Speaker 1 (00:29):

(00:52):
Globetrotters dot com. Well define reason and expectation. We have
a game on Thursday night football. Yeah, we do, between
the Seahawks and the Cardinals. I mean we have a game.
I mean, hey, we actually have a close game. Despite
the fact that feels like the Cardinals should be losing
this game by five touchdowns. Yeah, they are creeping up
(01:14):
on the two minute warning and the Cardinals have the football.
It's gonna be third and about ten. Following Kyler murray sack,
the Cardinals just converted a fourth down where this is.
The level of difficulty of this catch is insane. I
really hope we get to see it. Kyler Murray on
fourth and four throws the ball in the flat to
(01:36):
Michael Wilson, and he throws it a little early because
the ball is in the air. And this is not
one of those when you see a guy run a
dig or a deep out and the ball is in
the air and he comes back to it. This is
a quick pass in the flat for four yards. The
ball is in the air and Wilson hasn't even turned
(01:56):
around yet, and it's one of those it's a whistling
ball and you're like, oh wow, this is never gonna happen.
And Wilson just turns his head around at the last
second and sticks his right arm up and catches the pass.
Like I can't tell you how difficult of a catch
that is. When the ball is in the air this
close to the line of scrimmage and you find it
(02:18):
within an instant. You turn around and luckily it's right
there because it was right over his head because he
wasn't he wasn't moving anywhere to get this, and it
looks like he just had stick him on his hand
and it just catches it with one hand and converts
the first down on fourth and four. So Card was
continuing to move the football. Yeah, I mean there's stick
them involved. There's no question. Those gloves are like Spider Man,
(02:40):
Spider tack spider Man. Yeah, I mean, everything just sticks
to it. What are you? What are you gonna do?
But got to get the ball out fast, right.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
It's a timing, timing route, maybe a little more heat
on it and less touched than Murray would have wanted to,
but through it to where only his receiver could make
a play. And then will And made the catch and
proceeded to start jawing. And you saw the official immediately
over because we don't need any uh, you know, jaw
jacking with between guys and taunting and already been called
(03:10):
at least once in this game. So first down, and
now we'll see what we've got with the third down
play coming up at the two minute warning.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I read the balls in the air and the flat
and he just turns around and sticks his hand up
and makes catch. He's got two catches ten yards. That's
a big deal. I mean, that was that was really something.
So again, we'll continue to have more on this game.
The Cardinals down by a touchdown two minutes ago in
the fourth quarter. They have the ball third and nine
at the seahawks forty five yard line. Doesn't matter if
it's a great game. Just matters that it's close, right,
(03:40):
Just matters that it's close. That's right, it's close late
with an opportunity for the time.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Man.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Come on.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Oh yeah, and Zia may don't even need the drama
of the two point gull show. No, no, hopefully we
get it. And I hope so, because do you really
want I want overtime?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You want it? Well, I mean for fantasy purposes, Sure, okay,
I could. I could go for finally, Jackson Smith and
the jigbe Is catching pass. He's got about ten fantasy points. No,
I could go for more fantasy points from some of
these guys. Sure I could. I could suck it up
and and go and and deal with overtime from this
craptastic game. I've never gonna more football. Yeah, and they
get to get free. We only get to seventy two. Yeah,
(04:15):
you know, but sometimes to seventy two, I could say,
you know, I really don't need the I really don't
need to seventy two. The Jets have all like they
they all their games are two fifty through two seventy
two like that, that's how it goes. Yeah, but you
don't need all to seventy two. You can go it
out there seventeen. You just wait until Monday night when
it's jute. Oh doubleheader.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Let's go the worst Monday.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Night football game in a decade. Another face, Spike. You
know we'll get to Tua because if you want to
know why, you want to know why. Yeah, yeah, you
want to know why. Tua has has has continues to
underachieve and and not hit his ceiling and has everything
to do with what he said today when he was
asked about what's going on with with uh with criticism
of him. Uh So. Marvin Harrison Junior makes a catch
(05:00):
first down for the Cardinals. He has hit the over
for forty six and a half yards. The over last night,
I said, Marvin Harrison's got the over. It doesn't matter
that you sweated it out. Try and not sweated at all.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Count god, sixty minutes plus because why from forty eight
and a score?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
What did I tell you last night? What are you from?
Marvin Harrison Junior in DraftKings Right, I gave you over
forty six and a half yards and a touchdown. Over
forty six and a half yards and a touchdown. You're welcome.
You're welcome. Look at that victory. Awesome. I feel so
great about that. I feel so awes touched. That was
plus one eighty five. Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you man,
I'm hot. I'm hot. I'm hot. I got them both.
