Florid contributing here and I am leading the front. 3 00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:41.679 Scott is out networking, trying to get us more subscribers, trying to 4 00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:45.119 get us listeners, you name it, all that good stuff.

I'm I guess pinch hitting or backup quarterback, whatever sport you like. 6 00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:55.520 That's the you know, fit sixth man on the bench coming in. 7 00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:59.359 I guess maybe you're a woman coming in on the bench. Whatever your take 8 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.159 is. Here, I am. We have a great show line up tonight. 9 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:10.680 Welcome JT.

Ralph, You're welcome, Thank 13 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:30.480 you, Candy, thank you guys, and last but not least, smoking 14 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.920 Jeremy. Be good evening, everybody. Let's talk a little sports. I 15 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.840 love fire up. Yeah, let's all get fired up and let's talk. 16 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:45.040 So our first topic of the night, one that's near and dear to my 17 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:53.840 heart, although maybe not anymore, is the manager's bar was set pretty high. 18 00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.959 This week. There was some shocking news that came out of Chicago on 19 00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:06.680 Monday. They fired their coach and they took free agent Craig Council away from 20 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:10.840 the Milwaukee Brewers. They dug deep into their pocketbooks, although their pocketbooks are 21 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:16.919 much deeper because we have owners that are billionaires as opposed the Ricketts, as 22 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:22.719 opposed to Marcansnazio, who's only a millionaire, and we're gonna give Craig Council 23 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:29.439 a forty million dollar contract for five years. Kudos to Craig forgetting that. 24 00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:34.159 I have to admit, and the next highest paid coach in MLB is four 25 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.520 million, and then there's there's about there's five or six of them. There 26 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.680 are between that three and four million mark. Nobody else comes close. So 27 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.800 Craig Council's setting the bar high. That is what he said all along. 28 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.759 I will admit, as much as I am sad to see him go, 29 00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.400 he said, I'm not going to take a hometown discount because he is from 30 00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:00.080 the Milwaukee area and I want managers to get paid more. So he set 31 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:05.599 out to do what he, you know, did. Kudos because let's face 32 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:10.680 it, we're all reminded that even though we as fans or news or media 33 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:16.759 look at it as we're spectators here, this is a business. And I 34 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:22.039 was reminded of that on Monday when Craig Counsel took that. So I'd like 35 00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:29.039 to get everybody else's opinion, JT. I've always been a big fan of 36 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:34.039 Craig Council. Actually, I'm a big fan of David Ross. I am. 37 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.599 I would love to see the Pirates try to sweep up David Ross, 38 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:43.280 take him instead of Derek Shelton. I think Counsels at a great job, 39 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:49.879 great job over the years in Milwaukee. He's always kept Milwaukee competitive. You 40 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.520 know, they have a decent payroll, but not the highest in the league, 41 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.080 so he was he was getting it done with, you know, a 42 00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:01.280 little bit above average players. He worked his pitching staff well. I go 43 00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.280 back to the days he played baseball as well as an astro, and he's 44 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.199 just a hard working He's just that kind of guy you'd like to have on 45 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.680 your on your side. He's a he's a plugger, does what he has 46 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.240 to do to win. I think the Cubs are on a they're starting to 47 00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:18.160 get the rebuild go, and they had a decent year last year. That 48 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.800 coming back from a couple of really bat down years, I think Counsel is 49 00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:29.439 a great fit for them. Money anymore, eight billion dollars is a lot, 50 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.519 but anymore, I mean, is it really that big a deal in 51 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.199 baseball with the way the money gets thrown around. So I think I think 52 00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:38.399 the Cubs did well. I don't think David Ross will be out there too 53 00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:46.879 long. George, I was a bit surprised. I mean, the biggest 54 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.439 surprise to me was, you know, staying with it the division. But 55 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:56.319 not only that, but you guys are you know, rivals obviously geographic rivals, 56 00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:00.680 the Cubs and the Brewers. Craig did a really good job. Obviously 57 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:09.759 the World Series championship was elusive and couldn't deliver on that. That being said, 58 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:13.800 I'm familiar with these kind of moves because the Detroit Tigers back in the 59 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:18.319 day had a steady manager, a nice guy who was respected named Less Moss, 60 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:24.360 but lurking in the background and available was a guy named Sparky Anderson. 61 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.439 So the Tigers had a gutsy move to make, and they ended up firing 62 00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.240 Moss and hiring Sparky, And you guys know, the rest of the story. 63 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:40.399 He delivered a World championship to Detroit nineteen eighty four. I am very 64 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:45.800 happy and pleased that the managers are setting the bar higher. Like you said, 65 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.800 Candy, this is something that has to be done. This is something 66 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:55.439 that lags behind. The Tigers went out and got aj Hinch when a lot 67 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.959 of teams didn't want to talk to him. And I believe he's still a 68 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:03.000 good hire for the Troit. They made steady progress this year. But Craig 69 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:08.079 going to the Cubs, I think this is a tremendous move for him in 70 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:13.199 his career. This is one of the one of the prime opportunities, be 71 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:17.600 the best opportunity obviously for him to cash in and make as much money as 72 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:24.759 he can from a standpoint of managing in the big league. So I'm sorry 73 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.639 about leaving Milwaukee, but I am happy that he has set the bar higher, 74 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:32.120 like you said, for managers. Now, okay, Ralph, your 75 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:40.399 take, Well, I'm glad that the Cubs uh got counsel and like George 76 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:42.720 says, you know, you got to set the bar high for managers, 77 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.560 and uh, you know, it's it's it's an interesting situation here with this 78 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:51.120 and we're going to find out who's going to be uh Gea or the manager 79 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:55.600 of Milwaukee. That's going to be an interesting scenario right there. I'd be 80 00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:58.920 interested to find out who that's going to be. But going back to the 81 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:02.920 Cubs, they fired days Ross wasn't doing too bad. Joe mad got fired. 