Speaker 1 (00:28):
Greetings, Welcome inside final hour of the show tonight, The
Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. We're
live the tirack dot com studios tyrack dot com. I'll
help you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Tyrack dot com the way tire buying should be. So
(00:49):
we get to Deon Sanders coming up in a couple
of seconds, and we got Jay Glazer coming up in
about twenty minutes for everything on TNF between the Eagles
and the Vikings, but just really quick. We talked a
lot about Dean Swift and the night he had one
hundred and seventy yards Vikings lose. Kirk Cousins has an
incredible game. So does Jefferson, Sodaes Hawkins and sodas Addison.
(01:11):
Alexander Madison runs the ball eight times. Ty Chandler had
one rushing attempt. Yeah, that was it for Minnesota in
the game. Nine rushing attempts in the game. That's all
they add. We don't need that. We got Captain Kirk.
They ran the ball nine nine times. Nine times in
that game.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Well, I think they wanted to just throw it to
Justin Jefferson so he could break that Bears mark to
make sure Jefferson's make sure, let's get him over the
top here.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I mean nine times in tonight's game. And then you
go back to last week when they lost to Tampa Bay,
they ran the ball seventeen times. I think they might
miss Dalvin Cook a little bit and maybe just a
little bit here, because it's not like Madison's had a
lot of chances. But when he's had chance, he hasn't
gone crazy with them. But you see this team today,
(02:03):
we're throwing the football. Great Cousins was three forty four
and two touchdowns in the first week and they're zero
and two and yeah, okay, we're fine. We think we
can get by with Alexander Madison. We can get by
with him at running back. We don't need Dalvin Cook,
we don't need this. And it turns out, Wow, they
would do anything they could to get him back right now,
anything they could to get anybody that made on the football.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I don't know how great he is at this point.
That remains to be seen. We'll watch as things unfold
for the Jets.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
And well, you're also talking about him in a familiar
offense where he succeeded before.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
It's yeah, but also you know there's a reason beyond
just money that at some point you decide, hey, we
as a running back, we're moving on right And with
Madison my concern and I liked him as a back.
It's kind of like the Tony Pollard thing for a
couple of years you and I on the show, really elevating.
I think both of these guys has strong number twos.
Pollard remains to be seen, had a great week one.
(02:54):
We'll see what happens going forward. I think in Dallas
they're still going to need another running back. In Minnesota.
Before the year, as we talked about squads, I wasn't
convinced he would be an a list number one for them.
I think he's a better as a complimentary player, and
here they just abandoned it all together. Now, darrisaw was out.
(03:16):
Obviously some shaky offensive line play early, which is the
theme of week one into week two and of this
you know NFL season. But yeah, that's got to get
short up really fast. Otherwise completely one dimensional makes for
great numbers, makes for a lot of losses.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, you can't win. I'm telling you. It's gonna push
Kirk Cousins of the Jets. That's why I'm rooting against
the Vikings for the next six seven weeks. Is in
case Zach Wilson's not good and they're in the playoffs,
you should they can trade for Kirk Cousins. If the
Vikings are one and six.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
It's time to bet him. Jets parlay that because then
you win because Kirk will show up. Yeah, and now
you've got a fund, a slush fund towards potential playoff ticket,
and you.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Know your boss is a Vikings fan. I am, But
if I can't help that, if they're one, not my fault.
Isn't that much closer to Caleb Williams. It's fine, you're
owing town. They're going to battle the Bears for that.
You're to it's over. You ain't catching the Bears. Hey, listen, listen.
I don't want to be a you know, a Debbie Downer,
but you're ow into it's over. The Bears are going
to get buried by Baker Mayfield this week. It's already
(04:22):
got their place. Uh. We will have more on this
game coming up in a bit with Jay Glazer, the
Jason Smiths or with Mike Carmon live from the Tirech
dot Com studios. But another day, another slew of amazing
headlines involving Dion Sanders. This does not come straight from Dion.
(04:42):
This comes to Dion courtesy of their opponents this coming week. Now,
Colorado's won the first two games, and look when it happened.
We told you. Look, Dion's taking over college football. He
has become the national story. It's exactly what college football needs,
a national team that everybody has interesting. Whether you want
to see them win, you love it, or you hate
(05:03):
them and want to see them lose. Right, they have
the interest level that we have never seen from anybody
out you know the last few years, because Alabama's kind
of gotten boring. They're not winning every year. We watched
Alabama do their thing for a good decade, and now
it's okay, we're we're sort of ready for something else.
