day but my voice in the end I'm glad I. didn't have to do that I'm glad I got to. do the Pete themel he enjoyed it he came. on the show so yeah yesterday was. awesome I wonder how long it takes for. you to just get out of it like last. night were you talking to your wife and. your baby you're like going to get Gob. smacked with like how long are you still. in the uh in the impression if you will. no I kind of just dropped it right after. the show because I'd been doing it for. so long so it was like Hey if I if I do. this for another hour I will be doing it. all night so I needed to immediately. that's like that's like draft.

spectacular nights yeah afterwards. whenever we go off air after we've been. live for however many hours the round. one of the draft takes like 10 hours. somehow 32 picks 10 Hours come spend a. year with us the NFL draft round one. pretty much is what that show has become. cannot wait to see what we're able to do. now with the potential hands that we are. able to shake in the setup we're going. to be able to have for that evening. always going to be awesome but you're. mad Mel Kyper until basically the next. morning all the way into like the next. show whenever you're talking even if.

we're just shooting some hoops having. some drinks we got mad Mel Kyper here. joining us so I appreciate the fact that. Pete DL is joined your repertoire and I. think he's going to be a valuable piece. of this college football season one half. of the hammer Cowboys turn digs this. Michigan sign steel and stuff is growing. growing and growing every single day. somebody on the internet find something. new that we're all going to be. incredibly pumped about now it's this. dude was Undercover on Jim M sideline of.

the central Michigan team Jim M known. fisherman y That's Right known fisherman. Jim M was one time a wide receiver coach. from Michigan now his name is being. brought into the Michigan controversy. because allegedly this Connor stallions. guy former captain of the Marines was. hiding on their sideline maybe with. recording. sunglasses trying to get Michigan State. signals now I believe what Michigan's. going to say about all this is this. captain in the Marines we appreciate his. service and he went to the Naval Academy.

obviously and he was accepted to. Michigan always been a Michigan Michigan. man wants to be a Michigan man but. whenever we hired him we said yeah we. would like a guy that can maybe decipher. some signals he's a rogue agent you. think we're sending the central Michigan. to worry about Michigan State you don't. think you you think we're worried about. Michigan State that's what Michigan's. going to say and then the entire. conversation's going to be like well. Harbaugh you did reap the benefits of. what this psycho was potentially doing. without your knowledge of it all it's. going to continue to grow and every day.

it's something new last week it was the. against Ohio State where everybody on a. sideline go to the sky this time it's a. guy hiding on Central Michigan sideline. and now Jim mne head coach of the. central there he is put his head down oh. no camera hiding Dam what are you. looking for down there guy in the Hat we. don't know maybe he lost his contact you. know the sidelines are a little hectic. and everything like that but it. certainly looked like he was going whoa. whoa whoa whoa whoa like he's an. undercover cop you know and uh whenever. they're an undercover cop is potentially. working somewhere there in the.

background of a photo that's not good. news obviously NFL teams see this type. of stuff I've seen some undercover. police do whoa whoa oh oh not now not. now don't need to die that feels like. that's what Conor stallion was doing. here's what Jim M head coach of Central. Michigan Avid fisherman former coach of. Florida and at the University of. Michigan as a wide receiver coach which. is a big part of this because that's. allegedly how it all ties together here. here's him talking about the Hat. sunglass man on his sideline against. Michigan St you before we go any further.

um we've obviously aware of a picture. floating around so with the the uh the. sence stealer guy um you know our people. are doing everything they can to get to. the bottom of it um we're unaware. totally unaware of it I certainly don't. condone it uh in any way shape or form. and uh we lost the game you know I do. know that his name was on none of the.

passes that were let out um now we just. keep tracing it back and tracing it back. and try to figure it out but it's in. good hands with our people um of course. and again U you know there there's. there's no place in football for that. hell I didn't see him yeah I was on the. same sideline as him I didn't see you. saw how good he was like kind of just. mixed in kind of stand looking guy so. once again the story continues but. there's internet people now who have. talent and apps oh yeah they're dragging. his face from like photos onto that.

particular face I saw a video and it's. like that's the same guy lines up that's. Captain F Marin that's Conor stallion I. will say he was never deployed okay okay. when he was with the Marines I do. believe he was uh stationed in. California we do appreciate the fact. that he signed up for the Marines and. for that he went to school at the Naval. Academy I think he was a ga but this. thing is only growing and this Michigan. team is so damn good it's a shame that. this is going to get hung over their. head but it's like it's certainly real. and it's only getting bigger and bigger. in this college football world too and.

they released their college football. playoffs for the first time last night. which is a big deal cuz it's the one. that matters now the general Bob carpent. has been right all along the whole and. we feel like his ranking does matter and. people need to take it a lot more. serious especially with what we're. seeing now he basically has the feel of. what this college football playoff. committee is going to do this is pretty. much where he's been sitting the last. like four or five weeks but these are. the folks that are going to determine. who's in the playoff these are the ones. who are going to determine what B game. you're going to in the future there's.

going to be 12 team this is the group. that is deciding it all heard bu Corgan. talk a little bit last night about the. Michigan situation he said that's an. NCAA issue that's not a college football. playoff committee issue but everybody. from the outside's looking in like kind. of though kind of because competitive. advantage and nobody else is doing what. they're doing so it's all getting a. little bit muddy but uh Ohio State. number one team in the country in their. eyes I can respect it two massive wins I. feel like if you're the champion you. remain the champion until somebody. knocks you off the pedestal is. especially if you play your best. football game after losing the best.

player in football but I don't think uh. Kirby Smart's pissed off that they're a. number two he's certainly using that and. I also appreciate the fact that if you. get ranked third in the country or fifth. in the country you're like mad about it. super mad pretty good pretty good start. so far the whole top 25 is filled with. story lines and congrats to Oregon being. the one lost team that is represented at. the highest Alabama's in there as well. uh Kirk Herbst Street last night on the. college football playoff live show at. 7:00 on Tuesdays where they're unveiling.

that whole thing he said uh right now. the team that I don't want to see Oregon. and I'll tell you what I don't know if. it's just recency bias or not but. nobody's supposed to go into Utah and do. what they did to Utah that is not how. it's supposed to go out there like that. is a tough place to play the stats say. it we're not saying this just because we. fell in love with the state we're just. telling you stats say it's a tough that. team tough team like tough game going to. be in it like it's going to be a big 10. type game whenever uh Utah's in the game. and instead organ just went in there and. just beat the hell out of the team we.

fell in love with crazy we fell in love. with so it's real uh a man who is a. 9-year NFL vet and has been joining us. Monday through Wednesday all year this. year a host of the man of man podcast. and everything DB DK J Butler is here. incredbly hey you look super cool today. dbut and uh also joining us 12year NFL. vet Super Bowl champion player coach a. Jackie Moon for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. but he also played for the Arizona. Cardinal the Pittsburgh Steelers the. Philadelphia Eagles the Indianapolis. Colts in the Baltimore Ravens ladies and. gentlemen a true journeyman and the only.

reason why is because he was drafted. late because he had short arms and a big. gut right now he's got no gut properly. jocked ladies and gentlemen AQ. please that's an accurate assessment. perfect how about Penn State being a. main reason why Ohio state is currently. ranked number one that's going to make. you feel good as a Penn State Alum huh. yeah I mean they respect your team they. respect your team enough that it's like. that big win they they beat a good team.

so that hey James Franklin has built a. good enough team to impress the. committee to put Ohio State at number. one over over Michigan Georgia and. everybody hey pen we are pen. State that's big news that was it. congrats to you guys but then they laid. an egg against Indiana and had won then. they had to have a players only meeting. oh and we and we know what happens there.

Yukon was not in the top 25 but in the. next 10 years there's a chance 20 maybe. they go on a run let's talk about the. massive news that has happened in the. NFL World while we were all asleep. especially on the East Coast time zone. the Las Vegas Raiders here just 25 games. into a six-year contract worth somewhere. near $60 million Josh McDaniels has been. canned as the Las Vegas Raiders head. football coach and alongside of him sent.

packing his GM Dave Dolph Ziggler now I. will say that this was certainly. surprising to all of us whenever we. awoke this morning a six-year deal. especially with Mark Davis and how the. Raiders kind of have been run not saying. financially but financially you would. think they would not get out from. underneath a $60 million contract with. $40 million roughly still owed after. this season to a head coach Mark Davis. couldn't take it anymore now yesterday. whenever we were asked Devonte Adams. need to command to trade to get the hell.

out of town we thought to ourselves the. natural thought would be are the Raiders. going to figure this out over the next. couple years while Devonte Adams is on. contract do we think the Raiders are. going to fire the head coach maybe after. this season maybe fire the GM and it was. almost felt like we were being uh Sports. media people just being dramatic like. are they going to fire the GM are they. going to fire the coach he's only 25. games into this thing he's got a. six-year deal are they going to do Mark. Davis said yeah I am I'm sick of it this. means that to me Mark Davis talked.

probably M Max Crosby probably talked to. Devonte Adams he said he listen I'm on. your guys' side I'm not on the coach's. side we're going to rebuild around you. we're not rebuilding in their Vision now. if you do recall their Vision uh Daren. Waller yep out out of the building see. uh Derek Carr literally kicked out of. the building uh you talk about Hunter. rro and what has happened with him under. this whole thing pretty much out of the. offense you what's that Chandler. Jones situation Jac Josh Jacobs was.

going to hold out it's like a lot of the. things that have happened with Dave. Dolph Ziggler and Josh McDaniels for. them to have the lack of success that. they've had they've made some big swings. and done some things to the kind of the. core of the Las Vegas Raiders so they. move on now ex player big Pier Super. Bowl champion for the New York Giants. who's an old school guy I do believe he. is now the interim head coach champ. Kelly who none of us know is the interim. GM but congrats to him having the name.

champ I think he's probably going to. bring Positive Vibes in there a no. Connell allegedly going to be the. starter and if you look back in history. you think to yourself after week eight. this guy gets fired that seems pretty. early not only in a season but in a. six-year tenure That was supposed to. happen so we dug throughout the history. of the NFL look at some of these firings. uh look that's going to be tough for me. to read you out okay. 1938 okay in year two h hug go bezic was. fired after three games listen to this.

one 1968 Year s Joe Collier two games. into the season see you later for the. bills how about the team formerly known. as right of course the. Washington not saying it. obviously but it is part of NFL history. and George Allen certainly coached for. them for two preseason game in his first. year 1978 they said this guy stinks wow. I don't know what they saw all I don't. know what the hell happened in these two.

preseason games but they knew quickly. this guy ain't got it he ain't winning a. Lomo let's get him the hell out of two. preseason games this guy Les we don't. know if he got arrested for murder what. happened but he was two preseason games. into his tenure he got canned Jack. petera year seven over there for the. Seahawks Lane kein in his second year. four games in if you do recall that got. real loud real loud real like this comes. after a USC situation or before USC. situation Lane kein through a lot of. boom boom boom to find himself at Old.

Miss right now I think they're ranked. top 10 I think they're ranked 10th in. the country right now Bobby patrino in. his first year 13 games at last now he. resigned so it's not necessarily a. firing but I do believe the team was. going to fight him so that was kind of. uh that was kind of a decision made in a. firing spot Dennis Allen Raiders after. four games in his third year Joe filbin. his fourth year five games Hugh Jackson. eight games in Urban Meyer 13 games in a. year one that was a long 13 games a lot. of stuff happened there in our head like.

10 different things just happened oh he. kicked the kicker no he was on the Dance. Floor sha one to the dance like uh he. got laughed out of the thing he didn't. fly with his team that was only in 13. games yeah crazy miss those times fun. remember TBO TBO was in there too oh my. god do you remember what he was going to. do to this Jags team too and he goes. down to uh Jacksonville with the con. family the con family owns all elite. wrestling uh which is another wrestling. P oh yeah and I forgot about that and.

his first week down there he goes we're. throwing this word elite around too much. way too much we were going to be on the. edge okay we need to be on the edge. Elite everybody's Elite it's like well. maybe everything's Elite where you are. cuz you were actually on an episode of. something called ho laptop oh I'm going. to need to build a new building too. remember he wanted to build a whole new. town I need a new practice facility I. need a new town within Jack's Beach I. need this whole thing and in a way that. unfolds I bet you cons the cons were.

just like we could have got this more. terribly wrong if we tried 13 games. though he lasted so congrats to him. Frank Wright obviously the writing was. on the wall that was nine games Jeff. Saturday would go on to be the head. coach after him last year Matt rule got. fired after five games Carolina Panthers. kind of have that as hiso with the new. owner remember Ron Rivera got fired. early as well whenever they knew they. were going to move on from him Matt rule. see you later and then Josh McDaniels in. his second year eight games into this. thing he is canned Darius J Butler I.

know an early firing is a uh a good sign. to your fan base like we ain't putting. up with this anymore either but it. is also maybe an early look at who the. next person is maybe Antonio Pierce gets. a real opportunity here to lead this. team and see how they do Mark Davis has. done crazier things but the big story. for me is Tom Brady becomes an owner of. the Raiders and then all the people. including Mick Lombardi I do believe all. the people that came from the patri out. and Giants won a Super Bowl right.

against the pitch in now interesting. kind of times in Las Vegas and what do. you think about what the future holds. for all of I mean not not extremely. shocked we all saw it how what's been. going on in the program we always talk. about um the death sentence that players. only meetings are they had a players in. coaches kind of meeting where they air. out all the Grievances and then a couple. days later you know these moves are made. so like you said maybe they did talk to. those players Devonte Max and say hey. what what's the direction which way you. want to go um you hate to see it you.

know in the middle of the Season. especially for the players cuz now. Antonio Pierce you got to come in there. midseason and try to you know Steer this. ship champ Kelly he's been around on the. league for a while in the Personnel um. space when Rick bace got the the interim. job like most of us felt like hey this. is the guy was kind of like wils in. Carolina that's probably the guy you. should at least give a shot with what he. did in that locker room with everything. that went on that season yeah Jeff. satday playoffs no no I'm not not I mean. and uh the ra remember that drugs that.

was like it was a bunch of going on. and he kind he you know had that team. playing so I think he should have. definitely got a shot so we'll see um. you know what Mark does here but it's. you know anytime you get a mid-season. fire and that's definitely shock. especially in the middle of the night. the day after same day of trade deadline. in their eyes same day of trade deadline. but I think it had passed because. eastern time is the whatever the case um. AQ for these coaches now do they see as. an opportunity to like okay this our. opportunity run team or they say man. they are punting on this season this is.

a move for next year and we're kind of. all in a bad spot this is a move for. next year I mean you are literally just. trying to write the ship I guess. culture-wise because I was a part of a. team where we fired Mike McCoy midseason. as the offensive coordinator and whoever. this new offensive coordinator is that's. coming in like he has you can't change. terminology you can't run a whole new. offense you can't do a whole new install. you can't do you can't do all these. things exactly just like they had the. only guy that knew the plays 29 years. old and he got handed the keys to the.

off last year killed it and same thing. they did the same thing with Mike McCoy. and then Byron left which Byron. obviously came from a different. philosophy the whole Bruce arens word. you couldn't Implement a whole new. offense when he was put in same thing in. in in Vegas right now and it's going to. be uh hey we're just going to just try. and write this culture that's all we're. trying to do yeah and for Antonio pierce. it probably sucks a little because you. look at the rich Bacha thing and they. somehow made the playoffs and he still. didn't get the head coaching job but I. go back to when the Raiders played at. Sofi and Mark Davis is basically sitting.

with the fans in that front row and. people are walking by like hey fire. McDaniels fire MC Daniels and he you. know he responds and says you don't even. know what you're talking about I assume. it got so loud in Vegas that Mark Davis. just couldn't take it anymore and he was. like all right we're not going to the. Super Bowl this year everyone seems to. hate this guy like Waller who's been on. he seems to be just like a great dude. everybody loves Waller inspirational. story this guy's awesome really good at. football and if he he couldn't make it. work with him and the weirdest part.

about that is that they signed him to an. extension the year before the season. started last year those guys Ziggler. Ziggler however the hell you say his. name and McDaniels gave Waller an. extension and then shipped him out of. town a year later like how does that. happen especially in an offense where. it's like hey this guy's coming from New. England they use the tight ends a lot. Waller's going to be a huge part of this. thing and then he doesn't get invited to. a wedding so he ships him out of town. like that's absurd yeah well not just. only doesn't get invited to w outs where. the wedding is going to be allegedly.

that like kind of says Hey two. superstars here in Vegas for getting. married R I was invited but you guys can. certainly go ruin it if you want to and. I guess that kind of happened allegedly. allegedly we could have asked both. Darren and Kelsey but we decided not to. because we want to have a good convo. with him but shortly after that that was. the story for why Darren wanted out. because Josh McDaniels potentially. ruined his wedding date now now his wife. playing for the Las Vegas Aces and him. being in New yor York now is not. necessarily great but it was anything to.

get away from Josh McDaniels it feels. like and this leads to the conversation. of this bich coaching tree and we're. trying to put a graphic together but. it's tough to put it together because. um yeah so that is certainly a part of. the tree but it's tough to put together. because the stats are so terrible so so. terrible it is very very bad there's a. couple college coaches on there and Fel. didn't coach for him so he's just a. player saw that tree we're trying to put. a graphic together but as we pieced it. together it is very apparent like hey is.

Bill doing everything so you know this. is what you have to ask AB he's Bill. doing everything now he is the general. manager obviously but it would be a. funny scene to kind of learn after all. this kind of ends like hey the offense. that Josh McDaniel was ran very very. well yeah that was actually Tom and Bill. those were they were putting that. offense together and then Josh McDaniel. was just calling their offense pretty. much and on defensive side of the ball. like Matt Patricia he goes up to Detroit. he's supposed to be the Savior greatest. defensive coordinator of all time and. it's like well was it Bill actually that.

was potentially the one that was doing. how about special teams you take Joe. judge he gets a head coaching. opportunity for the Giants and it's like. well was it actually was it actually. bill that was doing this entire thing. because other legendary coaches and I'm. not saying that bill bich isn't the. greatest coach of all time he is he's. also the greatest general manager of all. time but I think he's also potentially. the greatest offens coordinator of all. time uh the greatest defense coordinator. of all time maybe the greatest special. teams coordinator of all time maybe the. best running back coach of all time.

maybe best quarterback coach of all time. maybe the best wide receiver coach of. all time like I think that is what this. lack of success from his tree showcases. but also it might say like damn Tom. Brady was probably a very very important. to all of this thing up there well and. you look at man in the arena the whole. behind the scenes with Tom Brady that. one of the plays specifically he. mentions is how Bill told Brady that a. defense will come out it was Buffalo. that they'll show this look and he found. this on Saturday watching film and he. told Tom about this before the game and.

that was one of the touchdowns they had. but the coaching records I believe the. two best were Bill O'Brien and Flores. and Bill O'Brien was 52 and 54 and. Flores was 24 and 25 and those were the. best by far looking at those coaches. like kenell he coached a long time and. he was a d coordinator too but his head. coaching was way below 500 I believe Joe. judge was like 10 and 33 uh or seven and. 15 I I think he coached more of the. games than that but they it's it's. terrible it's really bad and belich.

obviously he he'll get bashed with the. Brady thing on how how it was all time. but when you look at stuff like this it. is just impossible to deny how much. better and how much Bill really does do. for teams AQ now this is from DraftKings. they put this graphic together which. this beautifully indicates it I mean. great find here zi around the internet. Sav was head coach of the Dolphins. people forget about that so like that's. why he's on here there's college guys. too that have gone on to have success. that have come from the bill bich era. but I think it's because in college you. can act the way Bill bich acts without.

the resume like that's how college. football kind of operates the big thing. is everybody tries to implement the. Patriot Way is that what you think AQ. and it doesn't work because they don't. have the resume of that guy that's right. in the middle that's going to be. considered the greatest of all time well. I think the biggest thing we've talked. about this a bunch is the fact that it's. easy to implement that way when you're. winning it's very easy when you're. winning hey we'll wake up 5:30 a.m. y. we'll be there we do your little. Oklahoma full pad 7 a.m. you got it you. got it we're going to go win but we'll.

run that Hill after practice 100% you. better we better have five six Super. Bowls exactly you know if we're going to. be committing this type of misery. towards football that nobody else is. doing that is winning you know not. granted the Chiefs do their thing but. the Patriot Way is just supposed to be. this hey militant very serious although. bill belich has a great personality and. teaches well but it's like this is how. this goes like man Genie when he went to. the Browns heard stories of him. implementing Oklahoma drills Wednesday. morning 6:00 a.m. for guys that weren't.

