HEY, HEY, HEY. You make me want you. Put my hands up. My hands up all again now.

USA, USA, USA.

Come on in. >> Oh my god.

A. meat.

The following program is a collection of. students talking about happenings in the. sports world. It is meant to be comedic, informative. The opinions expressed on. this show do not necessarily reflect the. beliefs of their peers, their boss or. ESPN. There may be some cuss words. because that's how humans in the real. world talk. If you are a young, please.

This show sticks and the fact that you. listen, we are very, very thankful for. the line with a gorgeous assist. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers, you. start. Damn it. Be a friend. Tell a. friend something nice could change their. life.

sport. Hello beautiful people and. welcome to our hugle the boat the draft. kings thunderdome on this down under. football September 10th 2026 this sports. program begins now. >> FOOTBALL. >> IS fantastic not bad for an old lad. ladies and gentlemen joining us live in. the thunderdome once again after a year. of coaching for a team in which he's no. longer coaching for a guy who coached in.

the NFL for 19 years college for 18. years was uh my head coach when I was at. the Indianapolis Colts, a gentleman, a. scholar, a friend of the program, ladies. and gentlemen. Welcome back, Coach. Pagano. >> Good to see you, Coach B. The talks. tables here at Boston Conor and at Tai. Schmidt, con man, we're certainly going. to dive into a lot about you. One half. of the hammer down Cowboys AP Tone is. here. And uh don't look now. >> We're one for one on OUR SUPER BOOST.

LET'S GO, BABY. >> OBVIOUSLY, the NFL kicked off in a huge. way. The Super Bowl champion Seattle. Seahawks are now undefeated to start the. year as JSN in the fourth quarter scores. the first touchdown for the Seattle. Seahawks off of Drew Locks beautiful. throw. JSN turned on the afterburners. outruns the entire New England Patriot. defense. A KG affair, a uh little bit of. a dirty affair whenever you think about. it. And then Darnold loses his first. game after just four plays of action.

Drew Lock, incredible backup. quarterback, which we remember from. sidelines of the Denver Broncos whenever. he was rapping alongside Lopezy. Talking. about his bodyguard. Yeah, that's my. bodyguard. He obviously has a lot of. experience. He gets dropped in there. with a firsttime play caller and Brian. Flurry and executes and gets a huge win. over the New England Patriots. Now, what. is the question? What is the story. coming out of last night? Well, is Drake. May suck? That is what people are going. to ask. Drake May in his last couple. games has more turnovers than he had in. the first season in which he played.

Drake May was seeing a little bit of. ghost maybe in the fourth quarter or was. he just trying to force some things were. some things maybe not his fault and that. ended up obviously being put on his. stats. Three picks in the fourth quarter. including this game losing pick right. here at the very end of the game. Now we. can look at this play from the all 22. angle and uh I think we should do that. Maybe it's not just 100% Drake May. Now, Granite cannot be throwing the ball to. the other team in field goal range. Under a minute left in the game, down a. field goal as a starting quarterback.

that's been in MVP finals conversations. Pause. Both of those tackles, if you. could please put it on the back wall. here. A lot of people have been talking about. this. We'll have Brian Baldinger on us. here in a matter of moments to join us. But both tackles are going for a cut. You see that? See that, Chuck? You see. what's going on here, coach? >> Both these guys are going for a cut. So, what's that mean? three-step quick game. >> Ball's coming out quick. >> Get the edges hands down. >> Could still get a first down. Obviously, it's third down. I think they do have a. timeout left. So, this one's either. first down, touchdown, or out of bounds,

whatever the case is. So, we can kick a. field goal and live to see another day. This is supposed to be a three-step. drop. You can tell by the cut here. The. reason why they're cutting. So, THE. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS DEFENDER, OH, HAVE PUTS. THEIR HANDS down so the ball can come. out over top. Who's he probably trying. to get to? This guy right here who's. going to go to the sticks literally. Bang. That's where the ball's supposed. to go right now. Supposed to be out. But. if you go back just a little bit, Foxy, just a little bit back, Foxy, this. corner could have potentially spooked. him a little bit because Matt Holland. has an inside release here instead of an. outside release. Fe has an outside.

release. This guy's back is probably out. here. This ball's coming out to Hunter. Henry. Probably a first down. Let's run. down to Clark's try to score a touchdown. or kick the field goal to tie this. thing. Instead, still could have M. Collins, but his first look's off. His. tomy's off. Don't even look back here. This ball is supposed to be out of his. hands quick, which is why these tackles. go down like this. Instead, he makes a. little razledazzle. Throws off his back. foot pick. They lose. The MVP finalist. is a big dumb dip [ __ ] It threw three. picks in the fourth quarter, including. this game, losing one. So, it's it's all. about those fine details that kind of. happened, which obviously makes the.

quarterback position the hardest in all. sports. But, I don't think this is 100%. Drake May's fault, but he's got to. handle the adversity whenever it's. happening in real time, don't you? >> 100%. He should know, first of all, I. mean, it's middlefield uh close uh. defense, man-to-man coverage. So to your. point, Pat, about Matt calling, if he. outside release, that corner is in. press. He's got to take a man turn. So. he's not going to be anywhere near the. picture, which when you talked about he. possibly spooking, you know, uh, M, you. know, the quarterback here and getting. off of Hunter Henry cuz that ball should.

be out. Throw, catch, and he may get out. of bounds. They won't even have to burn. a timeout, you know, Henry the tight end. here. So yeah, there's there's just. something off here. >> Yeah, just bad play. He already threw. two picks, so he doesn't want to throw. another one. And then inevitably the. worst case scenario takes place and this. is the play that everybody's going to. talk about. He had two other picks now. Incredible play on the first one. I mean. it was a bat bat in the air. Seattle. Seahawks defense obviously phenomenal. Second one not great either. And then. this one obviously loses the game but. it's all these fine details that you.

would think would get honed in whenever. you go. That's an incredible play. That. is should have thrown it there but. that's still an incredible play. There's. a couple of those that are taking place. So, I'm not 100% out on Drake May, but I. am 100% in on this Seattle Seahawks. team. >> Quarterback gets hurt four plays in. Why'd you make him walk off? That looked. bad. Every step I saw him take, I. thought he was more hurt and more hurt, more hurt. They said they had optimistic. news out of the hip, but he has another. scan coming today. Hip is a that's a. >> Yes, >> that's a big thing. And I think I saw. some doctors online basically saying.

like they would know probably pretty. quickly if something was wrong with the. hip. The hip feels like uh that's one. that could be a problematic. Thank god. they had a good backup quarterback that. were able to do it. Their defense. though, McDonald played him the same way. that he played in the Super Bowl. I. think it was like 76% zone in the Super. Bowl, 78% in zone last night. McDonald. feel felt like he had a good read on. what Drake May likes and what Drake May. doesn't like. Had him seeing some ghosts. there towards the end. And what I think. we know about the Seattle Seahawks team. after watching him just for one game, their culture has been established. They. fly around. They play hard. They're.

obviously going to be sound. They're not. scared to get into a grimy football. game. and John Schneider who will be. joining us at 110. He built this team. very well. Has a backup quarterback. ready to go in there and perform opening. night if you need it with a brand new. play caller. I like where the Seahawks. sit, but I'm not exactly all the way out. on Drake May like everybody else is cuz. it seems like this is potentially. fixable. Con man. >> Yeah, definitely fixable. It felt like. he got bored. You know, you mentioned. all three of those picks were in the. fourth quarter. It felt like he was okay. with those checkdowns only for so long. Even that first unbelievable. interception here, it is second down.

You know, maybe you don't have to check. it. If it's third down, you could kind. of rule this as a punt. Hey, whatever. He was just kind of throwing it up. there. Maybe Romeo Dobs makes a play. It's second down, so not a great. decision, but still can live with it. And especially with Romeo Dobs hadn't. really made many plays, hadn't had many. targets. That might have been his first. target of the entire game, and it's in. the fourth quarter, so that one's tough. But the things that we were most worried. about kind of showed up. Like the. offensive line, not that bad. The front. seven for Seattle, it's the best in the. league. They're going to do this to a.

lot of teams. Mike McDonald is going to. do this to a lot of quarterbacks, make a. lot of guys look bad, but for the. decision-m at the end, I mean, it's the. worst throw of Drake May's career. I. think he would even agree with that. Probably the worst decision of his. career. You know, the cup block, you. guys mentioned how he was going trying. to go outside. Morgan Moses, the right. tackle, got none of Demarcus Lawrence. So, maybe he couldn't even see Hunter. Henry through Demarcus Lawrence in that. entire thing. Maybe that ball gets. batted. Either way, you just can't throw. it that deep. It did feel like the. defense was the defense. Drew Lock, yes,

he's a backup quarterback. We got he got. every single rep in the preseason. So, we talk about these early games being. kind of like preseason games for the. starters because of the fact that they. don't play any in the preseason anymore. Drew Lock coming in, he's experienced. He's an eight-year guy. He knows how to. play, but not not all terrible. Should. have had it. You know, you got to win. those ones, especially on the road, and. it sucks to lose that way, especially. when you go to overtime. You feel pretty. good about your team no matter what. But. it was a solid game. Lot to be positive. about for New England.

>> Seattle and New England both started 0. and1 last year, end up making it to the. Super Bowl. Obviously, this is not an. indicator of what the rest of the season. could look like, but it also could be, you know, but teams that end up going on. and being great normally start out the. season well. Uh that is something that a. first quarter of the season normally. ends up well for the teams that end up. great at the very end. Seattle Seahawks. show up as Super Bowl champs and play. great football. Once again, John. Schneider, general manager of the. Seattle Seahawks, will be joining us in. about an hour. We don't know what. answers he will have at this point. because obviously testing and getting. the it back and we're how many hours.

removed from the game. We will certainly. want to talk to him though about having. a great backup quarterback ready. Yeah. >> Uh your new offensive play caller, how. do you think he did? Because there were. some situations that made us say uh what. the Chuck, which we'll be debuting here. in a few moments with Chuck Pagano about. things that are certainly questionable. But as we go to one have the hammer down. Cowboys AP tone, what do the sports. books feed off of last night? because. obviously it was a push, ended up being. a three-point spread. It ends up being a. three-point spread. Uh the under. obviously goes crazy. It was a KG.

affair. Our Super Boost hits, thank God, late even though AJ Brown left the game. in a boot. We think that's just going to. be a little sprained ankle. We're I. don't want to like. >> No, I do want to do it. We're daytime. talk show host. We're allowed to do. this. We are projecting that that is a. sprained ankle. >> Didn't look superior. >> Yeah, we think that is a sprained ankle. of some sort. We think he will be back, but obviously for an explosive athlete. having an ankle, every single step is. certainly something. When I see him. leave the game and I've seen how KJ Drew. Lock backup quarterbacks in there, I.

thought our super boost was done. >> Oh yeah, for sure. >> Instead, JSN goes absolutely crazy. We. hit a super boost. What other uh bets or. parlays or things hit last night for. DraftKings that maybe need to be talked. about? >> I'd assume everything hit for DraftKings. last night except for JSN and his totals. and his touchdown props. uh because. everything else w was under. Uh when you. talk about obviously Sam Darnold went. out, AJ Brown went out, so none of those. hit as far as that's concerned. Drake. May didn't go over his numbers. Uh Rae. Stevenson didn't go over his numbers. Jaren Price, I believe, went under his. There was a lot of unders last night, so.

that's always good for the sports book. as far as props are concerned, as far as. totals concerned. And it pushes a. really, really good result for them. because everyone was on Seattle last. night. So, as far as the sports book is. concerned, a great night for them except. for uh our super boost that hit and I. assume everyone was on it. So, besides. that, the sports book had a great night. >> Yeah, it's a good start for DraftKings. Isn't that nice? Isn't that nice how. that goes? They did do uh something for. the Gamblers with the early exits with. Sam Darnold and with AJ Brown. Sam. Darnold in the first four plays first.

half. I believe that's always something. where they remove Sam Darnold from the. parlays that you have. Then there's an. opt-in insurance type early exit thing. You can do it for your other bets where. they take 3% of your overall bet for if. somebody gets injured on there, which AJ. Brown did in the third quarter. But this. week, I'm being told they're waving. those fees for first week, but you still. have to opt into it. I like that this. happened, but it certainly affects a lot. of the game content. >> Yeah, it definitely affects a lot. You. needed AJ Brown. But yeah, the optin. this thing with DraftKings is fantastic. Like tonight, if you bet a h 100red. bucks on Christian McCaffrey, you.

usually still have to opt in, but it. gives you a 3% kind of fee. Like you. mentioned, bet 100 bucks really becomes. a $97 bet, but like you mentioned, they're kind of waving that three bucks. So whether he gets hurt in the first. half, it doesn't really matter, which is. massive as far as a gambler. But yeah, AJ Brown getting hurt wasn't the. greatest. >> Yeah, you still have to opt in though. Still have to opt in, but the fee will. be waved. Okay, so we got to make sure. That sounds stupid. We all think it. sounds stupid. I think even DK thinks it. sounds stupid. They've decided to wave. the fee, but I think the back end of. getting it up there is certainly in the.

process of happening. So, the early exit. fee is great for everybody this weekend, obviously, if it's getting waved. But AJ. Brown getting hurt in his first game and. not getting targeted till the second. half was certainly a surprise for me. Uh, Coach Pagano, you have a player that. you've traded for. The reason why you've. traded for him and why he's on your team. is because at the last place he wasn't. happy with how he is being used. We. thought they would be maybe like. force-feeding him. Obviously, they did. not. He didn't get targeted till like. third quarter. How do you think they. treat that? And if you were talking to. Drake May today, what would your. messaging be for him?

>> Well, Drake May obviously you got to put. it behind him. He's got to be smart of. that. That last throw. I know Josh. McDaniels was in his ear. I heard BA I. heard all our offensive coordinators in. Andrew Luck's ear, a bunch of. quarterbacks. Hey, look, if it's there, throw it. If not, the ball is. incomplete. It's out of bounds. Nobody. But our guy can catch that football. So, they're going to build him up. I mean, you got 16 weeks left. You got a long. ass season. Um, it's egregious what he. did here, but as as far as you know, AJ.

Brown goes, the return on investment. Now, you spent a lot of money for him. and Romeo. >> Mhm. >> Romeo, Romeo, where art thou? Like, like. where was he? Like, he had a chance for. a big play. He's got the big guardian. cap on. He was looking for somebody to. whack his ass, you know, on on that. crossing route. But. >> I think it's twofold. Like Josh. McDaniels had play scripted up to get. him the ball. Every offensive corner, you got the new playmaker and that's all.

we've talked about is this is the guy. that's going to get us over the hump. This is the guy that's going to get us. back to the Super Bowl and win a Super. Bowl and he had one little bootleg I. think early in that game where he caught. a little eight n yard and then nothing. A lot of it had to do with McDonald's. defense, how they were playing him. Shell defense. >> Hold on. Flee Flicker though, I. completely forgot about that. Early Flee. Flicker did come early. two target AJ. Brown. >> They booted. They booted early too, Pat. I think I remember they booted to the. quarterback's left and hit him on a. little uh little delay flat route.

underneath deal. Caught it eight, nine. yards, whatever it was, the flea. flicker. Um. >> and and Seattle was egregious. They. should have known. Third and two, that's. a waste down situation. You know. something's coming with Josh McDaniels. But anyway, that was underthrown. And uh. but the shell defense that McDonald. deploys, they're going to stay over the. top of this dude. So there wasn't. opportunities like for hey just run a. takeoff. He didn't give him any. one-on-one opportunities where you could. just throw the ball down the field. So a.

lot had to do with the way they were. playing defense. >> McDonald's a super genius. We think. >> he's he's really good. I mean that. >> he started at Baltimore terribly, right? Didn't he? >> The one thing Yeah. When he started Hold. on, coach. He he started Baltimore. He's. terrible. Remember we broke it down on. this show. I think they had uh I forget. who the wide. >> rece was against the the Dolphins that. >> cover zero against Tyreek Hill, I think, and you came on and were like, "This. ain't going to work." Okay, this guy is. and I think Debb did as well. It's like. never want to be put in a position where. you're one-on-one tight coverage on.

Tyreek Hill with nobody over top to save. you. I think McDonald started out with. the Baltimore Ravens in a very bad way. I I think it was not good. Then he found. his way. Now I'm considering him u like. defensive guru. You know, we got a lot. of offensive gurus that are getting head. coaching jobs. He's a defensive guru. that has a head coaching job. Finding. his way of leadership. Why is it? What. is it about his defense that's so good? And obviously the dudes are all bought. in on him. >> He's he's brilliant. He does a great job. of taking away what you do best. He's t.

his the way he attacks protections is. impeccable. Like he's got free runners. The last time they played in the Super. Bowl, went back and watched that one. before this one. Free runner after free. runner after free runner. You know, he. loves to bring the nickel from the. field. All right, they're always going. to line their nickel to the field. That's just how it goes. They love. bringing them. It was Witherspoon. Was. it Eman Worry who didn't play in the. game, but he does a great job of. breaking down your protections. He does. a great job of getting free runners. And. then he does a great job with, hey, you.

think it's cover zero and it looks like. zero in the back end, then all of a. sudden you have poppers coming out like. that first one where they pressured uh. Spoon was free and pressured the. quarterback into throwing it away. He. does he does a great job with that. And. you know how hard it is to be a head. coach, run the whole game, manage the. whole game, the clock, the situations, the red flag, all that stuff, and call. aside, be an offensive, you know, head. coach and call the offense or a. defensive head coach and call on the. defense. Jesse Mener is going to do it. for Baltimore this year. He's another.

one of those Mike McDonald protege. coming out of the Ravens. Uh, be. interesting to see how how that one. unfolds. He's a big brain, too. But but. Mike is just you speak about culture. like what what they've done up there, what he's done in a short amount of time. and already has a Super Bowl under his. belt. >> Freaking phenomenal. >> Yeah, he's really good. He called it his. first team meeting as a lot of coaches. have, but he actually did and everybody. has bought in. I'm a big believer, especially with what Hardnox has done. Uh joining us now, senior NFL insider. for ESPN, ladies and gentlemen, Adam.

