(00:56):
I mean, unless you're a Phillies fan.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Because really again excited for a minute.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah, because I gotta say it's a happy Monday for me,
because honestly, the Yankees losing and the Phillies losing is
like a Mets win. It's almost like equal to the
Mets winning and both of them being down to zip.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Okay, It's like it's it's like the Mets one. It's
like they're still playing it nicely done.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
And I have another one of those, one of my
guys doing things for other teams, Andrew Vaughn with a three.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Run over, as comes.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Everybody, everybody from this White Sock. We're gonnaed to thirty
for thirty odd. Just hey, how did all of these
guys play for the White Sox go elsewhere?

Speaker 2 (01:36):
And now we're great? No, but that's it we've got.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
We were building the algorithm to find out exactly what
the proper mathematical formula is of how far you need
to be roomed for the Jets or the Browns to
become really good.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Oh, it's okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
And then obviously all of these ex White Sox players
were having big moments in the playoffs. You know me,
I loved some Andrew Vaughn somewhere along the line in
his time in Chicago, and the man was broken and
he goes to Milwaukee, and well he goes and makes
big pivotal hits. So yeah, so much going on in
the sporting universe. It's just a fantastic what forty eight

(02:13):
seventy two hours. Some hiccups along the way, but here
we are on a Monday night, ready to recap and
break it all down.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Let's start with what's happening right now Monday night football.
Chiefs and the Jaguars tied at fourteen a piece. Midway
through the third quarter. Xavier Worthy has just gone down
on but now it looks like he's getting up and
jogging off the field does not look great. He goes
down after an incomplete pass, after completed pass that he catches, runs,

(02:44):
kind of makes a cut a little bit, so he's
not really touched and he kind of just falls down
a little bit. So the good news is that he's
able to get up and jog off. The bad news
is he wasn't really touched. He's trying to stay up
on the sideline right now. So this just happened seconds ago.
But she and the Jaguars tied at fourteen a piece.
It's been a big night for both quarterbacks so far.

(03:05):
Mahomes has been incredible and finally Trevor Lawrence showing that, Hey,
you know what, I'm on National TV. I'll make a
player too now. And I mean I'm a complete and
total jag. And I don't mean like the team I
play for. I mean, I'm a league average quarterback, but hey,
give me the bright lights once in a while, I
can make a couple of plays. He runs for a
touchdown a few minutes ago to tie the game up
at fourteen.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Big Spots also had that big goal line play where
they were going in until they weren't on the big
dive bolted with the punch out at the goal line
as Lawrence tried to go over the top. He also
had a play where he tried to throw the ball
about three yards past the line of scrimmage. Yeah, totally
the lost track of where he was. He's drifting and

(03:45):
he starts running forward. It wasn't like just one step
where oh he's clearly over this. Oh no, no, you
have just you're past everybody. This isn't even in the well,
you know. And he doesn't have the benefit of the
imaginary line.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
No, no, no.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
You see where the down marker is and he's well
beyond it. And you even see the guy that's that's
holding the flag looking at him like, really, you're gonna
throw the ball. They are winning the uniform battle, the uniform.
They are winning the uniform battles.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Although I got to say, I don't know if anybody burnell.
I don't know if anybody's winning the uniform battle that
we had yesterday between the Seahawks and the Bucks.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Like that's it, that's Hall of Fame. Yeah there, that
was some kind of uniform matchup. What a game that was?
Due man, you want you want to talk about fireworks
from pillar to post?

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Good?

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Lord, So we'll have more football on the way again.
The Chiefs have the football driving right now again. Fourteen fourteen.
Midway through the third quarter, Zavi you Worthy has come
back on the field. Look good, just caught a pass,
jumped out of bound, so it looks like he's okay,
bought that pass on Travis Hunter. So you know a
little bit of a little delliance there by Xavier Worthy

(04:50):
in front of Truvor in front somehow.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Wow, wait, a lot of controversy. Wait, there hasn't a
pick play there. There hasn't been any roughing the passer
penalties yet. Yeah, just wait for I've seen this movie.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
Just wa.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
We had the Kelsey touchdown that Patrick Mahomes ran to
the official to explain how a pick plays.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Has to be.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Hey, yeah, you can't throw a flag here, No flag
are yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, that's like the youth coach
that yells at that that when something happens in soccer
or softball and they have to run to the official
to tell them how it's legal before they make the
ruling on the play. Unless if it's legal, if you
look in the rules, it's a legal play. It's a
legal play.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Belichick used to have that power once upon a time.
But again, uh, fourteen fourteen, midway through the third quarter. Meanwhile,
Cubs and Brewers tied at three apiece. Masarowski is in.
Remember when he was great?

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Uh, he was a big deal for he was really
good for a second. However, all the drama coming from
Dodgers Phillies Game two, I just want to say this
first of all, you know, because because Nick Costeano's kind
of you know, brings us out to me, you know,
not to talk blank or anything about other teams, but
usually a team that has a buy and home field
advantage wins one of the first two games at home.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
You know, usually that happened. Yes, wow, I feel good
about saying that.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
What you're doing but still at home bringing the Mets back,
it doesn't matter, No, it doesn't. Now what castianos to say, hey,
not to talk blank or anything about the Mets, but
you know usually had a player like Juan Soto, you
do better this season. Like That's what he's saying going
into the series. Like I'm like, what, why are you
so focused on the Mets? So I figured, okay, I
just want to you know, get that out there too.
You're so worried about the metal, say my internet.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Syle, was he safe?

Speaker 4 (06:20):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Well yeah, technically he was safe because the tag should
have been a little bit closer. But it doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
The Dodgers hold off the Phillies for to three and
there there There's so many things from this game, but
there's two big ones to get to for the first
couple of minutes.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Here.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
First thing is the Dodgers hold on despite the fact
Dave Roberts waits until the last possible moment to bring
in Roki Sasaki in the ninth inning. A four to
one lead going to the ninth inning and Dave Roberts
brings in, brings in Blake Trinon, who we have seen, yes,
got a couple of outs versus the Reds, but Dodger bullpen.

