Speaker 1 (00:25):
A lot to get to today is real goody Eras

Trey Wingo going to join us at about fifteen minutes.
We have the Weekken observations as well in hour number two,

He'll join us at hour number two as well. Let's

(00:47):
start here though, with Mikey A and Taylor. First off,
congratulations to Mikey A and his son's little league team.
They were Mikey what they win? You're more excited than
he is. I know you're committed to this in a
way that he's not. So what did they win?

Speaker 4 (01:05):
They won the New England Regional. They went as high
as they could go for their age group in little
league and they won it all all right, so undefeated
through the regionals.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Well, congratulations to you, not to your son, just to you.
Your son doesn't care to me.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
I listen.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
He didn't have to pay for the hotel room for
nine days. He didn't lose his voice screaming for him. Yes,
all he did was hit and play defense.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
What do you do?

Speaker 4 (01:31):
I paid and I screamed, that's right, and I danced.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
I am very excited because we'll get to Taylor's winners
and losers from preseason week one.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
I have done these during the regular season.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
I have never done an addition of winners and losers
for a preseason Week one.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
This is very exciting Taylor.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
But let's start with Jackson Dart because I believe Taylor
has some issues with the narrative surrounding Jackson Dart.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
He took a monster hit.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Like Jackson Dart doesn't need the offensive line's help getting concussed,
and the offensive line in a preseason game just left
him wide open to get nailed by a linebacker. And
he had to go to the blue tent. Why because
that's where he lives.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
Yeah, the running back missed the block, clear miss there.
My problem with this there feels like it's a disingenuous
narrative around dark because yes, he goes to the blue
tent a lot, but he doesn't really have the concussion
issues where people are tweeting about it. This tweet comes
from Orang Sharp. Jackson Dart has made five trips to

(02:36):
the blue medical tent in a ten game span last year,
one game into twenty twenty six. One trip to the
blue medical tent simply not sustainable on the surface, Yes,
Jackson Dart is making trips to the Blue medical Tent
a lot, but he's only he's been cleared five out
of those six times where he goes to the blue tent.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
Right, and the narrative around.

Speaker 5 (02:58):
Jackson Dart feels like Jackson Dart has to change the
way he has to play. Jackson Dart is this fragile
quarterback in New York. Do I think he has to
adjust the way he plays a bit? Yes, because some
of the times when he runs it is a bit
reckless where he's just throwing his body to the wind.
But he's not TUA. And while I get player safety
is the ultimate goal, I'm kind of with Jackson Dart

(03:20):
where the sound of Jackson Dart being like, I'm just
as puzzled as anybody else. Why I keep going to
the medical tent where we're at the stage where if
you make contact with Jackson Dart, it's an automatic visit
to the Blue Tent.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
I think he enjoys going there. I do like a retreat.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
It's like a little home on the sideline for him.
He just hangs out in there. I mean, he's got
pictures of.

Speaker 6 (03:41):
His family on the walls.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
He hasn't like on Survivor, like a trick to the sanctuary.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
He has a picture of the Darts. Mikey, how do
you feel about this?

Speaker 1 (03:55):
By the way, what Taylor is saying is he has
a high percentage when he goes into the blue tent.
He is coming out of the Blue ten just about
every time and going right back on that football field.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
He's batt in eight hundred in no concussion. I get that.
But at the same time, you just can't take those
hits so often. You're saying he's not like Tua ware
every time. But Tua wasn't like Tua until he was like,
at some point, you're gonna get one of those hits
that's going to open the floodgates to all of the
other concussions that can come.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
But I think what Taylor is saying, and I kind
of agree with him on this, and Jackson is saying
it as well. I was surprised by the mobility of
Jackson Dark coming from Mississippi into the NFL. I was
not aware he could run and was as athletic as
he has shown here through one year in the NFL.
And I think what Taylor is trying to say is,
don't take that part of the game out of Jackson,

(04:47):
don't make him think too much. Let him just be
who he is and play quarterback because he appears to
be very good at it.

