Speaker 2: Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by best Buy Jamie

Speaker 2: two days of Good Morning Football. Rodney, thank you for

00:00:20,748 --> 00:00:23,788
Speaker 2: hanging with us. And Kyle Brant in New York. Kyle,

8
00:00:24,188 --> 00:00:26,428
Speaker 2: good morning to you after I just a warm, fuzzy

9
00:00:26,428 --> 00:00:28,028
Speaker 2: blanket of Monday night football last night.

10
00:00:29,428 --> 00:00:30,268
Speaker 3: Oh it was wonderful.

11
00:00:30,308 --> 00:00:32,868
Speaker 1: We had stars running around making plays. And Jamie keeps

12
00:00:32,908 --> 00:00:35,588
Speaker 1: asking me, what did the newspapers say about the Giants?

13
00:00:35,588 --> 00:00:37,308
Speaker 1: What are they saying about the Giants? And everyday morning

14
00:00:37,348 --> 00:00:39,348
Speaker 1: I say it's the Yankees or the Mets. They're always

15
00:00:39,708 --> 00:00:40,948
Speaker 1: and yet I come in this morning.

16
00:00:41,748 --> 00:00:42,788
Speaker 4: Jack's factor.

17
00:00:43,148 --> 00:00:45,948
Speaker 1: There is a big old love piece, the Jackson Dart

18
00:00:45,948 --> 00:00:46,948
Speaker 1: here in the New York Post.

19
00:00:47,028 --> 00:00:47,788
Speaker 4: We'll get into it.

20
00:00:47,908 --> 00:00:50,868
Speaker 1: There's a lot of buzz about the working folks.

21
00:00:50,908 --> 00:00:51,348
Speaker 4: We'll see.

22
00:00:51,428 --> 00:00:53,428
Speaker 1: Let's start the show and we'll talk about it later.

23
00:01:07,588 --> 00:01:12,468
Speaker 2: Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by best Buy. That's right,

24
00:01:12,548 --> 00:01:17,348
Speaker 2: Jamie Mantai, Kyle, Rodney, Rodney, did you guys have newspaper

25
00:01:17,348 --> 00:01:19,188
Speaker 2: treatment when you were playing in terms of it, was

26
00:01:19,228 --> 00:01:20,708
Speaker 2: it a good thing or a bad thing if you

27
00:01:20,708 --> 00:01:23,388
Speaker 2: were on the front or back page of a Detroit newspaper.

28
00:01:23,388 --> 00:01:25,268
Speaker 2: When you're playing the way that Jackson Dart's getting the

29
00:01:25,268 --> 00:01:26,068
Speaker 2: post treatment on.

30
00:01:26,028 --> 00:01:28,228
Speaker 5: The back page today, we were just when I was

31
00:01:28,228 --> 00:01:30,148
Speaker 5: in Detroit, we were just lucky to be in the paper.

32
00:01:32,548 --> 00:01:34,428
Speaker 5: I'm begging to be on the front cover.

33
00:01:34,628 --> 00:01:39,228
Speaker 2: Whatever, Kyle, hold it up. What's Jackson dark going on today?

34
00:01:39,268 --> 00:01:39,668
Speaker 6: In ink?

35
00:01:40,028 --> 00:01:42,948
Speaker 1: All right, So let's just break the segment a little bit,

36
00:01:43,028 --> 00:01:45,148
Speaker 1: so it says Jack's factor R.

37
00:01:45,228 --> 00:01:47,868
Speaker 4: This is a New York Post usually very.

38
00:01:47,708 --> 00:01:50,428
Speaker 1: Skeptical, if not scathing, but they're all optimistic right now.

39
00:01:50,468 --> 00:01:55,148
Speaker 4: And look at this, so man of the aura, and they're.

40
00:01:54,988 --> 00:01:58,708
Speaker 1: Talking about I did a little box score here. Listen

41
00:01:58,748 --> 00:02:01,268
Speaker 1: to the words that are used, the adjectives this morning

42
00:02:01,348 --> 00:02:03,988
Speaker 1: Jared Schwartz's piece on New York Giants. These are just

43
00:02:04,068 --> 00:02:10,468
Speaker 1: some more talked about the giants. Rookie appointment, viewing, captivating, aura, phenomenal,

44
00:02:10,788 --> 00:02:16,108
Speaker 1: tough guy, charisma, moxie, moxie again, dog is in there.

