Speaker 1 (00:00):
Greetings, Welcome inside Happy Friday, the Jason Smith Show with
my base friend Mike Harmon. For over forty years, Tirerack's

and where they drive, shipped fast and free, backed by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation. Tirac dot Com is the way tire buying
(00:23):
should be. It is already been some kind of Friday,
and we still have a lot left to go here.
In football, we'll get to Shador Sanders in a second.
But sometimes, you know, the scariest moments in sports bring
out the best in us. And that's clearly a case
that unfortunately we saw and then saw the reaction in
(00:45):
tonight's preseason game between the Lions and the Falcons. This
game was suspended and ended early in the fourth quarter
with the Lions winning seventeen to ten after Maurice Norris
of the Lions is injured. Looked very serious on a
on a tackle he attempts to make. Norris goes in
to make the tackle. You see his head kind of
snap back. There's seizure activity in his legs and right
(01:08):
away personnel came out. They took him away in an ambulance,
prayers up for him. Will have an update on him
as soon as we do in this game, and it
really was something I mean to see the Lions and
Falcons decide with each other. They held hands around him
as he was being tended to on the field, and
they decided we're not gonna play. And the next play
(01:29):
happened and the ball was snapped and the clock ticked,
and I don't know if there were still some unsuredness
as to what was going on on the field, it
was gonna happen, but both teams decided amongst themselves that's it.
This game is over, and that was the That was
the final snap, and they suspended the game with about
fourteen minutes left to go, the Lions and Falcons again
deciding this right after they watched Norris get taken off
(01:52):
the field and again, we'll have an update for you
as soon as we do. He was taken to the hospital,
but the two teams decided, okay, this game is done,
and out of respect for him. It was a very
much a Tomorrow Hamlin esque situation where we watched it
and said, okay, what's gonna happen now? Clearly, fourteen minutes
left in game one of the preseason, there really is
no need to finish the game, and I am I'm
glad to see humanity and concern for Norris kind of
(02:15):
just take over. And that's what we saw, and that's
how the game ended. You see the snap and players
just kind of standing there, going, we're not gonna play.
So this is kind of the end of the game,
and the game ended a great moment of humanity and
together it's an NFL brotherhood between the Lions and the Falcons. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I mean you talk about the fraternity, right, and all
the guys that we know and we've worked with through
the years, you watch games with them, and when there's
a moment of this nature, it still resonates on that
grand scale. And certainly you know with the type of
adrenaline and the way players have to be right in
(02:53):
terms of their readiness for that next play, and certainly
regular season we know there be a suspension of play
and eventually they get back into it because of the stakes.
In this particular case, Uh, you recognize what this moment means. Uh.
And against a preseason the fans understood it, right, A
(03:14):
lot of a lot of people emotional uh shown and
certainly outside the prayer circles and everything that flow through,
So all thoughts with with Norris, his family, his teammates
and everybody. But yeah, showing the humanity of this moment,
much bigger stakes, you know, in the injury as it occurred,
(03:35):
takes the the knee and to your point, Jason, Uh,
the immediacy of trainers, uh, quick acting personnel and credit
to you know how quickly everybody mobilized and recognized the
severity of the moment. And then look, the game doesn't
matter at that point, right, It's all about, you know,
(03:58):
putting all the effort towards Norris and his his health
and getting him the help he needs.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And and still I mean you hear it in my
voice as as I'm saying it, because I watched the
replay a couple of times, probably one too many. Because
we recognize the fragility of things when we talk about
contact sports at every level and in the NFL, you know,
here it is spotlight that today we've got a lot
of positives to talk about and the love of the
(04:26):
football being back, but also you know that grim reminder
of what can happen just so quickly and I'll.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Play Yeah, I mean, it's something you'll see and and
he goes in for a tackle and it's a helmet
to the knee and you see is his head kind
of snap back and and uh, you know, look, it's something.
It's it's part of the game, and it's an it's
an awful part of the game. And it's such an
unfortunate part of the game. And unfortunately we've seen it
now a couple of times over the course of the
(04:52):
past few years, and everybody's got their fingers crossed again.
As soon as we hear any moments on this, we
will we will let you know. But sometimes we respond
to our most difficult moments by displaying the best of us.
And that clearly was the Lions and the Falcons tonight again,
this game suspended with about fourteen minutes to go, seventeen
to ten game, and they're really it didn't seem to
me like there was any like there was any question
(05:15):
that that was they were going to do. Mike, like
I said, Okay, they're gonna do this, and just line
up and say we're doing this. Far they could have
easily said look, we're not doing it and made it
some kind of you know, we're walking off the field
and there's a lot of craziness and bizarreness and what's happening,
or the teams refusing to play, but by getting up
there and saying, okay, this play is gonna run the
last fourteen minutes. Okay, you know you're not gonna blow
(05:36):
the whistle, and this is this is how we're gonna
do it. And I thought stepping up and showing not
just deciding hey we're walking away, we're done, but to
stand up and say, hey, we're doing this moment for you.
This was kind of an extra way to do it
because they easily could have just said, hey, we're not
gonna play. Okay, that's fine, the coaches talk and where
and we're gonna you go to your sideline. You go
(05:56):
to your sideline, we'll do a quick congratulations, and that's
how it's gonna end. But this say hey, we're snapping
the football and not playing for you. It's there. It
was their way of doing even a bigger moment for
him on the field, which I thought was, I mean,
what what again? Sometimes these these moments bring out the
best in this That clear was that was an incredible
decision uh from the from the Lions and Falcons on this,
(06:18):
I can't say enough about it.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, the recognition of what what's uh at play here?
Right the the game gets minimized and we we see
this uh far too often, uh happily not too too
too much, uh you know, in in the grand scale
of how many games are played. But it's you know,
(06:40):
still the severity of it, you know, wreck that recognition,
uh and that moment and to your point, just going
running out the clock, all right, games gone to zeros,
let's go uh and let's put our thoughts where they
need to be. Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
So again, we'll continue to update this story throughout the night. Again,
best thoughts to Norris's family lines as well. But look,
our business is sports, and we go to the biggest
story coming into tonight on the field when we talk
about a big level of interest. We saw the debut
of Shador Sanders tonight for the Cleveland Browns and look,
(07:17):
I'll be honest, game had ended thirty to ten. There's
two things for this game, right right, There's two things.
There's the first one is what we think about Shador Sanders,
and then the second part is reality. And you know,
I kept thinking of this tonight. I knew, Okay, Sanders
is gonna come out and he's gonna and he's gonna play.
He's gonna go ball to the wall, right, Like he
know this is his chance to win the job. He
(07:39):
wants to show everybody I'm the guy that you thought
I was in college. I'm not a fifth round pick.
I need to seize this job. I'm getting a chance here.
And I kept thinking of that, that Herb Brooks moment
from Miracle when he starts his speech to the guys
and he says, and Kurt Ross I just hear in
Kurt Russell's voice now when he says, great moments are
born from great opportunity, and that's you have here tonight, gentlemen,
(08:00):
that's what you've earned tonight. Right and thought, and I thought,
that's exactly the deal for Shador Sanders. All this craziness,
all the Browns was setting him up to felt no
Browns will put him out there to play like there
he's the only.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Guy healthy enough to play. He's been there for a
minute and a half. I mean, what the hell that
more analysis is there than.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
That he's one of your four guys, right, Okay, So
this is how it's gonna go. And he goes out
and in the beginning he did some good things, and
he did some rookie things. Okay, you had a great
scramble for a first down, you know, a couple of
bad decisions, you know, trying to run around like he
would have done in college when clearly, okay, that doesn't
happen in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Is that the right of passage? Do you have to
check that one on your Bingo card? Now, if you're
a quarterback with any ability to move laterally that you
have to do that play like it's a video game.
