Speaker 2 (00:32):
Let's get this, punies, you're listening to Fox Sports Radio,
but you know that of R.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Man it looked like you know more about it by
the look at your screen?
Speaker 4 (00:45):
What any way you think I know I'm good on TV?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I'm not? Hey, hey, Q.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
How long do you look at the camera before you
make an emotion to like look at the person who's speaking,
so that looks like you're interested in what they're saying.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
What would you count? What's your what's your account?
Speaker 5 (01:03):
I don't really have a count.
Speaker 6 (01:04):
It's kind of a general feel like you you you
usually when you come on, everyone's looking at the camera,
and then as the host or anchor whoever starts talking,
you generally start to turn and look to them to
give them your attention. And then once.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Jonah says it, Jonah stays right in the camera. We
we were well, no, we would do a film review.
He was locked in for sure. I said, Joanas, give
yourself a count like maybe one two seconds, two seconds
at the most, like turn.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Look, you just want to look natural. You don't want
to look naturally awkward. And that's kind of how Jonas used.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Us looked like he was about the fly away.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
I don't mean it to be like rude in any way.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
Jonas is just you, you know, there's some things that
you know, some awkwardness.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Let's see, we just get it all out.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Let's just look.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
I've tried to bring Jonas ound social settings to to
help kind of like break him in, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And that's that's what helps. That's really what helps. If
your souldier does it do.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
If you could be comfortable with awkward environments where you
don't know anyone, that's you could be comfortable on camera
because you're talking to a lot of people who don't
know you.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I'm such a natural introvert, bro. I hate being around people,
but you know what, I make it a point to
be around them so I can like find a way
to find some type of balance in it.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
So I do it.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
You gotta do it, brou instead of always going to
your coffin as soon as the show is over. Yeah,
you know you gotta you gotta get out there man
a little bit.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
You've got to be a day walker. You got to
be a day walker, Jonnas.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
You know, put your gloves on, cover up, and get
out there. No, I appreciate it. You're you're being sarcastic.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
We're trying to help you, dude.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, all we're doing is I appreciate this. And listen,
that's going to be ten dollars without you even what.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Do you mean ten dollars?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
So passive because I mean when I think introvert, I
think guy pointing it his shoes, Like that's what I
think on video.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Right, Yeah, I mean he's he's trying to he's trying
to fire shots.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
You. I'm just saying, like, you know, introvert.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
I can I see the video so I can like
dissect this to her.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I have a whole bunch of them, but I definitely
face my fears of being around people.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
But not the shoot video. I want to see Jonas
staring awkwardly.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I'm gonna hit I'm got that one too.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Listen. I never said I was good at TV? What
do you want from me?
Speaker 3 (03:23):

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Did you get it? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
I did you get it?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
That will break you down, break you down, break it down.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Just a screenshot.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
I mean, oh, it doesn't take I mean, first off,
let's point out the fact that I was.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Not wearing black. That is true. Not you did wear blue.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
So there was not one article of black clothing that's
very sure.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
That was being worn. All right, So it was it's
not that bad.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
And here's here's the thing. In Jonas's defense, everybodyone else
is just looking at everybody.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
But that doesn't mean he's got to be like everybody.
You got to be better, Jonas. You gotta be better,
especially when you know you need to be better.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Looked over. He kind of looked at acknowledge that. Rob
just kind of.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Rob just there. Yeah, Rob, he looks cold. Yeah, we
had some had some issues last night. There were some problems.
But Rob looked like he is half step away from
being sleep.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
You look like you had a big meal, Jonas, like
you ate a lot of food and you're like sitting
here like yeah, oh man, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
A little differently cue yeah this is.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I mean, well, I'll tell you this. I mean, I
don't know about anybody else. I feel great, you know.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
So there's that. So at least we got that accomplished.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
I'm not going that far, all right, I'm not going
that far.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
I mean, so what al right it man, this date age,
I'm the majority.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah, you're right, that's right, Kitty, you're right.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
It is two pros. It is two pros and a
cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio. I think
we're doing radio, not breaking down a some poor TV.
But nonetheless we're doing it live. Yes, so we are
broadcasting live from the tire rack dot com studios. Tire
rack dot com. We'll help you get there an unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road has a protection and over
(05:54):
ten thousand recommended installers. Tire rack dot com The way
tire buying should be so there are some people. I mean, listen,
you guys are trying to get me to stop doing TV.
