Speaker 1 (00:02):
I want to chime into what's happening with your favorite
KFAM program. Make your voice heard on the Bradshaw and
Brian text line. Let us know what you have to
say by texting your messages six four six eighty six.
That's six four six eighty six standard message in data rates.
Apply a couple.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Thirteen fourteen pass Common Man program. I'm Comedy's ten to
b one more hours ago. We turn it over to
Big Ticket and JAG next. We have our bratch on
Brian Kavan text line. It's six four six eight six
and that you can contact us that way. Here's one
(00:47):
that came in that says, frustrating when the quarterback it's
all the blame.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Is anyone paying attention to this?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Fagans are number one in different offensive line combinations. We
had thirteen penalties yesterday. Maybe one of those was on McCarthy.
Chemistry is the key and we didn't have that yesterday.
McCarthy will do better when the rest of the team
starts doing better. Sounds like Steve Ramdina wants to absolve
McCarthy from any process.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Because he's really young. He's a young kid. He's nine
as alter ego. Well, of those.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yesterday the offensive line was was there other than brand Dell,
who the team is raved about as a center.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
So they had their offensive line yesterday. The inconsistent offensive
lines were when Carson Wentz was.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Plat is correct.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
So yesterday they had their offensive line, and I think
the week before they had their offensive line. And he's
only played four games. In Week one, they had their
offensive line other than Derris because he didn't didn't he
didn't play week one?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Did he did? He take to.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
So sorry, And you know a lot of teams. I mean,
just because you're number one in different offensive line combinations
doesn't mean other teams are struggling with that.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
They all It happens to all teams.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Also, of those thirteen panels of yes, I think eighted
more because his cadence was off.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
They were directly on the quarterback.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Didn't even the head coach had been and they said, well,
had some cadence issues there.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Those false starts.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Apparently the quarterback was doing he was trying to kiss people.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Of guard and he threw the whole team off.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Were those interceptions on the offensive line, and that's the
other thing. I don't think they were He had some
time on those.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, so sorry, Steve, you're barking up the wrong tree.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Take that to somewhere elsewherethy.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
And this is the tough Love Covenant, And we like
the kid. I think the kid. He's bright, he's athletic,
he's got a good arm, he's.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
He has a chance to be good.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Fearless, Yeah, he's fear as, he has a chance to
be He's nine.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
No more do you need to know? Did we have?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
You have? You have double O seven and you have nine?
I mean these are there's any other numbers out there?
People associated uners. You have the Fantastic four. Speaking of
Marvel comics, the thing, the flamethrower guy flaming towards stretch.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
O guy and then whatever. I don't know what the
gal did. She did something.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
No one's arguing that the kid's going to have a
learning curve. My whole point, and this has been all time.
I just think they they the team expected more from
him because they they had a franchise quarterback and Sam Darnold.
They said we don't want him. Danny Dimes was a
very high Wasn't he a six pick overall? Wasn't Danny Jones?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
All right? So he's a top ten pick.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
If they had they offer in the right amount of money,
he would have stayed and Aaron Rodgers would have been here.
But they were bound to determined to stay with this
kid and saw all.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
So all I'm saying is God bless him, and I
want to give him a chance. But I just think
that I think that the brain trust here thought they
were going to get a lot more of them out
of him.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
At this point of the season.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
There's a disconnect there between him and the star wide receiver.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
There's just there's nothing there.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Now there's a and I don't know, is this sacrilegious
to say this?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Now?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
It was a hospital ball, the one in the end
zone that JJ didn't catch.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
It's called alligator arms. Did you see it? Did that look?
Alligator arms? Should all you would look?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I feel like the defender might have gotten a little
bit of his hand on that one. But but you
expect to catch him. I would high expectations for him.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, and so no, I did. Long term, the kids
should be good and the team. I you know, we
also have to look at the age of the club too,
don't they Aren't we like one of the older teams
in the National Football Yes.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
We have a lot of aging veterans enough, not a
lot of superstar young players.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah, the problem because of the drafting has gone the way.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Did Swett sure would like that Hamilton kid? That was
Baltimore yesterday?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
We had an opportunity. Who do we get Louis?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
We could have had Hamilton were we traded down and
took scene? Can you imagine Hamilton and be flows defense?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Do you see? You know who else is a good player?
Was that rope Kwan Smith?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Is that his name? She considered a good player because
he looked good yesterday?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Ye he he was.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I'd like to have him on my club.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Speaking of the of the Lions, did this is one
that I think that could come? And he was doing
a kind of half jokingly, but it's true. But this
is what comes back to bite you because you know
they they just gave another huge contract out to Aiden Hutchinson. Right,
They've given huge contracts like nine guys on the team,
I mean breathtaking the big conference and they asked Campbell
(06:13):
about it last week and I said, well, we're just
going to keep spending money.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Till we don't have any left.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
That's what he said, which he is he is telling
the truth, we're just gonna spend it till we don't
have any left, and they're pretty close to not having
any left. So yeah, they if if, if your ownership there,
my guess is you're hoping for a big game this year.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Next year, because after that, I think ownership, after all
the teams they've gone through, they are very pleased.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
But what I'm saying is if they don't get it,
I don't know how they're going to fight that salary cap.
They've they've got a lot of money invested in players
right now.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
They got money and golf.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
And Gibbs and but they're invested in good plays. They
sound like you're stuck. They got other good players. You're
in Jacksonville and your stuff with Trevor Lawrence on you
a huge deal, Like Gibbs is a superstar, Hutchinson's a superstar,
Goff is a top eight quarterback, aman Rossaint Brown's a
top ten wide receiver. I mean, at least they're put
(07:13):
their money in the right places.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Well, you're right, this one says comin.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Can I get your take on the lack of use
regarding Hawking Fuss. Prior to the season, I read a
few items that said he would need to be very
important piece of the offense considering nines in experience. Is
he just not getting open or are we just more
focused on deeper passes. I think it's probably more complicated
than that. And again I don't watch the twenty two
wide and I don't see the game plan.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I think I don't think there's any question.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
The coach can say whatever he wants about wanting to
run the ball more.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
He likes a vertical passing game. He likes to air
it out. It's fun. Two fans love it.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Is there anything better than watching a court You watched
Detroit yesterday.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Every pass play is.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Eight, ten, fifteen, twenty yards downfield, huge gains.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
They shredded worsh As a fan, it's fun. You love it.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
But you got to have the weapons and the tools.
And I don't know if jj he's got a good arm,
But I don't know if he's if if if we
saw the accuracy yesterday, there was none.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
He has no I was gonna say, like there's one
common denominate because he just asked about Hockinson. You could
say the same thing about Justin Jefferson, right, he's underperformed. Yep,
Jordan Addison, who I kept braving about in training camp,
and I know he missed the first three games with
the suspension, but he looked like he was gonna be
a superstar in training camp and watch him and join
Prex's he's been just okay. Like it's this is across
(08:35):
the board here. This is an entire offensive correct failure
and that probably starts at the quarterback, and maybe the
head coach's expectations for the quarterback plays a role in it.
But it's not just one guy here. It's everything's and
and offensive line. Yep, he has something to do with it,
of course.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
If again, I know want to bring up the Lions
a lot, but I followed them closely.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Their offensive line was.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
In ruins last week and they lost to the Bike
Hogany was out yesterday, he got knocked out of the game.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
They had a rookie starting.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I don't think the guy'd ever played a snap in
the NFL, or if he had, it was very few.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
So they were there.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
They're mix All these teams are mixing and matching people,
so there's plenty of blame to be spread around.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
And the point is well taken.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
The offensive line has had its issues, though yesterday it
had their new center that they're thrilled with, and we're
not going to see the other guy on't together again.
We may, but I mean he's got two concussions five
in his career that we know of. But they had
Dearris on the left and O'Neil on the right, and
they have Jonah the young kid in the left guard
position and our right tackle whoever he is. I came
(09:35):
to the Fries guy. They we got our guys. That's
the line we're going to go with. The thing with Hawkinson,
there's no yards after the catch ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,
He's never had a yard after the CASI. I'm exaggerating
some but you saw yesterday. How many catch do they have?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
You two? And he had he was tackled immediately.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I have I think that most of our guys.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
You watch Laporta, his first catch of the game is
he was dragging four Washington guys.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
With dragging them, he makes yards after the catch.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
That's why the lines traded Hawkinson for a second and
a third so they knew Laporta was waiting.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Who on our team is a yet guy. I don't
know if we have a yet We never have a
guy that catches like a seven yard crossing route and
turns that into forty yards.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Speedy yesterday had one.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Sure, Speedy had the one play where he turned it
into a sixty two yard gain as biggest.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
But even that was a deep throat.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Yeah, and Hawkinson's an okay player.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
He's good. He's a good taste, got good hands. I
mean he had that one in the back of the
end zone. Was that the one that they ruled against
him and didn't give it to him? Or did a
good overturned in a terrific catch. Guy's got good hands.
