Cal Jennings

I think Danny gets the clean sheet.

First goal scorer, I'm going to go with Cal Jennings.

If he doesn't see the pitch, I'm going to go with Cal Edwards.

For the first assist, I'm going to go with Jack.

So I'm

going to go with Sack 2-0 with Memo scoring the first goal.

Cal Jennings is my backup.

Jack is our assist with Memo as my backup.

I'm sure this happens more often in Major League Soccer where you have guys join late.

But from from this perspective, we didn't say Cal Jennings from an attacking standpoint.

How long does it take for you in that situation before where you guys feel like you are comfortable knowing where they're going to be, where they want to get the ball at and things like that?

Yeah, I mean, it's it's.

I looked over their roster.

This is a redone roster from the team that we know that was playing like no Cal Jennings, no,

no forest, no Ted lasso.

Yeah.

So I'm going to go with him scoring the first goal.

And if he doesn't see the pitch, then I'll go with Cal Jennings.

And then for the first assist, I'm going to go with Memo.

Jack as the backup.

With only six goals on 8.95 expected goals during its sixth game unbeaten run, with the game in hand, four of its last seven at home, and all the current top three still to play, this is the stretch to turn the numbers into points.

And the all-I's I probably would have to say are on Cal Jennings after coming back overseas from playing in the third division of Japanese football.

He's come back.

He played against Phoenix Rising in late August.

And so we, we're, we may need him at some point here, uh, based on how things have gone.

So I, I also predict, you know, I still am, uh, I can't get it out of my head both the prettiest and ugliest goal I've ever seen in my life, Cal Edwards as a super sub bicycle assist to Cal Jennings.

The Cal Jennings part was ugly, and I think, um, I just, I did wanna respond after doing the play wa- watching back last episode.

I do think that, um, Edwards was probably shooting.

But he gets, but he gets the assist anyway on that bicycle.

Yeah, okay, so Gur was 8.5, and it was really obvious to all of us that he was incredible.

Cal Jennings, you know, I don't think he got the opportunities he's waiting for or he's used to getting.

And Malongo was kind of drifting in and out of losing the ball.

You know how...

You don't sub out Jack Curry.

He's having a wild-ass game, right? You know, we did sub out Malongo.

We did sub out Cal Jennings, you know, because game fitness, that kind of stuff.

Pep came out, you know, in the 90th minute.

Have we ever seen a strike tandem of this caliber and talent in the league's history with Lukaji and Andy Myers? I know I say that a lot, but This feels like it stands above the rest when you factor in LaCadia's CV and the fact that MD Myers, since he joined the league, has scored more goals than any other player.

Just to step back, Charleston had Rubio Rubin, MD Myers, and Cal Jennings in the same league.

This is true.

That's crazy.

Um, I think they're the top tier, but the playing results do not back that at all.

And for that reason, I would tell you they're second tier.

Because I'm with you that the potential and the framework of what Neil Collins has built with Cal Jennings in the mix is only rivaled by Tampa Bay in terms of the teams in this league when they've looked their very best.

There has not been consistent enough performance.