And there were a lot of people out there that
are trying to get the Jets to stop playing Zach Wilson,
and they finally got their wish yesterday, finally got their wish.
(06:14):
He was benched in the midst of that awful performance
against the Buffalo Bills, where they could get nothing going.
The defense kept holding them to field goals, kept seemingly
making stops, and then ultimately just succumb to the fact
that the New York Jets on offense have nothing to
show for it. Garrett Wilson seems frustrated. Everybody seems frustrated,
so much so that Tim Boyle was brought in and
(06:36):
played quarterback. He also turned the ball over a bunch
of times. Robert Sollas spoke afterwards, the head coach of
the New York Jets, and he talked about when they
can expect a decision to be made as far as
the starting quarterback goes for this week's game on Black
Friday against the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Everything's accelerated.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
You don't have Monday in twosday to dissect and breathe
for a second.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
But we'll be pretty quick with it obviously.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
So what do you guys think? Is it gonna be
Zach Wilson? Is it going to be Tim Boyle? How
we rocking this?
Speaker 6 (07:07):
The tough thing is is who gives them a better
chance to win? Because all you're trying to do at
this point is trying to get to Aaron Rodgers healthy
and playing.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
And meaningful games.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
Because if if you can't get to that point, which
I believe he is going to start practicing December second.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Is that what I saw.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
If you can't get to that point, then he ain't
coming back, and there's no reason to have him come back.
So Zach Wilson, people are gonna hate me for saying
he gives you the best chance to win?
Speaker 5 (07:36):
He does.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
The problem I think is now starting to unfold. And
now this was my biggest concern when Rodgers went down.
As we talked about Hackett then as a play caller.
Now I realized his job has made difficult because the
offensive line of times has been great, and obviously Zach
Wilson he's played better. But you know, this wasn't a
bad example this week. This was probably one of his performances.
(08:01):
So you find yourself now as a play caller calling plays,
You're like, I don't know if it's gonna work or not.
I mean, it should work schematically, we have the matchup,
we have Garret Wilson one on one, or we have
you know, whatever the case may be. But you don't
know if you get the execution portion of it. So
does Tim Boyle give you a better shot than Zack Wilson. No,
(08:21):
But people just want change for change sake sometimes, and
unfortunately for Robert Salah and you know, this staff, they
put themselves in this position. They could have moved on
from Zack Wilson, they could have drafted another guy and
or outside of Tim Boyle brought someone else in. They
could have signed someone else when Rogers went down, traded
(08:43):
for something they chose to do. Nothing, Like, if you
are a frustrated Jets fan right now you have it's not.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Zack Wilson's fault. He's he's been pretty much what he's been.
It was.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
It's the organization's fault for not at any point wanting
to admit Eh, maybe this wasn't what we thought that
we need to address this situation. So the reality is
like that. You could be frustrated. Nathaniel Hackey can be
frustrated Zach Wilson. You should look higher than that, because
ultimately that's who the fingers point to in this situation.
They didn't prepare themselves to get themselves a shot. They
(09:19):
could have signed Wentz who now, isn't there anymore right
playing for the La Rams Like, there's a number of
players they could have went to, and you would have thought, hey,
you know what, maybe it didn't work somewhere else, but
they might give us a better shot than what we
got on a roster right now.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
The Jets did.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Nothing, and that's damning to not do anything at all
to try to figure it out, at least show your
team and your fans that you're trying something to figure
it out. And that's a hit scratcher, It truly is,
(09:54):
because if you didn't know what you have in Zach Wilson,
I hate to say it, you do now definitively. And
it didn't take seeing the bipolar Buffalo Bills spank you
the way that they did for you to realize that.
