So an NFL story that just makes my head hurt,
but I understand. Uh, you're worried about the US men's
national team failing in four years.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Got a lot of stuff on my mind.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I mean, yesterday was a great day for America. Dealing
with a lot of stuff. I'm like Jax Teller and
Sons of Anarchy. I'm juggling a lot of things every day.
But there's a lot of positivity White Socks beat the Yankees.
You got to mock your dad by ten runs. Yeah,
they're gonna kick the Yankees out of baseball, could potentially
be relegated like we're in the in the soccer World.
(01:29):
Premier League comes back the end of the week. Last
players to have been kicked out of Major League Baseball
the nineteen nineteen White Sox, joining such illustrious names as
Eddie Seacott and Juless, Joe Jackson and Buck Weaver, Aaron Judge,
Juan Soto and Aaron Boom. White Sox get their first
win on a Monday this year.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
They're now one in fourteen. Yeah, but are you still sober?
And it's he's Actually it can work on that, Okay, dude.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
In the beginning, drink a lot of coffee, and I
wouldn't be surprised if suddenly, like I feel like you
bring those little airplane bottles in and just like kind
of dipping them right in there, dropping them in. Nah,
those are too expensive, you'd have to buy your own available,
they're too expensive. Well, I mean, look on a parlounce
basis should be better off.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
While we're going.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Economical, I'm talking about a parlounce Basiss just one on
a Monday.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Who cares? You haven't had a white.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Out?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
The window had a.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
White Sox winning a Monday. All season you were going
four tens on Friday. Yeah, we got our first win.
It's also the third anniversary at the last time Tim
Anderson had a big moment in Major League Baseball, the
field of dreams.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Your shorts should be on Jason's head right now.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Whoa Who's getting wild tonight?
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Harman's purple underwear should be over a lampshade and the
rooms should have a glow of purple on today, like
this looks good?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Does it look sexy? How do you know the purple?
There you go?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
You really don't think he has purple underwear? I don't know,
you know, just going on what I'm sure it is.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Today.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Maybe well, yeah, dude, no underwear is overrated.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
No dude.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Okay, first of all, what's the point of it? How
old are you? Twenty four? Okay?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
When when you get to when you get to a
certain age, okay, you're going to realize, oh, chafing is
not fun.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
So you wear all No, but you got creams and
other things that can help you out there. So I
don't Chase. No, you don't have to shave.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
No.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Chafing is not fun. It's from shaving, right, chafing?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
No, no, no, cha cha? What's that from chafing? It
means when when when parts of your body are rubbing
together and its skin doesn't feel good.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Yeabe, he's got him. That's why underwear was invented. No, yes,
no underwear. Never watched Seinfeld?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Why do you think underwear was invented? Have you ever
watched Seinfeld? Yes?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Remember how Crangress has stopped wearing it because it's lowering
his tesoscrp.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Okay, so what I'm saying, you're citing a fictional character,
no real in a television He was a real person.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
He's just true.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Sure, Okay, you're you're citing Kramer a reason why to
not wear underwheel.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I'm just saying. You quote Marvel movies every day. Yeah,
but I don't say, Hey, it's not real.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Hey, I iron Man said, I am iron Man and
save the world.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I don't go walk around, Yeah you do. No, I
don't do that. Yeah, I've heard it. Also, iron Man's
a lame superhero if we're being real.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Oh, hey, listen, Marvel made iron Man, who was like
a B level superhero into one of the biggest stars.
That's a big deal. YEA, like Marvel took some I mean,
I still can't believe Marvel made ant Man into a thing.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I'm like, nobody even cared about ant Man an Man,
how's that gonna say? Everybody loves Paul Rudd exactly. But Okay,
it was funny and they made it. I'm like, wow,
they can make air. That's a part where I and
then you saw him dandy.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
That's when I thought, hey, Marvel can do any They
can make a superhero to anybody, if almost if you
can make iron Man into a.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Leader when he was just a guy.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
He was a jag superhero, and you can make ant
Man into a thing, which I don't think ant Man
even had a comic book after nineteen seventy five could
do anything, but clearly that is not the case.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
After seeing the multiverse.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Well, as soon as someone decided let's go down the
road of a multiverse.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
You're joining kind of a low moment. Just so you know, no,
that's true, Jason, you got off track. Let me.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
He did get an on camera reference in as well.
I don't think I didn't notice that.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Yeah, the Boxer takes so Boxer's is green Lantern, Commando
is Deadpool.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
There you go. Fine, does that make you feel better?
It does?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
It does.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Hey, it's it's new for Disney. Okay, yes, it is
new for Disney. I'll try listen. Marvel will be back
in when Robert Downey Junior is Doctor Doom. And when
they bring the X Men in full, that will bring
Marvel back.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
They go.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Because X Men were always more popular than the Avengers,
they hit it big. When they bring them in, that'll
be the storm coming back, rebirth of Marvel. Do I
get more halle Berry? I hope so, I hope so.
Will Michael Jay thing be in it?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Michael Jay from from SNL him and.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Colin off in the corner doing the thing back and forth,
the dueling updates?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Do the jokes about each other? One that goes over
so well. I got a scarlet Johansson joke for you ready,
and another one for you The other one. I don't know. Jason.
I think you just got to stop wearing boxers for
a little bit. You'll get it. No, I don't wear boxers,
I wear I actually wear boxer briefs. Oh, that's worse.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
This is too much, by the way, the answer was maroon.
Oh yeah, you looked at the color of your underwear.
I forgot, good man, I forgot. Do you have them
labeled like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I bet you do, I bet you do. These are
only saying that because Adam Levine's on.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
These are my fun Friday underwear, like Friday's the drawer
did all the like the ones with the eight ball
on them or the fire.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Elephant trunk on the front.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
You maroon, I got these for Christmas from a girl
that really liked me, I meaning peanuts. Okay, so that's
after it's it's after ten o'clock. Oh, it's after o'clock.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Hey, what does that be? What does that be in
the middle of the ear therefore, why is it there for?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Uh? Look, Hassan Reddick asked the Jets for a trade today.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
He did.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
The defensive lineman who looked for a while now has
been one of the best defensive ends in the game
gets the quarterback twenty nine years old, wanted a new contract.
There's been differing opinions as to when the Jets traded
for Reddick in the offseason.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Who said what? Because the Jets say, hey, we traded
for Reddick.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
We told Hassan Reddick probably not going to get a
new deal, but we'll talk money. Come into camp, we'll
figure it out. Hassan Reddick's side says, no, No, the
Jets knew I wanted a new deal, and I wasn't
going to go there and show up unless I got
new money.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
And so what happened.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Hassan Reddick has spent one bleeping day in Jets, in
entire Jets facilities since the trade. Earlier this season April
Fool's Day. Let's take his physical all right, see you guys,
you give me more money.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
So today he asked to be traded. The Jets did
all their stuff in the off season. Lit two defensive
linemen go, we're going to bring in Hassan Reddick. He's
going to be great. And he says today he wants
to be traded, and the Jets say, no, we're not
going to trade you. We're sticking to our guns, and
we look forward to seeing you in camp. You're accruing
all these fines every day, and I look at this
and I just go, Jets are always gonna jet.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
They're always gonna jet.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
And my first reaction always is, what does Aaron Rodgers
think of this? It is Aaron Rodgers going to get
to the point where he goes, what the hell am
I doing with this team?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Why? Now?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I understand why they've been a laughingstock for the last
twenty five years. I understand that now. And I really
should have said, I want to play with a different team.
I get that, I love New York. I should have
pushed for a trade to the Giants. What am I
doing here? Because these people have no idea what they're doing?
Because you could tell me all this differing sides to
Reddick of the Jets New But if Reddick really was
(08:48):
renegging on his promise that I'll be there and all
of a sudden decided nope, I want more money, that
would have been leaked out. The Jets would have leaked
that up. Reddick promised he would stay. We traded for
him and he going back on his word. But instead
it's he said, it's he said, he said, so I
know that the Jets didn't do their homework when they
made this trade. Now that they give up a lot
form no, because Reddick's again twenty nine years old, he
(09:10):
wants a new contract. It's not a big that's not
a big deal. But this is how the Jets are
always gonna jet. This is how they operate, and this
is how Joe Douglass and Robert Sala are going to
get fired after this year if they don't win big.
It's yet another example of how, boy, everything is in
the basket of Aaron Rodgers, and can he play well
enough to cover up the fact that we're the Jets?