So Chris Berman would be able to go whoop whoop
nine times before the play ends.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
He said, hey, Russell Wilson, watch this. I've seen you
do this for a long time. You're ready. So he
did some things, He did some good things, and he
did some rookie things. And then the second quarter he
played extremely well. Right two touchdowns, including this one, the
very first touchdown of Shador Sanders NFL career. Take a listen,
seven year veteran Treyyon Williams in the backfield, play fake
(09:15):
to him, Sanders looking throwing down Payden Davis.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Shador Sanders. Welcome to the NNFL.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Brown's Rose Chris Rose on Brown's TV with the call. There, Yes,
that Chris Rose with the call the first of two
touchdowns by Shador Sanders for the night, fourteen out of
twenty three, one hundred and thirty eight yards and two touchdowns.
Right now, here's here's the thing, because people go, I mean,
there's nothing crazier than what people have even after Shador
(09:50):
Sanders when he handed the ball off the first time, Oh,
that was a great handoff by schendor what a great
handoff by Shador Sanders. He absolutely played well enough to
keep the gig. Like, what do we say the other night?
If he plays well enough, let him run with it? Right,
you don't need to say he's the starter. And there's
a again, there's a bigger conversation, but for right now,
the results what we saw in this game, there is
(10:12):
no reason to say, hey, okay, Joe Flacco, you go
back to get all the reps. No, let Shadour run
with a little bit. You know I I always say
the same thing, and you saw it. They said it
on the broadcast a lot to night. What do I say,
I look for our quarterbacks. The first and the most
important thing that the game is not too big for them,
and that it's not too much. It's not too okay.
The game is going really fast right now. The old
Bill Parcell's line, I want to see if rookie's eyes
(10:34):
get real milky in the lights and they it's it's
a twister andiem aniem and it wasn't. And he made
some big throws and he got more comfortable as the
game went on. There is no reason to not allow
him to continue to run with the ones and get
the lion's share of the reps and continue on here
and act as the de facto number one quarterback. Look,
(10:56):
Joe Flacco's been around a lot. They interviewed him during
the game. He talked about his comfort level with the
offense and how well Shadoor Sanders is playing, and that's awesome.
You don't need to see Joe Flacco, right You tell
Joe Flacco, Look, Joe, here's a deal. You know, we
have these rookie quarterbacks. Singer, you know where you're at,
and he understands, we're gonna let your door go here
a little bit and run with this job. And then
we see where we're at we have, we have a
long preseason, got another couple of weeks to go, we
(11:18):
got a month before the beginning of the season starts.
We're gonna give him a little bit more of an opportunity,
and Joe Flacco's got to understand that, and if he doesn't,
it doesn't matter. I mean, you see, Shador Sanders absolutely
was the guy we thought he would be when we
thought he was the second overall picking the draft, going
behind cam Ward. There is no reason to not say,
shaudor you were great. You're gonna continue to run with
(11:39):
the ones you are now running as the number one
quarterback with the Cleveland Browns for this summer. And I
don't I don't think there's any way you can come
out of this and not do that for him. I
don't see how you don't.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Well, in the end, the other guys are aren't healthy
enough to run anyway, So by default, I think he's
gonna get some more run here. Uh. You know, look,
you play against who's on the field with you, whether
they're the ones for the Panthers or twos or threes
or whatever it is. Panthers aren't great anyway, So grain
(12:12):
of salt with something. I'm not trying to pour water
on the notion of what he accomplished. Those throws were great.
I want to give a lot of nod on that
first touchdown pass to the concentration of the receiver as
that ball whiz between a couple of defenders to not
have that either bounce off his face mask or sail
through his hands. Good job by him. The second great
(12:33):
throw that he made down the sideline on the fingertips, Hey,
you got to give a guy a chance to make
a play where the defenders aren't and he did that.
What it means long term, like the hyperbole is going
to be there, I'm certainly not pouring a giant bucket
of water on it. Because it's a great first step. Right,
you have the growth moments of the scramble plays and
(12:56):
the chaos there, and then you settle in and take
advantage of what's afforded to you by the defense. How
that gets read by the professionals in the room and
when they go back to evaluate it in the post,
that's on them, you know. For us being loud mounts
on the radio, I'm like, hey, I want to see more,
all right, add more to it, right, it's like, you know,
(13:18):
we discussed and had a little disagreement with the Anthony
Richardson stuff yesterday. In the end, you gotta pile it
on and see how much he can take, you know,
in terms of acumen and what he still needs to
learn and develop, and try to put him in an
opportunity to see that growth. And for now, Joe Flacco,
we know what he is. He's gonna come in, he's
(13:39):
gonna wing the ball around, and there's gonna be some
great moments. There's gonna be some terrible moments. Oh wait,
isn't that what you expect from a rookie quarterback that
you drafted in the fifth round? In the end, your
your your aspirations other than Miles Garrett stowing the company
line because he's you know, got a massive ass check
sticking out of his back pocket. Yeah, super Bowl baby,
(14:01):
it's like everybody else recognize it. It's a train wreck.
So if you can go and get him some meaningful
reps and get a true evaluation, I don't see why
you wouldn't. Once you get to the regular season, I
guess in September you still have to sell hope, which
is why you see Flacco or picket at that point.
But even still, we got a lot of football that
(14:22):
needs to be played here, Jason. I'm sure several teams
are gonna have a quarterback that comes up a little
less than one hundred, So all of a sudden, one
of those guys could be a viable trade option.

(16:35):
stellar debutre of Shador Sanders coming up in a second.
But we have an update on Mon Norris, Lions dB,
who was injured early in the fourth quarter of the
Lions game against the Falcons tonight. It was a bad
head injury. You could see his next snap back, his
head snap back when he goes in for a tackle.
There were spasming in the legs. They took him off
(16:57):
the field in the ambulance and a great moment of
brotherhood and solidarity and humanity where the team's decided we're
not going to play the rest of the game. We're
gonna snap the football once and that's it. And the
game was suspended and ended at seventeen ten with fourteen
and a half minutes to go in the fourth quarter.
Now we're gonna go to Dan Campbell right now. He
just met the media and he has an update and
(17:19):
he has good news about the status of monors. Take
a listen.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
So with this, you know, obviously thoughts and person and
mow Norris. We got some positive information on him when
he's at the hospital. I'll have to just leave it
at that. But but obviously, you know, you know, something
that happens, it puts things in the perspective. So I
(17:45):
just praying from my last about the perfect praisefully.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Questions you said positive, can you share what the positives is?
More breathing?
Speaker 7 (17:55):
You know it's breathing.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
He's talking. That's good.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
He's got some move movies.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
No longer tests, so that that's great news right there,
as you heard Dan Campbell say, he's breathing, he's talking,
and there's some movement. You know, the fact that he
comes out, he look, he's the first person that's going
to say something publicly, and you know, not to try
to read into but when he comes out and says
there's a positive update from the hospital, he's not going
(18:22):
to come out and say, we have a positive update
if if things are you know, if things are touching,
go obviously, Hey, great thoughts and prayers to him. But
the best news of what everyone is crossing their fingers
hoping to hear is that he's moving, he's awake, he's talking,
and all three of those things happens as you heard
him say. There, he's he's awake, he's talking, he's got
(18:42):
some movement. So a positive update on mo Norris, which
is which is phenomenal news. And and you know, look,
all the best thoughts and prayers to him is as
he continues this night, as he you know, continues to
recover from what happened on the field.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I watched the clip a couple of times as you know,
I'm watching uh and and watching Pi Yankees loose, UH
and looking at Dan Campbell's countenance as he's out, very emotional.
