00:00:14One of the best to ever do it.

00:00:16And guess what?

00:00:17He's in studio the entire show today.

00:00:24We've got to recap a little Thursday Night Football.

00:00:26We've got the Money Corner coming up where Megan's going to give you the best picks.

00:00:29to play over the weekend once again.

00:00:32We've got our guy Cade McConnell from Vandy, the O-lineman,

00:00:34who went viral for the double KO against LSU last week coming on.

00:00:38We've got the Smasher Pass food, the Skillet Punt.

00:00:42We've got a ton, okay?

00:00:43It's going to be a lot of fun.

00:00:59What is going on, everybody?

00:01:11Welcome in.

00:01:11This is the Friday edition of Wake Up Bar Soul.

00:01:15Normally, we've got Dana Beers here.

00:01:17Dana is out on assignment.

00:01:20And we have, well, we've replaced them.

00:01:23Not one, but two.

00:01:24Pretty legendary replacements, I would say.

00:01:26It's me, Mikey Kadic.

00:01:28We've got Chief.

00:01:29We've got Megan Making Money.

00:01:30And, of course, we've got Zach Martin.

00:01:31Dude, Zach, what's up, brother?

00:01:32Thank you so much for being here.

00:01:33No, man.

00:01:34Thanks for having me.

00:01:34Excited to be here.

00:01:35Kind of gone through the gauntlet here.

00:01:37Yeah.

00:01:37The last day or so, but it's great to be here.

00:01:39And you crushed the gauntlet from what I saw, right?

00:01:42I mean, just naturally good at everything.

00:01:43The trivia got me a little bit there.

00:01:45You know, the heart started pumping a little bit.

00:01:47Yeah.

00:01:47You need oxygen.

00:01:49Yeah.

00:01:50It's like when your coach used to make you, you know,

00:01:52they try to physically exhaust you and then do you something mental.

00:01:55Whatever.

00:01:56Like mat drills.

00:01:57All right.

00:01:57Boys, are we ready?

00:01:59Oh, no.

00:01:59We're waiting for Cade.

00:02:00Oh, we're waiting for Cade.

00:02:01Okay.

00:02:02Okay.

00:02:02My bad.

00:02:02He's going to do one with us.

00:02:03He's going to do one with us.

00:02:03A little premature smelling salts.

00:02:05Oh, dude.

00:02:06It's exciting.

00:02:06For me.

00:02:07I apologize.

00:02:08It's a tease.

00:02:08We will do smelling salts when we have Cade McConnell on.

00:02:11Vandy, offensive lineman.

00:02:12Zach, so what's up, man?

00:02:14Before we, like, dive into last night's game and everything,

00:02:17I don't want to talk about that.

00:02:20How is retired life?

00:02:22How's it been going?

00:02:23Yeah, it's been great, man.

00:02:25You know, obviously a little different look in fall for me.

00:02:27But, you know, moved back up to my hometown,

00:02:31get the kids settled and, you know,

00:02:33get to enjoy football from the couch this year.

00:02:36So it's been nice.

00:02:36How many kids do you have?

00:02:38We have a fourth on the way.

00:02:40So, yeah, we got a packed house.

00:02:42At the Martin household, yeah.

00:02:44I got three little ones myself,

00:02:46but then I decided to get snipped up, dog.

00:02:48Yeah, I'm not far behind you.

00:02:50I'm not far behind you.

00:02:51I'm going to go to four.

00:02:52I'm not far behind you.

00:02:53Wait until you smell the burning flesh

00:02:55of your own testicles.

00:02:57It's a feeling that you'll never quite forget.

00:02:59I mean, you can appreciate that, right, Megan?

00:03:01My husband has not been fixed.

00:03:03I think, hey, never mind it.

00:03:04I don't know, but I have smelled burning flesh, too.

00:03:07He's actually a survivor.

00:03:09Hell yeah, right on.

00:03:10Okay, guys, so how's that been?

00:03:15So you're talking about watching ball here.

00:03:18Everyone's sick now.

00:03:19I had to set the tone.

00:03:20My bad, dude.

00:03:21I had to set the tone immediately,

00:03:23let Zach know what he was stepping into here.

00:03:27But, okay, so, but like you said,

00:03:28a lot of watching ball.

00:03:29Yep.

00:03:30When's the last time?

00:03:31How old are you right now, 34?

00:03:33I'll be 35 next month.

00:03:34Okay, so when would be the last time

00:03:37do you think that you were just watching ball

00:03:39in your entire life?

00:03:40And I'm talking, like, not even playing Little League.

00:03:43Like, what age did you start?

00:03:44I would say I probably started playing

00:03:46before I really started watching it.

00:03:48Yeah.

00:03:48Hardcore.

00:03:49My dad was a, played college football,

00:03:51so I have two brothers,

00:03:53kind of a football family.

00:03:55Started, we started in third grade

00:03:57playing tackle football,

00:03:58so like seven or eight years old.

00:04:00Damn.

00:04:01O-lineman, D-lineman from the start.

00:04:02Yeah.

00:04:03I was telling myself,

00:04:04my son's playing flag,

00:04:05and he's, you know,

00:04:06he's playing running back receiver,

00:04:07and he's asking me questions.

00:04:08I'm like, buddy,

00:04:08you've touched the ball more than I have.

00:04:10I don't know.

00:04:13Yeah, I remember having, like,

00:04:14dreams of, you know,

00:04:16before, like, first ever padded football practice

00:04:18of, like,

00:04:19because my old man was a quarterback,

00:04:20and I was having dreams of, like,

00:04:21scoring touchdowns,

00:04:23throwing touchdowns,

00:04:24and, yeah,

00:04:24my ass was on the line immediately.

00:04:26Yeah.

00:04:26I was a running back,

00:04:27scored nine touchdowns.

00:04:29What?

00:04:29Oh.

00:04:29Oh, wow.

00:04:31Then I went tight end.

00:04:32I didn't play O-line

00:04:32until I was in middle school.

00:04:34You probably were just out there

00:04:35playing fully ball.

00:04:36You were making the running backs

00:04:36to tight end.

00:04:37Yes.

00:04:38To D-line.

00:04:38He just kept getting fatter and fatter.

00:04:41Yeah, well, we had,

00:04:42our leagues,

00:04:43we had the stripes on our helmets

00:04:44for the weight.

00:04:44Yeah, stripers.

00:04:45Yeah, stripers.

00:04:46So, and then, you know,

00:04:47the real demoralizing part

00:04:50where if you're a certain weight,

00:04:51you got the three stripes.

00:04:52So you had one over to the side

00:04:54and then all the way around,

00:04:55and you could only play O-line.

00:04:56Don't even think about touching the ball.

00:04:57You couldn't even play defense.

00:04:58You could only play O-line.

00:04:59It's like a Scarlet Letter situation.

00:05:02If you were a certain weight,

00:05:03you couldn't run the ball?

00:05:04Oh, yeah.

00:05:04They were like wrestlers.

00:05:05Kids would try to lose weight,

00:05:06cut weight to be the,

00:05:08so they could touch the ball.

00:05:09That's a lot of shit.

00:05:10You'd have to be 160 to touch the ball.

00:05:12Like in eighth grade,

00:05:12our best player was a running back,

00:05:14but, you know,

00:05:14he'd already gone through puberty

00:05:15and everything,

00:05:16so he didn't make the weight.

00:05:16So, you know,

00:05:17you got this guy who clearly

00:05:18is going to be the high school

00:05:19running back playing like left guard

00:05:21for the middle school team.

00:05:22Dude, that's crazy

00:05:23because we actually,

00:05:24I actually drove like kind of like

00:05:25out of the way,

00:05:26like half an hour

00:05:27to get in a non-weight related league

00:05:29and our guard was Cameron Hayward

00:05:32and at 10 years old,

00:05:34he was 6 foot 180.

00:05:37At 10 years old,

00:05:38just absolutely mauling kids.

00:05:40I wasn't that big

00:05:41until I was 19.

00:05:42Yeah, it was crazy.

00:05:44All right, all right.

00:05:45So, wait, real quick

00:05:46before we do get into the game,

00:05:47Mikey,

00:05:49I mean,

00:05:49you were kind of nerding out

00:05:50about Zach yesterday.

00:05:51How are you feeling?

00:05:52When Big Cat told me

00:05:52he was coming in,

00:05:53I like physically jumped

00:05:55out of my seat.

00:05:56It's like, I mean,

00:05:57everyone,

00:05:57like there's a lot of people

00:05:58that come through this office

00:05:59and like we had Joe Thomas

00:06:01last week.

00:06:01It's so cool

00:06:02and I've asked you

00:06:03a million questions,

00:06:05but it was just like so cool

00:06:06to just have like

00:06:07one of your boys.

00:06:08Yeah.

00:06:08Like O-Lyman,

00:06:09the brotherhood is just like,

00:06:11everyone's the same.

00:06:13How many holding penalties

00:06:14did you tell me Zach had

00:06:15in his entire career earlier?

00:06:16Seven.

00:06:17So that means you had

00:06:18as many all pros

00:06:20as holding penalties?

00:06:21That's accepted holding penalties.

00:06:23Oh my God, dude.

00:06:24That's insane.

00:06:26I can't even wrap

00:06:27my brain around that.

00:06:28That's going to be like

00:06:29the craziest sports statistic

00:06:31of all time, arguably.

00:06:33All right.

00:06:33Let's get into last night's game.

00:06:35Not the most exciting

00:06:36Thursday night game.

00:06:37We've had some good ones,

00:06:38but Chargers absolutely

00:06:39dominate the Vikings.

00:06:41But since we have

00:06:43so many O-Lyman here,

00:06:45to me,

00:06:46the story of last night,

00:06:47because like Justin Herbert

00:06:48did great,

00:06:49the running back,

00:06:49another 100-yard game,

00:06:50but it was the return

00:06:51of Joe Ault.

00:06:53The Chargers line

00:06:54has been a disaster

00:06:55thus far this season,

00:06:57and when Joe Ault

00:06:59has played,

00:07:01finished and started games,

00:07:02they're 4-0.

00:07:03I've got some numbers

00:07:04we get into

00:07:04about how much better

00:07:05Herbert's been.

00:07:06But Zach,

00:07:07what about like,

00:07:08because it's one player

00:07:09returning,

00:07:10but when it's a left tackle,

00:07:12and suddenly you don't have

00:07:13to commit resources there,

00:07:14like there's a knock-on effect,

00:07:15right?

00:07:16Oh yeah,

00:07:16and with Slater being out,

00:07:18you kick all over,

00:07:19so you're really on,

00:07:20when all goes out,

00:07:21you're really on your

00:07:21third, fourth tackle,

00:07:22or you're moving guys around,

00:07:23shuffling guys on the line,

00:07:24which I'm not a huge fan of.

00:07:26It's kind of last resort

00:07:27type thing,

00:07:28because you're making

00:07:28multiple positions worse.

00:07:30But really,

00:07:31when you add a guy

00:07:32like Joe Ault back there,

00:07:32you saw Herbert,

00:07:33super comfortable back there.

00:07:35They get Khalil Mack

00:07:36back last night,

00:07:37he's getting pressure

00:07:37on the quarterback.

00:07:38So you know,

00:07:39we talk about the line

00:07:39of scrimmage all the time,

00:07:40their best offensive lineman

00:07:42this year,

00:07:42and their best defensive lineman

00:07:43come back last night,

00:07:45and they get a huge win.

00:07:46Just absolutely

00:07:47dominate the Vikings,

00:07:48get off the mat

00:07:48after last week,

00:07:49Vikings in a bit of trouble.

00:07:52Mikey,

00:07:52what did you think

00:07:53on last night's game?

00:07:53What stood out to you?

00:07:54Yeah,

00:07:54I was talking to Zach,

00:07:56like watching Joe Ault,

00:07:58the way,

00:07:58and he had a little scary.

00:08:00We,

00:08:00because I'm big on injuries,

00:08:02I see injuries really well.

00:08:04Oh really?

00:08:05And also,

00:08:06Dr. K.

00:08:07He's been talking about it

00:08:08since yesterday morning

00:08:09and he did not disappoint last night.

00:08:11Dr. K.

00:08:11Yeah,

00:08:12I don't know what it is,

00:08:13but they were running,

00:08:15the defense was running a twist

00:08:16and Joe kind of got tripped up

00:08:18and someone fell on his ankle

00:08:20and he twisted up

00:08:20and he was fine,

00:08:21but other than that,

00:08:22like the way he's in his stance,

00:08:24he's so wide,

00:08:25and like Zach was saying,

00:08:27it's so hard to get around him

00:08:28because he's just such a wide guy

00:08:29and he latches up

00:08:30and he's just an incredible player

00:08:33and he's enormous.

00:08:34He's huge.

00:08:35He towers over everyone in the huddle.

00:08:37He's every bit of 6'8".

00:08:38He's every bit of 6'8".

00:08:39When you see him in person,

00:08:41I mean,

00:08:41he's just a big dude.

00:08:42And this Vidal guy.

00:08:43Bro,

00:08:44Vidal's a loser.

00:08:45He's a tiny little battering ram.

00:08:47And he was stepping in,

00:08:50hitting these blitzing linebackers,

00:08:52getting under their chin.

00:08:53He's not afraid of anything

00:08:54and he can run the dang ball.

00:08:56I like the little back though

00:08:57because,

00:08:57you know,

00:08:57Harbaugh,

00:08:58they run a lot of gap scheme,

00:08:59you know,

00:09:00and he finds a little crease

00:09:01and hits it.

00:09:01It's almost like the defense

00:09:02can't find him.

00:09:03You know,

00:09:03you get all these double teams

00:09:04washing the defense

00:09:05and he just squirts through it.

00:09:06And then they can't get

00:09:07underneath him

00:09:07to try to get a clean hit on him,

00:09:09dude.

00:09:09He's under everybody.

00:09:10Chief,

00:09:11Carson Wentz last night.

00:09:13It was a,

00:09:15sometimes it's like,

00:09:16It's the end.

00:09:17Sometimes it's painful to,

00:09:18there was that Georgia game,

00:09:20or no,

00:09:20the San Francisco game

00:09:22a couple weeks ago

00:09:23where Mac Jones

00:09:24was clearly dying

00:09:25on the sideline.

00:09:27Carson went through it

00:09:28last night.

