33
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:50.439

34
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.000
<v Speaker 2>with him. Makes me sick sometimes, but then I just

35
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.239
<v Speaker 2>kind of watch and I go, Okay, he's good and

36
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.959
<v Speaker 2>I can't play like that again. Ryan, Thanks for being here.

37
00:01:58.760 --> 00:01:59.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, thanks for having me.

38
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>A lot to talk about. The Olympics are going are

39
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:05.519
<v Speaker 2>full on. Uh, there's been a lot of stuff over

40
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.120
<v Speaker 2>the weekend. I'm having trouble keeping up with it. But

41
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 2>one thing I didn't have trouble keeping up with was

42
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:13.479
<v Speaker 2>watching Chase Buddinger this morning. Uh. For those of you

43
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 2>who remember Chase, he was here in the mid nineties,

44
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:18.960
<v Speaker 2>played towards the tail end of a louto I mean

45
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:23.560
<v Speaker 2>nineties two thousands, tail end of lude Olsen's time at Arizona.

46
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:26.400
<v Speaker 2>He was a McDonald's All American and I found I

47
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:28.159
<v Speaker 2>saw today as they were talking about him. He was

48
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.639
<v Speaker 2>a mcuh cole McDonald co MVP of the McDonald's All

49
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 2>America game with Kevin Durant of all people.

50
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 3>You know, I was thinking about this several weeks back

51
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:41.560
<v Speaker 3>when he qualified for the Olympics. But it's unbelievable to me,

52
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:44.120
<v Speaker 3>and I don't think people will realize that that guy

53
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:47.719
<v Speaker 3>is one of the best in the world in two

54
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 3>separate sports. Yeah, I mean, that's unbelievable.

55
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, I mean you talk about your you know

56
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.319
<v Speaker 2>your I mean, he's not Bo Jackson, he's not Deon Sanders,

57
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:58.680
<v Speaker 2>but you're right the best. You know, if you're an

58
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.120
<v Speaker 2>NBA player and he seven years in the NBA something

59
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:03.439
<v Speaker 2>like that, you're you're one of the best in the

60
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:05.639
<v Speaker 2>world to ever play the game of basketball. And now

61
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 2>he's in the Olympics as a beach volleyball player. As

62
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:11.879
<v Speaker 2>I recall when he was being recruited, he I think

63
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.240
<v Speaker 2>he's seriously considered. Maybe I'm confusing him with Judd Buschler,

64
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 2>but I think he seriously considered playing volleyball instead of basketball.

65
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:21.120
<v Speaker 2>Decided to come, you know, I think he felt his

66
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.240
<v Speaker 2>financial future was better, you know, in basketball. But he

67
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.240
<v Speaker 2>was an equally good, you know, high school volleyball player

68
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:29.599
<v Speaker 2>when he came here. Look, the guy can leap out

69
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:33.159
<v Speaker 2>of the building. Incredibly athletic. He's tall, he's got these

70
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.280
<v Speaker 2>long arms. So I watched his match today. I don't

71
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.159
<v Speaker 2>know if you saw it, Ryan, but he was dominant.

72
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:40.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how you get the ball past him.

73
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:43.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he absolutely was. And I was thinking back to

74
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.280
<v Speaker 3>his career here at Arizona as far as basketball, and

75
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.199
<v Speaker 3>if you remember, he was kind of here during some

76
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.280
<v Speaker 3>some turmoil, some tough times, and it probably could have

77
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:55.120
<v Speaker 3>left after his freshman year, and it's kind of stuck

78
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:58.439
<v Speaker 3>it out for a few years. So, you know, just

79
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 3>a really really good athlete.

80
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.199
<v Speaker 2>Really good athlete, and seemingly a really good guy. You're

81
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.120
<v Speaker 2>rooting for him, you know, again, watch him play. They

82
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.439
<v Speaker 2>played France today, so they had they had the crowd

83
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 2>going against him, and they just dominated him. They beat

84
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.680
<v Speaker 2>him in two games. And uh and it wasn't it

85
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:16.360
<v Speaker 2>wasn't close. And you know, but I mean, look, I

86
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 2>only watched beach volleyball really during the Olympics. I you know,

87
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 2>I you know, we've had the women's beach volleyball coaching

88
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Arizona on the show, but I've had not been out

89
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:27.279
<v Speaker 2>to a meet. I've seen him on TV a little bit,

90
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.759
<v Speaker 2>but you know, I really pay attention to it only

91
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:33.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, in the Olympics, and I'm fascinated by the sport.

92
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.279
<v Speaker 2>You know, there's the whole Maverick and Goose thing from

93
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:38.879
<v Speaker 2>Top Gun and you see those guys playing. You're watching

94
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:43.519
<v Speaker 2>two people play volleyball. It seems like an extraordinarily hard sport.

95
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.399
<v Speaker 2>But he made it look so easy today. He was

96
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:48.160
<v Speaker 2>just incredible.

97
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:51.600
<v Speaker 3>And certainly the link helps, right, I mean six seven

98
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:56.839
<v Speaker 3>and long and with twitchy muscles, I mean that obviously

99
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.360
<v Speaker 3>plays a big factor in his game. Right. Yeah. It

100
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.800
<v Speaker 3>it just blows my mind that the guy is one

101
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.800
<v Speaker 3>of the best in the world. Yeah, in two separate sports.

102
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, if there's a better if there's a better beach

103
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.199
<v Speaker 2>volleyball team in the Olympics, I'm interested to see it

104
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:15.839
<v Speaker 2>to see how good they are, because it's not just

105
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:17.879
<v Speaker 2>about blocking at the net and all those kinds of things.

106
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.079
<v Speaker 2>You gotta do a lot of things. But they did

107
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:23.199
<v Speaker 2>them all and and those two guys were just really good.

108
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:24.920
<v Speaker 2>And it was really fun to watch because I'm like,

109
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, they did a profile of him. They showed him,

110
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, coming up through high school, his McDonald's All

111
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.639
<v Speaker 2>America stuff. Then they showed him in the Arizona uniform

112
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 2>and then in the Houston Rockets uniform, and now he's

113
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.720
<v Speaker 2>playing beach volle He's thirty six years old, so he's

114
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:40.480
<v Speaker 2>not a spring chicken to be out there competing at

115
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:41.000
<v Speaker 2>this level.

116
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:45.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no question about it. And you look across the

117
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.160
<v Speaker 3>board in the Olympics and then it's full of twenty three,

118
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.839
<v Speaker 3>twenty four year olds, and yeah, it'll be fascinating to

119
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.720
<v Speaker 3>see how they do in these next matches.

120
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, it's must watch TV. And if you, especially

121
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.639
<v Speaker 2>if you're from Tucson, you and your follow Arizona basketball,

122
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker 2>you followed him when he was here. You can't help

123
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:05.439
<v Speaker 2>a root for him because again, he was one of

124
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:07.600
<v Speaker 2>the good guys when he was here. As you said,

125
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:09.920
<v Speaker 2>he was here during a very tough time pares on

126
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.000
<v Speaker 2>a basketball. He stuck with it, got his team to

127
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:17.920
<v Speaker 2>the Sweet sixteen unexpectedly that last year under Russ panel,

128
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:21.040
<v Speaker 2>and you know, you just got it. You just got

129
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:22.360
<v Speaker 2>to be rooting for me, and it was it was

130
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:24.560
<v Speaker 2>fun to watch. I mean, I'm sitting there, I'm just

131
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:28.360
<v Speaker 2>waking up, you know, still, you know, rubbing the sleep

132
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.160
<v Speaker 2>out of my eyes. And a friend of mine texted

133
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.959
<v Speaker 2>and said, hey, Chase buddingers on in three minutes if

134
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:36.720
<v Speaker 2>you're interested. Turned on Peacock and it was on, and

135
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:38.480
<v Speaker 2>I just sat there and watched it. Beat all O.

136
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Matches don't last a long time. You don't have to

137
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.000
<v Speaker 2>sit there for an hour, right, I mean it was

138
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.439
<v Speaker 2>over in thirty five forty minutes. It was two quick sets.

139
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:47.639
<v Speaker 2>I know, I'm sure it goes to three sets. It

140
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.639
<v Speaker 2>takes longer, but it was quick. Watched it, got up,

141
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:52.959
<v Speaker 2>had my coffee and got my day going. So it

142
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:55.600
<v Speaker 2>was great to watch him. So congratulations to Chase. A

143
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.319
<v Speaker 2>lot of other UFA people that are competing. We saw

144
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:04.199
<v Speaker 2>men's basketball yesterday. They they look touchy in the first half.

145
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Uh you know, Serbia's good. I heard a stat that

146
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:12.399
<v Speaker 2>when when uh Nikola Jokic was on the was on

147
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.800
<v Speaker 2>the court, the teams were about even, but when he

148
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.199
<v Speaker 2>was off the court, they got outscored by twenty six points.

149
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.079
<v Speaker 2>And that's how in the United States just has more

150
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:21.839
<v Speaker 2>guys than they do.

151
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:24.519
<v Speaker 3>Oh, no question that. That's where the United States is

152
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:26.639
<v Speaker 3>going to excel in this tournament. It's just the depth

153
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:27.160
<v Speaker 3>that they have.

154
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:31.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what's the name Jason Tatum didn't even play play,

155
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.519
<v Speaker 2>didn't even play, right, I mean, Henry, I mean, what

156
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:37.360
<v Speaker 2>do you do with that? Right? I mean, we didn't

157
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.199
<v Speaker 2>even need him and we and we kicked your ass

158
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:40.639
<v Speaker 2>because they because they're being pretty good.

159
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:44.399
<v Speaker 3>I feel like a lot of people were complaining about

160
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:45.399
<v Speaker 3>him not playing.

161
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:48.720
<v Speaker 2>But they were yeah, you know. And Kerr answered to that,

162
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.319
<v Speaker 2>he said, look, he even said I heard the interview,

163
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:53.680
<v Speaker 2>said I told him before the game, the way lines

164
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:55.839
<v Speaker 2>up with who they're, who they have and who we have,

165
00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.160
<v Speaker 2>he might play out like this, you might not play.

166
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.040
<v Speaker 2>And he said Tatum handled it very well, and you know,

167
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:04.920
<v Speaker 2>he said, look, he'll play in the next game, and

168
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:08.079
<v Speaker 2>he will, but you know, again, you know, Katie who

169
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:10.759
<v Speaker 2>hadn't even practiced and hadn't played, he didn't play in

170
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.920
<v Speaker 2>any of the exhibition games, and he goes off. I mean,

171
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:15.680
<v Speaker 2>he was incredible in that first half.