(06:57):
It is the great equalizer of these playoffs. What if
we say said the Dodger bullpen is gonna have a
lot to say about who wins and who loses, and
not from a positive perspective, Dodger bullpen is the big
Achilles heel of this team.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah, I wouldn't feel great about it. You're up for
one in the ninth and Tryning comes in and he
gets hit. And then not only okay, well, now Roki
Sasaki's coming in because clearly he has shown he's the
best pitcher you can bring in. That's not a starter,
and no, Alex Vesia comes in and I get that. Okay,
you had left handed hitters coming up, but come on, man,
you gotta go to your best pitcher. And Sasaki has

(07:29):
been electric. I know he's only had four innings pitch,
but this is how bad the Dodger bullpen is. And
I'm watching this going If the Dodgers blow this game,
Dave Roberts is gonna get fired on the bus going
back to LA. How do you not go to your
best You have a day off tomorrow. Sasaki has picked
one inning, one inning, awesome, right, you go to him
in the ninth inning to close this thing out, and

(07:49):
instead it's Blake Trinon who gets ripped to shreds that
she comes in barely holds on and thanks to a play,
we'll get to you because the Phillies decided want to
hand you this game. But really, I mean, Dave, I'm like,
is Dave Roberts trying to get fired? I don't know
what he's doing here?

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Not going you go? I know you love your guys,
and I get it. I get he loves his guys,
and watch a show that he's confident, but that's not
how you do it here, man, and I'm watched this going. Man,
he really might not make it back to La on
the flight if the Dodgers blow this game. In the
ninth thing, you have another monster start for Blake Snell,
who's been everything they could have wanted. And then some

(08:24):
six innings pitched, one hit aloud, nine strikeouts, absolutely dominant
in his ninety nine pitches, and then you know they
have the great debate of whether they're bringing back out. Well,
they got two good innings out of Shean, gave up
one urn run, but goes two innings, two hits, a strikeout,
twenty seven pitches done. Then the ninth inning comes and

(08:44):
I synced it up. So I had the video SYNCD
up with our guys locally AM five to seventy LA
Sports and.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Immediately there was no second guessing. That was a mean,
where's Sasaki? As soon as trying it makes the the
way to the mound and they're talking about him coming
in there immediately on the all right, he had that
off day.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
He's young. Why isn't he on the mountain?

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Well, yeah, it's criminal, right, like no questions asked, Like
we talked about it last week. As soon as you
got proof of concept that the kid was gonna come
in and the the circumstances were not too big from
that's your guy. And then you you saw him do
it again and again, and it's why why you would
go and and go back out of the formula that

(09:32):
is currently working for you. Uh and and bring trying
and in absolutely beyond belief.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
I really I don't he if you if they fired
him on the plane ride back home, I would have said, well, yeah,
when you do something like that, like I mean, I
get you love your I get you love your guys,
but this is this is not you know, this is
not middle of June, and I gotta make sure we
have to we have to make sure these guys can
go and give us innings and build confidence. This is

(10:00):
this is winner go home time. Man, you could have
potentially given the series away. And it's not like you
didn't know, Like absolutely he knows this. I've seen this bullpen,
I've seen what's happened over the past, We've watched it.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
From I'm going to go to them.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
But that's the thing, right, whatever, whatever your formulas say,
whatever your brain trust has come through. If here's the
game plan, you're up one one nill on the on
the Phillies and you have a chance to come back
to Los Angeles up to to Oh why are you
adding anything to that equation? Right, there's no need you

(10:33):
put the ball in Sasaki's hand and guess what if
he doesn't have it, then you have to break glass
and figure so.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
You also lose with your best you want to you
want to lose having him sit in the bullpen and
go yeah, now, I mean, what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (10:46):
I don't understand what do you what are you? What
are you doing with that? Right?

Speaker 3 (10:49):
The fact that these jails that they had success in
prior years, and the congratulations and thank you for what
you did in the current state of things, the current
way you're pitching, and what each outing has been, and
you can go through the game logs. It's not This
is not hyperbole. We have watched it on a nightly basis.

(11:12):
It is not worked, which means just skip from A
to C. We don't need We don't need a bunch
of middle relievers just because you got your two innings
out of shean go to the ninth, clean, clean inning,
nobody on base, Let the kid go to work.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Now that being said, do we really need to put
forth any more evidence? How I tell you how useless
and awful a strategy bunting is in Major League Baseball?
Now do I need to see anything more than the
ninth inning where the Dodgers are up by three, The
Phillies come out, put two on right away, Castiano's with

(11:50):
that half swing double down the left field line. The
park is going crazy. Runner at second, nobody out, and
the Phillies decide we're going to try to bunch Costellanos
over to third base.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
Yeah, the fans that stay, we're now raucus.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Because I told you the bunt is an awful play
it You people don't understand that it's a play that
has to be executed that not everybody can execute in
a fundamental way. Oh it's fundamental. Yeah, it should be
the But that's not major League Baseball anymore. And bunting,
you're just giving the other teaman out at best. At worst,
you are bunting yourself out of an inning. And in

(12:29):
this case, the Phillies bunted themselves out of the NLDS.

Speaker 5 (12:34):
Bessie A kicks and fire Stott gets the bunt down
to third, picked up by Munsi, he goes to third,
and Castianos is gonna be out. They execute the play
to perfection. There was Dodgers Radio Network on the call.
I'm telling you, Stott bunts and they throw out Castianos
at third?

Speaker 2 (12:52):
What do you do? Not only did you? Did you?
Not only?

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Is it ridiculous that you're okay saying we're okay putting
the game on the next app with a runner on
third and one out, We're okay, you put into We're
gonna get a ground ball or a fly out or something.
You're going one. You're going one when baseball's about failure, right,
You're okay going one on one with that. But now
you don't even have that, and you have the runner
at first and oh, by the way, hey, you had

(13:17):
another base hit, could have tied the game. Maybe the
ground ball would have brought in the game tying run too,
if the guy's still out there right, that ground ball
to Freddie Freeman could have brought in the run. All
of these things could have happened. But instead, no, the
Phillies decide to bunt, and as you see what happens.
I really I don't think I need any more evidence
in what I talk about how bunting is. There is
a by gone strategy that it does much more worse

(13:40):
than good it does because the percentage play of trying
to pull it off, and then what you have after
I mean it, Billy Bean had it, write and Moneyball.
Don't be a hero. Pick up the ball, dude, you're
giving us an out. Pick up the ball throat the
first This was so easy. Yeah, Castanos out by a
mile at third base, like I'm wondering if he even
knew the bunt was on, which again is part of
the thing.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
It's one thing to try to bunt in the ninth
inning of a game in May and June.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
It's another thing to do it Game two of the
NLDS with a raucous crowd and all kinds of pressure
you have to be able to execute. Bunting is awful.
Five hundred and fifty played appearance. How many bunt attempts
you think he had on the air?