00:09:28Yeah,

00:09:28and you see J.J. McCarthy

00:09:30looking very healthy

00:09:32on the sideline.

00:09:34We tried to tell you this.

00:09:35He's got an ankle problem.

00:09:36He's hiding it well

00:09:37because he looked great

00:09:37on the sideline.

00:09:38I think it's time

00:09:38to bring him back.

00:09:39I think that was the key.

00:09:41That fourth quarter,

00:09:42this is J.J.

00:09:43Yeah,

00:09:43really.

00:09:44Nimble.

00:09:45Nimble.

00:09:46So,

00:09:46I don't know what his

00:09:47return time is,

00:09:48but I think if the Vikings

00:09:49are going to save their season,

00:09:50it's got to be J.J.

00:09:52Next week.

00:09:52It's got to be next week.

00:09:53Well,

00:09:53okay,

00:09:54I'll ask you about this,

00:09:55Zach,

00:09:55though.

00:09:55So,

00:09:55this is a weird dynamic,

00:09:56right?

00:09:57Because you could say

00:09:57it's got to be J.J.,

00:09:58but he was awful

00:10:00for seven of eight quarters

00:10:01that we saw him,

00:10:01but it's like,

00:10:02That one quarter,

00:10:03though.

00:10:03The one quarter was good.

00:10:05Versus the Bears.

00:10:06Yeah,

00:10:06yeah,

00:10:06yeah.

00:10:07The Bears are good now.

00:10:08Yeah,

00:10:09of course,

00:10:10no Bears fan here.

00:10:11So,

00:10:12but like,

00:10:13I guess I'm asking more

00:10:14about this dynamic

00:10:14because we do see it a lot,

00:10:16right,

00:10:16where the backup quarterback's

00:10:17always the most popular

00:10:18guy in town,

00:10:18right?

00:10:19But like,

00:10:19the Vikings,

00:10:20we all think K.O.C.'s

00:10:22quarterback whisperer.

00:10:23Yeah.

00:10:24So,

00:10:24we don't trust him

00:10:25to play J.J. McCarthy

00:10:27if he's the best option?

00:10:29Like,

00:10:29that's the disconnect for me.

00:10:31Like,

00:10:32I get it.

00:10:32I know what you're saying.

00:10:33You maybe have to go in

00:10:34because Carson Wentz

00:10:35has clearly kind of

00:10:36run its course here,

00:10:37but I don't know

00:10:38if I hold much hope

00:10:39that it's going to be

00:10:40significantly better.

00:10:42Yeah,

00:10:42I don't know

00:10:42if they're trying to,

00:10:43you know,

00:10:44they don't want to

00:10:44throw him into the fire.

00:10:45They don't know

00:10:46if he's not ready yet.

00:10:49But yeah,

00:10:49I mean,

00:10:49Wentz was hurting last night.

00:10:50I got to give him

00:10:51some credit.

00:10:52I mean,

00:10:52he was getting tattooed

00:10:54back there.

00:10:55His shoulder was banged up

00:10:56and be out there

00:10:58and finish the game.

00:10:58But also,

00:10:59And he's our age,

00:11:00right?

00:11:00I don't know

00:11:00if we've heard anything

00:11:01from like Vikings,

00:11:02but, you know,

00:11:03if it was a situation

00:11:05where he needed to play,

00:11:07I would feel like

00:11:07more players would be

00:11:08coming out

00:11:08and saying things,

00:11:10which we haven't

00:11:10really seen that yet.

00:11:11Yeah,

00:11:12like he's not just

00:11:12tearing it up at practice

00:11:13and they feel like

00:11:14they're like holding him back.

00:11:15Right.

00:11:16We don't see.

00:11:18But you know what Carson

00:11:19is at this point.

00:11:20Yes.

00:11:20And JJ has like the potential

00:11:22to at least be something.

00:11:24The high pick,

00:11:24the national championship,

00:11:25all the big arm.

00:11:27If it's going to progress,

00:11:28you would think

00:11:29it would be the guy

00:11:30that has the potential.

00:11:31And eventually,

00:11:31you just got to hand

00:11:32the keys to him.

00:11:32Yeah,

00:11:33eventually you have to.

00:11:33He's the first round pick,

00:11:34right?

00:11:34Exactly.

00:11:35He's the franchise.

00:11:36You invested a first round pick

00:11:37in him,

00:11:37an early first round pick.

00:11:39At some point,

00:11:39you're going to have to go in there

00:11:40and see what we got.

00:11:41You have to.

00:11:41Yeah.

00:11:42Ooh,

00:11:43dark times for Vikings fans.

00:11:44I mean,

00:11:45KOC,

00:11:45you're supposed to be the guy

00:11:46and let you let Sam Darnall leave.

00:11:49You let Danny Dimes leave

00:11:50and look at what you have now.

00:11:52Think about that.

00:11:53Yeah.

00:11:53That's right, dude.

00:11:55All right,

00:11:55coming up next,

00:12:24one of the hottest teams

00:12:25in the country,

00:12:25one of the most likable

00:12:26and enjoyable teams

00:12:27watching the rise of Vanderbilt

00:12:28the last few years.

00:12:29We got a highlight to show you

00:12:31of Cade in a second,

00:12:32but first,

00:12:32if we get out our sauce,

00:12:33Cade and you as well.

00:12:43That brings back right there.

00:12:45Oh,

00:12:45yeah.

00:12:46Every drive.

00:12:50Meg,

00:12:50how we feeling?

00:12:51Around the eyes.

00:12:52Wow.

00:12:52Around here.

00:12:53Just a little bit.

00:12:53Oh,

00:12:53really?

00:12:54Oh,

00:12:54I've never done that before.

00:12:58Not too close.

00:12:59I am leaving.

00:12:59The eyes is insane.

00:13:02Cade, baby,

00:13:03what's up, dude?

00:13:04What's up?

00:13:05Okay,

00:13:06so this is Cade McConnell,

00:13:07guys.

00:13:07Can we go ahead and play the highlight

00:13:08to set the scene?

00:13:09Yes, please.

00:13:10Of course,

00:13:11this Vanderbilt team

00:13:12completely changed.

00:13:13Yeah,

00:13:14here it is.

00:13:15Bang!

00:13:17God,

00:13:17double kill.

00:13:19Cade,

00:13:19what would,

00:13:21bro,

00:13:21take us back to that play,

00:13:23and then get into a little extra.

00:13:24I love an extra shot.

00:13:26Take us back to that play.

00:13:27Is that your favorite play

00:13:29that you've ever had?

00:13:30I think it's got to be,

00:13:32right?

00:13:33Yeah.

00:13:34I don't know if I've done

00:13:35much to many things like that,

00:13:37honestly,

00:13:38in my life.

00:13:38So you were in,

00:13:39so it looks like you just had

00:13:41like a four-eye there.

00:13:42Were you kind of setting out

00:13:44to both guys,

00:13:45but then the guy dropped

00:13:46and you were kind of like

00:13:47looking for work,

00:13:48or what was that?

00:13:49Yeah,

00:13:50yeah,

00:13:50so we were five on five,

00:13:51and we had the boundary drop,

00:13:53so I'm passing that off

00:13:54to my tackle.

00:13:55That's quite the best.

00:13:56I didn't know he fell.

00:13:57Oh,

00:13:57you didn't even know he fell.

00:13:59No,

00:14:00and then so like

00:14:00when I felt my tackle's hip,

00:14:02I just kind of turned around

00:14:03and someone was there,

00:14:04so.

00:14:05I mean,

00:14:05and it's like the second one

00:14:06makes sense,

00:14:07but the power of the punch

00:14:09on the first one,

00:14:10Cade,

00:14:10is crazy.

00:14:11That is excellent strength

00:14:12there,

00:14:12dude.

00:14:13I love that.

00:14:13We call it a snap off.

00:14:13Yeah,

00:14:14it doesn't happen too often.

00:14:14Snap off?

00:14:15Snapping the T.E. off.

00:14:16We just talked about that play

00:14:17that we talked about

00:14:18with Alt last night,

00:14:19right?

00:14:20Like,

00:14:20this is what,

00:14:21at offensive guard

00:14:22in a pass situation,

00:14:24you got to protect your tackle

00:14:25and you got to snap them off.

00:14:26Yeah,

00:14:27well,

00:14:27Cade,

00:14:28you definitely did that.

00:14:29Take us into

00:14:30the Vanderbilt program

00:14:32and locker room right now

00:14:33because the rise of Vandy

00:14:35under Clark Lee

00:14:36has been astounding.

00:14:38I mean,

00:14:38it was a few years ago

00:14:39where he tits the job

00:14:40and he's talking about

00:14:41wanting to win championships

00:14:42and we're all kind of laughing

00:14:43and saying,

00:14:44oh,

00:14:44well,

00:14:44that's not going to be possible

00:14:45and look at y'all now,

00:14:47man.

00:14:48What do you think's been

00:14:49the key to making this thing

00:14:51that seemed so far-fetched

00:14:52a reality?

00:14:54Yeah,

00:14:54so,

00:14:55you know,

00:14:55you mentioned Coach Clark Lee

00:14:57and I think that he's had

00:14:58the same mission

00:14:59since he's gotten here

00:14:59and it's winning

00:15:00and I think that's at any level

00:15:03that we can make it,

00:15:04we're going to make it.

00:15:04You know,

00:15:05we focus on going 1-0 every week,

00:15:071-0 every game.

00:15:08I think that's really,

00:15:10like,

00:15:10what makes us special

00:15:11is,

00:15:12you know,

00:15:12there can be all this

00:15:13outside noise,

00:15:14no hate on anything.

00:15:15Like,

00:15:15obviously,

00:15:16this stuff is amazing.

00:15:17All this outside noise,

00:15:18but,

00:15:18you know,

00:15:18at the end of the day,

00:15:19we're going to walk

00:15:20in that locker room,

00:15:20we're going to,

00:15:21you know,

00:15:21tie up our cleats

00:15:22and it's 1-0

00:15:23just with our brothers.

00:15:24That's something that Clark Lee,

00:15:25you know,

00:15:26you know,

00:15:26he gives that to us

00:15:27every morning

00:15:28and I think that starts

00:15:30with him,

00:15:30it comes from the top down,

00:15:31you know,

00:15:31Diego says the same

00:15:32exact stuff,

00:15:33maybe in a little

00:15:34different way

00:15:35than Coach Lee.

00:15:37You know,

00:15:37he says the same stuff.

00:15:39Is that the O-line coach?

00:15:40No,

00:15:41Diego Pop,

00:15:41that's the quarterback.

00:15:43Quarterback,

00:15:43quarterback,

00:15:43sorry.

00:15:44No,

00:15:44he's a little,

00:15:45he's a monster.

00:15:46He's just a little,

00:15:47well,

00:15:47I mean,

00:15:48that's what I wanted

00:15:49to ask you about,

00:15:50man,

00:15:50because we all know

00:15:51what it's like

00:15:51to play with

00:15:52a great quarterback

00:15:53and you almost,

00:15:54it's like that like

00:15:55general on a battlefield

00:15:56sort of feel

00:15:57and there may be

00:15:58nobody better

00:15:59in the country

00:15:59in that sense

00:16:00right now

00:16:00than Diego.

00:16:02What do you think

00:16:03makes him

00:16:04like someone

00:16:05that kind of

00:16:06the boys want to

00:16:06follow and fight for?

00:16:08Yeah,

00:16:09I think the special

00:16:10thing about Diego

00:16:10is he's like

00:16:11the ultimate competitor.

00:16:13Like,

00:16:13in anything that he does,

00:16:14he wants to beat

00:16:15somebody at

00:16:15and I think

00:16:17that,

00:16:17you know,

00:16:17it bleeds

00:16:18into all of us

00:16:19as well.

00:16:20He also is like,

00:16:21there's a switch

00:16:22that flips

00:16:22that once he comes

00:16:23off the field,

00:16:23he's the most

00:16:24personable person.

00:16:26You know,

00:16:26he knows every

00:16:27single person's

00:16:28name in the facility.

00:16:29You know,

00:16:29I mean,

00:16:30he's great to be around.

00:16:31He's a great leader.

00:16:32You know,

00:16:32everybody trusts him.

00:16:33I think he's

00:16:33the best quarterback

00:16:34in the country,

00:16:35best football player

00:16:35in the country.

00:16:37So,

00:16:37you know,

00:16:38I love blocking for him.

00:16:39You know,

00:16:39I do a lot

00:16:39for that guy

00:16:40and a lot

00:16:42I wouldn't say on here,

00:16:43but I do a lot

00:16:43for that guy.

00:16:44Let's go,

00:16:46dude.

00:16:47What's the O-line room

00:16:48like camaraderie-wise?

00:16:50Are you guys

00:16:50chilling outside

00:16:51the facility?

00:16:53I know like O-linemen

00:16:54we're easy to hang out

00:16:55with.

00:16:55I love O-offensive linemen

00:16:57with everything in me.

00:16:59So,

00:17:00what's that like?

00:17:01You guys,

00:17:01you know,

00:17:02get food every week,

00:17:03the chilling

00:17:04on the outside.

00:17:05What's that

00:17:05looking like?

00:17:07Yeah,

00:17:07so we do the

00:17:08quick and strong side.

00:17:10So,

00:17:10we flip.

00:17:11So,

00:17:11my quick tackle.

00:17:11That's right.

00:17:12I forgot about that.

00:17:13We hang out like

00:17:14we're with each other

00:17:15every single day.

00:17:16I'm not in classes

00:17:16because we do have

00:17:17in-person classes

00:17:18at Vanderbilt.

00:17:20He is not

00:17:21in-person classes,

00:17:23so he's kind of

00:17:24chilling at the facility

00:17:24more than me.

00:17:25But,

00:17:25you know,

00:17:26if we're not watching film

00:17:27with the whole O-line,

00:17:28then we're hanging out,

00:17:29going to get food.

00:17:30Obviously,

00:17:30we eat 24-7.

00:17:33But no,

00:17:33dude,

00:17:33our O-line is like

00:17:34the closest I've been around.

00:17:36You know,

00:17:36we're all best friends

00:17:37in there.

00:17:37We all come from

00:17:38different schools.

00:17:39All five of us,

00:17:40starters,

00:17:40have played somewhere else.

00:17:42Oh,

00:17:42wow.