(09:32):
Can he play well enough so everybody can forget this
is the Jets, and the Jets stink, and the Jets
are looking so incredibly embarrassed again after this story. They
are hoping that this is what he does and if
he can do that, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter
what happens offensively, doesn't matter. If Aaron Rodgers is great,
he's over three hundred yards a week and Garrett Wilson's
score getting one hundred and fifty yards a week and
(09:54):
two touchdowns and the Jets are rolling over people, it's.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Not gonna matter.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
But this is yet another example of how now everything
is in that basket that if Rogers is good, we
have to hope that he covers up the fact that
we don't know what we're doing, and the Jets always
find a way to look ridiculous. And here's another example
of it, because no matter how you ever you want
to slice it, here's a Jets make a trade for
a guy they can't get him in and be in
the building one day. Then he asked for a trade. Yeah,
(10:19):
I think you go back to last season the clown
show was about how much power was given and put
into the person of Aaron Rodgers in terms of players
that were brought in, Nathaniel Hackett, go on down the line,
Robert sala Is, he over his skis and everything else.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
But then they ended up performing reasonably well.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Right, you about performing it, and we've talked about it
a lot off season, and going back to the throes
of the twenty twenty three campaign was with a quarterback,
a functional quarterback, he actually could have maybe possibly done
some damage.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
And I put damage in quotes.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
You decide that goes but one air your shareff games like,
all right, now you get a competent quarterback that comes
back to play, and Reddick was a bonus. And I
think that's the way you kind of have to look
at his arrival because again, you didn't give up much
for it. Now did you let opportunity costs?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
You let other people go to bring him in?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Right, it's not one for one, but you go through
the process and Aaron Rodgers, you were banking on him
to be that guy regardless. Right, we get a full
season of him, You got Hall, you got Wilson, Mike
Williams has been cleared to at least do something, so
that's positive. You revamp the offensive line older but experience
(11:37):
in theory, they keep Rogers upright, and away you go
with a defense that's supposed to be really good now
missing Reddick huge chess. P's go simulate the season as
you will. But I'd gotten away from the clown show
of it because it was more focused on Rogers himself
and the power, not necessarily on the team. Right, it
was all right we did, we went all in on him,
(12:00):
and then he gets hurt. So you get a grade
of an incomplete because the rest of those guys clearly
don't work with anybody else. Hackett doesn't work with another quarterback,
and those other wide receivers did work. And then all
of a sudden, what are the reports from Jets camp?
The last couple weeks. Oh, look at Wizard, Look at that.
It's like, yeah, because Rogers throwing the ball. The guys
that know each other. So yeah, if he gets hurt again,
(12:21):
you're screwed. But look, some things are timeless, right. The
Bears are just trying to crawl out of the years
of foolishness and stupidity and false starts.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
The Jets, maybe you get there. If not, we all
get to laugh along.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
You know, look the way you want to cherry on
top of this Sunday right, how the how embarrassing this
is When holdouts happen, Generally, somebody wins. Right when a
player holds out from a team, either the player wins
because he gets paid and he comes in because the
team caves, or the team wins because the player caves
(12:59):
he wants to get paid, he comes in and.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
The team wins.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Sometimes they both win because the guy holds out, he
gets some money he wants, the team is happy. Everybody wins.
This is a case where nobody wins because the Jets
don't win because Reddick's not gonna play. Because at this point,
even if he does come in. That's why I look
at this and I go, I hope this is just
a one day story because he's not been with the
team at all, no OTAs, no practices, no nothing. What
(13:25):
kind of player is he really gonna be this year?
He hasn't worked out, hasn't been in camp. It's two
weeks have gone by, one game down, two more to go.
What kind of player is he gonna be? If he
does try to rush his way back, he's just gonna
get hurt. That happens to every player that tries to
rush to get in shape and get on the field.
So he's not gonna have a great season no matter
what happens for the Jets.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
For him, he.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Wants to get paid. What's gonna happen? The Jets are
gonna make him sin or he rushes back in and
he gets hurt. Is he really gonna get paid next year?
He's not so the fact that nobody wins here because
he's not gonna play unless he gets a new deal. Meanwhile,
if he doesn't played this year, no one's gonna give
him a ton of money when he's thirty. No one
to give it to when he was twenty nine. No
one's gonna do it after a year away or a
bad year.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
So he's not. He doesn't win. Nobody wins. Yes, it's
not a winner here.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
See, I gave you the alternate universe Marvel spidering effect.
Aaron Rodgers comes out of Captain America for you here,
and he solves it by saying, let's rework some of
my moneys and we get this guy paid so we
can all go try to win. He gets a little
good will, they get their their pass rusher and good.
(14:30):
The other is you eventually figure out where that gap is,
like the forty nine ers are trying to do with
Ayuk and everything else, and then you don't have to
rush him back if it's six weeks, it's six weeks.
Rather have him for the stretch run because otherwise what's
gonna happen. He's gonna come back to report what is
a week ten, week eleven? So he's got just enough
(14:50):
weeks for his service time to count. Because that's the
other scenario that comes out of this. Right, Hey, he's back.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
And what is he? Yeah? I mean nobody wins.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Nobody wins, and the Jets look like amateurs again again
again Aaron Roddy. At some point he's gonna go, what
the hell was I doing here?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Man? What the hell was I doing here?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah? But see when you frame it like that, you're
trying to make him a sympathetic figure.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
He made a choice. Man who's feeling sorry for him?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Not me? Not you, Lieutenant Weinberg. Exit out, bout of Fresca,
Exit Swollen Dome. The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon,

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Live from the Tirack dot com studios. So I want
to tell you because I may curse.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
So it's we had to do this after a ten
o'clock Uh, you do not need to go see Trap.
You do not need to go see Trap. Yeah, you
gave me a quick rundown. We had one of our
colleagues come down from the other building. He wanted to
use the toaster and he walked in on it and
he goes.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yeah, I'm not gonna see it.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
So you just continued to tell me because I basically
decided until it's long on streaming, it's not one I'm
going to go to. That's what they should have called
the effort to get you into the movie. Hey trap,
Hey trap, you.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
That's a trap. Uh okay, let me just say this.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Uh I you know, when the movie ended, I turned
to my I'm no spoiler's no spoiler, and I'll tell
you a good thing first.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I'll tell you a good thing first.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Josh Hartnett was really good, Like I am surprised, like
he's going to get a lot of heat off. Josh
hart was it. Yes, he hit a lot of three.
He was in every second of the movie. They didn't
take him out.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
For at all. He was pretty tired at the end,
so they.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Caught him so tired, I can't run anymore. Uh. Tims
caught him with with the with with the the Turtle
Nick and Josh Harten.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
It was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Like, right, he's back and forth between being this you
know a dad and this crazy cah I mean, you see,
and I'm not ruined anything. It's all in the trailers
what the movie's about. And he's really good at it.
And he's going to get a lot of heat because
he was very good. And and the the actress, the
girl who played his daughter, also very good.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
They had really good chemistry. They were both really good.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
At the end of the movie, I turned to my
wife and I said, how does anybody green.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Light this one?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Because it's a really good concept, right, Like, here's a
serial killer that's at a concert and boy, it's you know,
they're they know they're gonna catch this the serial killer there.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
I said, I can't unders.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I don't understand how anybody says, yes, we're gonna pay
for this movie Ago, I wouldn't be surprised. And my
Chamelan is paying his own way for this. And I
find out sure enough, hey underwrites his movies. Oh well,
that makes sense how this gets approved. The script gets
approved because there's so many laughable moments in the movie
where you go that makes this makes absolute see in
(19:31):
that sense, but you're I don't even know how many
people have said it at this point. Like my daughter,
who you you've heard ends our phone conversations at time.
She'll give you details about every bit, right, everything that,
and remembers all these my mi new details of films,
TV shows, reality competition, whatever else. When when I said, hey,
(19:53):
how was it, her review was just no, it was
just no, and she shook her head.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
That was it. She didn't want talking about it anymore.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
And then I've had other people that said, exactly what
you did, uh, just the number of laughs when it's
not supposed to be a comedy. I'm like, what, this
makes no sense? But you want another positive part of
its part?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Hey, positive pair?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Hey, love your kids, love every one of your kids.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Like m.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Knight loves his daughter to try to make her recording
career happen because the entire movie she does, financing that
she does like eight songs, like her songs are the
entire movie, because you know, no spoilers, right, no, no, no,
the whole thing is the whole thing. This guy the trailers.
