Speaker 4 (01:49):
Go go go. How is the orderail? Hey?

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Man? Just just be careful ow here, you know, be patient,
you know the traveling you know, because it's uh, it's
quite quite the ordeal.

Speaker 5 (02:08):
Can I continue to make a case for why Happy
valleties to get a new airport? Man, I don't know what
to tell you. They got to get a new airport.
They got to Man, it can't be that hard. It
can't be that hard to get it out of there.
You've dealt with so many issues there.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
It was Chicago Valley, that is true. We did, we did,
or the origin was University Park Airport. It was, yes,
that's correct. I was looking at homes there, man, Like,
I really like taking it. Seriously, I'm relocate. Yeah, I

(02:46):
don't know why you wouldn't at this point.

Speaker 5 (02:48):
Yeah, we're there so much. Man, if you'd even did
it for the season, it might make sense. No, because
they end early enough where you might get a snow
or two like that change. But at least you get
like a little bit of fall, you know, and that's
that'd be the extent.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
We got the first snow. We were there for it
with our kids, so that was cool.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
And they like it.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah, I mean they they're okay with the weather. I'm
i in my mind because I'm maybe entertaining it a
little bit more than I have in the past. I
feel like I'm a little bit better with it. But
before I just I'm not into cold, man, I don't
I don't want to be cold. And I think that
that's what's holding things up for me. I'm stay hot,

(03:33):
gotta stay hot, Bro. Even though it wasn't really hot
here yesterday, it was like it was very uh normal. Yeah,
we're getting rain soon, so okay.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
Rain season.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah, I don't want it. Don't want the rain.

Speaker 6 (03:47):
I don't want it.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
That's why you saw your friends as funny, oh man, Bro,
I came face to face with pepe le pew this morning.
He didn't hit me. Though he didn't, I forgot.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
You got sprayed by a skunk.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Hey, brouh. He looked at me. I looked at him.
I saw him. He was as big as a badger,
Like you know, he's like a cousin to like the
badger and all that stuff, Like he's in that weasel family.
You freaking weasel. He was a big, healthy ass ready
to spray skunk.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
Wait. So remember when you were do you sleep in
your basement? Like three days?

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Sleep in my basement?

Speaker 7 (04:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Because you smelled like a skunk.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Oh oh, well I didn't. I didn't sleep in my basement,
but I definitely smelled like a skunk. And Styx was
I mean, he was horribly bad. I felt horribly bad
for him. I had to chain him up because he
was so like he was freaking out from the smell.

(04:51):
I had to chain him up to wash him. Like
I usually don't have to like do excessive stuff to
be able to like wash them and brush them and
stuff like that. He was he was so beside himself
that I had to chain him up because he was
like jumping, you know, like how like horses bucking stuff
like he was like the smell was so bad, Bro,
it was bad.

Speaker 7 (05:15):
Up.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah, I don't know about that, but you know I
wouldn't be opposed to it.

Speaker 8 (05:22):
What do you mean by that?

Speaker 3 (05:24):
I would never let nobody change me? Up, man, I
just have trust issues. You you ain't gonna have me
not be able to defend myself. This is my man.
And I saw three big ass raccoons. It was like
it was a nature night.

Speaker 9 (05:41):
Man.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
I don't know what. I don't know, bro, I have nothing.
Maybe I don't know. That skunk was looking at me though,
and I was like too far away to run without
him hitting me because I like it was like I
pulled up to get into my car. He pulls up
like just out of nowhere, like just floated into like

(06:04):
opening where I could see him we're looking at each other.
I knew as long as he was looking at me,
I was safe because just that when they they you know,
spin around, that's when it's a rap. Like he would
have had me at point blank range.