00:17:42Played,

00:17:43but went to school

00:17:43somewhere else.

00:17:45And yeah,

00:17:46so it really is just like

00:17:47we're all a band of misfits.

00:17:48You know,

00:17:49Coach Lee says that

00:17:49all the time.

00:17:50And I think our O-line

00:17:51really is just a band of,

00:17:53you know,

00:17:5420 misfits

00:17:54that are put together.

00:17:56So,

00:17:56okay,

00:17:57you mentioned flipping

00:17:58and this is terrible.

00:17:59Like,

00:17:59I should have been on this.

00:18:00I mean,

00:18:00what are some of the,

00:18:01I mean,

00:18:01Zach,

00:18:02do you actually,

00:18:02do you?

00:18:02Well,

00:18:03I'm curious

00:18:03because I've never been

00:18:04a part of a line

00:18:05that does the quick

00:18:06and strong side.

00:18:06So,

00:18:07what is,

00:18:07are you running

00:18:10plays that you're running

00:18:11on both sides?

00:18:11Or like,

00:18:12how does practice work?

00:18:13Are you constantly

00:18:13flip-flopping right,

00:18:15left,

00:18:15right,

00:18:15left,

00:18:15or what?

00:18:17Yeah,

00:18:17so we flip with the strength.

00:18:20So,

00:18:20you know,

00:18:21strong side,

00:18:22quick side,

00:18:22obviously.

00:18:23It's really weak side.

00:18:24I think we just don't

00:18:24like calling them weak side.

00:18:25But,

00:18:27you know,

00:18:28we don't have the same plays.

00:18:31We run,

00:18:31you know,

00:18:31the same play

00:18:32regardless of the strength

00:18:33and they can give us strength

00:18:34and flip the call

00:18:35or,

00:18:36you know,

00:18:36trade the tight ends

00:18:37and stuff like that.

00:18:37So,

00:18:38you really have to know

00:18:38the whole offense.

00:18:39Yeah.

00:18:40I think switching

00:18:42from left to right,

00:18:43that's hard.

00:18:44People ask me all the time

00:18:45and I almost would rather

00:18:46move from guard to tackle

00:18:48on the same side

00:18:49than switch

00:18:50from left to right.

00:18:51So,

00:18:52people don't understand

00:18:52how hard that is

00:18:53to cross-train like that

00:18:54for a whole season.

00:18:56Yeah.

00:18:57We do get a lot of,

00:18:58we get a lot of like,

00:18:59oh,

00:18:59you know,

00:18:59why would you guys do that?

00:19:00Why would you guys do that?

00:19:01And we really kind of

00:19:03embrace it a little bit.

00:19:04Obviously,

00:19:05for the next level,

00:19:06it's good that your feet

00:19:06are right and both

00:19:07right and left.

00:19:09But,

00:19:10you know,

00:19:10we kind of embrace it.

00:19:11You know,

00:19:11like I said,

00:19:12we're abandoned misfits,

00:19:13dude.

00:19:13And,

00:19:14you know,

00:19:14people might,

00:19:14people think it's weird,

00:19:15you know,

00:19:15across the country

00:19:16and,

00:19:16you know,

00:19:17let it be weird.

00:19:18We're,

00:19:18we're a weird group of guys.

00:19:19I love it.

00:19:20I love it.

00:19:22Well,

00:19:23that weird group of guys now,

00:19:25another massive game

00:19:26in Nashville this weekend.

00:19:28What's it like playing

00:19:29in that stadium,

00:19:30man?

00:19:31Because even,

00:19:31even,

00:19:31even as,

00:19:32you know,

00:19:32even last year,

00:19:33Coach Saban,

00:19:34who,

00:19:35you know,

00:19:35we all respect and love,

00:19:37he even had some jokes

00:19:38about like,

00:19:38you know,

00:19:39playing in Nashville

00:19:39and home field advantage

00:19:41or lack thereof,

00:19:42but felt,

00:19:43it's felt pretty damn strong

00:19:44thus far this year,

00:19:45man.

00:19:45It's going to be pretty live

00:19:46this weekend.

00:19:48Yeah,

00:19:48it's definitely going to be

00:19:49a fun one this weekend.

00:19:50You know,

00:19:50the stadium,

00:19:51so my first year here

00:19:52was last year

00:19:53and the new side

00:19:54was completely

00:19:55like just construction

00:19:56last year.

00:19:58So,

00:19:58you know,

00:19:59we're in a concrete jungle

00:20:00out there.

00:20:00Now it looks all pretty,

00:20:01but,

00:20:02you know,

00:20:02when we walk in there,

00:20:03you know,

00:20:03it's still our home

00:20:04and it's still

00:20:05that concrete jungle

00:20:06we all battled in

00:20:07the last two years.

00:20:09Fans are coming out

00:20:10and it's awesome

00:20:11to see Nashville

00:20:12rally around

00:20:13Vanderbilt football.

00:20:13I think Diego

00:20:14and Coach Lee

00:20:14and Candace Lee,

00:20:16our AD,

00:20:16have done a great job

00:20:17at that.

00:20:18But no,

00:20:19dude,

00:20:19this weekend

00:20:19is going to be awesome.

00:20:20Obviously,

00:20:20college game day

00:20:21is once in a lifetime

00:20:22experience

00:20:22and Mizzou

00:20:23is a great football team.

00:20:24I obviously think

00:20:25we're a great football team,

00:20:26so it's going to be

00:20:27a heavyweight matchup

00:20:28and I'm excited about it.

00:20:29What are you seeing

00:20:30on tape from Mizzou

00:20:31thus far?

00:20:32Good.

00:20:33Good D-line.

00:20:34The front seven,

00:20:34obviously,

00:20:35we're playing the SEC.

00:20:37It's going to be great

00:20:37every single week.

00:20:39Always the back end

00:20:39of the defense

00:20:40is always going to be good.

00:20:41You know,

00:20:41it's really weapons

00:20:42against weapons

00:20:42every week

00:20:43as long as we do

00:20:44our job up front

00:20:45and obviously

00:20:46that's what we're going

00:20:46to go in the game

00:20:47and think we're going to do.

00:20:49But obviously,

00:20:50it's going to be a challenge.

00:20:51It's going to be

00:20:51a really fun challenge though

00:20:52and I'm excited

00:20:52to get out there Saturday.

00:20:54You know,

00:20:55Big Ten front sevens

00:20:56are pretty good too,

00:20:56man.

00:20:57Just saying.

00:20:57I don't know, dude.

00:20:59I don't know, dude.

00:21:00Last question for me

00:21:01after the season,

00:21:02I am coming down

00:21:03to Nashville.

00:21:03I don't think

00:21:04it's even a question.

00:21:05We're going to hang out.

00:21:06We're going to hit Broadway.

00:21:08I can't wait.

00:21:09Thanks for coming on, dude.

00:21:10I'll text you later.

00:21:13That's very funny.

00:21:14He said last question

00:21:15from me.

00:21:17I don't think

00:21:17it's a question.

00:21:18I'm sure what the voice.

00:21:20Can we hang out?

00:21:22No, we are hanging out.

00:21:24No, it's not a question.

00:21:26It was both

00:21:27literally not a question

00:21:29and that they are hanging out

00:21:30and it did not end

00:21:31in a question.

00:21:31No, I didn't even

00:21:32give him an answer.

00:21:32Hey, Cade,

00:21:34go kick ass this weekend, man.

00:21:36Thanks for coming on.

00:21:37Congrats.

00:21:38Big boy of the week.

00:21:39Let's go.

00:21:39Cade McConnell,

00:21:40absolute legend, man.

00:21:41Game day Saturday

00:21:42in Nashville.

00:21:43Good luck, man.

00:21:43Appreciate you, brother.

00:21:44Appreciate it, boys.

00:21:44Thank you, guys.

00:21:45All right, there you go,

00:21:46Cade McConnell.

00:21:47Yeah, good vibes

00:21:48on that guy.

00:21:48I love it.

00:21:49The quick side,

00:21:50strong side thing

00:21:50is crazy.

00:21:51I called him after the game

00:21:52and I was like,

00:21:53what is that?

00:21:54He's right there.

00:21:55I called him

00:21:55and he was explaining it

00:21:57and I was like,

00:21:57dude, I feel like

00:21:58when you're so dialed in

00:22:01on one side,

00:22:03your feet,

00:22:03your mechanics,

00:22:04everything,

00:22:05what hand you're punching with

00:22:06and now you have to flip

00:22:08everything in your brain

00:22:09every single play.

00:22:10You don't even know

00:22:11what the next play is

00:22:12if you're going to be

00:22:13on the left or right side.

00:22:14And he was like,

00:22:14yeah, it's crazy.

00:22:16But when you gel,

00:22:17because as a guard,

00:22:19you're always gelling

00:22:19with the center

00:22:20on every play.

00:22:21But when you're traveling

00:22:22with a tackle

00:22:23that you gel with,

00:22:24I feel like that makes it easier.

00:22:26But it's still

00:22:27the flipping of the brain

00:22:28and flipping your mechanics

00:22:30is what drives me.

00:22:30And also,

00:22:31you've got to have

00:22:32your coaches mix up the scheme

00:22:34and come up with different ways

00:22:35because when I'm watching tape,

00:22:37I would think

00:22:38strong side, quick side,

00:22:39there's a lot of tells

00:22:40to pick up.

00:22:40So the coach has got to be

00:22:41on it to mix it up

00:22:42and make it look the same

00:22:43on both sides.

00:22:44Well, and I guess

00:22:45actually through that

00:22:46then though,

00:22:46I guess it could open up

00:22:48some interesting

00:22:49play calling opportunities.

00:22:50Because nobody else

00:22:52is doing it right.

00:22:53And so you could kind of

00:22:54subvert expectations

00:22:55in a lot of ways.

00:22:56Like, hey,

00:22:58if they're in this,

00:23:00when the strong side

00:23:01goes to the right

00:23:01and they're running this,

00:23:02then you can maybe

00:23:03flip and be like,

00:23:04okay, let's run

00:23:05the opposite way

00:23:06so that defense,

00:23:07I don't know what I'm saying.

00:23:08No, no, no, no, no.

00:23:08I know what I'm saying.

00:23:10Imagine being the defense

00:23:11how confused you are.

00:23:13You're saying exactly

00:23:14what I was like.

00:23:15I agree with you.

00:23:17I don't know exactly

00:23:18what it would look like,

00:23:19but it is so

00:23:20different that there's

00:23:21some kind of

00:23:21against the grain

00:23:22opportunities.

00:23:23I don't know.

00:23:23I kind of maybe

00:23:25have a little bit

00:23:26of, not insight,

00:23:28I don't know.

00:23:29I kind of feel

00:23:29where they're coming from

00:23:30because I was never

00:23:31quite good enough

00:23:32to just fully submit

00:23:34myself at a single

00:23:35position every year.

00:23:35So I started one year

00:23:36at center,

00:23:37one year at right guard,

00:23:37one year at left guard.

00:23:38In my senior year,

00:23:39even though I was

00:23:40starting at guard,

00:23:40I would do two plays

00:23:41left guard,

00:23:42two plays center,

00:23:42two plays right guard.

00:23:43That sucks.

00:23:44And so it was like,

00:23:45I know then two plays out.

00:23:46I'm like, what?

00:23:47I'm thinking more reps

00:23:48than everybody.

00:23:51But the point is

00:23:53if you're doing it

00:23:55consistently,

00:23:55it really does start

00:23:57to become second nature,

00:23:58the kind of footwork

00:23:59and everything.

00:24:00And I'm sure that,

00:24:01what I wonder is,

00:24:02during individual,

00:24:04are they,

00:24:04I guess it just all

00:24:05comes to the place.

00:24:07That's where I went.

00:24:08I'm like,

00:24:08what does individual look like?

00:24:09Yeah,

00:24:10like are you taking it

00:24:11from both sides

00:24:12or then is it just

00:24:13through team

00:24:14because they're going

00:24:14to be flipping?

00:24:15Very interesting.

00:24:17Watch for this Saturday,

00:24:18guys.

00:24:18When you watch

00:24:20the Mizzou-Vandy game,

00:24:21it's a completely

00:24:21unique offense.

00:24:23Jerry Kill coming over

00:24:24from New Mexico

00:24:24with Diego Pavia

00:24:26a couple of years ago

00:24:27and it's been

00:24:28incredible since.

00:24:30All right, guys,

00:24:31coming up next here

00:24:31on Wake Up Barstool,

00:24:33it's time to go

00:24:33inside of Zach

00:24:34as we talk Cowboys,

00:24:37we talk Notre Dame,

00:24:38his brain.

00:24:41life in the NFL,

00:24:42everything.

00:24:43Coming up next,

00:24:44don't go anywhere

00:24:45here on FS1.

00:24:47Awesome.

00:24:50What's happening, y'all?

00:24:51Welcome back here

00:24:52to Wake Up Barstool.

00:24:54It's been a very fun morning.

00:24:55We got the big boys here.

00:24:56We got the NFL legend,

00:24:58Zach Martin.

00:24:58Bro, I just keep finding

00:25:00crazier and crazier

00:25:02anecdotes about how good

00:25:04you were at football.

00:25:06In 2019,

00:25:08Martin became one of five

00:25:09offensive linemen ever

00:25:10to secure a Pro Bowl

00:25:12invitation in each

00:25:13of their first six seasons.

00:25:15It's you,

00:25:16Lou Creekmer,

00:25:17John Morris,

00:25:18Joe Thomas,

00:25:19and Richmond Webb.

00:25:20Crazy part about that,

00:25:21I mean,

00:25:21you and Joe are the only

00:25:22people near the kind

00:25:24of modern era

00:25:25to achieve that.

00:25:26And then how about this,

00:25:26Kate?

00:25:27In 2022,

00:25:28started all 17 games,

00:25:291,143 snaps,

00:25:33one holding penalty,

00:25:34not a single sack.

00:25:35Wow.

00:25:36Again,

00:25:38the list goes on and on.

00:25:40Nine-time Pro Bowler,

00:25:41seven holding penalties

00:25:42accepted for the year

00:25:43in 11 years.

00:25:45As many all pros as pros.

00:25:47It's insane.

00:25:48Pure discipline.

00:25:49Just beast.

00:25:52When did you,

00:25:53when did you know

00:25:56that you were like,

00:25:58okay,

00:25:58like I'm actually

00:25:59a bit different?