starters only and it's like that makes. its way around locker rooms and then you. check the record it's like yeah they won. two games that year it's like you think. anybody is looking to go to do Oklahoma. drills at 6:00 a.m. on Wednesdays and. have 14 losses in one season that's. misery compounded so if you don't win. automatically you're just going to get. set aside by your entire roster and it. can end quick as we're obviously seeing. and AQ mentioned obviously but having. your uh your best player you know.

invested in Bal in Tom Brady okay. obviously that's the that's our best. player that's the best player in the. league that's the best quarterback in. the league and every day he's bought in. so he's that you know that Captain that. lieutenant or whatever right under. General and he's fully bought into that. culture so. that's that's going to trickle down so. if if if Brady's bought in if you know. Matt Light if you know Vince wil Fork if. these you know pillars Devon McCord. Julian all these different guys. throughout the years if they're bought. in then that kind of goes throughout the. um the locker room we all been in the.

locker room so that's that's how it. works the players start to police. themselves and hey this is the way we do. things around here and look Monday. through Saturday it's not going to be. great but when you run out of that. tunnel and he runs to the end zone and. does his thing you know you got a damn. good chance like you should win that. football game you feel like that every. Sunday you run out of the tunnel so you. can buy into the and it's. harder when you go and deal with these. other personalities you deal with these. individuals got a lot of money a lot of. them make it more than coach when you in. this locker room it's hard to go. somewhere like if you're man gen or if.

you're Matt Patricia and go to Detroit. where I'm sure Stafford or whoever. they've been doing their thing how they. do it well remember he lost the locker. room at one point yeah you lose you lose. the locker. room there's no getting it back once you. lose there's none what is it what the. like what is this we can't we can't. do I get it out I didn't get it out I. didn't get it out I didn't finish it. that was the record I didn't finish it. that's true actually sometimes good does. let it go if you don't finish it. happened to me I almost I. did you're certainly saying you caught. yourself but my ears my ears are.

saying yes he did I think me and Dick. good are sitting on third base we got to. check the aerial view yeah yep yeah well. there's no review bring them up yeah. dick Goods the review yeah it's. tough look at look at what we're doing. look at our first impression what oh no. ladies and gentlemen joining us now okay. yes sir we apologize we had a s-day. record going best we've ever had this is. the best we we were doing the most.

mature show we have done in so long you. know what I think the reason why it. happened is cuz we're all a little. jacked up today we're all a little Zed. up today absolutely we're feeling real. good today because this is the first. time in this Show's existence now I know. some people just got introduced to us. whenever we came to ESPN and welcome to. the ridiculous show we've been doing. this a long time and you know we have. had a little bit of a falling for a. while we don't understand why either and. this the first time ever that a. commissioner of a league says you know. what I'll go talk to those idiots ladies.

and gentlemen the first and only ever. commissioner of the NHL ladies and. gentlemen Gary. bman uh thank you for having me uh and I. think it's great to be with you I'm. getting used to the look of one of our. sweaters without sleeves I do like it. though and I love the fact that you have. your hockey as awesome segment okay. Commish two things I cut this myself so.

I apologize for kind of disrespecting. one of the tarps I do like I like the. way I breathe out here but if I was ever. get on the ice that thing would be all. the way down I'd have the elbow guards. I'd have the thing I'd do the thing I. would do it all I grew up in a hockey. Town very lucky to say that I think a. lot of people uh that are from hockey. towns would say the same thing so the. hockey is awesome segment is just a very. natural thing for me because there's a. lot of people that don't know the sport. which leads me to this conversation how. do we continue to grow it I know you've.

been the commissions 19 what's that 1990. 93 hey congratulations that's that's. incredible R they're GNA keep me at this. until I get it right well hey we're. continueing to build it feels like we're. in the middle of a boom right now for. the popularity of the NHL how do we. continue that what are some things you. think that you guys are focused on to. get this game in front of more people. because it's the best game on. earth actually the attent that we're. getting particularly from. ESPN uh both for the promotion and and.

production of our games and how they're. being carried and scheduled has been. great the Frozen Frenzy was a good. element of that uh our attendance we're. tracking for record year on attendance. and we try to do things whether it's at. the Grassroots level or I just came from. a press conference announcing the public. sale of one of our outdoor weekend. events we're going to put on two outdoor. games at MetLife Stadium on February.

17th and 18th tickets went on sale this. morning the devils are going to be. playing the Flyers on Saturday night and. there'll be a concert as part of that. evening the Rangers are going to play. the Islanders on Sunday afternoon the. Giants and Jets have been great in. sharing their home with us and so we. want to continue to create ways for fans. to connect with our game and have a. great experience in addition to that. we've been using using technology Puck. and player tracking in particular to.

bring people closer to the game inside. the game and create more data around the. game but things like today and what you. do with the hockey is awesome segment. that helps grow the game and we really. appreciate it no I am a small doofus in. this entire thing who happens to love. Yeah well I appreciate that hey you're. all right by me kamish I'll tell you. that but let's talk about that I. appreciate the kind words and. acknowledgement but lucky to do it let's. talk about that Stadium Series that felt. like a brilliant concept from the very. beginning obviously Pittsburgh Penguins.

have been a part of a lot of them. whenever you go to a stadium outside. it's a spectacle there's more people. it's a different view you introduce that. sky cam drone cam thing whenever you see. the success of the Stadium Series what. is the next steps of it and how do you. continue to make it special I feel like. that MetLife this is a brilliant. Festival weekend almost at the stadium. series met the MetLife games will be. outdoor games number 40 and 41 I I think. uh they're all sold out they're all. unique we dress up the stadium whether.

it's a football stadium or a baseball. stadium and it becomes unrecognizable. because it's very hockey Centric and. it's themed based on the area and the. history and tradition of hockey in that. area uh what What's really great about. it is the Players love it it conjures up. Notions of them as young kids learning. to skate Outdoors on outdoor ponds and. for fans it's there's tailgating which. you don't typically have for an arena.

Sport and we're coming together in. numbers that you're not quite used to. because you know we play in front of 18. 20,000 people in an arena but when you. put 880,000 people Outdoors together. braving the elements it's it's it's. really taking the game back to its. essential roots and people just love the. experience and dealing with the climate. which takes Sports which is the ultimate. reality show in our case taking it.

outdoors and making it even more. unpredictable I was in Edmonton on. Sunday where we played uh the Flames. against uh the Oilers in the Battle of. Alberta which is a 40 somewhat year old. rivalry and the fans that was sold out. with something like 55,000 people it was. 20 degrees out and it was just awesome. yeah it's beautiful and also the jerseys. that get made for the special event it. just feels big you know the NBA's go.

ahead no no and you know we're going to. do a f Fest outside Matti they we're. going to have a concert on Saturday. night probably before the game itself. not just during the intermission it it's. really a celebration of the sport and. hockey in New York you know you've got. the Devils the Rangers the Islanders. we've brought in the Flyers so 90 miles. down the road great rivalries and hockey. is so big at all levels in this area you. know not just at the NHL level youth.

hockey is exploding as well and that's. another way that the game is growing. okay so let's talk about that a little. bit because I think the NHL what you. guys do with expansion teams should be. the standard barrier in and every a. standard Bearer in every other sport you. expand into new cities most recently. obviously Las Vegas they go on to win. the Stanley Cup just 5 years later you. have the expansion draft and you get. great players in there you're at 32. teams right now OB obviously is that. where do you feel H 32 are we expanding.

more are we doing because it feels like. that's been a home run for the NHL and. how do we get more hockey towns so that. that's a great question and I have to. answer it two different ways one uh the. success that that Vegas and Seattle have. had is actually no coincidence you know. our competitive balance based on our. system of the salary cap and revenue. sharing gives us the most extraordinary. competitive balance she you see it in. the races in the regular season to who. makes the playoffs I mean every one of.

our regular season games has meaning in. terms of getting into the playoffs and. then once you get into the playoffs as. we see anything can happen and so we. made the decision the owners made the. decision unlike typical expansions in. every other sport including our own. historically is you you admit a new team. you give them a mediocre draft and. there's initial enthusiasm for 3 four. years but the losing gets old and then. 10 years out the team gets competitive.

we decided because of our competitive. balance we didn't want to bring in teams. that couldn't be competitive Bill Foley. predicted the owner of of the the golden. knights that he would bring a Stanley. Cup to Vegas within six years and he did. it um Vegas is turned into a great. Sports town and hockey town we were the. first ones in uh people ridiculed us at. first they thought we were nuts uh but. we always believed that Vegas which at.

the time I think was the largest city. without a major one of the major four. Sports there and people wanted to have a. professional sports experience and now. everybody else is gravitating obviously. the Raiders came baseball's going to. come the NBA is talking about it I mean. imitation I suppose is the highest form. of flattery in terms of moving forward. we we we get expressions of Interest all. the time we're getting it from Houston. Salt Lake City Atlanta Quebec City.

expansion isn't on the Forefront of what. we're thinking about I take meetings all. the time I listen to expression of. interest I'm not ruling it out but it's. not something we're focused on or we're. pushing to do right now so we like where. we are we think we have a good balance. and you know it also makes us a little. bit different in terms of the. competitive landscape and even. television ratings seven of our. franchises are in Canada and so our. footprint is a little smaller in the US. than the other three Majors but we think.

we're doing just fine and all of our. franchises are stable healthy and. competitive well there's one out there. in the desert obviously that everybody. has to talk about but Phoenix is like. top five city in the country and it's. that City's beautiful and people I mean. it is obviously a fantastic place but. that's a big focal point I think. whenever these new cities are talking. about how they would treat hockey if. they were to we were just in Salt Lake. this past weekend and I know it's been. brought up the people like the hockey is. awesome segment that we do the amount of.

people that came up and were like hey we. love hockey here in South Lake that. hockey is awesome segment is up there. and I'm sure they're not the only city. but that City felt like and we went to. the Jazz game 251 straight sellouts. 18,000 people in that place it's like. those cities see what's happening in. Phoenix and they think it's a crime. almost how do you fix what's going on. with the coyotes and how do you kind of. see that going kamish the coyotes need a. new Arena it's that simple uh and and. you know to go through the history of.

how they got into the situation they AR. is isn't interesting and would take too. long but the point being the current. owner Alex Melo is committed to getting. what he needs done in order to get them. a new Arena and our hopeful our hope is. that sometime this season we're in a. position to announce that there will be. a new arena for the coyotes coming out. of the ground that's the goal because as. you said it's an awesome Market it's top. five or close to it and it's a place we.

want to be and there are great fans of. hockey and of the coyotes and we're. hoping to work it out having said that. that doesn't mean that we wouldn't do. well uh perhaps with expansion in the. future and a place like Salt Lake City. where we know there's tremendous. interest Yeah it's you're in a good spot. it feels like the NHL is in a very good. spot we we've probably never been. healthier as a sport the game has never. been not only more competitive but more. entertaining and more exciting great. young players you recently had two on on.

your show with Bedard and Matthews uh. the skill the speed the entertainment. value as important something that I. track is we're I think we're trending to. set a record from come from behind. victories lead changes were a team that. was losing that comes on to win and it's. getting close to 50% of our games which. makes it exciting and fun as a fan to be. entertaining and as a fan you know. whoever you're root for your team likely.

has a chance of making the playoffs uh. which most sports can't say and then. once the playoffs begin as they said. before anything can happen our. franchises are healthy well uh our. ownership is strong uh the sport has on. all of the metrics that are relevant has. never been in better shape uh we like. where we are but there's always more to. do and we've got to keep moving forward. to make sure the game is healthy that. we're relevant and that we're connecting. with our fans should I call you Gary G.

Mr bman Commish what should I call you. Gary I like the best okay Gary well. everything you just said was a lie about. the Penguins I've been told we're done. this year I've been told we s that's. what I that's what I've been told but I. appreciate where you're coming from. because every game is electrifying and. you talk about how healthy the sport is. how healthy ownership is right now in. the NHL and we're all incredibly pumped. because it wasn't that long ago I guess. two DEC ades at this stage the lockout. happened and I was doing some research. on you because I'm very lucky to get a.

chance to chat with you there are still. some fans I guess that are very mad at. Gary about the lockout but I would like. to say this what did you learn from that. experience and how do you think the. league has become stronger because of. everything that happened then we we we. were fundamentally in a place going back. to' 04 where the game wasn't. entertaining the players weren't having. fun there was no competitive balance uh. we went up losing a season and. collective bargaining didn't go very. well I wish it didn't take a full season.

to convince the union that we needed a. new system we got the system and that's. what's opened up the game because when. teams can compete and all of our teams. can it makes you play to win not play. not to lose and that's why the game's. gotten better and what's interesting is. and I know there may be some people who. still are upset about what happened but. when you look at the shape that the game. is in now there's no question that what. we did for lack of a better set of words.

was worth it but even when we came back. from the yearlong lockout and no sport. had ever done that uh one we set a. record for attendance we had record. ratings um and we had great competitive. balance no business that I'm aware of. shut itself down for a year and came. back stronger than ever and that's a. testament to how great our fans are how. connected to the game they are and the. fact that they understood what we were.

doing and what the end result was and. what we're seeing now in terms of the. health of the game is a function of we. got the system we needed to make the. game healthy hey you should talk your. on that by the way because. sometimes some hard decisions have to be. made and in your seat those ones are. going to affect every single team or at. least one team at it and with where. hockey is I think everybody would accept. the path that it took to get here and. it's only going to continue to grow I. think you should talk your on that. Gary to has a question for you about.

growing the game yeah I do Mr Gary um I. lived in the same city as Sydney Crosby. for 15 years and I don't know anything. about him and now Conor McDavid doesn't. talk a ton Austin Matthews was on the. show but you don't hear the Stars talk a. ton in hockey because I feel like it's. just part of who they are they don't. like to make it about themselves they. like to make it about the team and stuff. like that do you wish the stars of the. NHL talk more put themselves out there. more do you think that would help grow. the game that that's a great question.

and I think. historically our the the culture of our. game was more team Centric than. individual centricity and our guys are. great on and off the ice and the younger. ones and our teams are supportive of. this as a league younger players. understand the importance because they. are genes and they are now putting. themselves out there on social media. more than ever before and it's something.

that we encourage and yeah when you look. at the things that we've been doing road. to the Winter Classic you know the. Stanley Cup videos behind the scenes we. know that fans particularly younger fans. want more insight into the game behind. the scenes and more about our athletes. and how great they are and how. personable they are and that's something. we're encouraging and emphasizing and I. think in that respect the culture of the. game is changing and that's going to. help grow the game as well you're 100%.

right it's just kind of been the culture. I feel like like it's not about me it's. about the team which is very Noble it is. very very. Noble but they also they also get the. world that listen they're younger too. they're part of a newer generation and. they're more instinctively out there on. social media and you know the behind the. scenes stuff that we do and what they're. now doing on social media which is now. being encourag enaged uh I think is one. of those things that's going to help. make fans appreciate the players more.

than they even do and help grow the game. I think there's people that are always. going to be fans of the team for. instance I'm always going to be a fan of. the Pittsburgh Penguins because I grew. up in Pittsburgh my father was a fan of. the Peng my father's father was a fan of. the Pittsburgh Penguins but there's also. a generation that is fans of humans and. they're fans of the people so that. anything that's going to bring him. Austin Matthews was great on our show. shout out to Scottdale Arizona by the. way Conor B was great PK suban was. fantastic Patty maroon has been on the. show he's been good it's like there's a.

lot of great personalities I'm excited. we're getting to learn about him you. know absolutely and the more the more. casual sports fans Not Just hockey fans. get to know our players and the people. associated with the game the more. they're going to love the game and feel. connected to it I'm a mead even though I. was a punter from Pittsburgh father was. a truck hardly go ahead we'll play along. hardly you got it you got it but my dad. bad truck driver you know from. Pittsburgh not scared you know every. once in a while if we have to even.

though I was a guy that punted footballs. a massive part of hockey for a long time. has been fighting has been the. acceptance of fighting of like hey you. disrespected or took a cheap shot on my. guy we are handling this right now to be. honest I think Society kind of needs. that back in moderation in a healthy way. instead of what we become now I know. that you guys have kind of leaned away. from potential the fighting being a. major part of hockey is there a happy. balance there I think there's more.

fights this year than there's ever been. what do you think about it and how do. you guys view it going forward because. for me in a sleeveless hockey. sweater here like love it whenever he. says oh you want to hit my guy I don't. think so we're doing this but I know. there's people that feel differently I. understand that there's people that feel. differently gett there is a balance so. let let's take a step back first of all. when you think about the nature of the. game uh it's high speeed players are. encouraged to make physical contact with.

each other uh it's emotional it's. nonstop and by the way everybody's. carrying a stick um. fighting in in the spontaneous sense. tends to act as a bit of a thermostat. when things happen in the course of a. game and it keeps the game under control. what's really come out of the game is is. the stage fighting and the designated. fighter and part part of that is because. the competitive balance is so intense uh.

teams have concluded you can't have a. designated fighter anymore what you. really need is skilled players and you. don't want to give up a roster spot 80%. of our games don't have fighting fights. in them roughly the other 20% the SP the. fights tend to be spontaneous In the. Heat of the Moment and I think the. game's in a good place with that we're. obviously aware of health and safety. concerns and that's something we've been. dealing with with the Players. Association for decades but I think. right now we're in a good place yes.

fighting is penalized but fighting in In. the Heat of the Moment is something that. has been a good outlet and we don't need. the stage fighting anymore and I think. the game's better without it hey feels. like that's probably the right answer. especially if I was sitting in your seat. but I'll tell you what when the boys. form a circle and he's got the sticks. say have at it boys you know that's uh. your Sport's the only one that has that. your Sport's the only one that has. happens yeah it's going to happen. forever we would assume let's talk about. safety of the game though cuz you just. chit CCH about that there at the end.

obviously devastating thing happen in. the hockey world devastating and I know. in the NHL in Rest in Peace by the way. he was a penguin so we appreciate him. mightily got hit with a skate in the. throat now this is international this is. over in England I do believe there's a. full conversation about did that guy do. that on purpose and he has a little bit. of a rap sheet doing this nonetheless. let's stay out of that let's keep with. you though rest in peace Adam Johnson. let's keep with the NHL there there has. been a conversation of potentially. wearing a throat protector because there.

is sticks and skates where do you fall. on that especially with what is. happening recently in hockey that's. something that's been an ongoing. discussion in terms of safety and. equipment and Kevlar whether it's for. legs or wrists or the neck and to the. extent anything would be mandated it's. something that a there needs to be the. appropriate education and B it's. something we do in con consultation with. the Players Association we we have a. standing committee that meets regularly.

and studies these issues uh and this has. been a topic of ongoing discussion and. it will continue to be uh players are. free to wear Kevlar protection uh for. the neck and and whatever and I think as. part of the evolution it's no different. than what we did with visors it took us. couple of decades to agree to make it. mandatory but more and more through. education players had increasingly been. wearing visors they were coming into the. game from other places as they were.

youngsters wearing visors and we. continue to encourage them not to take. them off and then ultimately we got to. the point where we made it mandatory I. think over time as we continue to work. with the Players Association will get. there as well and as I said there's. nothing to stop players from better. protecting themselves whether it's the. the neck or or wrists or legs from. wearing more protective equipment uh and. that's something we're going to continue. to study and educate on uh but I think.

it's part of the Natural Evolution and. what happened in Europe was nothing. short of a horrific tragedy no matter. how it happened uh and it's something. that I think is raised Consciousness and. and in terms of the Consciousness. raising um it that the discussions are. not a bad thing to happen absolutely. devastating what happened over there. especially for hockey but what I think a. lot of us learned is oh they're playing. leagues over there which leads to AQ. Shipley's question for you Gary yeah. Gary so obviously the NFL's had a ton of.

success over in Europe has there been. any talks obviously you guys have done. some stuff in the preseason but has. there been any talks of growing it more. into Europe and having like maybe an. international series over in Europe we. do that we've been doing that uh last. year we played in Finland uh in November. we have four teams going to play in in. Stockholm Sweden um people tend to. forget two things one that a third of. our players come from outside of North.

