Speaker 2 (00:22):
Give this you're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Hello, Welcome and side our three, The Jason Smith Show
with my bass.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Friend Mike Harmon.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Boo shobo.

you see a potentially a pitcher gets so mad at
his catcher he throws at him.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
But this is what we had last night.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
It is quote misguided to think that Franbervaldez intentionally threw
at his teammate.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Look, Seesar Salazar wanted Valdez to step off the mound.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Weird situation. As he was getting ready to pitch. Valdez
throws the pitch, it gets hit for a grand slam,
and then the next pitch Valdez crosses up. His catcher
hits him in the chest when the pitch he wasn't
ready for, potentially to tell him, hey, don't do that again.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
I have seen people throwing at other players. I've never
seen a pitcher throw at his own player after a
home run. Right now, someone's writing this down for Major
League four. I'm putting that in Steah, that's good.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Joining us now on the hot line for more on
this story, in all the big stories in Major League Baseball,
MLB Insider with MLB Network, Fox Sports Radio on Twitter
at John Morosi, it is the Pope. He sounds sexy,
John Palmrosi, John Paul, what's happening, man.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
I'm doing great, my friends. We have had many conversations
the three of us on your great radio program. This
might be the first.

Speaker 6 (02:14):
One that we've had.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
While I've been walking up Texas Avenue after covering an
astro's Yankees game. So I'm literally walking down the street
on my phone talking to you guys, and I think, actually,
we've got a decent connection. I'm hopeful that that will
remain the case. But oh, I was literally at the
ballpark dyke in Park, as it's known now that of

(02:35):
which you are speaking. So it's just we are in
a perfect mind synchronicity in this moment that we can
have this conversation.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Awesome.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well listen, we'll get to the Yankees Astros coming up
in a second. But I got to ask you, like,
has this ever happened to you? Have you ever crossed
up Lauren Shahati doing an interview when she got mad
and through and through a fastball and hit you like I,
did that ever happen to you?

Speaker 5 (02:58):
No, I can't say that that has happened. There was
I will say that there was the time when when
I tried to interview, I thought I was going to
interview Aroundo Perdomo in Spanish, and then I believe this
direct quote was what's wrong with you?

Speaker 2 (03:13):
John?

Speaker 6 (03:14):
You could see the meeting, so that that.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
Might have been a cross up you could call.

Speaker 6 (03:21):
What happened last night.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
Let's put it this way.

Speaker 6 (03:24):
It was it was either it was either one of
two things, deliberate or a a rather staggering lack of
compassion for your teammates that you had just.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
Drilled in the chest with a fastball. One of those
two things is true, because I think that at the
very least, sort of turning your back on your teammate
in that moment was probably not the best look. Let's
just let's just say that did they Did they authentically
get crossed up? That is certainly possible. It is certainly

(03:59):
possible that at Valdez's reaction was one of frustration as
he got crossed up theoretically and then sort of turned
his back.

Speaker 6 (04:07):
Didn't love that.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
And this whole conversation is probably not optle for someone
who in a few weeks time.

Speaker 6 (04:13):
Will be a free agent.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
It is not not the best timing for a conversation
like this now. As happened for the Astros tonight, they
want a ball game. And if they keep winning games,
and if the next time val does pitches, he goes
out and throws eight shut out anything, then that has
a way of speaking well of him the performance itself.
But last night was neither good in the in the

(04:36):
performance area or in the uh in the Teammate of
the Year competition, the Giants abb is the award called
the Willie mack Award honor of Willie McCovey. If the
Astros had the best Teammate award, you can call it whichever,
you can call it, the Vigio Award, the Chris Burke Award,
whatever you want to call it, they would probably not

(04:57):
go in that. In that evidence to from Revels, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
That's a difficult part, right, because you're trying to bring
along a young catcher too, right, right, not a guy
with a lot of experience. So you know, you made
a bad pitch, Like aj Brazinski went off on this saying, look,
I'd be going right back Adam from the catcher. But
he's a young guy trying to make his bones and
stick with the squad. There's only so much he can
do and say.