(05:38):
I'm hot. So a couple of big stories out of
the NFL today and a quarterback wise. First of all,
Justin Field is back at Jets practice. Yay, not cleared yet,
but he's cleared to practice. Aaron Glenn said that, yeah, okay,
as long as he gets cleared, he's the starter. He's
a little cryptic earlier in the week where hey, if
he's healthy and comes back, does he get to start?
(05:59):
Because to Rod Taylor was actually pretty good except for
that awful game ceiling pick. Sixty at the first half.
He was not bad. But Justin Fields is yet. I look,
they gave him thirty million dollars guaranteed he's got the
job for this year. Okay. And before you sit here
and I think, oh, this is where I am right
now with this team again, remember Monday night Jets and
(06:20):
the Dolphins. Oh and three and oh and three. Oh,
try to make that fun. Uh, this is the worst
part to me right now. Look, Justin Fields is who
he is, right, You've gotten the Justin Fields experience the
first two weeks when things go really right, boy, he
looks like a machine running the football. When he can
hit his first reads, he's something right, he can really achieve.
But then you get games like Week two against the
(06:41):
Bills where he completes three passes and three and a
half quarters three passes right and and the Justin Fields
experience was on display in one three play stretch where
he ran for thirty yards on a big second down
and then miss two wide open wide receivers on second
down and third down and the Jets had to punt.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That's Justin Fields, That's just who he is. But this
is what gets me right because this is on you
want to use something you didn't know. Because I'm sitting
here looking going all right, zero and three, and I
keep reading about how a lot of Jets insiders and
insiders saying, man, the Jets, you know, the Jets Dolphins game,
both these teams really need to win, blah blah blah.
The schedule coming up. And I'm like, you know, I
(07:18):
understand the Jets schedule is pretty favorable the rest of
the way, right, it's pretty favorable. It doesn't matter because
they stink and they'll find a way. No, But this
is what upsets me is that the Jets right now,
the rest of the season, they are tied to the Patriots.
They each have the easiest schedule in the NFL the
rest of the season through three weeks now, many things
(07:39):
have changed, right, The Falcons are terrible, the Panthers all
these stuff. We know, all these teams that we thought
were gonna be good or terrible. The Jets and the
Patriots have the easiest schedule left the rest of the
regular season. Rams have the toughest. And clearly, yeah they
another big one this Sunday gonna be hard to go.
They get Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis Colts. So yeah,
but the Rams are really good foot team. This is
(08:01):
what gets me is that I'm gonna watch the Jets
completely and totally suck and they're gonna wind up with
the easiest schedule in the NFL. And that's gonna be
the big through line. Hey, the Jets, you know, looking
for a quarterback, whether it's Garrett ul Smeyer or Leonora
Sellers or whoever it is. Hey, here, the Jets at
three and fourteen couldn't take advantage of the easiest schedule
in the NFL. Like that's my life, that's I couldn't
(08:22):
take advantage of the easiest schedule in the league. Well,
what's great about it?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I mean, and you add the fact to thirty thirty
one thirty two Buffalo Jets, New England.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
But for your squad, which culture wins out?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Let's go always that culture question for both of those
squads coming in Vrabel versus Aaron Glenn. Who's gonna win
that race to rebuild from the ground up? But yeah,
you're not running away and hiding. I mean, you've got opportunity.
You're only four games that are on the plus side,
or two against Buffalo, one against No you got one
(08:59):
to left with Buffle low with the The Bengals are
still on the plus side, at least for the moment,
because they're two and one and the Jaguars. Things you
didn't think you'd see in terms of how you separate
way that what's good and bad on that schedule, did you?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I Bengals and the Jaguars, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Are in the plus.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Things change so fast, right, they changed absolutely so fast
in the NFL. And now I'm like, great, we're gonna
be you know, O and six and seven, And how
do you not take advantage of this incredibly easy schedule?
Like that's the word. I can't just say, hey, we suck,
we're oh and six. It's a really hard schedule, because
schedule has been pretty hard so far. But the rest
of the season is really really it really likes. I
(09:39):
think the winning percentage of the rest of their teams
is three seventy five, three fifty seven. It's yeah, it's
really that's gonna be the worst part is that they're
playing terrible teams and they're gonna lose, and they're gonna.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Lose the bottom of five, you know, because it allows
us to bring in our man, Sir Frostburgh at four
twenty nine. Uh, that's the winning percentage of teams the
Chargers are gonna play. Then you've got the New Orleans Saints,
not that it's gonna help them any and then Buffalo
the Jets in New England.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
So again, just understand that that's how bad things are
right now. Meanwhile, speaking of bad, well they're bad for
the Seahawks because they should be embarrassed that this is
where the game is now. They call a timeout on
the cardinals last drive to leave some time on the clock.