(20:42):
The guy goes to a concert with his daughter. Turns
out the concerts a trap to get the serial.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
What happened to the trailer spoiling everything for you?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
What do you mean it didn't spoil it the trailer? Well,
they should never have told you that the trailer. They
shouldn't have, but they did so on ago because of that.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Uh No, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I was gonna see it, I said. I said that
that was a supid way to have it. But like
the the Lady Raven who they go see in concert
is m Night's daughter, and like her songs, like the
entire movie is her songs.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Did she even has she even has a a at.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
The end, a really weird I'm not gonna give anything away,
a really weird unplugged acoustic song that she's able to
do because it's part of the plot.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I'm like, oh my se what just you know what?
Just pay for her to do an album and put
it out then if that's what.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
But like her song the entire like she's Lady Gaga,
like she's Taylor Swift, she's Katie Perry like in her
songs the entire movie, or her songs.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Love your Kid like he loves his kids.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
But it's the argument I made for Lebron when everybody
was getting all out of whack when they drafted Brownie.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
It's like, if you could make something happen, Lebron doing it. Lebron.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
So I told all the people in our business you can't.
You can't advocate for a friend, a friend's kid, your
kid for a job.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Ever again, just don't ask Lebron for a selfie. No,
you don't do that. He he almost knocked that kid out.
He hated him.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
The effort Lebron put in to get Bronny on the
Lakers looks like he was a dad that hadn't seen
his kid in twenty years compared to the effort and
night shemline goes through to help his daughter's career.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
USA Today from me, he's got he got outfit.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Wait wait, wait everything here, here's the uh, here's the
headlines the USA Today.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Come.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
How m Knight's trap became his daughter Seleka's purple rage.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Yeah, it's kind of what it is.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Let me schieve and then and the daughter knows all
the words to all the songs that you have no
idea of. Oh it's it's I'm like, this is wow,
this is really like I wonder if he is you
know what I have kind of a half idea for
a movie, because that's what it was. Kind of a
half idea for a movie. But I don't really care
anymore because I'm making movies for twenty years. I financed
my own stuff. I made six cents, I made Unbreakable.
I don't care anymore.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
So yeah, let's do this and we'll find a way
jump start your career. Here. It's a good thing. I
tapped out after a couple of those. Dude, I can't
what was it?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
The village?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Oh, I kind of like, kind of like that.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I kind of like it, and then I kind of
hated it. The more I can thought about it ben
a while since every visiting, but a lot of them
the recent Yeah, and then Unbreakable was good, was really good,
Signs was really good.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Those three movies. Watchers was really good.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I didn't see Watchers, and now after this, I'm probably
not going to see that unfortunately, No I'm not.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
I'm I think I'm done. What was the twist? What
did Anthony Davis not get nominated for an Austin and
Unbreakable Joel Embiid won it. That's how that.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Was the French version, So monsieur, Wait, how's it doing?
On rotten Tomatoes. I'm going probably rot fifty. That's awful.
That's awful coming up in ninety seconds. Meanwhile, Paratrap is
eighty seven. I will tell you, well, there's a reason
why I told you why because there's a reason and
why parent I'm not gonna spoil it, but the reason
(24:03):
why parent trap is trending alongside that. In ninety seconds,
I'll tell you what NFL team is in the era
of good feeling, there'll be a super Bowl threat for
the next ten years. It's not Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Who is it? We'll tell you, But first, Kevin Wired
has watched fred.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
That's probably not the Jets right now because Hassan Reddick
demanding a trade after the Jets just got him what
four or five months ago DJ Clearly we're in the
chronicles of Reddick now to find out when he hits
the field.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Is he a better actor than Vin Diesel.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Hey, that's a second year in a row, in which
I mean if Reddick is granted his trade request, that
the Jets would not get much production out of their acquisition.
Of course, Aaron Rodgers going down after what six snaps
last year?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
He will be back with score. But who's counting.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, four even less, so four snaps by Aaron Rodgers
Hassan Reddick gets traded. Not much out of that either,
but Jets general manager Joe Douglas is saying though that
they won't trade Reddick and they're gonna find him and
expect him to show it up and if he doesn't,
they'll continue finding him under the stipulations of the collective
of bargaining agreements. So we'll see how that turns out.
(25:13):
The Lions are another team people giving high hopes for,
but Jamir Gibbs hurting his hamstring in practice today, so
the word is is that he could be out a
little while. They're hoping maybe he can come back on
Week one, but not looking good for the Lions. Running
back in Major League Baseball, Blake Snell and the Giants
(25:34):
had a no hitter going until they didn't. The Braves
break it up in the seventh inning and Atlanta getting
as good, if not an even better start from Chris
Sale who went seven scoreless innings with thirteen strikeouts. Now
first part had twelve strikeouts and three hits allowed in
his start, but the Braves do win it in extra innings,
won nothing. Padre has beat the Pirates two to one
(25:56):
in a pitcher's duel. In San Diego, Diamondbacks that come
from behind win against the rock He's five to four.
Daughters get Mookie Betts back in the lineup, and he
makes an impact immediately, hitting a two run home run
for Los Angeles en route to a five to two
victory against the Milwaukee Brewers. So LA has both San
Diego and Arizona nipping at the heels. They are three
(26:16):
and a half games back of Los Angeles in the
NL West Al Central trying to take form here as
the Twins trying to keep pace with the Guardians. They
beat the Royals eight three, but the Guardians a big
back and forth victory against the Chicago Cubs, winning it
nine to eight as John Kenzie Noel hits two home
(26:37):
runs for Cleveland. Elsewhere, in Major League Baseball, Asters over
the race six to one. Red Sox beat the Rangers
in extra innings five to four, despite Corey Seekers game
tying home run in the seventh. The White Sox pound
the Yankees twelve to two. In the South Side of Chicago,
Blue Jays over the Angels four to two at the
Big A. Back to you guys, thank you, kay dub
(26:59):
So I'm gonna make you feel great. Mike Carmon, are
you sure a couple of years ago when Joe Burrow
proved he was.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
The real thing?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Hey, I said, Cincinnati Bengals fans, your suffering is over.
You are in the era of good feeling for the
next decade. You will be a super Bowl threat for
the next decade because Joe Burrow is that good. And
now Shady's back, yes, and obviously being healthiest back again.
But you will be a yearly super Bowl threat because
(27:27):
Joe Burrow is that guy. And I'll tell you this,
Chicago Bears, you are in the era of good feeling
because for the first time ever you have a quarterback.
You will be a yearly super Bowl threat for the
next decade.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Because of calebod Is that what you're doing to me? Now,
I'm not doing this to you, buddy. I'm talking.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I'm telling you, buddy, it's not just because oh wow,
he played one game for the Bears. This is a
guy who remembers had an incredible collegiate career and goes
number one overall and number one overall and has never
threatened usually guys that, Hey, you'll be the number one
pick in the draft. They're threatened at some point, but
yet there was never any conversation that anyone other than.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Williams was going to be the number one pick.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Whenever he went to the NFL would have been the
number one pick two years ago, number one pick. Now,
as good as Jayden Daniel was Heisman Trophy, he goes second, right,
everybody else goes behind him. Caleb Williams is that good.
And he has come in and in a very short
amount of time has done a lot of things right.
And it's great. You know the story from last week
that oh, hey he told the veterans, hey, we got
(28:32):
to make sure stuff is clean. That's great, that's a
nice little story. But the fact that he has come
in and you watch him play a little bit in
Game one, and you can see where his talent lies
and how he stepped in like this was week seven
of a regular season. Not only does he make the
(28:54):
right decisions, there's no panic. He throws short when he
has to, he dumps it off when he has to.
He throws on the run better than anybody. And I
can't understand why teams don't do that for quarterbacks that
throw well on the run. Why they don't put more
stuff in the playbook for Hey, we're going to have
a designed run and we're going to throw either back
(29:16):
to the middle of the field or something else.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
When a quarterback throws.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Good on the run, hey you got to take advantage
like Mark Sanchez did that great. And I never understand
why the Jets, well they're the Jets, why they didn't
take advantage of that. Well, that was one of the
biggest criticisms of the last regime in Chicago. It gets
he didn't do with Justin Fields, Who's guess what. That
was one of his biggest traits do. But when he
held onto the ball, he throws so well on the run,
and you saw it in the first preseason game. And
(29:42):
when you see the players talk about him, what they
say about him, how good he is, what he's shown
them in practice so far, there was none of that
with Justin Fields or Rex Grozman or any quarterback of
the last twenty years. Oh, Justin's doing this, he's looking good.
But this overwhelmingly is we know we got the guy.
We got the guy. He's gonna take over the NFL.