I think he can block as far as I know,
and I think he runs a quality pattern. But I
don't see him getting a lot of yards after catching,
as you just pointed out a lot of the biking stone.
(10:59):
So I don't know, and I don't know if if
the if the coach is enamored with throwing the ball long,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
It's sure seems like it.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I do wonder on a lot of these third and
ones that they've had now, clearly KOs is designing plays
in which there's a deep route included. I do wonder
how much of it is on KOC and how much
of it is the quarterbacks making bad decisions and kocs
just trying to cover for the quarterback. That could be
as well, because it does seem a lot third and
one where they're just taking I even mentioned it in
(11:37):
the Detroit when the last play of the game. To me,
that pass the Jalen there was not a high percentage play. No,
it worked, they completed it. It was a great throwing,
great catch. But for a must have situation, I want
a little bit higher percentage plays than that, and they
seem to do that all the time on their third
and fourth and shorts. Heck, the touchdown they got yesterday
(11:57):
Jalen Naylor on fourth down, great throw, great catch, is
not a very high percentage play. That was pretty good coverage.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
There are people, and again this is very unscientific, but
there are people that.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Put a lot of the blame on the head coach.
You know this text Messenger says, this is an interesting.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Angle, is over coaching hurting nine chaos is talking about
climbing in the pocket too far that you bring a block,
passing a play and then there's far But ad minute
after he retired, he didn't know what Cover two was.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I told the story about when I think it was the.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
One of the coaches of the Vikings during Adrian Peterson's here,
I had to go up to far.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
After practicing, go could you do me a favorite?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Could you explain the play to Peterson when when you
call it because he doesn't know the plays. Adrian just
ran the ball. Just give him the ball, run, just
look for right and says something. And it worked for
very well. He won the MVP Award in twenty ten.
He didn't need no place give him the ball.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Athletically was athletically away.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
He was probably second to none.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
But yeah, I mean there is the idea. I mean,
if you'll remember what they here's what they did with
the quarterback. He played Week one, he was bad for
three quarters, was really good against the Bears in the
fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
They won. Next week, did not play well at all.
Ended up.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
It was after the game. He never left the game
that I'm aware of. And maybe if he left, he
came back, because he finished the game right. He comes
back and then they say, well, he's got a high ankle,
sprang out for a while, and it was up for
five weeks and Wentz got beat like a pinion. But
I brought this up several times, the coach said, this
will give us time, and again he says is word
(14:00):
for word, but he said, this will give us time
to work with some of the mechanics we.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Need to work with. You know, KOs is really big.
How many times has he.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Talked about having your eyes and your feet aligned? And
that's probably true.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I'm not a quarterback. I was a fierce pass rushing
rock and gibralta run stopping defensive lineman and a precise route.
Weren't sure in a pass catching tight end. Now what
we did pick up basketball or pick up football as kids,
you know, back in my elementary school days. Let's just
say I played quarterback a lots. I was very I
had a very good arm. Couldn't throw the deep ball
very well, but I could.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I could spin it. But you know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Sometimes you just got to let a guy go around
and wing it out there too. But of course you
don't want if you want to go with it. He's
really young. People love to go with the he's really
young and thinking, well, it's been playing. He went to
a football academy that don't you remember, haven't you read
a story? He was one of those guys that went
to that famous if I unless I'm thinking of the
wrong quarterback, could have swore I read he went to
(15:01):
that famous quarterback academy. He spent his informative years there.
It's like, it's not that complicated. It's football. It's hut one,
hut two, hut.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Three or so.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
That's what our cadence is always wrong. And then it's
dropped back.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
You know who's supposed to be open, who's not supposed
to be open?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
You know where they're supposed to be. Don't hang onto
the ball, don't throw it so low that the guy
just has to stick his hand up like he's saying.
How many people can use the word four in a sentence?
You know, you raise your hand in class and go
too plus two be four. That's all you know? There
are certain things you should already know at twenty two
years of age. Sorry, we'll break, we'll come back. Tenneby's

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Double thirteen fourteen past. I'm common. He's tend to be
tenn to be. It was a.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Texts non aop email I received that I saved.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Oh yeah, this one tend to me.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
This is actually an email send too common on Saturday,
about a quarter past eleven. It says common, This Indiana
coach sounds a lot like you. Just before kickoff, one
of the sideline reporters went with Indiana's never won a
Beaver Stadium. How does that change today? He replied simply
(17:49):
with well, this team has never played there. I just
love it, you know, because that's the that's that mindset,
especially fans and media, but particular media.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
You know, when you're doing like.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
The Twins, remember when they hadn't won a game, they
hadn't wont to playoff, give for eighteen straight games. It's
like two thousand and two or two thousand and five,
whenever it was, and they'd want to lost eighteen in
a row, and it's like, well, that's the franchise, not
the team. There's a difference the current team. None of
those players were around during any of those eighteen losses.
(18:25):
So it doesn't mean anything to them. I mean they
might be aware, maybe be brought to their attention. You know,
the Twins as a franchise haven't won a playoff game
in eighteen straight games.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Didn't know that? Well that's not very good, is it?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
But it has nothing to do with the current players
on the team. So same thing, especially even more so
in college football, because kids are only there for what
maximum foy unless you're the goal for sometimes you play
six or seven years. But otherwise for Parker Fox, if
you Parker Fox, you played there six or seven years.
Otherwise you're there for what four years, three whatever?
Speaker 3 (19:00):
I don't know. Can they come out early in college football.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yes, not as early as basketball, but so I think
they have to play three years.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Okay, So I kind of liked this Indiana coach.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
And I remember at first when he see the cocky,
what did they ask him if he was a good coach?
He said, google me. My record's in there. And he
looks grouchy. I've never seen him smile. Won't you smile
a mile a while for me, Sarah?
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Smile? He doesn't need his face up foot.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
These football coaches are a different breed, right, They just
are by his team.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
That's the other thing. You know, when you look at.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
The golphers, you know they talk about it hard to
win here, almost hard to win in Indiana, too, wasn't it?
Indiana wasn't any better in football than the golfers. A
matter of fact, I've bet has been worse in football
over the past thirty forty five years. And the Gophers
have they found a guy, and I don't know if
it's all him now. I know the comeback will probably
be about the nil money. But do we know that?
(20:08):
Do we know exactly how much nil money is being spent?
I know each university can spend like the university itself Candola.
Was it twenty million dollars twenty point three or something?
I don't even know if I thoroughly understand it. I
truly understand it. But the U has each university can
pay money out of the university coffers, but a lot
of the money I think comes from nil name, image
(20:30):
and license. Where tarp shooter, the burgeoning tarp shooter industry.
You could go ahead and you could pay, say i'll
get yeah, go ahead, here's money. Give that kid a
half million dollars. Let him play point guard for the
Minnesota Golden Golphers. You could do that if you want.
But I don't know if we know how much each
(20:51):
one of these teams is given, is it. Maybe Indiana's
loaded with that, you know, And I get the small
you know, the communities which like an happy valley. That's
all they have going in happy valley. The rest of
the valley's unhappy. But with the football team they're happy,
Well not right now, but you know what I mean. So, yeah,
so there are more boosters than there's.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
More to get.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I think Indiana's got Mark Cuban on their side.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Oh do they really?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I think that's what you need.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
All right, Well it's working.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
We need one guy with cash or one gal with cash.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Google me. Did you see how they won? The game.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Speaking of Penn State, they were on the ropes Indiana
and the scenario scenario then I always paint for you, right,
I know you're tired of hearing it, but you know,
show me a quarterback with it a minute two to go,
no timeouts, needs a tounny and drive down the field
and win hostile and Mormot.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Who's the kid? Is it? Who's the kid?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
For Indiana's quarterbacks? And Mendoza his name Mendoza, I think
that's his name. Maybe you could google it for me.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
And I think the first play they had no timeouts,
Fernando Mendoza they.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Had He's gonna win the Heisman Trophy no timeouts, if
I ever, if I understood it, I didn't see the game.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I was out doing.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I did five hours of yard work. Can he even
blow my horn for me? Just don't put your lips
on five hours of fall? Clapp put it off to
the last minute. Well what would you ten to be?
Let's see we do some fall clean up on a
nice Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I'm going to play.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Golf, Dug winning Dug golfing. But anyway, so I did
watch the Iowa Oregon game. Was really good. I thought
I would just get destroyed, but they would. They played,
they they lost late. That was a really good football
after college football game. I loved it, enjoy it. But anyway,
(22:49):
Indiana drove with no timeouts. I think there was just
a touch over a minute to go and they drove
down the field. If you saw the throw and catch,
have you seen the replayoff?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
See? Yes, big time catch in a big time throw.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
He was falling backwards and unlike JJ, Now how young did.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Think McCarthy's McCarthy Mendoza? Oh how old thing?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Mendoza no idea somewhere between eighteen and twenty two.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
He had no problem making a big time throw and
didn't overthrow his wide receiver. He wasn't too young to
make the play.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
He made the play, really good play.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
So yeah, that was fun. But yeah, I just like
a coach that looks as a Yeah that what what
the school did in twenty fifteen, twenty ten, two thousand
and five.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Two eighteen.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
None of that has anything to do with the current
current franchise. This text message said, I think the key
the Indiana's They are more focused on playing winning football
than they are rowing the boat.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Oh that's a cheap shot else average, let.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Me see where I can find it. Somebody said, I
don't need to have it. I can, I can, I can.