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Two? Three? So clutch he.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Thought Max Munsey was slow? Oh fucker exit? How about
a fresco exit swallend? On the Jason Smith Show with
my best friend Mike Harmon, I like, congratulations Dave Roberts.
The Phillies ball you out so much, hey, Jason, Yeah,
what do you got Frostburg?

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Good team's find ways to win? Yeh, by the way.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
And also on the final play, the absolute savagery of
the am five seventy call from the booth when Tommy
had been through the ball in the dirt that had
to be picked.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
By Freddy Freeman. Ready, fragmant. That's why you have a
gold glover. But that was the worst throat That was atrocious.

Speaker 6 (14:52):
That was Yeah, I didn't I didn't recognize the play
by play guy.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
I don't know who who that was. Somebody must have
been sick or something.

reversal of fortune Monday Night football. A big ninety nine

(17:24):
yard pick six of Patrick Mahomes has given the Jaguars
the twenty one to fourteen lead early in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile,
Brewers lead the Cubs four to three. Swanson up now
for the Cubs big home run giving the Brewers the
lead here again, still a waste to go in this one.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Misowski. When he was good, he was great, and now
here he is pitching because the Brewers have nobody.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
Else, so we will have more baseball on the way.
But joining us now on the hotline, nobody better to
break down Week five in the NFL Longtime NFL Insider Odyssey,
one of five. I have seven the fan in Baltimore
Washington Post and I'm gonna let the cat out of
the bag. Brand new Ravens general manager as given the
position today, it is Jason lock and for congratulations Jay.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
Yeah, Well, unlike the MUK who actually does the job,
I'm not sitting here at night in sunglasses in an
Armani suit like some sort of men in black cos player.
I'm not dressed like a total blanker on the sidelines
where I have no business being. That's just me.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
So look, obviously we'll get to a lot of stuff.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
But you know the big loss by the Ravens, and
I know that they well they say a lot of talents,
have a lot of talent. Jay, Honestly, I don't know
that they haven't gotten over that Week one loss to
the Bills, like you talk about mentally and stuff like.
I don't know that that their season didn't end that
game against Buffalo.

Speaker 4 (18:48):
It was an absolutely brutally ridiculous way to start a season,
coming off a brutally way ridiculous way to end the season,
and a brutally ridiculous way to end the season before that. Yeah,
I think it's absolutely the last thing they could afford.
It will be part of what Callstack or the defensive

(19:09):
coordinator his job doing the bye week. Barring some sort
of miraculous blowing up against the Rams offense that's got
a lot to prove, that's left a lot of meat
on the boat that cost them games against the Eagles
and the forty nine ers. They should have walk. Yeah,
they've got issues on offense, defense and special teams here,
but the defense is as object failure. I mean, they've

(19:29):
allowed twenty more points than the Jets. Like, They've allowed
the most passing touchdowns in the league and the second
most rushing touchdowns. It's the worst fourth quarter defense in
the league, the last of the league in sack rate
their twenty eighth and pressure rate. They have no playmakers.
Like before he was Alfie Calle Hamilton, he wasn't making plays.
This year has really made plays since Mike McDonald left

(19:50):
town to go run. Gianle Roquand Smith's the most overpaid
linebacker in modern NFL history. He's worth found probably four
or five million. The tay him twenty to do. I
really don't know what I mean. He's hurting now too.
They refuse to pay for pass rush. They can't identify
pass rush in the draft. They have no idea how

(20:11):
to cultivate pass rush. And Kyle Van Noys thirty six
and he's beat up, but he's not really a pass
rusher anyway, you know, a versatile edge defender. So no, there,
it's crude and it was the most overhyped roster in
NFL history. A lot of people who just were like
falling all over this roster. And I'm like, well, who's

(20:33):
the backup left tackle when Ronnie Stanley gets hurt? Not if,
but when? Because Ronnie Stanley's on barrow time, and like,
who are the pass rushers? And has something happened to that?
A BK? But Michael Pierce retired? What the hell are
they going to do there? And now they're paying for it?

Speaker 3 (20:49):
So does Jerry end up looking like the smartest guy alive?
If Dak Prescott keeps playing to this level and backs
up that defense, maybe gets us slightly better.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
No, No, I mean we've seen this drill before, right,
I mean, look at who they're beating up on. This
is what they do. I mean, and they're gonna do
it again this week against Carolina. But it's Carolina's got
new free is not a record to the playoffs, like
I mean, no, they've got major, major issues defensively. What

(21:27):
Dak is doing is really impressive. They need more bite
on defense and they traded that bite. So no, they'll
be you know, they'll be marginally interesting. They'll beat some
bad teams. They'll lose to some bad teams. They'll score
thirty five some weeks, it won't be enough. That's just

(21:48):
I kind of feel like I've seen this before.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Yeah, but I mean, but at least now Jerry Jones
is flipping off fans, like when he's flipping off Jets
fans after the game yesterday, Like there's that at least
we have.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
Yeah, I mean the small victories, I guess, yes.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Jason locking for with us Fox Sports Radio The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon. Okay, so
if I had to say to you who had the
most embarrassing loss yesterday, the Dolphins, the Raiders, or the Cardinals,
I mean, the Jets are in a category all by themselves.
But Dolphins, Raiders, Cardinals. Who had the worst loss?

