OverDrive — Auston Matthews sniping 50? | OverDrive: Sept. 10, 2026 - Hour 2. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
If you smile What the win Wilson is cooking Now or two overdrive continues powered by Fandall Brian hazeo dog Jeff O'Neill Jamie noodles McClennan Al's brother still to come will sneak in some Jerry's and there's Lou quilson professional pro athlete salute I mean you call that right Sam Darnal five snaps in would blow his hip out and you guys are Not a chest back and I said it right before he left the airways yesterday I said partsy I think you have so much knowledge being a former NFL tight end that you can think outside the box because you know too much But he then didn't do it yesterday my guy great pick. I appreciate that parts I appreciate you having the trust in me and I'll also say I'm pretty sure I said verbatim doogie check me on this C Hawks by three yep and C Hawks one by three some people know ball. Hey some people don't go to EPA
They don't go to stats. They're not worried about who's sleeping where and when they're coming to town We just do works straight ball knowers over here. Yeah, that's right and you and you and the baby Robin with no chirps You guys you're gonna be under the gun in game two Yeah, we are and I was brothers coming up in a few minutes big game tonight And I see West. I mean what a win by Seattle But what a loss by the pads. I mean that is a horrendous loss considering Donald's injury the penalties They had a double digit lead like I don't know how rapal possibly explains that after the game That is a horrendous choke job in my opinion. Yeah, it was funny and I touched on this on J show last night But beyond all that has just the mentality at quarterback was Atrocious Drew law came on and his post came interview and they're like hey, what was it like? You know coming in like you said obviously Sam Donald got hurt and he was like I just thought to myself
I you know take care of the football. We have a great defense here take care of the football and Things will be fine and you saw it all night. He look cool. Calm collected. It was a slog Don't I mean they were around the ball play action like this wasn't a run in gun style Offensive performance by Seattle, but he was like hey, I'm here to manage this game and let her defense dominate and on the flip side You know you look at Drake May He didn't need to do anything. He just literally needed a not throwing receptions. They would have been fine Three picks late in the game one worse than the next Force and a ball to dobs force them all in third and long for no reason and then we get down here down three You've got a tie ball game and it's like no, I want to be the hero and you'll all ball up I mean it's great catching wrong with a job there, but I was surprised because generally speaking like a Vrable lead team understands the situation and for New England You're on the road against the Super Bowl champs and Seattle. I'm obviously biased, but it's one of the toughest places to play
So you're about to steal one here and your quarterback decides no, he's just gonna start Trying to become like he's Joe Montana and it's crazy Partsy if you are the former player and you know what you know and you turned into a reporter And you are on the New England side and haste just mentioned Mike Vrable needing to explain this But if you were going into media availability who would you want to say to what the hell was going on out there Drake may or Vrable? To me, it's got to be May and you know I listen to some of stuff he said like he owned it and do I think the sky is falling on Drake May? Absolutely not like I want to be very clear here. I'm not ready to like write the sky off But again, they're gonna have as we've talked about it length we talked about yesterday They have a much harder schedule this year and I think they can win I think they can beat anyone, you know, they should have won last night But the reality is Drake May needs to buy in that like hey There's games were on the road and we're playing great defenses and we might need to win this thing 13 to 10
You know are 16 13 and over time where there's other games where they're gonna need him to make those plays because for whatever reason Let's say they're playing the bills and Josh Allen's getting after him He might have to try and match Josh Allen like that. That's where I think was the disappointing part was Yes, it was starting to shift in the Seahawks favor, but if it wasn't for the turnovers I think doing them probably hangs on yeah, I totally agree. I mean the picks were they were really under thrown They're the same pick bases under thrown back foot You know completely unnecessary throws the one at the end of the game is as bad as you could ever get outrageous horrendous decision to throw the ball furthermore He kind of ran into the rush which was unnecessary to the pocket wasn't really even collapsing until he went that direction And he completely under threw it I mean it was just all around it was a horrible decision and now you look at their schedule They've got the Steelers at home then at Jaguars at bills so like they they're in tophere the next three weeks in England
