poetic justice that you know here. I am feeling good
(01:10):
coming off the jets first game of the preseason. They
look great and all fast of the game. Oh man,
I got the replan NFL Network right now, everything went right,
Andy you hey, don't forget happy anniversary. And I'm like, uh, great,
ten years ago today I can and Polly broke Genosmith's
jaw and practice over a dispute over a plane ticket.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
So it's the yin and yang that I'm getting right now.
Maybe that was the punch that made him salty and
sad about his career where he still feels like everybody's
out to attack him. How about that?
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Maybe, But I mean ten years ago. I mean we
probably did that story a couple of times, probably had some.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Didn't extra quotes. We did it all the entire night.
We did it.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
No, no, no, But that's the joke, right, A lot
of random quotes about getting punched in the face that
became drops for years later on.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
So here we are.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Celebrating that and commemorating such a momentous occasion. But you
got the Jets and the Packers, two of my favorite teams.
Sarcasm bucket fea, you like great right on the underneath
my my feet here? Yeah, Green is great?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Man, great is great.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I'm from for the money. I mean, what is it gold?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
For the what?
Speaker 4 (02:19):
What was the Bishop?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Magic? Don wants quote one.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
For the money to for the show? Agree to get ready?
Now go cat go. I think that's no.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I was. I was kind of going down a different avenue.
But that'll work too. Okay, all right, let's rock around
the clock tonight.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
But no, Look, seriously, I am incredibly happy over this
weekend because for all this stuff, right, for all the
talk like we had, we got the Mets, four hours
of football and all big breakdown of of what we
saw this past weekend in the NFL Week one, I am.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I am.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I don't want to say back in because I've always
loved where things are going. But I'll tell you one
of the biggest stories this week end. You saw that
when Justin Fields ran for a touch it was Justin
Field's touchdown first drive for the Jets.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
How good he is?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Okay, Justin Fields was fine, right, He's gonna throw the
ball to the middle of the field all the time.
Were I don't think he's gonna throw one pass outside
the numbers because he can't complete him there. But everything
is in between the numbers. He's gonna have really good
success in the middle of the field. The Jets are
gonna have three guys with three hundred rushing attempts each
this year, including their quarterback right Brayleen Allen's he's kind
(03:27):
of like Derrick Henry the way, as big and young
as he is, he makes Breis Hall look like just
a guy. But I will say this, the one thing,
you know, we talk about winning the offseason.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Yep, well you lost to the Bears, but yeah, yeah,
but you're.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Wait, but winning the offseason overall in general, Uh, Jets
got the right guy as their head coach.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
There is I mean, I know that.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
It's been a never ending, you know, circle and cycle
of turnstile, but you got a guy coming in who
wanted to be there, who you know, learned under Bill Parcells.
And I watched the Jets come in and they looked
focused and ready and prepared. First string guys, second string guys.
They ran a screen to Stone Smart for a touchdown
that was about as perfect as you possibly could have it.
(04:11):
And these are the backups to the backups that are
doing it right. All the culture he has put in there.
I am all in because I love Aaron Glenn. I
think when we look back history looks back, we say, hey,
I can't believe he wasn't more sought after in the offseason.
You watch him help build the culture with it with
the Lions, and I got it. I'll tell you this
this put time, next year or after this season, it's
(04:32):
gonna be WHOA, the Jets are really kind of building something,
maybe sort of like the Lions are like that, or
sort of like the Chargers went from year one to
year two with Harball. Like we're gonna be saying those
kinds of things because Aaron Glenn seems like you're gonna
say anything like that. I'm telling you, I'm telling you
anything like that. I'm telling you they got the right guy.
Justin Fields may or may not be any good. I'm
(04:53):
with you on that. We only have one good receiver.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
We're not gonna spend money on other receivers when our
quarterback can only throw to one guy. Anybody out there
they could run a contest every week be the second
third receivers for the Jets. But overall, right now where
I'm sitting, the Jets got the right guy.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I am all in on Aaron Glenn. Well, I mean,
I was here with you. Remember when let's see you
went from Rex Ryan to Todd Bowles and then it
was Super Bowls and every quarterback that's come in for
the last decade. Do I name all those guys that
were gonna be all the different and they were all
gonna be legends one after another, including the flag carrying
(05:29):
man Aaron Rodgers himself. It was all gonna be great.
There were Super Bowls lining up all over the place.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Now.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
The only time he didn't really get thrilled you gave
it a yay was when Adam Gase got hired. I
had funds with him, and then the press conferences and
todcos whatever. But then Robert Sala showed up. Hey, culture,
he knows what's going on. He was in San Francisco
and he was he helped build the culture there and
he looked what he did, look what his defenses did.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
But no, no, no, I repeat, all, this.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Is what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
I already see the buy in. I already see the
attention they wanted stares with him and everything.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
They showed up for their first preseason game. It was
a business trip and they beat the Packers around the post.
There was nothing. The Packers had nothing going on in
this game. The Jets were clearly where which I'll take
you back to all the last few years. Where why
are we so flat? Why are we flat the third
week in a row? Why is there no attention to detail?
Why are we still making these mistakes?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I don't see that With Aaron Glenn. I really think
I think they got they got the right guy, and
I'm done Fivers. We're gonna look back and say, wow,
I'm really glad Aaron Glenn wanted that Jets job because
I mean, really, who else wants and unless it's the
only chance we gonna get to coach in the NFL,
So okay, I'm gonna take it, all right, fun.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Well, it's always the possibility. You gotta get the first
step in the door. And with the number of coaching
hires that are out there every year, the time would
have come. Right. We watched Ben Johnson and he waited
and decided, all right, the Bears are where I want
to go. Big mar get, big team. They've got Caleb Williams.
I can be the guy to fix him, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
For Aaron Glenn.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
The one thing I will say, right because you got
to go back to his playing career. Is that he
played there, so he's he's seen it, right, he's been around.
He wanted to go back to wood, he jones. I mean,
really that didn't scare so he wanted to go back.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I don't care why. I'm just glad he's here, right,
Like I don't care why you're here. I don't care
how you got it. I'm just so glad that you're here.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
But the old rule of thumb, right, do something, even
even if it's wrong. Right, We go back and we
look at all the different things that were enacted by
government officials, some good, some bad, some ugly whatever. But
go back into you know when when FDR was running
a buck and you had to learn all of those
abbreviations UH for your tests in whatever in civics and
(07:53):
history and whatever else. And it was one thing after
that and that didn't work, Fine, rename it, retool it,
put it under this guy's purview. And that's kind of
what you're doing with the Jets. I just want to
do something different. I want to even if that's wrong too.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I know I feel like I'm falling for it.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
But they got the right thing, and the tail pipe man,
they got the right guy. Speaking of getting the right guy, Okay,
because now it's your turn, mister smarty pants, mister Helper.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I've been the guy against this regime the entire time.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Your fan base needs to chill the blank out man. Okay,
chill the Caleb Williams doesn't even play this weekend and
it's we gotta get rid of him. Look how good
Tyson Bagen is. Come on, man, your fan base is awful.
They are delusional and it doesn't really matter what happens
on the field. Again, if Caleb Williams had a bad
(08:42):
start and Beijing came in and was great, Like if
it was like JJ McCarthy and then you watch Sam
Howell come in, Okay, I understand it, but he didn't
even play Okay, starters dating play, but beijit who plays
okay and has show him that hey as a backup,
he has been Okay, great, that's awesome. But it's like, oh,
look how good he is? All eyes all week and
was all like they're waiting for Caleb Williams to just suck,
(09:03):
And you guys gotta just chill the blank out man,
because the number one thing this is year one with
Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams. They are gonna get all
year to get it right. Okay, Williams went number one
in the draft a year ago. He's gonna get all
year to make this thing work. Now after this year,
if he stinks, could I see it? Yeah, But this
year is all gonna be about Johnson and Caleb Williams
(09:25):
and Kennet work. And I'm telling you it's gonna work.
Johnson's a quarterback friendly coach. He is gonna get the
best out of Caleb Williams. If Caleb Williams isn't a
four thousand yard passer with thirty touchdowns, I would be surprised.
