Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is the best of two pros and a couple
Joe with Lamar arings and rating Win and Jonas Knox
on radio.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
So, well, how's everybody feeling here on a Monday morning?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Who yes, I'm rested. I can imagine, you know, it's
a little a little wild out there, you know what.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Let's say what that was one of the coolest experiences,
just kind of taking it all in on the way
back and looking back through photos, thinking back through different moments.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
I mean, so much fun and fortunately.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Like if you don't like sports, I feel bad for
you, you know, I just I really do, because you miss
out on great opportunities just to experience like cool life
stuff like that.
Speaker 6 (00:50):
That was awesome just seeing the way Dublin operates in
Ireland and just you know, the how kind everybody was
and welcoming and warm they were, and it just like
I was telling LeVar before the show.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
It's what they do is they drink.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
It's just kind of all damn, it's just like work
a bed.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
The only thing that's a little bit surprising is in
some of the locations the last call is like eleven thirty,
like they're closed by midnight, and there's other places that
are open a little later, but they don't. I mean, look,
I live in South Florida near Miami. There's twenty four
seven clubs. Like if you really want to get it
in all day long, like you can, there isn't as
(01:36):
much of that, like they know where to draw the line,
but put it that way.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I wish I could have partaken.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Well by the way you were, you were, miss LeVar.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
I saw the.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Guy Gillis, Yeah, yeah, he's from pa after I after further.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
You know, big big LeVar, Aarnton fan.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
I mean he's a bigger than a name fan, but
he's a big fan of one LeVar.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Pretty freaking cool man. Yeah, missed everybody.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
Gentlemen showed up at the at buskers I believe on Friday,
I think it was Friday, showed up with a LeVar
Arrington Washington, Jersey.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Wow, yeah, pretty dope.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Was the mascot was what kind of.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I don't know if I could say that, although who
wasn't that just dropped it?
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Uh well one of the guys over there dropped yes,
the work Yeah we were what are the local.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Labs dropped it and I was like, oh that's hashtags.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Like oh yeah, sorry, about that. No, listen, man, a
lot of people to like that.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
No, that was back when we were at the Horizons
Horizon Therapeutic sh They were kind as well to me
and all them h they were.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
They were tremendous the entire time there.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
So it was cool just to see our football and
their culture embrace our football. Now as far as the
game goes, you know, I mean somebody tried to tell
everybody Notre Dame in the under. I mean that was
that was, you know, giving out some friendly betting advice.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
There, you're lucky, You're lucky. They called off the dogs.
It could have been Yeah, maybe I really thought they
were going to kind of keep the pedal down.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
But but it is interesting to see how much football
has grown overseas and see how I mean the.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
People go overseas. Oh yeah, listen, notice was.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
It overseas participation or was it everybody went overseas?
Speaker 5 (03:35):
There was I thought there was both, Yeah, there was both.
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I mean like the cool part was just to like
dig into some like stories from it. One of the
the taxi drivers was like, no, that you don't understand.
He's like, we don't get these fryovers very often.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
He's like when they go through. I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, No,
it's like we have that like all the time.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
It's America, Like we're always showing off our jets, are
helicopters or something they were.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
They were stoked about that, and so.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
That flyover was bad.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Ash.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
So the national anthem starts and you have to understand
it's really cloudy, like at that point there was a
pretty heavy miss and it's really cloudy.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Well, you start to hear the helicopters that are.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Coming, but you can't see them, and then they appear
out of nowhere, and I've never seen a fly over
this close. You could seem like literally I looked into
the guy's eyes like I was like, oh, he's got
b own.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Eyes, see it. It's that close.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
And at that point the entire place went nuts, and
it unfortunately wasn't tied up well with the national anthem,
so it drowned it out the last half, but we
did get the Irish or the Ireland national anthem, and
that was.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Just beautiful like that.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
The performer was incredible that moment, it was the whole
thing was just it was just very very well done.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Nice.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
It's the first time there were some throwback moments there.
It's the first time and I don't even know the
last time I can think of where there was no wanding.
When you walk through the door of the stadium. You
just kind of walked in and it was like, yeah,
you're good to go.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I want to beer. Uh sure. There was no security, like.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
There was no real like nobody was worried about all right,
you know, what weapon are you carrying in?
Speaker 5 (05:27):
What do you like?
Speaker 6 (05:28):
There was no issue whatsoever. You walked in, you got there.
The setup was awesome. I mean Notre Dame fans Lee
and I were walking around after the game, crazy raging.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Like it sort of went to Notre Dame.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Huh, oh my god. They were everywhere.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
I'll put it this way, dude, and I can I
can reput we retweat this or you know, repost it
on x or Twitter or whatever we're calling it.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
I've never seen anything like that.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Like I sat there down on the field with Ryan
Grant and Anthony Vassano and Pat Connotson, which you know,
we kind of looked around and just said, man, no
one else can do it like this, like where they
literally take over an entire city like this and It's
like if there was forty thousand I said that came over.
That wasn't they underestimated that that amount of people. Because
(06:19):
when you saw Notre Dame av is what they called it,
and you looked up and down how packed it was
and how many people were there, it was It's unlike
anything that I've ever seen for a college football game
that's not in the United States.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
It was crazy.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Navy had no shot, There was no chance whatsoever for Navy,
and their support group.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Was not very big.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
No, you, it was non existent, but it was.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
But it was so respectful, and I think the Navy
fans that came over were they kind of understood, all right,
this this isn't going to go well for us. But
it was such a magical feeling in the stadium and
just in the city the entire time there. Then I
think everybody acknowledged, Yeah, the game was almost secondary to
the pageantry, the presentation, the build up, the post game.
(07:10):
I mean, but unbelievable. They can throw them back, man,
all guys, all respect to Notre Dame fans. They can
drink their asses off.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
That was the people that were there. It was nuts.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Like I saw everything from politicians up through there. Kevin
Plank kind of talked for a while like there was all.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
These today are still an under armoured team.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Huh they know they just reupped. They just reap to
the biggest deal and uh who back with Adidas? No, right, Okay, yeah,
they just did that deal. So it's a ten year deal,
but it's a huge deal. And they just had like
such a such a crazy group of different people who
(07:52):
are in town for.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
I mean Will Ferrell was in town for with DP
and his crew.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
It was just I saw Martin was it Martin Short
was there?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Yeah, she got Zefie with Martin Short.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
Jade, who's who's one of the unsung heroes here at
f s R. She does just incredible work and helps
like in any of these events, like they're they're not
possible without Jade and just all her help with everything
she had.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I mean, can I can I air some grievances I've
got that with some things over there with Jade or
just no, no, no, no, Like what's up with the
no A C.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
We were talking about this like there's no circulation. It's
some of those buildings. It's like, come on, we're got
to figure this out, no ice?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
What do you ice for in the hotel rooms?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
What did you need ice for? Todd? What you need
ice for?
Speaker 5 (08:44):
What I needed? They had ice? It was down on
the reception floor. It's like got four three.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
I did go and guy did go get ice there,
but they didn't have like an ice bucket.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Was that before? That's when I saw him coming from
your room.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Whatever he was, Oh my god, can you tell that?
Speaker 5 (09:04):
So this is the other thing.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
My key cards like kept not working, so when you
went there, you had to get a key to your room,
but then in order to get into the fitness place,
you had to go down and have them put a
different access code on that key. Then they had like
a separate room that was really nice with like asana
and steam shower.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Which were very needed, as you can imagine, LeVar.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah, it's super nice though, but then you had to
get a separate key for that to get access to
it and to your room. And then for some reason,
the key cards like would stop working after a day
or so to your room, so you'd have to go
back down get another one.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Well, we happen to be out pretty late.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
This is like three four am in the morning, and
I literally go up to my room and it doesn't work.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
I'm like, oh, here we go.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
And as I'm going down the stairs, Old Lee big
Lebowski comes down and I'm like.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
What's up, man. He's like hey. I was like he
starts father, He's like, where are you going? I was like,
my key's not work.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
He's like okay, and he's like like are you are
you going downstairs or something? He's like, it's hanging out, man, Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Really the big Lebowski sure you got home?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
All righty?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
He just Lee blended in perfectly.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Oh my god, not really.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Yeah, listen what he's just straight Cali like, Lee is
Lee wherever he's at, don't like he's just He's just him.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
It's awesome. I love it.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Yesterday on the plane, that's one of the hardest I've
ever laughed in my life. I don't know the last
time I've literally cried. I was laughing so hard. We're
sitting on the plane and Lee's Lee's and it's a
four seater. I'm on the outside, Lee's on the inside
to my right, and there's like this little old lady
who's got an N ninety five mask on sitting right
(10:51):
next to Lee. So at some point during the eleven
hour flight that we were on, Lee fell asleep and listen,
he may or may not have been licking the lid
a little bit while we were flying, and and so
Lee falls asleep, and Lee snores when he sleeps, and
so all of a sudden, and I'm not paying attention.
(11:12):
I'm trying to do something on my computer, and I
just hear the lady going.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Hey, hey, hey, can you can you.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
Go over that way? You're blowing all over me and sorry,
and I'm looking at Lee. He's like, bott, I couldn't.
I couldn't breathe. I was laughing.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
He's so hard, can you go over that way?
Speaker 4 (11:42):
I thought I thought you were gonna say he ripped
because he had one of the worst smelling farts that
I've ever Oh.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Yeah, you have no like he he dropped one in
front of Jade, and I would say that, like we're outside,
and it was one of those ones where he lifted
his leg and shook it out like he.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Didn't he didn't pass gas. He's starting the motorcycle. He escaped,
it escaped his body. It was almost like Lee, He's like,
all right, you can go now. Listen, we've held you
long enough in captivity, you can go now. And I'm
looking at like did you really do that? In Jane's
like that really happened, and Lee's like, yeah, I had to.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Okay, this guy, we were at a bar and this
guy came over and to take a photo and he
had to have just ripped one, and like.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
It was so bad. I couldn't I couldn't smile. And
his wife.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
It smelled so bad, and his wife kept being like,
I'm gonna try to take another one, and I'm.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Like, I'm so, I can't do it. I was like
I can't. I was like trying. I was trying to,
and I was like, this is just gonna be the
worst photo ever. You have to deal with it. I'm sorry.