Shfter. >> Sheffy, happy NFL season. I see you're. in the middle of it right now. We. watched you just tweet uh the Sam. Darnold update that he got a scan or an. MRI on his hip this morning. Team. doctors are still reviewing to determine. how much time he will miss. It is. expected to be some, but for now, the. team believes it, as one source. described it, dodged a bullet. We'll be. talking to John Schneider in about 54. minutes or so here on this particular. program. What are you learning? What are. you hearing? And uh what do you mean by. dodged a bullet? They think that uh Go. ahead. text, another text in from.

somebody else up there in Seattle at the. organization and they said and I'm. reading to you right now literally just. came in still waiting on more details. Think we avoided something really bad. though. Okay, so hip is an interesting injury. because obviously we remember Tua I. think had a hip uh Bo did Bo Jackson way. back in the day ended. >> his career. >> but normally it's like knee or ankle or. something like that hip feels like. whenever it gets injured it is. catastrophic and the way he was walking.

off the field is like well it's. definitely not nothing so I do wonder. what dodging a bullet means whenever it. comes to a hip injury maybe it's just a. bad bruise or something. >> Well I I think I think he's going to. miss a little time here. Like I think. that's going to happen. Okay. But. they're going over it right now. Like. we're doing this real time, Pat. So, the. doctors there in the organization are. going over it and it sounds like he's. going to miss some time. Um, but they're. literally going over the MR as we speak. to determine how much time that's going.

to be. Um, we'll see what it turns out. to be. I'm going to guess multiple. games, but on the fewer side of multiple. than the higher side. and we'll see what. the team comes up with you. >> Okay, we appreciate you. We're going to. call you back cuz you sound like you're. a little bit of of a robot. Could get. better connection there. Okay, so. multiple weeks uh but probably not long. term. As you know, the hip situation is. a very serious one. Drew Lock, this is. the key to having a good backup. quarterback. I mean, having a good.

backup quarterback is a massive ordeal. Drew Lock stepped in there no problem. Handled the business. Didn't seem to be. worried about it. Four plays in. Congratulations. you're a Super Bowl. champion quarterback now. We need you to. go step up and play. Perfect attitude. for it, perfect setup for it. Congrats. to them. Now, coach, let's talk about. the Patriots a little bit. What did you. see from the New England side that. either has you worried about them this. season or maybe excited that uh they're. not as ass looked in that fourth quarter. against the Seattle Seahawks? >> Well, the defense, I know they were.

facing a backup quarterback, but the. defense looked stout. That defensive. front, they got great pressure uh on the. quarterbacks from Seattle. They did a. great job. They did a great job there in. the back end. They can cover obviously. getting Gonzo paid. He did a great job. out there. A couple one-on- ones with. Jackson Smith in JS. >> Say it. Yep. Say it. Jackson Smith in. Jigba. >> In Jigba. >> In Jigba. >> JSN. >> Yeah, JSN. >> Somebody messed that up. But anyway, >> Drewi Drewki did it became a big thing.

Obviously, we understand. >> It's a tough one if you get into it. But. no, there was a lot of things to like. the offensive line commen you mentioned. The offensive line. Um, they got to get. these receivers that that deal fixed. They're going to get Henderson back at. some point. I think they missed, you. know, that one-two punch with with him. and uh uh. >> Raandre. >> Leandre Stevenson. So, um, you know, a. lot to go on the road in that. environment. Again, I know it was Drew. Lockach. Um, to be up two scores 10. nothing late in that late in that ball.

game. I mean, you it's a brutal loss. It's going to be hard to overcome. >> Yeah. A lot of people letting their. jokes fly about the coach of the New. England Patriots after losing that game. the way they lost it. And that's going. to continue. And with with what AI is. now, >> I saw a banner. Did you see the banner? >> Yeah. I mean, there's a lot there's a. lot going on. I mean, that's the life. that we live. Best truck down the line. Ram trucks. Listen, if you want to ride. on clouds. >> and pull anything and feel that power. underneath you whenever you're driving,

you get yourself a Ram truck. What's it. sound like whenever you hit that gas. pedal again? Joining us now is a man who. through all the news and inside. information of the NFL. Senior NFL. insider for ESPN, Adam Shaffer's back. >> Hopefully this connection is better. Hopefully this connection is better. Different phone. >> It already sounds better. You already. look better, which is tough to do. because of how fantastic you obviously. always look. Okay, so Sam Darnold going. through the scan. Doctor's reading it. now. We dodged the bullet. Probably out.

a couple weeks, but probably not. forever. Okay, let's go over the New. England Patriots side. AJ Brown sprained. ankle. Is that what we're assuming? Have. we gotten any information out of that? Because obviously high price target this. off season. Doesn't have a lot of impact. in the game and ends in a walking boot. Can you tell us a little bit about what. we know about AJ. >> right now? NFL Network Junior and Mike. Guffalo said it's a high ankle sprain, which again, we knew you knew when he. went down there was some type of ankle. sprain. Not a surprise to see it looks. like a high ankle sprain. He's going to. have more testing there today. They want.

to see how long he'll be out. I guess. they want to see if there's any kind of. fracture in there. Hopefully not for his. sake. Um limped off the field there last. night. Went to the locker room. We'll. see how long he's going to be out, but. that's going to be probably a multiple. week injury in all probability. >> Okay, let's pivot away from last night. Let's move to tonight. It's down under. football time tonight on Netflix as the. Rams and Niners will do battle down in. Melbourne. The Rams landed 1,713. minutes away from kickoff time.

Obviously, the Niners had been there for. an entire week. A lot of different. experts have come out and said multiple. different things. If you go a week. ahead, you can become a real Australian. and you can play at 10:00 a.m. You feel. good. Rams Shawn McVey has been very. good whenever he's played international. He's arrived about as close to kickoff. time as you possibly can. Every single. time he has traveled over to London, they have pounded teams whenever they've. gone to London. They sent four players. this off seasonason in the past couple. years down to Australia to document how.

they feel when they feel. They think. that what they're doing right now is. actually strategically, scientifically. advanced as opposed to what the Niners. chose to do. How should we expect this. to unfold? Is Miles Garrett going to. play? Aaron Donn doesn't make the trip. Miles Garrett hasn't played in a while, had knee swelling. What do we know about. the Los Angeles Rams, their travel, and. who's playing, who's not playing? Well, I think it's fascinating on a lot. of levels because opening week is always. so unpredictable and organizations worry.

about opening week. Now, if you take. opening week and then you throw in that. it's in Australia and you throw in that. one team left a week ago and one team. left just this week and are taking two. entirely different approaches to the. game, it becomes more unpredictable than. anybody could imagine. So the ners have. George KD back. He tore his Achilles in. January. He obviously went and met with. his doctor Neil atro when the 49ers are.

having practices with the Chargers and. they knew that he was way ahead of. schedule and it's obviously shown up. because he's going to be out there. tonight. Nick Bosa coming off the knee. injury last year. Now we'll see how. effective he is, but he's going to be. out there tonight for the 49ers. Still. no Muel Williams. Christian McCaffrey. was off the injury report for the. soreness that he had for training camp. He'll be out there. Mike Evans will be. out there. So, it sounds like by and. large the 49ers that we've known through.

the years will be out there by and. large. The Rams Aaron Donald didn't make. the trip. They just felt like they. wanted to give him a little bit more. time to get ready. My sense of it is is. that when the Rams return home to Los. Angeles and play on Monday Night. Football next week against the New York. Giants that Aaron Donald will be back on. the field for that game. Now, Miles. Garrett was held out of camp, had some. knee issues. He's going to be back out.

there tonight. He's playing okay. >> out there. Puka miss some time. He's. going to be out there. I mean, as good. as you could expect, both sides are. pretty much full go. And we'll see how. it works out with the time difference. You know, I will say this, driving into. the city this morning, New York City, 5:30 a.m. today, and uh I spoke to a. couple of 49ers people at 5:30 a.m. It. was 7:30 a.m. there or 7:30 p.m. there.

and they were going to bed to wake up. early to go to the stadium for the. Friday morning game that kicks off. 10:30. So Pat, you were a player. How. far in advance did you get to the. stadium? And if you were playing at. 10:30, what time would you have been. there? >> I think every single player is saying. that they would like to do the Rams way. >> They I think that is what everybody is. saying. Just like I think four hours. before game is when when first bus go. when first bus go over normally.

>> four hours. Yeah, 4 hours before game. was normally first bus. >> 6:30 in the morning. 6:30 in the morning. in Australia. >> Well, that's 6:30 in the morning for the. Niners because they've been there all. week and they've got to acclimated to. the time. So, they're playing they're. waking up 4:30 probably to get to 6:30. bus uh over to the thing. It's like. you're in a bad spot where the Rams are. like, "Yeah, we're waking up like two in. the afternoon." Yeah. 2 in the. afternoon. We're going to head over. there. We got a 5:30 game uh Pacific. time, right? That that would be their. staying on the Pacific time. But I. appreciate though and Kevin Demoff of.

the uh Rams Demoff, sorry, of the entire. Kroni operation said, "I'm we're about. sick and tired of [ __ ] San Francisco. 49ers talking about us not growing our. brand." Okay, but that is what the. Niners are doing. We would like to say. to the Niners, because they go over. there a week in advance, hotel, other. side of the world, can't really talk to. your family, getting acclimated to a. time zone that is not going to behoove. you at all after this first game. Everything they're doing right now, the. more we think about it, the more I would. not want to be on their team. I'd want. to be on the Rams team, but what they're.

doing for the NFL, showing face, going. to stuff. We Good on you. >> Good work, Niners. >> We appreciate you Niners doing it. Now, is that going to affect you for weeks. two and three coming back as you're an. Australian coming back to America and. the Rams are just not doing at all. Certainly good thing, but we would like. to let them know we appreciate that. You. said Miles Garrett's up and running. That's great news. I feel like that's. the first time I've gotten real. confirmation that Miles Garrett's going. to be up and running. That's a G. I. cannot wait to see what the Rams defense. looks like with Miles Garrett out there. Okay, let's pivot away from the NFC.

West, shall we? And let's go to the AFC. West. Yesterday had some fantasy. footballers not happy. Go ahead, con. man. >> Yeah, chef, you kind of out of nowhere. Brock Bowers is getting a trim on his. meniscus. Yesterday or the day before, Kubak said, "Hey, him Crosby, everyone. is going to be good to go." And then. this kind of came out of nowhere. Uh. what is this situation? doesn't feel. like a meniscus trim is one to two. weeks, but maybe he has a kind of the. what is it? Tasmanian devil blood, Wolverine blood like Russell Wilson and. can heal very fast. But what is this.

situation? How come we were told uh. Bowers was going to be fine and good to. go on Sunday? And is there going to be. any repercussions from that? >> Well, I don't think there'll be. repercussions. They were not required to. submit an injury report to the end of. the day. And I think in hindsight, Clint. Kubiaak, a rookie head coach, when he's. answering the question, probably the. best answer is the injury report will be. out at the end of the day. He could have. said that. He opted to answer it a. different way. He has not been in that. setting over and over. And it sounds. like when you watch it, re-watch it, it.

sounds like he just, yeah, everybody's. going to be out there. Like, just leave. me alone. Like, we'll get to this when. we get to it. But the proper way to. probably answer that would have just. been, you know, the injury report will. be out later. Of course, he didn't know. that the report was going to come out on. Brock Bowers in the afternoon, but he. did know that Brock Bowers would be. listed on the injury report as not. practicing on Wednesday. Again, I we. didn't come across this information till. early in the afternoon and we went from.

there. So again, if you're Clint Kubak. in that particular situation, you. probably have to know that your team is. going to be saying he's not practicing, which he he didn't. And I would have. just been very general and vague and. said the injury report will be out at. the end of the day, but that's not the. way he answered it. Now, are there going. to be ramifications for that? I the. league's not going to I don't think I've. never heard of a league finding a coach. for misrepresenting the truth. Like if.

he he he didn't do anything on the. injury report that was illegal. If they. fudged the injury report or didn't. report Brock Bowers on Wednesday when he. had the surgery the day before in. Dallas, that would have been a problem. But he could say whatever he wants to. the media. >> Yeah. And the people that are listening. to him talk to the media are saying, "No, thanks dude. You just kind of led. me astray here in this entirety." You. remember it was just a couple years. back, Christian McCaffrey, what four. days before the season started, you told. us that he had Achilles tendonitis and. he's going to be out a little bit. We're. like, what? And now the Brock Bower's.

meniscus trim. He's going to be out for. a little bit. Obviously is one of the. top players in the entire National. Football League is certainly something. A lot of people going back to the Harry. Ruiz video of when he got out on the. field. Obviously taped there on his left. knee that we could assume that that's. potentially the knee that has the. meniscus there in it. Go ahead. >> Well, what what I would say to this is. first of all, last week the Raiders, every team, they're not required to. submit an injury report. So, I was. unaware of some of these videos and him.

limping. >> Oh, yeah. >> But I can tell you like I covered the. Denver Broncos for 16 years. If the star. of their team, Shannon Sharp, were out. there hopping around on one leg with his. knee all taped up, I I'm just telling. you like that would have meant more to. me than anything else. So, I I don't. know why it didn't come out. Like, I. didn't know about it until yesterday. >> So, that that's the deal. None of us. knew about it till yesterday, but we. watch this clip and we see the tape on. the knee and you see how he goes. You. go, man, I wonder if he just thought he. was going to be able to battle through.

because remember meniscus is something. you could still operate. It's just. incredibly painful. Just like wildly. wildly painful. The one to two week. projection. >> Well, well, hold on. That the one to two. week projection is coming essentially. from. people around him. Him. Okay. Him and. people around him. That's what they. believe. Now, a now a player a player's. f they're always going to downplay it. because they're they're going to want. you to think he'd come back sooner. He.

probably thinks he can come back in a. week or two. That's what he probably. thinks. That's what he's shooting to do. He wants to be there as soon as possible. for his team and as soon as he could be. on the field, he's going to be that. going to be a week or two. Well, that. may be what he thinks, but let's see how. it actually goes, right? And even if he. is back in a week or two, let's give him. the benefit of the doubt that he's a. warrior. He gets back out there. He's. playing sooner than we thought. Is he. going to be at full strength in a week. or two? No, he's not. That's not. practical or realistic. It's going to.

take a little bit of time to get over. that. How is that? How long? I don't. know. Every player's different. I don't. know the extent of the trim, but that's. that's kind of where we're at right now. It it'll be a little bit of time. It's a. setback. It's a setback in what's a big. year for Brock Bowers. He's eligible for. a contract after this year. It's a big. year for the Raiders. They have a new. rookie head coach. They have the number. one overall pick in Mendoza. And he he's. he he might be their best player and now. he's going to miss the start of the.

season. >> Yeah. And as somebody who's gotten a few. minis done, uh I've never mine role is. in the offseason, but I don't think I. was ever thinking to myself, vastly. different position, probably a different. procedure, you name it, all this type of. stuff. But as somebody who's got their. knee scoped four or five times now at. this point, one to two weeks seems like. such an aggressive response. But I think. we had a guy who was maybe two weeks, three, I think from my understanding, I'm just remembering Ewall. He got. something like a scope done to his knee, Eric Walden, and I saw him walking out. of the training room like 4 days after.

he got it done and I was like, "Man, you're already walking right now." He's. like, "Yeah, I think I'll be back." So I. think there's varying degrees of the. surgery. >> That's what he thinks. Now again, we'll. see, right? You know, he thinks it's. going to be a game or two. Well, let's. let's let's see what it turns out to be. >> Let's stay in Las Vegas. Go ahead, Chuck. >> Yeah, Chefy, what about as two things? Astony, what's his status? From all. reports, sounds like he's going to be. good to go. And then second, hypothetical. Let's say uh Kirk Cousins. goes out and just absolutely lays a leg. and lays an egg and starts throwing the.

ball to the Miami Dolphins, you know, two, three times. And then this fan. base, this crowd starts chanting, "Fernando, Fernando, Fernando, Fernando. Right. Is there is there a possibility that. they succumb to that that pressure, pull. Kirk and and stick Fernando in or or or. what do you what's your thoughts on. that? >> Yeah. Well, first, hello, coach. How you. doing? Right. >> Great to see you. >> Yeah, nice to see you. My my answer to. that would be this that time and time.

again, we have teams repeatedly saying. that they're going to be patient with. their number one overall pick and. they're not going to rush him onto the. field. And Fernando Mendoza is the first. quarterback since, I believe, Baker. Mayfield in 2018 that isn't starting on. opening day. Up until now, there have. been six straight number one picks as. quarterback that had started on opening. day. So, everybody always says, "Yeah, we're not going to rush him along." And. then they do rush him along. And the. Raiders have been steadfast and adamant. in saying, "We're not going to rush.

Fernando Mendoza. This is why we got. Kurt Cousins. You know, we want him to. basically be out there while Fernando. learns on the job, watches, observes. Don't want to rush him along. Don't want. to ruin him early as some quarterbacks. are. That's their plan. Now, let's see. how long they can stick to the plan. A. lot of that is going to be dependent on. how Kirk Cousins plays, which again. comes back to the Bower's absence. That's a huge deal when you're missing.

your best player on offense. And so they. they would like to ride out Cousins as. long as they can. If you look at their. schedule, it's interesting. I think. their buy is in week. >> 13. >> Yeah. >> And after their buy, they have three. straight home games. Now, they've never. said this, but I'm just telling you that. in a perfect world, I think that they. would love for Kirk Cousins to play well. enough, for the team to play well enough. for them to win games to get to that buy. in December.

And then midway through December, they. can potentially turn to Mendoza for. three straight home games against the. Chargers, Broncos, and uh what is it? Titans. I can't even say the last. >> Yeah, Titans. Yeah. So, you got uh you. got the Broncos defense, but like 13. weeks is a long time. Okay, that that is. an incredibly long time. By then, fate. has already probably been decided for. your team and what it's going to look. like, but obviously you obviously have. 13 weeks or 12 weeks at least of Nando. watching Kirk be a leader, be a starting.

quarterback so he can learn from that. Now, on the other side, you got the. Chargers, they got Derwin, he's pretty. good. Denver's defense pretty good. And. then Robert Salah's defense at. Tennessee. It's like every week you're. going to run into a good team. This is. the NFL. Is there ever a perfect time? Maybe being home is the right time. But. I like that Chuck Bagano is like, >> "Hey, let's see. Let's say Kirk goes out. there and Halfley's got a little. something for him." Three picks in the. first half, which we just saw three. picks in the second half of a game for a. quarterback last night. That was finals. from an MVP. So, it was certainly. possible out there. And they do start.

chanting Nando out there. A Nando chant. would be a sweet one for Kubak to have. to deal with. Now, this is Kubak having. to deal with the public pressure. Okay, you're dealing with public pressure in. real time. This is just like whenever. fans want you to challenge something and. you either have to do it or not do it. and it's like he's already stepped up to. the plate the press conference and say. guys are good don't worry about it that. an hour later he's not actually good. It's like all right how will Kubak. handle all of this stuff tough situation. and amount of money that they've. invested in that roster might be their. best team going forward. I love how many.

text messages you're getting because how. much [ __ ] is actually happening in real. time. We appreciate you joining us. We're wondering if any more stuff's. going to happen business-wise. Go ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, Shy, are you anticipating any. other extensions to happen before all. the the rest of the games kick off on. Sunday, like JPJ, Tucker Craft, or any. of these other guys who we've kind of. been keeping an eye on who maybe haven't. gotten a deal done yet. >> Um, I think the Joey Porter one is. difficult. The sides have been a far far. apart. Um but again as we we were on.