Speaker 4 (22:23):
I mean, I think the Ravens had the worst loss.
They lost forty four ten at home. I mean they
didn't force C. J. Stroud to punt. I mean they
didn't punt. So it was Damian Pearson, the backup quarterback
like Stroud, completed eighty six percent of his passes in
their NFL football and through to whoever he wanted. I
mean the worst, I think the Cardinals might have to

(22:45):
kind of be the worst. That's what you get, Liam Cohne.
I'll take the interception, but wow, why are they not
just running the ball? Oh my god, Hey, I'm on there.
Nuts and Prova, I had one of that. We have
homes and numb nuts to throw a pick that hit.

(23:06):
We got the under and numb nuts to throw a pick.
So let's see about that one. You can't make this
stuff up. And William Cohen know what he's doing. I mean,
how about how about the end of the first half?
What was that? What were they trying to accomplish there? Yeah?
How about the Cardinals.

Speaker 8 (23:22):
I just.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
They were lucky to survive a weird one against Carolina.
Like they just seem dead set on playing bonkers football.
I just don't know really what they're good at. Uh,
I really don't. And yeah, there's a lot of bad
football teams. I mean, the Jets. It's hard to say
who's the worst from week to week. I mean, the

(23:48):
Jets are really horrible, but god, the Dolphins are really horrible,
and the Bengals are really horrible, and obviously the Titans
and the Raiders are really horrible. The Ravens are really horrible.
There's plenty of that to go around.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
You know, that's a.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Lot of bad on the other on the other end,
Did you ever think that we'd say, Wow, I want
five more shootouts between Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
How about both those guys being in Carolina at the
same time, and I'm not thinking either one was good.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
That's why Matt Rule was not on Carolina anymore. Some
of the greatest photos ever remember when.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
Yeah, We'll always have that. Yeah, I mean that. That
what a game. I mean, Look, I thought Seattle was
turning the corner, and I do think they're pretty decent defense,
but Data just can't get out of their own way
at home. And Baker. I think Baker is the top
covering road quarterback since he got the Tampa. I know,

(24:44):
he leaves the league in touchdown passes since he had
the Tampa And I'm pretty serious that the best road
ats cover percentage since he got to Tampa. And they've
been really beat up. I mean, people talk about injuries
and winding and crying. Tampa's had a lot injuries. They
just keep finding ways to win. Injuries to the offense,
finds in the defensive find injuries. The key wide receivers. Yeah,

(25:07):
I mean, I think Baker's got a real shot at
the MVP.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
All right, Uh, you know, let's go back.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
You mentioned Arizona real fast, and but you've been waiting
to ask you this all day, J because you people
ask me and I go, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
I don't know the answer.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
How do plays like Mary Demricado dropping the football before
the goal line? How does that still happen in the NFL?
We had it last week with with ad nin Mitchell.
I don't understand how those plays still happen in the NFL.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
It's it's really hard to fathom. I don't know if
people used, you know, the Aby Mitchell thing as like
a teaching tool and showed that to guys I I mean,
Deshaun Jackson, I remember you used to do it like
kind of like not like quite all the time, but
like way more than any one guy should. I really

(25:53):
don't know, man, It's it's it's just it's like a
brain cramp. It's a man, it's just so devastating, though.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
I.

Speaker 4 (26:03):
Don't know, I don't know how to explain it. I'm
sure we haven't seen the last of it. I don't know.
I mean, I tend to think I would hug that
thing and credit it like my life depending on it,
and make sure I was five yards deep into the
end of so I parted with it. But I also
know I have no business even thinking like that, and
I will never experience that, nor do I deserve to

(26:26):
experience that. But it's bizarre.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
Yeah, but bizarre can convergence. We've got over a half
dozen of those in the last couple of years.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
All right, let's talk injury. Let's talk chaos.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
Let's talk Jim Harball wearing weird hats in his post game.
But they lose on Marion Ampton, You're already down Alton Slater.
Just the injury bug afflicting the brothers Harball in a
major way.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
Yeah, they look completely on their mind. Like I've wrote
about this with the Washington Post, of all the injuries
that happened before this season that Joe Alt wanted in
real time, just seem to like be an absolute soul crusher.
And I never liked the interior of their offensive line.
And now you take both tackles away and those guys
look like a total bleep show, and then you lose
the run. And so it's like, Okay, well, what's the answer. Well,

(27:15):
we're going to ride you know, multiplicity in the run game,
and then you know, you lose your rookie back. I
think they're in a bad way many they're kind of
back to charging. I mean, they look like they're going
to go up maybe three scorers in that game and
get themselves back right, and they blow that endpoint lead
and then they can't get out of their own way.

(27:35):
But I I don't think they're going to be able
to do the things that Greg Roman and Hardball want
to do because I don't think they have the offensive
line to do it. And Herbert all of a sudden,
you look at how often that kid's getting hit. Yeah,
I think I think looked out for the Gun and

(27:57):
Broncos in the NFC left Devin brocas Or winning that division.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Did they solve their problems with the win yesterday?

Speaker 1 (28:03):
I mean they're down two touchdowns, you think, okay, that's
going to be it, and instead they call their way
back and find a way to win.

Speaker 4 (28:10):
I don't think. I don't know that they have suge problems.
They've allowed six offensive touchdowns so far this year. That's
do what's in the NFL. I mean they're right back
to being in top three and points allowed per drive.
I think, you know, the quarterback came into the year
a little maybe full of just press clippings, try to
do too much the first couple of weeks, but Sean
mcday is the perfect guy to knock that out of

(28:31):
the system. Run game is better than it was last year.
There's still room for improvement, but I think that's pretty
good football for.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
You can followhim on Twitter at Jason lock and four.
That is at Jason lock and for Odyssey one oh
five seven the Fan in Baltimore, Washington Post and brand
New Ravens gm uh. Jay is always buddy appreciated.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
Man.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
We'll talk to you next week. Have fun.

Speaker 4 (28:57):
That was good the games, guys.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
Jason, There goes Jayson looking for it. Yeah, you look
of all the crazy things right with it?

Speaker 2 (29:03):
You know?

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Coming off yesterday, I mean, really did Jerry Jones flipping
off Jets fans?

Speaker 2 (29:09):
No, it's good? Come on, I'm like, wow, did I
really need more of that in my week than anymore?

Speaker 4 (29:14):
No?