00:26:00Was it like,

00:26:01was it literally,

00:26:01I mean,

00:26:02I'm used to be a recruit.

00:26:02And I guess what I mean

00:26:05is I'm not even talking

00:26:06just like high school recruiting

00:26:07because that's when,

00:26:08you know,

00:26:08you start getting D1 offers,

00:26:09everybody's like,

00:26:09you're probably ranked

00:26:10really high,

00:26:11but like you're different,

00:26:12different.

00:26:13Did you ever come to

00:26:14the realization,

00:26:15like,

00:26:15oh,

00:26:15I'm the best?

00:26:16I made a huge jump

00:26:17my senior and fifth year

00:26:20year at Notre Dame.

00:26:22Okay.

00:26:22We had a line coach,

00:26:23chief,

00:26:23I'll know his name,

00:26:24Harry Heastan.

00:26:24Oh, yeah.

00:26:25He came in

00:26:26my true senior year

00:26:28and really changed

00:26:30everything about

00:26:31my football game.

00:26:33Really?

00:26:33Yeah.

00:26:34I mean,

00:26:34just like the mentality

00:26:35of it.

00:26:37I get chills thinking

00:26:38about it,

00:26:38man.

00:26:38I got chills.

00:26:38Like the importance

00:26:40of the offensive line

00:26:41brotherhood and how much

00:26:42that means and who you

00:26:43play for,

00:26:44like everything.

00:26:44My mindset about football

00:26:45just changed

00:26:46and I kind of hit

00:26:47the ground right.

00:26:48I was always a solid

00:26:49player,

00:26:49good player,

00:26:49but I attribute a lot

00:26:52to him coming in there

00:26:53and,

00:26:54you know,

00:26:54just changing my mindset,

00:26:56honestly.

00:26:56Well,

00:26:56it made him like

00:26:57lineman you.

00:26:58He had so many

00:26:59first-round picks

00:27:00and that was not

00:27:01the case for 20 years

00:27:03before he got there.

00:27:04What made him

00:27:05so different?

00:27:06Well,

00:27:07his mentor

00:27:08was Joe Moore,

00:27:10the great Joe Moore.

00:27:11Oh, wow.

00:27:11He was the line coach,

00:27:12obviously,

00:27:13Pittsburgh,

00:27:13Notre Dame,

00:27:14all the All-Americans.

00:27:16So when he came to Notre Dame,

00:27:17I remember sitting down

00:27:18with him having a meeting

00:27:19and his plan was

00:27:20we need to restore

00:27:21the tradition back

00:27:22into the Notre Dame

00:27:22offensive line.

00:27:23And I got a lot

00:27:25of pride in that

00:27:25because it's still

00:27:26going to this space.

00:27:26He's got Joe Alts

00:27:28in his second year,

00:27:28all these guys coming out,

00:27:30Ronnie Stanley,

00:27:31Quentin Nelson,

00:27:31Nick Martin,

00:27:33Mike McGlin,

00:27:33the names go on and on.

00:27:36So that was kind of

00:27:37our goal

00:27:37and it's cool

00:27:38to see that

00:27:39that tradition

00:27:40at Notre Dame

00:27:40is back

00:27:41and cooking with gas.

00:27:43Yeah, dude,

00:27:43last year's O-line

00:27:44had like seven guys.

00:27:46Like there were injuries

00:27:47the next guy up

00:27:48kept playing well.

00:27:49A couple got paid

00:27:50to transfer for big money.

00:27:52Yeah,

00:27:53but it's a mindset.

00:27:53What happened, BK?

00:27:54Where's that now?

00:27:56You know,

00:27:56I mean,

00:27:57we got tackles.

00:27:58He said one to the Bears.

00:27:59Yeah, dude,

00:28:00we got tackles great

00:28:01now in the 30s

00:28:02down in Baton Rouge

00:28:03right now.

00:28:05Say it louder.

00:28:05Okay,

00:28:07let's talk Notre Dame

00:28:08then though.

00:28:10I guess we'll start with

00:28:11before we get to Notre Dame

00:28:12now,

00:28:13your time at Notre Dame

00:28:15because you obviously still

00:28:16have a lot of love

00:28:17for the school, man.

00:28:18I love Notre Dame.

00:28:20You know,

00:28:20my closest,

00:28:20I was telling KDIC last night,

00:28:22you know,

00:28:22my closest friends

00:28:23are all Notre Dame guys,

00:28:24guys that I live with

00:28:25my entire career there.

00:28:28But also kind of

00:28:29just what I talked about

00:28:30with the offensive line,

00:28:31it was cool

00:28:31to kind of be a part

00:28:32of getting Notre Dame

00:28:34back to,

00:28:35you know,

00:28:35relevance a little bit.

00:28:37My first year

00:28:38was Coach Weiss's

00:28:40last year.

00:28:41So we went 6-6,

00:28:42didn't go to a bowl game.

00:28:43I registered that year.

00:28:44I'm kind of like,

00:28:44what is college football?

00:28:46What is this?

00:28:46What did I sign up for?

00:28:47Right.

00:28:47And then,

00:28:47you know,

00:28:48the first two years

00:28:48with Kelly

00:28:49weren't very good.

00:28:50And then that 2012 season,

00:28:53we kind of caught,

00:28:54you know,

00:28:55lightning in a bottle.

00:28:56I took it and ran.

00:28:57And, you know,

00:28:58they've had years

00:28:58where they've gone back.

00:28:59But I would say

00:29:00for the most part,

00:29:01consistently since 2012,

00:29:02they've been,

00:29:03you know,

00:29:04they've been a top 25 team.

00:29:05Most years,

00:29:06we've had 10 wins or less.

00:29:08Right, yes.

00:29:08So it's cool

00:29:09to be a part of something

00:29:10like that.

00:29:10Obviously,

00:29:10you got a chance

00:29:11to play in a national championship.

00:29:12Didn't go according to plan.

00:29:15Neither did mine.

00:29:16Neither did mine.

00:29:17Yeah, we both get it.

00:29:19Alabama, Nick Saban.

00:29:20I really blame Kansas State

00:29:21because that's the,

00:29:23Kansas State should have,

00:29:24we should have played

00:29:25Kansas State.

00:29:26Dude, that is right.

00:29:27Colin Klein and Kansas State

00:29:28and then they blew it

00:29:29like last game of the season.

00:29:30I forgot about that.

00:29:31They let Alabama

00:29:32with one loss get in.

00:29:34Bro, this is,

00:29:34this is the same thing

00:29:36that I went through.

00:29:38Because we beat Alabama

00:29:39in Tuscaloosa.

00:29:41And then Oklahoma State

00:29:42should have made it,

00:29:42but they screwed up

00:29:43a Friday night game

00:29:44against Iowa State.

00:29:45And so they put Bama in there.

00:29:47See, guys,

00:29:48they just wanted to make

00:29:48Big Bama happen.

00:29:50Okay?

00:29:51All right,

00:29:52so what about Notre Dame

00:29:52this year, man?

00:29:53Look, it's a weird thing.

00:29:55I know how it started,

00:29:57but those two losses

00:29:58have kind of continued

00:29:59to appreciate in value

00:30:00for the most part.

00:30:01And after surviving last week,

00:30:03well, actually dominating

00:30:04USC by the end,

00:30:05it looks like they're set up

00:30:07for another 10-2

00:30:08in a playoff run.

00:30:09Yeah, I was down in Miami

00:30:11for the opener

00:30:12and obviously there was

00:30:13a lot of excitement

00:30:13down there.

00:30:14And a little bit

00:30:15of a disappointment

00:30:16that first game

00:30:16and they have a great one

00:30:17against Texas A&M,

00:30:18you know,

00:30:18just fall a little bit short.

00:30:19But I do like how

00:30:20they're battle-tested early.

00:30:21Yes.

00:30:22Like, I think they're

00:30:22going to be hitting

00:30:23their stride

00:30:23at a perfect time.

00:30:25Like, they battle-tested early,

00:30:27they're getting better,

00:30:28they're starting to really

00:30:29get after teams,

00:30:30and I think, you know,

00:30:32at 10-2,

00:30:32if they can win out,

00:30:34they're going to get in

00:30:34and they're going to be

00:30:35playing as good as anyone

00:30:36in the country at that point.

00:30:37I wouldn't want to see

00:30:37Notre Dame in the playoffs.

00:30:38Hell no.

00:30:39With the two backs,

00:30:40the quarterbacks playing.

00:30:41I did.

00:30:42I can understand that.

00:30:4698 yards.

00:30:47Yeah.

00:30:48And, I mean,

00:30:49C.J. Carr's

00:30:50continued to get better

00:30:51and better.

00:30:51Yeah, that was like

00:30:52the little thing,

00:30:53I'm sure, Chief,

00:30:53like, the first two weeks,

00:30:55everyone's pissed

00:30:56that we're 0-2,

00:30:57but there's also that

00:30:58C.J. Carr.

00:30:59But he's doing good.

00:31:00Like, the plays that he made

00:31:01against Miami were sick.

00:31:03And that's an element

00:31:03they did not have

00:31:04in offense last year.

00:31:05So, and I love Riley Leonard,

00:31:07tough as nails.

00:31:08Gamer.

00:31:08You know how to throw the ball,

00:31:09spread everybody out,

00:31:10just makes Jeremiah Love's job.

00:31:11And the offensive line of job

00:31:12is so much more easy.

00:31:13How did they get

00:31:14Lloyd Carr's grandkid

00:31:15to go to Notre Dame?

00:31:17I don't know.

00:31:18He fired Lloyd Carr.

00:31:18He spent, man,

00:31:19when he spins it,

00:31:21it just comes off

00:31:21his hand different.

00:31:22It really does,

00:31:24like as good as this year is

00:31:26and looks like it's going to be,

00:31:27the long-term future

00:31:29of Notre Dame

00:31:30having him at quarterback.

00:31:31And then, obviously,

00:31:31Marcus Freeman at coach.

00:31:33What do you find,

00:31:35kind of,

00:31:36and I don't know

00:31:36if you have insight here,

00:31:37but going from Kelly

00:31:39to Freeman,

00:31:39it's an interesting thing

00:31:41where a lot of times

00:31:42schools are very hesitant

00:31:43to, I think,

00:31:43hire from within.

00:31:44Yep.

00:31:45But, like,

00:31:45I remember how pumped

00:31:46the boys were

00:31:47when Freeman was announced.

00:31:49What have you heard

00:31:49about?

00:31:50Yeah, I think,

00:31:50I think the,

00:31:51when Kelly left

00:31:52for LSU,

00:31:53I think a lot of

00:31:54the veteran guys

00:31:55on the team

00:31:55kind of went in

00:31:56and stood on the table

00:31:57for Marcus.

00:31:58And, you know,

00:31:59that obviously

00:32:00went a long way

00:32:01with, you know,

00:32:02the brass at Notre Dame

00:32:03there.

00:32:04And, you know,

00:32:05I thought they made

00:32:05a great call.

00:32:06I mean,

00:32:06I've spent a little bit

00:32:07of time with him,

00:32:08had some interactions

00:32:09with him,

00:32:09and he's got a lot

00:32:11of energy.

00:32:11He can connect

00:32:12with the players.

00:32:12The guy can recruit.

00:32:14And he's just getting

00:32:14better.

00:32:15Like, this is not

00:32:16a finished product.

00:32:17He's still in his 30s.

00:32:18I think he's maybe

00:32:19a couple years older

00:32:19than me.

00:32:20I would give him

00:32:20a 40-year contract.

00:32:22Yeah, like,

00:32:22he's going to be

00:32:23continuing getting

00:32:24better at coaching

00:32:24and the more

00:32:26experience he gets,

00:32:26and it's a good time

00:32:28to be a Notre Dame fan.

00:32:29They're going to be

00:32:29pumping him in there.

00:32:30It's a good time.

00:32:31I am convinced

00:32:32he'll get one.

00:32:32I don't know

00:32:33if it's this year,

00:32:33but I think Marcus

00:32:34Freeman will win

00:32:35a national championship

00:32:35game.

00:32:35I'm with you.

00:32:36If he stays.

00:32:37Yeah, and Ohio State

00:32:39would be the only one

00:32:39that would scare me.

00:32:40There was like

00:32:41Penn State, Florida rumors,

00:32:42and he's like,

00:32:43no.

00:32:43Yeah, absolutely not.

00:32:44He can, yeah,

00:32:45he can, I mean,

00:32:46get that Signetti.

00:32:47Just so much more

00:32:48I was about to say,

00:32:48he can use all these

00:32:50open jobs just to leverage.

00:32:52What were you going

00:32:52to say, man?

00:32:52He's just so much

00:32:53more digestible.

00:32:54Oh, than Kelly?

00:32:55Visually, like,

00:32:56yeah.

00:32:56He seems sincere

00:32:59and genuine.

00:32:59Oh, I was thinking

00:33:00of like when he walks

00:33:01into a house to recruit,

00:33:03like, he can sell

00:33:04not only Notre Dame

00:33:05but himself to the parents

00:33:07and the players.

00:33:07He doesn't even need

00:33:08a sidekick to help him.

00:33:09He can go in there

00:33:10perfect, just nice.

00:33:11Yeah, and he's very

00:33:12good looking.

00:33:13I'm sure the recruits'

00:33:14moms are like,

00:33:15yeah, come on.

00:33:16You want another plate?

00:33:19I bet he smells good, too.

00:33:21He looks like a man

00:33:22that smells really good.

00:33:22I would agree with that.

00:33:24He models his own

00:33:25clothing line.

00:33:25Yeah.

00:33:26Like, he's got his own

00:33:27coaching career.

00:33:27So he knows.

00:33:28Yeah, he's a hot dude.

00:33:29He knows what he's doing.

00:33:30He's in the weight room.

00:33:30He's getting after it.

00:33:31He knows what he's doing.

00:33:32All right, then.

00:33:33You said it's a good time

00:33:34to be a Notre Dame fan.

00:33:35Is it a good time

00:33:37to be a Cowboys fan?

00:33:39This is an interesting

00:33:41question because

00:33:42the offense is incredible,

00:33:44especially Adam Pickens.

00:33:45It looks like you're damned

00:33:46if you do, damned if you don't.

00:33:48But the defense kind of

00:33:49got awful right now.

