Speaker 2 (00:22):
Let's give this part. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Hello, welcome in side, Happy Monday, the Jason Smith Show
with my bes friend Mike Harmon. Yeah, let's go. For
over forty years, tire Act's been open. Customers find the
right tires for how what, where. They drive ship fast
and free backed by free Road, has protection with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire Act dot Com

(00:50):
is the way tire buying should be. Well, here we
are Monday Night football, exactly how we thought it would go,
accept not at all. Early in the third quarter it
has been all Arizona the Cardinals thanks to thirty two
year old Jacoby Brissett, who somehow is the same age

(01:11):
as Dak Prescott. I have a twenty four to seven
lead over the Cowboys. I want to say, the last
time the Cardinals beat the Cowboys on Monday Night Football
was in Jerry maguire, Oh, that's a good poll.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Tidwell has the big catch goes down, you know, Jerry
and fun.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, I think that's the last time they won on
Monday to beat the Cowboys Monday Night Football with jerrym
and that's yeah. Well, the heat was on TJ. The
heat was on Glenn Fry to give Rod Tidwell that
next new contract. But yes, it has been all Arizona.
The Cowboys only points tonight on a block punt recovered

(01:54):
in the end zone for a touchdown. It has been
an absolute debacle for the Cowboys so far. So now
with the offense being what they've shown so far this year. No,
they're not out of it. It is the Cardinals. But
this is an absolute debacle for the Cowboys so far.
A day ahead of the trade deadline, Jerry Jones intimated
that the Cowboys may have already made a trade.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
We'll get to that in a couple of minutes.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
But here they are needing a step to show, hey,
we're really good. We're a five hundred team. We're four
to four and one at the deadline. Let's go get
somebody might not win the division, but we're a playoff team,
we're a wildcard team. We could make some noise. We
can make improvements with a couple of tweaks defensively, and
this is the game you're putting out there.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
So far through the first two and a half quarter.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
Just a dismal effort overall. We watched Jacoby Bursett marching
them up and down the field. Marvin Harrison Junior, who's
been on the side of the milk cartons for a
lot of the season, a lot of drops, a lot
of inconsistency. They've been able to go to him early
and off in Eberflus's defense with no response. Obviously missing
Trevon Diggs in the defensive back field. Still some questions

(03:02):
as to what all went down there, but he's not there.
Bland his back and healthy doesn't matter against that zone.
They've been carving it up and Brissett hasn't seen much
pressure at all. Go figure, So maybe there was a
pass rusher. Maybe they should have executed that trade and
got the guy on the field tonight, cause sure, well,
well right now you got nothing.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
If the trade was from Marvin Harrison junior. They probably
should have made it before tonight. Wow, that's what we
need him for.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
One more game? Okay, one more game.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
But but the the funny thing was off the defensive right,
the special team's touchdown the block punt.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
The They must have gone to that shot of Jerry
in the owner's box for like five minutes, as if
he'd run down on the field and blocked it himself.
All the glad handing and backslapped like yeah, here we comes,
like no, no, no, you still need to actually that
was the only stop you got.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
And then Stephen A. Smith got up and left after
the Jake Ferguson fumble. Right, how about however, it's time
for me to leave.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
You don't fumble. I gotta go take it easy, see
you later. Yep, thanks for stopping by, all right? Do
you have a nice salmon suit on?

Speaker 5 (04:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (04:10):
I mean as TJ.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Clearly, the Cowboys swimming upstream so far tonight against the
Cardinals like this is an absolute embarrassment for the Cowboys
so far, because this is even a Cardinals team where
you can say, hey, here they are. They do this
every year the Cardinals. They have a little bit of
a run or a couple of weeks where they play
out of their shoes and you think, Okay, the Cardinals

(04:34):
are starting to realize their potential. Right, They've been bad
for so long now the car and they do it
every year, and they fool you. They fool you every year.
They think, oh, maybe this is it. But this is
a Cardinal team that look, Jacobe Prissett is starting a quarterback.
They don't have either their top two running backs right
Mary Demricado is leading the team in rushing tonight. Right there,

(04:55):
You know they have guys on this team outside of
Marvin Harrison Junior. Okay, Traye mcbrods with the top tight
in the NFL. But still, as you said, Marvin Harrison
Junior hasn't been great so far in his career. He's
kind of been stopping go. He hasn't flashed as much.
But this is a Cowboys offense that had kind of
a down week against Denver last week, which you kind
of get, all right, Denver's defense is really good. But

(05:16):
this is your home on Monday Night football and you're
about to take a field goal to bring you within
two scores of the Cardinals like that, This is an
absolute embarrassment for the Cowboys at a time, just when
I think even I don't want to say the most
staunchest disbelievers, but even people that are doubting the Cowboys
would stop and say, well, offensively, they're really good. And boy,

(05:38):
I could see if they add a couple of pieces
on defense, maybe it gets better. They can catch lightning about.
And then you watch this, you go, oh, no, no, no.
The Cowboys there who we thought they were the cat
They are who we thought they were.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Defensively giving you everything you thought they would be. And
then so I mean that they've been deplorable. On this
last possession that ends in an Aubrey field goal for
the Cowboys to make it twenty four to ten, Dak's
got the tight end over the middle, too high, too high.
He's not eight feet tall. Just because you were walking
around your neighborhood during the Halloween season seeing your ten

(06:11):
foot skeletons and jack skeleton's all over the place. That
ain't how high your guy can go and get it,
so they end up having to settle for a field goal. Defensively,
you're looking at Arizona giving up twenty two a game
that's top twelve in the NFL, and they're getting healthy
on that side of the ball.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
To your point, they've always scared you. Normally it's an.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
Early flash from Kyler Murray in company, and then about
mid season it falls apart and this chase he lose
Benson and Connor early. Here's a question I'm gonna ask you,
and this is for all of you out there, if
you know, you know, Marvin Harrison said that he didn't
really like the offense and was really disappointed in the
offense being run in Arizona.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Not Marvin Harrison, junior Marvin Harrison.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
So do you think that there do you think there
was a concerted effort, given the history of Marvin Harrison,
to get his son the ball the day.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
I will say this, anytime a wide receiver or a
relative uh says they want the football, you give it
to them, right Like, anytime that happens, you get them
the football, good things happen. I'm a firm believer at
that that when a guy says, or a guy's dad
who happens to be great wire receiver says, get me
the football, you get it to them, right, Because that
always seems to work out. Right, guys asked for it,