Yeah, I'm with you still a good team Okay, but Drake May was not very good in the playoffs horrible the Super Bowl horrible last night You know they got to prove they can they can compete with good teams. Yeah, I got to prove they can be good teams And what's tough right now if I were to put a assessment on Drake May against mediocre defenses He is awesome, you know against bad defenses. He is awesome But you talk about the playoffs and you talk about you know the Super Bowl last night The games he struggled is against top tier defenses and it hasn't been like oh, you know this defense is good It's been like he's also been awful in those games. So Again, I'm not ready to sit here and say Drake May isn't a guy or we can't be a guy or whatever But clearly against some of these higher end defenses He's got to get the mentals right because I think he has all the ability and those throws yesterday more mental errors than anything well on the flip side Put place yourself back in that room where you feel like you
Somehow escape with the win. Yeah, then you get news. Donald's gonna be okay probably missed week two They're they're playing Arizona week two. They're gonna win with true lock They played Washington week three. I don't even think he has to play in that game when they can win that ball game You've got an extra long week because it was a Wednesday Like what is the plan for the the healthy Seahawks after last night? I mean that must have been green light. Yes 101 Stay the course right now, you know try not to get too fired up, but you said it You got two games that you are significantly better than both of those teams Also your division rivals who are more of the threat are across the globe right now But to punch each other in the head for three hours tonight So I look at that right now that was a big one, you know, certain one to know I think it read like invigorates the fan base Especially the way it was like that wasn't a super entertaining game, but the dramatic fashion that it kind of ended
It's get Sam healthy, but that being said like I don't I think it's a huge loss ever made Super Bowl perspective Not having Sam Donald, but like the next again if it's two three four weeks Drew Law can operate this offense and the next thing I would say is like you want to like about getting thrown into the fire You got a new offensive coordinator that comes in without to start running back from last year Kenneth Walker and on the first drive loses his quarterback And for Florida he committed to that run game now Yes, and every time they showed him he just was chewing gum a lot lighter than Pete Carroll But just chewing gum and you know look cool calm collected the culture in Seattle really is kind of jumping off the screen for me Parts see if you had Shanahan or McVeigh sit you down and said we're going with what you say We have a game in Australia When do you want the whole operation to go there without like getting too scientific just your gut instinct?
What would be the best approach and who do you think with their two approaches has the best chance for success for me? I would like with the Rams did show up playball Like I don't want to be an Australian for seven days eight days This is where it gets like it's a business trip man first off. I don't like Australian accents. So that's a personal one I just like parts. This is a strange one for me. I know what do you not like about the accents? You can get into that we can get into that What's up there? I got you but I think this whole sleeping thing is Someone of the modern world and it's ridiculous. Okay You come in here. You're an NFL football player. It's not your job Okay to talk about when you're showing up to a game you get a lot of people that are paid a lot of money to figure that out Your job is to be ready to go on game day and at how much and we were pampered we were unbelievably coddled
Okay, how much do we need like when does this end? Okay, you look it's like all the Niners guys are getting there eight days early So they can acclimate and blah blah blah and I'm sure it's great I'm sure all of them will be ready to go and on the flip side the Rams are on some crazy plane It's depressurized with lifelap beds and they're not gonna and it's like you know at one breath They talk about like football like we'll play in a parking lot, but then all of a sudden this has become a national story because The Rams have their version of science and the Niners have theirs and they're probably both right but like parts This would be my thing. Let me just say this parts I know that you're Seahawks teams if there was a group tax that two in the morning from Pete that said show up at the Building we got a game everybody show up and be ready to play everybody would be the only negative thing if I got that Tax would be I wish I had my long hair that would be the only I you know, let's go Yeah, plug them up and let's go like it gets So strange in today's day and age where it's like the end of the day like I get all of the things that's going on in