The The point of his text message was, oh boy,
here we go another another O'Connell news conference where he's
taking all the blame. He's not the only coach that
(24:35):
does that. I think coaches do that more and more
now than ever before. Where they go's on me that
I was going to bring up. PJ does it all
the time.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
It's not on me.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
He does so much, you know, hope. Well, technically it
is on PJ because he's the one who brings in
all the players, right, So I mean, ultimately it is
on PJ.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Danny Campbell does it.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I watched his news conference every time, you know, we
have taken some things up, we got clean things up.
We will you know, it's everybody looking the coaching staff
and me and starts with me, and it does I
do like the guy that.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Does the was it Herbert Hoover.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Or was it James Edgar Hoover or was it Hoover
vacuum cleaner guy?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Maybe it was Dewey and Truman.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
They said the buck stops here, right, And that's what
a head coach is supposed to do. But sometimes if
they just say it over and over and over again
and the results don't change after why it's going, Well,
what do.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
They call it?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Lip services like, well, great, you've been saying that for
weeks and months and years now and finally, so we'll
see if they get things change. We'll take our final
break and come back.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
With the final sigment in the program. I'm the common
Man program. You're on the fan. Ye, all good things
must come to an end. Common Man Show.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Wraps up in about six seven minutes.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
That's suit a little longer ready, it'll be double.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
A lot of people are pretty about six seven fall
start penalties yesterday.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yeah, well tack on a few more.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
But yeah, you're right, there are no no question about that. Uh.
A lot of people are texting the Bratch on bron
Cape and text line this one, you know, because we
had we had a Steve I think it was was
it Steve I think was making excuses for JJ.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
None of it was his fault, none of it was
everybody else's fault. It was the team, and the team
is better.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
He'll be better, Tim says hey, common The Chargers have
lost their two best offensive linemen for the year. Ones
in all Pro, the other one's a pro bowler. They've
won their last three games. They're now seven to three. Funny,
we shall overcome, You can overcome. The other thing is
is they also have a coach who likes.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
To run the football. They rushed the ball.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
How many times do you think the San Diego Chargers
run the football this year? Tend to be two hundred
and sixty four In case you're wondering.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Well, they're also down to their third string running back
as well, are they really?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Meanwhile, the Bikings have run the ball two hundred times
sixty four more times.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
That's a lot.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
That's a lot of a lot of a lot of
addition runs. Some teams want to have a nice blend.
Other teams want to throw throw, throw the ball gently
down in the field.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Well, and what's most puzzling is they had a nice
blend in their win against Detroit.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
They did.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
They ran the ball against Detroit. You think you'd follow
that that blueprint back?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Yeah, well and they did. If you'll remember, and let
me let me grab the gamer here from fish Wrap
Factory West Side. I think it was in the takeaways
part or let me see what it was, Go ahead,
give it to me. Yeah, here it is takeaways it says,
(28:14):
maybe it wasn't in the takeaways. Oh, here it is.
This is this guestling. Yeah, this has been Guestling's piece
from yesterday's game. It says the Vikings had eight led
ten to nine at halftime and started the second half
with back to back Jones runs that gained twenty two yards.
(28:36):
That's an eleven yard average tend of in case you're
wondering at home, and for keeping, if you're scoring at home,
it's eleven yards of carry. But after McCarthy hit Jordan
Addison for four yards on second down, Vikings lined it
with two tight ends and two running backs.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
On third and one.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Instead of going back to the run, O'Connell dialleth of
a play action shot out of heavy personnel, McCarthy threw
a second pick of the as Jefferson fell down in
the play, Ravens drove sixty yards for a field goal
to take the lead for the first time of the game.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
That was.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
One of the main points of conversation in the head
coaches day after the game news conference, which you heard
on this radio station, and he was asked about it
point blank by one of the reporters head members said
basically was saying, do you have any second.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Thoughts on that?
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Do you wish you'd run the ball, and said, and
then he did the old best receiver in pro football.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
One on one. I would do that every time, and
it's hard to argue with him.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Really, I'm not nitpicking about that, but I think the
whole question is it's just the idea that, because I
understand the strategy, teams do this all the time. It's
almost like you got a free play if you have
third and one, and he said, he claims, and we'll
never know, but I'll trust him. He was going to
go for it on fourth down no matter what. Sure,
that's what he said. So you feel like you have
a free play, right, It's like, so I'm gonna go
(30:00):
ahead and I'm gonna I'm gonna throw it down there.
And if you do get the best wide receiver pro
football and there was no pass interference, her legs got tangled.
You know, it's it's both players are at fault. If
you want to say there was fault there and then
you but you don't get to run the ball because
it was picked off there are still those I would say, like,
(30:20):
did you notice yesterday the Ravens just kept running the
ball and running the ball And I don't know what
the percentage was. I don't know if you have a
if you could even find a staff for me. But
they they ran the ball. Now they got Derrick Henry too,
but he wasn't. It wasn't like Derrick Henry was Jonathan Taylor.
Did you see those numbers?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah, he's unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Did I did I see that? Right? Did he over
have over two hundred yards rushing to forty four?
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I thought, now they weren't overtime. Okay, he got a
lot of his yards in overtime as well. But still
and do you have three tuddies? Yeah, you have the
game winning and overtimes.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Only only any quarterback will Look, have you got that
chemera running game too? He's Colts right, Yes, so that
doesn't So that doesn't hurt Danny Jones at all. You
got a running game like that. That is another reason why
Gofice is effective.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
It's it's amaba. It was night and day difference with Gibbs.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Gibbs was against the Vikings, you know, Sonic. We call
him he was a liability for the Lions last week.
They had to take him off.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
The field.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Because when b Flow would dial up his exotic blitz
packages or schemes or whatever you call them, Gibbs couldn't
block anybody.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Linebackers were mowing them down like.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
A there there they were like it was like a
it was like a snowblower. Now it was like a
bowling ball and he was knocking down ten pins. Yes, yesterday,
Gibbs looked like the best player in pro football. I
mean could running the ball, catching the ball. Everything he
did he made it was so good. So a lot
(32:08):
of it just depends upon how the other team is defending. You, right,
what was I asking you to check it? You asked
me run pass. I don't know if I can give
you the exact answers because I don't have sack totals
at this current moment. But the Ravens ran the ball
thirty six times, and Lamar Jackson attempted twenty nine passes.
(32:34):
Now Lamar can run, which also inflates there. You know,
they're not all designed runs necessarily.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
They had a handful of design runs for him.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yes, Craig, I think Mark Creigan is five is five
extra points point there. He thought maybe they were being
a little conservative because of the hammy that because it
wasn't that a hammy that kept lamarrow for a couple
of games. So I think that was part of what
they were doing, was maybe texting him a bit. But
they they didn't shy away from the running game. Even
(33:02):
when they didn't make big chunks yards, they kept running
and maybe that was part of the reason why they
they they had to settle for field goals so often, but.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
We don't, we seem to.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
It's it's been something that just the coach seems to
abandon the running game pretty early.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
We had forty two passes. Yet now we were behind.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Yeah, but we weren't behind the entire game.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
We for the first half. We were ahead.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
And it wasn't like the Ravens got two quick scores
to go up twenty, you know, go up two tuddies
and that mean we had to throw the ball.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
They got them in smaller increments.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
They had to settle for field goals on the first
three score or was it their first four were the
first four scores, all four scorts seven years ago, they were.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
All field goals for it. And then we fumbled the ball, yeah,
and kick off right, so, and our running backs were
running successfully.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Jones nine carries forty seven yards, that's a five point
two yard average. Jordan Mason four carries twenty five yards
six point three average.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Yeah. And the coach made no bones about it.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
He liked to talk about, how did we average like
six yards for every offensive play? I think that was
what I think. I think he said that. I could
have swore that's what he said. And his point was,
with that kind of yardage, we should be winning that game.