(30:03):
People aren't ready at how good he's going to be
not just because well, here's Kayleb Williams. He's gonna elevate everybody.
Caleb Williams is showing up with weapons everywhere. You know,
he's like John Wick. I'm walking into a room that's
filled with knives. I'm gonna kill everybody, right, I'm going
to do He walks in and here's DeAndre Swift and
it looks like Khalil Herbert is gonna get a lot
(30:23):
of run this year. So you're solid at running back.
You have two terrific wide receivers. DJ Moore is a
top five wide receiver. Romo Donze was a first round
pick that already he's got some kind of rapport with.
You have a great tight ending comet, you have a
great team. You have a great team. You are loaded
on offense, and he is that good. Watching him the
last two years, you knew every few years there's a
(30:44):
number one pick that steps in that's just okay. He's
a little bit further ahead than everybody else, right Burrow.
Then he get a couple of years and now we
have it here with Kayleb Williams. He is that good
and the Bears are a super Bowl threat for the
next decade.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
You just sit back and enjoy.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
It because not just doesn't mean every year going to
the super Bowl, but every year is going to be. Hey,
Bears could get to the super Bowl. That this could be.
They're gonna be favored to be a team that can
win the NFC North. They're gonna be favored as a
team that can go deep into the playoffs because you
have Caleb Williams.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
He is the guy.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
As we sit here today, last I looked at it
was still forty to one for Super Bowl odds.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
If you want to go down that road, you.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Forgot Rosehawan Johnson and Keenan Allen will just round out
all of the skill position players. He had a top
ten defense once Montes Sweat showed up and that eber
Flues took over the defense. And now it just comes
down to what is Waldron What is he able to
coax out of out of Williams? You know, making sure
that you keep your progressions, keep your eyes downfield. That
(31:42):
was the thing that you love to see is that
as he did roll out, eyes are up and watching
the play develop, watching the receivers. In one of the drops,
Cole Kmet it looked like he was fully expecting Williams
to take off and run and then turn back and
while the ball hit him in the.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Hand, still got to catch it.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
But it's that kind of thing, just the little little
things that in communication that will get better over time.
But yeah, truly encouraged. And in Chicago they're they're doing backflips.
I mean, there's no question about it that you're looking
at an age of excitement and with all those skilled
position players. And that's not to take anything in and
(32:21):
not put blame on the quarterbacks of the past. They
didn't run with offenses that look like this, right, they
didn't run with this many weapons and with Keenan Allen,
you know my fears of the soldier field, turf and
long term availability. Just get them along. Roma Dunsa gonna
be a beast. Cole Comet two years ago, had his
(32:43):
drop issues, had his odd ball security issues. He's seemingly
gotten past that, even though I just highlighted a big drop.
But Williams fluidity, his ability to move out of the pocket,
get on the run, and then now they're doing the
slipping slide drill, So get really good at that and
avoiding hits there because there's the biggest thing to underscore
(33:05):
at all. It's all good avoid avoid the big here.
But that's the thing is that, Yes, keeping him healthy,
that's always a thing, but it's with him being smart. Yeah,
and in his college career we saw that. And he's
also got a much better defense than he ever played
behind h You got no problems, man, I'm telling you,
you have no problems. It's it's going to be just
(33:25):
curse me. It's going to be all you just smile.
It's going to be an awesome year and it's going
to be out of the gate. The Bears are going
to be good and they're going to be a huge story.
Want to go see him in Arizona? Telling you, I'm
already looking at the schedule.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
What what what?
Speaker 1 (33:40):
What's the what's the temperature gonna be? It's gonna bee
hundred and five degrees? I'm not gonna go no, no, no,
it's not till November one hundred and two degrees.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Yeah, let's go island.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I'll buy you water Soft eight ninety and Staten Island
is not one hundred and five.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
All right, how about a road trip up to Santa
Clara again?
Speaker 1 (33:58):
What is it gonna be one hundred and five degrees
in those see eighth one hundred and two degrees.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Jason, do you know you have the best wading through
the heat. What's the best way.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Is to invest in a big air conditioning full circle,
have it on your back as you walk down the street.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Now, that's how it works. If you guys want to
make it to December, a if you better break here. Hey,
if we make it to December.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
We go from a team who's got no problems to
a team who all of a sudden has a big
one in the NFL. They're thinking super Bowl? But are
they still after today?
Speaker 3 (34:28):
That's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Are we gonna play.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
This song until we hear Nicholas Cage? Yeah? What Alex
ty it likes to do all the time.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
He's got his finger on the button that please Nikola.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
live fromthatirack dot com studios. So the era of good
feeling is here for the Bears, Mayors Super Bowl threat
for a decade. Caleb Williams is him. He is the
real thing. And now the flip side of it, another
team that we thought, hey, they got super Bowl dreams
(35:18):
this year, the Detroit Lions, maybe without Junior Gibbs, their
star running back.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
For a while.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Gibbs goes down in practice today with a hamstring injury.
Now it's not known the severity, but according to reports,
it seemed like it was a pretty severe one.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Right now they are thinking. The thinking is hopefully.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
He can come back for Week one, but the Lions
won't know until tomorrow. And this is where I say,
you know, if it's if it's a significant hamstring injury,
but I ain't come back for week one. I just
have to be realistic. When's the last time somebody in
training camp for at any point in the season had
(36:01):
a hamstring, calf, or groin strain or injury of some
kind A serious one is because somewhat seriously kept them
out for a few weeks and they got over it
and came back and had a normal year. Doesn't happen
they're dogged by that injury all season long because all
that helps that is rest and stretching in different regiments
and everything else that goes along with how do you
(36:23):
rehab that kind of injury, and that injury is not
the same until you go back and play next year.
So no matter what it is, hopefully it's Jremior goes, oh, hey,
guess what we got lucky and it's just a he's
only going to be out for a week come back, Okay, great,
But if this is something where he's out four weeks
and he is ready to and they're hoping he comes
back week one, Every injury like this for a player,
(36:45):
especially at running back, is the same. They'll come back
for a week or two, but then they're out for
a couple of weeks and they'll come back for a week,
they're out for two weeks, they come back for two weeks,
they're out for a week, they come back again, they're
out for three That's just how it goes with injury
like this. Because he had issues back in OTAs right
going back, we had some of those reports, so questioning reaggravation.
(37:06):
Is there something else going on again, until we get
through the medicals, we won't know, but short term highly concerning.
Now you know me, I'm a big David Montgomery guy,
but much different running style, right, Bludgeing you between the tackles,
work short yardage goal line doesn't mean he doesn't have
some burst and can't give you that. But at this point,
(37:26):
the goal in bringing him back with Gibbs was you
got to, you know, pull the strings as an offensive wizard.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Right.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
He came back for another run, you know, your coordinator,
for another run with this squad, and this is.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
A big chess piece that goes off the board because.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Behind him, what are you looking at? Reynolds and some
other players. He's the biggest chess piece. But I'm on
Ross Saint Brown. Yeah, but you have other weapons there
that you can throw the football to. Sam Laporte is
a pretty good tight end, right.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Well, Williams started to come on last year.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
You miss Gibbs and all of a sudden, You're running
game is very pedestrian because David Montgomery doesn't scare anybody.
But as part of this backfield, hey, he is very
effective being that between the tackles guy. And obviously Gibbs
would get a little bit more responsibility this year, second
year in the lead. They brought him along slowly last year,
which is the right thing because he was still playing
at a high level in the playoffs when generally it's okay,
(38:18):
by week eleven, I've hit the rookie one.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Yeah, I mean you're not giving him twenty five touches
a game. You don't need to, but you are. You are.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
He's the one guy you can't lose if you're the Lions.
And if he's out of this is some kind of
an injury that keeps him out a few weeks, Like
I'll take the Lions out of my Hey can how far.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Can they get? Yeah, maybe they can. They can squeak
out a playoff.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Bert, Well, you're already afraid of JJ McCarthy and you
just crowned Caleb Williams so and Jordan Love in the Packers.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
I mean, you're.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Already looking fan of fourth place. Finished talking about the
most fairly you were just trying to piss off here family.
He was the most dynamic running back to end of
the league last year, and without him, that's a tough thing. Man,
that's really tough to get past. Say no, no, we're good, No,
you're not really good. Montgomery is okay. He's an okay guy.
He's a jet and sends you back to the board
(39:08):
as a coordinator, and you're also looking around going all right,
what kind of assets do we have and who may
shake free or where's there a potentially disgruntled running back
who can do some of the same things Gibbs does.