(07:21):
you get to them it works out. Okay, you just
kept Marvin Harrison.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
I'm gonna give you.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
I'm gonna give you credit, you know, I mean it's
it's Marvin Harrison.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
But I'll give you the no.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
I'll give you this hot take off the off the
bat here, right, because we'll get into this over the
course of the night tonight. Right, Jacoby Brissette's been okay
tonight so far, Right, He's he's been. We always expected
Kobe while he's been one of the best backup quarterbacks
in the NFL going on a decade. Right, you know,
he's not someone that's gonna come in and suddenly be
the backup that leads you to the promised Land or
someone worthy of a big contract, but someone who come

(07:55):
in and play pretty well. I know the deadline is tomorrow,
so it's a good time to have this conversation. Obviously
it's not going to happen. But you know we talked
last week that boy, if the Dolphins could, they should
move to a tongue of Iowa because it's just not
working out and both sides need a fresh start for Arizona.
If they could, I would trade Kyler Murray. You've seen

(08:16):
the best of Kyler Murray. How much long you're gonna
wait for Kyler Murray? Oh no, eventually, k Kyler Murray's
been in the league a minute now. This is not
year two or year three you're looking for. Kyler Murray's
been in the league for a while.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
Now.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
When you're getting into when you've passed the year five
and you're closing in, well, we're getting closer to the
ten year anniversary than the beginning of the of his career,
you get that, Okay, what he's done through a bunch
of different offenses, different styles, different inventions of the team,
different playmakers that he's had, and you're still a team

(08:50):
that has not cut through and you've been to the playoffs.
Once you've seen the best of Kyler Murray, are you
really suddenly going to this year catch lightning at a bottle?
Kyler Murray's going to turn the start. He's not not
that he doesn't have value, because there's systems for everybody,
but what you've seen with Kyler Murray in Arizona, when
you've seen him this long and you're still a team

(09:12):
that is rebuilding, you know he's not the long term answer. Now,
could he go to another team and another more savvy
quarterbacks coach can get the best out of one thing.
We know there's a system for everyone, right, system for
Daniel Jones, system for Gino Smith, system for Sam Darnold.
Clearly there's a couple of systems. For Sam Darnald. The
Jets just didn't have either of them, but Baker Mayfield

(09:33):
system for him. But for Kyler Murray, it's you know, okay,
I think there's other teams in need of a quarterback
that can say, okay, twenty eight, twenty nine years old,
we can go in on Kyler Murray. I got I
know he's not a bigger quarterback, but I know how
to get him outside the pocket. I know what we
can do here. He's got a stronger arm than Tua. Yeah,
we can make it work with Kyler Murray and for

(09:53):
the Cardinals. Quite honestly, you should hit the reset button, right.
I mean, how many times, how many coaches have you
go on through? How many offensive systems, how many playmakers?
And Kyler Murray is still someone that Yeah, if you
finish close to five hundred, it's a success. Not that
you're blaming Kyler Murray, but this guy's getting paid a
lot of money where you've seen, You've seen what he

(10:14):
can do, and it hasn't gotten you any place, So okay,
you can do this with somebody else. And obviously Jacoby
Brissett comes in and the offense is functioning at a
pretty high rate. Now this is the Dallas Cowboys defense
where you, me and Frostburg could get on them. But
you still see it's not like Jacoby Brissette has come
in to play the last few weeks and the Cardinals
offense looks like Syracuse without Steve Vangeli. They can't even

(10:36):
get five yards. Like you've seen an offense that without
playmakers is still able to move the ball up and
down the field. With your best players being hurt and
your most talented players being question mark, still you've still
been able to move the football. So what are you
paying him for? Why are you going?

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Correct?

Speaker 1 (10:50):
He's obviously not someone that's gonna suddenly all right now
we're taking off from Kyler Murray again, he's been in
the league too long now for that to happen.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
Well, I think the biggest thing is, as it's currently structured,
you're not getting that next evolution out of Kyler Murty because,
let's face it the injury is amounted and piled up
in this latest one of foot injury that still keeps
him out. Little chitck cannery with the injury report as
they work through the week. He's good, he's good. Well,
maybe he's not, and then well he's not gonna start,

(11:18):
but he may be available. We'll see, Like you might
as well find them the hundred grand that you did
the Ravens, because that was a joke too. But all
of this to say, is he gonna be He's not
gonna get any better the way you've utilized him, Right,
He's got to evolve as a player, because that thing
that made him special, that turbo speed, whether he was

(11:39):
Sonic the Hedgehog or whatever fat wiley coyote or whatever
fast animated character you want to ascribe to him, that's
not gonna be part of his game here in short order,
coming through all of the lower body injuries that he's had,
and particularly a foot injury, you think for the second
half of the season he's gonna be able to scramble
the same way. There's no chance, right, that's already gone.

(12:00):
Forget about the other side of it, you know, in
terms of the depth of passing. We talk about when
Tuas said the quiet part out loud of not being
able to see Jalen Waddle. Well, that's been the what
all of us out here in the world have watched
with Kyler Murray on throws he doesn't make in red
zone and short yardage situations. So yeah, it would probably

(12:20):
be best to go find a QB guru to take
him to that next level and for Arizona to lean
in on what they've got with Sweat and his defense,
Gleas Campbell, who's one hundred and forty eight years old,
and whatever else this offense is. Because you got McBride,
you got Harrison Junior. You got two key pieces to
what your next iteration is. Wait, he's been in the

(12:41):
league since twenty nineteen. His first three years you thought
Waite he's gonna be something special. His first three years
were good, all kind of the same, but they were
good and then but he really hasn't been at that level.
You're going back to twenty twenty one. Man, This is
is not twenty twenty three. You're going back four plus
years to the last He was a good quarterback when

(13:02):
he was young and ascending at twenty four. Now Okay,
he's been around, he's twenty eight. He's not been that guy.
He's had injury issues, he's had.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Trouble stay and when he's played, he's been just okay.
I really don't know how you consider and say, all right,
we're gonna continue to build behind Kyler Murray. Just get
out from under his money and start over off and
start over offensive.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
Well, I just look at it from the perspective, Yeah,
get away from the money. You gotta figure that out.
It's funny money that he got that second deal. But
he's played seventeen games once. That was last year. It's
the only right, Yeah, right, there were parts of games
where he had to leave and didn't roll through twenty
one and eleven. Okay, that's fine. Nearly four thousand passing yards,

(13:45):
it's great. Seven point one in attempt is an awful
But is it transcendent?