But we had was it thirteen penalties all together with
eight fall starts for over one hundred yards and penalties,
(34:33):
and then you have the overthrown passes, and then you
average with the turnover. We lost the turnover, but did
we turn it over three times and the Ravens turned
it over It could have been four and the Ravens
turned it.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Over zero times. So he's right.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
You know, when you have that kind of yards, if
you if you ten, if you'd said any NFL too,
if you said NFL team.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
X YZ had six yards on average per play? Did
they win lose? You'd go they want probably in a route.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
But when you turn the ball over as much as
you do when you are penalties, and the penalties that
was disturbing when it was there were eight false.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Starts, thirteen penalties for one hundred and two yards.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Eight false starts. At home. Well, it's like a library
in there. It's like being in Bach, Minnesota. Because a
listener and Box said he if his if he did
a show as poorly as I did, he'd rather read
a book.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
I recommended the common Man Book.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
And then we looked up to see if there were
any libraries in Bach, and there weren't, but there are
in the area. There are branches, and there's also a
Gentleman's club in Bach.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Maybe he might want to go there. I don't know,
but yeah, oh no.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
People wanted to dictate the content of the show. Blah
blah blah. How about hockey? We talked talked year earlier,
we did. We talked about how for me while Tenneby
was talking about the goaltending and this and that and
the other thing, I was more What I was.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
More curious about was it is there lunch?
Speaker 2 (36:13):
No? Is it Yesper Wallstead or is it Jesper Valsteed?
Speaker 3 (36:19):
And you said, what is it? It's Yesper, Yesper, And.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Then of course I said, I don't know. Rosen would
probably use both pronuncia. Matter of fact, he probably mixed
a match. So one day it was Yesper Volstead, then
Yesper Walstead, then Jesper Valstad and Jessper wallsaid, there's so
many different ways roles and could go because as you
know with some of the NBA players, uh, Don Chicic
and Devincenzo Stevincenzo, he likes to use different pronunciations. So
(36:48):
I think, maybe do that with a goalie we.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Can talk to.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
And did the Gophers finally win a couple of hockey
games that I see Dame and and we lost for
in a row. I thought we'd lost for in a row.
And it just doesn't seem like Minnesota gold and go
for hockey to me. But I'm not following Yeah, I'm
not following gold and go for hockey as closely as
I once did. But you get a couple of wins there,
and that's nice, and you know again you were.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
You were very prescient. Is that a word?
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Huh? That's what Santa is delivering here in about a
month and a half.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
P R E C I E N T.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Or is it s C P R E. There's an
S in there, s C I E N T. I
think that's a word.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Prescient, prescient, pressure, pressure, precent, preciant. And what's the definition.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Having pressions or knowledge of things or events before the exist?
Speaker 2 (38:00):
And and you were pressing you at forsaid, you said
last week, why are we not playing Bolston? Why do
we continue to play who's our other guy, Gus Gus?
Why do we keep playing Gus? Gus has not been
playing well. It's been obvious to anybody paying a closer
end to the team. Was almost like they were listening
to you over at Grand Casino Arena because they decided
(38:24):
to go. And he puts two sparkling performances together, one shutout,
right shut out last night.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Now Calgary is one of the worst teams in the
league up until this point, and even the Islanders Friday
night the five to two win. Not a great team,
pretty mediocre team, but still two goals against the two
games will not only get you far in the National
Hockey League at any moment. But given I mean, this
team is basic but averaging like seems like four goals
a game consistently throughout and they just don't have the firepower.
(38:52):
Most teams don't have the firepower to just consistently win well.
Giving up that much so a good sign at least.
And they also did get Zucarello back, which makes a difference.
You know, him and Caprisat just have a chemistry that
he can find. He can find Caprisaf better than anybody.
(39:13):
And it balances out the lines a little bit right now.
Tarasenko got moved out the second line, he moved to
the third line. Felino got moved from the third line
of the fourth line. I like, you know, Felino didn't
have a point up until a couple of games ago.
All season long, all of a sudden, you put him
on your fourth line, like, oh hey, we actually got
a player on the fourth line now, right. And Joe Hansen,
I don't know how much longer it is gonna last,
(39:34):
but he's been one of the best players on the team,
had a he'd set up the loan non empty net
goal last night, setting up boldly on that semi breakaway.
And he's been good so at least for now, he's
been fighting on the second line. I don't know if
that's going to last, but all of a sudden, your
lines are balanced out a little bit more when Zucarilla returns.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
How about Ballstead Paul Wall, the Wall of Saint Paul,
The Wall of Saint Paul.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
I like it. It's been like a wall. Blah blah blah.
How about the Links? Are they playing?
Speaker 1 (40:13):
It's their off season, they haven't aren't thinking to have
some labor issues. I'm not talking about pregnancy. I'm talking
about hold.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
On, give yourself. I'll do it for you and give it. Well,
then there's this one.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Before you move on? Is this just me? Or like
the w n b A, remember when our gal MVF
came out and basically just destroyed the commissioner. It's kind
of been radio silent since then, right, Like, Yeah, felt
like that was a pretty major story, and I expected
like moves to be made, or maybe the commissioners ousted
(40:50):
or I feel like everyone on all sides is just
gone silent.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
It got quiet. Yeah, it is quiet. It's almost too quiet,
this one says blah blah blah. What about the Edmund
Fitzgerald fifty years today? It was fifty years today. We
always especially those kind of anniversaries, you know, the fives,
the tens, the fifteenes, of twenties, the twenty fives, and
the fifties, we pay attention to this. I remember waking
up the morning, now this was back I was.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
I was still in school. I was about to quit school.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
I was living in Forest Lake with my father and
my stepmother, my late dad and my late stepmother, And
I remember getting up in the morning getting ready for school,
and they were getting ready for work, and we heard
that We listened to the radio was always on in
the morning, get weather, new sports, that whole dance way
it used to be back at the old and day
still is now for a lot of people, people go
to the Power Trip Morning Show for new What if
(41:42):
you like reliving in the eighth grade every morning, you'll
love the Power Trip Morning Show. So I remember hearing
that we heard the news that, you know, the freighter
the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Speaker 3 (41:53):
Went down in uh Lake Superior.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
And it's the most well known of all the shipwrecks
in the Great Lakes because Gordon Lightfoot described the tragedy
and song right. I can't remember what number it is,
(42:18):
but there are literally hundreds, hundreds, hundreds of shipwrecks in
the Great Lakes over the years Yeah, that's the one
that's saying it's because it was. You know, it was
immortalized in song and well done. I mean, I don't
(42:43):
think anybody expected it to be a hit. You know,
Lightfoot just it. It is from Canada's from that area, right,
So he thought he wanted to write hit him hard.
He wrote the song and then became a smash hit.
Other than he had several other big hits. Hey, you know,
I don't know if you were a Gordon Lightfoot guy,
(43:03):
I tend to be. But he had a Sundown. It
was about all.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
I don't think I know any Lightfoot songs other than Sundown.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
I think if you heard it you'd recognize it. I mean,
just in passing, I'm sure you must have heard it.
It was a song about a layer, right. And then
he did a song called Carefree Highway, and then he
also did a song Yeah Baby.
Speaker 3 (43:23):
Then he also did a song.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
If You Could Read My Mind, which is a brilliant
piece of work.
Speaker 3 (43:29):
It's literally about.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
It his divorce and it's uh, it's brilliant.
Speaker 1 (43:37):
He was.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
It was a hell of a talent. Matter of fact,
Bob Dylan loved him. I thought he was just a genius.
And but yeah, so yes, it was fifty years ago today,
it was, it was.
Speaker 3 (43:48):
It was.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
Twenty years ago today that Sergeant Pepper taught the band
to play. But it was fifty years ago today that
the infantsgerald all went down. Blah blah blah. What about
Commons golf games? I didn't play though. The season is
not over, Tim Toby.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
It's back to fifty tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Well, Laggers is opening tomorrow. Other courses will as well,
and I'm playing Saturday. I've got a tea time already
locked in Saturday for Preusswick Way, and then Sunday I
might go over and play a little logger. So yeah, no,
there are courses that are still open. The season is
not over yet.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
It is to me sixty on Friday. I think I
have what you have? Yeah? We Oh, should we have
synicon host or something? Talk football?
Speaker 2 (44:43):
Yeah, I may have to take a day off. And
you know, I got a lot of sick days and
you do.
Speaker 3 (44:48):
You do too.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
I know we shouldn't have been talking earlier, right next
to each other. People the same thing.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
Yep, that's what we got. Blah blah blah. What about
oga pants and breasts? Try boosting your sagging ratings. Blah
blah blah more Gordon Lightfoot talk. That's about all I
know about Gordon light I can't.
Speaker 3 (45:15):
Well the song.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
The recommend the m infants Gerald, Let's do a quick little
rock rank Rock Rank, Rock Rank Top five songs that
don't have a chorus in the song, rather than there's
no chorus in that song, is there?
Speaker 3 (45:28):
I think you're just going like verse diverse. I think
you're right. I don't know of another song.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Because Bob Dylan does Tangled Up in Blue, and then
he does the course and Tangled Up in Blue. That's
a good song too. He is just a brilliant writer.
I mean a lot of his lyrics don't even make
any sense. But I think that's why I like him.