45
00:02:16,148 --> 00:02:19,228
Speaker 1: And then damn and guys, this is not a long article.

46
00:02:19,348 --> 00:02:22,228
Speaker 1: There's a pretty short piece on the Giants rookie who

47
00:02:22,268 --> 00:02:24,388
Speaker 1: is not going to be starting the opener. The question

48
00:02:24,508 --> 00:02:25,908
Speaker 1: is when will he be starting a game?

49
00:02:26,068 --> 00:02:29,068
Speaker 4: The post is in, the people are in Aura.

50
00:02:28,988 --> 00:02:31,868
Speaker 1: Moxie, dog damn, it's all over the place.

51
00:02:32,908 --> 00:02:34,468
Speaker 4: This guy's got to start at some point. We just

52
00:02:34,468 --> 00:02:35,148
Speaker 4: don't know what it is.

53
00:02:35,388 --> 00:02:37,828
Speaker 2: That was like a mad libs for a quarterback that

54
00:02:37,908 --> 00:02:40,908
Speaker 2: has a certain vibe about him, and frankly, Kyle, some

55
00:02:41,028 --> 00:02:43,428
Speaker 2: would have said the same thing about Joe Burrow when

56
00:02:43,428 --> 00:02:46,268
Speaker 2: he was having his ascent in Cincinnati. So what did

57
00:02:46,308 --> 00:02:48,068
Speaker 2: he have going on Monday Night football last night?

58
00:02:48,948 --> 00:02:49,708
Speaker 4: Let's find out.

59
00:02:49,788 --> 00:02:52,508
Speaker 1: Burrow, of course, drafted number one in the COVID draft

60
00:02:52,548 --> 00:02:55,748
Speaker 1: and started right away from the Bengals. Here's a guy

61
00:02:55,788 --> 00:02:57,868
Speaker 1: who's going to start right away from the Commanders, out

62
00:02:57,868 --> 00:02:58,348
Speaker 1: of the gates.

63
00:02:58,348 --> 00:02:58,868
Speaker 4: He was great.

64
00:02:58,908 --> 00:03:01,508
Speaker 1: He's out there playing, though Trey Henderson not playing.

65
00:03:02,228 --> 00:03:04,188
Speaker 2: Ian Rappaport, good morning to you, Welcome back to the

66
00:03:04,188 --> 00:03:07,548
Speaker 2: sh if you will. Once again we see Trey Henderson

67
00:03:07,748 --> 00:03:11,268
Speaker 2: at practice, engaging with the executives in Cincinnati at times.

68
00:03:11,348 --> 00:03:13,428
Speaker 2: The same could be said about Terry McLaurin over the

69
00:03:13,508 --> 00:03:16,468
Speaker 2: last month or two in Washington. Those are two big

70
00:03:16,508 --> 00:03:18,868
Speaker 2: stars on these teams. What is the latest with their

71
00:03:18,868 --> 00:03:19,948
Speaker 2: contract situations.

72
00:03:20,268 --> 00:03:22,348
Speaker 7: Well, I'm just laughing at Kyli giving us the Jake

73
00:03:22,388 --> 00:03:25,748
Speaker 7: Browning stats. That really was the highlight of the segment

74
00:03:25,828 --> 00:03:29,708
Speaker 7: for me. I wanted Kyle Jake Browning stats. This is

75
00:03:29,708 --> 00:03:31,908
Speaker 7: why we're here for the preseason. Yes, we may not

76
00:03:32,028 --> 00:03:35,948
Speaker 7: get to watch Jake Browning all season. Bengals fans hope

77
00:03:35,948 --> 00:03:38,828
Speaker 7: he never takes the field ever. I thought that was awesome. Actually,

78
00:03:38,868 --> 00:03:40,788
Speaker 7: the Bengals really like with the having Jake Browning. Let's

79
00:03:40,828 --> 00:03:44,828
Speaker 7: get to Trey Hendrickson, the Cincinnati Bengals star edge really

80
00:03:44,828 --> 00:03:47,548
Speaker 7: one of the big time topics this offseason. Yes, he

81
00:03:47,588 --> 00:03:50,748
Speaker 7: had a conversation with Duke Tobin, one of the chief

82
00:03:50,788 --> 00:03:53,948
Speaker 7: person element for the Cincinnati Bengals. Their their de facto

83
00:03:53,988 --> 00:03:56,828
Speaker 7: general manager on the field, and to see them chatting,

84
00:03:56,988 --> 00:03:58,828
Speaker 7: to see them having a conversation was to me at

85
00:03:58,948 --> 00:04:02,868
Speaker 7: least interesting considering what me and colleague Tom Pelisara reported

86
00:04:03,188 --> 00:04:05,268
Speaker 7: over the weekend, which was that the Bengals are at

87
00:04:05,388 --> 00:04:09,428
Speaker 7: least listening to offers for Hendrickson from team not saying

88
00:04:09,428 --> 00:04:13,028
Speaker 7: he's going to be traded and is extremely complicated to do.