Into the void steps Colorado and Dion Sanders, which is
exactly what college football needed this week. Kind of a
(05:25):
gimme game they have coming up, the in state rivalry
Colorado State. Right, they're twenty four point favorites in this game.
The last thing you would do, I think if you're
Colorado State, is you would want to poke the bear
and really make Deon Sanders and Colorado upset. However, Colorado
State head coach j Norvel decided screw it. I don't care.
I hate Dion and he does a radio interview today,
(05:48):
live radio show talking about how what he does, he
feels is a better way to treat adults than what
Dion does.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I sat out with ESPN today and I don't care
if they hear it.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I told him I took my hat off, and I
took my glasses off, and I said, when I talked
to growing ups, I take my hat and my glasses off.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
That's what my mother talked. My mother to me.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Now he's a guy from Madison, Wisconsin, and he did
play for a year with the Bears. Yeah, in nineteen
eighty seven.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah. Now Deon Sanders of course gets wind of this, No,
here's about it very quickly. I wouldn't be surprised if
he got texted it like eight seconds after it happens.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Is that what Deon Sanders junior job is to get
paid to just dad chatty when Dad look at this, Dad,
look at this?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Dad. So here's Dion this audio from Deon Sanders after
he hears of Jay Norvell's comments. And Dion is wearing
a hat and sunglasses while he is telling this to
his team on the field with cameras right there. Of course,
because it's Colorado and it's Dion. Here's Deon Sanders, come
out of my own.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Business, watching some film, trying to get ready, trying to
get out of here and be the best coach jack
of b And I look up and I reasonable junking.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Dan said about him once again, why would you want
to talk about us?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
We don't talk about no bad.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
All we do is go out here, workout bus open
do I jabot say.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
But when they give.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Us ammunition, it was just gonna be a good game
and they don't mess run and made it. It was
gonna be a great test, a Battle of Colorado, but
they all mess run and made it, made it personal.
At some point, I think Dion's got to turn to
his kid and go, hey, I'm talking. Okay, I'm talking
all right, and till your score, I'm talking. I'm talking here.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
You don't score till you score.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
In a vacuum. I love Jay Norvell's point.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Because as a youth call like I don't have a
lot of rules because each year, each group of girls
that I've coached, you have to reach them all differently individually,
and and certain methods that work with one team might
not work with another team. You got to find your way.
But the one hard and fast rule I've had since
since I watched Zoe playing as as as a young
as a young player and going forward is I never
(08:09):
wore sunglasses on the field I practice or a game.
I want the girls to see my face and see
my eyes and see that I care about what I'm
saying to them, and I want to reach them, and
I want them to know, hey, pay attention. I'm not
some guy you're going, hey, so if you wanted to
and they look and go, is this guy even looking
at me? And what was going on in the now?
(08:32):
Hats are fine. I mean, I know you. Hats are fine.
You wear you wear hats wear. Everybody wears hats. But
the sunglasses thing, it was always a big deal to
me because I hated seeing coaches wearing sunglasses. I'm like,
you just want to look cool. You just want to
look cool, and when when young people you're trying to
inspire them and connect with them, it's not the right
way to do it. Now, take it out of this.
The sunglasses thing. That's Dion's thing, that's his persona, that
(08:56):
makes him who he is. He's coach Prime. He's not
shut away from it going no, no, I'm not really this, No,
he's coach Bryant. He wants all the attention. Again, Cameras
at practice catching him talking to the team just so
happened to getting him talking about what Jane Norvel said
about it. Dion does things a different way and it works.
(09:17):
What I don't get if you're Jay Norvel, I don't
understand why you would decide to give him the motivation
that he desires all the time. Because what if I
tell you the one thing about Deon Sanders is that
my one concern is you can't play the super Bowl
every week and every week can't be this deeply personal,
incredibly raw, naked emotion filled game. Your team's gonna run
(09:40):
out of guess, but you can't do it, and a
loss takes you so low. The loss is just just
pilering into one another. You can't do it. Nobody does that.