I was like, I'm like allergic to something you're wearing.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Yeah, and there was but yeah, the old uh, you
got to get to the airport on time. You really
got to get to the airport on time. It's told
with some of the lines that we saw, like we
were able to use the kiosk to get through, so
we were fine, but there was a lot of people
stuck in line that I don't know how the hell
they made their flights.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
It was Yeah, it was jammed up.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
But man, and now now the big question becomes, does
Georgia Tech, Georgia Tech, Florida State deliver? Like, Yeah, that's
a that's a tough act to follow.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Man, what what.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Notre Dame brought out and just the everything that came
along with it, That's that's gonna be tough for anybody
to follow up.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
But man, what a hell of.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
A just display of football and pride in your team
and your university and everything else. And the Naval Academy
being there, it was just awesome. Uh and Lee was there,
so that was the most important thing.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Big Lee, Big Lee, BASKI, what are you doing?
Speaker 7 (13:52):
Lee?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Just hanging out?
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Man? Hanging out? Man?
Speaker 4 (13:55):
He was like, okay, but the best is just anywhere
we'd go. Man, I feel like it was like Lee
was like Brad Pitton, like the eleven series. He always
had a beer in his hands.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Awesome.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
And they look at you weird, like if you if
you if you're not drinking a beer, it's like you're
the a hole, Like, oh you're not having a beer.
It's like, okay, I guess I will you just kind
of get sort of I'm not bullied into it, but
just pressure.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
It's like, okay, Well.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
At LeVar, I'm I'm sure you can imagine. Jonas was
in that position quite a bit. You're not gonna not
gonna toast I canna have a beer and they're like
he's like, oh yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Because Alice saw the hat. I mean you look the part.
Yeah you like that little yeah. Yeah, trying to do
my best, but it just out here. You go to
a work function and there's it's like an unspoken rule
like yeah, maybe don't have a drink. You know you
probably it's okay, but you probably don't have a drink hour.
I mean but in Dublin, no, you have to have
(14:51):
a drink. You're an a hole if you don't have
a drink. Joe Montana was having drinks.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Oh my goodness, LeVar.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Want to do I've been little I've been with.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Before, Like we talked.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
We had to go on stage to talk for a
little bit, and I looked at I looked at Jonas.
I'm like, oh, it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
I can't wait to see what he's gonna say.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, I was, uh yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Joe Montana, one of the all time grades had a
little bit of an issue with with equipment.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
There can I say this.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Yeah, there's a chair that kept like falling down. So
so Joe at one point got interviewed during the game,
and I don't know if it was the first I
think it was like a second half maybe, but uh
like and someone was saying, hell, you know, that's the
longest interview Joe Montana is done. Is a part of
Notre Dame and it's you know, quite as long as
we can remember. And the relationship with the university is
(15:48):
as good as it's ever been. And and I was like, yeah,
that was probably that was part of it. I was
like the others.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
He had a few drinks. I think he was okay,
just hanging out, have a good time.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yeah he was. He was wespa ors Man. You know
I'd been to ailbow. Yeah he was.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
He was getting after it, but but he was.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
He was fun though, And and the whole event was
you know, that was that was a lot of fun
to get to hang and talk with those guys and
just learn more about the tradition and all that, and
goett to get Penn State out to one of those
bar they gotta played in Dublin. Oh, man, what a
good time. Yeah, how about Penn State and Notre Dame.
Now that would be and I'd be ready to go.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
The problem is, like we were talking about what the
folks that put it on, it's just it's hard to
get to give away a home game. Yeah, you know
that's what it was. It was a Notre Dame home game.
So you gotta find the school that wants to do it.
When you've got a stadium like Penn State doesn't one
hundred thousand or some of the others, that's a hard one. Well,
that's a you gotta pay him a lot in order
to come over there, right.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
And that stadium's too small like for the for those two. Yeah,
it's like it's just under fifty two thousand man, Notre Dame,
Penn State. Yeah, you need a hundred You need a
hundred grand if you're going to make that happen on
your grand stand.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
So one of the stories that we had been monitoring
and discussing here on the show for a long time
was what the hell are the forty nine ers going
to do with Trey Lance if he can't win the
starting war back job. The question was answered and thenatively
and then what are they going to do if he
can't win the number two quarter back job? Well, I
(17:36):
guess that answer that answer hammer has dropped.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah, and the decision was made.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
And so while while we were working and doing shows
in Ireland and everybody was trying to figure out how
this whole thing was going to play out with Trey Lance,
he was traded to the Dallas Cowboys for a twenty
twenty four fourth round pick. A lot of people may
be surprised that they got some value for a guy
who's played in five games since twenty nineteen college included,
(18:06):
but nonetheless Trey Lance, and the reasoning behind it was
he wanted an opportunity to compete for the number two
quarterback job. Apparently he's going to get that opportunity in Dallas.
He had it in San Francisco. It did not work out.
He lost to Sam Darnolds. And now Trey Lance is
a member of the Dallas Cowboys little quarterback.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Trade here as we get ready for the season.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
What's the most surprising part?
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Is it the fact that they didn't hang on to
him in any capacity? Is it who actually made the
trade for him?
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I mean, is this like, say anything.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
To you guys about maybe where the Cowboys think they
are with Dak.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
That's the first thing I thought about. But you gotta
be careful, LaVar. You start criticizing Dak, you know they're
going to come after you. Well, I have no problem.
I have no problem with they Cowboy fans. They get
pissed at LeVar talks about that. I'm well, first of all,
we've all I think, oh god.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
No, you're trainer with the Giants. I just named slipped
my mind. But he told me to tell you low.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Oh yeah, he came by.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Ronnie came by.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Yeah, he came by Ronnie Barnes.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean if he you know,
could have been byron But he was he was he
happened to be. Uh did he have glasses? I think
I think so, I'm very sophisticated young man.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Oh no, he was not younger he was, I know,
he wasn't young.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I was just calling him all man, but last name
Barnes has his own practice.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
I think so.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
I don't know, man, it was everything was kind of
blurry for a while there. I mean, is he on
my side? No, No, he's on the other side. Yeah
he was on he's on your side Ronnie. Then I just.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Looked up Ronnie and I can confirm that's not him. Yeah,
that was not him.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Sorry, that's a different one. But anyway, he wanted to
tell you. Sorry, I didn't mean to get off track.
I was like, as soon as you were like thinking
about I was like, all right, LeVar Giants Division rival, Okay, Okay.
I was like, yeah, it's trainer.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Yeah, well, here's what I'll say about the whole.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Movie. Yeah, he wasn't.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
I was just trying to get it out without like
being too obvious, Like is he block on?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Is he your brother?
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Is he black Johnson?
Speaker 7 (20:29):
No?
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Which piano? Which piano? Key?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Is he?
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Well? The one that has more.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
You're so late.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Wen had a whole conversation happening. That was the one Mark.
That was the one Mark made pulled the trigger.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
There's my opening.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Way to go, Mark.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I think this is I think it's clear that we.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Will learn what Dak Prescott is to the Dallas Cowboys
this season and what that means moving into the future.
I don't know that them getting Trey Lance means that
this is the end for Dak Prescott. I definitely don't
think that that's what it is. But I do think
(21:26):
that it is a definitive decision that says that if
Dak Prescott doesn't have the type of year that is
acceptable to probably Jerry Jones, that this is the beginning
of the end.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
I do believe that.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
And whether they had brought Trey Lance in or not,
I think that that's still the conclusion that you probably
have to come to. And looking at what's going on
with a closing window of opportunity with the current roster
that they have in Dallas.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
It was interesting too, only because then like when you see, uh,
you know, Dallas makes this trade for Trey Lance, and
I understand that every owner, every front office member can say, look,
you're always looking at boll string up you know, your
roster any way you can, and especially behind the quarterback spot,
as we've even seen reports about like Wentz and the
(22:23):
Chiefs maybe looking at bringing him in because God forbid,
something happens to your starter you do, know, want your
entire season be derailed if you feel like you have
a really good team, And the Cowboys do have a
good team, So there could be some justification there for.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Saying, hey, we want to have some depth.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
We want to have some guy, that guy that we
feel really good about, you know, as he sits and
watches Dak and learning from and he has a similar
skill set, like the comp When I was watching Trey
Lance when he was coming out from North Coast State,
I was like, reminds me a lot of Dak Prescott,
like the way he ran the football and the way,
you know, kind of threw the football round. But then
(22:57):
then you're like, and Jury starts saying, oh, we were
kind of trying to get on a Jailen hurts there too,
and it's wait, wait a.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Second, did you have Dak? Then like hold on, hold
on now, Like how committed.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Really are you? I mean, right now, he's under contract
obviously for the next couple of seasons, and it's a
monumental dead cap hit. If they were to just straight
out outright cut him and move on next year, it's
like like sixty two million. So like he's under contract,
he's got a couple of voidable years at the end
with a team ask control, so he's really not an
(23:31):
unrestricted free agent until twenty twenty five. But it's really
structured where the Cowboys cannot move on. It's really hard
to trade him because his cap hit is so big.
His CAPPIT in twenty twenty four is fifty nine million.
So really the way his deal is structured at this
point after this year, depending on how it goes, it's
(23:54):
going to be restructured. It has to be like they
don't want to have to absorb almost sixty million against
the cap in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
So if he does well, he'll get extended.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
They'll restructure and you'll see additional years and you know what,
those moneies will be tagged onto it, and that cap
hit will be reduced. If he doesn't, I'll be curious
to see what happens, you know, moving.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Forward, Cooper Rush played pretty well last year. It's kind
of interesting that they would need well. Okay, I mean,
they come on, they were winning games with Cooper Rush.
At least they did one game as a backup quarterback too,
so he's.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Going He was four and one as a starter last year.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Cooper Rush you know, Rush, Rush, What you do to me?
He was winning?
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Rush?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Is that Paul Abdul?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Yeah, that was a good song. That was the first
day lough right.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
The fact that the fact that they brought in Trey
Lance to compete for the backup quarterback job when he
had a backup quarterback who was service the last here,
it's just kind of it kind of leads to maybe
this wasn't about just.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
You're trying to like hype it up like he was
carrying them.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
I don't know that that was the case.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
I like, there was like a lot of people that
had Cooper Rush and their MVP conversations.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Some people even had conversations of why bring back the
other guy?
Speaker 5 (25:19):
I agree.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
You realize they held their opponents of those four wins
to seventeen points or less.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, because his last name is Rush and you.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Rushed the corners rush.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Yeah. And he kept you know, he kept the offense
off the field, you know, yeah, because he was doing
so well as a quarterback.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Yeah, so he did fine. I'm I'm not trying to
like hate. I'm just saying, like, let's let's calm down here.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
I'm just saying he's number two on the depth chart.