America and and these are some of the. most skilled coveted players in in the. world and the fans the hockey fans in. their native countries are always. anxious to see them play in the world's. best League for hockey which which is us. obviously which is why we've been for. for years taking regular season games. and some preseason games to Europe and. which is why we're doing it now the the. other thing is and we're very respectful. of it there are highly developed leagues. in European countries uh Sweden Finland.

cze Russia uh and and so we're very. respectful of the fact that they're. developing worldclass players and we. want try to work collaboratively to use. our games in Europe to help grow. interest in the game worldwide and as I. said that's something that we're going. to be doing again in November in Sweden. uh we just played two as a different. aside exhibition games in Australia and. Melbourne in the preseason so we we are.

probably in terms of the the. demographics of our players the most. International of the four major sports. yeah let's talk about the most. International of the four major sports I. assume you have to deal with a lot of. different international relations with a. lot of these things we do yeah so is. that something you have to act actively. focus on diplomacy whenever you're. dealing with you know you just talked. about Russia they're currently in a war. uh there's some other stuff popping off. like how do you go about dealing with. everybody's different cultures. backgrounds and happenings currently to.

kind of run a you know a nice nice. League we we have to be respectful. obviously uh after the war with Ukraine. started we cut off all of our. relationships commercial relationships. with Russia which was which was many. millions of dollars that we just stopped. doing business with and in terms of our. international relations we're very. respectful at the governmental level of. what our country tells us is permissible. and impermissible uh but we try to have.

relations with the federations that. govern hockey throughout the world we we. have a very strong relationship with the. International Ice Hockey Federation and. we're trying to work together with the. double IHF to get our players back into. the Olympics because in addition to. everything else that our players do. that's important the they love. representing their countries and they. love International best on best and. we're going to try and make arrangements. for Milano Cortina to get our players. back into the Olympics it's a logistic.

nightmare it takes place in the middle. of our season it's very expensive but. it's something that we're working on. because it's important to our players. it's right in the middle of our season. very we hey very important for the game. of hockey too A lot of people watching. that that maybe don't watch NHL because. they're watching Team USA or their own. country but also if this guy gets hurt. like in the international baseball. series buy BL his thing that kind of. affects but yes we are trying to make it. happen because by the way I point it out.

that way uh and and you're right the way. you were sort of paring me but the fact. is it's hard no I hey Gary Gary hold on. we were we were supposed to go to the. last winter Olympics and then coid got. in the way because we had a reschedule. 150 some odd games and we couldn't take. the Olympic break but the fact is we do. want to go because first and foremost it. is important to the players listen we. don't make any money by going to the. Olympics and that's not to be all and.

end all but the fact is in the middle of. the Season you don't see the other. leagues willingly taking that on because. it it changes the momentum of the Season. uh and and because of the composition of. our teams our NHL teams some teams may. send one or two players to the Olympics. some may say send nine or 10 coming back. from a 2 and 1 half week break halfway. around the world means whatever. conditions the teams were in the NHL. teams before the break some are coming.

back well rested and some are coming. back pretty tired and that's something. that impacts the season having said that. if we can make it happen with the I and. the appropriate arrangements are are. made we're going to go Gary I want to. tell you the only reason why I'm saying. that is because I was one of the people. that was like why are they not in the. Olympics like it just seems like such an. easy thing I was very loud about it what. a dumb decision by the NH to do this and. then you just laid out like uh there's. about a thousand reasons why it's very.

difficult but we agree we would like to. be in there so I appreciate that from. you a lot and also I know you have a lot. of things happening every single day the. fact that you just took 25 30 minutes of. your life to talk to these idiots in. this particular room we are so. incredibly thankful. kamish I'm I'm thrilled to be with you I. expect all of you to join me at the two. games at metti the week weekend of uh.

chilly real windy he said no I'm saying. it felt very like Halloween is where I'm. looking around like it was like 20 mph. wind it's cold it started to snow a. little bit it was perfect man I agree. back in the day whenever it would snow. and we go trick- or Trea and it's like. those are the ones you remember you like. that's the that's South Florida ever. snow on N absolutely not how do you go. about your costume you switch it up you. got to what do you mean you're sweating. anyway cuz you're running house to house. you're already sweating you need to be. like 20° yeah we're trying to get from. neighborhood to Neighborhood too we got. to get to the neighborhoods with the big.

homes cuz they're going to give us the. big chocolate that's where we need to. get to so you're hiding you're dodging. you're ducking you're diving you always. think oh maybe this neighborhood's going. to kick us out cuz we're not from here. they're going to know so you're just. always on edge the anxiety's. high thank you K size we knew it and. we're out of there we're not worried. about how cold it is what are you. talking about you South Florida folks. just living a different mindset soft. never worried about that this dude had a. hoodie on when it was 95° yes he did do. you remember that oh yeah that was. absurd mhm how's the golf game though. you look like G solid that's what you.

need South Florida you need to be golf. this this this this little this. right here humbled me and I actually had. my best putting Day Ever uh this past. Saturday okay. here bet you did how many you got how. many what uh one you got a couple. witnesses that would would coign on that. is there another member of the butler. bird absolutely okay yeah sure that's. the last person that will cosign the. last person that would cosign some bull. you're right the butler birdies account. has been fun to follow the whole.

family's getting into the game it feels. like you guys are starting the ball. speaking of ball uh Joshua mcdel might. be balling he got fired middle of the. night last night see you later same with. Dave Dolph Ziggler he's out there as. well now you got Antonio Pierce as the. head coach a man named champ Kelly as. the interim general manager they stick. with Devonte Adams on the trade deadline. they stick with Max Crosby they stick. with their guys that they've paid and. they want to be around now they're. turning over the coaching staff and the. front office yet again what does this. mean in your eyes AJ what are you. thought what are your thoughts I mean. they're paying a ton of money to coaches.

that they fired so that sucks right how. much 40 million allegedly over the next. four years guaranteed Josh mcos might be. a professional golfer over the next four. years or he will work for free with the. New England Patriots this is a classic. Bill bich move we'll let the Raiders pay. him 10 million a year and we'll pay you. nothing you're an intern y so do you. think this was all right to do in season. are you a fan of inseason firings like. this when it feels like hey this is not. not going anywhere we want to go I don't. want anybody to lose their jobs ever. okay now that got written about us. earlier whenever we came over here and.

things happen anybody that wants to work. I hope you have a job we're lacking. people with work ethics so I never want. anybody to ever lose a job especially. people that would like to work with that. being said I'm also a big fan of. ownership telling their fans yeah I. ain't happy with this either you. know and that feels like this particular. move uh because we did see videos. earlier in the season where Mark Davis. was sitting there great hair. unbelievable super cool look and he just. won another world championship yes he. did with the aces just two weeks ago and. he's getting cussed out everywhere he.

goes because of how the Raiders are he's. thinking to himself guys just want our. world championship with the aces you're. welcome brought it to the town nobody's. ever done that and instead all he's. hearing about is these Raiders stink bro. this guy ran Darren Waller out of town. Hunter Renfro doesn't even want to play. football anymore what happened with. Chandler Jones what are we do that's all. he hears probably all day every day so I. appreciate the fact that he made the. move I don't know what it means for this. this year okay what do you think it. means for this year this is a punt year. but they got a lot of money on the book. still yeah I I think it's it's a let's. set our up for next year so next year.

this doesn't spill in and be a disaster. next year and possibly though very very. optimistic that something positive could. come out of this year with Antonio. Pierce though yeah that's what I'm. thinking AQ former player coach one year. two years how many years you coach one. year one and a half yeah with the player. coach you seven months coach for one and. a half years won a Super Bowl that's. right Prett good what's bich che's ratio. years coach super not that not anywhere. near there I don't know put them in the.

hall played and Coach same year. unbelievable Jackie Moon bill ever do. that did that never did he no he didn't. get the funk out of my face get get the. funk out of my face get the funk out of. my face get the funk out of my face. that's Jackie Moon you did and uh Pete. Rose did and he did some other things as. well uh actually confirm he he actually. did uh Antonio Pierce though what are. the chances that he's an incredible. coach you think as a former player now.

Jeff Saturday coming in was not with the. team all year he gets dropped in there. Jim mer wanted to clean house clearly. and he wanted somebody that he had a lot. of trust and faith in to restore the. culture that the Colts were because what. from what he heard I assume all hell is. broken loose late to meetings missing. treatment gambling against the. Indianapolis Colts while you're on the. Indianapolis Colts like everything was. pretty much behind the scenes. somebody would have loved to have that. opportunity Jeff Satur is the one that. was supposed to go turn around he did. not but as a former player stepping in.

this moment what do you think he does. and how do you think he does as the. coach of the Raiders inter room yeah one. thing that's huge with former players. what they do is they hold people. accountable that's the first thing. they're going to yeah but normally. players remember not but I don't players. are normally players coaches remember. too soft I don't think that's ever the. case whenever players are coaching no. it's not because they understand what it. takes right like they understand the. pulse of the locker room they understand. all of the inner workings that maybe the. guys who were never in a locker room. don't understand so I think the first. thing he's going to do is he's going to.

come in he's going to try and change the. culture and the first thing he's going. to do is hold people accountable Hey. listen all this stuff we've been doing. that isn't working whether it's late to. meetings and we've heard in other places. obviously don't know if that's going on. there but if that's the case he's going. to come in he's going to start hammering. the fist right away and then gain the. pulse of the locker room and go from. there and now start to develop the. relationships with the offensive side. now you just try and develop culture. because again we told we said it earlier. you cannot change things Personnel. terminology scheme wise in season you.

got to kind of stick with it what it is. and just hope that we're doing it better. Aiden oconnell allegedly going to be the. quarterback so they're moving on from. Josh Ziggler and Jimmy and just saying H. Tom Brady being the ownership group now. is he officially I think they approved. it didn't they they well I I don't I. just never knew if they approved or not. cuz there was all that trouble I thought. they got to a point where they did. approve it I'm not short I'm not sure I. think cuz I heard a new yeah I think. they approved oh yeah I wasn't sure cuz. the last time it was like why isn't he I.

I don't I didn't think they did because. the last time we talked about it it was. like why aren't they just let them in. the last news I'm seeing was from uh. October 19th is it was still held up so. the reason why it's held up allegedly is. because he's not paying enough money so. they're saying like Mark Davis is giving. this guy too good of a deal which then. leads to like how other teams are going. to be sold in the future it's like Tom. Brady greatest player of all time would. like to get into ownership the person. that owns the team was like yeah it's. fine by me to sell this percentage at. this rate and the rest of the NFL is. like I think whoa whoa whoa no no Tom.

who who cares he's retired is who we're. talking about in this entire thing so. you're right I guess Tom Brady's not a. part of this at all but them moving on. completely from what they thought it was. going to be seems like there's another. you know seems like it's the Raiders oh. yeah Merry Go Ron a long time play. another coach now and then guess who's. going to still be in the division. Patrick Mahomes yeah and then you know. we're going to do the whole and then. guess who's still going to be in the. division not Bron syy Patrick Mahomes y.

still G to be in the division definitely. not Brandon Staley we would assume but. Travis Kel is still going to be there. Andy Reid's still going to be there. feels like there's going to be a lot of. turnover potentially in the AFC West you. know we've already kind of seen it I. assume that happened in the AFC East. when the Patriots were doing what they. were doing because you're literally. staring at the top of the mountain two. times a year and you're just watching it. take place and every owner is going to. naturally say why is that not us that. could be us I need to find it well now. you got to pay Josh MCAS $40 million for.

the next four years those coaches. contracts shout out to those agents with. those coaches contracts figuring that. entire thing out joining us now is a man. who I assume has a thought or two about. this you see him every once in a while. on Sundays on CBS he crushes it on there. he's already in the Houston Texans Ring. of Honor third person ever put in there. whoa he's going to be a first ballot. Hall of Famer very tall but properly. proportioned so whenever you see him on. his FaceTime he doesn't look abnormal. ladies and gentlemen JJ.

wat good. description thank you it was a good. description I try to look proportional I. mean that is a that is a goal of mine. yeah cuz you're overgrown yeah for sure. you know like whenever you see you in. real life you're like yeah this thing is. much bigger than it's supposed to be you. know taller wider seemingly the head The. Jug of the headass is gigantic head just. a gigantic head figuratively and. literally no we don't think you're you. don't think you're an arrogant.

psychopath no he would say but whenever. you look you go this guy's overgrown but. it's like oh properly proportioned. properly proportioned good for him now. let's get it out of the way because it's. right there on your big forehead boy we. can't be losing to teams like Bourne. with we can't those are supposed to be. wins those are supposed to be wins Gumpy. what the hell happened to Burnley I. thought we were supposed to win this. past weekend we're up one nothing top. bins had a beauty I mean just had to. hunker down close it out JJ was there.

for the taking what happened coach our. owner sorry it uh it was a frustrating. one that was that was certainly a. frustrating one you know last game. against brentmore uh against brenford um. was frustrated with that one but then. this one we I mean like you said we went. up one Zer and then uh we they put some. pressure on and we didn't handle it very. well we have a we have a match coming up. today in a couple. in the careabout cup against Everton so. I'm really hoping we have a bounce back. and we show some resiliency and some. resolve here the carab about cup let's.

take down the toies JJ take down the. tofes today yeah nearby uh it's a battle. this is the manager of Everton is the. manager that was previous to our current. manager so it's there's a lot going on. today oh Revenge game in the carab about. B uh the car about. classic that's awesome what is the carab. about classic we got trophy on this. oh yeah big big trophy uh I mean there. there's four or five different. competitions going on at any one time in. uh in English football it's it's pretty.

wild so this is one of those. competitions so we obviously just played. Saturday we played today in the carabal. cup and then we have another Premier. League match this weekend so it's bang. bang bang I got good news I got probably. not gonna be playing on Wednesdays right. is that the uh Wednesdays are the uh. against Tuesdays Wednesday yeah it seems. like that's League Yeah Yeah well yeah I. mean that's that's a little ways away. that's a little ways working towards it. close to top four hey let's goley what. do we.

say how many games we got left cuz I. know we're in that we're in the danger. zone we're in the danger zone right now. right how many games we we're 10 games. in we're 10 games in we got 28 games. left yeah we're we're just G we're. getting everything together we're. building our chemistry we're. understanding the style our coach wants. us to play and we're going to be just. fine oh execution is the problem. here it's uh he he he runs a very. specific style of play and it takes guys.

a while to to understand exactly what. he's asking and to execute it so yes. we're execution is key Gump what's the. style of this guy's running how come. he's not letting his players just play. freely out thr the pitch I mean he. learned from Pep Guardiola so he's. probably doing the same thing but you. get up a goal JJ park it nothing wrong. with putting 11 behind the ball and. getting three points paret absolutely we. last week the defense man it's the. defense is uh we got to step it. up Luton Town lost though you're still.

all right you just got to jump gluten. town you be able to beat gluten. Town everybody knows gluten can't do. anything late in the season you guys are. a closing horse you're a finishing horse. I hope so absolutely yeah absolutely. hell yeah how was Utah guys how was Utah. was Utah good better than Burnley is on. the soccer field for sure I know that I. know that uh no I'm joking Utah was. awesome we just talked to the hockey. commission did you see that I saw that I.

saw that I mean I Was preparing I was. looking over my notes for my interview. so I didn't get to listen too much what. do we got what's the best piece of. insight out of there I'm sure you were. looking over your notes and I appreciate. you preparing so heavily. wow I'm not lying I'm not lying okay um. what did we learn hey Gary B's kind of a. dog dude kind of a the commissioner is. kind of a dog he's first only. commissioner of the NHL obviously in. 2004 they had like their lowest moment. now they're at like their highest moment. it's uh it's quite a build I'm first and.

only commissioner of the NHL what. happened before him everybody's just. kind of running rough shot that's why. like the Red Wings were winning games. and stuff like that back then whoa. that's why they're still winning that's. why that's why that's why yeah that's. why it's the only reason why and 93 came. and all of a sudden the Red. Wings good Mike Vernon I mean what what. a team feder off those guys were awesome. thank you JJ. dogs yes those days are long gone and. they actually started winning when Gary.

was commissioner so that's how that goes. no we went back to back just a couple. years after he he like you don't even. know what you're talking about you. weren't even alive you weren't even. alive shut up Young Buck I got Pat. actually this this brings up a good. point I was having a conversation with. my wife about this the other day and I'm. fascinated by this debate we were. talking best cities for where the. stadiums are located like all the. stadiums together and I was putting. Pittsburgh up on that mount I was like. right around the rivers all three of. them are like you take that overhead. shot with the rivers and the bridges I.

mean there can't be too many cities that. have all the stadiums in that Philly. badass location like Philly does have. that incredible setup where it's all one. parking lot pretty much for all of them. in Cleveland they're across the street. from each other in Cleveland's got that. Jack casino right next to each other. what's that AJ C he's right next to each. other the Reds who are unbelievable. always and the bals on the river too is. Arizona the worst City Arizona is so far. away right everything is like yeah.

Arizona's out there it's 45 minutes away. from everything New York hey your. Diamond Backs also what are we doing. they suck it was a rough game last night. it was a rough game last night guys. there plenty time jeez don't have plent. of time got nine more. T yeah you don't need more than nine. it's night just go go out there play. great hey he heq give us the scotting. report you've been a fan for all of 17. yeah tell us tell us yeah so SeaWorld um. he blew the save game one that was it no.

SeaWorld or our guy our our guy SE world. what about hanky was it I saw poor. umping which we're we're seeing a little. bit poor officiating in the NFL also but. poor umping is there ump issues uh I. think the box is the Box however it is. but I do believe the MLB especially in. this ties back in good the NHL's going. like is I think the NBA is doing the. same thing they go like in and then the. MLB ended end up with you know the. Diamondbacks and the Rangers which I saw. George Bush go out there and Skip One in. at his age the way he was walking had a.

little Vince McMahon oh yeah had little. Vince McMahon struck going out for that. entire thing I know there's some. explosion but I don't know how many. people are paying attention tonight. though we're watching tonight though. watch is there a game tonight it's a big. one this is potentially World Series. winner okay anyways let's get to. football here JJ and we appreciate you. joining us you just talked about. officiating let's talk about not only. officiating but like punishment Mr. Warren of the Pittsburgh Steelers who is. on a rookie contract did not get paid a. lot of money signing bonus not that. large he's getting fined like 50,000 to. tunea like 50 grand for a multitude of.

hits that took place in the game that. both of them kind of ticky tack now. whenever you think about this type. there's one right there running back. is's getting fine for that hit right. there go back to the beginning running. back boom you'll miss it y that fine. yeah you will miss it anytime you got to. watch the play 10 times to figure out. which person is getting fin I think I. think you're messed up all right like I. post posted that on on Twitter and. everybody was like uh which player is it. which which one am I supposed to be. looking at like if we're if we're having. to do that maybe we shouldn't be taking.

the guy's entire paycheck I mean he's. playing for free he's literally going. out there and playing for free two weeks. in a row so there was what do you want. him to do it's a 300lb man well so there. was another hit in that game as well. where he was running down a sideline and. he lowers his head and he hits his. helmet off the shoulder pad so I think. it's the NFL saying like we need you not. to be ducking your head like that but. nonetheless checks and balances with. officiating and everything that's kind. of tying in where do you think we stand. as an yep yep where do you think we.

stand as an NFL and how do you kind of. fix it all JJ and how many times you I. mean I got I got takes I got takes here. um so okay we want to talk about that. weal we just showed the play you saw. that play if that's considered lowering. your head and dangerous like okay that. that's what we want to talk about let's. talk about cut blocks let's talk about a. tight end coming across formation. throwing his head at the. of Aer trying to wipe out his player. perfectly legal according to the rule. book you're allowed to just go wipe. somebody's knee out and try and.

literally the goal of a cup lock is to. blow somebody's knee out basically and. we're going to be okay with that but. we're going to take this guy's whole. paycheck because he tried to block a 300. pounder and he tried to get lower and. use his leverage I mean I there's a lot. of things that I I you know we wear. these Guardian caps in training camp. because it's 10 times safer for. concussions but we don't wear him and I. don't know like there's a lot of things. going on that's like are doing it or are. we doing it you with me JJ yes AJ's.

definitely with you did you see that. second one there a physical sorry I was. too hot yeah okay lowering his shoulder. he's trying to get an extra yard like. what is he just supposed to take the hit. should he just take the hit is this. football are we playing football or not. the hell. St are we like the the discussions of. flag football and like now we're getting. in the Olympics which is great I love. playing football it's a great sport but. like we are literally headed towards. that direction as a league and um say l. i mean if that's what you want to be.