Speaker 3 (13:50):
No? And now we're back on the shelf once again.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Kyler Murray should be another not by tomorrow, but hey, Tua,
Kyler Murray should find new teams. Oh you know, Justin
Frosburg's back at work tonight. When you hear that song,
we got, I promise you we have big stuff on

us on the hotline, nobody better, longtime friend of the show,
Odyssey Washington Post one oh five seven, the fan of Baltimore.

(16:43):
Want to bet on Twitter at Jason Lockin for it
is Jason locking for what's happening?

Speaker 5 (16:48):
Man?

Speaker 3 (16:48):
How are you?

Speaker 5 (16:50):
What's going on? Gentlemen? Just from one sweat to another,
one sweat to another? What we do at? Want to
bets what we do?

Speaker 1 (16:57):
So you're saying your sweat, so you bet something? You
had a prop bet with Josh sweat tonight. Is that
what you're saying?

Speaker 5 (17:02):
No, I always ended up sweating a Landry Chemt absolute
garbage time three with like twenty seconds left to get
the NIXT to one in nineteen points even though they
sort of had one hundred and thirty nine points against
the Wizards. And now we need a little finally want
to drink it. But now we need a little something
else ode of Jacoby Bissett. And it'll be a uh
an Arizona to not have a horrible collapse here and

(17:25):
will be a it would be a very very very fruitful.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
Night all right, well, well what do you make so far?

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Here's the Cowboys who are completely throwing up on themselves
tonight at home, the day before the deadline, where you
want to show, yes, make a trade, make us better, and.

Speaker 5 (17:40):
This is what we gets what they always do. This
is why I mean again, game ain't over. But I
really liked Arizona money line tonight because this is when
this is when Arizona, especially without Kyler Murray, shows you, hey,
we're not total garbage, like that's in their DNA. And
this is when Dallas shows you know, we are total garbage,
like this isn't the Jets, this isn't the Bengals defense,

(18:02):
Like we're playing a real defense and we've got no
defense and we're lucky or sorry, we're unlucky. Kyler Murray's
not playing and the better quarterback is and they're getting embarrassed.
But this is completely on brand to them as well.
You know, the idea that they're a pass rusher away

(18:22):
is it's farcacle in so many levels, beginning with the
fact that they traded the best pass rush in the
league for the season starting you know, or top to
or top three this year. I mean, you want to
say Garrett's better than m okay, Like you're not gonna
tell me Watts better than him this year, like Hutchinson
had the slow start. I mean, he's looking really good lately,
but he was still coming off an injury at the

(18:44):
time Jerry traded Parsons. So no, they're a joke. And
look but Jerry won. He's got buffoons in the box
with them, you know who will bloviate and say whatever
ridiculous does he wants to be. There are shots of
him instead of shots of his sideline where he is
getting embarrassed. He's created headlines over a fake news and

(19:04):
a trade that's not saving any damn season. This season
was over before it started, So is there a trade?

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Jay?

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Like why would he say we've made a trade and
yet we will we don't know anything about it? Like
like this this is unless he's saying we made a
trade and he's talking about Michael Parsons a couple of
months ago, Like why would he say that.

Speaker 5 (19:22):
I guess he's got something globally agree to, you know,
a gentleman's and maybe he's got a couple other things
and he wants to announce them all at once. I mean, come,
on why would you pick a fight with Diggs before
the season started, Why would you pick a fight with
Parsons before the season started? Like why is he always
putting his foot in his mouth? Like the bottom line is,
though it's your him. He created a whole subplot to

(19:44):
this show that in the show being a football game,
that for him is really just reality televisions. So even
if they crept their pasts tonight, which during the process
of doing he's created this secondary plot that's got you know,
everybody playing mystery sleuth and trying to figure it out
as this that's going to like as if even if
that happens, it's going to change the end result of

(20:07):
this reality show, which is the Cowboys don't go to
the playoffs. The Cowboys are the lesser than the Cowboys
from a competitive standpoint, are an answer thought.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
Absolutely true.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
As we look at the slate from this weekend, some
oddities that popped up. I mean, Pittsburgh had a defense
for a day, I guess challenge everybody's manhood.

Speaker 5 (20:30):
Well you know it's still they still gave up. I mean,
m here four hundred yards now, Look, just turnovers is
great and anytime you're a part of that you get it,
you know, you get it a gold star. But I
mean the pup return was ridiculous. A couple of the
Jones interceptions were ridiculous. The wats that thought at the

(20:56):
fifty online early in the game was huge and change
the momentum of the game. And that's off for that.
But do you know what the Pittsburgh's two has had?
Like two hundred and twenty seven yards a total offense? Yes, sir,
you know they averaged three point seven yards per play
at home with the season on the line. How do
you how do you get three point seven yards per
play in the NFL in the year you know, twenty

(21:18):
twenty five when every rule is gone, you know, to
help the offense. So, I mean, I'm not gonna sit
in and tell you that was a tour to four.
How do you get five sax fen six takeaways at
home and still may fall a one score game? How's
that happened? How is that possible?

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Jason Locking for our guest Jason Smith Mike Harmon live
from the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right now, before
we get to the trade deadline, coming your way, uh
Commander's head coach Dan Quinn, Hey, you know fell on
the sword today and said my fault, I should have
taken Jaydon Daniels out of the game late that ended
with him dislocating his left elbow. And you know, I'm
glad he said it, But you know when when he says,

(21:57):
that's on me, I just got away from me. I
look at I go from three thousand miles away when
it's a thirty eight to seven game in the fourth quarter. Yeah,
and you have a running quarterback that likes to get
out there to make plays like it's not he doesn't
take a genius to go Okay, it's not happening for us.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
Let's make sure it keep my quarterback healthy.