If he's out for that time, even if he can
come back early in the season, you know that's the
year for him. And if that's the kind of year
(39:29):
he has, that's a difficult year for the line.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
There. You're you're always, you're all all, you're.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Already sorry, you're already trying to get back, and you'll
be playing the NFC championship game every single week because
you're like, boy, we were that close, and we were
that close and we just missed it. So not only
do you have that big mountain climb that seems so large,
you're dealing without a guy like remember how important he
was down the stretched in the playoffs. He was their
best player, he was their best player.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
He was electric.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
And now this is a huge injury, and everybody's got
their fingers crossed, prayer circles all online, everybody. I hope,
I hope he's great, because he's a great player, and
you want great players to play in the league. But
if this is an injury keeps him out, man, that's
gonna scratch lines from contenttion.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
What do you think the camera on Ben Johnson was
when the news hit.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
I gotta rip up my playbook exit out about a
Fresca exit swollen down The Jason Smith Show with my

I mean, yesterday was a great day for America. Dealing

Sons of Anarchy. I'm juggling a lot of things every day.
But there's a lot of positivity White Socks beat the Yankees.

And it's he's Actually it can work on that, Okay, dude.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
In the beginning, drink a lot of coffee, and I

of dipping them right in there, dropping them in. Nah,

certain age, okay, you're going to realize, oh, chafing is
not fun.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
So you wear all No, but you got creams and
other things that can help you out there. So I
don't Chase. No, you don't have to shave.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
No.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Chafing is not fun. It's from shaving, right, chafing?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
No, no, no, cha cha? What's that from chafing? It
means when when when parts of your body are rubbing
together and its skin doesn't feel good.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Yeabe, he's got him. That's why underwear was invented. No, yes,
no underwear. Never watched Seinfeld?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Why do you think underwear was invented? Have you ever
watched Seinfeld? Yes?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Remember how Crangress has stopped wearing it because it's lowering
his tesoscrp.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Okay, so what I'm saying, you're citing a fictional character,
no real in a television He was a real person.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
He's just true.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Sure, Okay, you're you're citing Kramer a reason why to
not wear underwheel.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I'm just saying. You quote Marvel movies every day. Yeah,
but I don't say, Hey, it's not real.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Hey, I iron Man said, I am iron Man and
save the world.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I don't go walk around, Yeah you do. No, I
don't do that. Yeah, I've heard it. Also, iron Man's
a lame superhero if we're being real.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Oh, hey, listen, Marvel made iron Man, who was like
a B level superhero into one of the biggest stars.
That's a big deal. YEA, like Marvel took some I mean,
I still can't believe Marvel made ant Man into a thing.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I'm like, nobody even cared about ant Man an Man,
how's that gonna say? Everybody loves Paul Rudd exactly. But Okay,
it was funny and they made it. I'm like, wow,
they can make air. That's a part where I and
then you saw him dandy.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
That's when I thought, hey, Marvel can do any They
can make a superhero to anybody, if almost if you
can make iron Man into a.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Leader when he was just a guy.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
He was a jag superhero, and you can make ant
Man into a thing, which I don't think ant Man
even had a comic book after nineteen seventy five could
do anything, but clearly that is not the case.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
After seeing the multiverse.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Well, as soon as someone decided let's go down the
road of a multiverse.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
You're joining kind of a low moment. Just so you know, no,
that's true, Jason, you got off track. Let me.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
He did get an on camera reference in as well.
I don't think I didn't notice that.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Yeah, the Boxer takes so Boxer's is green Lantern, Commando
is Deadpool.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
There you go. Fine, does that make you feel better?
It does?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
It does.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Hey, it's it's new for Disney. Okay, yes, it is
new for Disney. I'll try listen. Marvel will be back
in when Robert Downey Junior is Doctor Doom. And when
they bring the X Men in full, that will bring
Marvel back.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
They go.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Because X Men were always more popular than the Avengers,
they hit it big. When they bring them in, that'll
be the storm coming back, rebirth of Marvel. Do I
get more halle Berry? I hope so, I hope so.
Will Michael Jay thing be in it?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Michael Jay from from SNL him and.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Colin off in the corner doing the thing back and forth,
the dueling updates?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Do the jokes about each other? One that goes over
so well. I got a scarlet Johansson joke for you ready,
and another one for you The other one. I don't know. Jason.
I think you just got to stop wearing boxers for
a little bit. You'll get it. No, I don't wear boxers,
I wear I actually wear boxer briefs. Oh, that's worse.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
This is too much, by the way, the answer was maroon.
Oh yeah, you looked at the color of your underwear.
I forgot, good man, I forgot. Do you have them
labeled like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I bet you do, I bet you do. These are
only saying that because Adam Levine's on.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
These are my fun Friday underwear, like Friday's the drawer
did all the like the ones with the eight ball
on them or the fire.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Elephant trunk on the front.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
You maroon, I got these for Christmas from a girl
that really liked me, I meaning peanuts. Okay, so that's
after it's it's after ten o'clock. Oh, it's after o'clock.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Hey, what does that be? What does that be in
the middle of the ear therefore, why is it there for?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Uh? Look, Hassan Reddick asked the Jets for a trade today.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
He did.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
The defensive lineman who looked for a while now has
been one of the best defensive ends in the game
gets the quarterback twenty nine years old, wanted a new contract.
There's been differing opinions as to when the Jets traded
for Reddick in the offseason.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Who said what? Because the Jets say, hey, we traded
for Reddick.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
We told Hassan Reddick probably not going to get a
new deal, but we'll talk money. Come into camp, we'll
figure it out. Hassan Reddick's side says, no, No, the
Jets knew I wanted a new deal, and I wasn't
going to go there and show up unless I got
new money.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
And so what happened.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Hassan Reddick has spent one bleeping day in Jets, in
entire Jets facilities since the trade. Earlier this season April
Fool's Day. Let's take his physical all right, see you guys,
you give me more money.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
So today he asked to be traded. The Jets did
all their stuff in the off season. Lit two defensive
linemen go, we're going to bring in Hassan Reddick. He's
going to be great. And he says today he wants
to be traded, and the Jets say, no, we're not
going to trade you. We're sticking to our guns, and
we look forward to seeing you in camp. You're accruing
all these fines every day, and I look at this
and I just go, Jets are always gonna jet.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
They're always gonna jet.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
And my first reaction always is, what does Aaron Rodgers
think of this? It is Aaron Rodgers going to get
to the point where he goes, what the hell am
I doing with this team?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Why? Now?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I understand why they've been a laughingstock for the last
twenty five years. I understand that now. And I really
should have said, I want to play with a different team.
I get that, I love New York. I should have
pushed for a trade to the Giants. What am I
doing here? Because these people have no idea what they're doing?
Because you could tell me all this differing sides to
Reddick of the Jets New But if Reddick really was
(08:48):
renegging on his promise that I'll be there and all
of a sudden decided nope, I want more money, that
would have been leaked out. The Jets would have leaked
that up. Reddick promised he would stay. We traded for
him and he going back on his word. But instead
it's he said, it's he said, he said, so I
know that the Jets didn't do their homework when they
made this trade. Now that they give up a lot
form no, because Reddick's again twenty nine years old, he
(09:10):
wants a new contract. It's not a big that's not
a big deal. But this is how the Jets are
always gonna jet. This is how they operate, and this
is how Joe Douglass and Robert Sala are going to
get fired after this year if they don't win big.
It's yet another example of how, boy, everything is in
the basket of Aaron Rodgers, and can he play well
enough to cover up the fact that we're the Jets?