That's why nobody's done that in the NFL. No one's
ever done it in college football. Right, there's certain things
oh to no, but that's a never can't. You can't
be that high every single week. Some weeks have to
be business trips. This needed to be a business trip
and now it's personal. So now here it is again
(10:02):
and it's gonna be another exhausting week. But I don't
know why you would do that, because certain coaches do
things great that are great coaches. What Dion does great
is what he motivates his team. One of the things
he does great, he motivates his team. He also recruits
great he hires great. He does great things.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
He's not the play caller that you would think guys are,
But there's things he does great, hiring people, motivating players,
and recruiting players. And all you've done is hand him
this week's motivation when it's week three and you can
still get by on the motivation and say, hey, let's
make it personal. Why would you do that? Why would you?
If you're Matt Rule, why would you do when you
(10:40):
know the guy lives on that? Why would you do that?
Why not make it a little bit tougher for him
and take away one of the things he does well,
which is motivate his team. I don't know why you
would do that. That was just dumb. That's I mean,
I don't get it. I don't get it. Eventually, some
of Deon's coaching we're gonna find out more, we get
more of a sample size of Deon's coaching. Trades're gonna
fine out. Ay this really works this not as much
(11:02):
as he says. I'm trying to be the best head
coach I can be learning. Maybe I'm maybe watching film
is a new thing. I'm getting in more in depth
in watching film, trying to be this coach up whatever
it is. But right now you know what works, and
he knows what works. Why would you feed that them
and say, here, take this on a platter. You're a
twenty four point favorite over us. And now I just
don't like you so much that I'm going to say
(11:23):
that I don't like what you do into college football.
I don't like what this is. I don't like that
you showed up finally and in one year turned a
one and eleven team into a dominating team. When I'm
here at Colorado State and I can't win games, you
show up and do this. I get. I understand all
the frustration, but I don't know why you would give
him that motivation. I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
But that's just the question, right did it just bubble
over to or you've been answering questions and having to
be in local media if you're paying attention to at all,
it's been nothing but Deon Sanders. Now, should you be
getting a lot of run for your school?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Probably, probably not. But with everything going on in the
national media, and I think you look, if you're a
coach at any school, you might be at the point where, Wow,
I'm kind of tired of watching all the networks, all
our partners and everything follow all over themselves, although you
should be able to look in the mirror and recognize
(12:12):
how much good it's doing for the game as a whole. Right,
we joked about it before, with all of the laundry
lists of shows and setups they've got going on to campus.
It's like separating a mask and a map and playing risk.
All right, this is our quarter. You go over here
and any of your people with your signs drift into
(12:33):
our territory, you know, like you're gonna go dig motes
to protect your part of the field. No, No, that's
ours beyond that shrubbery. But for Norvelle, I mean, I
don't know, other than the frustration, or you just wanted
to be part of the narrative so people would say
your name for twenty four hours, because what else is there?
(12:54):
You're a twenty four point underdog. This is gonna rally
your guys. No, and all you did was feed the
media machine. We all knew you were playing Dion Sanders
this week. Again, it's a veritable convoy to try to
get in. It's like tailgating at the Eagles game or
at a Cleveland Browns home game. Or go on down
(13:17):
the line. People are waiting for hours just to get
over there. But now you've got this that you've set up,
and eventually, look, they'll step up in competition. Nice nice
game one win against ECU, and we'll see as you
get into the PAC twelve schedule what you are on
a weekend, week out basis. But for now, you just
(13:38):
fed the beast. So congratulations he gave him. You know,
you got to say buld junk again. If he hasn't
trademarked that already, his people have failed him.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My best

save at Progressive dot Com. Well, our first play of
(14:20):
the night is the biggest play of the game between
the Vikings and the Eagles. It did not result in
a touchdown, did not result in the game winning field goal,
but still it was the play of the game.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Cousins hanging in, Cousins deep and that's hold in and
the ball comes out, but he is out of bounds
at the as they have.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
To review the fumble wind over the pilong, which by.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
All right, Terry, interesting point here. You have to have
possession of the ball as it crosses the goal line
in this situation for it.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
To be a touchdown. Certainly you clearly lose control before
he gets to the goal line. Here it is Amazon Prime.