Even with this blockbuster trade MVP considerations from some people.
I mean, all it takes is for Dak to go
down and then the MVP races. It's back on.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
And Dak Deak has possibly go down, has had some
injury issues. You know what this does say though, that
the number two competition between Sam Darnold and Trey Lance
must have been such a wipeout.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Yeah, yeah, that they didn't even.
Speaker 6 (26:14):
It wasn't even unless Trey Lance made it to the
point to where it would be awkward if he was
a backup quarterback to Brock Purty. But this feels like
he got dominated in that backup.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Jo, don't let Sam darrg get an opportunity in that offense.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
I'm just telling you he'll he's get a ball out
if he plays in Shanahan's system.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
You've seen a little bit in preseason.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
I'm just telling you, I think he's his skill set
and the style of offense and how Kyle can work around
all that. I'm telling you, man, he'll be really good
in that system. If something happens to Purty or if
he starts to kind of cool off.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Can you guys think of a comp where a team
gave up the amount that they gave up to move
up to draft a guy, and this is what the
end result was a couple of years later. Can you
think of this ever happening in the NFL before, because
I can't think of all the draft capital they gave
up and then to get basically bailed out by the
(27:12):
last pick of the day.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
It was awkward to listening to John Lynch speak about
Trey Lance, like, oh, he just spoke so highly of him. Man,
He's just such a great guy, and you know, it's
just unfortunate that we had to, you know, go this
direction with it. And he talked about how aggressive and
(27:36):
how much Dallas wanted him and giving up that tremendously
large fourth round draft pick to bring them in and
just everything that played a part and him ending up
in Dallas, like it was an opportunity that they just
couldn't pass up with, you know, with Trey Lance. It
just it just made you just start to wonder, Like, honestly,
(27:59):
you know, some people could see it as bad for football.
I actually see it as good.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
I thought it was.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
It was an interesting move, it was an aggressive move,
and it almost seems as though they may have cutting
at the end of of this this off season, like
or at the end of this preseason, that they would
have let him go. I mean, it just seemed like
they weren't even going to hold on to him. And
(28:28):
I think that that's kind of it's such a different time.
I mean, you you tell me, Q, but I almost
feel like when a quarterback of of of that high
of a draft stock ends up with this type of
of fate and their their their original their original landing
place where they got drafted, it just says to me
(28:50):
that the NFL is taking on a more less loyal,
more aggressive approach to what it is that they would
like to achieve.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
One hundred percent, right, one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
I think it's it's never become harder for young quarterbacks
to try to go in and succeed, at least in
the aspect of the expectations are through the roof immediately.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
I mean, we talked about CJ. Stroud earlier being named
the starter.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
If he doesn't look to be the part, there are
going to be people who write him off, which is
incredibly unfair to him, or Bryce Young or Anthony Richardson,
any of the rookie quarterback that's going to start out
the gate, right, I mean, I don't care like who
you are.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
It takes time.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Everyone's got a different learning curve, everyone's in a different
situation and circumstance. And unfortunately we see just so many
people now have the expectation that like they're going to
come in from day one and be able to make
their team a Super Bowl contender, and there's just so
much that goes into it.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
So it's a it's unforse center.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
For Trey Lance, and Jonas did a really good job
of painting the picture of you know, how he performed
in the limited action that he saw. I mean, the
reality is, but he had two starts back in twenty
twenty one, wasn't too bad. He got what two starts
in twenty twenty two last year and and didn't look
(30:23):
as good.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Right.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
One of those was in a monsoon in Chicago, which
if you're going to hold Trey Lance to that standard,
you should probably hold Justin Fields to.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
That standard, like a legitimate MAGI. Yeah, like neither neither
threw well on.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
That at Soldier Field, which is But that's.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
The problem is you have so many nerds who are
like box Score viadeers, like good stats, Like, all right, Nerd,
go back to Monrace, NERD, go watch the tape and
tell me that you were expecting your quarterback to have
a perfect riding after those conditions.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
Nerd.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
By the way, mon Soon on the worst field condition
to the NFL, like a slip.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Slider soldier field.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
So but my point is this is like Nerd, between
him getting injured and then I guess in this second year,
not seeing the progression you'd hope for, which really only
came down to like one start of the two he.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
Had, you kind of look at it and go, all right.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
We've got this other guy who's a lot cheaper, and
we've got Nick Bosa.
Speaker 5 (31:24):
We've got a number of the really good players we'd
like to build around.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
And if we can go ahead and utilize Brock Purty
on his rookie deal, that's a lot cheaper while we
build these other contracts, and if we can find a
backup for relatively cheap, which they did in Sam Darnold,
we're kind of good at moving on. Let's just cut
our losses and move on. We can't change the decision.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
That we made. And again I've said this and I
will continue to say it.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
I still think they're trade up to number three was
it with an entirely different intent. And that's why probably
internally there's not as much pressure or heat the decision
to trade away those draft picks to go to that
spot because I again, I think it was in an
attempt to lure the packers and the trader of Aaron
(32:09):
Rodgers and going up there, and once the Green Bay
deal fell through, they were stuck in that spot of
taking Trey Lance like they did.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
So look, hindsights, what you know, it is what it is.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
But as far as what they what they gave up
to go get him, I mean, they just felt like
they're in a different situation now to go win a
Super Bowl and they've got a guy in Brock pretty
they believe it, So why not allow Trey Lance an
opportunity to go somewhere else where he can continue his career.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
I think that. Look, John Winch is a genuine guy.
I think there's a lot of genuine.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Comments he made about Trey Lance and how he feels
towards him. So look, I'm glad Trey Lance got a
landing spot in Dallas. I do think that's a good
situation for him. He could have been dealt to other places,
and this is a This is a legit one.

Dynasty Exchange on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever
you get your podcasts.
Speaker 6 (34:08):
It should be like what one o'clock in Dublin, Ireland
right now where we're just at. It's that time difference.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
You loved it.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
It's just it's weird because you don't know, you don't
realize start times to games are late until it's not
until the next day that they're being shown, right, Like, yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
So well, I was gonna say, like it was eight
hours obviously for your folks on the West Coast.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
But what was odd was just like you kind of
had to communicate with folks back in the States. Like
you'd wake up and you'd get all the stuff they'd
texted you or emailed you the night before, and then
you'd respond, and then you wouldn't hear from them until
the end of your day, where they'd get back to
you with those responses and then you'd respond and then
(34:56):
you wouldn't communicate again until the following morning. So there's
like two windows of communication with all of civilization in
America while we were over there.
Speaker 6 (35:05):
It's like I texted my wife, like early on the
first show, I sent her a picture and she's like, hey,
it's three thirty in the morning.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
What are you doing and.
Speaker 6 (35:17):
I didn't even because you walk into a bar at
eleven am and people are raging. I mean they're having drinks,
they're you know, tealing was there. They were handing out
you know, whiskey and everything else that came along with it,
and it was just the norm, like everyone just just
hanging out and let's have a drink, and you just forget.
You lose concept of time and place and what everything
(35:40):
is like back home. So it's it's been a little
bit of an adjustment there. But okay, Notre Dame Navy.
Notre Dame did show up. Sam Hartman showed up big time,
the thirty seven year old transfer from Wake Forest.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
No.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
But he looked fantastic. He is climbing the Heisman odds boards.
He is now number three behind Caleb Williams who's at
plus four p fifty who looked great as well too,
and Jane Daniels at LSU and now you've got Sam Harvin.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
They're sitting there.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
I think Zachariah Branch might have stole the show there
at Southern Cow. My god, that kid looks like the
making of like a Reggie Bush. Now he's at wide
receiver for them and he's a true freshman. But I
just watching that kid in that game. I have not
seen a kid that looks like Reggie Bush until Zachariah Branch. Wow,
that's the first kid I've ever seen that. I said,
(36:37):
that's going to be a problem for everyone, Like he
looks like he's just playing at a faster speed than
everyone else that's out there. But no, look, Sam Hartman
was exactly what Notre Dame was hoping. He would be
that steady, calm hand that can handle everything at the
line of scrimmage. Navy at times tried to utilize an
(36:57):
all out blitz blit zero heed. He knew where to
go with the football, he knew what he knew in
the two minute drive march right down the field before
the end of the first half.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
It was all the things that you had hoped for.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
And one of the reasons why I think he skyrocketed
up for the Heisman odds is for starters, he's the
quarterback of Notre Dame. That that's going to help you.
But more importantly is where this team is at. This
team now has been building towards a national title contender.
They've been in the playoffs a couple of times in
recent years. But everyone's kind of question based on the
(37:32):
performance whether or not they're able to compete with the
big dogs. The difference has been quarterback, and they've got
one now that's able to truly utilize the wide receivers
on the outside. Like I'm telling you, they've got They've
got the guys, you know, Jayden Thomas, Deon Colesey are
big bodied targets and they can do some of the
(37:53):
football after it. You know, Jaden Greathhouse, Rico Flores, Chris Tyree,
other guys who are mixing.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
Into have speed to make people miss. Like.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
They've got a nice assortment of weapons at wide receiver
that we really haven't had the ability to tap into
with the quarterbacks that have been there. And so it
opens things up in a big way because you've got
this huge offensive line that wants to mal people with
a two hundred and twenty five pounds back that's got
(38:23):
bad intentions. And by the way, it's a stable of backs.
Janderium Price showed out first. Carrie got a touchdown run
and you're doing it on the list. Jeremiah Love's got
a ton of speed out of the backfield. He got
some burn time too, so it's a dangerous combination. The
only thing coming out of the game that you're really
curious about is the defense because maybe such a unique attack,
(38:43):
you're not going to see if they have a pass
rush or the ability to cover down. And I don't
know that they're going to see if they have the
ability to do that until they play Ohio State, which
is Week four of college football. So that game, though,
I think, you know, was one that look, they should
have won, they should have. Navy's in a really bad
spot right now as a program.
Speaker 5 (39:05):
But it just it's.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
Certified all the things that you had hoped for out
of Sam Hartman and any questions you might have in
regards to Jared Parker as an offensive play caller.
Speaker 5 (39:15):
You know, coming into this one.