As the Cardinals were just motoring down the field, a
Mary Demricado out of it, not Trey Benson. Demricado out
(10:30):
of the backfield, catches a touchdown pass the extra point
is good for the Cardinals. This game is tied at
twenty a piece with thirty seconds to go in the
fourth quarter. The Seahawks called that time out ostensibly so
they're gonna try to get the ball down the field
here and see if they can try to win this
game with the last second field goal. But Marvin Harrison
(10:51):
Juniors come alive, Kyler Murray's come alive here. Harrison's got
five catches for sixty yards and a touchdown in the
second six for sixty six. It is a all of
a sudden, it is a it's a pretty big deal
for Harrison and Kyler Murray after absolutely abysmal first half unblown.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Well yeah, Kyler Murray up to two hundred yards, two touchdowns,
two picks, plus forty one rushing yards and a.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Mistake was made. Oh my goodness, it hit outside the
twenty yard Oh fire. This is Cardinals football. So the
kickoff lands outside the twenty yard line, right. They tried
to like pooch it so it would just be a
little bit of the Seahawks trying to either down it
or not get a great return. But they missed the
(11:40):
landing zone, which is twenty yards long and fifty three
yards wide. The ball lands outside the twenty yard line,
so it's a flag. And now the Seahawks, with twenty
eight seconds left to go, have the ball first and
ten at their own forty yard line. I mean, this
is this is that's a missa.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
This is like what was it?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Which Super Bowl was it? With the Patriots in the
uh the Panthers two thousand and four? Where the uh
the the Panthers tied the game up late and John
Casey kicked it out of bounds with like a minute
left to go. It's like, how do you kick get
out of bounds and give him the ball to forty
yard light? Like all you have to do is land
it and you have a hit at a very wide birth.
(12:22):
That's like me when I when I play golf sometimes
and I go, Okay, I know I gotta go over water,
but I just got to land it. The green is huge,
It's only one hundred and twenty yards away. I have
so much room. I just can't hit in the water,
and I wind up hitting it in the water. But
like this is I mean, it's twenty yards long and
fifty yards wide, fifty three yards wide and you and
you kick it and you and it lands outside the
twenty and Jackson Smith and the Jigma just catches a
(12:44):
big pass, but he did not get out of bounds.
So the Seahawks are gonna have to call their call
a time out with twelve seconds left to go. They
have the ball near field goal range. Was about a
twenty yard catch by Smith and the Jigba. I don't
think he got out of bounds. He tried to, but
he didn't. Watching the replay right now was just a
(13:05):
back shoulder fade and he tries to get out. Nope,
he's tackled in bounds. That's a good call, So time
out by the Seahawks. But they are in i would say,
really periphery field goal range at the ball about the
forty three yard line. So they still have twelve seconds
left to go. So right now, worse comes to worse.
It's a sixty yard field goal for the Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Now Myers missed a fifty three yard or earlier tonight
before his career. He is a sixty seven percent field
goal kicker from fifty plus thirty four of sixty six
in his career.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
And the closer you get to Halloween, the better, Jason
Myers is. Now, that's right. You' around me? Yeah, that's well. So, yes,
they're looking to get to a spirit of the Halloween today?
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Is that why?
Speaker 5 (13:49):
You?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Actually, I'm sorry, the uh spirit Halloween. I'm waiting for them.
I'm waiting for the big you know, all the big
Major league ballparks that are closing with the spirit Halloween go.
I'm waiting for all that.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Now, they look at this on replay and they reviewed
it and Smith the Jigba did get out of bound,
so they gave fun but didn't go down. They gave
the Seahawks attack. Now he came down, looks like came
down right on the line, but they gave him it
out of bound. So they put eighteen seconds back on
the clock and the Seahawks still have their final time out.
(14:26):
What an awful What an awful execution kick off? I mean,
this is the second Monday out of four weeks where
where bad execution kicking off on a Monday Night's gonna
call a Thursday night. It's gonna cost team a game, right,
Like they could cost the Bears the game. Yeah, the
first Monday night game. Thanks, sorry about that, buddy, And
now they could wind up costing the Cardinals the game
their defense sucking also out didn't Yeah, but still, I mean,
(14:48):
when you there's twenty eight seconds left to go, every
second is absolutely precious, right, and so you gotta be
able to say all right, because who knows, like, yeah,
the Seks are gonna try to go for it, but
with their one time out out, No, that's it. The
fourth quarter is going to end now, no time comes
off the clock, and it's at the forty yard line.
