You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome. It
is another Fox Football Saturday, and what a Saturday it is.
You heard Jonas Knox if you were listening before Go
Live with the walk off field goal, the ALIGNI kicking
it to win the game over USC. It was the

(00:23):
line I were in the control of that entire game
in Champagne, and then all of a sudden I looked
up and oh my god, USC had a point lead.
But the A line I survive. I'm Carmen vitally with me.
We have Tracy Sandler. How are you Trace?

Speaker 2 (00:37):
I am good, Carmen, how are you doing?

Speaker 1 (00:40):
I'm good. I have a little bit of a I
guess in like investment in Illinois football just because I
my parents wanted me to go to Illinois. I grew
up outside Chicago and all of my friends, so many
of my friends went there. I did get in, but
I decided to go to Arizona State because I just

(01:00):
thought that would be a lot more fun and I
wouldn't have to deal with snow walking to class.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
And also, you knew you were gonna be able to
say Cam's scataboo. A whole bunch of times.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yeah, I definitely had the had had the foresight on
all of that. I keep trying to make skataboo yeah happen,
and no one seems to be catching on with that.
I'm like, are these kids are they not familiar with
Monster and Kanye West, the old Kanye West lyrics of
I call them malibou. Yeah, So I'm like, oh, I
call them scataboo. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
I like Skeetaboo. Yeah. I like it a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Actually, I know, like every time I tweeted out, people
like don't respond to it, and I really it makes
me sad.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Next time I reet it out, make sure to let
me know, and I Am going to retweet it and
see if we can get it trending, Like let's do this.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Gotta be Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
If anyone if like Monster, if you were not familiar
with the song, jay z uh Nicki Minaj has like
she like obliterates everybody on that song. It's incredible. It's
a great song. It was from my time in college though,
So I'm not necessarily expecting these kids kids these days
to get over there. We got a great show for

(02:04):
you today.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
THO.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
We're gonna talk most of the NFL because it's a
it's shaping up to be an incredible Week four. We
have you know, the Bucks Eagles becoming appointment viewing, which
I love. As someone who worked for the Buccaneers for
six years, I think this is a really good These
are always it's always a fun matchup between those two teams.
We have Jeeves Ravens playing and like, no one's talking
about it because we don't other than like, do we

(02:26):
know if we should be worried about either of those teams.
We've got a Micah Parsons revenge game. You have Rock
Party coming back for the Niner the three and oh
Niners three and oh, and then you got the Bears
trying to get their first road win in Las Vegas,
among many others. Oh and the Colts Colts Ramps, which
is gonna be like the best game of the week.
I can't, I can't.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Okay, tray, So, I want to start with some of
the things we just mentioned off the top. I want
to start with the surprises so far. Now. I want
to set some like expectations here or just maybe like
reel it in a little bit, because we are still
within the first quarter of the season, correct, like the
first four games, first five games. Somehow I think we

(03:49):
forget every year that this time of year is always insane.
There's always things that pop up that you're like, what
where did that come from? Or you know teams that
you're like, oh, should we be worried about them? No?
And then they get it together because it's the beginning
of the season and no one really knows who they
are and they don't know how to play each other.
I always give this spiel of like when coaches are

(04:09):
game planning for other teams, they use around four games
usually to kind of glean any sort of tendencies that
they can pick up or you know, schematic things and
player tells and this that the other They need a
sample size of like four games. And so when you
don't have four games to look at from the current year,
things are always topsy turvy. And I think that's why

(04:33):
you're seeing some surprises. But nevertheless, we're going to go
through some And the first one I want to talk
about is the Ravens and the Chiefs. Well, sitting there
with not great records, they're about to play each other.
Are we actually worried about either of them?

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Well, at the end of this game, somebody is going
to be one and three. So if you had said
before the season serted that that would be the case,
I think that would have been surprising. I definitely think
for me, actually more so on the Ravens, But I
think it would have been surprising either way.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
So I don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Here's what it is.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
It's not so much that I'm worried about their whole
season and how they're going to play and get better.
But as we saw last year with the Bengals, if
one of these teams goes one in three, they're now
in a position where they got to win a whole
lot of football games with almost like very very little
margin freerror, And that I think would be the concern.
It's not that I don't think they're eventually going to

(05:30):
get it together, but is it going to be too late?
And if I had to pick one that I was
more quote unquote worried about, it would be the Chiefs,
which I know is a shocking thing to say, but
it's the truth.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
I mean, look at their division, because I think one
of the other surprises is that the AFC and or
its just isn't shaping up to be what we thought
it was going to be so far. And so the Ravens,
you conceivably, you can think, especially if they do get
it together, they could still even win that division. But
the Chiefs, on the other hand, you have the Chargers
that look great, You have the Broncos that are like,

(06:00):
buy in there and their defense looks as good as ever.
You still don't know what to make of the Raiders.
Quite yet, but I mean with Pete Carroll in charge
and like all this kind of stability and Gino Smith
is doing well despite the fact he doesn't have much
of an offensive line protecting him, but that's nothing new
for him. Like this is a very intriguing division in
the AFC West, and you think, all right, you know,

(06:22):
I don't know, it's is it gonna take eleven, twelve,
thirteen wins to win that division? And if it is,
can the Chiefs get there? At this point? Again, I'm
with you, I'm not ultimately concerned because even the Chiefs
is a wild card even could make a lot of
noise in the postseason because it's just all the experience
they have and like that is kind of like the
last Frontier I guess for them, right, I'm with you,

(06:45):
not worried about most of this long term, especially not
like Lamar Jackson, who is passing the ball incredibly efficiently,
third highest EPA for dropback behind only Jared Goff and
one Daniel Jones. There we will get to you.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Later itself, that could feel like a whole show on
its own.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
It really could, and we know what. We're going to
talk a lot about it. But on a per play basis,
the Ravens have the top three offense. They're remarkably average
on a game by game basis as far as like
yards per game that they're putting up. But Lamar is
averaging ten point one air yards per attempt this season,
which is the longest mark in the NFL and the
longest of his career. So like he is doing really well.

(07:23):
I think that we in this matchup in particular, I'm
very interested to see how he does against this Chiefs defense.
If you want to get little in the weeds, just
how much they play cover two zone because last week
NFL high thirty point eight percent on opponent dropbacks. So
that's something that the Chiefs do very well. That something's

(07:44):
Bags does really well. It's something that Lamar Jackson does
well well against, but he doesn't go against it often.
So he had his face split safety coverage shells on
twenty percent of his dropbacks this season, which is the
lowest rate in the NFL, including only ten percent against
cover two zone. So that is something to watch where

(08:07):
like Lamar hasn't seen a whole lot of it, so
we'll see how he does against Bags and then that
pressure as well, because the Chiefs are like, their defense
is fine. I think SPAGS is fine. They're thirteenth and
pressure rate currently, and I mean fine, literally, they're just
kind of you know, yes, their average they are. They're
blitzing at the eighth highest rate in the league right now,
tenth and epa per drop back aloud. So they're like

(08:29):
flirting with like top ten slash, you know, top half
of the league when it comes to most major metrics,
which is where it's fine to be there right now.
I think that it'll eventually get better because we've seen
Spags like and this is a team that we've just
seen figure it out always, I mean even when you
know they can't. Patrick Mahomes suffered the most drops in

(08:50):
the league by his receivers two years ago when they
won the Super Bowl. So like, I'm not putting anything
past this team at the end of the day.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
That's I think that's fair.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
I think the thing that's kind of been standing out
to me though, it just feels like they're falling apart
a little bit.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
There just seems to be injury wise.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Injury wise, Travis Kelcey and Andy Reid yelling at each
other on the sideline. I know we've seen it before,
but it just feels like a lot of things.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
But listen, it is the Chiefs. It is Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
He is one of the rare x factors where you
just could never count them out. I'm just I'm very
curious to see who wins tomorrow. My gut says Ravens.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
But you know who knows, but my guts I don't either.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
I'm not going to try to predict this game necessarily
because I don't know which way it's going to go.
It is in Kansas City, so.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
It does make a difference. If there's ever a stadium
that makes a difference, it is that one.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
It is Arrowhead. I so like, I don't know. I mean,
I still kind of want to ride with the Chiefs,
even though that means that the Ravens drop to one
and three and like they're coming off back to back
like pretty heartbreaking losses, you know, with especially on Monday night,
Like this is this is the game? What? This is
a three twenty five game. Yeah, in Central time one

(10:06):
twenty five Pacific, But it it's still like in the
window that a lot of people are It's in the
later window where a lot of people are gonna be
watching and then you know the rains. We're just on
Monday night football and got beat by the Lions, who
are fine.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, we're also fine.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
They're fine, they're good. We don't got to worry about them.
I do want to touch on what we talked about
it very briefly there Daniel Jones leading the league in
EPA per drop back.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Daniel Jones does this say to us that the Giants
is just not a good place for players to play?
I mean Saquon Barkley who's obviously incredible but leaves the
Giants and turns into Superman essentially, Daniel Jones Danny, He's
truly Danny Dimes.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Now really really is third that nickname?