fine just just say it but I I don't I. don't love this like Middle Ground we're. in right now I love the fact that if. somebody had to grab JJ's flag that. thing's like right here oh you know what. I mean that might be an actual Advantage. I in eyesight not 100% sure but I do. appreciate that you alongside a lot of. people that played football that are. like what are we doing to the game we. actually just talked to Gary bman about. fighting in hockey and potentially them. trying to lean it out he didn't say he. wanted to get rid of it which was I. think a big deal for NHL because a lot. of people think health and safety which. we agree be in health and safety for.

players we're obviously a pro player. show and we would like everybody to be. safe but it's like sports are going to. have things that are going to happen. football's going to have things that are. going to happen and I think once the. league acknowledges that we would all be. much better but I think they assume. they're just going to get sued by. everybody if they don't make. progressions we got to figure out how to. keep the game the game though JJ we got. to figure out how sweet is it that the. NHL is just like yeah no we're cool with. it just let it go just these guys are. going to handle it and then they're. going to go and that's going to be over.

like that's kind of badass just let him. do it super badass and they said we. don't mind the spontaneity fights okay. but we can't just have the stage. choreographed goons coming out goons. coming out we don't want that but if. it's spontaneity it's cool and in the. NFL it's like some of these hits they're. flying real quick and then we're. punishing people it's like what do you. want people to do and why do you want to. change the game so much from what people. love to watch like it's just the fines. the fines are really upsetting me also. because you get like like there's.

certain those two obviously he didn't. get penalized in the game and he gets a. fine later and he's got a full game. check taken away and then you have to go. through this appeals process and hope. they give you half of it back and like. it's it's a that's its allone. conversation but now we're talking like. there's these unsportsman like conducts. or like you know TJ takes his helmet off. to that one game and he gets a penalty. and then also gets a fine like at some. point the penalty hurting your team is. the problem we don't need to also go. back I think there's been more than like. nine or 10 million dollar in fines this.

year like it is mindboggling how much. we're taking away from these guys and. where's it going huh can I pick where it. goes charity nope what's charity yeah. charity AJ who who who writes it off who. writes it off AJ have you ever gotten to. write off a fine no I haven't nope. somebody gives it the charity and writes. it off I've never gotten to write it off. what charity too exactly what is the I. believe it's the United Way I Do you. know that that's the first time I'm here. I know I can't I can't prove it I can't.

prove it I don't know well shout out to. United Way I'm I'm all about what. they're doing but I that's first I'm but. no the money comes out of my check and. it's gone I don't know where it is I. don't know where it went I just know I. don't have it I got fined for a lot of. tweets and I don't know where that money. went and I was very wondering you know. like well you got find for tweets in the. league like to the tune of like 75,000. bucks Bud Not Just from your team team. though not the league right from your. team yeah yeah not from the league from. the team from the team oh all right. that's a different that's a different. yeah certainly was I don't know where. the team finds go I have no idea where.

those go yeah I'm sure it went somewhere. really good with a guy that decided what. was your worst tweet what was your worst. tweet they're all still up just know. that that what was I'll go look the. worst one the one that made me decide to. retire and say this League's not for me. anymore I was standing in the equipment. room uh during like the Thanksgiving. break where you know it's a pretty dry. time around a bit everybody's in there. and I'm holding an electrical box Outlet. like this and I'm acting as if I'm. cutting a promo like um Mr Anderson from.

the WWE and I actually just put a tweet. out I was like I'm just waiting for the. WWE to call me and I put a promo out and. I was just bored in the middle of the. day and just put it out one of the. equipment managers a guy who's been with. the college for like 30 years is the one. that took the picture and it was like. yeah all right let's I'm hanging out. with the equipment room I put it out. then I got fined like 10 days later like. uh could have been a whole game check I. was told because this was multiple times. that I've done conduct detrimental to. the team and it was like okay all right. and uh I'm done yeah you don't say yeah.

it was actually it was my profile photo. for a very long time because it was the. reason why I decided to finally retire. I'm like to hell with this guy and this. place I don't want to be here anymore. but then I met Dave Chappelle and it was. like all right I'm gonna take a picture. of Dave Chappelle I'm gonna put that up. as my profile photo but yeah finds. around the league are something that. need to be talked about more because it. feels like there's only one side being. heard and then where's it going I guess. the United Way anyways it should be some. type of scale too like like Jaylen. Warren you know obviously if if he's. making you know $5 million a year you.

should get fin a certain point you're. making league minimum or six or 7,000. like 700,000 you should get fin on. different scale like some guys get fine. in preseason like Juan Alexander I think. he got like a 20 20 something, F in. preseason we not making anything in. preseason we just Googled uh in. preseason we actually lost money playing. in Canada because the taxes could even. imagine if you got fined up there as. well the fines collected are donated to. professional athletes Foundation to. support Legends in need and the NFL. Foundation to further support the health. safety and wellness of athletes across.

all levels including youth football in. the communities that support the game. all right sweet I'd like to see what a. lot of money's come from that so I hope. we're really kicking ass in his support. sure they are why don't DB but to your. to your point dbut that's part of the. reason that like I I am choosing to talk. about especially in like a Jaylen Warren. situation because he's he's a young guy. obviously not making a ton of money and. like he something like that happens. where that's that in my opinion is a. ridiculous find yeah if he speaks out. about it if he says something in the.

media that has a chance to affect him in. his career and also may not get the same. you know pickup I I feel like you need. older guys you need people that have. been through it before to talk about it. so then hopefully I mean obviously this. isn't like this is massive first world. problems guys making a ton of money. getting fined but like I still I I do. think it's ridiculous do you know how. much money I got fined for one of those. tweets I thought it should have been a. federal crime this guy stole from me. this is Grand Theft getting stole stolen. from it was like a $3,000 fine for a.

tweet I'm like this is a federal this. guy is stealing from this is how much my. parents made combined growing up and I'm. getting this for and whenever you dud. you got 30,000 from your own team that's. that's. crazy. buddy start adding it up yeah this isn't. just one I mean obviously I was a. multiple offender but it was just like. Bud yeah I'm not deleting them either. that's stealing yeah that's Ste Grand. Theft I wanted the guy to go to jail I'm. like what is what the hell is going. we've moved past it though anyways AJ.

has a question for you JJ going back to. all the we all all the fines that are. happening for people leaning with their. head or helmet to helmet contact what's. the answer like how do we find the. balance we know there's 17 different. helmets they can choose from that are. super light and have zippers and not. real chin straps and everything is all. Space Age now and has different rivets. that claim it helps with concussions. okay why is there 15 different models. then if one is better than the other but. you can maybe Enlighten us on that but. what do we do what's the NFL supposed to. do here I mean I think I think that.

there's a massive difference in. determining intent like you watch those. two players from jayl Warren he was not. intentionally doing anything there are. there are plays where you watch and like. oh that guy was literally trying to. decapitate a human being like yeah we. want to take those types of hits out of. the game we want to take the things. where there is malicious intent where. somebody is trying to do you know. harm outside of the realm of playing. football those are the things that we. need to find those are the things that. we need to take out of the game when we. start doing these little fines for.

things that happen in the regular course. of a game that's frustrating that's the. same to me why we shouldn't be finding. every single rough in the passor call. because some of those roughing the. passers are a little bang bang thing. that it happens in the course of the. play and sure we got to we got to flag. it but we don't need to find it I think. there's a massive difference in intent. versus just some of these regular plays. who is that ran right that runs that. yeah I don't know I've gotten so many. arguments over the years on a fine. appeal call it's you just get into an.

argument and you feel you're like I can. say anything in the world here and. they're not changing their mind Derek. Brooks handles some of the pills intent. does not matter to them I know intent. should be a part of like I think the. refs which then leads into we need. full-time refs so then they can have a. better feel of the game and what the. intent is like hockey has with their NHL. refs that are kind of a part of it all. that's hey we'll figure it out this show. yeah we'll we'll solve it we're we're. going to get to the bottom of this yes. we are and it's also all of this might.

be why Raj won't come on our show you. know the NHL commission it could be part. of it it could be part of could be part. of the reason I don't know if I don't. know if I'm gonna get cancel an analyst. here soon where they're gonna be like. hey you're talking about stuff we do not. want you to talk about you know what I'm. interested by is when we came to ESPN. everybody I think assumed that we're. going to be told what we can talk about. what we can't talk about because ESPN. has a massive relationship sh with the. NFL obviously you know massive now. granted we're paying multiple millions. of dollars to the NFL as well through. NFL films so we can run highlights on. social media as opposed to just on our.

show so we have a relationship with it. as well but like there's been things in. the past where networks I think have. been scared to say anything because they. don't want to affect future relations. we're just trying to make game better. they know that you know what I mean they. we know and ESPN has said nothing to us. about anything so I appreciate hey you. know shout out. ESPN shout out honestly you know what's. fascinating you know what's fascinating. about that when I signed on with CVS one. of the first question and I guess you're. you being a former player you have the. similar thing that I do one of the first. questions I asked was all right are.

there like topics that they give us that. we're not allowed to talk about or is. there like we're not allowed to say. things and they were like no it's you. can say and so I was like I just assumed. that there was like a list of. blacklisted topics that you can't speak. about listen we're not talking about. Roger Goodell's history of punishing. players we're not doing this we're not. doing all this stuff it's like for us. thus far it has been everything that. they said it was going to be like go. ahead I think it's potentially agents. telling people that go on TV what. they're supposed to say what they're not. supposed to say let's stay away from.

this as opposed to the networks I think. the networks have gotten blamed for a. long time I don't believe it's. necessarily the networks but it might be. the telling the didn't your feed cut out. at a certain time yesterday didn't your. feed cut out at like a very specific one. provider that's fake news don't listen. to everything ml football says on the. internet can't do that that was only one. provider but Aaron did text me he was. like her we got cut off they cut me off. H we got cut off what's that about we. got cut off they censoring me Big. Brother 1984 what's going on guys they. scared a four time MVP hippie Guy saying.

some oh must have hit too close to home. was like we've been told that it was. only one provider and we don't know if. it was one Connor stallions rogue agent. yeah that provider you know kind of. hitting it or if it was just technical. difficulties at the exact same time but. it was not ESPN from what I've been told. let's move along Connor has a question. for you JJ yeah JJ great Michael scar. shirt that's a uh That's a classic also. Level Midnight Lev midnight fantastic. film I mean that's just the office to a. te right there gold face man what a good.

show that show is really good you. yesterday bro like bomb Gardner. uh he's so good on it every time I see. him on Cameo I'm like this reminds me of. the guy from the office and I love him. in that you know and then that guy who's. just like. Dwight Dwight what a character really he. really mixes up Jim when he looks at the. camera oh my God that's great and then. he's in love with the uham she is so. good at the show yeah well but not.

everyone loves Pam really does everybody. love bum Garder yes yes everyone loves. Malone Universal I don't know if I love. b. g got I couldn't imagine why I can't. wait to hear about well it's probably. cuz what I've said about how bomb. Gardner looked at me every time I've. seen him in real life guy always side. eyes me this bomb Gardner guy really I. think he senses that I've never watched. an episode of The Office although I am a. big fan of what they did I love that. they were out there doing it I from what. I've heard it's amazing and I will dive.

into it at some point but I feel like he. sense he always he's always looking at. me literally like this yeah literally. like it's do you encounter him a lot. like are you in restaurants together. often or how does this go once a year. last couple years I've been around this. guy every single time. literally literally doing that yeah I've. never had it and never experienced it. before I'm like this guy's actually side. eyeing me right it was very evident at. Tahoe this year I am on 80 milligrams. right now okay we're at like Taho this. guy actually side eyeing right now am I. punching this guy in the face what is.

going on and that's every combo I've had. with him but Hey Kevin you were great. yeah Kevin you were absolutely great. great shirt anyways let's get back to it. sorry about it Conor no no no please I. mean are you kidding me if we can talk. about the office and Kevin Malone what. why not such a good show I mean I put it. right up there friends yeah you're right. there rest in peace rest in peace rest. in peace I thought we were never going. to do this again right man moment of. silence for him. yeah moment passed I wish I knew more. about him but everybody loved that guy. that's what I learned over the last.

couple days for sure rest in peace all. right anyways Conor to you transition. out of this here you go good luck we had. a moment of silence yeah for a very. beloved guy that was very nice uh just. to kind of stay in the same vein there. was a guy that was killing people on. Sunday against the Panthers with the. Texans believe his name is John greenard. might be greenard not exactly sure is. this guy out of nowhere I mean. everyone's focused on Will Anderson is. Johnny Greener the new face of that. Texans D line or what.

JJ first off it's Jonathan grard I you. so close so close can't trust that gosh. translate said Greener well spell but he. uh he had a great game two and a half. sacks um he's been playing really really. good football I me here just go ahead. just knock the guy straight on his ass. right into a sack I mean what a great. feeling that is and uh but the thing. I'll say about Jonathan Gard he's a. great guy he was there down there when I. was playing and uh just continues to get. better continues to work and he just had.

he just had a baby a couple weeks ago. and the thing that I've learned about. Dad's strength is you turn into a. monster on the field because there's a. new sense of purpose there's a new sense. of and he turned into a monster he's got. two and a half sacks this pass game. alone and he's just throwing grown men. to the ground so shout out John grard I. love giv shine the guys that don't. necessarily always get it and we're. giving it to John Gard today yeah. especially for the Houston Texans it's. going to mean a lot coming from you that. celebration right there tells me maybe. he's a q I'm not 100% sure uh that is.

correct I believe his rookie show uh he. did the the Q Dog Dance it was pretty. pretty very. uh very pretty cool cool very cool and. also uh you don't you don't know how. many qes are in the room until rookie. stands up in the front and starts doing. and it's like like oh in the back like. coaches yeah you see an assisting coach. for the running backs just like sitting. back there and then all of a.

sudden it is awesome it's always. electrifying have no idea what's coming. but it's like all right that the hakka. somebody do does the haka for the rookie. dance that is gonna hit man how. about they did one in Utah this part I. start the show it was fantastic. fantastic shout out to granard you. no sorry look AI are telling me what to. say and Greener is what it told me this. ESPN telling you the wrong stuff we just. talked about ESP not telling you dbut.

has a question for you JJ we stay in the. AFC South somebody else who I think. doesn't get enough shine absolute dog. Jeffrey Simmons in those sweet. Throwbacks had another dominant. afternoon uh what what should we know. about him that uh most casuals. don't I mean true NFL fans have known it. for a long time he's consistent he's. great he does it every single year he's. a very very good player casuals I don't. know if fully understand and appreciate. what Jeffrey Simmons has been doing for. years in Tennessee um and yes the.

uniforms looked spectacular so good best. in the league gorgeous come on that but. I mean just guy just makes plays man. he's he's dominant he plays The Run he. does he's in the pass game he's got a. double swipe here comes around. just get the ball out I mean just the. guy's a great player he deserves more. shine than he gets and uh he's he's a. guy that's been doing it for a long time. very consistently just a solid solid. player I was watching Inside the NFL. last night on the C W oh really found it.

watching it Jeffrey Simmons was miked up. and he was doing a lot of like I told. you guys in training camp about will. Levis y like he was talking up a lot. about what he saw from his arm and what. he was able to do seems like will Levis. is one over I mean I feel like you went. over Jeffrey Simmons you probably won. over the entire defense at least maybe. the whole roster but in the m up that I. saw he's very much like yep we got a guy. and then we asked coach Rabel how to T. after. bomgardner side eyed me we as Rabel if.

he thought he could beat up every coach. in the NFL and he scoffed at us with two. cigarettes in his mouth and an entire. dip of entire tint of Zin and cope I. think at the same time with a vape in. between the two cigarettes kind of. scoffed at that and I said you think you. can still beat up players and he said. yeah I said you can beat up any players. on your team he's everybody but Jeffrey. Simmons is what he said pretty much so I. think he's got the respect of everybody. JJ or Jeffrey so bra's coach competition. I mean it's got to be Salah Ryan MC.

Staley that would be a great like. fourway cage battle take down yeah yeah. but you got to think about Bill bich. McDaniel exactly bich coming in there I. think late Scrappy G and a kill hungry. Andy Reid after he had a cheeseburg day. we were uh we were practicing at the. Green one year we were doing our. training camp at the green green Brower. and the Patriots were coming in for a. joint practice with us and I went in the. Wai room one morning to do my workout.

and belich was in the squat rack man it. was sweet damn it are we still. alive damn it that's two show no mine. didn't go. through I said it quiet I said it quiet. I said it really Qui matter yeah we. heard it it was your outside voice JJ. but to be clear right situation to use. it you should build bich squatting. that's something that certainly can. maybe get you past a filter or two but. yeah we saw that photo of him Squad it's. actually on a t-shirt now at this point.

I think that because it was the Eagles. he had actually two big I don't know if. there were 45s but maybe like 25s on. either side yep 45 35 on there I think. didn't he 315 yeah no yeah he had 25s on. the end but then he had 3 45 plates. inside of those 25 all right I mean if. that's how we're going to Bill does not. like that we're lying about. this I remember the picture I saw JJ you. were there 315. 315 brother I don't are we talking about. the same photo I don't think I don't. think I a photo of it did I take a photo.

of squats every day so well if you took. a photo of it we owe you some money. because the shirts did well yeah they. did shirts did really well cuz much like. you anytime you see him on a squat rack. you go well that's absurd I like to see. that again and then you buy the shirt. and then are you guys still getting in. the squat rack yeah every day you still. getting in there yeah yeah digs has not. been under a bar in a decade um a who. squat the most out of this group oh look. at this who said 315 who said.