Speaker 5 (04:53):
I mean, we're in a situation right now where every
spotter is on high alert every time Jackson Dart gets hit,
where it's an automatic sent to the tent. And yes,
you're the NFL is trying to protect Jackson Dart. I
understand that, but taking him out of the game for
every time he gets touched where he's not getting hit
in the pocket more than the average quarterback, but he

(05:16):
is getting sent to the blue medical tent more. And
it's not like every time he's going he's getting ruled
out of the game with a concussion. He's just coming
back five plays later.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
The NFL is not concerned about just over' clear, not
concerned about Jackson Dart.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
They're protecting themselves. They lost a lawsuit.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
They lost the concussion lawsuit. It was hundreds of millions
of dollars paying all kinds of former players. And of
course they're gonna be cautious when it comes to concussions
and head injuries in the NFL. Literally, they're losing money
if it happens. I mean, guys are suing them.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
Yes, My larger point is that I have a problem
with everybody saying that Jackson Dart has a concussion issue.
Just to be clear, if we want the right narrative out,
he has a blue tent issue.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
He doesn't have a concussion issue yet. But what he
does have is he gets hit harder, it seems than anyone. Now,
he hasn't gotten the concussions, but there are a lot
of quarterbacks who have running as part of their game
that don't get hit the way he is getting hit. Like,
he has to learn how to get himself down in
a better way than he has been, because right now

(06:23):
it is Tee off on him, and he's luckily not
getting the concussions at the rate that the NFL seems
to think he might be getting them. But he is
still getting hit harder than say a Patrick Mahomes or
a Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson, all these guys who
run but don't get hit that way.

Speaker 5 (06:42):
Yeah, but Mikey, don't you think there's something to it
where if Jackson Dart and Josh Allen both get hit
the same way, the people who are up there, who
are in charge of it, have more of a chance
of sending Jackson Dart to the blue tent because it
is and Dart and we just for some reason just
keep sending him to the blue tent.

Speaker 6 (07:04):
Well, he burnover.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
He has a history, Josh Allen does it.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
I mean, I'm certain they're cautious with two as well,
don't you think, I mean, Jackson Dart does.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
It's a short history.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
And I granted he's walked into that blue tent six
times and five times he has come out and gone
back on the football field, but he does have issues
with head injuries.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
That's why they're being cautious, right.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
I think he has the same the same amount of concussions,
as as somebody like Josh Allen.

Speaker 6 (07:27):
Well, it's a.

Speaker 7 (07:28):
Lot Allen's been playing for.

Speaker 6 (07:30):
It's a lot shorter of a sample sizers.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Josh Allen goes into that blue tent. It's a cup
of coffee. I mean, I'm telling you it's a shot
of espresso. That guy is not in there for more
than thirty seconds. He walks in, give someone a wink
and he walked right back.

Speaker 5 (07:42):
As dude, he's not even giving somebody a wink. There's
nobody in that blue tent. When Josh Allen, it's just him. Yeah,
it's the Homer sens in going in and out Like
Josh Allen just goes in, he signs his name in
and then he signs right back out.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
He walks in and says, what the hell are the
darts doing hanging there?

Speaker 7 (07:57):
And then he leaves.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Is there a mailbox here? What are we doing with
the Blue ten being the darts house? Do we have
a mailbox that to say the darts on it is
the mailbox? I guess everyone knows we're just send Jackson
dart mail. So let's get to winners and losers from
a preseason week number one.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Exciting oh wow, football winners and losers.

Speaker 6 (08:20):
So I have three winners and three losers.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
No one really won and no one really lost. The
lead to you, I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 (08:30):
I'll start with a winner. Wow, Fernando Mendoza.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Big time.

Speaker 7 (08:36):
He's good.

Speaker 6 (08:37):
You could just look.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
At Fernando Mendoza and right away, Stu, he passes the
eye test.

Speaker 6 (08:41):
You look at him and you say that guy belongs.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yep, no doubt, Yes he belongs.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Kirk Cousins is gonna be the week one started though
he played well, Kirk Cousin.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
But I am with you on Mendoza. He looked the
part that's important.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
My biggest loser yep. Cam Ward really, yeah, I saw.
I was hoping to see a step with cam Ward.
And that's what you really want to see in a
second year quarterback. You want to see that step that
they take.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
It's a leap year.

Speaker 7 (09:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (09:08):
Is it a leap year or a step year?

Speaker 2 (09:10):
He has to make a big lead. I don't know.
Put it on the poll. Is it a step year
or elite year for cam Ward?

Speaker 5 (09:15):
And then when you're watching cam Ward against the forty
nine ers, the forty nine ers rested as starters in
the game, and Ward was still five of twelve passing
fifty seven yards, fifty six point six passer rating. And
you guys are gonna like this Titans play the Jets
Week one. Yeah, I've now got that as a Jets win.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
I don't like that.

Speaker 7 (09:35):
Why would I like that?