Speaker 5 (05:21):
Right exactly, And it was not. It was not a
picture of a team in perfect harmony. The whole thing
wasn't who's the exact responsibility. That is, again I would
put most of it on the picture in that circumstance,
but it is you need more out of him in
that circumstance, especially given the vast difference in experience between

(05:44):
the two. And this is a team that has had
its ups and downs this season. They've been a little inconsistent,
but they actually still have the makings of a really
good October team. I saw it tonight with the way
that Jordan played for it. For him at Alexander had
a solid star, So there's enough components here of a
team that could actually do something in the month of October.

(06:04):
At Luis Garcia just came back, so there's there are
some positive trend lines that were a bit overshadowed by
something that was very avoidable last night and something that
again will will linger as long as Valdez struggles.

Speaker 6 (06:18):
If he goes out and has.

Speaker 5 (06:20):
Three great starts and then is it dominant eighth in October,
then he can write his own script at that point
in time and enter free agency with a bit more
momentum than he has at this moment.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
John Paul Morosi, our guest, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon, Live
from the Fox sports radio studios. All right now, as
you said, you just came from doing the Astros Yankees game.
The Yankees lose tonight eight to seven, and you know,
the last week when you joined us, I feel like
you really hit it right on the head with the
Yankees right which has been if you catch him on
the right day, everything is wonderful. You catch him on

(06:52):
the wrong day, it's absolute disasters. So here we are
a week later. They had been playing well, they lose tonight.
Where's your temperature right now? With the Yankees going forward?

Speaker 5 (07:04):
Much like a lot of the teams in the American League,
Which is why I think it's so much fun to
look at these playoffs right now. Basically every team that's
going right now has flawsed. We're going to see some
games with tonight that end eight to seven, or like
the Mariners that we heard in the update, thirteen to
nine last night was thirteen to ten tonight. These are

(07:24):
football scores, and I think that you've got a lot
of teams that are imperfect. The Yankees, I still think
that they are a formidable team to deal with. I
think their rotation is right now as good as it's
been since Cark Schmidt went on the il they've been
able to bring back Lebe's heel. I think Pam Schlitzler
has been phenomenal for them, and you looked at I

(07:47):
think tonight Warren was very good as well. So the
rotation is not the problem. The problem is what happened
late in the game. And it wasn't just one. And
this is the issue for the Yankies. It seems as
though when innings start to unravel on them, they can't
stop it with this bullpen. And if they've been able
to escape that Jams is giving up two runs instead

(08:08):
of four, we might be talking about the Yankee win
right now. Of course, Bellinger homers in the in the
top of the ninth and they get Who knows how
that the series or that the game plays out. If
it's a two run games that before run games, everything changes.
But the fact remains that the Yankees need to find
a way to be consistent enough with their bullpens such

(08:29):
that the home run hitting prowess of the rest of
their club will will allow itself that to win plenty
of games where home runs are often the predominant way
of scoring runs against these elite bullpen it was that
way for the Yankees last year when they reached the
World Series, and they have to hope that it's that
way again this year with the likes of Stanton having

(08:49):
a great year, Bellinger, Grisham. In some ways, they aren't
even more complete lineup now than they were a year ago,
less dependent on the one or two players. I think
that they're actually a little deeper now because of the
way that him and Bellager have played, and they still
have Gold. So a lot to like with the Yankees,
but the in consistency there as well, and their their
rivals in Boston got some tough news tonight with the

(09:09):
Roman Anthony news about him going on the IL with
the oblique injury, so further underscoring the point than a
lot of teams right now have some pretty serious flaws
and the team that wins is probably going to be
the least flawed team that plays the best for the
longest amount of time in October.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, all that analysis for the Yankees, should I just
super impose your voice and have it replayed to where
you say and the Dodgers, because at the same point,
three nothing loss to the Pirates today and a lot
of anks here in Los Angeles JP.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
Yeah, and and listen there there should be uh there,
there's still a very good team, but they're not a
dominant team, and obviously Otani. They're going to have to
really depend a lot on Otani in October to get
them deep in the games and win, which is obviously
the consistency that he's on the mound has been a