315 I saw a different one I saw a. different one he was doing maybe. 375 just real quick you go back exactly. what I said exactly what I said about. this photo from how many years ago was. that whole thing I two years ago sian's. first year as head coach hey Bill I have. respect for you pal I'm not gassing up. and lying about you you're resume is. already good enough like these guys are. lying about Waring up I'm not up I'm not. lying there's other. stories there's other stories what are. you saying that was. 95 he's 90 years old he's lived in the.

same years he's been on Earth yeah. you're skinny now shut up you're SC what. are you squatting today put you under. the S. yesterday I I can still do well over 400. what did you do yesterday though wow I. did uh 275 for three sets of 15. yesterday w we taking his word yeah I. don't agree it's a shipyard a lot of. lies happen they don't flush the toilets. there's been pissing for two weeks uh. but we did lunges this morning this. could be my new thing I've heard this is.

the real cheat code to keeping yourself. in shape I'm not going to be able to. stand up from the dumper later I don't. know uses suck dude gosh are they the. worst are you still squatting. yeah yeah no I squat I do lunges single. leg reverse like a reverse single leg. man anything single leg has got to be. the best but also Al like just the thing. hate to do the most Bulgarian split. squats mhm best Bulgaria man yes yeah. the Soviet the Soviet.

ones is that what you're talking about. you're talking about the Soviet Turkish. getups with the kettle. bells oh Turk this getups yeah yeah AJ. AJ how many years you been retired AJ I. don't know six s now I don't know so AJ. still every morning does like team lift. 5:30 def person whose answer I wanted. like what what's your squat right now AJ. that all depends on how much carage I. feel like I have in my right knee but uh. you know it's different I mean I'll do.

just like basic 315 for six or something. do five or six sets but then if I feel. good I can put more weight five or six. sets I'll do it 3:15 30 times at 5:30. a.m seven years after all depends on how. you feel you know knes knees don't. lunges lunges are not in my repertoire. at the moment I fall down if I try to do. a lunge with no weight so yeah yeah they. were tough I'm be honest I don't think. I'm going to stick with them but The. Internet's been telling me they are the. cheat code I tried them this morning I. don't know if they're going to carry. into tomorrow cuz I'm going to be very. sore how long are you going to do this. uh you know this whole I'm still a. player lift thing JJ I do not know I I'm.

very I'm I'm in a very interesting place. trying to figure it all out like I can't. let it go um but I know that some point. for my long-term Health it's better to. switch up the Styles yeah um but I. really I really can't figure it out I I. honestly don't know exactly how I should. be seeding with my workouts cuz I every. time after I do a big good lift I feel. great like it it makes me feel like a. yeah like I'm actually doing something. so I can't let it go and then the next.

day you're like why did I so there's no. reason you're you're so right I mean. when you go to the when you go to the. bathroom that's when you know like. yesterday's workout was a really good. workout because I can't stand up for the. well I love the fact that you're. still 20% lift 15% GD 40% H power do you. hate that scene you got it you got it. you got it you know you got it I don't. know the words as well as you do you. hate that scene did you hate that. scene I mean I I don't I like I.

definitely there's I mean anybody tells. you you don't have regrets in life is. probably lying and there's things yeah. there there's things I do differently. yeah bull yeah but I will say a lot of. us said look at that Mach there a. machine uh AQ has a question for you. about another machine JJ so Nick Bosa. only has two sacks this year but he's. got like 45 pressures right so everybody. saying he's having a down year but can. you talk about the difference between. pressures and sacks and kind of which.

stat you think is more. important uh yeah for for most important. I will always go with sacks because it. is a true end result of a play and it's. quantifiable to say like you know this. guy got home and did it now there's. definitely I I love to say any pass. rusher will love to tell you they don't. ask how you got them they just ask how. many um you generally say that after. you're unblocked or the quarterback. falls down and you get the sack cuz. we'll take him however you can get them. um but pressures versus sacks pressures.

are obviously massive because they can. force interceptions they can force a. quarterback into bad decisions uh. there's all different things that they. create um but it is interesting to to. look at this 49ers defense and to know. that they're not putting up the numbers. um that they normally put up with all. those guys they have on that side of the. ball to be on a three-game losing streak. with the offense and the defense that. they have um it's certainly curious and. you go out there and you watch and now. they bring in Chase young obviously and. it's kind of one of those situations. you're like don't they already have an. embarrassment of riches at defensive.

line um but they aren't getting home so. it's they come in bunches and I would. imagine once they start to get rolling. they're going to have Nick BOS will. rattle off a couple two or three sack. games no problem but I I know how he. feels right now and when you're sitting. there this deep into the season with. only two and a half you're itching to. get there you want you want that one and. sometimes you start to reach a little. bit because you know people are. expecting it from you so he's just got. to keep playing his game he's got to. keep going out there and getting after. it and they will come yeah we assume BOS. will figure it out whenever it's needed. he's a big time player for a reason they.

paid him the contract for the reason. still getting pressures but hey let's. get home speaking of getting home hey. Tibido three times and the Jets Giants. metti Bowl this guy obviously highly. touted coming out of college was. supposed to be the number one overall. pick but he liked to use words like. litty and he he was this guy is weird. that's what was being said about him. through the draft process and we know. the draft process brings a lot of. but for him it was certainly. louder it felt like than anybody else. he's now in a system with wink where it.

seems like he's played his best ball. this past weekend biggest game he's had. what did you see from gavon Tibido and. what do you think the future is for this. guy yeah I mean I've I've seen it just. like everybody else you know New York. City is a place to play where people are. going to scrutinize every single thing. and they've been waiting for this guy to. go off from the beginning um he's. sitting there at eight and a half sacks. on the year now I mean he's in the top. three for sacks um he's just he's. playing good ball he's getting after the. quarterback he's got some moves that are. coming along he's got some power he's.

got some speed uh they obviously have. dogs on that defensive line I mean Dex. Lawrence incredible um and this this is. what they want to see from him and if. you can do this consistently in New York. you can turn into a superstar and uh. it's a lot of fun to watch he's he's got. that motor right there that's a perfect. example. tried inside didn't work so he comes. back outside comes around makes a play. and he knows it um and then obviously at. the end of the game we all saw the. situation with the offsides and he.

posted the video was it off sides as a. pass rusher I feel that pain I know that. pain so you're saying not off sides he. started leaning his upper body before. his lower body started going and he has. it right down the line and sorry about. it sorry about it he said man. everybody's letting the offensive. tackles do it everybody's letting the. offensive tackles do it but a guy who. has three sacks can't get his fourth why. do you offensive lineman always have. such an advantage why do the refs always. try to screw the defensive ends AQ I. don't see anything wrong with that play. I I'll I'll take his defense there. nothing wow that's.

never that's big wow very mature you. timed it up that was perfect who is this. guy AJ go ahead pal JJ I I I'm pretty. sure they changed the rules on when you. how you can hit a quarterback during. your time when you're were playing to. where you couldn't land any weight on. him and when that happened like how. difficult was that to do because I feel. like guys actually they're very. conscious of it now you see them like. bracing their arms I mean some guys I'm. sure have hurt themselves trying to not. land all of their weight on a. quarterback or or even a receiver or. Ball Carrier but how difficult is that.

to do in the moment yeah it it certainly. is difficult to do I will say if you're. conscious of it you're cognizant of it. and you know what they're looking for. you can be very successful at it you can. actually earn yourself the opportunity. to hit him more and get a little more. leniency if you know exactly what. they're looking for it's something that. I as I was learning those rules um. started to figure out okay is it one. step is it two steps it's actually like. one and a half to 1 and 3/4 if you do it. properly if you hit him and you roll off.

or if you hit him and you clearly put. your arms out to brace yourself the ref. is going to give you a whole lot more. leniency than if you hit him with your. shoulder and you kind of take him down. to the ground so you really have to. learn how to do it but one of the. reasons I had so many quarterback hits. in my career was I found where that line. was and then I was constantly pushing at. that line but not going over it and uh. those hits affect quarterbacks like any. quarterback will tell you the more hits. they take you know you start to think. about it it starts to get in your head a. little bit um so I always tried to make.

sure that if I had the opportunity to I. lay those hits into him and I we would. always talk in the D line room there' be. guys that lay up because they're like I. don't want to get the penalty I don't. and i' tell them no that was one where. you could have gotten away with that hit. um anytime you get that shot you got to. take it yeah I love the fact that both. offensive linemen are trying to cheap. shot you guys guys and you guys are just. trying to dance on the line hey is this. football is there a Competitive Edge. potentially but also mental Warfare if. you're right at the feet of that. quarterback every single time and. natural human thought at some point is.

like wow 99 is real close 99 is real. close so if there's a play where you got. them single blocked it's like all right. all of a sudden things are a little bit. quicker not only you win the physical. battle you're winning the mental one JJ. I like that about you nobody talks about. how smart that big head is it's there's. there's a lot of air up there plenty of. space well you need to take all that air. and put it towards Burnley not playing. great but a team that showed up for the. first time long time Tai has a question. for you yeah JJ we're just a couple. weeks removed now from people saying.

like hey the Broncos are hammered dog. they suck they gave up 70 points to. the Dolphins they need to fire Vance. Joseph right away granted Patrick. Mahomes was very very sick on Sunday he. was had FLW he was I that's what they're. saying but they the Broncos made him. look terrible uh. what has been kind of the key to their. Resurgence do you think that was more a. product of them just being in the. division and knowing how to play him or. is that something that's going to kind. of carry them through the rest of the.

season here I think you look at it as a. trend I mean obviously it was four weeks. ago now that they gave up 70 to the. Dolphins and everybody wants Rance. Joseph and the whole defensive staff. gone and um everybody's asking you know. what's wrong but if you look at the last. three weeks I I believe they haven't. given up more than 20 points the last. three weeks and then they obviously hold. one of the best offenses in the NFL and. Patrick Mahomes um to save for a victory. there so I think there's a part of it. that certainly is the team figuring it. out I mean they have a new head coach in.

Shawn Peyton they have a new. d-coordinator in vance Joseph you do. need time to understand the systems to. build the culture to do the things that. you want to do um and sometimes it just. doesn't happen that fast so these guys. are now starting to fly around they're. starting to play a little better they're. starting to force these takeaways um. they're putting these guys in tough. situations so I think there's certainly. a part of it that is just it takes time. to figure it out and for you to. implement your system and so it'll be. interesting to see going forward if this. defense continues to get better and. better every single week and I think I'm. a guy that if everybody wants to crush a.

coach or a unit early in the year like. they did and rightfully so after a 70. point somebody's hanging 70 on you yeah. you're going to take a little criticism. but when they turn it around you got. also give them their credit there. Patrick mahs though did have IVs all. night you know he was sick just like mt. hassle against the Houston Texans back. in the day and as we wrap up this. beautiful time here on this glorious. trenches commissioner Wednesday on jpn. journalism Sports Network we'd like to.

I love the guy hey thank you Debo. Pittsburgh is very happy for Debo not. only what he did on the field how he.

represented himself but also saving DJ. watt's life exact sounds like tree not. allergy I don't think I've ever heard. that like that's uh the nut allergies. are a big oh yeah yeah it's really. really scary man we were in Rome one. time we did a my brothers and I we did a. little European Vacation just the three. of us and we went we're we're idiots uh. two two part the story I'll show you how. big of morons we are so we're going. we're at the pantheon which uh we're. going in we're checking out the pantheon. and we're standing in it and TJ goes hey. I've I've heard one of these buildings.

around here has a hole a huge hole in. the roof I want to go see that one can. we go see that one next and I literally. just said dude just look above your head. it the pantheon is the building with the. giant hole in the roof we were literally. standing underneath the hole okay. classic where's my glasses they're on. your head type situation love that TJ. wat. great and then we went to lunch and he. knows he has a severe trite allergy and. I do also none of us were aware of the. fact that pesto is made purely of tree.

nuts um so he ordered a massive pesto. pasta dish and literally stopped. breathing at the table and we had to get. him to the Italian hospital it was one. of the scariest experiences my entire. life cuz they wouldn't let me go back. with him either so they took him back. there when he literally wasn't breathing. and uh for about 45 minutes to an hour. Derrick and I had no idea if he was. wasn't going to make it this was. probably. 2014 is 20 yeah does he have to car.

man yeah but he he won't do it I'm like. dude where and that was eventually it. got to that point where the doctors they. didn't speak English he didn't speak. Italian so they kind of they they did. like the motion like EpiPen motion like. do you have one and he was like yes and. they said use it and so he just St TJ. stop skimming your own pool yeah and. let's stop with the tree nuts okay. football need you Pittsburgh need you. and obviously the watt family and. friends need you that's wild how many.

JJ so I with blue dots on him a little. blue dot um I saw so like when they. first put out I don't know when ESPN. they put out that report the very first. report saying Michigan uh has a scout. that went ahead and they're now being. investigated I under that post I wrote. yeah that's called scouting everybody. does it uh to which many many many. Michigan people were like yeah yeah many. athletes were like yeah that's scouting. and I was I was like yeah gosh I'm so I.

beat the. game yeah like and now stuff's coming. out and people are people keep bringing. that back up and sending me screenshots. of it and I'm like yeah there's a chance. it might have been just a little bit. more than than just scouting yeah. getting pretty interesting out here with. fake goatees and sunglasses and Jim mne. obviously said I I didn't even see him I. missed that what do he say I saw it but. I didn't get to watch it what' he say. pretty here here's what he said it's a. quick video but he pretty much is like I. don't know what happened out there here. it is you before we go any further um.

okay we've obviously aware of a picture. floating around with the the shark thing. the whoa the sign Steeler guy aid. fisherman um you know our people are. doing everything they can to get to the. bottom of it um we're unaware totally. unaware of it I certainly don't condone. it uh in any way shape or form and uh. you know I do know that his name was on.

none of the passes that were let out um. now we just keep tracing it back and. tracing it back and try to figure it out. but it's in good hands with our people. um and again uh it's in good hands you. know there there's there's no place in. football for that it's in good hands. we'll take are people Hey listen I know. these people do you know him from listen. I don't know how know ended up here no. no does the coach know him if a guy's in. the sideline wonder if someone's like. hey who's that guy over there the guy.

front of me for most of this even look. he's standing with his legs together too. so he can hide behind crazy like it's. like he's behind a tree or a telephone. Bowl I didn't know this that might be. the worst one right there this clip. right here this might be the most good. it's so good all right what is happening. we don't know but it's only getting. better and Pete th is going to be the. one at Forefront of all of it and we're. very thankful for that JJ this ball goes. in you'll give 10 people. $500. y all right all you got to do is retweet.

November 1st 2023 hour three of this. program starts now football it's awesome. that man is won a championship in. football at the college level and the. professional level he also has one of. the greatest jawlines in the history of.

homo sapiens ladies and gentlemen AJ. Hawk Ain all right AJ you still working. on that jawser size just in case. somebody tries to get you one night. while you're walking around with Axel. and team yep we are always always trying. to get better over in this household. that's right Pat yeah you Che on that. Dodger size get a PA to. come yeah maybe I do no we've seen it. well you did it on air bet you do uh no. I'm not going to do it on air I don't. know what that means comment I don't if. you have some like ill ill will towards.

that comment or if that's you know toxic. in any way but yes I know F who was a. high up at ESPN also loves it as well. instead it helps him with headaches. later in the day F has a great jawline. as well he was a professional soccer. player bet you do was call back the Jim. roome Chris Everett I believe yeah Jim. Everett kept calling him Chris. see that's on me Jim I do apologize. because the way I remember his name was. Chris he flipped the table he did he did. Chris is a famous tennis player that's. why it happened Jim football player.

baseball yes of course of course he's. football was a quarterback Jim Everett. quack quarterback Jim ever quarterback. yeah oh so I was right Jim Everett's. also a baseball player too so well so. you can see how Jim R would maybe be a. little confused what do you want from. the guy he's in the jungle every single. day it's insane uh talkx tables here at. BOS Conor and at Tai Schmidt nobody. swung on us Connor that's good thus far. yeah not yet I I assume it's coming uh I. mean I said some pretty mean things. about Jim Nance last week I I yeah there. was no reason for that I think he's like. notoriously loved like universally loved.

yeah well his charity event led to one. of the most disrespectful things that. has happened in Boston in the last two. decades but AB Tony Romo it's not him. his event but I agree it's not. him what that's you need not you need to. not lump Jim Nance in with with what. Tony Romo said at that. event only time I ever see Tony you know. what Tony said AJ Tony had one night. where he's boozed up and said something. a little bit morly boozed up is putting. it a little lightly but yeah oh he's.

drinking Coronas this his Tony line he's. drinking more than Coronas he's drinking. komos you know what it is exactly how. has that not been the should be that. should be the commercial well the coromo. is actually the corona with about half. of it filled with vodka well I have met. people that do that I don't know if it's. necessar the right move I would like to. say I'm I'm enjoying the hell out of. Tony Remo on these games again you know. what I mean I'm enjoying the hell out of. Tony Remo way to sit in the pocket and. Tony's always been known to do that yeah. sit right not good news for his back. ever but he will sit right in the pocket.

stare down all the critics and do his. thing one half of the hammer Cowboys. tone Diggs is here tone now that we're. done with the weekend what do we need to. know about the gambling the books are. hot right now right the books are hot. right now um the most fascinating stat. that I saw gambling is that mcdc okay he. just coached his he just got over the 50. game Mark since 1990 he has the best. against the spread record in the entire. NFL ever through 50 games thank you MC.

love that guy guy's just a dog you spend. money on the Lions you bet on them they. want to show up for you and also this. means the sports books had no respect. for mcdc for a long time with the. spreads probably they saw him non. kneecaps at the beginning wear a a Indie. Car helmet at the press conference this. guy ain't going to be able to win any. games he's he's a stch so then the books. weren't acting appropriately and people. are taking advantage of it and Michigan. legal Sports gambling State oh yeah so a.

lot of money has been made off of mcdc. as well we need to ride that big. stallion mcdc into this thing him and. lions are currently on a 15 and three. against the spread run what yeah pretty. good uh and then the other thing that's. dominating thank you. mcdcc is the unders they are 7150 and. one this year 19-7 on prime time are the. unders yeah you love the good Prime Time. under I do and we it's funny because you. know we always come in and we talk about. it and we're like that game sucked last. night and that's cuz it went under. normally it's how people think about the.

games and stuff like that if it was low. scoring the game sucked it's been a. twoyear period now where it's been a lot. of prime time Prim Time unders 19 and. seven this year okay you love a good. under too yeah why not it's awesome. it'll change you love a turnover on. Don's in the Red Zone you love a nice. fumble at the goal line that's a. Touchback instead of a touchdown love to. yeah punts more of them you love. everything about it also I also love I. don't know if you saw last night maxtion. is back and it was back in about three. inches of snow up in Michigan so I do. appreciate the fact that uh Jacksonville. State said we'll open midweek football.

like three weeks before the maxtion. Tuesday comes back because it's been. nice to turn on a game last night. obviously the Optics were the beautiful. uh part of it but maxtion back in the. middle of the week is good gambling for. us because tone Diggs will be deep in. the weeds of a nice Tuesday night or. Wednesday night game for us in college. football very much so and I think Bruce. said it said it best Conference USA can. have the nice weather Tuesday Wednesday. games early in the year when maxtion. comes in we won't rain hail sleep snow. all those beautiful things that comes. with Max and a lot of unders yeah yeah.

yeah sounds like what tone digs just. bumped up about uh nine-year NFL vet. host of The manto Man podcast and. everything DB darus J Butler is here. dbot we haven't talked about it much. razul Douglas got traded immediately. after we went off the air yesterday. which we kind of said was going to. happen we're going to stop and then. somebody's going to be traded although. the trade deadline produced some massive. events Josh dos new starting quarterback. from one place to another that's a huge. deal razul Douglas though going from the. Green Bay to the Buffalo Beals. immediately after we end that's sneaky.

massive play right for the Buffalo Bills. could be they need they needed another. Corner they want to play Man coverage um. we obviously know they lost travius. white uh Kyra Elum their first round. pick from a couple years ago he's been a. healthy scratch uh for a few weeks so. obviously got to figure out you know. what's going there as far as you know. developmental wise and getting him on. the field but getting a guy who's been. around who can play inside who can play. outside who can press who play off rul. Douglas is a smart player and it was. it's funny I saw saw a little sound bite. of him and Josh Allen uh you know.

talking a little oh chirping a. little bit now they teammate so you know. speaking of that everybody says Rosell. great teammate so he's getting dropped. in there he's going to mix in blend in. well and that's the type of player you. want on team somebody on the other side. talking to you on your side you're. talking back now we're all together. 12E NFL vet Super Bowl champion AQ. Shipley's here other big news of. yesterday after we went off the air. first official college football playoff. top 25 ranking joining us now fresh off. a call of one of his 10 jobs is the. voice of college football for the last. 28 years Kirk her.

stre Herby okay let's get right to it. because we know you're very busy and we. thank you for taking time on this. glorious Wednesday with a game tomorrow. game Saturday and also college game day. in there I know you're in the middle of. prep let's dive in what did you see last. night from the first official top 25 and. how should we be viewing this because. it's hard to obviously project what's. going to take place for the rest of the. season let alone any Saturday for. college football but what does this mean. and what did you take away from last. night's first edition first of all. everybody needs to be pissed off. everybody needs to be mad everybody. needs to just be hate everybody that's.

what the first rankings me college. football baby college football that's. how we roll that's how we roll um you. know what it means is I think that this. committee is looking at the resume and. um I understand it I uh I think that one. thing that I always think about is this. is subjective so how AJ breaks it down. or you do or anybody looks at it it's up. to you so it's up to it's your own. rankings what do you look at I I happen. to look at I think the uh resume is very.

important like Ohio State going to South. Bend at night and winning that's a big. deal uh you know Oregon beating Utah in. Utah tough place to win that's a big. deal uh Washington beating uh Oregon at. home big deal so all the Texas winning. and tus Los those are all big things but. uh I think also a big thing is who's the. best team this is not about putting the. most deserving teams in at the end of. this when the dust settles it's about. putting the best four and I think that's.

where the argument has always been with. the college football playoff I think. there are a lot of people that want to. put the most deserving teams in how do. you evaluate most deserving if it's all. about being undefeated everybody should. play Mac teams or below in the. non-conference and Texas should never. play Alabama what's the point if it's. just about being undefeated why the hell. am I going to go to Tuscaloosa and go. play Alabama like why would you play. anybody which is not good for the game.

it's not the kind of games players want. to play in it's not the kind of games. that fans want to watch so I I have a. special place in my heart when I see. teams that are willing to go out in the. non-conference and play somebody and. even if that team sucked that year three. four five seven years ago whenever they. scheduled them it's a massive power five. opponent that at least they attempted to. try to schedule so to me they are. differentiate differential aspects of. this that when you get to the end of it. you can try to separate teams in that.

cluster for right now no issue if you. have Ohio State at one because the win. against Penn State the win against. Wisconsin of course the win against. Notre Dame I think that's why they're up. at the top you can make a very strong. argument for Georgia to be at the top. because they're coming off their best. week of football I think a lot of people. think they're the best team when they. play up to their ability and you can. make a strong argument for Michigan they. haven't played anybody but they've been. the most dominant in all three phases so. we're splitting hairs at the top the. cool thing is Pat all these teams.

literally in the top 13 control their. own destiny it's all in front of you you. win your games you're going to be. exactly where you want to be it's not. worth getting upset about right now go. out and win and and you're G to continue. to climb the ladder yeah and I think. that's a beautiful thing about college. football or football in general but if. you're ranked up there fan base has got. to be pumped that you're already getting. a head start on potentially making it in. the college football playoff but if you. lose it doesn't matter at all AJ your.

question for Kirk Kirk do you think uh. it matters what the games look like or. what your wins look like especially at. this point before this first poll like. how do you think hey oh they don't look. like they should they're not blowing. everybody out if you're one of the top. teams yeah I well I think Ohio an. example of that I mean you and I know. Ohio State pretty well over the years. and I think as much as I want to jump up. and down and say Ohio State's the best. team in the country you know we're we're. alums and we're fans and we we that's. our team but we're also honest you know.