They give you, you give up twenty yards like like
(15:08):
Ryland just I'm and easily it was. It's not like
you could say, oh no, this lanted like the twenty
one and a half yard line. I get the theory.
You got a lot of room to work with that theory.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Man.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
No, yeah, that is a very wide swath of grass.
That is a really, really difficult thing to see right there.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Man.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
So right now, Seahawks at the thirty eight yard line. Uh,
they run Sharbon Day, who gets about two or three yards.
It's second down. It looks like the Seahawks are going
to use their final timeout and Myers is gonna come
out for a field goal with about three seconds left
to go. Time out on the field. So it's Jason
(15:49):
Myers to win this game for the Seahawks. And wow,
the questions for the Cardinals are going to be immense
if this field goal goes.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Oh there's so many hey, there's so many issues that
have gone on over the course of this game, right,
and obviously a frenetic finish, fourteen points in the fourth quarter,
some big plays made by Kyler Murray, Marvin Harrison Junior
coming alive as we've talked about, and taking full advantage
of perhaps some of the conservative side for Seattle. If
(16:20):
you want to go down that route, but you did
everything to make it a game. You draw it to
even and that's the result. You give up twenty yards
of field position because you can't hit the landing zone.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
So here comes Jason Myers, a fifty two yard field
goal that would win the game for the Seahawks. After
that horrible kickoff, the kick is good. The Seahawks win
it twenty three to twenty. Kyler Murray Marvin Harrison Junior
can't believe what they just saw. The Seahawks escape and
(16:55):
moved to three and one. Absolutely insane. Hey, we got
Jay Blazer stopping by coming up. He's gonna talk about this.
We break down this special team's failure by the Cardinals
that give the Seahawks the twenty three to twenty win.

The Seahawks take advantage of a big special team's gaff
by the Cardinals. Ryland's kickoff lands outside the kicking zone,
(19:32):
so with twenty eight seconds left to go in a
tie game, the Seahawks take over at their own forty.
A big back shoulder fade to Jackson Smith the jig
but puts the Seahawks in field goal range, and Jason
Myers wins it from fifty two yards out, joining us
now to break it all down, Enlofl on Fox Insider Extraordinary,
Jay Glazer, Jay Happy Thursday. Man, how's it going?
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Uh doing? Grabtmy Who thought we'd be talking about kickers
so much in this game like this? Because Myers obviously
missed the first one and an the Cardinals kicker kind
of botches that kickoff and Meyer comes up big there.
But man, what a what a game? And this is
I didn't know that until today. John Schneider told me
if they won, it's his one hundred and fiftieth victory
(20:14):
because he joined the Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Wow there you go, Wow, nugget there, that's pretty We
saw that ISO of him during the game. Jay, It's
like he had nobody around him. It's like he didn't want.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
To be But that's not.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
You know, the thing that gets me Jay in this
is that obviously coming into this season, hey was Sam
Darnold's still going to be good? Changing teams? Did he
find the right offense in Minnesota? And I just can't
get over how he has fit in, how accurate he
is with the football, his how how confident he is,
Like I didn't think he would step right in, and
he has become an extremely solid quarterback for a team
(20:51):
that's just solid all around.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
And look, Cameral Collins deserves a ton of credit for that.
But also sots Kyle Shanahan, Like Kyle, you know, you
look at what you know he do, and look with
like Kyle doing with Mac Jones right now, right and
he just get the ball out of those guys hands
so much quicker and teaching them to do that. And also, guys,
look at Baker Mayfield right now. Baker worked with Sam
McVay and all of a sudden he became a different
kind of guy. So I think when you get with
(21:14):
these quarterback developers and you know you have there's one
thing about his coaches who can call plays, and there's
another thing about coaches who could develop quarterbacks. There's not
too many of them in the league, Sean mcvay's one,
Kyle Shanahan's one, Kevin O'Connell is one. But yeah, you
kind of looked at you know, Sam, and you're like, oh,
I was just this a product of because Kevin O'Connell's
(21:37):
so good at what he does and Sam Baker, Sam,
Sam Baker, Dam Donald showing that. No, he kind of
he I think the page and the light, the page changed,
the light went on when he was with Kyle, and
he just took it round with it and learned an
awful lot with Trevin O'Connell. And I don't think he's
any looking.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Back truly, just about excising bits of the jets that
are in yet over time, Jay is really and I
think it comes down here.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Yeah I'm sorry, but if you put it you're a
Geno Smith or you're Sam Donald, it's like, yeah, sorry, bit.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
By bit, you slumped it off with every stop.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
On the other side, I think as a collective NFL community,
we were all wondering when we were going to see
Marvin Harrison make a catchy himself and then second half.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
How emotional was that touch down? You're left, oh my gosh,
please because you like you feel for it. Listen, I
talk so much guys right about the six inches between
our ears, and I talk about the mental health, and
I talk about in performance, I talk how you get
the most out of people. But also when there's a
hip hop in those six inches between your ears, it's
so hard for guys to be able to put it
(22:41):
aside and get through it. You know, you've got to
be emotional to play this game to a certain extent.