00:33:51Yeah, I mean,

00:33:51I hate, I don't, you know,

00:33:52I don't want to talk

00:33:53bad about the Cowboys,

00:33:54but objectively the defense

00:33:55is not good, right?

00:33:56I mean, just look at the stats,

00:33:57right?

00:33:57Yeah, it's not good.

00:33:58And I think you do have

00:34:00to take a step back

00:34:01and realize they did trade

00:34:03arguably the best defensive

00:34:04player a week before the season.

00:34:06Bold move.

00:34:06So let's calm down

00:34:07a little bit.

00:34:08A lot of our back end stuff,

00:34:09I mean, when the pass rush

00:34:10is humming,

00:34:11the back end becomes

00:34:12a lot easier, right?

00:34:12Yeah.

00:34:13But I did play, you know,

00:34:15I know Coach Fluse.

00:34:16I know, you know,

00:34:17Chicago guys have their feelings,

00:34:18but I do know how he coaches.

00:34:20And I think, you know,

00:34:21he's a, not necessarily plays,

00:34:23he's a how you play the game.

00:34:25And those guys on defense

00:34:27will get it humming

00:34:27and at least, you know,

00:34:29they're going to be competitive.

00:34:30They score nonstop.

00:34:31Yes.

00:34:31The offense has been

00:34:33as good an offense

00:34:33as I've seen in the league

00:34:34all year.

00:34:35Yeah, they are a classic,

00:34:37like, we talked about

00:34:38this the other day,

00:34:38you do not want to see them

00:34:40in a wild card round

00:34:41or something like that.

00:34:42Because, like,

00:34:42on any given day,

00:34:44they got that puncher's chance

00:34:45of knocking anybody

00:34:46in the league out

00:34:47because of Dak,

00:34:48because of CeeDee and Pickens.

00:34:50And when CeeDee's out,

00:34:51Dak and Pickens

00:34:51get the chemistry going,

00:34:52now he's, it's like, yes.

00:34:53And then Jake Ferguson.

00:34:55Jake Ferguson.

00:34:55I mean, it's just, it's just.

00:34:56Badger.

00:34:57Yeah, it's weapon after weapon.

00:35:01Talk to me about Dak Prescott

00:35:03because he is someone

00:35:05who should be celebrated

00:35:07and liked.

00:35:08He's overcome

00:35:09a ton of adversity.

00:35:10He was a lower round pick

00:35:11at that position especially

00:35:13that has now made it.

00:35:14He's playing out of his mind

00:35:15and yet it just seems like

00:35:17because he has a star

00:35:18on his helmet

00:35:18that he just gets hated on.

00:35:20Dude, when Cade was talking

00:35:22about Diego,

00:35:23Diego,

00:35:24like, that's what I think

00:35:26about Dak.

00:35:27Everyone in that organization,

00:35:29everyone wants to win,

00:35:30but there's a little extra

00:35:31to win for that guy.

00:35:32Just what he means

00:35:33to that organization.

00:35:35He's a leader of men.

00:35:36That's like the best compliment

00:35:37I can give him.

00:35:38Like, he is the best leader

00:35:39of men that I've ever been around

00:35:41and he's just a guy's guy.

00:35:44I mean, he's just,

00:35:44he works his ass off.

00:35:46He, you know,

00:35:47he puts more time in

00:35:48than anyone

00:35:48and he's a competitor.

00:35:51The dude's the biggest competitor

00:35:52and the other thing

00:35:53you just said,

00:35:54adversity, man.

00:35:55Like, when people talk about

00:35:56like going through adversity,

00:35:57I would say,

00:35:57you know,

00:35:58I've kind of gone through a few.

00:35:59This guy's been through

00:36:00serious adversity

00:36:01and you would never know it.

00:36:03I mean,

00:36:03smiling on his face

00:36:04every day,

00:36:04coming to work.

00:36:05A lot of guys play

00:36:07for that guy down in Dallas.

00:36:08And look,

00:36:09and now,

00:36:10I mean,

00:36:11one of the leading

00:36:12MVP candidates

00:36:13and if that defense

00:36:14does catch a little fire

00:36:15and all of a sudden

00:36:16you start winning some games,

00:36:17that could become

00:36:18a very real thing.

00:36:19They have a championship offense.

00:36:20I gotta give the O-line

00:36:22some love, man.

00:36:22They've played nine guys

00:36:25this year

00:36:26in the first seven games

00:36:27and they have not

00:36:28missed a beat.

00:36:28You know,

00:36:29Brock Hoffman,

00:36:30TJ Bass,

00:36:31these guys that have played

00:36:33over the last couple years

00:36:34that have been called upon

00:36:35again early in the season

00:36:36and they've stepped in

00:36:37and done it.

00:36:37Do they call you

00:36:38at any point?

00:36:39I talk to those guys still.

00:36:40No,

00:36:40I meant like,

00:36:41wow.

00:36:42That's why I dropped

00:36:44the weight early.

00:36:45I'm done.

00:36:46I'm done.

00:36:47But do you still

00:36:48talk to the boys?

00:36:49Oh yeah,

00:36:50absolutely.

00:36:50I was gonna ask,

00:36:51do they call you

00:36:52and be like,

00:36:52hey,

00:36:52what did you ever see

00:36:53from this guy

00:36:54if they were playing

00:36:55like a D lineman

00:36:56and they're like,

00:36:57hey,

00:36:57is there any tendencies

00:36:58that you can give me

00:36:59that you saw

00:36:59from blah,

00:37:00blah,

00:37:01blah?

00:37:01Not really,

00:37:03not a whole lot this year

00:37:05but we did a great job

00:37:06in our room.

00:37:06We would do these studies

00:37:07so like on Fridays

00:37:08we would have like,

00:37:09our meeting in the morning

00:37:10would be a player-led meeting

00:37:12so each guy,

00:37:13we would have like

00:37:14the backups

00:37:14and the practice squad guys

00:37:16would have a single guy

00:37:17to study

00:37:18and they would present

00:37:19that guy in front of the room.

00:37:20Gotcha.

00:37:20And then like,

00:37:21so if it was the three technique

00:37:22that I was matched up

00:37:23with that week,

00:37:24the guy would give

00:37:25his presentation,

00:37:26talk about it,

00:37:26we would have some dialogue,

00:37:27I'd kind of read my notes

00:37:29so everyone's kind of

00:37:29on the same page

00:37:30like,

00:37:30hey,

00:37:30this guy,

00:37:31because you know

00:37:31in the NFL nowadays

00:37:32these guys aren't lining up

00:37:34in the same spot,

00:37:35you know,

00:37:35premier rushers are moving

00:37:36and picking their guys

00:37:37so everyone kind of hears

00:37:39like,

00:37:39all right,

00:37:39if this guy,

00:37:40if this D-tackle lines up

00:37:41at end randomly,

00:37:43all right,

00:37:43these are his two or three moves

00:37:44that he likes to go to

00:37:45so a lot of dialogue

00:37:46of,

00:37:47you know,

00:37:48different players

00:37:49going on Friday morning,

00:37:50yeah.

00:37:51God,

00:37:51we'll continue to pick your brain

00:37:53for the rest of the show,

00:37:54I have a million questions

00:37:55that I still want to ask

00:37:58but we also like making money

00:38:27movement.

00:38:34She has been

00:38:35right hot this season.

00:38:37Let's go,

00:38:37Meg.

00:38:37Let's go,

00:38:38Meg.

00:38:39Money spread.

00:38:40What up,

00:38:41baby?

00:38:41Let's go.

00:38:42We back in the money corner.

00:38:45Four and four last week,

00:38:46week before,

00:38:47five and one.

00:38:48Let's go.

00:38:48So let's see if we can

00:38:50keep some things going.

00:38:51I feel like I had a couple

00:38:52bad beats last week.

00:38:54It was a tough slate

00:38:54last week.

00:38:55First up,

00:38:56I'm going back to the well.

00:38:57I'm going to take

00:38:58the Oklahoma Sooners,

00:39:00minus four and a half.

00:39:01I believe they're at

00:39:01five and a half now,

00:39:02which I still like it at.

00:39:04Ole Miss played well

00:39:05in Athens for three

00:39:06straight quarters

00:39:07and the wheels

00:39:08just kind of fell off.

00:39:09That Georgia run

00:39:10just gashed,

00:39:12just gashed

00:39:13Ole Miss' run defense.

00:39:15Mateer needed a good

00:39:16bounce back.

00:39:16He had it.

00:39:18I'm going to,

00:39:18I think they're back

00:39:18right where they were

00:39:19pre-injury.

00:39:20I like Oklahoma here.

00:39:21It's a crazy line.

00:39:23I mean,

00:39:23this thing is,

00:39:24like Sue pointed out,

00:39:25like,

00:39:25I mean,

00:39:26here you have

00:39:26Ole Miss as the

00:39:27higher-ranked team.

00:39:28They've kind of been

00:39:28thought it was a better

00:39:28team all year,

00:39:29and Oklahoma's now

00:39:30up to five and a half

00:39:31point favorites.

00:39:32I'm with you,

00:39:33Meg.

00:39:33All right,

00:39:34up next,

00:39:35a team I have not

00:39:36yet played this year

00:39:37just because I felt

00:39:38like I was being

00:39:38sold every week

00:39:40by Jake Malisak,

00:39:41but I'm going to go

00:39:42with Virginia,

00:39:43minus the ten and a half.

00:39:45This is just a tale

00:39:45of two teams

00:39:46headed in opposite

00:39:47directions.

00:39:48UNC will not be able

00:39:49to keep pace

00:39:50with Virginia.

00:39:52Not just that,

00:39:52but the Virginia win

00:39:53over Louisville

00:39:54looks even better now

00:39:55as Louisville went

00:39:56down to Miami

00:39:57and took over

00:39:58at the U.

00:39:59Not to mention

00:40:00a little extra

00:40:00narrative here.

00:40:02What coach in their

00:40:03right mind right now

00:40:04wouldn't want to get

00:40:05a win over Bill Belichick?

00:40:06Just think about it.

00:40:08Even if he's in college,

00:40:09you can still say,

00:40:09hey,

00:40:10I got a win over Bill.

00:40:11I beat Bill.

00:40:12That's what Jordan says.

00:40:13I beat Bill.

00:40:14Up next,

00:40:15I wanted to play this

00:40:16last week

00:40:17at 22 and a half.

00:40:18Didn't put it on the card

00:40:19because the card

00:40:20was a little large,

00:40:21but I like SMU.

00:40:22Team total

00:40:23over 28 and a half.

00:40:25They're headed

00:40:25to Wake Forest.

00:40:27They've cleared

00:40:28this number

00:40:28in every game

00:40:29but two this season.

00:40:30The first one

00:40:31was against TCU.

00:40:32They put up 24,

00:40:33which good defense,

00:40:34and then they had

00:40:34a weird one

00:40:35against Missouri State

00:40:36where they won by 28,

00:40:38but I love SMU here.

00:40:40They're continuing

00:40:40to put up a ton of points.

00:40:41What's going on

00:40:42with SMU?

00:40:42I haven't thought

00:40:42about them at all

00:40:43this year.

00:40:45Jennings has just

00:40:45been crazy.

00:40:46The offense

00:40:47has been clicking.

00:40:48Okay.

00:40:49Yeah, man,

00:40:49that's a name

00:40:50I haven't thought

00:40:51of in a long time.

00:40:52Yes, sir.

00:40:53Up next,

00:40:54I should have kept

00:40:54on rolling

00:40:55with the tie

00:40:56last week, baby,

00:40:57but I didn't,

00:40:58but I'm back

00:40:59on them this week.

00:40:59You disgust me.

00:41:00I get it.

00:41:01Hey, money's money.

00:41:02Mine is 11 and a half

00:41:04at South Carolina.

00:41:05They finally

00:41:06have found

00:41:06their footing

00:41:07after they dropped

00:41:08that first one

00:41:09to Florida State.

00:41:10They have just

00:41:11been improving

00:41:11week by week.

00:41:12Todd Simpson

00:41:13looks elite,

00:41:15and if he continues

00:41:16to play the way

00:41:16he's been playing,

00:41:18South Carolina

00:41:18could be in

00:41:20for a very

00:41:20long day there.

00:41:22It's falling apart

00:41:23at South Carolina.

00:41:24It's falling apart.

00:41:24Falling apart.

00:41:25I got a fun one

00:41:26up next.

00:41:27Okay, what do we got?

00:41:28Minnesota, Iowa.

00:41:29You got a spread

00:41:29up to nine and a half,

00:41:31and I think the total

00:41:31is 38 and a half, okay?

00:41:33Don't love a large spread

00:41:34with a low total,

00:41:35but I do think

00:41:36Iowa wins with ease,

00:41:37and in that logic,

00:41:38I think my guy,

00:41:40Grinowski.

00:41:42Yeah, nailed it.

00:41:43Nailed it.

00:41:44Let's go, girl.

00:41:45So he scored a rushing

00:41:46touchdown in every game

00:41:47this season,

00:41:48except in two games,

00:41:50one against Penn State.

00:41:51He scored two rushing

00:41:52touchdowns,

00:41:53and then against

00:41:53Rutgers,

00:41:54he did score three.

00:41:55So two plus touchdowns

00:41:56at plus 320

00:41:58for my guy in Iowa.

00:42:00I like that one.

00:42:01Plus 320, that's so fun.

00:42:02You like that?

00:42:03You see a little extra money

00:42:04and you guys like it?

00:42:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:42:05That's fun boy.

00:42:06Up next,

00:42:07my guy Dana's not here.

00:42:08But I'm going to go

00:42:09with his Cincinnati

00:42:10Bearcats at home.

00:42:12Mine is a three and a half.

00:42:14Baylor just got

00:42:14whooped on last week,

00:42:16and guess what?

00:42:16They haven't been covering.

00:42:17One in six ATS,

00:42:19matter of fact.

00:42:20Now they're on the road,

00:42:21as I said,

00:42:21with a red-hot Bearcats team

00:42:23who is tied with BYU

00:42:24atop the Big 12 standings.

00:42:27They can't get caught

00:42:28slipping here.

00:42:29They got Utah,

00:42:30Arizona,

00:42:30and BYU on deck.

00:42:32Give me the Bearcats

00:42:33at home,

00:42:33and shout out Dana,

00:42:34make that field goal.