(10:01):
little bit elusive in terms of pacifically being able to
go deep into ball games. They're gonna need Clayton Church
how to be not just good, but probably great if
they're gonna win the World Series, and that's asking a
lot of a guy in what is very possibly his
final season. It's just there's so much to look at
with this Dodger team. Again. The bullpen injuries for me

(10:22):
feel like they finally have caught up with them a
little bit. That the offensive inconsistency and tasker, and it
certainly has been at the center of a lot of
conversation here in recent weeks.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Two.

Speaker 5 (10:33):
It's still a team that I like, a lot of
the Padres now are right behind them, and they just
lost Jason Adam for the long term, so the Padres
have not quite taken off to the extent that I
thought they might. And you look around the National League
and the Mets honestly, and I know Jason is being

(10:54):
very diplomatic because my family is still desponded over the
Tigers losing the three game series of the Mets. But
but the Mets can slinger right now. They had I
thought excellent at bats Monday Tuesday. Obviously that the Tigers
won today, but in general, the way that Soto is
playing right now, Jason, I think the Mets are getting
hot at the exact right time of year, at a

(11:17):
time where a lot of teams are struggling hit that
second year and gett into October. So keep the faith,
Jason Smith. Your your team, Your team might be better
than than you think it is.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Well, yeah, because we got Noan McLean and Jonah Tong. Finally,
I mean.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
It's been you know, Jason, Jason from from LA has
been calling every week on Stursday and the Pope saying
one of these guys coming up. And I think it
was a master stroke by Stearns to to just wait
and now basically, I mean again, we began this segment
hearing about how this this show's intellectual property is is

(11:56):
is borrowed from from more and more shows around the media,
the media sphere, and I think that serns me in.
The Pope winally said, you know what, Jase's idea is great,
call up the kids and watch the Mets win a
lot of games, okay.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
And two things to be to be transparent. One okay,
Brandon sprode his next make sure you tell Sternsy.

Speaker 5 (12:14):
That and work on throat.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
I think the loss the Mets lost today was my
fault because feeling a little chesty, I I texted, I
messaged John Paul yesterday after the game saying, Hey, I
know we like to have a lot of fun on
the show, but please, I know this is a tough
time for your dad right now. Please apologize to him
for me for the absolute ass kicking the Mets have
been giving the Tigers the last couple of days.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
Yes, yes, I I might not have I might not
have copied and pasted the text directly to my dad,
but but I I tried to convey your your sympathies,
and and that is greatly appreciated. Your your your friendship
and your your commiseration is noted by by the Morossi fans,

(13:00):
and we are we are grateful for it.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Oh boy, he's on Twitter at John Morosi, that is
at John Morosi. As far as we know, he has
never crossed anybody up doing a hit. But John Paul,
before we let you go, it is time, it is
that time, oh again, for you to become our Lions

(13:22):
official picker of the week. How do you see opening
week before the Lions going.

Speaker 5 (13:29):
I've been reflecting on this for a long time, okay,
and uh, I'm gonna throw you a bit of a
curve ball night Week one. The final score will be
green Bay twenty four Detroit seventeen.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Whoa, whoa.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Okay, the Lions are not scoring twenty seven points in
a game, which he had every week last year, and
they're losing this game.

Speaker 5 (13:51):
Wow, they're losing. So so just make sure, okay, make
sure that that Dan Byer is aware that I've that
I've made this for day in favor of the Wisconsin ice.
And then I've got and I've got green Bay winning
by a final score of twenty four to seventeen.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Wow. A guy taking the under and he has them
losing out right.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
John Paul's gonna be like you know, in the in
the the old like in the seventies when when a
college football coach lost a game and that night like
people would put for sale signs in his yard, like like.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
That's gonna happen now John Paul's house. Oh you picked
against us the for sale side for least.