82 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.160 They've They've fired a few good managers over the years. The Cubs have. 83 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:12.120 I know, they won a World Series. Everybody should that should be 84 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.519 why you're in the game. That's for a World Series. And I agree 85 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:19.920 with j T. They probably should have should have hired uh you know Ross 86 00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:26.120 instead of Derek Sheldon. And I do agree with JT on that one. 87 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:30.959 But Sports Craig Counsel gots goold hire Cubs should do well. We'll see where 88 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:36.759 they go. Jeremy, I'm less disappointed in the fact that Counsel went to 89 00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:43.040 the Cubs. I'm more disappointed in the Cubs organization because the Fort Waying TinCaps, 90 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.759 which is the Cubs single A affiliate, has won that division four times 91 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:53.199 in the last ten years under the tutelage of Ryan Sandberg. Why hasn't he 92 00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.480 been called up to the pros by now? All he does is get these 93 00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:01.600 guys ready and advances into the pros. It's a te travesty that a Hall 94 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.879 of Famer like him, in a proven coaching commodity at a lower level hasn't 95 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:11.360 been moved up at all. Good point, good point. One of the 96 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:16.560 points when I was doing research on here about this topic, and I was 97 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.319 looking, I'm like, Okay, Craig Council eight million, Dave Roberts three 98 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:24.360 point twenty five. But then I went to some of the other sports and 99 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:30.079 just give you an idea, Nick Saban college football nine point one million, 100 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:35.279 Ed Ordron eight point seven, Dabo Sweeney eight point three. You go to 101 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:41.360 the NFL, Bill Belichick twenty million, Sean Payton eighteen million, Pete Carroll 102 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:48.240 fifteen million. Then you can go to college basketball Bill self Kansas thirteen million, 103 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.840 John Caliperi eight point five million, and Tom Izzo six point two million. 104 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:56.960 Just to give you a rough estimate of kind of some of the other 105 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:03.320 big salaries for coaches or managers out there. Well, in Candy, you 106 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:09.360 got to also remember Mel Tucker who was let go by Michigan State. He 107 00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:13.480 had that unbelievable contract, and you know Mel Farr Junior came up with a 108 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.799 good point, guys, he says, you know what, that lost stings. 109 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:24.000 It stings because mel Tucker also had set the bar high, especially for 110 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.360 African American coaches, and to see what happened to him is sad, not 111 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:35.000 only from a personal standpoint in his career, but also because he had set 112 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.080 that standard high like a council has done now. But you know, Michigan 113 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:43.720 State giving him all that money, and obviously nobody expected to have happened when 114 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:48.279 happened. But we can't forget that huge contract too that mel Tucker got. 115 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.919 You're right, You're right. I mean, one of the things in Council's 116 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.519 defense is he said that he needed and it was time for a new challenge 117 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.720 in his professional career, and that's I know why he went. And he 118 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.000 didn't want to go too far from home, because let's face it, Chicago 119 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:09.519 and Milwaukee are not that far our hour and a half depending on where you're 120 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.039 living. So he didn't want to be too far from his from his family. 121 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.360 He has a son that plays in Michigan, and he has a son 122 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:20.919 that plays in Minnesota, so staying pretty close and with his Midwestern ties, 123 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.440 staying in the Midwest are many Milwaukee fans happy about this. You know, 124 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.159 we have both sides of the fence. You have ones that are very torn 125 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.399 and very upset because he went to a division rival. But then you have 126 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.879 some that say he was never able to get us to the World Series. 127 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:43.960 We could never get off that hump and get the playoff wins. So whichever 128 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.480 side of the fence you are, you have to be happy for him as 129 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.399 a coach or as a manager because he did what he thought was in best 130 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:52.480 interest for him and his family. And this is a business, after all, 131 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.120 and that is his job. So well, you know, some candy 132 00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:01.879 jim Ma Leland spent Jim Leland spent many year with the Pirates, didn't get 133 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:03.159 it, didn't get a champ. I didn't get a chance to go to 134 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:07.840 World Series. Moved on to the Marlins, got a World Series, went 135 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.159 to Detroit, got a World Series. And you know, so you know, 136 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:16.480 Craig Council by moving on could get a World Series here and we'll see 137 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:20.320 he could. I do have something to add to it. Really stings for 138 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:26.279 the Brewers because they lost Mark Canna to the Tigers to this offseason there and 139 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:31.360 there are some pictures we might lose we might lose a lot more, be 140 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:35.240 a lot of movement. It's meetings right now. Yeah, you're right, 141 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:41.039 You're right. What I find interesting is is I think what this will do 142 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:46.279 is this will set a division between the big owners that have the big money 143 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.679 and then the smaller markets that can't, that don't have the owners that have 144 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:56.039 as deep a pockets. And I think it'll be interesting because I was talking 145 00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:00.000 about this on The Chicks Show as it like, you can look at the 146 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:05.480 NFL and we all know the Green Bay Packers is my team and we've been 147 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:11.120 really good with good quarterbacks for how long? But but who do we have 148 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.320 as an owner? They're not billionaires, they're the fans. So do they 149 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:22.200 make the moves as quickly as some of these billionaire owners who get upset with 150 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.240 managers that aren't doing as well and having the success. So I think this 151 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:33.399 will just be interesting how this keeps going in the industry where you have these 152 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.440 billionaires that may have as much money and then you have the smaller markets that 153 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.080 don't have quite the same money. How much of a division will there be 154 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:45.399 or will it just be Let's face it, you got to be lucky too 155 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:50.399 sometimes to get where you are. Look at Arizona Arizona this year. Yes, 156 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:56.039 they didn't make it all the way you know, yeah, oh you're 157 00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:01.919 talking about the Cardinals. I was like, what, no, yeah, 158 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.120 tear me. Cardinals have a little bit of a tough time this year with 159 00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:11.039 Johnathan gain And as our coach. So that that supposedly the fire up speech 160 00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:16.559 he gave prior to the season, I think I got an aneurysm trying to 161 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:20.519 decipher it to see if it was actually supposed to motivate him or demotivate that 162 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.960 team. It was bad. Yeah, he looks like Murph from The Impractical 163 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:30.120 Jokers. That's why I can't. I can't look at the guys. I 164 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:33.840 like catch at that's a good one. That is so, since we kind 165 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:39.720 of we're gonna switch down from MLB and let's switch over to NFL, let's 166 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:48.559 talk about the Rams and Carson Wentz finds himself another new home. Let's talk 167 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.519 Let's talk about Carson Wentz. The biggest question mark that I have is how 168 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.879 long will Stafford be out with that broken thumb on his throwing hand, because 169 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:01.759 that is why they had to do it, because, let's face it, 170 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:09.799 Brett Ripion, it looked like Justin Fields versus the Packers, he was awful. 