00:42:35Yes, that's exactly

00:42:36what I was going to ask.

00:42:37Oh yeah,

00:42:37Damon's got a pick.

00:42:38Yeah, he's got a kick.

00:42:3930 yarders.

00:42:40The last one he had,

00:42:41he had an opportunity

00:42:41a couple years ago.

00:42:43Like halftime kick.

00:42:45Wait, we have practice

00:42:45footage of Dana?

00:42:46Okay, while we're here,

00:42:47we might as well dive into this.

00:42:48He's going with a straight boot.

00:42:49This ain't, this ain't,

00:42:50toe bash.

00:42:51That is,

00:42:52I don't like that.

00:42:52I don't have to.

00:42:53It's way better than his first time.

00:42:54Yeah, the first one went

00:42:55on the ground 30 feet.

00:42:57I know,

00:42:57but you got to show

00:42:58a little athleticism though,

00:43:00guys.

00:43:00Looks like he also hasn't

00:43:01taken his two steps

00:43:02to the left.

00:43:02He went three back

00:43:03but didn't go two to the left.

00:43:06He's going like a robot,

00:43:08like a Japanese kicking robot.

00:43:09This is way,

00:43:10if you miss doing it this way,

00:43:11that's way more embarrassing.

00:43:12Absolutely.

00:43:13You look like an athlete

00:43:14and pull it,

00:43:15who cares,

00:43:15but you can't just.

00:43:16Yeah, that's a good point.

00:43:17No, you got to train soccer style.

00:43:18He's going to be in the full

00:43:19Skyline Chili suit.

00:43:21You know,

00:43:21he's going to be ready to go.

00:43:23Him and him.

00:43:23All right,

00:43:23last two real quick.

00:43:25Last two.

00:43:26I'm going to go ahead

00:43:27and roll with the fighting

00:43:29Brandon Walkers.

00:43:30Mississippi State

00:43:30plus the seven

00:43:31at home against Texas.

00:43:33Yes,

00:43:34State did lose last week,

00:43:35but they controlled

00:43:35that game for 60 minutes.

00:43:37Took a little last minute

00:43:38interception for Florida

00:43:40to get the job done.

00:43:41And meanwhile,

00:43:42Texas was lucky

00:43:43to escape Lexington

00:43:44with a win.

00:43:45They were averaging

00:43:453.3 yards per play.

00:43:48Mississippi State

00:43:49has played really well

00:43:50at home.

00:43:50They have enough

00:43:51defensive grit

00:43:51and enough offensive

00:43:52firepower to keep them

00:43:54in this game.

00:43:54If State goes up quickly,

00:43:56I smell a Bevo burger

00:43:57in the making.

00:43:58I agree.

00:43:59There you go.

00:44:00That's the money corner.

00:44:01Megan getting you right

00:44:01for this weekend.

00:44:05and it's time to go

00:44:09We're going to break down

00:44:10some film with Zach Martin

00:44:11coming up next.

00:44:12Big noon kickoff.

00:44:13Well, that's not coming up.

00:44:14You get what I'm saying.

00:44:15We're going to break down

00:44:16UCLA and Indiana film

00:44:17because that's

00:44:18big noon kickoff.

00:44:19And this is FS1.

00:44:49an awesome game.

00:44:50I'm excited for this

00:44:52World Series.

00:44:52Do we do?

00:44:53Everybody's on Blue Jays,

00:44:54right?

00:44:54I think so.

00:44:55We just don't want to

00:44:56enjoy watching the Dodgers

00:44:57win or play.

00:44:58Play.

00:44:58I think.

00:44:59Yeah.

00:44:59The Dodgers are a weird

00:45:01mixture of like

00:45:03the actual individuals

00:45:05are likable.

00:45:06Yeah.

00:45:06But it's not likable

00:45:08how they've done it.

00:45:09Yeah.

00:45:09Right?

00:45:09I mean,

00:45:10just like outspin

00:45:11everyone,

00:45:11whatever.

00:45:12But,

00:45:12but,

00:45:13but,

00:45:13well,

00:45:13yes,

00:45:14in a winning sense,

00:45:15but it's worse

00:45:17for the Dodgers

00:45:17because literally

00:45:18they just spent

00:45:18more money.

00:45:19Yeah.

00:45:19Like you have a

00:45:20salary cap in the NFL.

00:45:21Like they just

00:45:22bought their way

00:45:22to this.

00:45:23And then,

00:45:23yeah,

00:45:23the Blue Jays

00:45:24are kind of a little

00:45:25more lovable,

00:45:25but it is weird

00:45:26to cheer for Canada.

00:45:27I know.

00:45:29Over America.

00:45:30You were only on teams

00:45:32that were universally hated.

00:45:34Yeah.

00:45:34I was going to bring that up.

00:45:38I wasn't going to say anything.

00:45:39Big Cat said yesterday

00:45:40it was like you played

00:45:40another name in Dallas

00:45:42and I don't feel

00:45:42to be a douchebag.

00:45:46It's,

00:45:46yeah,

00:45:48I think,

00:45:49Meg,

00:45:49you actually,

00:45:50I mean not actually,

00:45:51I don't know why

00:45:51I said it like that.

00:45:52You know more baseball

00:45:52than anybody in this room

00:45:53right now.

00:45:54What's your,

00:45:54what's your,

00:45:56what's your read

00:45:56on the series?

00:45:57I mean,

00:45:59I think as everyone said,

00:46:00like I think the Dodgers

00:46:01have a pretty clear path.

00:46:03Starting pitching

00:46:04just crazy.

00:46:04Yeah.

00:46:05I mean,

00:46:05I would like to see

00:46:06the Blue Jays get it done,

00:46:07but also they're in my division

00:46:09with the Astros,

00:46:10so I don't know,

00:46:11you know.

00:46:12Something that,

00:46:13okay,

00:46:13let me,

00:46:13yeah.

00:46:14Something that Ryan Dempster

00:46:15pointed out that I never knew

00:46:16that has kind of blown my mind

00:46:18is Blue Jays viewership

00:46:20smashes every other,

00:46:23every other MLB team.

00:46:25Why,

00:46:25because they have all of Canada?

00:46:26Yes,

00:46:27apparently all,

00:46:27they average over a million viewers

00:46:29per game,

00:46:30regular season.

00:46:31Wow.

00:46:32Nobody,

00:46:32I would be interested

00:46:33to see if we looked at,

00:46:34if we factored in Japan

00:46:35when it comes to the Dodgers,

00:46:37like maybe,

00:46:37maybe,

00:46:38maybe they would beat them,

00:46:40but,

00:46:41but I know that like,

00:46:42I guess I bring this all up

00:46:43just to say like,

00:46:44man,

00:46:44you know,

00:46:45I'd be happy for the Blue Jays fans.

00:46:47Yeah.

00:46:47The back then for the first time

00:46:48since 93.

00:46:49I would love to see George Springer

00:46:50win a World Series.

00:46:52I love George Springer.

00:46:52Didn't he already win one?

00:46:53Yeah.

00:46:53Well,

00:46:53yes,

00:46:54but,

00:46:54but she's a massive Astros fan.

00:46:57Fair.

00:46:57So she loves George Springer.

00:46:58Oh,

00:46:58when they were cheating and stuff.

00:47:00Yeah,

00:47:00right.

00:47:00Yeah,

00:47:01yeah,

00:47:01yeah.

00:47:05Everyone's been cheating for forever.

00:47:07Baseball is a cheater sport.

00:47:08It's if you get caught.

00:52:27could you do in a sitting?

00:52:28This is insulting.

00:52:29How many in a sitting?

00:52:31Maybe triple digits?

00:52:32I mean,

00:52:32if that plate comes out

00:52:33around,

00:52:44self-control problems with

00:52:45if there's a plate.

00:52:48number one in the world

00:52:49for me.

00:52:49I just have to keep

00:52:50eating them.

00:52:51It's like they come over

00:52:51the plate of hors d'oeuvres

00:52:52and you just grab

00:52:52the whole plate.

00:52:57What's the,

00:52:59dip your pigs

00:53:03if I was going

00:53:03to be ashamed for that.

00:53:04I have a good,

00:53:05kind of,

00:53:06you know,

00:53:07the plate story,

00:53:08you know,

00:53:08when they go,

00:53:09like your...

00:53:10Hors d'oeuvres?

00:53:10Yeah, yeah.

00:53:12What's that

00:53:12for food again?

00:53:13So we were at,

00:53:14it was actually here

00:53:15in Chicago,

00:53:16we were at

00:53:17Jack McCarthy's pool

00:53:18and they were doing

00:53:20some event

00:53:21and their hors d'oeuvres

00:53:22guy were coming around.

00:53:24We actually paid,

00:53:25I actually paid him

00:53:2520 bucks

00:53:26to just come to us

00:53:27first every single time.

00:53:29That's a great move.

00:53:30So he would come to us

00:53:31every time,

00:53:31we'd have first pick

00:53:32at whatever

00:53:33and then we'd usually

00:53:33just send him

00:53:34right back.

00:53:36The dude's like,

00:53:37sorry man,

00:53:38that pie is bitter.

00:53:39Oh man,

00:53:40okay,

00:53:42let's,

00:53:43okay,

00:53:43what about this?

00:53:44If you're at a wedding,

00:53:46that was at a pool party

00:53:47sometime,

00:53:47right?

00:53:48Pool parties pretty

00:53:49aggressive to eat

00:53:49that many hors d'oeuvres,

00:53:50right?

00:53:51I normally want to say

00:53:51light in my face.

00:53:52You were crushing.

00:53:54If you're at a wedding,

00:53:56what do you do

00:53:57when,

00:53:57or how many hors d'oeuvres

00:53:59are you eating?

00:53:59What are you doing

00:54:00with it when you're done?

00:54:01That's what I never,

00:54:02I end up with like

00:54:0318 napkins

00:54:04in my back pocket

00:54:05all the time.

00:54:05Almost never.

00:54:06I feel like there's

00:54:07a high spill ratio,

00:54:08you're looking good,

00:54:09you're in your suit,

00:54:10I'm always just like,

00:54:10just keep the cocktails

00:54:11coming,

00:54:12I'll catch you at dinner.

00:54:13I'm with you,

00:54:14I don't like eating

00:54:15at weddings at all,

00:54:16I gotta stay light

00:54:16on my feet for the dance floor.

00:54:18To be fair.

00:54:18You're saying the hors d'oeuvres

00:54:18are better than the main course.

00:54:20Yes,

00:54:20that is fair.

00:54:21I kind of hammered it.

00:54:22But I feel like it's also

00:54:22how close you are

00:54:23with the people

00:54:24that are getting married

00:54:25as well.

00:54:25Like you're not,

00:54:26if you go to a wedding

00:54:27like as a plus one,

00:54:28you're not gonna be

00:54:29hammering hors d'oeuvres,

00:54:30you know,

00:54:30because you don't want to...

00:54:31I kind of think the opposite.

00:54:32I'm like,

00:54:32I'm never gonna see you

00:54:33at all again.

00:54:33That's your time to shine.

00:54:35You don't know anybody.

00:54:36I'm not a big wedding guy yet,

00:54:38so I haven't...

00:54:39Oh, that's right,

00:54:39you haven't gone through.

00:54:41Yeah.

00:54:41I'm only 24.

00:54:43I feel like in the South,

00:54:44though,

00:54:44we don't have as many

00:54:45sit-down weddings.

00:54:46No, they do buffets.

00:54:48Yeah, it's more like

00:54:48buffet style.

00:54:49Yeah, you feed your own pace.

00:54:50Yeah, we do tacos

00:54:50at our wedding.

00:54:52Yeah, you feed at your own pace.

00:54:53You graze,

00:54:54the dance floor starts,

00:54:55I wait...

00:54:56Live bands.

00:54:57Yeah, I don't need anything,

00:54:58and then I wait until

00:54:59you're hammered

00:55:01and they're shutting it down

00:55:02and they have the leftover

00:55:03buffet food

00:55:04and they're just giving you trays.

00:55:06Or the new thing.

00:55:06And that's when we finally eat.

00:55:07The new thing for weddings

00:55:08is the late night snacks.

00:55:10Late night pizzas,

00:55:11sliders.

00:55:12Yeah.

00:55:12Oh, really?

00:55:13Yeah, they call that.

00:55:13They put it into the schedule.

00:55:15When the music ends,

00:55:16on your way out,

00:55:17we'll have...

00:55:17Oh, hell yeah.

00:55:19There's also people

00:55:20that get Waffle House

00:55:21trucks to come

00:55:22and Cane's trucks

00:55:24to cater.

00:55:25They'll have a whole

00:55:26outside venue

00:55:27that's different

00:55:28from the inside

00:55:29so that people can

00:55:29have late night meals

00:55:30and cool stuff like that.

00:55:31That's definitely

00:55:31new wedding stuff.

00:55:32Have you ever seen

00:55:34the Macaulay Culkin

00:55:35Richie Rich movie?

00:55:36Yeah.

00:55:37Yeah.

00:55:37Remember?

00:55:37Yeah.

00:55:38In the McDonald's

00:55:39basement, dude?

00:55:40I used to always dream

00:55:41about having

00:55:41a Waffle House

00:55:42in my basement.

00:55:43That was...

00:55:44How do you know

00:55:45you made it?

00:55:46Waffle House.

00:55:46Yeah, exactly.

00:55:47Well, now I've kind of realized

00:55:49it's just a cast iron grill.

00:55:52I don't need the...

00:55:54I got a black zone.

00:55:55I have it.

00:55:55I accomplished my dreams.

00:55:56I mean, the ambiance can't be beat.

00:55:57That's true.

00:55:58No, that's true.

00:55:59I need some old, like,

00:56:00the smell of old cigarettes.

00:56:02Yeah.

00:56:03The tension that a fight

00:56:04might break out.

00:56:05Someone just hammered

00:56:06and passed out

00:56:07in the booth behind you.

00:56:08What, uh...

00:56:09Okay, what's our

00:56:09final couple smash

00:56:10or pass here?

00:56:11Let's see.

00:56:12What do you got?

00:56:13Uh, clam chowder?

00:56:14Smash.

00:56:15I'm passing.

00:56:16Whoa!

00:56:17Yeah.

00:56:18Well, no, we got offended.

00:56:19I...

00:56:20What?

00:56:20What is wrong with you?