Speaker 6 (39:17):
A lot of those early matchups in college football, and
you could see it at the Notre Dame Navy game
just when they lined up at kickoff, like, oh, yeah,
one team's just significantly better, bigger, it looked stronger. Yeah,
they look different athletes.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
And that's the difference of like when we travel around
the country for Big neon kickoff and we see like
the Michigans, the Ohio States last year, Bama Texas like
all these different schools Oklahoma, you get a sense because
you see like the big boys and that, and that's
to me, what makes the biggest difference is when you
it's two things. It's when you have the big boys
up front on both sides of the ball, and then
(39:51):
you have depth, like you're looking at dude who aren't
starting here, going oh, that guy's gonna be good, Like
he's gonna have a shot at the NFL. So it's
it's those two sides of the ball up front, and
then it's the speed, and then you know size and
length on the perimeter and like wide receiver in dB
and and I'll just this isn't hyperbole. This isn't me,
(40:13):
you know, blowing one game out of proportion because because
I've got a measured approach to Navy. Navy's really struggled
by the way in opening games of the season and
in particular plan in Ireland. But this is the best
as far as team speed, size, athleticism that Notre Dame
has had since I can remember. Wow, I mean, as
(40:34):
far as all those things. And it's a credit to
Marcus Freeman. It's a credit to the boys there. The development,
the weight room and all that, but recruiting specifically the
young dudes coming up like they've got some studs, they
really do.
Speaker 6 (40:45):
And like when you're calling that West Virginia penn State
game like this, not like West Virginia is just a
nothing program. It's a Division one program, and it's going
to be obvious how much bigger and faster and stronger
Penn State is in West virgin.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Yeah, but it's a it's a great matchup because of
the familiarity factor. You know West Virginia, you know, they
they borderline Pennsylvania and and it's it's called the backyard
brawl for a reason with them versus pitt They they
fight hard, they're they're they're always going to come in
(41:22):
with a tooth chipping mentality. Like they they try to
play at a at a level, at a high level
that's competitive, and you know that they've always been respected
West Virginia w VU football is a very well respected program.
And even if they're not you know, high up or
tops you know, and and what it you know, ranking wise,
(41:47):
they they always seem to have a ton of talent
on their team. And that's you know, there's always cause
for concern because that's the type of team that's good
enough to win an opening game, and and so you
can't take a game like this lightly, which makes it
a really really cool matchup for Penn State coming right
(42:07):
out of the gate. But I mean people are lathered
up and they are ready to go for this Penn
State season. Man, I tell you, this might be the
most pressure packed season and probably maybe coach Franklin's entire
tenure there. This is like, this is a big one,
(42:28):
this is a big year. So he got to get
one of them. He got a clip at least o
State or Michigan this year. You got to clip one
of them.
Speaker 4 (42:36):
And the tough thing is like Michigan's built to me.
If like you were checking all the boxes for you know,
a team that should win the national championship, you'd have
to say it's Michigan. With everything they have coming back
their soft non conference schedule. You know, the toughest road
test is going to be Penn State at Penn State,
but they get Ohio State coming to their house. I mean,
(42:57):
starting returning quarterback who's a stud, offensive line studs, backfield studs,
experience a wide receiver, not have eleven on defense. I
mean it's it sets up for them to make a
national championship run. And I don't even think they're favored
right now to winning the Big Ten, which is a
bit surprising. Like everyone's kind of just giving Ohio State
(43:17):
the benefit.
Speaker 5 (43:17):
Of the doubt.
Speaker 4 (43:18):
But I would say next to Michigan, a lot of
people should talk more Penn State because of all all
the star players. Like I know, people are like, well, hey,
you got Maya Williams and Tradevon Henderson. Like well, yeah,
but you got like Singleton and Kate tron Allen too,
Like you got you got two beast backs of Penn State.
(43:38):
And let's look at the offensive line, like you're not
going to find a better offensive lineman than yeah, Like
your left tackles arguably be one of the best in
the country. By the way, there's no indecision about who
your starting quarterback is. Higo State's still trying to figure
that out. Defensively too, I mean, when you start matching
up Ohio.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
State, pensatively going to be it's it's it's a rap.
Our secondary we got one of the best secondaries in
the country. Our linebacking corps one of the best linebacking
corps in the country. Our defensive front one of the
best defensive fronts in the country. Like we're we're tops
at every level. Our secondary is sick, no fly zone,
locked down, you like it's and I'm like excited about it.
(44:19):
Like it's been a while since I've been really excited about,
you know, going into a season with our team. But
this is this is one of those years where you say,
this could be a special year. You got theo at
at tight end, big, the big Canadian, I mean, amazing,
you know we've got. And then when you talk about Drew,
(44:39):
Drew Aller is to me, and I continue to say it,
he is the first bona fide franchise quarterback that we've
had since Carry Collins. And we've had some really good quarterbacks.
Darryl Clark was good, Mike Robinson, you know obviously Trace mcsword,
like you know, Cliff and all those guys we've had,
We've had, We've had some good quarterbacks in our past.
Speaker 4 (45:02):
Let me let me kind of not not to clarify,
but let me like say the other way of how
I'd say what you said is he's a guy that
I look at and I say, that's a.
Speaker 5 (45:10):
First round drafted quarterback. Yeah, like you guys haven't had
that no since Carrie Collins. Yes, and you look.
Speaker 4 (45:18):
At him and you're saying, like, you know, he's he's
gonna be a guy we talk about here in two
years ago.
Speaker 5 (45:23):
Yeah, that guy's gonna be being a top ten pick.
Speaker 3 (45:26):
Listen. I always say this, and I love using the
terminology franchise guy because I always say, if you look
at college football, look at where the franchise quarterbacks go
to school, no matter what the era may be. If
if the franchise guys are going to Notre Dame, Notre
Dame's going to win. If the franchise guys are going
(45:46):
to Florida State, Florida State is going to win. If
they're going to USC, usc is going to win. Like
wherever you Texas. If you see a franchise quarterback, a
franchise caliber quarterback out of high school go to a
college chant especially if they get it two three classes
in a row, chances are that team is going to win.
Speaker 6 (46:05):
The fact that Franklin was able to pull him out
of Ohio, where Michigan and Ohio State were both after him,
that's got.
Speaker 3 (46:11):
To be Drew Aller Man. I'm gonna tell you Drew Aller.
You know how the QB making his bold predictions about
like guys like you made his prediction about Caleb and
all those got Liz.
Speaker 5 (46:23):
Long Teller, are you calling your shot right now?
Speaker 2 (46:25):
Drew Aller Heisman Trophy?
Speaker 3 (46:27):
He's that good? Drew Aler is that good? He's that good?
And I haven't I haven't been able to say that
confidently and feel no type.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
Of twenty five to one on DraftKings.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
It's not I don't know that it's a It's not
a bad It wouldn't be a bad.
Speaker 6 (46:44):
Pick because I know Trey Lance is the overwhelming favorite.
But it seems like Trey Lance or not. Why am
I saying Caleb Williams.
Speaker 3 (46:52):
What do I say? Ketch Jesus?
Speaker 6 (46:54):
But it seems like the people that vote want to
do whatever they can to make sure there's not a
back to back winner. They kind of they kind of
you know, slam towards.
Speaker 5 (47:04):
Yeah, because because.
Speaker 4 (47:06):
Again, and we'll see if Caleb can do it. I
think he's got a great shot with the talent they've got.
But the only thing I worry about for Drew Aller
is with two of those backs in the backfield, It's like,
you know, they're gonna they're gonna share.
Speaker 5 (47:20):
Some of the love too.
Speaker 4 (47:21):
Oh, you know, absolutely, that's that's the hardest part is
like with Caleb because of how bad their defense was
last year and him scrambling around making plays and all that,
like it was all him. Like when you watch them,
you're like, Okay, he's like willing their team to win.
Speaker 5 (47:38):
I think they're gonna have so much more balance.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
Because they have a lot of balance.
Speaker 4 (47:42):
Like that might like that might take away from the
appreciation of how good he'll be.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
I think it's going to pay. I think that's going
to pay dividends for him though. I think that balance
and the big ten is going to make the difference
because he's going to make big plays. Sure he might
not have like you like what you're saying. He might
not have the statistical Yeah, he might not have the
statistical showing, but he's going to have to have some
(48:06):
really really big moments for this team to to live
up to an expectation of where you would look at
Drew Aller and be like, man, he's the man.
Speaker 6 (48:15):
So he's six ' five, I'm telling you, he's big bed, Yeah,
good looking, he's.
Speaker 5 (48:21):
Big ben, but he's he's more more refined.
Speaker 3 (48:24):
And he is cool as a cucumber. Man. You meet
the dude, just the cool dude you wouldn't even know
like he's like that. He's the type of dude you'd
be happy if your daughter's dating them. That's the type
of dude he is. Like, he has that type of
way about him. So I'm really excited about it. I
got some time. I got a little bit of time
with him at Avalon the Avalon event we did where
(48:45):
I went a couple of weeks back, and tell you what, man,
he's a super impressive dude, very humble dude, easy to
talk to, has has great feedback, you know, is present.
You know, doesn't have like that kind of standoff or
arrogance about him where you're like, man, dude's kind of
like self absorbed or something like that. You just you
(49:07):
you walk away from him, like that's a guy that
guys are going to follow. You're going to leve him
in the locker room and he's going to come up big.
He's going to play big for you. And I'm I'm
I'm pretty excited about him. Man.
Speaker 6 (49:20):
I mean, listen, Brady, what you're in Minnesota on Thursday?
Thursday and then at TCS Colorado on Saturday's going to be.
Speaker 3 (49:30):
Do a big show. You know you do it is
big show on TV. He does, Hey, he does. He's
the man big time.
Speaker 5 (49:35):
He is just trying to figure out how hot it's
going to be.
Speaker 4 (49:38):
Man, these early games, you get down the South, it's
like over one hundred degrees. You're baking, like sweating profusely.
People look at you like you're.
Speaker 6 (49:48):
Just a freaking What was the game last year where
Lioner was just sweating his ass off?
Speaker 1 (49:52):
It was?
Speaker 2 (49:54):
It was an early game.
Speaker 5 (49:55):
God was it it was?
Speaker 4 (49:56):
It might have been TCU, or could have been Oklahoma,
Oklahoma one of the games it was. Oh no, it
was Austin. It was when we were in Texas.
Speaker 3 (50:04):
Nothing Michigan. I'm sorry, I know you're talking about the heat.
Oh that nothing. Nothing bes watching when ya was in
that jug had me rolled it. I was like, look
at how cold they are.
Speaker 5 (50:19):
That's where like, you know, we have an amazing wardrobe department.