171 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:16.039 I'm not trying to be mean to Justin Fields, but you only put 172 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:20.919 up three points with that offense. With Puka Nical playing and Cooper Cup playing, 173 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.759 they had two catches each for under fifty yards each. That's a travesty 174 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.440 to have that type of talent in the wide receiver room and get that lower 175 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:33.440 production. Think about it. Even as bad as the Lions played versus the 176 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:43.200 Ravens, they had more offensive production than that. I agree, ralph Uh, 177 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.440 you know what, Carson Wentz going to the Rams. We're gonna see 178 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.720 what happens with that. That's gonna be an interesting scenario. Their question is 179 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:54.480 can he resurrect himself? I mean, he's been He was with two teams 180 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:56.960 and didn't do well with either one of them or I'm sorry, three Tiss' 181 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.240 fourth team. I'm sorry was with Philly, you know, so you know 182 00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:05.360 we're gonna find out. I mean, is Carson Wentz gonna be one of 183 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:11.320 these kind of guys that just goes everywhere around the whole entire NFL and they 184 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:15.039 ended up playing for what ten teams before he finally makes something out of himself. 185 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:18.759 It's gonna be pretty sad to see that. They call him journeyman, 186 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:24.840 and I hope he doesn't become a severe journeyman. But it can't hurt the 187 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:30.320 Rams to have at least a quarterback with some kind of experience that can really 188 00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:33.799 come in and play. And Carson Wentz right now is what they have. 189 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.799 And he was available, so they scooped him up, which was great, 190 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.240 good, I mean good for them. Question is how good can he play 191 00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:46.799 with that offense there? We'll see, George, Well, the Rams have 192 00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:50.879 dug themselves such a big hole. Let's just be honest here. Yes, 193 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:54.559 I mean, you know, and Matthew Stafford is playing hurt. He has 194 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.120 had different injuries. I know going back to last season. He's a tough 195 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:03.519 competitor, are me and I know watching him perform here in Detroit for all 196 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:11.519 those years as a Detroit Lion. This guy he is still a tremendous quarterback. 197 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:12.960 But you're right, I mean, we have no idea. This is 198 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:17.039 like a wild card. And Ralph, like you said, you know, 199 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:21.399 journeyman quarterbacks they seem to bounce around and bounce around there. They're always they're 200 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:30.120 always in demand. Obviously in emergency situations. But but to succeed as an 201 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:34.039 emergency or backup whatever you want to call him is always a tough is a 202 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:38.720 tough not to crack. And you know, the Rams are obviously desperate right 203 00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:41.240 now. I mean, you know, if they even have any faint hopes 204 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:44.600 of trying to get a wild card, I mean, they got to start 205 00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:48.279 winning. And it's a tough situation, especially you know how far they followed 206 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:53.559 since the Super Bowl is really sad. But I'm enough, you know, 207 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.039 I'm smart enough to know, and the Detroit Lions are smart enough to know 208 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:03.599 that the that the Lions looked really good in that trade. Obviously, I 209 00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:07.119 mean, you never wish bad luck on anybody, but I'll tell you what, 210 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.240 you know, Carson Wentz is going to have his work cut out for 211 00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:15.839 him. There's such a lot there's a lot of problems over there, both 212 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.319 offensively and defensively. And Jeremy, you're right. I mean, you got 213 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:22.039 guys back in the lineup and you still can't complete more than a couple of 214 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:29.880 passes to each one of them, and it really it just doesn't look good 215 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:32.839 there. But again, let's give Carson a bed for the doubt. Let's 216 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:34.480 see what he can do, what he's got left in the tank. As 217 00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:42.839 the saying goes JT your take. My take is Carson Wentz in twenty twenty 218 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:48.240 one, which is just two years ago, through twenty seven touchdowns with seven 219 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.200 interceptions for the Colts. If you look over his numbers in his career, 220 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:57.079 he's only really had two or three seasons where his interceptions were close to his 221 00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:02.400 touchdown numbers. Do I think it is a good move. I think the 222 00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:04.799 Rams are three and six for a reason. I think their defense is getting 223 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:10.119 order. I even think Aaron Donald's not the Aaron Donald you know we're accustomed 224 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:15.079 to. They're getting order on defense. The offense, I think I can't 225 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.000 see Carson Wentz being that type of quarterback that can. They need a quick 226 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.440 a guy with a quick release because you're gonna be throwing a lot of short 227 00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:26.119 passes. I mean, that's what Cooper, Cupp and the Coop are. 228 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:30.039 They're like the old school Patriots kind of offense where they run five six yard 229 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:33.559 routes, catch the ball and just just destroy you the whole way down the 230 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:36.319 field like that. I don't know if Wentz is that type of quarterback. 231 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:41.519 He's a little bit more methodical. It's a little bit slower. I can't 232 00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.519 see him getting the release out as quick as like Matthew Stafford learned to do 233 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:49.039 when he came over. Let's face it to the Lions did win that trade, 234 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:52.440 but the Rams got what they wanted in that trade. They won a 235 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:56.039 Super Bowl, so I think it worked out both ways. I think the 236 00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:59.839 Rams are gonna be a team that picks in the top five next year. 237 00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:06.160 It may be time for them to look for the new quarterback in the future. 238 00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:11.960 Yeah, the mistake guys that the Rams made over the many years, 239 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:15.720 like George says, they got egg in their face because what happened was they 240 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:19.319 didn't even have a draft. I mean, Sean McVay went with free agents 241 00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:25.240 for what two maybe three years, finally had a draft this last draft. 