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Why would I like?

Speaker 5 (09:37):
This Jets team is sneaky. You saw Garrett Wilson. Garrett Wilson.
Garrett Wilson's not going to be in my winners. But
Garrett Wilson is a winner.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Well, you can't be a winner and be on the Jets.
Put it on the poll. Can you be a winner
and be on the New York Jets?

Speaker 6 (09:51):
You can't do it, Garrett Wilson. There, I believe Garrett
Wilson could be a top five.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Aaron Rodgers his entire career, winner, winner, clutch winner, winner
gets the Jets. Tear's the Achilles loser. I mean, that's
what happens when you go to the Jets. There are
no winners, just losers.

Speaker 7 (10:08):
Can't do it.

Speaker 6 (10:09):
You guys are so down on this Jets team. I
like this Jets team forty years.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
Yeah, but you know yesterday, Yesterday's team is not today's team, right.

Speaker 6 (10:19):
The team is different.

Speaker 5 (10:20):
The twenty sixteen Jets have no impact on the twenty
twenty six Jets. It's a new year for Aaron Glenn,
who's probably gonna be the first coach fired.

Speaker 7 (10:28):
You're right there.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Every year it's different, the team is different, the results
are exactly the same.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Any other winners for the weekend?

Speaker 6 (10:37):
My next winner.

Speaker 5 (10:38):
The more connection looks good, It looks really hate a savior. Yes,
I was thinking, is there a chance Dj Moore could
be the best receiver that Josh Allen has played with?
I know Stefan Diggs was great there and he said
a lot of franchise marks in Buffalo, But on paper,
talent wise, DJ Moore and Stefan Diggs go toe to

(10:59):
toe with each other.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
This is how it works, he is right now, until
they don't make it to the AFC Championship game where
the Super Bowl, and then it's DJ Moore's fault and
not Josh Allens. Is that fair, Mikey, That's usually the
way it works with Josh Alleney. Bring in another receiver,
someone better than DJ Moore. Come on down, Michael Pittman,

(11:20):
you're next stop all right, give us another loser here
before Drey winga.

Speaker 6 (11:25):
Michael Lafleur from the.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
Cardinals head coach, giving Jeremiah Love double digit carries in
a preseason game should be considered malpractice?

Speaker 2 (11:35):
From coach put it on the poll.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Uh, giving Jeremiah Love double digit carries in a preseason
game should he be sued from malpractice?

Speaker 6 (11:44):
You agree, Mikey, Yes, I agree with you.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
I just wonder where Lafleur got his doctorate that he's
getting malpractice, getting malpractice because.

Speaker 5 (11:53):
You're looking at Jeremiah Love now he has a high
ankle spray and the Cardinals are left hoping he can
return in four weeks for a week one game at
the Charger.

Speaker 6 (12:00):
It's not looking that good to me.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
That show us at the new Toy. That's all it is.
It's like trying to just of it.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
No one thinks you should take a running back in
the first round. They took one very high, and that's
just kind of justifying a pick that no one else
thinks you should have made.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
That's all the best thing that could happen to the
Cardinals is he goes out for the year and then
they get two rookies next year, a quarterback and a
running back, and they're like Hey, little slipper, we got now.

Speaker 7 (12:24):
Carries.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yep. If you have three running backs, Mikey, what does
that mean? I mean you know I have any.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
I have one more loser. The Bengals offensive line. Joe
Burrow got folded like a cheap lawn chair the second
play of the game. Joe Burrow's been sacked forty or
more times three times in his NFL career. The Bengals
traded for Dexter Lawrence that number ten pick. They could

(12:51):
have gotten somebody like Francis Mauioah that the Giants wound
up drafting. Wit said, pick your most valuable asset. If
you're the Cincinnati Bengals, is Joe Burr start acting like it?

Speaker 6 (13:03):
But he wanted a defensive line name.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Burrow wanted one.

Speaker 5 (13:07):
Yeah, But if you're this Bengals team, you have to
kind of go in with the mindset we're gonna have
to score sixty points a game to win. You have
Joe Burrow, you have t Higgins, you have Jamar Chase.
Give Joe Burrow time in the pocket so he could
assess what he has to do to carry your defense.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
I think the Bengals are gonna be fine. They're my
Super Bowl pick out of the AFC. How about that
terrible pick? I pick them every year.

Speaker 6 (13:29):
I'm not the Chargers.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
How about that? Mikey, do you have a winner or
a loser from the weekend?

