Bob is in Farmingdale. What's up, Bob?

Hey, guys, how you doing today? What's up, man? Hey, Tiki, big fan of yours. You were actually my favorite half of thunder and lightning back in the day. I appreciate that. I saw Ron Day. I was just out in Wisconsin, and I saw Ron Day. Oh, yeah, how's he doing? Good? He's doing all right, man. He married well out there, and he's a legend in Wisconsin.

I bet, I bet.

I want to ask Oh, yeah, how's he doing? He's doing all right, man. He married well out there, and he's a legend in Wisconsin.

I bet, I bet.

I want to ask you, Tiki, obviously, as a former player,

you've been around an NFL locker room.

Could the lack of effort, the lack of energy on the defense be indicative of them essentially

quitting on Shane Bowen,

but not respecting him? You know what? I doubt that. There's too much at stake. There's too much for your job to put bad stuff on tape out of spite. You know what I mean? I hate my D.C. Or I hate my offensive coordinator. I hate this coach. You know what? I'm just going to suck today. I'm not going to care. Well, guess what? All 31 other teams, when you're gone from here, are lucking at that tape. And when you get in, come in for a free agent visit, they're going to say, what the hell happened here? And what are you going to say? Well, I hated my coach. Yeah. It doesn't work. You can't explain it away.

Effort, you can't explain away.

Want to, you can't explain away. Mistakes, you can explain away. But not giving a crap, that sits with you. That cliche, the eye in the sky, don't lie. Trust me, it catches everything. If it's not about Coach Teke, do you think for some of these guys, it could be, you know, contract stuff, not getting paid?

You heard that caller talk about, you know, having all that money invested in the defense. Like, for example, we've been all over Dexter Lawrence here. You know Dexter Lawrence is not even in the top 10 on AAV per year in defensive tackle? Maybe. Maybe. It's funny because you said this last week, and I don't know if I dismissed it, but just kind of was like, yeah, you're right, but that's not the case with Dexter Lawrence and Carl Bank stuff that we talked about, how Carl called him. I mean, he called him out.

And then you heard Bobby O'Caricay talking about how maybe Carl is just trying to motivate him.

Right.

Dexter Lawrence is, when he's great, he is grossly underpaid.

So, does he want a new contract?

I'm sure he does.

But this isn't the way to go about getting it by being average at best on a given Sunday.

And the body language isn't telling me that he really wants this.

It's telling me he wants to be somewhere else, despite directly being asked this after the game. Yeah, it was.

Directly asked this, and he said, no, I don't want to be anywhere else.