172
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:20.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, and talking about the depth, it's not like,

173
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.160
<v Speaker 3>you know, one through thirteen, you can play every single guy, right,

174
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.839
<v Speaker 3>fifteen twenty minutes a game. It's right, that's just not

175
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.560
<v Speaker 3>how it works in the flow of things. So yeah,

176
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.840
<v Speaker 3>very interested to see how things progress going forward, and

177
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:35.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure Jason Tatum's going to see his time probably

178
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:36.080
<v Speaker 3>in the next round.

179
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:39.360
<v Speaker 2>I think Serbia was up like maybe ten early on,

180
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.000
<v Speaker 2>either in the first quarter or something like that, and

181
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh, you know, I'm like, you know what,

182
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:45.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, what's happening here, and it was kind of

183
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:49.799
<v Speaker 2>like relax, everybody, just relax, you know. They took charge.

184
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Lebron was good, Kad was excellent. Devin Booker came in

185
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:55.480
<v Speaker 2>at a time I think they were down, and he

186
00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:57.480
<v Speaker 2>had a couple of three pointers the first two times

187
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:02.840
<v Speaker 2>he touched the ball. He's funny watching Joel Andbi get booed,

188
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:07.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, because he's got both France and US citizenships,

189
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:08.879
<v Speaker 2>so they're pissed that he went and played for the

190
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.320
<v Speaker 2>US instead of going to play for Friends, which would

191
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:13.919
<v Speaker 2>have been interesting because with with with who they've got

192
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:17.000
<v Speaker 2>for him to go over there. But he was essentially

193
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:21.519
<v Speaker 2>not wholly effective. But nobody had to be great yesterday,

194
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:25.159
<v Speaker 2>even though Kevin Durant was great, nobody had to be

195
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:26.399
<v Speaker 2>great for them to win that game.

196
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:30.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no question. And again I think, you know, you

197
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:32.960
<v Speaker 3>look at the roster that the US put together. I

198
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.000
<v Speaker 3>mean there's just superstars up and down the line up,

199
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.120
<v Speaker 3>so kind of pick your poison.

200
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.759
<v Speaker 2>Guess my wife was watching the game with me, just

201
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:43.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, was on and yesterday morning, and you know,

202
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying, you know, just explaining how hard it

203
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:49.799
<v Speaker 2>must be for Steve Kerr to coach a team like this,

204
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:56.080
<v Speaker 2>right with so many stars, clearly, so many egos, and

205
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.600
<v Speaker 2>and you know, she was she was like, well, shouldn't

206
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:00.480
<v Speaker 2>they just always win this? I said, well, they went

207
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:02.399
<v Speaker 2>through a period where they didn't. You know, they came

208
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:04.720
<v Speaker 2>out with the Dream Team back in ninety six, I

209
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:06.440
<v Speaker 2>think ninety two or ninety six, don't I think it

210
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:09.480
<v Speaker 2>was ninety ninety two. The Dream Team comes on ninety two.

211
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:11.399
<v Speaker 2>Then they had Dream Team too in ninety six. They

212
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.799
<v Speaker 2>kicked everybody's ass. Then it kind of got like there

213
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:16.399
<v Speaker 2>were a lot of NBA guys who just decided, I

214
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:18.799
<v Speaker 2>don't really care about this. They didn't play in at

215
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:21.320
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of them. We lost a couple of Olympics,

216
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:23.200
<v Speaker 2>and all of a sudden, everybody got fired up again.

217
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:24.879
<v Speaker 2>To now you got these guys who are coming here,

218
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:27.679
<v Speaker 2>and I think probably guys like Lebron and those guys

219
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:29.960
<v Speaker 2>had a lot to do with saying, look, we're the

220
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.440
<v Speaker 2>best in the world. Let's go show them that we're

221
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:34.960
<v Speaker 2>the best in the world. Plus other teams started getting

222
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:36.519
<v Speaker 2>good and it wasn't you know, it wasn't a waste

223
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:38.480
<v Speaker 2>of time to go play in the Summer Olympics. So

224
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:40.080
<v Speaker 2>it's great to see them get off to a good

225
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:44.399
<v Speaker 2>start and we'll see what happens. All right, We've got

226
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.399
<v Speaker 2>a fun show, I think for you today we're gonna

227
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:49.480
<v Speaker 2>start talking some football. We've got a lot of Olympics

228
00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:51.519
<v Speaker 2>stuff to talk about. We're gonna talk some football today,

229
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:55.600
<v Speaker 2>both NFL and the u A. In the first hour

230
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:58.799
<v Speaker 2>here coming up in in about ten minutes. We were

231
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:02.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna have at Finley. He's a good friend Formerers and

232
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:05.799
<v Speaker 2>Daily Star reporter covered airs on a football he's uh,

233
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:08.639
<v Speaker 2>he's in Chicago now. He covers the Bears and he's

234
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:12.600
<v Speaker 2>the NFL beat writer for the Chicago Sun Times. And

235
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:16.360
<v Speaker 2>so we're gonna, uh, we're gonna talk with him about

236
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.039
<v Speaker 2>not only the Bears, but stuff going on around the league.

237
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:22.080
<v Speaker 2>A couple of major, major contracts signed over the weekend

238
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:25.120
<v Speaker 2>with some quarterbacks I've got some issues with I think

239
00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:30.799
<v Speaker 2>both of them. H And so it we'll talk to

240
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.000
<v Speaker 2>him and see what he says. He's covering the Bear,

241
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:36.600
<v Speaker 2>so we'll ask him about Caleb Williams and how's he doing. Uh.

242
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:39.120
<v Speaker 2>He had a story on Caleb Williams just this morning

243
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.440
<v Speaker 2>where he Caleb basically says, I'm ready to go. We'll

244
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:45.480
<v Speaker 2>see you know, we'll see you know.

245
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.799
<v Speaker 3>We both watched a lot of USC obviously being in

246
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.279
<v Speaker 3>the Pac twelve, and you could see it obviously has

247
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.120
<v Speaker 3>incredible talent, but there's there's some flaws there that aren't

248
00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.240
<v Speaker 3>gonna work all the time in the NFL. So right,

249
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.919
<v Speaker 3>I'm really really interested, more than almost anybody I've seen

250
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:05.519
<v Speaker 3>come into into the league at the quarterback position, uh,

251
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:07.639
<v Speaker 3>to kind of see how exactly how he's going to

252
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:08.879
<v Speaker 3>perform exactly.

253
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:10.879
<v Speaker 2>And well, people would be watching, right, you're the number

254
00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:13.159
<v Speaker 2>one pick in the draft. They always watch the number

255
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:15.559
<v Speaker 2>one pick in the draft. You always have people rooting

256
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:19.000
<v Speaker 2>against guys like that. Look I'm rooting. I'm rooting for him,

257
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:21.759
<v Speaker 2>you know. I mean, he's not done anything wrong to me.

258
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:25.279
<v Speaker 2>He was at USC, he was pretty good. I thought

259
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:27.720
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think honestly, didn't think he was the best

260
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:29.679
<v Speaker 2>quarterback in the Pac twelve last year. I thought that

261
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:31.799
<v Speaker 2>was Michael Pennix. And I've said that a million times

262
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:36.200
<v Speaker 2>and the record showed it. I thought he was the better.

263
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:38.399
<v Speaker 2>I thought Penis was the better quarterback. And now the obviously,

264
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:40.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm not an NFL scout, so they obviously thought,

265
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:43.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, he's a better guy. The draft of number one,

266
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Penis went later in the first round. You know, he's

267
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.679
<v Speaker 2>going to be a backup quarterback this year behind Kirk

268
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Cousins over in Atlanta. So let's see what happens. But

269
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I did, like, if you're asking me about pro quarterbacks,

270
00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:58.879
<v Speaker 2>I did like Michael Pennis better.

271
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:01.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean there's no question he was a better

272
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:05.320
<v Speaker 3>college quarterback, at least at least last year. Yeah. Leading

273
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:07.759
<v Speaker 3>Washington all the way to the title game. And then

274
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.000
<v Speaker 3>one of Washington's key guys, Roma Doonsdays on the Chicago area,

275
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:14.559
<v Speaker 3>right Williams is gonna have a have a chance to, uh,

276
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:16.840
<v Speaker 3>you know, do some really special things with them.

277
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So so talk a little bit about that with

278
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:21.679
<v Speaker 2>Pat coming up, and then in the in the second hour,

279
00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:24.399
<v Speaker 2>we've got Greg Hanson joining us. We're on the eve

280
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:27.960
<v Speaker 2>of Arizona football starting their camp. There'll be a press

281
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.919
<v Speaker 2>conference tomorrow with with Brent Brennan. The media is invited

282
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:33.960
<v Speaker 2>to come in and have a chat with him. We'll

283
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:35.919
<v Speaker 2>have some lunch with him and just kick things around.

284
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:39.159
<v Speaker 2>We'll play that press we'll play that press conference on

285
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:42.480
<v Speaker 2>the show tomorrow, and then they start practice Wednesday morning.

286
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.559
<v Speaker 2>Practices are open. They started I believe nine thirty or

287
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:47.720
<v Speaker 2>nine forty in the morning. If you want to get

288
00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:50.759

289
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:53.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna run through it with Greg. He's been doing some

290
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:54.679
<v Speaker 2>stories on some of the Big twelve teams. He had

291
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.559
<v Speaker 2>a big call him on on Central Florida yesday, which

292
00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:59.840
<v Speaker 2>is I think one are the mystery teams to us,

293
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:02.120
<v Speaker 2>just a team that we don't know much about, right

294
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:04.600
<v Speaker 2>We've heard of Kansas State, We've heard of Kansas, We've

295
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:07.799
<v Speaker 2>heard of Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Baylor. I don't know

296
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:09.840
<v Speaker 2>that we know that much about Central Florida, and I

297
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:11.759
<v Speaker 2>don't know that people realize how good they might be.

298
00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:15.919
<v Speaker 3>And it seems like they're in ils pretty good too, right,

299
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean they're getting players, they're getting high school players

300
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:21.440
<v Speaker 3>or getting good players from the state of Florida. Obviously,

301
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:23.039
<v Speaker 3>if you can get some pretty good players from the

302
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.480
<v Speaker 3>state of Florida, you're got a pretty good chance to

303
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:25.799
<v Speaker 3>be good.