89
00:04:13,308 --> 00:04:15,348
Speaker 7: The Bengals are going to want a lot, as they should.

90
00:04:15,348 --> 00:04:16,908
Speaker 7: They give me up one of the best players in

91
00:04:16,948 --> 00:04:18,508
Speaker 7: the NFL. They're going to want a really good young

92
00:04:18,508 --> 00:04:21,228
Speaker 7: player and a future pick. But at least it is

93
00:04:21,268 --> 00:04:22,308
Speaker 7: something they're considering.

94
00:04:22,348 --> 00:04:24,028
Speaker 4: Obviously, to make matters.

95
00:04:23,668 --> 00:04:27,068
Speaker 7: More complicated, the new team would have to sign Hendrickson

96
00:04:27,148 --> 00:04:30,628
Speaker 7: to a big new contract. More on that as it develops.

97
00:04:30,988 --> 00:04:33,988
Speaker 7: The Terry mcclaurin situation has also been lingering for the

98
00:04:34,148 --> 00:04:38,468
Speaker 7: Washington Commanders. He also Jessic Henderson did not play yesterday.

99
00:04:38,708 --> 00:04:42,308
Speaker 7: There's him signing autographs. He has now advanced in as

100
00:04:42,308 --> 00:04:43,948
Speaker 7: far as where he is in training. Give he is

101
00:04:44,028 --> 00:04:46,268
Speaker 7: off the few appeal lists. He is ramping up to

102
00:04:46,308 --> 00:04:48,948
Speaker 7: get to practice. A lot of times when a player

103
00:04:48,988 --> 00:04:51,508
Speaker 7: starts to be on the football field, football starts to

104
00:04:51,508 --> 00:04:53,748
Speaker 7: get new year, start to imagine him playing. That is

105
00:04:53,788 --> 00:04:56,788
Speaker 7: when contract talks really come into focus. They have not

106
00:04:56,948 --> 00:04:59,348
Speaker 7: come to a deal yet, you know they are having discussions.

107
00:04:59,388 --> 00:05:01,348
Speaker 7: They have not come to a deal yet. But at

108
00:05:01,428 --> 00:05:05,068
Speaker 7: least Terry mcclaurin is expected to practice a player who

109
00:05:05,108 --> 00:05:07,428
Speaker 7: did not play last night. And this has been something

110
00:05:07,468 --> 00:05:09,268
Speaker 7: that I think has been percolating over the course of

111
00:05:09,308 --> 00:05:11,908
Speaker 7: the last four eight hours or so. Brian Robinson Junior,

112
00:05:11,948 --> 00:05:15,988
Speaker 7: who has been the Washington Commanders starting running back for

113
00:05:16,188 --> 00:05:19,428
Speaker 7: the last three seasons. He in fact, has had his.

114
00:05:19,468 --> 00:05:20,788
Speaker 6: Name up in trade talks.

115
00:05:20,828 --> 00:05:24,148
Speaker 7: There is a very real possibility that Brian Robinson Junior

116
00:05:24,388 --> 00:05:27,908
Speaker 7: will be traded. And the fact that Bill Krossky Merritt

117
00:05:27,948 --> 00:05:30,668
Speaker 7: remember that name, especially for your fantasy draft, has really

118
00:05:30,748 --> 00:05:33,148
Speaker 7: jumped out for Commander's cap makes this even more of

119
00:05:33,148 --> 00:05:36,068
Speaker 7: a possibility. He did not play last night, ace he

120
00:05:36,108 --> 00:05:37,948
Speaker 7: gets injured. They want to make sure that if they

121
00:05:37,988 --> 00:05:41,908
Speaker 7: do trade him, he is healthy. I know they're interested shuitters,

122
00:05:42,148 --> 00:05:44,828
Speaker 7: So this one bears watching over the next two weeks.