Speaker 3 (10:54):
I mean, it goes it goes to a bigger conversation too,
in that people talk a lot about sis some quarterbacks.
Oh he's a product of the system. You know what,
everyone's a product of the system.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
We all are. We are.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
If you find a system that works, you're going to
be successful in it. And perhaps Danny Dimes, which I
now feel totally comfortable calling him, has found his system.
But man, between him and Jonathan Taylor, yeah, they're quite
the duo that team is three and zero.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
There are three and oh, Jonathan Taylor is forcing the
most mistackles in the league on the run. Look, he
looks like the Jonathan Taylor that you know from a
few years ago where he was leading the league in
every major rushing metric. I'm with you with the system, Like, listen,
there are so few quarterbacks that you could just insert

(11:42):
anywhere and then they'd be successful. That is usually not
the case. And like then you're talking like you're literally
talking about this top of the league. You're talking Josh Allen,
but like even maybe not Josh Allen because you look
at how it went in the beginning with the Bills.
It took him a while. I think current Josh Allen
could go anywhere in be sixhole. Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson.

(12:03):
I mean, these are all guys that are just elite,
elite quarterbacks that but like it doesn't mean that, like
you don't have to be in that tier to be
a really damn good quarterback.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Correct, And that's.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
What we're showing. We're seeing from Daniel Jones right now.
Not to mention it. So you talked about Danie Jones
to talk about Jonathan Taylor, The offense is humming. So
is the defense for the Colts. They are stout against
the runs, stingy against the pass. They're top ten in both.
They're allowing eighteen point seven points per game, which is
also top ten and tied with teams like Kansas City
and Minnesota. And I'm like, Okay, this is like a

(12:39):
this is all of a sudden, a very complete team.
Put a woman in charge, Tracy, and see what happens.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Well, I think we've been saying that for a long
time and that seems to be the case, because Wow,
they really really look good.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
It's exciting for them.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
And I mean the Rams look great too. This is
going to be a really really fun I'm so excited
about this because you know, matt Stafford's he seems good.
Like I want to knock on all the wood when
I say that, but like he looks he looks good,
The Rams offense looks good. If I have to isolate
this down to like one matchup, I'm very interest to

(13:16):
see how the Colts defense do against the Rams run
a whole lot of play action. Matthew Stafford used play
action thirty nine percent of his drop backs this season,
which is the second highest rate in the NFL. But
the Colts have allowed one hundred and twelve passing yards,
which is the ninth fewest on teams against. You're using
play action this season, which that's so it's one of
those things like which is gonna win out? Is it

(13:38):
going to be Matthew Stafford and the offense where an
offense he's very familiar with and a scheme that he
is very comfortable in against a Colts defense that I
think is taking a lot of people by surprise. Like
are the Colts this year's Broncos.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Know.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
They might be. They very well might be.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
It's going to be a really fun game to watch,
and exactly for the reason you just that matchup. I
mean that matchup is going to decide the game. So
it's going to be a really fun one.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
I guess the Colts the AFC South is the Colts to.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Lose, like currently, so who would have sunk it? I've
been to it though, I like it.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
I like it too. I mean the Colts fans have
been you know, they went through everything with Anthony Richardson
and like there's just been there's been a whole lot
of heartache. There has to be down there in Indie and
we love Indie. We're going to talk a little bit
more about the Niners being three and ohero and what
Brock Parties return means for them. But we have a

(14:33):
break coming up, and then on the other side of that,
we'll get to some more football talk, some more Week

after Tracy and I are off the air. I want
to get to more of this week four preview in
the NFL because it's shaping up to be a great one,
and I want to go first to the Philadelphia Eagles
and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It has become appointment viewing
when these two teams meet. And Tracy, I have some

(16:56):
great news for Buccaneers fans. What Tristan Wurris is coming back.

Speaker 8 (17:02):
Whooo.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
I actually saw that earlier today, but it is fitting
that you were able to share it with Bucks fans.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
It makes sense if just to give you some context
around this, the Buccaneers are one of only two offenses
or only two teams to have three different offensive line combinations,
so a different front five play at least sixty snaps
this season, so they've been shuffling these guys all around.
You have your center, Graham Barton playing left tackle, you
have Bent and Brettison going in. It's like so many

(17:30):
guys are out of position because Josh Garzard in Tampa,
their OC is just throwing every which combination he can
think of at the wall, trying to make up for
Tristan Worf's loss or absence, I should say, and now
Tristan's coming back. The best left tackle in the league.
Debate a wall, debate your mother. He is the best
left tackle in the league right now. Started as a

(17:52):
right tackle. Only player in NFL history to be All
Pro at both right tackle and left tackle. I could
go on and on. He happens to be a friend
of mine, but that has nothing to do with it
because he's great.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
No, he truly is great all by a society. Truly
is tremendous and the current best left tackle of the
lead I can confirm.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Thank you. I'm gonna get I'm gonna try to be
quick about this. The key to the game for the Bucks,
I think, is just to get to Jalen Hurts. And
it's something that Todd Bowles has been very, very good at.
Uh When these two teams have played each other, He's
not been shy about sending blitzes, and Bowls's blitzed Hurts
on over forty percent of his dropbacks in four of
the last five meetings that these teams have had managed

(18:30):
to pressure Hurts on fifty five point nine percent of
his dropbacks and the only other game and then Hurts
completed forty five of eighty one passes for four hundred
and seven yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions against the
blitz while being pressured across those five meetings combined. So
Hurts his face pressure on twenty six point eight percent
of dropbacks. This is all to say that todd sends

(18:52):
the house against Jalen Hurts and it works. Now, this
is the first time that Jalen Hurt It's really going
to have his full arsenal of weapons available to him.
The last meeting between these two teams. I think in
the regular season, I don't think there was I don't
think AJ Brown was playing. There was a bunch of
guys that were banged up. I don't think Lane Johnson

(19:12):
was in that and then in in that game either
on the offensive line. So I'm but I still think
that if you can get to Jalen Hurts and disrupt
this offense. That way, you can shut them down initially.
And I think for the Eagles, outside of Jalen Hurts,
then I think the key to the game for them
would is getting their running backs out in space and

(19:33):
along the perimeter, because that's something where they have been
very successful when they're able to get their guys out
to the perimeter. However, they've allowed their running backs to
be hit behind the line of scrimmage fifty two point
two percent of their carrieres this season, which is the
seventh highest rate in the NFL. And it's something that
Todd's defense is doing very very well in Tampa as
far as run defense is getting to the back in

(19:55):
the backfield and that you know, stop stops it before
it can start. But if you can get Saquon, if
you can get these guys out into space at the
perimeter of the field, along the sideline, that is where
they can be most dangerous.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
I have one other X factor for the Bucks and
that is Vita Villa seems to be the only man
who can kind of stop the dishbush and I think
there's something to that.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Is elite in so many things up to and including
Aura farming. I don't know if you saw the celebration
last week. This has this has been a celebration that
has evolved over time for the Bucks, the defense as
a whole, like when they get a turnover. They have
done this boat celebration quite a bit. Each year. There's
a different wrinkle added into it. And now the Aura

(20:40):
farming meme has been added into it, and Vita has
perfected the Aura farming dance by the little kid in
Indonesia in the boat racing meme that you've seen going
around Twitter. So I hope to see more of that.
As a Bucks fan myself, however, I do think that
you know, the Eagles a fully helping Eagles team anybody

(21:01):
should be scared of always. I do want to get
to your game coming up yep, yep, the San Francisco Jacksonville.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
For an Uners Jaguars.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Biggest news of the game, of course, is that Brock
Party is coming back and other big forty nine and
fortinitter's news this week is that they lost Nick Bosa
for the season to an ACL injury, which is a huge,
huge blow to the San Francisco team. So it's good
timing with Party coming back because that gives them a
lyft and mac Jones has did well in Party's absence.