Speaker 1 (29:14):
No, it's not enough that this happened. But here's a
day later, a getting Jael. You get some of this
and then you get some of this, I'll blank you
and blank you.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
How about this? Yeah, yeah, I ran mad about that. Correctly,
isn't that like two hundred and fifty grand per per bird?

Speaker 1 (29:28):
That's what it was that Adams right, well, but Adams
stood up and kind of what yes, but but but
this is out the same.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Yeah, this is worse. Oh no, it is. Nobody knew who,
Like he just said, who's that crazy old man? I'm
just trying to slide. This is Jerry Jones.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
I'm just trying to slyly get you know, give somebody
the finger. I mean, no, they can't, they can't. You
can't can't get me for that. I meant to put
out my first finger because what I was saying is, hey,
look at the scoreboard, But instead I put out in
my second finger.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
So because I had a cramp. Jason fingering your face.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
I mean, just I'm like, did I.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Really I mean, of all the things that happened that, honestly,
yesterday the Jets played, that was probably and I'm I'm
not being you know, being overly so with this. In
fifty years of being a Jets fan, that's probably one
of the five most embarrassing losses I have ever spent
because you could pick any part four beat four backup

(30:26):
offensive lineman doesn't matter. Constantly giving up fourteen points in
the final two minutes of the first half when you
call time out to get the ball back incredibly embarrassing.
Worst defense in the NFL that you can't do anything
on until your garbage time with five minutes to go
in the game. Like you you cut up so many things.
It was so unbelievably embarrassing yesterday and now hey, I

(30:47):
gotta get Hey, Jerry Jones is also a flipping off
Jets fans. I'm like, come on, Jerry, that's a little
low hanging fruit. Okay, Jet fan, you understand where we're at,
just fifteen years plus and no playoffs, man, Just just
take it easy, Jerry.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
I think some of it goes to if you were
doing a sorting seat of your losses. You got five
five items, like what are those the five games? Like, no,
these are the folders, and this is where I've sorted
them all so much folder would you like to show
like the.

Speaker 6 (31:10):
Sword Jason, he move tumbled you, except with his middle
finger in your face.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
This is this is how many wins you haven't gotten
yet this year. There guy, that guy there, fireman Joe,
whatever your name is. How many turnovers you for you
this year? This is how many games you're over under
for wins rest of the season. Right here, here you go,
here you go there, fireman John that you gave that
call you that right?

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Okay? Okay, I did not need that, but that was
part of my week. Okay, Jets, you wear it?

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Uh time not to find out what's trending in the
wide world of sports from a guy who's been called
the Dave Roberts of Fox Sports Radio. Sometimes the decisions
he makes you gotta ask him about.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
It's deed to say, oh, not quite like this.

Speaker 8 (31:51):
The Dodgers are up two games to none in the
best of five NL Division series after holding on at
Philadelphia four to three tonight. The key play in the
ninth inning the Phillies bunted into an out at third base.
The third baseman, Max Munsey of LA was asked about
the wheel play that they used defensively that as Munsey
did a good job of charging in from third base

(32:13):
and the shortstop Mookie Bets behind him rotated over and
covered third for the putout, He said they they don't
practice such a play, and in fact, when manager Dave
Roberts was asked about it, did you practice this in
spring training? He literally said not once. Max Munsey on
Dodger's postgame on Sportsnet LA.

Speaker 9 (32:33):
As soon as as soon as we got in a situation,
me moved and Tommy immediately started talking about, Hey, we
gotta we gotta try something different here. We can't display
standard bump play. And when when that came out made
the pitching change. We talked to him about it and
he was all on board, and you know, I'm gonna
credit Mook was his idea. We got to go. You know,
he's saying, we gotta go wheel player, we gotta go
wheel play, and so we talk.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
So credit Mookie bets during a pitching thing. Idea, how
about that everything's coming up?

Speaker 8 (32:57):
Dodgers way to go, skip, Will Smith to runs, say
gold ta Oscar Hernandez two hits in a walk show,
Hey Otani and RBI single Aaron Nola. Philadelphia will be
starting Game three in LA Wednesday against Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and
the Brewers have just scored again. They have three home
runs after surrendering a three run shot top of the
first of the Cubs Brewers are ahead seven to three

(33:19):
over Chicago. In the bottom of the fourth, Jackson Churio
has just hit a three run homer. He returned tonight
after being removed from the opener Saturday due to hamstring.
Titan's Milwaukee the top overall seed, trying to go up
two games to none. You guys mentioned the Charger injuries.
They are placing first round running back Omar and Hampton
on injury reserve with a bad ankle, so he'll miss

(33:40):
at least four games, and running back Najie Harris is
already out for the year with the torn achilles currently
out for LA's Chargers, linebacker kahaliel Mack tackled Joe Alt
tackle Rashawn's Later is out for the year, and our
beloved guests mentioned about all the hits that Justin Herbert
is taking with this offensive line. In fact, just the
last three games, Herbert has hit thirty five times. He

(34:02):
is on pace. This is a sixth pro season. He's
on pace to be hit over six hundred times in
his first six years in this league.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Right now, ten.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Minutes Randall Cunningham when he first came into the NFL,
Like Yeah, Wars it's kind of like.

Speaker 8 (34:15):
The David Carr first year times five more years.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Yeah, but they've actually tried to address the offensive one.

Speaker 8 (34:22):
He didn't, yes, exactly. That was an expansion team. That
was kind Currently the offensive line is looking like an
expansion team. The Monday night football game at Jacksonville has
under ten minutes to go and the Jags are tied
with the Kansas City Chiefs twenty one all interception thrown
by Trevor Lawrence. Casey marches the other way for the
tying score Kareem Hunting a five yard TD. You mentioned

(34:45):
earlier the key play of the night, Trevor Lawrence on
a fourth and goal at the one trying the quarterback
sneak over the top and the ball was knocked away
for him for a fumble. Chiefs took over possession and
march ninety seven yards down the field for a score.
I will say exciting play is a ninety nine yard
interception return for a TD from Devin Lloyd of Jacksonville,

(35:06):
cutting in front of the receiver at the goal line
and picking off Patrick Mahomes and returning it. In fact,
that is the longest interception returned by a linebacker in
regular season history longest in the postseason. You might remember
James Harris, James Harrison, the Steelers spoke to you.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Thank you, Steve, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon Love from the
Fox Sports Radio studio has got more NFL on the
way and straight ahead the play of the day and
it comes with a great pipeing hot take on what
is allegedly one of the best players in baseball. That's
next right here, Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific. Bunting bunting bunting time.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Never bunt bunting bunting bunting time, It'll cost you the game.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Wait, the Phillies lost.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
Guess are favored and at home?