But that was when.
Speaker 4 (50:23):
I was we need to we need to like brief people,
they need to come out to these games with us.
So they're like, oh, you need those types of long
John's because like the Long John's they'll send or like
some California stuff.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
You know.
Speaker 5 (50:35):
It's like it's like just an extra little fin layer.
Speaker 3 (50:38):
Yeah you need, like I need, yeah, long job death
row draw.
Speaker 4 (50:44):
That's right, that's right. That might look but at least
be warm. Sitting there look bad where you.
Speaker 2 (50:52):
Get unbuttoned the back.
Speaker 5 (50:56):
In the backflap
Speaker 3 (50:58):
The real one h
This is the best of two pros and a couple
Joe with Lamar arings and rating Win and Jonas Knox
on radio.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
So, well, how's everybody feeling here on a Monday morning?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Who yes, I'm rested. I can imagine, you know, it's
a little a little wild out there, you know what.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Let's say what that was one of the coolest experiences,
just kind of taking it all in on the way
back and looking back through photos, thinking back through different moments.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
I mean, so much fun and fortunately.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Like if you don't like sports, I feel bad for
you, you know, I just I really do, because you miss
out on great opportunities just to experience like cool life
stuff like that.
Speaker 6 (00:50):
That was awesome just seeing the way Dublin operates in
Ireland and just you know, the how kind everybody was
and welcoming and warm they were, and it just like
I was telling LeVar before the show.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
It's what they do is they drink.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
It's just kind of all damn, it's just like work
a bed.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
The only thing that's a little bit surprising is in
some of the locations the last call is like eleven thirty,
like they're closed by midnight, and there's other places that
are open a little later, but they don't. I mean, look,
I live in South Florida near Miami. There's twenty four
seven clubs. Like if you really want to get it
in all day long, like you can, there isn't as
(01:36):
much of that, like they know where to draw the line,
but put it that way.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I wish I could have partaken.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Well by the way you were, you were, miss LeVar.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
I saw the.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Guy Gillis, Yeah, yeah, he's from pa after I after further.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
You know, big big LeVar, Aarnton fan.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
I mean he's a bigger than a name fan, but
he's a big fan of one LeVar.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Pretty freaking cool man. Yeah, missed everybody.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
Gentlemen showed up at the at buskers I believe on Friday,
I think it was Friday, showed up with a LeVar
Arrington Washington, Jersey.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Wow, yeah, pretty dope.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Was the mascot was what kind of.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I don't know if I could say that, although who
wasn't that just dropped it?
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Uh well one of the guys over there dropped yes,
the work Yeah we were what are the local.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Labs dropped it and I was like, oh that's hashtags.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Like oh yeah, sorry, about that. No, listen, man, a
lot of people to like that.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
No, that was back when we were at the Horizons
Horizon Therapeutic sh They were kind as well to me
and all them h they were.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
They were tremendous the entire time there.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
So it was cool just to see our football and
their culture embrace our football. Now as far as the
game goes, you know, I mean somebody tried to tell
everybody Notre Dame in the under. I mean that was
that was, you know, giving out some friendly betting advice.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
There, you're lucky, You're lucky. They called off the dogs.
It could have been Yeah, maybe I really thought they
were going to kind of keep the pedal down.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
But but it is interesting to see how much football
has grown overseas and see how I mean the.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
People go overseas. Oh yeah, listen, notice was.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
It overseas participation or was it everybody went overseas?
Speaker 5 (03:35):
There was I thought there was both, Yeah, there was both.
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I mean like the cool part was just to like
dig into some like stories from it. One of the
the taxi drivers was like, no, that you don't understand.
He's like, we don't get these fryovers very often.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
He's like when they go through. I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, No,
it's like we have that like all the time.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
It's America, Like we're always showing off our jets, are
helicopters or something they were.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
They were stoked about that, and so.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
That flyover was bad.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Ash.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
So the national anthem starts and you have to understand
it's really cloudy, like at that point there was a
pretty heavy miss and it's really cloudy.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Well, you start to hear the helicopters that are.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Coming, but you can't see them, and then they appear
out of nowhere, and I've never seen a fly over
this close. You could seem like literally I looked into
the guy's eyes like I was like, oh, he's got
b own.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Eyes, see it. It's that close.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
And at that point the entire place went nuts, and
it unfortunately wasn't tied up well with the national anthem,
so it drowned it out the last half, but we
did get the Irish or the Ireland national anthem, and
that was.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Just beautiful like that.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
The performer was incredible that moment, it was the whole
thing was just it was just very very well done.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Nice.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
It's the first time there were some throwback moments there.
It's the first time and I don't even know the
last time I can think of where there was no wanding.
When you walk through the door of the stadium. You
just kind of walked in and it was like, yeah,
you're good to go.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I want to beer. Uh sure. There was no security, like.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
There was no real like nobody was worried about all right,
you know, what weapon are you carrying in?
Speaker 5 (05:27):
What do you like?
Speaker 6 (05:28):
There was no issue whatsoever. You walked in, you got there.
The setup was awesome. I mean Notre Dame fans Lee
and I were walking around after the game, crazy raging.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Like it sort of went to Notre Dame.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Huh, oh my god. They were everywhere.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
I'll put it this way, dude, and I can I
can reput we retweat this or you know, repost it
on x or Twitter or whatever we're calling it.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
I've never seen anything like that.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Like I sat there down on the field with Ryan
Grant and Anthony Vassano and Pat Connotson, which you know,
we kind of looked around and just said, man, no
one else can do it like this, like where they
literally take over an entire city like this and It's
like if there was forty thousand I said that came over.
That wasn't they underestimated that that amount of people. Because
(06:19):
when you saw Notre Dame av is what they called it,
and you looked up and down how packed it was
and how many people were there, it was It's unlike
anything that I've ever seen for a college football game
that's not in the United States.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
It was crazy.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Navy had no shot, There was no chance whatsoever for Navy,
and their support group.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Was not very big.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
No, you, it was non existent, but it was.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
But it was so respectful, and I think the Navy
fans that came over were they kind of understood, all right,
this this isn't going to go well for us. But
it was such a magical feeling in the stadium and
just in the city the entire time there. Then I
think everybody acknowledged, Yeah, the game was almost secondary to
the pageantry, the presentation, the build up, the post game.
(07:10):
I mean, but unbelievable. They can throw them back, man,
all guys, all respect to Notre Dame fans. They can
drink their asses off.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
That was the people that were there. It was nuts.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Like I saw everything from politicians up through there. Kevin
Plank kind of talked for a while like there was all.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
These today are still an under armoured team.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Huh they know they just reupped. They just reap to
the biggest deal and uh who back with Adidas? No, right, Okay, yeah,
they just did that deal. So it's a ten year deal,
but it's a huge deal. And they just had like
such a such a crazy group of different people who
(07:52):
are in town for.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
I mean Will Ferrell was in town for with DP
and his crew.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
It was just I saw Martin was it Martin Short
was there?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Yeah, she got Zefie with Martin Short.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
Jade, who's who's one of the unsung heroes here at
f s R. She does just incredible work and helps
like in any of these events, like they're they're not
possible without Jade and just all her help with everything
she had.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I mean, can I can I air some grievances I've
got that with some things over there with Jade or
just no, no, no, no, Like what's up with the
no A C.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
We were talking about this like there's no circulation. It's
some of those buildings. It's like, come on, we're got
to figure this out, no ice?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
What do you ice for in the hotel rooms?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
What did you need ice for? Todd? What you need
ice for?
Speaker 5 (08:44):
What I needed? They had ice? It was down on
the reception floor. It's like got four three.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
I did go and guy did go get ice there,
but they didn't have like an ice bucket.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Was that before? That's when I saw him coming from
your room.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Whatever he was, Oh my god, can you tell that?
Speaker 5 (09:04):
So this is the other thing.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
My key cards like kept not working, so when you
went there, you had to get a key to your room,
but then in order to get into the fitness place,
you had to go down and have them put a
different access code on that key. Then they had like
a separate room that was really nice with like asana
and steam shower.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Which were very needed, as you can imagine, LeVar.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah, it's super nice though, but then you had to
get a separate key for that to get access to
it and to your room. And then for some reason,
the key cards like would stop working after a day
or so to your room, so you'd have to go
back down get another one.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Well, we happen to be out pretty late.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
This is like three four am in the morning, and
I literally go up to my room and it doesn't work.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
I'm like, oh, here we go.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
And as I'm going down the stairs, Old Lee big
Lebowski comes down and I'm like.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
What's up, man. He's like hey. I was like he
starts father, He's like, where are you going? I was like,
my key's not work.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
He's like okay, and he's like like are you are
you going downstairs or something? He's like, it's hanging out, man, Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Really the big Lebowski sure you got home?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
All righty?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
He just Lee blended in perfectly.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Oh my god, not really.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Yeah, listen what he's just straight Cali like, Lee is
Lee wherever he's at, don't like he's just He's just him.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
It's awesome. I love it.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Yesterday on the plane, that's one of the hardest I've
ever laughed in my life. I don't know the last
time I've literally cried. I was laughing so hard. We're
sitting on the plane and Lee's Lee's and it's a
four seater. I'm on the outside, Lee's on the inside
to my right, and there's like this little old lady
who's got an N ninety five mask on sitting right
(10:51):
next to Lee. So at some point during the eleven
hour flight that we were on, Lee fell asleep and listen,
he may or may not have been licking the lid
a little bit while we were flying, and and so
Lee falls asleep, and Lee snores when he sleeps, and
so all of a sudden, and I'm not paying attention.
(11:12):
I'm trying to do something on my computer, and I
just hear the lady going.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Hey, hey, hey, can you can you.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
Go over that way? You're blowing all over me and sorry,
and I'm looking at Lee. He's like, bott, I couldn't.
I couldn't breathe. I was laughing.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
He's so hard, can you go over that way?
Speaker 4 (11:42):
I thought I thought you were gonna say he ripped
because he had one of the worst smelling farts that
I've ever Oh.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Yeah, you have no like he he dropped one in
front of Jade, and I would say that, like we're outside,
and it was one of those ones where he lifted
his leg and shook it out like he.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Didn't he didn't pass gas. He's starting the motorcycle. He escaped,
it escaped his body. It was almost like Lee, He's like,
all right, you can go now. Listen, we've held you
long enough in captivity, you can go now. And I'm
looking at like did you really do that? In Jane's
like that really happened, and Lee's like, yeah, I had to.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Okay, this guy, we were at a bar and this
guy came over and to take a photo and he
had to have just ripped one, and like.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
It was so bad. I couldn't I couldn't smile. And
his wife.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
It smelled so bad, and his wife kept being like,
I'm gonna try to take another one, and I'm.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Like, I'm so, I can't do it. I was like
I can't. I was like trying. I was trying to,
and I was like, this is just gonna be the
worst photo ever. You have to deal with it. I'm sorry.