304
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:29.679

<v Speaker 2>going on. Pat. How you doing.

<v Speaker 2>We're good. We're good. It's hot as hell, but we're good.

405
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:34.880
<v Speaker 2>I golfed on Saturday afternoon, which by about the twelfth hole,

406
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:37.680
<v Speaker 2>I started thinking it was a big mistake, but I

407
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:40.400
<v Speaker 2>grinded through it, and you know, and I got myself home,

408
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:40.720
<v Speaker 2>so I did.

409
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:43.160
<v Speaker 12>Okay, I think it rained.

410
00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:46.680
<v Speaker 13>I think it ran maybe three inches today here. So yeah,

411
00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:48.680
<v Speaker 13>so we all have our problems there, Jay.

412
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So Pat covering the Chicago Bears that you have

413
00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:54.880
<v Speaker 2>in for a bunch of years, also covering the NFL overall.

414
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:57.319
<v Speaker 2>But let's first go to the Bears, because both Ryan

415
00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:01.640
<v Speaker 2>and I were talking about Caleb Williams is kind of

416
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:05.599
<v Speaker 2>like almost the story of the year, at least going

417
00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:08.519
<v Speaker 2>into the season in terms of everybody wanted to see.

418
00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:10.240
<v Speaker 2>He's wanting to see what's gonna happen? So I want

419
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:11.680
<v Speaker 2>to go there first. You did it, You wrote a

420
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.799
<v Speaker 2>story about him this morning. Just give us the lowdown

421
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.319
<v Speaker 2>on how does he look? What do you think?

422
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:23.680
<v Speaker 13>So far, so good? He's got it whatever it is,

423
00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:27.720
<v Speaker 13>and if you can find it on a backfield at practice,

424
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:30.960
<v Speaker 13>I think we've seen it. He's just so comfortable as

425
00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:35.160
<v Speaker 13>in being himself, and he's also comfortable playing quarterback in

426
00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:37.799
<v Speaker 13>a way that Justin Fields never really was. You know,

427
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:40.680
<v Speaker 13>we talked about this last year, maybe the last couple

428
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:43.559
<v Speaker 13>of years, where Justin was this tremendous athlete who just

429
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:45.759
<v Speaker 13>really didn't have a great feel for the position. He

430
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:49.640
<v Speaker 13>might be the best running quarterback in football, but you know,

431
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:51.799
<v Speaker 13>when you needed third and seven and you needed to

432
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:53.839
<v Speaker 13>complete the pass, he just kind of wasn't your guy.

433
00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:57.960
<v Speaker 13>I think Caleb can be. You know, he just looks

434
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:01.880
<v Speaker 13>like he knows how to play the position. And that

435
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:04.680
<v Speaker 13>is a very basic thing. But that is very different.

436
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:06.960
<v Speaker 13>If you have a Chicago Bears uniform.

437
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.079
<v Speaker 2>Well that's the thing, right, I mean, you know you

438
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:12.799
<v Speaker 2>can you can go get these guys and then they

439
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:15.200
<v Speaker 2>show up and they start, you know, working with against

440
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:18.480
<v Speaker 2>NFL athletes and it's a whole different game for them,

441
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:20.160
<v Speaker 2>and you don't know, like I'm going to say it,

442
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:22.200
<v Speaker 2>and I said it, you know, before he came on,

443
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:24.759
<v Speaker 2>I thought Michael Penix was a better college quarterback. I

444
00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:26.920
<v Speaker 2>thought he was a better quarterback last year. I didn't

445
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:29.960
<v Speaker 2>think Caleb Williams was the best quarterback in the Pac twelve.

446
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:32.839
<v Speaker 2>You know, but obviously, you know, again, I'm not an

447
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:36.839
<v Speaker 2>NFL scout. They drafted him because they he's apparently what

448
00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:42.160
<v Speaker 2>they need. What you said, he looks comfortable running the position.

449
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:43.759
<v Speaker 2>What does that mean?

450
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:48.759
<v Speaker 13>That means that he can make his progressions quickly and

451
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:51.200
<v Speaker 13>on time. It means that when he takes off outside

452
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:55.880
<v Speaker 13>the pocket, he looks downfield and looks for receivers instead

453
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:58.079
<v Speaker 13>of looking to run, which is what Justin did you know,

454
00:21:58.359 --> 00:22:01.799
<v Speaker 13>unprompted his offensive coordinator today said, you know, when he's

455
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:04.160
<v Speaker 13>on the run, you know, and he looks and he

456
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:06.960
<v Speaker 13>throws deep. I don't think he's thrown an interception yet.

457
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:10.880
<v Speaker 13>I mean it's practice, but that's still something. And he

458
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:13.160
<v Speaker 13>also carries himself in a way that I think he's

459
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:16.519
<v Speaker 13>a pretty natural leader, which you know, when you're twenty two,

460
00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:18.759
<v Speaker 13>twenty three years old, you know, you don't think of

461
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:21.480
<v Speaker 13>a rookie quarterback as a leader, but boy, he's got

462
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:23.359
<v Speaker 13>to run the show here and he's got to have

463
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:25.400
<v Speaker 13>the respect of those around him.

464
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:26.519
<v Speaker 12>You know, I've told you this day.

465
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:29.160
<v Speaker 13>I think I told you this right after they drafted him. Boy,

466
00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:33.039
<v Speaker 13>he is more comfortable being himself than I think I

467
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:35.519
<v Speaker 13>am being myself. But I'm twice as old as he is.

468
00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:39.119
<v Speaker 13>He is just really, really really comfortable in his own skin.

469
00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:41.559
<v Speaker 13>And I think that that translates, you know, at a

470
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:44.000
<v Speaker 13>player today. Tell me, you know, NFL guys have a

471
00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:47.960
<v Speaker 13>really good BF detector, and he was being anything other

472
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:51.319
<v Speaker 13>than other than himself, they would have let him know

473
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:54.119
<v Speaker 13>by now right, And he's not. And yeah, I think

474
00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:56.680
<v Speaker 13>it's shaping up to be a pretty good fit for him,

475
00:22:56.799 --> 00:22:59.319
<v Speaker 13>and definitely for the Bears, who you know, haven't had

476
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:01.599
<v Speaker 13>a good quarterback in one hundred and four years.

477
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:08.160
<v Speaker 3>Paton. With a rookie quarterback, obviously you need weapons around him, obviously.

478
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:10.759
<v Speaker 3>Keenan Allen in the in the Fold and Roma Dunes,

479
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:14.759
<v Speaker 3>DeAndre Swift. How do you see those skill positions playing out,

480
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:18.519
<v Speaker 3>especially at the running back position with Khalil Herbert, DeAndre

481
00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:19.720
<v Speaker 3>Swift and some others there.

482
00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:22.599
<v Speaker 13>Boy, you know they put him in a really good position.

483
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:26.160
<v Speaker 13>Justin field would probably have killed to have had this

484
00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:28.599
<v Speaker 13>when he was a rookie. But you know you've got

485
00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:31.480
<v Speaker 13>DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Roma Dunde, who was the number

486
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:35.000
<v Speaker 13>nine pick and one of the Bear's three favorite prospects

487
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:38.279
<v Speaker 13>at any position. So you know they're thrilled. They you know,

488
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:40.160
<v Speaker 13>they think they got the number one and the number

489
00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:44.079
<v Speaker 13>three prospects in the whole draft. That's good. But running back,

490
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:47.079
<v Speaker 13>I mean, it's an old trope that Caleb's best friend

491
00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:48.519
<v Speaker 13>is going to be a good run game, and you

492
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:51.279
<v Speaker 13>know they went out in time. DeAndre Swift. I think

493
00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:55.000
<v Speaker 13>if history is any indication with offensive coordinator Shane Waldron,

494
00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:57.720
<v Speaker 13>I think he'll get maybe sixty sixty five percent of

495
00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:00.759
<v Speaker 13>the carries and then you know the other thirty percent

496
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:04.400
<v Speaker 13>or so is going to be something between Roshawn Johnson

497
00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:06.559
<v Speaker 13>and Khalil Herbert. I think Herbert is the home run

498
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:08.960
<v Speaker 13>hitter in the group, and I think Roshan is the

499
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:12.119
<v Speaker 13>pass blocker, and they're down back in the group. So yeah,

500
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:14.799
<v Speaker 13>that's a pretty good, pretty good running back room. And

501
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:16.759
<v Speaker 13>you know, I haven't even brought up Cole Commett, who

502
00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:19.720
<v Speaker 13>I think had the eighth most receiving yards among tight

503
00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:21.839
<v Speaker 13>ends in the NFL last year, which is pretty impressive.

504
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:24.839
<v Speaker 13>He didn't really have much of a quarterback. And Gerald Everett,

505
00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:26.759
<v Speaker 13>you know, the old Ramps tight end, comes in to

506
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:28.839
<v Speaker 13>be the number two. That's a pretty good number two

507
00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:31.359
<v Speaker 13>tight end. So I mean I just listed eight weapons

508
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:34.400
<v Speaker 13>that might be six more weapons than Bears teams we.

509
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:34.759
<v Speaker 12>Used to have.

510
00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:40.279
<v Speaker 2>We're talking to Pat Finley, Bears beat riding for the

511
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:43.079
<v Speaker 2>Chicago Sun Times, four Mayriors on a Daily Star guy.

512
00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:44.920
<v Speaker 2>So that's the connection. Pat. We want to make sure

513
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:46.799
<v Speaker 2>that they know that we we love you and we've

514
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:49.160
<v Speaker 2>loved you for a long time. Hey, so does that

515
00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:52.359
<v Speaker 2>make you got the You've got the Hall of Fame

516
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:55.720
<v Speaker 2>game on Thursday, they're taking on the Texans, Right, yeah?

517
00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Does that mean you know, is that kind of let's

518
00:24:58.160 --> 00:25:00.599
<v Speaker 2>must see TV to see what's going going on over there?

519
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:02.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is kind of perfect, right, this is

520
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:04.960
<v Speaker 2>the guy everybody's talking about. They've got this first game,

521
00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:08.640
<v Speaker 2>all the attentions on them. How you know, how much

522
00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:12.079
<v Speaker 2>do you think we might see and what can we

523
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:14.759
<v Speaker 2>deduce from anything that we see?