123
00:05:44,908 --> 00:05:47,308
Speaker 2: Guys, all right, rap Sheet hangout because we had another

124
00:05:47,348 --> 00:05:48,788
Speaker 2: topic that we are going to check in with you

125
00:05:48,868 --> 00:05:50,788
Speaker 2: about in just a minute, but that moves us on two,

126
00:05:50,828 --> 00:05:52,508
Speaker 2: three and out. I believe the Bengals coming off of

127
00:05:52,508 --> 00:05:56,508
Speaker 2: disappointing twenty twenty four season, while the Commanders are looking

128
00:05:56,508 --> 00:05:59,828
Speaker 2: to navigate another Cinderella year. Which one of these two

129
00:05:59,828 --> 00:06:02,748
Speaker 2: teams do you think you are more eager to see

130
00:06:02,788 --> 00:06:03,988
Speaker 2: take the field in Week one?

131
00:06:04,068 --> 00:06:04,348
Speaker 4: Kyle?

132
00:06:04,508 --> 00:06:06,908
Speaker 2: Knowing their makeup as it stands right now.

133
00:06:06,868 --> 00:06:10,228
Speaker 1: It's a Bengals, It's just shocking off, you know, eighteen

134
00:06:10,268 --> 00:06:15,108
Speaker 1: twelve overture Da da da da D. I don't anticipate

135
00:06:15,188 --> 00:06:18,028
Speaker 1: their offense to be anything other than nuclear. I don't

136
00:06:18,028 --> 00:06:20,948
Speaker 1: anticipate their defense to be particularly good, especially if their

137
00:06:20,948 --> 00:06:23,668
Speaker 1: best player is not even out there. I said it

138
00:06:23,708 --> 00:06:26,188
Speaker 1: early in the show. I'll set it again. The record

139
00:06:26,188 --> 00:06:28,788
Speaker 1: for touchdown passes in a season is Peyton Manning. He

140
00:06:28,868 --> 00:06:32,308
Speaker 1: threw fifty five touchdown passes in twenty thirteen with the

141
00:06:32,348 --> 00:06:34,908
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos, and I think Joe Burrow's taking a run

142
00:06:34,908 --> 00:06:37,308
Speaker 1: at that this year, especially since he has another game

143
00:06:37,308 --> 00:06:39,268
Speaker 1: to do it. If you remember the twenty thirteen Broncos,

144
00:06:39,428 --> 00:06:42,508
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning debuted and through seven touchdowns in the first game.

145
00:06:42,708 --> 00:06:45,828
Speaker 1: He threw four touchdowns or more nine times. And all

146
00:06:45,868 --> 00:06:49,708
Speaker 1: of this seems like this crazy statistical nonsense.

147
00:06:50,068 --> 00:06:50,388
Speaker 3: It's not.

148
00:06:50,588 --> 00:06:51,628
Speaker 4: I think Burrow could.

149
00:06:51,468 --> 00:06:53,708
Speaker 1: Do it, and I think he'll have to do it.

150
00:06:53,788 --> 00:06:55,748
Speaker 1: Is also just so much tied into this team, This

151
00:06:55,828 --> 00:06:58,948
Speaker 1: Bengals team. They're so interesting, and this fact that they're

152
00:06:58,988 --> 00:07:01,268
Speaker 1: so flawed, and we know they had one of the

153
00:07:01,268 --> 00:07:04,348
Speaker 1: worst defenses in this era last year, and now they're

154
00:07:04,588 --> 00:07:06,188
Speaker 1: to take that defense and take their.

155
00:07:06,028 --> 00:07:08,148
Speaker 4: Best player off of it. It's so weird.

156
00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:10,548
Speaker 1: Maybe samar Stewart comes out and has this Rookie of

157
00:07:10,588 --> 00:07:13,148
Speaker 1: the Year season. But in the meantime, if you want

158
00:07:13,148 --> 00:07:14,868
Speaker 1: to tune in for football and see a guy just

159
00:07:14,988 --> 00:07:18,068
Speaker 1: chuck it. If that's your definition of entertainment, it's definitely mine.

160
00:07:18,108 --> 00:07:19,308
Speaker 1: I want to see the Bengals.

161
00:07:19,908 --> 00:07:20,668
Speaker 2: Roddy, what about you?

