Well, no, I don't. I don't speak. Yeah, I didn't
mean it that way.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I like to visit it and experience it this way

Speaker 6 (00:52):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I don't want to clean up all of these leaves.
I see all these leaves changing colors, and the whole
bunch of leaves down on the ground already, Like, I don't.
I don't want any of that pressure. I don't want
to push snow. I don't want to preheat my car.
Speaker 6 (01:07):

So there's been some speculation about whether or not Brock
Purty's going to be able to give it a go
this week for the forty nine ers. He suffered shoulder
and toe injuries in the opening win against the Seattle Seahawks,
and his head coach, Kyle Shanahan was asked by the
media about his quarterback status heading into week two. Any
(03:22):
further sense about whether Brock will be able to play
on Sunday.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
I dance a long shot possible if.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
Purdy's injury could be a multi week thing and.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
That's the toe more so than the shoulder.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
Yes, did someone's up on his foot in the pocket.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Do you know how the toe injury happened?
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Yeah, I think it happened scrambling. I think when I'll
Love tackle him by the sideline. I believe it happened.
We was playing through that in the game.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Or is just something you found.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Out later that was where?
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:48):
You know what that means. If Brock Party can't give
it a go, you know what that means.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
Return of the Mac baby, Mac Jones, step right up,
Come on, Yes, the guy Kyle Shanahan wanted years ago,
but John Lynch was like, now, let's give up three
first round picks to go up and draft Trey Lance.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
It's all right, Kyle shan Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Kyle Shannon's like, no, I gotta get me some Mac Jones.
And here we are, Mac Jones with an opportunity to
not start just one game against the awful New Orleans Saints,
but maybe more than that based on the severity of
the injuries to Brock Purty.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I mean, I'm excited to see what Mac Jones can
do in the system. Same thing I said back when
Sam Darrng got a shot to operate in the system
like this is one of those systems, similar to Kevin O'Connell.
Minnesota guys go in, they ball out, they tend to
play really, really well.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
So excited to see what mac Jones can do.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I think he's perfectly suited and can do all the
things that Kyle Shanahan wants him to do. He's there
for a reason. So I don't think this is a dear,
I said, I don't think it's a downgrade, Like what
what do you guys feel like brock Purty can.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Do that much better than Matt Jones. He's a little more.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Fleet of foot maybe, uh yeah, maybe. And and also
brock Purdy's been injured a lot during the course of
his time as a starter. I know he's at the
biggest guy in the world, and I just I think
that that's part of the discussion as to do does
he warrant getting the contract that he got from the Niners.
(05:31):
Is his durability has been in question, and we're one
weekend on on brock Purty and he's already gonna have
to most likely miss this game and maybe several more.
With mac Jones filling and filling in the gap, so
I just I don't think there's that much of a
step down. But I was thinking about this as far
as Mac Jones getting an opportunity in Kyle Shannan's system
(05:53):
and Brady as a quarterback. Can you tell immediately when
you go to a new system, Oh, this guy knows
way more than the last guy did, Like, is any
significant difference as a player.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Yeah, there's some things you can tell right away that
you'll grow.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
To appreciate, you know, if they're able to stack plays
and build plays, meaning you know, hey, we've got a
game plan, we've got you know this, same personnel grouping
and these you know three you know this, three or.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Four plays off the same formation.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
That's what's going to keep LeVar or someone like it's
someone on defense on their heels. Is if I show
you the same thing and I've got a play action aboo,
a run, a drop back pass out of the same thing,
there's no tendency, there's no key there, So it makes
it harder for them. Also, like I was a guy
who I'd like to kind of, you know, figuring out
what the defense was the one before the snap. So
(06:46):
it's spreading things out and empty give me displacement, meaning
like putting a tight end running back outside. Give me
whether or not it's manner zone or sometimes in base personnel.
You can do some things in the formation, so there's
all sorts of different things you can do. What I
love about Kyle Shanahan is he's able to basically dictate
to the defense how to get them in the exact
(07:08):
look he wants, especially for shot plays and for.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Some of the boots he does, and that, to me,
he's powerful.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
There's some play callers who they're not really good at
doing that. They're not good at actually game planning to
put the stuff in to get what they want out
of the defense. So you go into a game, you
get a different look than what you're hoping for. That
makes it difficult. So yeah, there's definitely a difference you
can tell right away that with some of the best
player callers and some of the guys who are just
kind of out there calling plays.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
With all that being said, my opinion continues to remain
and hold true.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
The Niners are cooked. Damn they're cooked.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Like, yes, what can what can he do differently than
the other quarterback? Well, the one thing he won't do
different is win they're not gonna win.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
You don't think they're gonna beat New Orleans.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
They might lose to New Orleans.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
They could beat New Orleans with Mac tonight instead of
Mac Joe.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
Wow, they might lose against New or New Orleans.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Stinks. I know. No offense to Spencer Rattler, but come on.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Man, I mean, but let's keep the point where the
point is. So do to forty nine ers, am I?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
They won last week though.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
On the road. Shouldn't have won.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Like I mean, if Sam Donald, if Sam Donald can
just hold on to a ball, I mean talk about
like hand like. It's one thing to lose a game,
it's an other thing to hand the ball over, hand
the game over to the team.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
He literally handed the game over. If he doesn't do that,
who knows how it ends.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I'm just saying I'm not high on the Niners coming
into the season. I'm not high on the Niners after
Week one. They're dealing with injuries. The Kittle injury is
way bigger than the Party injury. It's way bigger. So
even if brock Perdy was still in there, Kittle being
out now there, their offense is totally crippled. You're you're
(09:38):
perceivably outside of Semac, that is your best weapon that
is now out for the next what for four weeks
they're I mean, they were in trouble with Kittle, they
were in trouble with Semac, they were in trouble with
the team they had that was coming into the season.
Now you name these injuries to two prominent figures on
(10:03):
the offense side of the ball, they're in more trouble.
They're in more trouble and where they're currently at right now, Yes,
they can lose to New Orleans and I would not
be surprised if they lose to New Orleans.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Cool, get out of here with that. So you're calling
you're calling it. You're you're calling money lines.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
What you're saying money line for New Orleans.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
If you're going money line on the Saints, Steve heard,
you know what that is. I think that's because you
enjoyed yourself so much in New Orleans for Super Bowl
Week that you're like, you know, let me throw.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Them a bone, you know. Oh yeah, let me with y'all, y'all.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Yeah, throw them a little bit of a bone. In
Week two, say they're going to beat the Niners. I
can't see it.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
I don't see it at all. And if there's not
that much of a drop off from brock Perty to
mac Jones, I don't think it's anything to be alarmed with.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Okay, do it this way, do it this way? What
if they lose to New Orleans? How will you guys
react to that?
Speaker 4 (11:11):
I'll give you a pad on the back.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, no, I don't want to paddle on the back.
I'm saying, how do you got?
Speaker 9 (11:17):
Like?
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Will what will your Yesterday?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I said this yesterday when we talked about all the injuries.
I said, I think like they've hit their ceiling. This
feels like a team that's like they've gone as far
as they were going to go. M h, even though
they've got a really easy schedule. I did probably didn't
say that well the other day. One of the reasons
why I have them going far is because they've got
a pretty easy schedule this year, so that should allow
(11:42):
them to position themselves well in the playoffs. And then look,
there's just not a lot of other competition in the NFC.
So I still think they're a playoff team. And by
the way, I still think mac Jones will do a
good enough job to help.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Them get a win.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
So I think the Niners is a super Bowl can
ender ship is sailed like that one sailed. But I
still I think they're a playoff team. I think they
can get there. I mean, look, especially if we're talking
about that division.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
And I can still jump forty two inches with my vertical.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Damn, that's high.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
What are you eating, Preseas Reses?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
No, we just talked about a health cack.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
I told you. That's why I'm not judging Lee.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Look oh no, oh no, is that you got?
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Man?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Help?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Is good like after after you get over a nice
cup of hot coffee, a nice little sweet to go
with it.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
I'm telling you, I do dumb stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
It's so I'm going to regret doing it, but it's
so good while I'm eating it.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
I just kidding.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I think it makes you lovable, honestly, Yeah, thank you,
thank you, appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Nice little piece of chocolate candy. Rece's is my favorite.
Now would you rather have pieces? Would you rather have real? Well,
that's what I was told on my weight scale, my chart.
Would you rather have Rec's pieces or recy cop.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Up to the point though, where like I'd rather have
Rec's pieces, But I wouldn't eat it like that. I'd
put it like in a cookie or something, or like
a milkshake. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
I think putting a whole bunch of candy.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
I'm not a big.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Candy eater either, but I do indulge when it is
readily available. Look y'all, saw Lee come back? Lee wants
to chime in on this because Lee's a sweet eater,
because Lee gets drunk.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
And that's I don't don't sweets at all.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Damn do you?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I mean, Loraina? Do you do you like Pieces or
Reese's cups better? Which one would if you had to
choose one.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
I'll do pieces all day.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Yeah, okay, let me ask you some reason they're better.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Let me ask you this regular Eminem's or Reese's Pieces,
pecs and guaranteed the sales would tell you otherwise more
people buy.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
M and ms than they do pieces. Crazy guaranteed, just
plain ass chocolate.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
And by the way, Lee, what about a mud slide?
If you don't like sweets, I guarantee you had a
mudslide before. I don't even know what that is. Look
up the ingredients in a mudslide They used to serve
them at at Fridays when I work there and it's
it's dessert with booze.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
Well, I do you like a good bourbon in my milkshake? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I would drink that. But that is a lot of
that's a lot of sugar that looks gross. But I
would drink it if it's got Oh, Clua and Tito's
all right, all right, never we're talking. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
cut down on those suits.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Didn't mean to twist your arm there, didn't mean to
put you in a difficult spot to have to make
a decision. But you can always go mud slide.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
And as of twenty twenty three, yes, Eminem's does hold
a higher sales over Reese's pieces.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
I don't get it. I don't get it. People, You
don't get what. Eminem's has higher sales Thane's pieces.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Regular Eminems. Yeah, man, Eminem's with nuts in them. Now
you give me some nuts in them, bad boy. Yeah,
I'm all the nuts. I like some some some eminem nuts. Yeah,
they both sell. I'll eat them joints all day long,
(15:47):
A whole bunch of chocolate nuts in my mouth all
day long.