(21:33):
Since it's crazy to me that Perty hasn't played since
Week one, but Week one was only a few weeks ago,
and that is just so weird to me.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
But he comes back.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
I think that gives the team a lift. This is
going to be an interesting game. The thing that's going
to be interesting to watch is how do they do
life without Bosa? How does the defense change? Who steps
up and that those are the things that we will
be looking at. They got a lot of young players
who have been doing well. Mikel Williams each week has
gotten better and better, and that's someone they're certainly going

(22:02):
to be looking at. Bryce Huff has been an excellent
signing for them, so that's someone else that they will
be looking at. But they'll also be without CJ. West
on the defensive line, so there's gonna be some shuffling.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
There's going to be some.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Moving around and how do they do that because they
have not had an interception all season, They've not had
a takeaway on the defense as an interceptional season. But
Trevor Lawrence is coming to town, and part of what
reason he throws them is when he's pressured, So how
are they going to do that?

Speaker 1 (22:31):
And he's still like going to know what that pressure
package is going to look like. Nowness is not there,
So that could end up being a sneaky silver lining
at least for this game. It could be it kinners.
And then we can't preview this week without talking about
Michael Parsons going back to Dallas now a member of
the Green Bay Packers. I just you know what, I
don't even necessarily need to preview this because obviously the

(22:53):
chip is on the shoulder. He wants to go back,
he wants to perform. Dallas is ailing, especially along that
offensive line, so it looks very much like the Packers
are going to take this one. But I just want
y'all to listen to what Jerry had to say about
Michael Persons. Jerry Jones had to say about Michael Persons
coming back to Dallas.

Speaker 4 (23:09):
Michael is special, and we all know he is, and
he can be disruptive, but we have huge amounts of
experience with the anecdotes that we've seen used on us
for the last four years. And while he does make
great plays there is also a way to approach playing

(23:32):
against Michael, as we know because we didn't exactly win
the Super Bowler in those years. Bottom line is when
I look at playing him, I think of trying to
have him as an advantage when we were playing other
teams over the last four years, and some plays it
looks beautiful, but then other plays, especially running plays, you

(23:58):
can wish you to have had a from good formation.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Copium at its finest.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Oh, Jerry, never change or please change. It's hard to
say for our sakes.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
Please don't because it adds so much entertainment value. But
good god, I'm so sorry Cowboys fans. And with that,
let's go to the Updates studio with Martin White and

Speaker 1 (26:59):
And now my favorite parts of the show. We get
to bring on guests to talk more about Eagles Bucks
a guy that is a good friend of mine, longtime
Tampa Bay Buccaneers reporter Greg Aman for Fox Sports. How
are you, Greg?

Speaker 8 (27:14):
I'm good, Garvin.

Speaker 10 (27:15):
Good to hear from you. Hope you're doing well.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
I am good to hear from you too. Greg. I'm
so excited about this game because I feel like people
have finally given it the respect it deserves, because when
these two teams meet, it's a lot of fun, at
least from I think a Buccaneers fans standpoint. We Tracy
and I went through some of the keys of the game.
Getting Tristan Worf's back, I think is so huge obviously

(27:37):
for the Buccaneers. What exactly do you expect to happen
now along that offensive front with Tristan back in the lineup.

Speaker 10 (27:45):
I think with worst, they can get a little closer
to normal, at least on the left side of the line. Basically,
his return lets two other guys get back to their
natural positions. If he goes back at left tackle, that
means Graham Barton can be a center again after a
wild three game can here there and Ben Redison gets
to go from center to guard. So the left side
of the line is what you would like it to

(28:06):
be if you will. The right side is still kind
of makeshift. You got Charlie Hexell and then a right tackle,
probably Luke Haggard getting his second NFL game at right guard.
But they'll take three out of five where they're supposed
to be compared to what they've dealt with for the
first three weeks of the season.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
Greg the casual fan looking that this game is coming on,
would probably say, oh, Eagles for sure, But that's truly
not the case for people.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Who are truly paying attention.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
But for the Bucks, this is something Carbon and I
have talked about on the show year after year. There
seems to be a level of disrespect, not believing that
they truly are where they are. Is that a good
thing for them? Do they relish in that or are
they starting to get annoyed by it?

Speaker 10 (28:44):
They do, even at three and zero. They need that
doubt and that criticism, and they thrive on it. There's
the natural chip on their shoulder. They can kind of
manufacture it if they have to. But the idea that
the talk nationally is said, you know, the three teams
that the Buck had beaten are one and eight on
the season, and that Atlanta has kind of imploded and

(29:05):
Houston hasn't looked great. So I think it would be
harder to come up with that kind of motivation if
they win on Sunday, because that's a validating win. That's
beating a Super Bowl champ, if you will. So I
think for them right now, anything that feels like a
flight for a disrespect they're going to welcome just as
added motivation. Even though they've done so much in this series,

(29:27):
they really shouldn't be slighted this week.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
No, and this shouldn't be slighted at all if you
ask me, given the fact that everybody kind of does
this dance of like, well, I don't know, maybe the
Falcons could take the division this year. Meanwhile, it's been
the Bucks Division for the last four years. It's just
it's it's incredible to me. But for this game in particular,
I'm looking at kind of the way that the Bucks
defense has stepped up against the run and gotten I

(29:52):
think more back to what Todd likes to do, which
is stop the run first and going against a team
like the Eagles who are allowing their running backs to
be hit behind the line of scrimmage more than perhaps
they would like, and it's kind of one of those
things that it's stopping before it's really getting started. What
do you see as being the difference when it comes

(30:14):
to the Bucks up front defensively and making sure that
that's still the case in Philadelphia.

Speaker 10 (30:20):
Yeah, they've been really good against the run. I mean,
I mean it surfs with be to bay. Obviously, anything
with him in the rust going to start would be
to inside. But I do think their ends have done
well against the run. They're not they're playing without Elijah Canty,
who would be their next best defensive lineman, Logan Hall
another starter is if he he going practice one day
this week with a groin injury, so they're not at
full strength at all. But I do think for whatever reason,

(30:43):
they they've handled Saquon Barkfi really well, I mean the
first time that say Kuon faced a both defense, he
had eight carries for ten yards his three hundred yards
no touchdowns. I think they have for him, but there
or there'l way and divorce and forced Jalen Hurts to

(31:06):
beat him through the air.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Got it? Yes, Yes, I completely agree. But they're going
to have a J. Brown back, and like from the
last which is different from the last time these two
teams faced off. There, Jalen Hurts is going to have
kind of the full benefit of his arsenal through the
air at the very least. So how how do you
think they fare against this more complete and healthy, more
importantly Eagles team.

Speaker 10 (31:28):
Yeah, I think that's a big difference. If you look
at last week, they're big comeback. I mean at halftime
last week, Jalen Hurts or Jalen Hurts hit AJ Brown
one target, no catches and then kind of remind just
remembered he had him in the second half and he
goes for six catches over one hundred yards, big touchdown
the two games. I mean a J. Brown has won
every time he's played the Bucks, so he's kind of

(31:50):
the exception to this Bucks owning the Eagles type narrative.
Ah Brown his rookie year, has a touchdown the fourth
quarter to beat the Bucks back when he's with a
the Titans, and then had a big game the only
other time the Eagles have beaten the box under Nick Sirianni.
AJ Brown's a big part of there too. So I
do think that's a big asterisk to put on how

(32:11):
well they played last year?