I think right now Ohio State's playing. great defense I think Ryan Day deserves. a lot of credit because he's gone from. being a guy that's scoring 45 or 50 a. game with CJ Stout and andh the offense. that they've had over the years to now. they're winning with defense and they're. running the ball with trevan Henderson. and they're they're being careful with. their P game they're throwing it to. Marvin but they're not quite being the. offense that you're used to sing and. they deserve a lot of credit for that. there's different ways to win but are. they that same offense that you just.

guarantee he's going to score 45 they're. going to throw it all over the yard. they're growing to try to become that. but that's not who they are yet so I. think the the committee looked at those. wins that you're referring to and said. nobody's got a better resume so because. of that put him up at number one and I I. don't think you can have uh you could. you can defend that um but like I said I. think you could defend Georgia you could. defend Michigan they they're at this. point in the season we're not even just. getting to. November um I I think we're we're this.

system was built to get to December not. November so it's easy to kind of get. upset and it's easy to kind of find. inconsistencies but at the end hopefully. it all makes sense to Echo the statement. a little bit there you think about. Florida State at four they just had. their best game they beat the hell out. of wake Washington the last two weeks. yeah you know like that Washington win. over Oregon is huge that's a massive win. but you watch them the last two weeks. they have not looked their best Florida. State's coming off their absolute best. game in Oregon looks like an absolute.

buzs saww very excited and thankful to. be a part of it alongside of you every. single weekend can't wait to get down to. Alabama good luck tomorrow night in. Pittsburgh and we'll see you in tuscala. pal awesome brother appreciate it sorry. I was a little bit late I was just. talking to coach Tomlin it took a little. time there. yeah don't let it happen again B coach. Tomlin you got to call his game tomorrow. night lock going on that building you. tell him to shut up and you come do. college football player we appreciate. you ladies and gentlemen K.

stre so he's digging deep there it. sounds like him and tomman had a great. conversation I wonder what that was. about was it about you dressing up as. the devil Matt K I would assume you know. hervey's a professional he wouldn't. bring that up to Coach T uh but for the. rankings I I think the committee did. something smart okay they have Texas. above Oklahoma head-to-head Oklahoma. beat them they have Kansas above. Oklahoma State head-to-head Oklahoma. State beat Kansas but then they also. have where head-to-heads they have the. same record and they have the team that. won above them so they can later on down.

the road they can say you know sometimes. you know we have the head-to-head but it. doesn't matter and sometimes it does so. it doesn't matter ever and they can put. teams wherever they want fascinating. thing that he brought up in there it's. like if if it's just being undefeated. they can just book Terri games. non-conference games and everybody's. going to hate it everybody's going to. get mad about it everybody's going to. talk about it but if that's what. they're judging off of why would the. schools not do that if they're trying to. hunt for a National Championship it's. like Notre Dame Ohio State that's a big.

relationship that's gone back last year. Ohio State almost got got by Notre Dame. in that particular this year they go in. there and do that obviously James. Franklin and the boys are a much better. team this year and that was an early. conference game for them but I. appreciate Kirk bringing that up because. it's hard not to just judge that like. it's hard not to just be like very much. this team hasn't lost so like I'm saying. that with Georgia pretty much I'm like. hey this team hasn't lost and they're. the national champions back to back like. they should be number one in my eyes but. then also I think there was a time where. they were supposed to play somebody.

somebody backed out and it's probably. tough to book schools if you're Georgia. I would assume at this particular time. it's a weird balance and dynamic for the. entire season and what they're judging. off of for the ultimate if I remember I. think it was Oklahoma or something or. Texas I think it was Oklahoma and then. once they joined the plan to join the. SEC that game cancer or something yeah. because now they're going to be playing. each other anyways in the it's a wild. it's a weird time in college football. and then they do the projections are. what next year they're like this is this. year yeah just and they're like next. year though this is what's coming it's. like college football's about to get.

awesome and I do appreciate that they're. going to give them a little bit more of. an ability to you know Miss whip up a. little bit you mean yeah have a slip up. yeah the committee I'm talking about. because whoever's five in this thing so. mad so forever forever like that was our. year that that was the year we were. supposed to do it like yeah University. of Dayton they were their basketball. team this is a weird reference obviously. but they were doing great killing it. having a great year Obi toppin there and.

Co hits and they don't get to go to the. tournament the one year that they had a. chance to like make a really really good. run so people are mad at Co for a lot of. reasons Dayton fly are certainly pissed. about the basketball scene uh Sabrina. UNESCO uh but whenever you talk about. like this particular thing if you're. ranked five in a country your team is. very good yeah like you remember. being ranked likeing I was on a team. that was ranked in the top five it was a. huge ordeal like you were obviously on. teams there were you guys ever ranked in. there oh yeah no oh yeah really yeah. it's before everything came out we.

finished number three five finished. off wow so 13 come. on first time in school history ranked. yeah but that's that's a huge deal like. being ranked fifth in the first official. one is massive and I'm sure Washington's. okay with it because their fan base has. had to go through the last couple weeks. where they haven't looked necessarily as. great but like some of these teams that. are like eighth ninth they're like so. mad and it's like yo you we got a lot of. season left your team is ranked very. high that doesn't matter anymore it's.

like hey we are on a path to win a. National Championship good luck to all. of them Dabo talking about you know his. fans CW yeah it's awesome it is goes. from you go from it just shows you man. like winning helps a lot it really does. it's tough to lose games as a as a head. coach of a program that is not used to. losing games all right we'll take some. phone calls on the phone lines 183 34323. 6631. 18334 D can't wait to hear what the. people are talking about let's talk.

about some other things that are being. talked about around the Sports World. wemi last night man dressed up like. Slender Man. M I don't know what a Slender Man is but. when I saw the caption and I saw the way. he looked I thought to myself that's the. perfect costume for somebody that's 7. foot5 identical and is built the way is. that is what the scary person from was. it New York oh I don't know where. exactly it was internet yeah I think it. was on the internet but I think there. was an actual Slender Man in like uh New.

York somewhere I watched a documentary. on it I think I don't know what it. looked like but nonetheless this guy is. fascinating to watch play basketball he. I guess came out and said to Kevin. Durant is his Idol and the person he. looks up to Kevin Durant was playing. against him last night was asked about. it Kevin Durant said that's we feel old. you know because a guy who's coming into. the league looked up to me through it. all and then in the end in the end of. the game wemy has a putback goes around. Kevin Durant okay big long three 114 111. here Phoenix has the lead with 11. seconds back oh let me go around wemi.

says thank you I don't have to jump to. do that now all of a sudden we have a I. think onepoint game two oh no and then. Kevin Durant gets the rock stolen give. me that layup takes the lead with like. two seconds left Phoenix Suns go from. having a massive win at home to a. one-point loss to wemi and the boys and. Kevin Durant's kind of right in the. middle of that and wemi is right in the. middle of that as well what have you. seen from wemi and the spur team thus. far and we need this guy's like must.

watch just because of like how it looks. out there yeah still fascinating just to. see him move around the court like. you're used to guys that aren't that. tall but like being under the rim and. stuff he's getting rebounds he's going. Coast to Coast like it's absurd watching. him dribble but we were talking about. this before with Bruce like everyone. including the players on his own team. probably even including Greg papovich. like they have to kind of understand and. get used to the fact that he is 75 in. like every he can do everything on the. floor like you You' think that if to get.

him in the game maybe they give him a. couple easy posts like he's chucking up. threes to start this game it is. ridiculous he only took 12 shots he. should be taking about 30 a game I'd say. he definitely needs to ball more he's he. only played 28 minutes he's got to play. again 30 35 minutes like let's get this. guy he should be they're trying to slow. roll it a little bit is they're trying. body type like that yeah the other guys. like he needs to play with those he's. only played a few games with all the. guys on his team like it's not like. they're not trying to give him the ball.

but when you're watching it it is. frustrating because there are times. where he should clearly be getting the. basketball whether it's out on the. three-point line or in the block or in. you know fast break and everything what. do you mean like he's underneath and. there's somebody that he's certainly a. mix a mismatch yeah like we I showed you. a couple of them in the first quarter. where it's like there's a guard on them. because they're running pick and rolls. with them and they're not you know. passing it down to him on the Block when. clearly it's an automatic bucket but I I. guess that is part of the getting used. to the fact that you have an automatic.

two points every single time someone who. isn't Kevin Durant or a center is. guarding him so I'm fascinated by the. fact that this seems to be an NBA thing. like when we went down to New Orleans. they introduced Zion like third okay I. think they introduced him third in his. starting lineup in his first game and. they were only on National Television. because he was playing it was his debut. and they were like well we don't want to. put too much on his. plate uh which which makes sense too. soon too soon you know as it was coming. out they didn't want to put too much on. his play Too Soon they didn't want the. pressures of being and also they were.

worried about his health it's like this. dude's had the pressure of a franchise. on his shoulder since he's the Zion 14. franchise since he's like 14 years old. but it feels like the NBA tries its best. to protect some people I don't know if. that's what's going on with San Antonio. but I'm excited for the day whenever. it's the WB show every single game I. yeah I will be EXC I'm excited for the. day and hopefully it comes don't know if. will maybe the NSE the tournament and. help maybe the new rules that Adam. Silver is kind of putting out there with. stars resting oh yeah just I know. Charles Barkley kind of cut a prom more. like opening night you know fans expect.

like you want the guys to get out there. and play and if you're hurt that's one. thing but if you're just you know third. game of the season and you're sitting to. rest you know injury or you know Brad. Bill not sure what's going on with him. he's not coming out book been out it's. like man like come on D like come on we. got to get out there and play and like. you can't be slow rolling you know 22. year olds 19 year olds what are we doing. yeah I agree uh and that's how I ended. up getting to introduce the Pelicans. actually cuz I was so loud about it can. we just put this guy on the. court and just give him the ball and.

then whenever he was on he was so scared. to have the ball was like he was passing. away he was like how come the coach. isn't saying hey when you get the ball. we're all here for you but take that. thing right to the rack and then. everything kind of unfolded and they're. like see see see that's why that's why. we didn't know it's like all right. you're right I'm wrong with wemi it. feels like he's been prepared to be an. NBA guy his whole life like literally. yeah it's like Luca like Luca played. professional basketball when he was 15. years old if you look up LCA donin's. rookie year it says 2015 but he didn't. join the NBA till 2018 so like this guy.

he can play he knows how to play and we. looked at the Luca stuff earlier when. Luca came in with the Mavericks it kind. of felt like this where he's the new. face of the franchise and some of the. older vets maybe aren't like no you're. not but maybe don't want the transition. to be in the first game so like DeAndre. Jordan I think it was DeAndre Jordan. Michael kid Gilchrist Harrison Barnes. like the Mavericks got rid of or didn't. resign like six or seven vets that they. had for luc's rookie year and then that. second year is when he really became. like okay this is the guy for the.

Mavericks and one of the guys in the NBA. I also wonder if part of the problem is. like with a lot of these NBA teams like. even if a guy's not like a superstar. it's like some some of these guys who no. one's ever heard of before are making. like $30 million a year so it's like hey. you're paying me a load of money. you know like I understand we just. drafted this guy first overall but like. I'm still on this team I'm still yeah. you invested all this money in me like. I'm still out here to get shots up and. and I'm not just going to give the keys. to this guy just because we drafted him. first overall are we watching the NBA.

this year oh yeah abely watch show I. usually watch it later I watch the. Highlight I feel like I'm in tune. because I just W the internet is the NBA. is the internet yeah they crushed it's. an internet League you know like. everybody talk coming back what's that. buddy when's johnar coming back games 25. I think he's got 20 games left yeah it. was 25 I'm looking forward to that that. guy is must watch. TV is he same guy think gotta be got he. should have a little more spring in his. step should have some fresh legs better.

You' think he'd be healthier because. we'd assume he's taking care of his body. a little bit more from what we had heard. in the past but what if you know that. edge I don't want him to because he is. an edge guy you like that is that is. kind of his thing he's gonna have more. of an edge he's gonna be so pissed he. got suspended he's gonna take it out in. the league hell yeah John Dylan Brooks. is gone too the drama that guy got uh. embarrassed by step the other night yes. he did I feel like it's gonna follow him. forever what he did the whole little. playoff run he had got got paid. though worked out for him worked out for.

him uh Jerry Jones was talking about the. big time huge 4:15 Eastern matchup. against the Philadelphia Eagles this. weekend this morning on his weekly hit. with 1025 the fan 105 The Fan 1035 The. Fan your Dallas Cowboys 1053 the 105 had. it 1053 The Fan you're home for Cowboys. coverage also you're home for Jerry. Jones every single week probably does. that for free if I had to guess joining. us now let's hear him talk about the.

respect he has for Philadelphia in a. massive game coming up this weekend yeah. this is uh easy for me to say but this. is serious that we're dealing with up. here sunnd man. we got we've got to really uh have our. game face on and Philadelphia is a tough. place to uh uh get your momentum going. but uh it's all there and to me this is. all about uh uh uh just what the NFL can.

be I had a a a priest father trib that. uh both my sons went to a Catholic. school there uh when we lived in Little. Rock and and uh but father tribute. really became their their Master uh uh. and he was just that he was uh Bill. Clinton took him to see the pope when. Bill Clinton was President he was such. an educator but his family was some. Philadelphia and he raised by all.

sisters all girls raised him and so you. can imagine he had a a. lifelong of wi about him but also a. lifelong uh resentment because they put. dresses on him when he young but we used. to have a big time but I'll never forget. I was walking through. theph and you have to get to the. dressing room and get to where you're. going to sit to watch the game and I. heard somebody yell over background said.

look at that ER got so said even got his. own priest going along with him. said said doesn't that take a lot of. audacity and of course I winked at him. and blew him a kiss and said you. bet just to see what his sisters did to. him you know that's what Jerry said. about the priest and shout out to Father. Tribune obviously and everything he's. accomplishing that but here's Mike. McCarthy talking about Philadelphia as. well so now the owner talking about. going to Philadelphia a little bit and. then took a little bit of a detour and.

then obviously came back talking about. Philadelphia here's Big Mike McCarthy. talking about heading up to Philly I. think clearly you know the expectation. of you know what what's it going to be. like to play in you know Sunday Night. Football in Philadelphia I don't know if. we haven't played her in the daytime. since I've been here so I mean that's so. that's that's good to have that. experience it's. not going there it is a unique place to. play and so we look forward to it so. it's uh that's part of it but you know. schematically you know these players.

know each other I mean some of these. guys trained together in the off season. too so you know I think all that is. helpful what makes Philadelphia unique. place to. [Music]. play Just uh friendly people you know. just I love that I love that it's being. talked about I love that it's obvious. that the Cowboys are being told by their. coach by the owner by the GM and cowboys. know this obviously they're Dallas. Cowboys that play there a lot but it's. like a reminder hey we're going into a.

place where their fans you know are a. part of the game that's a place that is. going to be very loud very harsh in a. massive game I think we're building up. for a good 4:15 game on Sunday between. these two and the NFC stage here. yeah we are isn't what coaches always. say when you're going to Philly like hey. these these fans boo Santa Claus like. that's always the thing that they say. about Philly isn't it didn't they throw. throw snowballs batteries and snowballs. which is great they care for their team. man like that's Philly's a great place.

to play man if you can go into Philly. and get a win it like your team can. build so much momentum and so because it. is like players respect how Philly fans. are they really do even if you're. against them and they're yelling at you. throwing stuff like you're like man this. is pretty sweet how di hard they are for. their squad I appreciate the fact that. they are the way they are I think every. Stadium should be that way but those. places that are a little bit more. ruthless a little more age to them it's. a that makes the game better I think. every single even if it was and it's not.

if that was a one o00 game whenever the. fans are being the way they are they. almost build the hype around the game. and make it feel bigger and better I. love that Philly fans are being chatted. about this yeah especially as a player. cuz sometimes you go in in the culture. tell you hey this is going to be one of. those games we got to bring our own. energy got to bring your own juice you. going in here as soon as you pull in the. buses and you going through the. tailgates and you getting the birds. you getting probably thrown at the. bus and um is this the stadium that has. the jail in it or yeah they try to put. as many jails as possible in. Philadelphia from what I've been told.

smart I don't know if they're all packed. out or not but it feels like potentially. a conversation starter for there is that. AQ you played for the Eagles there for a. bit play for the Steelers similar fan. bases you played for the Ravens great. fan bases similar fan BAS cols Baltimore. fans well the. Baltimore were a hospitable Bunch it's. called who your hospitality that's why I. threw it in there they are loud. obviously but they're not going to be. telling people you know things about. their mother and their family and things. that they've done in their past and very. loudly pointing that out to not only.

them but everybody around them as well. what this person has done they feel like. they're a part of the game favorite. place to play for you whenever it comes. to that type of thing because I'd assume. you appreciate the talk if I had. did guess yeah honestly my favorite. places to play are the ones that are. going to talk you from the Seattle. whenever I was in Arizona I loved it you. know you go there and they're talking. you're booing you they're it's. awesome when you go to Philadelphia it's. Amplified and it is awesome I mean. that's what you live for as a player you. live for being the villain and going in.

and spoiling the the home crowd and. whenever they're actually you know at. the beginning riding the wave of the. game like you talk about on the ride end. like there's been a couple places you. pull in where it's not just like old. people doing it it's like there's kids. oh yeah little kind of kids with their. dad like tell hey what these they can't. hear us cuz of those windows but they. can certainly see us come on Johnny put. that little middle remember what I. taught you remember what I taught you. this team like that is I love that. AJ I genuinely do and then there's some. places like Green Bay I do believe.

Indianapolis is very similar to this I. think Nebraska is known for this in. college like they're going to be there. it's going to be loud but they're going. to be very hospitable hey good game hey. good game on the other way that's also a. little mental AJ yeah it is I. think it can work either way could work. on teams especially maybe some if you. have some guys that have never played. there maybe some young guys it's their. first experience like that say you came. from some small school in college didn't. play in front of a ton of people and. then all of a sudden you're thrust into. the starting lineup at Philly like yeah.

that could uh that could play some games. on some people yeah I absolutely love it. go ahead Conor you remember when Joey. Bosa was walking into the Niners Eagles. Champion G last year that that's like. the perfect anytime you get somebody to. say yeah I'm rich you're not you. know won you know and that really got. yep thought so just got this John yeah. it's on camera you loser yeah. like got it I mean that is those are the. types of fans that we appreciate Raiders. Raiders fans too throw back throwback. Oak black hole like I went to as a fan.

my boy played for the Raiders I went to. a Raiders Chargers game that that. was that environment had on a swivel oh. yeah had on the swivel in the in the in. the B everywhere the bathroom if you had. on you know it was like some gang. out there like well I appreciate that I. appreciate that a lot is Houston like. that or they just L loud Houston loud. very very loud but they're if they won. I'd assume they'd be able to turn it up. a little bit that's the thing like if. you're a good fan base and your team. hasn't won I think you kind of forced.

into being like good game yeah but if. you win a lot like Patriots fans they. don't get enough credit either New. England fans very loud very loud it's. always talking about like hey football. team's good Tom's good bill's good. everything like that that stadium is. very and their oh yeah you what. I mean shot the muskets yeah oh yeah the. shot and they've had reasons to be. arrogant for a very long time like that. helps a fan base out immensely yeah and. they and they've kind of they have. stayed you know kind of true to. themselves last year I think it was. Stefon Diggs where the fan yeld you know.

suck my dick and then you got caught on. camera yeah you got the sound bite of. step on dig shut the up like that. that's a great little exchange we got. those are good battles those are things. that don't get talked about can't get uh. obviously promoted in a lot of uh places. sure but there's some stadiums that view. themselves as a weapon Eagles fans. you've done it you heard Jerry and you. heard Mike Mass G congratulations on. doing that tomorrow night Pittsburgh. Steelers fans excited to hear what they. are let's go to the phones shall we uh. we got bones actually in.