Monday and I said to you at that point. in time that Gonzalez and the Patriots. uh were nowhere at that time. >> Yeah. >> And there were some conversations within. the organization about whether to pull. the deal before they got on the plane. which the deal gets done while they're. on the plane. And it just goes to show. you in this last week I always think. that there's a last push on both sides. to get something done. So even people. that aren't close like Joey Porter Jr. Suddenly they could get close. They.

could get close. I'm not telling you. they will. Um, that one I think is going. to be challenging to figure out because. the sides have been so far apart. So far. apart, but like if you bring up a guy. like Tucker Craft. and he's coming off a torn ACL and the. Packers have a relatively strong offer. out there. I I think it's hard coming. off an ACL to turn down real money. Like. in the case of Gonzalez, the $102. million guaranteed was the same money on.

the table Monday as it was that he took. Like how are you stepping onto the field. Wednesday night and turning down 102. guaranteed? That's hard to do in my. mind. And he didn't. Now I don't know. what the guarantee the Packers have to. Tucker Craft, but those conversations. will go on up until the weekend. And I'm. just saying like common sense wise, I. could see Tucker Craft getting it done. like Baker Mayfield, he didn't even know. about it, but his agent's like, "Okay, they're offering 55 a year, 150 if it's. guaranteed. What What are we doing. here?" Like, there's no reason to hold.

this out any longer. And so, I think. every player has to make that decision. this weekend before they play game one. Now, some of these talks will go into. the year. The Lions have shown a. propensity to do deals in season. So, maybe Sam Leapora gets done into the. season a little bit, but I think. there'll be I think there'll be some. extent. Parker Washington in. Jacksonville. I think there'll be some. extensions that get done by the time the. opening games roll around. >> Congrats to Parker getting a deal done. there. It sounds like Tucker Craft. potentially coming off an injury getting.

a good amount of money. 102 million from. our understanding. Pretty hard to turn. down 100 million. >> Definitely. >> from from our understanding that is not. an easy thing to do at all even though. people probably kill you for it if you. were to do it going forward. So good for. all these parties getting their money. But that is a huge part of negotiation. and leverage. You know, whenever. somebody has something and somebody's. looking for something, you go, are you. going to turn down your for show money? Looking for mo money because you might. end up with no money. That's the reality. of the situation. Now, let's go to Green. Bay because you tweeted something that.

none of us really understand. Go ahead, Tone. >> Yeah, Shifty. In reference to Josh. Jacobs and what he's going on, you. tweeted legal developments in Green Bay. That was a quote tweet to Rob Damoski. who said, "Josh Jacobs is pleading no. contest to the misdemeanor charges. I. dropped out of law school. What does. that mean exactly? >> And you start. >> Well, what it means is he's he pled no. contest to misdemeanor battery and. criminal damage to property. >> Um, so basically we've got the situation. that has been resolved legally. He has.

pled in this particular case, which. means he now can be on the clock for. discipline with the NFL. That that's. what it really mean. I also am not smart. enough to figure out what it means. legally. I won't even step into that. lane because that's not my lane. But I. think of these things, how does it. impact his football status? Well, the. case is now essentially closed. The NFL. now can step in and expedite its review.

and issue discipline. And it really. wouldn't be a surprise if the discipline. came sooner rather than later in this. particular case. So again, he's not. going to play Sunday, we don't think, because the league. placed him on the commissioner exempt. They'd have to remove him. And when they. remove him, I would expect that there. would be some form of discipline. We'll. see how many games the league decides to. suspend him for. Obviously, the DA.

referred to a video. All bets are off. If we all see a video, that's a. different deal as well. So, >> has Roger seen the video? Would Rogers. see the video? >> Well, I I would guess the league hasn't. yet seen the video. >> Um, I would think that the league would. attempt it. I only say that because the. Packers. last week said they hadn't seen the. video. So, if the Packers haven't seen. it, how did the league see it? Like, the. league is powerful, but I don't know. that they would be able to see before.

the Packers. I would think that the. league is going to want to see that. video before it hands down. >> Yes. >> discipline. So, we'll see how this all. shakes out. Yeah, because that video is. going to be put out publicly at some. point. Yeah, that video is going to be. made public at some point. And if just. like the Ray Rice situation where Raj. Goodell met, I believe with um. >> I forget her name, >> Ray's wife, >> Jana or Jana met with Ry and Jana, come. to a conclusion, come to a punishment, >> announced the punishment, and then all. of a sudden video hits and it's like. what? Yeah, this is what this is. I.

think that moment has changed Roger. Goodell and how he does punishments and. how the NFL punishes people forever. So, I think the NFL is right in saying we'd. like to see everything. We'd like to. know everything before we make a. punishment. That's why the exemption. list happens. It's like, hey, we you got. to figure your [ __ ] out before we figure. our stuff out. Hopefully, they're able. to figure that out. And honestly, we. need to stop putting ourselves in these. situations as a league as a whole. Let's. go ahead and stop making these types of. mistakes. And uh from this moment.

forward, no more arrests in the NFL. >> I like that. >> Boom. >> No more arrests in the NFL. I like that. a lot. Anything we missed, Chefy, uh. that we should have brought up for you? Any information that's falling and. vibrating through your phone right now. that maybe we should uh we should hit on. right now? Because every time you talk, it sounds like you maybe got a toy in. the in the side table. >> I'm going through it right now. We got. Josh Jacobs. We got Sam Darnold. We got. AJ Brown. Ashton Genty back at practice. He's.

going to play. Jeremiah Love looks like. he's going to play. Malik Neighbors is. on track to play Sunday night for the. New York Giants. A lot of players coming. back from injuries, which is really. interesting. And and as I've said. before, it's like Ty and I were talking. about this in the podcast this week. You. you think you have an idea of how this. is going to go always. And then the. games begin and Drake May throws three. picks and AJ Brown gets a high ankle. sprain and Sam Darnold hurts his hip and. is going to miss some time here. And. things happen that just change and alter. the trajectories of each franchise. It.

happens every week. We've seen one of. 272 regular season games. There going to. be 271 more times those trajectories are. altered starting tonight or tomorrow. morning in Australia depending on the. vantage point with which you're taking. in that game. before Baldi joins us here. in a couple moments. He might have the. better answer on this. No offense to. you, but the Chiefs don't have a left. tackle right now. They're going to. undrafted rookie Khalil Benson, who's. poised to start after the injury to left. tackle Josh Simmons. Obviously, Josh. Simmons, household name, left tackle,

very important position, especially. whenever you have potentially future. GOAT as quarterback, undrafted rookie. now, uh going to have a spotlight on him. and a red dot on him for sure as as that. game goes. He's from IU. Obviously is no. stranger to big moments and big games. We appreciate that. But this feels like. a big story line going into a season. with Patrick Mahomes as a quarterback. >> I agree with Mahomes coming back, him. starting nine months to the day that he. tore his ACL, his blind side is now. going to be protected by an undrafted.

rookie free agent. Now again, credit to that young man for making the. team, for winning the starting job. Obviously, he's impressed the Chief's. coaches, but it is still an undrafted. rookie free agent going up against a. tough Denver defense in that setting on. Monday night. And look, Andy Reid is as. smart as anybody with these things. I'm. sure they're going to slide protections, give the guy help, do whatever they have. to. Uh they're not going to leave the. guy exposed, but it's still an undrafted. rookie free agent starting at left. tackle.

>> That's Chiefs Broncos Monday Night. Football. Cannot wait to be in Kansas. City for that one. Chef, we appreciate. you. Have a good day today. >> Thank you guys. Have a great one. The. opening week. >> Are you joining Shregs on Big Day with. Big Shre? >> It's a big day here, Pat. That's why I'm. stuck here in New York City in the. office here where, you know, we're going. to do Big Day from here, then do NFL. live, then Sports Center. Peter Shreger. has rearranged my entire Thursday and. Monday so I could be in the city. >> That's good. It's a big day with big. >> talking about how football play. Yep.

You're Adam Sheff. >> What' you say there? Uh Chuck, you want. to talk about the Kansas City Chiefs? Obviously have an undrafted uh rookie at. left tackle there. >> I think they uh traded for or got the uh. Super Bowl MVP. Kenny, they call him K9. Kenneth Walker. Whole boatload of him. >> You think we're going to be running the. ball a lot there potentially. Joining us. now is an undrafted offensive lineman. out of Duke. Played 10 years in the NFL. Seen him on the internet, seen him on. TV. Quickly becoming one of our favorite. people. Ladies and gentlemen, Brian.

Baldinger. Yeah, Baldi. >> Baldi, perfect back. Good to be with you. here, man. Good to see you here. >> Hey, great to see you. Love the energy. Perfect timing for you to join us with. the conversation about the left tackle. being an undrafted guy out of IU for. Patrick Mahomes lead the season. Obviously, not desirable position for. the Kansas City Chiefs. Your thoughts on. Patrick Mahomes coming back with how. that could potentially affect literally. everything. >> Yeah, you know, I I saw Khalil Benson in. training camp out in St. Joseph's, Missouri. He was competing for the right. tackle job with Jayla Moore and I.

thought he was the front runner to win. that job. And then Trey Smith, he went. down in training camp. Cle Benson went. into right guard. He started the game at. right guard in preeason. Now he's out at. left tackle. So he's been bouncing. around uh Kansas City here along the. offensive line. But they need to put. their best five out there. And Khalil. Benson has proven at least in preeason. up against what Spags is putting out. there in training camp that he's held up. pretty good. And you know, you come out. of Indiana and you play 15 games at at.

Indiana, win the national championship. He got tested got tested against Miami. in that, you know, that championship. game and he he looked pretty good uh in. that last game in the championship. >> Yeah, you got to remember that Miami. defensive line is an NFL defensive line. So maybe he does have the experience. there. We'll certainly keep an eye on. that. Let's talk about the trenches a. little bit from last night. What you see. from the Patriots, maybe that give you. uh something good as we go down the. road. Everybody's talking about. obviously Drake May's decision-m in the. second half. We think the tackles on the.

game losing interception cut for a. reason that probably supposed to go out. to the tight end instead. Delay, offbalance throw, fade away, lose the. game. Did we learn anything about the. offensive line that maybe isn't terrible. for the New England Patriots as we go. forward? quality. >> They're much improved. But I mean that. last play right there, both tackles, Will Campbell on the left side, Morgan. Moses on the right side, they both went. to cut block to get the edge rushers. hands down to make that throw to Hunter. Henry against Julian Love. That was the. throw. And for whatever reason, uh, Drake didn't decide to make that throw,

but this is the first down route against. the safety right there. That's where the. ball's got to go. Moses is down. He's. got Demarcus Lawrence's hands down. That's where the throw's got to go. That's on the quarterback. But I thought. Aliver Vera Tucker was a big upgrade at. left guard. Will Campbell is bigger, stronger, and healthier than he was at. any point in the postseason a year ago. He did have two penalties last night, one a push in the back. And so those are. things that, you know, you don't want to. have happen in any game. Put your. offense in that type of scenario. But I.

thought they played much better up front. uh along the front uh with the new guys. at center and at left guard. And that. should bode well going forward for this. uh for this offense, especially when. they get uh you know uh you know some of. the running backs back. Stephvenson back. at at you know that missed last night's. game. That'll be a better one-two punch. >> Nobody talks about the Seattle Seahawks. offensive line. They had the Super Bowl. MVP as a running back. They basically. win the Super Bowl MVP. Uh nobody talks.

about them. Backup quarterback comes in. seemingly goes off pretty smooth. Now. granted, play caller to quarterback. What the chuck is going on? They were. breaking obviously the huddle at 8 n. seconds every single time down the. stretch there. Can't have that take. place, but nobody talks about the. Seattle Seahawks offensive line. Should. we? Feels like it is something that. maybe should be more of a conversation. piece. Baldi, >> well, they return all five starters from. a year ago, including the tight ends. Saw and AJ uh you know, AJ Barner. I. mean, they played great on the edges. last night. great in in run blocking and.

whatever they had to do in in pickup. blocks, but they they protected I. thought Drew Lock very good last night. And uh when you watch them play, they. play so well as a group. And I thought. Brian Flurry did a great job, especially. on that fourth and one play to Jackson. Smith and Jigba. Uh the Patriots did. break down in coverage, but in fourth. and one they get the ball to their best. playmaker of play action. I'm not so. sure that here's a sidearm throw from. Drew Lockach to uh to Jackson Smith and.

Jigb, but he hit the gas pedal to go 45. yards to tie that game up. But I thought. the offensive line played pretty good, especially with the backup quarterback. in there where they didn't get a lot of. time together a year ago and almost no. time together in preeason this year. >> Yeah, I uh I love that Drew Lock was the. guy for the job last night. Feels like. he's made up of the right stuff to hop. in there. Now, Grant, if he throws three. picks, everybody's going to say, "Expected." Drake throwing three picks, everybody's a little bit scared. Week. one, Robbie's going to make some big.

changes. Let's go to tonight's game. Go. ahead, Tone. >> Yeah, Baldi, let's talk about the game. down under. And there's been a lot of. talk about the Rams defensive line. adding Miles Garrett. Obviously, they. add Aaron or bring back Aaron Donald, but he will not go tonight, but there's. a bunch of other studs on that Dline on. on the Niners O line. We know we have. Trent Williams, but what are your. thoughts on the matchup tonight in the. trenches with those two units? No, that's the game within the game tonight. Trent Williams going up against Miles. Garrett. I mean, you've got maybe the. best tackle we've seen in pro football. over the last 15 years, Trent Williams. going up against the defensive player of.

the year. I mean, do you give Trent. Williams any help against Miles Garrett. tonight? >> Um, we'll see what the jet lag factor. does for Miles Garrett. He didn't look. real comfortable coming off the plane, but uh didn't look wide awake, but we'll. see if the adrenaline kicks in. But, you. know, this is a an offense that Kyle. Shanahan knows how to protect certain. players, knows how to, you know, whether. it's slide protection, play action. There's certain things you can do to. slow those kind of guys down. There's. draw plays to McAffrey. There's a lot of. things you could do to slow the rush.

down. But this is a good defensive line. that they have built through the draft, whether it's Kobe Turner, Byron Young, there's so many different players over. the last three years they have drafted. there to go with Miles Garrett right. now. We'll see what what happens when. Aaron Donald comes back probably next. week, but for right now, um, you know, this offensive line should be able to. hold up pretty good and protect Brock. Pury tonight. >> Fisk is another one out of Florida. State. Obviously in the middle, he's a. monster. He can eat. Chuck Pagano was. trying to scream into the microphone. while you're talking about Trent versus. Miles. What would you do?

>> Baldi, wouldn't we put him on the other. side? Put him on McKiv. >> I know. I know they've done it. Like I. think. >> they're going to move they'll move Miles. Garrett around. Yeah, he he plays both. sides and so you'll see him against. McKivots. It's natural for him to be at. the right end spot, but you might see. him over the center just kind of like, >> you know, just back and forth and trying. to get that center to, you know, have a. bad snap to exact. That's the move right. there. Which way is he going? I mean, they used to do that with Jim Schwarz in. Cleveland with Miles Garrett and I just. like thought back to my center days.

going, "This is a nightmare. I got to. snap the ball and block this this. animal, this alien right here. It's not. really fair." But you might see that. tonight. Do you remember the Florida. State kid was doing it and everybody was. attacking him? Mandrel Dir uh he was. doing it in the Florida State game 24-24. in the fourth quarter. He gets blocked. up. They go the other way. See you. Okay. And uh he obviously gets mocked. and ridiculed for it. When Miles did it, you know, Miles was lined up over the. center, causes a pressure, floods. quarterback right into a sack. So, it.

obviously works out. Be who you can. afford to be. If it works out, it works. out. If it doesn't, you're an idiot. But. yeah, Miles and Aaron Donald both doing. this feel like something we're going to. see out of a movie and some center just. like you is going to have to sit there. and figure out check 99. Check na. >> Let's hope that you don't roll the ball. back in shotgun. >> You know, he you hope he's not getting a. bowling ball coming back to him right. there. You hope you at least get the.

snap right. It's got to start with the. snap. >> That'll be a fun thing to watch this. year. how they deploy Miles and Aaron. whenever they're finally on the field. together. Feels like Aaron's back for. next week and Miles Garrett's playing. Obviously can't wait to see him in that. Rams defense. I'm excited that the NFL. has started. Still a lot of things to. chitchat about though. Go ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, speaking of centers, Baldy, um you. know, the a lot of people have are very. high on the Baltimore Ravens going into. this year. New OC, new head coach, but. how much does losing Tyler Linderbomb, how much is that going to affect their.

offensive line? their offensive line as. a whole is much younger this year and. obviously he gets, you know, made the. the highest paid center of all time by. the Las Vegas Raiders. So, what are your. expectations for that unit this year? >> Yeah, if your center isn't great, your. offensive line isn't going to be great. Now, Ethan Poston comes in. He's played. a lot of football here. They fortunately. they signed him, uh, you know, because. he has played good football in. Cleveland, but there's a drop off. Tyler. Linderbomb is a is a pitbull. Go back. and look at that video. get your. producer to pull up that video of him.

taking out Tristan Worse at Iowa because. that's all you do in Iowa is you just. wrestle and you play football and that's. what Lindterbomb is is great at. He's. also excellent in the run game. He. secures things in the passing game. Um. it's something to watch. I do think that. uh Vega Yawani, the new right guard, is. going to make a big difference on that. offensive line. That's a big upgrade. over what they had a year ago. Um, he. was my favorite offensive lineman coming. out of the draft. Ywani, like just watch. that guy. He like, he's only happy when.

he's sitting on top of defensive lineman. after he puts him down to the ground. There'll be a lot of pancakes this. weekend, I think, from Ywani. >> I like a good pancake. Had a waffle last. night, actually. >> Nice. >> Was waffling on the pick, too. >> Yeah. >> And turns out that was the right play. >> Yeah, >> cuz it was a push. So, if you did think. it was both sides could be it, you're. actually super genius. You're seeing it. better than anybody else is seeing it. right now. Speaking of seeing it, feels. like you have a good eye on all the O. lines. Connor has a question for you. >> Yeah, Baldi, going into the weekend,

which unit are you looking for to be. kind of the best one of all the teams? Is there maybe two or three that you. expect great things from all season long. this year? >> I want to see the Eagles against the. Commanders on Sunday afternoon at 4:25. Like, they returned all five starters, but they're healthy this year. Landon. Dickerson wasn't healthy last year from. the very beginning. Lane Johnson missed. the second half of the season. Uh, you. know, with the Liz Frank injury. The the. center is healthy this year. And I want. to see Saquon Barkley eight yards deep, you know, in this offense to see what he.

looks like. Uh, I feel like it's going. to be really good for Saquon. It's going. to be good for this offensive line. I. want to see the amount of money that the. commander spent upgrading the defensive. front. Can the Eagles move that front on. Sunday afternoon? I want to see that. I. want to see the Giants offensive line. Sunday night against a rebuilt Cowboys. defense and defensive front. And I feel. like they're bigger, especially with. Ricard at the fullback, with Marininoa. at the right guard spot. They're bigger.

and stronger than they've been in a long. time. I want to see if the Giants can. control the line of scrimmage Sunday. night against this Cowboys defense. >> Uh tell me a little bit about the. Cowboys. so quiet and that's kind of. been the story and we've all been. mentioning it about how this doesn't. feel like a Dallas Cowboys preseason at. all. Could have had a huge contract. dispute with George Pickkins. We thought. that was kicking off on draft day. whenever he agreed to sign the franchise. tag. All right, he's going to get. traded. All right, he's going to be. pissed. He's going to expect an. extension instead. George Pickkins is. happy as hell. Can't swing a golf club.