Al Michael's on the call. I will never get over
live from the Vet al Michaels. I will never get
over how people and wide receivers want to be Pilon
heroes when they don't have to. It's the dumbest play
(15:18):
you can possibly pull.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Just go down like you're already being pulled down, and
you're gonna try to now ship the ball and make
this play as you're being spun in the ground.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Knows it cost them the game. It's a ten to
seven game and Jefferson catches a thirty yard pass. Go down,
You're down at the at the one yard line. You're
inside the one yard line, you have thirty seconds left
and the half you have four plays again in if
you want to.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Worse, it's a field chip shot.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
If you're going up.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Fourteen to ten, right, you're going up fourteen ten instead,
because I want to be a pilon hero, I want
to reach for the pylon, you fumble it. The Eagles
get downfield and Jake Kelly kicks a sixty one yard
field goal. So instead of a fourteen to ten lead,
down thirteen to seven. That was the biggest play in
the game. And I won't get over at receivers who
still want to do that and don't give me. Oh,
(16:06):
you're ask receivers to go against instinct. No, the coach
to say, don't do it. Don't do it. You're coming
out of the game or something. Don't do it. You're
costing the team. No play costs your team more. I
get it. If it's a winner go home type play,
it's fourth down. We got to get in the ends
and or the game is over, or we lose possession
of the ball, whatever it is. But it wasn't. It
wasn't a winner go home play and still justin. Jefferson
(16:27):
tried as great as he is, he tried to do
it and look what happened.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Well, I think he was also saying, Alexander Madison can't
fall forward so many bet we don't want the ball
at that. I'm a kiddy.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
You gonna throw me a fade? You throw me four
fades in a row. If I go down at the one.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Nah, and then he can come back and throw it
to Hockinson. So he'd be mad. But in the end
you had that swing in and Elliott went full super
tow the sixty one yard and you want to talk
about deflation on the Minnesota sideline. Not only did you
give that up and then you come out in the
second half he had a couple of drops on play
wide open. He did have, you know, some big plays.
(17:02):
And on the other side, AJ Brown had a touchdown
call back. So the receivers in general not coming away
really happy. The numbers look great. You guys mocked me
with the Bears history. Bears y four hours one hundred
years of history. There was more like one hour that
we did. That was well, No, I got bludgeoned for
a full hour, but then it was peppered in I
mean Di Seger led an up day with it. Hey, Steve,
(17:25):
what was the score of the game? Just tell me
the dame they'd lost.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Justin Jefferson has more yards receiving in three years and
two games at the age of twenty four than anybody
in the history of the Chicago Bears franchise and the Bears.
I'm playing football for over one hundred years, but it
got twenty four. He's got more receiving yards than the
leading Bear receiver.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
And it's but it allowed me to tell you about
the greatness of Johnny Morris.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
We did get Johnny Morrison was.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
A staple on CBS in Chicago, and I grew up
with his sportscasts and his interviews.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
So there Now the other play of the night comes
to us Kurt of a fan who made some headlines
in Philadelphia and on the internet today because he got
to the game at the VET at four point thirty
in the morning.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Four thirty in the morning.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
He got there to be ready to tailgate, to get
ready for the game tonight. So local news is there
doing a story on him. Dude, you're here four to
thirty in the morning. It's come on, man, it's four thirty.
But not only was he there, he had ideas, he
had picks, he had prognostications. And it turns out maybe
he is from the future because he was asked his
predictions for tonight's game at four thirty AM, and he said,
(18:35):
DeAndre Swift, I think he's really going to stop up
for the birds and six point win.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Calling it my prediction.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
He almost sounds like he says, bursts, bird's switch the
step up for the birds. It's just it's it's my accent,
It's it's how they talk in Philadelphia. I had to
go to birge birds. Are there chicks point with? What
did they win? Thirty four to twenty eight? DeAndre Swift
one hundred and seventy yards. He was right about everything.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
He was a win of birds go birds, Go birds, Birds. Oh,
I was right. I picked that at four thirty. I
need to go to the game.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
But if you were to become and you were a
being from another planet, another galaxy, is that not the
body you would inhabit. I want to fit in in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I don't want people to know them from another planet
and I'm an I'm an alien. You gotta adopt the accent.
If you could deal in Philadelphia. You can't move Philadelphia.
We'll talk like that. Okay, great, What else I gotta do?