Speaker 5 (22:14):
Now here's the other part of the two. He just
returned from this second injury absence in the year, so
like he just came back from an injury that knocked
him out of the Dallas game, and in the Dallas game,
he had just been back for about a game and
a half from a previous injury. No, it's negligence, like

(22:34):
when you reach the point in time when you start
punting rather than going for it down however many scores
that is in the second half. Whenever you reach that
point that calculus whether for some teams it will be
three scores by a certain point or four scores by
a certain point. When you get there and you start
doing that, then it's time to pull everybody you can

(22:56):
pull off that field. Who you think is an absolute bluetship,
different on either side of the ball. And I look
the real question here for me ultimately, and I don't
think it correlates directly it is, but it still makes
no sense. Why are the practice squad players not available?
Why are there not sixty five guys so it makes
you easier to get not just the quarterback off the field,

(23:18):
but more guys off the field. I don't understand the
idea of how everybody's under the same salary cap and
everybody has the same number of players available to be up,
whether that's sixty five or whatever. But why are there
game day in actis? But what point is that serving anymore?

(23:42):
And then you've got a whole practice squad which you
keep expanding on top of the game day and active
all who are being paid to watch that game some
varying degree of scale, to watch that game instead of
playing it.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
I don't understand that, Jase, take me back there in Baltimore.

Speaker 4 (23:59):
Are people starting to believe even the greatest roster ever
assembled after the Dolphins.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
Yeah, I don't know about that. I mean they're still
the D line is a joke, Like that's not a
D line that's gonna win in the playoffs or probably
come all that close to winning the playoffs. Uh. You know,
they added a pass rusher today from Tennessee. You know,
he's better than thirty six year old cal van Noy,
and he's better than anything else they have. I'm not

(24:28):
sure he's better than the Dape Alway, who's just traded
away to get a safe right, like you always got
four sacks with Chargers. So yeah, I don't think Uh,
I don't think they're gonna win the trade deadline. They're
not going to pay the kind of prices that other
people are gonna pay for two players, you know who

(24:49):
could really move the needle. They're gonna add their They've
got to add a depthy tackle. They could probably use
a depth offensive lineman too. But uh yeah, I think
it's it's a it's a poor defense that will be exposed.
They might be exposed by J. J. McCarthy this week,
like you know, going on the road is a little different,
and this isn't gonna be Tua and you know McDaniel

(25:12):
trying to get fired. And two it can't throw the
ball thirty yards downfield. So we'll see. You know, everybody
told me that the Steelers couldn't beat the Colts and
that the Ravens. You know, we're going to just be
They're gonna for three weeks from being first place in
the division. We'll say all.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Right now, speaking of moving forward, we talked about the deadline.
We've heard the names out there. Breese Hall is a
popular name, Trey Hendrickson all popular names. What are you hearing?
What do you think? Give me a couple of things. Hey,
I can see this happening tomorrow. I heard this might happen.
What do you got?

Speaker 5 (25:44):
But Dolphins are far from done. I mean, Dolphin are
gonna make at least a couple more trades. And I
think Chubble is gone as well. I think genel'lano absolutely
could be gone. If they could find a way to
eat enough of Fitzpatrick's salary to make him palatable to somebody,
that'll happen. Yeah, I mean the Bengals. I don't think

(26:06):
it's just Hendrickson, and I've been reporting for a while
it's going to be traded. You know, Logan Wilson is gone,
Taylor BRIT's gone. I think they'll trade an offensive lineman
if there's somebody there who you like, Uh, you know,
the Raiders, what are we doing here? I mean they
keep asking for like you know, they're telling everybody, we're
not trading may or the other trade in. They're telling everybody.

(26:30):
You know, the price for Jakobe Myers has been ridiculous,
like trying to get the equivalent and of high three
or a low two. That's not going to happen. But
I think he's going to be gone. You know, Kansas
City is very Tansas City in Buffalo. I know Buffalo's
passed US went off yesterday. But they're looking for defensive
linemen and uh, you know, I suspect they find I

(26:54):
suspect they each find one.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
So the last one, because you know this is the
name in Frostburg wants to keep asking me because maybe
it could happen for the Chargers. Do you see Brestall
getting Delta?

Speaker 7 (27:06):
No?

Speaker 5 (27:06):
Sure, yes, yes, I think Brisall. I mean they've been
asking for one for their pass rushers. And I think
the Henderson trade will will be pretty talent because I
you know, if they get two in something else, which
is I think what they're going to get, because that
two is going to be pretty low. Then you know
the Jets trying to get a one for Johnson. I

(27:27):
think that will crystallize for even that buffoon Woody Johnson,
that hey, that's not happening. So I think they could
fall on line and trade one of their edge defenders.
But you know, as of a few hours ago before
I went to the Maryland basketball game, from what I
was being told, they were still asking for a ridiculous attime.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
He's on Twitter at Jason Locking for that is at
Jason lock and for a Wanta bet Odyssey one oh
five seven the fan in Baltimore, Washington Post Jay as
always appreciate it, Man, Thanks enjoying the deadline.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
We'll to you next week, good Man, bring it home.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
I gotta be honest, I am really surprised, and I
fully expect an active deadline tomorrow. I am really surprised
we didn't get at least a a greasing couple of trades,
like a couple of trades that grease the kids that
start things for tomorrow, Like we didn't say, hey, we
need this, let's make sure we get it tomorrow. Right,

(28:24):
the Bills would say, hey, we need a wide receiver,
even though it did, you know what, we need something here.
The Chiefs, Hey we need a running back.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
You know what. The Jets want a third for Breese Hall.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Let's go make that move, right, Let's do it before
we have to worry about that, Like what are we doing? Like,
are we really gonna say, oh, hey, we'd love to
give up a fourth for Briesaw Brisall might be able
to get you to the super Bowl. Okay, we'll give
a third round pick for Breesaul. Like, I'm really surprised
it wasn't one or two of those trade today by
team saying, you know what, we need to be bold.
We want to go get this guy. Let's go get
this guy. I mean, we've seen a bunch of trades.