(09:32):
Can he play well enough so everybody can forget this
is the Jets, and the Jets stink, and the Jets
are looking so incredibly embarrassed again after this story. They
are hoping that this is what he does and if
he can do that, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter
what happens offensively, doesn't matter. If Aaron Rodgers is great,
he's over three hundred yards a week and Garrett Wilson's
score getting one hundred and fifty yards a week and
(09:54):
two touchdowns and the Jets are rolling over people, it's.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Not gonna matter.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
But this is yet another example of how now everything
is in that basket that if Rogers is good, we
have to hope that he covers up the fact that
we don't know what we're doing, and the Jets always
find a way to look ridiculous. And here's another example
of it, because no matter how you ever you want
to slice it, here's a Jets make a trade for
a guy they can't get him in and be in
the building one day. Then he asked for a trade. Yeah,
(10:19):
I think you go back to last season the clown
show was about how much power was given and put
into the person of Aaron Rodgers in terms of players
that were brought in, Nathaniel Hackett, go on down the line,
Robert sala Is, he over his skis and everything else.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
But then they ended up performing reasonably well.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Right, you about performing it, and we've talked about it
a lot off season, and going back to the throes
of the twenty twenty three campaign was with a quarterback,
a functional quarterback, he actually could have maybe possibly done
some damage.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
And I put damage in quotes.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
You decide that goes but one air your shareff games like,
all right, now you get a competent quarterback that comes
back to play, and Reddick was a bonus. And I
think that's the way you kind of have to look
at his arrival because again, you didn't give up much
for it. Now did you let opportunity costs?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
You let other people go to bring him in?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Right, it's not one for one, but you go through
the process and Aaron Rodgers, you were banking on him
to be that guy regardless. Right, we get a full
season of him, You got Hall, you got Wilson, Mike
Williams has been cleared to at least do something, so
that's positive. You revamp the offensive line older but experience
(11:37):
in theory, they keep Rogers upright, and away you go
with a defense that's supposed to be really good now
missing Reddick huge chess. P's go simulate the season as
you will. But I'd gotten away from the clown show
of it because it was more focused on Rogers himself
and the power, not necessarily on the team. Right, it
was all right we did, we went all in on him,
(12:00):
and then he gets hurt. So you get a grade
of an incomplete because the rest of those guys clearly
don't work with anybody else. Hackett doesn't work with another quarterback,
and those other wide receivers did work. And then all
of a sudden, what are the reports from Jets camp?
The last couple weeks. Oh, look at Wizard, Look at that.
It's like, yeah, because Rogers throwing the ball. The guys
that know each other. So yeah, if he gets hurt again,
(12:21):
you're screwed. But look, some things are timeless, right. The
Bears are just trying to crawl out of the years
of foolishness and stupidity and false starts.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
The Jets, maybe you get there. If not, we all
get to laugh along.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
You know, look the way you want to cherry on
top of this Sunday right, how the how embarrassing this
is When holdouts happen, Generally, somebody wins. Right when a
player holds out from a team, either the player wins
because he gets paid and he comes in because the
team caves, or the team wins because the player caves
(12:59):
he wants to get paid, he comes in and.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
The team wins.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Sometimes they both win because the guy holds out, he
gets some money he wants, the team is happy. Everybody wins.
This is a case where nobody wins because the Jets
don't win because Reddick's not gonna play. Because at this point,
even if he does come in. That's why I look
at this and I go, I hope this is just
a one day story because he's not been with the
team at all, no OTAs, no practices, no nothing. What
(13:25):
kind of player is he really gonna be this year?
He hasn't worked out, hasn't been in camp. It's two
weeks have gone by, one game down, two more to go.
What kind of player is he gonna be? If he
does try to rush his way back, he's just gonna
get hurt. That happens to every player that tries to
rush to get in shape and get on the field.
So he's not gonna have a great season no matter
what happens for the Jets.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
For him, he.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Wants to get paid. What's gonna happen? The Jets are
gonna make him sin or he rushes back in and
he gets hurt. Is he really gonna get paid next year?
He's not so the fact that nobody wins here because
he's not gonna play unless he gets a new deal. Meanwhile,
if he doesn't played this year, no one's gonna give
him a ton of money when he's thirty. No one
to give it to when he was twenty nine. No
one's gonna do it after a year away or a
bad year.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
So he's not. He doesn't win. Nobody wins. Yes, it's
not a winner here.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
See, I gave you the alternate universe Marvel spidering effect.
Aaron Rodgers comes out of Captain America for you here,
and he solves it by saying, let's rework some of
my moneys and we get this guy paid so we
can all go try to win. He gets a little
good will, they get their their pass rusher and good.
(14:30):
The other is you eventually figure out where that gap is,
like the forty nine ers are trying to do with
Ayuk and everything else, and then you don't have to
rush him back if it's six weeks, it's six weeks.
Rather have him for the stretch run because otherwise what's
gonna happen. He's gonna come back to report what is
a week ten, week eleven? So he's got just enough
(14:50):
weeks for his service time to count. Because that's the
other scenario that comes out of this. Right, Hey, he's back.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
And what is he? Yeah? I mean nobody wins.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Nobody wins, and the Jets look like amateurs again again
again Aaron Roddy. At some point he's gonna go, what
the hell was I doing here?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Man? What the hell was I doing here?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah? But see when you frame it like that, you're
trying to make him a sympathetic figure.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
He made a choice. Man who's feeling sorry for him?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Not me? Not you, Lieutenant Weinberg. Exit out, bout of Fresca,
Exit Swollen Dome. The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon,

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Live from the Tirack dot com studios. So I want
to tell you because I may curse.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
So it's we had to do this after a ten
o'clock Uh, you do not need to go see Trap.
You do not need to go see Trap. Yeah, you
gave me a quick rundown. We had one of our
colleagues come down from the other building. He wanted to
use the toaster and he walked in on it and
he goes.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yeah, I'm not gonna see it.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
So you just continued to tell me because I basically
decided until it's long on streaming, it's not one I'm
going to go to. That's what they should have called
the effort to get you into the movie. Hey trap,
Hey trap, you.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
That's a trap. Uh okay, let me just say this.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Uh I you know, when the movie ended, I turned
to my I'm no spoiler's no spoiler, and I'll tell
you a good thing first.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I'll tell you a good thing first.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Josh Hartnett was really good, Like I am surprised, like
he's going to get a lot of heat off. Josh
hart was it. Yes, he hit a lot of three.
He was in every second of the movie. They didn't
take him out.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
For at all. He was pretty tired at the end,
so they.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Caught him so tired, I can't run anymore. Uh. Tims
caught him with with the with with the the Turtle
Nick and Josh Harten.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
It was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Like, right, he's back and forth between being this you
know a dad and this crazy cah I mean, you see,
and I'm not ruined anything. It's all in the trailers
what the movie's about. And he's really good at it.
And he's going to get a lot of heat because
he was very good. And and the the actress, the
girl who played his daughter, also very good.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
They had really good chemistry. They were both really good.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
At the end of the movie, I turned to my
wife and I said, how does anybody green.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Light this one?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Because it's a really good concept, right, Like, here's a
serial killer that's at a concert and boy, it's you know,
they're they know they're gonna catch this the serial killer there.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
I said, I can't unders.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I don't understand how anybody says, yes, we're gonna pay
for this movie Ago, I wouldn't be surprised. And my
Chamelan is paying his own way for this. And I
find out sure enough, hey underwrites his movies. Oh well,
that makes sense how this gets approved. The script gets
approved because there's so many laughable moments in the movie
where you go that makes this makes absolute see in
(19:31):
that sense, but you're I don't even know how many
people have said it at this point. Like my daughter,
who you you've heard ends our phone conversations at time.
She'll give you details about every bit, right, everything that,
and remembers all these my mi new details of films,
TV shows, reality competition, whatever else. When when I said, hey,
(19:53):
how was it, her review was just no, it was
just no, and she shook her head.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
That was it. She didn't want talking about it anymore.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
And then I've had other people that said, exactly what
you did, uh, just the number of laughs when it's
not supposed to be a comedy. I'm like, what, this
makes no sense? But you want another positive part of
its part?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Hey, positive pair?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Hey, love your kids, love every one of your kids.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Like m.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Knight loves his daughter to try to make her recording
career happen because the entire movie she does, financing that
she does like eight songs, like her songs are the
entire movie, because you know, no spoilers, right, no, no, no,
the whole thing is the whole thing. This guy the trailers.
(20:42):
The guy goes to a concert with his daughter. Turns
out the concerts a trap to get the serial.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
What happened to the trailer spoiling everything for you?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
What do you mean it didn't spoil it the trailer? Well,
they should never have told you that the trailer. They
shouldn't have, but they did so on ago because of that.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Uh No, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I was gonna see it, I said. I said that
that was a supid way to have it. But like
the the Lady Raven who they go see in concert
is m Night's daughter, and like her songs, like the
entire movie is her songs.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Did she even has she even has a a at.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
The end, a really weird I'm not gonna give anything away,
a really weird unplugged acoustic song that she's able to
do because it's part of the plot.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I'm like, oh my se what just you know what?
Just pay for her to do an album and put
it out then if that's what.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
But like her song the entire like she's Lady Gaga,
like she's Taylor Swift, she's Katie Perry like in her
songs the entire movie, or her songs.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Love your Kid like he loves his kids.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
But it's the argument I made for Lebron when everybody
was getting all out of whack when they drafted Brownie.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
It's like, if you could make something happen, Lebron doing it. Lebron.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
So I told all the people in our business you can't.