You gotta eat a lot of hogies and say you
know how to say wuah wah oh, I say wah
wah wah wah wah wah wahwah. Right, God, Okay, great,
it's Philadelphia. It's Philadelphia. They don't use the age that
(19:39):
guys like a legend. Now though he's gonna be on
T shirts. They might have him as the expert celebrity
game picker from now on, and Birds would just be
b r r r ds burr, not a burr in
your heel burr exit out about a Fresca exit. Swallen

help you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,

Tyrack dot com the way tire buying should be. So
(00:49):
we get to Deon Sanders coming up in a couple
of seconds, and we got Jay Glazer coming up in
about twenty minutes for everything on TNF between the Eagles
and the Vikings, but just really quick. We talked a
lot about Dean Swift and the night he had one
hundred and seventy yards Vikings lose. Kirk Cousins has an
incredible game. So does Jefferson, Sodaes Hawkins and sodas Addison.
(01:11):
Alexander Madison runs the ball eight times. Ty Chandler had
one rushing attempt. Yeah, that was it for Minnesota in
the game. Nine rushing attempts in the game. That's all
they add. We don't need that. We got Captain Kirk.
They ran the ball nine nine times. Nine times in
that game.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Well, I think they wanted to just throw it to
Justin Jefferson so he could break that Bears mark to
make sure Jefferson's make sure, let's get him over the
top here.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I mean nine times in tonight's game. And then you
go back to last week when they lost to Tampa Bay,
they ran the ball seventeen times. I think they might
miss Dalvin Cook a little bit and maybe just a
little bit here, because it's not like Madison's had a
lot of chances. But when he's had chance, he hasn't
gone crazy with them. But you see this team today,
(02:03):
we're throwing the football. Great Cousins was three forty four
and two touchdowns in the first week and they're zero
and two and yeah, okay, we're fine. We think we
can get by with Alexander Madison. We can get by
with him at running back. We don't need Dalvin Cook,
we don't need this. And it turns out, Wow, they
would do anything they could to get him back right now,
anything they could to get anybody that made on the football.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I don't know how great he is at this point.
That remains to be seen. We'll watch as things unfold
for the Jets.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
And well, you're also talking about him in a familiar
offense where he succeeded before.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
It's yeah, but also you know there's a reason beyond
just money that at some point you decide, hey, we
as a running back, we're moving on right And with
Madison my concern and I liked him as a back.
It's kind of like the Tony Pollard thing for a
couple of years you and I on the show, really elevating.
I think both of these guys has strong number twos.
Pollard remains to be seen, had a great week one.
(02:54):
We'll see what happens going forward. I think in Dallas
they're still going to need another running back. In Minnesota.
Before the year, as we talked about squads, I wasn't
convinced he would be an a list number one for them.
I think he's a better as a complimentary player, and
here they just abandoned it all together. Now, darrisaw was out.
(03:16):
Obviously some shaky offensive line play early, which is the
theme of week one into week two and of this
you know NFL season. But yeah, that's got to get
short up really fast. Otherwise completely one dimensional makes for
great numbers, makes for a lot of losses.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, you can't win. I'm telling you. It's gonna push
Kirk Cousins of the Jets. That's why I'm rooting against
the Vikings for the next six seven weeks. Is in
case Zach Wilson's not good and they're in the playoffs,
you should they can trade for Kirk Cousins. If the
Vikings are one and six.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
It's time to bet him. Jets parlay that because then
you win because Kirk will show up. Yeah, and now
you've got a fund, a slush fund towards potential playoff ticket,
and you.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Know your boss is a Vikings fan. I am, But
if I can't help that, if they're one, not my fault.
Isn't that much closer to Caleb Williams. It's fine, you're
owing town. They're going to battle the Bears for that.
You're to it's over. You ain't catching the Bears. Hey, listen, listen.
I don't want to be a you know, a Debbie Downer,
but you're ow into it's over. The Bears are going
to get buried by Baker Mayfield this week. It's already
(04:22):
got their place. Uh. We will have more on this
game coming up in a bit with Jay Glazer, the
Jason Smiths or with Mike Carmon live from the Tirech
dot Com studios. But another day, another slew of amazing
headlines involving Dion Sanders. This does not come straight from Dion.
(04:42):
This comes to Dion courtesy of their opponents this coming week. Now,
Colorado's won the first two games, and look when it happened.
We told you. Look, Dion's taking over college football. He
has become the national story. It's exactly what college football needs,
a national team that everybody has interesting. Whether you want
to see them win, you love it, or you hate
(05:03):
them and want to see them lose. Right, they have
the interest level that we have never seen from anybody
out you know the last few years, because Alabama's kind
of gotten boring. They're not winning every year. We watched
Alabama do their thing for a good decade, and now
it's okay, we're we're sort of ready for something else.