They have a lot of weapons on offense, and they're
gonna be able to use all of them. And it
may not be wins in law. They may suddenly be
all wealthy. They're gonna be eleven and seven, but they
(09:47):
may wind up being a five hundred team. But their
offense should put tons of points on the board. But
the fact is you don't even have hope for that.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
It's like, oh, we really want do you guys really
want to put Tyson Bagen in the game.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Here's the thing, Come on, First off, I want to
go back. Last week we commemorated the fortieth anniversary of
Peewee's Big Adventure. So I'm Robert your glue in terms
of delusional fan bases. Okay, whatever bounces off me sticks
to you. But as far as the beaged thing goes, look,
we got to see him a couple of years ago
and there were a lot of things to like. It's like,
(10:19):
all right, this is not the worst case scenario. If
you don't end up pulling off the trade, that then
nets you the number one and eventually Caleb Williams. So
I think to some level, it's the acceptance that you've
got to backup, that you've got a little bit of
proof of concept and with all of these new shiny
toys you talk of in the receiving cores and with
(10:40):
a better offensive line that at worst case scenario and
you have to break glass, this guy will be okay. Now,
what has not helped is the way the Bears training
camp has been covered. Look, Caleb did a lot of
things last year that we're pretty exciting, right, and we
go back to his USC days. There's a lot to
like about parts of the game. Now it's a matter
of refining it, bringing it together, learning to work under center,
(11:03):
learning to play on rhythm and on time, which is
what the NFL is all about, and what Ben Johnson
is absolutely been crushing him for when it comes to practice,
right is the reps and getting the ball out. What
hasn't helped is some national voices that take a little
bit of a story or a little video clip of
six seconds of Hey, I'm trying to get three footballs
(11:25):
towards this net as fast as I can. I miss
because we've got a wager that that becomes the Wow,
he can't even hit the net in this drill man.
Look how terribly is Yes, and that became the narrative. Yes,
but that became emblematic of anything else going on. Now.
The has the review of Caleb Williams from the local
press that's at practice every.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Day been glowing.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
No, there's a lot of hiccups, and that's to be
expected when you're going from anything goes I sit in
the film room by myself to I've got a coach
who It's about rhythm, it's about timing, it's about culture,
it's about building based on that lame duck whatever the
hell they tried to put out last year before they
finally got right. Oh and Caitlin Williams also had how
(12:07):
many guys were play callers in OC's.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
By the end, eleven eleven guys.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I don't know that it got to that many.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
To think your daughters.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Called it called the game, called the game one time. Well,
I mean there was a contest and they did win it.
His Chicago voter early and oftense, it.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Was like Carbart Michigan when he got suspended and they
kept having different people serving as head coach and coordinators.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Oh, it's different people every week.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
You're gonna sit in that chair for the half, but
it's gonna be radioed in from somewhere aparts unknown. But
all of that to say, am I optimistic on the
wind total?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
No?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Do I hope that by week four, week five you
see some semblance of consistency with this offense. Look, you
rebuilt the offensive line, so all the excuse of their
their turnstyles and all of that that people were making
to try to get to that sixty eight sack total. Again,
I think there was a giant pie chart and Caleb
was responsible for more than his fair share last year.
(12:59):
Does that get clean up with the guy that's all
about precision. That will kick your ass off a practice field.
I would hope so. But if it doesn't, hey you're
going back to the well in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
But you're getting he's he's your guy all year. Don't
sit here and pine and wine for Tyson Bajo olver.
I mean, come on, man, get sucked into the man.
Come on, You're like the Seattle see.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Off general manager in draft day.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Come on, man.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
As soon as Kevin cost says I've read the message boards,
he gets all nervous. You guys said, you got Sean
McBride who doesn't know how the salary cap work comedy affairs.
You guys just need to chill on the All bears ready,
I forbid you.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I got KD working on a whole bunch of burner accounts.
Are bears read at the door?
Speaker 4 (13:40):
He's got a little time before that season opener for
the Rocks. I here, Ben Johnson doesn't know what he's doing.

(15:30):
coming up in a minute. But uh hey, I know
we've only had one week down in the NFL preseason,
but apparently Dak Prescott has.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
The script for this season.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
It does.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
He was seen but prior to the Cowboys Rams game
this weekend telling Dan Cronke, Rams owner that will see
you in the NFC Championship game. So now we know
Cowboys Rams NFC Championship game like it's nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Look at that, we know already going on back way back.
So how am I supposed to watch these two hundred
and seventy two plus the rest of these preseason games.
It's kind of like watching a watching a prequel when
you know how it like you.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
I know these guys make it to the end, but
you got to find the drama in other places. Why
stuff going back? Man showing a prequel. He is known
to us as longtime friend of the show on Twitter
at Jason lock In four. He is on Odyssey Washington
Post one oh five seven the fan in Baltimore, and
I believe he's got the Dodgers on the money line tonight.
It is Jason lock and four. What's happening, man?
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Well, I'm wishing it was the money line, right, It's
the run line, all right, the run line Brewers, run
line cash reds to lead after three plus one twenty
cash reds first five money line cash. Now, let's let's
get the Dodgers. Dodgers, Dodgers doing that thing. I know
it's Malmo plus four seventy five on the money line cash.
(16:53):
That won't really be feeling again. Look at that fire, baby.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Yeah, let go, I was you expecting to start with
you thinging You're going to feel bad from from the
you know, from the the gambling edge of it. Now
that we know that the Cowboys and the Rams are
going to be in the NFC Championship game, that's going
to take the odds on those teams all the way
down now, I mean Dak said out.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Yeah, I'll tell yeah, I will still be fading the Cowboys.
I'm bullets on the Rams, but they've got to get
the quarterback back. Uh. I think it'll be the Packers
and the Rams in the NFC Championship game. Again if
Mat Stafford's back, UH can hold up. And no, Dallas
is not going anywhere. Dallas is not. But anyway, and
(17:36):
when the odds come out for this weekend and the
first half, like the Ravens are favorite, and the money
is already coming in and you can see that you're
getting diminishing returns on the Ravens. But I really just
want to play the Ravens in the first half because
I don't want to have any money tied to Devin
Leary when he's pretending to be a quarterback in the
second half. But Ravens first half against the Cowboys, I
(17:59):
will feel pretty strongly about.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
So okay, so if I can, if I can play
it forward here, you like the Packers in the NFC
Championship game. The Jets just work the Packers over week
one of the preseasons.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
So no game is how what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
You know, I'm bullsh on the Jets. No, I love
you know, justin Field over five and a half rushing touchdowns.
Come on, man, he's going to have that before before
I'm giving out Halloween candy. I like them over the
five hundred and fifty rushing yards. I like the Jets
playing an all win total over eight eight and a half.
I told you guys, I think the Jets can win
(18:34):
more games than they lose. I think the Jets defense
will be pretty menacing, and I think they'll have an
identity back on offense, and they'll be able to control
the football and haul and fields are going to do
some interesting things playing off each other, running out of
the pistol. But yeah, I mean, they still have a
ways to go, but I think they can be you know, like,
(18:57):
I think they could be the second best team in
that division. Like I've had fun playing you know, Buffalo one,
Jets two. You know I've played Buffalo one, Jets two,
New England three, Miami four, you know, futures in that
order as well, in that division. I yes, I think
the Jets defense will make them the second best team
in the vision to keep with.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Our odds fun all right, eleven to one to start
week one, Shador Sanders after Friday's exhibition.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
What say you, that's Joe Flacco is going to start
week one? That that I really wouldn't play in those
markets too much other than and I hadn't even looked,
but it's got to be really talking for Flacco.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
And minus with that minus one fifty six.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
I'm surprised. It's Frankly, actually, that's that's actually pretty low.
It's it's Joe Flacco unless he gets hurt, which which
could happen, but he'd have to play to get hurt.
And it seems like they got him wrapped in copious
amounts of bubble wrap right now, as they should. Uh
So door standers will play this year, they'll get to
that point and they'll probably get through it sooner around
(20:00):
then later. Just I don't think Joe Flacco was surviving
in the first seven weeks of the season.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
They're going to start all.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Four guys Jay, like I said last week, they're going
to start all four guys at one point this year.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
I don't know that ticket starts there because I don't
know that pickets like I don't know why he's there now,
and I really don't know. But when they're zero and
five and they turn the Sanders, what do you really
need picket there for too? Right? Because at that point,
if that doesn't go well, you're going to Gabriel, You're
not going to pickets. So I think there's a chance
three of the four play. But like if I think
(20:32):
it'll be Flacco, I don't think it lasts more than
five or six weeks, and I think there could be
Sanders after that.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
What did you make of his debut overall? What do
you think?
Speaker 5 (20:41):
I like it? The first the first series was which
you would expect. It was a lot of butterflies, an
old boy, this is a little different. And then he
settled down and he made some plays, and yes, there
is still that tendency two when you drop back in
the pocket and then you start and you know he's
not super I felt I. And then you keep drifting
(21:03):
and drifting and drifting like you're not going to be
able to bail yourself out. That's he got away with
it one time. You know he holds the ball. Kind
of ball security is something he's going to have to
work on because he's going to be under duress some
because that offensive line is not what it used to be.
But like, he can make some plays, and he can
throw the football and he's not going to get rattled
(21:25):
and he can take a damn hit, that's for sure.