You can't advocate for a friend, a friend's kid, your
kid for a job.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Ever again, just don't ask Lebron for a selfie. No,
you don't do that. He he almost knocked that kid out.
He hated him.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
The effort Lebron put in to get Bronny on the
Lakers looks like he was a dad that hadn't seen
his kid in twenty years compared to the effort and
night shemline goes through to help his daughter's career.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
USA Today from me, he's got he got outfit.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Wait wait, wait everything here, here's the uh, here's the
headlines the USA Today.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Come.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
How m Knight's trap became his daughter Seleka's purple rage.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Yeah, it's kind of what it is.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Let me schieve and then and the daughter knows all
the words to all the songs that you have no
idea of. Oh it's it's I'm like, this is wow,
this is really like I wonder if he is you
know what I have kind of a half idea for
a movie, because that's what it was. Kind of a
half idea for a movie. But I don't really care
anymore because I'm making movies for twenty years. I financed
my own stuff. I made six cents, I made Unbreakable.
I don't care anymore.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
So yeah, let's do this and we'll find a way
jump start your career. Here. It's a good thing. I
tapped out after a couple of those. Dude, I can't
what was it?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
The village?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Oh, I kind of like, kind of like that.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I kind of like it, and then I kind of
hated it. The more I can thought about it ben
a while since every visiting, but a lot of them
the recent Yeah, and then Unbreakable was good, was really good,
Signs was really good.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Those three movies. Watchers was really good.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I didn't see Watchers, and now after this, I'm probably
not going to see that unfortunately, No I'm not.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
I'm I think I'm done. What was the twist? What
did Anthony Davis not get nominated for an Austin and
Unbreakable Joel Embiid won it. That's how that.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Was the French version, So monsieur, Wait, how's it doing?
On rotten Tomatoes. I'm going probably rot fifty. That's awful.
That's awful coming up in ninety seconds. Meanwhile, Paratrap is
eighty seven. I will tell you, well, there's a reason
why I told you why because there's a reason and
why parent I'm not gonna spoil it, but the reason
(24:03):
why parent trap is trending alongside that. In ninety seconds,
I'll tell you what NFL team is in the era
of good feeling, there'll be a super Bowl threat for
the next ten years. It's not Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Who is it? We'll tell you, But first, Kevin Wired
has watched fred.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
That's probably not the Jets right now because Hassan Reddick
demanding a trade after the Jets just got him what
four or five months ago DJ Clearly we're in the
chronicles of Reddick now to find out when he hits
the field.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Is he a better actor than Vin Diesel.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Hey, that's a second year in a row, in which
I mean if Reddick is granted his trade request, that
the Jets would not get much production out of their acquisition.
Of course, Aaron Rodgers going down after what six snaps
last year?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
He will be back with score. But who's counting.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, four even less, so four snaps by Aaron Rodgers
Hassan Reddick gets traded. Not much out of that either,
but Jets general manager Joe Douglas is saying though that
they won't trade Reddick and they're gonna find him and
expect him to show it up and if he doesn't,
they'll continue finding him under the stipulations of the collective
of bargaining agreements. So we'll see how that turns out.
(25:13):
The Lions are another team people giving high hopes for,
but Jamir Gibbs hurting his hamstring in practice today, so
the word is is that he could be out a
little while. They're hoping maybe he can come back on
Week one, but not looking good for the Lions. Running
back in Major League Baseball, Blake Snell and the Giants
(25:34):
had a no hitter going until they didn't. The Braves
break it up in the seventh inning and Atlanta getting
as good, if not an even better start from Chris
Sale who went seven scoreless innings with thirteen strikeouts. Now
first part had twelve strikeouts and three hits allowed in
his start, but the Braves do win it in extra innings,
won nothing. Padre has beat the Pirates two to one
(25:56):
in a pitcher's duel. In San Diego, Diamondbacks that come
from behind win against the rock He's five to four.
Daughters get Mookie Betts back in the lineup, and he
makes an impact immediately, hitting a two run home run
for Los Angeles en route to a five to two
victory against the Milwaukee Brewers. So LA has both San
Diego and Arizona nipping at the heels. They are three
(26:16):
and a half games back of Los Angeles in the
NL West Al Central trying to take form here as
the Twins trying to keep pace with the Guardians. They
beat the Royals eight three, but the Guardians a big
back and forth victory against the Chicago Cubs, winning it
nine to eight as John Kenzie Noel hits two home
(26:37):
runs for Cleveland. Elsewhere, in Major League Baseball, Asters over
the race six to one. Red Sox beat the Rangers
in extra innings five to four, despite Corey Seekers game
tying home run in the seventh. The White Sox pound
the Yankees twelve to two. In the South Side of Chicago,
Blue Jays over the Angels four to two at the
Big A. Back to you guys, thank you, kay dub
(26:59):
So I'm gonna make you feel great. Mike Carmon, are
you sure a couple of years ago when Joe Burrow
proved he was.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
The real thing?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Hey, I said, Cincinnati Bengals fans, your suffering is over.
You are in the era of good feeling for the
next decade. You will be a super Bowl threat for
the next decade because Joe Burrow is that good. And
now Shady's back, yes, and obviously being healthiest back again.
But you will be a yearly super Bowl threat because
(27:27):
Joe Burrow is that guy. And I'll tell you this,
Chicago Bears, you are in the era of good feeling
because for the first time ever you have a quarterback.
You will be a yearly super Bowl threat for the
next decade.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Because of calebod Is that what you're doing to me? Now,
I'm not doing this to you, buddy. I'm talking.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I'm telling you, buddy, it's not just because oh wow,
he played one game for the Bears. This is a
guy who remembers had an incredible collegiate career and goes
number one overall and number one overall and has never
threatened usually guys that, Hey, you'll be the number one
pick in the draft. They're threatened at some point, but
yet there was never any conversation that anyone other than.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Williams was going to be the number one pick.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Whenever he went to the NFL would have been the
number one pick two years ago, number one pick. Now,
as good as Jayden Daniel was Heisman Trophy, he goes second, right,
everybody else goes behind him. Caleb Williams is that good.
And he has come in and in a very short
amount of time has done a lot of things right.
And it's great. You know the story from last week
that oh, hey he told the veterans, hey, we got
(28:32):
to make sure stuff is clean. That's great, that's a
nice little story. But the fact that he has come
in and you watch him play a little bit in
Game one, and you can see where his talent lies
and how he stepped in like this was week seven
of a regular season. Not only does he make the
(28:54):
right decisions, there's no panic. He throws short when he
has to, he dumps it off when he has to.
He throws on the run better than anybody. And I
can't understand why teams don't do that for quarterbacks that
throw well on the run. Why they don't put more
stuff in the playbook for Hey, we're going to have
a designed run and we're going to throw either back
(29:16):
to the middle of the field or something else.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
When a quarterback throws.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Good on the run, hey you got to take advantage
like Mark Sanchez did that great. And I never understand
why the Jets, well they're the Jets, why they didn't
take advantage of that. Well, that was one of the
biggest criticisms of the last regime in Chicago. It gets
he didn't do with Justin Fields, Who's guess what. That
was one of his biggest traits do. But when he
held onto the ball, he throws so well on the run,
and you saw it in the first preseason game. And
(29:42):
when you see the players talk about him, what they
say about him, how good he is, what he's shown
them in practice so far, there was none of that
with Justin Fields or Rex Grozman or any quarterback of
the last twenty years. Oh, Justin's doing this, he's looking good.
But this overwhelmingly is we know we got the guy.
We got the guy. He's gonna take over the NFL.
(30:03):
People aren't ready at how good he's going to be
not just because well, here's Kayleb Williams. He's gonna elevate everybody.
Caleb Williams is showing up with weapons everywhere. You know,
he's like John Wick. I'm walking into a room that's
filled with knives. I'm gonna kill everybody, right, I'm going
to do He walks in and here's DeAndre Swift and
it looks like Khalil Herbert is gonna get a lot
(30:23):
of run this year. So you're solid at running back.
You have two terrific wide receivers. DJ Moore is a
top five wide receiver. Romo Donze was a first round
pick that already he's got some kind of rapport with.
You have a great tight ending comet, you have a
great team. You have a great team. You are loaded
on offense, and he is that good. Watching him the
last two years, you knew every few years there's a
(30:44):
number one pick that steps in that's just okay. He's
a little bit further ahead than everybody else, right Burrow.