They're important. I'm not saying it's not important But both teams will be ready to go on game day. They're gonna be completely coddled as all of us are They're gonna walk in there like if you're the Rams you're getting hydration you're getting food you land There's massage therapists chiropractors like the whole foam rolling stretch room get you name at day God you need something they might have a hyper bear chamber. Okay, I'm talking like they'll have everything you need to be ready on game day So I just I know it's the national story I Just don't think it's that big of an ordeal both teams when a different way I personally would rather go in and out like the Rams I like what they said about not having to acclimate coming back next week But if I had to stay in Australia for eight days and suffer through that miserable accent I would do it So what happened what happened with like could you beat a guy up with an Australian accent or you got your heart broken? No, I no heart broken guys. It's just one of those things where like you ever Sometimes I'll be listening to these Australians and I'm like man. This is just a tough listen
Yeah, look what are we talking about you? It's just a hotter. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, Dundee man Look at how done D exactly look you talked about the flights regardless with it How you have to get there in that these long flights? What's the what's the protocol for the guy like who gets the grub first if there's a buffet and all of that Is there rules? Where is it like offense first D first like the kickers like last as you know what what is it? What's the protocol in these big flights? Yeah, honestly, it's funny noodles because one of the things I was Envious of other sports were the flights and the reason being is with the smaller teams They would all have these like really cool planes We're like for us. This is the vast majority of NFL teams We're flying on a normal plane. It's chartered so it's just us But we would have kind of the thing in Seattle was hey on the way there We're all in the economy section in the back now granted you get a whole row to yourself
Right and it's it's I'll be honest the way back is mayhem which is kind of wild but You know if we won the one year Pete would switch could but like the coaches would sit in the first class beds on the way there and maybe like if you guys win Whatever the 15 oldest guys on the team could sit up front So it's pretty chill like you'd sit down. They got gatorades on your chair. There's snacks everywhere It's not like a whole like but like again, you're flying pretty luxurious here Not a pretty big like a hierarchy of who gets what first? I would say that the biggest thing is making sure the FDA doesn't get alerted on the way home. Yeah, probably the toughest that's important Yeah, you got to make sure the authorities are cool with everything Don't set that smoke alarm off noodles that FDA calling in can't skirt that one Like would there be guns on the plane and stuff? Stories of that pro sports too right the one that was a bit strange was like for TSA over there Then they would come to our facility in Seattle. So in the way out
You'd go and we'd all joke around where it's like okay every like fifth person they would check It's like we don't go through security and we always joke like the person would check with like blinders on like they'd be like All right, you were the random person flagged Then you're on the bus if you weren't even flagged just off straight on the bus So you know there was a time where I maybe talked or security guy had a friend of mine Flagged and maybe put something in his bag. Okay, but the top part was they still didn't find it So I was a little upset about I thought I had a real nice prank everybody was in on it and it just kind of fell flat Just didn't didn't land. Yeah, it was tough I was brother coming up here in a few moments and I was talking to dogie like I do every day and doogie throws a lot of stuff at me different things he's reading seeing thinking and Generally I absorb it sometimes I say Sometimes I flush it sometimes I react with are you kidding me with that type of question? I had a reaction to that today, but I feel like you would see I'd I would do again this doogie was promoting
The idea that if Matt Stafford has a great season this year He could play himself into maybe top 10 status all time at the position At the quarterback position. I Think that's outrageous talk. I don't I don't he is not top 10 all time. No chance I don't care. I don't care if he wins MVP and the Super Bowl So let's no chance no, hey, if he wins Super on VP and Super Bowl He's not top 10 quarter. How can you how can you say that? I can give you names right now just five easy. There's Peyton Tom Well, I'd say my home's Rogers breeze like this in the last 20 years though There's five that are no doubters like Brady Manning my home's Rogers breeze. I think Josh Allen's better than him You haven't even touched on the I haven't hit my can I haven't hit you know L.A. L.A. You got put L.A. Now way for sure. I think Brett Faras clearly a better What about Danny Marino Thank you There you go Brett Farves a better quarterback than Matt Stafford. I love Brett far