162
00:07:22,068 --> 00:07:24,468
Speaker 5: I'm with you because I think the Commanders make me

163
00:07:24,508 --> 00:07:26,548
Speaker 5: a little nervous. You know, we just heard about Brian

164
00:07:26,628 --> 00:07:29,028
Speaker 5: Robinson Junior not you know, maybe not being there, and

165
00:07:29,028 --> 00:07:31,788
Speaker 5: then you don't have scary Terry on the outside that

166
00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:35,148
Speaker 5: he relied on so much last year. So I'm a

167
00:07:35,148 --> 00:07:38,108
Speaker 5: little nervous about the Commanders. But the Bengals they're going

168
00:07:38,148 --> 00:07:40,748
Speaker 5: to be throwing parties every Sunday, and He's right, you know,

169
00:07:40,788 --> 00:07:42,308
Speaker 5: they're going to light up that scoreboard.

170
00:07:42,348 --> 00:07:42,788
Speaker 3: They're going to.

171
00:07:43,068 --> 00:07:46,188
Speaker 5: Probably be playing from behind most of the games that

172
00:07:46,228 --> 00:07:49,228
Speaker 5: they play in. So I'm looking for Joe Burrow, Higgins

173
00:07:49,268 --> 00:07:51,108
Speaker 5: and Chase to just light up the scoreboard.

174
00:07:51,668 --> 00:07:51,948
Speaker 3: Listen.

175
00:07:51,948 --> 00:07:53,508
Speaker 8: I was going to go Bengals too, but we can't

176
00:07:53,548 --> 00:07:54,748
Speaker 8: go through and or own this, so I'm going to

177
00:07:54,828 --> 00:07:55,548
Speaker 8: go Commanders, all right.

178
00:07:55,588 --> 00:07:56,788
Speaker 3: I want to see the Commanders play.

179
00:07:56,948 --> 00:07:58,988
Speaker 8: I think if you turn on the game last night,

180
00:07:59,268 --> 00:08:00,788
Speaker 8: the more exciting team is Commanders.

181
00:08:00,828 --> 00:08:03,828
Speaker 3: You have Jayden Daniels. Obviously, with all of this trade

182
00:08:03,868 --> 00:08:04,428
Speaker 3: talk with.

183
00:08:04,468 --> 00:08:08,028
Speaker 8: Robinson Junior, what does that mean for Austin Eckler. Is

184
00:08:08,108 --> 00:08:10,308
Speaker 8: ter McLaurin going to be their week one? If he

185
00:08:10,468 --> 00:08:13,148
Speaker 8: is great? If he's not, what's going to happen? Because

186
00:08:13,148 --> 00:08:16,028
Speaker 8: you heard a lot of narrative and then talk about

187
00:08:16,388 --> 00:08:19,188
Speaker 8: what it meant to not have Terry McLaurin out there,

188
00:08:19,188 --> 00:08:22,148
Speaker 8: not only from Cliff Kingsbury, but from Jaydon Daniels to

189
00:08:22,468 --> 00:08:24,988
Speaker 8: Bobby Wagner is just different. So that's what I want

190
00:08:25,028 --> 00:08:28,228
Speaker 8: to see as far as the excitement. Also, Von Miller

191
00:08:28,308 --> 00:08:31,228
Speaker 8: now going there, like what does he look like in situations?

192
00:08:31,228 --> 00:08:33,188
Speaker 8: We often compared him to Ray Allen going to the

193
00:08:33,228 --> 00:08:36,948
Speaker 8: Celtics leadings career and hitting game winning series winning shots,

194
00:08:36,988 --> 00:08:38,428
Speaker 8: Like what does that look like them?

195
00:08:38,588 --> 00:08:39,548
Speaker 3: For them defensively?

196
00:08:39,828 --> 00:08:42,188
Speaker 8: And they're in one of the hardest divisions in football

197
00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:43,068
Speaker 8: in the NFC East.

198
00:08:43,068 --> 00:08:44,828
Speaker 3: So I'm really looking forward to the Commanders.

199
00:08:45,988 --> 00:08:48,268
Speaker 1: Yeah, the case for the Commanders is they're a better team,

200
00:08:48,548 --> 00:08:49,868
Speaker 1: they play better football.

201
00:08:49,908 --> 00:08:52,668
Speaker 4: They don't have a better offense. The case against the Bengals.