Speaker 6 (14:29):
I mean, it.

Speaker 5 (14:30):
Makes it a little more authentic. He can't always, you
can't always just blindly pick the team. And I see
the Packers is having a little little better of a
little better of a I just think that they're at home,
the whole Lambeau thing, and that they've had a good
training camp, good preseason. I think the Packers have a
little momentum here.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Let's see if he's got the guts to double down.
Michigan getting four and a half against Oklahoma.

Speaker 6 (14:55):
Now now again, I'm gonna have to go.

Speaker 5 (15:00):
I hope they still let me fly back tomorrow, but
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go Oklahoma. I'm gonna go Oklahoma.
Thirty one Michigan twenty one, thirty one, twenty one suitors.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
All right, wow, that's a plague.

Speaker 5 (15:14):
I still love my home state. I'm just telling you
what I think the reality is right now.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
Proud Michigan, Proud Michigan. Or John Paul Morosi voting no
confidence in Bryce Underwood. All right, great the legend.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
I'm glad you guys. I'm glad you guys didn't ask
about what I think about Michigan State Boston College because
I think DC probably wins that game too.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
He's got the hat trip.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
He's got everybody in Michigan losing every game possible.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
That's how it's gonna hurt you. Hey, John Paul, Thanks, Avonchay.

Song for you.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Jason Smith Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Why are you playing a song from Foreigner from the
eighties and now everybody who's fifty is going.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
I remember when I broke up with my girlfriend and
Sawia was so sad. There's a reason why, because Foreigner
wants to take advantage of what could be an opening
at the Travis Kelce Taylor Swift Wedding. Whenever it is
Mike Wow, you have.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
The you want to get that audition in Foreigner Foreigner music.
In the Twitter verse, they posted the following under their
official account just a little while ago, saying to dear
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, we know what love is.

(20:20):
We spent forty years figuring it out and now you
guys have to please accept this as our formal offer
to be your wedding band.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
Best witches Foreigner did they do it for?

Speaker 2 (20:34):

Fantastic four? You know this is a band that could
do a lot of hits over the course of the wedding.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Waiting for a girl like you, Yeah, you got, you
got jukebox hero, cold as ice, hot blooded, urgent like
Foreigner was.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Dude?

Speaker 1 (21:03):
If we want Beyonce would play our consent? Okay, just
so you know, but I mean Foreigner is a really
solid choice, man, Like, if they're gonna come do it
and you don't have to pay him, I mean I
assume maybe you don't have to pay.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
I don't know, you don't have to volunteer, but they're

million albums worldwide, not counting all of those albums when

Speaker 3 (23:26):
Howd to make a mixtap?

Speaker 9 (23:26):
How did you put it on the tape?

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Either you had to tape the tape recorder, you use
your record, use the record.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
What's the tape recorder? Not a tape recorder? Sorry, ate
like a boombox, or you would have the tape decks
in it. You would tape the tape. You would make
a mixtape, or you'd record from your record onto a
tape because it would be a cassette that was built
into it.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
You know.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
Yeah, it was a big thing.

Speaker 9 (23:49):
I've seen one of those things in a museum.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Or you create your playlist and a CD. I was

Speaker 2 (32:29):
One of the greatest rifts of all time writing and
blinding Lights. Also Foreigner, Yeah you didn't know that? Yeah, well,
because it's got that eighties field got to be, you know, outdone.

Speaker 9 (32:39):
By blinding about Don't Stop Believing?

