We're gonna move on for sal Ku live for me
(02:18):

those are the ways to do that.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Let me go. Come in.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
My partner for the day and the next couple of days. Actually,
I'm here, man, you can't get rid of me. I know, well,
you know, somebody tried. What's up, man?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
How are you? How are you good?
Speaker 4 (02:32):
You're spending money on kids birthday? Hey, it's oh they're
in school. That's I wake up.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
I drop them off for school and not going with life, man,
And I'm happy for that. Even though these damn AAU
basketball tournaments don't stop. I got another one in in
Anaheim again this weekend.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
How many guys that play in the weekend? Twenty two?
Speaker 5 (02:51):
He plays up too, so he plays eleven U twelve U,
so he can get eight games in a week.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Dude, gone o the days these are playing basketball?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, get it all in you now.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Look it's and I'm okay with it because we also
practice three times a week, right instead of just one time?
And you yeah, no, no, no, So you know they practice.
He trains on Monday and Wednesday, but he practiced on Tuesday,
Thursday and Friday.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Then we play on the weekends.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
And just trying to get him to he's a young eleven,
so just to be able to control his body and
understand it, he's got to be stronger with the ball
and things like that. I mean, he's a knockdown shooter,
so he can always do that. But it's just just
growing his his basketball IQ. So when he does wake
up sixt' nine, this thing that is gonna happen will gigantic.
(03:47):
It will happen. His mom my wife is is almost
six feet two.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
So yeah, we all.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Look uncus unk over here, like, oh, it's gonna happen.
I'm telling you, and it's you know, it's it's something
he loves.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
He's passionate about it, and I keep telling him after
every tournament, whether he does good or bad, I say,
you still want to do this, and it's important for me.
Like I have a fourteen year old's in high school
now who's about six' to. Two he can care less about.
Basketball it's not.

Man they put him somewhere in the whole in the
office in the. Corner for over forty, years Tire.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Reck has been helping customers find the right tires for,
how what and where they. Drive ship fast and free
back by Free road has a protection with convenient installation
options like mobile tire, installation tire rack dot com the
way tire boys should. Be let's get into the, show all,
Right SO i just mentioned it kind of teased it
earlier because our guests coming up next. Hour if you
are a boxing, fan well you've got some boxing. ISH
(06:37):
i don't know what you want to call. This we
have a fight coming For november. Fourteen Jake paul And
Javonte Tank davis are going to be fighting in the.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Ats shout.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
It they'll be down In atlanta with this. Fight it'll
Be it's, Confirmed so it's a real. Thing and the
contracted weight has yet to be determined because obviously around. Fighting,
wait there's about a fifty fifth fifty five pound difference
between the two, normally, yes so that's.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Crazy, wait but here we go.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Again this one just happens kind of out of the,
blue as we have to me the big fight we've
all been wanting in less than a month now In
canelo And Bud. Crawford so this is HOW i view,
this And rob AND i have had this conversation because
we've had two or three of these types of fights
now Since i've joined the.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Show Jake.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Paul first of, all they let a YouTuber come in
and hijack the. Sport that's number, One number, Two Jake
paul is A chrysler three hundred To Bud crawford And canelo's.
Phantom WHAT i mean by that is it looks like
boxing kind of sorta smells, like it feels, like it
(07:48):
sounds like, it but it ain't real. Boxing and the
trouble on the ISSUE i have with this one from
is that you Got Tank davis is an actual real
fighter in his. Prime he's only thirty and as somebody
who's been Poundful pond one of the best for the
last handful of you, know half a decade or. So
and so this is the scary part is for boxing
and boxing, fans is it's one thing for me to
(08:10):
get an almost sixty year Old Mike, tyson, Right, okay
we all know he's kind of, washed and maybe he
was doing it for, money maybe he was doing it for,
this maybe he's doing it for. That it's another thing
to go get A Nate robinson who was a basketball,
player and THEN i bring him into this world BECAUSE
i can throw some.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Hands no you, can't you got them hands put on, You.