Speaker 7 (06:18):
Bro.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
He really was looking at him like.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
It's gotta be the same one.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
I was like, come on, man, you got this can't
this can't be real.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
That's the same one. And you know why it's the
same one, because he's like.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
This is my property. Now, I marked my turf. Better
get to work.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
Bruh.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
He was big. You should have stepped on the gas.
I did not know that that skunk's got that big.
He was big. It wasn't like he was going to
be an easy win if you pulled up on him
to like go fits the cuffs with him, like you
ain't gonna just flinging across the street like a little
ass skunk get out of here. You know, Like he
was big.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
You know, I wonder too, if you like there's skunk traps,
because it's not like a rat, Like if you catch
a rat, they're just gonna spray until.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
They are deceased. So how do you how do you
catch a skunk? What do you do, you'd probably do
the same thing. Dang, I don't know, and I ain't
had my burner. It wasn't like I could fire back
on him. It was in the car, so I'm like
trying to get to the car. I'm like right there
where it's like I'm behind the door. So it's not

(07:24):
like I could just like open it up and back
in and be like, just please, mister skunk, don't. It
was a very compromising feeling, man. I'll tell you that, Like,
I don't really feel compromised with my feelings too often.
That skunk made me feel compromised as a person man,
And I ain't like the way that made me feel.
But I made it by the way I did make it,

(07:46):
and he did not spray me.

Speaker 6 (07:48):
Interesting, Jonas, I did look up on ways to get
rid of skunks, and it doesn't say trapping is good
at all.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
Yeah, because you're just gonna spray.

Speaker 7 (07:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (07:56):
It says first eliminate food and shelter that could be
in the area and storm them out, and then used
deterrence like motion activated sprinklers, bright lights, and strong scents
from things like citrus peels and ammonia.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
How about a sod off?

Speaker 4 (08:09):
What if you, uh, what if you combatated them with
a bad smell?

Speaker 3 (08:14):
You know, yeah, that's the ammonia.

Speaker 6 (08:16):
They said they don't like citrus peels and ammonia soaked rugs.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
What about they had burners on that list.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
Ar just rips ass.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Like the situation nasty.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
I just don't know that my spring defense mechanism would
be as effective as his. You should bring lever I would,
I would say Lee would. It would be a good matchup.
It'd be a good matchup. I've smelled his work before too,

(08:50):
that's a yeah. Anyway, I made it. I made it unscathed.
So I'm here. We're happy and I don't stink, and
you know you got through the travel woes, which apparently, oh,
I slept all day yesterday. I just had to sleep
it off, like a whole day of traveling literally, So

(09:12):
it was good though. We played a good game. They
tried hard. It's just crazy thinking we might not win
another game. If you would have said this to me
last year, coming out of you know, being one game
away from the national title, that this is where we
would be, I would I would have never believed it.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
But I also don't think you have this dramatic fall
off if James Franklin was still there.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
People could disagree with that.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
I just I don't feel like the season falls apart
if they don't fire Franklin.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
I mean, there's a lot of guys, you know, when
a when a coach gets fired, like like I would
assume at LSU and I could be speaking out a
term because I'm not one of his players, but just
off of the reputation reports that I hear, you know,
those players might band together and be like, you know,
do was a hole. I didn't like them, got a dog,

(10:16):
get them out of here. Let's play for one another
and see what you can do. Like these players love
James James Franklin, like they really truly loved James Franklin
loved James Franklin. So it's been you can tell it's
been a lot of I know it might sound corny,
but like broken hearts man, like you can you can

(10:38):
see that that they're different emotionally. But I will say
I was on the sideline for the U c l
A game. I was, I was there for the Northwestern game.
That I wouldn't be doing my job as an analyst

(10:59):
the right way or as a personality if I wasn't
truthful and from the hip, he did lose that locker
room man like I felt like I felt like he
was stressed out. It seemed like it was impacting him
after the UCLA game, like it had really impacted him.
But watching them walk off of the field after the

(11:22):
U c l A game, I was like, I looked
at Jason Cabenda and I was like, br, something don't
feel right. And he looked at me. He's like, bro,
when you when you bro one another, like more than
three times, it's like you want to say something that's obvious.
I was like, bro, he was they said co Benda
looked at me like bro, and I was like, and
you said bro. And then he looked back at me

(11:45):
and was like bro. All four times it was bad.
It was bad, and there's no way there was no
way of getting around it that it was bad. And
then they go out and they lose the Northwestern That
confirmed the bed and then the bed felt worse. So
you know, I said that day though, like Northwestern's mightily improved.

(12:08):
You know, I know how that optics look and at
home everything. I understand that that's a much improved football team,
Like you know, I'm gonna have the chance to see
him this weekend.

Speaker 5 (12:17):
I saw them versus Oregon. I know what the score
looked like versus Oregon, but it was at times that
they were kind of able to push Orgon around.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
So I don't know. I mean, again, I think the
Big Ten is tougher than people will give it credit.

