All right, feedback coming in on a variety of topics just a heads up just about an hour from now. We'll be joined by Aiden Hutchinson for the first of our weekly interviews during this NFL season. Hutch will join us all season long as we'll Jared Goff once a week for each of them. Hutch today at 1150. We will speak with the adress from the Detroit Lions. Also it's funny and announcement came out during the show yesterday. And I thought, oh, he's going to be all over this. We'll get to that today at 11505 2485 3997 97. Feedback coming in. I would never complain if our season went this good, but I can see Petsing being a one and done and getting a head coaching opportunity. If the law, if the offense looks the way I think it's going to that's from an unnamed text. I'm going to get the home. I got a hope in John. I hope you Petsing doesn't pull up in Johnson. Let's, let's cool our jets. I, whoever sent that in, you would be thrilled. Yeah. If Drew Petsing had the kind of season
that had him be a one and done. Yeah. Like it's awesome when you can get everybody to settle in and you can keep the staff together. But that's not what happens with teams that are doing things like winning Super Bowls going to Super Bowls. So, you know, I'll take, take our chances that Dan Campbell, if he figured out something, the mistake with Anthony Lynn and John Morton got it right with Ben Johnson and Drew Petsing. Not only, well, two, one of two things will happen. One is solid candidates will want your job because you've produced two head coaches in what would that be? Two head coaches in four years, three years, three years. So solid candidates are going to want your job. And secondly is probably, I mean, I know 50% isn't great, but you're probably doing a pretty decent job. And every time you hire somebody new, you're probably getting a little bit better at it, right? Two for four. Yeah. What else do we got here? Saturday night when Michigan got behind it seemed like
Bryce Underwood was trying to play hero ball. They need to work on that. That's from Robert and Ann Arbor. Well, they specifically was, that was something that, a term they called, they said, Jason Beck said we're trying to coach a Superman out of him. He doesn't, we're trying to get him not to try to be Superman. And you know, I mean, look, the things that they were emphasizing didn't exactly show this past Saturday. No. And so, you know, the question becomes, all right, now that we've seen it, can these things be corrected? And now Bryce has like proof of concept. All right, here's, here's what didn't work. Correct. So we got it on film now. Yeah. That's why they say you can. Everything can get better from week one to week two. But another reason why I can't stand, I'm, you know, I used to really care about this stuff in both pros and collegiate sports. You know, what's coming out of training camp, all this kind of stuff. You know what? The best thing when he
am said was we'll see when the lights go on. I don't care that he went and worked with Jordan Palmer for crying out loud. Looks like right after seeing what happened Saturday looked like he spent the summer drinking Arnold Palmer's. I mean, it was terrible. He was terrible. The offensive line was terrible. And I'm not going to minimize how inept the coaching staff looked on Saturday. I mean, not just the the pre snap penalties, but the, I'm a minute, I get it. Goal. And I'll give Woody hand credit. He addressed it after the game. That call at the end of the first half when you're up seven three, you're at what your own 22 yard line, something like that, whatever. I don't have the exact yardage it was. And I say to my wife, I said, let's go meet our friends because they're just going to take a knee and get out of there. They don't take a knee and of all the things to do and out patterned. You've shown really no ability except the first series to actually move the boy at 12 seconds. What were you going to do with 12 seconds? If you're going to do anything,
go a hell man. He made me say it. Maybe later in the game, they showed exactly what you can do with 12 seconds. I mean, seriously, that was so dumb. 2485 3997, the reason these things get talked about preseason and camp, it's up to you to take them with a grain of salt. That's on you. I know. Here's what we know. There is a first for football information when football practice starts. And the media is programmed to give all the information. It's up to you, Michael Stone to have the discerning mind to not get carried away. That's why I've learned I don't give a crap anymore about that stuff. Morphe back coming in. Don't be surprised when it happens. The New Orleans Saints will beat the Lions and the Saints will win their division. That's from Jason. I don't see how. I mean, unless you think the quarter took us going to be really that good. I mean, yeah, they got HN. They have a great look. The key to me for the game on Sunday is can anybody stop a lave? That's it. That's my key. If
they can do that, they're going to win the game and probably win it pretty easily. The Saints, yeah, Chase Young has been at a good year last year. They say he looks terrific. I don't think Cameron Jordan might not play. I think the Lions win the game. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but if the Lions lose to the Saints, we got trouble in River City. If could the Saints win that division? I can see your way. The Saints could win that division. That's possible. That isn't the strongest division. The division does blow. I mean, Carolina won it last year. 248-539-9797. Kyle is in Toledo. Next, hello, Kyle. Hey guys, just calling regarding Michigan football and that Rhino offense, it looked so great. I looked it up and ran about 50% of the time in that game when we were on offense. I need to figure out the run game. That's our bread and butter. Especially with 6-0, I'm not there. It didn't look like they were stacking the box or anything like that. It just needs to be better overall.