I love I'm not not as recent actions. I mean Brett far back in the day I'm not talking about the person that's buddy Brett Faras the player for sure But I'm not putting him over Matt. He's three times he's three time MVP Binded two Super Bowl's won a Super Bowl. He's got he's started three three hundred three games in a row man I mean I had the Iron Man streak forever. It was incredible. Yeah, where Stafford fit in for you on all this Stafford I'm like I can't I'd have to look over Because then you get back in the day where you're talking like Johnny United's You know Starbucks, you know guys like that. I mean it's a tough combo because to me It's like if you were to ask me to name top five quarterbacks of all time Okay, and what gets weird with that conversation is And this is a bit of a hot take. I don't think it's that wild but if we're Not taking in a mount of Super Bowl wins Okay, I probably take Peyton Manning as my first guy. Yep Like I don't think that's a crazy No, I agree with you the way he called his own offense. Yes, we thought the game
What five MVP's yeah, like I probably take Peyton one I go to Tom too But obviously if we're if we're if we're I wow If we're going you know championships all of those things you put Tom one Like there's no doubt it gets right I think there's an argument to Tom's first three. He was a great quarterback But they also had a legendary defensive side of the football And he and his next three he was the main reason they wanted I think that's if you look at the numbers think that's a bit of a fair take Okay, so and I'm not trying to take anything away from Tom But to me that's kind of your one two you said it like I'm a bit Montana is is old for me like it's hard for me to be like oh, I'm putting Montana at three But he's better than staffer though I agree with you on that but I'm saying like You know modern era like right. I don't I would take Montana over Josh Allen just because he hasn't won but like As far as ability goes would you take Josh like
Well, like I think let's let's just go there and guess I think Allen's a better quarterback than Stafford personally like I just think he's got more attributes and the way he can run the game run the ball the size What he does outside of the pocket I feel like you would disagree with no I it's just it's a it's a very I don't disagree But it's hard like It's kind of like the MJ First-jord argument where there's so many of your angles you can look at this like I would agree where Josh's ability off schedule is way better than Matthews I would agree obviously how much weight you put in The Josh being able to use his legs and rush and score TDs But I think from a mental standpoint Matthew is clearly ahead of him but that's not fair too Matthews played a lot more years than Josh Allen so like it's just And again you never know but it's like Josh came into Buffalo and has you know seemingly turned that place around
Where Matthew I would say you know Buffalo fans might push back on this but I would say going to Detroit in the Jim Schwartz era even before that like That's a that's a blood bad. That was oh in 16 you walked into a place that was lost like every single game like You know that was taught or I'll never forget this guys. I'm not joking The year before I think it was a year two years where God to Detroit They made the playoffs and had to come to Seattle week one so I want to say this was 2016 don't quote me on that sort of maybe 2017 playoffs And I was sitting there and that was always a weird one because all my boys back home were Lions fans And after that we beat them you know moved on to the next round And after that game I remember thinking to myself like looking on the field and being like man the Lions players seemed happy Like it was the only game I've been at part of where like we beat someone And I generally had the feeling that they were like oh great the season's done
We can finally get out of here. Yeah, it was my ridiculous mind ended up going there a year later Thing it was gonna be some sort of major culture change. So who's the real dummy here, but You know that Detroit was with the same level as the Cleveland Browns Right, so you know 100% if Matthew staff are correct of Matthew staffers not there. It maybe we're have a different opinion of him I don't know Yes The atithesis of the Cleveland Browns house brother. Do you guys think you both owe me an apology for all the negative things you said about my pick yesterday Can we start this year off? Can we start this year off on a better know They do yeah, they owe you an apology go ahead. I'll go ahead. I'll spread there I mean, let's be honest like the Seahawks like shot themselves in the foot the way we never expected to happen they lost Sam Darnal that game five plays into it