So he should not have fallen as far as he did.
And I think there'll be some teams that look back
on it and say, you know, we could have probably
handled him because a lot of the issues that they're
concerned about it it's not so much on field as
(21:47):
you know, all the noise and distractions and you know,
will his dad be a problem and all that boogeyman
bs that really tends to kind of fade once a
guy does start playing.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
I'll have to go back and look and see if
Tony Grosse wrote anything nice nice about him after he
was gett fronted in the locker.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
And the other day we had some pretty good series, man.
I mean, look again, it's only pre season football, but
he by no means looked overwhelmed or pete down the leg.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Now solid solid performance overall? Is that that got going
Staying in the North though over to Pittsburgh, Cam Hayward
saying his hold in might become an into the season
kind of system. He watched his line made get paid.
Now he wants to rework a deal he signed twelve
months ago.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Yeah, that's the thing, and he'd make it fifteen million
dollars a year. And you know, he just agreed to this,
and I mean, I guess there's some things they'll do
to sweeten the pot even more. And he did have
a hell of a season, but he's a little longer
in the two than his buddy Watt, and it's just
a different scenario. And frankly, if they're going to be
(22:56):
as good as they could be, and I think that's
going to reach fire a little less of Kim Hayward
on the field. I don't know that they can ride
him as hard as they did last year and think
that's kind of goes super well. They've smoothed it out
with everybody else. I think they will smooth this out
with him. They're going to have to turn on the
charm a little bit, have a you know, the right
(23:18):
bedside manner here, and maybe sweeten the pot in terms
of incentives. But like this is this is a pretty
new contract and it was a shorter term deal that
he just agreed to. And again, like it's not like
he's making four million dollars or something like that. So
I think he's going to have to maybe come to
grips with it a little bit too.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Jason Locking for our guest on Twitter at Jason Locking
for the Jason Smiths Er with Mike Carmon. All Right, now,
outside of the games, we got this report today that
NFL teams are monitoring Tyree kill situation in Miami, thinking
that potentially they might want to move on fro him.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
There could be a trait to move at some point.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Well, what are you hearing on this?
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Wait a minute, come on, this guy, this guy said
he wanted and they were trying to peddle them and
they couldn't get anything more, Like what are we talking?
What alternative reality is this? Like, I mean, is this
coming from Greer? Is why would any if he's even
trying to peddle this, why would anybody believe it? Like
their quarterback just came out on the record a week
(24:18):
ago and said, yeah, he's gonna have to pay more
than lip service around here, Like he's got to rebuild trust,
not just with me, with everybody, Like, I mean, what huh,
I'm monitoring the situation people don't want him like he's
a declining asset. He brings all kinds of baggage, and
it's one thing to put up with it when he's
one of the most prolific big play guys in the league.
(24:41):
But like Man, he certainly seems to have lost the
staff he quit on his team last year. That's this
is now a second team in relatively recent time, that
despite him being very productive for them, wanted to get
out from under him. They couldn't. I don't know, guys,
I don't I mean, why huh? They should have moved
(25:05):
him for nothing at all. It should have already been
additioned by subtraction. But it's a cumbersome contract and it's
again a player who has a lot of stuff attached
to him that isn't particularly pleasant. So at some point,
you know, people get desperate, injuries happen, and he could
(25:26):
be a salary dump at some point in time. But
the idea that people are lining up to figure out
what their offers should be to try to pry him
out of there or whatever is just absolutely ludicrous.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
We got another contender in the hype Train candidacy. We
had Shdor Sanders Friday and then we got a little
bit of Jackson Dark and people are already trying to
jump him into the front. I mean Dable and Shane,
two guys that were kind of watching in terms of
the temperature of their seats Jason. So what do we
make of how that quarterback derby will be handled?
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Guys who they think can play in the league for
at least a period of time. I don't think that
they're notive enough to say he's got twelve to sixteen
games out of Russell or Jamis Winston that they're gonna
want to see. But do they each have six in them?
And then where are we, you know, as we head
into the winter and how good is this defense? I
(26:20):
think it's pretty damn good? And how competitive are we?
Or have we reached a point where for the sake
of our season? And yeah, maybe to cover our asses too,
we start to look at Jackson Dark, like, I don't
think he's going to do anything in these games that
alters the idea that they go in with Russell Wilson
and they see that first, you know, then it's probably
(26:42):
Jamis up next, but but not, you know, maybe not
absolutely positively. Jamis could end up just serving as the
backup to both those guys. But I'd be really surprised
that they got away from at least seeing if they
can get some stability from Russ Wilson, if they could
protect the football with Wissell Wilson and see what kind
(27:04):
of damage that defense can do.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
He's on Twitter at Jason lock and four. That is
at Jason Locke and four also Odyssey Washington Post one

Speaker 1 (28:12):
What's trending in the wide world of sports. But guy's

Speaker 3 (28:18):
He didn't really do.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Anything this weekend, and people said, bring me someone else.
It's Steve Disago, and.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Yet I'm here.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
Late night baseball. We got the Angels ahead of the
Dodgers two nothing in the top of the fourth. The
Padres are scoreless at San Francisco top of the fourth.
The Dodgers are the first place team in the NL West,
but just two games over San Diego.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
That lead was nine in early July.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
The Dodgers will play against the Padres head to head
the next two weekends. It's Houston holding on seven to
six over the Red Sox in the top of the eighth.
Starter for Boston, Garrett Crochet thirteen and four this year,
gave up the first five runs in four innings of workfact,
Alex bregman X of Houston did hit a two run
homer for Boston in the first. Red Sox down one
(29:01):
in the eighth, Diamondbacks lead six to five at Texas
top of the ninth, still a rain delay in Chicago.
Tigers top of the ninth lead two to one at
the White Sox. Saint Louis with two runs in the
bottom of the eighth, beat Colorado three to two. The
Rockies have lost eight in a row. Kansas City has
seven to four winner over Washington. Milwaukee won its tenth
straight game, seven to one against Pittsburgh. The Yankees hit
(29:24):
four solo homers in a six to two decision over Minnesota.
Philadelphia's Kyle Schwarber hit his forty second homer this year.
Phil's won four to one at Cincinnati. The Phillies are
the first place team in the NL East, now six
games over the idle Mets, who've been idle for the
last seven games that they all lost.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Rams quarterback you were idle the rest of August, I
could say they can hold onto the wildcard.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
Well, the Reds did lose in that game against Philly.
You know, the Reds were only a game and a
half out of the last EDL wildcard behind the Mets.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Too starts, so you're kind of a Phillies.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
See.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
That's how much it's changed for me. Where a couple
of weeks ago would have been want the Reds to
take care of the Phillies and message, now it's like, Okay, give.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Up on the division.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
We're not we're not getting first place anymore. Come on, Phillies,
looking babe, Sure.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
We're hit another home run.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
We're to mid August this week, six games behind and
going south.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Yeah, we've been traveling south for a lot. Predictions looking
pretty good right now.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Yeah, we've been We've been on. We've been on the
traveling south. I mean, we're we're going downhill traveling south.
We're not first half.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
You're in a new another state, not even in New York.
You're still traveling.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
So don't even have to have the engine on the car.
We're just going so downhill. We're just gonna go really fast.
Speaker 7 (30:33):
Fee if things going south the Rams talked all week
and hey, Matthew Stafford's gonna make an appearance at practice
on Monday. Spoiler or not misspractice again. He's been out
with a bad back. He had a pregame workout Saturday,
made over sixty throws. Didn't feel good enough today. Jimmy
Garoppolo is still getting first team reps for the Rams.
Stafford has yet to practice in Rams camp this year.
(30:55):
The forty nine Ers say wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk might
return in mid October after last year's knee injuries. Eagles
Pro bowlguard land and Dickerson will have a procedure on
his knee. He was carted off at practice Sunday. Still
hopes to play in the opener next month. Dolphins running
back Alexander Madison had season ending next surgery after being
hurt Sunday. Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson will play this Saturday
(31:17):
off the bench against the Packers. Daniel Jones will start
Richardson in case you didn't hear return to practice last
Saturday despite last week's dislocated finger. The NFL preseason resumes
this Friday with two games. Most teams play this Saturday,
and there is a game on Fox TV this Sunday night,
with Chicago hosting Buffalo. Texas is number one in AP's
preseason college football poll, barely ahead of number two Penn State.