Speaker 5 (32:13):
Is it?

Speaker 10 (32:13):
Jalen Hurs didn't have his top targets there, so I
think that changes things. It makes us a big game
for Zion McCollum. He's a guy that you know watched
the Eagles throughout the playoff last year because his twin
brother was on the team. He knows his Eagles team
as well. But he'll probably be cashed with trying to
handle keeping up with AJ Brown and limiting the impact
homemake on Sunday.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
I love the idea that at halftime Jalen Hurts looked
over and was like, Oh, I got a J Brown's
on this team right total, that's amazing, Okay, I'll throw
it to him now. One thing that I was looking
at when I was look at this game. Of course,
you can't talk about the Eagles without talking about the
Toush plush, even though I know everyone's kind of sick
of talking about it. But you mentioned Vi deevea earlier.
He's somebody who's actually been helpful against the toushblush. Is

(32:55):
this something that they're focus on? Are they over talking
about it?

Speaker 2 (32:59):
Are they like, just is what it is and we're
gonna either stop it or we're not.

Speaker 10 (33:03):
Yeah, I mean they've actually stopped the toustbush. They had
a third down stop against the Toush push. I guess
this is there. You go two games ago and it's
one of those where I mean the thinking about the
toast pushes. If you stop it on third and one,
it's there, and fourth and one again ended up getting
them there. So yeah, it'll be a big point of things.
I mean, they have it has some options in terms
of defensive linement. They just added a kidnamed Isaiah Simmons

(33:24):
who's six one three forty five, who's a guy that
again strong stout linus, scrimmage, run stopper. He's a guy
that again when they get to that package, whether it's
four or five plays or how often it comes up
on Sunday, he'll probably be in there for that they
go to a they have a goal line kind of
package they can put anywhere on the field where it's
for D linemen. I mean, and they're trotten nowut I

(33:45):
mean sometimes they only have four D linemen dressed in
the game. They'll put them all on the field, even
in midfield, to try and stop that. It'll be you know,
there's it's not just a game about the toast push.
But this is a game where you know, you know,
you'll have four or five times during the game where
it comes up.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
Ten years ago, if I told you were going to
come on the radio and say, this.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Is a game it's just about the touchfush, I would
have loved to know your answer of.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
Greg, are you just having so much fun with Baker
Mayfield not only just watching him, but him in the
press conference room, because that that man is saying something
hysterical every single week.

Speaker 10 (34:19):
He really is. It's one of those where it's, uh,
I don't even know that he was that restrained his
first year or two, but he's kind of come into
a comfort level on the podium where he's he's going
to say what he wants. You know, I had some
podcasts where he's on this week and he's talking about
Rex Ryan's Veniers, you name it. I mean, I think
he's again. I think he's a complidicate to begin with,
and I think he's gotten a little more comfortable behind

(34:41):
the microphone where Yeah, it's one of those where you know,
he was never all that buttoned up, Don't get me wrong,
but no Wednesday afternoons is definitely a fun thing to
get him for ten minutes and just see what he's
going to say and.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
See what he's going to do on the field. He's
going to have Chris Godwin back for this game. What
do you expect from Chris, especially with Mike Evin out.

Speaker 10 (35:01):
Yeah, first game back, it's kind of hard to know
how how quickly he'll be Chris again. You know, he
was playing so well for seven games before his injury
last year, one of the best in the league, but
has n't played in eleven months. So that first game back,
you wonder if he's going to be back to full strength.
A Mecca Buka. This is a huge game for him. Honestly,
I think it's a big game for Sterling Shepherd. He's
the guy that knows the Eagles well. I think he

(35:22):
has five touchdowns in his career against the Eagles. I
think Defonte Adams is the only guy in the NFL
with more active career touchdowns against the Eagles than Sterling Shepherd,
so I think he'll be really involved. Obviously, he and
Baker have a connection that goes all the way back
to college, so they kind of know where the other
guy is going to be on the field and have
had a lot of comfort, you know, and key downs,
third downs finding him and moving the change so far

(35:44):
this season.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
Greg, I really appreciate you coming on. Have so much
fun with this game with Baker Mayfield Ala Chris right
the rest of the season.

Speaker 10 (35:53):
Anytime. Good to hear from you. You're doing well, all right?

Speaker 1 (35:55):
That was Greg Allman of Fox Sports. On the other
side of this, we're going to the dudes and that
don't for this week. Stay tuned. You're listening to Fox

Hello and welcome back to Fox Football Saturday. I'm common Vitally.
That's Tracy Sandler. We've got Patrick's We got on our
in the booth as producer. We've got Chris Burfett, I
assume controlling the music.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
Patrick is really rocking out right now, and I wish
that you could see.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
It because it's so maybe this was Patrick because he is.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
I mean, this is he is vibing.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
So it's it's Chris, but it's Patrick vibeing. Can't forget
Martin Weiss over there in the update booth. We're having
a boatload of fun. Uh we're I mean, Week four
is gonna be great in the NFL. I think we're
gonna get a lot of answers to maybe some burning
questions that we've had so far this season, as there
as we always do. You know, the beginning of the
season is just weird. Trace it is.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
It's just it's just weird. Right four games, that's where
we really start to know some teams.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
That's where we really start to know some teams. But
you know what else can get weird? What dudes and
the don'ts of the week?

Speaker 5 (37:16):
Highlight that putting a spotlight on the.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Don't the subject brings me no joy.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
Don't that that's insane.

Speaker 5 (37:24):
It's time for the dues and the don'ts.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
In sports. All right, Ray, I'm gonna start u off
because I think you're gonna like this one, or at
least you're gonna want to talk about it. Don't say
sign stealing no matter what. Please stop. Robert Sala got
to the podium this week talked about how I guess
the according to him, the entire McVeigh coaching tree, Uh,

(37:47):
gets like it has some sort of system for legal
signce stealing. Like he went out of his way to
say it was legal. But I was like, yeah, I
mean every team sends advanced scouts to eat like their
upcoming opponents games that week, and like they try to
pick up as much as they possibly can. Uh. And

(38:07):
I had a you know, this week's in Jacksonville and
he's saying that like Liam Cohen and his staff, some
of which have come from that tree. Uh, like no
more than other people. As far as I don't, I
don't know. And then Kyle Shanahan got out there and
was like he shouldn't have said that.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
He said he was, but he said he was trying
to give them a compliment.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
Was right. He was like it was a it was
a weird way of like going about it. And like
when you say sign stealing, people are gonna like their
ears are gonna perk up, and they're gonna think about
this that the other And I'm just like Robert Salad,
please stop, do not say sign stealing. That's not what
they're doing. This is something that everybody in the NFL does,
and that it's something that Kyle Shanahan that had to
go out there and do some damage control. It was.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
It was triggering.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
I unfortunately had a terrible flu this week so was
not at practice and was not there for that press conference,
which may have been for the best because I think
if he said it, I might have, like I did,
I would have been triggered for reasons that we don't.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Have to go into, of course, But I think I.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
Have nothing to do with the fact that Crewersey from
Little Bushki.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
Well where a young man went rogue.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
But I, uh, that's just as I like to say,
the young man went rogue.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
But I might have been like slightly triggered.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
But you gotta tell yourself choice.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Young man went rogue. That's what happens. That sometimes it happens.
But uh, yeah, that one that was a fun one.
That was a fun one.

Speaker 3 (39:25):
And then I liked Kyle shannon answer response he was
trying to give him a compliment, which I do think.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
He was trying to do.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
But you're right the words you say, the word sign stealing,
and it's like, uh, just radar goes off everywhere. So
that's that's totally fair. I have a D that I
believe Lane Kiffen would think is a don't.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
But do we have the same one? Okay? Do we? Oh?