I was like, I'm like allergic to something you're wearing.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Yeah, and there was but yeah, the old uh, you
got to get to the airport on time. You really
got to get to the airport on time. It's told
with some of the lines that we saw, like we
were able to use the kiosk to get through, so
we were fine, but there was a lot of people
stuck in line that I don't know how the hell
they made their flights.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
It was Yeah, it was jammed up.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
But man, and now now the big question becomes, does
Georgia Tech, Georgia Tech, Florida State deliver? Like, Yeah, that's
a that's a tough act to follow.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Man, what what.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Notre Dame brought out and just the everything that came
along with it, That's that's gonna be tough for anybody
to follow up.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
But man, what a hell of.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
A just display of football and pride in your team
and your university and everything else. And the Naval Academy
being there, it was just awesome. Uh and Lee was there,
so that was the most important thing.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Big Lee, Big Lee, BASKI, what are you doing?
Speaker 7 (13:52):
Lee?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Just hanging out?
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Man? Hanging out? Man?
Speaker 4 (13:55):
He was like, okay, but the best is just anywhere
we'd go. Man, I feel like it was like Lee
was like Brad Pitton, like the eleven series. He always
had a beer in his hands.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Awesome.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
And they look at you weird, like if you if
you if you're not drinking a beer, it's like you're
the a hole, Like, oh you're not having a beer.
It's like, okay, I guess I will you just kind
of get sort of I'm not bullied into it, but
just pressure.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
It's like, okay, Well.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
At LeVar, I'm I'm sure you can imagine. Jonas was
in that position quite a bit. You're not gonna not
gonna toast I canna have a beer and they're like
he's like, oh yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Because Alice saw the hat. I mean you look the part.
Yeah you like that little yeah. Yeah, trying to do
my best, but it just out here. You go to
a work function and there's it's like an unspoken rule
like yeah, maybe don't have a drink. You know you
probably it's okay, but you probably don't have a drink hour.
I mean but in Dublin, no, you have to have
(14:51):
a drink. You're an a hole if you don't have
a drink. Joe Montana was having drinks.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Oh my goodness, LeVar.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Want to do I've been little I've been with.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Before, Like we talked.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
We had to go on stage to talk for a
little bit, and I looked at I looked at Jonas.
I'm like, oh, it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
I can't wait to see what he's gonna say.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, I was, uh yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Joe Montana, one of the all time grades had a
little bit of an issue with with equipment.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
There can I say this.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Yeah, there's a chair that kept like falling down. So
so Joe at one point got interviewed during the game,
and I don't know if it was the first I
think it was like a second half maybe, but uh
like and someone was saying, hell, you know, that's the
longest interview Joe Montana is done. Is a part of
Notre Dame and it's you know, quite as long as
we can remember. And the relationship with the university is
(15:48):
as good as it's ever been. And and I was like, yeah,
that was probably that was part of it. I was
like the others.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
He had a few drinks. I think he was okay,
just hanging out, have a good time.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yeah he was. He was wespa ors Man. You know
I'd been to ailbow. Yeah he was.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
He was getting after it, but but he was.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
He was fun though, And and the whole event was
you know, that was that was a lot of fun
to get to hang and talk with those guys and
just learn more about the tradition and all that, and
goett to get Penn State out to one of those
bar they gotta played in Dublin. Oh, man, what a
good time. Yeah, how about Penn State and Notre Dame.
Now that would be and I'd be ready to go.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
The problem is, like we were talking about what the
folks that put it on, it's just it's hard to
get to give away a home game. Yeah, you know
that's what it was. It was a Notre Dame home game.
So you gotta find the school that wants to do it.
When you've got a stadium like Penn State doesn't one
hundred thousand or some of the others, that's a hard one. Well,
that's a you gotta pay him a lot in order
to come over there, right.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
And that stadium's too small like for the for those two. Yeah,
it's like it's just under fifty two thousand man, Notre Dame,
Penn State. Yeah, you need a hundred You need a
hundred grand if you're going to make that happen on
your grand stand.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah.

Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
So one of the stories that we had been monitoring
and discussing here on the show for a long time
was what the hell are the forty nine ers going
to do with Trey Lance if he can't win the
starting war back job. The question was answered and thenatively
and then what are they going to do if he
can't win the number two quarter back job? Well, I
(17:36):
guess that answer that answer hammer has dropped.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah, and the decision was made.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
And so while while we were working and doing shows
in Ireland and everybody was trying to figure out how
this whole thing was going to play out with Trey Lance,
he was traded to the Dallas Cowboys for a twenty
twenty four fourth round pick. A lot of people may
be surprised that they got some value for a guy
who's played in five games since twenty nineteen college included,
(18:06):
but nonetheless Trey Lance, and the reasoning behind it was
he wanted an opportunity to compete for the number two
quarterback job. Apparently he's going to get that opportunity in Dallas.
He had it in San Francisco. It did not work out.
He lost to Sam Darnolds. And now Trey Lance is
a member of the Dallas Cowboys little quarterback.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Trade here as we get ready for the season.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
What's the most surprising part?
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Is it the fact that they didn't hang on to
him in any capacity? Is it who actually made the
trade for him?
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I mean, is this like, say anything.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
To you guys about maybe where the Cowboys think they
are with Dak.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
That's the first thing I thought about. But you gotta
be careful, LaVar. You start criticizing Dak, you know they're
going to come after you. Well, I have no problem.
I have no problem with they Cowboy fans. They get
pissed at LeVar talks about that. I'm well, first of all,
we've all I think, oh god.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
No, you're trainer with the Giants. I just named slipped
my mind. But he told me to tell you low.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Oh yeah, he came by.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Ronnie came by.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Yeah, he came by Ronnie Barnes.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean if he you know,
could have been byron But he was he was he
happened to be. Uh did he have glasses? I think
I think so, I'm very sophisticated young man.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Oh no, he was not younger he was, I know,
he wasn't young.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I was just calling him all man, but last name
Barnes has his own practice.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
I think so.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
I don't know, man, it was everything was kind of
blurry for a while there. I mean, is he on
my side? No, No, he's on the other side. Yeah
he was on he's on your side Ronnie. Then I just.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Looked up Ronnie and I can confirm that's not him. Yeah,
that was not him.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Sorry, that's a different one. But anyway, he wanted to
tell you. Sorry, I didn't mean to get off track.
I was like, as soon as you were like thinking
about I was like, all right, LeVar Giants Division rival, Okay, Okay.
I was like, yeah, it's trainer.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Yeah, well, here's what I'll say about the whole.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Movie. Yeah, he wasn't.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
I was just trying to get it out without like
being too obvious, Like is he block on?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Is he your brother?
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Is he black Johnson?
Speaker 7 (20:29):
No?
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Which piano? Which piano? Key?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Is he?
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Well? The one that has more.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
You're so late.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Wen had a whole conversation happening. That was the one Mark.
That was the one Mark made pulled the trigger.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
There's my opening.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Way to go, Mark.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I think this is I think it's clear that we.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Will learn what Dak Prescott is to the Dallas Cowboys
this season and what that means moving into the future.
I don't know that them getting Trey Lance means that
this is the end for Dak Prescott. I definitely don't
think that that's what it is. But I do think
(21:26):
that it is a definitive decision that says that if
Dak Prescott doesn't have the type of year that is
acceptable to probably Jerry Jones, that this is the beginning
of the end.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
I do believe that.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
And whether they had brought Trey Lance in or not,
I think that that's still the conclusion that you probably
have to come to. And looking at what's going on
with a closing window of opportunity with the current roster
that they have in Dallas.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
It was interesting too, only because then like when you see, uh,
you know, Dallas makes this trade for Trey Lance, and
I understand that every owner, every front office member can say, look,
you're always looking at boll string up you know, your
roster any way you can, and especially behind the quarterback spot,
as we've even seen reports about like Wentz and the
(22:23):
Chiefs maybe looking at bringing him in because God forbid,
something happens to your starter you do, know, want your
entire season be derailed if you feel like you have
a really good team, And the Cowboys do have a
good team, So there could be some justification there for.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Saying, hey, we want to have some depth.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
We want to have some guy, that guy that we
feel really good about, you know, as he sits and
watches Dak and learning from and he has a similar
skill set, like the comp When I was watching Trey
Lance when he was coming out from North Coast State,
I was like, reminds me a lot of Dak Prescott,
like the way he ran the football and the way,
you know, kind of threw the football round. But then
(22:57):
then you're like, and Jury starts saying, oh, we were
kind of trying to get on a Jailen hurts there too,
and it's wait, wait a.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Second, did you have Dak? Then like hold on, hold
on now, Like how committed.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Really are you? I mean, right now, he's under contract
obviously for the next couple of seasons, and it's a
monumental dead cap hit. If they were to just straight
out outright cut him and move on next year, it's
like like sixty two million. So like he's under contract,
he's got a couple of voidable years at the end
with a team ask control, so he's really not an
(23:31):
unrestricted free agent until twenty twenty five. But it's really
structured where the Cowboys cannot move on. It's really hard
to trade him because his cap hit is so big.
His CAPPIT in twenty twenty four is fifty nine million.
So really the way his deal is structured at this
point after this year, depending on how it goes, it's
(23:54):
going to be restructured. It has to be like they
don't want to have to absorb almost sixty million against
the cap in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
So if he does well, he'll get extended.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
They'll restructure and you'll see additional years and you know what,
those moneies will be tagged onto it, and that cap
hit will be reduced. If he doesn't, I'll be curious
to see what happens, you know, moving.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Forward, Cooper Rush played pretty well last year. It's kind
of interesting that they would need well. Okay, I mean,
they come on, they were winning games with Cooper Rush.
At least they did one game as a backup quarterback too,
so he's.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Going He was four and one as a starter last year.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Cooper Rush you know, Rush, Rush, What you do to me?
He was winning?