Speaker 9 (15:50):
It was.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I don't know why but the Nuts just give it
a different flight, like a different play on it. I
mean the ones regular one. I don't got no thick said,
I don't got no thick tongue, one tongue normal I had.
I had a conclusion to that thought, but it wasn't
appropriate for radio.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
By the way, that I ought to tell you how
compelling that matchup is between the Saints and the Niners.
That we just veered off into Reese's pieces versus M
and m's to close up the topic. So put that
in your sweet tooth pipe and smoke it.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Everybody.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
There's there's the update on the forty nine ers and
their situation in a quarterback. So, by the way, I
mean battle of the back to back Super Bowls because
you know it was New Orleans last year. We're going
to be in the Bay Area, and everybody's looking forward
to that. That's real fire.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
That's a good.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Storyline for us. No one's excited to see Mac Johns
balls out.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
I am.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
I want to see I want to see it. I'm
looking forward to it. I'm in man. I would have
liked to have seen Sam Darnold get more opportunities. I
don't know how many I.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Do think San Francisco getting really protective of a Brock party,
especially when you ask a question like that where you're like, well,
what does brock Purty do a lot better than Mac Jones?
Like if I was to ask you, all right, what
is Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, you
would be able to quickly say that like, oh, those
guys will have this, this, this, this quality better. Right
(17:19):
when you saw brock Purty no a question like that,
It's like, well, I don't know, am I wrong in
saying that?
Speaker 5 (17:26):
No? And also and also I would say that it's
not necessarily a knock on brock Party to where like
he can't help where he was drafted in too's the
last pick of the draft. What is he supposed to do? Oh,
I got to get out of here so I can
go prove that I can do it in a worse
offensive system. No, he's played well. He's been to a
Super Bowl. He played well in that Super Bowl. But like,
(17:48):
if we're gonna be honest about Mac Jones, he was
a pro bowler and he did play pretty well when
he had a competent play caller in Josh McDaniel's in
New England and then they decided to do whatever Belichick
was trying to do and it just totally sent him
down the wrong path as a quarterback. So you could
probably make the argument this is the first time since
(18:10):
his Pro Bowl year that he's had competent play calling
around him. And that's why I want to see it.
I want to see was it that was the player?
Was the system? Was it his journey that he was on?
The path he was on. So I'm looking forward to it.
He's going to light up New Orleans. Barsta hater man,
I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Just don't be surprised when they come out of the
weekend with a loss.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
Man, That's all I'm gonna say. Where are they playing
them in New Orleans? Yeahs, it's a hard place to play.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
Oh you know is a little waily gun here? Yeah?
See over there? Sleep right now.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
All I know is.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
That that camera was off for a while between Lee
and Loraine. I'm not sure what's going on.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Oh wow, they're eating like it was off for a
long time.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
They're eating like tofu or something in the studio. What's
that crap you got cooked in there? Ratituy?
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Lorena went to a forking film thing last night where
they give you all the food that is playing in
the movie. The movie being Ratituey. So we were looking
at the menu and eating the leftover.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
You went to see Ratituei last night.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Jesus Christ, Why do y'all.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Keep going all these old movies?
Speaker 7 (19:20):
Well, I didn't go to this one, but I did
go see Yeah, I saw Jaws and Hamilton.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
But you eat while the movie's going.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
So it's like, oh, you ate out of a trash
can because the rat's eating out of a trash can
in the beginning.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
So Lee, what do you do when you're watching Jaws?
Eat Quinn? What did they bring out where they were
at a human being and eating him?
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Yeah? What do you eat?
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Huh?
Speaker 5 (19:39):
What was I eat?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
I ate?
Speaker 7 (19:40):
I did eat something good. I ate a good burrito
during that. It was it was oh no, that was
a I went to a forever cemetery showing up this
is spinal tap and I had a burrito, watched the cemetery.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
There's gotta be something else to do. I like, well,
that's a good thing to do. When you guys walked
through the doors and they like somebody came somebody can
somebody actually showed up here packed house.
Speaker 7 (20:02):

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Michigan's offensive coordinator Chip Lindsay forgot he had a quarterback
that had a howitzer for an arm and acted like
we're in the nineteen thirties. We could only just run
the ball ole miss they go to Kroger Field. Apparently
they couldn't figure it a way of getting a produce
to produce some points. First, Kentucky and SMU, how are
you up fourteen points in the fourth quarter and you
(22:30):
just give that game away to Baylor. But I digress. Yeah,
new week, new opportunity, And here's what I'll say. If
you want to fade me, see if it works for
you this week. All right, And like most people, when
they get down, they dig in, and that's exactly what
I've done. So I'm not going with three games, not
going with four games. I'm going with five games. Okay,
(22:53):
we're going with five picks for this week. Let me
read them. We can figure out what we want to do.
After Clemson laying two and a half at Georgia Tech.
To me, this is a get right game for a
team that's been lackluster to say the least. Obviously, Clemson
lost ELISU to start the season, disappointing, started the game
versus Troy ended up winning, but I think the defense
(23:16):
is going to pitch a near shutout and offensively, I
think they put it together. They come around. So lay
the two and a half with Clemson versus Georgia Tech.
Next up Oklahoma laying a big number minus twenty one
and a half over Temple. Now this has the chance
to be what we'd call a hangover game, right you
just had a big win you beat Michigan. This is
(23:37):
one though, where I think you also have to take
into account with OU's schedule, and if you're Breton Venables,
you can't afford to not put up a bunch of
points versus teams that you should beat. Because we've heard
that the College Football Playoff Committee they're going to look
into the strength of the schedule even more so. So
not only tells me that they're not only going to
(23:57):
give you more credit for wins against good teams or not,
you know, not take away as much when you lose
to those good teams, but they're also going to factor
in if you only beat a bad team close. You
need to make that margin of victory big. So I've
got a number of really big favorites this week that
I do believe they're going to take care of business.
(24:18):
Oklahoma is one of them. Lay the twenty one and
a half points. I think John Mattier continues to make
his Heisman campaign. Next up Michigan at home, laying twenty
seven and a half versus Central Michigan again a get
right game for Michigan. They've got to respond. They've already
lost once. If they don't win the Big Ten and
(24:38):
you want to be a part of the College Football Playoff,
these sorts of games, you can't allow them to be close. Now,
the interesting thing is there's no Seon Moore. Remember he's
serving his suspension. Biff Pogi is taking over. If you
don't know about Biff, legendary human being. He's a guy
who had a hedge fund, decided to after he got
out of the hedge fund. Just coach Ball doesn't need
(24:59):
to work. He's been the head coach of Charlotte before.
Where's a cutoff. He is a legendary guy. He built
up in the Baltimore, the Gilman School, Saint Francis, a
number of those programs. It's all thanks to Biff and
him and what he's done. So in late the twenty
seven and a half, I know it's a big number.
Michigan will respond. Next up Alabama. They're laying twenty and
a half versus Wisconsin. Wisconsin has struggled mightily offensively, and
(25:25):
I think this is big, gonna be a big Mitch
mismatch in that sense. Alabama's defense has recovered and responded
since they're lost to Florida State and this is not
the same offense they're State facing in Wisconsin, and offensively,
they're starting to put some things together too, So lay
the twenty and a half here. Alabama is still a
really good football team. And finally, Georgia headed to Neeland
(25:46):
to take on the Tennessee Volunteers. Georgia is laying three
and a half as a road favorite. This is typically
a spot where you'd probably want to go the other
way and take the Volunteers. Unfortunately, history hasn't been kind
to Georgia and Tennessee in these matchups.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Specifically, Josh HYPEOVERUS Kirby Smart.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I think this is one of those games where George's
kind of flying under the radar, at least in the
national sense of some of the favorites to maybe have
a chance of winning it.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
I think they take care of business.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
They knock off Tennessee at home, you lay in the
three and a half here, So I get it all favorites,
but I also think this is going to be starting
to be the separation of the of the teams that
are playing for national championship and the pretenders.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Sometimes Quinn's wins, you'll be a winner. That's what I'm
talking about right there. And you know what it is
everybody else's fault. You know, whatever happened last week, it's
their fault. You know, it's their fault. They didn't want
to throw the ball. It's all their fault. That's the
exact approach you need to take if you have a
(26:45):
poor week. It's what I do makes you feel better too.
You can vent a little bit on poor performances and
you suck. Yeah whatever, that's fine, But it's a bounce.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Back because the picks are supposed to be correct. It's
the coaches and the players that mess it up.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Yeah, agreed, there's that element of it.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Yeah's that. Did you guys see that quote from Lamar Jackson?
Speaker 5 (27:08):
Uh what about the cramping?
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Yeah? With that?
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Yeah, So Lamar Jackson spoke, well, he he had two
different quotes. He had one about the cramping that took
place and referenced the poop game that he had a
couple of years back. And then he also had a
conversation about the fan that he shoved. So pick a card,
any card, which one do you guys want to hear first?
Speaker 9 (27:36):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Fan that he shoved.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Maybe all right, so let's hear this is Lamar Jackson
apologizing for some reason about shoving a fan who got
out of line.
Speaker 10 (27:44):
Don't get me wrong, I didn't try to, you know,
it just happened like I got pushed him, like what,
But I was like outside, I wasn't even thinking about
me being out there on the field. But my apologies
to that whoever that was. I don't know who it was.
I probably used to him like just ship next time.
Just you know, you could talk trash and keep your
hands to yourself. I've never seen any one of our
fans do nothing like that to an opposing team, you know.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
So just you know, just keep it football trash.
Speaker 9 (28:08):
You know.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
I know guy's gonna talk trash.
Speaker 10 (28:09):
I know, you know the opposting team's gonna tak tras
to keep it that way, you know, but keep your
hands and keep your object to yourself.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
I think I know why the guy shoved Lamar Jackson
and DeAndre Hopkins and acted the way that he did.
And im and I'm actually gonna defend him, uh in
this front because you know, we talked about, you know,
him being banned from NFL stadiums. Isn't punishment enough. He
should have to go do bowl in the ring and
just get war out by you know, NFL players since
(28:36):
he wants to put his hands on him. But maybe
there's something to this. What has been the big craze
that's gone on in sports over the past several months.