242 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:29.160 I mean at least one or two picks before that. But still I don't 243 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:33.200 think he's even had a full draft. So when you can't draft and you 244 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.680 don't have anything to look forward to behind you in depth or anything, forget 245 00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:45.559 it. Yes, the one thing I will say is we have talked numerous 246 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:51.880 times on different shows about how important the preseason is so you have time to 247 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:56.759 gel and to work with your receivers and get up. So Carson Wentz coming 248 00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:06.079 in now it's a tall order because he hasn't worked with that offensive line, 249 00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:08.079 he hasn't worked with these coaches, he hasn't worked in this scheme, he 250 00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:14.039 hasn't worked with the wide receivers. And we all talk about how people need 251 00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:18.480 to gel and they need to be able to. Unless you're an elite quarterback, 252 00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:23.559 I think you need time to gel. And a lot of us have 253 00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:29.960 learned the hard way with some of our teams that it takes time. You 254 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:33.119 know, even like Jared Goff his first year with you guys, it wasn't 255 00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:40.559 lights out. He's progressing nicely and getting better and the team is playing better 256 00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:45.799 and they're surrounding him with better players. I also think, especially an old 257 00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:49.759 kind of an older quarterback like Carson who doesn't move around a lot, he 258 00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:53.960 has to have a really good offensive line. And if the offensive line isn't 259 00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:59.160 giving you time, it doesn't matter who unless, like I said, unless 260 00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:03.119 you're an elite and you can run around and get around a lot, you're 261 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:07.599 gonna have problems. So I think as much as I like to see him 262 00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:12.279 succeed, and I think he'll do. Okay, he's gonna have a tough 263 00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:18.119 time. I think personally. Let's not forget too his his personality might not 264 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:21.200 be a good match with this team. He's had some problems in the locker 265 00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:25.240 rooms in the past with Philly. When he left Washington, a couple of 266 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:29.000 the players bashed him right away, So I mean he might not be if 267 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:30.319 they start to If he comes in here and they start to really lose, 268 00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.680 he might just it might just blow up and it just might be a total 269 00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.599 free for all for the rest of the season as well. Yeah, good 270 00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:41.759 point. I'll say it again. Where there's two teams that should have signed 271 00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:48.079 a free agent quarterback and Carson Wentz wasn't the one. It was either the 272 00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:52.119 Gets or the Rams, and it should have been Colt McCoy. Yeah, 273 00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:55.359 he's stuck down in Arizona. I think or that he could go. He's 274 00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:59.920 a free agent right now. He got cut this offseason. Yeah, he's 275 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:04.559 speaking of Arizona. What the hell are they doing trading Josh Jobs and leaving 276 00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:08.960 it to be Kyler Murray as a starter when Modern Warfare just got released. 277 00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:15.400 He won't open the playbook with a new coach, But Candy's right though, 278 00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:19.319 by somebody like Carson Wentz's gonna have some time to understand your players. But 279 00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:25.359 Josh Dobbs went into Minnesota and he managed to have a win, and he 280 00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:27.960 said he didn't know the players' names, didn't know anybody from a canap paignt 281 00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:33.640 and you know, yeah, exactly. Well. He is a smart guy. 282 00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.519 He's got several engineering degrees. We just talked about him on a previous 283 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:42.079 show, Pundit's Fundent, and we were talking about how he graduated from Tennessee 284 00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:52.440 with an aeronautical aerospace engineering degree perfect grades. So he is he is really 285 00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:57.519 brilliant. Sorry, one of my guests that I've had on from another podcast, 286 00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:03.640 he calls them the past or not. Oh that's pretty good. No, 287 00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:11.839 that's good. Astronaut pass because he's a QB that has an astronaut and 288 00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.039 he was drafted in what twenty seventeen. He's been around what eight different teams? 289 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:18.880 I think we were talking about what a story, what a story in 290 00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:22.920 and he's had he's had positive moments. Everybody's went even in Pittsburgh, there 291 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.079 was a game or two where he uh, he came in and did what 292 00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:30.079 he had to do when when Ben went down for a quarter or something. 293 00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.680 So I I like the guy. I think, I actually think that he 294 00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.200 he could be Minnesota could be a team that that's that gets into the playoffs 295 00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:40.559 with the receivers they got, especially with with Jefferson coming back. I don't 296 00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:45.240 think they're gonna lose a lot on They're not gonna lose. They're gonna lose 297 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:49.039 something from Dobbs to Cousins, of course, but I think that dogs could 298 00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:53.279 could hold a ship and they can win some games. Yeah, he looked 299 00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:59.519 good this first game. I he's looked good everywhere he's played, other than 300 00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:03.200 a few times, like JT said, he played in Pittsburgh even he was 301 00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:06.680 okay. I mean, I just wish that, you know, he could 302 00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:10.799 have done more here in Pittsburgh. But you know, he won't hurt you. 303 00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:12.839 He won't hurt you. He's no, he's better than Trent Thof. 304 00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:15.119 I'm going to compare him to Trent Dolfer. But he's a guy that won't 305 00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.279 turn the bowl. He won't make stupid plays, so will at least keep 306 00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:22.039 you in the game. And they got a decent run game there with Madison. 307 00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:26.759 He's starting to come along and I actually I I sort of like the 308 00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.359 Vikings. I think the Lions are a team in a division by far, 309 00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:33.119 but I think the Vikings do have a chance to sneak in the NFC because 310 00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:36.359 I think a lot of the teams, like the Rams and the teams in 311 00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:38.920 the NFC westron as good as we thought they would be. All right, 312 00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:44.440 let's get back to the subjects here. Standy okay, okay, okay. 313 00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:48.440 How long do we think Stefford's going to be out if they're bringing somebody in, 314 00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:53.559 it's a minimum of four weeks, yeah, at least four at least 315 00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:56.680 four. I mean that's obviously you can't throw the ball. I mean you've 316 00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.279 got a finger that's broken or fractured. Yeah, and you're throwing hand, 317 00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:03.720 you're going to be it's gonna take some it's gonna take some time, yeah, 318 00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.880 you know. And they tried to downplay that injury last week. Remember 319 00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:11.279 up until Friday, Oh, he's been limited in practice and still throwing the 320 00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:15.680 ball. He might play. You know. That was to keep Vegas from 321 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:21.880 swaying the numbers the other way. They wanted everybody to bet on the Rams. 322 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:25.759 I don't know. I think it's going to be a long time like 323 00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:27.880 Jeremy said that, you know, and and and JT. You know, 324 00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:33.920 Candy, I think that he you know, he obviously loves to get back 325 00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.119 in there. I mean we know that from Detroit days. He does not. 326 00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:40.559 He is not happy not being a starter, being out of the field. 