524
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:19.240
<v Speaker 13>What do you feel about Tyson Bagen. How's that striking

525
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:21.160
<v Speaker 13>because I think that's what's going to happen here. I

526
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:23.880
<v Speaker 13>think the backup quarterback is going to start the game.

527
00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:25.920
<v Speaker 13>Has the Bears say that, they'll make an announcements more

528
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:28.480
<v Speaker 13>about what their plans are. Okay, I don't think Caleb

529
00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:30.920
<v Speaker 13>is going to play. I'm sure the NFL. I'm sure

530
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:32.759
<v Speaker 13>the NFL would love him to, and I'm sure ESPN

531
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:35.039
<v Speaker 13>is leading on the Bears to do that. But you know,

532
00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:37.680
<v Speaker 13>here's why. It's been nine years since the starting quarterback

533
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:40.680
<v Speaker 13>has played in the Hall of Fame game. I went

534
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:43.519
<v Speaker 13>through the last five years worth the Hall of Fame games,

535
00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:46.680
<v Speaker 13>and then each year a starting quarterback in that game

536
00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:49.200
<v Speaker 13>was cut by his team before the end of the month.

537
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:52.680
<v Speaker 13>So this is not a place where you trot out

538
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:54.720
<v Speaker 13>your best players. You know, keep in mind too, if

539
00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:56.599
<v Speaker 13>you're playing this Hall of Fame game, it means you've

540
00:25:56.599 --> 00:26:00.240
<v Speaker 13>ben given one extra preseason game by the NFL. So

541
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:02.839
<v Speaker 13>you know, the Bears could look at it and say, now,

542
00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:04.720
<v Speaker 13>that's just one more chance for kileb to get hurt.

543
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:07.720
<v Speaker 13>We'll sit him here, you know, give him twenty twenty

544
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:09.920
<v Speaker 13>five snaps in the second game. You know they have

545
00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:12.359
<v Speaker 13>a joint practice against the Bengals the week after that,

546
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:14.240
<v Speaker 13>you know they'll give them a bunch of works there.

547
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:16.240
<v Speaker 13>They said that they want him to get forty five

548
00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:19.359
<v Speaker 13>to sixty five snaps this off season to feel comfortable

549
00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:23.119
<v Speaker 13>in game action. I wouldn't be surprised if they counted

550
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:26.119
<v Speaker 13>a joint practice against the Bengals as some of those snaps. Okay,

551
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:29.559
<v Speaker 13>you know, I may be wrong, but everything that I've

552
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:31.640
<v Speaker 13>seen and everything I've been told this pointing toward the

553
00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:34.000
<v Speaker 13>Bears playing a lot of backup players on thirst.

554
00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:35.759
<v Speaker 2>Well not Bump, because I was going to put some

555
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:39.640
<v Speaker 2>money on it. Right, Come on, man, I.

556
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:43.079
<v Speaker 13>Tend your name of their fifth string running back and

557
00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:44.839
<v Speaker 13>put some money on that anytime.

558
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:47.559
<v Speaker 2>That's just yeah, I know that's sick, but what are

559
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:48.000
<v Speaker 2>you going to do?

560
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:48.839
<v Speaker 3>All right?

561
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:51.960
<v Speaker 2>There are two big quarterback signings or extensions signed over

562
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:57.039
<v Speaker 2>the weekend, Jordan Love and two tongue by Law take

563
00:26:57.079 --> 00:26:59.599
<v Speaker 2>which other. Let's talk about Jordan Love because that's the

564
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:03.119
<v Speaker 2>one that I'm like, what you know, is he the

565
00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Who's what?

566
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Now?

567
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:08.200
<v Speaker 2>That third highest paid quarterback in the NFL. Should he be?

568
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:09.920
<v Speaker 4>No?

569
00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:14.359
<v Speaker 13>But the way this works lately is that whoever signs

570
00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:17.160
<v Speaker 13>the most recent contract is the richest guy. You know,

571
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:19.640
<v Speaker 13>the market is going up by the day here and

572
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:22.440
<v Speaker 13>because of that, you've got guys like Josh Allen, who

573
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:26.440
<v Speaker 13>I think is like number ten now in the list

574
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:28.880
<v Speaker 13>of highest paid quarterback and he's certainly not the tenth

575
00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:31.200
<v Speaker 13>best quarterback in the league. Is probably closer to four.

576
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:35.240
<v Speaker 13>So are they worth it? No, But that's what the

577
00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:38.559
<v Speaker 13>market says, both with Jordan and with Tua. I ask

578
00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:41.440
<v Speaker 13>you this because I don't know the answer to myself.

579
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:43.240
<v Speaker 13>Are they good?

580
00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:43.759
<v Speaker 14>Like?

581
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:47.759
<v Speaker 13>Are they good? Are we sure? You know, Jordan Love

582
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:50.480
<v Speaker 13>had a great second half of last season, and you know,

583
00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:54.640
<v Speaker 13>and you can certainly see it there. Who was Okay?

584
00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:58.279
<v Speaker 13>You know, I don't know that that I would bank

585
00:27:58.319 --> 00:28:00.440
<v Speaker 13>on either of these guys being a top ten quoiquarterback

586
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:03.279
<v Speaker 13>three years from now. I just don't know whether I would.

587
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:04.519
<v Speaker 13>But you know the fact is if you want to

588
00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:06.160
<v Speaker 13>keep them, you got to pay him, and you got

589
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:08.440
<v Speaker 13>to pay him that sort of money, right, Yeah.

590
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:08.640
<v Speaker 2>That's crazy.

591
00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean going back to two. I mean you

592
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:14.119
<v Speaker 3>have those injury concerns too, and not to mention all

593
00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:16.359
<v Speaker 3>the weapons, I mean he has tons of weapons. Those

594
00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:18.279
<v Speaker 3>those guys aren't always going to be there for the

595
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:20.559
<v Speaker 3>for the years to come. So yeah, there's definitely some

596
00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:21.519
<v Speaker 3>question and you can't.

597
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:23.240
<v Speaker 13>Afford him, and I mean, and that's what you know.

598
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:25.759
<v Speaker 13>To me, that's the most important thing here is you know,

599
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:27.359
<v Speaker 13>the Packers have done this with a bunch of no

600
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:30.880
<v Speaker 13>name wide receivers and you know, in that sense, paying

601
00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:33.960
<v Speaker 13>pay Jordan Love fifty million dollars isn't going to change

602
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:36.319
<v Speaker 13>the planning here. But at some point those guys are

603
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:38.440
<v Speaker 13>going to need a new contracts when they get to

604
00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:40.119
<v Speaker 13>the end of their four year deal, and then the

605
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:42.519
<v Speaker 13>Packers may be a little handstrung there. I mean, you know,

606
00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:45.720
<v Speaker 13>in the NFL, this has gotten talked about ever since

607
00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:47.799
<v Speaker 13>Russell Wilson went to the Super Bowl and back to

608
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:50.160
<v Speaker 13>back years for the Seahawks. But you know, really the

609
00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:51.960
<v Speaker 13>cheap code in the NFL is if you can get

610
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:53.920
<v Speaker 13>a good quarterback on a rookie deal and then you

611
00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:56.720
<v Speaker 13>can pay the people around him, you can you know,

612
00:28:56.759 --> 00:28:59.079
<v Speaker 13>you can trade for Keenan Allen and give him twenty

613
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:01.079
<v Speaker 13>and a half million dollars the year because the Chargers

614
00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:03.359
<v Speaker 13>couldn't afford it. You know, you could give Dj Moore

615
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:05.720
<v Speaker 13>an extension, which I think that Bears may do between

616
00:29:05.720 --> 00:29:07.119
<v Speaker 13>now and the start of the season. You can go

617
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:10.400
<v Speaker 13>get you know, DeAndre Swift as a free agent. I mean,

618
00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:13.359
<v Speaker 13>that's a luxury thing that a lot of teams, you know,

619
00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:15.319
<v Speaker 13>don't have the money to do. You know, if you're

620
00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:17.119
<v Speaker 13>convinced that your rookie quarterbacks good, you can gould the

621
00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:18.920
<v Speaker 13>hell of a team around him. But you know, at

622
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:20.720
<v Speaker 13>some point you're gonna have to pay that guy, and

623
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:23.599
<v Speaker 13>when you do, you better carry the team on the Yeah.

624
00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:27.200
<v Speaker 2>All right, So I mean and you're looking at I

625
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:29.279
<v Speaker 2>mean like I see, you know, the other guys that

626
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:31.160
<v Speaker 2>are getting paid, and they should be getting paid. They've

627
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:33.160
<v Speaker 2>proven it, you know, Joe Burrow has been you know,

628
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:36.359
<v Speaker 2>in a Super Bowl justin Herbert. He's looked really good,

629
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:39.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, And I get it. You know, there's only

630
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:43.960
<v Speaker 2>thirty two starting quarterbacks and they're the best, the allegedly

631
00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:48.119
<v Speaker 2>the thirty two best quarterbacks on the planet. But man,

632
00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:50.880
<v Speaker 2>I just you know, you just I feel like, I

633
00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:53.400
<v Speaker 2>don't know what these these owners can't wait for somebody

634
00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:55.960
<v Speaker 2>to prove themselves before they give him that money. I mean,

635
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:58.519
<v Speaker 2>is Jordan Love going to go somewhere else if he gets.

636
00:29:58.920 --> 00:30:01.440
<v Speaker 2>If they're only giving forty nine million, I mean, what's

637
00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:04.680
<v Speaker 2>going to happen? And that's what that's what, that's where

638
00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:07.279
<v Speaker 2>my brain goes, being that I'm not the guy making

639
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:08.480
<v Speaker 2>the fifty million dollars.

640
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:10.839
<v Speaker 13>Well, well, if we can sit here and praise the

641
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:13.279
<v Speaker 13>Packers all day for being patient with Jordan Love and

642
00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:16.960
<v Speaker 13>letting him grow behind Aaron Rodgers and letting him develop

643
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:19.079
<v Speaker 13>before he ever had to play a snap. But one

644
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:21.920
<v Speaker 13>of the reasons nobody does that anymore is because if

645
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:24.599
<v Speaker 13>he's good right away, then you've got to pay him

646
00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:27.039
<v Speaker 13>because it's been five years since you drafted him in

647
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:30.960
<v Speaker 13>this contract, right, So that's I mean, that's another point,

648
00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:32.799
<v Speaker 13>you know, in the favor of you know, if you

649
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:35.039
<v Speaker 13>draft a quarterbacks, you should probably play him right away

650
00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:38.519
<v Speaker 13>because you know, the clock's kicking and he's only getting

651
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:40.400
<v Speaker 13>more expensive as every year goes by.