And it's just been one of those things just seeing
Robert Sala watch it and watch it. You can tell
(10:17):
by his facial expressions that he's not a buyer of
it either, and yet he continues to stick up for
Zach Wilson. He has continued to kind of, you know,
smoothly talk about how things will will work themselves out
the way that they're going to work themselves out, just
not being definitive in terms of trying to, I guess,
(10:41):
salvage their season. And you've had a defense that has
tried to be what they can be to help as
much as they can help, and they're even starting to
kind of get to a point of where they're getting
worn down and they have to deal with the idea
of knowing that we were going want to play our
asses off and to no avail. And as a former defender,
(11:05):
I'll tell you straight out that is not a great
feeling at all.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
I was gonna ask you, have you ever been to
that spot before while the entire pro career and and
at what point are you walking off the field giving
a glance.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Hell, my entire college career.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Had no offense, had players, we didn't have no play
calling in college, and in the pros we had players,
we had no play calling, and and you play your
ass off and you you love your teammates, like more
so in college than in pros. But in the pros,
it's like you get to that sideline and at some
(11:43):
point when you when you continue to go three and outs,
you go three and outs, you know what you start
doing as defenders, You start trying to pump one another up.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Like there's so many.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Explicit, explicit, explicitives that are used talking to one another,
Like you talk to the group like come on, y'all,
like let's cut it to that up, get that out here,
and let's knock these mother efforts out because these are gonna.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Do nothing for us. They're not gonna do nothing for us.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Sow you start getting mad at one you're trying to
pump one another of it. Then they go walk it
off the field. Then you punt the ball and you're
coming and you're looking at them. The one thing I
always hate it, I ain't gonna lie like you.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I'm sorry for this.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I just hate how casual the quarterbacks always looked when
our offense stink. I hated it. I hated the non expression,
just the cool movement, like you know, we can look
at the film like whatever, whatever you're gonna do. I'm
gonna go sit on the bench like and we're out
here fighting for our lives. We're out here struggling. They
(12:56):
have now started to do things that they would never
do if you could score some point. Now we can't
get on balance. Now we don't know what's coming because
they can pretty much do whatever it is they want
to do because our offense isn't challenging them at all.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
So what are we gonna do?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
And that's where your New York Jets defense is and
Robert Salez watched it.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Yeah, here's the issue for quarterbacks.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
Okay, I mean one, you can't play the game too emotional, truth,
because then it's gonna impact a lot of your thought,
pross thinking and everything else on your plate.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Truth.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
But the other thing is is everyone else out around
us is emotional, like everyone Truth, the.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Receivers, linemen sometimes running back, everyone everyone else, the defense,
the defense, you unfortunately have to deal with everyone being
emotional and so.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
You kind of have to be the adult in the
room sometimes. And mind you, you might be internally frustrated
with the play calling.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
True, I'll never forget and tin us I know you'll
remember this. What was it a sudden or Monday night
game with Jay coll when Martz was calling the place
in Chicago.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Oh, I say, we were on today night.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
And what did he what did he? What did he
say after Mart's called it a play? Oh?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I think he said did he say f you? Did
he say like he said something like he mouthed something
like f you or something like that and just blew
the playoff?
Speaker 5 (14:24):
I think I think he might have.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
It might have been like fat you know that word
bombed there?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
He lost it.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
So the point is, it's like a lot of times
we're already having an internal battle of our own, not
only with our own performance, but like dealing with everyone else.
And there's times where, I mean, think about it. We
can throw a perfectly thrown pass, it can get volleyball
set up by the wide receiver, picked off, it goes
on a drop for the receiver. Great, who's the more
(14:54):
damning stat though an interception or drop for a receiver
interception And ultimately, like you can have a battle line,
you can have a bad play caller, you can have
no talent and building separate a wide receiver and who's
gonna get switched if everything's going wrong?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
The quarterback, like your jobs is your job is so
impacted by everyone.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Else on the field, and you can a lot of
times have to take the.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Blame for it, even though altimately it's not always on you.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
So you have to keep your calm through all of that,
because otherwise you would go crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I will say, imagine that in those situations, I wasn't
Alvin Mack tight like that was a good throw.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Brady, hey, Q, that was a good throw.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Bro.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Let's go, y'all, let's get in the ball back.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
Did you're hear the Brett Farv like what he would
always say when he come back after you throw like
one to two or three picks.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
I would have been like, come on on, defense, give
me that ball back.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
I'm gonna And I always think to myself, like how
many people can get how many quarterbacks get away with
saying that the Brett farm right? And I always thought
back in my career, I'm like, why couldn't I have
just labeled myself as a gun like if you could
get the like, oh, he's a gun slinger, though, like
he's a gun slinger. I mean I should have figured
out a way of branding myself that in college, just
(16:05):
so that way, that way you can always he's a
gun slinger, man, Like you just give him that football
back freak he throws, he throws three or four picks,
Just give him that ball. That was I saying, like,
there's some guys who get that there and people like, ah,
he's a gun slinger. Who is so what somebody threw
three or four picks.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
He's gonna eventually kill you.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Bang.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Bang.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Here's the thing is everyone loves a gun slinger, like,
oh yeah, that guy, you know, he could sling.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
That is smart marketing for you're thinking.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
I'm telling you, if you're a quarterback right now and
you're young, just get your mom and dad and he's.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
You mentioned Cutler whatever. Cutler would throw an interception or
a bad one because al yeah, just like everyone would
be like, oh my god, he doesn't even seem like
he cares. He's a gun slinger. By nature. They're careless,
that's what they do.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
I know. But that's the thing. I'm like, why is
it every quarterback by nature?