Speaker 3 (39:49):
We will probably probably Lane Kiffin's daughter, well, Lane Kiffin
coach of Old Miss. They're playing l s U as
we speak, Lane Kiffin's daughter dating I think a linebacker
linebacker Wit Weeks, yes, yes, line badger, yes, yeah, a
Honkey Badger, a Honky Badger, which really excellent nickname. Dating
him kind of hard launches their relationship this week on

(40:12):
Instagram Game Week, and you know, I kind of have.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
To say just I mean, I kind of loved it.
I thought it was funny.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
Somebody is playing mind games somebody I don't know. I
don't know if it's his, I don't know if it's
Landry Kiffen, his daughter. I don't know if it's Lane,
I don't know if it's Wit. Like I I feel
like it's not well. Wit is Wit is one of
three weeks brothers on this LSU team, by the way,
so they're a football family. I don't know, I mean,

(40:40):
and it could have just been something as simple as whipping,
like hey baby, you know what would be funny maybe
and like them doing that. But my particular do in
this scenario was do take the over, like Lane Kiffin said,
because he responded on Twitter to somebody saying this is
diabolical and being take the over. And I mean, right now,

(41:03):
that's probably not good because it's only seven to three,
but just a plus trolling across all accounts. I don't
care who's playing mind games. Somebody's playing mind games. This
is the SEC. It just means more so does this show.
This so just means more So. We're back with another
hour or two right after this. You're listening to Fox
Football Saturday. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome back in for hour two

(41:28):
of our show on Fox Football Saturday. Martin you forgot
Martin Wise forgot to mention Northwestern up on UCLA at halftime.
I just want to say, go Cats. I'm Krime vitally,
that's Tracy Sandler. We're having fun. I'm having fun. I
don't have a lot of like bragging rights when it

(41:48):
comes to Northwestern. So the fact that Northwestern is up
on UCLA, I very much appreciate it. And my Arizona
State sunuble's let one last night in thrilling fashion should
not have been that thrilling. But we call McCarty devils.
It's fine, And I mean, actually the Northwestern is called
the cardiac cats too, So I just I should be
on blood pressure medicines just for my teams alone, although

(42:11):
like I didn't, I didn't really care a lot about these,
you know, like football in general, like from like I'm
marrying into the LSU fan base and it's true, like
the SEC just means more because like my teams were
never relevant, but now Arizona State is like flirting with
relevance and especially after last year, and now I'm like,
this is what real football is like, this is welcome
is horrendous, you.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
Know, welcome, Welcome to theas.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
Is new to me, trace, it's new to me.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
If you need tips for lower your blood pressure, for
how to deal with superstitions, what works, what doesn't I've
got you.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
I don't even have superstitions right now. Well, I'll tell
you that during that Texas game last year in the playoffs,
I was like changing positions on the couch. I was,
I was behind the couch, like white knuckling the back
of the couch, just like, oh my god, like staring
at the TV. It was. It was. It was horrendous.
I want to talk about something else. That's kind of horrendous,

(43:12):
New York Giants.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
I didn't There were so many ways you could have
gone to start the conversation that I liked that you
went New York Giants.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
I had other thoughts, but.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
There's a lot of ways to go go with that, right,
Oh god. So the New York Giants like, I'm I'm sorry,
Giants fans. That's like, that's that's all I have to say,
because you haven't fielded a product that is worthy of
y'all in a very very long time. And now they

(43:43):
have bench Strussell Wilson in favor of Jackson Dart. Oh
missus Jackson Dart in fact, full circle, and like, I'm
I'm nervous, and I'm nervous for a very specific reason
for Jackson in particular. Clearly, I think that this is

(44:04):
kind of the effort by Joe Shane Brian's abel to
save their jobs, or at the very least, I think
this is Brian Dable being like, Hey, if I'm gonna
go out, I'm gonna go out after I made I
made a decision. I'm gonna go out on my terms.
I'm gonna go out in the way that like, this
was my decision. And if it's gonna, you know, drown me.

(44:26):
If I'm gonna go out, it's gonna because of something
I did. And we're like, yeah, stable, we know. But
this poor kid in Jackson Dart is going out there
with the weight of this franchise on his shoulders behind
a line that is not not good now, especially with
you know, Andrew Thomas injured. Two of the three offensive

(44:48):
linemen that have allowed the highest pressure rates this season
with a minimum of fifty pass blocks league wide, our
Giants left tackles James Hudson and Marcus mbau.

Speaker 3 (44:58):
Well, you know what, it's really important to excel at something.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
You're their top three and something. They are two top
three and something.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
So I think that's there's something to be said. Jackson
Dart might feel differently when he is running for his life, but.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
I mean he's athletics, So so he has that he's
got that goal. For me, he's gonna need every bit
of athleticism behind this line. Mbou allowed a thirty three
point three percent pressure rate in Week three against the Chiefs,
which is seven percentage points higher than any other lineman
with at least twenty pass blocks in a game this year.
Thomas played on a pitch count in rotation with Mbow

(45:35):
in Week three, but there and he's not allowing a
pressure on his eleven pass blocks. So like, if they
get Andrew Thomas back on a more full time role,
I mean, okay, but this is this is concerning when
you're starting a rookie. It's just it's not a great
situation to throw someone out there in this is But
this is how I felt about Drake May and the
New England Patriots last year, because that Patriots offensive line

(45:57):
was horrendous and I was like, you're gonna get him killed. Lo,
Drake May, don't do it, and it turned out it
worked out for the better. But I mean that this
is happening a little bit sooner and for different reasons,
so I'm worried.

Speaker 3 (46:11):
Well, and it it kind of goes to an even
bigger discussion of what we and I say we, but
maybe with the NFL, but we, the media, the fans,
NFL due to these young quarterbacks and put them in
these positions to quote unquote save the franchise while doing
nothing else to save the franchise.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
And and there's.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
A lack of patience. And you know, Jackson Darte, he
may come in tomorrow or yet tomorrow. He may come
in tomorrow, get love, even though I do realize we're
doing Fox Football Saturday right now.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
But he may come in.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
He may be great, but he may not be And
it doesn't mean he's a bust. He may need a
few weeks, he may need a year. It's it's just players.
They're not being developed because there's this lack of patience now.
And most guys don't come in unless they come into
situations with really great offensive life and really good weapons
and all of that. But even those guys need some

(47:05):
patience and need to learn the difference between college and
the NFL. And so that's part of my fear for
Jackson Dart too, is that if it is a rough
start that it becomes well, then he's a total bus
So now what are we gonna do at quarterback.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
Like then he goes to Indianapolis and he becomes Daniel Jones.

Speaker 3 (47:20):
And that is maybe exactly, maybe that's the trajectory. Maybe
that's like the NFL's quarterback development program. You go to
the Giants, it doesn't go well.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
We've got specifically the Giants, and then we.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
Look at Sam Darnold it's a good point, or the Jets,
and then there are two places you can send them.
We'll send you to Indy to be a starting quarterback
and you're gonna be great, Or we'll send you to
San Francisco where you could be rock perties back up
and learn and resurrect your career and then sign a
big contract the next season. Those are the options. That's
basically the NFL's quarterback development program going forward.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
You're welcome. I mean, like that's and it's it's funny
because we do see this happens specifically with the Giants,
specifically with like the Jets, where they pick these guys
out of college who are great, and they're like, there
doesn't seem to be an issue with the talent evaluating
portion of this is what I'm kind of getting at.
And then but if there's something there's there's a breakdown

(48:16):
there of the development of these guys and and the
situations they're being put into. And I mean with the Giants,
like their defense is still breaking pretty good and they
have a lot of talent along that defensive front. It
looks downright scaries at times, and like you're like, okay,
Like that's a good start for a young quarterback, Like

(48:38):
get get a good defense in there that can limit
the amount of points that you know, he has to
go score, you know, to win a game. And but like,
I don't know, there's just this breakdown in so many
organizations of the actual development of the quarterback and the
environment that they're being put into. Whereas places like this
is why I have so much faith in JJ McCarthy.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
Talking about something important.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
It's not because he went to Michigan, but it's because
of not only is he being put in a situation
with a known quarterback developer in Kevin O'Connell, but part
of that development is the team around him. And they
remade the entire offensive line interier of the offensive line
there in Minnesota this offseason and anticipation of j J
McCarthy being their starter. That defense is is you want