Obviously his guy, what he means in the locker room,
guys around the team multiple years and everything. And when
(19:16):
he gave the you know, there's positive news, it's it's
almost like the referring of like, you don't want to
put a bunch of stuff out there. So I was
a little surprised when the reporter asked for specificity that
he gave it so so willingly. But obviously it's something
that you know on your heart, and you know you
want you want everybody to to at least see that
(19:37):
positivity right and give that, you know, feed hope as
you can.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
So you could see that that he was a bit
conflicted even in his his countenance there how much he
was going to give. But then you know the hey,
this this could be a good thing for everybody to
keep those you know, prayers and and all of that
energy uh that was coming in on the field and
in the stands and around and you know football, the
football universe. The positivity went on to a long explanation
(20:05):
about the brotherhood of football, you know, and and the
silver lining in it, uh that you know, as we
talked about to open things here tonight, Jason, that that
positivity and and what these guys all mean to each
other in the larger scope.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
So again good news from Honoris. Again, as you heard
Dan Campbell say, they're breathing talking, there's some movement. As
we learn more tonight, we will continue to let you know.
But again that's straight from Dan Campbell.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Just moments ago the Jason Smithson with Mike Carmon live
from the Fox Sports Radio studios, and look our businesses football,
our businesses sports, and and and look, the the Shadoor
Sanders story is just incredibly exciting to get to and
and and look it's we talked about it a few
minutes ago, right his debut tonight for the Browns, and
(20:52):
and how good he was right throwing two touchdowns, and
I said, there's no way you can't not let him
run with the ones. Now, you don't have to give
him a job. Ran, I'm gonna say, I'll gi him
a job. He's great, you know what I have odd,
oh my goodness. But there's no reason that he shouldn't
be in pole position right now when you what you doing.
You know, I say it all the time, you don't
(21:15):
know about a quarterback until you see him with the
lights on, until you see when the footballs fly for real.
That's when you really that's when you learn about a quarterback.
And you could see schador standers and camp and seven
on seven's and all kinds of stuff, but you never
learn about a guy until you see him on the field.
And you knew he was gonna prepare and play like
he was preparing for a game at Colorado, whether they're
playing Nebraska or some or Oregon or somebody else. It's
(21:38):
a big deal. He's not a veteran preparing where Yeah,
I'm good. We're gonna go out, gonna play a couple
of series, gonna hand the ball off, make a couple
of throws. Everything's good, A fine can stretch the pads
out all No, you knew he was gonna prepare, and
you can tell he was prepared for everything. And but
before we get to the to the bigger aspect of
this is that, you know, the one play that really
sold me on him is his second touchdown pass of
(22:01):
the game, right the one just before HALFTIMEE. Look, he
made a lot of big throws, right. He started out
a little shaky. He did some good things, did some
bad things. But he takes the Browns on a big
drive near the end of the first half and he
throws a touchdown pass and Caden Davis twelve yards over
the middle. And to see him have the presence of
(22:23):
mind with the rusher coming in, he just knows, I
have to sidestep a little bit more towards the center
of the field to allow the running back to be
able to block him where I'm gonna get an avenue
to deliver the football. And he stands in and throws
the football for a touchdown to Davis. And this is
the best of Shador Sanders on display on one play
(22:44):
because as you've seen, his instincts at quarterback are tremendous.
He has incredible instincts at quarterback. You saw it to Colorado.
Whatever you want to say, because there's other parts about him.
I get, like, there's some stuff from tonight and we'll
get to it. But the instincts that he has are tremendous.
And the other thing him he is a tough kid.
He is gonna stand in there and deliver the football.
(23:05):
No matter what happens, no matter what kind of hit
he takes. We saw that time and again a ca
I mean, you don't want to take those hits. But
the Colorado offensive line really wasn't great, so I you know,
sometimes you have no choice. But there's no scatter shot,
there's no I'm running out of trouble. I'm I'm tucking
the ball under because my first read isn't there. I'm
panicking in the pocket. He is that kid. He is
(23:27):
gonna stand in there and he is gonna deliver the
football whether he gets drilled or not. And that is
that is something that is so valuable to a young
quarterback where you don't have to that accinuates the learning
curve so much when you don't have to worry about
a little happy feet in the pocket, or here's somebody
around you, and and and you can feel the pressure
(23:48):
behind you, and you know what, I'm just gonna take
off of the football. There's guys been in the league five, seven,
ten years that still take off with the football a
little earlier than they should. Justin fields. There's still guys
who do that. Shador Sanders is not that guy. Little
bit of mobility showed you what he scrambled for that
first down, which is awesome, but he is gonna stay
in there and throw the football. And you saw he
is fearless in the pocket, and that is an incredible
(24:10):
trait for quarterback to have. Yeah, there's that fine line
between savvy and crazy, and we'll have to figure out
where that is a play to play basis, cause I mean,
we go back to the Colorado tape and it's like
we talk about all often, and maybe I hammered down
on the guy a little harder than others. With Caleb
Williams a year ago, everybody was quick to point out, ah,
(24:32):
look at all.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
The sacks and offensive lines chairball. No, they weren't good,
and clearly they addressed it in the offseason. But I
think if you did the giant pie chart, there were
an awful lot of those that half the weight should
have gone on old number eighteen's back. Same thing with
Shdor Sanders, the number of times he would stand in
perhaps a beat longer than he needed to. And you
(24:54):
sometimes say, hey, you know what you live to see
another day. Right now, we're worrying about the back status
of Matthew Stafford. Now he's got many a weary mile
on his his body at this point. But guess what
that's been his calling card for his entire career. Boy,
he's one tough so ob. Yeah, every once in a
while you can get rid of the ball a step earlier,
(25:15):
perhaps and live to see another down for Shador Sanders. Look,
I don't want to be the guy to to reign
on the parade here because it was obviously a great debut.
But you know they built the statue for seven point
three million dollars out there in New England and in Boston.
You know, well, I'm not I'm not so quick to
(25:36):
start my silly putty version for Shudor Sanders after you know,
a start against the Panthers. But I come away encouraged
that he's a guy that, like he's been under the
spotlight that's surname, has done it. What happened those couple
of years at Colorado, He's certainly seen anything that can
be written about a guy. He didn't help himself in
(25:57):
a couple of circumstances, for sure, kind of agging it on,
and you know, the bravado at times can going after
opponents on the field. A couple of speeding tickets, so
he'll he'll play in the fast lane, no question, and
welcome a bit of that. So the the next bad play,
certainly the poison pens will be out for But for
(26:17):
one night, the Sickaphants got everything they wanted and then
some and and they're lining up across social media for it.
But you know we'll see, you know, there there will
be hard times. He's playing for the Browns. So we
take the positive today, take the opponent. You can only
beat and play who's on the field. So for tonight
(26:37):
we celebrate that. You can take little bits of that
film and see some good traits that you can now
work with if you're Stefanski and that offensive staff.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, I thought a lot too about the the Anthony
Richardson play that saw him get sacked right and saw
him get hurt. Where there was there's the belief that, oh,
Anthony richards should have seen the you know, David Ajabo
come in sat and hitting him and should have moved
and delivered the football earlier. Then part of me was
the guy comes in absolutely unblocked and and there's no
(27:07):
I mean, come on, man, I mean, what do you
want him to do? Well?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
But it's also reading that right sure he's reading absolutely,
by the way, da MBP right, make sure he gets
his flowers and all of this, because neither of those
are really easy catches either.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
But uh, but the fact that here with Sanders, who
could have easily gotten sacked, but new, I need to
slide here back towards the middle of the field so
my running back has the lane to be able to
block the rusher and I can stand in and throw
the football. Like that's I mean, like those are instincts
that are just I don't know what to say that.