Speaker 3 (17:00):
That nature? Yes? Yeah, they just didn't brand themselves the
right way. Yeah, But I mean, here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
For Zach though, I feel bad because he has handled
the adversity better than he ever has in his career,
he's really matured and chrome he is, he has been
playing better football.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
This past week was an example of that.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
I kind of do think they ran into a buzzsaw too,
by the way, but versus Buffalo bad spot. Yeah, I mean,
it's like a desperate Buffalo team. They've got to win out,
you know, They've they've got to put together some wins.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
And unfortunately that was the team that they took it
out on.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
The polar Yeah, no doubt, I mean they just they
looked like a championship caliber team last night by Polar man, Like,
what are you doing? Why y'all look like this guys
is all pumped up running through the line of scrimmage
they destroyed. I don't I'm not clear on what the
right tackle's name is. I should be as much as
(17:54):
they was abusing him, he was abused.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Did you see they scrap in the tunnel?
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (18:01):
They did legitimate.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Yeah, but they didn't they didn't get to it. But
they was.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Definitely it was like an NBA fighter, like a legitimate
It wasn't a leg fight.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
No, they didn't get to it to it.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
They they but they was the one, the one defender
for the Jets ran up on the off it looked
like an offensive Michael Clemens, Clemens and Dawkins, that's it.
And Doc Dawkins ain't back down though. Doctors hitting with the.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
U b aiden. But back to the original point, Yeah, like.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
Flacco just signed with the Browns. Flacco was with this
team last year. He got them an improbable win in
Cleveland last year?
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Did he not?
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (18:42):
He did, Like you could have signed Joe Flacco. I'm
just I don't know, man. It's it's so odd to
me how they took this defiant stance that like they
didn't want to. I don't know if they didn't want to,
like like hurt Zach Wilson's confidence, even though we've kind
of already done that with how things have been managed
(19:03):
throughout the course of his career.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
You're just trying to win games at this point.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
This goes back to his rookie season. And I don't
know if we were all three doing the show together,
but I know for sure Brady and I you talked
about it that we found it strange that they didn't
bring in a veteran backup behind Zach Wilson to start
the season, Like, especially with everything that was going on there.
Remember his quarterbacks coach passed away in a bike accident
(19:30):
before the year. Like, there was a lot of situations
that took place with the Jets early on, and it
just was odd that you've got this young quarterback who's
got a small sample size against you, and it was
the COVID year for Zach Wilson, and there wasn't a
thought to, well, maybe, you know, just let him sit
start a veteran we know it, to rebuild and then
(19:50):
we'll go from there. And they threw him out there
with nobody really behind him to try and just in
case anything was going to go wrong, and that's when
they brought in Joe Flacco later in the year. So
it it is odd the way that they've handled and
structured this around Zach Wilson go ahead to rookie.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Yeah, no, I don't, I don't. I don't really have
much else.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
It's just it's just interesting that, you know, people on
the outside are gonna take the frustrations out on Zach Wilson,
but you know, and maybe maybe they're starting to look
at Nathaniel Hackett's play calling and break that down. But
I mean, ultimately it's it's kind of everyone above. It's
it's the front office, it's the head coach, it's it's
the approach that they.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Took with all of this.
Speaker 6 (20:27):
And it's unfortunate because if they lose next week, their
playoff hopes are essentially done. They're they're they're basically elimited.
I shouldn't say, I mean there was. They have a
really small chance of being able to make it. And
so it then makes the excitement of having Rogers come
back makes a question, well, why even rush them to
come back?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Then?