(31:40):
Of the sixty five first place votes, Texas received twenty five,
Penn State got twenty three, and there's only one WNBA
game tonight at Golden State. The Vulcris are leading twenty
one eighteen over the Connecticut Sun mid second quarter. Connecticut
a team that's for sale for starters and five and
twenty five at the moment.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve, though your next success
can begin sooner than you think. At University of Maryland
Global Campus, undergraduate and most graduate classes start August thirteenth,
apply now and say with no application fee. Learn more
at UMGC dot edu. That's UMGC dot edu.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
So with Connecticut at five and twenty five, do I
get a discount if I want to get together a
group and buy them, like it's a distressed property.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Like along like a group on like oh hey, I
got this on the thing you want if you want
to buy a team.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
But more it's like you know, you've got a house
of you know that's had some issues. Maybe they've been
in the police blot. Sure, maybe you know there's some
some active mold that you're gonna have to clean up
or a new route that you need. So it's a
distressed property. You know, there's a divorce proceedings. I mean,
I don't know what it was.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
What was if it was divorce proceedings with a bad
roof that had a lot of mold in it, and
there was some sort of police activity, some sort of
stuff happened.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
So there's a multiplier there. Okay, there's all I'm gonna
get well under market. I'm gonna have to build up
its reputation, have to do a lot of work so
they don't look at that house like you' said a
completely new house.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Yeah, very good.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
I just want the land congratulate. Well, congratulations the Connecticut Harmin's.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
You bought it.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
I would rename that so fast exit out out of
Fresca Exit swalling down. Thanks to Jason Locking for for
stopping by as always. Coming up next, Yes, we have
the play of the day, and I'll tell you exactly
how a big quarterback derby in.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
The NFL is going down.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
We told you how I was gonna end with Daniel
Jones and Anthony rich In last week, How is the
Biggest Quarterback Derby gonna end? We'll tell you that's next
right here, Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (33:35):

Big Quarterback Derby coming up in a minute.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
But first it's time for the Play of the Day.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Brought to you by ty iraq dot Com For over
forty years, tire Rack's been up Customers find the right
tires for how what where they drive, Shipped fast and free,
backed by free Road, has protection with convenient installation options
like mobile tire installation. Tire act dot Com is the
way tire buying should be. And well, I have a
sneaking suspicion the p it's gonna be reasoned this. The
(34:19):
play of the day is gonna be something that was
so good yesterday. It's gotta be the play of the
day today too.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Slip on a deep right, it is back.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
How Isaac Collins walks it off against the Mets.
Speaker 7 (34:40):
You can't make it up.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Yeah, you can't.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Brewers Radio on the call, Mets up five. Nothing doesn't matter,
doesn't matter. They find a way to lose, doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
I will say this though, Okay, I do want to
say this, right, I gotta say this. Of all the
things happening right now with the Bleep and Mets and
why they suck so bad? What did I tell you
in April was gonna be the thing? Hey, Mets pitching
lab is great. What they've done, Manaia and monts all.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
This is great.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
What are they gonna do in August when all of
these guys hit their innings limits?
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Right?
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Because Senga hasn't pitched in a year, right, Clay Holmes
has never been a starting pitcher, right, all of these
things right, Griffin Cannon that he never had, but now
he's heard he's out for the year. Tyler McGill, guess
what he's hurt. They're hoping he comes back. Him coming
back is a big thing for the Mets. But all
of these guys who have never pitched as many innings
as they have, I said, what's gonna happen when they
(35:30):
hit their innings limit in August? And here's where they are.
Whi's been three weeks a month since anybody's gone more
than five innings. I said this, This is why I
can be a GM I said in April, this is
a great plan, man, great plan. But in August they're
all gonna hit their innings limits and they're gonna run
out of gas.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
So what are we gonna do? Tada? Here we are.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Well.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Sternsy failed you. Oh, Sternsy failed you. You needed not one,
not two, maybe three arms, the kind of mixing match
between extending your darters and penn and you got nothing. Yeah,
sharp stick in the eye. Yeah, Isaac Collins, get it
done now. Somewhere somehow They in minnes Milwaukee. I'm thinking
(36:11):
about Minnesota in milwaukee'suck. If they have enough people to
play game, everything has gone right right. Jackson Jurio hasn't
played since July twenty nine, doesn't matter, he's missed the
entire way. Andrew Vaughan hitting three fifties since coming over
from the White Tips, laying down bunts, yeah, to help
them win.
Speaker 7 (36:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Zarowski had to go to il. Yes, and once he does,
doing his off time, he's pulling big, big money charts.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Mega charge.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Yeah, yeah, I know, just screwing around.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Hey look what I got.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
I know, man, I know, I know.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
Meanwhile, the Cubs can't get out of their own way.
So just like the Fills have runaway and hidding your division, yeah,
Brewers are doing the same. Uh so we have more
baseball on the way.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
I am sure Frostburg will jump in and say, talk
more baseball if the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Take the lead over the Angels.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
But uh, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
We talked a little bit about this with Jason lock
And for a few minutes ago and one of the
big quarterback derbys, even though it doesn't seem like a derby. Now,
I'll tell you how things are gonna end with the Giants,
especially after this week. Jackson Dart has a debut that's
a little uneven, but he makes a couple of really
good throws. He looked good, he was decisive. His camp
is going well for him. Notice how no one's talking
(37:19):
about Russell Wilson's a guy, no know Russe Wilson. There's
been no talk about Russell Wilson. How it's gonna go
is this Jackson Dart's not gonna start the season because
Russell Wilson's not gonna do anything to lose the job.
They gave Russell Wilson the gig. They want to bring
Jackson Dart along and make sure they put him in
a position to succeed. So what's it gonna be. It's
gonna be Russell Wilson for the first part of the year,
and there will be some games where he's fine, and
(37:42):
then he'll run out of gas just like he did
last year, and by week eight nine ish midway point
of the season, it's gonna be time for Jackson Dart.
And you have to do it because he's a first
round pick. Right first round quarterbacks don't sit on the
bleeping bench. It doesn't go that way for it in time,
I Sason, you're a first round quarterback, you are going
(38:02):
to play. So how it's gonna go is kind of
how it went for Russell Wilson. Latches some weeks where
he looks good, some weeks where he doesn't. Obviously, he's
not in as good a team as he was last year.
Giants defense is pretty good, but not quite the team
that he was. Overall, where hey, just come out, don't
make mistakes, execute two really good running backs.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
All this going on.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
But this is kind of how it goes is Russell
Wilson's at the end. He's gonna end the season on
the bench, which is gonna be sad for him, backing
up Jackson Dart. By mid season, Dart will be in
because the way the season's gonna go for the Giants,
they're gonna lose in that division because all three teams
are better than they are. It's gonna be a lost year.
It's gonna we got to see the quarterback. We got
to see him and the pressure to play him, especially
(38:40):
with Dable under pressure of saying, hey, we got to
show something, right, I don't want to hit the off
season and the Giants go, hey, that was great, but
we have somebody else coming in now that's that's gonna
coach and figure it out.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
So the the.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Likelihood of them going to him because he was a
first round pick, because they're gonna want to show something
going forward, there's a glimpse. Give me another year to
work with this situation. You're gonna see Jackson Dart by
mid season. It'll be Russell Wilson to start mid season
Jackson Dart.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
The only reason it wouldn't is if Russell Wilson's playing well,
and he's leading them well enough to bride that defense
into some wins. Look, Tracy was pretty solid as a
running back last year. Unfortunately Saquon Barkley went and was
All World, so it looked like a huge loss. How
many wins would he have been worth? Probably not very many.
But what you're looking at for Dable and Shane right
(39:26):
now is to say, hey, we drafted this guy, we
should get a shot to run with it. So unless
Russell Wilson's playing like he's twenty twelve, like his hair's
on fire, and he's running around and making plays and
his postgame speeches are more than just internet memes, then yeah,
Jackson Dart will be that guy. Jameis Winston will end
up quarterbacking for somebody else as a break glass in
(39:48):
case of emergency guy, someplays else. With the number of
starters we talked about it three straight years, you're into
mid sixties and higher for the number of guys to
start a game, So he'll find a place somewhere else.
But for Russell Wilson, yeah, your best hope is that
he gets you through the first half of the season,
and that Jackson Dart comes in and he's still playing
(40:09):
meaningful football and not just doing an audition and trying
not to get himself killed as part of a bad team.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
Yeah. Look, the Giants, as long as.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Jackson Dart shows Look again, being a first round pick,
you're gonna have a little bit more time. But as
long as he shows, now, hey, it's not too big
for me, right, that's what I always say. Okay, great,
they feel really good after preseason week one that by
mid time, midseason rolls around. He's our guy.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Yeah, but believe it though. If Russell Wilson is playing well,
then yeah, you got Jackson Dart late in the first
You don't have to play him, right, keep learning, keep
sitting whatever. Russell Wilson could be useful that way, But
we have no expectations they win totally over under his
five and a half. They may overachieve like your Jets
and the six and a half that that's placed at
(40:54):
that you're bullish on. Maybe that's the case, but it's
gonna be a long, long grind to get to that.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Week eight to ten, that's dark time Wilson to start,
then it's dark. That should be the slogan on Giants
T shirt Wilson to start. Then it's dark. I don't
know that Russ would sign off on that, no, but
you can. You can make them and not license them.