Speaker 5 (12:29):
I think we're you know, I'd love to look back
in two years and just see kind of where some
of the teams that we don't feel like are. Like, like,
for example, again, like that loss, you can be oh,
they lost Northwestern, It's like, well, yeah, Northwestern's actually kind of.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
A tough out.

Speaker 5 (12:46):
And I know people like laugh at that, but it's like, no,
I watched them enough where they're a physical football team.
He don't bring it like it's gonna be a tough game,
and they've taken other teams and it's been tough games.
I mean, that first half at USC was at last Friday, Dude,
if that picks six holds, they're up twenty one to fourteen,
and I think the entire rest that game probably goes

(13:08):
different and instead it was like a huge dramatic fourteen
point swing, And who knows. I don't know, I'm not
trying to make a case other than saying like I
don't know that firing or coach in the season like that,
you know ever helps, But I will say this help
people understand like what it looks like when you say
you see like lost the locker room, because I think

(13:31):
you hear that a lot, but like a lot of
people don't really understand like what that looks like.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
So so when I I will When the us LA
game was was finishing, you'll see you'll see like a
certain a certain type of movement, a certain type of
interaction amongst one another. You can tell they lost, but
they're like pissed off that they lost. Like you can

(13:58):
see kind of like the in all of their faces.
There was just there was a lot of There was
a lot of blank looks from and and the most
important blank looks were the coaches. The coaches didn't have
like you could tell they didn't have the answer, They
didn't have the answers for why they lost that game.

(14:21):
And then you're watching the players it was like they
were soaking, they were moping. It wasn't there wasn't a
sense of like you didn't even have got you had
one dude, I won't say his name. You had one
dude that was like what the f like, come on, fellas,
like what that? And you had one dude that was
sitting there like telling him like, yo, chill out, man,

(14:41):
like we don't feel like hearing all that raw raw stuff.
And I'm sitting there looking at it like you're a vet.
You're a vet telling this dude that like he's he's
really like he was correct and what he was doing
like I don't why are we like why do we
look like this? So when you say lost the law room,
it just looked like a bunch of lost souls. Man,

(15:03):
That's what it looked like. If you ever if you
ever seen like just think about somebody who's walking away
from you at the saddest moment in time, Like, that's
what it looks like. Every time I see Lee, Dang,
that's where we're at today.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
I'm just every time I see I'm like, man, that's
a lost soul.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
I ain't in that. I'm not in that where I mean,
where is Lee? Got brought him up? Where are you at?

Speaker 4 (15:30):
It's a tumbleweed in the wind, man, a fart in
the wind?

Speaker 3 (15:34):
Oh my god, Jonas you know, Lost and Found haven't
been there. I don't know. You know they're doing, you know,
the the Lorraina Heights.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
And the Lee, the Lee Today's great.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
The Lee Rainer Heights are now bashing us on social media.
I had nothing to do with it. I didn't bring
them up. That was. That was Brady that brought them up.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
That was Let me just and uh, let me just
be very clear.

Speaker 5 (16:12):
I do love Lee, but there is nothing And this
is maybe part of the reason why they've got a
social media following, is you gotta be accountable for your
own actions in life.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
With that and I and we had nothing to do
with that, So that is very true. But the Lorraina
Heights they you know, I guess.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
That's those same people probably never look in the mirror
accountable for their own actions. So sorry if that bothers you, folks.
I just I'm saying I got five kids. I'm gonna
try to raise and make sure they're aways accountable, responsible
for their own actions and decisions in life.

Speaker 4 (16:45):
I think that's a fair way of handling things.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Yeah, so Penn State, man, I tell you, yeah, maybe
next year, maybe next year, soon soon time come. My
baby's like he's ready to like he's you know, he's like, man,
I got these reps on Kickoff, I got and like

(17:12):
such a cool dude. That's that's the win of the
year for you. Like, that's that's worth we happy?

Speaker 4 (17:19):
Can he play? Like, well, how many games can he
play without red shirting?

Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yeah, he's going really it's going to be a red
shirt for him. Okay, I don't don't. I don't want
him to red shirt. It don't matter. We four years.
He's going to graduate in three years. Like, he's on
track to graduates. So let's just see where we're at.
You know, colleges is one of those those type places.
It only takes one year, and it takes one season,

(17:44):
so you know, get get acclimated to what you're going
to do next year, you know, be dominant next year
and then we'll go from there. But he's on track,
like he's not. He's not. He's on time. He'll be
all right. You know, everybody wants people to be instant stars, like, oh,
he's got to if he didn't play as a freshman,
he's not that good. Like it's not. It doesn't work

(18:06):
that way. You know, you gotta trust the process. You
get in there. Some positions are a little bit easier
than others to be in be able to get out
there and do it as as a young guy. But
you know, it doesn't doesn't necessarily work that way, and
it doesn't mean that it wasn't a successful campaign for
guys freshman year if he doesn't play much. It's it's
all about what you're doing behind the scenes and your

(18:29):
preparation hitting towards you know, getting on the field.

Speaker 5 (18:32):

behind the scenes for your behind. Yeah, and that's why

fifteen minutes from now. Stop me if you've heard this before.
AJ Brown's bitching about the Eagles offense. He was on
a Twitch stream.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
It was on a milk carton too, Yeah, missing missing persons.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
And he was kind of venting a little bit about
you know, if I'm on your fantasy team, you know
you should get rid of me if I you know,
I'm just like all kind of half joking but obviously
being serious. And we know his history of letting it
fly when it comes to his displeasure with the offense
and his role in the offense.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
And then you.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Know, of course he was asked about it by the media,
and he did not apologize for his comments on the
twitch screen twitch stream, rather and went on to explain
how he feels about the Eagles offense.

Speaker 8 (22:37):
Because after the game, I said all the right answers,
I still made a story, right, you know that in
that moment where I'm just talking to my friend, having
found with my friend, I'm not apologizing for it, like
like I said, because if you have eyes, you can
see that, and so like it's not that I was
throwing anybody on the bus. I'm literally trying to laugh
through this, but I'm trying to make fun of the

(22:58):
situation and to try to get through it, so you know,
it is what it is. Obviously, I don't want to
win too, you know, and I think if we're we're
really focusing on winning and doing our job, like we
can't just keep slapping the band aid over the defense
doing their job and getting us out of trouble.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
At what point we're gonna pick.

Speaker 8 (23:17):
Up a slack as an offense that we're saying we're
so great, you know, And that's what I'm getting it.
It's not about we're not winning or I don't care
about winning. All I care about his neck steps. No,
it's been a week after week sometimes we're not contributing,
we're not doing our.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
Job on offense. So you can't just keep slapping a
band aid over there.

Speaker 8 (23:33):
And if you expect to win late late in the
year and you think he's gonna go to it at
the end of the year, it's not gonna happen.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
It's not gonna happen. You know last year what it was,
thank you for the ring. But it's a new season.

Speaker 8 (23:41):
They adapted, we have to adapt and we have to
continue to like get better and try to find new ways.
So that's that's where the frustration comes in.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
Because.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
They are seven and two, those Philadelphia Eagles. Yeah, but
he's I gotta he's not wrong. What he's saying is
not I just don't don't feel like he's he's wrong.
I mean, if you look at if you look at
the stats, and I'm trying to pull up Jamar Chase

(24:13):
Jamar Chases, pull up Jamar Chase, but I can only.

Speaker 4 (24:16):
Assume do you think they're on the same level?

Speaker 3 (24:19):
No, I mean well, I mean in terms of I
mean as a player, yeah, yeah, yeah one receivers, Yeah,
absolutely there. I mean Jamar Chases is like, that's an elite, elite,
but a J. Brown's elite, like he's he's top tier,
top tier one one receiver. I mean, I don't even
know if you need to go into numbers anymore about
who's the one and who's not.

Speaker 5 (24:37):
But yeah, I mean he's definitely a one. I guess
I'm just asking, like, do you put I put Jamar
Chase and Justin Jefferson up, there's like maybe the two
best in the NFL. Yeah yeah, but but then we
start talking about other people.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
But I think they are the most elite the names
you just name. But okay, so what like A T.
Higgins and and uh you know, amen ras Saint Brown
like he AJ Brown is not going to be talked
about as a second rate receiving citizen. He is first
class as a receiver and he received the ball two

(25:12):
times and then this game they just played. His best
game of the year came against the Vikings, going up
against the Justin Jefferson receiver team and he got four receptions.
I mean they were you got one hundred and twenty
some yards, which your production was good, so your long

(25:33):
was forty five. But I mean he's only gotten the
ball at what are doing right now? Well, I'm just
what I'm saying is is that I would love to
compare how many receptions does someone like Jamar Chase or
Justin Jefferson get in comparison to two, four, six, five
two he's never gotten the ball more than six times.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
In the game, is basically double his receptions.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
So I would be complaining to I would say this.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
What's been.