Pittsburgh bones in Pittsburgh how you. doing hopefully better than the Steelers. Penguins and the Pirates. oh all right it's brutal here it's. brutal how you guys doing how's the boys. hey everybody's good bones uh big night. tonight for tomorrow night for the. Pittsburgh Steelers tone Diggs dressed. up like uh the devil and Matt Canada. just Matt Canada oh sorry called Matt. can the devil yesterday Mike tomlin's. come out and you know had to say some. things about turnovers basically taking. a shot at the defense do you have any.

faith left in this Pittsburgh Steelers. team there in Pittsburgh bones I you. know what I I I got a few things I want. to say about that um I honestly think we. might be chanting for the wrong guy to. be fired here but uh Canada of a front. to me uh in the trenches while uh Coach. T sits on the horse at the back of the. battlefield these getting a little too. comfy for me bro um six years no playoff. wins uh 2016 last playoff win 30th in.

total offense 30th in Total Defense. right now um my man's running out of. things to say at the podium Bud um I. just want to know where our stones are. bro. like you watch the games it's like we're. Pittsburgh enough's enough you know all. right Bone's not happy enough he's not. did you expect that from a call for. Pittsburgh day before a game not going. that Coach T he said people are Ching.

fire Canada enough he's a puppet it's a. guy in the back a horse at the back of. the. battlefield God all right did not expect. that Coach T it's getting loud yeah yeah. Coach T it's getting loud the worst. reference I've ever heard to be honest. um is that how all of Pittsburgh feels. I'm really starting gen pretty sure we. are very very close to that now they. have cooled down that because they've. had timely wins like it's we haven't. gone on a losing streak yet four and.

three yeah exactly leading the second in. the AFC North Second in the AFC North so. I mean it's going to get real like this. is how they are with a winning record is. how we are with a winning record so what. are you saying is going to happen to. they wait until will rattle off four or. five losses in a row here that ain't. going to happen I don't what are you. talking about yeah what's their schedule. defense keeping the defense scores two. or three times a game speaking of that. let's go to a quote from Mike Tomlin. from his press conference talking about. the turnovers in the defense a lot of.

people got. very uh flustered about this quote and I. don't know if they heard it or just read. it but here's Mike tomman talking about. the synopsis of the game this past. weekend where the Jacksonville Jaguars. came into Pittsburgh and Pitts weather. played Pittsburgh football and beat the. Pittsburgh Steelers and then stole the. terrible towels from yeners and. pittsburghers sitting in the front row I. mean most disrespectful thing that could. have happened to the Steelers here's. coach Tomlin we were able to get some. turnovers uh but they weren't the type.

of turnovers that that Tee up the. offense in terms of being on the short. field although I do appreciate them uh. they kept the score down uh they weren't. the type of ones that teed up the. offense and so um obviously we we got a. desire to to dominate to turnover. component to play we got some but not. not the type um that's really. advantageous hey that pissed off a lot. of people oh we didn't get the right. turnovers it sounds like people think. he's attacking the defense which I know. bones just at his 30th ranked in the but.

it's like the defense is really the only. part of it I felt like after listening. to that that was him talking on the. offense that wasn't him talking on. the def that was him saying like our. defense knows that we have to basically. hand points to this off that we're. playing right now that's kind of how I. took it after listening to it but. whenever you read like these turnovers. weren't good turnovers talking about. ones that are in the Red Zone I think. you naturally bury him what are your. thoughts on it AJ yeah I took it how you. did like he's trying to wake that. offense up because I don't know about. you guys but I've never really heard any.

coach tell a team or tell anybody hey. these hey appreciate the turnovers these. just aren't good turnovers we don't we. need them in better we need better field. position we need we need something else. you got to score a couple times. defensively yeah you want all that but. usually a turnover is a turn over give. your offense an extra possession here we. go so yeah I think he's talking to the. offense a little bit I think he's kind. of mailed it in on the offense being. good yeah he's kind of like Hey listen. won't happen Hey listen we all know. what's happening out there in this. defense that I am a part of and I'm a. defensive guy and it's a massive reason.

why we've never finished below 500 is. because how the defenses have been in. Pittsburgh our defense knows yeah you. got to take it to the house I. don't care if you get a pick in the end. zone we need to go 105 yards at least 95. yards to score some points I appreciate. that that's his angle but boy there's a. lot of X players that have said this. speaking publicly about. this type of stuff he might lose some. people out is that what uh bones meant. by running out of to say at the. podium I'm I'm with AJ never heard the. the you know not a good turnover we did.

see the Denver game and you know he teed. up the offense a bunch in great field. position it is turnover battle in field. position those are you know the biggest. indicators when it comes to winning. losing games but I mean come on now he. also said pter needs to be a bit more. assistent you know so like I think he. he's tired of it all as well yeah I. think he's not only tired of it all but. I think he acknowledges like hey this. offense we we get it okay like we all we. need field position game like punter we. need to have a better day can't. can't can't be inconsistent defense yeah.

we need you to play offense too when. you're on the defensive side of the ball. I think that's what he was saying AQ you. don't love this necessary phrasing. though I don't like the messaging but. here's the thing like if he's tired of. all the that he like he keeps. saying all the stuff at the podium right. thank you make some changes. besides just uh adding padded practices. to Wednesday like all right cool we can. we can talk on this guy we can talk. on this guy we can make this thing. that's like directed at the off we. make some changes then AQ from. Pittsburgh y PS you hear a lot of I'm. from Pittsburg you know Tone's from.

Pittsburgh I'm from Pittsburgh AQ is. from Pittsburgh Connor's not from. Pittsburgh his name's Boston Connor. bones I sounds like he is from. Pittsburgh s Pittsburgh guy I don't know. if we're gonna go to another phone call. to be honest with you I not expect to. get into bones is pretty good defense. been giving up like 140 a game on the. ground something like that oh the pass. isn't much better but is out so I used. to that defense what happens what. happens the end of the year what's going. to happen yeah the rest of the season uh. pen stink too I heard yeah yeah they're.

very bad no that's that's the difference. no bad yeah well five on three to end. the game and then they lose yeah I saw. that. short-handed yeah you knew that was. coming though they're old long year long. season usually they start well stats say. they should have the most goals in the. leag. analytics analytics told us yeah that. they're playing better than everybody. yeah they have the most what does that. they have the most W have bin goals on W. havein Place. yeah that real real that's accurate but. they just say every goal stand on their. head yes guys saved one with his.

back end of his stick through his legs. the other yes that is what's happen. actually he should be our goal hockey. gods are just completely they'll win the. would have been cup though look at you. well there's the carab about Cup Classic. happening they have that show the. Caribou cup it's a big match up today. actually anyway gum know about that car. cup the carab about cup yeah it's. massive how come the first time we heard. about it was from burle no I tell you. guys about it all the time you just. sweep it to the side one of those I've. never heard you say car cup new cup.

every two days track all these cups so. it's the World Cup the Euros cup the. this cup the that cup the happy cup the. messy. fael cup we're trying to keep up we're. trying to we're Champions Cup MLS MLS. Playoffs tonight actually Atlanta's car. is Miami playing that's that's why I. don't bring up the caravel Cup right. there there's your answer the best. player in the world they win a. 100 games and somehow well no those are. MLS games so uh they're playing already.

he won the balloon door yeah exact by. the way MLS player won wins the balloon. door about time it's our sport now. should have been Freddy D it's our sport. now hell yeah it should have been I saw. literally I think his first game in. America was against my team he was. certainly not our age but he did cook us. he cooked us I've never seen. anything like it he was Bing everybody I. think he had like a 75 mph shot when we. were like 12 that didn't make any sense. but he's do huh how do they not let.

Messi's team in the playoffs like that's. the one of the biggest mistakes I've. seen should have asked G bman about that. what he would have done if he was the. commissioner of the MLS I do believe the. commissioner of the MLS has been offered. up to our program though okay so. whenever he comes on or she comes on we. will certainly ask like hey could we. have not just you know open it up for. more teams maybe or just let everybody. in or fugaz that mid season tournament. and just add those points oh you win. that thing you automatically get into. the playoffs I'd love to hear what. horeshit answer we get in return but to.

why Messi's not in the playoffs you. talking about the balloon door War yeah. I am but hey guess what the Atlanta. United has eight guys who are really. good who no one's ever heard of. that you can watch in the playoffs no. thanks the respect true it is but it's. very true at the same time disgusting. we're not happy about it that's you he. I'm pissed you wanted to watch and guess. what now I won't ever watch an MLS game. again until Messi's back on the pitch. but outside of that no thanks I paid my. Apple subscription to watch this MLS.

stalker that's right and meth is not. even out there after he wins the balloon. door okay no thanks they got to fix that. too on Apple you got to click too many. things I haven't been in there in months. about the game then you got to click you. got to click like four times to get to. the actual game Messi's not playing. right now so they don't give a if. you watch it or not no that was what. Messi was playing too yeah it wasting. and Messi did get hurt too yeah he W. down he played for Argentina though just. slicing and dicing so did he or did he. think to himself we got no shot to make.

the playoff somehow even though they. gave me 45% of this league what the. are they doing you know the NBA they. said how do we get Zion in here oh we. need 14 teams okay 14 teams in there. they can't do that the MLS why cuz the. car about cup geez I'm sick of it think. the old school soccer people be mad or. something they worried about the. Integrity of the game yeah. the all of the MLS marks were mad enough. about every messy highlight that hey I I. did appreciate that all the MLS teams.

when methy came to town they were booing. his ass as opposed to thanking his ass. like oh people are watching our league. now we might be able to spend more money. on things we might get a little bit more. of a spotlight because this guy's here. get him the out of our town I. appreciated that awesome I actually did. like that but that being. said these soccer marks is is what we're. calling them yep the SARS you can't be. that blind to know that like this dude. should be playing as much as possible it. was also just an excuse every time he. did something good it's like it's the M.

it's like yeah it's the MLS also the guy. did the same thing in the goddamn World. Cup like he's the best player in the. world it's not the MLS not in the. playoffs though couldn't lead team now. he got banged up it's a tough schedule. two twoo physic is what they're saying. well the. MLS I mean they had to win 15 straight. games to get in after but they did yeah. that didn't count well they won the MLS. open oh. okay that's what I'm saying now we're. back to the car water open hey Burnley.

AQ don't be trying to Rattle it okay. it's already rattled a. Jurassic it's going to stay forever now. all right speaking of AQ Shipley there's. only one thing we need to two things. actually there's two things we need to. do before we go off and have the. greatest Wednesday of all time this. evening it's get better and smarter at. football yeah ladies and gentlemen a. nice Wednesday tradition that has began. we will learn about the offensive line. in the trenches and we will also learn. about the secondary and offenses ladies. and gentlemen first things first in the.

trenches with AQ. [Applause]. shipl to go a let's go let's go what do. we got what do we got what are we. starting with thanks guys yeah you have. a great fit today apprciate boots pants. are a little loose those caves the caves. the caves stopped them he looks great. what's he got what type of belt is that. there Burberry. Hermes Lou. Bel fancy this guy's a big deal he got a.

professional shopper he's on TV that's. right he's lost a bunch of weight and. he's about to break down a man who's a. defensive end that was potentially going. to be traded but nothing happened. allegedly Dallas Cowboys did not even. really go after guy didn't it allegedly. he was supposed to be a cowboy everybody. was saying he's going to be a cowboy. he's going to be a cowboy allegedly that. did not take place and Jerry said we. have a pat hand to start yesterday derck. Henry remains with the Tennessee Titans. with Will Levis a quarterback we do. assume he had a monster game this guy's. obviously going to be the guy moving.

forward but check it out we're going to. focus a little bit on here we're going. to focus a little bit right here we got. a great a block up to the backer but. watch what happens when he goes back. both the linebackers free and hold cuz. they have to respect him but here's what. you love that right there look at this. right here now instead of sending him. all the way back we cut this backside. end we get him cutting the backside. linebacker we get a great a block here. and you get an unbelievable split up the. middle here with Derrick.

Henry oh wow look at this monster hole. right there big gaping hole I love it I. love it down but the thing that's. beautiful about if you go back to the. beginning if you watched the other night. Max Crosby chased these plays down from. the backside all night long every time a. team goes Zone away so here's what they. do they send the tackle out and they get. the backside cut off going right here. with the with the tight end in the back. field it's awesome stuff Tennessee did a. great job this past week now we moved to.

Cincinnati again facing another really. good defense so how do we take advantage. of them they got dudes everywhere they. got guys that can get up the field right. okay cool we're going to sell the zone. but here here's what we're going to do. when we block here now we don't have to. reach them we're just going to reach. sell them get them up the field and seal. everybody this way they're all going to. Seal Seal Seal Seal when you watch the. center jump through he's going to seal. him to this side when he goes over the. top now he just runs him out but we get. the bend back because the tight end's. coming back to cut the backside get Bose.

up the field and there it is you get a. monster hole moving forward is that. normal for the emotion to go to the side. that they're also running to no that's a. lot of teams are starting to do that now. though because now what happens so here. when you get the motion here they'll. spot block it so they'll know hey it's. either a Zone team or a man team you'll. see later with Seattle Seattle sends. someone in motion they know it's a man. team so they clear someone out of the. space in this case it's a Zone team they. motion back into it and now they can. spot block every all the linebackers so.

they just basically book him on the back. side because they know what they're. doing front side mixing look good this. week you think it continues with us they. look great they look great the offensive. line look great this is hell of a block. by Volson um at the front side guard too. I mean that that block on a two ey is. the hardest block in football and he had. to hold it for a long time two ey two ey. inside shoulder of the Guard they could. only run out a gun he's got to hold this. block for a while I mean he's got the. one-on-one block right. there boom and he's got to seal him to.

the inside keeps him to the inside look. at that that's incredible power. horsepower that's good horse is it a. difference as old L uh when you're. running from under Center as opposed a. shotgun 100% 100% yeah it it it changes. everything especially cuz now you get. the dotted back with the dotted back. here if this play was run from over here. these guys would hold a heck of a lot. quicker over here because with the cut. back he's going to be cutting back. behind the center now he gets to the. front side which allows him to get set.

up there these guys set up all their. blocks there and it holds him front side. as well Bo got it them getting on their. block sooner is the benefit of being. under Center too absolutely and the. other thing that's that's crucial about. this play again I love this play we ran. this a lot when I was in Arizona it. makes it easy on the offensive line. that's what we talk about all the time. when you got dudes across from you it. makes it easy when you literally if you. have to reach a guy it's hard as. when you can sell reach to get him to go. there and then just. seal 67's got the hardest job right he's. got the hardest one because the play is.

cutting back behind him so he's got to. keep him there if this guy gets back. here whole play might be because. then if he gets back over here now the. play has to cut here and look who's the. unblocked guy mhm boom he comes and. makes the center does a hell of a joke. too getting up getting up to Fred Warner. great job Teddy got the ball this week I. don't know if you guys saw it really. yeah drank a gallon of milk every single. day is sophomore year high school a dog. to try to gain weight cuz his dad who. played in the NFL said uh you're not. really fast and you're not really tall.

so you're going to have to put some. weight on probably being offensive. lineman yeah so he drank a gallon of. milk every single day of high school is. sophomore year commitment sick puking. all over the place weapon we asked him. if it worked he said well probably. puberty. too yeah I don't know if that would help. but he is committed to ball loves ball. Indiana legend and look at him downfield. here love it great job just taking him. where he wants to go all right we don't. need to watch this how to do it boys how. to do it hey here stop it real quick so.

most most teams run this with the tight. end right here it's a classic tight end. on the line of scrimmage single back. draw one two three four five six the. five offensive linemen plus the tight. end have the core six one two three four. five six typically the center ID's. opposite where the tight end is if the. tight end's right here or here that's. the tight end's responsibility off the. ball Center is going to work to the guy. opposite where the tight end is so. here's here we go now a lot of guys at.

Center here they can shoot through here. but you got Buckner Buckner's a dog. right we know he's a dog well when he. takes this inside move here if that. Center just shoots through he can blow. up this play but watch The Patience by. Eric McCoy one of the best centers in. the NFL put him back on Max Garcia at. the left guard and then climb and get. the block at the linebacker Kamar just I. mean guys come on too easy come on come. on where's the grit it was a good play. design come on it was a good play design. great play design I love this too I love.

having the tight end in the back field. cuz a lot of times right here he doesn't. make this block but you move him into. the backfield now he can just get. straight down heill makes it almost like. an ISO on the back right AJ yeah I mean. that's look at that thing like from the. jump Kamar is straight downhill right at. you like if you take one one Peak. outside what ever see you he's hitting. his head on the goal post this coaches. like to say the thing that's amazing too. about C like watch this you see how he's. left here he sets up the block for the. center that's the beautiful thing for. these draws if he hits it right here now.

it gives the backer a chance to go here. but he boom he puts him on the left side. of McCoy and then Cuts back to the right. KN and he's going to do hell of a block. downfield by the receiver too hell of a. block right off his what a run hell of a. run yeah they had a lot of good runs in. that game yeah they did yeah I I think. they had. fourar T you guys young kids that Darren. we were about 105 yards away oh we're on. the other side I thought that was right. in our face Kamar got one in our face. though yeah yeah he could be our defense. is uh our defense giving up a lot of.

points on a regular basis yeah it's fun. though that's what makes the games. entertaining so even. though right let's get away from our. team let's get to another team we love. watching this guy Kenneth Walker is. becoming one of the best young starss in. this league let's watch this single. block front side here now check this out. when he puts him back on the center. every time you get a double team now. this guy's got to try and stay in this a. gap so when the defense now see how he. tries to Boom now he just runs them and. that creates the hole we get the. backside guard up to the backer and then.

oh man this is so pretty when you watch. inside Zone and here's the thing I'm. talking about by the way we get the. motion going here and you notice it's. man coverage see see how the DB's. running with them you just cleared this. was a 2X two thing so this guy would be. back over here if they stayed in zone. but by doing this knowing his man. coverage you just cleared a guy to the. plays side and now there's only one guy. over there you got one receiver making a. single block on a corner out there and. then these two are working to him and. then boom we get the cut back right.

there you get a great block by the. backside guard getting up to the. backside back or front side backer and. then we are hey dbut yo pause that dbut. look at that how tough is that if you're. Middlefield safety right there to make. that tackle are you serious man that's. that's a nightmare when I move and. transition to free safety this these. were the worst plays that that guy hits. that first Gap and it usually happens. like the first drive of the game they. hit that Gap and it's just you and him. you got to slow play it you know you. can't take a shot so you got a slow play. and make an open field tackle against a.

guy who gets paid and drafted to break. open field tackles against DBS his whole. life so that yeah that's the toughest. position right there to be in as a free. sa I've been in that position one time. with Antonio Brown and uh bad position. yeah he just he broke my ankles I ended. up on the ground and he celebrated on. the goal post good tackle here though. that's a good tackle here good get him. down yeah took angle line up again hey. they're playing good football out in. Seattle they are playing good football. here let me just talk about this real. quick one more time so this defensive. tackle when they face these combo blocks.

see where I'm at right here right there. straight ahead Straight Ahead okay. perfect so whenever whenever they're. facing this thing he gets chipped and. then we called us. so now this dtac was to try and get back. front side now watch the center. accelerate and run this guy. out. back give the count got to get way. wa way. [Applause]. wa it's way way there it is okay perfect.

what going on three so then when when. the D tackle gets hit right here he's. going to get chipped by the guard and. then he's going to try Ricochet back. front side that's what you're seeing. right here cuz he has to stay in this a. gap right here front side a gap but look. at the center get his head back front. side that is what makes the play that is. what makes the play and then boom you. get the big cut back right behind it. that's it beautiful beautiful is. beautiful that was a good Cadence I love. it great I love the Cadence got a couple.

kill shots here big PS here we go this. one's big there's no DB we got we got a. couple going right here in a row Focus. oh no yeah yep that doesn't let's take. let's take notice of Tyler beades I. think. is this show needs to stop. we actually way cool I think it was be. right it's Bish but okay Kim get it. started right here on the front side. linebacker no we'll just we'll take a.

peek at it cuz it's a good one we get a. little peek right here. and boom we put him down now watch this. one on him boy I'm just going to we'll. just let this thing go go. low kicked him in the face on the end j. and walks right by should be able to. chop him down yeah it a lot of people. are saying a lot of people are saying a. lot of people are saying he's the next. big time guard in this league Tyler. Smith we've talked about him he's been.

on the show before but obviously one of. the best Duos was Zack Martin but this. dude is becoming an absolute. monster in this league look at him get. downfield look how he moves look how. that whole play like you shouldn't be. able to move like that when you're that. big who wants. it Target. locked I got two both of them hey I give. the DB credit though man he at least he. stuck his head in there never doing it. again I think that's o State guy too I. wouldn't is that Ohio State guy I think.