It's fun coming up next to a Titanic story out
of college football Fox.

Andy you hey, don't forget happy anniversary. And I'm like, uh, great,
ten years ago today I can and Polly broke Genosmith's
jaw and practice over a dispute over a plane ticket.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
So it's the yin and yang that I'm getting right now.
Maybe that was the punch that made him salty and
sad about his career where he still feels like everybody's
out to attack him. How about that?
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Maybe, But I mean ten years ago. I mean we
probably did that story a couple of times, probably had some.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Didn't extra quotes. We did it all the entire night.
We did it.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
No, no, no, But that's the joke, right, A lot
of random quotes about getting punched in the face that
became drops for years later on.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
So here we are.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Celebrating that and commemorating such a momentous occasion. But you
got the Jets and the Packers, two of my favorite teams.

For the money to for the show? Agree to get ready?
Now go cat go. I think that's no.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I was. I was kind of going down a different avenue.
But that'll work too. Okay, all right, let's rock around
the clock tonight.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
But no, Look, seriously, I am incredibly happy over this
weekend because for all this stuff, right, for all the
talk like we had, we got the Mets, four hours
of football and all big breakdown of of what we
saw this past weekend in the NFL Week one, I am.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I am.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I don't want to say back in because I've always
loved where things are going. But I'll tell you one
of the biggest stories this week end. You saw that
when Justin Fields ran for a touch it was Justin
Field's touchdown first drive for the Jets.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
How good he is?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Okay, Justin Fields was fine, right, He's gonna throw the
ball to the middle of the field all the time.
Were I don't think he's gonna throw one pass outside
the numbers because he can't complete him there. But everything
is in between the numbers. He's gonna have really good
success in the middle of the field. The Jets are
gonna have three guys with three hundred rushing attempts each
this year, including their quarterback right Brayleen Allen's he's kind
(03:27):
of like Derrick Henry the way, as big and young
as he is, he makes Breis Hall look like just
a guy. But I will say this, the one thing,
you know, we talk about winning the offseason.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Yep, well you lost to the Bears, but yeah, yeah,
but you're.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Wait, but winning the offseason overall in general, Uh, Jets
got the right guy as their head coach.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
There is I mean, I know that.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
It's been a never ending, you know, circle and cycle
of turnstile, but you got a guy coming in who
wanted to be there, who you know, learned under Bill Parcells.
And I watched the Jets come in and they looked
focused and ready and prepared. First string guys, second string guys.
They ran a screen to Stone Smart for a touchdown
that was about as perfect as you possibly could have it.
(04:11):
And these are the backups to the backups that are
doing it right. All the culture he has put in there.
I am all in because I love Aaron Glenn. I
think when we look back history looks back, we say, hey,
I can't believe he wasn't more sought after in the offseason.
You watch him help build the culture with it with
the Lions, and I got it. I'll tell you this
this put time, next year or after this season, it's
(04:32):
gonna be WHOA, the Jets are really kind of building something,
maybe sort of like the Lions are like that, or
sort of like the Chargers went from year one to
year two with Harball. Like we're gonna be saying those
kinds of things because Aaron Glenn seems like you're gonna
say anything like that. I'm telling you, I'm telling you
anything like that. I'm telling you they got the right guy.
Justin Fields may or may not be any good. I'm
(04:53):
with you on that. We only have one good receiver.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
We're not gonna spend money on other receivers when our
quarterback can only throw to one guy. Anybody out there
they could run a contest every week be the second
third receivers for the Jets. But overall, right now where
I'm sitting, the Jets got the right guy.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I am all in on Aaron Glenn. Well, I mean,
I was here with you. Remember when let's see you
went from Rex Ryan to Todd Bowles and then it
was Super Bowls and every quarterback that's come in for
the last decade. Do I name all those guys that
were gonna be all the different and they were all
gonna be legends one after another, including the flag carrying
(05:29):
man Aaron Rodgers himself. It was all gonna be great.
There were Super Bowls lining up all over the place.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Now.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
The only time he didn't really get thrilled you gave
it a yay was when Adam Gase got hired. I
had funds with him, and then the press conferences and
todcos whatever. But then Robert Sala showed up. Hey, culture,
he knows what's going on. He was in San Francisco
and he was he helped build the culture there and
he looked what he did, look what his defenses did.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
But no, no, no, I repeat, all, this.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Is what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
I already see the buy in. I already see the
attention they wanted stares with him and everything.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
They showed up for their first preseason game. It was
a business trip and they beat the Packers around the post.
There was nothing. The Packers had nothing going on in
this game. The Jets were clearly where which I'll take
you back to all the last few years. Where why
are we so flat? Why are we flat the third
week in a row? Why is there no attention to detail?
Why are we still making these mistakes?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I don't see that With Aaron Glenn. I really think
I think they got they got the right guy, and
I'm done Fivers. We're gonna look back and say, wow,
I'm really glad Aaron Glenn wanted that Jets job because
I mean, really, who else wants and unless it's the
only chance we gonna get to coach in the NFL,
So okay, I'm gonna take it, all right, fun.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Well, it's always the possibility. You gotta get the first
step in the door. And with the number of coaching
hires that are out there every year, the time would
have come. Right. We watched Ben Johnson and he waited
and decided, all right, the Bears are where I want
to go. Big mar get, big team. They've got Caleb Williams.
I can be the guy to fix him, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
For Aaron Glenn.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
The one thing I will say, right because you got
to go back to his playing career. Is that he
played there, so he's he's seen it, right, he's been around.
He wanted to go back to wood, he jones. I mean,
really that didn't scare so he wanted to go back.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I don't care why. I'm just glad he's here, right,
Like I don't care why you're here. I don't care
how you got it. I'm just so glad that you're here.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
But the old rule of thumb, right, do something, even
even if it's wrong. Right, We go back and we
look at all the different things that were enacted by
government officials, some good, some bad, some ugly whatever. But
go back into you know when when FDR was running
a buck and you had to learn all of those
abbreviations UH for your tests in whatever in civics and
(07:53):
history and whatever else. And it was one thing after
that and that didn't work, Fine, rename it, retool it,
put it under this guy's purview. And that's kind of
what you're doing with the Jets. I just want to
do something different. I want to even if that's wrong too.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I know I feel like I'm falling for it.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
But they got the right thing, and the tail pipe man,
they got the right guy. Speaking of getting the right guy, Okay,
because now it's your turn, mister smarty pants, mister Helper.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I've been the guy against this regime the entire time.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Your fan base needs to chill the blank out man. Okay,
chill the Caleb Williams doesn't even play this weekend and
it's we gotta get rid of him. Look how good
Tyson Bagen is. Come on, man, your fan base is awful.
They are delusional and it doesn't really matter what happens
on the field. Again, if Caleb Williams had a bad
(08:42):
start and Beijing came in and was great, Like if
it was like JJ McCarthy and then you watch Sam
Howell come in, Okay, I understand it, but he didn't
even play Okay, starters dating play, but beijit who plays
okay and has show him that hey as a backup,
he has been Okay, great, that's awesome. But it's like, oh,
look how good he is? All eyes all week and
was all like they're waiting for Caleb Williams to just suck,
(09:03):
And you guys gotta just chill the blank out man,
because the number one thing this is year one with
Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams. They are gonna get all
year to get it right. Okay, Williams went number one
in the draft a year ago. He's gonna get all
year to make this thing work. Now after this year,
if he stinks, could I see it? Yeah, But this
year is all gonna be about Johnson and Caleb Williams
(09:25):
and Kennet work. And I'm telling you it's gonna work.
Johnson's a quarterback friendly coach. He is gonna get the
best out of Caleb Williams. If Caleb Williams isn't a
four thousand yard passer with thirty touchdowns, I would be surprised.