We've been asked Brady as Dean Blandino about it, and
it's people throwing, yeah, throwing dildos on the field. Let's
not forget who was the originator of this. It was
the Buffalo Bills, and they did it years in advance.
(28:58):
And yet it's these Johnnie Cumme latelies that pop up
start throwing stuff from their top drawer in their nightstand
out on the field, and the Bills are standing around going,
wait a second, we were the ones doing that first,
and everybody else is getting shine. Before everybody else was
inventing or throwing out neon green dildos on the field,
(29:19):
the Bills were bringing in flesh colored sex toys and
firing them at players and nearly hitting players in actual
NFL games. And so this guy's looking around going, well, now,
if we do it, we're gonna look like we're stilling
the idea we're not getting the love we deserve, so
why not just go ahead and put my hands on
a couple of players. I get it. I think it's
sound reasoning. Maybe not the best judgment, but I think
(29:42):
its sound reasoning as to why he acted the way
that he did.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
So you're saying, live game horseshoes but with Dil doo's, Yeah,
live game darts but with dil doos, Yeah, we won't
to be the originators of they were game.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
I mean they were doing this. So they were doing
this in twenty eighteen, and and now all of a sudden,
everybody's you know, through w NBA games, Like they threw
where was the NFL?
Speaker 3 (30:08):
So they got to start the new trend, which is
slapping players upside the head.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Hey, hey, gotta be their originator.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
You got to get some of your credit back. Makes
sense to me.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Hey, By the way, Lamar Jackson must be a really
really strong dude man, because that kid went back like
he got hit by like ryu.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Get yeah, yeah he did. He did light him up
pretty good.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
He went words and he was pushing up. He brought
he brought them hips that was like almost like an
explosive leg lift, like you know, like when you be
doing like them, you know them pools, you know pool.
Speaker 6 (30:52):
Yeah, and he'd be in that gym.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
He was playing the long game.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
And right now we welcome in a Thursday tradition here
on the show. He is the one and only Albert Brier,
Senior NFL reporter, lead content strategist at the MMQB. Get
him on X at Albert Brier A be good morning
at be Thursday to you.
Speaker 9 (31:23):
Hey, it was up God, we doing.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
We are good week One most surprising result for you,
either good or bad, was what.
Speaker 9 (31:38):
That's a good question? The most surprising, you know, God,
I don't know that. That was really stunned by anything. I
thought Caleb would look better, I think on Monday nights
than he did. I thought he held the ball and
I thought like it kind of still looked it looked
like he wasn't playing fast enough. I would say, I
(32:01):
don't know. I mean, like I know most people will
say the dolphins, but I thought the Dolphins were going
to have some problems, you know, coming out of the gate.
It sup me that Jonas, I don't know, I don't
know that anything was really shocking and any shock.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
You guys, Yeah, the Colts. I didn't think the Colts
were going to actually drum the Dolphins. I think there
are both teams. Maybe the Colts good.
Speaker 9 (32:25):
Yeah, I think the Colts are a good one. Brady,
I like and I think like it's probably another example
of like what what what happens.
Speaker 11 (32:32):
With quarterbacks in the NFL?
Speaker 9 (32:34):
You know, And I've been kind of an evangelist for
these guys, like you know, Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield
and Gino Smith and what do we give up on
guys who are highly drafted And the ultimate example of it,
probably from fifteen years ago is you know, it was
Alex Smith, you know, but I think, you know, Shane
Stikin did a good job of building an offense for
(32:56):
Daniel Jones, and you know, like really what they were
looking for and this was you know, sort of like
I think an interesting component to it. Like they gave
me the stat when I was there over the summer
where they were twenty ninth in the league in total
defense and thirtieth and giveaways last year and they still
won eight games, Right, So they bring in Leuen in
a romo to fix the defense, and then you know,
(33:19):
like really like what Shane's thing was was like, we
just need to play a lot cleaner on offense, and
we just need somebody to come in and operate, to
operate the system. And they didn't feel like Anthony Richardson
was doing that at a high enough level, and they
really felt like it was holding the talent they had
on that side of the ball back. And I think
what you saw with Daniel Jones wasn't necessarily spectacular, but
(33:43):
I don't think that that's what they thought they needed.
Like they felt like.
Speaker 11 (33:46):
What they needed was somebody who's gonna.
Speaker 9 (33:47):
Put you know, Michael Pittman and Josh Downs and Alex Pearson,
Tyler Warren and Jonathan Taylor in a position to make plays.
And that's exactly what Daniel Jones did, right.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Carley Earth wearing headphones in that Colts game, that did
that also add to your surprise.
Speaker 9 (34:08):
Of Yeah, yeah, I don't know how often the owners
on the headset I have bird stories about have you
guys heard about these? Like we're like sometimes they're in
the suite and they'll have like a transmitter or whatever,
or they'll have I don't know if it's an actual
headset all the time, Like maybe it's like just that
an earpiece or something, but they'll like be able to
(34:29):
hear it. Like have you you ever heard of that?
Speaker 11 (34:30):
Right?
Speaker 4 (34:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (34:32):
Yeah, I mean so, like, I guess it's not that
unusual that, like, you know, the owner, we want to
listen in. I don't know how much you're cleaning from
it if you're the owner, unless you're like, like I
just I mean, you guys know what it sounds like
those headsets.
Speaker 11 (34:47):
It's like if you don't really.
Speaker 9 (34:49):
Know what's going on, Like it's like everybody's talking in code,
you know what I mean. Like, so, but I think
we've seen that before too, So I don't know, I
it is a little bit of a weird look for
your first game as principal owner, but you know, I
don't think it's that on common that owners will kind
of hover in those.
Speaker 11 (35:09):
Sorts of ways.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
So, so part of the discussion we had it wasn't
so much about like whether or not she should be
doing this. It was more like, well, then you need
to be listening really throughout the week because otherwise you
don't really have the context to what's happening. And her
explanation of like well maybe someone tagged the wrong route
or and it's I'm like, okay, that's not how this works,
(35:32):
but you know it it sounds that's saying thing.
Speaker 9 (35:35):
Brady is like if you don't have that, like if
you weren't in practice every day during training camp, like
how would you be able to really make heads because
like it's like anything else, right, Like if you've had
a running conversation with somebody on something for a month
and a half and like you're and somebody just jumps
in and listens to you having that running conversation with
somebody about anything, like they're going to lack all the
(35:58):
context that you've got on it, right, Like I'm not
even just not just football, just like in anything, right, No, yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Mean you're right.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
And then but again it kind of just showed that
like even what she was saying, well, this problem, you know,
if it reveals itself, it's like, well that problem isn't
really a reality, is what she was trying to describe,
the greatest question becomes because when I heard this, my
first thought was, Ooh, that's bad for Shane's stiching then,
because Chris Ballard's not on that like a general manager
(36:28):
is not being evaluated with every single game on a
headset like that, right, So it almost led me to
think that, like if there is, because it's technically new
ownership in a way, Yeah, it almost led me to believe, like,
what's Shane Stikeen's in the crosshairs of them, not Chris Ballard.
Yet Ballard's been there for longer, they haven't won a division.
(36:49):
I think you could make some you could you could
have some questions about how they built this roster.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
Did you get that sense though, that.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Like maybe it's pointed at the coach for some reason
at least based on those kinds elements.
Speaker 11 (37:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (37:02):
I mean, look, I think you know it's weird because,
like I know a lot of coaches, there's a little
paranoia with coaches sometimes over this. And I think I
hesitate to use that word because I think sometimes it's
justified paranoia. I mean, I think in a lot of
cases is justified paranoia.
Speaker 11 (37:18):
Where like if there.
Speaker 9 (37:20):
Is any sort of divide, and I'm not saying there
is one between Chris and Shane. But like, if there
is any sort of divide between the coach and the
general manager, what the coach will say to you will
is well who sits.
Speaker 11 (37:31):
Next to the to the owner during the games?
Speaker 9 (37:33):
Right, And there's always this feeling like is the GM
up there picking apart? Like, well, I gave him the players,
Well look at how look at this guy's talent. Well
look at that catch that guy made. How come he
doesn't have seven catches?
Speaker 4 (37:47):
Look at that?
Speaker 9 (37:48):
Look at that? Look look at that? Look at that pressure?
The sense of end?
Speaker 11 (37:52):
God, how come we can't get him to the quarterback more?
Speaker 9 (37:54):
You know what I mean? Like, so that definitely can exist,
and you know, in a lot of cases, like the
owner will feel a little bit more I would be
a little bit more connected to the general manager, because
the general manager is a front office person. The general
managers generally more of a suit you know. So so yeah,
(38:16):
I mean I think those sorts of dynamics exist. And
I would say this, like, if if you have a
coach who is in any way dealing with any sort
of pressure on his job, you have to be very
careful about the things that you do to exacerbate that
(38:36):
and I would say, like if if there's any sort
of feeling the shamestake is coaching for his job this year,
I think you just have to have like the self
awareness to know, if you're the owner, this is going
to have to be a really bad look for him.
This is not going to make me look good, and
this is ultimately gonna create a problem for for for
(38:59):
him and his staff and potentially something that could seep
into the locker room. So I'm with you on that,
like that you have to be aware of the of
the of the spot that you're in, and maybe that's
just part of the process and in learning how to
do the job of becoming the principal owner.
Speaker 11 (39:14):
If you're probably court.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
Aybe uh Brian day Ball, he made a decision that's
a I don't know if it's considered a gutsy decision
or the most sensible of decisions, but he named Russell
Wilson the starter going into Week two of the NFL season.
What's your take on that and how much runway and
(39:40):
your estimation does Dave Ball have.
Speaker 9 (39:44):
So I think I think a lot of this is
going to relate back to the offensive line they didn't
have Andrew Thomas in week one. We'll see, you know,
when they get him back. That's a really big deal.
Guys like I like, I like, I feel like this
is this is a piece of this puzzle that people
have really overlooked.
Speaker 11 (40:03):
They spent a lot of resources and rebuilding.
Speaker 9 (40:06):
Their offensive line last year and they felt like, all right,
like the first five or six weeks of the season,
they actually played pretty well, and then Andrew Thomas, their
left tackle goes.