I wouldn't they throw GiB just so like what I do,
Just throw gibbersh around.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
It doesn't even make any sense.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
Here's another option for Rosie referre to Walstead teemy.
Speaker 3 (46:07):
Just call him the Greek kids. I just love our
I just love our our listeners.

and that you can contact us that way. Here's one
(00:47):
that came in that says, frustrating when the quarterback it's
all the blame.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Is anyone paying attention to this?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Fagans are number one in different offensive line combinations. We
had thirteen penalties yesterday. Maybe one of those was on McCarthy.
Chemistry is the key and we didn't have that yesterday.
McCarthy will do better when the rest of the team
starts doing better. Sounds like Steve Ramdina wants to absolve
McCarthy from any process.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Because he's really young. He's a young kid. He's nine
as alter ego. Well, of those.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yesterday the offensive line was was there other than brand Dell,
who the team is raved about as a center.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
So they had their offensive line yesterday. The inconsistent offensive
lines were when Carson Wentz was.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Plat is correct.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
So yesterday they had their offensive line, and I think
the week before they had their offensive line. And he's
only played four games. In Week one, they had their
offensive line other than Derris because he didn't didn't he
didn't play week one?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Did he did? He take to.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
So sorry, And you know a lot of teams. I mean,
just because you're number one in different offensive line combinations
doesn't mean other teams are struggling with that.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
They all It happens to all teams.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Also, of those thirteen panels of yes, I think eighted
more because his cadence was off.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
They were directly on the quarterback.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Didn't even the head coach had been and they said, well,
had some cadence issues there.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Those false starts.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Apparently the quarterback was doing he was trying to kiss people.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Of guard and he threw the whole team off.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Were those interceptions on the offensive line, and that's the
other thing. I don't think they were He had some
time on those.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, so sorry, Steve, you're barking up the wrong tree.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Take that to somewhere elsewherethy.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
And this is the tough Love Covenant, And we like
the kid. I think the kid. He's bright, he's athletic,
he's got a good arm, he's.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
He has a chance to be good.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Fearless, Yeah, he's fear as, he has a chance to
be He's nine.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
No more do you need to know? Did we have?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
You have? You have double O seven and you have nine?
I mean these are there's any other numbers out there?
People associated uners. You have the Fantastic four. Speaking of
Marvel comics, the thing, the flamethrower guy flaming towards stretch.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
O guy and then whatever. I don't know what the
gal did. She did something.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
No one's arguing that the kid's going to have a
learning curve. My whole point, and this has been all time.
I just think they they the team expected more from
him because they they had a franchise quarterback and Sam Darnold.
They said we don't want him. Danny Dimes was a
very high Wasn't he a six pick overall? Wasn't Danny Jones?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
All right? So he's a top ten pick.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
If they had they offer in the right amount of money,
he would have stayed and Aaron Rodgers would have been here.
But they were bound to determined to stay with this
kid and saw all.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
So all I'm saying is God bless him, and I
want to give him a chance. But I just think
that I think that the brain trust here thought they
were going to get a lot more of them out
of him.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
At this point of the season.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
There's a disconnect there between him and the star wide receiver.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
There's just there's nothing there.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Now there's a and I don't know, is this sacrilegious
to say this?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Now?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
It was a hospital ball, the one in the end
zone that JJ didn't catch.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
It's called alligator arms. Did you see it? Did that look?
Alligator arms? Should all you would look?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I feel like the defender might have gotten a little
bit of his hand on that one. But but you
expect to catch him. I would high expectations for him.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, and so no, I did. Long term, the kids
should be good and the team. I you know, we
also have to look at the age of the club too,
don't they Aren't we like one of the older teams
in the National Football Yes.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
We have a lot of aging veterans enough, not a
lot of superstar young players.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah, the problem because of the drafting has gone the way.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Did Swett sure would like that Hamilton kid? That was
Baltimore yesterday?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
We had an opportunity. Who do we get Louis?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
We could have had Hamilton were we traded down and
took scene? Can you imagine Hamilton and be flows defense?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Do you see? You know who else is a good player?
Was that rope Kwan Smith?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Is that his name? She considered a good player because
he looked good yesterday?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Ye he he was.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I'd like to have him on my club.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Speaking of the of the Lions, did this is one
that I think that could come? And he was doing
a kind of half jokingly, but it's true. But this
is what comes back to bite you because you know
they they just gave another huge contract out to Aiden Hutchinson. Right,
They've given huge contracts like nine guys on the team,
I mean breathtaking the big conference and they asked Campbell
(06:13):
about it last week and I said, well, we're just
going to keep spending money.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Till we don't have any left.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
That's what he said, which he is he is telling
the truth, we're just gonna spend it till we don't
have any left, and they're pretty close to not having
any left. So yeah, they if if, if your ownership there,
my guess is you're hoping for a big game this year.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Next year, because after that, I think ownership, after all
the teams they've gone through, they are very pleased.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
But what I'm saying is if they don't get it,
I don't know how they're going to fight that salary cap.
They've they've got a lot of money invested in players
right now.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
They got money and golf.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
And Gibbs and but they're invested in good plays. They
sound like you're stuck. They got other good players. You're
in Jacksonville and your stuff with Trevor Lawrence on you
a huge deal, Like Gibbs is a superstar, Hutchinson's a superstar,
Goff is a top eight quarterback, aman Rossaint Brown's a
top ten wide receiver. I mean, at least they're put
(07:13):
their money in the right places.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Well, you're right, this one says comin.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Can I get your take on the lack of use
regarding Hawking Fuss. Prior to the season, I read a
few items that said he would need to be very
important piece of the offense considering nines in experience. Is
he just not getting open or are we just more
focused on deeper passes. I think it's probably more complicated
than that. And again I don't watch the twenty two
wide and I don't see the game plan.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I think I don't think there's any question.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
The coach can say whatever he wants about wanting to
run the ball more.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
He likes a vertical passing game. He likes to air
it out. It's fun. Two fans love it.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Is there anything better than watching a court You watched
Detroit yesterday.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Every pass play is.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Eight, ten, fifteen, twenty yards downfield, huge gains.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
They shredded worsh As a fan, it's fun. You love it.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
But you got to have the weapons and the tools.
And I don't know if jj he's got a good arm,
But I don't know if he's if if if we
saw the accuracy yesterday, there was none.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
He has no I was gonna say, like there's one
common denominate because he just asked about Hockinson. You could
say the same thing about Justin Jefferson, right, he's underperformed. Yep,
Jordan Addison, who I kept braving about in training camp,
and I know he missed the first three games with
the suspension, but he looked like he was gonna be
a superstar in training camp and watch him and join
Prex's he's been just okay. Like it's this is across
(08:35):
the board here. This is an entire offensive correct failure
and that probably starts at the quarterback, and maybe the
head coach's expectations for the quarterback plays a role in it.
But it's not just one guy here. It's everything's and
and offensive line. Yep, he has something to do with it,
of course.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
If again, I know want to bring up the Lions
a lot, but I followed them closely.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Their offensive line was.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
In ruins last week and they lost to the Bike
Hogany was out yesterday, he got knocked out of the game.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
They had a rookie starting.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I don't think the guy'd ever played a snap in
the NFL, or if he had, it was very few.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
So they were there.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
They're mix All these teams are mixing and matching people,
so there's plenty of blame to be spread around.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
And the point is well taken.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
The offensive line has had its issues, though yesterday it
had their new center that they're thrilled with, and we're
not going to see the other guy on't together again.
We may, but I mean he's got two concussions five
in his career that we know of. But they had
Dearris on the left and O'Neil on the right, and
they have Jonah the young kid in the left guard
position and our right tackle whoever he is. I came
(09:35):
to the Fries guy. They we got our guys. That's
the line we're going to go with. The thing with Hawkinson,
there's no yards after the catch ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,
He's never had a yard after the CASI. I'm exaggerating
some but you saw yesterday. How many catch do they have?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
You two? And he had he was tackled immediately.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I have I think that most of our guys.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
You watch Laporta, his first catch of the game is
he was dragging four Washington guys.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
With dragging them, he makes yards after the catch.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
That's why the lines traded Hawkinson for a second and
a third so they knew Laporta was waiting.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Who on our team is a yet guy. I don't
know if we have a yet We never have a
guy that catches like a seven yard crossing route and
turns that into forty yards.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Speedy yesterday had one.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Sure, Speedy had the one play where he turned it
into a sixty two yard gain as biggest.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
But even that was a deep throat.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Yeah, and Hawkinson's an okay player.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
He's good. He's a good taste, got good hands. I
mean he had that one in the back of the
end zone. Was that the one that they ruled against
him and didn't give it to him? Or did a
good overturned in a terrific catch. Guy's got good hands.
I think he can block as far as I know,
and I think he runs a quality pattern. But I
don't see him getting a lot of yards after catching,
as you just pointed out a lot of the biking stone.