But man, those emotions can help you, and they can
really get in your way. And it seemed like the
first couple of weeks they're you know, just getting his way.
Just he was. You saw a couple of times today,
a couple of plays where he was just either you
are on the wrong route or he just stopped, or
(23:03):
it just didn't seem like he was all kind of
there of like man, one of my he wasn't sure right.
And I don't know what what led to it, whether
that's other shore it was just down himself or I
saw a combination of both. And to see and test
that touchdown and mean, you know, you saw the emotions.
He just went down on one knee. He's like almost
(23:23):
like yeah, thank you God. It's it's like a baseball
player with the yips, and it's like, you get over it,
because after that, they kept going to him and credit
to them. They're like, Okay, hey, we're gonna keep going
and now we saw that. Now we're gonna keep feeding
your feeding your feedia and it's two of the big
catches after that.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
You know, it's funny. I see that and hear you're
talking about and I think back to your bit on
NFL on Fox Sunday about your stuff with Drew Brees
about how trying to be great is really lonely. You
talk about the six inches between your between your ears.
It's really lonely up there.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Yeah, listen, the I always tell my guys man the
blueprint for greatness, and to see it, it's really not
a secret. Finally, who's the best isn't do more than them.
But see, it's the hours you put in the work
that no one's watching. That's really what it is, right,
And a lot of guys will do the work when
you know camera's office that but it's those hours and
hours and hours and you know, yeah, that true briest
(24:16):
thing guys is incredible because and for people who didn't
see it you have go to retail a story here.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, go ahead, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Okay, people didn't see it. So Sean Payton and I
are down in New Orleans on a Friday night. It's
like nine thirty at nine forty five at night, something
like that, and Sean forgotten something back of the office,
so he's like, oh, we gotta go back in the office.
I thought it was forty five minutes away. Sean and
I are ineborated, so it seemed like forty five minutes,
I guess. But people are like, it's not forty five,
(24:45):
it's twenty five. I'm like, all right, Twitter, shut the
hell up. Whatever it's you know. The opponents story is
we showed up to the Santry Soude around ten o'clock
at night. Now mind you, everyone else was gone that day,
but probably two two thirty something like that. They have
a quick practice in the morning, lunch and guys are gone.
Tuesday at ten o'clock. He didn't know we were coming back,
(25:06):
and we come in the building. There's one light on
its the tight ends room wasn't even the quarterback room
tight ends room, and there's jew shipping himself watching film,
taking all these notes, and I'm like dude, what are
you doing here? And he just looks up me and
he kind of shruggs and he goes sometimes trying to
be great is lonely. And I'm like, dude, I'm so
stealing that from you. I have. I wrote about it
(25:27):
and breaka little facts actually, but yes, it's those hours
and hours and hours so when the bad times do
hit you, you're able to fall back on your training,
you know, whenever people go through slumps or whatever things
you're certing, like, you know, inside a cage, we're always
telling guys like, man, things aren't going well, Just man,
(25:48):
just fall back on your training. You've already done this,
We've already done the work. Just lean into it. And
that's where you know a guy like Marvin Harrison, I
know he works, but man, again, the power that exchanges
between your ears when it gets in the way, they
can get in the way of a lot. Well.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
One of the big tests we'll see this week. Week four,
Brian Dable makes the change. Jackson Dark gonna get the
start for the Giants. Uh, tough task right away against
these Los Angeles Chargers come in three and uh.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Sure certainly I was like I was, like I thought
you liked Jackson dark.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Well Jay after the Saints, he's got you know, he's
got the Eagles twice. Is there's not a real set
out of there, No.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
No, but but you know, look obviously they are looking
at go who's gonna give us the biggest I think
the biggest chance for consistency. One thing Russell does not
give you a consistency. And you know what, here's what
happened to Russell on Pittsburgh. He was doing fine when
he was listening to what you know, Arthur Smith wanted
him to do. And then I think Russell bought into
(26:52):
his headlines and he all of a sudden wanted to
let Russ cook and like, don't let Russ cook. Man,
just just do what they asked. Don't do anything else
but that. And he wants to let Russ cook. And
you know, he has a lot of people over the years,
him and his crew, and man, they get a lot
of media people to buy into all stuff and let
(27:13):
Russ cook and oh he has never gotten an MVP
vote and all that garbage and just do what the
coaches want. And it worked last year with Pittsburgh. It
was fine until he decided not to until he wanted
to do more, and I'm guaranteed it's going on with
the Giants too, Like he worked well against Dallas and
all of a sudden he's like, all right, nope, I'm
(27:35):
gonna show what I can do. You don't have you
show what you could do by doing what they want?