>> No, >> but he is happy as hell down there. How's their offensive line? Are we. worrying about the trenches? I know the. defensive side, they reloaded that. entire thing. Are we pumped up about. what the Cowboys could potentially be, Baldi, or are we living in a fantasy. land like we do every single year with. the start? >> It's not fantasy, but you know, I mean, Tyler Smith is their best offensive. lineman or Pro Bowlman. He's their left. guard. He's out. And so, there's a. little bit of a drop off there. Cooper. BB is fine. And, you know, Tyler Booker. is really good at right guard. They're. still going to be good. I don't know.

they're going to be great up front right. now with with Tyler Smith out. Tyler. Gayton has had good days and bad days. So we got to see what he looks like. against those pass rushers of the. Giants, Abdul Carter, Ryan Burns, Kavon. Tibido. We got to see what they look. like at that position because, you know, Dak is under siege. Um, he has been. prone to make some mistakes. But, uh, you know, the defense right now, I. played for the Cowboys for six years. They have a 65 year history, Pat. Uh, in. their 65 year history, no defense had.

ever given up 511 points like they did a. year ago. It was pathetic. They couldn't. play man coverage. They couldn't blow. zone coverage. They couldn't tackle. They couldn't do anything last year. They were the worst in the league. Now. they should be better this year. They've. got better personnel. The coach is a. good teacher. He comes from. Philadelphia. The secondary should be. improved with Caleb DS at safety. Well, we got to see how it all comes together. right now. A lot of new pieces, new. system, new play caller. Um, we got to. see how that comes together against the. Giants Sunday night.

>> You sound like a college football coach. right now saying, "I don't know. I got. 60 new guys. I have no clue what this. team is going to look like and for the. Dallas Cowboys obviously a lot of new. important pieces. It all feels good. though. It all feels good coming out of. Dallas as opposed I mean the Tyler Smith. injury is obviously terrible with the. broken thumb four weeks or whatever it's. going to be but everything else has felt. very positive. Okay, tonight. >> Rams ners in Australia. I think every. player I've ever talked to about this. entire thing love that the Rams are. flying down there only going to be there. for about 30 hours and then they're.

flying back 30 hours home or whatever. the case is. Rams favored by three and a. half down in Australia against the. Niners. How do you see tonight going? What is your uh expectations for. tonight's game? >> You know, look, on paper, the Rams are a. better team, period. Uh I think the fact. that the 49ers went down there, won the. fan base over, it's going to be a home. game for the 49ers, just like it is at. Sofi Stadium when the 49ers come to play. the Raiders. Now, how that affects Matt. Stafford, I don't know. I know this, Pat. I played a game in Japan when I was. with the Eagles one time and I had jet.

lag four days later for that game. Like. it never I never really recovered. I'm. curious what just the general feeling is. going to be like. I know adrenaline. kicks in game day. Uh the ball gets. kicked off. Maybe you don't think about. any of it, but I feel like the 49ers. played this thing the right way. Getting. there quite a few days earlier, adjusting to the the time zone, the time. difference right now. Uh, they should, I. feel, look fresher. Um, I think the. 49ers have a chance to win this game.

outright tonight. >> Okay. I'll tell you, it's hard not to. just be like, is it too obvious that the. Rams. >> Yeah, I disagree, Baldi. >> The Avengers. Yeah, because that's a. 10:30 local game. 10:30 a.m. local game. Very rarely playing that. So, if you. acclimate to the Australian time, you. got an early bird game. And if you're. the Rams, you're just showing up. Ah, time zone, time warp. Where are we? What. are we? We're playing a game. Sweet. Let's get the hell out of here. Shawn. McVey has done very well in. international games. Obviously, this is. vastly different.

>> They tested it. >> You talk about Yeah. And they sent four. players allegedly over the last couple. years over there to kind of explain how. they feel, when they feel. I understand. that the Cronis, Lesne, McVey, are. always going to be wellversed, wellstudied. They're going to have. reasons behind they do it. But honestly, whoever wins this game, we're going to. say it's the right way to do it. And. then there's going to be another game. over there and somebody's going to do. it. They're going to win it. It's going. to counter that. There's always going to. be stats against it. I'm just happy we. got an NFC West clash on the second. night of the NFL season. We appreciate. the hell out of you, Baldi. >> Yeah. Thanks, Pat. Yep. Look forward to.

joining him real soon. >> You're the man, ladies and gentlemen. Brian, >> join us this weekend. >> Yes, sir. >> Hey, Baldi. >> Oh, wait, wait, Baldi. Baldi, uh, we we. did find something for you. Here's. Linder Balm taking Wars to the. >> qualifying for. put that face right in the chest and. takes twisting warfs down like that. Oh, that's beautiful. That's a take down. >> Yes. Yes, it certainly is. Let's not be. holding though. Let's not be holding. like you big fatsos like to do every. single play. You're the man, ladies and.

gentlemen. Brian. >> Baldinger. >> I like that. The wrestling center the. best. >> AQ Shipley. >> Yeah. >> Lost every single match. >> Won his first one. >> Won his first match. This guy's going to. be really good. Gets in there paying. paying. He might be the worst wrestling. offensive lineman that made it to the. NFL, won a Super Bowl in the history. And that's why we're thankful for him. Uh, all right, we're taking a break. We'll be back on the other side. If. you're watching us digitally, you're. about to see the mosquito bowl trailer. that dropped into the world yesterday.

Peter Berg will be joining us later this. hour. And John Schneider. We'll see you. on the other side. Be a friend. Tell. friends something nice. When I was a kid, when I get this feeling, I called it white buzz. and everything will go white.

and I'd start buzzing. I get the same feeling when I started. playing football. That white buzz would come pouring into. my brain like a river of fire. It's like I'm not me in that moment.

It's like my body is invaded by. something. Sounds like a dance. Eight. weeks of training. I don't think we've. had enough time.

And so it begins. right here, right now, today. You are going to win. You'll use your eyes to win.

Your eyes will show you the truth. You'll recognize it whether you like it. or not. >> Without wishing you were seeing. something else. >> The truth on the field is never. something else. You will not look away. You will feel the truth. Together. in your hearts. Your eyes will see clearly.

Your hearts will feel fully. Touchdown. Touchdown. What a catch. Here he goes. Good. for the touchdown. You will play with. your eyes clear and your heart full. If you can do that and then do it again. and again, I assure you, you cannot. lose. >> It's sacred to be a part of this family.

Hello beautiful people and welcome back. to our humble above the draft kings. thunderdome on this down under football. Thursday September 10th 2026 hour two of. the sports program begins now. >> FOOTBALL IS THE GREATEST AND WE ARE so. incredibly lucky that we get a chance to. chat about it. Week two of the college. football season also kicks off this. evening as Miami will host FAMU as over. 50 point favorites. Now, I don't think a.

lot of people might be watching that. game unless the Rams and Niners that. kicks off tonight at about 8:30 gets a. little bit out of control. Nonetheless, Miami's on TV tonight. We got Rams Ner. on TV tonight. Last night, we had the. Super Bowl champs beating the New. England Patriots late on TV. It is. football season and life is wonderful. The toxic table's here at Boston Connor. and at Ty Schmidt. One half of the. hammer dad. >> Cowboys AP Tone is here. A man who has. coached football for 37 years, 19 in the.

pros, 18 in college. Our coach, ladies. and gentlemen, Coach Pag, coach, you look good. >> Thank you. >> Where were you last year? You just kind. of We just missed you last year. Just uh. >> hiatus. Want to go scratch that itch one. more time. >> How'd it go? >> You know what? I got no regrets. It was. great being back part of a team. You. know, when you lose a team, you don't. have that. It's hard to replicate. >> Um, >> wide range, >> but I'm I'm back with the real team. >> Yeah. It's great to have you on our. team, coach. We love having you back in. here. Obviously, your vibes in the.

Thunderdome are immaculate. Joining us. now is a guy who sends the vibes from. Manatakin, Ohio. >> I believe he's going to have a fresh. haircut, right? I think if I'm not. mistaken, he's a college football. national champion, Super Bowl champion, Ryder Cup winner, ladies and gentlemen, AJ Hawk. >> Hawk. >> Wow. >> Yep. All right. >> Wow. >> [ __ ]. >> Tried to call AJ earlier. Couldn't. answer because he was in the middle of a. haircut. Obviously, everybody was super. focused. >> Got to trim the sides up, you know. Got. to trim the sides up. Hey, hell of a. game last night, huh, fellas?

>> It was hell of a game. Hell of a. haircut, too. Yeah, you look unbelievable right now. Let's talk about the game. What is your. takeaway? Drake May, three turnovers, three interceptions in the second half. Fourth quarter, I'm sorry. Fourth. quarter, obviously a big talking point. The last one I think was just ball was. supposed to get out of his hands. He. doesn't. he delays, forces something, ends the game. There's going to be a lot. to coach from, obviously for Drake, but. if you're on the Seattle Seahawks side, you lose your quarterback uh after four. plays, you still get a win at home. What. is your takeaway, AJ, after the uh.

opener for the NFL season in Seattle. last night? >> Yeah, I like how you guys definitely. went over this play and what most likely. did happen here, not all on Drake May. We know that, but I mean, the story for. me is the Seattle defense. These guys. fly around. Like obviously Witherspoon. coming off the edge. We see that Julian. Love with a pick early. Like these guys. can fly. Ernest Jones, I know he had. double- digit tackles. Drake Thomas had. a sack, I believe, and almost double. digits. Like, these guys can run and. they can hit. And seeing old Williams. get that sack early, had to feel good. for everybody there. >> Yeah. And I think the Seattle Seahawks, what we saw in Hard Knocks is.

everybody's all in. So, whenever Sam. Darnold gets hurt that early, it did. feel like nobody blinked. Even Drew. Lock, what a perfect character to have. as your backup quarterback on opening. banner night in Seattle. And Drew Lock, what did you see from him, AJ, that. maybe you learned or kind of reaffirmed. about who he is? Yeah, I mean we all. know the guy can sling it. If you watch. any of his college film, this dude can. sling it. And I I like his moxy. I feel. like he's got like I don't know. His. perspective seems like he's like, "All. right, here we go." Like this is there's. no real panic ever. I feel like in his. uh in his demeanor and obviously great.

play call, fourth and one, whatever it. was, third and two, whatever it was. And. then went to JSN on his touchdown. And. JSN, what does he run a 4-1 now? I. believe it looks like running away from. the whole defense. >> Yeah, it didn't look like he was running. that fast, but then you look at the New. England Patriots kind of just fading. into the background. And it's like, wow, this dude is absolutely move moving. But. I think that is the Jackson Smith and. Jigba kind of charm, right? You don't. know how fast he's going. You have no. idea where he's going. He's untackable. He's always. >> unassuming. Unassuming. That's what they. would say, right? He's unassuming. And. then guys like uh may question it. Then.

all of a sudden, they see him just, you. know, right by him. >> And not a bad person to have on your. offense if your backup quarterback gets. thrusted into opening night. You know, hey, by the way, you got the offensive. player of the year over here who's going. to make you right no matter what. happens. Yak last year for him was. crazy. Yak already starting to be. absurd. And the fact that he scored a. touchdown made us hit our super. >> That's right. It did. >> Shout out. Shout out. Now on the New. England Patriots side before we're. joined by the general manager of the. Seattle Seahawks, which we appreciate. you for obviously connecting us. What'. you see from the Patriots side there? What did you see from Drake May? Are you. as worried as a lot of people.

potentially are? Because I'm. >> I'm telling you, a lot of people are. saying you start looking to snatch Drake. May over the last couple games. It's not. It's worse than CJ Strat. Remember what. was being said about CJ Strad over the. last couple games? It's like things are. Yeah, it's starting to drop here. What. are your thoughts on Drake May? Are you. scared for Drake Maid? Are you scared. for the Patriots? >> No. Before you continue all this line of. question, no, I'm not scared. What did I. say here? What did I say like two days. ago? I can't wait till we go and overact. one way or the other like on week one. football games. We do that in college.

football and we do that in the NFL. Obviously, we know it's a long season. All the cliche garbage. You'd much. rather play better than you did, Drake. you would you don't want to throw three. interceptions, but it's it's a very good. chance. This is the only time all season. he throws three picks in a game. >> Okay, line of questioning, but then you. dropped a very good chance at the end of. it. So maybe the questions were. accurate. And I do think. >> having a lineup against the Seattle. Seahawks defense, everybody's going to. have problems. Uh I think that is the. case. Obviously saw that potentially. with Stafford and Los Angeles Rams, they.

have to see the Seattle Seahawks defense. twice this season. Everybody's going to. have problems potentially with this. Seahawks defense like they did last. year. Joining us now is a man that. pieced it together. When it's all said. and done, he's going to have to be. chatted about as one of the greatest. general managers to ever. build a team, two teams in the NFL. We. got a chance to hang around him. Hilarious individual, >> man. >> Hard knocks. We see he's an incredible. leader of a franchise and obviously the. proof is in the pudding. They're a damn. good football team even if they lose.

their franchise quarterback just four. plays in. Ladies and gentlemen, joining. us now bright and early, good morning, sunshine, general manager of the Seattle. Seahawks, John Schneider. >> How you doing, brother? >> Yeah, a little early, fellas. Huh? I. don't know what you guys did after uh. big opening day wins, but I did stay up. and have a couple Teddy Bruskies last. night. >> I like you had a little red, white, and. br you guys are calling me at 7 o'clock. in the morning. Like, is AJ okay? I'm. worried about AJ now. Like, something.

happened to my buddy. Well, I want to. let you know the NFC team of mine is the. Seattle Seahawks after Hard Knock. So, I. did celebrate your win last night. Not. as many Teddy Bruskies as I assume the. Seattle Seahawks organization had. Thank. you for answering this morning. Thank. you for joining us. Obviously, first. things first. Congrats on the win. Quarterback, it looked bad. Obviously, he's limping. She's reported that he got. an MRI earlier today. What is kind of. your stance on it? And we know you might. not have the answer right now. We're not. expecting that. Nobody is. But just kind. of how do you feel about what happened. to Sam Darnold last night and what are.

your guys expectations around the. building as we see it right now? >> Yeah, pretty scary obviously, right? When when uh when players have to leave. the facility, they have to leave the. stadium, go to the hospital. So. obviously we're really concerned uh. probably all the way through. I'd say about middle of the third. quarter, maybe the end of the end of the. third quarter, we just we got the news. that um you know you avoided you know a. fracture in there in the hip. So. obviously a sense of relief there. Uh.

and you guys know Sam's tough as nails, but uh timeline we just don't know yet. I mean he's still, you know, we haven't. even seen him yet this morning. Um I. think he was just, you know, just got a. hospital a couple hours ago. So um but. but obviously, you know, much better. news than we had anticipated um early. early in the game. Pretty rough. situation there. >> Yeah, definitely a rough situation. Now, tell me about Drew Luck because we talk. about you having to build up multiple. Super Bowl winners, being going down as. one of the greatest GMs of all time, and.

you're you're not saying that. That's us. saying that, but having a backup. quarterback that is certainly able to. step up in that moment, uh, is a huge. deal. Can you tell me about the. importance of Drew Lock and why you. think it worked for him last night? >> Drew is just the ultimate team guy. He's. one of those amazing, you know, quarterbacks that's just like Sam's just. a real dude. Like no drama and, you. know, like the team, his teammates love. him and, you know, they respond to him. Obviously, the arm talent, uh, his. leadership skills, his intelligence,

um, yeah, the guys love him. I mean, there was a reason he was part of the. Russell Wilson trade initially, and. then, uh, he had to try to, you know, went and did his own thing there with. the Giants. We were, we were lucky to. have him back in our building after that. one year with the Giants. and uh just so. happy for him. I mean, he's been through. a lot. Uh lost his father last year. Uh. you know, went through a really tough. time, but every just responds to him, you know, and u it took a minute as you. guys all know. I mean, preeason that you. know, the the starters aren't going.

like, you know, you have that that sense. of what are we like what's our identity? And then Sam goes down. So, you're going. to have like, you know, we had like, you. know, six or seven pre- snap penalties, pretty sloppy, you know, with um some of. the offensive process, but the guys just. responded and he settled in and ended up. doing a great job. And we're poor Brian. Flurry, like his first game calling. plays and, you know, he was our starter. in the, you know, first series, but I. mean, everybody just rally around Drew.

and defense played great. So, just so. happy for him. He's a great guy. Tell me. about Brian Flurry a little bit because. we saw obviously the delay of game there. on the uh second and one I believe where. but the plays leading up to that they're. potentially getting out of the huddle a. little bit late. Can you tell me about. Brian Flurry and you just alluded to it. there first time calling plays your. starting quarterback goes down four. plays in. He has to adjust a lot. What. did you learn from him uh last night and. what do you kind of expect out of him. the rest of the way?

>> Yeah, just very calm, very patient, real. intelligent. uh impeccable communicator. You know, he's just he's just a quiet, steady steady. He kind of has that. personality like a. shoot like a Dick Giron or um you know, some of the even like those really even. keeled Lovey Smith just like those. really even keeled individuals, you. know, and he's got that and you know the. football intelligence both sides of the. ball he's worked on. He's worked in, you. know, kind of like an analytics world. there for a minute with Adam Gase down. in Miami. He's just got a He's got a.

really cool well-rounded. uh game to him. >> Great beard, too. I mean, great beard. He needs to get that damn play call in a. little bit earlier, though. >> Phenomenal. Yeah. >> Yeah, he does have a phenomenal beard. But it was fun to watch him. And, you. know, I like the they that land they. leaned on JSN. Obviously, you got a guy. in JSM, but not just JSN. There's a. rookie that was getting the ball early. as well that you drafted. Go ahead, Tone. >> Yeah, John, how did you feel about your. first round draft pick in Jadarian. Price? Obviously, he got the first uh. carry of the game last night. It was a.

great carry. He looked explosive. He. looked good. What was your thoughts on. your first round draft pick in his first. action in a real NFL game last night? >> Yeah, you know, real real decisive, you. know, the acceleration. Uh you saw you saw that like put put his. foot in the ground wide like all the. wide zone stuff like the the cup back. ability. Um yeah, really really pleased. and excited for him. And you know, we we. decided not to play him in the. preseason, so it was pretty cool to be. able to see, you know, opening day. I. mean, I'm I'm sure I don't know if you.

guys could tell on TV, but that place. was rocking and we got the ball first. and he got the ball and here we go. And, you know, he ripped off a I think it was. like 12 or 13 yard run to start it. So, uh yeah, >> pretty cool. >> Yeah, I think Mike Trico said uh very. rare that a backup running back from. college ends up the first play runner of. the NFL season as a whole. He looked. comfortable. He looked natural. And I. like that you guys uh going to pound the. rock with him. How about that Notre Dame. backfield last year? just kind of get into it right now.