202
00:08:52,708 --> 00:08:54,388
Speaker 1: And that's if they come out this year like they

203
00:08:54,388 --> 00:08:54,908
Speaker 1: did last year.

204
00:08:54,948 --> 00:08:57,068
Speaker 4: Who knows if they will. Is that it's nonsense.

205
00:08:57,108 --> 00:08:59,308
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to score thirty eight points and lose,

206
00:08:59,428 --> 00:09:01,628
Speaker 1: or thirty four and lose, or thirty three and lose,

207
00:09:01,748 --> 00:09:03,148
Speaker 1: or thirty eight again and lose.

208
00:09:03,428 --> 00:09:05,228
Speaker 4: It was terrible. They were not a good team.

209
00:09:05,668 --> 00:09:07,188
Speaker 1: They won a bunch of games at the end of

210
00:09:07,188 --> 00:09:08,748
Speaker 1: the season, but at one point that's a four and

211
00:09:08,828 --> 00:09:11,588
Speaker 1: eight team. And if you're someone who actually likes defense

212
00:09:11,628 --> 00:09:13,868
Speaker 1: and who likes a little bit lower scoring game, you'd

213
00:09:13,948 --> 00:09:16,148
Speaker 1: rather watch Washington play than Cincinnati.

214
00:09:16,188 --> 00:09:16,828
Speaker 4: That's the take.

215
00:09:17,268 --> 00:09:20,188
Speaker 1: I just went with Cincinnati because I'm just so intrigued.

216
00:09:20,348 --> 00:09:22,108
Speaker 1: You know, I've seen a lot of good teams. I

217
00:09:22,148 --> 00:09:23,788
Speaker 1: think Washington will be a good team. I know how

218
00:09:23,788 --> 00:09:25,508
Speaker 1: it's gonna go for them. I have a good feeling

219
00:09:25,508 --> 00:09:27,508
Speaker 1: for it. At the Bengals, I don't know. I don't

220
00:09:27,508 --> 00:09:29,708
Speaker 1: know right out of the gates week one, I mean today,

221
00:09:29,788 --> 00:09:32,828
Speaker 1: lose to the Joe Flacco Browns week one wouldn't surprise anybody.

222
00:09:33,068 --> 00:09:34,508
Speaker 4: So there's an intrigue.

223
00:09:34,068 --> 00:09:36,508
Speaker 1: With them, and like an unveilion of what the hell

224
00:09:36,548 --> 00:09:38,468
Speaker 1: they're gonna look like, that's what I'm interested in.

225
00:09:39,028 --> 00:09:41,468
Speaker 8: Well, the reason why I went with the Bengals initially

226
00:09:41,548 --> 00:09:44,988
Speaker 8: KB was I think there's there's this experiment that Zach

227
00:09:45,028 --> 00:09:47,508
Speaker 8: Taylor is going through with his starters, like this is

228
00:09:47,548 --> 00:09:49,908
Speaker 8: the most the starters have ever played in the preseason,

229
00:09:50,108 --> 00:09:52,948
Speaker 8: and I started to try to ask why, Well, if

230
00:09:52,948 --> 00:09:54,788
Speaker 8: you think about the Bengals the past three years, they've

231
00:09:54,788 --> 00:09:57,028
Speaker 8: had slow starts the past three years. As a matter

232
00:09:57,028 --> 00:09:58,748
Speaker 8: of fact, they went two and two and twenty two

233
00:09:59,388 --> 00:10:01,148
Speaker 8: one in three and twenty three and one three and

234
00:10:01,188 --> 00:10:03,188
Speaker 8: twenty four. They lost the first two games of each

235
00:10:03,228 --> 00:10:05,828
Speaker 8: of those seasons in the past two years. So in

236
00:10:05,868 --> 00:10:07,868
Speaker 8: my head, I'm thinking, maybe he's trying to get those

237
00:10:07,908 --> 00:10:10,228
Speaker 8: losses out of the way. Maybe he's trying to hopefully

238
00:10:10,308 --> 00:10:12,548
Speaker 8: that they're hitting their stride, which they usually do around

239
00:10:12,588 --> 00:10:15,388
Speaker 8: game three or four of the season, hopefully. Maybe he's

240
00:10:15,388 --> 00:10:17,268
Speaker 8: trying to get all of that stuff and start Week

241
00:10:17,348 --> 00:10:19,668
Speaker 8: one the way they started Week three and Week four in.

242
00:10:19,668 --> 00:10:20,588
Speaker 3: The past couple of years.