Speaker 11 (40:17):
Down, and then one thing.
Speaker 9 (40:19):
Led to another and the whole thing imploded and.
Speaker 11 (40:21):
It became a big mess again.
Speaker 9 (40:23):
And so like this year, they've gone back and they've
doubled down on the same group. So it's you know,
it's it's Thomas an illumina at the tackles. It's been
Rodin and run In at the guards, and it's and
it's it's it's Schmid's at center. Right, So you've got
the same group coming back. You've made that conscious decision
(40:45):
that you know, we did get it right in twenty four,
but the Thomas injury undermined everything. And so like, you know,
you've made that bet on your offensive line. When Thomas
gets back in there, you'd hope things stabilize and I
think if things stabilized, then that when you've got the
Lee way to go to Jackson Dart.
Speaker 11 (41:03):
They think the world of them.
Speaker 9 (41:04):
I said this over the summer, like I like, I like,
I really feel like, if anything, the least got shorter
on Russell Wilson as Jackson Dart really started to check
check every box with the coaches, and they have already
displayed to all of us in a public way by
making him the second quarterback they would feel comfortable putting
him in a game right here, right now. So you know,
(41:26):
I think, you know, part of this is just kind
of making sure that you're you're looking out for the
development of the young quarterback and in trying to put
him in a good situation. And you know, I think
as far as that goes, it's going to be like
when that offensive line is stabilized, then you feel comfortable
putting him in there. And then I think Russell Wilson's unnoticed.
But he's got to play a lot better than he
(41:47):
did last week, that's for sure, because a lot of
the problems the Steelers people had with the way he
played last year. We're certainly there on Sunday against the Commanders.
Speaker 5 (41:57):
Albert Breer, Senior NFR reporter, Lead content Strategy, said, the
MMQB joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, get him
on x at Albert Breer. So, you'd mentioned the Dolphins
performance that you weren't totally surprised by it because you
didn't have high expectations for him. But it just feels
like the conversations are getting louder and louder surrounding Mike McDaniel, Like,
(42:19):
what are you hearing from people as to how thin
the ice is that he's currently operating on.
Speaker 9 (42:27):
Well, so I think i'd said, there are a couple
of things.
Speaker 11 (42:29):
You know. First of all, he was extended last year,
so you would be.
Speaker 9 (42:32):
The the this is never a non tacktor. The owner
would be eating some money and all of that. That's
that's not a non factor. And I think Mike's a
I think Mike's a really good coach, you know. I like,
I think he from a tactical standpoints, one of the
best in the NFL. You know, But like there were
these questions with him, like before he became a head coach,
(42:52):
what happens when the bleep it's the fan and then
you hear stuff, you know, through the off season is
that place. Is that building healthy right now?
Speaker 11 (43:03):
Is the locker room healthy right now?
Speaker 9 (43:06):
They go through a bit of a rebuild and trading
Jalen Ramsey Toront Armstead retires. You know, I think they've
aged out and in certain positions, and he's got two
problems now, Like I think, the first problem is that
a lot of the narrative flows into the fact that
the effort didn't look good, that did not look like
(43:27):
a team that had a lot of energy playing against
the Colts on Sundays. So when you want to call
him narratives, whatever they are over the last few months,
they sort of match what happened in the opener. So
that's problem number one. Problem number two is that if
you are going through this sort of reset where you're
moving off of this team, this group that you went
all in on while Tuo was on his rookie contract,
(43:50):
this would be the natural time to start asking big
picture questions. Is this the guy that we want to
lead our rebuild? If we are going to rebuild, is
this the person that we want? And a kind of
a sidebar to that is the fact that you've got
a guy in your defensive coordinator, Anthony Weaver, who some
people view as a as a future head coach who's
(44:12):
interviewed head coaching job, So you have somebody on your
staff that you might want to take a look at.
Speaker 11 (44:19):
So like, I'm not declaring it's over after one week.
Speaker 9 (44:21):
They've got plenty of time to come off the mat.
Week one's weird. You know, they could come come out
and rip off three straight wins and this conversation looks stupid.
But you know, I'd say those two things are really
sort of working against Mike right now. You know, I'd
say number one again like kind of how the narrative
matched the effort on Sunday. And then number two, like
(44:45):
the fact that they're at this, you know, this natural
point of resetting some things with the roster where you
do ask those big picture questions on whether or not
you want the current leadership leaving the rebuild.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
We were just having this conversation about the San Francisco
forty nine ers kind of where that team's at.
Speaker 4 (45:03):
You know, mccaffree is still doing with the calf.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
Injury, pretty cry out multiple weeks Kittles on IR. I mean,
it just it feels like this is a team that
hit their ceiling, and you know might be a playoff
team because the NFC is obviously weaker than the AFC,
but is probably closer to a rebuild or treading in
that direction more so than a team that's that's building.
Speaker 4 (45:25):
Do you disagree with that?
Speaker 2 (45:26):
Like where where would you say the San Francisco forty
nine ers are out at this point?
Speaker 9 (45:30):
So like they actually have like kind of started to rebuild, Brad.
They played a lot of rookies on defense on Sunday,
and they I think are starting to lean into some
younger players on offense as well. And you know, like
that that's Ricky Piersoll, you know, like that's you know,
I think Juwan Jennings when he gets healthy is and
(45:52):
other piece of that, like you know, I's not old
and Auka's Ayuka is not out there right now, you know,
so they are starting to lean on some some younger players.
Speaker 11 (46:04):
You know.
Speaker 9 (46:04):
It's interesting the conversation I had with Kyle and John
Lynch about this over the summer, a lot of it
centered on like how the guys that they let go
this year, the difference is that those are guys like
those aren't guys that they didn't want to keep, you
know what I mean, Like they let go of some
guys they really like, Like they like.
Speaker 11 (46:22):
Sufungo, they like green Law, they like.
Speaker 9 (46:25):
Jordan Mason, you know, who wound up with the Vikings.
Speaker 11 (46:28):
So they let go.
Speaker 9 (46:29):
Of guys that they really thought, like, you know, these
guys still have something left. We still like these guys,
you know. And it was because the realities of going
all in over the last few years. Now here's the
good news. The good news is they still have like
a crew of like Hall of Fame play Hall of
Fame level players, right, so Nick Bosa and Fred Warner,
(46:49):
George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey. And then you know, if you
combine that with all right, like we're playing a lot
of rookies who should be better in December than they
aren't September, you can see where maybe this all does
come together with a weaker schedule, you know what I mean,
Like maybe this is an eleven or twelve win team
that's supremely well coached. Here's the problem with that, though,
(47:12):
is they're already really banged up. And is that a coincidence, right,
or is that just happen what happens with an older team.
Because Kittle's banged up, you know, like McCaffrey's banged up,
you know, like, is this just hey, it's an older.
Speaker 11 (47:29):
Team, like this is what happens?
Speaker 9 (47:30):
You know. Well, we'll have to see. But if they
can keep those older guys on the field, if Warner
and Bosa and Kittle gets back out there, and Purdy
gets back out there, and McCaffrey can stay healthy, if
they can keep those guys healthy and going, then I
still think they have a shot just because of the
strength of the program.
Speaker 5 (47:49):
All right, so moment are true there?
Speaker 6 (47:52):
Right?
Speaker 5 (47:52):
Enough? With all the shenanigans, Albert Brier, do you believe
that this Saturday, when it's all said and done, that
the Ohio State Buck guys will have beaten the Ohio
Bobcats by more than thirty and a half points at
the shoot?
Speaker 9 (48:13):
Well, oh, You've got a special place in my heart
for the Halloween's. I've spent there back in the day,
and they're a pretty good team, right.
Speaker 11 (48:22):
Like I did beat West Virginia.
Speaker 9 (48:24):
Am I right about that?
Speaker 6 (48:25):
Right?
Speaker 5 (48:26):
I believe?
Speaker 9 (48:27):
So?
Speaker 5 (48:27):
Yeah, they're one in one.
Speaker 9 (48:30):
Yeah, I mean you know what, like you know what,
I'll throw you a bone? Oh maybe, oh you covers
thirty five.
Speaker 6 (48:36):
Like that close?
Speaker 5 (48:37):
Loss at Rutgers for Ohio in Week one, and then
they followed that up with a win against West Virginia.
As you pointed.
Speaker 9 (48:43):
Out, they did they not win the MAC last year?
Speaker 11 (48:46):
Is that right?
Speaker 5 (48:48):
I don't recall.
Speaker 10 (48:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (48:50):
Yeah, you have been, you have been, you have been,
you have been thrilled down on the on the on
the MAC.
Speaker 5 (48:56):
Well, I'm just I'm surprised that you gave as much
love as you did to the opponent because normally it's
a very one sided synopsis of a game involving Ohio State.
And here you are throwing love. And and those Halloween parties,
those Halloween parties did they they won the MAC last year? Aby?
How good were those Halloween parties? That that was the
(49:17):
lead as opposed to your Buckeyes and your Brady.
Speaker 9 (49:20):
You can talk Brady. You I mean, you're in Ohio
and you've ever been to Halloween that Athens?
Speaker 5 (49:26):
I think I think we're having we got some technical
difficulties with Brady at this point.
Speaker 11 (49:31):
Oh, that's unfortunate.
Speaker 9 (49:32):
No, Halloween and Athens is one of I would say
that's a hidden American gem.
Speaker 11 (49:37):
Is Halloween in Athens, Ohio?
Speaker 9 (49:40):
It is It is something else for sure. So yeah,
I spent I spent a couple of halloweens in Athens,
and that's got a special place in my heart. Uh, fantastic,
fantastic place. Joe burrows hometown too.
Speaker 5 (49:52):
Yeah, I can imagine. I can imagine that was fun.
Speaker 6 (49:56):
He's took place there. Huh.
Speaker 11 (49:59):
Lots of lots of as it can't be discussed on
this bro.
Speaker 5 (50:03):
Oh yay, that's why they call it ath them bashing bobcats.
All right, a b thanks man, we appreciate it. We'll
do it again next week. Enjoy the games, all thank you.