(10:59):
So I don't know, and I don't know if if
the if the coach is enamored with throwing the ball long,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
It's sure seems like it.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I do wonder on a lot of these third and
ones that they've had now, clearly KOs is designing plays
in which there's a deep route included. I do wonder
how much of it is on KOC and how much
of it is the quarterbacks making bad decisions and kocs
just trying to cover for the quarterback. That could be
as well, because it does seem a lot third and
one where they're just taking I even mentioned it in
(11:37):
the Detroit when the last play of the game. To me,
that pass the Jalen there was not a high percentage play. No,
it worked, they completed it. It was a great throwing,
great catch. But for a must have situation, I want
a little bit higher percentage plays than that, and they
seem to do that all the time on their third
and fourth and shorts. Heck, the touchdown they got yesterday
(11:57):
Jalen Naylor on fourth down, great throw, great catch, is
not a very high percentage play. That was pretty good coverage.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
There are people, and again this is very unscientific, but
there are people that.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Put a lot of the blame on the head coach.
You know this text Messenger says, this is an interesting.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Angle, is over coaching hurting nine chaos is talking about
climbing in the pocket too far that you bring a block,
passing a play and then there's far But ad minute
after he retired, he didn't know what Cover two was.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I told the story about when I think it was the.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
One of the coaches of the Vikings during Adrian Peterson's here,
I had to go up to far.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
After practicing, go could you do me a favorite?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Could you explain the play to Peterson when when you
call it because he doesn't know the plays. Adrian just
ran the ball. Just give him the ball, run, just
look for right and says something. And it worked for
very well. He won the MVP Award in twenty ten.
He didn't need no place give him the ball.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Athletically was athletically away.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
He was probably second to none.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
But yeah, I mean there is the idea. I mean,
if you'll remember what they here's what they did with
the quarterback. He played Week one, he was bad for
three quarters, was really good against the Bears in the
fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
They won. Next week, did not play well at all.
Ended up.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
It was after the game. He never left the game
that I'm aware of. And maybe if he left, he
came back, because he finished the game right. He comes
back and then they say, well, he's got a high ankle,
sprang out for a while, and it was up for
five weeks and Wentz got beat like a pinion. But
I brought this up several times, the coach said, this
will give us time, and again he says is word
(14:00):
for word, but he said, this will give us time
to work with some of the mechanics we.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Need to work with. You know, KOs is really big.
How many times has he.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Talked about having your eyes and your feet aligned? And
that's probably true.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I'm not a quarterback. I was a fierce pass rushing
rock and gibralta run stopping defensive lineman and a precise route.
Weren't sure in a pass catching tight end. Now what
we did pick up basketball or pick up football as kids,
you know, back in my elementary school days. Let's just
say I played quarterback a lots. I was very I
had a very good arm. Couldn't throw the deep ball
very well, but I could.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I could spin it. But you know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Sometimes you just got to let a guy go around
and wing it out there too. But of course you
don't want if you want to go with it. He's
really young. People love to go with the he's really
young and thinking, well, it's been playing. He went to
a football academy that don't you remember, haven't you read
a story? He was one of those guys that went
to that famous if I unless I'm thinking of the
wrong quarterback, could have swore I read he went to
(15:01):
that famous quarterback academy. He spent his informative years there.
It's like, it's not that complicated. It's football. It's hut one,
hut two, hut.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Three or so.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
That's what our cadence is always wrong. And then it's
dropped back.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
You know who's supposed to be open, who's not supposed
to be open?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
You know where they're supposed to be. Don't hang onto
the ball, don't throw it so low that the guy
just has to stick his hand up like he's saying.
How many people can use the word four in a sentence?
You know, you raise your hand in class and go
too plus two be four. That's all you know? There
are certain things you should already know at twenty two
years of age. Sorry, we'll break, we'll come back. Tenneby's

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Double thirteen fourteen past. I'm common. He's tend to be
tenn to be. It was a.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Texts non aop email I received that I saved.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Oh yeah, this one tend to me.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
This is actually an email send too common on Saturday,
about a quarter past eleven. It says common, This Indiana
coach sounds a lot like you. Just before kickoff, one
of the sideline reporters went with Indiana's never won a
Beaver Stadium. How does that change today? He replied simply
(17:49):
with well, this team has never played there. I just
love it, you know, because that's the that's that mindset,
especially fans and media, but particular media.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
You know, when you're doing like.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
The Twins, remember when they hadn't won a game, they
hadn't wont to playoff, give for eighteen straight games. It's
like two thousand and two or two thousand and five,
whenever it was, and they'd want to lost eighteen in
a row, and it's like, well, that's the franchise, not
the team. There's a difference the current team. None of
those players were around during any of those eighteen losses.
(18:25):
So it doesn't mean anything to them. I mean they
might be aware, maybe be brought to their attention. You know,
the Twins as a franchise haven't won a playoff game
in eighteen straight games.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Didn't know that? Well that's not very good, is it?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
But it has nothing to do with the current players
on the team. So same thing, especially even more so
in college football, because kids are only there for what
maximum foy unless you're the goal for sometimes you play
six or seven years. But otherwise for Parker Fox, if
you Parker Fox, you played there six or seven years.
Otherwise you're there for what four years, three whatever?
Speaker 3 (19:00):
I don't know. Can they come out early in college football.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yes, not as early as basketball, but so I think
they have to play three years.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Okay, So I kind of liked this Indiana coach.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
And I remember at first when he see the cocky,
what did they ask him if he was a good coach?
He said, google me. My record's in there. And he
looks grouchy. I've never seen him smile. Won't you smile
a mile a while for me, Sarah?
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Smile? He doesn't need his face up foot.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
These football coaches are a different breed, right, They just
are by his team.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
That's the other thing. You know, when you look at.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
The golphers, you know they talk about it hard to
win here, almost hard to win in Indiana, too, wasn't it?
Indiana wasn't any better in football than the golfers. A
matter of fact, I've bet has been worse in football
over the past thirty forty five years. And the Gophers
have they found a guy, and I don't know if
it's all him now. I know the comeback will probably
be about the nil money. But do we know that?
(20:08):
Do we know exactly how much nil money is being spent?
I know each university can spend like the university itself Candola.
Was it twenty million dollars twenty point three or something?
I don't even know if I thoroughly understand it. I
truly understand it. But the U has each university can
pay money out of the university coffers, but a lot
of the money I think comes from nil name, image
(20:30):
and license. Where tarp shooter, the burgeoning tarp shooter industry.
You could go ahead and you could pay, say i'll
get yeah, go ahead, here's money. Give that kid a
half million dollars. Let him play point guard for the
Minnesota Golden Golphers. You could do that if you want.
But I don't know if we know how much each
(20:51):
one of these teams is given, is it. Maybe Indiana's
loaded with that, you know, And I get the small
you know, the communities which like an happy valley. That's
all they have going in happy valley. The rest of
the valley's unhappy. But with the football team they're happy,
Well not right now, but you know what I mean. So, yeah,
so there are more boosters than there's.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
More to get.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I think Indiana's got Mark Cuban on their side.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Oh do they really?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I think that's what you need.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
All right, Well it's working.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
We need one guy with cash or one gal with cash.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Google me. Did you see how they won? The game.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Speaking of Penn State, they were on the ropes Indiana
and the scenario scenario then I always paint for you, right,
I know you're tired of hearing it, but you know,
show me a quarterback with it a minute two to go,
no timeouts, needs a tounny and drive down the field
and win hostile and Mormot.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Who's the kid? Is it? Who's the kid?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
For Indiana's quarterbacks? And Mendoza his name Mendoza, I think
that's his name. Maybe you could google it for me.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
And I think the first play they had no timeouts,
Fernando Mendoza they.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Had He's gonna win the Heisman Trophy no timeouts, if
I ever, if I understood it, I didn't see the game.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I was out doing.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I did five hours of yard work. Can he even
blow my horn for me? Just don't put your lips
on five hours of fall? Clapp put it off to
the last minute. Well what would you ten to be?
Let's see we do some fall clean up on a
nice Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I'm going to play.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Golf, Dug winning Dug golfing. But anyway, so I did
watch the Iowa Oregon game. Was really good. I thought
I would just get destroyed, but they would. They played,
they they lost late. That was a really good football
after college football game. I loved it, enjoy it. But anyway,
(22:49):
Indiana drove with no timeouts. I think there was just
a touch over a minute to go and they drove
down the field. If you saw the throw and catch,
have you seen the replayoff?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
See? Yes, big time catch in a big time throw.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
He was falling backwards and unlike JJ, Now how young did.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Think McCarthy's McCarthy Mendoza? Oh how old thing?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Mendoza no idea somewhere between eighteen and twenty two.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
He had no problem making a big time throw and
didn't overthrow his wide receiver. He wasn't too young to
make the play.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
He made the play, really good play.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
So yeah, that was fun. But yeah, I just like
a coach that looks as a Yeah that what what
the school did in twenty fifteen, twenty ten, two thousand
and five.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Two eighteen.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
None of that has anything to do with the current
current franchise. This text message said, I think the key
the Indiana's They are more focused on playing winning football
than they are rowing the boat.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Oh that's a cheap shot else average, let.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Me see where I can find it. Somebody said, I
don't need to have it. I can, I can, I can.