(49:24):
to talk about scary defense, that's scary defense, and then
you have all of this talent as far as like
offensive arsenal how I just sounded like I was from
New York.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
There it's all the giants stock, but.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
Like I know legitimately, but like that is that is
like actually setting up a quarterback for success, That is
actually putting in the work to develop a quarterback that
is not going out there and expecting this twenty twenty
one year old, twenty two year old kid to save
your franchise, to save your job with nothing else really

(49:58):
around him. And I mean like he's got Melik neighbors.
Jackson Dart has Melik neighbors in New York. And that
obviously was an excellent pick. And that is what you want.
You want to arm your quarterback with somebody that they
can trust down the field, but they don't have a
great running game to speak of, they trade it away.
Sae Kwon Barkley Like That's where I'm like, why would

(50:22):
you do that? Why would you do that when you
don't have an answer at quarterback? Why would you actively
make it harder on whoever comes in there, and even
if it is a veteran like it was Russell Wilson,
and so it's very interesting to me that there are
so many teams that are just they don't get the
evaluation wrong. And we see that when these guys go
different places and end up being successful. But it's the

(50:45):
actual development part and there's so many pieces to that.
But like speaking of Russ though, I want to talk about.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
Him a little bit, cauld, I say one thing really quick.
I just want on this subject. And I think even
with JJ McCarthy, with all of that stuff, he still
is going to need some time to develop and learn.
And y Vikings fans who thought he was the greatest
quarterback in the entire world for a quarter now are
ready to just be like, forget it. It's a boss
Carson Wentz forever. And they do need time to develop

(51:12):
even with all of that. And if you're especially if
you're gonna build a franchise quarterback, so we're gonna have
to learn some patience in this world.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
I know that that's a tall task, but it is.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
A tall task. That was it?

Speaker 2 (51:23):
Sorry back to Rosy, that was an important point.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
I want to just touch real quick on Russ because
do we do we think his do we think this
is it? Do we think this is over? I mean
talk about patients. I mean Richard Sherman seems to hope
that Russ's career is over.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
He does us.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
He said on the broadcast on Thursday night about how
Russell Wilson has essentially played him out himself out of
the Hall of Fame by being not a great quarterback
towards the end of his career. But like twenty fifteen
to twenty twenty, Russ was fun. He was from twenty
twelve to twenty twenty one. Russ only missed the Pro
Bowl once, and like he led the league and quarterback

(51:59):
rating into twenty fifteen, he led the league in touchdowns
in twenty seventeen. I mean, I'm not necessarily advocating for
a Hall of Fame here, but like, ah, we're getting
a little carried away. I think we have a lot
of recency bias when it comes to Russ. But I
do agree that it's probably this is probably the end.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
Well, and I'm I'm going to be honest with you.
I thought it was it in Denver. I mean I
covered the forty nine Ers Broncos game, which was I
think ten to nine was the final score and he
looked terrible. And he looked terrible that whole year, and
it felt to me like, you know what this is
It like, you've had.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
An incredible career. Maybe maybe it's time.

Speaker 3 (52:36):
And I know that that's a really hard thing to do,
but it just feels like it never really got better.
He just kept getting chances because of what he had
done before, which I understand, but to me, it was over.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
Then in twenty twenty.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
Two he was on the Broncos I was like, this
feels to me like it's done. So, you know, I think,
you know, Richard Sherman has made it clear maybe Russ
is not his most favorite, but yeah, I don't know
if he's played himself out of the Hall of Fame.
I have a good little anecdote for you on that.
By the way, when Richard Sherman was on the forty
nine Ers and the first time they were playing the

(53:11):
Seahawks at Richard Sherman was asked, what's your relationship like
with Russell Wilson, And without skipping a beat, he said,
I don't have a relationship with Russell Wilson.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
We were teammates.

Speaker 1 (53:22):
Yeah, so that I think that is much more common
than I think a lot of people think.

Speaker 2 (53:27):
Yes, that is.

Speaker 1 (53:28):
I think it's just because I mean in the same
way that like anybody that goes to an office every day,
or you know, is not even working from home, you're
not necessarily friends with all your coworkers.

Speaker 3 (53:38):
No, correct, But yeah, I don't know if he's played
himself out of the Hall of fame. But it's the
problem with recency bias. Is what everybody's remembering are these
last few years, and they have not been great.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
No, And you know, it's kind of one of those things,
w quit while you're not ahead. I don't know, you've
had You've had a good career. We can we can
reminisce and look back on twenty fifteen to twenty and
twenty USS and remember ed finally.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
Yeah, there's something to be said about going out on top.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
There is, which is really an option for him at
this point. But anyway, coming up on the other side
of this, we're gonna talk some international game intrigue. You're
listening to Fox Football Saturday. Welcome back in to Fox

Speaker 1 (55:11):
I love when things like that happen. Like we're we
were to peel back the curtain a hot second. We
weren't actually supposed to do those reads back to back.
I was supposed to do that the last three last segment. Oops,
but like when we put them together, it worked so well.
It did when comes together, I do too. Yeah, go
go get the iHeartRadio app act like it's you know

(55:32):
in the nineties, early two thousands, and you can set
a preset and you know, click it and feel something. Anyway,
speaking of feeling something, I am feeling all sorts of
jealousy and the whatever for all of my friends that
I've seen that have made the trip over the pond

(55:53):
to Dublin, Ireland, where the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Minnesota
Vikings will be playing their now game tomorrow. I actually
just went to Dublin for the first time last year.
Incredible city, incredible and I've actually been on multiple podcasts
now NFL podcasts in Ireland. Uh, there's a huge NFL

(56:16):
contingent I feel like in Ireland that is growing even
in higher like faster than the rate that it's growing
in like in England and in the UK, like it's
but it is like it's just this sport is blossoming
over there. It's funny. I have family outside London and
they tell me all the time, like they'll they'll check
in with me, like during the week during Sundays being like, oh,

(56:39):
like they're they're watching and I'm just like, what time
is it there? But there, I love I love what
the NFL is doing in like I'm of the opinion
that they should bring NFL Europe back. I loved it,
like NFL euro like just put teams over there or
put like I I think that there is now especially

(57:02):
a lot more support for it, and I think that
it could do really really well.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
Oh I think I think that's not it. That's not
a bad idea.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
And I wonder if you'd be able to do something
to incentivize some of the stars here to play there.
I don't know how that would work, an I.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
Don't know about like moving a team over there.

Speaker 3 (57:20):
Like no, I don't mean that, but I just know
if you could get like a you know, not this
but like okay, well Christian mccaffreys decided he's going to
go play in London now, like I'm not that, but
I don't know. It does it doesn't interesting. There's certainly
a market for it, as you said.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
There is. I mean there's six total international games I
believe this year, and the NFL kind of keeps adding
to that number and they're all over the world at
this point. We obviously had the season opener in Brazil
for the like not the season over, but the Friday
season opener for the for that, and then we have Dublin.
Now Dublin, this is the first game in Dublin that

(57:57):
the stadium looks incredible. I mean, like these soccer stadiums,
rugby stadiums like that these guys are playing in like
they're just they're incredible.

Speaker 2 (58:06):
They are They're insane, they really are. They're beautiful stadium.

Speaker 1 (58:11):
And then you've got games in London, you have games
in Germany, and I just like, I have so much
respect for like that fan base because and the fact
that they can be supported over there, because again they're
not on. It would like they're not on at a

(58:34):
really good time for anybody over there, like our games aren't,
so to keep track and for all of these people
to show up, many of whom are local to these games.
And then I mean, what I find really interesting is
how NFL teams are choosing to handle going over there.
And some of them do it like a week ahead
of time. Some of them do it getting there on Friday,

(58:56):
Like the Vikings just got there on Friday, I believe.
And I've been a part of a London trip when
I was working for the Buccaneers as a part of
the team. I was their team reporter and we went
over to London and Bruce Arians was the coach at
the time. He had done it with the Cardinals and
they had spent the whole week out there. Apparently he
hated it, so he was like, no, we're not doing that.