So there's been some speculation about whether or not Brock
Purty's going to be able to give it a go
this week for the forty nine ers. He suffered shoulder
and toe injuries in the opening win against the Seattle Seahawks,
and his head coach, Kyle Shanahan was asked by the
media about his quarterback status heading into week two. Any
(03:22):
further sense about whether Brock will be able to play
on Sunday.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
I dance a long shot possible if.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
Purdy's injury could be a multi week thing and.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
That's the toe more so than the shoulder.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
Yes, did someone's up on his foot in the pocket.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Do you know how the toe injury happened?
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Yeah, I think it happened scrambling. I think when I'll
Love tackle him by the sideline. I believe it happened.
We was playing through that in the game.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Or is just something you found.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Out later that was where?
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:48):
You know what that means. If Brock Party can't give
it a go, you know what that means.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
Return of the Mac baby, Mac Jones, step right up,
Come on, Yes, the guy Kyle Shanahan wanted years ago,
but John Lynch was like, now, let's give up three
first round picks to go up and draft Trey Lance.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
It's all right, Kyle shan Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Kyle Shannon's like, no, I gotta get me some Mac Jones.
And here we are, Mac Jones with an opportunity to
not start just one game against the awful New Orleans Saints,
but maybe more than that based on the severity of
the injuries to Brock Purty.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I mean, I'm excited to see what Mac Jones can
do in the system. Same thing I said back when
Sam Darrng got a shot to operate in the system
like this is one of those systems, similar to Kevin O'Connell.
Minnesota guys go in, they ball out, they tend to
play really, really well.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
So excited to see what mac Jones can do.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I think he's perfectly suited and can do all the
things that Kyle Shanahan wants him to do. He's there
for a reason. So I don't think this is a dear,
I said, I don't think it's a downgrade, Like what
what do you guys feel like brock Purty can.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Do that much better than Matt Jones. He's a little more.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Fleet of foot maybe, uh yeah, maybe. And and also
brock Purdy's been injured a lot during the course of
his time as a starter. I know he's at the
biggest guy in the world, and I just I think
that that's part of the discussion as to do does
he warrant getting the contract that he got from the Niners.
(05:31):
Is his durability has been in question, and we're one
weekend on on brock Purty and he's already gonna have
to most likely miss this game and maybe several more.
With mac Jones filling and filling in the gap, so
I just I don't think there's that much of a
step down. But I was thinking about this as far
as Mac Jones getting an opportunity in Kyle Shannan's system
(05:53):
and Brady as a quarterback. Can you tell immediately when
you go to a new system, Oh, this guy knows
way more than the last guy did, Like, is any
significant difference as a player.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Yeah, there's some things you can tell right away that
you'll grow.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
To appreciate, you know, if they're able to stack plays
and build plays, meaning you know, hey, we've got a
game plan, we've got you know this, same personnel grouping
and these you know three you know this, three or.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Four plays off the same formation.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
That's what's going to keep LeVar or someone like it's
someone on defense on their heels. Is if I show
you the same thing and I've got a play action aboo,
a run, a drop back pass out of the same thing,
there's no tendency, there's no key there, So it makes
it harder for them. Also, like I was a guy
who I'd like to kind of, you know, figuring out
what the defense was the one before the snap. So
(06:46):
it's spreading things out and empty give me displacement, meaning
like putting a tight end running back outside. Give me
whether or not it's manner zone or sometimes in base personnel.
You can do some things in the formation, so there's
all sorts of different things you can do. What I
love about Kyle Shanahan is he's able to basically dictate
to the defense how to get them in the exact
(07:08):
look he wants, especially for shot plays and for.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Some of the boots he does, and that, to me,
he's powerful.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
There's some play callers who they're not really good at
doing that. They're not good at actually game planning to
put the stuff in to get what they want out
of the defense. So you go into a game, you
get a different look than what you're hoping for. That
makes it difficult. So yeah, there's definitely a difference you
can tell right away that with some of the best
player callers and some of the guys who are just
kind of out there calling plays.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
With all that being said, my opinion continues to remain
and hold true.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
The Niners are cooked. Damn they're cooked.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Like, yes, what can what can he do differently than
the other quarterback? Well, the one thing he won't do
different is win they're not gonna win.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
You don't think they're gonna beat New Orleans.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
They might lose to New Orleans.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
They could beat New Orleans with Mac tonight instead of
Mac Joe.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
Wow, they might lose against New or New Orleans.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Stinks. I know. No offense to Spencer Rattler, but come on.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Man, I mean, but let's keep the point where the
point is. So do to forty nine ers, am I?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
They won last week though.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
On the road. Shouldn't have won.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Like I mean, if Sam Donald, if Sam Donald can
just hold on to a ball, I mean talk about
like hand like. It's one thing to lose a game,
it's an other thing to hand the ball over, hand
the game over to the team.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
He literally handed the game over. If he doesn't do that,
who knows how it ends.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I'm just saying I'm not high on the Niners coming
into the season. I'm not high on the Niners after
Week one. They're dealing with injuries. The Kittle injury is
way bigger than the Party injury. It's way bigger. So
even if brock Perdy was still in there, Kittle being
out now there, their offense is totally crippled. You're you're
(09:38):
perceivably outside of Semac, that is your best weapon that
is now out for the next what for four weeks
they're I mean, they were in trouble with Kittle, they
were in trouble with Semac, they were in trouble with
the team they had that was coming into the season.
Now you name these injuries to two prominent figures on
(10:03):
the offense side of the ball, they're in more trouble.
They're in more trouble and where they're currently at right now, Yes,
they can lose to New Orleans and I would not
be surprised if they lose to New Orleans.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Cool, get out of here with that. So you're calling
you're calling it. You're you're calling money lines.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
What you're saying money line for New Orleans.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
If you're going money line on the Saints, Steve heard,
you know what that is. I think that's because you
enjoyed yourself so much in New Orleans for Super Bowl
Week that you're like, you know, let me throw.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Them a bone, you know. Oh yeah, let me with y'all, y'all.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Yeah, throw them a little bit of a bone. In
Week two, say they're going to beat the Niners. I
can't see it.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
I don't see it at all. And if there's not
that much of a drop off from brock Perty to
mac Jones, I don't think it's anything to be alarmed with.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Okay, do it this way, do it this way? What
if they lose to New Orleans? How will you guys
react to that?
Speaker 4 (11:11):
I'll give you a pad on the back.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, no, I don't want to paddle on the back.
I'm saying, how do you got?
Speaker 9 (11:17):
Like?
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Will what will your Yesterday?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I said this yesterday when we talked about all the injuries.
I said, I think like they've hit their ceiling. This
feels like a team that's like they've gone as far
as they were going to go. M h, even though
they've got a really easy schedule. I did probably didn't
say that well the other day. One of the reasons
why I have them going far is because they've got
a pretty easy schedule this year, so that should allow
(11:42):
them to position themselves well in the playoffs. And then look,
there's just not a lot of other competition in the NFC.
So I still think they're a playoff team. And by
the way, I still think mac Jones will do a
good enough job to help.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Them get a win.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
So I think the Niners is a super Bowl can
ender ship is sailed like that one sailed. But I
still I think they're a playoff team. I think they
can get there. I mean, look, especially if we're talking
about that division.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
And I can still jump forty two inches with my vertical.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Damn, that's high.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
What are you eating, Preseas Reses?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
No, we just talked about a health cack.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
I told you. That's why I'm not judging Lee.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Look oh no, oh no, is that you got?
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Man?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Help?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Is good like after after you get over a nice
cup of hot coffee, a nice little sweet to go
with it.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
I'm telling you, I do dumb stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
It's so I'm going to regret doing it, but it's
so good while I'm eating it.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
I just kidding.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I think it makes you lovable, honestly, Yeah, thank you,
thank you, appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Nice little piece of chocolate candy. Rece's is my favorite.
Now would you rather have pieces? Would you rather have real? Well,
that's what I was told on my weight scale, my chart.
Would you rather have Rec's pieces or recy cop.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Up to the point though, where like I'd rather have
Rec's pieces, But I wouldn't eat it like that. I'd
put it like in a cookie or something, or like
a milkshake. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
I think putting a whole bunch of candy.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
I'm not a big.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Candy eater either, but I do indulge when it is
readily available. Look y'all, saw Lee come back? Lee wants
to chime in on this because Lee's a sweet eater,
because Lee gets drunk.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
And that's I don't don't sweets at all.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Damn do you?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I mean, Loraina? Do you do you like Pieces or
Reese's cups better? Which one would if you had to
choose one.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
I'll do pieces all day.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Yeah, okay, let me ask you some reason they're better.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Let me ask you this regular Eminem's or Reese's Pieces,
pecs and guaranteed the sales would tell you otherwise more
people buy.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
M and ms than they do pieces. Crazy guaranteed, just
plain ass chocolate.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
And by the way, Lee, what about a mud slide?
If you don't like sweets, I guarantee you had a
mudslide before. I don't even know what that is. Look
up the ingredients in a mudslide They used to serve
them at at Fridays when I work there and it's
it's dessert with booze.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
Well, I do you like a good bourbon in my milkshake? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I would drink that. But that is a lot of
that's a lot of sugar that looks gross. But I
would drink it if it's got Oh, Clua and Tito's
all right, all right, never we're talking. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
cut down on those suits.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Didn't mean to twist your arm there, didn't mean to
put you in a difficult spot to have to make
a decision. But you can always go mud slide.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
And as of twenty twenty three, yes, Eminem's does hold
a higher sales over Reese's pieces.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
I don't get it. I don't get it. People, You
don't get what. Eminem's has higher sales Thane's pieces.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Regular Eminems. Yeah, man, Eminem's with nuts in them. Now
you give me some nuts in them, bad boy. Yeah,
I'm all the nuts. I like some some some eminem nuts. Yeah,
they both sell. I'll eat them joints all day long,
(15:47):
A whole bunch of chocolate nuts in my mouth all
day long.
Speaker 9 (15:50):
It was.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I don't know why but the Nuts just give it
a different flight, like a different play on it. I
mean the ones regular one. I don't got no thick said,
I don't got no thick tongue, one tongue normal I had.
I had a conclusion to that thought, but it wasn't
appropriate for radio.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
By the way, that I ought to tell you how
compelling that matchup is between the Saints and the Niners.