You know, that's a lot of football that Shador Sanders
(27:43):
has played. That's having a football acumen, and that's Anthony
Richardson not playing a lot of football and not being
able to be comfortable in those situations. So I mean
you can see that already that you know how how
Chador Sanders stands out right like that's a that's an incredible,
you know, night subtle thing to just say, I'm gonna
avoid the rush right here, step in and throw the football.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
The only thing you just you just slammed, you took
the Anthony Richardson and said it like, all right, he's
crossed that bar.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
The the only thing I saw, honestly. That I didn't
That that I didn't like was the couple of plays
where he decides to run and see what he can do,
and okay, and that's fine. That's nothing more than just well,
I have pretty good wheels. I can stay up. Oh
wait a minute, I can't. I'm not I'm not Michael
Vick fast. I'm not Russell Wilson fas. I'm not that
fast where I can get around these these defensive players,
(28:31):
because look, Panthers had a lot of their ones out
there tonight, right, I mean this is there's a lot
against a lot of ones that Sanders was doing this.
So that was the thing where I was like, okay,
you know, I didn't need to sit, but that's fine.
That's a rookie thing. When when he he ran off
the field after after the first time he got sacked
and it looked like he went up to his one
of his receivers and talked to him on the field
to like kind of yell at him. I was like, yeah, okay,
(28:52):
I don't know you need to do that. I mean,
whatever he didn't do, you can do it on the
you can do it on the sideline. Like that's a
little bit of the the cocky Shadoor say and stepping
through like go, okay, I don't know you need to
do that right on the field. But okay. But all
that is so minor because what you saw tonight, the
goods so far outweighed the bad.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
With him, well, yeah, we take the victory on a
Friday night. Absolutely Friday night wins baby.
Speaker 1 (29:14):

Speaker 9 (34:13):
But in the end, this statue isn't just for Pats fans.
It'll also give all the Jets fans something to throw
their beers at as they leave the stadium every year,
probably in the second quarter, probably for sure.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
The Brady statue dedication tonight before the Patriots win over
the Commanders and went at forty eight eighteen. You know,
why do I have to say good things about Tom?
I know, he's our teammate here at Fox. Why do
we gotta say good things he wants to say? Take
a night where hey, they got a statue for you,
and instead the Jets, who for some reason continue to
live rent free in your head. I don't know why.
I think Brady's record against the Jets was like seventy
(34:54):
six and two. But hey, goy, so take a shot
at my tea. It's a statue for you. But no,
now I'm gonna run out here. Four years old, Jets fans. Okay, five,
just Rady's one who's four years old.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
It's a statue of say that comeback of yours was
like you were in kindergarten.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Thanks, thanks for a lot, because you know, now what's
gonna happen. Jets fans are gonna take videos of themselves
throwing their beers and doing different things with the Tom
Brady statue. You know that's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
It was inevitable anyway. Sometimes, Look, if you're a comedian
and you know you can get a laugh from a
joke from twenty five years ago, you don't trot that out,
Oh man, you don't get the room revved up a
little bit. You don't think that you know, good old
ang Ball and all those guys, and they had, you know,
the blue Collar Comedy tour that they had their one liners,
like yeah, I probably should have retired that twenty years ago.
(35:42):
But you know what, it gets folthded excited. Here's your sign.
There you go, everybody cheer. Tom Brady did that by
just invoking the name Jets.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
No.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
And the thing is, and I wasn't gonna come out
here and say, look at that statue. That's gotta be
inflated all the way to its capacity. Right, that's that's
that's a fully inflated statue for Tom about like I
wasn't gonna.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Say that was hanging on the dumbest controversial Yeah nay,
professional sports.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Hey do you think you think Brady knew the statue
way ahead of time? You think they told him what
the statue was gonna look like ahead of time? So
we really knew way before everybody else. And he wasn't
really supposed to know, but he found a way to
know before. Like I wasn't gonna say that, but now
I am, because you want to you want to take it,
okay that the battle has been joined, you want to
do that. That's absolutely fine. Who hurt there? Say that
(36:28):
about the Jets? Brady did and the jack the whole
up the time, my entire the last twenty five years,
well not the last couple of years because the page
has been terrible. And we retired Bill Belichick, which is
awesome but happy to listen. And we started that the
Jets started the Brady era because of the hit Andrew
Bledsoe by mo lewis right, we would have.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
I mean they also started the Brady era, not wanting
to go coach. Where's that napkin?
Speaker 1 (36:53):
At?
Speaker 2 (36:54):
How much would that be worth than the memorabilia market?
Speaker 1 (36:57):
If I bet you, I bet you're rich. Samini has that? No,
I WoT she's got that somewhere. I bet that's all
the boater rich sign? I bet, I bet, I bet rich, Samiti.
You went up and grabbed it with the napkins? Hey?
Can I get that napkin? Yeah? Sure, I don't want it, Mike?
Speaker 5 (37:10):
Should we pull back the curtain?
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Here? Go ahead, Buddy.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
Jason actually wears Tom Brady's jockstrap signed at all times.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
It would make you mighty powerful. That is absolutely true.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
Game warn signed define all times? Oh you never take
it off? No, there's times some things showered.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Well, now you went too far, because now you washed
off the essence of Brady.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Tub Hey, where's that lub? Hey? That loof is gonna
move around the jockstrap? Right? So I okay, that's great,
All right, that's bad? Okay, good Now nice to clean that. Hey,
everything smells great. I feel awesome.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Seventeen foot high statue.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
Did you wear that when uh you were on fireman
Ed's shoulders?
Speaker 1 (37:58):
No? No, no, no, can't do that, man, he would,
he would know you'd wear that fireman that would go
Wait a minute, that's Tom Brady's jockstrap behind me. You
got to take that off. Your smell okay, okay because
you know what, Yeah, because because for us it smells
like defeat. That's what it smells. And I don't mean
f E E T like Rex Ryan, I mean like
defeat d E f e A T. It smells like defeat.
(38:19):
Well you all know what the other smells like thee
in the aftermath. Defeat would be all right too.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
That's also a reminder the last time you were good,
guess what the feet master was after it? So, uh,
you know what, get him back and cooking and maybe
you have some success again.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
What tysher Where's where? Where's your blow? You have really
great feet? Where where does that usually have that? At
the drop of a hat?
Speaker 5 (38:42):
Are you trying to critique me right now.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
A little bit? Yeah, I'm figuring, Okay, where where this
is like a fastball down the middle for you? And
it's like, no, I'm not gonna do it like.
Speaker 10 (38:50):
Then, Jason, Wow, Wow, look at Alex tyshert. He talks
way better than you would you stop, would just stop the.
Speaker 5 (39:01):
Floor was yours.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
That was your one chance to attack Tom Brady and
you literally did nothing.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
What do you mean? What do you mean? I said
I had a couple of great one he wanted to
go back twenty five years. I went back like like
not one fteen years. Sorry.
Speaker 5 (39:18):
Yeah, I'll one thing about his family or kids.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Yeah no, no, no, no, yeah no no.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
I I didn't say you had three hours of a
roast that you could have kicked any number of.
Speaker 5 (39:26):
Yeah, you might as well have blessed him.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
I I this time is blessed. Uh No, I mean, look, hey,
if you want, if he wants to spend time on
his statue talking about the Jets, okay, right, okay again,
rent free in his head for some ridiculous reason. But
that's all I mean.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Look, we all have our conquests and uh, triumphs in
our lives, whatever they may be.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
And when you own a team like that, and again,
you're you're playing to your fan base. And who do
they hate and love to mock more than anybody else
because they because they can't celebrate victories anymore because the
team stinks, so they can't celebrate Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
So now it's like, oh at least we're better than
you guys. We're we're just just another team, but we're
better than you guys. That's where the Patriots are at now. Man,
it's what they have, it's all they have, it's all
they have. Uh, we'll have more of the statue and
more the biggest NFL story the night. Coming up next
right here, Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio,
Greetings, Welcome inside Happy Friday, the Jason Smith Show with
my base friend Mike Harmon. For over forty years, Tirerack's
been open. Customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive, shipped fast and free, backed by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation. Tirac dot Com is the way tire buying
(00:23):
should be. It is already been some kind of Friday,
and we still have a lot left to go here.