(28:55):
Maybe not the marquee names is Jason alluded to. I
mean you're seeing little moves here in there. And obviously
maybe the Ravens would like mister Away back after his
four sex and terrorizing imposing quarterbacks.

Speaker 4 (29:09):
What are you gonna do? You win some you lose them?
But all that to say, you know, it's the the
waiting game of who's most desperate, maybe waiting for the
last throws of this week nine to finish. Right the Cowboys,
maybe they've got some things on contingency, Well we'll do
this if we win or we don't if we lose.

(29:30):
I mean those kind of things for them specifically. But yeah,
from Miami, you just fired your GM who's pulling the
trigger on the next seven or eight deals as you
was able to fire Brian Kelly and they didn't even
have a full time guy running the school. Yeah, No,
that's there's a lot going on. The chancellor, that's just day.

(29:51):
You got a chancellor, then you got the governor who
gets to pick the board.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
Who that in the house that Jack built.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
All that to say, you've go a bunch of these
squads that I think you're trying to assess where the
marketplace needs to be at these specific positions for the
Jets you're holding out. You got Isaiah Davis. Just just
let Breise Hall go for Jacoby Myers. The guy's been
wearing a sign that says trade me insteady on the
back of it.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
You talk about a guy who has not been Hey,
I want to step up and show other teams what
they're getting. He has been to keep running him out
on the field. He has been just a guy for
like a month and a half. I mean, yeah, hey,
you want to get dealt Okay, show teams that that
you're talented. It's an alligator, go after the like yeah,
come on, exit out about a Fresco exit swollen down

(30:38):
the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon.
Well more in the deadline coming up in a bit,
but right now, time to find out what's trending in
the wide world of sports and Martin Weiss, who has
the latest on the game that's got all our attention
right now. The Knicks blowed victory over the Wizards.

Speaker 6 (30:52):
No boy, listen Eastern Conference matchups in November automatically top
of the building.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
You are exactly I know, I know.

Speaker 6 (31:01):
I mean, when you can't get interested in in a
little trade like Jalen Phillips to the Eagles from the Dolphins,
Jason Ormont, Jamont Jones from.

Speaker 8 (31:09):
From the Moving from the Titans, that can't.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Yeah no, wait wait, yeah no, I worry more about Hey,
here are the guys we've heard about what are the
big teams making deals? What are the Cowboys going to do?
What arero That's I'm like, okay, let let's see something.
I mean, Eagles trading is just a Monday night. Yeah,
I mean, that's just what I mean. How we do
the Eagles are like Eagles are like the Pirates. We're
just gonna make trades all the day trading.

Speaker 8 (31:30):
Come on, they think trades are half off on Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Yay, we made a trade. It's like they're like Fantasy own.
I made a trade in like a week and a
half in Fantasy. I gotta make a deal. I gotta
do something. They got new guys on.

Speaker 6 (31:40):
There, well, the Dallas Cowboys. They gotta do something. And
quickly it's twenty four to four. It's twenty four to ten.
I'm sorry, with just under six minutes left in the
third quarter. Jacoby Brissette starting quarterback. Now, it was noted
that Jacoby Brissette was going to start earlier this week.

Speaker 8 (31:55):
That's not news. It is news.

Speaker 5 (31:57):
Though.

Speaker 8 (31:57):
Kyler Murray was listed as questionable up until.

Speaker 6 (32:00):
About the time the game time, active and inactive list
came out about an hour before kick The reports up
until that point where he was questionable could have a
role in the offense at kick As soon as the
list came out he was inactive. That interesting, like Mike
Harmon alluded to earlier, So something similar with Lamar Jackson
last week or a few weeks ago. We'll see how
that plays out for the Cardinals going forward. But right now,

(32:23):
as they're in the fourth quarter here, Jacobe Rissaid with
nineteen for twenty eight two forty three through the year
and two touchdowns. One of those passing touchdowns is to
Marvin Arison Junior, who's got seven catches ninety six yards
and a touchdown reception. Dak Prescott fifteen for twenty eight
one seventy eight through the air, Dallas. His only touchdown
today came on a block punt return, so good for

(32:45):
them on that one. Offense has been leaving must to
be desired, including Brandon All you were missing a sixty.

Speaker 8 (32:50):
Eight yard field goal as they have expired.

Speaker 6 (32:52):
Jayde Daniel Soferny dislocated elbow against the Seahawks.

Speaker 8 (32:56):
He's out in definitely.

Speaker 6 (32:57):
Marshawn Lattimo or Tory's acl the Commanders lou more than
just the game on Sunday Night. Chargers standout left tackle
Joe Alt He's going to be out for the rest
of the year. Where they left tackle, I mean a
left ankle injury. Against the Titans, the Packers tight Nantucker Craft,
he tore his ACL. He's out for the year.

Speaker 8 (33:13):
CJ.

Speaker 6 (33:14):
Stroud remains in concussion protocol as he took that shot
taking the slide yesterday. Two games in action right now

to eighty three with three minutes left in the third quarter.
Jokich with a twenty four point ten assist double double.
Russell Westbrook leading the Kings with twenty points, and then

on second and nineteen that gives the Cardinals a first
down near midfield. Will have more on this coming up,
but look, today was parade Day for the Dodgers. They
win the World Series eleven innings a game, seven thriller,
twenty six million people watching this game. One of the
greatest World Series games you'll ever see. And this is
a series now that had two of the greatest games

(36:16):
you'll ever see. Yeah, and half the country in Canada.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
You know, but couple of.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
Things that you haven't heard in the last forty eight hours. Okay,
because I want to be honest, here go back. We'll
start in the eleventh inning of this game, which results
in the Dodgers double play that won it. I really
should never have to talk again about why the bunt
is something that teams should just eradicate from their offensive strategy.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
How many times do.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
I have to say the bunt is a is a
relic of a bygone era and it doesn't work nearly
as much as you think it does. The idea of
a bunt and moving a guy over for a run
always sounds greater, but doesn't really work nearly as much
as you think it does. How many times in this
postseason if we talked about a bunt where teams try

(37:03):
to execute it where it's gone so awful for them.
Sure it hasn't worked, they don't get a run, and
they wind up losing a game or a series.