That we just veered off into Reese's pieces versus M
and m's to close up the topic. So put that
in your sweet tooth pipe and smoke it.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Everybody.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
There's there's the update on the forty nine ers and
their situation in a quarterback. So, by the way, I
mean battle of the back to back Super Bowls because
you know it was New Orleans last year. We're going
to be in the Bay Area, and everybody's looking forward
to that. That's real fire.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
That's a good.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Storyline for us. No one's excited to see Mac Johns
balls out.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
I am.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
I want to see I want to see it. I'm
looking forward to it. I'm in man. I would have
liked to have seen Sam Darnold get more opportunities. I
don't know how many I.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Do think San Francisco getting really protective of a Brock party,
especially when you ask a question like that where you're like, well,
what does brock Purty do a lot better than Mac Jones?
Like if I was to ask you, all right, what
is Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, you
would be able to quickly say that like, oh, those
guys will have this, this, this, this quality better. Right
(17:19):
when you saw brock Purty no a question like that,
It's like, well, I don't know, am I wrong in
saying that?
Speaker 5 (17:26):
No? And also and also I would say that it's
not necessarily a knock on brock Party to where like
he can't help where he was drafted in too's the
last pick of the draft. What is he supposed to do? Oh,
I got to get out of here so I can
go prove that I can do it in a worse
offensive system. No, he's played well. He's been to a
Super Bowl. He played well in that Super Bowl. But like,
(17:48):
if we're gonna be honest about Mac Jones, he was
a pro bowler and he did play pretty well when
he had a competent play caller in Josh McDaniel's in
New England and then they decided to do whatever Belichick
was trying to do and it just totally sent him
down the wrong path as a quarterback. So you could
probably make the argument this is the first time since
(18:10):
his Pro Bowl year that he's had competent play calling
around him. And that's why I want to see it.
I want to see was it that was the player?
Was the system? Was it his journey that he was on?
The path he was on. So I'm looking forward to it.
He's going to light up New Orleans. Barsta hater man,
I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Just don't be surprised when they come out of the
weekend with a loss.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
Man, That's all I'm gonna say. Where are they playing
them in New Orleans? Yeahs, it's a hard place to play.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
Oh you know is a little waily gun here? Yeah?
See over there? Sleep right now.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
All I know is.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
That that camera was off for a while between Lee
and Loraine. I'm not sure what's going on.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Oh wow, they're eating like it was off for a
long time.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
They're eating like tofu or something in the studio. What's
that crap you got cooked in there? Ratituy?
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Lorena went to a forking film thing last night where
they give you all the food that is playing in
the movie. The movie being Ratituey. So we were looking
at the menu and eating the leftover.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
You went to see Ratituei last night.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Jesus Christ, Why do y'all.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Keep going all these old movies?
Speaker 7 (19:20):
Well, I didn't go to this one, but I did
go see Yeah, I saw Jaws and Hamilton.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
But you eat while the movie's going.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
So it's like, oh, you ate out of a trash
can because the rat's eating out of a trash can
in the beginning.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
So Lee, what do you do when you're watching Jaws?
Eat Quinn? What did they bring out where they were
at a human being and eating him?
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Yeah? What do you eat?
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Huh?
Speaker 5 (19:39):
What was I eat?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
I ate?
Speaker 7 (19:40):
I did eat something good. I ate a good burrito
during that. It was it was oh no, that was
a I went to a forever cemetery showing up this
is spinal tap and I had a burrito, watched the cemetery.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
There's gotta be something else to do. I like, well,
that's a good thing to do. When you guys walked
through the doors and they like somebody came somebody can
somebody actually showed up here packed house.

Speaker 5 (21:25):
Right now, it is time for the triumphant return of
this I'm a winner.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Winning heres all illnesses, it really does.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
I'm going to win.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
It's Quinn's wins.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Yeah, yeah, that's right. And ladies and gentlemen, I'll be
honest with you, and it's not been a good season
thus far. I thought we were trending back in the
right direction after a one and two start, then to
a two and two start, and then we hit rock bottom.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
All right, We're like lead a lap on a Wednesday,
couldn't find a.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Way of picking ourselves up off the ground, and a
bunch to puke after a number of teams just puked
on themselves.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Duke just gave that game away to Illinois.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Michigan's offensive coordinator Chip Lindsay forgot he had a quarterback
that had a howitzer for an arm and acted like
we're in the nineteen thirties. We could only just run
the ball ole miss they go to Kroger Field. Apparently
they couldn't figure it a way of getting a produce
to produce some points. First, Kentucky and SMU, how are
you up fourteen points in the fourth quarter and you
(22:30):
just give that game away to Baylor. But I digress. Yeah,
new week, new opportunity, And here's what I'll say. If
you want to fade me, see if it works for
you this week. All right, And like most people, when
they get down, they dig in, and that's exactly what
I've done. So I'm not going with three games, not
going with four games. I'm going with five games. Okay,
(22:53):
we're going with five picks for this week. Let me
read them. We can figure out what we want to do.
After Clemson laying two and a half at Georgia Tech.
To me, this is a get right game for a
team that's been lackluster to say the least. Obviously, Clemson
lost ELISU to start the season, disappointing, started the game
versus Troy ended up winning, but I think the defense
(23:16):
is going to pitch a near shutout and offensively, I
think they put it together. They come around. So lay
the two and a half with Clemson versus Georgia Tech.
Next up Oklahoma laying a big number minus twenty one
and a half over Temple. Now this has the chance
to be what we'd call a hangover game, right you
just had a big win you beat Michigan. This is
(23:37):
one though, where I think you also have to take
into account with OU's schedule, and if you're Breton Venables,
you can't afford to not put up a bunch of
points versus teams that you should beat. Because we've heard
that the College Football Playoff Committee they're going to look
into the strength of the schedule even more so. So
not only tells me that they're not only going to
(23:57):
give you more credit for wins against good teams or not,
you know, not take away as much when you lose
to those good teams, but they're also going to factor
in if you only beat a bad team close. You
need to make that margin of victory big. So I've
got a number of really big favorites this week that
I do believe they're going to take care of business.
(24:18):
Oklahoma is one of them. Lay the twenty one and
a half points. I think John Mattier continues to make
his Heisman campaign. Next up Michigan at home, laying twenty
seven and a half versus Central Michigan again a get
right game for Michigan. They've got to respond. They've already
lost once. If they don't win the Big Ten and
(24:38):
you want to be a part of the College Football Playoff,
these sorts of games, you can't allow them to be close. Now,
the interesting thing is there's no Seon Moore. Remember he's
serving his suspension. Biff Pogi is taking over. If you
don't know about Biff, legendary human being. He's a guy
who had a hedge fund, decided to after he got
out of the hedge fund. Just coach Ball doesn't need
(24:59):
to work. He's been the head coach of Charlotte before.
Where's a cutoff. He is a legendary guy. He built
up in the Baltimore, the Gilman School, Saint Francis, a
number of those programs. It's all thanks to Biff and
him and what he's done. So in late the twenty
seven and a half, I know it's a big number.
Michigan will respond. Next up Alabama. They're laying twenty and
a half versus Wisconsin. Wisconsin has struggled mightily offensively, and
(25:25):
I think this is big, gonna be a big Mitch
mismatch in that sense. Alabama's defense has recovered and responded
since they're lost to Florida State and this is not
the same offense they're State facing in Wisconsin, and offensively,
they're starting to put some things together too, So lay
the twenty and a half here. Alabama is still a
really good football team. And finally, Georgia headed to Neeland
(25:46):
to take on the Tennessee Volunteers. Georgia is laying three
and a half as a road favorite. This is typically
a spot where you'd probably want to go the other
way and take the Volunteers. Unfortunately, history hasn't been kind
to Georgia and Tennessee in these matchups.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Specifically, Josh HYPEOVERUS Kirby Smart.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I think this is one of those games where George's
kind of flying under the radar, at least in the
national sense of some of the favorites to maybe have
a chance of winning it.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
I think they take care of business.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
They knock off Tennessee at home, you lay in the
three and a half here, So I get it all favorites,
but I also think this is going to be starting
to be the separation of the of the teams that
are playing for national championship and the pretenders.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Sometimes Quinn's wins, you'll be a winner. That's what I'm
talking about right there. And you know what it is
everybody else's fault. You know, whatever happened last week, it's
their fault. You know, it's their fault. They didn't want
to throw the ball. It's all their fault. That's the
exact approach you need to take if you have a
(26:45):
poor week. It's what I do makes you feel better too.
You can vent a little bit on poor performances and
you suck. Yeah whatever, that's fine, But it's a bounce.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Back because the picks are supposed to be correct. It's
the coaches and the players that mess it up.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Yeah, agreed, there's that element of it.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Yeah's that. Did you guys see that quote from Lamar Jackson?
Speaker 5 (27:08):
Uh what about the cramping?
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Yeah? With that?
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Yeah, So Lamar Jackson spoke, well, he he had two
different quotes. He had one about the cramping that took
place and referenced the poop game that he had a
couple of years back. And then he also had a
conversation about the fan that he shoved. So pick a card,
any card, which one do you guys want to hear first?
Speaker 9 (27:36):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Fan that he shoved.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Maybe all right, so let's hear this is Lamar Jackson
apologizing for some reason about shoving a fan who got
out of line.
Speaker 10 (27:44):
Don't get me wrong, I didn't try to, you know,
it just happened like I got pushed him, like what,
But I was like outside, I wasn't even thinking about
me being out there on the field. But my apologies
to that whoever that was. I don't know who it was.
I probably used to him like just ship next time.
Just you know, you could talk trash and keep your
hands to yourself. I've never seen any one of our
fans do nothing like that to an opposing team, you know.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
So just you know, just keep it football trash.
Speaker 9 (28:08):
You know.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
I know guy's gonna talk trash.
Speaker 10 (28:09):
I know, you know the opposting team's gonna tak tras
to keep it that way, you know, but keep your
hands and keep your object to yourself.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
I think I know why the guy shoved Lamar Jackson
and DeAndre Hopkins and acted the way that he did.