Speaker 5 (26:04):
Rather alarming in regards to the stats you're referring to
is since he's gotten to Philly, it has been a
downward trend. Like literally he is has caught for you know,
less yards, less touchdowns every year since he's gotten to
Philly from Tennessee. Now it's a little unfair because like

(26:26):
in twenty twenty four, like last year he missed what
four games something like that, you know, so he went
for over one thousand and thirteen, but you know, who
knows this year he.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
Is on the worst pace.

Speaker 5 (26:38):
It's bad in his entire NFL career four he's only
catching for.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
Like a little over fifty yards a game so far.

Speaker 5 (26:46):
Right, he's a three touchdown it it feels and what's
odd about it is like when they want to turn
on the passing game, it feels like they do when
they can, they go to other times they just they
just don't.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
It's kind of crazy. I don't really get it.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
I thought he was injured. I was watching the Green
Bay game. I was like, man, they could use aj Brown.
Where is he at? Like?

Speaker 2 (27:09):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (27:09):
Then I finally saw him on the field running down
the field. I didn't even think he was in the game.
And for what it's worth, you know, Jalen Hurts falls
under criticism as a quarterback from time to time. Like
from time to time, people choose to put a spotlight
on Jalen Hurts. Is he a great quarterback? Is he

(27:31):
a franchise quarterback? Or is he a game manager? Like
this is a team that is winning, They're having success,
but their offense does not look the same as it
did last year, might not even break a thousand. Saquon
Barkley was the key to this team's success. Saquon Barkley
is not having the type of year this year that

(27:52):
he had that it was a magical year he had
last year.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
Okay, sorry, will if they end up fifteen to two,
do we care?

Speaker 3 (27:58):
I think we care. But because you have to look
at the like you got to try to figure out
why is it that they're fifteen and two? If they
make it to the super Bowl? Why did they make
it to the super Bowl? Like are we going to say,
is the first name out of your mouth going to
be you know, Jalen Hurts. Is that going to be

(28:18):
the first name out of your mouth? I don't know.
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
I'm like, I guess my thought on it is, if
anybody's got a bitch, it's Saquon Barkley. Like he's, I mean,
a shell of himself. And I don't think why would
he be Why would he be complaining exactly? But so
why is aj Brown complaining? I think it's different.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
That's different, Like he's because Saquon's getting his touches. Saquan's
getting his touches. He's just not having the type of
success running the ball that he did last year. He
doesn't Saquan's not really dependent on Jalen Hurts. Getting him
the ball to have a level of success. I think

(28:58):
defenses are just defensing him better than they did last year.
AJ Brown, You're not making it a point. It's not
a priority to get the ball to AJ Brown. You're
not treating him like a franchise receiver should be treated.
Its just is what it is.

Speaker 5 (29:19):
This is the fewest rushing attempts per game Saquan's gotten
since twenty twenty one.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
So the reality is that wasn't either. It falls on
the coaching staff. It's five attempts. It's five less attempts
per game than what he was getting last year. Last year,
he touched the ball more than anyone in the NFL.
This year, I would say he's on pace probably for

(29:53):
twenty percent below that. He had three hundred and seventy
eight touches last year. Well, he is on pace for
a decent amount below. I mean, maybe he's saving all
of them for the playoffs like he did last year.

Speaker 5 (30:05):
Much they have a new offensive coordinator, you know, it
could be a little bit of that too, finding a rhythm,
finding consistency. As a play caller, I always think that
gets understated. It does like it gets understated every single
time we act like a new player caller comes in. Oh,

(30:26):
same players, everything should look the same. No, there's a
rhythm to it, there's a float to it. There's a
way you go about presenting what you're showing defenses and
how you're game planning for him. And some guys are
better than others, and some guys it takes time. So
I think that and the consistent turnover at offensive coordinator
has played as big of a role as anything in

(30:48):
regards to this offense struggling to kind of get going,
and yet they're so damn talented and they're so damn good.
Philly just continues to win. They continue to be one
of the top teams the NFL.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
You know who's getting real fed up with the A. J.
Brown conversation and the complaints next.