Absolutely absurd. Feels like Marcus. Freeman might be able to have a. quarterback or two. You guys now are. obviously in a big spotlight and uh I. became a fan. AJ has a question for you. >> Yeah, John. Obviously Pat's mentioned. that you guys' hard knocks uh this uh. this uh training camp. It's been awesome. to watch. I don't think anyone has. gained any more popularity than you guys. if you actually watch the Hard Knocks. I. guess how has that process been like? Are you on your your walking standing. desk walking treadmill right now? And. have you been watching the episodes and. kind of checking in as we know with all. of us?

>> Yeah, I really appreciate you guys, you. know, like showing the Wisconsin Boiler. Maker there on on your show. And then. Hard Knocks like uh. my wife Tracy, who AJ knows, is like, "Really, dude? You're wearing a white. t-shirt like on Hard Knocks?" Like, yes. Like anyway, you don't know. Like it it. was it was it was cool. We really wanted. it to be like a once you bite into it, it's like let's let's let it rip and. like be ourselves and let people. understand what our culture is all about.

here and let it be kind of like an. infomercial. And I think they just they. did a great job. I think it it looks. like a place where players want to play, coaches want to coach. Uh we're going to. take care of you and we're going to do. everything we can to help you and and u. advance your career and we're still. going to do it like in a connected. manner. And I just I thought they I. thought they did it. You know, we had to. edit some stuff. It was. that helps when you can watch it, you. know, you can you can edit some stuff. out. >> What kind of stuff? Like what kind of. stuff? >> Strategic stuff. >> Yeah. Well, I'll tell you exactly what.

we edited. >> Hey, can you show us what they. >> Yeah. >> You know, it was I just thought it was I. thought it was a cool experience, especially seeing like, you know, being. able to show like the. And AJ knows this. I mean, I I lived. here in 2000 with coach I worked here. with coach Hungry and Ted Thompson and. those guys and when this job opened up, I I was really excited about it just. because it's kind of like that underdog. city and it's so beautiful and like you. know the grunge, the music scene and I.

thought they worked all that stuff in. the water, the mountains, all that kind. of stuff. It was just I thought it was. really cool and then you know we have. this new ownership group and they're. watching this like dang it's pretty. cool. we just bought this team is like. looks like a pretty cool culture and I. thought it I thought it I thought it. came through and I thought it was. awesome for everybody to see Mike too. because he's he's kind of under under. the radar guy. He's not like your you. know coaching clinic dude that's out. there at every every instance he can. like making people think he's all sweet.

and all that. And I just thought it was. pretty cool for everybody to see him. The person, the leader, the. intelligence, the communicator. Yeah, pretty cool. was just blessed to have. him as a partner. >> Yeah. So, let's talk about your partner. there in McDonald. And I became a fan of. the Seattle Seahawks. They are You guys. are officially my NFC team because of. your performance at the league meetings, but also because everything that I saw. at Hard Knocks, your performance was. top-notch. You need to know you. You won. me over immediately. And I think if. other people saw the same thing, they. would they would say the same. But.

listening to McDonald, the way he. coaches and the way he talks to the guys. and the way the guys respond to him, has. it been like that since Jump? What have. you noticed about Coach McDonald? maybe. over your three-year run here together. >> Yeah, just the the authenticity. And you. know, I think you guys can see now why, you know, our first sit down was like a. three-hour sitdown interview and it felt. like 20 minutes because it's there's an. authenticity, there's an intelligence, there's a clarity, there's a there's a. humbleness, there's like that uh he. gives you that like presence of I I.

totally I got you. Like I'm one of you. Like we're all together in this. I'm one. of you. Like we're all we're all doing. this together. we're all going to like. we're all going to walk down the hill. together. We're not just going to run. down there, you know? And and uh yeah, he he he's he's steady. He's like that. He's got he's got a really cool mix of. like Coach Homegrren and and you know, Pete Carol like that positiveness. Um. little edgy. He's got some Mike McCarthy. like edgginess to him and yeah, it's a. it's a really cool combination.

>> Yeah, >> he's been fun to watch learn. No, no, I. didn't want to stop you if you were. going to say more, but but Hard Knocks, us getting to watch him work was like. one of the best parts of all Hard. Obviously, the views were incredible, but watching him work and what he pulls. from and how he delivers and how the. guys respond, especially with the guys. that you have because we were talking. off air about this, it's like you could. tell that you have dogs in that. building. Okay, so now wrangling dogs. and having them all go in the same. direction just like Caesar with a it's. not easy whenever you have a lot of.

hard-headed folks. And hard-headed folks. are normally cast aside and said it's a. bad thing. It's like, but if you get. hard-headed folks all rowing in the same. direction, now you have like an. unstoppable force. Can you tell me about. how you identify dogs in bringing into. your roster and into your culture? Cuz. it does seem very obvious at this point, but creating that is obviously not an. easy thing to do. Everybody would do. that. What are the types of players you. think that fit into your team? And why. do you think those are the types of. players that fit into your team? Well, I say getting back to Mike, I.

think, you know, to to to uh finish that. thought, it's it's very hard to to come. in and replace an iconic guy like Pete. Like Coach Carol's like, you know, you. guys know this, it's it's it's a really. he's a very strong presence. And uh we. did a lot of awesome stuff here. together. And. for him to come in now, it really feels. like for Mike to come in, it really. feels like, okay, these are his guys. This is his team. And that takes a. minute, you know, and and uh you know,

his first season he did an awesome job, the 10 wins and then but understanding. like, hey, I want to make this a more. connected team. I want to, you know, that his his uh his self scouting was. like impeccable and what he wanted, the. clarity of it, and he worked hard at it. And so bringing the guys together. The. second part of that with what we're. looking for, we've always had, excuse me, we've always had our grit. scale. We've always had our competitor. scale. Um, what have you been through?

What have you overcome? Are you good. teammate? Do you love ball? Um, do you. want to be great? You want to just be a. guy and like get through and get your. next contract or you want to be you want. to be like you said like you want to be. a dog and you want to like have that. selfless attitude that we all grew up. playing the game loving like ultimate. team sport and I got your back. If you. don't have that and it's easier to. identify now with the NIL stuff then. we're kind of like thanks for coming and. somebody else can have them.

>> Interesting. Easier to tell now with NIL. because you can tell who can handle. money, who can handle almost fame. I. didn't think about that being a ripple. effect of this whole for you though. You. can see that. >> Yeah. At first I was, you know, concerned about it, but then now it's. like, okay, well, we know how this guy. handles, you know, the $200,000 a year. or shoot $5 million a year now, right? I. mean, we can we can see like how. important it is to the guys and and we. used to worry about players coming in. and how they're going to handle money.

and now we we know like how okay, we. could take care of them in this manner. or, you know, they need help over here, but they're going to be able to handle. their finances, how they handle their, you know, u family, their extended. family, their friends. They're like, who. do they have? You know, we're just it's. easier to identify now. and and what. kind of like how do how do the people. like our our foundational people in this. building how can we help those guys? So. that's really that's really you know how. we can identify those guys and the power.

of like okay once you come in here we. got you. Yeah, we saw that unfold on. Hard Knocks whenever uh Terry. >> Arnold or Terry Arnold Teron Arnold out. of Detroit and then his agent Nicole I. believe was talking to you on speaker. phone saying uh you know we want to. develop this guy as a person as a person. and you're like we got you like that was. literally I I think one of the the. messages that went across and people. talk about you know is that going to be. worth it is not going to be worth it. what's the punishment going to be how's.

this going to unfold I just thought that. there was like a natural understanding. that if you end up in your building and. your guys' building up there in Seattle. It's like, yeah, we're going to develop. human. We're going to develop player. We're going to develop culture. I think. it's a beautiful thing in a world that's. trying to win right now all the time. So, I don't know how you guys hang on to. that, especially after winning a Super. Bowl, but it seems like you've knocked. it out. Now, there are some injuries in. a very important part of an NFL team. Chuck Pagano has a question for you, John. >> Hey, John. Congratul. man. >> That's so cool.

>> I thought last time we were together we. were drinking red wine at one of the. owner meetings. You remember that around. the table. Had a blast with you and your. wife. But uh yeah, you were on the. Bruskies. Get back on that red. Anyway, um. >> yeah, right. Red is like three days, isn't it? Red's a little bit harder on. the the next day, isn't it? >> After a win like that, congratulations. Overcame a lot of uh adversity early in. that game. Uh you were light in the sec. uh secondary uh last night. Any updates. uh on the guys that were missing in the.

back end, especially Nick? >> Yeah, Nick is uh you know, he's been. he's he's is you know, limited. practicing limited. We're kind of. bringing him along. Obviously, Tai, you. know, we lost Taiwata to Hamstring. Um. you know, we have this we have this. window now. Uh I believe it's 12 12. days, which is great. It was really. weird, coach. The uh you know, playing. on the Wednesday, our schedule was so. off. I was like all last weekend the. college games were on and we were in.

here studying and you know, working on. practice squad guys and getting the team. ready and all that for the game and we. were just totally off with our schedule. So, it's just wild how how uh you know, we kind of got through that that that. schedule. It it was weird. I don't know. if you start started on a Thursday night. or not, but the Wednesday was just. crazy. But um so just kind of like okay. how we got to get those guys ready and. who are we missing and then the roster. mechanics of you know elevating guys for. the game while you're trying not to lose. guys you know on the waiver wire and all. that. So but I'll say this Nemiah.

Pritchette played amazing last night. Best game of his career so far. And then. Rodney Thomas did a great job stepping. in. Uh yeah, just I his coaches do such. a great job of of preparing these guys. and developing and and uh just really. proud of like those two guys in. particular. Um defense played great as. you know uh but those two guys in. particular just did a great job. >> Bridget huge pick. I mean that ball bat. in the air tip drill happens steals that. thing from Dobs. Now Drake May did throw.

into a defensive meeting room here in. the first one and the second uh. interception. I think that's a credit to. the defense obviously distracting having. Drake see some ghosts and put him into. some bad situations and the game-winning. pick taking place. Such a good like. identifier of the identity of the. Seahawks. It's like, hey, our defense is. going to be a problem. That's just how. it's going to be. Has been since the. beginning of your stay up there in. Seattle. Now it's finding a new way. Now. the NFC West obviously packed and. stacked with a lot of great teams, a lot. of great players. We heard you talk. about uh you know Lesnie coming on the.

show and telling me to text Aaron Don or. DM Aaron Donn and tell him how good of. an idea it is. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, that was great. >> That obviously kicks off the night even. though Aaron Donald's not going to be on. the field. Connor has a question for. you. >> Yeah, John, as a Patriots fan, thanks a. lot for ruining the season opener for. me, [ __ ] Great win by you guys, Brick. Um, but with that being said, tonight kind of a different start to the. season as well over in Australia for. division rivals the NerS and the Rams.

When you're watching tonight, if you. are, what are you looking for. specifically? Is it something where it's. like, "Hey, they're really good in this. spot. Maybe we're looking to add for the. weeks that we're playing against them. here or here." Like, what is kind of. your two cents? Are you talking to Mike. McDonald throughout the night as you're. hammering beers and he's hammering. water? What is kind of the situation. there? >> Hey, slow down, Sheriff. You guys need. to chill on that. He EJ has a couple. beers, too. Now, I mean, >> okay, that makes sense cuz he does seem. like a little bit of a serial killer,

but he also knows B. So, I like to hear. that a little bit. >> He's got he's got a little bit of that, too. You're right. Uh, actually, actually, actually, no, we're uh uh this. evening we're we're kind of getting to. know this new get to know this new. ownership group. So, we'll be watching. the game with they have a tent set up. out here uh this evening. Uh so we're. going to have the game on and um you. know the the Coastal family we're going. to you know get to know them a little. bit and uh and then the all the um. limited partners that are have joined as. well too because this is a this is a big.

change for us. You know we've been. working directly with the Allen family. and with Paul and then obviously with. Paul's passing Jody um and now it's you. know a family coming in really cool. It's been a great start. Uh, so we'll be. watching the game while we're getting. introduced to a whole new group of U. >> God, thank God you guys won last night, bro. >> Jeez Louise, what a win last night. What. have you done for me lately? We won. Okay, let's remember that. You also huge.

part of that sale. I I genuinely, and I. know that you don't get a percentage of. the sale or anything like that, but. buying a team that has one of the. greatest GMs to ever exist there and. also maybe the next great coach of all. time, they are very lucky and fortunate. that you're in that building. And. obviously, once again, this is me saying. it, not you, but I assume they will be. telling you that tonight. And thank God. you won last night or this dinner would. be a little bit different seemingly. New. ownership, completely defeated. Great. We go from winning the Super Bowl. Now,

this crew uh can't win a damn game on. Thursday night. So, I'm happy that that. happened for you last night and I'm. happy that that's going to happen for. you tonight. AJ has the final question. for you here, John, as we look ahead. >> John, earlier you were uh mentioning how. you evaluate players. You said the your. grit scale is always the same. Could you. explain exactly what that is and how you. grade grit? >> I like that. >> Yeah, a sense of it's a it's basically a. sense of uh adversity. what what have. guys uh had to overcome in their lives. on the field, off the field, whether.

it's like. coming back from major injury, uh you. know, losing a loved one. Uh. what what kind of resilience have you. have have you shown? What kind of. examples can you give us of. uh the levels of u intensity and like. mental hardware it's going to take to be. able to get through all these difficult. times that we're going to go through. whether it's a you know two game losing. streak a six game losing streak or you. know another injury setback in your.

career. Uh. so that's really. you know we we it was really a uh Pete. and I started it right uh when we got. here. Um and then they had a what they. call like a competitor scale at USC. So. we kind of incorporated those those two. things. They're separate grades. Um much. like we had a we had a medical grade. when guys were coming out uh that was. like pure um like our orthopod grade, right? Or internist grade, but you know. 80% the orthopod grade. And then, you.

know, we had a couple guys that had. started we drafted that started games, you know, all four years in college and. then came in and and uh started missing. time. And so we're like, okay, let's. what's our durability grade? So, we'll. have a med medical grade and a. durability grade now. It's kind of like. projecting. uh you know, like like all the. functional movement stuff, AJ, and um. all the sports science stuff now that. goes into this, all the GPS stuff. And. that's the the grit scale for us was. like really the the Earl Thomas' and the.

Doug Baldwins and the Richard Sherman's. and Cam and like that group of uh shoot. um Marawn I mean a bunch of really like. Michael B there's group of guys but but. really but really yeah Bobby Wagner like. there's a whole group of Ross I mean. there's a whole group of guys that we. were able to say like right when we got. here like, "Okay, if you fit these. characteristics, we we want to work with.

you and we we feel like we can uh help. develop you.". >> How about MCDC, I think, told a story. about putting a cigarette out on Tony. Romo? >> Yeah. On it when he was a rookie. >> Does that go into the grit scale or. >> I haven't heard that. Sorry. >> Oh, yeah. >> So, if Tony Romo came up to you and. said, "Hey, listen. I had a cigarette. put out right here on my arm and I just. kept on going." Does that up the grip. points? Do we get more a little bit more. grip? >> Yeah, I like that. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah, of course. Yeah, because it's. public shaming that could potentially be. happening while you're getting the. cigarette put on you. That's a whole. another mental object. We have to do it.

Okay, John, we appreciate you joining. us. Obviously, fresh off a dub. If you. want to break any news about Sam Darn. right now, we'll certainly let you do. that. >> No, >> you're the man, ladies and gentlemen. John Schneider. >> FaceTimed him. 7:10 a.m. Just got his. phone number. AJ sends me his phone. number. He responds. FaceTime. We're doing this right now. >> Okay. Hold on. He's still on. You You. said he's still on. What's up, John? >> Where are you going this weekend? Where.

you going this weekend? >> Austin. Austin, Texas. You gonna be down. there? >> Oh, sweet. No, I will not be down there. That'd be awesome game though. I was. supposed to go, but whole new ownership. thing and so figuring that out. >> Who's going to win? Who you think's. going to win, John? >> Some hands. >> I can't do that, brother. Come on. >> Yeah, >> you could. >> How about tonight's game? Who's going to. win tonight's game? >> Yeah. Who's win tonight? Yeah, ladies and gentlemen, Josh, >> new ownership saying, "Let's get to know. each other. Put a tent up here. Go big.

screen." Could you imagine they lose. that game last night? >> I mean, just the curse in general. The. fans would be talking about they sell. the team and our starting quarterback. gets hurt on the first drive. Yeah. They'd just be talking about that, too. Probably a lot of hate going towards the. ownership, but they didn't. >> What are we, the New York Jets? No, they. didn't actually. They got three picks in. the fourth quarter and actually end up. winning that game. McDonald, John. Schneider in a good spot over there. Ladies and gentlemen, it's 1:35. >> Okay. >> Okay. You know what that means? >> It is Thursday.

>> Okay. >> We have Coach Pagano in here. >> Mhm. >> Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for. Coach P to tell us who's going to win. this damn game. Now, Chuck has dialed up. all the numbers that you could literally. all of the numbers you could potentially. have for tonight's matchup, and he's. going to dive in and tell us. Remember, Chuck Pagano normally pretty damn good. at picking what's going to happen at. night. Now, if he starts to waffle, what. happens, AJ, if he waffles?

