| 0:00.0 | Mr. Mayor, it's hard to overstate how rough this injury is for J.J. McCarthy. |
| 0:09.2 | He might not get back on the field as much, that much this year. |
| 0:12.1 | So next year could be rookie season attempt three. |
| 0:14.5 | See, that's where I would, that's where I would probably disagree is that practicing and being actually able to do stuff and run a scout team |
| 0:25.3 | and actually run practices against the first team defense for a full year is much different. |
| 0:29.7 | And I probably didn't factor that enough, but it might, I think it might be much different |
| 0:36.0 | because we saw, and I know Mahomes, he's like the best, |
| 0:38.3 | but we saw Mahomes do that. We saw Rogers. We saw Love those quarterbacks do that and they |
| 0:43.3 | didn't play, but also the preseason. It's, it's hard to not play them in the preseason at all. |
| 0:49.3 | Preseason has become more of a joke. So that's more difficult. It's not an easy thing, man. |
| 0:53.9 | It's not an easy thing, man. |
| 0:55.1 | It's not an easy thing. |
| 1:03.8 | I totally agree with dark EXP that the Vikings defense was severely missing Harrison Smith. |
| 1:13.7 | Okay, so I'm going to try to do this on the fly here to bring in my friends, Brian Murphy, and Man Mani Hill and let's hope everything works out with that. So it's just take me a second here to get our roundtable going. But |
| 1:19.4 | appreciate you guys and the patience for the ranting in the first part of the show. And we can |
| 1:26.2 | have a more reasonable conversation here with these guys. Brian, you got me? You good? I hope so. I hear you. Do you hear me? Okay. So I'm not, I'm not hearing you. I think maybe the audiences, though. So you guys can let me know. Okay. Let me a second. Okay. Now go ahead. I'm hearing you just you just fine. Okay. And you? Yep. Yep. Yep. You got me. Okay. So, uh, just let me know guys in the comments. If you got Murph, okay. This is the first time we're doing this on the fly of bringing in, uh, the guests this way in the middle of the show. So you just have to be patient with me here. but I think we're good. I think we are good to go. And there's Manny. |
| 2:04.4 | So, uh, So you just have to be patient with me here. But I think, |
| 2:01.0 | I think we're good. I think we are good to go. And there's Manny. So, uh, hi, manny. Good evening. Okay. All right. Everybody good. Oh, so you got Murf. You got Manny. All right. Yes. Great. Okay. So guys, I spent the first, hour of the show. |
| 2:18.3 | Maybe you can tell my face is a little red here. |
| 2:21.5 | Just this situation with the quarterback, this is where we have to begin and pick up on. |
| 2:25.5 | As great as the game was yesterday, KOC talked today. |