00:56:21I'm not a big clam girl.

00:56:23I also don't like

00:56:24oysters, like, stew or chowder.

00:56:26I'm not...

00:56:26I don't like the way that, like...

00:56:28It's cooked, though.

00:56:29I know, but I don't like

00:56:29the way that cooked ones, like,

00:56:31taste in, like...

00:56:32It's, like, too rubbery.

00:56:33I'll eat raw oysters

00:56:34and, like, all day long, but...

00:56:36Do you like charbroiled oysters?

00:56:37Yeah.

00:56:37I just don't, like...

00:56:38But you still have a little bit, like...

00:56:40Do they feel, like, rubbery or something?

00:56:41Yeah, maybe...

00:56:42Or in a clam chowder...

00:56:43The taste is good,

00:56:44but the texture is not for me.

00:56:46That's fair.

00:56:46I think I understand what you're saying.

00:56:48In a clam chowder, though,

00:56:48is that...

00:56:49Potatoes?

00:56:50Boiled?

00:56:50No, I'm saying, are the clams...

00:56:53I guess I need to boil

00:56:54or steam, technically.

00:56:55Yeah, they're just cooking the pot.

00:56:57Yeah.

00:56:58Yeah.

00:56:58But, I mean, that would maybe

00:56:59lend itself to maybe a bit

00:57:01of the texture.

00:57:01Yeah.

00:57:02Disconnect that Megan's having here.

00:57:02You gotta go low and slow.

00:57:04Maybe we just gotta get you

00:57:05the right clam chowder.

00:57:05Maybe.

00:57:06Yeah.

00:57:06I just, yeah, I don't like

00:57:10to each their own.

00:57:11More for us.

00:57:14Clam?

00:57:15The New England clam chowder,

00:57:16100%.

00:57:16The Manhattan clam chowder,

00:57:17I'm not a fan.

00:57:18Agreed.

00:57:19Yeah, the challenge for production

00:58:01here on FS1.

00:58:02As we said,

00:58:04we put out the fat signal.

00:58:05We asked you for questions

00:58:06from the big boys

00:58:07for the big boys.

00:58:08Also,

00:58:09you all should check out

00:58:10the big boys club.

00:58:11If you want to join the BBC,

00:58:12we just dropped merch yesterday.

00:58:15Great shirts.

00:58:16Mikey,

00:58:16Dana,

00:58:17Ella,

00:58:17brand new podcast.

00:58:18It is incredibly stupid.

00:58:21And Ella.

00:58:21But it's so,

00:58:22it's very relatable.

00:58:23It's very fun.

00:58:24It's very fun.

00:58:25My poor mother,

00:58:26I had a whole soliloquy

00:58:26about my love of grinding,

00:58:29and I woke up this morning,

00:58:30and I looked at my Instagram DMs,

00:58:33and it was a broken heart emoji.

00:58:34And then it said,

00:58:36your mother and your grandmother

00:58:38see this.

00:58:39And I was just like,

00:58:40oh, mom.

00:58:41I don't know.

00:58:42Mom,

00:58:42I know you want to.

00:58:43I love you.

00:58:43I'm very sorry.

00:58:44We can talk about it later.

00:58:45Love you, mom.

00:58:45I don't want to have to block you.

00:58:47I don't know.

00:58:47We'll figure it out.

00:58:47Way to say it twice.

00:58:50We'll figure it out.

00:58:51We'll figure it out.

00:58:52All right.

00:58:53Let's get our first question out.

00:58:54We don't know what these questions are,

00:58:55so we will be reacting

00:58:56to these live.

00:58:58Okay,

00:58:58this is from our very own Ken Jack.

00:59:03Would it be better

00:59:04to have elite tackles

00:59:06and bad interior offensive linemen

00:59:08or elite interior offensive linemen

00:59:11and bad tackles?

00:59:12Why don't we start with you?

00:59:13We got to go with you.

00:59:14This is a good question.

00:59:15This is a really good question.

00:59:16Ken Jack's fired up

00:59:17because he just said that.

00:59:18Good question, Ken Jack.

00:59:19I would say

00:59:20it's better to have,

00:59:23you want to have strength inside

00:59:24so the quarterback can step up.

00:59:26A lot of quarterbacks will say,

00:59:27hey, tackles, run them by.

00:59:29I can step up

00:59:30and I can miss.

00:59:31So I think interior offensive line,

00:59:33you want to be stout there

00:59:34because the quarterbacks,

00:59:35you get a guy

00:59:36running up in their face.

00:59:37Wow.

00:59:37Don't you get more help, though,

00:59:39on the interior?

00:59:41You definitely have more help.

00:59:42That's not what I'm saying,

00:59:43but you got more space

00:59:43to tackle to kind of

00:59:44to push them by.

00:59:45The quarterback can feel the rush,

00:59:47step up,

00:59:48run out the lane.

00:59:48I actually thought

00:59:49you were going to see the offense.

00:59:49And the way that falls apart

00:59:51is like, yeah,

00:59:52if you can't step up,

00:59:54then it tackles.

00:59:55Everything's harder.

00:59:56The quarterback can't see.

00:59:57Anything.

00:59:58Like with Drew Brees,

00:59:59he had to have better

01:00:00interior offensive linemen

01:00:01than tackles.

01:00:02Otherwise, he'd be blinded.

01:00:05I do.

01:00:06But I feel like

01:00:07in nowadays,

01:00:09the elite rushers

01:00:10are the edge rushers.

01:00:12Yeah, always.

01:00:12Yeah, for sure.

01:00:13So I mean,

01:00:13if you have a Micah Parsons,

01:00:15you know,

01:00:15going up against a bad tackle,

01:00:18that's kind of just,

01:00:18I don't know.

01:00:19I do agree.

01:00:20But I also,

01:00:21if you look at it,

01:00:22a lot of teams,

01:00:24like there's,

01:00:24you know,

01:00:24Miles Garrett,

01:00:25mostly he's going to stay there

01:00:26in the end.

01:00:27But a lot of these teams,

01:00:28like when we had Micah in Dallas,

01:00:29he's coming inside on third night.

01:00:30That's so hard.

01:00:31You know what I mean?

01:00:32That's true.

01:00:32Yeah, put him on the three tag.

01:00:33Oh, yeah.

01:00:34Find your slide,

01:00:36try to get a 5-0 call,

01:00:37get everyone manned up,

01:00:37go inside,

01:00:38and the worst athlete.

01:00:39Dude,

01:00:40that is terrifying

01:00:41to be a guard

01:00:43and then suddenly

01:00:44have Micah Parsons

01:00:45lined up over here.

01:00:46Yeah,

01:00:46more teams are doing it.

01:00:47All these ends,

01:00:48I remember my first year,

01:00:49we were playing New York

01:00:50and JPP was like roll.

01:00:52Yeah.

01:00:52It was like Tyron,

01:00:53Tyron was going against JPP,

01:00:55it was the big matchup all week

01:00:56and then like the first third down,

01:00:57he was lined up on me.

01:00:57I'm like,

01:00:58whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:00:59Dude,

01:00:59the old man,

01:01:00the old man.

01:01:01The media isn't highlighting

01:01:03our bad job.

01:01:05That was a great question

01:01:06and some incredible insight

01:01:07from Zagher

01:01:08because I agree,

01:01:08I thought it'd be the opposite.

01:01:10All right,

01:01:10what do we got next, guys?

01:01:11Next question here.

01:01:11This comes from Matt Hudak.

01:01:15What's the one nasty trick

01:01:16you use in the trenches

01:01:17that the ref never catches

01:01:18but the defender feels

01:01:20for the next three plays?

01:01:21Oh,

01:01:21I like that question.

01:01:23I think

01:01:23they were talking,

01:01:25Matt was talking about

01:01:26how on screenplays,

01:01:28you know,

01:01:28the club.

01:01:29Yeah.

01:01:29He was talking about that

01:01:30and like how

01:01:31sometimes you get them

01:01:32on the head

01:01:32a little bit of the neck

01:01:33and the refs,

01:01:35I think in college,

01:01:36they've been,

01:01:37what's the word,

01:01:39cracking down on it more

01:01:40like you can't just

01:01:41absolutely club them

01:01:42but I feel like

01:01:44you've had your first year.

01:01:45I would say the jumpers,

01:01:46right?

01:01:47You get these D tackles,

01:01:48D linemen that jump up.

01:01:49Oh,

01:01:49and you just baptize them.

01:01:51You get a little shot on them.

01:01:51You can hold down them.

01:01:52You get a little shot

01:01:52in their sternum,

01:01:54go out for a few plays

01:01:55so anytime you see a jumper,

01:01:56it's like a freshman

01:01:57or like a naked.

01:01:58Yeah.

01:01:59It's like,

01:02:00it's the best play

01:02:00for Robbins Lyman.

01:02:01Oh,

01:02:01then you can sprint out.

01:02:02You got nothing yet.

01:02:03You got no responsibility.

01:02:04I don't care what anyone else

01:02:05is doing.

01:02:05I'm going to tattoo this guy.

01:02:07I used to love

01:02:08just kind of being

01:02:10generally dirty,

01:02:11right?

01:02:12Getting as many

01:02:13kind of diving on guys

01:02:15at the end,

01:02:15getting up off the...

01:02:16Under piles?

01:02:17Yeah.

01:02:18Yeah,

01:02:18yeah,

01:02:18getting in shots

01:02:19under piles.

01:02:20When the guys

01:02:21who can do it well,

01:02:22it's like part of their game.

01:02:23Like Ryan Jensen.

01:02:24You guys remember Ryan Jensen?

01:02:25Yes.

01:02:25He was the center

01:02:26for the Bucs.

01:02:26Yep.

01:02:27Like so much of his game

01:02:28was just messing with guys

01:02:29the entire game.

01:02:30You know,

01:02:30giving them an extra shove,

01:02:31get them on the ground,

01:02:32give them a forearm

01:02:33and it gets guys

01:02:34out of their game.

01:02:34So some guys use it

01:02:35as part of how they play.

01:02:37We used to do a competition

01:02:38where if you got,

01:02:40you know,

01:02:41if it got on the TV camera

01:02:42without getting a penalty,

01:02:44you got a point.

01:02:44Yeah.

01:02:45That's not bad.

01:02:46Also,

01:02:46like we saw earlier

01:02:47where you do it on the TV.

01:02:48Bounty gate all over again.

01:02:49Where you're holding

01:02:52and you see the in

01:02:53coming around,

01:02:54you're just going to go

01:02:54head in.

01:02:56All right.

01:02:56What do we got next?

01:02:58This comes from Sean McNeely.

01:03:01What percentage of sacks

01:03:02are the QB's fault,

01:03:03whether it be

01:03:03the wrong protection call,

01:03:04holding the ball,

01:03:05or running into a sack?

01:03:07I mean, it's...

01:03:08I mean...

01:03:08It's a lot of coverage, too.

01:03:10Yeah.

01:03:10Yeah, it's hard to give

01:03:11like a strict answer.

01:03:12Yeah, I think it's pretty...

01:03:13When it's on the O-line,

01:03:14it's pretty straightforward,

01:03:15but there also...

01:03:16I said this yesterday.

01:03:16We were talking about this

01:03:17kind of exact question.

01:03:18And there is more times

01:03:20that I think people

01:03:21don't realize

01:03:21that it's breaking down

01:03:23in the route concepts, right?

01:03:25Like maybe someone

01:03:26runs the wrong route or that.

01:03:27So that's also

01:03:28where the quarterback's

01:03:29got to hold onto the ball

01:03:30and then he gets sacked.

01:03:31So it's really...

01:03:32Protection is all 11 guys, right?

01:03:34Yeah.

01:03:34The receiver's got to

01:03:35get into their routes,

01:03:36break out of their routes fast

01:03:37because the ball's got to

01:03:38come out on time.

01:03:38So sacks, really...

01:03:40Unless you're getting beat

01:03:41right away,

01:03:41and that's obvious

01:03:42when you're watching the game,

01:03:43that's on the right guard.

01:03:43That's the O-line.

01:03:44But when it's a sack

01:03:47three, four, five seconds,

01:03:48it's everyone

01:03:49working together.

01:03:50Well, and it's like

01:03:51you talk about the Cowboys

01:03:52earlier.

01:03:52Like you lose Parsons,

01:03:53you lose pass rush.

01:03:54Like, knock on...

01:03:55It's a symbiotic relationship

01:03:57between coverage

01:03:57and pass rush, right?

01:03:59Everything speeds up.

01:04:00So when you lose one,

01:04:00you lose the other.

01:04:01It's 11-on-11.

01:04:02What do we got next?

01:04:04Oh, swept the wrong rate.

01:04:06Gino.

01:04:06Our own Gino.

01:04:08Shout out to all the Gino heads.

01:04:09Gino had a birthday this week.

01:04:10How many calories

01:04:11were we looking to consume

01:04:13on average?

01:04:14Did it differ from

01:04:14preseason game day

01:04:15slash bye week?

01:04:16Interested?

01:04:17No difference per team

01:04:18slash coach.

01:04:19What were we going to do?

01:04:20Meals, snacks,

01:04:21and whatnot

01:04:22to keep weight on.

01:04:23Yeah, because you've already

01:04:24lost all the weight.

01:04:25I love eating, dude.

01:04:27You want to take this one?

01:04:28No, we can split it up.

01:04:30We can split it up,

01:04:31but I feel like

01:04:33in season,

01:04:34you can eat so much more.

01:04:35Yeah.

01:04:35And it's...

01:04:36You can eat...

01:04:37Because I'm losing,

01:04:37you know,

01:04:38eight pounds of practice.

01:04:39Yeah.

01:04:39Especially early in the season.

01:04:41So, I mean,

01:04:42I'm eating everything

01:04:43under the sun, dude.

01:04:45Like, I'm talking

01:04:46two burritos

01:04:47from Chipotle

01:04:48or something like...

01:04:48Things like that.

01:04:50But I just love eating, dude.

01:04:51It's the best.

01:04:52Now, do they tell you

01:04:53what to eat?

01:04:54How big were each

01:04:55three of you guys

01:04:56at your largest size?

01:04:57Oh, right here.

01:04:58Oh, God.

01:04:58No, I was 335 freshman year.

01:05:01335.

01:05:01It was at the bowl game, dude.

01:05:03Fat ass.