(59:19):
We're just going to go out on Friday. So we
left Thursday evening from Tampa, flew to London, and we
got there at like seven eight o'clock in the morning
I believe London time. Okay, we had to be on
a rugby practice field, which was also really cold that day,
so complete departure from Tampa, and we had to be

(59:43):
out there I think by noon, so you had like
an hour or two to really get settled in once
we had gotten to the hotel. This that the other
I cannot explain to you how tired I was trying
to adjust to that, and I don't know how these
players do it well.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
And I think the Vikings went straight to their practice
facility to I think they said get the blood flowing,
so they like went. I don't know that they settled
at their fa I think what I could I totally
could have this wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
So but I think that they went.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
And it's possible that when when I read went straight
to a practic facility, that meant went to the hotel
and then went straight to the practicility. But it's interesting
with the Vikings because they play London next week, right,
so I think they're going to spend obviously the whole week,
the whole wonder if that factored in that we don't
want to take them out of their homes for two weeks.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
It's interesting, but it definitely feels like it'd be exhausting.
As someone who has traveled to Europe. Jet lag is
you know, real, there's ways to counteract if there's but
it's hard and class app yeah, and it's but football
also hard in your body. So that's two things that
are very hard in your body in a couple of days.
So it's interesting. When did the Steelers go?

Speaker 8 (01:00:58):
Do you know?

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
I think they may did you did around the same time.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
Yeah, I think they did. I think it's like as
I think teams want as little disruption as possible, But
I think the Vikings are going to be very interesting
because they are basically going to get a This is
going to be a test of like, all right, how
do they do against the Steelers this week versus how
do they do next week after being there and allowing
themselves to settle in and get adjusted to the time

(01:01:22):
and then play a game. I'm gonna be very interested
to see, because, like I from what happened when I
was with the Bucks, I remember I did. I think
I did a story about it where I went to
our sports science staff and they had all of these
things that they had done, and they had researched and

(01:01:44):
like just about sleeping patterns, and like the guys were
put on a melatonin regiment like leading up to that trip,
so like they were they were like their sleep schedules
were adjusted in advance of actually flying out there. They
were instructed as to exactly when, like literally by the hour.
Everything was structured of like this is when you should eat,

(01:02:06):
this is when you should sleep, this is when you
should like take a shower, get your blood flowing, like
this is when you should work out. This is what
like it was, and it was backed by so much
different research, and I just think that it's this is
this is what is going to have to like be
I think once they figure out which is the best

(01:02:28):
way or how this actually affects guys, and I cause
you see these games too and they're just like I
think there were seven interceptions in the game that we
played against the Panthers that like James Winzda, I think
through five. Yeah, I mean that was the Jamis experience.
That was the thirty for thirty, that was the thirty

(01:02:48):
and thirty year. But I think once they figure out
what is actually best practice when it comes to this schedule,
like I don't know, I think it would be very
interesting to entertain a team over in London or if
it's like an NFL Europe thing and then that becomes
like in hockey for instance, like if you're done playing
in the NHL, you'll go play elsewhere in the world.

Speaker 3 (01:03:11):
Or the idea of that is like truly amazing. Because
the NFL Stars retired and I'm going to France, I'm
going to going.

Speaker 1 (01:03:18):
To Italy just kidd hang, I mean, like, but like,
what an incredible quasi retirement.

Speaker 2 (01:03:22):
It'd be amazing. I would be happy to go cover
that team in France.

Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
Italy. Oh, then the second they put an NFL team
over there, if they if, and when they do, sign
me up to go cover them. Sign me up. I
am top of the list.

Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
Please, it's fair.

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
I will be there tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
I think that's fair. I love that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
It's so funny. My god. All right, well, let's go
see what's happening around this country in college football with
Martin Wise.

Speaker 9 (01:03:52):
You know, when I was in France this summer, we
actually had a big conversation about college football.

Speaker 8 (01:03:56):
With some people from Romania.

Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
Really into it.

Speaker 8 (01:04:00):
Oh and I told them what a sentence Martin much bigger.

Speaker 9 (01:04:05):
Like They're like, we have pro sports this of course,
but like trying to explain the atmosphere of a college
sport of a college like you know, an LSU tailgate,
are like going walking down Hoover, Michigan.

Speaker 1 (01:04:16):
I think college football is the closest thing to like
soccer over there, like as far as the passion and
the tradition and the chance and like all of that
kind of stuff, Like because the NFL fandom pales in
comparison to what they do over there for a premier.

Speaker 9 (01:04:31):
League, that's true. I went whatever the French soccer league
is I know that people know this. I don't, but
I went to a game and it was it was
like apparently this team wasn't even that good, and I
was like, Oh, these people are like there would never
be this at like a Jaguars pan.

Speaker 4 (01:04:48):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:04:49):
The choreography of like the crowd and the fans and
the songs that they sing and they come up. I mean,
it's just if you've never been to a Premier League
game or like an European soccer game, it's it's it
puts us to shame, it really does.

Speaker 9 (01:05:03):
Well, let's go to some of that college football right now.
Illinois beating the USC on a walk off field goal
thirty four to thirty two. USC had just taken the
lead on the Makaya Limon touchdown, and twenty eighth rank
Notre Dame I'm trying. Twenty second ranked Notre Dame beat
the breaks off of Arkansas fifty six to thirteen CJ.
Carr with four touchdown passes, sixteenth three Georgia Tech b

(01:05:23):
wake for thirty to twenty nine in overtime, and eighteen
three Vanderbilt beat Utah State fifty five to thirty five.
Games on right now, Old Miss coming out to Kayden
Lee with a touchdown reception here at nearing the end
of the first half, sixteen to seven the lead and
the thirteenth threeth Rebels have over the fourth ranked Tigers.
If you're paying attention to the Landry kipping with Weeks

(01:05:45):
you know instagram, such situation which I am what.

Speaker 8 (01:05:49):
Weeks threw up in the first quarter? Oh so I
saw that going What did what did they do last night?
What was going on?

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
You know?

Speaker 9 (01:05:55):
Is this the flu game for with? You know that
type of deal. So he threw up on the field
still playing still.

Speaker 1 (01:06:01):
Landrey Kiffin purposely get the flu and then give it
to Wit in anticipation of this game. And it was
all a ruse.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
Now we have a story.

Speaker 9 (01:06:11):
It means more in the SEC in the Big Ten,
Number one Ohio State, the top ranked team in the nation,
with its second touchdown of the day, fourteen to three
over the home team Washington is also undefeated eight minutes
left in the third quarter. There at the half, the
ninth ranked Texas A and M with the thirteen to
three lead over Auburn.

Speaker 8 (01:06:30):
Ten minutes left in the third quarter, eleventh ran.

Speaker 9 (01:06:33):
Indiana with a ten tie with Iowa and.

Speaker 8 (01:06:38):
Tennessee and Mississippi State.

Speaker 9 (01:06:39):
Tennessee just tying this game up as I speak, seven
thirty left in the first half. Tennessee just going a
touchdown seventeen to seventeen.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):

(01:07:09):
dot com. I'm so excited to bring on this next
guest because, as he has pointed out, he owes me
we're up. I'm up two zero on him. I have
gone on his radio show in Houston Sports Radio six'
ten From Sports radio six. Ten it Is reggie added
to A Reggie. Reginalds how are?

Speaker 11 (01:07:26):
YOU i could be doing, better As i'm sure you might,
imagine but doing pretty well joining you.

Speaker 1 (01:07:31):
Guys, actually, okay So i'm so glad we have you
on because we didn't actually even get to talking about
The texans in the very top of the show when
we were talking about surprises this year and, surprise, surprise
The Houston texans are zero to three and who could
have ever seen this? Coming oh? RIGHT i talked a
lot about, it in, fact earlier in the preseason WHEN

(01:07:53):
i had no idea who was starting on this offensive
line For. Houston and guess, what The texans didn't know
who they were starting on this offensive line until right
up against the. Season, So, reggie what is going on down?