And that's it. And yeah, I listen. If you can't
make it work with uh Sean Payton, fight Tomlin, Art Smith,
find a ball? Who else I missing there? But and
(27:56):
obviously the NP Carroll. I think Ruff needs to look
at it and go. He needs to look inside himself
and go, Okay, how was I the problem? Like you
have all these coaches oh and before chaump Payton, but
you got to look inside yourself and go, where was
I the issue? Because there's four different places now will
(28:18):
last four? I have not succeeded. So if I want to,
I want to do well, I've got a really self
scout and go where could I change? He has the
work that I think he could do it, but he
needs to, you know, I think, take a harsh look
at himself and go everything I've done the past when
I was successful early that was a different Russell Wilson,
(28:39):
So what hasn't worked here that I keep doing, and
can I check my ego to make sure that I
can make those changes. I don't see it happening because
I don't think Russ looks at it like he's the issue.
But I don't know if it was me, man, if
I couldn't get a go in, there was on Peyton
(29:00):
and my gobblin and now Bryan and Dave all, I've
got to look inside myself and go, Okay, it can't
be those three guys. But you know what I mean,
it can't be everybody else. It can't always be everybody else.
And that's also part of being a pro. Is hey,
when I'm the issue, how do I get out of this?
(29:20):
What do I do? How do I work out of this?
How do I work myself out of it? So I was, yeah,
there's other stuff there also again what's rough? So it's
kind of like, you know, I'm sure they didn't want
Jackson yet, which is heart scheduled coming up. But also, hey, man, listen,
justin Herbert's first game ever, he had twenty seconds ago
(29:42):
and he's playing the Chiefs and they're like, hey, Tyra
Taylor pumptsur it along with an injection, go in. Huh,
you're in and it's worked out okay for him.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Hey, lastly, Jay, I know how much you're on top
of and I you know you've talked about your life
is an inside everything you do. But I gotta did
you know that Seawn Alexander was gonna have his fourteenth kid,
him and his wife, Like, okay, when I heard that
tasting he's got gonna have fourteen kids. I can't get
over that.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
There were so many things I can say right now,
and you know what, I don't want to be that inside.
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
He's on Twitter, Jae Glazer, that is at Jay Lazer
NFL on Fox You on.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Sunday when there's like a seven eleven year his house.
Speaker 1 (30:29):

Speaker 4 (30:35):
Jay to I was gonna get myself in trouble.
Speaker 2 (30:39):

UH time now to find out what's trending in the
wide world of sports. From Monsey Blagos, who has the
latest on the big gaff tonight between the Cardinals and
(31:03):
the Seahawks and how much money she lost on that game.
Speaker 8 (31:08):
You know, this is one of those games where I
would have been so annoyed if I put.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Any money on it, because you know what I'm saying,
like what a game.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
I know Seattle is breathing a sigh of relief that
they ended up winning it with the fifty two yard
field goal from Jason Myers. Final score against Arizona twenty
three to twenty, But it was really a story of
two different halfs. Arizona only scored three points in the
first half, came alive in the second. Kyler Murray had
two interceptions in the first half, for example, one of
(31:36):
them coming off the hands of Marvin Harrison Junior, but
Murray found him in the end zone in the second half.
Kyler Murray ended twenty seven to forty one, two hundred
yards and two touchdowns. Murray threw his second touchdown of
the game with thirty eight seconds left and they tied
the game against Seattle, but Arizona's kickoff was short of
the landing zone, which resulted in a penalty, meaning the
Seahawks got the ball back on their own forty yard line,
(32:00):
eventually led to the game winning fieldicle, and that's how
the Seahawks won it.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
They are officially the Spirit Airlines and football teams. Wow,
Spirit Airlines, bring your own seat? Wait? Is this Spirit
versus Frontier?
Speaker 6 (32:13):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (32:14):
You know Frontier? Okay? I remember the last time I
flew Spirit and I told my wife, I said, this
is the last Spirit I've got about an eighty percent
just disastrous. Well no, well you've had one hundred percent
success rate on scoore. You talking about what it's really important,
you'ved one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
I'm talking about where you know, you start getting into
the metrics. So how much time have I now lost
in that an airport?