Nick it's another thing to go GET mma fighters and
all of.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
That when you go get an actual real, boxer for
real boxer who is a knockout artist who is still
in his, prime and now you put him and you
put him in this. Exhibition this just shows me right
now that the sport is officially. Gone and the only
hope we have Is september, Thirteenth canelo And Bud, crawford
because hopefully we see That phantom Rolls.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Royce, oh that's what real boxing. Is that's the real.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Deal and then we get tired of what we're Gonnay
AND i think what's sad about this is a little
bit is you have guys who are doing anything for
a paycheck and slightly being. EXPLOITED i THINK i want
to jump all up in his. Business But tank's got
some legal stuff going on right. Now AND i think
when you look at what because he's a real. Fighter
So Mike tyson did at one POINT i think it
(09:18):
was one hundred and twenty million, people but usually around
sixty five million we're. Watching those Are Super bowl. Numbers,
yes With Mike tyson because Of Mike. Tyson folks who
Love Jake paul will love it because he gets to
beat at the old. Guy folks who Hate Jake paul
will watch it because hopefully the old, Guy Mike tyson
goes super say on and brings back the twenty five
thirty year old year ago him and knocks him. OUT
(09:41):
i don't think they'll do those types of, numbers BUT
i do think you'll get fight fans who, say, well,
Shoot tank is a real. Fighter he's not, old he's
not you, know washed up and hope that this will
be the. Knockout but what you're gonna, Get, Ephraim you're
gonna get two guys who come into agreement behind closed,
doors wink at each, other wing gonna hurt each. Other
we're gonna throw some, hands but we ain't gonna hurt each.
(10:02):
Other and let's make a. Payday you'll go get your
biggest pay day you've ever, Gotten Tank. Davis i'll make
just another one because it's a routine for me And
Jake paul and this is what we're about to.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Get and it.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Sucks AND i hope That Phantom Rose royce is amazing In,
september that we get reminded of what real boxing, Is,
like what is? Boxing it, Is Bud, Crawford, no what is?
Boxing throwing? Hands what is? Boxing? Fights? Fight fight the sweet? Science? No, yes,
yes say it's. Entertainment don't do. That just listen to
(10:33):
What i'm. Saying don't do, that all, right don't do.
That boxing is, entertainment, Right sports is. Entertainment, football, basketball it's. Entertainment,
okay that's why people. Pay go sit, down get the hot, dog,
popcorn the, nachos all of those.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Level absolutely. Not so here comes a genius marketer who
found a niche, right YouTube, fame hundreds of millions of
views and. Followers how CAN i bring them into this
space over? Here? Right and you.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Start tongue in, cheek start calling people out and have
some exhibition. FIGHTS i believe the first two fights were
between two YouTubers ksi And Jake, paul and they played
that in the movie. THEATER i remember they were playing
that at the movie. Theater and so it became a thing,
like oh, wait there is a market for this because
(11:53):
it is. Entertaining one of the greatest boxers of our
generation showed us how much entertainment boxing, is and That's
Floyd mayweather twenty four to. Seven and then The showtime
series leading up to the. Fight remember the twenty four
to seven with with With floyd And Ricky.
Speaker 3 (12:13):

Close but leading up to the, fight what did it?
Do it made people, say, OH i got to see, that,
(12:38):

Speaker 5 (12:39):
Story it's a. Narrative what is one of the biggest
live sporting events in the. WORLD i mean there's so
many which not w W e no wwe, no, no.
Speaker 4 (12:59):

Saying everyone on the, planet except for your seven or
eight year old turn already off if they're in the,

Bit get your set on what's. Trending BUT i want
to get back to What, YEAH i from AND i
are talking, about and that is the big fight between
J paul And Javonte Tank Davis november fourteenth In. Atlanta
we essentially you were saying it's, entertainment and this is
(15:52):
where we are a couple of things to dad to
your to your what you were, saying or at least
to push back on a couple of things you say,
entertaining AND i say that theatrics or the idea of
it could be, entertaining but most of the, fights ninety
percent of them have not been. Entertaining Mike, tyson the
most entertaining thing was. Him everybody didn't know he wore
thongs before. Fights that was the biggest. Thing alex No
(16:18):
More tyson's big. Booty it was a trap manee.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Big booty that.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
No More booty. Shot that was the most entertaining thing of.