I think Fuller Fuller yeah good yeah man. sacrificing his body for the squad. that's a heck of a pancake oh my God. geez they're just moving bodies here. here's a good one here hey we saw this. guy a couple weeks ago too this guy's a. mountain of a man Landon Dickerson. Jonathan Allen one of the best D tackles. one of the strongest guys I've ever. played against watch him move him here. every man get a man almost takes almost. takes out his teammate every good man. get two last two plays we see one dude.

taking out two dudes doesn't almost take. this guy. out B oh you see I mean that is throwing. him that's a shot put that's what 180. million in D tackles right there yeah oh. boy right the knee we l mean just moves. him out of the hole which is awesome. they are mean cusses aren't they Kelsey. sets this thing up with a little jab. right there you see that little Jabo leg. get swim over him cuz he thinks he's. going to get contact from Kelce puts him. a little bit off.

balance and then boom kill your. teammates knee I'm happy I'm happy you. offensive lineman love that stuff oh we. got a good one coming up sorry foxy we. got a good one coming up this one holy. made it oh baby Aiden Hutchinson. right boy oh no meet Dylan parm welcome. to the. league signature move signature.

no night night that's a good one that. was a good one oh my wow I love aen all. right so here let's just talk about this. because I showed foxy this earlier this. happens to him a couple times in this. game really happens to him a couple. times so whoever is Deens of line. coaches they're obviously clearly. teaching look as soon as he gets even. with the quarterback he always spins. back always always he will never run the.

hump and he will never take the inside. move so as soon as he gets even he goes. back underneath clearly a point emphasis. amongst the Raiders this week the only. Point emphasis they focused on all week. cuz their team stunk oh whoa. that I mean as soon as he. spins lights out killed lights out. howmet. yeah yeah it was right under the hey. we're not doing that all right all right. we're not we're not bringing we're not. bringing up fines again all right I mean.

he's sitting here thinking he's got a. good move on his he's defenseless is he. defenseless though couldn't he be. considered defenseless yeah and he's. engaged oh don't come in the trenches if. you don't want to spin back inside oh my. God Aiden we hope you're okay Aiden he. popped. up happened to him a couple times in. this game AQ same game Max Crosby how. good is that guy unbelievable yeah he's. insane yeah he's he's he's having a. monster year he's the most underrated. defensive player in violent yeah real. bummer he's going to be in Las Vegas.

he's a part of the building block hell. yeah it's going to be awesome but his. prime year I do want to see him moved. and a rebuild Antonio will bring it. back congratulations AQ that was really. good AQ. I don't know if you heard TJ Lang the. other day say yeah we're trying to break. ribs you offensive Lin just big slabs. big. slabs scumbags admited scumbags yeah all. of them just wide open about it hey DB. this is good news you know what's good. news what's that we're about to get. better let's do it let's do it m check.

mike check one two one two oh first one. Don Bland Mike good oh yeah okay but Don. Blen young Corner obviously his role has. expanded a ton with Travon Diggs get out. uh being out this is him played a lot of. inside corner last year this year. playing more outside and still being a. ball Hawk was a ball Hawk as a rookie. seeing patience and this is uh for DBS. this is tough playing these Stacks but I. mean that was a bad throw this is Matt. Stafford he's going to give you a couple. of those but playing these Stacks being. on the same page got the Super Bowl if.

you rewind no he's a good player even. that year I think he might have led the. league and pick sixes but but he he can. make all the throws and when you are. that type of guy you know you make some. mistakes farash thring out breaking. route late that's dangerous in this. league but um if you R it all the way. back as far as you can you'll see the. communication from Jordan Lewis. important for Nickelback for slot. Defenders you have to take ownership of. the communication you get that clean up. and there's no confusion as soon as he. goes out there with Cooper cup he's. going to tap his ass and say hey is. whatever that signal is either that. means I got the low guy or I got this.

guy on the line of scrimmage the. communication is there is clear verbal. and nonverbal depending on your home on. the road verbal non-verbal communication. as DBS and you can let it get what if he. just had a little little itch on his. butt yeah he farted no no he know they. they practice this we talk about in the. meeting cuz obviously quarterback SE is. too so sometimes we got to change it up. they may have somebody on the sideline. with some shades on record some you. got to switch it up from time to time. but them being on the same page that's. that's you know 80% of the battles is.

knowing what you're doing there's no. confusion on the matches and then just. being in good position picking this all. three three pick sixes in the first. eight weeks of this season so most. people don't have three pick six six in. their career um so for this young kid to. already have three an absolute Ball Hawk. first quarter uh so that's a uh I mean. this this game was a boat race from the. beginning and this was obviously a part. of it yeah the pick six and then there. was a block Punt and then there was uh a. big return yeah and that's all she wrote. yeah you can't be 26 and three cardinal.

cardinal s for quarterbacks you cannot. be late to the flat especially from the. opposite hash yeah he got one on Mack. earlier so that one didn't really count. y uh two uh second quarter two- minute. War at beginning of the two-minute. warning Jaylen Ramsey the the return 94. days away got back at home against the. Patriots divisional opponent this is. this is a Savvy move by him so M Jones. they're going to have a little fake. screen and go set up and it looks great. this look just how they drew it up to M. Jones yep pre- snap if you pause it kind.

of right pause it so right now you get. the fake you got Jaylen Ramsey being ran. off so he thinks this guy right here who. he's responsible for as a flat Defender. you're you're responsible for out and up. but also you want to rally and Tackle. this guy right but that's really that. tackles to make you wait for that ball. to be thrown you rally and get it but. his eyes are back there so to M Jones. this looks perfect it's just how they. drew it up on Friday scripting for. success but with vision as a veteran. Savvy veteran he sees it he feels it. deep third Defender gets his eyes back.

boom foot in the ground nope ball's in. the air my ball get as many yards as. possible you see him right there that's. almost like that free safety just trying. to slow play it and he got the job done. cuz I could have easily been a pick six. but um what's the young boy's name 81 uh. pop Douglas pop Douglas did his job. you'll see him right soon as he picked. off he literally just starts. backpedaling playing it almost like a. kicker or a punter once a you know a. long return is going but great Savvy. veteran move right here by Jaylen Ramsey. yeah I mean pop Douglas Cole strange is.

shot out of a cannon up there are you. kidding me look at that. guy sh me an get that guy the football. that's a loaf right there that's a loaf. insane yeah put him at fullback we saw. it earlier the year he is athletic you. got that first down remember Beast he's. hauling ass look at him. move talk about knee Drive arm swing are. you me that's what get you. drafted early yeah ex expion that's. first round effort right saved a. touchdown right there kri b also blew.

his ACL so good on him a great game for. the Patriots a big time play from uh. from Jaylen Ramsay in his return giv. welcome back yep giving M Jones the. picture he wants slow playing it and. turning that ball over Boop that doesn't. get talked about with mckin knife he. cares about the Vets across the league. not just in the new Engle knocker room. welcome back Jaylen the game's better. when you're playing back miss you buddy. here's a pick let me back to this week. gumps oh here we go bracket coverage. again on I don't know if this is a manto.

man double or a quarters coverage but. back to back patri what the back. bracket coverage so I I got him outside. you got him inside nobody has to run. through it's the same thing that. happened against the Eagles they give. you a quick motion actually rewind it. back a little bit it's going to be a. quick you know typical uh Dolphins this. is after two had already got picked off. earlier in early in the game um had a. third and long took my headphones I. couldn't even had a third long. you got a reroute on Tyreek Hill Dugger.

got in the window got a pick not good. enough to make the progam yeah they were. n not they lost son of a I don't. they lost I don't put losers on the. program that's not true so shift uh. motion and and then boom you're going to. see the both of these guys hesitate with. this motion coming here and you can't. hesitate with 10 so right here it's. already over he's leaving great Paul. that's not fair I mean just like this. looks like it's in fast forward but. as a DB like this got to be priority one. two and three like we got 10 over here. like that motion the mo all.

the play action like we got 10 JC. Jackson just got there what we. doing. just why is he always open that's what. they say why is he always open open. anybody could do that if you're going to. double him get some hands on him and. have a safety directly over the top and. this is the uh this the hill to Hell. effect this is when he's not getting oh. this the same one yeah okay same one we. go to the uh to the next one WD Marte. Mau the safety is just a sweet rookie. boy too he's not he's not some got. baptized welcome to the league Rook he.

was eyes in the back field you're done. welcome to the league r that it. looks fast on Film on the field five. times fast I think Jason and Travis. Kelsey were talking about the new Spud. about how a lot of people get caught. with Tyreek just like watch him on field. you're like all right he's fast he's. fast he's fast but a lot of people in. the NFL feel like they're fast I'm in. the NFL yeah yeah I ran 4-3 at. combine two everybody's talking about. this and then one time you just see him. kind of go it's different it's different. it's different when you're running with. a guy you you you feel that speed it's. like Deshawn Jackson like he was fast.

but like on the field like it was just a. different he would hit different gears. um on the field he's that same uh type. of player now Obviously good play this. better be a good play that's a. great play for the Dolphins right here. manto man coverage once again pause it. you get motion to a stack just like I. talked about with the Cowboys plays the. verbal and nonverbal communication. knowing that even going into the game. because this ain't new this is what the. Dolphins do every snap you're going to. have to deal with Notions or shifts so. these Corners got to be on the same page.

of how are we going to handle this stack. when it happens we know it's going to. happens both of these guys get confused. they both go to Tyreek jayen wad right. up the scene once again play action. right at the scene throw it up W. actually tweeted this retweeted it was. like hey this is the hill effect so yeah. hey we got 10 covered but now 17 I. mean I mean people aren't talking about. the illegal motion too Tyreek Hill is. running towards a lot of scrimmage right. when the ball he timed it up perfectly.

just like that K boom just like that. Tibido get off thing up right now nope. he's still going leral no no that's. that's ille still going leral I he's. going back that's illegal 21 personnel. and a Twan route two man rout shut up. that's it play action you get the play. action you don't I mean don't even need. to suck these guys up just boom buom. balls well you could though you could. suck them that's why the Patriots are up. there sorry they like to get sucked up. 21 person third And1 as well can't get.

sucked up with Tyreek it's it's Miami. you get sucked up when you go to Miami. get his second floor getting shoulder. rubs and cutsies talking about Wadd and. Tyreek Hill getting right behind you. when you're getting sucked up but. they're waddling their dongs into you. know situations where they're getting. sucked up that's problem was sweet uh. second second quarter 10 uh first and 10. momes once he got I know he was sick he. had I in his arm probably. 104° temperature he got out there 106 I.

heard they got really he should have. been in the hospital so this is kind of. similar to the Dugger interception that. didn't make the tape but with when. you're playing when you're playing. against these uh you know primary. receivers like a Kelsey like a hill even. in your Zone coverages we got to make. sure hey we get a hand or we stay right. underneath Travis Kelce be aware of. where 87 is at all time MC mcmiller does. a great job here just sinking in that. window feeling him you got the middle. run through you got a deep safety behind.

but just feeling that scam route because. of a scam route you're trying to bend it. out and get right be behind that seam. dropper did a great job just reading the. eyes honestly don't know what Mahomes. saw that he thought he could fit this. ball you know kind of pass him in. between this Defender and that Defender. but great. job he didn't know how many people on it. kind of looks like 87's just going. through emotions trying to find that's. what 87 does he to show off finds the. hole he finds the 87 finds the hole in. the coverage I love love this is saying.

that there's no love in the stadium so. what's he got to I think the big thing. not being talked about look how similar. that orange looks to that red true yeah. you're right this guy was had IVs all. night I mean it was probably the whole. everything was bling together what's. that not Vision so Vision a little. blurry red oranges yeah knees lot of men. are kind of color blind too arms are. heavy vomit on a sweater already mom. spaghetti he was nervous great job here. but on the surface he looked calm and. ready to drop bombs but he kept on.

forgetting that this guy just boom wait. a sink get back in there great feel. great feel for it to be healthy again. big turnover he be he'll bounce he go. out and throw a lot of athletes go to. Germany to get fixed so that's probably. going to be good for him yeah Chiefs. dolphin's in Germany by the. way lot of people aren Happ I believe. Orlowski is in the booth. right Jason mcord and Rich going to be. sick there we go dehop one of his three.

touchdowns this a 61 y with Will Levis. in the gun it's going to be that kind of. digg and go pump and go you're going to. be baiting up this safety back here got. aopp oh yeah Boop so he's going give him. that little head. knot and this a great ball great ball. it's got you got to you got to be. willing to throw it obviously you're. going to dial it up but you got to have. a quarterback that's willing to throw it. that has the arm to throw it and this is. this is just how they dial it up just. how they drew it up second and long. second and 11 so kind of a get back on.

track down Young quarterback you're not. probably expecting a double move right. here but here you go you get it high low. so this is a route that they have all. over their film run a little hook rout. running six behind the Dig route so boom. we got a little change up off of it so. good job by the offense dialing up how. many touchs good job. by that's three baby hat trick what do. you think trick what do you think a 72s. drop on that coverage what do you think. of 72 drop 72 72 we did your segment. see 72s drop right here yeah.

right there yeah yeah what do you think. of his drop I think he should be rushing. a quarterback no check his drop good one. I think oh good look out. don't come across mid hey eight man Dr. hey he's doing his job he's doing his. job he's taking away that hole great. body position opened up got his eyes. back on the quarterback he was trying to. talk yeah two guys rushing pass. that one yeah so you got two two guys. rushing The Edge and one guy stay like I. I mean yeah you got eight guys coverage.

and no so three guys deep great job for. a double move cuz you're going to have. nothing was coming in here though will. knew that no yeah yeah lot of bodies in. there want to r a lot of stacks today. dbut a lot of stuff coming off Stacks. buches we know that's tough to defend. that's tough to defend that's why you. need that communication beforehand and. obviously not the Tennessee speaking of. another stack thank you AJ that's Point. guys got to you you got him Point guys. got to get up and jam right Point guy. yep so boom pause it so this is actually. going to be I don't know if it's man or. cover three but with Jamar Chase it's.

going to be another fake screen he's. going to run out to this corner and. pretend like he's blocking and roll up. and it's the first play right after. turnover I believe I for get which. interception this was but Sudden Change. take a shot right at the end zone once. again you pump that screen so you're. thinking Jamar Chase is going out kind. of Faking a block runs right up the scam. do you have him do I come off and Tackle. this guy because I'm closer do I stay. with my guy is this my guy now because. he's blocking me that I've been in those. situations that's tough that's tough.

that's tough a lot of times you these. are ones you just got to get beat by and. you're like all right if this happens. again this is how we're going to play it. this is tough this is a good offense. playing with the rules and once again on. a sudden change when you're in this part. of the field offenses want to get in the. end zone right now take a shot of the. end zone get in our best player now you. know you going to have Jamar Chase. blocking on the screen I'm sure they do. at times but you got to know once again. where is one we got to take care of one. first we can rally and Tackle boy even. start going that way yeah they're yeah. so he's bubbling and he his eyes are.

there his eyes are there so they'll talk. about it after I'm sure that's a good. play design though good offensive play. design in a stack third and three well. third and four Jamal Adams talk about. all the time in the Box don't like him. in coverage as if I'm call a plays for. him let me get him creating Havoc. somewhere in here he's going to bring. the. pressure get uh he's going to get a. deflection off of uh you know off his. helmet and then you going have Julian. love rally and get this tips and. overthrow so Julian love is all the way. on the other side of the field he's. trying to throw it quick here timed up.

the blitz perfectly right in the Gap get. a hand up tips and overthrows going and. get it you got to take advantage of. those and that was a big big big point. in the game. uh for the Seattle Seattle Seahawks def. they had another opportunity where they. came out I believe it was like 40. seconds left maybe and uh the Browns had. a couple timeouts and no completions. almost interception down second down. look at their eyes sorry about that. underneath especially she had like the. eyes on the quarterback I tips and. overthrows it's like all they talk about. in Seattle and places like that whole.

Pete Carroll system like eyes on the QB. tips and overthrows got to have them. they always say yep and right here you. know you're not going to get to the. quarterback this is just as good as. getting a hand up just jump up is this. as close to the legion of boom as. they've ever been I mean they can be. they they don't have the Reps yet like. legion of boom was super talented but it. was so much with them where coming into. cuz they did like AQ said they played a. lot of the same and a lot of people. tried to copy it a lot of the same. over and over and over again switch up a. little dropper here and there but when.

you get that continuity with each other. these Stacks the Motions that we already. know how we going to handle it there no. confusion we don't even have to talk. about it I could just look at you and. know how we're going to play it so they. don't they have talent but they don't. have that continuity yet with each other. but I mean it could be because I think. their combo of Corners are better their. cover guys are better than the Legion of. booms was Legion boom was just. collectively um you know on the same. page rul they don't have the front. either he drops his head in this thing. well they TR just and Randy got him but.

yeah that front with Bennett and and. almost Julian love coming at you Clark. as well right they got or yeah Frank. Clark y. Clark that's what Pete C wants to do get. after you have have good eyes genius he. did Messi Cristiano. Ronaldo he actually said yeah learn this. one from Messi digs another ball H yeah. he said it learn this from Messi and he. can't even get into the MOs playoffs. boom what a joke hey great job. DB really good work AQ Shipley really.

solid stuff job you guys did better than. these bobbleheads did making you that's. tough durable I got I got I got three J. you should raise uh how much how many. people a JJ has to give money to oh. because of his bobbleheads being broke. 10 people $500 already happened today uh. I think there's one thing that has to. happen before the week ends. absolutely all right we already had one. giveaway debut but oh is he putting. statistics tell us we're probably only.

going to have one giveway by the end of. this so you don't want AQ button I saw. him on there earlier yeah that's why we. don't uh darus you're dress go come on. dbut dbut listen dbut looks nice yes. he's also working out a little bit more. now he's back in the hola I believe. beginning of the Season you could tell. he wasn't in the gym he was on the golf. course for a while now he's kind of. tightened it up he has moved three feet. closer to the hole than where he started. at but we appreci a little bit more go.

with the mummy behind you there bringing. good luck um there is seven balls all. you got to do is make three into that. hole over there and if you do another 10. people will win $500 AQ Shipley has a. golf course in his backyard AQ any uh. tips for Darius who has struggled with. this green. mightily um pick a. line and put it through the ball Don't. Stop The Stroke that's it that was. really good actually almost broke one of. those windows he was chipping on this.

thing earlier today yeah I did hear. about that uh appreciate you doing that. having zero respect for the Thunderdome. as a whole but nonetheless three made. putts here 10 people $500. Deb Good confident stroke though yeah. that is a good confidence stroke hit. that thing off the green into a sand. trap if we're at a nice green but a nice. course but that does not matter just one. miss need to go three of six now no. problems at all for Darius J Butler. great. everything do that little pump F second. ball drained yeah we knew that one.

wasn't going in but this one is going to. be the one where it gets started all. darius's got to do is make one then. he'll learn the line he'll learn the. touch and then he'll rattle off three. and 10 people will win $500 DB button of. fresh air. forces is that a. lip burn the edge it counts how was it. Li currently three for 24 on this green. uh keeping track of the last couple. weeks the stats are up on the Marquee I. do believe no we have analytics game. revolves around.

analytics oh no what three of 24 is that. accurate that's not accurate it is I. think it is it certainly got to a point. where we did not expect it to be this. bad but if he makes this one he'll make. the next two oh another lip that's three. of 25 it's the same lip. yep all dbut got to do is go three for. three he's gone he's gone three of 25 in. his last 28 but if he rattles off these. three 10 people win $500 come on debut. dar's for the people you've learned the.

course you've learned the hole on the. mummy's wishing you well as are the. people that are viewing this show and us. as a collective. group got it all right no that was good. effort that six over for seven all right. thought those last two maybe go in it's. all right buddy got a lot of season left. a lot of season left yeah guy plays a. lot of golf huh Butler birdie it's going. to be tough to get those you can't roll. a putt in but if you have good enough. irons you can be just like Scotty.