Speaker 11 (01:08:05):
There they were asking that same thing, here although you
kind of saw it. Developed we've been calling getting exercise
in arrogance or hubris coming into the season because you
hit one of the, points. Right you came in with
an offensive line after a season where the offensive line
was putrid and it was well in maligned across the,
league rightfully, so because you have a young quarterback in. C.

(01:08:26):
J stroud who was under, pressure under duress all the,
time and what they decided to do in the off
season was go get a few spare parts that weren't
really good in other places and hope that competition and
coaching would get those guys to a higher.

Speaker 10 (01:08:37):
LEVEL i called it.

Speaker 11 (01:08:38):
Kind of like a almost like they took a, parlay
and they needed a whole bunch of things to. Hit
when you talk about these offensive, line don't don't forget
the ideas they have a first time play cooler coming
in for this offense that needs to figure out this
offensive line and then also get C. J stroud going
get some new weapons that they've brought, in they've, drafted
and when you have a, parlay all you need is

(01:08:58):
one thing to not hit to go. Wrong they've had
the special fortune of having all of it not hit
and that's how you end up owing.

Speaker 3 (01:09:04):
Three that was such a fantastic. EXPLANATION i, REALLY i
really enjoyed.

Speaker 2 (01:09:09):
That so for WITH.

Speaker 3 (01:09:11):
Cj stroud had a bit of a sophomore, slump is
it fair to greet him this? Year is is it
fair to say is he still something or with everything.

Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
That you just?

Speaker 3 (01:09:21):
Mentioned is it kind of like you can't really?

Speaker 11 (01:09:24):
Tell those are the conversations we're having right, now.

Speaker 10 (01:09:27):
BECAUSE i, mean this is, here this is here.

Speaker 11 (01:09:30):
Three so the, answer, yes there is some fairness to you,
know kind of bring some of these to his, doorstep
BECAUSE i mean year. Three by the end of that
with the, quarterback you're starting to ask do you want
to give him fifty to sixty million dollars, annually And
i'll tell, you, honestly there are a number of people
In houston that are saying the answer is, No i'm
not one of those. PEOPLE i think we've seen enough
of a proof of concept with what he can. Do

(01:09:50):
and you have a terrible offensive line the, game and
that's it's about blocking and. Tackling right, now they don't
block very, well so that doesn't help. Him this offensive
system is one THAT i think there's a lot questions to. Have,
however with C J, stroud it is fair to know
when you do have opportunities to make plays as a,
quarterback particularly of a certain, stature you need to make
those and right now he's left a decent amount of
those on the on the cutting room floor right. Now

(01:10:12):
SO i think there's a lot of kind of fluff
happening all the way around this. TEAM i still feel
LIKE cj has it within. Him, however you're running out of.
Time one to make the, playoffs just, generally but then
two to prove some people right about you and this team, well.

Speaker 1 (01:10:26):
And especially when The cults are apparently running away with
the division. Already oh my. Goodness, okay but, LIKE i
want to talk to you about something, too because has
there been a quicker drop off with an offensive coordinator
Than Bobby? Slowick because two years ago we're talking about
this guy in the context of he's the next, best

(01:10:48):
like next greatest offensive head, coach and he's done all
this great. Thing these great things with C. J stroud
is rookie season and this that the other AND i
think we all agree that C. J stroud is among
the top third of quarterbacks in the league right now
and is still. Ascending so what is it that isn't
going right for this? Offense and how did it go

(01:11:08):
so wrong that they ended up Firing Bobby?

Speaker 11 (01:11:11):
Slowick all, right with The Bobby slowik, thing there's a
few things. Happening one of those things like he wanted
he held the rings too tight and obviously did not
lessen people In one of the things That i've kind
of likened it too With bobby and kind Of Nick,
kayley is that you went to the car a lot
and decide THAT i want this, car BUT i want
the base model. Please because With bobby slow one of
the things that the smart football people will tell you

(01:11:31):
when they looked at his offense. Was he was running
the bare bones instances of What Kyle shanahan put out, here,
Right like The shanahan. System we've seen some of the
acolytes go out and they add on to it in
theory to make it. Better he was running the most
basic portions of. That AND i, mean especially when that
is the flavor of the time period in THE, nfl
you got to know that defenses know how to handle
some of the bare bones things if you don't add

(01:11:52):
on top of. It Nick caylee seemingly doing that with
as much as he, would you detest or come against
this the bear Bones patriot offense from the mid to
late aut and you're seeing that same type of. THING
i think that that was also a part of what
was happening With. Bobby But i'm sure there's a number
of people that have made this, point And i'm sure
that he also feels this down there In. Miami Bobby
slow had got to be looking at what's happening With houston, saying,

(01:12:13):
oh so it was all, Me, hume it was all.

Speaker 1 (01:12:15):
Me that's What i'm. Saying that's What i'm.

Speaker 2 (01:12:17):
Saying, well that's.

Speaker 11 (01:12:18):
Right SO i don't think he's off THE i don't
think he's off the, look at least not in my.
Book but there's clearly more things that were issue here With,
houston especially when you get to the offensive.

Speaker 2 (01:12:27):
Line so that brings, up of, course the age old.

Speaker 3 (01:12:29):
Question Dimigo ryans has been was successful obviously the first,
year the first couple of. Years this is a tough.
Year how much time does he have that this spiral.
CONTINUES i can't imagine he'd be on the hot seat this,
Year but if the season continues as it, is does
next year become a make or break year for?

Speaker 11 (01:12:48):
HIM i could see next year becoming some of. That
but you guys and we know, It like we've all
seen What houston has been in the past three years,
ago there was a wilderness happening here At houston And Demiko,
ryans he's gained a level of respect around THE nfl
for good. Reason they pulled this organization HIM. Cj you
can Give Nick casario some love there as. Well they

(01:13:11):
pulled this organization out of the doldrums and they made
them a perpetual playoff team over the last couple of, years,
Right and SO i think that you can't forget. That
and on top of the fact that he puts together
a really good. Defense but the thing that people have
asked about is are you a defense? Coordinator are you
truly a head coach able to get the entirety of
your house in. ORDER i think that's the challenge for
him right, now and it starts with making sure that

(01:13:31):
you win a game that you're supposed to against the
Lowly Tennessee.

Speaker 1 (01:13:33):
Titans the Lowly Tennessee. Titans, oh them fighting.

Speaker 11 (01:13:37):
Work, oh there's always going to be room here in
the city Of. Houston talk trash about That Tennessee Tennessee titans.

Speaker 1 (01:13:42):
ORGANIZATION i, MEAN i, mean, yeah like do they need
to be kicked when they're down right? NOW i mean
like this is, this this game very, MUCH i think
is what could Get houston back on. Track but are
you then going to run into? That, well it was
just The titans kind of.

Speaker 11 (01:13:58):
Narrative oh you, will you, will and especially when you
LOOKED i don't know if you guys have looked at
the schedules of The. Texans we, cried is The Baltimore?
Raising so that it's? Fun but you're, right, LIKE i
don't know how much you can look at this as a.
JUMPSTART i asked this question on our show this. Week
but at the very, LEAST i think that there is
an opportunity to prove that you can do something right.

(01:14:19):
Right if you can do something, right or if you
can't do it right against The, titans WHO i, mean,
really the only thing they're looking at is Cam ward
as a. Positive if you can't do right, things THEN
i think that that's where you start getting criticism all
the way across this. Organization SO i think this is
kind of an interesting canvas for them to at least
prove we can do the bare bones. Right we can
establish a foundation for our, season get win number, one

(01:14:41):
and start building towards whatever success looks like through the
remainder of the. Season but as far as, like, oh
are you going to be The Houston texas that we
had anticipated in the beginning of the, Season, oh you
don't do nothing to prove that against The Tennessee.

Speaker 1 (01:14:52):
Titans, REGGIE i really appreciate you coming, on And i'm
not entirely SURE i should be telling you. This but