Speaker 5 (37:11):
Right.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
The Blue Jays get a leadoff double from Vlad Junior
to start the bottom of the eleventh after Will Smith's
home run took all the air out of the Rogers
center right But here's Vlad Junior, who, in another lifetime,
another era, another world, would be the World Series MVP.
He doubles to lead off the inning. He is standing
on second base like a bleeping king. Okay, follow me, Nope,
we're gonna have Isaiah kind of filife, a sacrifice bunt,

(37:36):
and we're gonna give the Dodgers an out.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
Why are you doing that? You give the Dodgers an out?

Speaker 5 (37:41):
Right? You have?

Speaker 3 (37:42):
You had the tying run at third.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Okay, that's great, but Vlad Junior is not that fast,
and you really need to make sure you're hitting a
fly ball off of Yamamoto. You gotta make sure you're
doing that. What's it tough to do off of Yamamoto?
Hit that fly ball?

Speaker 5 (37:56):
Why?

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Because of his cutter? Is our speed? I don't under
stand the strategy behind bunting there. You have a leadoff
runner at second base and you're saying, we're, okay, trying
to play for this one run to tie this game.
And what happens? You wind up putting another runner on
get a game ending double play. It's over two chances
from third or three chants from second base, and don't

(38:18):
you want a beginning at that point. Aren't you thinking bigger?
If you're the Blue Jays. Hey, lead off batter, we're
a double. We're tying this game. Now we're thinking about
winning it. Vlad Junior coming home. This is a fade
a complete Now the Dodgers are feeling way? Do we
need to keep Yamamoto out there? What do we just
give a leadoff double? No, we're gonna bunt and we're
gonna give the Dodgers an out, and we're gonna give
them a chance to get their feet under them again.

(38:38):
We're gonna give Yamoto a chance to who is pitching
on twenty one hours rest. We're gonna give them a
chance to get to relax after giving up that double.
And now we're gonna put everything on the next batter.
And I really I fail to understand the bunch strategy. Yes,
it used to work in Major League Baseball when guys
could pull off bunts and teams could get guys. But

(39:00):
it's not that era anymore. And I mean it, it's
not that the bunt never works. We've seen once or
twice this postseason, I've seen it work out. But how
many times have we seen it not work out? In
high leverage high pressure, playoff situations where bunchs have resulted
in teams going home. Our season's over because we couldn't
execute a bunt, right. We've seen that so many times,
and yet here's another example where hey, we actually got

(39:22):
the bunt down. We did the play we wanted, did
it work out? Did it work out. It's not just
about that play. It's about will this bunt result in
a run? And and and and teams forget that. It's
not about getting the bunt like. It's not just hey,
if we execute this bunt a run hits the scoreboard. No,
you have to number one execute it, which you've seen
teams have trouble doing, and they pop up or get

(39:43):
out and all of a sudden that inning's over. Or
hey we at the run of the third base. Oh no,
we still got to get him in. They didn't get
him in. Bunting is such a bad proposition. Now again,
I always go back when Billy Bean and Brad Pitton moneyball,
when he says, don't be a hero, just pick up
the ball throughout the first base, Just get just get
the out. If they're giving us an out, take the out.
Sometimes the Dodgers can run the wheel play but it's

(40:04):
it's such a bad bargain now, but yet teams still
want a bunch.

Speaker 5 (40:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
Gusually you get the this need and the flair for
the dramatic and spectacular. In this particular case, Uh, you're
thinking you're good enough at contact that you're going to
get the fly ball. To your point, not a not
a flyball pitcher. It's about a fifty to fifty proposition
on bad. That ball's bad and in play against Yamamoda,
are you hoping maybe that the splitter gets waight? That's

(40:30):
it's Will Smith behind the plate. I mean, not get
away from it. A reason he's catching every game. He's
eighteen innings. They're not bringing anybody else. Those legs are
gonna need to be replaced.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
Steve Jaker is.

Speaker 4 (40:41):
Not walking through that ball catching the eighteen, then that
is damn right. So that the trust is there any Yamamoto? Uh,
And he's gonna get the ground ball and you're gonna
have a play at the plate. Is that what you
want with Vlad Guerrero Junior on third base? No, it's
a it's a faulty proposition. Watched it as it happened,
and and did one of those discover in waves at
the television obviously for all my Dodger brethren. Here we

(41:06):
broadcast out of Los Angeles. Excitement and just chaos. The
fact that PAJZ and Mikki Rojas oh and Yamamoto being
a throwback to guys from the seventies.

Speaker 3 (41:15):
What's he doing? He's playing long toss? Nobody does that?
What's he bench?

Speaker 4 (41:20):
He doesn't lift weights like all of these things he
pitched yesterday doesn't matter. He wants the ball, Like, how
do you not look at it and say, all right,
finish the job as soon as they give you that
out exit?

Speaker 3 (41:31):
How about a fresca exit?

Speaker 1 (41:32):
Swallowing down The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Carmon Coming up next, more on the Cowboys Cardinals?
Is it getting closer in Big d Plus? You thought
that was something about the World Series? Wait till he
tell you something else about the final play that result
in the Dodgers winning the Title's.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app of.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
The Football Near Midfield. We'll have more on this game
coming up in a few minutes, and wait till we
tell you what Troy Aikman had to say about the
Cowboys early on in this game, talking about Jerry Jones
and making trades and making the Cowboys better. But a
little bit more on the World Series, right, considering look
we're still two days later, still the biggest story in

(42:21):
the world. The Dodgers come from behind win in game
six and Game seven. About all the six seven memes? Now,
the last couple of Black single handedly keeping the six
to seven six seven, He would not let that go.

Speaker 5 (42:33):
No.

Speaker 3 (42:34):
On the plane with Yamamoto, what games did we win?
Six seven? Him and Sasaki?

Speaker 4 (42:39):
What was funny was folks assembled trying to get him
to sign autographs insteady he just decided he was going
to play that game with him. Yeah, no, sign the
ball man. Yeah yeah, yeah, six seven. I signed six
or seven autographs and make me happy.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
But you want to know sign And this is going
to I'm going to tell you something that I guarantee
you no one's talked about with the Game seven of
the World Series play and this gets into the narrative
that I'm gonna tell you the Dodgers winning the World series.
Remember last year, the whole narrative they won, Lazy Yankees, right,
Joe Kelly getting on tell you even though he didn't
play at all, saying, hey, all the other teams we

(43:15):
played were better. The Yankees. Lazy Yankees are bad fundamentally,
base running, bad in the field. Obviously, it was just
a one year anniversary of the of the bad, the
bad inning. You know, Game five for the Yankees last year,
Lazy Yankees bad fundamentally costing the series.