Speaker 5 (20:47):
You know, let's let's not rush this.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Let's make sure he gets to be one hundred percent
healthy and ready to go for twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
That's gonna give them the best chance going on to
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (20:56):

Speaker 4 (22:11):
Two pros and a cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here coming
up in we'll call it less than twenty minutes from now.
From the tire Raq dot Com studios, we are going
to have an FSRI. Irt is a Monday tradition, So
stick around for that we report any issues, injuries, ailments
from a long weekend in the world of sports. So
again that'll be yours here coming up twenty minutes from
(22:33):
now less than twenty minutes from now here on FSR
SO the AFC South. Listen, there's a you know, the
Tennessee Titans are a bad football team. The Indianapolis Colts,
who the hell knows. But here's what we do know.
It is now a two horse race, and those horses
involved the Houston Texans and the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars,
(22:53):
who probably got Trevor Lawrence's best game of the season yesterday,
looked dominant and somehow way even after throwing multiple interceptions.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
C J.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Stroud in the Houston Texans when they beat the Arizona
Cardinals sidebar Arizona with Kyler Murray is fun as hell
to watch. That is a fun team to watch.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
That do be moving so quick off an.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
ACL and it doesn't look like there's any rust. It's
like a pinball maybe out of there.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
I'll be honest with you, I mean, and I would not.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I know.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
People have talked about well webams the end of the season,
the record, the drafted guy I wouldn't move off of. Well,
he gives them a legitimate shot of winning football games.
This roster is now where it needs to be at
right now for them to you know, ultimately be competitive consistently.
But he's playing great.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
He looks awesome.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Draft Marvin Harrison Junior, that's you move.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Yeah, Well, I mean we'll see where the drafting and
what their biggest need is. But man, he's he's playing.
He looks great so far. Stroud I said it earlier.
He's he's playing as the MVP. If you had to
vote right now, right now, he'd be it. He's playing
at that high of a level and and they're they're
(24:07):
in the way, and they're there in the playoffs that
the playoffs started.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Today, which is wild because then now do you got
to take a look at Ryan's as being the coach
of the year. I mean, what a hell of a turnaround, man.
That it was a team that just couldn't really figure
it out, couldn't It's almost in a lot of ways
like what we're seeing take place in Carolina. It's just
a team that just couldn't couldn't win, couldn't figure it out.
(24:31):
And in one season he's he's done. He's done a
lot to change the culture and to change the vibe
of what what the the Houston Texans you know, have
have become, you know, from what they were. So you
gotta give a lot of credit due to to that.
Who's ever working with uh with c J. Stroud give
(24:53):
a lot of credit to and give a lot of
credit to him. I mean, dude looks like he I mean,
he's he's got the Texans looking like Ohio State in
the pros, Like that's how he used to go deep
in college. And we've looked for Ohio State quarterbacks to
do that same thing once they got to the league
and it just hasn't panned out that way.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
But c J.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Stroud is he's dialing them up. Man looks really good
out there. Looks like he knows, he belongs, like he's
got a good command of the offense and just seems
like I don't know if it's a confidence in terms
of not being afraid to take chances or whatever it
may be, but it just seems as though he's throwing
(25:34):
the ball with a lot of confidence, and that to
me is a lot of times that moment of indecision
sometimes leads to the things that happen because you're overthinking things.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
It's also the appropriate result if you just consider everything
that happened with Deshaun Watson and him throwing the organization
under the bus, even before the massage stuff came out.
Like to see them with all those picks as we
laid out last week, and you know, Tank Dell that's
a pick they got from Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
CJ.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Stroud playing the way he played, Like they've completely he's
changed the narrative on what the organization is and we're
ten to eleven games into the year. It's awesome to see.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Yeah, I'll say this to the way he warms up
is the most interesting thing. Like he'll incorporate some of
the drills that you'll typically see out there the whole,
like disassociation drills where your hips are kind of and
legs are firing in a different way, but in a
pattern of your throwing motion.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
But he does all.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Types of different things, Like he's got one of those
it looks like it's like one of those weights that
people use when they're trying to warm up to swing
a golf club.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
It's got like a weighted ball at the end he
uses that he shoots.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
He shoots basketballs too, which that was probably one of
the better things. Like George Whitfield, who obviously is a
pretty well known quarterback coach, I've gone out with him
a few times. One of the interesting things that he
would do in between throwing sessions is you go play horse.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
And one of the things why I love.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
That for young quarterbacks is, I mean, one playing multiple
sports is the best way I think of creating the
like an all around athlete, which you have to I
don't care what sport you play professionally, you have a
certain degree of athleticism to you. Now, when you can
be good at all these other sports, you start to
see that they all blend kind of together in the
ways they help you. And a lot of times, especially
(27:29):
when the games played. Now you hear coaches describe football
as like basketball and grass. And he's the quarterback, but
he's really a point guard. The way he's distributing the
football and getting that feeling of the ball in a
basketball rolling off your fingertips and rolling off your hand,
it's very similar to you know in a way of
how you're going to feel that football roll off your fingertips,
(27:51):
and so you're just trying to train your body in
all these different ways, and I think it's awesome. I
think it's cool, and it's probably one of the ways too.