It or people, saying, HM i never knew That Mike
tyson bites his gloves before because he had to do
something to control himself from Knocking Jake paul Out. Hey
he had to bite himself to remind himself because he's
got forty fifty years of muscle memory of when you
throw that weak, Jab i'm an duck in and do.
This and now you Got javonte with the proper Name Tank,
(16:50):
davis because he's about to tank and really put his
real integrity and all that boxing on hold and fight
And vegas has the odds at one a minus one
eighty four, tank so people think he's actually gonna win
because it's gonna be a. Draw they're gonna have three
moments where it looks like they threw some real.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
HANDS i, mean and they never're gonna walk. Away what's?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Lose looking like there's no If tank, wins there's no
downside For Jake.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Paul, Oh Jake paul wins no matter.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
What we all know that Because i'm in your TECHNICAL i,
mean he hasn't won every fight he's been. In so
What i'm saying, is once he has a loss and
understands that business is.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Business why Didn't floyd understand? That what do you?
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Mean why was he so determined to have the fifteen
to oh that he manufactured the last you, know handful
of Fi i'm gonna fight this person this time po
when not of his last real, fight? Right and they
were pocky, old and both of, THEM i mean both
of them were. Older we didn't get it when we wanted.
It we barely getting this one In, september by the
way we. BEEN i, mean if fifteen years AGO i
(17:58):
told you about this, fight you would have put THE
ae LIKE i, said what's the absolute?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Maximum where you'd be, like all, right this is it
for the For.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Canelo and but because what munch or what model Has
canelo been following The floyd AND i get, it control
your own, destiny fight when you, want fight once twice
a year and all of, that and and and kind
of you, know get it there.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
And say, yeah but once you become a, champion you
don't fight more than twice a. Year like that's just
out the window like, that that does you no, Favorite.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
I'm, saying getting the fights from that we always want,
it we haven't gotten them.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Regularly what do you? Want what fight do you? Want?
Now is this one that we're about to?
Speaker 8 (18:32):
Get?
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Okay but then after that? One which one do you?
Want it's about to be a? Trilogy oh, Okay so
you are the same to to just run it? Back
WHAT i, mean where else would you like?
Speaker 3 (18:42):
To if you got the?
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Heavyweights and HEAVYWEIGHTS i can't even. Think we don't even
KNOW i don't even know the heavyweights out.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Here and Like i'm, saying there is a void in
entertainment and eyeballs in boxing That Jake paul and his
brother have figured out a way to step into to
give people entertaining.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Things, well is it gonna be?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
ENTERTAINING i believe because they thought of it being, entertaining
and then all these fights end up not being.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Entertaining now.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
This is technically an, exhibition this will not be an
actual of. Course so this is WHY i Think tank
has no problem tanking and taking it. Lightly If tank
went in there for, real like, debt, serious like. Blackout
i'm a. Boxer you thow THAT i know my the
CounterPunch LIKE i just BECAUSE i just want to do
he absolutely would Beat. Jake this Isn't tyson at fifty
(19:33):
seven or fifty eight what he.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Was it's a young man in. This this is a
thirty year old who ALL i know is. Boxing my
neck is won.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
It what were they saying To, Jake paul will fight
a real, boxer fight a boxer in his. Prime it
was supposed To you gotta remember it was supposed to Be.
Canelo it was supposed to Be. Canelo that deal was
supposed to be done and they were gonna fight N
Abu dhabi and Then canelo was, like, Nah i'm gonna
go Fight crawford.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Because Thank, God. Canelo first of, all he has all
the money in the. World so, money but guess who's gonna.
Fight guess who's gonna Fight After, Crawford he's absolutely Fighting
Jake paul in four.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Years come, on, man it absolutely it's a it's a
it's a, play it's a they're.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Entertainers they're going to Entertain nothing else matters. Anymore it doesn't.
Matter you gotta understand the state of boxing. Itself.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Now don't sit up here and be a boxing purist and, say,
well boxing was all above board and look at all
of the Shady.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
No come, on we know promoters and like now, Athletes,
oh we got, fights but listen to What i'm telling.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
You where's the money from those? Fights from these?