Was completely different if you knew Sam Darnal wasn't gonna be there Then I never would have dug the pick. I probably would have assumed that the Patriots would have won that football game But they didn't win it and you're you lucked out because The Newtles doesn't sound like an apology Well fine. Right. Oh brother. That's important. You know accounts Let me ask you two guys think it did you agree on this that you have the biggest layup of the century yeah This could I agree? No, what is that? You're reading down there else brother No, I can't like it's completely different situation. It's it's it's like liquid. It's insane I don't know what we're doing with the moons and the time like did you hear Kyle shanahan trying to talk about what day it was He's like it's Wednesday, but it's Thursday and so this guy I mean, I don't know what's going on in Australia, but that guy is in an absolute blender And I do think McVeigh is gonna put him in a blender again tonight. I will say that I have a lean Okay, I got a quick one for Hayes Hayes. Do you also feel like everything that Al's bro just said about Kyle shanahan
Can be said about Al's bro. This guy's got a lot on this plate right now. He's been very quiet He's got some sort of weird armpit thing going on Okay, is there a world where the real guy in the blender is Al's bro. I just I'm not feeling the same confidence He's already was usually the moon play is late in the year and he's a win. I know like how much under the gun is this guy? Well, I Let's hear the man's research. He usually does his homework I don't know. I don't know. You have like homework. What do you like you said you have a lean where are you getting these thoughts from rams three and a half That's the line locking it in right in Australia the line is down to three and a half It's been at four all week. It's down to three and a half go ahead. I was brother I believe in you and I know you can do you know multiple things are you know multiple times you can you can walk and shoot gum at the same time Sure, you got a wedding coming up, but you also got a season of work and there's priorities absolutely You know absolutely and I'm ready to go tonight like I I want to lay the points with the rams I mean we've been talking about this team how good they are seeming to the greatest show on turf 2.0
And I think they're coming out in Melbourne and they're gonna show it at the end of the day Hey, look everyone's making this big hoopla but oh they just got there where you know the the Niners they've been there for over a week I mean we I heard you guys talking about on the show earlier today the Rams sent people out They've been working on this for two years two years to figure out the best time to get in there and be at Most efficiency by game time and I think they could be ready to roll tonight and realistically the rams have just beaten down on the San Francisco 49ers of the last couple of years They've won four of the last five games. They've covered four of their last five games So this has been McVeigh's got to you know schnick the last couple of years. He's ready to roll against the Niners At the end of the day I think that the Niners they're just they're just getting old They're injured and I just don't feel like they're gonna be very good this season I have them tagged as kind of the NFC's regression candidate like If if christian McCaprey doesn't go off tonight who's gonna get the ball into the end zone at the end of the day
Who is gonna get the ball into the end of against that defense? Oh man my heavens guy missing time during camp my heavens are you kidding me? Yes, I'm not kidding you I'm I'm not kidding you Okay, well how about kittles George kiddos plant tonight kiddos plant but he's a game time decision Coming off in a killies. How about a little uh coming off in a killies How about a little rotational thing we we motion CMC out we bring Dibo into the backfield we run behind Trent Williams how about that How about that Dibo sent you a gun to come back parts see these guys are still in a deeper search and they don't understand ball I I'm with I'm seeing eye to eye here without his brother McVeigh has just owned shenan Shenan had him sell some problems in the offseason too right like he's still a weird one that's still kind of very strange Like I was looking at my phone and never mind and something weird was going on with shenan and and you know Whatever the travel accounts for I guess we'll find out tonight sports science nerds are gonna be loving the outcome of the game
Tonight someone's gonna be eating their chest. Yeah, but I'm also not the biggest Brock Purdy fan in the world And it's been really quiet on him coming into a new season for a guy that has always been a question mark based on where he got picked in the draft Get paid the amount of money got paid But I like I like the quarterback battle to favor the Rams Miles Garrett I think goes off tonight Block it in else brother. You make a great point everything across the board what screams lay the points Rams tonight outright Well, what facet of the game do the Niners control at this point like I think you look at offense defense coaching the line of scrimmage the wrong defense Yeah, for the Niners defensively yeah, there I mean if everyone could stay healthy, you know, it's Nick Bose of five snaps in Yeah, that's what I am with house bro where it's like the Niners are hard one to pinpoint Because you say like what