Speaker 1 (32:35):
I don't want to be like no, no, no, no, no,
no no no, no, totally Frontier. See Frontier. I always
have this vision of because I don't think I've ever
flown Frontier, but sure enough, like you know, their big
hub is in like Colorado or places, and they always
seem to have the coolest stores, like when like the
Round Frontier where they're like they have all this Chocolate
company and all this Rocky Mountain National Rocky Mountains Frontier.
(32:58):
Sounds cool. Yeah, it sounds sounds cool.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
That sounds cool, is it?
Speaker 1 (33:01):
That's the question.
Speaker 8 (33:03):
Other NFL news Commander's quarterback Jaden Daniels was limited in
practice today with his knee injury for a second straight day.
Rams wide receiver DeVante Adams did not practice because of
his hamstring injury. The Steelers have officially ruled out linebacker
alex Heigsmith because of an ankle injury. He hasn't practiced
this week. He's not traveling to Dublin to play against
the Vikings. When it comes to base bull the Tigers
(33:25):
snapped their eight game losing streak with the forty two winners.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
The Tiger's lost again just to Tigers lost again, so
rid no one. They won again.
Speaker 8 (33:34):
Yeah, you're right, that's probably were probably thinking.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
I am wrong.
Speaker 8 (33:37):
I'm not. Cleveland and Detroit are tight again at the
top of the Al Central. By the way, Cleveland does
own that tiebreaker. The Yankees beat the White Sox five three,
while the Blue Jays outscored the Red Sox six to one.
So New York and Toronto are tight again at the
top of the AL East. The Mets defeated at the
Cubs eight to five. Pittsburgh lost to the Reds earlier
today two to one. Dodgers clinched to the NL West
after shutting out the Diamondbacks eight and zero. So New
(33:59):
York has one game lead on Cincinnati and a two
game lead on Arizona for the final wild card spot
in the National League, and the Mariners are playing. Has
cal Rowly hit a home run? No, but they're up
on the Rockies six to one, bottom of the seventh in.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
They have to die. He's got the Dodgers bullpen this week.
He's gonna hit seven. They hit seven, Yeah, yeah, help
it with fifty seven? Yeah, no problems. Yes, he's chilling
right now. He's beating bonds. Finished with seventy one. Uh,
thank you much.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
Yes.

Night Football coming up in about ten minutes. The two
biggest things coming off of this one the huge special
(35:07):
team's gap that helped cost the Cardinals the game. And
a guy that needs credit where I didn't think he'd
be getting any credit at this point in the season,
but earlier today to a tongue of Aloa made some
pretty big NFL headlines by answering a question about criticism
he had gotten recently from Cam Newton. Right, what what
(35:28):
did I say a year ago? Someone's gonna hire Cam Newton.
He and Ben Roethlisberger are guys that cut through. There'd
be the next wave. Someone's gonna hire both of them
and and they're going to reap the rewards yeah, Roethlisberger
had some had some thoughts on things these in Dublin
on when when they speak, they said, someone's gonna hire
both of these guys, and they're going to reap the
(35:50):
rewards of that, right because they're they're still so recent
to the game.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
And they both cut through what they say makes news.
And Cam Newton had some critics to a tonguel II
looa to what answered that today? And he really went
in depth in his explanation about why it doesn't really
matter to him because nobody else that criticizes him can
get on the field and play quarterback, say through an interception,
(36:17):
and he makes fifty three million.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
You know what I mean, because they do.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
They always say that.
Speaker 5 (36:21):
I heard Cam Newton say, well, anybody can play quarterback
in this league. Then I mean I want to see
anybody on the streets come and play quarterback. I mean, Cam,
Cam's doing his thing for sure, but you know, to
it's I think it's easier to be able to hold
a clicker and talk about it that way or talk
about what someone else is doing wrong when you're you're
(36:44):
not going out and having to do the same as them, right.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
So I think it's it's it's all.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
It's easy to do that. I think anybody can do that.
I don't think anybody can play quarterback.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
So okay, so first of all, the clicker like he's eighty,
Like he's my eighty years old. Who's got the clicker?