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Athletes they're now controlling their own that If tank want
to go Fight jake paula, YouTuber he can go over
there and Fight jake paula YouTuber and make one hundred
and fifty million dollars and then go back to doing
whatever he's. Doing that's the. Difference back, then promoters they
handled all. That floyd also showed you beyond. Promoter and

Speaker 4 (23:35):
You it is the yacht couple Kelvin washington for salam
who is in For rob on this Worship? Wednesday and,
uh there's Some i'm glad you're. HERE a couple OF nfl.
CONVERSATIONS i Was ROB g AND i were talking to
be perfect when we get big e here this. One
we got ten quarterbacks qb ones in THE nfl who
are not going to play in the, preseason who haven't
(23:56):
already and who. Will nine one of them Is Michael Pennix.
Junior and some of them makes sense because you're kind of,
like all, right, well this person's been in the league so.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Long they're proven.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Veterans Jared, goff if you take, it should even been
to A Super bowl before and obviously doing great things In.
Detroit so you're you're okay with that some other guys as,
well But Michael Pennicks junior kind of the one that
caught some people's attention because second year didn't play a.
Lot last year played the last few, games and so
people were, saying, well why wouldn't he? Play my theory is,
(24:25):
this and then you tell me If i'm wrong on
This number. ONE i think we've seen more and more
now where preseason coaches are, like, man they're over. It
they've shortened. It the amount of games, already what was
it four to? Three you have so many, vocal very vocal, COACHES, gms.
Everybody obviously players are, LIKE i wish we had really
none but at max two and, so and then we've
(24:45):
already added a. Game so now there's the seventeenth, game
and we know there's been inklings in whisperings and can
we get to? Eighteen SO i think they're just, saying,
man a season is already long. Enough one POSITION i
KNOW i need is a.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Quarterback. Okay Michael Pennick.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Junr also is a guy who has been with them
so for a, year so it's not as if he's
a rookie now and got some starts as. Well SO
i think for, them it's also indictment On kirk yo
cousin not, mine where they're saying we don't want to play.
Him so last week you need we need is for
you get, Injured Michael Penny. Jr and then we gotta
go back to that because we don't even know we're doing.
(25:18):
That we're gonna make a, trade he's gonna stick. AROUND
i don't know what's gonna, Play so the last thing
we need is you getting. Hurt SO i don't have
a big time problem with. It and a lot of
teams aren't even playing their ones or even their twos
even so it's, like who AM i wasting him out
there on when this other team that we're playing is
not even playing their. Guys and then it last. Boy
they have mixed, practices so you're you're getting those kind
of interactions with the ones versus your. Ones if you're
(25:39):
In atlanta going up against you, Know i'm making it
up The saints or, something we're getting that. Interaction so
that's my. Theory is a non, player you tell me
you're right with?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
It is it? Needed is? It is? It or is
you kind of like the way they're doing?
Speaker 4 (25:52):
It?
Speaker 5 (25:53):
WELL i think all teams need to develop a. Rhythm
there's a Reason Patrick mahone's plays in the. Preseason there's
a Reason Josh allen plays in the. Preseason, right there
are reasons that certain quarterbacks want to play in the.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Preseason we Saw Joe.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
BURROW i was just going to, say there's a reason
Why Joe burrow is now playing in the preseason because
they can't afford with the level of defense that they
have or lack of, defense that they have to start. Slow,
historically Since Joe burrow's been in the, league they've started.
(26:29):
Slow they can't afford to do that this.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Year so you got to get what our assimilated game
reps AND i get the practices and all of, that
but you still can't go near quarterbacks and combine practices
you practice with a. Team quarterbacks off, limits. Period and
so the only way to really get in in a
(26:54):
rhythm and be ready For week one is to take
those reps and then we get it could be a. Series,
now the thing about, preseason it's all, scripted so you
can keep a quarterback out of harm's. Way, normally you
don't have a, core a starting quarterback out there with backup.
(27:14):
Linemen so those guys are out, there the starting old
line is out, there and you want to get a little,
continuity especially if you have some new, pieces new, coach
new offensive coordinator and. Such For Michael, PENNIX i think
it's a disservice for them not to play him based
on his, tiny small sample size that we had last.
(27:36):
YEAR i think he needs all the reps he can
he can take going into this season and game type.