Speaker 1 (13:34):
I know this wasn't your topic, but do you have
one lay?

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (13:40):
All the other New England states when they played Connecticut
in the Little League regional tournament.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
I have a big winner, less Snead, Sean McVay. They
took ty Simpson. No one thought they should have tooken
ty Simpson. Now they have their quarterback when Matthew Stafford
gets hurt and they have their quarterback for the next
fifteen years. I mean seriously, he's the MVP of the
preseason through Week one.

Speaker 6 (14:00):
That It's crazy.

Speaker 5 (14:01):
It's crazy to see when a team runs itself like
a great organization.

Speaker 6 (14:07):
Well like with forward thinking.

Speaker 5 (14:09):
Yeah, just like it's just like a system, like we
just draft the next guy. We churn out great players,
we trade out picks, and we replace them.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Which is exactly why me and Mikey are frustrated with
the Jets. Who's starting at quarterback for the Jets this
year Gino yep, a guy that was terrible for them.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Twelve years ago. Okay, club Nick, that's my guy.

Trey Wingo is with us on behalf of all Things
Trey Wingo. What are you promoting today? Because I asked
you before we got started and it was just a
bunch of Trey Wingo stuff.

Speaker 7 (15:02):
I mean, yeah, kind of thanks for having me on again,
so we go through it.

Speaker 8 (15:09):
We've got the The Wingo Network and we've got straight Facs,
homie podcasts and the Trey Wingo Show on that. We
also have Trey Wingo Golf, which the show I do
with Justin Ray.

Speaker 7 (15:20):
The Tiger Woods of Golf Researchers we have that.

Speaker 8 (15:23):
Those are both on my YouTube pages, The Wingo Network
and Trey Wingo Golf. We also have launched a new
football show called Inside FB Show on YouTube. That's with me,
Hall of Famer Brian Urlocker, Hall of Famer Chris Carter,
longtime head coach Marvin Lewis and former GM of the
Arizona Cardinals Steve Kaim And yeah, we're just plugging along
man having a good time.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Mikey Is he rattled off those names. You seem very impressed.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
I mean, geez, well, I mean, of course it's impressive.
I just my mind went a different place, and I'm wondering,
how the hell do I become the Tiger Woods of anything? Like,
what do I have to do to become the Tiger Woods.

Speaker 7 (15:56):
Of anything in this life?

Speaker 8 (15:58):
Justin Ray, by the way, Justin Ray is blowing up
and I'm so happy he's doing the PGA Tour stuff.

Speaker 7 (16:05):
Now he's going to do some TV shows.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Justin Ray.

Speaker 8 (16:08):
I met Justin when he was an ESPN researcher and
we just hit it off. First time we ever worked
together was at the twenty ten US Open a Pebble Beach.
And this guy just has a database of golf information.
I could say to him, Hey, Justin, how many times
did babe Didrickson? Zahary has hit the fairway in the
nineteen forty three US Open and five seconds it He'll
be sixty.

Speaker 7 (16:27):
Three percent of the time. I mean, like, he's unbelievable.

Speaker 8 (16:30):
He's unbelievable, Like he had this great nugget yesterday with
Scotty Scheffler winning. Scotty Scheffler won by eight shots yesterday,
the second win of the year. It was the second
time he's had a win of eight or more shots
in his career. That's tied for the second most in
the last forty years. Number one is Tiger, who did
it ten times. That's that's how he works, that's how

(16:52):
he rolls.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
So he's the mel Kuiper of golf information the way
Kiper mel Kiper wants.

Speaker 7 (16:59):
To be the Justin Ray Wow.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
I'm not certain if I'm impressed with him mel I
love mel who?

Speaker 6 (17:06):
Or if I want to love Mel?

Speaker 1 (17:07):
I know you love Mel You have to have to
you have to couch it under the I love mel
Kuiper before you say it, not on the back end.
I'm not certain if I should be impressed with this
person or if I can tell.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Him to get a life. I mean, seriously, no.

Speaker 7 (17:21):
No, no, Justin is Justin is awesome? Like he is awesome.

Speaker 8 (17:25):
He's also a part of the US men's Ryder Cup
team now going to work with the database and help
them try and get better on alternate shots.

Speaker 7 (17:32):
He did the same thing at the Solheim Cup.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (17:34):
Before he got there, they had lost the last three
alternate shots.