Speaker 1 (32:43):
Yes, Also Foreigner, Yes, they did so many hits, man,
so many hits. I'm telling you be star play rock
around the clock, fix you co play Jason Smith Mike
Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studio.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
So guess who's.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
Getting a statue at some point statue Patriots head It's okay, Jason,
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick one day is getting a
statue Patriots on a Bobcraft saying that I will fix
you because I saw that debut at North Carolina.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Was so bad.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
I will fix you by getting that statue up for
you sometime in the future. This was Bob Craft today
on that topic.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
He's singing, man, I should have known better to think
that I was going to get Bob Craft there.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
I should have known better. I need to I want
to know what Bob Craft.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
Said that great twenty year era ended. It was always
my intention to commission a statue for both Tommy and
Bill when their respect of careers were over playing and coaching,
and when Bill's coaching career ends, we look forward to

(34:08):
sitting down with him and having a statue made to
be right next to Tommy.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Okay, now let me just get me the best part
about this, right, Like, you know, when when people start
getting close to retirement, we plan parties and think, hey,
we celebrate their lives and everything else.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
You think it's any coincidence.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
After getting his ass kicked Monday night at North Carolina,
here's Bob Kraft saying, Hey, when Bill's done, don't worry,
we'll have that statue. He's at the end of his career.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
We'll don't Worry'll have that statue.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Like thinking, Hey, it could be like in the next
couple of weeks, so let's make sure we get that
out there that we're going to have the statue, because
people are going to start asking, hey, the end of
Bill's career is here. You said we're going to have
a statue.

Speaker 4 (34:45):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
I got to get ahead of this because if they
lose to Charlotte Eat or Richmond, we might wind up
having the end of that career be the middle of October.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
It's kind of like Jack O'Connell singing Ian Sinners. People
are dancing around. That's kind of what you got Bob
Kraft doing in this one.

Speaker 5 (35:01):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Tommy, Tommy also a song and a whole concept album
by four by four. Yeah you didn't know that, Yeah, question,
I just like that. With Tommy and Tommy, we talked, Yeah,
this comes up. He starting them an olive branch. This
is let's let's put some attention over here, so you
forget about that debacle.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
For a moment.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
We'll get Tommy's statue too. Coming up next, more from
the NFL. The biggest controversy today. I'll tell you right now,
it's gonna be fine. That's next right here, Jason and Mike,
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 9 (35:30):
It's gonna be May.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
Happy NFL Eve, We made it right now Mancy, Bolanos
and Bremurou are having their own dance party.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Oh we need is a disco ball and Strobelights put
that wreck get that wreck in. Boy. They're as excited
as Kawhi Leonard when he got that job planning tree.
Twenty eight million dollars today, So two.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
NFL games to preview here. One is going to be
the Cowboys Nagles. We'll get to that in a second,
but first, the war of words continued on today was
yesterday Aaron Glenn, Jets head coach, wouldn't talk about Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
No, he's not here Baltimore.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
As we told you last night, there's something that's got
to be personal there. Why he won't talk about him,
why he made him fly all the way to New
York so we can say you're fired Aaron Rodgers. Today
Biddy Burnham in coverage some Aaron, Maybe I tell you
he hasn't played with Maybe Today, Aaron Rodgers was asked, Hey,
your first game back back at met Live Stadium after
the last two disastrous years you spent Uh, is this

(36:53):
personal or just another game?

Speaker 3 (36:54):
Here's Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
Not on Wednesday?