652
00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Which you're surprising about the Falcons drafting Michael Pennix.

653
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:48.759
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, yeah, and boy, I still don't you know, I've

654
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:50.440
<v Speaker 13>asked a lot of people around the Bears because the

655
00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:52.799
<v Speaker 13>Bears was picking right after that, and that's how they

656
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:54.759
<v Speaker 13>wanne up for the doom thing, Like, hey, what in

657
00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:58.200
<v Speaker 13>the world were they doing, and nobody knows. I mean,

658
00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:00.920
<v Speaker 13>I've yet to hear a good explanation and for why

659
00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:03.359
<v Speaker 13>they did that, especially when you look at Tennis's age.

660
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:05.480
<v Speaker 13>You know, I agree with you. I think Pennis had

661
00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:08.200
<v Speaker 13>a better season last year than Caleb Williams did. But

662
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:11.640
<v Speaker 13>Pennix was also probably, what's four years older than he is.

663
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:15.400
<v Speaker 13>You know, that age really works against you typically in

664
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:18.599
<v Speaker 13>an NFL draft. Of course it didn't in this case.

665
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:23.200
<v Speaker 13>Going number eight overall was a shocker to most in

666
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:25.119
<v Speaker 13>football and definitely everybody outside of them.

667
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:30.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Pat, Going back to the Bears the running back room,

668
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.759
<v Speaker 3>we talked about DeAndre Swift. Now, is Khalil Herbert a

669
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:35.839
<v Speaker 3>guy that could be on the trade block here soon?

670
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:39.160
<v Speaker 13>I don't think so. You know, I wondered that, you know,

671
00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:40.799
<v Speaker 13>during the first couple of days of practice, you know,

672
00:31:40.799 --> 00:31:43.720
<v Speaker 13>you're sitting around talking to people, and I just think

673
00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:47.599
<v Speaker 13>that having three functional running backs is you know, not

674
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:50.279
<v Speaker 13>unusual in this in you know, this NFL is actually

675
00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:52.000
<v Speaker 13>kind of what a lot of teams strive to do.

676
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:55.480
<v Speaker 13>He's entering the final year of his contract, so you know,

677
00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:57.000
<v Speaker 13>you could sit there if somebody wants to throw a

678
00:31:57.079 --> 00:31:59.279
<v Speaker 13>four at the Bears. Maybe they think of it, but

679
00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:00.160
<v Speaker 13>I think about it.

680
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:01.359
<v Speaker 12>But you know, if I.

681
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:02.680
<v Speaker 13>Were them, and you know the Bears are in this

682
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:05.160
<v Speaker 13>position where they're trying to win now for the first

683
00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:09.480
<v Speaker 13>time since twenty nineteen, I would keep Khalil Herbert, let

684
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:12.480
<v Speaker 13>him be your home run hitter, and figure that you know,

685
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:14.640
<v Speaker 13>you're running back is probably you know, this was probably

686
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:16.440
<v Speaker 13>going to get hurt at some point during the season

687
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:18.799
<v Speaker 13>and you'll need some backups there. It's just kind of

688
00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:22.119
<v Speaker 13>the way it's been going in the NFL. I think

689
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:25.559
<v Speaker 13>Herbert is really dangerous. I you know, I think a

690
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:27.720
<v Speaker 13>lot of teams would consider him a good kick returner,

691
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:30.519
<v Speaker 13>but the Bears aren't going to do that. But man,

692
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:33.119
<v Speaker 13>if you want a thirty yard run, you know, there

693
00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:34.440
<v Speaker 13>was a time, what was it two years ago? I

694
00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:36.480
<v Speaker 13>think he led all running backs in the yards per carry.

695
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:39.279
<v Speaker 13>Like that's a pretty impressive stat for somebody.

696
00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:42.480
<v Speaker 2>You're sharing time talking to Pat Finley, the Bears beat

697
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:45.720
<v Speaker 2>writer for the Chicago Sun Times of what's their ceiling

698
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:48.480
<v Speaker 2>and what's their what's their floor? Where you know, where

699
00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:50.640
<v Speaker 2>are they going to fall? Any ideas have you thought

700
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:50.920
<v Speaker 2>about that?

701
00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:52.119
<v Speaker 13>Oh, that's a good question.

702
00:32:53.079 --> 00:32:53.359
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

703
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:56.039
<v Speaker 13>I think there's probably somewhere between seven and ten and

704
00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:59.839
<v Speaker 13>ten and seven. You know, I know people who think

705
00:32:59.880 --> 00:33:01.720
<v Speaker 13>that they can do better than that, but I really

706
00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:03.799
<v Speaker 13>have to see it, you know, Jay is you know,

707
00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:06.599
<v Speaker 13>as you know, Jay, I'm a little I'm a little jaded.

708
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:10.440
<v Speaker 13>After covering this team for the last eleven seasons. I've

709
00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:14.119
<v Speaker 13>yet to see a playoff win. And they've played two

710
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:16.240
<v Speaker 13>playoff games in my time here. The first one ended

711
00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:18.920
<v Speaker 13>on a double doint by the kicker, Cody Parky, and

712
00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:22.160
<v Speaker 13>the other was at the Superdome during COVID when nobody

713
00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:26.039
<v Speaker 13>was allowed there. So not a whole lot of recent

714
00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:28.960
<v Speaker 13>success here. But you know, you know, the upshot is

715
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:31.119
<v Speaker 13>they've got a defense that they think is top five,

716
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:34.400
<v Speaker 13>top ten somewhere in there. They have a quarterback in

717
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:36.200
<v Speaker 13>Killer Williams who I think is going to get better

718
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:38.519
<v Speaker 13>with each week. And the great thing is because they've

719
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:41.240
<v Speaker 13>surrounded him with some pretty good offensive players, he can

720
00:33:41.319 --> 00:33:43.599
<v Speaker 13>kind of play point guard and just get the ball

721
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:45.839
<v Speaker 13>in their hands and hope for good things to happen.

722
00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:49.359
<v Speaker 13>You know, Caleb doesn't have to play a minus game

723
00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:52.240
<v Speaker 13>for the Bears to win. That is really different than

724
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:55.160
<v Speaker 13>everything they had around Justin Fields, where Justin Field had

725
00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:57.279
<v Speaker 13>to be a B plus a minus quarterback for the

726
00:33:57.319 --> 00:33:59.720
<v Speaker 13>Bears to even be in the game. The roster was

727
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:02.640
<v Speaker 13>that surrounding him. Now there's a lot more with a

728
00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:04.960
<v Speaker 13>room for him. I think, you know, I think they're

729
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:07.400
<v Speaker 13>playing a great in the NSC North. I think that's

730
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:10.320
<v Speaker 13>probably the best division in football. And you know, if

731
00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:15.000
<v Speaker 13>you're gonna beat the Lions, Vikings, and Packers regularly, you

732
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:17.039
<v Speaker 13>better put together a pretty complete football game.

733
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:17.280
<v Speaker 3>Right.

734
00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:21.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, suddenly the Lions are really damn good. Right Yeah.

735
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:24.320
<v Speaker 13>I spent my whole life presuming the Lions we're gonna

736
00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:28.000
<v Speaker 13>stick at every turn. Jay, you may, you may relate

737
00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:30.239
<v Speaker 13>this a little bit, you know, growing up a Padre fans,

738
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:32.199
<v Speaker 13>you know, I always thought that the Giants would be

739
00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:35.039
<v Speaker 13>five games better than everybody thought because they were always

740
00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:36.719
<v Speaker 13>so well run. And I always thought the Dodgers would

741
00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:39.719
<v Speaker 13>be five games worse because they, at least until Andrew Freeman,

742
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:42.440
<v Speaker 13>were always a little overrated. I kind of feel that

743
00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:44.960
<v Speaker 13>way about the Packers and the Lions still. You know,

744
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:46.840
<v Speaker 13>with the Lions, I'll believe it when I see it,

745
00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:49.039
<v Speaker 13>And you know, I always think the Packers end up

746
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:51.400
<v Speaker 13>being a little bit better than everybody's sounds great.

747
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:53.639
<v Speaker 2>All right, Pat, We're gonna let you go back to work.

748
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:56.719
<v Speaker 2>We appreciate you taking the time with us, and we'll

749
00:34:56.760 --> 00:34:59.039
<v Speaker 2>get back with you a little later, you know, maybe

750
00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:00.920
<v Speaker 2>once the season gets going. Because I think it's gonna

751
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:02.719
<v Speaker 2>be a fun season. I think it's'n be really interesting.

752
00:35:03.320 --> 00:35:03.480
<v Speaker 12>Uh.

753
00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:05.880
<v Speaker 2>I know the usual suspects are going to be up there,

754
00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:07.480
<v Speaker 2>but I think there's some teams out there that that

755
00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:09.519
<v Speaker 2>are going to surprise a few people.

756
00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:11.159
<v Speaker 12>Hard knocked.

757
00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:14.800
<v Speaker 13>Chicago Bears starts in eight days. If if there needs

758
00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:17.639
<v Speaker 13>to be any more of a hype train going, they're

759
00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:19.960
<v Speaker 13>going to be on HBO for five weeks starting next week.

760
00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:21.920
<v Speaker 12>You got you're.

761
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:23.079
<v Speaker 2>Gonna get any airtime from that?

762
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:24.679
<v Speaker 14>Oh?

763
00:35:24.760 --> 00:35:26.639
<v Speaker 13>I hope not, but probably I'll probably be in the

764
00:35:26.679 --> 00:35:27.599
<v Speaker 13>background at some point.

765
00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:31.679
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Pat, Hey, thanks a bunch. Again. We appreciated have

766
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:33.119
<v Speaker 2>fun this, have fun this fall.

767
00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:35.000
<v Speaker 13>Thank you guys.

768
00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:35.599
<v Speaker 3>Thanks Pat.

769
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:39.159
<v Speaker 2>That was Pat Finley from the Chicago Sun Times. He's

770
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:41.679
<v Speaker 2>a fun dude, and uh, you're good, but a lot

771
00:35:41.719 --> 00:35:43.400
<v Speaker 2>of good insight. I'm sitting here thinking, Okay, I'm gonna

772
00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:45.400
<v Speaker 2>put some money on the Bears to make the playoffs.