327 00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:45.160 But you still gotta let things heal. Look at what was that twenty 328 00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:49.279 nineteen when he had this micro fracture of his back. You put him in 329 00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:53.720 the season ending ir and he still got even though he wasn't able to play. 330 00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:57.279 He was dressed on the sidelines the last three games. He was like, 331 00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:02.079 it was like, come on, let's be an emergency activation because somebody 332 00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:11.839 gets hurt something. Yeah, okay, let's shift focus to Marvis Bryants, 333 00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:19.079 your suspension now back with the Cowboys. Let's start with Ralph. Let's start 334 00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:23.559 with you. Oh my, he's back. Uh. I can't wait to 335 00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:30.039 see this. And interesting thing is with the perfect team, the Dallas Cowboys. 336 00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:33.720 Let him stay down there, you know, but uh, we'll see, 337 00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.079 We'll see what happens with him. We'll see how far he goes well, 338 00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:40.799 how far he stretches it before he gets in trouble get or something to 339 00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:45.400 that effect. Okay, George, your take on Mars Bryant, Well, 340 00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:51.799 yeah, I mean, you know, if he can keep his house in 341 00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:55.680 order. Obviously that was a huge loss, losing to the Egos the other 342 00:26:55.759 --> 00:27:00.839 day, and Dallas is now sitting at five and three. And you know, 343 00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:03.920 one person doesn't make a team. We all know that, and obviously 344 00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:08.559 they need some they need some help. The Cowboys just they're just not They're 345 00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:14.559 sputtering. They play good one game, next game, So so you know, 346 00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:18.319 I think he can help them, I really do. Now can he 347 00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.680 Can he turn the team around to go on a long winning streak. I 348 00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:25.680 find that unlikely, but you never know. But I mean the fact that 349 00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:27.960 he's coming back in is in a time when they really need help, I 350 00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:33.119 think should do should bode well. But let's take a look, let's take 351 00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:34.920 a wait and see on that. But I think it should help the team, 352 00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:44.079 the Cowboys. JT. I think we should start a reality show and 353 00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:48.920 have Martavis Bryant and Josh Gordon just sit in the room for for as long 354 00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:51.720 as they can until one of the two get in trouble. Because it's it's 355 00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:56.240 getting it's getting old. It's heat has played in the XFO. He played 356 00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:00.160 eight games and he only had he put up fourteen catches for one hundred and 357 00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:03.599 fifty four yards, didn't score a touchdown that was in the XFO. I 358 00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:10.279 don't think he adds much if he didn't go to Dallas, he had to 359 00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:12.200 go to ve Las Vegas, because there are only two teams that every year 360 00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:18.119 just keep signing these players and and and try to try to make right out 361 00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:21.799 of them. But I think the guys, the guys past his prime. 362 00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:23.200 Of course, I think he's I mean, if he can add anything, 363 00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:26.160 was gonna be a fourth or a fifth receiver, and you always got to 364 00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:30.880 worry about the attitude. I think this is just a it's a bonehead play 365 00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:33.480 a lot. There's a lot of different free agent wide receivers out there that 366 00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:38.279 could have come in, or he could grab somebody off someone's practice squad. 367 00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:45.839 Jeremy, he's thirty one years old. Let's look at it this way. 368 00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:49.559 Josh Gordon, even though he missed two and a half seasons due to his 369 00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:55.799 suspensions, he at least still had wheels. He just didn't have hands anymore 370 00:28:55.799 --> 00:28:59.839 because he didn't get to practice his craft. We're talking about guy that has 371 00:28:59.880 --> 00:29:04.160 a played in five years. Two of those years were sixteen game team game 372 00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:08.519 seasons, which is thirty two games right there. Three of them were seventeen 373 00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:14.519 game seasons, which is another ninety one. He hasn't played in one hundred 374 00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:26.200 and thirty three games. His hands are gonna be like Will Harris's. I 375 00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:30.480 just I just think there's enough players. I was watching the Bears game tonight 376 00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:33.839 and Carolina just signed somebody off of a practice squad and he had a thirty 377 00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:37.680 yard catch. There's there's enough players out there that Dallas could have if they 378 00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:44.000 needed depth, they could have got somebody with less baggage on that one. 379 00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:47.799 It's Dallas in Las Vegas's way, though. They just love love giving these 380 00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:52.640 guys extra chances. Kind of reminds you when Russell Wilson had his last year 381 00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:57.880 in Seattle and they signed Josh Gordon. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I 382 00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:04.319 remember that. Mm hmm. Well, I guess I'm in a minority here, 383 00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:10.880 Candy. I'm the only one that's welcoming the guy back. But that's 384 00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:15.119 why I was laughing to George. Yeah, I mean, if he comes 385 00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:17.359 back and puts up numbers, good for him. I just saw him. 386 00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:19.720 If he gets three catches for thirty yards a game. It's a win for 387 00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:25.279 him, definitely, because he's going to be the wide receiver four or five 388 00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:29.599 on that depth chart that superseding CD Lamb, that's for sure, or Michael 389 00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:37.319 Gallup h bolks. Did they even say how much they they they're paying him? 390 00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:41.839 I mean they probably got him. No, I actually didn't. They 391 00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:45.960 paid him good. I couldn't believe it. They gave him five years and 392 00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:51.079 like thirty eight million with some of it guaranteed. Wow, wow, Ryan 393 00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:56.000 gave They gave him thirty eight million and a five year contract. Are you 394 00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:59.720 sure about that? He's thirty one years old. That's insane. I know, 395 00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:04.039 I know, but he's had no no mileage since he was twenty six. 396 00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:10.119 I guess that's what they're banking on. Yeah, that's true, that's 397 00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:14.799 true. Wow, that's crazy. Looking to eat he just said thet didn't 398 00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:19.160 eat it. I mean, that's too much for him, you know. 399 00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:22.599 Actually he just got he got a one year two hundred and eighty nine thous 400 00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:27.839 somebody said. Somebody said he's probably making league. Yeah, he got one 401 00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:30.640 year to eighty nine. Just looked it up. Yeah, good, he 402 00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:33.799 got the league the same, Thank god, because I thought they gave him 403 00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:37.839 that kind of money man. They posted he got a bag, you know, 404 00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.400 and they were throwing out all