Area of the game can they you know dominate on paper and they're older, but you look at Nick Bose to drake green law Fred Warner If those guys are healthy they can be electric, but that is at this point is a crazy if Like a crazy at big time and they're well listen, they're really good organization That finds a way to string it together every single year even with the amount of injuries they suffer and they've suffered a lot the last couple of years But like Shanahan on the hot seat do you see do you think that's possible or is that like a little bit extreme? I it's weird because with Shanahan and again, I do think whatever happened this offseason Uh, you know, I'm sure that's not good, but it's also a bit rich when like I don't think you can jam Shanahan when jade york You know like the owners gonna be calling Amanda reem amount The trailer park Which is still like one of the funniest things I've ever read in my crazy story. Oh, yeah, I mean you're down bad
You're down real jet was in a dark dark place Yeah, and a bad to make things worse. He just had the worst gear on You had like some Yeah, like some rude. Yeah, he had a Yankees t-shirt and like some badge sweatshorts and some bad shoes was like It's like dude you're the own the Niners and you're wheeling around a trailer park with Lucy and yeah, Lucy from the trailer park boys They like $360 in 20s like it was just the weirdest thing Like it was outrageous. I wish there'd be like a Netflix you like a Episode of like how there has like I picture it like to hang over like there had to be a series of like 30 events that led to him being there At least that's I I kind of go. I'm like unless it's this thing. I don't know Well, yeah, yeah, there's like there's 32 owners in the league and there's
Some of the owners have got themselves in some weird places. Yeah, it's got to be a depth chart of some of these guys. Yeah, totally 100% There's a list for a zb. There's a list for you. How many of you want? We'll see what I don't know shenan's like The tough part is if you lose if you move away from shenan Who do you get and he's getting scooped up so quickly? He's getting scooped up and like such a good coach unless there's a Ben Johnson out there You think you can absolutely lock in like I don't know who's gonna be better. I'm with you All right lock it in Rams three and a half house brother. I love the pick I love where we're at will be tied by midnight tonight, which will be just past one PM in Melbourne, Australia Good stuff boys. We'll do it again tomorrow with more picks and then next week is always great seeing you guys See you boys. There he is house brother and little quilts and joining us. All right. We'll stick in a couple of jerry's We'll let you hear what Chris Tannin had to say about Austin Matthews and when he's seeing up close and personal over drive continues
Up on ts and for This is Brian Adams radio How stood by Brian Adams himself? Play a few mine a ton of my favorites and some must hear behind the scene stories from the world of rock and roll One thing about doing rock and roll so long is you end up meeting a lot of the people that you admire Sometimes you can get to work with him Oh Brian Adams radio Now available on the free iHAR radio app You're gonna want to hear this jerry's percentages. I don't love being commissioner as much as I used to I actually love it even more. That's the voice of a Hall of Famer. Are you kidding? Have you been out drinking? Jerry You're all pigeons Filthy filthy pigeons Jerry All right, so we played this yesterday and then Jerry sat on hold
For 15 minutes while we started talking about different things and we sidetracked yeah, we got sidetracked a little bit So we promised we'd get to him today. We got a couple of hits from Jerry and um I'm already wasting his time because ready. Yep go for it Five teams from the Atlantic division will make the playoffs this season Five pack from the Atlantic division I'm gonna say 35% I just don't think you can fall back on last year and just automatically toss teams in again this year I don't know it would be outrageous to just say oh yeah Those guys are gonna all gonna be great again and they're all gonna get into playoffs again I'm going 35% I'd like to believe that it's a lot higher. I think oh you're you're right like Your chances are it could be four and four but I I look at the Metro Carolina obviously for me as a lock they just they're just too good
That is the lock of the century that winning the Metro division lock of the century I just I look at but You know to feel like Philadelphia got better did Washington. I think Washington got better. They definitely did like that That's a team that you know, I like it's Pete DeBorg and I'm you know get the islanders Going is New Jersey being healthy going to be a team that gets that gets you know something going I I think it could be four and four But I think the Atlantic has the best teams Yeah, I totally agree I'll be a little bit higher too But I'm not I would have said Hayes and oh I would have said like 75% Maybe more 90% You know looking at it But I'm lower on this just because of the teams that in the Metro that have gotten better. I'm so I'm gonna be 62% I'm 80% I'm going that high I don't I would say Carolina who do you really like you still got to play the games?