773
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:47.000
<v Speaker 2>You know what kind of odds can I get them?

774
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:50.280
<v Speaker 2>You know he I mean, he really late laid it out.

775
00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:53.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I think the interesting thing that he said

776
00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:56.119
<v Speaker 3>was Caleb Williams doesn't have to play a a game,

777
00:35:56.360 --> 00:35:58.960
<v Speaker 3>right And I think the same thing with the Pittsburgh

778
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:03.559
<v Speaker 3>Steelers with Wilson justin fields, you know, with their defense. Yeah,

779
00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:05.719
<v Speaker 3>those guys don't have to be a four hundred yard

780
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:08.320
<v Speaker 3>a game right yard per game passers. They just have

781
00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:10.280
<v Speaker 3>to control the game and not turn the ball over.

782
00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:13.360
<v Speaker 2>That's the thing. It just be smart with the ball

783
00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:15.280
<v Speaker 2>and not do not do dumb things that put you

784
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:17.559
<v Speaker 2>in a bad spot. Okay, we're gonna take our breakword

785
00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:19.119
<v Speaker 2>and come back. We'll take your calls five to two

00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:48.800
<v Speaker 2>just a good friend. Right We've been friends for a

839
00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:54.519
<v Speaker 2>while right here joining me for his debut. Time in

840
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:57.840
<v Speaker 2>the seat over there, and Henry's running the board with us.

841
00:38:58.440 --> 00:39:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Give us a call. Five two zero, four one, six

842
00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:03.039
<v Speaker 2>seventy four forty. We just had Pat Finley on so

843
00:39:03.119 --> 00:39:05.320
<v Speaker 2>in Chicago Sun Times talking about the Bears, but also

844
00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:09.519
<v Speaker 2>things going on around the NFL. We were talking about quarterbacks,

845
00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:11.280
<v Speaker 2>and we kept talking about him during the break. And

846
00:39:11.320 --> 00:39:13.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm still don't see it, Ryan, I still don't see

847
00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:16.960
<v Speaker 2>how you're giving Jordan Love fifty million dollars. How you're

848
00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:19.000
<v Speaker 2>giving to a tongue of I low fifty million dollars

849
00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:21.840
<v Speaker 2>when he might play eight or nine games. I don't

850
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:22.480
<v Speaker 2>see it.

851
00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:25.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And again I think we talked about it during

852
00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:27.760
<v Speaker 3>the break that you have to make that decision if

853
00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:31.599
<v Speaker 3>you're a front office is is this guy better than

854
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:34.000
<v Speaker 3>anybody that's going to be a free agent coming up

855
00:39:34.039 --> 00:39:37.079
<v Speaker 3>in the near future. Is this guy better than anybody

856
00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:38.800
<v Speaker 3>that we see in college football that we have a

857
00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:42.679
<v Speaker 3>chance to get. And if the answer is yes, I

858
00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:43.639
<v Speaker 3>guess you have to pay them.

859
00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:45.880
<v Speaker 2>I guess you do. I mean, I guess again. We

860
00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:49.159
<v Speaker 2>said that there's only so many quarterbacks, you know, NFL

861
00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:53.280
<v Speaker 2>worthy starting quarterbacks on the planet, and if you get one,

862
00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:55.480
<v Speaker 2>you think you have one, then you got to pay

863
00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:57.840
<v Speaker 2>him and that's the market. But I just don't know

864
00:39:57.880 --> 00:40:00.280
<v Speaker 2>that Jordan Love has done enough to get to Aren't

865
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:02.559
<v Speaker 2>that kind of that kind of a contract?

866
00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:03.199
<v Speaker 3>Now?

867
00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:05.239
<v Speaker 2>Does this put pressure on him? And does it make

868
00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:07.440
<v Speaker 2>it harder or does it make it easier because he

869
00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:10.760
<v Speaker 2>just relaxes and plays and says, Okay, I got my deal.

870
00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:13.119
<v Speaker 2>I just got to go out and play. You know,

871
00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:15.400
<v Speaker 2>how do you know? How do different people take that?

872
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:18.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean Joe Burrow, who's currently the highest paid quarterback

873
00:40:18.880 --> 00:40:22.639
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL. He's earned it, right. He looks like

874
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:24.599
<v Speaker 2>a long term quarterback. Yes he had he had the

875
00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:26.840
<v Speaker 2>knee injury, but he's gotten his team to do the

876
00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl. He's done things, and he looks like he

877
00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:31.920
<v Speaker 2>can do these things for a long time. He's a

878
00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:34.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how good he'll be, but he's a

879
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:38.599
<v Speaker 2>Peyton Manning, Tom Brady longevity kind of guy is what

880
00:40:38.760 --> 00:40:41.639
<v Speaker 2>you see in him. I see Jordan Love and to

881
00:40:42.639 --> 00:40:44.519
<v Speaker 2>both guys that they could be out of the league

882
00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:47.960
<v Speaker 2>in three years. Oh yeah, because they're just not good

883
00:40:48.039 --> 00:40:49.559
<v Speaker 2>enough where they get passed by somebody else.

884
00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:52.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no question. I mean it could go either way

885
00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:55.519
<v Speaker 3>with either guy, right, I mean, you saw some really

886
00:40:55.599 --> 00:40:57.519
<v Speaker 3>good things out of Jordan Love right at the last

887
00:40:57.559 --> 00:41:00.559
<v Speaker 3>half of the season. H Tua obvious he saw some

888
00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:03.000
<v Speaker 3>really good things. But he has so many weapons around him,

889
00:41:03.320 --> 00:41:05.719
<v Speaker 3>and I think, as Pat Finley said just a little

890
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:07.719
<v Speaker 3>while ago, you're not gonna be able to hold onto

891
00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:09.480
<v Speaker 3>all those receivers because you're gonna eventually gonna have to

892
00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:11.760
<v Speaker 3>pay them too. So they're just not gonna be able

893
00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:14.639
<v Speaker 3>to afford all those guys. So it'll be very interesting

894
00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:17.280
<v Speaker 3>to see those those guys here in the next few years.

895
00:41:20.599 --> 00:41:21.719
<v Speaker 2>How big of an NFL fan?

896
00:41:21.800 --> 00:41:21.880
<v Speaker 6>Right?

897
00:41:21.880 --> 00:41:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Are you a huge NFL fan?

898
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:23.000
<v Speaker 12>Yes?

899
00:41:23.039 --> 00:41:25.199
<v Speaker 2>Okay, pretty big. What are you looking forward to this

900
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:28.039
<v Speaker 2>NFL season? What you know? What do you want to see?

901
00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:32.199
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm one of the few Jacksonville Jaguars fans out there.

902
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:34.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if there's anybody else's son that the

903
00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:35.679
<v Speaker 3>Jacksonville Jaguars fan.

904
00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:36.599
<v Speaker 2>Tell me why?

905
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:41.039
<v Speaker 3>I was born in Jacksonville, so that's part of it. Yeah,

906
00:41:41.159 --> 00:41:44.199
<v Speaker 3>ever since they announced the team, ever since they had

907
00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:46.079
<v Speaker 3>the team, I was a Jaguars fan.

908
00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:47.519
<v Speaker 2>Do you like have gear and stuff?

909
00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:49.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I do.

910
00:41:49.960 --> 00:41:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Been to some games I have, Okay, I have all Right, Well,

911
00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:55.159
<v Speaker 2>what do you think of them? You know?

912
00:41:55.519 --> 00:41:57.400
<v Speaker 3>And Trevor Lawrence is another one, right, I mean, he

913
00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:01.599
<v Speaker 3>just got a huge contract, and I would say he's

914
00:42:01.639 --> 00:42:04.360
<v Speaker 3>probably better than the love to a tongue of Iiloa.

915
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:06.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean, because he has done some things. He got

916
00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:11.960
<v Speaker 3>them to the to the AFC Championship. Is he a

917
00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:14.360
<v Speaker 3>top five, top ten quarterback? I don't know that you

918
00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:17.119
<v Speaker 3>could say that right now, but he does show some things.

919
00:42:17.199 --> 00:42:20.079
<v Speaker 3>They put some weapons around him, so you know, I'm

920
00:42:20.119 --> 00:42:22.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm really looking forward to the Jaguars. I think they're

921
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:25.519
<v Speaker 3>gonna have a better year. They really got unlucky by

922
00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:28.960
<v Speaker 3>the injury bug last year. They played the Bengals on

923
00:42:29.039 --> 00:42:31.400
<v Speaker 3>a on a Thursday night and they lost three or

924
00:42:31.400 --> 00:42:33.880
<v Speaker 3>four starters in that game, really key players, and they

925
00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:35.719
<v Speaker 3>just they were never the same the rest of the year.

926
00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:38.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that I've ever known a Jags fan.

927
00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:42.639
<v Speaker 2>It's it's entire I don't think I have Henry shaking

928
00:42:42.679 --> 00:42:43.559
<v Speaker 2>his head like, no way.

929
00:42:46.039 --> 00:42:48.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't know that I've ever met one here in Tucson.

930
00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:51.800
<v Speaker 2>They're few and far between, all right, So aside from

931
00:42:51.800 --> 00:42:54.519
<v Speaker 2>the Jaguars, I mean, you know, are we gonna are

932
00:42:54.559 --> 00:42:57.159
<v Speaker 2>we just gonna watch the Chiefs and the forty nine ers,

933
00:42:57.239 --> 00:42:59.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, run the table, not run the table undefeated.

934
00:42:59.880 --> 00:43:01.960
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, you know, is that who we're looking

935
00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:04.559
<v Speaker 2>at again? You know what's gonna happen with brock Purty? Right,

936
00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:07.760
<v Speaker 2>there's another guy, really good quarterback. He's got him to

937
00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:11.400
<v Speaker 2>a Super Bowl, got him doing you know, he's done

938
00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:14.239
<v Speaker 2>really well. Is he a fifty million dollar quarterback?

939
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:18.599
<v Speaker 3>That's a good to me? And almost nobody's a fifty

940
00:43:18.599 --> 00:43:21.599
<v Speaker 3>million dollars Well okay, but you know Patrick Mahomes, sure,

941
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:26.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, Joe Burrow, sure yeah, Josh Allen, I guess yes,

942
00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:32.159
<v Speaker 3>justin Herbert. But you know, the Niners did a really

943
00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:34.360
<v Speaker 3>good job in the draft of putting some more pieces

944
00:43:34.400 --> 00:43:37.719
<v Speaker 3>around brock party. I mean, they got a couple receivers

945
00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:40.400
<v Speaker 3>that look to be guys that are going to contribute

946
00:43:40.480 --> 00:43:40.840
<v Speaker 3>right away.