these crazy years and numbers, and I 405 00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:45.240 was like, who is he? Oh? I know, oh, I 406 00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:49.559 know him for his legal substances. Yeah, he showed, he showed some. 407 00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:53.160 He showed his true skill his rookie year of Pittsburgh. I he had. 408 00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:57.759 He was a receiver. We went through that whole stretch of receivers like 409 00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:00.920 Mike Wallace him. We just and I think we're getting that now with George 410 00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:05.880 Pickens again. We're gonna go through that diva receiver that's just gonna run himself 411 00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:08.759 out of time, which is getting getting old in Pittsburgh. But it's yeah, 412 00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:15.079 JT smoking, Jim and I agree on the same thing that he won't 413 00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:17.559 after his rookie contract. I don't think he'll be a Steeler. No, 414 00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:22.720 No, he's just they've they've been burned too many times by this. They 415 00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:29.559 can't do it anymore. Yes, Okay, Well, this weekend I have 416 00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:36.480 to say there is a football game where my team goes after mister Ralph Williams 417 00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:45.039 team jto Tooburgh. Guys, here, wait a minute, you've got NFC 418 00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:52.000 North heated rivals and then the team you're playing against, you're out number four 419 00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:59.200 to one. Yes, in more ways than one female the male too. 420 00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:07.519 I wasn't even going there. I was trying to be nice and that's okay. 421 00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:10.440 It is what it is. So George, what's your take on Packers 422 00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:16.119 at Steelers? Oh? My, oh my. I think that's going to 423 00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:21.640 be a good game. I really do. I'm looking for Pittsburgh to win, 424 00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:25.000 though. I think that they're they're playing a little bit better ball right 425 00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:30.799 now, and obviously both teams have had their share of losses, but I 426 00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:38.079 would definitely put some house money on Pittsburgh. Yeah, okay. As a 427 00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:44.519 coach, I love Tomlin. I know sometimes Ralph the city doesn't like him 428 00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:51.640 anymore, but he's done a good job. It's going to be a good 429 00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:53.559 game, though. I mean, you know, God, that's too well, 430 00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:59.799 too historic franchise, there's no question about it. Steelers and Packers. 431 00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:07.079 Oh yeah, Jeremy, your take, Well, the one thing that the 432 00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:12.360 Packers do well, the Steelers are not doing well on the other side of 433 00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:16.239 the ball with it, and that is passing defense. Right now, the 434 00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:22.280 Packers have the eighth passing defense and the Steelers are nowhere near eight than the 435 00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:25.960 NFL in passing, So I don't see the passing game beating them. But 436 00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:31.280 where they can get beat is their bottom ten still at rushing defense. Yes, 437 00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:35.199 they had a great performance against the Rams, but ever since they traded 438 00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:37.719 away Cam Akers, the Rams don't run the ball anyways, So that's a 439 00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:43.840 whole nother story. And that's one thing. The Steelers defense is good at 440 00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:47.000 that D line, and those front four linebackers are very good at getting after 441 00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:51.880 running backs. And then of course you got TJ. What and you got 442 00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:55.840 Cam on the line, and those guys are beese and you guys got line 443 00:34:55.840 --> 00:35:00.760 issues. So I think it's a race to seven. I think it's a 444 00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:04.760 low scoring game because neither offense is higher pipe Olton, So I think it's 445 00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:07.280 a race of seventeen and I got the Pittsburgh Steelers winning seventeen to ten. 446 00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:15.800 Okay, mister Ralph, Okay, thank you Candy. I think that every 447 00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:21.199 win this year, and I think JT agree with me that the Steelers are 448 00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:23.000 going to have is going to be a dog fight, because that's the way 449 00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:28.679 it's been all season. I don't see the Steelers winning by a big by 450 00:35:28.679 --> 00:35:31.559 a big chunk. They haven't yet this year, and we got to see 451 00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:37.880 what fourth quarter Kenny's going to do. And so what I'm thinking is I'm 452 00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:43.559 looking at, yeah, twenty to ten, maybe twenty to thirteen, something 453 00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:47.239 like that. That's what I'm looking at. Winning Steelers. Oh, but 454 00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:52.239 you said they don't win big. That's why I stuck with mine. They 455 00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:54.679 don't win big, but they win. And I've said this many times about 456 00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:58.880 the Steelers. It's better to be lucky than good, because they're not good, 457 00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:01.840 but they're lucky. So you know, sometimes it's better to be lucky 458 00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:08.320 than good. JG. I think it's both hit on the head and talked 459 00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:12.719 about the offensive line for green Bay being a little bit rough, and you 460 00:36:12.840 --> 00:36:16.800 got T. J. Watt, Cam Hayward and you got high Smith that 461 00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:20.760 are gonna put put up some put up some pressure all day long. I 462 00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:23.519 think Jordan Love is going to be a little rattled. But the one thing 463 00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:28.159 about Pittsburgh is and Ralph you know this as well. If the Steelers, 464 00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:31.159 if the Steelers are supposed to win, they don't always beat the teams they 465 00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:35.840 should beat. I mean, we got destroyed by we got destroyed by sections. 466 00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:39.360 Each year. We always seem to lose to the Jets or the Raiders. 467 00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:43.360 We always lose games that we shouldn't, but it's a home game. 468 00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:49.800 I think that's gonna help us out. I think that I think twenty four 469 00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:52.440 to twenty. I think that you know the I think Pickett. I think 470 00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:57.440 pickets starting to come around a little bit. I think that I wish we 471 00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:00.199 had friar Mouth. I think once we get friar Mouth back off full bit 472 00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:02.679 more comfortable with our offense. But I think twenty four to twenty. I 473 00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:06.800 can't give the Steelers more than a seven point win, so I'm going to 474 00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:15.079 go four. I think it comes down to how healthy Aaron Jones is, 475 00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:20.320 because I honestly think if Aaron Jones is healthy, because he's right now he's 476 00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:24.119 listed as questionable. He's had this hamstring issue. I think if he gets 477 00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:29.480 past that, I think we have more of a chance because that allows us 478 00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:34.400 to open up the game and allows well, let me say this, I 479 00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:38.199 hope not only is he healthy, but I hope we actually use him as 480 00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:43.280 we used to use him, because I think in the games that we've had 481 00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:49.320 him in, we have not used him to his potential. I think we 482 00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:52.960 haven't been healthy for most of the year we've been without Christian Watson or Aaron 483 00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:57.679 Jones or both, and I think if we have both of them in there, 484 00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:00.559 that it'll be a little bit different of a game. I think it's 485 00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:02.840 gonna be a tough game. I think it's going to be a battle. 