Into the void steps Colorado and Dion Sanders, which is
exactly what college football needed this week. Kind of a
(05:25):
gimme game they have coming up, the in state rivalry
Colorado State. Right, they're twenty four point favorites in this game.
The last thing you would do, I think if you're
Colorado State, is you would want to poke the bear
and really make Deon Sanders and Colorado upset. However, Colorado
State head coach j Norvel decided screw it. I don't care.
I hate Dion and he does a radio interview today,
(05:48):
live radio show talking about how what he does, he
feels is a better way to treat adults than what
Dion does.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I sat out with ESPN today and I don't care
if they hear it.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I told him I took my hat off, and I
took my glasses off, and I said, when I talked
to growing ups, I take my hat and my glasses off.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
That's what my mother talked. My mother to me.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Now he's a guy from Madison, Wisconsin, and he did
play for a year with the Bears. Yeah, in nineteen
eighty seven.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah. Now Deon Sanders of course gets wind of this, No,
here's about it very quickly. I wouldn't be surprised if
he got texted it like eight seconds after it happens.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Is that what Deon Sanders junior job is to get
paid to just dad chatty when Dad look at this, Dad,
look at this?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Dad. So here's Dion this audio from Deon Sanders after
he hears of Jay Norvell's comments. And Dion is wearing
a hat and sunglasses while he is telling this to
his team on the field with cameras right there. Of course,
because it's Colorado and it's Dion. Here's Deon Sanders, come
out of my own.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Business, watching some film, trying to get ready, trying to
get out of here and be the best coach jack
of b And I look up and I reasonable junking.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Dan said about him once again, why would you want
to talk about us?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
We don't talk about no bad.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
All we do is go out here, workout bus open
do I jabot say.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
But when they give.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Us ammunition, it was just gonna be a good game
and they don't mess run and made it. It was
gonna be a great test, a Battle of Colorado, but
they all mess run and made it, made it personal.
At some point, I think Dion's got to turn to
his kid and go, hey, I'm talking. Okay, I'm talking
all right, and till your score, I'm talking. I'm talking here.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
You don't score till you score.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
In a vacuum. I love Jay Norvell's point.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Because as a youth call like I don't have a
lot of rules because each year, each group of girls
that I've coached, you have to reach them all differently individually,
and and certain methods that work with one team might
not work with another team. You got to find your way.
But the one hard and fast rule I've had since
since I watched Zoe playing as as as a young
as a young player and going forward is I never
(08:09):
wore sunglasses on the field I practice or a game.
I want the girls to see my face and see
my eyes and see that I care about what I'm
saying to them, and I want to reach them, and
I want them to know, hey, pay attention. I'm not
some guy you're going, hey, so if you wanted to
and they look and go, is this guy even looking
at me? And what was going on in the now?
(08:32):
Hats are fine. I mean, I know you. Hats are fine.
You wear you wear hats wear. Everybody wears hats. But
the sunglasses thing, it was always a big deal to
me because I hated seeing coaches wearing sunglasses. I'm like,
you just want to look cool. You just want to
look cool, and when when young people you're trying to
inspire them and connect with them, it's not the right
way to do it. Now, take it out of this.
The sunglasses thing. That's Dion's thing, that's his persona, that
(08:56):
makes him who he is. He's coach Prime. He's not
shut away from it going no, no, I'm not really this, No,
he's coach Bryant. He wants all the attention. Again, Cameras
at practice catching him talking to the team just so
happened to getting him talking about what Jane Norvel said
about it. Dion does things a different way and it works.
(09:17):
What I don't get if you're Jay Norvel, I don't
understand why you would decide to give him the motivation
that he desires all the time. Because what if I
tell you the one thing about Deon Sanders is that
my one concern is you can't play the super Bowl
every week and every week can't be this deeply personal,
incredibly raw, naked emotion filled game. Your team's gonna run
(09:40):
out of guess, but you can't do it, and a
loss takes you so low. The loss is just just
pilering into one another. You can't do it. Nobody does that.
