All right, the one the only the gray, Tony Basile, come on now, the voice of the common fan and one of the best out there in the business Tony how you doing brother

Mike I love you man I'm so happy for your success I'm clapping for you

because I knew you win just like you knew me when and anybody that gets carved out a niche and

this stuff these days like you've done more than carving out a niche you got to really work

hard at it so much love for you, man. I appreciate it. Yeah, and all the same to you,

man, you've been an inspiration and I know my dad when he hears this, he's going to smile a little brighter tomorrow because anytime I get you on the show he

couldn't be more proud so thank you for that but man right right enough of the niceties what no what no hell's wrong with Tennessee's

offense this is a train wreck here I mean where do you start you know offensive lines

been kind of a mess or tackle plays been a mess.

receivers haven't been what they were supposed to be, but look, when your tackles don't function in past blocking just gums everything up.

And I think it's had an impact on Nico who started out the year looking instinctive and

athletic and Matt Dixon who is only a couple

times a week made a really good observation today which is the further we're going into the season with him the less instinctive and the

worst he's playing which is just not something you thought you'd say about

somebody as talented as him but that's the reality.

Right and we're in just such a unique time Tony where players are getting paid, which again that's a good thing but the way we're doing it is so

wacky to where you know let's let's say you start getting coached some of these

players probably need to be coached really hard, right? But you push them too hard.

Hey, I'm going to hit that portal because I'm going to make money at LSU at Alabama, Georgia,

Kentucky, at South Carolina, on and on and on.

So there's a fine line of, and some, there's rumors,

some players healthy to play, but not interested in playing