I want to turn some the clicker? The clicker? Well,
I mean you do have to, you know, stop the
tape and where's the clicker? Where's the clicker? But all
like that, I'm pretty sure Cam Newton, Now you're talking
about criticide Cam Newton. Pretty sure, Pretty sure Cam Newton
played in the NFL want after me. Pretty sure he
(37:16):
won the m v P. Pretty sure he went to
a Super Bowl, and pretty sure Cam Newton played in
the game.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
I mean you, yeah, he could have made a joke
about diving out of fumble in a big situation, but
beyond that, you're losing.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
I mean, he's got all those feathers in his hat
literally and figure he's got a great hat game. That's
all I'm gonna say about Cam Newton. But you know,
he's a little off base at that, because this is
Cam Newton is criticizing him. That clearly, no matter how
you feel, Cam Newton has the right to say what
he wants to say about quarterbacks in the NFL. Right,
I mean we all do, but Cam Newton because the
(37:48):
guy was there and he did it for so long.
But you want to know, like with Tua, the entire
time he's been in the league, he's been one of
those guys that you feel like, wow, if I feel
like he's almost there, like he's almost a franchise guy.
He almost has it right, it's almost has clicked for him.
But it just seems to be there's too much in
(38:10):
his way all the time, right, And I don't mean
with the injuries. I mean trusting himself, becoming an elite,
elite quarterback, being able to adapt to different situations in
the NFL with your offense when players are in players
are out mentally to try to lead the Miami Dolphins
(38:32):
the way he does, Like I feel like he does
a lot of thinking and and sometimes I want to say, dude,
you just gotta go play. And secondly, you can't worry
about crap like Cam Newton, Right, you can't worry about that.
You gotta say Cam Newton said this, Yeah, that's great.
Can't can say what he wants to say. But now
you want to go back and say I'd like to
see somebody else coming to play quarterback. Like that's a
(38:53):
frustration level when you say something like that, that's a
frustration level that you have with critics overall. Right, that's
not hey, well Caddy camp blank cam blank, that guy.
Oh you think you could do You think it's so easy.
You come in here and do it. Whoa whoa, whoa whoa.
You're getting paid a lot of money to do what
you do for a living. I do what I do
for a living. This person doesn't. They do for a living.
But you could tell by his response that it weighs
(39:15):
on him. And that's something that that's part of why
he has never broken through to be that true top
of the line franchise quarterback that we thought he was
gonna be coming out of Alabama. Because still Miami paid
him a lot of money. He's gonna be on a
new team next year. Miami's gonna move on. They're gonna
move on from everybody. New head coach knew everything they
paid him. But he's still not getting that franchise hug.
(39:36):
He's still he still thinks too much and stuff moves
too slow for him. He's got to just be able
to react, react to what happens, blow stuff off, and
go play. And I feel like he's never been able
to do that.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Well, we've talked about it a lot. They want to
work it off timing. Well, you got a bunch of freelancers,
and that's not what to his game is, nor is
it an arm strength that's gonna cut through to make
up for it. Right, A couple of times you see
him try to make a big push. We saw it
in the loss that they had with the interception in
(40:08):
the final throws of things, like you left it in
a tough spot and obviously linebacker makes a great play
on the ball, but you weren't going to be able
to drive it in regardless. Now you know, we're watching
it with Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson what they want
to do in terms of timing, I think a lot
is the subtext and what isn't being said by Tua
(40:29):
in this moment. It's one thing to go at the cam,
but for the rest of it, it's like, you want
to come in to deal with what I'm dealing with here.
I got this guy McDaniel, I got Tyreek Hill. He
doesn't want to look at me. Watt was not the
guy that came into this league. I mean, because he's
got talent. There there's a lot now they let John
new Smith go out the door. Bad move right eighty
(40:51):
eight catches in a security blanket for your offense to
help move the chains that is no longer there. I
get that, but I think that's that's the second part
of this. It's like, yeah, on the field, you guys
see that. Watch what I'm trying to do and lead.
Behind the scenes, it ain't happening.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
I feel like it's too it's too daunting for him
to be a big star quarterback in the NFL. Like
he just the stuff doesn't play slow for him.
Speaker 4 (41:18):
Right.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
They say it's like the game slows down for the
great ones, But I mean, like the overall being a
star quarterback in the NFL has not slowed down enough
for him to where he's still answering questions like this.
Tell how upset he is when he hears people say
he's not any good. You're trying to move forward, trying
to lead a team where clearly he's not the same
quarterback he was a couple of years ago. Like that's
kind of everything for Tua wrapped up in this conversation.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
Any of the pundits and people covering the team in
Miami that was using one of those cool pens that
had four colors, they've now clicked on the red.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
It's all you're getting going. Last one you got is
the red. It's all right. Black is gone, blue is gone,
green is gone. Got to use the red, took all
the removed all shadows it out. Coming up next, two
big hot tags coming off of t nf UX