That's why nobody's done that in the NFL. No one's
ever done it in college football. Right, there's certain things
oh to no, but that's a never can't. You can't
be that high every single week. Some weeks have to
be business trips. This needed to be a business trip
and now it's personal. So now here it is again
(10:02):
and it's gonna be another exhausting week. But I don't
know why you would do that, because certain coaches do
things great that are great coaches. What Dion does great
is what he motivates his team. One of the things
he does great, he motivates his team. He also recruits
great he hires great. He does great things.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
He's not the play caller that you would think guys are,
But there's things he does great, hiring people, motivating players,
and recruiting players. And all you've done is hand him
this week's motivation when it's week three and you can
still get by on the motivation and say, hey, let's
make it personal. Why would you do that? Why would you?
If you're Matt Rule, why would you do when you
(10:40):
know the guy lives on that? Why would you do that?
Why not make it a little bit tougher for him
and take away one of the things he does well,
which is motivate his team. I don't know why you
would do that. That was just dumb. That's I mean,
I don't get it. I don't get it. Eventually, some
of Deon's coaching we're gonna find out more, we get
more of a sample size of Deon's coaching. Trades're gonna
fine out. Ay this really works this not as much
(11:02):
as he says. I'm trying to be the best head
coach I can be learning. Maybe I'm maybe watching film
is a new thing. I'm getting in more in depth
in watching film, trying to be this coach up whatever
it is. But right now you know what works, and
he knows what works. Why would you feed that them
and say, here, take this on a platter. You're a
twenty four point favorite over us. And now I just
don't like you so much that I'm going to say
(11:23):
that I don't like what you do into college football.
I don't like what this is. I don't like that
you showed up finally and in one year turned a
one and eleven team into a dominating team. When I'm
here at Colorado State and I can't win games, you
show up and do this. I get. I understand all
the frustration, but I don't know why you would give
him that motivation. I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
But that's just the question, right did it just bubble
over to or you've been answering questions and having to
be in local media if you're paying attention to at all,
it's been nothing but Deon Sanders. Now, should you be
getting a lot of run for your school?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Probably, probably not. But with everything going on in the
national media, and I think you look, if you're a
coach at any school, you might be at the point where, Wow,
I'm kind of tired of watching all the networks, all
our partners and everything follow all over themselves, although you
should be able to look in the mirror and recognize
(12:12):
how much good it's doing for the game as a whole. Right,
we joked about it before, with all of the laundry
lists of shows and setups they've got going on to campus.
It's like separating a mask and a map and playing risk.
All right, this is our quarter. You go over here
and any of your people with your signs drift into
(12:33):
our territory, you know, like you're gonna go dig motes
to protect your part of the field. No, No, that's
ours beyond that shrubbery. But for Norvelle, I mean, I
don't know, other than the frustration, or you just wanted
to be part of the narrative so people would say
your name for twenty four hours, because what else is there?
(12:54):
You're a twenty four point underdog. This is gonna rally
your guys. No, and all you did was feed the
media machine. We all knew you were playing Dion Sanders
this week. Again, it's a veritable convoy to try to
get in. It's like tailgating at the Eagles game or
at a Cleveland Browns home game. Or go on down
(13:17):
the line. People are waiting for hours just to get
over there. But now you've got this that you've set up,
and eventually, look, they'll step up in competition. Nice nice
game one win against ECU, and we'll see as you
get into the PAC twelve schedule what you are on
a weekend, week out basis. But for now, you just
(13:38):
fed the beast. So congratulations he gave him. You know,
you got to say buld junk again. If he hasn't
trademarked that already, his people have failed him.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven

Speaker 1 (13:58):

(14:20):
the night is the biggest play of the game between
the Vikings and the Eagles. It did not result in
a touchdown, did not result in the game winning field goal,
but still it was the play of the game.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Cousins hanging in, Cousins deep and that's hold in and
the ball comes out, but he is out of bounds
at the as they have.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
To review the fumble wind over the pilong, which by.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
All right, Terry, interesting point here. You have to have
possession of the ball as it crosses the goal line
in this situation for it.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
To be a touchdown. Certainly you clearly lose control before
he gets to the goal line. Here it is Amazon Prime.