947
00:43:40.920 --> 00:43:42.920
<v Speaker 2>And when you've got a Christian McCaffrey in your back

948
00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:44.880
<v Speaker 2>in your backfield, I mean we don't go to call.

949
00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:46.559
<v Speaker 2>It's hard. All right, let's take this call.

950
00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:47.920
<v Speaker 9>Hi.

951
00:43:48.000 --> 00:43:49.119
<v Speaker 2>You're on the air and I on the ball.

952
00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:51.719
<v Speaker 12>Hey Jay, how you doing?

953
00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:53.159
<v Speaker 2>What's up? Powered what's going on?

954
00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:57.159
<v Speaker 12>I had to call you? Uh, do you need to

955
00:43:57.280 --> 00:43:58.199
<v Speaker 12>have a cap?

956
00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:01.880
<v Speaker 14>I heard somebody mention a cap for the NFL quarterbacks

957
00:44:02.760 --> 00:44:04.920
<v Speaker 14>And what do you think about that?

958
00:44:06.119 --> 00:44:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Who's gonna put up with that?

959
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:07.639
<v Speaker 3>Right?

960
00:44:08.239 --> 00:44:12.880
<v Speaker 14>Well, they could do it put performance bonus. I know

961
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:16.159
<v Speaker 14>the players Association want, but they got to they have

962
00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:19.360
<v Speaker 14>to get their full money, whatever the contract is. They

963
00:44:19.400 --> 00:44:21.000
<v Speaker 14>got to do the whole season.

964
00:44:21.639 --> 00:44:25.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, boy, I don't know that anybody. I mean, you've

965
00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:28.599
<v Speaker 2>got a salary cap for salaries as a whole, and

966
00:44:28.719 --> 00:44:30.599
<v Speaker 2>even that was hard to get, you know, way back

967
00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:32.880
<v Speaker 2>way back when. So I don't know that you're ever

968
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:36.000
<v Speaker 2>going to cap you know, individual salaries for by positions

969
00:44:36.079 --> 00:44:39.079
<v Speaker 2>or anything like that. That's something that the teams themselves

970
00:44:39.159 --> 00:44:41.320
<v Speaker 2>have to do, but they're not going to. You know,

971
00:44:41.480 --> 00:44:44.760
<v Speaker 2>we've seen that. We've seen at all levels, at the

972
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:48.880
<v Speaker 2>college level, nobody's capping coaches salaries, nobody's capping you know,

973
00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:52.159
<v Speaker 2>player salaries in the NFL. And if the market is

974
00:44:52.199 --> 00:44:54.760
<v Speaker 2>fifty million dollars and if a guy can get it,

975
00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:56.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, more power to them. I guess I'm not

976
00:44:56.960 --> 00:44:59.639
<v Speaker 2>criticizing those two guys forgetting that money. I'm just saying,

977
00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:02.199
<v Speaker 2>what are you guys doing? You know what you know,

978
00:45:02.239 --> 00:45:04.679
<v Speaker 2>if you're an NFL owner and you give fifty million

979
00:45:04.679 --> 00:45:07.119
<v Speaker 2>dollars shit, that means you're not right. As Ryan said,

980
00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:09.239
<v Speaker 2>you're not getting the receivers or the running backs sort

981
00:45:09.239 --> 00:45:11.519
<v Speaker 2>of the right. They can't have to do it.

982
00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:16.519
<v Speaker 14>They're not getting evernybody. There's no multi twenty million receivers.

983
00:45:16.719 --> 00:45:19.079
<v Speaker 14>But the real reason I called was last night, I

984
00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:21.360
<v Speaker 14>bring my kid to the graveyard ship at ten thirty.

985
00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:25.159
<v Speaker 14>And you know Arnie Spaniard, he just goes hyperbole and

986
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:27.760
<v Speaker 14>hot takes about the U his Wildcats.

987
00:45:29.320 --> 00:45:32.559
<v Speaker 2>I haven't heard that, you hear, no, no, what he's saying.

988
00:45:32.679 --> 00:45:37.039
<v Speaker 12>Oh my gosh, he went off last night thing. Oh boy,

989
00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:40.119
<v Speaker 12>there they're.

990
00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:42.280
<v Speaker 14>They're going to a lesser conference because no UFC UCLA.

991
00:45:42.679 --> 00:45:46.840
<v Speaker 14>They're gonna run rough shot over the big twelve and

992
00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:51.119
<v Speaker 14>and and and the U of A Wildcats quarterbacks the

993
00:45:51.199 --> 00:45:52.440
<v Speaker 14>third best in the country.

994
00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:54.480
<v Speaker 13>It was crazy, he.

995
00:45:54.639 --> 00:46:00.360
<v Speaker 12>Was so he made you look like a non fan. Wow, funny,

996
00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:00.920
<v Speaker 12>I just saw that you.

997
00:46:01.039 --> 00:46:01.800
<v Speaker 14>I was like, oh my.

998
00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:06.199
<v Speaker 2>Gosh, that's pretty funny. Well arguably, okay, the best team

999
00:46:06.280 --> 00:46:09.800
<v Speaker 2>in the Pac twelve was Oregon and not USC or

1000
00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:13.480
<v Speaker 2>or Utah, so at least the best program as of now.

1001
00:46:13.599 --> 00:46:16.119
<v Speaker 2>So I think it was kind of a fair deal,

1002
00:46:16.239 --> 00:46:19.239
<v Speaker 2>you know, the the Yeah, Washington's really good, but how

1003
00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:21.239
<v Speaker 2>good are they going to be this year? I think,

1004
00:46:21.599 --> 00:46:24.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, if you talk about the the the ten

1005
00:46:24.400 --> 00:46:30.119
<v Speaker 2>teams that left, I think in order you go probably Oregon, Utah,

1006
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:34.840
<v Speaker 2>maybe Washington, maybe USC and then Arizona. So that's the

1007
00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:38.199
<v Speaker 2>way I see it, So I Utah and you will

1008
00:46:38.280 --> 00:46:38.920
<v Speaker 2>be very good.

1009
00:46:40.280 --> 00:46:42.400
<v Speaker 14>But they they forgot the elephant and they should have

1010
00:46:42.519 --> 00:46:46.840
<v Speaker 14>introduced the ambiguity. But on the flip side, the basketball

1011
00:46:47.400 --> 00:46:48.239
<v Speaker 14>program is one of.

1012
00:46:48.280 --> 00:46:51.239
<v Speaker 2>The best the leagues, and that's gonna be the U of.

1013
00:46:51.280 --> 00:46:53.480
<v Speaker 12>A is not gonna be in the top bunch.

1014
00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Right, that's gonna be fun though, that's gonna.

1015
00:46:55.920 --> 00:46:58.920
<v Speaker 12>It's gonna be great. And she would say, too, all right,

1016
00:46:59.039 --> 00:46:59.920
<v Speaker 12>you can have a good one.

1017
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:03.039
<v Speaker 2>Thanks a bunch for cal appreciate it. Yeah, I mean

1018
00:47:03.199 --> 00:47:04.920
<v Speaker 2>that's how I see it, right, I think you know

1019
00:47:04.960 --> 00:47:07.440
<v Speaker 2>the way that the way the team's divvied up, I

1020
00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:11.039
<v Speaker 2>think both the Big Ten and the Big Twelve got

1021
00:47:12.239 --> 00:47:15.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of equal, you know, equal teams. And then when

1022
00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:18.719
<v Speaker 2>you talk about let's go to basketball, clearly you know

1023
00:47:18.880 --> 00:47:21.320
<v Speaker 2>the the Big Twelve they've got they got Arizona, I

1024
00:47:21.440 --> 00:47:22.519
<v Speaker 2>know the Big Ten got U c.

1025
00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:22.880
<v Speaker 14>L A.

1026
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:28.000
<v Speaker 2>You know Oregon. They're good sometimes good, not good other times.

1027
00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:31.159
<v Speaker 2>So I think both both conferences are happy with who

1028
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:33.960
<v Speaker 2>they got in the in their in those leagues.

1029
00:47:34.639 --> 00:47:40.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Absolutely, I I'm really interested to see Utah football. Right.

1030
00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:45.119
<v Speaker 3>Obviously pick to win the league by the media, Well,

1031
00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:47.360
<v Speaker 3>that's all as has to be. He has to be

1032
00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:50.719
<v Speaker 3>back himself, right. If he's not, then I don't see it.

1033
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, the's two things. One one he's got to be

1034
00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:55.280
<v Speaker 2>healthy for the whole year, and then two he's got

1035
00:47:55.360 --> 00:47:57.360
<v Speaker 2>to be good. He hasn't played a lot in the

1036
00:47:57.480 --> 00:48:01.719
<v Speaker 2>last two years, so you know, Yeah, I mean they're

1037
00:48:01.800 --> 00:48:04.039
<v Speaker 2>they're they're they're kind of a mystery team. You expect

1038
00:48:04.039 --> 00:48:06.639
<v Speaker 2>them to be really good. But it all presumes that

1039
00:48:06.719 --> 00:48:10.400
<v Speaker 2>cam Rising is good and is there the whole year.

1040
00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:12.519
<v Speaker 3>And they lost a lot of players. They lost a

1041
00:48:12.599 --> 00:48:14.199
<v Speaker 3>lot of players to the portal, they lost a lot

1042
00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:17.079
<v Speaker 3>of players to the draft, so they really had had

1043
00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:20.159
<v Speaker 3>to reload. So it's gonna be a really interesting team

1044
00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:20.519
<v Speaker 3>to watch.