The The point of his text message was, oh boy,
here we go another another O'Connell news conference where he's
taking all the blame. He's not the only coach that
(24:35):
does that. I think coaches do that more and more
now than ever before. Where they go's on me that
I was going to bring up. PJ does it all
the time.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
It's not on me.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
He does so much, you know, hope. Well, technically it
is on PJ because he's the one who brings in
all the players, right, So I mean, ultimately it is
on PJ.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Danny Campbell does it.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I watched his news conference every time, you know, we
have taken some things up, we got clean things up.
We will you know, it's everybody looking the coaching staff
and me and starts with me, and it does I
do like the guy that.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Does the was it Herbert Hoover.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Or was it James Edgar Hoover or was it Hoover
vacuum cleaner guy?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Maybe it was Dewey and Truman.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
They said the buck stops here, right, And that's what
a head coach is supposed to do. But sometimes if
they just say it over and over and over again
and the results don't change after why it's going, Well,
what do.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
They call it?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Lip services like, well, great, you've been saying that for
weeks and months and years now and finally, so we'll
see if they get things change. We'll take our final
break and come back.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
With the final sigment in the program. I'm the common
Man program. You're on the fan. Ye, all good things
must come to an end. Common Man Show.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Wraps up in about six seven minutes.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
That's suit a little longer ready, it'll be double.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
A lot of people are pretty about six seven fall
start penalties yesterday.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yeah, well tack on a few more.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
But yeah, you're right, there are no no question about that. Uh.
A lot of people are texting the Bratch on bron
Cape and text line this one, you know, because we
had we had a Steve I think it was was
it Steve I think was making excuses for JJ.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
None of it was his fault, none of it was
everybody else's fault. It was the team, and the team
is better.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
He'll be better, Tim says hey, common The Chargers have
lost their two best offensive linemen for the year. Ones
in all Pro, the other one's a pro bowler. They've
won their last three games. They're now seven to three. Funny,
we shall overcome, You can overcome. The other thing is
is they also have a coach who likes.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
To run the football. They rushed the ball.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
How many times do you think the San Diego Chargers
run the football this year? Tend to be two hundred
and sixty four In case you're wondering.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Well, they're also down to their third string running back
as well, are they really?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Meanwhile, the Bikings have run the ball two hundred times
sixty four more times.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
That's a lot.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
That's a lot of a lot of a lot of
addition runs. Some teams want to have a nice blend.
Other teams want to throw throw, throw the ball gently
down in the field.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Well, and what's most puzzling is they had a nice
blend in their win against Detroit.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
They did.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
They ran the ball against Detroit. You think you'd follow
that that blueprint back?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Yeah, well and they did. If you'll remember, and let
me let me grab the gamer here from fish Wrap
Factory West Side. I think it was in the takeaways
part or let me see what it was, Go ahead,
give it to me. Yeah, here it is takeaways it says,
(28:14):
maybe it wasn't in the takeaways. Oh, here it is.
This is this guestling. Yeah, this has been Guestling's piece
from yesterday's game. It says the Vikings had eight led
ten to nine at halftime and started the second half
with back to back Jones runs that gained twenty two yards.
(28:36):
That's an eleven yard average tend of in case you're
wondering at home, and for keeping, if you're scoring at home,
it's eleven yards of carry. But after McCarthy hit Jordan
Addison for four yards on second down, Vikings lined it
with two tight ends and two running backs.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
On third and one.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Instead of going back to the run, O'Connell dialleth of
a play action shot out of heavy personnel, McCarthy threw
a second pick of the as Jefferson fell down in
the play, Ravens drove sixty yards for a field goal
to take the lead for the first time of the game.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
That was.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
One of the main points of conversation in the head
coaches day after the game news conference, which you heard
on this radio station, and he was asked about it
point blank by one of the reporters head members said
basically was saying, do you have any second.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Thoughts on that?
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Do you wish you'd run the ball, and said, and
then he did the old best receiver in pro football.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
One on one. I would do that every time, and
it's hard to argue with him.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Really, I'm not nitpicking about that, but I think the
whole question is it's just the idea that, because I
understand the strategy, teams do this all the time. It's
almost like you got a free play if you have
third and one, and he said, he claims, and we'll
never know, but I'll trust him. He was going to
go for it on fourth down no matter what. Sure,
that's what he said. So you feel like you have
a free play, right, It's like, so I'm gonna go
(30:00):
ahead and I'm gonna I'm gonna throw it down there.
And if you do get the best wide receiver pro
football and there was no pass interference, her legs got tangled.
You know, it's it's both players are at fault. If
you want to say there was fault there and then
you but you don't get to run the ball because
it was picked off there are still those I would say, like,
(30:20):
did you notice yesterday the Ravens just kept running the
ball and running the ball And I don't know what
the percentage was. I don't know if you have a
if you could even find a staff for me. But
they they ran the ball. Now they got Derrick Henry too,
but he wasn't. It wasn't like Derrick Henry was Jonathan Taylor.
Did you see those numbers?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah, he's unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Did I did I see that? Right? Did he over
have over two hundred yards rushing to forty four?
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I thought, now they weren't overtime. Okay, he got a
lot of his yards in overtime as well. But still
and do you have three tuddies? Yeah, you have the
game winning and overtimes.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Only only any quarterback will Look, have you got that
chemera running game too? He's Colts right, Yes, so that
doesn't So that doesn't hurt Danny Jones at all. You
got a running game like that. That is another reason why
Gofice is effective.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
It's it's amaba. It was night and day difference with Gibbs.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Gibbs was against the Vikings, you know, Sonic. We call
him he was a liability for the Lions last week.
They had to take him off.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
The field.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Because when b Flow would dial up his exotic blitz
packages or schemes or whatever you call them, Gibbs couldn't
block anybody.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Linebackers were mowing them down like.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
A there there they were like it was like a
it was like a snowblower. Now it was like a
bowling ball and he was knocking down ten pins. Yes, yesterday,
Gibbs looked like the best player in pro football. I
mean could running the ball, catching the ball. Everything he
did he made it was so good. So a lot
(32:08):
of it just depends upon how the other team is defending. You, right,
what was I asking you to check it? You asked
me run pass. I don't know if I can give
you the exact answers because I don't have sack totals
at this current moment. But the Ravens ran the ball
thirty six times, and Lamar Jackson attempted twenty nine passes.
(32:34):
Now Lamar can run, which also inflates there. You know,
they're not all designed runs necessarily.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
They had a handful of design runs for him.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yes, Craig, I think Mark Creigan is five is five
extra points point there. He thought maybe they were being
a little conservative because of the hammy that because it
wasn't that a hammy that kept lamarrow for a couple
of games. So I think that was part of what
they were doing, was maybe texting him a bit. But
they they didn't shy away from the running game. Even
(33:02):
when they didn't make big chunks yards, they kept running
and maybe that was part of the reason why they
they they had to settle for field goals so often, but.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
We don't, we seem to.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
It's it's been something that just the coach seems to
abandon the running game pretty early.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
We had forty two passes. Yet now we were behind.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Yeah, but we weren't behind the entire game.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
We for the first half. We were ahead.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
And it wasn't like the Ravens got two quick scores
to go up twenty, you know, go up two tuddies
and that mean we had to throw the ball.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
They got them in smaller increments.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
They had to settle for field goals on the first
three score or was it their first four were the
first four scores, all four scorts seven years ago, they were.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
All field goals for it. And then we fumbled the ball, yeah,
and kick off right, so, and our running backs were
running successfully.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Jones nine carries forty seven yards, that's a five point
two yard average. Jordan Mason four carries twenty five yards
six point three average.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Yeah. And the coach made no bones about it.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
He liked to talk about, how did we average like
six yards for every offensive play? I think that was
what I think. I think he said that. I could
have swore that's what he said. And his point was,
with that kind of yardage, we should be winning that game.