In football, we'll get to Shador Sanders in a second.
But sometimes, you know, the scariest moments in sports bring
out the best in us. And that's clearly a case
that unfortunately we saw and then saw the reaction in
(00:45):
tonight's preseason game between the Lions and the Falcons. This
game was suspended and ended early in the fourth quarter
with the Lions winning seventeen to ten after Maurice Norris
of the Lions is injured. Looked very serious on a
on a tackle he attempts to make. Norris goes in
to make the tackle. You see his head kind of
snap back. There's seizure activity in his legs and right
(01:08):
away personnel came out. They took him away in an ambulance,
prayers up for him. Will have an update on him
as soon as we do in this game, and it
really was something I mean to see the Lions and
Falcons decide with each other. They held hands around him
as he was being tended to on the field, and
they decided we're not gonna play. And the next play
(01:29):
happened and the ball was snapped and the clock ticked,
and I don't know if there were still some unsuredness
as to what was going on on the field, it
was gonna happen, but both teams decided amongst themselves that's it.
This game is over, and that was the That was
the final snap, and they suspended the game with about
fourteen minutes left to go, the Lions and Falcons again
deciding this right after they watched Norris get taken off
(01:52):
the field and again, we'll have an update for you
as soon as we do. He was taken to the hospital,
but the two teams decided, okay, this game is done,
and out of respect for him. It was a very
much a Tomorrow Hamlin esque situation where we watched it
and said, okay, what's gonna happen now? Clearly, fourteen minutes
left in game one of the preseason, there really is
no need to finish the game, and I am I'm
glad to see humanity and concern for Norris kind of
(02:15):
just take over. And that's what we saw, and that's
how the game ended. You see the snap and players
just kind of standing there, going, we're not gonna play.
So this is kind of the end of the game,
and the game ended a great moment of humanity and
together it's an NFL brotherhood between the Lions and the Falcons. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I mean you talk about the fraternity, right, and all
the guys that we know and we've worked with through
the years, you watch games with them, and when there's
a moment of this nature, it still resonates on that
grand scale. And certainly you know with the type of
adrenaline and the way players have to be right in
(02:53):
terms of their readiness for that next play, and certainly
regular season we know there be a suspension of play
and eventually they get back into it because of the stakes.
In this particular case, Uh, you recognize what this moment means. Uh.
And against a preseason the fans understood it, right, A
(03:14):
lot of a lot of people emotional uh shown and
certainly outside the prayer circles and everything that flow through,
So all thoughts with with Norris, his family, his teammates
and everybody. But yeah, showing the humanity of this moment,
much bigger stakes, you know, in the injury as it occurred,
(03:35):
takes the the knee and to your point, Jason, Uh,
the immediacy of trainers, uh, quick acting personnel and credit
to you know how quickly everybody mobilized and recognized the
severity of the moment. And then look, the game doesn't
matter at that point, right, It's all about, you know,
(03:58):
putting all the effort towards Norris and his his health
and getting him the help he needs.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And and still I mean you hear it in my
voice as as I'm saying it, because I watched the
replay a couple of times, probably one too many. Because
we recognize the fragility of things when we talk about
contact sports at every level and in the NFL, you know,
here it is spotlight that today we've got a lot
of positives to talk about and the love of the
(04:26):
football being back, but also you know that grim reminder
of what can happen just so quickly and I'll.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Play Yeah, I mean, it's something you'll see and and
he goes in for a tackle and it's a helmet
to the knee and you see is his head kind
of snap back and and uh, you know, look, it's something.
It's it's part of the game, and it's an it's
an awful part of the game. And it's such an
unfortunate part of the game. And unfortunately we've seen it
now a couple of times over the course of the
(04:52):
past few years, and everybody's got their fingers crossed again.
As soon as we hear any moments on this, we
will we will let you know. But sometimes we respond
to our most difficult moments by displaying the best of us.
And that clearly was the Lions and the Falcons tonight again,
this game suspended with about fourteen minutes to go, seventeen
to ten game, and they're really it didn't seem to
me like there was any like there was any question
(05:15):
that that was they were going to do. Mike, like
I said, Okay, they're gonna do this, and just line
up and say we're doing this. Far they could have
easily said look, we're not doing it and made it
some kind of you know, we're walking off the field
and there's a lot of craziness and bizarreness and what's happening,
or the teams refusing to play, but by getting up
there and saying, okay, this play is gonna run the
last fourteen minutes. Okay, you know you're not gonna blow
(05:36):
the whistle, and this is this is how we're gonna
do it. And I thought stepping up and showing not
just deciding hey we're walking away, we're done, but to
stand up and say, hey, we're doing this moment for you.
This was kind of an extra way to do it
because they easily could have just said, hey, we're not
gonna play. Okay, that's fine, the coaches talk and where
and we're gonna you go to your sideline. You go
(05:56):
to your sideline, we'll do a quick congratulations, and that's
how it's gonna end. But this say hey, we're snapping
the football and not playing for you. It's there. It
was their way of doing even a bigger moment for
him on the field, which I thought was, I mean,
what what again? Sometimes these these moments bring out the
best in this That clear was that was an incredible
decision uh from the from the Lions and Falcons on this,
(06:18):
I can't say enough about it.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, the recognition of what what's uh at play here?
Right the the game gets minimized and we we see
this uh far too often, uh happily not too too
too much, uh you know, in in the grand scale
of how many games are played. But it's you know,
(06:40):
still the severity of it, you know, wreck that recognition,
uh and that moment and to your point, just going
running out the clock, all right, games gone to zeros,
let's go uh and let's put our thoughts where they
need to be. Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
So again, we'll continue to update this story throughout the night. Again,
best thoughts to Norris's family lines as well. But look,
our business is sports, and we go to the biggest
story coming into tonight on the field when we talk
about a big level of interest. We saw the debut
of Shador Sanders tonight for the Cleveland Browns and look,
(07:17):
I'll be honest, game had ended thirty to ten. There's
two things for this game, right right, There's two things.
There's the first one is what we think about Shador Sanders,
and then the second part is reality. And you know,
I kept thinking of this tonight. I knew, Okay, Sanders
is gonna come out and he's gonna and he's gonna play.
He's gonna go ball to the wall, right, Like he
know this is his chance to win the job. He
(07:39):
wants to show everybody I'm the guy that you thought
I was in college. I'm not a fifth round pick.
I need to seize this job. I'm getting a chance here.
And I kept thinking of that, that Herb Brooks moment
from Miracle when he starts his speech to the guys
and he says, and Kurt Ross I just hear in
Kurt Russell's voice now when he says, great moments are
born from great opportunity, and that's you have here tonight, gentlemen,
(08:00):
that's what you've earned tonight. Right and thought, and I thought,
that's exactly the deal for Shador Sanders. All this craziness,
all the Browns was setting him up to felt no
Browns will put him out there to play like there
he's the only.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Guy healthy enough to play. He's been there for a
minute and a half. I mean, what the hell that
more analysis is there than.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
That he's one of your four guys, right, Okay, So
this is how it's gonna go. And he goes out
and in the beginning he did some good things, and
he did some rookie things. Okay, you had a great
scramble for a first down, you know, a couple of
bad decisions, you know, trying to run around like he
would have done in college when clearly, okay, that doesn't
happen in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Is that the right of passage? Do you have to
check that one on your Bingo card? Now, if you're
a quarterback with any ability to move laterally that you
have to do that play like it's a video game.