Speaker 8 (17:37):
They haven't lost one since He's just He's money. Justin
Ray is money.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Trey.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
The last time I saw you, we were in Lake Tahoe.
We were at the karaoke party. It was fantastic, It
was fun. Your your wife.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Is amazing, amazing track.

Speaker 7 (17:53):
You love her.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
But you and I were debating a couple of things
as it relates to karaoke. One help me out here
because the guys I don't. I feel like they don't
believe me and they don't support me. Baker Mayfield was
truly awful. He thought that he won the karaoke contest,
but he was truly awful.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
Correct can confirm and again, I love Baker.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
I love Baker.

Speaker 7 (18:14):
I want to be clear.

Speaker 8 (18:15):
I think Baker's great, but Baker is not was not
even on the podium in terms of karaoke. Marcus Allen
was amazing. Yes, DeMarcus Ware was incredible. I mean there
was some real oh Anica Sornstem and her husband crushing
Abba was together as a deal with outfits.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
A love Baker, but absolutely.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Not but Baker thought chance.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
But Baker felt when he was up there, Baker felt
like he was killing it.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Correct.

Speaker 8 (18:46):
I mean, you know, he was probably socially lubricated as
we all were that evening, and uh, you know, I
was enjoying himself.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yes, you were very upset because was it Owen Wilson
who was the singer who was performing at a karaoke contest?

Speaker 2 (19:00):
You didn't like that, right, Yeah, you can't have a
Jacob I'm sorry. I just called him up with Wilson,
Owen Wilson.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
It's all good.

Speaker 7 (19:08):
It was a long time ago run together.

Speaker 8 (19:09):
They're all doing a golf thing with either you know, yeah,
Pull or Netflix.

Speaker 7 (19:13):
And Will Ferrell's involved in all of it.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
So Jaco and who I once thought was Aaron Rodgers,
I once thought he was the Jets quarterback.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
I confused them.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
They look alike Jacob and was up there doing karaoke.
He's a professional singer. He performed the night before at
a real concert. And Trey had issues with a real
performer taking part in a karaoke contest.

Speaker 7 (19:31):
No, I mean, I agree.

Speaker 8 (19:33):
It's it's like when you know you play a pro
am somewhere or not a problem You're playing in a
golf tournament somewhere and somebody brings a guy that was
a former professional golfer.

Speaker 7 (19:42):
No, you can't win. You can't win.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
That's illegal, right, that's all right. But Stu glossed over
this when he said he thought that was Aaron Rodgers.
He interviewed him like four the podcasts. Yeah, as Aaron Rodgers,
and Jacob went to his credit just rolled with it.

Speaker 7 (20:01):
Yes, that's that's that's kudos to him. By the way,
did you notice I thought Rob Riggle was starting to
look like Aaron Rodgers. Did you not see the resemblance there?
Like that was thick Aaron Rodgers?

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Yes, uh Riggs funny. Yes, he is starting to look
like it looked like him.

Speaker 7 (20:16):
Look at the picture. He's starting to look like Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yes, Trey, you love football. How happy were you over
the weekend? I know it's preseason? How do you do preseason?
Were you happy just to have football on your television screens?

Speaker 3 (20:29):
Kind of?

Speaker 8 (20:30):
And I think we all are right, and we're all
we all get into this hyper drive like I was.
First of all, I was happy to have it, but
I see it as a distraction. I see it as oh,
there's something going on. You know, we get to the
point where we talk about it so much when we
don't have it that as soon as we get.

Speaker 7 (20:48):
It, we overload and over care about this stuff.

Speaker 8 (20:53):
Like you know, somebody called one said that was the
greatest Hall of Fame game we've ever seen, which he's
like saying, that's the greatest wind sprint I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 8 (21:03):
Like I was scrolling through Instagram Tod and some guy
I don't know who he is. I'm sure he's really
good at what he does, but he was breaking down
film of the Ravens defensive calls in their preseason games, like,
and I swear to got he said this, this is
the greatest call in preseason so far.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Wow, all right, sure name the second.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
I mean, first of all, it's the first week he's
killed this still get this call by Jesse Minter And
they tipped off what.

Speaker 8 (21:36):
They're doing here, and he's like, everybody just relaxs, Okay,
let's enjoy preseason football responsibly. Like I put this out
there on the straight Backs on the podcast part of
the Wingo Network.

Speaker 7 (21:46):
Understand what you're watching and what you're not watching, right,
We all want football. It's great, it's exciting.