1045
00:48:20.679 --> 00:48:23.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, so much of what people think of Utah's about

1046
00:48:23.199 --> 00:48:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Whittingham, and you know, this is twenty years now

1047
00:48:26.480 --> 00:48:28.840
<v Speaker 2>that he's been there, or this is his twentieth year

1048
00:48:28.920 --> 00:48:31.639
<v Speaker 2>something like that. I mean, that's kind of unheard of

1049
00:48:31.719 --> 00:48:36.639
<v Speaker 2>and in college football. So you know, that stability I

1050
00:48:36.679 --> 00:48:38.679
<v Speaker 2>think counts for a lot, at least among people who

1051
00:48:38.719 --> 00:48:41.880
<v Speaker 2>think about the programs. But again, we you know, we

1052
00:48:41.960 --> 00:48:44.000
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I mean, they came to Tucson and Arizon

1053
00:48:44.119 --> 00:48:45.320
<v Speaker 2>just kicked the crap out of them. And I get,

1054
00:48:45.440 --> 00:48:47.679
<v Speaker 2>I know they didn't have Cam Rising and guys were

1055
00:48:47.719 --> 00:48:50.280
<v Speaker 2>missing and stuff, but Arizona didn't just barely beat.

1056
00:48:50.199 --> 00:48:53.079
<v Speaker 3>Them, no hell, And it was from the very very

1057
00:48:53.159 --> 00:48:54.199
<v Speaker 3>beginning of that game.

1058
00:48:54.079 --> 00:48:55.920
<v Speaker 2>They beat the hell out of them. Now, that's gonna

1059
00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:59.800
<v Speaker 2>be a fun game when they meet. It's Arizona's fourth

1060
00:49:00.039 --> 00:49:02.199
<v Speaker 2>gime of the season and it's at Utah. They're going

1061
00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:05.599
<v Speaker 2>to want some for sure. Uh, And that that's gonna

1062
00:49:05.599 --> 00:49:07.079
<v Speaker 2>be fun. And that's gonna tell us a lot about

1063
00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:10.760
<v Speaker 2>the two teams. But you know, if if I'm taking quarterbacks,

1064
00:49:11.280 --> 00:49:14.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm taking no. A Fefeedo over Cam Rising for no

1065
00:49:14.440 --> 00:49:15.880
<v Speaker 2>other reason than the injury issue.

1066
00:49:16.679 --> 00:49:19.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and we've seen guys come back from injuries and

1067
00:49:19.639 --> 00:49:22.480
<v Speaker 3>be successful, but we've also seen guys that just aren't

1068
00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:25.039
<v Speaker 3>quite the same after taking a year off or a

1069
00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:28.639
<v Speaker 3>year plus off. And remember he didn't play.

1070
00:49:28.519 --> 00:49:30.599
<v Speaker 2>At all last year night at all, never got on

1071
00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:31.039
<v Speaker 2>the field.

1072
00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:33.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and it never got tough thing to come back from.

1073
00:49:33.400 --> 00:49:36.400
<v Speaker 2>It really is. So but you know that's gonna be

1074
00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:39.719
<v Speaker 2>I I'm ready. I'm ready for the football season to

1075
00:49:39.719 --> 00:49:43.159
<v Speaker 2>get going, you know. I mean, we'll go to practice.

1076
00:49:43.199 --> 00:49:45.559
<v Speaker 2>Practices are in the morning for those of you who

1077
00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:47.880
<v Speaker 2>do want to go to Arizona for practices until they

1078
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:51.119
<v Speaker 2>start school. They're practicing at nine o'clock in the morning,

1079
00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:52.840
<v Speaker 2>trying to avoid the heat as much as they can.

1080
00:49:53.079 --> 00:49:55.440
<v Speaker 2>It'd be interesting to see how Brent Brandon runs these practices,

1081
00:49:55.480 --> 00:50:01.159
<v Speaker 2>because under under Jed Fish, they would practice some in

1082
00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:04.880
<v Speaker 2>the indoor facility, then they practice some outdoors on the grass.

1083
00:50:04.920 --> 00:50:07.039
<v Speaker 2>They would do a little bit of both. I don't

1084
00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:10.000
<v Speaker 2>know how they'll do it. It would be interesting to

1085
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:13.079
<v Speaker 2>see how the practice is run. Jed Fish was running

1086
00:50:13.159 --> 00:50:15.519
<v Speaker 2>the offense, so he's out on the field and he's

1087
00:50:15.559 --> 00:50:18.599
<v Speaker 2>making changes and talking to quarterbacks and stuff. Brent Brannan

1088
00:50:18.719 --> 00:50:21.199
<v Speaker 2>is more of the He's got a defensive coordinator and

1089
00:50:21.320 --> 00:50:24.599
<v Speaker 2>in Dwayne A. Keeney's got an offensive coordinator in a

1090
00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Dino Babers, they're going to coach and so it'll be

1091
00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:31.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, I remember watching Dick Tomy coach and I

1092
00:50:31.599 --> 00:50:33.360
<v Speaker 2>don't know if you were around at that time, Ryan,

1093
00:50:33.440 --> 00:50:38.000
<v Speaker 2>but during a football practice, Dick just walked around right now,

1094
00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:40.199
<v Speaker 2>certain things happen and he'd get into the middle of

1095
00:50:40.239 --> 00:50:41.920
<v Speaker 2>it and so but he was letting his coach's coach.

1096
00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:46.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I think going back to your point, you know,

1097
00:50:46.920 --> 00:50:49.039
<v Speaker 3>we kind of know what Dwayne A. Keene is about

1098
00:50:49.119 --> 00:50:52.039
<v Speaker 3>on defense, but Dino Babers, you know, he hasn't called

1099
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:54.760
<v Speaker 3>a play and yeah, by some time as an offensive coordinator,

1100
00:50:54.880 --> 00:50:56.159
<v Speaker 3>So what is that going to look like?

1101
00:50:56.480 --> 00:50:56.599
<v Speaker 2>Right?

1102
00:50:56.920 --> 00:50:58.599
<v Speaker 3>And I have a feeling we're going to see a

1103
00:50:58.639 --> 00:51:00.760
<v Speaker 3>lot of some of the same stuff that they ran

1104
00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:03.159
<v Speaker 3>last year. That know, if a FIDA was successful at right,

1105
00:51:03.840 --> 00:51:05.480
<v Speaker 3>there's just no reason to change that, right.

1106
00:51:05.480 --> 00:51:07.159
<v Speaker 2>There isn't and that and that's what you look for

1107
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:09.000
<v Speaker 2>in a coach, and that's what you hope Brent Brandon

1108
00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:13.079
<v Speaker 2>will will ask for You know, again, we've seen what

1109
00:51:13.320 --> 00:51:17.000
<v Speaker 2>happens when you try and force your style as a

1110
00:51:17.079 --> 00:51:19.760
<v Speaker 2>coach onto a player and that's not what the player does.

1111
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:20.599
<v Speaker 2>Kalil take.

1112
00:51:20.800 --> 00:51:22.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was just gonna say we've seen that here

1113
00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:24.079
<v Speaker 3>and it didn't work.

1114
00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:28.079
<v Speaker 2>And Reckwood could have been maybe the best quarterback in

1115
00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:31.599
<v Speaker 2>Arizona history. Turned out he wasn't for a lot of reasons,

1116
00:51:31.679 --> 00:51:34.960
<v Speaker 2>not just about the coaching, about Colilt as well. Right,

1117
00:51:35.320 --> 00:51:39.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, he wasn't He wasn't perfect either, But you know,

1118
00:51:40.119 --> 00:51:42.559
<v Speaker 2>it sounds to me from what the conversations we've had

1119
00:51:42.599 --> 00:51:44.840
<v Speaker 2>with Brent Brannan, and you know, whether it's been in

1120
00:51:44.920 --> 00:51:47.400
<v Speaker 2>press conferences or you watched the interviews we had him

1121
00:51:47.440 --> 00:51:50.639
<v Speaker 2>on the show, it sounds like he's gonna they're building

1122
00:51:50.719 --> 00:51:54.440
<v Speaker 2>their their system around what the guys can do, as

1123
00:51:54.480 --> 00:51:57.440
<v Speaker 2>opposed to having a system and making the players fit

1124
00:51:57.519 --> 00:51:57.840
<v Speaker 2>into that.

1125
00:51:58.360 --> 00:52:00.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and you're always gonna have new wrinkles, right, I mean,

1126
00:52:00.519 --> 00:52:02.639
<v Speaker 3>Dino Baber's is going to run some stuff that the

1127
00:52:02.760 --> 00:52:06.519
<v Speaker 3>Arizona has has not run, Brandon hasn't run before exactly.

1128
00:52:06.840 --> 00:52:10.079
<v Speaker 3>So we're gonna see a little different style than we

1129
00:52:10.159 --> 00:52:12.000
<v Speaker 3>did last year. But I do think We're going to

1130
00:52:12.039 --> 00:52:13.920
<v Speaker 3>see a lot of the same same kind of thing.

1131
00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:15.639
<v Speaker 3>And I think the run game is going to be

1132
00:52:15.679 --> 00:52:18.199
<v Speaker 3>really really important this year. I mean they have to

1133
00:52:18.280 --> 00:52:20.199
<v Speaker 3>keep no I A feeda healthy. I mean, there's no

1134
00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:23.159
<v Speaker 3>question they he has to be healthy, right, he has

1135
00:52:23.199 --> 00:52:23.719
<v Speaker 3>to be healthy.

1136
00:52:24.039 --> 00:52:26.920
<v Speaker 2>And he as we've talked about with other quarterbacks, he

1137
00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:29.519
<v Speaker 2>can't do this all by himself. And he's got weapons.

1138
00:52:29.840 --> 00:52:33.800
<v Speaker 2>I saw stat today that Jacorey Mayor, the running back

1139
00:52:33.840 --> 00:52:37.719
<v Speaker 2>from New Mexico, he's the He's the transfer that scored

1140
00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:39.440
<v Speaker 2>the most touchdowns of all of them.

1141
00:52:39.519 --> 00:52:42.840
<v Speaker 3>I actually did stats for Fox Sports one New Mexico

1142
00:52:43.079 --> 00:52:46.800
<v Speaker 3>versus Fresno State last year at the end of the season,

1143
00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:50.159
<v Speaker 3>and so I did a lot of Jacory Krossky merrit

1144
00:52:50.360 --> 00:52:53.760
<v Speaker 3>research and man, he is he is really good.

1145
00:52:53.880 --> 00:52:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, all right, we're gonna take our break word

1146
00:52:56.360 --> 00:52:58.679
<v Speaker 2>to come back. Henry's got breaking news and there's lots

1147
00:52:58.719 --> 00:53:01.960
<v Speaker 2>of it. Then we've got Greg Insen at about four twenty.

1148
00:53:02.039 --> 00:53:03.719
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk some more. You have a football, so stick

1149
00:53:03.719 --> 00:53:04.280
<v Speaker 2>around for all that.