They have a lot of weapons on offense, and they're
gonna be able to use all of them. And it
may not be wins in law. They may suddenly be
all wealthy. They're gonna be eleven and seven, but they
(09:47):
may wind up being a five hundred team. But their
offense should put tons of points on the board. But
the fact is you don't even have hope for that.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
It's like, oh, we really want do you guys really
want to put Tyson Bagen in the game.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Here's the thing, Come on, First off, I want to
go back. Last week we commemorated the fortieth anniversary of
Peewee's Big Adventure. So I'm Robert your glue in terms
of delusional fan bases. Okay, whatever bounces off me sticks
to you. But as far as the beaged thing goes, look,
we got to see him a couple of years ago
and there were a lot of things to like. It's like,
(10:19):
all right, this is not the worst case scenario. If
you don't end up pulling off the trade, that then
nets you the number one and eventually Caleb Williams. So
I think to some level, it's the acceptance that you've
got to backup, that you've got a little bit of
proof of concept and with all of these new shiny
toys you talk of in the receiving cores and with
(10:40):
a better offensive line that at worst case scenario and
you have to break glass, this guy will be okay. Now,
what has not helped is the way the Bears training
camp has been covered. Look, Caleb did a lot of
things last year that we're pretty exciting, right, and we
go back to his USC days. There's a lot to
like about parts of the game. Now it's a matter
of refining it, bringing it together, learning to work under center,
(11:03):
learning to play on rhythm and on time, which is
what the NFL is all about, and what Ben Johnson
is absolutely been crushing him for when it comes to practice,
right is the reps and getting the ball out. What
hasn't helped is some national voices that take a little
bit of a story or a little video clip of
six seconds of Hey, I'm trying to get three footballs
(11:25):
towards this net as fast as I can. I miss
because we've got a wager that that becomes the Wow,
he can't even hit the net in this drill man.
Look how terribly is Yes, and that became the narrative. Yes,
but that became emblematic of anything else going on. Now.
The has the review of Caleb Williams from the local
press that's at practice every.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Day been glowing.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
No, there's a lot of hiccups, and that's to be
expected when you're going from anything goes I sit in
the film room by myself to I've got a coach
who It's about rhythm, it's about timing, it's about culture,
it's about building based on that lame duck whatever the
hell they tried to put out last year before they
finally got right. Oh and Caitlin Williams also had how
(12:07):
many guys were play callers in OC's.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
By the end, eleven eleven guys.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I don't know that it got to that many.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
To think your daughters.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Called it called the game, called the game one time. Well,
I mean there was a contest and they did win it.
His Chicago voter early and oftense, it.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Was like Carbart Michigan when he got suspended and they
kept having different people serving as head coach and coordinators.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Oh, it's different people every week.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
You're gonna sit in that chair for the half, but
it's gonna be radioed in from somewhere aparts unknown. But
all of that to say, am I optimistic on the
wind total?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
No?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Do I hope that by week four, week five you
see some semblance of consistency with this offense. Look, you
rebuilt the offensive line, so all the excuse of their
their turnstyles and all of that that people were making
to try to get to that sixty eight sack total. Again,
I think there was a giant pie chart and Caleb
was responsible for more than his fair share last year.
(12:59):
Does that get clean up with the guy that's all
about precision. That will kick your ass off a practice field.
I would hope so. But if it doesn't, hey you're
going back to the well in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
But you're getting he's he's your guy all year. Don't
sit here and pine and wine for Tyson Bajo olver.
I mean, come on, man, get sucked into the man.
Come on, You're like the Seattle see.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Off general manager in draft day.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Come on, man.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
As soon as Kevin cost says I've read the message boards,
he gets all nervous. You guys said, you got Sean
McBride who doesn't know how the salary cap work comedy affairs.
You guys just need to chill on the All bears ready,
I forbid you.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I got KD working on a whole bunch of burner accounts.
Are bears read at the door?
Speaker 4 (13:40):
He's got a little time before that season opener for
the Rocks. I here, Ben Johnson doesn't know what he's doing.

(15:30):
coming up in a minute. But uh hey, I know
we've only had one week down in the NFL preseason,
but apparently Dak Prescott has.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
The script for this season.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
It does.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
He was seen but prior to the Cowboys Rams game
this weekend telling Dan Cronke, Rams owner that will see
you in the NFC Championship game. So now we know
Cowboys Rams NFC Championship game like it's nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Look at that, we know already going on back way back.
So how am I supposed to watch these two hundred
and seventy two plus the rest of these preseason games.
It's kind of like watching a watching a prequel when
you know how it like you.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
I know these guys make it to the end, but
you got to find the drama in other places. Why
stuff going back? Man showing a prequel. He is known
to us as longtime friend of the show on Twitter
at Jason lock In four. He is on Odyssey Washington
Post one oh five seven the fan in Baltimore, and
I believe he's got the Dodgers on the money line tonight.
It is Jason lock and four. What's happening, man?
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Well, I'm wishing it was the money line, right, It's
the run line, all right, the run line Brewers, run
line cash reds to lead after three plus one twenty
cash reds first five money line cash. Now, let's let's
get the Dodgers. Dodgers, Dodgers doing that thing. I know
it's Malmo plus four seventy five on the money line cash.
(16:53):
That won't really be feeling again. Look at that fire, baby.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Yeah, let go, I was you expecting to start with
you thinging You're going to feel bad from from the
you know, from the the gambling edge of it. Now
that we know that the Cowboys and the Rams are
going to be in the NFC Championship game, that's going
to take the odds on those teams all the way
down now, I mean Dak said out.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Yeah, I'll tell yeah, I will still be fading the Cowboys.
I'm bullets on the Rams, but they've got to get
the quarterback back. Uh. I think it'll be the Packers
and the Rams in the NFC Championship game. Again if
Mat Stafford's back, UH can hold up. And no, Dallas
is not going anywhere. Dallas is not. But anyway, and
(17:36):
when the odds come out for this weekend and the
first half, like the Ravens are favorite, and the money
is already coming in and you can see that you're
getting diminishing returns on the Ravens. But I really just
want to play the Ravens in the first half because
I don't want to have any money tied to Devin
Leary when he's pretending to be a quarterback in the
second half. But Ravens first half against the Cowboys, I
(17:59):
will feel pretty strongly about.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
So okay, so if I can, if I can play
it forward here, you like the Packers in the NFC
Championship game. The Jets just work the Packers over week
one of the preseasons.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
So no game is how what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
You know, I'm bullsh on the Jets. No, I love
you know, justin Field over five and a half rushing touchdowns.
Come on, man, he's going to have that before before
I'm giving out Halloween candy. I like them over the
five hundred and fifty rushing yards. I like the Jets
playing an all win total over eight eight and a half.
I told you guys, I think the Jets can win
(18:34):
more games than they lose. I think the Jets defense
will be pretty menacing, and I think they'll have an
identity back on offense, and they'll be able to control
the football and haul and fields are going to do
some interesting things playing off each other, running out of
the pistol. But yeah, I mean, they still have a
ways to go, but I think they can be you know, like,
(18:57):
I think they could be the second best team in
that division. Like I've had fun playing you know, Buffalo one,
Jets two. You know I've played Buffalo one, Jets two,
New England three, Miami four, you know, futures in that
order as well, in that division. I yes, I think
the Jets defense will make them the second best team
in the vision to keep with.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Our odds fun all right, eleven to one to start
week one, Shador Sanders after Friday's exhibition.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
What say you, that's Joe Flacco is going to start
week one? That that I really wouldn't play in those
markets too much other than and I hadn't even looked,
but it's got to be really talking for Flacco.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
And minus with that minus one fifty six.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
I'm surprised. It's Frankly, actually, that's that's actually pretty low.
It's it's Joe Flacco unless he gets hurt, which which
could happen, but he'd have to play to get hurt.
And it seems like they got him wrapped in copious
amounts of bubble wrap right now, as they should. Uh
So door standers will play this year, they'll get to
that point and they'll probably get through it sooner around
(20:00):
then later. Just I don't think Joe Flacco was surviving
in the first seven weeks of the season.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
They're going to start all.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Four guys Jay, like I said last week, they're going
to start all four guys at one point this year.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
I don't know that ticket starts there because I don't
know that pickets like I don't know why he's there now,
and I really don't know. But when they're zero and
five and they turn the Sanders, what do you really
need picket there for too? Right? Because at that point,
if that doesn't go well, you're going to Gabriel, You're
not going to pickets. So I think there's a chance
three of the four play. But like if I think
(20:32):
it'll be Flacco, I don't think it lasts more than
five or six weeks, and I think there could be
Sanders after that.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
What did you make of his debut overall? What do
you think?
Speaker 5 (20:41):
I like it? The first the first series was which
you would expect. It was a lot of butterflies, an
old boy, this is a little different. And then he
settled down and he made some plays, and yes, there
is still that tendency two when you drop back in
the pocket and then you start and you know he's
not super I felt I. And then you keep drifting
(21:03):
and drifting and drifting like you're not going to be
able to bail yourself out. That's he got away with
it one time. You know he holds the ball. Kind
of ball security is something he's going to have to
work on because he's going to be under duress some
because that offensive line is not what it used to be.
But like, he can make some plays, and he can
throw the football and he's not going to get rattled
(21:25):
and he can take a damn hit, that's for sure.
So he should not have fallen as far as he did.