So Chris Berman would be able to go whoop whoop
nine times before the play ends.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
He said, hey, Russell Wilson, watch this. I've seen you
do this for a long time. You're ready. So he
did some things, He did some good things, and he
did some rookie things. And then the second quarter he
played extremely well. Right two touchdowns, including this one, the
very first touchdown of Shador Sanders NFL career. Take a listen,
seven year veteran Treyyon Williams in the backfield, play fake
(09:15):
to him, Sanders looking throwing down Payden Davis.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Shador Sanders. Welcome to the NNFL.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Brown's Rose Chris Rose on Brown's TV with the call. There, Yes,
that Chris Rose with the call the first of two
touchdowns by Shador Sanders for the night, fourteen out of
twenty three, one hundred and thirty eight yards and two touchdowns.
Right now, here's here's the thing, because people go, I mean,
there's nothing crazier than what people have even after Shador
(09:50):
Sanders when he handed the ball off the first time, Oh,
that was a great handoff by schendor what a great
handoff by Shador Sanders. He absolutely played well enough to
keep the gig. Like, what do we say the other night?
If he plays well enough, let him run with it? Right,
you don't need to say he's the starter. And there's
a again, there's a bigger conversation, but for right now,
the results what we saw in this game, there is
(10:12):
no reason to say, hey, okay, Joe Flacco, you go
back to get all the reps. No, let Shadour run
with a little bit. You know I I always say
the same thing, and you saw it. They said it
on the broadcast a lot to night. What do I say,
I look for our quarterbacks. The first and the most
important thing that the game is not too big for them,
and that it's not too much. It's not too okay.
The game is going really fast right now. The old
Bill Parcell's line, I want to see if rookie's eyes
(10:34):
get real milky in the lights and they it's it's
a twister andiem aniem and it wasn't. And he made
some big throws and he got more comfortable as the
game went on. There is no reason to not allow
him to continue to run with the ones and get
the lion's share of the reps and continue on here
and act as the de facto number one quarterback. Look,
(10:56):
Joe Flacco's been around a lot. They interviewed him during
the game. He talked about his comfort level with the
offense and how well Shadoor Sanders is playing, and that's awesome.
You don't need to see Joe Flacco, right You tell
Joe Flacco, Look, Joe, here's a deal. You know, we
have these rookie quarterbacks. Singer, you know where you're at,
and he understands, we're gonna let your door go here
a little bit and run with this job. And then
we see where we're at we have, we have a
long preseason, got another couple of weeks to go, we
(11:18):
got a month before the beginning of the season starts.
We're gonna give him a little bit more of an opportunity,
and Joe Flacco's got to understand that, and if he doesn't,
it doesn't matter. I mean, you see, Shador Sanders absolutely
was the guy we thought he would be when we
thought he was the second overall picking the draft, going
behind cam Ward. There is no reason to not say,
shaudor you were great. You're gonna continue to run with
(11:39):
the ones you are now running as the number one
quarterback with the Cleveland Browns for this summer. And I
don't I don't think there's any way you can come
out of this and not do that for him. I
don't see how you don't.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Well, in the end, the other guys are aren't healthy
enough to run anyway, So by default, I think he's
gonna get some more run here. Uh. You know, look,
you play against who's on the field with you, whether
they're the ones for the Panthers or twos or threes
or whatever it is. Panthers aren't great anyway, So grain
(12:12):
of salt with something. I'm not trying to pour water
on the notion of what he accomplished. Those throws were great.
I want to give a lot of nod on that
first touchdown pass to the concentration of the receiver as
that ball whiz between a couple of defenders to not
have that either bounce off his face mask or sail
through his hands. Good job by him. The second great
(12:33):
throw that he made down the sideline on the fingertips, Hey,
you got to give a guy a chance to make
a play where the defenders aren't and he did that.
What it means long term, like the hyperbole is going
to be there, I'm certainly not pouring a giant bucket
of water on it. Because it's a great first step. Right,
you have the growth moments of the scramble plays and
(12:56):
the chaos there, and then you settle in and take
advantage of what's afforded to you by the defense. How
that gets read by the professionals in the room and
when they go back to evaluate it in the post,
that's on them, you know. For us being loud mounts
on the radio, I'm like, hey, I want to see more,
all right, add more to it, right, it's like, you know,
(13:18):
we discussed and had a little disagreement with the Anthony
Richardson stuff yesterday. In the end, you gotta pile it
on and see how much he can take, you know,
in terms of acumen and what he still needs to
learn and develop, and try to put him in an
opportunity to see that growth. And for now, Joe Flacco,
we know what he is. He's gonna come in, he's
(13:39):
gonna wing the ball around, and there's gonna be some
great moments. There's gonna be some terrible moments. Oh wait,
isn't that what you expect from a rookie quarterback that
you drafted in the fifth round? In the end, your
your your aspirations other than Miles Garrett stowing the company
line because he's you know, got a massive ass check
sticking out of his back pocket. Yeah, super Bowl baby,
(14:01):
it's like everybody else recognize it. It's a train wreck.
So if you can go and get him some meaningful
reps and get a true evaluation, I don't see why
you wouldn't. Once you get to the regular season, I
guess in September you still have to sell hope, which
is why you see Flacco or picket at that point.
But even still, we got a lot of football that
(14:22):
needs to be played here, Jason. I'm sure several teams
are gonna have a quarterback that comes up a little
less than one hundred, So all of a sudden, one
of those guys could be a viable trade option.

(16:35):
stellar debutre of Shador Sanders coming up in a second.
But we have an update on Mon Norris, Lions dB,
who was injured early in the fourth quarter of the
Lions game against the Falcons tonight. It was a bad
head injury. You could see his next snap back, his
head snap back when he goes in for a tackle.
There were spasming in the legs. They took him off
(16:57):
the field in the ambulance and a great moment of
brotherhood and solidarity and humanity where the team's decided we're
not going to play the rest of the game. We're
gonna snap the football once and that's it. And the
game was suspended and ended at seventeen ten with fourteen
and a half minutes to go in the fourth quarter.
Now we're gonna go to Dan Campbell right now. He
just met the media and he has an update and
(17:19):
he has good news about the status of monors. Take
a listen.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
So with this, you know, obviously thoughts and person and
mow Norris. We got some positive information on him when
he's at the hospital. I'll have to just leave it
at that. But but obviously, you know, you know, something
that happens, it puts things in the perspective. So I
(17:45):
just praying from my last about the perfect praisefully.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Questions you said positive, can you share what the positives is?
More breathing?
Speaker 7 (17:55):
You know it's breathing.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
He's talking. That's good.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
He's got some move movies.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
No longer tests, so that that's great news right there,
as you heard Dan Campbell say, he's breathing, he's talking,
and there's some movement. You know, the fact that he
comes out, he look, he's the first person that's going
to say something publicly, and you know, not to try
to read into but when he comes out and says
there's a positive update from the hospital, he's not going
(18:22):
to come out and say, we have a positive update
if if things are you know, if things are touching,
go obviously, Hey, great thoughts and prayers to him. But
the best news of what everyone is crossing their fingers
hoping to hear is that he's moving, he's awake, he's talking,
and all three of those things happens as you heard
him say. There, he's he's awake, he's talking, he's got
(18:42):
some movement. So a positive update on mo Norris, which
is which is phenomenal news. And and you know, look,
all the best thoughts and prayers to him is as
he continues this night, as he you know, continues to
recover from what happened on the field.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I watched the clip a couple of times as you know,
I'm watching uh and and watching Pi Yankees loose, UH
and looking at Dan Campbell's countenance as he's out, very emotional.