Speaker 8 (21:51):
But to compare a preseason game to a regular season game,
and you've heard me say this before, is like comparing
a black bean burger to a Wygo beef smash burger.
Technically they're both burgers, but they could not.

Speaker 7 (22:02):
Be more different.

Speaker 8 (22:03):
Okay, so just appreciate what you're seeing and what you're
not seeing. Like, none of these coaches are game planning
for anybody.

Speaker 7 (22:11):
They're basically, especially in the first week.

Speaker 8 (22:13):
All these coaches and coaching staff are trying to do
is we've taught these players to do this. Now, let's
see if they can do it when there's a game simulation.
Do you remember years ago when when Jamis was still
with the Bucks and I can't remember who the co
he used to be, Merril Hodge's college coach. He bounced
around for a long time. Dak starts with a D.

(22:37):
I can't remember anyway, So Jamis did this incredible play
where he was running around throwing the ball and threw
it backward.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Dirt cutter.

Speaker 7 (22:43):
Dirt cutter, that's what it was. Dirt cutter.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Feel better and feel better?

Speaker 6 (22:46):
Yes, I do, Yes, that was going to drive.

Speaker 7 (22:49):
I would have woken up at three am. It's a
dirt Cutter you're talking about.

Speaker 8 (22:54):
So Jamis runs it around and throws this ridiculous pass
that was intercepted at the goal line and he runs
over the sidelins and dirt Cutter has his hand drum saying, now,
look that was.

Speaker 7 (23:02):
A real football game.

Speaker 8 (23:03):
That was really fucking stupid, right, So even the coaches
know this is not real football. It's a simulation. It's
like Beatlemania. It's not the Beatles, but an incredible simulation,
you know. So just appreciate what it is and understand
what it isn't and then you'll enjoy it much better.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Trey.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
With all that being said, I have Ty Simpson as
the MVP of the preseason so far.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
Congratulations.

Speaker 7 (23:28):
That's wonderful.

Speaker 8 (23:30):
I'm at the point in my life where people say
things that like that.

Speaker 7 (23:33):
I'm like, good for you, man, I wish I cared
that much.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
But just speaking of Ty Simpson, is there any quarterback
that you've seed so far that you go, huh, he
actually might be a whether it's Simpson club, Nick. I mean,
Anthony Richardson was showing something and Carson Beck, all these
guys they came in with questions and you go, you
know what they looked all right?

Speaker 1 (23:57):
I was telling Sims, Chris Sims, I was telling him,
I had that moment that wow, that looks it looks
good to me.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
With Drew Aller from the Steelers.

Speaker 8 (24:07):
He look he played great. Yeah, but again it's a
it's a base defense. There's not really game planning for what.
No one, for example, no one who.

Speaker 7 (24:16):
The Steelers play in the preseason was.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
The Packers, right, I don't know. Yeah, I wasn't expecting
follow ups.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
I'm sorry, I.

Speaker 7 (24:24):
Thank you, You're welcome.

Speaker 8 (24:26):
There's not a single person on the on that the
posing defense after the look, this is what we think
Drew Aller's tendencies are, this is what he likes to do,
this is what he struggled with.

Speaker 7 (24:35):
So let's force him to do that.

Speaker 8 (24:36):
Like none of that happens. Okay, Now, you want the
player to look good if you'd wrap him like for example,
Fernando Mendoza, Right, everyone all he looked great. I actually
had somebody say I saw somebody on Twitter. I see
shades of Burrow and Brady and Mahomes. I'm like, stop,
just stop, you don't don't you don't, yes, you don't.

Speaker 7 (24:57):
You don't, you know, you don't.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Maybe one day, but not today now.

Speaker 8 (25:01):
I mean, you want them to look good, and you
certainly want them to look good as supposed to look terrible.

Speaker 7 (25:07):
But at the end of the day, it doesn't mean much.

Speaker 8 (25:11):
Like it doesn't mean much until we get into when
the real whistles going and the bullets are flying, and
this guy they're game planning for you, right, they're game
planning for you.

Speaker 7 (25:21):
That's when it's very different.