And im and I'm actually gonna defend him, uh in
this front because you know, we talked about, you know,
him being banned from NFL stadiums. Isn't punishment enough. He
should have to go do bowl in the ring and
just get war out by you know, NFL players since
(28:36):
he wants to put his hands on him. But maybe
there's something to this. What has been the big craze
that's gone on in sports over the past several months.
We've been asked Brady as Dean Blandino about it, and
it's people throwing, yeah, throwing dildos on the field. Let's
not forget who was the originator of this. It was
the Buffalo Bills, and they did it years in advance.
(28:58):
And yet it's these Johnnie Cumme latelies that pop up
start throwing stuff from their top drawer in their nightstand
out on the field, and the Bills are standing around going,
wait a second, we were the ones doing that first,
and everybody else is getting shine. Before everybody else was
inventing or throwing out neon green dildos on the field,
(29:19):
the Bills were bringing in flesh colored sex toys and
firing them at players and nearly hitting players in actual
NFL games. And so this guy's looking around going, well, now,
if we do it, we're gonna look like we're stilling
the idea we're not getting the love we deserve, so
why not just go ahead and put my hands on
a couple of players. I get it. I think it's
sound reasoning. Maybe not the best judgment, but I think
(29:42):
its sound reasoning as to why he acted the way
that he did.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
So you're saying, live game horseshoes but with Dil doo's, Yeah,
live game darts but with dil doos, Yeah, we won't
to be the originators of they were game.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
I mean they were doing this. So they were doing
this in twenty eighteen, and and now all of a sudden,
everybody's you know, through w NBA games, Like they threw
where was the NFL?
Speaker 3 (30:08):
So they got to start the new trend, which is
slapping players upside the head.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Hey, hey, gotta be their originator.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
You got to get some of your credit back. Makes
sense to me.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Hey, By the way, Lamar Jackson must be a really
really strong dude man, because that kid went back like
he got hit by like ryu.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Get yeah, yeah he did. He did light him up
pretty good.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
He went words and he was pushing up. He brought
he brought them hips that was like almost like an
explosive leg lift, like you know, like when you be
doing like them, you know them pools, you know pool.
Speaker 6 (30:52):
Yeah, and he'd be in that gym.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
He was playing the long game.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
And right now we welcome in a Thursday tradition here
on the show. He is the one and only Albert Brier,
Senior NFL reporter, lead content strategist at the MMQB. Get
him on X at Albert Brier A be good morning
at be Thursday to you.
Speaker 9 (31:23):
Hey, it was up God, we doing.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
We are good week One most surprising result for you,
either good or bad, was what.
Speaker 9 (31:38):
That's a good question? The most surprising, you know, God,
I don't know that. That was really stunned by anything. I
thought Caleb would look better, I think on Monday nights
than he did. I thought he held the ball and
I thought like it kind of still looked it looked
like he wasn't playing fast enough. I would say, I
(32:01):
don't know. I mean, like I know most people will
say the dolphins, but I thought the Dolphins were going
to have some problems, you know, coming out of the gate.
It sup me that Jonas, I don't know, I don't
know that anything was really shocking and any shock.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
You guys, Yeah, the Colts. I didn't think the Colts
were going to actually drum the Dolphins. I think there
are both teams. Maybe the Colts good.
Speaker 9 (32:25):
Yeah, I think the Colts are a good one. Brady,
I like and I think like it's probably another example
of like what what what happens.
Speaker 11 (32:32):
With quarterbacks in the NFL?
Speaker 9 (32:34):
You know, And I've been kind of an evangelist for
these guys, like you know, Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield
and Gino Smith and what do we give up on
guys who are highly drafted And the ultimate example of it,
probably from fifteen years ago is you know, it was
Alex Smith, you know, but I think, you know, Shane
Stikin did a good job of building an offense for
(32:56):
Daniel Jones, and you know, like really what they were
looking for and this was you know, sort of like
I think an interesting component to it. Like they gave
me the stat when I was there over the summer
where they were twenty ninth in the league in total
defense and thirtieth and giveaways last year and they still
won eight games, Right, So they bring in Leuen in
a romo to fix the defense, and then you know,
(33:19):
like really like what Shane's thing was was like, we
just need to play a lot cleaner on offense, and
we just need somebody to come in and operate, to
operate the system. And they didn't feel like Anthony Richardson
was doing that at a high enough level, and they
really felt like it was holding the talent they had
on that side of the ball back. And I think
what you saw with Daniel Jones wasn't necessarily spectacular, but
(33:43):
I don't think that that's what they thought they needed.
Like they felt like.
Speaker 11 (33:46):
What they needed was somebody who's gonna.
Speaker 9 (33:47):
Put you know, Michael Pittman and Josh Downs and Alex Pearson,
Tyler Warren and Jonathan Taylor in a position to make plays.
And that's exactly what Daniel Jones did, right.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Carley Earth wearing headphones in that Colts game, that did
that also add to your surprise.
Speaker 9 (34:08):
Of Yeah, yeah, I don't know how often the owners
on the headset I have bird stories about have you
guys heard about these? Like we're like sometimes they're in
the suite and they'll have like a transmitter or whatever,
or they'll have I don't know if it's an actual
headset all the time, Like maybe it's like just that
an earpiece or something, but they'll like be able to
(34:29):
hear it. Like have you you ever heard of that?
Speaker 11 (34:30):
Right?
Speaker 4 (34:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (34:32):
Yeah, I mean so, like, I guess it's not that
unusual that, like, you know, the owner, we want to
listen in. I don't know how much you're cleaning from
it if you're the owner, unless you're like, like I
just I mean, you guys know what it sounds like
those headsets.
Speaker 11 (34:47):
It's like if you don't really.
Speaker 9 (34:49):
Know what's going on, Like it's like everybody's talking in code,
you know what I mean. Like, so, but I think
we've seen that before too, So I don't know, I
it is a little bit of a weird look for
your first game as principal owner, but you know, I
don't think it's that on common that owners will kind
of hover in those.
Speaker 11 (35:09):
Sorts of ways.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
So, so part of the discussion we had it wasn't
so much about like whether or not she should be
doing this. It was more like, well, then you need
to be listening really throughout the week because otherwise you
don't really have the context to what's happening. And her
explanation of like well maybe someone tagged the wrong route
or and it's I'm like, okay, that's not how this works,
(35:32):
but you know it it sounds that's saying thing.
Speaker 9 (35:35):
Brady is like if you don't have that, like if
you weren't in practice every day during training camp, like
how would you be able to really make heads because
like it's like anything else, right, Like if you've had
a running conversation with somebody on something for a month
and a half and like you're and somebody just jumps
in and listens to you having that running conversation with
somebody about anything, like they're going to lack all the
(35:58):
context that you've got on it, right, Like I'm not
even just not just football, just like in anything, right, No, yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Mean you're right.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
And then but again it kind of just showed that
like even what she was saying, well, this problem, you know,
if it reveals itself, it's like, well that problem isn't
really a reality, is what she was trying to describe,
the greatest question becomes because when I heard this, my
first thought was, Ooh, that's bad for Shane's stiching then,
because Chris Ballard's not on that like a general manager
(36:28):
is not being evaluated with every single game on a
headset like that, right, So it almost led me to
think that, like if there is, because it's technically new
ownership in a way, Yeah, it almost led me to believe, like,
what's Shane Stikeen's in the crosshairs of them, not Chris Ballard.
Yet Ballard's been there for longer, they haven't won a division.
(36:49):
I think you could make some you could you could
have some questions about how they built this roster.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
Did you get that sense though, that.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Like maybe it's pointed at the coach for some reason
at least based on those kinds elements.
Speaker 11 (37:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (37:02):
I mean, look, I think you know it's weird because,
like I know a lot of coaches, there's a little
paranoia with coaches sometimes over this. And I think I
hesitate to use that word because I think sometimes it's
justified paranoia. I mean, I think in a lot of
cases is justified paranoia.
Speaker 11 (37:18):
Where like if there.
Speaker 9 (37:20):
Is any sort of divide, and I'm not saying there
is one between Chris and Shane. But like, if there
is any sort of divide between the coach and the
general manager, what the coach will say to you will
is well who sits.
Speaker 11 (37:31):
Next to the to the owner during the games?
Speaker 9 (37:33):
Right, And there's always this feeling like is the GM
up there picking apart? Like, well, I gave him the players,
Well look at how look at this guy's talent. Well
look at that catch that guy made. How come he
doesn't have seven catches?
Speaker 4 (37:47):
Look at that?
Speaker 9 (37:48):
Look at that? Look look at that? Look at that pressure?
The sense of end?
Speaker 11 (37:52):
God, how come we can't get him to the quarterback more?
Speaker 9 (37:54):
You know what I mean? Like, so that definitely can exist,
and you know, in a lot of cases, like the
owner will feel a little bit more I would be
a little bit more connected to the general manager, because
the general manager is a front office person. The general
managers generally more of a suit you know. So so yeah,
(38:16):
I mean I think those sorts of dynamics exist. And
I would say this, like, if if you have a
coach who is in any way dealing with any sort
of pressure on his job, you have to be very
careful about the things that you do to exacerbate that
(38:36):
and I would say, like if if there's any sort
of feeling the shamestake is coaching for his job this year,
I think you just have to have like the self
awareness to know, if you're the owner, this is going
to have to be a really bad look for him.
This is not going to make me look good, and
this is ultimately gonna create a problem for for for
(38:59):
him and his staff and potentially something that could seep
into the locker room. So I'm with you on that,
like that you have to be aware of the of
the of the spot that you're in, and maybe that's
just part of the process and in learning how to
do the job of becoming the principal owner.
Speaker 11 (39:14):
If you're probably court.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
Aybe uh Brian day Ball, he made a decision that's
a I don't know if it's considered a gutsy decision
or the most sensible of decisions, but he named Russell
Wilson the starter going into Week two of the NFL season.
What's your take on that and how much runway and
(39:40):
your estimation does Dave Ball have.
Speaker 9 (39:44):
So I think I think a lot of this is
going to relate back to the offensive line they didn't
have Andrew Thomas in week one. We'll see, you know,
when they get him back. That's a really big deal.
Guys like I like, I like, I feel like this
is this is a piece of this puzzle that people
have really overlooked.
Speaker 11 (40:03):
They spent a lot of resources and rebuilding.