Obviously his guy, what he means in the locker room,
guys around the team multiple years and everything. And when
(19:16):
he gave the you know, there's positive news, it's it's
almost like the referring of like, you don't want to
put a bunch of stuff out there. So I was
a little surprised when the reporter asked for specificity that
he gave it so so willingly. But obviously it's something
that you know on your heart, and you know you
want you want everybody to to at least see that
(19:37):
positivity right and give that, you know, feed hope as
you can.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
So you could see that that he was a bit
conflicted even in his his countenance there how much he
was going to give. But then you know the hey,
this this could be a good thing for everybody to
keep those you know, prayers and and all of that
energy uh that was coming in on the field and
in the stands and around and you know football, the
football universe. The positivity went on to a long explanation
(20:05):
about the brotherhood of football, you know, and and the
silver lining in it, uh that you know, as we
talked about to open things here tonight, Jason, that that
positivity and and what these guys all mean to each
other in the larger scope.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
So again good news from Honoris. Again, as you heard
Dan Campbell say, they're breathing talking, there's some movement. As
we learn more tonight, we will continue to let you know.
But again that's straight from Dan Campbell.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Just moments ago the Jason Smithson with Mike Carmon live
from the Fox Sports Radio studios, and look our businesses football,
our businesses sports, and and and look, the the Shadoor
Sanders story is just incredibly exciting to get to and
and and look it's we talked about it a few
minutes ago, right his debut tonight for the Browns, and
(20:52):
and how good he was right throwing two touchdowns, and
I said, there's no way you can't not let him
run with the ones. Now, you don't have to give
him a job. Ran, I'm gonna say, I'll gi him
a job. He's great, you know what I have odd,
oh my goodness. But there's no reason that he shouldn't
be in pole position right now when you what you doing.
You know, I say it all the time, you don't
(21:15):
know about a quarterback until you see him with the
lights on, until you see when the footballs fly for real.
That's when you really that's when you learn about a quarterback.
And you could see schador standers and camp and seven
on seven's and all kinds of stuff, but you never
learn about a guy until you see him on the field.
And you knew he was gonna prepare and play like
he was preparing for a game at Colorado, whether they're
playing Nebraska or some or Oregon or somebody else. It's
(21:38):
a big deal. He's not a veteran preparing where Yeah,
I'm good. We're gonna go out, gonna play a couple
of series, gonna hand the ball off, make a couple
of throws. Everything's good, A fine can stretch the pads
out all No, you knew he was gonna prepare, and
you can tell he was prepared for everything. And but
before we get to the to the bigger aspect of
this is that, you know, the one play that really
sold me on him is his second touchdown pass of
(22:01):
the game, right the one just before HALFTIMEE. Look, he
made a lot of big throws, right. He started out
a little shaky. He did some good things, did some
bad things. But he takes the Browns on a big
drive near the end of the first half and he
throws a touchdown pass and Caden Davis twelve yards over
the middle. And to see him have the presence of
(22:23):
mind with the rusher coming in, he just knows, I
have to sidestep a little bit more towards the center
of the field to allow the running back to be
able to block him where I'm gonna get an avenue
to deliver the football. And he stands in and throws
the football for a touchdown to Davis. And this is
the best of Shador Sanders on display on one play
(22:44):
because as you've seen, his instincts at quarterback are tremendous.
He has incredible instincts at quarterback. You saw it to Colorado.
Whatever you want to say, because there's other parts about him.
I get, like, there's some stuff from tonight and we'll
get to it. But the instincts that he has are tremendous.
And the other thing him he is a tough kid.
He is gonna stand in there and deliver the football.
(23:05):
No matter what happens, no matter what kind of hit
he takes. We saw that time and again a ca
I mean, you don't want to take those hits. But
the Colorado offensive line really wasn't great, so I you know,
sometimes you have no choice. But there's no scatter shot,
there's no I'm running out of trouble. I'm I'm tucking
the ball under because my first read isn't there. I'm
panicking in the pocket. He is that kid. He is
(23:27):
gonna stand in there and he is gonna deliver the
football whether he gets drilled or not. And that is
that is something that is so valuable to a young
quarterback where you don't have to that accinuates the learning
curve so much when you don't have to worry about
a little happy feet in the pocket, or here's somebody
around you, and and and you can feel the pressure
(23:48):
behind you, and you know what, I'm just gonna take
off of the football. There's guys been in the league five, seven,
ten years that still take off with the football a
little earlier than they should. Justin fields. There's still guys
who do that. Shador Sanders is not that guy. Little
bit of mobility showed you what he scrambled for that
first down, which is awesome, but he is gonna stay
in there and throw the football. And you saw he
is fearless in the pocket, and that is an incredible
(24:10):
trait for quarterback to have. Yeah, there's that fine line
between savvy and crazy, and we'll have to figure out
where that is a play to play basis, cause I mean,
we go back to the Colorado tape and it's like
we talk about all often, and maybe I hammered down
on the guy a little harder than others. With Caleb
Williams a year ago, everybody was quick to point out, ah,
(24:32):
look at all.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
The sacks and offensive lines chairball. No, they weren't good,
and clearly they addressed it in the offseason. But I
think if you did the giant pie chart, there were
an awful lot of those that half the weight should
have gone on old number eighteen's back. Same thing with
Shdor Sanders, the number of times he would stand in
perhaps a beat longer than he needed to. And you
(24:54):
sometimes say, hey, you know what you live to see
another day. Right now, we're worrying about the back status
of Matthew Stafford. Now he's got many a weary mile
on his his body at this point. But guess what
that's been his calling card for his entire career. Boy,
he's one tough so ob. Yeah, every once in a
while you can get rid of the ball a step earlier,
(25:15):
perhaps and live to see another down for Shador Sanders. Look,
I don't want to be the guy to to reign
on the parade here because it was obviously a great debut.
But you know they built the statue for seven point
three million dollars out there in New England and in Boston.
You know, well, I'm not I'm not so quick to
(25:36):
start my silly putty version for Shudor Sanders after you know,
a start against the Panthers. But I come away encouraged
that he's a guy that, like he's been under the
spotlight that's surname, has done it. What happened those couple
of years at Colorado, He's certainly seen anything that can
be written about a guy. He didn't help himself in
(25:57):
a couple of circumstances, for sure, kind of agging it on,
and you know, the bravado at times can going after
opponents on the field. A couple of speeding tickets, so
he'll he'll play in the fast lane, no question, and
welcome a bit of that. So the the next bad play,
certainly the poison pens will be out for But for
(26:17):
one night, the Sickaphants got everything they wanted and then
some and and they're lining up across social media for it.
But you know we'll see, you know, there there will
be hard times. He's playing for the Browns. So we
take the positive today, take the opponent. You can only
beat and play who's on the field. So for tonight
(26:37):
we celebrate that. You can take little bits of that
film and see some good traits that you can now
work with if you're Stefanski and that offensive staff.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, I thought a lot too about the the Anthony
Richardson play that saw him get sacked right and saw
him get hurt. Where there was there's the belief that, oh,
Anthony richards should have seen the you know, David Ajabo
come in sat and hitting him and should have moved
and delivered the football earlier. Then part of me was
the guy comes in absolutely unblocked and and there's no
(27:07):
I mean, come on, man, I mean, what do you
want him to do? Well?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
But it's also reading that right sure he's reading absolutely,
by the way, da MBP right, make sure he gets
his flowers and all of this, because neither of those
are really easy catches either.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
But uh, but the fact that here with Sanders, who
could have easily gotten sacked, but new, I need to
slide here back towards the middle of the field so
my running back has the lane to be able to
block the rusher and I can stand in and throw
the football. Like that's I mean, like those are instincts
that are just I don't know what to say that.