But we had was it thirteen penalties all together with
eight fall starts for over one hundred yards and penalties,
(34:33):
and then you have the overthrown passes, and then you
average with the turnover. We lost the turnover, but did
we turn it over three times and the Ravens turned
it over It could have been four and the Ravens
turned it.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Over zero times. So he's right.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
You know, when you have that kind of yards, if
you if you ten, if you'd said any NFL too,
if you said NFL team.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
X YZ had six yards on average per play? Did
they win lose? You'd go they want probably in a route.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
But when you turn the ball over as much as
you do when you are penalties, and the penalties that
was disturbing when it was there were eight false.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Starts, thirteen penalties for one hundred and two yards.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Eight false starts. At home. Well, it's like a library
in there. It's like being in Bach, Minnesota. Because a
listener and Box said he if his if he did
a show as poorly as I did, he'd rather read
a book.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
I recommended the common Man Book.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
And then we looked up to see if there were
any libraries in Bach, and there weren't, but there are
in the area. There are branches, and there's also a
Gentleman's club in Bach.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Maybe he might want to go there. I don't know,
but yeah, oh no.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
People wanted to dictate the content of the show. Blah
blah blah. How about hockey? We talked talked year earlier,
we did. We talked about how for me while Tenneby
was talking about the goaltending and this and that and
the other thing, I was more What I was.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
More curious about was it is there lunch?
Speaker 2 (36:13):
No? Is it Yesper Wallstead or is it Jesper Valsteed?
Speaker 3 (36:19):
And you said, what is it? It's Yesper, Yesper, And.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Then of course I said, I don't know. Rosen would
probably use both pronuncia. Matter of fact, he probably mixed
a match. So one day it was Yesper Volstead, then
Yesper Walstead, then Jesper Valstad and Jessper wallsaid, there's so
many different ways roles and could go because as you
know with some of the NBA players, uh, Don Chicic
and Devincenzo Stevincenzo, he likes to use different pronunciations. So
(36:48):
I think, maybe do that with a goalie we.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Can talk to.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
And did the Gophers finally win a couple of hockey
games that I see Dame and and we lost for
in a row. I thought we'd lost for in a row.
And it just doesn't seem like Minnesota gold and go
for hockey to me. But I'm not following Yeah, I'm
not following gold and go for hockey as closely as
I once did. But you get a couple of wins there,
and that's nice, and you know again you were.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
You were very prescient. Is that a word?
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Huh? That's what Santa is delivering here in about a
month and a half.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
P R E C I E N T.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Or is it s C P R E. There's an
S in there, s C I E N T. I
think that's a word.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
Prescient, prescient, pressure, pressure, precent, preciant. And what's the definition.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Having pressions or knowledge of things or events before the exist?
Speaker 2 (38:00):
And and you were pressing you at forsaid, you said
last week, why are we not playing Bolston? Why do
we continue to play who's our other guy, Gus Gus?
Why do we keep playing Gus? Gus has not been
playing well. It's been obvious to anybody paying a closer
end to the team. Was almost like they were listening
to you over at Grand Casino Arena because they decided
(38:24):
to go. And he puts two sparkling performances together, one shutout,
right shut out last night.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Now Calgary is one of the worst teams in the
league up until this point, and even the Islanders Friday
night the five to two win. Not a great team,
pretty mediocre team, but still two goals against the two
games will not only get you far in the National
Hockey League at any moment. But given I mean, this
team is basic but averaging like seems like four goals
a game consistently throughout and they just don't have the firepower.
(38:52):
Most teams don't have the firepower to just consistently win well.
Giving up that much so a good sign at least.
And they also did get Zucarello back, which makes a difference.
You know, him and Caprisat just have a chemistry that
he can find. He can find Caprisaf better than anybody.
(39:13):
And it balances out the lines a little bit right now.
Tarasenko got moved out the second line, he moved to
the third line. Felino got moved from the third line
of the fourth line. I like, you know, Felino didn't
have a point up until a couple of games ago.
All season long, all of a sudden, you put him
on your fourth line, like, oh hey, we actually got
a player on the fourth line now, right. And Joe Hansen,
I don't know how much longer it is gonna last,
(39:34):
but he's been one of the best players on the team,
had a he'd set up the loan non empty net
goal last night, setting up boldly on that semi breakaway.
And he's been good so at least for now, he's
been fighting on the second line. I don't know if
that's going to last, but all of a sudden, your
lines are balanced out a little bit more when Zucarilla returns.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
How about Ballstead Paul Wall, the Wall of Saint Paul,
The Wall of Saint Paul.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
I like it. It's been like a wall. Blah blah blah.
How about the Links? Are they playing?
Speaker 1 (40:13):
It's their off season, they haven't aren't thinking to have
some labor issues. I'm not talking about pregnancy. I'm talking
about hold.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
On, give yourself. I'll do it for you and give it. Well,
then there's this one.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Before you move on? Is this just me? Or like
the w n b A, remember when our gal MVF
came out and basically just destroyed the commissioner. It's kind
of been radio silent since then, right, Like, Yeah, felt
like that was a pretty major story, and I expected
like moves to be made, or maybe the commissioners ousted
(40:50):
or I feel like everyone on all sides is just
gone silent.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
It got quiet. Yeah, it is quiet. It's almost too quiet,
this one says blah blah blah. What about the Edmund
Fitzgerald fifty years today? It was fifty years today. We
always especially those kind of anniversaries, you know, the fives,
the tens, the fifteenes, of twenties, the twenty fives, and
the fifties, we pay attention to this. I remember waking
up the morning, now this was back I was.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
I was still in school. I was about to quit school.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
I was living in Forest Lake with my father and
my stepmother, my late dad and my late stepmother, And
I remember getting up in the morning getting ready for school,
and they were getting ready for work, and we heard
that We listened to the radio was always on in
the morning, get weather, new sports, that whole dance way
it used to be back at the old and day
still is now for a lot of people, people go
to the Power Trip Morning Show for new What if
(41:42):
you like reliving in the eighth grade every morning, you'll
love the Power Trip Morning Show. So I remember hearing
that we heard the news that, you know, the freighter
the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Speaker 3 (41:53):
Went down in uh Lake Superior.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
And it's the most well known of all the shipwrecks
in the Great Lakes because Gordon Lightfoot described the tragedy
and song right. I can't remember what number it is,
(42:18):
but there are literally hundreds, hundreds, hundreds of shipwrecks in
the Great Lakes over the years Yeah, that's the one
that's saying it's because it was. You know, it was
immortalized in song and well done. I mean, I don't
(42:43):
think anybody expected it to be a hit. You know,
Lightfoot just it. It is from Canada's from that area, right,
So he thought he wanted to write hit him hard.
He wrote the song and then became a smash hit.
Other than he had several other big hits. Hey, you know,
I don't know if you were a Gordon Lightfoot guy,
(43:03):
I tend to be. But he had a Sundown. It
was about all.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
I don't think I know any Lightfoot songs other than Sundown.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
I think if you heard it you'd recognize it. I mean,
just in passing, I'm sure you must have heard it.
It was a song about a layer, right. And then
he did a song called Carefree Highway, and then he
also did a song Yeah Baby.
Speaker 3 (43:23):
Then he also did a song.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
If You Could Read My Mind, which is a brilliant
piece of work.
Speaker 3 (43:29):
It's literally about.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
It his divorce and it's uh, it's brilliant.
Speaker 1 (43:37):
He was.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
It was a hell of a talent. Matter of fact,
Bob Dylan loved him. I thought he was just a genius.
And but yeah, so yes, it was fifty years ago today,
it was, it was.
Speaker 3 (43:48):
It was.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
Twenty years ago today that Sergeant Pepper taught the band
to play. But it was fifty years ago today that
the infantsgerald all went down. Blah blah blah. What about
Commons golf games? I didn't play though. The season is
not over, Tim Toby.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
It's back to fifty tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Well, Laggers is opening tomorrow. Other courses will as well,
and I'm playing Saturday. I've got a tea time already
locked in Saturday for Preusswick Way, and then Sunday I
might go over and play a little logger. So yeah, no,
there are courses that are still open. The season is
not over yet.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
It is to me sixty on Friday. I think I
have what you have? Yeah? We Oh, should we have
synicon host or something? Talk football?
Speaker 2 (44:43):
Yeah, I may have to take a day off. And
you know, I got a lot of sick days and
you do.
Speaker 3 (44:48):
You do too.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
I know we shouldn't have been talking earlier, right next
to each other. People the same thing.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
Yep, that's what we got. Blah blah blah. What about
oga pants and breasts? Try boosting your sagging ratings. Blah
blah blah more Gordon Lightfoot talk. That's about all I
know about Gordon light I can't.
Speaker 3 (45:15):
Well the song.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
The recommend the m infants Gerald, Let's do a quick little
rock rank Rock Rank, Rock Rank Top five songs that
don't have a chorus in the song, rather than there's
no chorus in that song, is there?
Speaker 3 (45:28):
I think you're just going like verse diverse. I think
you're right. I don't know of another song.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Because Bob Dylan does Tangled Up in Blue, and then
he does the course and Tangled Up in Blue. That's
a good song too. He is just a brilliant writer.
I mean a lot of his lyrics don't even make
any sense. But I think that's why I like him.
I wouldn't they throw GiB just so like what I do,
Just throw gibbersh around.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
It doesn't even make any sense.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
Here's another option for Rosie referre to Walstead teemy.
Speaker 3 (46:07):