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Rush?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Is that Paul Abdul?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Yeah, that was a good song. That was the first
day lough right.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
The fact that the fact that they brought in Trey
Lance to compete for the backup quarterback job when he
had a backup quarterback who was service the last here,
it's just kind of it kind of leads to maybe
this wasn't about just.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
You're trying to like hype it up like he was
carrying them.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
I don't know that that was the case.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
I like, there was like a lot of people that
had Cooper Rush and their MVP conversations.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Some people even had conversations of why bring back the
other guy?
Speaker 5 (25:19):
I agree.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
You realize they held their opponents of those four wins
to seventeen points or less.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, because his last name is Rush and you.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Rushed the corners rush.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Yeah. And he kept you know, he kept the offense
off the field, you know, yeah, because he was doing
so well as a quarterback.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Yeah, so he did fine. I'm I'm not trying to
like hate. I'm just saying, like, let's let's calm down here.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
I'm just saying he's number two on the depth chart.
Even with this blockbuster trade MVP considerations from some people.
I mean, all it takes is for Dak to go
down and then the MVP races. It's back on.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
And Dak Deak has possibly go down, has had some
injury issues. You know what this does say though, that
the number two competition between Sam Darnold and Trey Lance
must have been such a wipeout.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Yeah, yeah, that they didn't even.
Speaker 6 (26:14):
It wasn't even unless Trey Lance made it to the
point to where it would be awkward if he was
a backup quarterback to Brock Purty. But this feels like
he got dominated in that backup.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Jo, don't let Sam darrg get an opportunity in that offense.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
I'm just telling you he'll he's get a ball out
if he plays in Shanahan's system.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
You've seen a little bit in preseason.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
I'm just telling you, I think he's his skill set
and the style of offense and how Kyle can work around
all that. I'm telling you, man, he'll be really good
in that system. If something happens to Purty or if
he starts to kind of cool off.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Can you guys think of a comp where a team
gave up the amount that they gave up to move
up to draft a guy, and this is what the
end result was a couple of years later. Can you
think of this ever happening in the NFL before, because
I can't think of all the draft capital they gave
up and then to get basically bailed out by the
(27:12):
last pick of the day.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
It was awkward to listening to John Lynch speak about
Trey Lance, like, oh, he just spoke so highly of him. Man,
He's just such a great guy, and you know, it's
just unfortunate that we had to, you know, go this
direction with it. And he talked about how aggressive and
(27:36):
how much Dallas wanted him and giving up that tremendously
large fourth round draft pick to bring them in and
just everything that played a part and him ending up
in Dallas, like it was an opportunity that they just
couldn't pass up with, you know, with Trey Lance. It
just it just made you just start to wonder, Like, honestly,
(27:59):
you know, some people could see it as bad for football.
I actually see it as good.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
I thought it was.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
It was an interesting move, it was an aggressive move,
and it almost seems as though they may have cutting
at the end of of this this off season, like
or at the end of this preseason, that they would
have let him go. I mean, it just seemed like
they weren't even going to hold on to him. And
(28:28):
I think that that's kind of it's such a different time.
I mean, you you tell me, Q, but I almost
feel like when a quarterback of of of that high
of a draft stock ends up with this type of
of fate and their their their original their original landing
place where they got drafted, it just says to me
(28:50):
that the NFL is taking on a more less loyal,
more aggressive approach to what it is that they would
like to achieve.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
One hundred percent, right, one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
I think it's it's never become harder for young quarterbacks
to try to go in and succeed, at least in
the aspect of the expectations are through the roof immediately.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
I mean, we talked about CJ. Stroud earlier being named
the starter.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
If he doesn't look to be the part, there are
going to be people who write him off, which is
incredibly unfair to him, or Bryce Young or Anthony Richardson,
any of the rookie quarterback that's going to start out
the gate, right, I mean, I don't care like who
you are.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
It takes time.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Everyone's got a different learning curve, everyone's in a different
situation and circumstance. And unfortunately we see just so many
people now have the expectation that like they're going to
come in from day one and be able to make
their team a Super Bowl contender, and there's just so
much that goes into it.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
So it's a it's unforse center.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
For Trey Lance, and Jonas did a really good job
of painting the picture of you know, how he performed
in the limited action that he saw. I mean, the
reality is, but he had two starts back in twenty
twenty one, wasn't too bad. He got what two starts
in twenty twenty two last year and and didn't look
(30:23):
as good.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Right.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
One of those was in a monsoon in Chicago, which
if you're going to hold Trey Lance to that standard,
you should probably hold Justin Fields to.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
That standard, like a legitimate MAGI. Yeah, like neither neither
threw well on.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
That at Soldier Field, which is But that's.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
The problem is you have so many nerds who are
like box Score viadeers, like good stats, Like, all right, Nerd,
go back to Monrace, NERD, go watch the tape and
tell me that you were expecting your quarterback to have
a perfect riding after those conditions.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
Nerd.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
By the way, mon Soon on the worst field condition
to the NFL, like a slip.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Slider soldier field.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
So but my point is this is like Nerd, between
him getting injured and then I guess in this second year,
not seeing the progression you'd hope for, which really only
came down to like one start of the two he.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
Had, you kind of look at it and go, all right.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
We've got this other guy who's a lot cheaper, and
we've got Nick Bosa.
Speaker 5 (31:24):
We've got a number of the really good players we'd
like to build around.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
And if we can go ahead and utilize Brock Purty
on his rookie deal, that's a lot cheaper while we
build these other contracts, and if we can find a
backup for relatively cheap, which they did in Sam Darnold,
we're kind of good at moving on. Let's just cut
our losses and move on. We can't change the decision.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
That we made. And again I've said this and I
will continue to say it.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
I still think they're trade up to number three was
it with an entirely different intent. And that's why probably
internally there's not as much pressure or heat the decision
to trade away those draft picks to go to that
spot because I again, I think it was in an
attempt to lure the packers and the trader of Aaron
(32:09):
Rodgers and going up there, and once the Green Bay
deal fell through, they were stuck in that spot of
taking Trey Lance like they did.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
So look, hindsights, what you know, it is what it is.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
But as far as what they what they gave up
to go get him, I mean, they just felt like
they're in a different situation now to go win a
Super Bowl and they've got a guy in Brock pretty
they believe it, So why not allow Trey Lance an
opportunity to go somewhere else where he can continue his career.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
I think that. Look, John Winch is a genuine guy.
I think there's a lot of genuine.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Comments he made about Trey Lance and how he feels
towards him. So look, I'm glad Trey Lance got a
landing spot in Dallas. I do think that's a good
situation for him. He could have been dealt to other places,
and this is a This is a legit one.

Dynasty Exchange on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever
you get your podcasts.
Speaker 6 (34:08):
It should be like what one o'clock in Dublin, Ireland
right now where we're just at. It's that time difference.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
You loved it.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
It's just it's weird because you don't know, you don't
realize start times to games are late until it's not
until the next day that they're being shown, right, Like, yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
So well, I was gonna say, like it was eight
hours obviously for your folks on the West Coast.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
But what was odd was just like you kind of
had to communicate with folks back in the States. Like
you'd wake up and you'd get all the stuff they'd
texted you or emailed you the night before, and then
you'd respond, and then you wouldn't hear from them until
the end of your day, where they'd get back to
you with those responses and then you'd respond and then
(34:56):
you wouldn't communicate again until the following morning. So there's
like two windows of communication with all of civilization in
America while we were over there.
Speaker 6 (35:05):
It's like I texted my wife, like early on the
first show, I sent her a picture and she's like, hey,
it's three thirty in the morning.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
What are you doing and.
Speaker 6 (35:17):
I didn't even because you walk into a bar at
eleven am and people are raging. I mean they're having drinks,
they're you know, tealing was there. They were handing out
you know, whiskey and everything else that came along with it,
and it was just the norm, like everyone just just
hanging out and let's have a drink, and you just forget.
You lose concept of time and place and what everything
(35:40):
is like back home. So it's it's been a little
bit of an adjustment there. But okay, Notre Dame Navy.
Notre Dame did show up. Sam Hartman showed up big time,
the thirty seven year old transfer from Wake Forest.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
No.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
But he looked fantastic. He is climbing the Heisman odds boards.
He is now number three behind Caleb Williams who's at
plus four p fifty who looked great as well too,
and Jane Daniels at LSU and now you've got Sam Harvin.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
They're sitting there.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
I think Zachariah Branch might have stole the show there
at Southern Cow. My god, that kid looks like the
making of like a Reggie Bush. Now he's at wide
receiver for them and he's a true freshman. But I
just watching that kid in that game. I have not
seen a kid that looks like Reggie Bush until Zachariah Branch. Wow,
that's the first kid I've ever seen that. I said,
(36:37):
that's going to be a problem for everyone, Like he
looks like he's just playing at a faster speed than
everyone else that's out there. But no, look, Sam Hartman
was exactly what Notre Dame was hoping. He would be
that steady, calm hand that can handle everything at the
line of scrimmage. Navy at times tried to utilize an
(36:57):
all out blitz blit zero heed. He knew where to
go with the football, he knew what he knew in
the two minute drive march right down the field before
the end of the first half.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
It was all the things that you had hoped for.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
And one of the reasons why I think he skyrocketed
up for the Heisman odds is for starters, he's the
quarterback of Notre Dame. That that's going to help you.
But more importantly is where this team is at. This
team now has been building towards a national title contender.
They've been in the playoffs a couple of times in
recent years. But everyone's kind of question based on the
(37:32):
performance whether or not they're able to compete with the
big dogs. The difference has been quarterback, and they've got
one now that's able to truly utilize the wide receivers
on the outside. Like I'm telling you, they've got They've
got the guys, you know, Jayden Thomas, Deon Colesey are
big bodied targets and they can do some of the
(37:53):
football after it. You know, Jaden Greathhouse, Rico Flores, Chris Tyree,
other guys who are mixing.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
Into have speed to make people miss. Like.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
They've got a nice assortment of weapons at wide receiver
that we really haven't had the ability to tap into
with the quarterbacks that have been there. And so it
opens things up in a big way because you've got
this huge offensive line that wants to mal people with
a two hundred and twenty five pounds back that's got
(38:23):
bad intentions. And by the way, it's a stable of backs.
Janderium Price showed out first. Carrie got a touchdown run
and you're doing it on the list. Jeremiah Love's got
a ton of speed out of the backfield. He got
some burn time too, so it's a dangerous combination. The
only thing coming out of the game that you're really
curious about is the defense because maybe such a unique attack,
(38:43):
you're not going to see if they have a pass
rush or the ability to cover down. And I don't
know that they're going to see if they have the
ability to do that until they play Ohio State, which
is Week four of college football. So that game, though,
I think, you know, was one that look, they should
have won, they should have. Navy's in a really bad
spot right now as a program.