486 00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:09.920 I do think that they had a good win. Whether I understand all of 487 00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:15.079 you talking about how bad the Rams are and everything like that, but I 488 00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:20.239 think for confidence wise, for Jordan Love and everything like that, that they 489 00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:22.920 needed that and I think that might help repel them. I think it'll be 490 00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:28.519 a close game. It is tough because it is in Pittsburgh, so I 491 00:38:28.599 --> 00:38:31.159 think that typically would figure you, guys, I think it's gonna be a 492 00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:35.079 close game. But I got to go with my hometown team, and I'm 493 00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:38.840 gonna say twenty seventeen Packers because the Packers have been playing really well in the 494 00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:43.239 fourth quarter, and I think that's when it might come down to if it's 495 00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:45.599 a tight game between the two teams, that it's the team that has the 496 00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:50.519 ball last, and maybe it'll be the Packers. That's Kenny Pikett's best quarter 497 00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:52.320 as well, though, so just to let you know that is his quarter 498 00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:57.519 Kenny. His first two quarters, he's basically non existent. So I wouldn't 499 00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:00.440 bet the game. I wouldn't be soft of the game. Six gun in 500 00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:04.239 the halftime, I think it's gonna be a lot Shortan Loves kind of the 501 00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:07.280 same quarterback. First and second quarter, he does nothing, and then he 502 00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:13.559 starts gradually getting better from the third quarter on. That's exactly right, exactly 503 00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:16.800 Kenny Pick. But if he gets rattled as we've seen and Candy, I 504 00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:22.440 hate to bring up beat the SD for your Packers, but you start getting 505 00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:29.000 pressure in the third quarter and he crumbles. That's what I've seen. It's 506 00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:32.239 no knock on him. He's a he's technically it may be his fourth year 507 00:39:32.239 --> 00:39:36.039 in the league, but it's as a starter. He's a rookie. Yeah, 508 00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:38.159 he's still a rookie because he had to sit behind Aaron Rodgers, just 509 00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:43.280 like I feel bad for Mason Rudolph. I mean, he sat behind Roethlis 510 00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:46.519 and he's still was sitting behind people. All three of the quarterbacks you said 511 00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:52.079 their first year in the NFL with this team did not do well. Farre 512 00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:55.519 stunk it up his first year with the Packers. Rogers was pitiful his first 513 00:39:55.559 --> 00:40:00.840 year with the Packers and Love has been had good moment and horrible moments. 514 00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:06.119 There is no in between with them. He doesn't have that consistency yet that's 515 00:40:06.119 --> 00:40:09.159 built up with time. That's usually a second or third year quarterback that gets 516 00:40:09.199 --> 00:40:15.440 into that fruition. Unfortunately, there's that other team that that's in the NFC 517 00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:20.159 North in Chicago, which that that guy. He never gets consistent from one 518 00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:25.360 game to the next. That's true, and I always compare to tell people 519 00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:29.360 in Pittsburgh that get on Kenny Pickett, and I understand why they're getting on 520 00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:32.599 them. But if you look at Kenny Pickett's first twenty five thirty games in 521 00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:37.360 the NFL and compare it to Trevor Lawrence, they're they're basically almost spitting image 522 00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:42.719 stats to be better. I know Trevor Lawrence is much higher of a ceiling, 523 00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:45.480 but that's just goes to show you that takes quarterbacks time in this league. 524 00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:49.679 I mean there's not every quarterback does, but c J. Strouts doing 525 00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:53.440 this year. You're seeing the opposite with Bryce Young. You're just seeing some 526 00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:57.119 quarterbacks get it right away. I mean brought Party got it right away, 527 00:40:57.159 --> 00:41:00.159 which was crazy, but he got it. And quarterbacks don't get it. 528 00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:05.039 It takes some year to get it. I think it's it also depends on 529 00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:09.159 the surrounding cast and the wide receivers. I mean, Christian, I'm sorry, 530 00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:13.880 but if you put Christian McCaffrey with Jordan Love, and I think Jordan 531 00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:16.239 Love would be a different person. I think. I think that makes it. 532 00:41:16.320 --> 00:41:20.679 That's why I brought Party was so successful Candy because he has a good 533 00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:24.519 supporting cast, and that's exactly what you need. An NFL speed. The 534 00:41:24.599 --> 00:41:30.760 college speed of the game is a whole different animal. And you know when 535 00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:32.400 you're in the NFL, the speed of the game is way different. You 536 00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:37.760 have to really get into the flow of the speed of the game. It's 537 00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:42.760 a big change, right, yes, from the college game, no question 538 00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:46.360 is. And I think going up against like I keep I know, I 539 00:41:46.440 --> 00:41:50.239 keep harping on this, but Bay is one of the youngest teams in the 540 00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:53.119 league, and they're wide receivers. I mean there may be what second year 541 00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:57.840 at best, and we don't have the veterans because a lot of the veterans 542 00:41:57.920 --> 00:42:02.239 went with mister Rogers over to the Jets or they left us. So I 543 00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:07.760 think that matters too, because I think when the defenses have been in sync 544 00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:12.440 for how long they're going to come after, and they know what to come 545 00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:16.559 after. I think more so than you know, a veteran wide receiver when 546 00:42:16.599 --> 00:42:21.760 he sees his quarterback in trouble, he knows what to do come back to. 547 00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:25.320 You know, they make adjustments. Yes, they make more adjustments on 548 00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:30.239 the playing field. And I think some of these young quarterbacks aren't doing that 549 00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:35.400 or don't even have I don't want to say they're not smart enough to, 550 00:42:35.559 --> 00:42:38.960 but they just they're not in sync with their receivers to do that. And 551 00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:44.480 I think that's coming out loud and clear. Yeah, that's true. I 552 00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:47.360 think the best thing a young quarterback in the NFL has is a good tight 553 00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:52.000 end. I firmly believe it. I think I think Kittle Kittle did a 554 00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:58.840 lot for Party last year. I think Evan Ingram and Jacksonville is putting up 555 00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:01.280 nice numbers with Trevor Lawrence. I think you need that like safety blanket, 556 00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:05.639 and I think that Pickett don't have that right now with with Friar. I 557 00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:07.280 know Green Bay did a good job. I like I like Musgrave, I 558 00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:12.719 like the tight end. Yeah, what about Detroit with Golf and Laporta that's 559 00:43:12.760 --> 00:43:15.960 another one. I mean, you need that. You need a good in 560 00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:17.440 today's day in Ames. You need a tight end that's gonna be your your 561 00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:21.519 safety under under ever in the middle, that you can throw to. And 562 00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:24.360 and I think that once Green Bay gets echoing and it don't, let's not 563 00:43:24.519 --> 00:43:28.400 let's not lie. I mean, the last four years, the joke of 564 00:43:28.440 --> 00:43:31.079 every NFL draft was green Day never taken a wide receiver, and it's sort 565 00:43:31.159 --> 00:43:35.440 of catch it caught up to you. I mean it did you know? 566 00:43:35.599 --> 00:43:37.079 But I mean I like Watson. I think that, you know, I 567 00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:42.039 think it's gonna be it's gonna be different going forward. I think the mindset 568 00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:45.639 was tit Aaron Rodgers, give him, give him a Randall Cob, he'll 569 00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:46.559 do good. And he did and they did. But I mean, I 570 00:43:46.559 --> 00:43:50.840 think now with a younger quarterback, I think you'll you'll start to build a 571 00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:53.760 better receiving core for him. It just takes time. I think, yep, 572 00:43:54.239 --> 00:44:01.559 I agree. Anybody want to do a parting shot, Jeremy. I 573 00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:07.400 said it here last year around Thanksgiving or no, I mean just after the 574 00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:12.559 draft when we did our little draft review and I talked about our udfas and 575 00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:19.360 who was my first UDFA profile this season. Trevor Nawawski, the GLEEAC Defensive 576 00:44:19.400 --> 00:44:22.480 Player of the Year in Division two college football right in Saginaw Valley State, 577 00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:29.400 a graduate of West Campton High School just outside of Detroit, gets called up 578 00:44:29.400 --> 00:44:34.360 to the active roster to roster to the team he followed his entire childhood. 