You know, that's a lot of football that Shador Sanders
(27:43):
has played. That's having a football acumen, and that's Anthony
Richardson not playing a lot of football and not being
able to be comfortable in those situations. So I mean
you can see that already that you know how how
Chador Sanders stands out right like that's a that's an incredible,
you know, night subtle thing to just say, I'm gonna
avoid the rush right here, step in and throw the football.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
The only thing you just you just slammed, you took
the Anthony Richardson and said it like, all right, he's
crossed that bar.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
The the only thing I saw, honestly. That I didn't
That that I didn't like was the couple of plays
where he decides to run and see what he can do,
and okay, and that's fine. That's nothing more than just well,
I have pretty good wheels. I can stay up. Oh
wait a minute, I can't. I'm not I'm not Michael
Vick fast. I'm not Russell Wilson fas. I'm not that
fast where I can get around these these defensive players,
(28:31):
because look, Panthers had a lot of their ones out
there tonight, right, I mean this is there's a lot
against a lot of ones that Sanders was doing this.
So that was the thing where I was like, okay,
you know, I didn't need to sit, but that's fine.
That's a rookie thing. When when he he ran off
the field after after the first time he got sacked
and it looked like he went up to his one
of his receivers and talked to him on the field
to like kind of yell at him. I was like, yeah, okay,
(28:52):
I don't know you need to do that. I mean,
whatever he didn't do, you can do it on the
you can do it on the sideline. Like that's a
little bit of the the cocky Shadoor say and stepping
through like go, okay, I don't know you need to
do that right on the field. But okay. But all
that is so minor because what you saw tonight, the
goods so far outweighed the bad.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
With him, well, yeah, we take the victory on a
Friday night. Absolutely Friday night wins baby.
Speaker 1 (29:14):

Patriots game is the play of the day.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
Jason, redo your toss? Come on?
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Well? Well, okay, okay, The play of the day is this?
Oh no, I know, and it's gonna be I thought
it was gonna be the Kigoff return. I just do
it this, okay.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Just do it.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I thought it was gonna be the kicker. Okay, this
from the Patriots game tonight.
Speaker 9 (34:13):
But in the end, this statue isn't just for Pats fans.
It'll also give all the Jets fans something to throw
their beers at as they leave the stadium every year,
probably in the second quarter, probably for sure.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
The Brady statue dedication tonight before the Patriots win over
the Commanders and went at forty eight eighteen. You know,
why do I have to say good things about Tom?
I know, he's our teammate here at Fox. Why do
we gotta say good things he wants to say? Take
a night where hey, they got a statue for you,
and instead the Jets, who for some reason continue to
live rent free in your head. I don't know why.
I think Brady's record against the Jets was like seventy
(34:54):
six and two. But hey, goy, so take a shot
at my tea. It's a statue for you. But no,
now I'm gonna run out here. Four years old, Jets fans. Okay, five,
just Rady's one who's four years old.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
It's a statue of say that comeback of yours was
like you were in kindergarten.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Thanks, thanks for a lot, because you know, now what's
gonna happen. Jets fans are gonna take videos of themselves
throwing their beers and doing different things with the Tom
Brady statue. You know that's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
It was inevitable anyway. Sometimes, Look, if you're a comedian
and you know you can get a laugh from a
joke from twenty five years ago, you don't trot that out,
Oh man, you don't get the room revved up a
little bit. You don't think that you know, good old
ang Ball and all those guys, and they had, you know,
the blue Collar Comedy tour that they had their one liners,
like yeah, I probably should have retired that twenty years ago.
(35:42):
But you know what, it gets folthded excited. Here's your sign.
There you go, everybody cheer. Tom Brady did that by
just invoking the name Jets.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
No.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
And the thing is, and I wasn't gonna come out
here and say, look at that statue. That's gotta be
inflated all the way to its capacity. Right, that's that's
that's a fully inflated statue for Tom about like I
wasn't gonna.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Say that was hanging on the dumbest controversial Yeah nay,
professional sports.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Hey do you think you think Brady knew the statue
way ahead of time? You think they told him what
the statue was gonna look like ahead of time? So
we really knew way before everybody else. And he wasn't
really supposed to know, but he found a way to
know before. Like I wasn't gonna say that, but now
I am, because you want to you want to take it,
okay that the battle has been joined, you want to
do that. That's absolutely fine. Who hurt there? Say that
(36:28):
about the Jets? Brady did and the jack the whole
up the time, my entire the last twenty five years,
well not the last couple of years because the page
has been terrible. And we retired Bill Belichick, which is
awesome but happy to listen. And we started that the
Jets started the Brady era because of the hit Andrew
Bledsoe by mo lewis right, we would have.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
I mean they also started the Brady era, not wanting
to go coach. Where's that napkin?
Speaker 1 (36:53):
At?
Speaker 2 (36:54):
How much would that be worth than the memorabilia market?
Speaker 1 (36:57):
If I bet you, I bet you're rich. Samini has that? No,
I WoT she's got that somewhere. I bet that's all
the boater rich sign? I bet, I bet, I bet rich, Samiti.
You went up and grabbed it with the napkins? Hey?
Can I get that napkin? Yeah? Sure, I don't want it, Mike?
Speaker 5 (37:10):
Should we pull back the curtain?
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Here? Go ahead, Buddy.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
Jason actually wears Tom Brady's jockstrap signed at all times.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
It would make you mighty powerful. That is absolutely true.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
Game warn signed define all times? Oh you never take
it off? No, there's times some things showered.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Well, now you went too far, because now you washed
off the essence of Brady.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Tub Hey, where's that lub? Hey? That loof is gonna
move around the jockstrap? Right? So I okay, that's great,
All right, that's bad? Okay, good Now nice to clean that. Hey,
everything smells great. I feel awesome.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Seventeen foot high statue.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
Did you wear that when uh you were on fireman
Ed's shoulders?
Speaker 1 (37:58):
No? No, no, no, can't do that, man, he would,
he would know you'd wear that fireman that would go
Wait a minute, that's Tom Brady's jockstrap behind me. You
got to take that off. Your smell okay, okay because
you know what, Yeah, because because for us it smells
like defeat. That's what it smells. And I don't mean
f E E T like Rex Ryan, I mean like
defeat d E f e A T. It smells like defeat.
(38:19):
Well you all know what the other smells like thee
in the aftermath. Defeat would be all right too.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
That's also a reminder the last time you were good,
guess what the feet master was after it? So, uh,
you know what, get him back and cooking and maybe
you have some success again.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
What tysher Where's where? Where's your blow? You have really
great feet? Where where does that usually have that? At
the drop of a hat?
Speaker 5 (38:42):
Are you trying to critique me right now.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
A little bit? Yeah, I'm figuring, Okay, where where this
is like a fastball down the middle for you? And
it's like, no, I'm not gonna do it like.
Speaker 10 (38:50):
Then, Jason, Wow, Wow, look at Alex tyshert. He talks
way better than you would you stop, would just stop the.
Speaker 5 (39:01):
Floor was yours.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
That was your one chance to attack Tom Brady and
you literally did nothing.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
What do you mean? What do you mean? I said
I had a couple of great one he wanted to
go back twenty five years. I went back like like
not one fteen years. Sorry.
Speaker 5 (39:18):
Yeah, I'll one thing about his family or kids.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Yeah no, no, no, no, yeah no no.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
I I didn't say you had three hours of a
roast that you could have kicked any number of.
Speaker 5 (39:26):
Yeah, you might as well have blessed him.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
I I this time is blessed. Uh No, I mean, look, hey,
if you want, if he wants to spend time on
his statue talking about the Jets, okay, right, okay again,
rent free in his head for some ridiculous reason. But
that's all I mean.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Look, we all have our conquests and uh, triumphs in
our lives, whatever they may be.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
And when you own a team like that, and again,
you're you're playing to your fan base. And who do
they hate and love to mock more than anybody else
because they because they can't celebrate victories anymore because the
team stinks, so they can't celebrate Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
So now it's like, oh at least we're better than
you guys. We're we're just just another team, but we're
better than you guys. That's where the Patriots are at now. Man,
it's what they have, it's all they have, it's all
they have. Uh, we'll have more of the statue and