Speaker 9 (40:06):
Their offensive line last year and they felt like, all right,
like the first five or six weeks of the season,
they actually played pretty well, and then Andrew Thomas, their
left tackle goes.
Speaker 11 (40:17):
Down, and then one thing.
Speaker 9 (40:19):
Led to another and the whole thing imploded and.
Speaker 11 (40:21):
It became a big mess again.
Speaker 9 (40:23):
And so like this year, they've gone back and they've
doubled down on the same group. So it's you know,
it's it's Thomas an illumina at the tackles. It's been
Rodin and run In at the guards, and it's and
it's it's it's Schmid's at center. Right, So you've got
the same group coming back. You've made that conscious decision
(40:45):
that you know, we did get it right in twenty four,
but the Thomas injury undermined everything. And so like, you know,
you've made that bet on your offensive line. When Thomas
gets back in there, you'd hope things stabilize and I
think if things stabilized, then that when you've got the
Lee way to go to Jackson Dart.
Speaker 11 (41:03):
They think the world of them.
Speaker 9 (41:04):
I said this over the summer, like I like, I like,
I really feel like, if anything, the least got shorter
on Russell Wilson as Jackson Dart really started to check
check every box with the coaches, and they have already
displayed to all of us in a public way by
making him the second quarterback they would feel comfortable putting
him in a game right here, right now. So you know,
(41:26):
I think, you know, part of this is just kind
of making sure that you're you're looking out for the
development of the young quarterback and in trying to put
him in a good situation. And you know, I think
as far as that goes, it's going to be like
when that offensive line is stabilized, then you feel comfortable
putting him in there. And then I think Russell Wilson's unnoticed.
But he's got to play a lot better than he
(41:47):
did last week, that's for sure, because a lot of
the problems the Steelers people had with the way he
played last year. We're certainly there on Sunday against the Commanders.
Speaker 5 (41:57):
Albert Breer, Senior NFR reporter, Lead content Strategy, said, the
MMQB joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, get him
on x at Albert Breer. So, you'd mentioned the Dolphins
performance that you weren't totally surprised by it because you
didn't have high expectations for him. But it just feels
like the conversations are getting louder and louder surrounding Mike McDaniel, Like,
(42:19):
what are you hearing from people as to how thin
the ice is that he's currently operating on.
Speaker 9 (42:27):
Well, so I think i'd said, there are a couple
of things.
Speaker 11 (42:29):
You know. First of all, he was extended last year,
so you would be.
Speaker 9 (42:32):
The the this is never a non tacktor. The owner
would be eating some money and all of that. That's
that's not a non factor. And I think Mike's a
I think Mike's a really good coach, you know. I like,
I think he from a tactical standpoints, one of the
best in the NFL. You know, But like there were
these questions with him, like before he became a head coach,
(42:52):
what happens when the bleep it's the fan and then
you hear stuff, you know, through the off season is
that place. Is that building healthy right now?
Speaker 11 (43:03):
Is the locker room healthy right now?
Speaker 9 (43:06):
They go through a bit of a rebuild and trading
Jalen Ramsey Toront Armstead retires. You know, I think they've
aged out and in certain positions, and he's got two
problems now, Like I think, the first problem is that
a lot of the narrative flows into the fact that
the effort didn't look good, that did not look like
(43:27):
a team that had a lot of energy playing against
the Colts on Sundays. So when you want to call
him narratives, whatever they are over the last few months,
they sort of match what happened in the opener. So
that's problem number one. Problem number two is that if
you are going through this sort of reset where you're
moving off of this team, this group that you went
all in on while Tuo was on his rookie contract,
(43:50):
this would be the natural time to start asking big
picture questions. Is this the guy that we want to
lead our rebuild? If we are going to rebuild, is
this the person that we want? And a kind of
a sidebar to that is the fact that you've got
a guy in your defensive coordinator, Anthony Weaver, who some
people view as a as a future head coach who's
(44:12):
interviewed head coaching job, So you have somebody on your
staff that you might want to take a look at.
Speaker 11 (44:19):
So like, I'm not declaring it's over after one week.
Speaker 9 (44:21):
They've got plenty of time to come off the mat.
Week one's weird. You know, they could come come out
and rip off three straight wins and this conversation looks stupid.
But you know, I'd say those two things are really
sort of working against Mike right now. You know, I'd
say number one again like kind of how the narrative
matched the effort on Sunday. And then number two, like
(44:45):
the fact that they're at this, you know, this natural
point of resetting some things with the roster where you
do ask those big picture questions on whether or not
you want the current leadership leaving the rebuild.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
We were just having this conversation about the San Francisco
forty nine ers kind of where that team's at.
Speaker 4 (45:03):
You know, mccaffree is still doing with the calf.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
Injury, pretty cry out multiple weeks Kittles on IR. I mean,
it just it feels like this is a team that
hit their ceiling, and you know might be a playoff
team because the NFC is obviously weaker than the AFC,
but is probably closer to a rebuild or treading in
that direction more so than a team that's that's building.
Speaker 4 (45:25):
Do you disagree with that?
Speaker 2 (45:26):
Like where where would you say the San Francisco forty
nine ers are out at this point?
Speaker 9 (45:30):
So like they actually have like kind of started to rebuild, Brad.
They played a lot of rookies on defense on Sunday,
and they I think are starting to lean into some
younger players on offense as well. And you know, like
that that's Ricky Piersoll, you know, like that's you know,
I think Juwan Jennings when he gets healthy is and
(45:52):
other piece of that, like you know, I's not old
and Auka's Ayuka is not out there right now, you know,
so they are starting to lean on some some younger players.
Speaker 11 (46:04):
You know.
Speaker 9 (46:04):
It's interesting the conversation I had with Kyle and John
Lynch about this over the summer, a lot of it
centered on like how the guys that they let go
this year, the difference is that those are guys like
those aren't guys that they didn't want to keep, you
know what I mean, Like they let go of some
guys they really like, Like they like.
Speaker 11 (46:22):
Sufungo, they like green Law, they like.
Speaker 9 (46:25):
Jordan Mason, you know, who wound up with the Vikings.
Speaker 11 (46:28):
So they let go.
Speaker 9 (46:29):
Of guys that they really thought, like, you know, these
guys still have something left. We still like these guys,
you know. And it was because the realities of going
all in over the last few years. Now here's the
good news. The good news is they still have like
a crew of like Hall of Fame play Hall of
Fame level players, right, so Nick Bosa and Fred Warner,
(46:49):
George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey. And then you know, if you
combine that with all right, like we're playing a lot
of rookies who should be better in December than they
aren't September, you can see where maybe this all does
come together with a weaker schedule, you know what I mean,
Like maybe this is an eleven or twelve win team
that's supremely well coached. Here's the problem with that, though,
(47:12):
is they're already really banged up. And is that a coincidence, right,
or is that just happen what happens with an older team.
Because Kittle's banged up, you know, like McCaffrey's banged up,
you know, like, is this just hey, it's an older.
Speaker 11 (47:29):
Team, like this is what happens?
Speaker 9 (47:30):
You know. Well, we'll have to see. But if they
can keep those older guys on the field, if Warner
and Bosa and Kittle gets back out there, and Purdy
gets back out there, and McCaffrey can stay healthy, if
they can keep those guys healthy and going, then I
still think they have a shot just because of the
strength of the program.
Speaker 5 (47:49):
All right, so moment are true there?
Speaker 6 (47:52):
Right?
Speaker 5 (47:52):
Enough? With all the shenanigans, Albert Brier, do you believe
that this Saturday, when it's all said and done, that
the Ohio State Buck guys will have beaten the Ohio
Bobcats by more than thirty and a half points at
the shoot?
Speaker 9 (48:13):
Well, oh, You've got a special place in my heart
for the Halloween's. I've spent there back in the day,
and they're a pretty good team, right.
Speaker 11 (48:22):
Like I did beat West Virginia.
Speaker 9 (48:24):
Am I right about that?
Speaker 6 (48:25):
Right?
Speaker 5 (48:26):
I believe?
Speaker 9 (48:27):
So?
Speaker 5 (48:27):
Yeah, they're one in one.
Speaker 9 (48:30):
Yeah, I mean you know what, like you know what,
I'll throw you a bone? Oh maybe, oh you covers
thirty five.
Speaker 6 (48:36):
Like that close?
Speaker 5 (48:37):
Loss at Rutgers for Ohio in Week one, and then
they followed that up with a win against West Virginia.
As you pointed.
Speaker 9 (48:43):
Out, they did they not win the MAC last year?
Speaker 11 (48:46):
Is that right?
Speaker 5 (48:48):
I don't recall.
Speaker 10 (48:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (48:50):
Yeah, you have been, you have been, you have been,
you have been thrilled down on the on the on
the MAC.
Speaker 5 (48:56):
Well, I'm just I'm surprised that you gave as much
love as you did to the opponent because normally it's
a very one sided synopsis of a game involving Ohio State.
And here you are throwing love. And and those Halloween parties,
those Halloween parties did they they won the MAC last year? Aby?
How good were those Halloween parties? That that was the
(49:17):
lead as opposed to your Buckeyes and your Brady.
Speaker 9 (49:20):
You can talk Brady. You I mean, you're in Ohio
and you've ever been to Halloween that Athens?
Speaker 5 (49:26):
I think I think we're having we got some technical
difficulties with Brady at this point.
Speaker 11 (49:31):
Oh, that's unfortunate.
Speaker 9 (49:32):
No, Halloween and Athens is one of I would say
that's a hidden American gem.
Speaker 11 (49:37):
Is Halloween in Athens, Ohio?
Speaker 9 (49:40):
It is It is something else for sure. So yeah,
I spent I spent a couple of halloweens in Athens,
and that's got a special place in my heart. Uh, fantastic,
fantastic place. Joe burrows hometown too.
Speaker 5 (49:52):
Yeah, I can imagine. I can imagine that was fun.
Speaker 6 (49:56):
He's took place there. Huh.
Speaker 11 (49:59):
Lots of lots of as it can't be discussed on
this bro.
Speaker 5 (50:03):
Oh yay, that's why they call it ath them bashing bobcats.
All right, a b thanks man, we appreciate it. We'll
do it again next week. Enjoy the games, all thank you.