Then he get a couple of years and now we
have it here with Kayleb Williams. He is that good
and the Bears are a super Bowl threat for the
next decade.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
You just sit back and enjoy.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
It because not just doesn't mean every year going to
the super Bowl, but every year is going to be. Hey,
Bears could get to the super Bowl. That this could be.
They're gonna be favored to be a team that can
win the NFC North. They're gonna be favored as a
team that can go deep into the playoffs because you
have Caleb Williams.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
He is the guy.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
As we sit here today, last I looked at it
was still forty to one for Super Bowl odds.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
If you want to go down that road, you.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Forgot Rosehawan Johnson and Keenan Allen will just round out
all of the skill position players. He had a top
ten defense once Montes Sweat showed up and that eber
Flues took over the defense. And now it just comes
down to what is Waldron What is he able to
coax out of out of Williams? You know, making sure
that you keep your progressions, keep your eyes downfield. That
(31:42):
was the thing that you love to see is that
as he did roll out, eyes are up and watching
the play develop, watching the receivers. In one of the drops,
Cole Kmet it looked like he was fully expecting Williams
to take off and run and then turn back and
while the ball hit him in the.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Hand, still got to catch it.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
But it's that kind of thing, just the little little
things that in communication that will get better over time.
But yeah, truly encouraged. And in Chicago they're they're doing backflips.
I mean, there's no question about it that you're looking
at an age of excitement and with all those skilled
position players. And that's not to take anything in and
(32:21):
not put blame on the quarterbacks of the past. They
didn't run with offenses that look like this, right, they
didn't run with this many weapons and with Keenan Allen,
you know my fears of the soldier field, turf and
long term availability. Just get them along. Roma Dunsa gonna
be a beast. Cole Comet two years ago, had his
(32:43):
drop issues, had his odd ball security issues. He's seemingly
gotten past that, even though I just highlighted a big drop.
But Williams fluidity, his ability to move out of the pocket,
get on the run, and then now they're doing the
slipping slide drill, So get really good at that and
avoiding hits there because there's the biggest thing to underscore
(33:05):
at all. It's all good avoid avoid the big here.
But that's the thing is that, Yes, keeping him healthy,
that's always a thing, but it's with him being smart. Yeah,
and in his college career we saw that. And he's
also got a much better defense than he ever played
behind h You got no problems, man, I'm telling you,
you have no problems. It's it's going to be just
(33:25):
curse me. It's going to be all you just smile.
It's going to be an awesome year and it's going
to be out of the gate. The Bears are going
to be good and they're going to be a huge story.
Want to go see him in Arizona? Telling you, I'm
already looking at the schedule.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
What what what?
Speaker 1 (33:40):
What's the what's the temperature gonna be? It's gonna bee
hundred and five degrees? I'm not gonna go no, no, no,
it's not till November one hundred and two degrees.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Yeah, let's go island.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I'll buy you water Soft eight ninety and Staten Island
is not one hundred and five.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
All right, how about a road trip up to Santa
Clara again?
Speaker 1 (33:58):
What is it gonna be one hundred and five degrees
in those see eighth one hundred and two degrees.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Jason, do you know you have the best wading through
the heat. What's the best way.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Is to invest in a big air conditioning full circle,
have it on your back as you walk down the street.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Now, that's how it works. If you guys want to
make it to December, a if you better break here. Hey,
if we make it to December.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
We go from a team who's got no problems to
a team who all of a sudden has a big
one in the NFL. They're thinking super Bowl? But are
they still after today?
Speaker 3 (34:28):
That's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Are we gonna play.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
This song until we hear Nicholas Cage? Yeah? What Alex
ty it likes to do all the time.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
He's got his finger on the button that please Nikola.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
live fromthatirack dot com studios. So the era of good
feeling is here for the Bears, Mayors Super Bowl threat
for a decade. Caleb Williams is him. He is the
real thing. And now the flip side of it, another
team that we thought, hey, they got super Bowl dreams
(35:18):
this year, the Detroit Lions, maybe without Junior Gibbs, their
star running back.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
For a while.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Gibbs goes down in practice today with a hamstring injury.
Now it's not known the severity, but according to reports,
it seemed like it was a pretty severe one.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Right now they are thinking. The thinking is hopefully.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
He can come back for Week one, but the Lions
won't know until tomorrow. And this is where I say,
you know, if it's if it's a significant hamstring injury,
but I ain't come back for week one. I just
have to be realistic. When's the last time somebody in
training camp for at any point in the season had
(36:01):
a hamstring, calf, or groin strain or injury of some
kind A serious one is because somewhat seriously kept them
out for a few weeks and they got over it
and came back and had a normal year. Doesn't happen
they're dogged by that injury all season long because all
that helps that is rest and stretching in different regiments
and everything else that goes along with how do you
(36:23):
rehab that kind of injury, and that injury is not
the same until you go back and play next year.
So no matter what it is, hopefully it's Jremior goes, oh, hey,
guess what we got lucky and it's just a he's
only going to be out for a week come back, Okay, great,
But if this is something where he's out four weeks
and he is ready to and they're hoping he comes
back week one, Every injury like this for a player,
(36:45):
especially at running back, is the same. They'll come back
for a week or two, but then they're out for
a couple of weeks and they'll come back for a week,
they're out for two weeks, they come back for two weeks,
they're out for a week, they come back again, they're
out for three That's just how it goes with injury
like this. Because he had issues back in OTAs right
going back, we had some of those reports, so questioning reaggravation.
(37:06):
Is there something else going on again, until we get
through the medicals, we won't know, but short term highly concerning.
Now you know me, I'm a big David Montgomery guy,
but much different running style, right, Bludgeing you between the tackles,
work short yardage goal line doesn't mean he doesn't have
some burst and can't give you that. But at this point,
(37:26):
the goal in bringing him back with Gibbs was you
got to, you know, pull the strings as an offensive wizard.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Right.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
He came back for another run, you know, your coordinator,
for another run with this squad, and this is.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
A big chess piece that goes off the board because.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Behind him, what are you looking at? Reynolds and some
other players. He's the biggest chess piece. But I'm on
Ross Saint Brown. Yeah, but you have other weapons there
that you can throw the football to. Sam Laporte is
a pretty good tight end, right.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Well, Williams started to come on last year.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
You miss Gibbs and all of a sudden, You're running
game is very pedestrian because David Montgomery doesn't scare anybody.
But as part of this backfield, hey, he is very
effective being that between the tackles guy. And obviously Gibbs
would get a little bit more responsibility this year, second
year in the lead. They brought him along slowly last year,
which is the right thing because he was still playing
at a high level in the playoffs when generally it's okay,
(38:18):
by week eleven, I've hit the rookie one.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Yeah, I mean you're not giving him twenty five touches
a game. You don't need to, but you are. You are.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
He's the one guy you can't lose if you're the Lions.
And if he's out of this is some kind of
an injury that keeps him out a few weeks, Like
I'll take the Lions out of my Hey can how far.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Can they get? Yeah, maybe they can. They can squeak
out a playoff.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Bert, Well, you're already afraid of JJ McCarthy and you
just crowned Caleb Williams so and Jordan Love in the Packers.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
I mean, you're.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Already looking fan of fourth place. Finished talking about the
most fairly you were just trying to piss off here family.
He was the most dynamic running back to end of
the league last year, and without him, that's a tough thing. Man,
that's really tough to get past. Say no, no, we're good, No,
you're not really good. Montgomery is okay. He's an okay guy.
He's a jet and sends you back to the board
(39:08):
as a coordinator, and you're also looking around going all right,
what kind of assets do we have and who may
shake free or where's there a potentially disgruntled running back
who can do some of the same things Gibbs does.
If he's out for that time, even if he can
come back early in the season, you know that's the
year for him. And if that's the kind of year
(39:29):
he has, that's a difficult year for the line.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
There. You're you're always, you're all all, you're.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Already sorry, you're already trying to get back, and you'll
be playing the NFC championship game every single week because
you're like, boy, we were that close, and we were
that close and we just missed it. So not only
do you have that big mountain climb that seems so large,
you're dealing without a guy like remember how important he
was down the stretched in the playoffs. He was their
best player, he was their best player.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
He was electric.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
And now this is a huge injury, and everybody's got
their fingers crossed, prayer circles all online, everybody. I hope,
I hope he's great, because he's a great player, and
you want great players to play in the league. But
if this is an injury keeps him out, man, that's
gonna scratch lines from contenttion.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
What do you think the camera on Ben Johnson was
when the news hit.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
I gotta rip up my playbook exit out about a
Fresca exit swollen down The Jason Smith Show with my
best friend Mike Harmon. Coming up next, my buddy Ben Maltow.