Speaker 9 (31:08):
Answering these questions with us, Like he's working hard and
he is a big part of this game plan and
be a big part of the game plan going forward,
and he's working like crazy when he's here, and I'm
excited to have him.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
It's like they've got to answer this multiple times over, like.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Yeah, but that's how it is with some receivers. I
mean it was like that with t O t O,
like and t O wanted to dope his dudes, Like
did they ever do it?

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Wait, Brady does does this make you want to go
to that guy more often? Based on how how many
times has this happened?

Speaker 4 (31:44):
Like I don't know, I don't know him.

Speaker 5 (31:46):
I mean, that's the thing to Lvar's point, they're, you know,
receivers are just emotional guys.

Speaker 4 (31:52):
It's a it's a weird position.

Speaker 5 (31:54):
I think Petros does one of the best jobs of
helping to explain like the personalities of players in football
because he kind of talks about the battle within the battle,
like what LeVar endured being in the trenches every play
is like you might get a guy one time, but
like you can't talk that much because he might get

(32:14):
you the next play, or or someone else might kind
of get you. There's just a lot of game within
the game there. When you're on the perimeter, you could
be doing your job the entire day, blocking your tail off,
running perfect routes and getting open.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
One explosive play.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
Yeah, well it's.

Speaker 5 (32:33):
One explosive play and you know, and then you're happy again, right,
Like it's just it's it's a weird it's a weird deal.
Where you can do your job perfectly and sometimes not
have the performance that you're hoping for. You know, you
could be wide open the ball gets tipped a line
of scrimmage. You know you can There's all sorts of
things that you could. You could be wide. You could
be running right route, doing the right thing, and some

(32:55):
of the receiver runs the wrong route and he's running
into you, and now you're not open anymore. You know,
you can a guy that they're gonna put two guys over,
which isolates someone else with it, DeVante Smith or Segua
whoever else on this offense. And if you're a quarterback,
and I think you'd understand this for most players would
You're gonna work to that one on one matchup and

(33:16):
that could be frustrating. So there's just I don't know him.
I don't know his personality. There's usually receivers are super
seper talented that end up being guys who they want
the ball rightfully. So I go back to the offensive
coordinator because as an offensive coordinator, it's your job to
think playmakers, not plays. And so he's got to do

(33:36):
a better job with Kevin Patulo of getting him the
football and getting him involved in games. You know, there's
things called no brainers where no matter what the defense does,
you'll to a wide receiver screen or jet sweet pass
which probably doesn't really fit what he wants to do,
but just different ways you could even structure it, whether
it's a bunch or formationally or using motion to find

(34:00):
ways of getting him open and getting the ball. And
they're obviously not doing that enough based on the stats
and the stuff we're looking at.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
And again, I think that falls on the O C.

Speaker 5 (34:10):
But it falls on all involved to find a way
of getting the ball to your best players.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
I mean, I was a receiver and oh god, Jonas
Knox definitely wasn't a me guy like I was all
about team like I didn't. Jonas Knox didn't care about
how many targets he got.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
You gotta you gotta feed your your stars.

Speaker 5 (34:29):
Man catch the balls when the quarterback, your quarterback threw
the football way on the sidelines.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
Is that what you're.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
Referring to, No, listen, I was all about making blocks
and you know, making sure that you know other guys
had success. It was always about the other guy, not
Jonas Knox.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
And why do you keep saying your name like that
he is there.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
I mean, that's that's tend to talking passive aggressive.

Speaker 5 (34:51):
So I know you're trying to make a bit about
the fine system. Pal, there's there's You're gonna appeal all
you want. It's not going anywhere.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Legitimate gripe coming up tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
Go ahead, do your whole legitimate you know for radio
gripe and waste you know, we'll waste a segment on it,
and it's not gonna go anywhere.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
I just know that I want to I want to
have fair and balanced judging during the appeal hearing tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
That's what That's what I would like. And unfortunate.