And I think there'll be some teams that look back
on it and say, you know, we could have probably
handled him because a lot of the issues that they're
concerned about it it's not so much on field as
(21:47):
you know, all the noise and distractions and you know,
will his dad be a problem and all that boogeyman
bs that really tends to kind of fade once a
guy does start playing.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
I'll have to go back and look and see if
Tony Grosse wrote anything nice nice about him after he
was gett fronted in the locker.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
And the other day we had some pretty good series, man.
I mean, look again, it's only pre season football, but
he by no means looked overwhelmed or pete down the leg.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Now solid solid performance overall? Is that that got going
Staying in the North though over to Pittsburgh, Cam Hayward
saying his hold in might become an into the season
kind of system. He watched his line made get paid.
Now he wants to rework a deal he signed twelve
months ago.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Yeah, that's the thing, and he'd make it fifteen million
dollars a year. And you know, he just agreed to this,
and I mean, I guess there's some things they'll do
to sweeten the pot even more. And he did have
a hell of a season, but he's a little longer
in the two than his buddy Watt, and it's just
a different scenario. And frankly, if they're going to be
(22:56):
as good as they could be, and I think that's
going to reach fire a little less of Kim Hayward
on the field. I don't know that they can ride
him as hard as they did last year and think
that's kind of goes super well. They've smoothed it out
with everybody else. I think they will smooth this out
with him. They're going to have to turn on the
charm a little bit, have a you know, the right
(23:18):
bedside manner here, and maybe sweeten the pot in terms
of incentives. But like this is this is a pretty
new contract and it was a shorter term deal that
he just agreed to. And again, like it's not like
he's making four million dollars or something like that. So
I think he's going to have to maybe come to
grips with it a little bit too.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Jason Locking for our guest on Twitter at Jason Locking
for the Jason Smiths Er with Mike Carmon. All Right, now,
outside of the games, we got this report today that
NFL teams are monitoring Tyree kill situation in Miami, thinking
that potentially they might want to move on fro him.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
There could be a trait to move at some point.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Well, what are you hearing on this?
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Wait a minute, come on, this guy, this guy said
he wanted and they were trying to peddle them and
they couldn't get anything more, Like what are we talking?
What alternative reality is this? Like, I mean, is this
coming from Greer? Is why would any if he's even
trying to peddle this, why would anybody believe it? Like
their quarterback just came out on the record a week
(24:18):
ago and said, yeah, he's gonna have to pay more
than lip service around here, Like he's got to rebuild trust,
not just with me, with everybody, Like, I mean, what huh,
I'm monitoring the situation people don't want him like he's
a declining asset. He brings all kinds of baggage, and
it's one thing to put up with it when he's
one of the most prolific big play guys in the league.
(24:41):
But like Man, he certainly seems to have lost the
staff he quit on his team last year. That's this
is now a second team in relatively recent time, that
despite him being very productive for them, wanted to get
out from under him. They couldn't. I don't know, guys,
I don't I mean, why huh? They should have moved
(25:05):
him for nothing at all. It should have already been
additioned by subtraction. But it's a cumbersome contract and it's
again a player who has a lot of stuff attached
to him that isn't particularly pleasant. So at some point,
you know, people get desperate, injuries happen, and he could
(25:26):
be a salary dump at some point in time. But
the idea that people are lining up to figure out
what their offers should be to try to pry him
out of there or whatever is just absolutely ludicrous.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
We got another contender in the hype Train candidacy. We
had Shdor Sanders Friday and then we got a little
bit of Jackson Dark and people are already trying to
jump him into the front. I mean Dable and Shane,
two guys that were kind of watching in terms of
the temperature of their seats Jason. So what do we
make of how that quarterback derby will be handled?
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Guys who they think can play in the league for
at least a period of time. I don't think that
they're notive enough to say he's got twelve to sixteen
games out of Russell or Jamis Winston that they're gonna
want to see. But do they each have six in them?
And then where are we, you know, as we head
into the winter and how good is this defense? I
(26:20):
think it's pretty damn good? And how competitive are we?
Or have we reached a point where for the sake
of our season? And yeah, maybe to cover our asses too,
we start to look at Jackson Dark, like, I don't
think he's going to do anything in these games that
alters the idea that they go in with Russell Wilson
and they see that first, you know, then it's probably
(26:42):
Jamis up next, but but not, you know, maybe not
absolutely positively. Jamis could end up just serving as the
backup to both those guys. But I'd be really surprised
that they got away from at least seeing if they
can get some stability from Russ Wilson, if they could
protect the football with Wissell Wilson and see what kind
(27:04):
of damage that defense can do.

Anything this weekend, and people said, bring me someone else.
It's Steve Disago, and.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Yet I'm here.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
Late night baseball. We got the Angels ahead of the
Dodgers two nothing in the top of the fourth. The
Padres are scoreless at San Francisco top of the fourth.
The Dodgers are the first place team in the NL West,
but just two games over San Diego.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
That lead was nine in early July.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
The Dodgers will play against the Padres head to head
the next two weekends. It's Houston holding on seven to
six over the Red Sox in the top of the eighth.
Starter for Boston, Garrett Crochet thirteen and four this year,
gave up the first five runs in four innings of workfact,
Alex bregman X of Houston did hit a two run
homer for Boston in the first. Red Sox down one
(29:01):
in the eighth, Diamondbacks lead six to five at Texas
top of the ninth, still a rain delay in Chicago.
Tigers top of the ninth lead two to one at
the White Sox. Saint Louis with two runs in the
bottom of the eighth, beat Colorado three to two. The
Rockies have lost eight in a row. Kansas City has
seven to four winner over Washington. Milwaukee won its tenth
straight game, seven to one against Pittsburgh. The Yankees hit
(29:24):
four solo homers in a six to two decision over Minnesota.
Philadelphia's Kyle Schwarber hit his forty second homer this year.
Phil's won four to one at Cincinnati. The Phillies are
the first place team in the NL East, now six
games over the idle Mets, who've been idle for the
last seven games that they all lost.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Rams quarterback you were idle the rest of August, I
could say they can hold onto the wildcard.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
Well, the Reds did lose in that game against Philly.
You know, the Reds were only a game and a
half out of the last EDL wildcard behind the Mets.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Too starts, so you're kind of a Phillies.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
See.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
That's how much it's changed for me. Where a couple
of weeks ago would have been want the Reds to
take care of the Phillies and message, now it's like, Okay, give.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Up on the division.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
We're not we're not getting first place anymore. Come on, Phillies,
looking babe, Sure.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
We're hit another home run.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
We're to mid August this week, six games behind and
going south.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Yeah, we've been traveling south for a lot. Predictions looking
pretty good right now.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Yeah, we've been We've been on. We've been on the
traveling south. I mean, we're we're going downhill traveling south.
We're not first half.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
You're in a new another state, not even in New York.
You're still traveling.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
So don't even have to have the engine on the car.
We're just going so downhill. We're just gonna go really fast.
Speaker 7 (30:33):
Fee if things going south the Rams talked all week
and hey, Matthew Stafford's gonna make an appearance at practice
on Monday. Spoiler or not misspractice again. He's been out
with a bad back. He had a pregame workout Saturday,
made over sixty throws. Didn't feel good enough today. Jimmy
Garoppolo is still getting first team reps for the Rams.
Stafford has yet to practice in Rams camp this year.
(30:55):
The forty nine Ers say wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk might
return in mid October after last year's knee injuries. Eagles
Pro bowlguard land and Dickerson will have a procedure on
his knee. He was carted off at practice Sunday. Still
hopes to play in the opener next month. Dolphins running
back Alexander Madison had season ending next surgery after being
hurt Sunday. Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson will play this Saturday
(31:17):
off the bench against the Packers. Daniel Jones will start
Richardson in case you didn't hear return to practice last
Saturday despite last week's dislocated finger. The NFL preseason resumes
this Friday with two games. Most teams play this Saturday,
and there is a game on Fox TV this Sunday night,
with Chicago hosting Buffalo. Texas is number one in AP's
preseason college football poll, barely ahead of number two Penn State.