Speaker 5 (43:31):
Right.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
You can say the same exact thing for the Blue Jays,
but people are but I'll tell you why. We'll talk
about a couple of plays here, same exact thing, lazy
blue Jays bad fundamentally, which is why the Dodgers are
walking around having their parade today, and the Blue Jay
just saying.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
Oh, I think I think Connor Fileffel was safe, and
I'll play first of all, he wasn't safe. Wasn't safe.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
It was close, and Will Smith picked his foot up
off the bag on the big play, but he got
us back down. And the great screen red that's been
going around today where they where they cleaned up the
dirt so you could see it's like like like like
one of those things where you know where they can
enhance stuff, like on TV, we're going, hey, enhanced. I
need to see who's face that is? Like in all
the adventure shows and the spot movies.

Speaker 4 (44:14):
Enhance, enhance that that video camera really that great nineteen
ninety four, No it wasn't, but it is.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
Now look who that is. That's that spy we're looking
for enhanced. Right, you can see the screen brab and
clearly his cleat wasn't on the plate, and Will Smith
got his foot back down right, foot came out and
back down, but he's out.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
It was close.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
But you're talking about the Blue Jays now to go
in order here. They had the horrible bass running play
with Barger in the game before, right when he's way
too far off a second base for reasons that make
no sense. You're not scoring right the game ending double
play for the Dodgers with Key k Hernandez and Miguel
Rod thirty feet away thirty and you freeze when you

(44:54):
see Hernandez coming in to catch the ball right like that.
We've talked about that play that you have to know,
you have to have those baseball instincts and no, I
know where this ball is coming down and either he's
gonna catch it, which guys, I gotta get back to
second base, or I'm only gonna get to third if
this ball bounces. And clearly you're not going further because

(45:14):
the runners hanging out a third right, runners hanging out,
He's not going anywhere. You got caught. You made a
bad that's a bad fundamental play. Fundamentally, that's your fault.

Speaker 4 (45:23):
That was an awful play, big epic FAI l extra
love to Mickey Rojas.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
Right, Oh my god, how many big plays did ross
Man come on? But he was our favorite watching in
the entire series. Get it in there now.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
You talk about the next play, right, the Miguel Rojas
play right, the home run to tie it, the play
out at home plate we're talking about with with Kiner
Filefa and his play. Miguel Rojas should never be the
hero that he is, because he should be the guy.
He hit the home run, but the ground ball the
second he loses his balance, he falls to a knee,

(45:57):
he double clutches, and still he throws him out at
home play right, because you see that that ikf is
a foot and a half off the bag at third base.
That is absolutely inexcusable fundamentally, it's awful. Now, is that
in the Blue Jays head going We just lost a
game because of the base running situation when Barger got
doubled off a second base. Yeah, let's not make that mistake.

(46:19):
And Connor Flaifa said after the game, our coaches didn't
want us to get big leads or big secondary leads.

Speaker 4 (46:25):
Okay, well, but I mean that was something contested by
a lot of curt and former ballplayers as well.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
And I understand that.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
But okay, this is him throwing the coaching staff under
the bus where Yeah, but okay, big, Okay, you don't
want an overly large lead or secondaryly not I understand,
but just an average lead. You are sliding it at home,
you are winning the World Series, and your video of
you scoring that run is posted forever and you are immortal.
And instead, I still can't get over the fact that

(46:53):
he is not even a foot and a half off
the base when that pitch happens.

Speaker 8 (46:57):
No, we want to go.

Speaker 3 (46:59):
You really want to get over a line out? That's
what you're thinking.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
That's how bad strategy, that's how bad coaching was is
put in the Blue Jays heads that we really are
scared of this moment right now. We don't want to
line in double play because we lined in double play
last night. Well, you know what, that was Barge's fault.
That's your if that's whatever coaching fault. He should not
have been there, and he's gotta know better, right, same
thing here, here's another base running error the next night

(47:23):
where I'm not saying gotta go crazy and say I'll
screw that, but have a normal lead. At first, I thought, oh, wow,
how do you get that bad of a break home
on a ground ball? But then I saw, oh no,
he's he's like two feet off the third base.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
Yeah him, Yeah, what are you doing? Like what you
cost him the World Series?

Speaker 1 (47:41):
That's a play if this was a regular groundball to Ray,
but I mean ross the ball kind of gets up
on him fast, and he loses his balance and he
faults backward and.

Speaker 3 (47:52):
He double clutches, and stilly gets him out.

Speaker 5 (47:55):
At the place.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
He's a lot still.

Speaker 4 (47:56):
So I'm being out here in Los Angeles, so tuned
into our flag chip A and five seventy l A
Sports covering the everything going on, obviously the parade route
and all the interviews, and it just fantastic coverage. Podcasts
are all up on the iHeart world. But but there
was a bit about him having suffered the recurrence of

(48:17):
his shoulder injury on the play that ended Game six.
So he hits the home run and he's still making
these plays and then well we'll see if he's got
to have his shoulder surgery after all of this.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
I'm done. I'm done, just to do walk away. This
is your Jordan making the shot, pushing Brian Russell down.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
Yeah, I think he's not. He said he wants to
do one more year, but we'll see.

Speaker 1 (48:37):
But but all of that, you know, as you should
tell Mark about I want to go manage and and
to pick pick the minor league team.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
He wants to go manage because pick the minor league team,
you want to go man.