Speaker 4 (36:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (36:09):
Usually you know, not to talk blank or anything, but
usually teams that have that advantage win a couple of games.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
See what happens that way, right? Historically that is the case.
Fourth quarter.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
Chiefs will have to come from behind to win this game.
The Jaguars have taken a twenty four to twenty one
lead right now, six minutes left to go, Kansas City
has the ball. Meanwhile, the Brewers have opened up a
seven to three lead over the Cubs. Right now Mazerowski
is still on I believe it's his ninth inning of
relief tonight for the Brewers. But it's time now for

(36:39):
the play of the day, brought to you by a nice,
great hot take. Play the Day, of course, is brought
to you by ti Iraq. Tire Rack's been uping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
shipped fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire rack
dot com is the way tire buying should be. Well,
when you are at a zero zero tense playoff game

(37:02):
and everything is on the table, and runners at first
and second, nobody out, and a guy making thirty million
dollars at the plate, well, this is where the play
of the day comes from, except it's not the result
you thought it was gonna be.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
The best start of the outfield is in center field
with kajes turn a great speed at second base and.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Harper a swing at a mess he struck him out.
Snell goes back to the slider. What a big ky
that was.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
TBS on the call the Phillies in the bottom of
the sixth inning, a game which they could not get
to Blake Snell, who had an incredible game tonight. You
put runners at first and second, and here comes Bryce Harper. Right,
this is it, right, this is when he's coming up. Now,
you got you one out, runners at first and second.
This is what you're paying him thirty million dollars for. Right,

(37:53):
this is where we need a hit, We need something.
And Harper waves at a cutter out of the strike zone,
which he's been doing far more too much of the
last couple of years. You can get him to open
up his swing and he waves at that pitch much
more often than he used to. He also came up
later on with a runner in scoring position, didn't get
the run in. Bryce Harper is pretty good. That's as

(38:20):
far as I'm gonna go for Bryce Harper. He's a
pretty good player. He's not the superstar the Phillies think
he is. It's not a contract that's gonna age really well.
But Bryce Harper for his career is a twenty five
and seventy five player who has a problem staying healthy. Yes,
he walks a lot, and he gives you that great
image and optic that yeah mean, and I can hit anything,

(38:42):
and once upon a time that's what he was. But
for a guy that's knocked in one hundred runs twice
in his career, and really, when you hit third in
the batting order, knocking in runs is the only stat
that matters. Ops is great and all of a sudden,
but knocking in runs is the only stat that matters.
Bryce Harper, I'm sorry, He's pretty good. He's not the
guy wanted up in that Sitge. I'd rather have Kyle

(39:02):
Schwarber up in that situation if I'm the Phillies and
Bryce Harper, because Bryce Harper, he is much more human
than you think he is. You have this image of Harper,
Oh my god, he's so scared of I don't think
teams are scared of Bryce Harper anymore. I think they
know we pitch them the right way. We get him
out just like a lot of other good hitters. Great
because Harper is pretty good, right, But he's not someone
that overwhelmingly is. It's not like when Judge comes up,

(39:23):
or Otani comes up, or Freddie Freeman It's not one
of those guys gonna be oh man, this is gonna
be really tough. No, you can get him out, and
you get him out in clutch spots. Bryce Harper is
pretty good, but really the image of him and the
optic that he's still a big superstar guy can carry teams.
Forget it, man. The Phillies needed a hit in that situation.
Not that you always have to get a hit, but
this is thirty million dollars for you not to wave

(39:45):
at a pitch out of the strike zone with two
on and one out when you kind of have to
have that at bat. Next batter up hits the ground
ball to third, Ross makes that great play diving to
third base to get the third out of the inning.
Dodgers go on to win the game. Bryce Harper is
not that guy anymore.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
I like that you're harping on is see what they did?
That his salary a lot.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
It's like that's inconsequential at this point, right It's he's
batting where he is in the batting order of reputation history,
all of that nice career but two to eighty career hitter,
three hundred and sixty three career home runs, over a
thousand rbi. All of that, that's all finding good. He's
not the guy that he was five years ago, and

(40:26):
that that's noted.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Right. You look at Turner, you look at Schwarber.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
You got other guys in that lineup that on a
on in every at bat circumstance. They're better, they're more consistent.
At this point, Schwarber's gonna wave at more pitches. But
you know, Harper's no slouch in the strikeout column either.
But yeah, he's he's certainly not that guy at this
point in his career. You'd like a better at bat, certainly,

(40:53):
But that's that's the story of a lot of the
the greats that we remember from certainly our time on
air together and since our childhood. How many guys that
were monsters in the regular season got to the postseason
and he went and yeah, okay, because they get pitched differently.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
The situation's bigger all of those things.

Speaker 3 (41:14):
And maybe maybe the regular season guys, I don't know,
But for Bryce Harper, he seems like an awful old
thirty two. That's the problem with becoming the guy that
he was, because we knew about him before he ever
set foot. Yeah, all right, we knew about the contract stuff,
all of that fun and representation and all, and we
watched him since he was eighteen. That body is the

(41:37):
body of a thirty eight year old.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
At this point.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
Yeah, I mean, eventually he's gonna have to be a
full time dh probably sooner rather than later. But again
he doesn't. He doesn't hit it again.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
He's pretty good. That's Bryce Harper. He's pretty good.

Speaker 6 (41:49):
He goes to the Hall of pretty Good. The Dodgers
pitching's good too.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Exit about a Fresca ex least one was we got
more baseball on the way, but straight ahead the football
story that has all our attention in the last couple
of days, and it's by a guy who has him
can do this because right now it's been a really
soft landing from Liam Cohen coming in and they run
the ball great, their defense has been really good. But
this is a number one overall pick that you gave
fifty million dollars a year two. At some point he's

(42:14):
got to win a game for you. He's got to say, Okay, hey,
here I am final two minutes. This is my drive.
I'm gonna Baker mayfield this thing all the way down.
This is a huge drive. He is.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
He is fifty six yards away from what could be
a great moment for him, or a moment where you say,
maybe Trevor Lawrence. This is just kind of who he is.