It looks like, I mean, he's done this sort of
thing for a long time, and I think it's one
of the reasons why he's you know, uniquely so accurate
down the field. I think it's the most accurate quarterback
this season in the NFL. I mean, how many rookies
can say that they go in and they're they're throwing
(28:13):
the highest, you know, percentage of completions twenty plus yards downfield.
It's just ridiculous to think he's doing that in his
rookie year, let alone, he did that throughout his time
at Ohio State. So it's it's pretty it's pretty awesome
to see what this team has become, because I mean,
before even Watson got there, like they were a competitive
(28:34):
team within their division, they were just.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
Kind of a quarterback away.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
And then you know, they thought when Watson got there,
maybe they'd be able to kind of make that run,
and obviously things didn't work out that way.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
But now you have them with CJ. Stroud, a guy
who's very very.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
Much capable of being their their you know, franchise quarterback
for years to come.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
I mean Bill O'Brien also was a guy who was
a scapegoat out of there like he was looked at
it as well. It's a problem they can can't figure out.
Remember how many they went one and done on two
straight coaches? It was Lovey Smith And why am I
blanket on the name before coach from Baltimore?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
And now, David, oh jeez, why am I blanking? But
point is now they've got at least some stability there
and they're fun to watch man, So it's been it's
been fun to see C. J. Strode also another Ohio
state quarterback, justin fields. He looked really really good yesterday
right up until about like four minutes left and then
you know, but we'll just dismiss all that and that
(29:30):
that world class meltdown from the Chicago Bears there yesterday.
So sorry to Brady Quinn, diehard Bears fan, sorry about that.
That's right, yeah, David, that's it was.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
Well, why why do you keep throwing that on me
like you because I don't want you're a Bears fan,
like we all know, you had family from Monmouth, Illinois
and that whole story you tell.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Me because I don't want to blame them, so somebody
else has.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Got to do it.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
That's not true.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
It is to do you think that we were talking
about the New York Jets and on you brought up
Robert Giffin to Why isn't Robert Griffin the third throwing
in his hat for going to New York?
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Or has he? Did I miss that?
Speaker 5 (30:06):
I don't know. I'm not sure he brought up Robert
griff in the third?
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Oh didn't you bring up Robert Griffin the third? RG
three said.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yeah, No, no, No, Johan has just brought up RG three.
Didn't you bring his name up?
Speaker 4 (30:17):
No, Deshaun Watson I brought out Oh but I heard
RG three. No, No, you said I was bad at TV.
RG three is a whole.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Other that's going to be ten dollars. That'd be ten dollars.
I didn't say you were bad at TV. I think
you're pretty awesome. Actually, understand, why is that ten dollars?
Because that was very passive as I just say that
you want people to hate me because I'm attacking you,
and that's not true at all.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Listen, I'm just trying to get I was trying to
help me sort it out here.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Why wouldn't they go after out?
Speaker 5 (30:45):
What are you talking about us?
Speaker 4 (30:46):
I don't know. Laar's attacking me.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Oh, here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
He's being hostile and I'm tired of it.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
You know how many people out there like wanted, like
want to hurt me now physically?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
I mean you can't. Don't. Don't get that twisted. Why not?
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Because I am yoked up right now. Yeah, And and
the gout is not in full effect, like I walked everything.
I didn't use no walkways in the airports yesterday.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
You are like Superman man.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
I'm telling you, I feel pretty good man.