>> Uh, what does happen? I don't know. >> He gets his ass ate out. >> Yep. >> Oh, my bad. I didn't know. I wasn't. tying this together. Chew out. It's. true. Tina, >> no. She eats you up. She eats you up out. there, Miss Tina. We hope you're great, Chuck. As you see it, how does the night. go, pal? >> Well, are we going to put the graphic up. that you want to see all these numbers? You keep me. There we go. >> All right. So, Jesus, great math. So, these numbers matter. >> They do, especially for responsible.

gamblers, >> as you guys like to say, right? >> So, when you look at, you know, the tail. of the tape, we know how uh how strong. this this division is. is the NFC West. Um, these two teams, they split last. year. That's good good to know. San Fran. went down to LA and won the first one. and then and then LA beat them the the. second game. Um, total offense, we all. know the Rams are just stacked. They're. loaded. They got all five offensive. linemen back. The wide receiver, they. got Puka, they got Devonte. Um, the two.

tight ends, Parkinson, Higgby, absolute. studs. Kyron Williams and and Cororm, they can run the damn total offense who. were first last year. These are all 2025. numbers. All right, total defense, it's. it's basically a wash. Um, we know that. the defensive coordinator from Sam San. Fran got the head job now. Salah is over. in Tennessee now. And Raheem Morris, who. worked for McVey for a couple years. there in LA, is now running the show uh. in San France. So, we'll talk about that.

later on when we talk about key. matchups. So, that's that's kind of a. wash. points per game. LA first points. allowed. All right, it's a wash. Third. down offense. This was you. If you. didn't know this, you'd think, okay, total offense, Rams, right? Number one. in the league. Points scored, number one. in the league. Third down, they got to. be good, right? >> You would think. >> 17th. >> Whoa. >> Crazy. But conversely, they were really. good. All right. In the red area. Turnover margin, they were fifth. huge.

advantage there in the red zone as far. as the red zone defense goes. Turnover. margin was was huge. Only six. interceptions last year. We talk about. the Jets, right? Had zero. >> Yeah. >> In a 17 game. That That's like absurd. That that like will never happen ever. again. I won't be around. I'll be dead. six feet under. Maybe if it does, but. that probably. >> Yeah, but they've tried to kill you. They only remember you're you're tough. to kill, bro. They've been trying to get. you for a while. I I think you might.

live forever, dude. It's true. >> I I feel it. >> They've been trying to get you for a. while, haven't they? >> Long time. >> Yeah, they have, actually. >> A lot of different deals. >> Yeah. Bag you. >> They're just throwing that [ __ ] at you. and you just keep You just keep slicking. that hair straight back. >> Open heart. >> That's what I'm saying. They've been. trying. >> You got no shot. >> Not. >> You got no shot. >> The Reapers got no chance, but nothing else. You know what I mean? >> Yeah. CT definitely because we know how. you used to play. So turnover margin, they were really good. The Rams were.

Sack rate, guess how many sacks 49ers. generated last year. >> Oh my god, I remember Bosa was hurting. and not playing good. I didn't know they. were worse than the. >> 2020 20. >> for an entire season. Terrible. >> And we'll talk we'll talk a little bit. more about how they're going to try to. generate some tonight, some pressure on. on Stafford and this offense. I don't. see it. Um anyway, explosives just like. you figure the Rams were second. Um, special teams guy that coached for us, coached for me in Indie. Brent Boyer is.

the special teams coach there. He came. on board a couple years ago. He took. them from two years ago. They were dead. last in EPA. That's expected uh points. added. >> Mhm. >> Per drive. Um, second last year. So, they were really, really good on special. teams. Conversely, the Rams, they were. 32nd. They had to let their special. teams uh coach go. Yeah. Um, so they. brought in a guy, Bubba Ventron. We all. know Bubba Ventron, right? Bubba's with. the Rams. >> Bubba's with the Rams now. So, you're.

going to see a significant uptick in. special teams there. Bubba's a highly. respected special teams guy, uh, in the. National Football League. I think he was. with the Browns the last couple years. So, uh, they'll be they'll be improved. there. But, uh, those are the numbers. there. When we look at the key matchups, guys, when you look at this offensive. line again for the uh for the 49ers. versus this defensive line, it was a. huge advantage at Aaron Donald like when. he signed back with these guys and then. getting Miles Garrett into that group. and they already had a bunch of dogs.

over there with Fisk and company. Um, you know, he's not playing. I still give. a slight edge to this defensive line for. the Rams in this matchup. All there's. 80% of the offensive line is back for. the 49ers. They got one new starter, a. rookie, uh, left guard. All right. So, uh, give the slight edge to, uh, to the. Rams there. >> Okay. So, Rams got a 10 here. There's. six of them here. 10 at the Rams. >> Top right. CMC. All right. We know he's. a great player, right? Handing the ball.

out of the back field. You can line him. up anywhere on the offense. The rush. defense. How about this guys, Pat? You. know what he averaged per carry on 34. rushes in two games last year versus. this defense? How much? >> 2.6 per carry. >> Oh jeez. >> So they did a hell of a job. >> of coring this guy and containing this. guy when it came to the run. Now he had. 16 receptions forund and some yards. One. one tutty in those two games. So more of. a threat all right in the pass game than.

the run game. I give the edge to the. Rams ON THIS AS WELL. >> THEY DID. >> Uh the receiving core all new. You know, you got Mike Evans that come over for. the for the Niners. They got Debo Samuel. back. They got some other dudes this. secondary though. Their Achilles Hill, I. think Ty, you talked about it the other. day. Two corners they had, you know, they were bad on pass defense. And the. reason why is they weren't very good at. the corners. Their safeties are really. good. Cam Curl and this Kinchin. Kinchin's guy. So, they go out and get. McDuffy who's regarded as one of the top.

corners, just paid him as one of the top. corners in the National Football League. and Jaylen Watson. If you remember back. way back when when we started doing. Coach P's keys, remember the first guy. we highlighted was number 35. >> for the Kansas City Chiefs and he ends. up getting a pick six pick six in that. game. Yeah, >> there he is. Number 35. He's still. around. So yeah, this this secondary is. is really really good. Lake is their. Nickelback. Quinton Lake. All right. He'll be their Nickelback. I think.

McDuffy will play most of the time on. the outside. Um, will they follow guys? I I don't think they need to follow in. in this case. So, I I give this uh I. give this edge to the SECONDARY FOR THE. >> WOW. >> THROW IN THE TOWEL. >> HEY, YOU HEAR THIS? IT'S A THREE. All. right. We talked about Raheem. Let me. see who he picks to win. >> You know, going back, you know, had. coach for McVey, you'd say, "Shit." All. right. Raheem Morrison is in DC. He's. worked in that building. He knows. everything about Shawn McVey. He knows. everything about Matthew Stafford. He.

knows what makes these guys tick. He. knows the hand signals. He this should. be an absolute winner, right? >> Well, last time I checked, McVey's got a. pretty big brain as well, right? >> So, he knows every one of the tendencies. of of of Raheem Moore. So, Raheem will. do a great job up there. He's an. excellent football coach. >> This McVey is is like one of one when it. comes to that. Everybody's trying to. hire the next Shawn McVey. He's got an. offensive coordinator there. Now, Sheil. H. Yeah, she'll. he'll be the next head coach after these.

guys lead the league again and win the. Super Bowl this year. All right. In Los. Angeles, he'll be Super Bowl. >> Okay. So, what's happening here? >> I think this is Wash. >> Wash. They know they know so much about. so much about each other. All right. >> Yeah. AJ says that's. >> You got to pick a side. >> I'll give a SLIGHT EDGE TO MCVEY. >> OH, JEEZ. These are the KEY MATCHES. IT'S FOUR. >> LET'S GO TO TRAVEL. >> Calm down. Okay, >> let's go to travel. >> Let's do it. >> Okay, one week versus one day.

>> The stats speak for themselves, right? >> Okay. >> Like we talked about in here at. Nauseium, you talked about as a player. Hey, >> guys love routine. Guys love normaly. Guys like getting up and going to bed in. their own bed, the same bed, right? Not. a hotel bed, right? >> Don't do it, Chuck. >> I know. >> You know what I mean? >> Yeah. Yeah. I do know what you're. saying. going to the same office, same. treatment, the meeting room, the facil, they love routine, right? >> So, McVey last year we played the Rams,

they beat us in Baltimore. All right. And then they had to go to London next. week. Did they fly back home? No, sir. What they did, they stayed in Baltimore. They practiced all week at Camden Yards. All right. In the outfield there and. then they flew over 24 hours before. kickoff just like they did for this for. this game. And they beat they beat the. living shite. and out of the. Jacksonville Jaguars. I think it was 30. 377 something egregious. >> So Shawn McVey Shanahan's 0 and0. He's.

never coached a game international. >> Oh, >> so he's 0 and0. So this is his first. experience. >> Undefeated. >> Okay. So we know they're all making. good. I mean, world peace. They're I. mean they're shaking hands and kissing. babies over there doing a hell OF A JOB. >> THEY'RE GOING THE GAME WATCHING. >> WELL, I I GOT A FUNNY FEELING. I know. which way this one's going, too. >> Crips. >> You never know. >> You never know. Okay. Hold on. So McVey, he's 3 and 0. >> Uhhuh. >> And the point differential. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> is plus 75 for McVey in his Los Angeles. 92 to 17.

>> They say it ain't so hot. >> Sick. >> So. >> sick. >> So. >> now keep in mind, keep in mind the caveat is this. London trip 7 hours. Australia 17 plus. 10. So who knows? >> 27. So this is a toss 27. >> But they've done their research. They. got big brains in there, right? Sneeed. McFad and company. So I'm going uh yeah, the one day I'm going WITH THE RAMS. >> OH MY GOD. >> YOU got an Hey, con man. You got an. unknown. And Shannon Shannon.

>> WITH YOU, BUT IT'S FIVE FREAKING. NOTHING. THESE ARE KEY. >> YEAH, IT feels like you kind of are. setting this up to PAINT ONE PARTICULAR. STORY. >> YEAH. >> I assume Niners fans are saying, can we. get some different matchups and maybe. this one though? Maybe a couple. >> special teams is easy, right? >> We got Might Pagano going on. I think. the Rams, the edge in the special teams. goes to the 49ers. They finished second. last, you know, last year and expected. points. Uh. >> oh, great. >> Added. So, I give the special teams to. to Boyet and that group. Bubba Vent is.

going to make a huge difference there. Okay. >> He's going to make a huge difference, but it's going to take a minute. >> Okay. So, it's 5-1 key matchups. Los. Angeles Rams. Then we look like a. charity. Felt like a charity won in that. last one, too. >> Here's how we find it. Dan, I know who. Ber is, by the way. Got peer pressure in. here, AJ. Peer pressure. >> I get it, Chuck. [ __ ] con man up my. ass. >> Then he said, >> "I would never be up your ass, pal.". >> Yeah, man. He certainly tries sometimes. >> Make you get him. >> And then you look at the tail of tape, it's just green on the right side. >> Dane, that's a key matchup basically.

Chuck, who are you picking to win. tonight? With all that being said, >> even red zone offense, he doesn't even. have the green on the San Fran side. He. just wants it to be less green on their. side. >> Well, that's awesome. That does seem. like that is maybe a mistake that was. made there. No winners there. You could. kind of call it a tossup is what he's. saying. So with all that being said, we. got what 12 stats here. We had six key. matchups. Uh the Rams have been in a. landslide dominant position for all your. graphics thus far. Do you pick them to.

win tonight by at least three and a. half? Sir, >> I know this will shock you and our. viewers. >> Mhm. >> I'm going with the Rams. They're going. to they're going to beat the 49ers in. Australia down under. Get their ass back. home. Have a mini buy. All right. 28-20. Rams. >> 28-20 Rams. >> All right. Four TUDs. >> Okay. I like that there's a lot of. points being scored here for the. Australians. Come watch our sport. Do. you think it's KG affair early like last. night? Super KY last night, but. obviously incredible defense. >> No, there's going to be a filling out. There's going to be a bunch of sparring.

early in this one. But to play, don't. care who makes it. >> That's right. >> It's true. Hey, 6 seconds all you got. for as many as we need. >> Don't look up. >> Hey, and this homefield advantage deal. that they're talking about. >> That's a big deal. >> Those guys, do they actually know? >> You can't build up that much. >> What's going on? Are they just going to. sit there like some of these ah and just. scream for. >> We know some of these what? What were. you saying? Some of these foreigners? Is. that what you were going to say? >> These Aussies, do they know about. American? I mean, everybody Hey, the. whole. >> If we know how the Aussies operate,

they've been up for 28 hours and they're. just going to go through the night. They. can punt a football con, man. >> Yes, they can. They can. >> They know about punting. >> They know how to catch. I respect that. >> In rugby, they know how to run over. people. >> That's right. >> Same foot, same shoulder, >> drink. Let's go. >> I think they're going to like I think. they're going to like our sport. I think. Australia will really like our sport. Obviously, Australians have done great. things for our sport in the kicking. department and offensive line, I think, over there for Philadelphia. But I think. when they see our sport, I think they. are going to fall in love with it more.

So, I do think the goodwill of San. Francisco going around saying hello to. people is good. I don't know if it's. going to win over an entire country in. in five days. >> They did try out an Australian rugby. play. So, >> when they were over there? >> Yeah. Yesterday, I believe. So, >> crocodile. >> There's a chance. >> Uh let's go let's go overseas, shall we? In a completely different direction. Chuck Pagano has the Los Angeles Rams. We'll make our official picks here in a. matter of moments. Yesterday, a teaser. hit the world about a movie called The. Mosquito Bowl. Then today, a ode to.

Friday Night Lights with coach uh bas. telling the story of what football is. hit the internet and ran wild. The man. in the mind behind that is friend of. mine, friend of ours. Ladies and. gentlemen, joining us live from London. Town, Peter Beg. >> Yeah, Peter, >> how you doing, brother? >> Cheers, fellas. >> Hey, >> uh apologize for the camera setup, the. lighting. I'm in a I'm in a van going. through downtown London right now. getting ready to show your new film Pat.

Mosquito Bowl to a British audience. We're expanding the reach. >> Okay. I I appreciate you doing that. The. light looks great. You actually kind of. look like pretty uh cinematic. Yeah. A. little dramatic. Yeah. Yeah. There it. is. You know what was that movie? Uh. Tales from the Crypt when they had that. flashlight that was like kind of. shooting up. That's kind of. >> Peter. Well, the horror the horror movie. lighting is from below. This is a whole. another vibe. So, I apologize. >> You would know that, by the way, a man. who wrote the movie, directed the movie, and is also in the movie. You said it. was my movie. Yeah, right. This is the.

world's movie, United States of. America's movie. Can you tell us a. little bit about the Mosquito Bowl and. how excited you are to be a part of the. football culture as much as you are as. an avid football fan that you are? >> Well, for sure. And so the mosquito bowl. is uh all based on a true story that my. cousin Buzz Bessinger who wrote Friday. Night Lights wrote. Uh he wrote it as an. ode to his father who was a Marine who. fought in Okinawa. uh and he called me. and he said, "I'm writing a film about.

my father and your father." Because my. father was a Marine who fought uh in. Korea and it's a true story about a. group of Marines who before they joined. the Marine Corps were elite college. football players from Purdue, Wisconsin, Brown, and Notre Dame. And when Pearl. Harbor hit, these guys gave up their. football careers and joined the Marine. Corps, volunteered and went and fought. in the Pacific theater, which was some. of the most horrific fighting um in the.

last 200 years. Uh they fought in places. like Teroa and Okinawa, and these young. men gave it all up for the Marine Corps, for the country, and some of them paid. the ultimate sacrifice for it. So, the. film is an homage to these men. >> Okay. And honestly, it was uh obviously. it was an honor to be a part of. Thank. you for allowing me to be a part of this. incredible story. I uh wanted to show my. respect and tribute to the Marines as uh.

and deliver. I think from my. understanding, I've not seen the movie. yet uh in in its package. People say I'm. not asking that, but it's not just about. you got Scarsgard. It's got Ray. Nicholson in this. You got uh Galvatine. in this movie who was just in Thor. It. was like working alongside these guys, working alongside you. It did feel as if. something special was coming together. when we were shooting it. Now, Netflix. has announced that it's going to have a. theater a movie theater run, then it's. going to stream on Netflix. Can you tell. us a little bit about that and how that. happens and what people should expect, especially if they go see it in the.

theaters on October 30th? >> Yeah. But before I talk about that, what. I want to talk about, Pat, is you you. and what people do not understand about. you perhaps uh as far as you being an. actor in this film. Uh it's raised some. eyebrows. People have called me and. said, "Was Pat really in the film?" And. I said, "Not only is he in a film, Pat. McAfee was so committed to understanding. the culture and honoring the culture of. the Marine Corps and has good friends. who were drill instructors in the Marine.

Corps that he went down to Paris Island. and spent 4 days living on Paris Island. with the drill instructors. Um, which. nobody knows and nobody needs to know. that, but I'm going to tell them." You. were so determined to get it right. You. then moved yourself out to Australia um. where there's about to be a football. game. So, you know about that jet lag. and spent two months with us. Uh you. spent every day on the set by my side. wanting to learn as much as you could. and wanting to get it as right as you.

possibly could. And I know your buddy. Tom Cruz was your acting coach on it. Um. but you took it so seriously. So much. respect for how seriously you took it. and your performance is awesome in this. film. Thank you for letting me be a part. of it. Now, let's stop talking about all. that, please. Okay. Because uh. >> Sorry, but it's true. There's way too. much of me to know it. >> And I wasn't there for two months. You. know that. That was just a little bit of. slight tell, but it was 2 weeks. Yes, I. was there for two weeks. >> No, it was more than two weeks. >> No, it was two. It felt like forever cuz.

I was there doing it obviously. Uh. that's probably your life was slowing. down, but yes, I was there for two. weeks. Nonetheless, uh I was honored to. be a part of it as was everybody else. It's going into movie theaters, which I. think is a big deal for Netflix because. if you do recall, Ted, the head of. Netflix, got called out at the last. Oscars for ruining movie theaters. I. think he hopes to bring back the movie. theater experience. And also, Mosquito. Bull can certainly do that. Right, Peter? Don't you think? >> For sure. For sure. And for anyone who. knows Ted Sarandos uh and knows who he. is, uh let let me let me assure you that.

this man is a fan of cinema and he has. gone out of his way to not only love our. film and support our film, but to put it. in the theaters uh and to walk the walk. that he was talking when he was, you. know, talking about buying uh Warner. Brothers and he said he was a big fan of. the films of the cinema and the cinema. experience which is something really. important to me and anybody who loves. film. And Ted did not have to do it. Uh,

but he did do it. He saw the film, loved. it, and we're going to have a really. nice theatrical run. And I think this. story, Mosquito Bowl, deserves theaters, and we're getting them. Uh, October. 30th, we come out in the theaters. >> You're the man. Thank you for letting me. be a part of that. Thank you for being a. friend to us. And, uh, enjoy London. I'll be excited to hear how they feel. about the movie, you know. I can't wait to tell you about it. Apologize for the crazy light, fellas. Great to see you.

