| 0:24.5 | That's Bummer. just real conversation and believe me plenty of laughs every weekday morning we don't hold back |
| 0:21.6 | and we don't waste your time we get to what actually matters that's boomer and geo and you |
| 0:25.9 | can listen on apple podcast spotify or wherever you get your pods all right we're back as we |
| 0:32.2 | get ready you'll hear from uh the managers starting at about 15, but first we're going to squeeze in some |
| 0:38.6 | injury stuff with Doc O'Brien. There's a lot going on. Doc, welcome. How are you? Hi, Mike. How are you today? |
| 0:44.4 | Hi, Doc. Obviously, with all the baseball, we haven't done that much on the NFL, but still, there's |
| 0:51.9 | some stuff we need to get to. And first, just kind of assess where |
| 0:56.0 | the Giants are. The Beckham, and you predicted, you said that there was going to be a problem |
| 1:01.0 | if he came back too soon. You were very much prophetic. Where do you think he is now with the injuries |
| 1:06.9 | that he sustained? Well, he had a similar type of injury, Mike. Similar mechanism, I'm going to talk about that. He's gone for the season. His ankle's going to be fine. He'll be back next year. The big problem is, you know, it'll be the same guy jumping over the middle with the same savvy that he always has because this is, you know, post-traumatic stress. I mean, this is a tough deal. |
| 1:28.7 | What I wanted to talk about is both of his injuries, both the same mechanism, were while he was a |
| 1:34.4 | defenseless receiver, meaning he is up in the air and he is defenseless. Now, they put in rules, |
| 1:40.9 | Mike, to protect against spearing with the head and helmet with the defensive |
| 1:44.8 | receiver, the question becomes, should they allow the receiver to land? |
| 1:49.9 | I do think they should because him and Marshall were both, they were in the air and they |
| 1:55.4 | had contact and that probably facilitated the injury. |
| 2:00.8 | Now, sometimes you say, well, look, it's not to be a same game if you're over-legislated. It's a contact sport. But you can always measure intent. You know, you can always measure intent. There was no real bad intent with his hit Beckham, but his first hit when he was in the Cleveland preseason, that guy was getting below the |
| 2:17.5 | knee. |
| 2:17.8 | It's just just no question. |
| 2:19.3 | I do think they need some rule changes. |