Al Michael's on the call. I will never get over
live from the Vet al Michaels. I will never get
over how people and wide receivers want to be Pilon
heroes when they don't have to. It's the dumbest play
(15:18):
you can possibly pull.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Just go down like you're already being pulled down, and
you're gonna try to now ship the ball and make
this play as you're being spun in the ground.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Knows it cost them the game. It's a ten to
seven game and Jefferson catches a thirty yard pass. Go down,
You're down at the at the one yard line. You're
inside the one yard line, you have thirty seconds left
and the half you have four plays again in if
you want to.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Worse, it's a field chip shot.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
If you're going up.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Fourteen to ten, right, you're going up fourteen ten instead,
because I want to be a pilon hero, I want
to reach for the pylon, you fumble it. The Eagles
get downfield and Jake Kelly kicks a sixty one yard
field goal. So instead of a fourteen to ten lead,
down thirteen to seven. That was the biggest play in
the game. And I won't get over at receivers who
still want to do that and don't give me. Oh,
(16:06):
you're ask receivers to go against instinct. No, the coach
to say, don't do it. Don't do it. You're coming
out of the game or something. Don't do it. You're
costing the team. No play costs your team more. I
get it. If it's a winner go home type play,
it's fourth down. We got to get in the ends
and or the game is over, or we lose possession
of the ball, whatever it is. But it wasn't. It
wasn't a winner go home play and still justin. Jefferson
(16:27):
tried as great as he is, he tried to do
it and look what happened.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Well, I think he was also saying, Alexander Madison can't
fall forward so many bet we don't want the ball
at that. I'm a kiddy.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
You gonna throw me a fade? You throw me four
fades in a row. If I go down at the one.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Nah, and then he can come back and throw it
to Hockinson. So he'd be mad. But in the end
you had that swing in and Elliott went full super
tow the sixty one yard and you want to talk
about deflation on the Minnesota sideline. Not only did you
give that up and then you come out in the
second half he had a couple of drops on play
wide open. He did have, you know, some big plays.
(17:02):
And on the other side, AJ Brown had a touchdown
call back. So the receivers in general not coming away
really happy. The numbers look great. You guys mocked me
with the Bears history. Bears y four hours one hundred
years of history. There was more like one hour that
we did. That was well, No, I got bludgeoned for
a full hour, but then it was peppered in I
mean Di Seger led an up day with it. Hey, Steve,
(17:25):
what was the score of the game? Just tell me
the dame they'd lost.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Justin Jefferson has more yards receiving in three years and
two games at the age of twenty four than anybody
in the history of the Chicago Bears franchise and the Bears.
I'm playing football for over one hundred years, but it
got twenty four. He's got more receiving yards than the
leading Bear receiver.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
And it's but it allowed me to tell you about
the greatness of Johnny Morris.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
We did get Johnny Morrison was.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
A staple on CBS in Chicago, and I grew up
with his sportscasts and his interviews.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
So there Now the other play of the night comes
to us Kurt of a fan who made some headlines
in Philadelphia and on the internet today because he got
to the game at the VET at four point thirty
in the morning.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Four thirty in the morning.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
He got there to be ready to tailgate, to get
ready for the game tonight. So local news is there
doing a story on him. Dude, you're here four to
thirty in the morning. It's come on, man, it's four thirty.
But not only was he there, he had ideas, he
had picks, he had prognostications. And it turns out maybe
he is from the future because he was asked his
predictions for tonight's game at four thirty AM, and he said,
(18:35):
DeAndre Swift, I think he's really going to stop up
for the birds and six point win.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Calling it my prediction.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
He almost sounds like he says, bursts, bird's switch the
step up for the birds. It's just it's it's my accent,
It's it's how they talk in Philadelphia. I had to
go to birge birds. Are there chicks point with? What
did they win? Thirty four to twenty eight? DeAndre Swift
one hundred and seventy yards. He was right about everything.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
He was a win of birds go birds, Go birds, Birds. Oh,
I was right. I picked that at four thirty. I
need to go to the game.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
But if you were to become and you were a
being from another planet, another galaxy, is that not the
body you would inhabit. I want to fit in in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I don't want people to know them from another planet
and I'm an I'm an alien. You gotta adopt the accent.
If you could deal in Philadelphia. You can't move Philadelphia.
We'll talk like that. Okay, great, What else I gotta do?
You gotta eat a lot of hogies and say you
know how to say wuah wah oh, I say wah
wah wah wah wah wah wahwah. Right, God, Okay, great,
it's Philadelphia. It's Philadelphia. They don't use the age that
(19:39):
guys like a legend. Now though he's gonna be on
T shirts. They might have him as the expert celebrity
game picker from now on, and Birds would just be
b r r r ds burr, not a burr in
your heel burr exit out about a Fresca exit. Swallen