Speaker 8 (25:22):
So you want them to be able to execute the
things that they've been taught. And there are certain things
that you can find a preseason that are great. Any
hustle play will get you on the team. I think
was it Barkibius Mingo or whatever the Mingo is for
the Cowboys, they're the wide receiver Jonathan Mingo. Hustle play,
never gave up on special teams, will be able to

(25:44):
take tackle the guy thirty yards down the field, that'll
get you around. I think there's a Giants linebacker that
chased somebody down fifty yards on a play. That'll get
you noticed. You know, that's good stuff. So there are
things that you can do in preseason that will help
your cause. But don't overreact to it because it's so
simplified and it's very, very different than what's going to
be happening in the regular season.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Trey, what did you make of Anthony Richardson? I thought,
you know, to me, he's a fascinating guy from the
standpoint he was drafted on potential. I was surprised to
see he was still with the cults, if I'm being
honest with you, But he did look good. He did
look I know it's preseason, Trey. I'm not trying to
get carried away, but we do have proof that this
guy could do it during the regular season in Spurts.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
What do you make of Anthony Richardson?

Speaker 7 (26:28):
Look, the thing for Anthony going forward.

Speaker 8 (26:31):
Is that I don't take much out of the fact
that he's a big athletic guy and he did some
things that were functional.

Speaker 7 (26:39):
To me. The two things with Anthony Richardson are can
you stay healthy because that's been his biggest issue.

Speaker 8 (26:45):
And can you progress? I mean, you go look at
his numbers. You know we're talking around the we're covering
on fifty percent first career. Maybe under that first career
is that we're talking about, So, yeah, you want to
see him progress. But I'm not going to take a
lot of what I saw in that game from Anthony
Richard and make it think make me think differently about.

Speaker 7 (27:04):
What I know about what he's been in the pros.

Speaker 8 (27:07):
It is kind of funny, right, Like he was billed
as the most athletic, the strongest, the fastest athlete.

Speaker 7 (27:12):
We've ever seen at quarterback.

Speaker 8 (27:14):
Dude can't stay on the field right and can't complete
fifty percent of his throw. So like when I start
seeing him string games together, if he goes somewhere, if
he plays or he has to play because of injuries
in Indianapolis and we're talking about fifty five sixty percent completion,
then I'll have a different opinion. But until then, I'm
not going to base much on what I saw in

(27:35):
Week one of preseason, knowing what I've already seen in
the regular season.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
If you're the Raiders, do you go with Mendoza or
Cousins week one?

Speaker 8 (27:44):
Well, I, first of all, their offensive They've got to
feel better about their offensive line if they're going to
put Mendoza in there. Now, I believe they've made the
trade for Tyler, a trade or sign free agent. I
can't remember what it was the acquisition of Tyler Lindebaum
the center the Ravens was an indication that they want
to start Mendoza sooner rather than later, because if you

(28:04):
look at what happened to cam Ward last year at
Tennessee behind a really crappy offensive line, I mean, he
just got the crap beat out of him, and you
don't want to do that to the guy you take
number one overall, So the move byke Linderbaum I think
was one of the more underrated signings and underrated pickups
of the entire offseason because it basically said, Tyler lin
the bomb is not only an unbelievable center, but the
center calls all the blocking protections right, so he's telling

(28:27):
everybody else where to go and what to do. That
move is an indication to me that sooner rather than later,
they really want to have Fernando in there. Now, Kirk
Cousins are going to go in there and say, hey,
it's my job to lose. But if they lose their
first two or three games, I don't think Kirk Cousins
is going to be riding that out. They need to
get Fernando in there, but they do need to make

(28:48):
sure that that offensive line gave up more sacks than
anybody last year. They were terrible against the run. They
were really bad last year that offensive line. They need
that line to be better if they're going to put
Mendoz out there, What.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Do you do in Cleveland? Deshaun Watson or should or Sanders.
I don't know, man, It's.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
A tough one, it really it is. Because you have
a coach who wants to win, and he might think
that Deshaun Watson gives his team the best chance to win,
but no one wants that guy to start.

Speaker 8 (29:17):
I mean, well, I mean it's it's kind of like,
you know that the GM is still there that made
that deal and it will go down as the worst
deal in the history of the National Football League. It's
why it's never been replicated.

Speaker 7 (29:28):
Right out there, Yeah, yeah, well two was close.

Speaker 8 (29:31):
Yes, this was every dollar was guaranteed for a guy
who had issues, yes, and was not playing like the
guy that should have gotten that contract maybe a couple
of years ago.

Speaker 7 (29:41):
I really don't know what they're gonna do.

Speaker 8 (29:43):
I mean, you know, outs they've they've lost their best
defensive player, but they've drafted really well in the past.

Speaker 7 (29:48):
You know, the defensive rookie they had last year was amazing.