Speaker 5 (31:13):

Speaker 4 (33:27):
I'm gonna give you.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
Man.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Jonas goes first, and I'll tell you the story. It's
not an IR story.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
For I'm trying to think about got anything good. Well,
you guys saw the video I sent you of my
son who's got a halitzer for an arm and chucking,
and so that the hip into it. The problem is
is trying to get him out of there, especially when
he needs to nap, because.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
He freaking rows down.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
And he kicks and so he you know, it's right
at the perfect range where he's just going to hit
me in the balls multiple times over. And so that
was that was a battle. I've got to like copper
his head. It's like trying to It's like, you know,
being in the bomb squad. I got to carry out
like a bomb in a suitcase somewhere and have it
(34:15):
explode in the parking lot because I don't want the
person that's working at you try the car. Oh my,
you have no idea, just just a nightmare. I took
unto my brother's restaurant before then because my brother they're
putting in a bowling alley there, so I want him
to see because he loves to bowl.
Speaker 5 (34:32):
And then he.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Saw the pool tables. He started playing with the pool balls,
throwing him in the pockets at the pool tables. Then
he didn't want to leave there. That turned into a nightmare.
It was just about an hour and a half of
me getting assaulted by my own son. So that's the
ir I got from Friday.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
So all right, well, first off, let me just go
in on the entire Southwest boarding process. All right, At
one point it was cool, all right, people like the
freedom of being able to pick whatever seats they want.
But as we always tend to find out, people are
gonna abuse the process. So you can have whatever boarding
(35:09):
you want. You could be A one, you could be
B fifty, it doesn't matter. There is gonna be a
string of people before you. I don't know how I
mean outside of obviously those who need to that are
you know, are handicapped and have to be your wheelchaired
onto the plane.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
There's a group now they put in preboards, they call it.
Speaker 6 (35:30):
I saw a string of people, none of which it
seemed like they had any ailments of any sort. I'm
not sure how why they were considered preboarding, but they
went on first, and everyone else is like watched them
walk by. And this is obviously after there was a
procession of those folks who needed help getting on the
plane and wheelchairs, and so by the time you get
(35:51):
on the plane, like you really don't have an option
to pick whatever seats you want, all right, because Southwest
has allowing people to basically abuse this entire process.
Speaker 5 (36:00):
It's like to the point where I'm like, what the
hell is going on? And it's a cattle call.
Speaker 6 (36:05):
To begin with, Yeah, you know, a group a round up,
round up, everyone come over here, and everyone kind of
starts shuffling over like you're a herd of cattle just
getting ready to get onto a plane. So we get
onto the plane and as we're starting to take off,
you hear this small dog. You can tell based on
its bark. Obviously you can only bring a dog, a
(36:26):
small dog on planes anyway. It is barking its head off,
like to the point where you're irritated by it. But
now you're starting to focus kind of bad for the
dog that's confined to some small space. And I don't
know if the person who was dog it was couldn't
hear it, didn't care or what was going on.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
But if it was a two hour flight, this dog
was barking for.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
I swear about an hour and a half, so seventy
five percent of the flight. And it's a pretty loud,
annoying bark, the type that makes you question why people
even breathe the small dogs anyway. But then at one
point you start to you start to get the smell
oh no, and you're realizing like, because it stopped. It
stopped for about I don't know, twenty minutes, fifteen minutes,
(37:13):
and so you're sitting there in the middle.
Speaker 5 (37:15):
Of the flight like, huh, that's nice. It's an old
piece and quiet.
Speaker 6 (37:17):
All oh he was and had it you don't notice anything.
But my guess is the dog was fed, and then
the dog relieved itself just immediately immediately, And so then
this smell starts to kind of creep over the cabin,
and you were like, this is not happening right now,
(37:38):
And so of course what does the dog do? Dog
stars barking again? Right, It just took a dump in
in a short confined space. And I mean again I
felt bad for the dog. I don't know, I couldn't tell,
like who exactly owned it. But eventually they went to
the back. They were like in the bathroom, cleaned it out,
taking up time to the bathroom.
Speaker 5 (37:57):
It was a disaster whole thing.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
I mean, can't you just can't you ban somebody from
flying with dogs? Should be able to ban them from flying.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
The gist of it, just don't fly out either that
or just open the emergency exit and throw it out
the window, running out of airlines.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
Yeah, as we are, We really are