Speaker 11 (37:00):
You know, I mean obviously if you have to have
something otherwise, I mean, not speak for myself, I have
to have something otherwise. I don't you know, I'm probably
in the wrong profession. So I'm I'll be definitely excited
to come Sunday. But Wednesday, just kind of going through
the week of preparation.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Yeah, okay, yeah, what a liar. Now, I'll give you
my pick for the game on Friday. So today it
sounds it well though, it's turning into the Sunday game
of the week with all the drama with Rogers back
in New York. Rogers, it's turning into the Sunday game
of the week with everything going on towards.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
It the Sunday game, because Monday is clearly the game
of the week.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
That's why I said the Sunday. Yeah, we also have
games Thursday and Friday, which are pretty good. Do so
Thursday Wednesday. But I'm going to tell you want a
prediction for Sunday pain, The Jets are going to live
in the Steelers backfield.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
Just watch.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
This is not going to be a return to Met
Life Stadium, and Rogers is going to walk around saying,
I own you, I own own you. The Jets defensive line,
the Jets defense is pretty good.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
They do have a lot of defensive tack back.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
Yeah, we're gonna play seven at one time and be
able to play fourteen on defense. But I have a
lot of confidence the Jets defense is going to be
terrific this year. Look, Aaron Glenn's a great DC. Now
he's that and obviously being the head coach, but I
know the kind of talent level they have. They got
guys and get after the quarterback. Rogers is someone who
was skittish last year in the pocket, threw the ball
away early, doesn't want to get hit anymore. Yeah, this

(38:28):
isn't gonna be the big triumphant in return for him
personally that he thinks it's gonna be. The Jets are
gonna Jets defense stream the Jets defense.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
If I asked you, uh, and I will over under
for his passing yards, what would you set it at?
Would I said it at, well, they don't throw the foot.
What would you anticip I would say it would be
at one seventy five two two under under for Aaron Rodgers.
I don't know that said, Justin Field's at one seventy three.
I mean my wait, seventy three or one seventy one,

(38:57):
there's a one wait, let me let me make sure
if it went yeah, make sure, let me make sure
that my screen is clean. Uh no, I have that. Yeah,
I'm going under for that too. I'm going under for
the game. I'm going under for under for everything. Total
rushing yards justin Fiel over.

Speaker 3 (39:13):
That, yeah, way over that? Yeah over that.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Yeah, he may have more rushing yards and passing yards
could happen. Now, speaking of passing, we're getting set for
tomorrow night Cowboys and the Eagles. Look if they're I'd
love for there to be a way that I can
say I think the Cowboys can win this game. Uh,
the Eagles are gonna wind up pulling away and winning
this thing big. But the one thing I will tell you,
Dak Prescott is gonna throw the football the entire game.

(39:39):
I think he's throwing the football now, gathering up stats,
getting ready for two and a half. Way over, way
over for Dak. They're gonna throw the football from the
jump to Mart's the only way they can stay with Philadelphia.
They're not gonna run it a lot, They're not gonna
try to control the ground. They are gonna throw the
foot because they know this is their only way out.
The Cowboys only escape this year is through the air
to three pretty good targets, you know, counting with Cde

(40:01):
Lamb and George Pickens and Ferguson. They got some They
got some dudes there that can catch the ball. And
remember fergus had a big year twenty twenty three when
Dak was healthy. Their only way out is for Dak
to throw it. You know, Jerry Jones is gonna say,
Dak save us after this disastrous Micaeh Parsons trade, so's
Dak's passing numbers through the roof. He will have a
big You'll throw for three hundred yards, a couple of touchdowns.
Big night for Dak.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
They'll still get blown out. It pushed through that.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
Key line of seven. So we're all the way up
to plus eight or plus eight and a half for
the Cowboys. Forty seven and a half is the total.
So looking at the aerial assault, Ferguson got paid, CD's
gotten paid. You wish they had a little bit of
balance in the backfield. Whether Blue My Boy, Come My Guy,

(40:47):
and Javonte Williams are enough to give you any kind
of level of balance, I don't think so. I would
expect the Eagles to just run the ball, especially after
Jerry's quotes of Hey, we need to stop the run. Hey,
guess what, it's the Eagles on the other side that
offensive line. You're stopping nothing. Again.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
It's gonna be big stats wise. Otherwise, I think it's
gonna be the year for Dak. Hey, great stature for Dak.
But the Cowboys will be six and eleven. It'll still
be a blowout. But they'll move the football and they
will throw it all night. I'll take the back door
cover exit, out bout a Fresca exit swollen dome, Jason Smith,
Mike Harmon. Coming up next, we get some inside review