>> You're the best, ladies and gentlemen. That's Peter Bird. >> Yeah, Peter. >> He's the man. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. Weapon. >> big time. >> He said, "Tom Cruz, your acting coach.". That's because, you know, like on set, Peter was just basically telling me. everything to do. It was interesting him. trying to reach. He's like a coach, you. know. He's like a coach. He's You know. that song bar with the bar, the bang, the bang. Diggy diggy diggy said the. boogie set up jumped the boogie ball. with the ball to bang the ball with. that's why I need you here. Okay, you. need to be here then here then here and.

then all of a sudden my name is I'm like. you got it. He goes live. Let's roll. Then we're right back in it. And I give. a seven minute. seven minute kind of monologue walking. through this entire thing. It was an. honor of a lifetime to represent the. most badass [ __ ] from the. greatest generation which are the DIs. from the World War II era. College. Football, World War, Greatest. Generation. Can't believe I'm a part of. it, but I think it's going to be a great. movie. Uh, from my understanding, I am. not an expert, but it felt on set that. everybody was like, "Yes, we got.

something that's going to pay tribute to. great people." Now, ON THAT NOTE, IT'S A. BIG DAY WITH BIG SHREDS. Nailed it. >> Perfect. >> Boom. >> For Peter Shreger. Y. >> since Monday. >> No, it starts today, actually. Three. minutes. >> Day one. Okay. It's a big day for big. >> getting on a mic talking big plays. Yeah, there it is. There it is. We found. it. Okay. I didn't know if we were going. to be able to get to it ever, but it's a. big day. >> with bigs. >> Getting on a mic talking big.

>> They should cross out Peter and put big. shreds on there. >> Yeah. Or with big. >> Yeah, it's a big. >> shreds. >> Ah, I think big shrekes, don't you. think? >> Big shreds just is cooler. But I was. just tall. He's a taller lad as well. >> Yeah, he's a big son of a [ __ ] People. don't realize that. >> And he does kind of lumber. >> He does. >> He's a house. >> If he leans on you, you're falling. >> All right, let's take a break on the. other side. We'll make our picks. officially. We'll see if Chuck suede us. with any of his numbers that certainly. say the Rams are going to win this. AJ,

did you see all the narrative building. stats Chuck put out there? >> I did, but I am I You never know with. Chuck, though. There's a great chance. that Chuck, you know, flips around and. and picks the ners and he comes up with. some crazy reasoning in why they are. able to do it. So, I I look forward to. it. >> You doing any You doing Look. >> at him. He's a showman. >> Maybe a little waffling. Also, we got to. DO WHAT THE CHUCK. >> be a friend. Tell a friend something. nice might change your life. Take fight.

And so it begins. right here, right now, today. You are going to win. You'll use your eyes to win. Your eyes will show you the truth. You'll recognize it whether you like it. or not, >> without wishing you were seeing. something else.

>> The truth on the field is never. something else. You will not look away. You will feel the truth. together. in your hearts. Your eyes will see clearly. Your hearts will feel fully. Touchdown. What a catch. There he goes.

uniform. in for the touchdown. >> You will play with your eyes clear and. your heart full. >> If you can do that and then do it again. and again, I assure you, you cannot. lose. >> It's sacred to be a part of this family. >> We all together, one team, one hockey.

Unbelievable. >> Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose. >> San Francisco 49ers. When I was a kid,

I get this feeling. I called it white buzz. and everything would go white. and I'd start buzzing. I get the same feeling when I started. playing football.

That white buzz would come pouring into. my brain like a river of fire. It's like I'm not me in that moment. It's like my body is invaded by. something. >> Sounds like a gas.

>> Eight weeks of training. I don't think. we've had enough time. We got you.

Rest in peace to the greatest dog of all. time, Father. Wake up in the morning smoking coffee, no cream. Scroll the feed, see some. tweets on some crazy ass scenes. Trying. to get to some money with our power ball. dreams. Cuz when bills start stacking, we all feel the heat. We all hate the. same folks. Mostly lame bros. All they.

ain't caring. We go back where they came. from. Cuz we living, baby, we got to get. it daily. Wish we'd all spark up and. light up all the shady. Yeah, I got a. pit boy in a mug shot. Putting cliches. up in a tough spot. Got some candle. shooters and some folk who are movers. and a buddy down the county run. We all. got problems and [ __ ] that we go. system missing them all. Leaving us. doing the most. From the BS to the.

country all the way to the hood. We can. all get along and [ __ ] we. should. We all hate the same folks. Mostly lame bros only ain't came back. where they came from cuz we living baby. we got to get it daily. Wish we all. spark up and light up for the shame. >> Yeah, I got a pit in a mug shot. Putting. cliches up in a tough spot. Got some. shooters and some folk who are movers.

and a buddy down the county running. rough shot. Different past, similar scars. Avoid. [ __ ] is so hard. So raise your. smoke. Whatever's your drink, we're more. alike than we think. Forget the labels. and the hate. They divide and conquer.

We're all on the same rock. Together we. should wonder. Yeah, I got a pillow in a mud shot. Putting cliches up in a tough spot. Got. some kid shoulders and some folk movers. and a buddy down the county running. rough shot. Yeah, I got a pit in a mud. shot. Putting cliches up in a tough. spot. Got some war shooters and some. movers and a buddy down the county.

running rough shot. Hey, let's go. >> This show stinks and the fact that you. listen, we are very, very thankful for. >> McAfee on the line with a gorgeous. assist. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers. You. >> stutter. Damn it. >> Your friend, tell a friend something.

nice could change their life. Hello beautiful people and welcome to. our humble boat. >> SAY HELLO. football just got hucked at the camera. there. That's AJ Hawk. The toxic tables. here at Boston Connor at Tai Schmidt. One half of the hammer. Cowboys AP Ton. is here and a man who's coached football.

for 37 years. 19 in the pros, 18 in. college. Ladies and gentlemen, Chuck. Pagan. >> AJ, uh, I don't know if you know this, but we're starting a new segment. whenever Chuck's here. It's going to be. something spotted uh, spotlighting like. um, doofus things, spotlighting uh, things that shouldn't happen. Spotlighting things that uh, MAKE YOU. SAY, "WHAT THE CHUCK?" LISTEN, WE'RE. GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT CHUCKING. football all over the place and some. chucking mistakes. And the mistakes that. make you say, "WHAT THE CHUCK?".

>> ARE THE ones that he's going to. spotlight. Now, obviously, only one NFL. game to pull from. So, we have a couple. from last night. Hey, Chuck, why don't. you start with uh the Chuck and what the. Chuck segment, pal. >> Well, then, >> well, trying to make me say what the. Chuck right now, right? >> Get the Chuck together, pal. Yeah, you. need to chuck. >> anybody who had Seattle minus 3 and a2. is really pissed off. >> Boy, are they. >> That was early in the week. Obviously,

it ended at minus three. >> You guys got it at three. I got it at. minus three and a half, which is total. BS. I said before. exactly. >> unlucky a point. >> New play caller. All right. With your. starting quarterback, all right, first. game of the year, you think there's. going to be some challenges. Going to be. some challenges, right? But you got a. new play car and flurry. You got your. backup quarterback in there. Communication. The opera. All we ever. talked about right practice-wise is. operation. So as we take a look at this,

notice the play clock. What's it what's. on the play clock there, Pam? >> Five, four. It broke the huddle at. eight, I do believe. >> So the biggest thing for me as a head. coach sitting there is like get the play. in. Give the guy a chance to communicate. the play call. These play calls are. what? They're egregious. They're long as. hell. So, you don't even give, all. right, Drew Lock, your backup. quarterback, an opportunity to get to. the line of how about ID the defense a. little bit. You do shifts and motions. and things to try to gather some intel, right? Give him a chance to get to the.

line of scrimmage, get his [ __ ] sorted. out, ID the defense, set the protection, all those kind of things. How can you do. that? What I mean, how can you. >> second in by the way? >> Now, this is second and inches. They got. a first and 15, right? And now he he. escapes, scrambles. You got second and. inches and then we have this [ __ ] going. on. I mean th this is going to be a. touchdown, right? They're going to go up. seven points. They're going to hold them. on defense. They haven't gained the. length of you know what, you know, the. whole game New England hasn't one. penalty play, right?

>> And and we're going to cover. We're. going to win this thing easily. >> We don't get the play. We don't get the. play call in. >> All right. We can't get the motion. We. got the whole left side of the [ __ ]. line moving. and next thing you know you're giving up. five yards, right? Sorry for my. language. >> No, it's the left side of the trucking. line in this one. >> The whole left side of the chucking. line. Seriously. So, I mean, what the. truck are we doing? Okay. >> I mean, we'll be better week two than we. were in week one. I I'm sure we'll work. out some of these some of these key. kinks.

>> But the thing that pisses you off. >> like it's worked up. >> Like you got second in inches. >> Mhm. Like what are we chucking looking. at? >> Each play calls motion every sneak or a. dive. >> and I don't give a [ __ ] if they can see. my run a [ __ ] sneak. True. >> Chuck and sneak. >> Now Flurry Chucking sneak. Flurry ends. up being an undefeated play caller. >> But on that note, on this particular. drive, which was obviously fourth.

quarter late, tie ball game, three. different times they were breaking the. huddle with 9 seconds or 8 seconds left. and Drew Lock had to send two people in. motion. This is a lot to put on a backup. quarterback. It's a lot to put on a. fourth quarter drive, but I do think. Flurry is going to learn from this move. forward. But there's a lot of times as. we're watching that play clock tick. where we're going, what the. >> is going on out there. Okay. >> They'll be much better. Absolutely. >> You would hope so. You would have to be. And from the sounds of it, Drew Lock is. going to be the quarterback for the next. couple weeks. Although it won't be. season long, but at least for the next.

few weeks as we await to hear what. exactly happened to Sam Darnold's hip. He's currently getting some scans. What. else are we saying? What did Chuck do. from last night, Chuck? >> Like you're down three. Chuck me. >> It's third and five. >> Con man, you probably didn't sleep right. after this. No, you couldn't. You. couldn't have slept. You had a sleeping. pill or something. >> We talked about this earlier, right? >> Ball's got to come out right now. This. is quick game. Get it to Henry. Get in. his hands. Right now, you got the edges.

being cut trying to get the defensive. ends on the ground. get their hands. down. And I know Josh McDaniel. got in May's ear right before this play. and he says, "Do not, okay, all things. we got to we got a field goal." Okay, we're going to tie this thing. We're. going to overtime. Do not take a sack. and don't turn the chucking ball over. >> And what what does Drake do? He don't He. don't pop the ball to Henry. We get. pressure in his face and he throws this.

thing up for grabs. Game over. you don't. even have a chance to go to overtime. That's as that's as bad like and I know. Drake May's going to take it. He's going. to be a great player. He's in the Hall. of Fame or the MVP conversation last. year. He'll climb his way back in it. this year. But this this is just. >> what are we doing? >> Amateur stuff is what he's saying. Make. you say what the. >> is going on right there. >> Chucking agrees. >> AJ, what do you think? Do you think his. two picks before this were certainly. weighing on his mind a little bit? Do. you think mentally he did lose to.

McDonald and saw ghost? Or do you think. what Connor was saying is he got bored. and then he wanted to make some plays, then he turned one over, now he's trying. to make up for it. Now he's pressing and. pressing and pressing. Young quarterback. still. People forget about this. Drake. May is still like 22 years old. >> 24. Yeah. >> 20. He's still very incredibly young. He's already accomplished a lot, so the. expectations are high, but there's some. really bad decisions being made in real. time late in the game last night. AJ, >> yeah, there is. I mean, I think it's. possible. Well, you know, sometimes guy. it's like when golfers one day they. shoot a 62, next day they shoot an 80. where it's like maybe it just wasn't his.

night. He wasn't feeling it for whatever. reason mentally. I mean, I'm not worried. about him going forward, but it's this. is week one. Like I think crazy things. do happen in week one. He loses AJ. Brown. Obviously, that doesn't help, but. uh yeah, look for him to to rebound. Obviously, I'm not worried long term, but yeah, you want to play well in big. situations like this. >> What did you say whenever you saw this, AJ? >> I said, "What the Chuck?". >> WOW. >> NAILED IT. WOW, my man. Unbelievable. >> Yes, sir. >> I did not think that uh you were going. to buy into the bit. I think it's a good.

bit. I hope uh I hope this continues for. sure. Okay. In the final What the Chuck? I think is the one that we've all seen. Is it? Is this what the what the. >> Oh jeez. >> Oh boy. >> Okay. >> Yep. >> So, if we can Can we back this up? Is. this the last one or the one before. this? Is there any chance? >> Here's the one before. >> Okay. So, here's the one before. Nine. nine seconds to go. All right. Hail Mary. >> 9.8. >> 9.8 they rush three. Typically Pat guys. on the set. All right. Typically what.

you do in this Hail Mary situation is. you rush three, you man up the five. eligibles and then you have three deep. guys. You have a jumper and then you. have backtip guys. All right. And you. box out all those kind of things. But. right here, stop it. So what did what did the head coach. Whittingham? He's new, right? First year. first year over to Michigan. He said, you know, his job is not infinite. Nobody's job is is infinite, right? >> Yeah. He said Bryce Underwood's job is. not infinite. >> Bryce Yeah, excuse me. Bryce Underwood, right? >> Not his own. >> Well, Whittingham's job is not going to.

say, >> but you'd like to say to your. quarterback, "Hey, listen, Bryce. We've. done this a million times in practice. This is one of those, you know, situational things. How many times we. practice it?". >> At least. >> every single week, right? Walk through. it on Saturday, the last play, right? Give him a chance. Where does he throw. this ball? We all know he's big, he's. strong, and all that. Everybody's. talking about, hey, this guy was out of. bound, he touched it, they put a second. back on the clock, all that kind of. stuff, right? But he threw the thing out. of the back of the chucking end zone.

How can you not even freaking give him a. chucking jam? >> Yeah, he he missed the football field. >> He missed he missed the This is the. worst thing. Nobody's talking about. this. I think one person maybe mentioned. this when they're talking about us. because everybody's caught up in in the. referees, the situation. Do we use the. TV copy? You know, the TV copy. Do we go. to the command center copy? Do this, do. that, right? All kinds of stuff moving. forward. But you can't throw the ball. out of the back of the chucking end. zone. >> The guy missed the football field. Uh 53.

and a third wide, >> 120 long. Okay. Bryce Underwood missed. the entirety of it. Now, because he. threw it to a spot where he knew the. defender was going to reach up and grab. it with.1 seconds on the super secret. clock. Maybe it was a smart decision. actually because they had the entire. Western Michigan coaching staff and fan. base on the field letting their guard. down. So let's say Bryce Underwood threw. it out of the back of the end zone on. purpose. Had no touch, no feel, missed. the entire football field to set up. everything that followed uh afterwards.

Now let's do that's not the final what. the Chuck it sounds like from this. entire situation. Clock. What the Chuck? Super secret clock. What the Chuck? >> Chuck. So super secret. I think Pereira. came on a show with Clad on a podcast. and talked about the mechanics of this. whole deal. >> Uh thought it was very interesting when. Replay hit the NFL back in 99. They went. back to said, "Hey, if we got any. discrepancy situation like this, use the TV copy. Use what the tens of.

millions of people out in America are. seeing." Right. >> What the. Come on now. >> Take it easy. Jeez. Yeah, you're getting. a little chucked up right here. It's. kind of chucking you up a little bit. >> Hey, so they said, "Hey, use they went. and spliced together all the feed that. they get in the command center. Not. supposed to do it. >> Use the TV one." So that's the first. mistake. That's why we have all this. controversy. Right. So. >> exactly. >> So anyway, controversy. >> So anyway, they get another play. So. again, what we talked about.

>> Show us. >> Right. >> Here you go. >> You got threeman rush. Okay. You got. three deep and you got mano mono immano. on all these guys and what we teach. those guys. Can I get somebody out here. to illustrate this thing? >> Yes, absolutely. >> Hey talk, you got a second talk. >> Toggle, >> please have him run. Have him run. >> I think we need a quarterback as well. probably if we're going to be showcasing. this entire thing. >> Thank you. >> Great shirt. >> There's talk. Good to see you talk. >> Hi, baby. Toggle. >> Good to see you talk. Dirty. Dirty. Good.

to see you out there, too. >> See you. Good luck to your Rams tonight, Dirty. >> Okay, so uh. >> so hold on. You're not grabbing a mic. talk. >> You got it. >> Uh, you sure? He I think he might need. one. >> So, we got a man for man on all these. all these guys, right? >> Mhm. >> And what you teach them to do is you run. with them down the field. All right. Quarterback's going to buy enough time. so those receivers can get down the. field just like the first play and get. in the get in the end zone, right? And. so what we always taught, okay, what we. always taught the defenders were chest.

to chest and to box these guys out. So, let's say T's running down and he's the. last guy. Face this way, T. The ball's. right there. The end zone's over there. Okay, talk. All right. And there's a big. group of guys right here. And the ball. goes in there and say it gets tipped. this way. I'm boxing him out so he can't. make a play. >> Mike's here. >> What happens here if we run this tape? >> All right. Buchanan was the guy's name. >> Yeah. >> Buchanan. >> So, Buchanan. >> All right. Balls launched. Great throw.

by by Underwood on this one. Hell of a. throw on this one. >> That's right. So you can see all right. here's talk. He's representing Buchanan. I'm going to be this joker here. Number. six. I think he's number six. >> Good dude. >> Western Michigan. >> Western Michigan stuff. >> Might be in his college football. playoff. Could be. >> Western Michigan Bronco. Yeah. Okay. >> So anyway, they're running down the. field and we talked about being chest to. chest so he can block out box out. Right. So where he ends up when that. ball's thrown, >> here we go. >> Is he's here. >> and he's got a big body in Buchanan,

right? and he can't go on it. Right. >> So, what's happen? >> Yep. I'll hold the mic. Yeah. You play. your defense. >> Don't Hold on. All right. And he starts. to go up to that thing. I'm chest to. chest. Right. And his hands are going to. come up. >> Yeah. >> Right. So, we're running. So, that ball. starts TO COME IN. >> TOUCHDOWN. >> I think that's a touchdown. A touchdown.

Good catch talk. Good ball, Gertie. >> So again, let's run down the field, right? >> That's what you need. Juke Kenny, GET. THE HELL OUT OF HERE. Get the hell out. of here. Hey, great ball, Dirty Talk. Great catch. I didn't know you had that. in you. >> No, me either. Wow. >> Details, Pat. >> I say you got lost there, though. Just. you got talked right there. >> Chuck embodied. Yeah,

>> you did get it kind of chuck and talked. right there. >> That was unbeliev. But what you're. saying is the trail position is not. where you want to be on a Hail Mary. Okay, we need you in front there cuz. even if he overthrows JJ Buchanan, you're going to be there to get it. And. if he hits JJ Buchanan, at least you're. there to interrupt this throw. >> 100%. And we remember uh what's his name. from Chicago? >> Oh yeah. >> [ __ ] around. >> 29. >> Oh man. >> 29 against Washington, right? Hail Mary. >> Stevenson. >> Stevenson. Yeah. >> Another Stevenson, right? University of.