579 00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:37.480 I think it's great for him. He's got size, he's got speed. 580 00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:42.000 He can cover the tight end, which is something our linebackers have been struggling 581 00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:45.679 with. So you may see him in some passing downs. But more importantly, 582 00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:50.440 with Cabinda being out and not being able to play full back in special 583 00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:54.840 teams and Rodrigo just being transferred to that position of full back while Cabinda's hurt, 584 00:44:55.159 --> 00:44:59.000 it makes sense to use him more in special teams, where he showed 585 00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:05.360 out in the in the preseason in Week two and Week three. Ralph, 586 00:45:05.360 --> 00:45:07.920 do you have a parting shot? Yeah? I do. All I want 587 00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:12.119 to say is good luck to more Tavius Bryant. We'll see where he goes, 588 00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:15.400 We'll see what he does, and that's all I can say. I 589 00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:21.880 mean, you know, but I do have one thing, hope he stays 590 00:45:21.920 --> 00:45:30.639 away from that stuff. That's it, George, you have a parting shot. 591 00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:35.719 My parting shot is Welcome to Detroit. The Tigers announced today that the 592 00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:42.119 Chicago White Sox announcer Jason Bennetti is moving to Motown. He's going to do 593 00:45:42.159 --> 00:45:45.199 at the minimum of one hundred and twenty seven games play by play voice of 594 00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:51.960 the Detroit Tigers. This man is an incredible story, battling cerebral palsy all 595 00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:57.199 these years, living a dream of being a broadcaster and then obviously a play 596 00:45:57.199 --> 00:46:00.599 by play man in Major League Baseball. He's certainly one of the top voices 597 00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:06.599 in sports. And the Tigers made a great decision today bringing a veteran broadcaster 598 00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:14.800 and to succeed Matt Shepherd on their television side. Jason is a wonderful story 599 00:46:14.840 --> 00:46:17.599 and like I said, he's got some great He's got a great voice, 600 00:46:17.679 --> 00:46:24.079 and he knows baseball. He loves baseball. He's been obviously a lifelong follower 601 00:46:24.159 --> 00:46:29.159 of the White Sox. But get ready, Tigers, because you got a 602 00:46:29.199 --> 00:46:32.800 good one. I'm glad they hired them. Welcome to Detroit. There you 603 00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:36.960 go, j T. Do you have a parting shot tonight? First off, 604 00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:38.360 I want to say thank you guys, for letting me join the day 605 00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:43.480 was awesome tonight, and I'm gonna stick with Detroit, but I'm gonna go 606 00:46:43.559 --> 00:46:47.320 with Michigan. Michigan ran for four hundred and eighteen yards last year against Penn 607 00:46:47.360 --> 00:46:52.960 State and Penn State. They're going up against the same two running backs and 608 00:46:53.000 --> 00:46:59.039 against maybe a better offensive line this year with Michigan. So look for Michigan 609 00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:02.760 to run for about three hundred, three hundred and fifty yards and McCarthy to 610 00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:08.360 throw all day, and look for Michigan to cement their cement undefeated record with 611 00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:13.719 a big win this weekend against Penn State. It's funny you bring up Michigan 612 00:47:14.519 --> 00:47:17.960 because the report came out that the NCLA Double A is gonna do nothing but 613 00:47:19.199 --> 00:47:23.800 hit him with a fine for the sign sealing stuff. Why their independent their 614 00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:30.400 independent investigators found out that Rutgers, Ohio State, Michigan State, Indiana, 615 00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:35.360 and I think wake for no, I'm talking about just in the Big ten 616 00:47:36.199 --> 00:47:44.360 and per don't all re sealing stealing signs from Michigan and then put it out 617 00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:50.599 make it even worse. Ohio State at Rutgers sold the signs they stole to 618 00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:58.039 per Don't for the Big championship and produce still that couldn't win knowing what the 619 00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:06.880 signs were for. Shame, shame, shame. That's breaking news from Jeremy. 620 00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:09.199 I love it. Well, you know what, Jeremy, thank you 621 00:48:09.239 --> 00:48:13.599 because guess what, I just got something from my bum show tomorrow, My 622 00:48:13.679 --> 00:48:16.360 external bum show in the morning with Shay t will be a part of Yeah. 623 00:48:16.840 --> 00:48:22.760 Scott tim Petiti from came on to Woodward, I mean, I'm the 624 00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:25.320 ticket the other night and said, more than likely there'll be nothing because we 625 00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:32.480 can't find anything more than what every other team in the Big ten does already. 626 00:48:32.599 --> 00:48:37.039 So my parting shot, I don't know if any of you are or 627 00:48:37.079 --> 00:48:40.679 not, but my parting shot is just to say thank you to all the 628 00:48:40.760 --> 00:48:47.960 veterans out there. Yeah, Saturdays, and we owe them everything. Yeah, 629 00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:52.039 and so I just want to say thank you to anybody that is a 630 00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:58.679 veteran or that even has military in their family, because I do know the 631 00:48:58.719 --> 00:49:02.760 sacrifices that the family only goes through as well. So thank you. Good 632 00:49:02.800 --> 00:49:07.159 call all the veterans. Happy Veterans Day. Yeah, Happy Veterans Day. 633 00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:13.000 We celebrate you that day for generation straight in my family has third in the 634 00:49:13.039 --> 00:49:15.880 military. Yeah. My dad served two tours in Vietnam, and my dad 635 00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:22.119 and my mom too nice. My dad was in Germany, my brother in 636 00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:28.400 law John was in Germany, and my godson Nathan was in uh Well, 637 00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:31.960 the Pacific region in the Navy. I have two uncles. They both were 638 00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:37.719 in Vietnam. And then I had a friend of mine who actually was killed 639 00:49:37.719 --> 00:49:45.280 in Afghanistan during the desert storm. So I do near and dear taps. 640 00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:49.480 Whenever I hear taps, it's it's near and dear to my heart. So 641 00:49:50.280 --> 00:49:53.679 but I do. For years I worked in a VA hospital. I worked 642 00:49:53.679 --> 00:49:59.159 in a credit union inside the hospital. And so veterans are near and dear 643 00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:02.360 to my heart. They have such stories. They sacrificed everything for all of 644 00:50:02.440 --> 00:50:08.920 us. A roofing company today for Veterans Day, gave a veteran of free 645 00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:15.119 roof on his out awsome. Yeah, a roofing company here, that's great. 646 00:50:15.639 --> 00:50:22.320 Yeah. My grandfather was a frogman back before they had the Navy Seals. 647 00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:25.519 That's what they were called. They were the frogmen. He served. 648 00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:30.599 He served not only in the European field of war. He came back home 649 00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:35.679 on leave, married my grandma and got called back out to the Pacific realm 650 00:50:35.719 --> 00:50:38.800 of war. Wow, he was at Normandy. He stormed the beaches. 651 00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:42.920 He was the one that set up the little blinking beachhead so they knew where 652 00:50:42.920 --> 00:50:47.800 to land the craft drop off the troops on the shores.