Speaker 4 (48:47):
Yeah, that's gonna end up in the managerial food chain there.
But you know, the the all twenty two obviously tongue
in cheek with what we watch with football, is it
betrays him because he's leaning back towards third as the
ball come in, so loses a step there. To your point,
it's it's a shortly laid off. I feel bad for
him because he's getting absolutely skewered, and he talked about

(49:08):
some of the threats that are coming in because you know,
the low level folks getting involved in all of the commentary. Like,
there was a confluence of a number of circumstances that
led to this in terms of not getting runners over
the bunt that we discussed last hour, like all of
these things, big situational moments that were just fails. And

(49:29):
obviously then you know the home run to Meg, he's
a whole other issue when you talk about, hey, sometimes
it's just his day. You tip the cap, but the
play at the plate, yeah, that'll live forever. Now here's
something a little bit you I told you, I gave
you something different you haven't heard. Here's something a little different.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
About the play that was, of course today's play of
the day and maybe the play of the year so far.

Speaker 2 (49:54):
Here's the O two pitch bounce as well.

Speaker 9 (50:00):
Stop beat the chap you gotta knock come out the
Dodgers stand tall.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
Ben Win backed up at titles.

Speaker 1 (50:10):
Joe Davis on the call. There it is the double
play that ends the game. N he didn't want to
get sued by Rick Flair. You mentioned you mentioned the
All twenty two Okay, now here's a situation. Remember Vlad
Guerrero doubles to lead off the inning, right, they bunt
him over to third base, Barger walks, and now here
comes Kirk hits into a double play. Watch the All
twenty two version of this play, or watch from the

(50:33):
All like the the uh the outfield cam of the
infield during this play. Okay, just tell you lazy Blue Jays,
bad fundamental bass running. Watch this play. Don't watch Kirk,
don't watch Mookie Betts. Watch Vlad Junior at third base.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
Who when the.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
Ball is hit, he starts jogging home, looking back at
the play that's obviously gets it. Steps on second throws
the first game over, vladd Junior never even crosses the plate.
He gets to where the batter's box and just turns
towards the dog after the double play is after the
game is over rights. That's how disinterested vladd Junior was

(51:12):
in running down the line in this watch it. Why
is this a big deal? Because you have seen, Hey,
when a ball is hit, the number one thing the
Dodgers are trying to do is win this game. They
don't want that run to cross. He's running down third
base like I'm just an interested observer of this play. Now,
Mookie Betts gets it, goes to second, goes to first, right,

(51:34):
But let's just say you see where the ball is,
grind it's a bang bang play. Why are you not
busting your ass to score a run. Because let's just
say Mookie Betts catches the ball. What if Miguel Rojas
doesn't get to second, or Mookie Betts is a little
bit further off of the bag than he thinks, or
he stumbles catching the ball and I can't turn to
get the double play. Guess what Mookie Betts is his

(51:54):
momentum is bringing him in towards the plate. He's gonna
throw home, sure, and what's he gonna see? Vlad Junior
just trapesing along down the third base line, looking back
at the play, watching it, instead of busting his ass
to score a run. Now, and he's lucky that that's
not what happened, because could you imagine here's Vlad Junior,
who did everything for this team and everything, and here

(52:16):
he is getting thrown out the plate because he was
watching the play. Legend would have been gutted in that moment.

Speaker 3 (52:20):
You do you look at that?

Speaker 1 (52:22):
That is that is blue Jay base running fundamentally lazy Yankees,
lazy blue Jays. You want to tell, oh, well, the
play a play. That's a play right there that you know.
Obviously I didn't think about it and didn't see it
until I saw that plan. It's like, wow. Vlad Junior
is like like me, I'm like, he's watching the game.
I'm what, I'm three thousand miles away watching the game.

(52:43):
He's ninety feet away watching the game. Like, but that's
something that that clearly could have gone the other way.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
Now, I'm not.

Speaker 1 (52:49):
Saying that every play, Hey what if this way? But
it's a ground ball in the infield, bust. You're asked
to get home. You don't know how it's gonna go.
You have no idea how this play is gonna unfold, right,
you want to fake? Okay, I'm watching what all of
a sudden, Mookie Betts if he turns, bobbles the ball,
or he's got a shot and an easy shot to
get Lad Junior out at home plate, got an easy

(53:09):
shot to get him out at home plate? And then
all of a sudden, whoa, whoa Vlad Junior, whoa, Hey,
Vlad dude, what were you doing?

Speaker 5 (53:16):
Man?

Speaker 1 (53:16):
You cost us the World Series by that by jogging home. Now,
obviously he went to second over to first. But watch
that version of the play and I'll tell you there's three,
just three base running mistakes from the end of Game
six and game seven, six, seven, six, seven, from Game
six and Game seven that illustrate. You want to know
why the Blue Jays loss, why they couldn't close the
Dodgers out, there's your reason right there.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
Well, you go through it right. For the series as
a whole, lot's been made of all right, here's how
many runs this card, Well, nine were in that one inning.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
They didn't do a lot.

Speaker 4 (53:45):
They left a lot of runners on base. Situational hitting
was a disaster. So do you discredit them or do
you show some love to what the Dodgers pitching was
able to do. Blake Snow, who didn't sell as a starter,
comes in in relief and puts up his big moments there.

(54:06):
And obviously Yamamoto you can't say enough about. But yeah,
the base running in in the last two games, and
certainly those several instances that have been outlined here. The
guerrero is interesting, right, just the alternate universe of what happens. Fortunately,
for him will never know.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
I mean, you think about the watch that, well we go,
oh man, he's just kind of I'm I'm an interested observer.

Speaker 3 (54:32):
But think about that becomes legend.

Speaker 4 (54:34):
I mean, beyond the fact that he's now got four rings,
like all of that, and he came up through with
the huge hit in Game six that we chronicled here
on the show Friday night. But like all of that,
all of a sudden he makes that play to get.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
Guerrero at home. In that alternate universe, he's king, yeah,
exit about a Fresca exit swallen Dome? So lazy Yankees,
lazy Blue Jays. There you got, there's your narrative. Lazy
Why the Dodgers have the World Seri Trophy again? Why
they had that big hunk of metal again? And and
they scored more runs in one more games? They gonna
say in that final game, what what happened?

Speaker 5 (55:09):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (55:10):
Five to four?

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Final exit? How about a Fresco exit? Swallowing doub will
have more baseball on the way? But straight ahead, how
about this? How about we get into the epic fail
that was the Dallas Cowboys Tonight on Monday Night Football,
It's a final in Dallas we break it down next
right here, Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio,