Situations BUT i also understand them being cautious because he's,
had you, know severe injuries in, college and the last
thing they, want after you, know Disenfranchising, kirkut is to
(28:01):
Have Michael pennix have something freaky happen in preseason and
not at least get them to Opening. DAY i get,
IT i understand. It but for him and the, team
especially in that, DIVISION i think if he's playing one,
series two, SERIES i think it's beneficial for him going
(28:23):
into this upcoming season because it is a winnable division
without a.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
DOUBT i, mean they have to view, that and they
got some offensive weapons on that sage H John robinson.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Who robinson, LIKE i would send those guys out with,
him have one series if it's three. Plays it's three,
plays but you want to manufacture and draw up plays
that can get you an extended, drive just so you
can knock some of that rust off because in two,
(28:53):
weeks you, know quarterbacks are.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Live so.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
If you're used to, indeed the rush stopping four yards
away from you and no one getting around, you they're
trying to take you to lay you out right. Like
that's that's WHY i think it's. Important now the older
quarterbacks who've been sacked and have gone through this and
have won in the playoffs at a high, LEVEL i get.
IT i understand that they can snap right into. It
(29:21):
with these young, quarterbacks they need all these. Reps, Yeah
i'm looking at, again just some of the folks on that.
List Jalen, Hurd Jared, Goff Joe, flacco who IS i
think sixty two sixty two.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Years old right, Now Josh, Allen Aaron, Rodgers Baker, Mayfield Matthew, Stafford.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Dackboy joe's gonna play in this last preseason Game Joe.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Flacco, yeah oh well he was on this.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
List, yeah he's playing this weekend in their last preseason,
game which in that ASPECT i don't agree, with because
do you do.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
You think they even know what they're doing In. Cleveland, no, no, no.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
No but if they're trying to make a decision on
who's going to be the backup, quarterback they need every
they need every, play every rep in this last preseason.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Game they need both of those.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Guys to play two quarters a piece to really see
who stands out and solidifies themselves moving. Forward as the practice,
team the practice squad quarterback are the backup active roster,
quarterback that would Be Joe flacco competing for. That for,
me no, no, no, no, NO i did. It they're not
(30:24):
gonna walk these kids into a bus. Saw they gonna
Let joe go out. There and If joe, struggles you
know's not gonna. Struggle joe's gonna go. One and you
Remember Joe. Indianapolis, yes, Yes but What i'm saying is
he's a. Pro so he's gonna. Have he's gonna go
to the, Ball he's gonna have like, you you know
exactly what you're getting From Joe, flacko which Is rob
(30:45):
AND i have had this conversation for quite some.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Time i'm just not interested in the.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Recyclable you, KNOW i want to and both of the
young guys from what we've, seen have look. Good, obviously
it's it's preseason and it's it's, practice But i'm just.
INTERESTED i it's getting this thing. Started we've had forty
quarterbacks since like nineteen ninety. Nine that's crazy forty. Quarterbacks
can we finally find one that can hold us down
(31:10):
for seven eight?
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Years, well that's WHY i think this last preseason game
should have been split Between Dylan gabriel And Shadua sanders
to really see exactly how this is probably GONNA transi
transition into the regular. Season, now they both had their. Moments,
yeah they did some things, good did some things not so.
GOOD i think getting them more experience in this last
(31:34):
preseason game with bold and benefit. Them Joe flacco is
gonna Beat Joe.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Flacco and that's Why i'm, saying why are you even
why to your, point, like why even waste the? Time
you know exactly what's gonna Be and maybe it's to
your point of the getting the reps and you, know
get just getting some live. Action but he's. Forty we
know exactly who he. Is he was in the building
a couple of years, back won a playoff. Game y'all,
said thank you for, That go, ahead get.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Up out of.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Here we.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Wait he took them to the playoffs and that's why
you know he got another.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Opportunity and In New england they just haven't been able to.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Do, dude you got a quarterback. Position The, lions they
got their quarterback position right. Twice so what you don't
want to do is you don't want to send should
do or Or Dylan gabriel out to play The, Bengals,
right why? Not you don't be the best team a?
Shootout and you you don't want them to go To
(32:31):
baltimore a second? Week we don't want, that right do
you want them to play against The packers and then The?
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Lions and?
Speaker 5 (32:38):
Right SO i a landing spot THAT i would, say,
okay maybe would be what is That week five at
The vikings at?