Speaker 4 (35:20):
Life's not fair. You're not gonna get any fair for.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
Judgment out of this is such a bs man. You
at at the record the Eagles are at right now,
you can't confidently say that this should be a team
that you look to win the Super Bowl, to be
a legitimate competitor of winning the Super Bowl with the
type of talent that they have. Everything, if if that

(35:44):
is the production and the output from your two most
most impactful offensive players can happen, Chances it can't. It
won't happen. It won't happen If you do not have
better output from Sakwon Barkley and A J. Brown, you

(36:05):
will not be a super Bowl contending team. You'll be out.
You'll be out of the playoffs. If this is the
trend that they stay on, they will be out of
the playoffs and it might be early. You gotta have production.
You can't. There's no way of getting around that. You
gotta have production from your guys. Are gonna buy?

Speaker 4 (36:24):
Yeah they Okay, Okay, they're gonna get a buy. They
might have home field.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
Okay, who are they gonna win it with?

Speaker 4 (36:33):
Who are they gonna win? What? What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (36:35):
Who are they gonna win the Super Bowl with? Who
are they gonna win it with?

Speaker 7 (36:39):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (36:40):
Yeah, production.

Speaker 5 (36:43):
I'm not writing off Philly just because they're going through
a lolder in the season, like you can make the
case for a bunch of teams.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
I didn't say if they if they're going through a
low I said if they do not buck the trend
of what they're doing right now. If you don't get
more production out of those two guys, it's a rap.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
So we're saying that, but yet they're still winning now.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
Yeah, teams have one during the regular season. I mean,
we've we've had the conversation about again the Steelers. Everybody
references the Steelers. Can you take that into the playoffs?
They obviously couldn't. I don't see I don't see them
being able to do it.

Speaker 4 (37:21):
I don't see the Steelers on the same level.

Speaker 5 (37:22):
As them right now. Well, Steelers, they've won another one
before that. Pitchers even played for one.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
That was a pretty good Steelers team that was at
what were they nine and oh? For like most of
the ten and O. I think they might have hit
ten and oh. I think nine. I think they got
that three years ago.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
I think the twelve they got the twelve twenty season
because they lost to Washington on a Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
They lost. That was their first loss. It was against
five years ago. That was a good team. That was
a really good team defense and you could say this
is a really good defense for the Eagles and that's
what's carrying them right now. It's not their offense.

Speaker 5 (37:59):
Right but they still have like really talented players and
you believe Hurts he's won he's won a super Bowl,
like you believe in that.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
All right, man, I don't buy it. It could it
could be hyped.

Speaker 5 (38:11):
If you're telling me, if he doesn't get in the playoffs,
you don't give them the benefit of the doubt because
they've been there before.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
No, they're going to get into the playoffs. I get that,
and no, no, but no, I don't give them the benefit
of the doubt. If you're not getting the production, you
can't you can't buck the system. You're not going to
get through the playoffs with your two best offensive weapons
with that amount of ocation.

Speaker 5 (38:31):
We say this about the Chiefs, and like the Chiefs
get there and they're like, oh, well, it's Andy Reid
and Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 4 (38:37):
It's like we give them the.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
Benefit of doubt, like one that's like one exception. That's
like one exception. And for what it's worth, if Patrick
Mahomes isn't dealing, who is there their best offensive player,
they're not going to win anything. So Jalen Hurts isn't
their best player. He's not their best player on offense.

(38:59):
It's Saquon in aj Brown.

Speaker 4 (39:01):
Sure, but I don't know that that matters in this case.
I'm saying it is not.

Speaker 5 (39:04):
You can distribute the football. And by the way, he's
outplayed Mahomes and Super Bowls.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
Yes, ye hahs. Everyone I don't have a problem with that,
but he won't out play him in this year Super Bowl.
Not If Saquan and aj Brown don't get on track,
won't be there.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
Well, you can get on track with any home repairs
with Makita tools at the home Depot right. They're belt
with precision without shortcuts, designed for the toughest jobs. Is
the choice for pros when the job calls for the best,
to call on Mikida Bill to be the best available
at the home depot. How pros get more done up. Next,

right now, I'm just focus on the Lakers.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
No further comments. Yeah, does Michael Finley still work for Dallas?

Speaker 4 (41:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (41:55):
I think so. I'm surprised he didn't say, well, is

of my hand. I want to make sure they're all
gone before long. We gotta have a I mean, he
might have just been, you know, feeling like, you know,
not until everybody's gone, will I comment on this took place.
But I do love Dallas. They got me, they got

(42:17):
rid of me though. Now I'm slim. I'm the slim Reaper,
the new one, not Ky. It's me. He does look