Speaker 5 (39:05):
But it just it's.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
Certified all the things that you had hoped for out
of Sam Hartman and any questions you might have in
regards to Jared Parker as an offensive play caller.
Speaker 5 (39:15):
You know, coming into this one.
Speaker 6 (39:17):
A lot of those early matchups in college football, and
you could see it at the Notre Dame Navy game
just when they lined up at kickoff, like, oh, yeah,
one team's just significantly better, bigger, it looked stronger. Yeah,
they look different athletes.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
And that's the difference of like when we travel around
the country for Big neon kickoff and we see like
the Michigans, the Ohio States last year, Bama Texas like
all these different schools Oklahoma, you get a sense because
you see like the big boys and that, and that's
to me, what makes the biggest difference is when you
it's two things. It's when you have the big boys
up front on both sides of the ball, and then
(39:51):
you have depth, like you're looking at dude who aren't
starting here, going oh, that guy's gonna be good, Like
he's gonna have a shot at the NFL. So it's
it's those two sides of the ball up front, and
then it's the speed, and then you know size and
length on the perimeter and like wide receiver in dB
and and I'll just this isn't hyperbole. This isn't me,
(40:13):
you know, blowing one game out of proportion because because
I've got a measured approach to Navy. Navy's really struggled
by the way in opening games of the season and
in particular plan in Ireland. But this is the best
as far as team speed, size, athleticism that Notre Dame
has had since I can remember. Wow, I mean, as
(40:34):
far as all those things. And it's a credit to
Marcus Freeman. It's a credit to the boys there. The development,
the weight room and all that, but recruiting specifically the
young dudes coming up like they've got some studs, they
really do.
Speaker 6 (40:45):
And like when you're calling that West Virginia penn State
game like this, not like West Virginia is just a
nothing program. It's a Division one program, and it's going
to be obvious how much bigger and faster and stronger
Penn State is in West virgin.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Yeah, but it's a it's a great matchup because of
the familiarity factor. You know West Virginia, you know, they
they borderline Pennsylvania and and it's it's called the backyard
brawl for a reason with them versus pitt They they
fight hard, they're they're they're always going to come in
(41:22):
with a tooth chipping mentality. Like they they try to
play at a at a level, at a high level
that's competitive, and you know that they've always been respected
West Virginia w VU football is a very well respected program.
And even if they're not you know, high up or
tops you know, and and what it you know, ranking wise,
(41:47):
they they always seem to have a ton of talent
on their team. And that's you know, there's always cause
for concern because that's the type of team that's good
enough to win an opening game, and and so you
can't take a game like this lightly, which makes it
a really really cool matchup for Penn State coming right
(42:07):
out of the gate. But I mean people are lathered
up and they are ready to go for this Penn
State season. Man, I tell you, this might be the
most pressure packed season and probably maybe coach Franklin's entire
tenure there. This is like, this is a big one,
(42:28):
this is a big year. So he got to get
one of them. He got a clip at least o
State or Michigan this year. You got to clip one
of them.
Speaker 4 (42:36):
And the tough thing is like Michigan's built to me.
If like you were checking all the boxes for you know,
a team that should win the national championship, you'd have
to say it's Michigan. With everything they have coming back
their soft non conference schedule. You know, the toughest road
test is going to be Penn State at Penn State,
but they get Ohio State coming to their house. I mean,
(42:57):
starting returning quarterback who's a stud, offensive line studs, backfield studs,
experience a wide receiver, not have eleven on defense. I
mean it's it sets up for them to make a
national championship run. And I don't even think they're favored
right now to winning the Big Ten, which is a
bit surprising. Like everyone's kind of just giving Ohio State
(43:17):
the benefit.
Speaker 5 (43:17):
Of the doubt.
Speaker 4 (43:18):
But I would say next to Michigan, a lot of
people should talk more Penn State because of all all
the star players. Like I know, people are like, well, hey,
you got Maya Williams and Tradevon Henderson. Like well, yeah,
but you got like Singleton and Kate tron Allen too,
Like you got you got two beast backs of Penn State.
(43:38):
And let's look at the offensive line, like you're not
going to find a better offensive lineman than yeah, Like
your left tackles arguably be one of the best in
the country. By the way, there's no indecision about who
your starting quarterback is. Higo State's still trying to figure
that out. Defensively too, I mean, when you start matching
up Ohio.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
State, pensatively going to be it's it's it's a rap.
Our secondary we got one of the best secondaries in
the country. Our linebacking corps one of the best linebacking
corps in the country. Our defensive front one of the
best defensive fronts in the country. Like we're we're tops
at every level. Our secondary is sick, no fly zone,
locked down, you like it's and I'm like excited about it.
(44:19):
Like it's been a while since I've been really excited about,
you know, going into a season with our team. But
this is this is one of those years where you say,
this could be a special year. You got theo at
at tight end, big, the big Canadian, I mean, amazing,
you know we've got. And then when you talk about Drew,
(44:39):
Drew Aller is to me, and I continue to say it,
he is the first bona fide franchise quarterback that we've
had since Carry Collins. And we've had some really good quarterbacks.
Darryl Clark was good, Mike Robinson, you know obviously Trace mcsword,
like you know, Cliff and all those guys we've had,
We've had, We've had some good quarterbacks in our past.
Speaker 4 (45:02):
Let me let me kind of not not to clarify,
but let me like say the other way of how
I'd say what you said is he's a guy that
I look at and I say, that's a.
Speaker 5 (45:10):
First round drafted quarterback. Yeah, like you guys haven't had
that no since Carrie Collins. Yes, and you look.
Speaker 4 (45:18):
At him and you're saying, like, you know, he's he's
gonna be a guy we talk about here in two
years ago.
Speaker 5 (45:23):
Yeah, that guy's gonna be being a top ten pick.
Speaker 3 (45:26):
Listen. I always say this, and I love using the
terminology franchise guy because I always say, if you look
at college football, look at where the franchise quarterbacks go
to school, no matter what the era may be. If
if the franchise guys are going to Notre Dame, Notre
Dame's going to win. If the franchise guys are going
(45:46):
to Florida State, Florida State is going to win. If
they're going to USC, usc is going to win. Like
wherever you Texas. If you see a franchise quarterback, a
franchise caliber quarterback out of high school go to a
college chant especially if they get it two three classes
in a row, chances are that team is going to win.
Speaker 6 (46:05):
The fact that Franklin was able to pull him out
of Ohio, where Michigan and Ohio State were both after him,
that's got.
Speaker 3 (46:11):
To be Drew Aller Man. I'm gonna tell you Drew Aller.
You know how the QB making his bold predictions about
like guys like you made his prediction about Caleb and
all those got Liz.
Speaker 5 (46:23):
Long Teller, are you calling your shot right now?
Speaker 2 (46:25):
Drew Aller Heisman Trophy?
Speaker 3 (46:27):
He's that good? Drew Aler is that good? He's that good?
And I haven't I haven't been able to say that
confidently and feel no type.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
Of twenty five to one on DraftKings.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
It's not I don't know that it's a It's not
a bad It wouldn't be a bad.
Speaker 6 (46:44):
Pick because I know Trey Lance is the overwhelming favorite.
But it seems like Trey Lance or not. Why am
I saying Caleb Williams.
Speaker 3 (46:52):
What do I say? Ketch Jesus?
Speaker 6 (46:54):
But it seems like the people that vote want to
do whatever they can to make sure there's not a
back to back winner. They kind of they kind of
you know, slam towards.
Speaker 5 (47:04):
Yeah, because because.
Speaker 4 (47:06):
Again, and we'll see if Caleb can do it. I
think he's got a great shot with the talent they've got.
But the only thing I worry about for Drew Aller
is with two of those backs in the backfield, It's like,
you know, they're gonna they're gonna share.
Speaker 5 (47:20):
Some of the love too.
Speaker 4 (47:21):
Oh, you know, absolutely, that's that's the hardest part is
like with Caleb because of how bad their defense was
last year and him scrambling around making plays and all that,
like it was all him. Like when you watch them,
you're like, Okay, he's like willing their team to win.
Speaker 5 (47:38):
I think they're gonna have so much more balance.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
Because they have a lot of balance.
Speaker 4 (47:42):
Like that might like that might take away from the
appreciation of how good he'll be.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
I think it's going to pay. I think that's going
to pay dividends for him though. I think that balance
and the big ten is going to make the difference
because he's going to make big plays. Sure he might
not have like you like what you're saying. He might
not have the statistical Yeah, he might not have the
statistical showing, but he's going to have to have some
(48:06):
really really big moments for this team to to live
up to an expectation of where you would look at
Drew Aller and be like, man, he's the man.
Speaker 6 (48:15):
So he's six ' five, I'm telling you, he's big bed, Yeah,
good looking, he's.
Speaker 5 (48:21):
Big ben, but he's he's more more refined.
Speaker 3 (48:24):
And he is cool as a cucumber. Man. You meet
the dude, just the cool dude you wouldn't even know
like he's like that. He's the type of dude you'd
be happy if your daughter's dating them. That's the type
of dude he is. Like, he has that type of
way about him. So I'm really excited about it. I
got some time. I got a little bit of time
with him at Avalon the Avalon event we did where
(48:45):
I went a couple of weeks back, and tell you what, man,
he's a super impressive dude, very humble dude, easy to
talk to, has has great feedback, you know, is present.
You know, doesn't have like that kind of standoff or
arrogance about him where you're like, man, dude's kind of
like self absorbed or something like that. You just you
(49:07):
you walk away from him, like that's a guy that
guys are going to follow. You're going to leve him
in the locker room and he's going to come up big.
He's going to play big for you. And I'm I'm
I'm pretty excited about him. Man.
Speaker 6 (49:20):
I mean, listen, Brady, what you're in Minnesota on Thursday?
Thursday and then at TCS Colorado on Saturday's going to be.
Speaker 3 (49:30):
Do a big show. You know you do it is
big show on TV. He does, Hey, he does. He's
the man big time.
Speaker 5 (49:35):
He is just trying to figure out how hot it's
going to be.
Speaker 4 (49:38):
Man, these early games, you get down the South, it's
like over one hundred degrees. You're baking, like sweating profusely.
People look at you like you're.