Who do you really like though like Philly at a magical year good for them? They scream regression like scream at Darthlett Dar have that I don't think he's doing that again Pittsburgh wall now Thank you exactly how many games he can apply we'll see Pittsburgh was the shock of the season last year, you know, they were phenomenal to their credit What are they this year, you know, I don't know do I love Columbus? Do I love the Islanders? Do I love New Jersey? Not really You know, yeah, I don't love those teams Now that you said that You know what you know a team that could be like the shock of this entry. It could be the Rangers. They stink Justirka's got to be great noodles I'm sorry Jamie the New York Rangers will be the last place in the Metro division this year Maybe I think it's a question But I maybe Columbus is a pretty decent team depends of Rensky comes back a little bit down Right his imagination they got to figure out his future contract right but I but again
The only thing I would say to this in defense of the four you know four from each division is We're talking about a bunch of teams that have good players like that like there's no definitive Like you could make a case for x y and z we're come I come back to the word parody in the league There's none of those teams are rebuilding are they we thought Pittsburgh was last year But other than that there are teams that could end up in the bottom But I don't think they're going to be a 58 point team any of those teams like that's why That's why I think it's it's very hard to predict because there's so much parody now in the league Yeah, and You know, there's turnover every season and there's teams that surprise you and listen teams in the Atlantic could Regress to right yeah, Buffalo's got to prove it again Boston had a really good you they passed a lot of things together. I was surprised by that. I don't think they're a great team um, you know what is Obviously what are the maple leaves? I don't know what they're gonna what is auto without Brady could chuck you know
It's there's a lot of question marks as well, but you know, I think if you look at the teams on their on paper anyway Florida Tampa Montreal Buffalo Montreal Buffalo Toronto like those are good teams. Yeah, they have the chance to be five like really good teams A great a great that's why I went 62 okay. What else you got Jerry Austin Matthew scores 50 goals this season That's the heater leave fans want to hear from Jerry Austin Matthew scores 50 goals this season you want to hear Chris Tana first but just get him to kind of let's He's skating with the captain, right Austin's back in town Here's what Chris Tana had to say to mark masters about what he's seeing from Austin Matthews Yeah, I think he's gonna be amazing. So you He worked extremely hard to summer and Put in all the work he he needed to do to
um Be how he always is and an extremely Effective player and one of the best players in the league. There you go I'm expecting to mark did mark wake him up from a nap or what like Is that Chris not blogs dressing room like what's going on here? I I want to go first on this game 70% I'm high on this I 84th two extra games here. Yeah, that's it's that kind of is that gonna mess with any of the stats or You know the integrity of anything in your minds. No, yeah, I mean it's only two games But yeah, you could like getting a 50 there every year there seems to be a guy sitting on 47 48, you know He gets two more games. Yeah, you could you could get to 50 for sure. I I think if he's healthy I still you know I think McKenna is a guy who's gonna pass him the puck eventually Consistently. I don't know if it's gonna be right away or it's gonna be right away And then a drop off or whatever
But I think if he's healthy and gets looks he gets 50 plus. I've got's the way I look at it 50 what did he have 30 Yeah, isn't the early 30s got hurt though right missed a lot of those stretch on last year I'm gonna give him a 50 50 chance simply because And this shouldn't really factor in whether he does this I think if he plays great and has 40 goals and gets close to 100 points It'll be a fantastic year for the Leafs You know what I mean? I got I'm not gonna base success for Austin Matthews and the Toronto Maple Leafs on the simple fact that he gets 50 Obviously 50 would help and it was it's just like flattie when flatties numbers are inflated and he's the superstar and he's running the show It seems like the team has success But I think it still can be like a good good for both situations If he gets 40 and as a hotter points or something similar to that So I'm giving him a 50 50 chance. He had 27 goals in 60 games last year, which is what that's