Speaker 3 (42:35):
Yeah, three and one in those three wins, two d
and twenty two passing yards or fewer. He's under that
right now, trying to make plays with his legs. They
got the gift from Harrison Butker after the the touchdown
by Kareem Hunt, and he just threw an absolute dime
along the sideline in between two defenders to move the ball.

(42:55):
But they got the gift of Butcker kicking the ball
out about so they started at the forty he ran
and now he throws it up down the sideline, just
a beautiful play, swatting at its watson he can't get
it secured and out of bounce, so.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
Making that big play right as you called him out.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Uh huh, that's a great He dropped that right in
there to Brian Thomas like, that's a that's a hell
of a pass right there between two dbs. Connor comes
over a couple of steps late, so now the Jaguars
have the football first and ten fifty four seconds left
at the twenty four yard line of the Chiefs, plenty
of time to get in the end zone. Here, Lawrence
has a lot to work with. Throws a pass out

(43:33):
of bounds at the eleven yard line, Brown with a
big catchup but waiting for him to get back in
the lineup and finally has a big catch there. So
forty eight seconds left to go and now here they
are at the ten. Now you're thinking, wait, maybe they
might score too, so much you might score to give
all this time for Mahomes to get back out there.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
Yeah, it's crazy. I mean the past Thomas he ded
a double clutch. He had I think a finger on
it from the Kansas City defender. But you know it's
been well crossed through the first month of the season,
their inability to just get on the same path and
all the disconnect that's been there. But right now, just
moving the ball, cutting through Spagnola's defense to get down

(44:13):
to the twelve.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
I mean, this is such a huge moment for Trevor
Lawrence to come through to try to win this thing,
because it's all gonna be on him now, doesn't matter
if if they don't win and somebody runs the wrong route.
So it's Trevor What this is a guy you decided
to give a lot of money to even though he's
just been a league average quarterback at best. At best,
he's been a league average quarterback. But it's embarrassing for

(44:35):
the Jaguars. Well, we drafted this guy number one overall
when everybody said he should be a number one overall pick.
We gotta give him more money. Wait a minute, you've
seen him for four years. He's not been great. Yeah,
I get you took him number one. Everybody would have
taken him number one. I'm not saying that.

Speaker 3 (44:49):
But now here at the end, well, we look bad
if we don't pay him, Like that's really what it was.
We look bad if we don't pay him money. So
now you have a guy that you're giving fifty million
dollars a year to where he's still league average quarterback.
That's been the someone's gonna come in and unlock that
guy we saw at Clemson.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
That has been the tail of the tape. I don't
know about that, No, no, no.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
But that's it I'm saying in theory. And then Liam
Cohen comes in and well, he's the guy that's gonna
do it. To this point, coming into tonight's game. Through
four games, fifty eight percent completion rate, and I talk
about the disconnect and the near misses with Brian Thomas.
The frustrations have been there. You get Diami Brown back
on the field tonight. That was his first catch, but

(45:31):
coming into this game, you had what five touchdowns, four picks.
Fortunately the offensive line had held up, and it's really
been the run game and the defense that carried them.
They were nuss dying and coming through.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
That's why they've been able to be winning and look
and they look really impressive while they're doing it right.
They've been looking in press, running the football, playing great defense,
like Okay, hey, this has been a really good coaching
job coming in. I don't know if it's it's something
that this is what we want or it's after seeing
Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
We can't give him.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
All the responsibility he used to, but at some point,
your quarterback's got to win games for you.

Speaker 3 (46:04):
Yeah, we're also talking about, you know, a guy that
they pretty much gave up on in Washington and Diami
Brown being your number two and wishing, wanting, hoping that
Trevor Travis Hunter becomes that guy. You got Brian Thomas
and a bunch of guys, right. I mean, Brenton Strange
is your tight end who pops up now and again.
But overall, this is not a wide receiving corps that

(46:26):
strikes fear into the hearts of anybody. Heenan Cardell sure,
Jimmy Smith is now forever and twine Jimmy Smith. You
can't say one without the other. It's you know, Starsky
and Hutch, it's Lenny and Squeaky.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
So where we sit right now? After a first down
at the eleven yard line, coming off an incomplete pass
of the goal line, the Jaguars get called for delay
of game, which again that's not a great look. They
complete a short pass and now they're facing third and
thirteen and they throw into the ends. The Chiefs come

(47:03):
away with an interception off a tip, but there is
a flag and it looks like it could be past
interference on the Chiefs. The result of the play is
an interception, but it looks like there's gonna wind up
being pass interference.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
Waiting for the call right now.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
Lawrence just threw it up into the end zone and
got lucky that you got the pass interference call. They
got the pass interference call. They're gonna put the ball
in the one yard line. He was in trouble. He
threw it up to the end zone and yeah, Connor
doesn't really turn around, gets his arm around Thomas. The
ball bounce in the air and it's picked off. Yeah,
gotta turn your head around. You're not gonna get that call. Uh,

(47:39):
you see him get the right arm in, doesn't get
it out and he got it gonna.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
Ho Chief's gotten that call. Yeah, that's true. That the
other way.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
So it's gonna be a first and goal now for
the Jaguars at the one yard line with thirty seconds
left to go, and Trevor Lawrence. Trevor Lawrence is good.
Oh my god, Trevor Lawrence just rewrote his legacy. That's
the play of his life.