01:05:04We were eating everything.

01:05:05What about you, T?

01:05:06You were pretty big.

01:05:07322 is the biggest

01:05:08I've ever seen.

01:05:09322.

01:05:10The most I ever weighed in on...

01:05:11Like 260.

01:05:12Oh, wow.

01:05:12I was trying to bulk up

01:05:14for guard

01:05:14and I got up to 318.

01:05:16But like 300

01:05:17was probably my ideal.

01:05:18310 was my...

01:05:19It was horrible weight, too.

01:05:20I was disgusted.

01:05:22And then I kind of

01:05:23leaned out a little bit,

01:05:24but...

01:05:24That's how I was.

01:05:25I feel like there's a lot

01:05:25of shakes you can make.

01:05:27Wait, so here's what I'm going

01:05:28to ask you because

01:05:28when you're in the NFL

01:05:30for as long as you were,

01:05:31that's when your body

01:05:32just becomes almost

01:05:33like a science,

01:05:34I feel like.

01:05:34Yeah.

01:05:34Like in college, yeah.

01:05:35You know, we just eat

01:05:36like anything we wanted,

01:05:37whatever.

01:05:38So how did that kind of evolve?

01:05:39Oh, I agree with Kadic here.

01:05:42Off season,

01:05:43like I was on it

01:05:44because if I wasn't,

01:05:45I'd start gaining some weight

01:05:46and you got a lot more time

01:05:48and you're training

01:05:50with the team

01:05:51in the morning,

01:05:51you're running

01:05:52and all that.

01:05:52Once the season starts,

01:05:54it's like get as much food

01:05:55as you can use as possible.

01:05:56Hell yeah.

01:05:56You're just losing weight.

01:05:57You're losing so much weight.

01:05:58You're lifting,

01:05:59you're running,

01:05:59you're practicing,

01:06:00you're just on your feet

01:06:01all day,

01:06:02so you're constantly

01:06:02burning calories.

01:06:03So season,

01:06:04it was almost like

01:06:05a free-for-all, honestly.

01:06:06Just like get calories in it

01:06:08so I didn't drop weight

01:06:09because I dropped 10 pounds

01:06:10in three weeks.

01:06:12Was it ever a chore?

01:06:13Oh, yeah, absolutely.

01:06:14I know a lot of guys

01:06:15that for like a little hack

01:06:17is they drink olive oil.

01:06:19What?

01:06:20So many calories.

01:06:21Yeah, or like drizzle it

01:06:22over like every meal.

01:06:23Some guys would just

01:06:24take shots of olive oil

01:06:26to just like get calories in

01:06:27and like before weigh-ins

01:06:29or something like that,

01:06:30they would just do that

01:06:31and it just sits.

01:06:32All right, let's see

01:06:33if I can do this.

01:06:33All right, next question.

01:06:34Dang it.

01:06:34I'm missing again.

01:06:35All right.

01:06:36This comes from James,

01:06:38James Geep.

01:06:39When is it clear

01:06:40you are overmatched

01:06:41early in a game?

01:06:43How bad is having to play out

01:06:45the course of a game?

01:06:48I, it's a...

01:06:49It's a, it's a, it's a...

01:06:51That's a nine-time life pro.

01:06:53Something like Aaron,

01:06:54someone like Aaron Donald.

01:06:55Yeah, well like, okay,

01:06:56for example,

01:06:57we're going,

01:06:57we're playing the Rams,

01:06:58Aaron Donald.

01:07:00All week,

01:07:00we're not blocking

01:07:01this guy one-on-one.

01:07:02I don't care who you are.

01:07:03We're not putting one guy.

01:07:03We're not being stupid.

01:07:04Let's put two on.

01:07:05So there's definitely

01:07:06an aspect of like

01:07:07up at the line

01:07:08and you get the slide

01:07:08and you're like,

01:07:09hey, you know,

01:07:09hey, come on.

01:07:10Like 99, 99,

01:07:1199's over here, you know?

01:07:13So there definitely

01:07:14is some of that

01:07:15when you're playing

01:07:16an elite guy.

01:07:17Yeah.

01:07:17If you're out there

01:07:18and you have a rough

01:07:20start to the game,

01:07:21I mean, I guess

01:07:21just on the sideline,

01:07:22hey, like center,

01:07:23hey, I may need

01:07:24a little body pressure

01:07:25when you're sliding left.

01:07:26I need a little chicken wing.

01:07:28What about when like

01:07:28your team is overmatched?

01:07:30Because I mean,

01:07:31individually, yeah,

01:07:32you gotta, I mean,

01:07:33yeah, like what like...

01:07:34It sucks.

01:07:35Yeah.

01:07:36It's like,

01:07:37you can prepare so much

01:07:38and we were prepared

01:07:39for everything

01:07:40Ohio State did,

01:07:40but it came down

01:07:41to just the crowd noise,

01:07:43everything,

01:07:44them timing the snap.

01:07:45I'm getting off,

01:07:46I'm off, you know,

01:07:47balance and people,

01:07:49it just comes down

01:07:50to how can you execute

01:07:51on the field

01:07:52and we and I

01:07:53didn't last year.

01:07:53Was Donald the best

01:07:55that you,

01:07:55the best that you ever played?

01:07:56I usually like take him out

01:07:58when people ask me that

01:07:58because...

01:07:59Really?

01:08:00That's how much

01:08:00like a gap it was?

01:08:01Yeah, yeah.

01:08:02The boogeyman.

01:08:03The boogeyman.

01:08:04Bro, that's scary.

01:08:05I got goosebumps.

01:08:05The boogeyman.

01:08:06That's crazy.

01:08:06That's like the one guy

01:08:07where we would play them.

01:08:08The boogeyman is such a great one.

01:08:09I would, like that's the guy

01:08:10that's keeping you up at night.

01:08:11So who would be the next guy

01:08:13if there was,

01:08:13I mean, obviously...

01:08:14Fletcher Cox was like my...

01:08:16Okay.

01:08:16I think we played

01:08:16against each other

01:08:1720 times in my career.

01:08:18What?

01:08:18Yeah, because we played

01:08:19twice a year.

01:08:19He's a rival.

01:08:20Yeah.

01:08:20So that was like my rival,

01:08:22Fletcher Cox,

01:08:22and he had a stint there

01:08:24where if you take Donald

01:08:25out of it,

01:08:25I thought he was

01:08:26kind of as good as it gets.

01:08:27What about like

01:08:28working at a TFL

01:08:29against me

01:08:30when he was a sophomore

01:08:31and I was a senior

01:08:31and I was like,

01:08:32who is this guy?

01:08:33What about like

01:08:33Vince Wilford?

01:08:34Someone like that.

01:08:35Yeah, I think I played

01:08:36him a lot.

01:08:37Those body types

01:08:38I feel like are more

01:08:39rare nowadays.

01:08:39Yeah, no.

01:08:40Definitely.

01:08:40Do you have a Wilford?

01:08:41Sue is definitely...

01:08:43Peter Vea maybe?

01:08:44Puts your hands on your...

01:08:45Billings on the Bears

01:08:46is a big load.

01:08:47Yeah.

01:08:47That's fair.

01:08:48Yeah, Peter Vea.

01:08:49No gloves.

01:08:50No.

01:08:50Psycho.

01:08:50Yeah, crazy man.

01:08:51Psycho.

01:08:52You know that guy

01:08:53started off.

01:08:54All right, next question.

01:08:55There you go.

01:08:58What block do y'all prefer?

01:08:59A pulling block

01:09:00where you get to smash

01:09:01the edge

01:09:01or a double team

01:09:02down block

01:09:03to the linebacker?

01:09:04I loved pulling

01:09:05on power, dude,

01:09:06and leading up

01:09:07on the mic.

01:09:07Yeah, not counter.

01:09:08I didn't like counters.

01:09:09Oh, a little skip pull.

01:09:10Did y'all do skip pulls

01:09:11or did you open up?

01:09:12No, no.

01:09:12We're big open ups.

01:09:13Really?

01:09:14See, we were talking

01:09:15about this the other day, dude.

01:09:16My first O-line coach

01:09:17was always skip pull.

01:09:18Coach Bostak came in

01:09:19and was always open.

01:09:21So why did you prefer

01:09:22open over...

01:09:23I don't think I've ever

01:09:25skip pulled like in a game.

01:09:26I guess my only downfall

01:09:28would be when you're

01:09:28coming back

01:09:29just being like high

01:09:30in the hole.

01:09:30Yeah.

01:09:31So when you're pulling down

01:09:32and you're coming around

01:09:32and you're coming around.

01:09:32Okay, yeah, that's a good point.

01:09:34We should show...

01:09:34So like a skip pull

01:09:35is where you're going

01:09:37to do this

01:09:37and you're going

01:09:38to stay square

01:09:38to the line.

01:09:39It's pretty much...

01:09:39I think...

01:09:40And then opening up

01:09:41you're in here.

01:09:42I'll be the edge.

01:09:43I think with counter

01:09:44there should be nothing...

01:09:46No, counter you open up.

01:09:47You're open.

01:09:47But I think power...

01:09:49It's both ways.

01:09:50Like Zach said,

01:09:51you're very high

01:09:52when you're skipping

01:09:53but you're also staying square

01:09:55to get tight in the hole.

01:09:57I don't know.

01:09:57It's...

01:09:58It's very much a preference

01:09:59thing for line coaches.

01:10:00I never played

01:10:01for a line coach

01:10:01that liked to skip pull

01:10:02so we didn't do a lot of it.

01:10:05I just always kind of

01:10:06felt like a running back.

01:10:07You watch the hole

01:10:09open up

01:10:09and then you kind of hit it.

01:10:10I think nothing for me

01:10:12beats a hip-to-hip

01:10:13double team

01:10:14right to a linebacker

01:10:16and you're just moving

01:10:17this guy against as well.

01:10:18Yeah.

01:10:18That is...

01:10:19Especially a linebacker

01:10:20that's like plussed over

01:10:21so I'm like...

01:10:22I'm working a combination

01:10:23with the center here

01:10:24and we're working

01:10:25with a linebacker over there.

01:10:26I literally have to

01:10:27take a drop step

01:10:27and I am just sprinting

01:10:29at this guy.

01:10:30You're giving one boom

01:10:31and then you're going.

01:10:32Just right through his hip?

01:10:33Yeah.

01:10:34The second guy.

01:10:34So you got your guy

01:10:35that's posting him up

01:10:36and I want to be

01:10:36the second guy

01:10:37just flying in there.

01:10:38Oh, yeah.

01:10:38God, that's the best.

01:10:39All right.

01:10:40Next question.

01:10:43How long...

01:10:44This comes from

01:10:45Joel the Human Giraffe.

01:10:47How long does it take

01:10:49an offensive line

01:10:50to officially gel

01:10:51as a unit

01:10:52and how do you factor

01:10:53injuries into that

01:10:55a la heavy depth

01:10:56ready to go?

01:10:57Yeah, it's tough

01:10:58especially when we're

01:10:58talking college football

01:10:59with the transfer portal

01:11:01and all new guys

01:11:02coming in.

01:11:03I mean,

01:11:03offensive line play

01:11:04is very unique

01:11:05as we know, right?

01:11:06It takes five guys

01:11:07on every play

01:11:08to do their job

01:11:08so when you don't get

01:11:10those reps next to guys

01:11:11it is difficult.

01:11:12It takes a little bit

01:11:12of time

01:11:13but when you play

01:11:15next to the same guy

01:11:16for a long time

01:11:17there's a comfort level

01:11:18that comes out.

01:11:19I play next to

01:11:19Terrence Steele

01:11:20or right tackle

01:11:20in Dallas right now

01:11:21for the last five seasons

01:11:22and there is

01:11:23versus the first

01:11:24couple years

01:11:25we were playing

01:11:25against or

01:11:26with each other

01:11:27versus the last few

01:11:28it's a huge difference

01:11:29that comfort level

01:11:29I know how he steps

01:11:30I know he's going

01:11:31to fit into the block

01:11:32I know how he sets

01:11:34I know how he likes

01:11:35me to set on someone

01:11:36so there's a lot

01:11:38of that that comes

01:11:38with just repetition.

01:11:39Could you all

01:11:40have almost played

01:11:40a game without

01:11:41talking by the end?

01:11:42Yeah, for sure.

01:11:43Like just like

01:11:43yeah, you're just

01:11:44locked in.

01:11:45So I had two

01:11:46left tackles

01:11:47that I played with

01:11:48when I was playing guard

01:11:49Luke Haggard

01:11:50who plays for the Bucs

01:11:51and then Carter

01:11:52who's still

01:11:52with Indiana

01:11:53but like you said

01:11:54we could go

01:11:55we could have gone

01:11:56a whole game

01:11:56without

01:11:57like we didn't even

01:11:57need to switch call

01:11:58like we were passing

01:11:59off twists

01:11:59because we're just

01:12:00so in tune

01:12:01with each other

01:12:02and we don't even

01:12:03have to say

01:12:03like combination calls

01:12:05because we just

01:12:05know what we're doing

01:12:06but it is

01:12:07there isn't a big

01:12:08adjustment period

01:12:09from like Luke

01:12:10to Carter now

01:12:10like there was

01:12:11a huge adjustment

01:12:12that I had to make

01:12:13just on steps

01:12:14and your rhythm

01:12:15with each other

01:12:16and like the gel

01:12:17and I think

01:12:18a lot of it

01:12:18this may be

01:12:19like but it comes

01:12:20like off the field

01:12:21as well

01:12:22that I will say

01:12:22because like the camaraderie

01:12:24and the chemistry

01:12:24that you have

01:12:25on the field

01:12:26it's just a byproduct

01:12:27of what you're doing

01:12:28well yeah

01:12:28and so we talked

01:12:29about with Kate

01:12:29earlier

01:12:30I mean it's funny

01:12:31that strong side

01:12:31quick side thing

01:12:32almost makes it

01:12:33even more intimate

01:12:34in a way

01:12:34because that's your

01:12:35that's your lover

01:12:36you're traveling

01:12:37constantly

01:12:38like if I'm having

01:12:3920 beers

01:12:39with my left tackle

01:12:40that's fantastic

01:12:50okay last question

01:12:51here this comes

01:12:51from Gnarly Charlie

01:12:52great name Gnarly

01:12:53what part of the body

01:12:54hurts the most