(31:40):
Of the sixty five first place votes, Texas received twenty five,
Penn State got twenty three, and there's only one WNBA
game tonight at Golden State. The Vulcris are leading twenty
one eighteen over the Connecticut Sun mid second quarter. Connecticut
a team that's for sale for starters and five and
twenty five at the moment.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve, though your next success
can begin sooner than you think. At University of Maryland
Global Campus, undergraduate and most graduate classes start August thirteenth,
apply now and say with no application fee. Learn more
at UMGC dot edu. That's UMGC dot edu.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
So with Connecticut at five and twenty five, do I
get a discount if I want to get together a
group and buy them, like it's a distressed property.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Like along like a group on like oh hey, I
got this on the thing you want if you want
to buy a team.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
But more it's like you know, you've got a house
of you know that's had some issues. Maybe they've been
in the police blot. Sure, maybe you know there's some
some active mold that you're gonna have to clean up
or a new route that you need. So it's a
distressed property. You know, there's a divorce proceedings. I mean,
I don't know what it was.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
What was if it was divorce proceedings with a bad
roof that had a lot of mold in it, and
there was some sort of police activity, some sort of
stuff happened.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
So there's a multiplier there. Okay, there's all I'm gonna
get well under market. I'm gonna have to build up
its reputation, have to do a lot of work so
they don't look at that house like you' said a
completely new house.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Yeah, very good.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
I just want the land congratulate. Well, congratulations the Connecticut Harmin's.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
You bought it.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
I would rename that so fast exit out out of
Fresca Exit swalling down. Thanks to Jason Locking for for
stopping by as always. Coming up next, Yes, we have
the play of the day, and I'll tell you exactly
how a big quarterback derby in.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
The NFL is going down.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
We told you how I was gonna end with Daniel

Biggest Quarterback Derby gonna end? We'll tell you that's next
right here, Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
But first it's time for the Play of the Day.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Brought to you by ty iraq dot Com For over
forty years, tire Rack's been up Customers find the right
tires for how what where they drive, Shipped fast and free,
backed by free Road, has protection with convenient installation options
like mobile tire installation. Tire act dot Com is the
way tire buying should be. And well, I have a
sneaking suspicion the p it's gonna be reasoned this. The
(34:19):
play of the day is gonna be something that was
so good yesterday. It's gotta be the play of the
day today too.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Slip on a deep right, it is back.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
How Isaac Collins walks it off against the Mets.
Speaker 7 (34:40):
You can't make it up.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Yeah, you can't.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Brewers Radio on the call, Mets up five. Nothing doesn't matter,
doesn't matter. They find a way to lose, doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
I will say this though, Okay, I do want to
say this, right, I gotta say this. Of all the
things happening right now with the Bleep and Mets and
why they suck so bad? What did I tell you
in April was gonna be the thing? Hey, Mets pitching
lab is great. What they've done, Manaia and monts all.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
This is great.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
What are they gonna do in August when all of
these guys hit their innings limits?
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Right?
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Because Senga hasn't pitched in a year, right, Clay Holmes
has never been a starting pitcher, right, all of these
things right, Griffin Cannon that he never had, but now
he's heard he's out for the year. Tyler McGill, guess
what he's hurt. They're hoping he comes back. Him coming
back is a big thing for the Mets. But all
of these guys who have never pitched as many innings
as they have, I said, what's gonna happen when they
(35:30):
hit their innings limit in August? And here's where they are.
Whi's been three weeks a month since anybody's gone more
than five innings. I said this, This is why I
can be a GM I said in April, this is
a great plan, man, great plan. But in August they're
all gonna hit their innings limits and they're gonna run
out of gas.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
So what are we gonna do? Tada? Here we are.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Well.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Sternsy failed you. Oh, Sternsy failed you. You needed not one,
not two, maybe three arms, the kind of mixing match
between extending your darters and penn and you got nothing. Yeah,
sharp stick in the eye. Yeah, Isaac Collins, get it
done now. Somewhere somehow They in minnes Milwaukee. I'm thinking
(36:11):
about Minnesota in milwaukee'suck. If they have enough people to
play game, everything has gone right right. Jackson Jurio hasn't
played since July twenty nine, doesn't matter, he's missed the
entire way. Andrew Vaughan hitting three fifties since coming over
from the White Tips, laying down bunts, yeah, to help
them win.
Speaker 7 (36:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Zarowski had to go to il. Yes, and once he does,
doing his off time, he's pulling big, big money charts.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Mega charge.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Yeah, yeah, I know, just screwing around.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Hey look what I got.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
I know, man, I know, I know.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
Meanwhile, the Cubs can't get out of their own way.
So just like the Fills have runaway and hidding your division, yeah,
Brewers are doing the same. Uh so we have more
baseball on the way.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
I am sure Frostburg will jump in and say, talk
more baseball if the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Take the lead over the Angels.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
But uh, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
We talked a little bit about this with Jason lock
And for a few minutes ago and one of the
big quarterback derbys, even though it doesn't seem like a derby. Now,
I'll tell you how things are gonna end with the Giants,
especially after this week. Jackson Dart has a debut that's
a little uneven, but he makes a couple of really
good throws. He looked good, he was decisive. His camp
is going well for him. Notice how no one's talking
(37:19):
about Russell Wilson's a guy, no know Russe Wilson. There's
been no talk about Russell Wilson. How it's gonna go
is this Jackson Dart's not gonna start the season because
Russell Wilson's not gonna do anything to lose the job.
They gave Russell Wilson the gig. They want to bring
Jackson Dart along and make sure they put him in
a position to succeed. So what's it gonna be. It's
gonna be Russell Wilson for the first part of the year,
and there will be some games where he's fine, and
(37:42):
then he'll run out of gas just like he did
last year, and by week eight nine ish midway point
of the season, it's gonna be time for Jackson Dart.
And you have to do it because he's a first
round pick. Right first round quarterbacks don't sit on the
bleeping bench. It doesn't go that way for it in time,
I Sason, you're a first round quarterback, you are going
(38:02):
to play. So how it's gonna go is kind of
how it went for Russell Wilson. Latches some weeks where
he looks good, some weeks where he doesn't. Obviously, he's
not in as good a team as he was last year.
Giants defense is pretty good, but not quite the team
that he was. Overall, where hey, just come out, don't
make mistakes, execute two really good running backs.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
All this going on.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
But this is kind of how it goes is Russell
Wilson's at the end. He's gonna end the season on
the bench, which is gonna be sad for him, backing
up Jackson Dart. By mid season, Dart will be in
because the way the season's gonna go for the Giants,
they're gonna lose in that division because all three teams
are better than they are. It's gonna be a lost year.
It's gonna we got to see the quarterback. We got
to see him and the pressure to play him, especially
(38:40):
with Dable under pressure of saying, hey, we got to
show something, right, I don't want to hit the off
season and the Giants go, hey, that was great, but
we have somebody else coming in now that's that's gonna
coach and figure it out.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
So the the.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Likelihood of them going to him because he was a
first round pick, because they're gonna want to show something
going forward, there's a glimpse. Give me another year to
work with this situation. You're gonna see Jackson Dart by
mid season. It'll be Russell Wilson to start mid season
Jackson Dart.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
The only reason it wouldn't is if Russell Wilson's playing well,
and he's leading them well enough to bride that defense
into some wins. Look, Tracy was pretty solid as a
running back last year. Unfortunately Saquon Barkley went and was
All World, so it looked like a huge loss. How
many wins would he have been worth? Probably not very many.
But what you're looking at for Dable and Shane right
(39:26):
now is to say, hey, we drafted this guy, we
should get a shot to run with it. So unless
Russell Wilson's playing like he's twenty twelve, like his hair's
on fire, and he's running around and making plays and
his postgame speeches are more than just internet memes, then yeah,
Jackson Dart will be that guy. Jameis Winston will end
up quarterbacking for somebody else as a break glass in
(39:48):
case of emergency guy, someplays else. With the number of
starters we talked about it three straight years, you're into
mid sixties and higher for the number of guys to
start a game, So he'll find a place somewhere else.
But for Russell Wilson, yeah, your best hope is that
he gets you through the first half of the season,
and that Jackson Dart comes in and he's still playing
(40:09):
meaningful football and not just doing an audition and trying
not to get himself killed as part of a bad team.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
Yeah. Look, the Giants, as long as.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Jackson Dart shows Look again, being a first round pick,
you're gonna have a little bit more time. But as
long as he shows, now, hey, it's not too big
for me, right, that's what I always say. Okay, great,
they feel really good after preseason week one that by
mid time, midseason rolls around. He's our guy.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Yeah, but believe it though. If Russell Wilson is playing well,
then yeah, you got Jackson Dart late in the first
You don't have to play him, right, keep learning, keep
sitting whatever. Russell Wilson could be useful that way, But
we have no expectations they win totally over under his
five and a half. They may overachieve like your Jets
and the six and a half that that's placed at
(40:54):
that you're bullish on. Maybe that's the case, but it's
gonna be a long, long grind to get to that.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Week eight to ten, that's dark time Wilson to start,
then it's dark. That should be the slogan on Giants
T shirt Wilson to start. Then it's dark. I don't
know that Russ would sign off on that, no, but
you can. You can make them and not license them.
It's fun coming up next to a Titanic story out
of college football Fox.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
I'll never like a