What is that for a close and then I'm 40 right? Yeah, like it would be over 84 games about 40 goals close to yeah Which in again, that was a that was a down down year for you're for you 33 33 and 67 the year before which is Got to stay high like that you're not chasing 50 by if you play 60 games, you know, it's not gonna happen Yeah, in order for him to get to 50. He's got to play 80 80 games for sure Like you're gonna miss maybe a couple games here there But he's got to play 80 games and maybe that's a better question You know what's the percentages that he's gonna play a full season? Because he's been injury prone the last two years And that is what has to happen first in order for him to get rocking again Gotta be healthy and and needs and it's not healthy Day one of camp It's healthy through the grind of the season where you're playing a lot of games You have a target on your back every single night and you got to fight through it and like when he he was at his best
The guy was he was playing every night. I mean it goes without saying you just you can't chase awards He can't be the best player in your team if you don't play enough Yeah, so that's the first thing that he obviously would be focused on if he is healthy I'm high on the idea him scoring 50 because he's just he's that good at goal scorn Like he's that capable of finding opportunities And I think the coaching change is pretty significant here too You know barouba was asking them to do different things. He was playing a different. He was killing penalties with barouba I don't know if he kills penalties with Jim Miller I'm very curious to see if he will or not you didn't kill a ton But he killed enough and he'd be out there late on penalty kills and he was you know He's got to win draws gonna be relied on to do that He's not always gonna start in the offensive zone. It's just not possible But I do think Like you look at what they've done as an organization this offseason Almost all of it points to them doing it with the purpose of getting him back Like almost all of it they turned over
The front office the coaching staff half of the roster You know, they took the canna first overall not that they should not have I'm not saying they should have taken standburger or defenseman or something like that But I think McKenna was a clear cut pick with the idea of him resuscitating his goal scoring career And like math all of it is based on that it's everything that they've done has been to prop him up and get him back That's what they've done and they're begging they're begging that he can do it. They're praying he can do it Obviously, they want him to do it and if he can do it then he will Basically make them all look like geniuses, you know, because then they're probably gonna make the playoffs again And then everyone's gonna be cum by odd that at mlsc right that all it just all of it revolves around 34 and getting it back almost everything they've done So Let's see all right Jerry good stuff get more Jerry's in the tank I think we can get to those probably tomorrow Yeah, but when we come back I want to play you the latest Leon dry cidal clip

Yep, I agree

You have something new or It's just when I heard about Leon saying I'm a man like we're all men I just thought of this clip right here Joe from the bridge where are we at in society today? I'm a man I'm 40 I'm not a kid I'm a kid that does everything right that Torx broken and then say that the coaches said he was scared that ain't true Come at me. I'm a man. Let's try 30 There was three games in a row and someone torches Yeah, whoever it is like what a bizarre old world thing to even be talking about the oilers Going into this season and Mike Babcock is through a head coach Like no one had that on their bingo card. No especially after Columbus a year ago guys
There's been so we had this and even in June we were talking about this The leaves missing the playoffs Tree living getting fired the oilers having Babcock and like there are some bizarre World like story lines here in the last what is it the last six months do you want to call it? For sure six months of the hockey. I mean queen he was getting traded Brady Kachuk, you know getting traded Where at the year and he's like that hasn't come out of my mouth like there's been a 10 pack of bizarre world story lines Going in the NHL. Hey, so you love it. I know you love there's more coming is Halibut still waiting at larc. It's the waiting That when he is he throw the old when the guy throws out the old. I'm a no rush to do this like This isn't like some mid-tier level negotiation where it needs this or that to get over the hump This is a slam dunk. It's 20 million It's whatever years you want it and when he says I just want to take my time and you leave that kind of cake on the
table That doesn't look good. It's troubling if you're in Minnesota. Yes, I read it the same way. Doesn't mean it's a lockies leaving And you know, he does seem like a very laid-back guy, but you're right. It is not a complicated negotiation It's 20 million dollars times what what do you want it by whatever? Four five six seven full no trade bonuses on July 1st like that's what's happening when you're that Calibur over player. It's not a complicated deal to negotiate What what if it's just a two-year? Sure, okay, you know, let's call new years. Yeah, you're right But you know, you can point is he hasn't said okay. I'll do it to like he hasn't When he says I've just said no rush. Yeah, that turns into dark to Varas Yeah, you know trouble it goes all year trouble man.