Run that ball. Hopefully we can get a fix by next week. Well, Kyle, the Rhino was a big part of what Jason Beck ran at Utah. And Jason backed the offensive coordinator. They ran. I think that number was, I don't have them in front of me. I had them yesterday. 443 plays out of Rhino last year. And for people who don't know what the Rhino is, it's the sixth offensive lineman. They ran 443 plays out of Rhino with an extra offensive lineman. The next closest, Austin Meek, they have let it did a really interesting breakdown. The next close-in in the country was 80. Wow. And that's how much they love that offense a year ago. But here is something that I think is important to keep in mind. And that is that the Jason Beck has coordinated a top five rushing offense and another year a top five passing offense. So that tells me one would think that you can adjust to the skill set of the players that you have. And I would say first, you know, my first reaction that as well, the competition levels not graded
Utah, but they played Western Michigan on Saturday and looked like crap. So let's see what I have. Well, I mean, the competition at Utah, they were in the big 12. I know. So for some of the time. Yes, but he, I mean, when he was at, I think when they had the top five passing offense, he was at Virginia. I believe. Yeah, which was ACC. But again, I know I have my notes with me yesterday. 248, 539, 97, 97. Let's go to Mike and McComb. Hello, Mike. Good morning, gentlemen. I think one of the most frustrating things that I saw Saturday was, you know, the call at the end with the officials are looking at that that last second, of course. But earlier in that, it was either the second last drive of Westerns or the last drive, the blatant face mask that would have kept their drive going. And they showed it on replay. And it's just like you've got how many officials on the field and they don't see that,
but they've got to go over that partial second. Well, look, there are mis penalties in every game. I guess all the teams I'm not going to go that. But yeah, you're correct. That was right there. I know. It hit. Look, but, but I mean, how many games do you watch where you sit there say, how did they miss that? It happens. Okay. No, it does. I know, but you're talking about if they're going to go over, if they're going to go over the film to the minutia of a second, but they don't actually face mask isn't reviewable. Right. It would be bad. Yes. Because the greatest part about what they've just changed with replay is they call down and make changes without having to stop the game. Correct. That's fantastic. They've expedited the process. Yeah, and face mask isn't reviewable. But yeah, there was that was a miscall. There's examples of miss calls over and the timing issues are reviewable. Yes. Let's go to Matt, who's next on 971. Hi, Matt.
Hey, what's up, Doug and Sony. Hey, so for me, hey, I am every year in this happens every year. I'm so tired of the fair weather fans that text in. Oh my god, our team's going to lose a whole opener and they're going to do this and that Matt, we got about 30 seconds. I think the lines are going to smash the saints. Eighten hundreds is going to set up shop in the backfield, shuttled on the down. And I think, yeah, that's what I think. They're going to they're going to wreck the saints. Okay. I don't know how often teams get quote unquote wrecked in the NFL, but there have been harder openers on paper. And last year. Yeah. And this is the Saints team isn't a bunch of chumps. No, I think they're over under is eight and a half for seven and a half, but Carson Anderson 971.