Miami kid. Great player, great corner. >> Tyreek. >> Yeah. He's out there cheering with the. and the ball's in the air. >> So, guess who catches the touchdown. pass? The guy he's supposed to be on. >> Yeah. >> So, it's it's details. It's it's little. things. >> Get Get yourself right here. >> You don't have a mic. >> Take a mic with you, coach. >> You see all these other dudes right in. position. >> That's right. >> Just do your job. >> Coachable at all. >> Okay. You're 111th. Just do your job,

>> Chuck. Isn't there usually designated. jumpers and then designated guys? If. you're behind, you're boxing your dude. out for the tip. >> That's it. 100%. And you got a jump guy. and you got a back guy, a back tip guy, AJ, and a front tip guy. There's two. types of uh Hail Marys, right? You got. the three guys on one side. All right, you're going to get probably a throw a. single receiver on the backside and then. the throw down to the three receivers. That's where the jump ball is going to. happen. If they ever get in a two by. two, it's going to be a goal post. So, you put your jumper in the middle and. then you got two tip guys flanking the.

outside guys with man underneath. Now, the other the other thing we we ran uh. in Baltimore last year is called victory. cigar. You pressure that thing, AJ. Did. you guys have that in your defensive. package? >> Yeah, at least like to pressure, you. know, flush him, try to flush him to his. non-throwing hand and then have somebody. like pressure him from there. Yeah. I. don't I'm always a fan of making him. pull up. Don't let him sit there and. crow hop seven times to get into it. Well, that's the whole idea. So, we. would we would rush five and and end up. sacking the guy twice because it takes. time to get the receivers down the.

field. So, it makes all the sense in the. world. Arizona u Arizona did it to Green. Bay, >> right? >> Jam them up too. Jam up those jam up. number one receivers that. >> and go get the quarterback on the ground. and don't even let him throw the ball. down the field. >> Seems like that situation there was a. big cluster chuck, wasn't it? >> Bryce Underwood misses the entire field. What the chuck? >> What the chuck? clock operations. What. the. >> And then last one, we don't box out and. defend a Hail Mary that has a less than. a percentage chance of hitting.

>> It's unbelievable. >> What the Chuck? >> The poor kid should have never been in. that situation. >> Oh, yeah. Should have. >> They should have never got the other. opportunity. But. >> that's football. >> That's the Big 10, huh? >> They did. >> That's ball. >> That's ball. >> now. >> And that's now. If you're Western. Michigan, it's. >> chucked up. You can't let Michigan beat. you twice. >> Better wake the chuck up. >> Yeah, you got move the chuck on. You. have to move the chuck on. >> Yes, you do. And ladies and gentlemen, that was what the chuck. >> I'm excited to see how this grows in uh.

as the season continues to roll on with. more situations that pop up. Great work. there, Chuck. Thank you for the. representation there, the physical. demonstration of what we need to see and. shout to talk being much more athletic. than we could have ever imagined. >> All right, ladies and gentlemen, it's. time to make our official picks. >> Chuck Pagano heavy on the Rams. Baldinger. Brian likes the Niners. >> So, Niners plus three and a half is. Brian Baldy. I think he liked them. straight up. Actually, Rams minus three. and a half. Shout out to Chuck Begano.

He's a big fan of them, especially with. all the stats and figures that he was. showing us. That certainly led us to all. believe that the Rams might win by 100, including their travel scale. Now, let's. go to one half of the hammer. D Cowboys. AP Tone. What's percentage of money on. what right now, pal? >> Uh, so let me make sure it doesn't. change. Uh 85% on the Rams money line. and 63% on the Rams uh minus three and a. half. >> And what do you like? >> Oh man, I hate the hook so much. That. would be the.5 uh because it comes into.

play so much specifically around three. Uh if you buy a point, it takes it to. minus 160. Now people will judge you for. doing that to taking the Rams minus 2. and a half minus 160. I wouldn't judge. myself because more because dollars is. better than zero dollars if you get. caught with the hook. That's true. Um. but uh everything laid out tonight uh. and I don't trust the Niners secondary. I think Stafford has a big night. Give. me the Rams minus the three and a hawk. >> Okay. But you would prefer it to be two. and a half. We're making a pick right. now with three and a half. Got it. Let's. go to the toxic table at Boston Connor. and at Tai Schmidt. Ty, we'll start with.

you. >> Uh I'm going to go with the Niners. Uh. everyone is picking the Rams. Everyone's. acting like why the [ __ ] did the Niners. even go over there? Why are they playing. this game? Uh I think Shanahan's a. pretty good coach. He damn near died a. couple weeks ago. I think that can, you. know, put some things in perspective. Brock Pury is good. KD's playing. I just. I mean I I don't know if they're going. to win. I think they very well could win. outright, but I think this is going to. be very close. Uh and no one else likes. them. I like the Niners. >> Okay, so you like the Niners plus three. and a half. Fun fact here from Hembo. Shawn McVey has covered in five of his.

last six games versus Kyle Shanahan, but. the previous seven to that never was. able to accomplish it. >> So the recent success that McVey has had. covering over Shanahan is certainly just. that last three years or so. but he's. hit for five straight. Do we think that. continues? Con man, who do you like. tonight? >> Yeah, I like the Rams. Uh the three and. a half I love. I actually did take them. alternate six and a half. Feels like. there will be some sort of touchdown. discrepancy. I just worry about KD. Like. you come back from Achilles. He's. awesome. And you're on the field for. sure. It's just how often are you going.

to be on the field? Is he going to play. every single snap and be as effective as. he always is? Maybe. I hope so. I just. don't know if that is realistic. Miles. Garrett, everything kind Trent McDuffy. There's just so many things that the. Rams and I did love what their travel. did. You mentioned that's what most. players would want to do. They sent four. guys over in the off season to test that. theory. Feels like it worked because if. it didn't work, then they wouldn't have. done it that way. I like the Rams. tonight. It just feels like this is the. beginning of a very deep run for them. >> Okay, AJ, we do have somebody on the.

Niners. We have a couple Rams picks. Remember, the Rams have 11 captains. And. if we were to make this uh graphic and. showcase all the stars on the Rams team, obviously it would take up a lot of. space. They have studs everywhere, but. so do the Niners. We get to see Fred. Warner play football tonight. I forgot. about that. >> Let's remind ourselves of that. Fred. Warner is going to be flying around a. football field this evening talking [ __ ]. and hitting everybody. Christian. McCaffrey, what if he goes crazy crazy? Remember, he took some time off during. training camp. That was obviously we.

thought it was maybe a big deal. It's. not. He feels good. George KD flying. around. Trent's over there enjoying. himself. Debo back on the team. Brock. Birdie has a deal with John Deere. >> That's true. >> He's finding farmers this off. seasonason. So maybe he's feeling and. playing better than ever. AJ, does that. sway you at all or which way are you. leaning here? >> No, I I do agree with you. I think the. 49ers are a very good football team. I. love Fred Warner. He is very, very fun. to watch. Anyone that loves watching. defense, watch Fred Warner every single. play. He has like the the style of play. that I think you want everyone to to.

play with if you're a defensive guy. But. with that being said, give me the Rams. 24 ner 17. >> Oh, exact scores. I like it. Chuck had. 2820. AJ has 2417. Obviously, both men. having covers and unders. >> I won't go into the score, but I would. love to throw in Terrence Ferguson. touchdown, tight end for the Rams as. well. >> Okay, so we got an extra TUD call here. by Con man. We got the under for both of. these lads that they're saying as they. both take the Rams minus three and a.

half. I'll tell you, I was maybe. thinking about the NerS, you know, because they've been there for a while. and we obviously respect and love them. Then I saw this New York Post tweet. It's like Stafford and McVey are annoyed. when they got to Australia. >> They do look annoyed, don't they? >> I held them up in customs forever. Way. too long. >> These guys were just annoyed. I mean, just got off a 16- hour flight. You. know, it was a little bit delayed. They. They were annoyed. These guys, >> I believe it. No Wi-Fi, they said, for. 17 hours on the plane. >> Yeah. So, I think I flew on a similar. plane to this particular plane and uh.

you know, not every commercial plane. company is putting Starlink on. Starlink. would probably be the only one that. would work out there because you're out. in the middle of blue for a long long. time. >> I think this one had to have it. Said. it's the most expensive commercial. airline ever. >> Somebody said no. >> Did not. Yeah. Star Jesus. >> I think that would be the only one. I. don't for. >> TV with like 90 90 show 90 movies on. there hopefully. >> Yeah. >> Or download. Yeah. >> Yeah. And there's yeah, you load up your. iPad going in, you know, because you.

know that this is going to happen before. you get on the plane and there's options. on the screen and everything like that. So hopefully you're able to get through. it, but it does feel like you're in a. time warp. >> It's great. >> I mean, it feels like you're just kind. of entrapped in a capsule while you're. flying over. And if anything was to go. wrong, we're [ __ ] completely cuz you. look at the map and it's just blue with. like a tiny little green thing and it's. like, >> is that where that lady who flew around. the. >> Ameilia Airheart? >> Boom. This is all she was seeing too, right? Then she got down and. >> she was on the same plane actually. >> She hit the triangle. >> Very different plane. Very, very. different plane between Ameilia Airhard. and uh the Quantis Air.

>> bus that they were flying down there. >> The pods are nice though. >> They looked incredible. >> Pods are really nice. If you're not in. one of those, >> you're [ __ ] You're chucked. Excuse. me. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Completely chucked. >> So chucked. >> All right, let's get out of here. >> Can't wait to get chucked up tonight. >> So you're on the ramp, >> huh? >> So you're on the ramp. >> Pick. Well, I like that they looked. annoyed. >> Okay. >> Okay. If they would have came off that. plane skipping, I would have been a. little bit more worried. >> Yeah. >> I like the Rams to start their their.

2026 journey here. Now, I'm a Seahawks. fan, so I don't love how. >> That's true. >> It's a lose-lose, though. >> Yeah. Two divisional rivals here. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. But everybody's been talking about. the Rams all off seasonason. We're Super. Bowl champs. >> Yeah, true. >> You're kind of hoping both these teams. lose tonight. >> Yeah. Under tie. You're rooting for a. tie. >> Tie. >> Yeah. An ugly tie, man. Australia. experiencing a tie. I don't I don't. know. >> Nine. >> I think they're they're. >> they tie in. >> Doesn't cricket go for a long time. >> Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> Can they tie in Aussie rules football?

>> I don't think so. >> They battle to the death. >> I think they would actually battle to. the death actually. That's a really. behind the play game. They're doing a. lot of cheeky. >> Oh, yeah. Some guy got had to get. subbed. One of the stars of uh the. Brisbane Lions got subbed out like five. minutes into the game that I was at. because behind the scenes he got punched. right in the sternum. Yep. >> Guy couldn't breathe and they showed a. replay like what happened? Oh, literally. soon as it started, a guy went and. punched him right in the chest and then. in the face. It's like that's allowed. I'm looking around there like ref.

>> So, >> so you know, you just got to do what you. got to do. It's like that guy's a pretty. good [ __ ] player, is he not? He's. best guy. Yeah. >> Is he getting back out there? Hey, [ __ ] watch. I guess. >> and they just kind of kept it moving. They don't even act like it's a big. deal. It's like, yeah, it's just [ __ ]. part of it. I guess they're they're a. they're a physical bud. I think they. will like our sport. >> Mhm. >> If it is a great game and this should be. a great game. >> So, we cannot wait to watch. Um I like. the Rams. >> All right. Okay. >> Roughly every one in a 100 matches uh in.

the AFL ends in a tie. >> Okay. So, it's not, you know, they've. seen it before. >> It's not happening. >> Soccer is good. >> That's not uh it's Azero's football. Shelton playing tonight, right? Ben. Shelton's fight. >> Oh, yeah. >> Two Americans. >> Big. Big Fo. >> I like Big Foe. I like the way uh. >> he dresses. >> I like his pink shoes and everything. I. like his attitude. I like the name Big. Foe. It does feel like the stars come. out for Big Fe. >> Stars also come out for uh Ben. Oh, it's. tomorrow. Okay. It was not tonight. I. told earlier today that it was tonight.

>> That's on me. >> Um but Ben Shelton playing tomorrow. Cannot wait to see him get back out. there. I'm on Ben Shelton. I'm on Ben. Shelton being the next great tennis. player in America. having a represent. >> headto head. He's three to one against. big foe. >> He's three and one or 321. >> He's a he's beating him three to one. >> Okay. So he's. >> he's three to one. >> 321 would be gambling money. >> Three and one. >> Give a guy a break. >> I can't check and hear you, pal. >> You're making it. You old Chuck.

>> Jesus. >> So Chuck, >> speak clearly. You checking idiot. >> Three and one against the guy. >> Three and one. 321 would be a gambling. term. which we do talk about. You know, >> you're familiar. >> My bad. I'll fix that. >> Got a lot to fix. >> I don't know if you got any ain't. chucking chance, but. >> Chuck and Rusty, I'll tell you that. >> Hey, would you like to throw some. chucking footballs maybe. >> for world peace? >> Yeah. >> Why chucking not? >> I like that. >> Don't miss wide right, Chuck. >> I want to let you Oh, he's Raven. checking kicker. >> Talking about the Raven Steelers there.

That's a tough miss. Ball should have. went through the upright, sir. But there. was some uh holy water that was spread. by father. >> father Mc McNeely. >> McNeely from that's my boy. >> Yeah. Who was in place of Maximillion. who uh father took the night off and. then. >> potentially got Wally Pip there whenever. it comes to the holy water on the field. especially earning an AFC North. championship getting the playoffs and. then the Baltimore Ravens completely. dismantling everything that they had. built. Now the Ravens coming to Lucas. Oil Stadium this weekend. Good luck in.

the lighthouse. Would you like to make a. pick for that game? >> Uh, yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah. I like the Colts. >> Boom. With the points are straight up. >> I just like the fact that Shane had such. great success now and they're going to. say Ravens got better def they got. really good players on that side of the. ball on the defensive side. Jesse's the. head coach and he's the defensive. He's. going to be calling the defense. They scored 38 against the Chargers last. year. And Danny Dimes threw for 288.

yards, two TUDs. JT ran for 5.9 per. carry. He had three Tuds, two rushing, I. think, one receiving. So, I mean, they. had they they were they played really. really well versus that that unit. I'm. sure Jesse watched that tape at. Nauseium, see what the hell, you know, happened, what was good, what was bad. Jesse's like Mike. He does a great job. attacking protection. So, um, but I I. like Hey, the other thing, Pat,

>> there's three new starters for the. interior line for that Ravens really. outfit. >> Huh. >> Right. They brought they brought Gib uh. Simpson back. He was there before. They. brought him back. Gwyn is the starting. center. He has never started. This will. be his first start on the road. Hostile. environment, right? >> Hostile. >> Yeah. Loudest building. >> Oh my god. Everybody sitting down. Seattle. I my my challenge would be to. like they came to me and said there was. a fight in the stands after our game or. >> obviously. >> there was a fight during one of our. games. I said, "What are they fighting.

over?" Somebody was standing up clapping. and yelling. >> Yeah. >> And they're like, "Sit down." I said, "You got to be kidding me. We got a lot. of work to do with the mindset of this. group." So, >> and they and we made it. Still is. >> Colts fans, get up. Get loud. >> Get nasty. >> What? >> I mean, >> STAND THE CHUCK. Stand the truck up. >> Exactly. >> I will say that it was potentially. referred to as the Lucas Oil Library. >> for a while.

>> Seats are very comfortable. >> Really good Wi-Fi. Fans have experienced. a lot of success. >> Very comfy. >> Very, very comfortable. Great food. >> Great drinks. >> Uhhuh. I mean, >> so there has been conversations about it. being maybe a little bit too comfortable. in there for. >> a polo match if you want that. Dr. You know what I'm saying? >> Yeah. Polo, they just sit down. >> I will say now it's the Lucas Oil. Lighthouse, especially the first 10. weeks last year. Whenever last year. whenever they were rolling, place was. >> unbelievable.

>> Obnoxiously loud. It was cool to hear. and to experience. I think they're going. to bring that again. Ravens are coming. into a tough place. >> Hey, first time communication wise, new. center, right? >> But hold on on a young interior three. >> Yeah, we need some. >> You got big grove inside. Double A gap. pressure there too. >> Buck a gap pressure 100%. Let's go. >> Okay. I like the Colts as well. I like. that you made two picks here today. We'll see how that goes. Would you like. to do a throw for a giveaway or for. world peace?

>> Make the right choice here. >> I think. >> Come on. >> The Niners have covered the world peace. thing for this week. >> Okay. >> Okay. Down there, right? >> That's a good call. All right. So, this. will be for. >> giveway. >> Let's go for AJ. >> Chuck Pagano is back. Let's go. 25. winners of $500. If Chuck Bagano is able. to put that NFL flag championship. football into that hoop right over. there, Chuck, I know you were working. this earlier. How do you think it's. going to come out of the hand this year? >> It should be. >> Turn it on. You're good. >> Is that on? Yeah. Okay. Should be okay.

I just spent the last year, you know, throwing footballs to DBs like I used to. do. You You wanted to run the scout team. and all that. I said, "No, I got this. bad." Yeah, you did. >> You know, but we'll see. I feel pretty. good about it. >> Okay, here we go. Come on, Chuck. >> One shot. One opportunity. >> Only one. >> Only one shot. >> The line slip. >> You were training last year to throw. Let's see if it happens. 25 winners, $500. All you Chuck got. >> Oh, >> almost. >> I like the line. >> All right, let's go. You get another. shot. Get another shot. Even though you.

practiced beforehand, you were very. short. Hold on now. 25 winners of $500. If Chuck Pagano is able to put that. football into the chucking hoop right. over there, Ty Schmid, anything to say. to coach before he throws this? >> Don't [ __ ] foot around here, Charlie. All right. Put that thing in the bucket. Let's go. Let's win some people some. money. Okay, >> come on, Charles. 25 people, $500. All I. got to do is. >> Jesus Christ. >> Are you sit the truck down? >> SIT THE CHUCK DOWN. >> SIT THE CHUCK DOWN. >> God. embarrass of all time.

>> That is sticking. >> Thank you for coming over, Chuck. Hi. See you next week, man. >> Go the Chuck home. >> Jeez Louise, that was tough. >> Tina's going to have you. >> Oh, she she's going to be Chuck. Want. one more? >> No. >> No. >> I mean that I You can't let me walk out. >> The next one. The next one might go in. >> Come on. What's a chuck bat? >> Okay. All right. All right. We'll give. you one more chucking shot. Okay. We'll. give you one more chucking shot. >> Might be a flat ball. >> Yeah. >> Oh,

that's chucking soft. >> Super flat balls. Yeah. I don't I don't. know what to tell you, bud. We've moved. on to the NFL flat football. >> Been killing them. >> Make sure you have that earpiece in. If. you don't have the right one in, you. might not make the shot. 25 people, $500. Even worse. All right. >> Oh, >> coach. >> Guy didn't hit the rim one time. >> Good run, Chuck. >> Come on, coach. >> Sorry, peeps. Cheer him. >> It wasn't world peace. >> Hey, don't Exactly. Don't you worry. about being sorry, Chuck. Okay, cuz.