Speaker 3 (48:05):
The Trevor Lawrence makes the play of his life after
nearly making the worst mistake of his life. Okay, but
there there is a flag on the play. First and
goal from the one. Trevor Lawrence gets the snap from
center and promptly falls down.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
He steps on the center's baby steps on it. I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
I don't know if somebody stepped on his foot, but
Lawrence falls down, has trouble getting up.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
He gets up, the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 (48:36):
Cannot get to him and he's able to scramble out
of trouble and into the end zone for the go
ahead touchdown. The flag is on the Chiefs. It will
be declined, so the Jaguars take the lead thirty to
twenty eight extra point pending. Lawrence got his his helmet
off on the sideline. The flowing locks are everywhere. It

(48:56):
is a thirty one to twenty eight lead for the Jaguars.
Mahomes does have twenty three seconds and they do need
a field goal. But watching this play again, Lawrence takes
the snap and he looks like he gets his footstepped
on by the guard, by the right guard, and he
tries to get up and falls. He falls down, tries

(49:17):
to get up and falls a second time, gets up,
and somehow there's a.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
Chief one of the Chiefs slip through his arm. One
of the Chiefs defensive.

Speaker 3 (49:25):
Linemen has him in his grasp, has his arms around him,
and he can't corral him. Lawrence cuts up, gets into
the end zone for the touchdown, and it looks like
the Jaguars are gonna win this game if they can.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Hold on.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
He's got slips right through him, he's got both arms
around him at about the three yard line, and Lawrence
is able to stay up. I mean, that's the play,
that's the play of his card. Is the longest one
yard run in the history of man. And really he
has the comeback against the Chargers. Sorry Frostburg, he's got
the comeback. That was at.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
His fifty million year. I already got about that and
here you go. Yes, it's not in that wound. I
buried that one.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
That is the career defining play by Trevor Lawrence. I mean,
I mean that it's really a disaster to start, and
now what happens at the end is divine intervention on serendipity.

Speaker 3 (50:19):
On the in the nine eighteen to twenty five to
twenty one one and one also fifty four yards ten
carries two touchdowns on the ground.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Absolute insanity.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
So now it's going to work out a little bit
for the Chiefs potentially that they kick the ball out
of bounds because they have sixteen seconds. The balled about
the thirty five yard line their own thirty five. Remember,
they just need a field goal, except there's going to
be a holding call on the Chiefs it's going to
bring it back. So now Mahomes does have the timeouts
he needs holding on Jack Cochran. So now this takes

(50:52):
them back. So now they get sixteen seconds to get
the field goal range. Again, we've seen it many a
times from Patrick Mahomes, but this might be a little too,
you know, seeing on the replay. Yeah, he's got yep,
he's got a hold of the Jaguars player who can
have attempted to tackle the returner. That's gonna get flagged.
So now the ball is back at their twenty yard line.
But they do have the time out. So one play

(51:12):
near midfield. We've seen the Chiefs do it. Another play
into field goal range. We could see them potentially kicking
a game tying field goal. Can't take that part away
from Homes because just because we've seen them do that
so many times.

Speaker 3 (51:22):
Butuger has the distance, and obviously you do have the speedsters.
You've got more weapons deployed this week as the Chiefs
start to get healthy. But yeah, just an insane sequence.

Speaker 1 (51:35):
Pass across the middle is incomplete by Mahomes nine seconds left,
second and ten. They probably have one play to get
to midfield and probably a hailman.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
Un listen. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (51:44):
Maybe you want to, you know, try butker from sixty
five yards you get to midfield and try, you know,
why not right, try to get that.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
Little super toe slam on his head as fast as
hard as you can.

Speaker 6 (51:53):
Hey, Chiefs fans, how's it feel? How's it field? Kansas City?

Speaker 1 (51:58):
Mahomes tries to go over the middle d to Xavier Worthy.
Murray knocks it down, so again they put a second
back on the clock, So ten seconds left from the
eighteen yard line. Again, the Chiefs are looking at you know,
if they can somehow get it to midfield, then we
have a decision to make, but nine seconds to get there.
It really does not look good for case.

Speaker 3 (52:16):
Absolute insanity thought it was a get right opportunity on
a Monday night that Jacksonville would the defense had been
living large, that this would be the equalizer with all
those weapons back from Mahomes. You got the run game,
jump start. I guess that's the best thing. He hit
him as if it were one of those throwing competitions.

(52:38):
Never looked for the football on the crossing route there
as you're watching. That was Hollywood Brown who never looked
for the ball home the middle had him Mahomes tries
it are a short slant over the middle of Hollywood Brown,
who doesn't turn around, so a little bit of miscommunication
hits him in the neck and the ball hits the

(52:58):
ground incomplete. So now seven seconds left. The Chief's clearly
looking to just get a few yards here. They get
it up to Travis Kelcey, who gets tackled around the
thirty yard line. So now it's Hail Mary time for
the Chiefs with two seconds left to go down thirty
one twenty eight.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
It is a first down though for the chief So
you know, if something happens here on this, you know
they are going to get another play if there's a penalty.
But first down for Kansas City. Not a lot you
can do right now, except just.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
Saying if you're a fantasy owner, you got another catch
and knock a few more yards out of Travis.

Speaker 6 (53:31):
Kelse Well, there is something they can do. What can
they do? They can wear this out.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
You know, they showed the replay of that pass to
Hollywood Brown a couple minutes ago, and he had some
yards in front of him, but that just it right,
he had right, He probably soft zone. He probably gets
maybe close to midfield if he turns around in time,
but you don't know if it did. Mahomes throw what
early not looking forward depending on where that play was
going to because it was a soft zone. So this
is going to be the final play for the Chiefs

(53:59):
to try to avoid falling to two and three on
the season.

Speaker 3 (54:02):
Yeah, that was that was something. Well, we'll be picking
that up in post. That's kind of like bunting when
you need a big not being able to communicate there.
But for Trevor Lawrence, I mean, the big prime time
effort to at least at this point it looks like
you're gonna vanquish the almighty Chiefs. That everybody was jumping back,

(54:24):
you know, on that jump to conclusions Matt, that things
were gonna go right and they were gonna go on
a tremendous run. Instead, you're holding serve your first Monday
night football game in Jacksonville, wearing those glorious uniforms of
the Smith McCardell and Mark Brunell, Fred Taylor kind of years.

Speaker 6 (54:43):
Not so mighty though, when they don't get the calls
there at the end.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
Right, Yeah, they're facing a big first and fifteen now
from their own twenty five yard line with three seconds
left to go. You gotta think this is gonna do it,
barring a miracle for Kansas City. Don't forget you miss