Speaker 8 (29:54):
I kind of think they probably are leaning towards Deshaun Watson.
But at some point you have to find out what
you have with the other guy right in Shador, And
you can't have a rational opinion.

Speaker 7 (30:02):
On Shador Sanders right if you love him, Oh, you're
just sucking up to the family. And you say he's
got some issues, You're a hater. You know how about this?

Speaker 8 (30:11):
Chador played okay and we have no idea what he's
going to be yet.

Speaker 7 (30:15):
So to me, I would want to see what he has.
I would want to.

Speaker 8 (30:19):
See what Shador can be from an organizational standboy. But John,
to your point, I just called you.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
John, you did weird? What happened to you?

Speaker 7 (30:25):
To your point? To your point, Todd Mounkin doesn't give
a shit.

Speaker 8 (30:30):
He's got a win or he's gonna get Stefanski like
every other coach has ever been in Cleveland.

Speaker 7 (30:34):
Yeah you got to win.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
What happened there with a John? I mean I was
alarmed by it. I didn't even know how to respond.

Speaker 7 (30:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (30:42):
Drew Aller took over my brain pred second, the cutter
invaded my cerebellum.

Speaker 7 (30:47):
I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
The Jackson Dart stuff is interesting. He doesn't like going
to the Blue Tent.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
He lives there.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
If you have mail, you can just send it to
the Blue Tent. Jackson Dart will be there to get it.
I would tell him this stuf running so much and
stop throwing his body around like a crazy person.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
The NFL lost a lawsuit because of concussions.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
They're going to They're gonna send guys to the Blue Tent,
or instructed teams to send their quarterbacks or any player
to the Blue Tent when they think there's a concussion.

Speaker 7 (31:14):
What do you think? Yeah, look, first of all, that
one wasn't on him.

Speaker 8 (31:18):
I mean the back just blew. The assignment got waxed.
But you know, I remember him saying last year. You know,
I look, man, I see my teammates running hard, and
I'm gonna do.

Speaker 7 (31:28):
That for them.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
No, don't do that for them.

Speaker 8 (31:30):
As Herm Edwards once told me, know when the journey
is over, like the best thing Jackson Dart you can
do is not take those hits. Because the best the
best ability in football is availability, especially at the quarterback position.
So you need to do whatever you need to do
to not take those hits like that one on Saturday
was not his fault. The back blue was assignment and

(31:51):
he got blown up. Ye, but Dart takes too many
risks with his body and he's not a big enough guy.
He's not Josh Allen. He's not He doesn't have that stature.
He's going to get wrecked in the NFL if he
continues to do this. In fact, the way he's playing,
I might think that Cam Scatibow and Jackson Dark may
check out at the same.

Speaker 7 (32:08):
Season the way things are going. Like, dude, you are
not helping yourself.

Speaker 8 (32:12):
You are not helping yourself, and you need to start
helping yourself and understand by helping yourself, you're actually helping
your team.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
He tells his offensive line and that spot. Hey, I
don't need your help getting concussions. I'll get him on
my own blog for me.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
It's crazy.

Speaker 8 (32:27):
Yeah, and fall down like one of Peyton Manning's best
skills and people, I man, they just fell down that Nope,
not going to do that.

Speaker 7 (32:34):
I'll live to fight another day, all right.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
You want to promote yourself one more time on the
way out here?

Cup of coffee. He had a couple of coffee with

Speaker 2 (36:38):
They had a parade for him in Boston.

Speaker 1 (36:41):

Ted Williams, Bobby or Bill Russell is the Mount Rushmore
of Boston sports.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Well, that's up to Chris.

Speaker 6 (37:25):

give us a third place, second place?

Speaker 9 (37:33):
Well, okay, you want, you want all the places you
want all the places. I mean, Taylor's running away with it.
We didn't even get Kevin Garnett on this list anywhere
after that? After that, Mikey, because there's no rules. There's
no rules whatsoever about length of time Babe Ruth and
putting Randy Mawson there. I think elevates at STU, Gotts
comes in third and you're winner by technical knockout. Israel

(37:55):
good tierras Who's.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
H Chris hates the United States? I mean that's I mean, Jim,
how was that a bad pick?

He played at b U. He's from Massachusetts.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
He's the most famous goalie in the history of hockey.

Speaker 5 (38:16):
I think you could have taken Bob Kuzy Gronk, Paul Pierce,
Patrince Berger on

Speaker 6 (38:23):
Any of these head of Jim Craig, we can observations