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Home that.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Defense but What i'm saying is you don't put them in.
There sometimes you don't want the bus. Sto you want the.
Landing you want the landing pad to be as soft as.
Possible you heard it First. Bros five and twelve season
on deck? There, yeah all, right play of the day
on the. Way and speaking of the quarterback, position there's
one in The new. Town folks are saying it ain't
(33:10):
going that, great but his coach, said hold, on it
ain't what you.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Think we'll tell. You we're talking about. It Ephram in For.

(34:39):
Rob jim to bring you in on this. One we
got The New York, jets, who thankfully we did this
story today When Kerrie roase is out because he didn'trobably
want to hear, this how bad it is he was in,
yesterday he wouldn't want to hear. This he From Justin,
fields the quarterback, there got a nice little pay day
and he wanted.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
More but he'll he'll take what he got from. Them
he's going to be their.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
Starter And Aaron glynn had some things say about everybody's
been critical of him thus far during the preseason and.
Speaker 8 (35:03):
Offseason, yeah he did. It we thought that was gonna
be the story and that's where we're gonna play off.
Of and then as we're talking during the last, break
saw this report ON espn that The jets offensive players
and head Coach Aaron glenn and nobody else had a
secret practice On sunday to try to get things right
with the. Offense and the reason why we're barely finding
(35:25):
out about this is Because Garrett wilson did an interview
with a social media influencer On tuesday and he mentioned
to that. Person yet we packed about an hour just
the players And Aaron. Glenn reporters find out about. It
they asked The jets players today they confirmed. It SO
i don't know if this is good or, bad But
jets player only practice With Aaron.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
Glenn first of, all even BEFORE i told this to,
you can you just?
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Not can you just keep?
Speaker 4 (35:51):
Something if we all looked each other in THE i
and was, Like, yo we're gonna keep the. Secret there's
no such thing as a. Secret you know. That but
it's social media. Influencer you literally told. Him my you
you can't like you didn't tell your wife who told
her homegirl in this?
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Line YOU i get.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
That you you you told a social media.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Influencer you can't go anywhere.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
On earth sometimes not even your own home if you
Got alexa or anybody else in there and and be.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Secretive so let alone be.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
A nfl franchise and go and TAKE i DON'T i
guess what forty people and go have a private closed
door practice. Outside have you ever heard of? That by the, Way, no, no,
no no offensive? Practice that is that is uh calls
(36:42):
for great alarm when things like that are. Happening, look
this is this is this is new territory for The
jets in terms of really having a coach that of
people believe. In he was part of being able to
(37:05):
restructure and reshape The Detroit Detroit lions and that, culture
Which i've been there for a year and it was
just a. Mess and so there's a lot of pressure
on Coach glenn to do this thing.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
Right and obviously if you're having secret practices with just the,
offense then those are warning flags for, me those are
red flags something's not. Good you can't get enough work
doing the regular work, day mind, you training gap two,
days so you have to have an extra one which
(37:44):
would normally be on the player's day. Off at this
point in, camp and so for, me it just it's
a real big cause for. Concern WHILE i had been
very vocal THAT i Thought Justin, fields they should have
stuck With Justin fields The, steelers just because the way
their team was operating. IT i liked the way he
was playing with, them AND i thought they could have
even leaned more into his legs and his skill set
(38:06):
running the. BALL i thought they could have went heavy
on that a little bit more than they weren't even
really using him in that regard four and, two ten
touchdowns only one. Turnover i'm, like let's roll this thing
out till it is. Broken that sample size. Enough at
least it got him a. Payday it, did because now
when you look at this in the, preseason thus far
three point nine yards per, ten which is eighty fifth
(38:28):
out of eighty seven, quarterbacks has attempted just one pass
over ten plus yards, downfield which is eighty fifth out
of eighty. Seven he's completed just forty four percent of his,
attempts Making Anthony richardson look Like Peyton, manny and has
scrambled on twenty five percent of his, dropback which is
the most in THE, nfl first out of eighty seven,
BIS i don't mind that portion of.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
It so all bad In New. York The jets are,
jetting but what's.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
New there's a four Time Super bowl champion coach could
have joined us next.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Hour you don't want to miss That steia couple