243
00:10:20,668 --> 00:10:23,468
Speaker 8: So I wanted to see if that actually works for

244
00:10:23,468 --> 00:10:23,908
Speaker 8: the Bengals.

245
00:10:23,908 --> 00:10:25,028
Speaker 3: So that's why I had the Bengals.

246
00:10:25,068 --> 00:10:26,868
Speaker 2: I bet Well, there's been a couple of players on

247
00:10:26,908 --> 00:10:28,828
Speaker 2: the West Coast that we have yet to see at

248
00:10:28,868 --> 00:10:31,628
Speaker 2: the quarterback spot, and that's Matthew Stafford. Rams head coach

249
00:10:31,668 --> 00:10:34,668
Speaker 2: Sean McVay is eager to see Stafford on the field

250
00:10:34,668 --> 00:10:38,348
Speaker 2: week one, when LA plays host to Houston right across

251
00:10:38,348 --> 00:10:40,468
Speaker 2: the tree from us here at SOFI Stadium. McVeigh gave

252
00:10:40,468 --> 00:10:43,188
Speaker 2: an update on his quarterback after they practiced yesterday.

253
00:10:44,788 --> 00:10:46,548
Speaker 9: I thought he did a good job today and you know,

254
00:10:46,588 --> 00:10:49,388
Speaker 9: we had twenty six plays of team and he did

255
00:10:49,428 --> 00:10:51,348
Speaker 9: a really nice job of managing the huddle. I thought

256
00:10:51,348 --> 00:10:53,228
Speaker 9: he saw the field well. I thought he went where

257
00:10:53,228 --> 00:10:56,068
Speaker 9: the ball should go. And there's some good competitive work

258
00:10:56,108 --> 00:10:57,028
Speaker 9: on both sides today.

259
00:10:57,228 --> 00:10:57,428
Speaker 4: Yeah.

260
00:10:57,428 --> 00:10:59,348
Speaker 9: I think what's really happened is is when you look

261
00:10:59,388 --> 00:11:01,668
Speaker 9: at it, you know, there was a lot of things

262
00:11:01,668 --> 00:11:03,908
Speaker 9: that we had talked about at the beginning, and you know,

263
00:11:03,988 --> 00:11:05,708
Speaker 9: it's kind of gone a little bit differently than what

264
00:11:05,748 --> 00:11:07,428
Speaker 9: we had planned. And I think the right thing to

265
00:11:07,508 --> 00:11:10,228
Speaker 9: do for everybody involved is truly take it a day

266
00:11:10,228 --> 00:11:12,988
Speaker 9: at a time. I think where I've gotten, you know, myself,

267
00:11:13,108 --> 00:11:14,908
Speaker 9: I don't even want to say myself, but you know,

268
00:11:14,948 --> 00:11:17,228
Speaker 9: you set expectations and it's really like, you know, as

269
00:11:17,228 --> 00:11:19,188
Speaker 9: we're getting a grasp of this, and you know, he's

270
00:11:19,228 --> 00:11:21,228
Speaker 9: doing everything in his power, and Reggie and our group

271
00:11:21,228 --> 00:11:23,508
Speaker 9: are doing everything in their power. And that's where you

272
00:11:23,588 --> 00:11:25,588
Speaker 9: just take it a day at a time because it's

273
00:11:25,588 --> 00:11:28,668
Speaker 9: a very fluid and you know situation that you know

274
00:11:28,708 --> 00:11:30,228
Speaker 9: demands flexibility as well.

275
00:11:31,508 --> 00:11:34,068
Speaker 2: Fluid flexibility and still taking it one day at a time.

276
00:11:34,108 --> 00:11:36,388
Speaker 2: But Staffor practice yesterday, raps sheet, get back in here

277
00:11:36,428 --> 00:11:40,268
Speaker 2: please and rap report. We understand what the coach said,

278
00:11:40,308 --> 00:11:43,468
Speaker 2: We understand that practice in a certain way yesterday for

279
00:11:43,508 --> 00:11:45,748
Speaker 2: the Rams. But what are you hearing is the latest

280
00:11:45,788 --> 00:11:48,388
Speaker 2: and the goings ons of the QB one with the Rams.

281
00:11:48,708 --> 00:11:50,228
Speaker 7: First of all, the fact that QB one for the

282
00:11:50,308 --> 00:11:53,508
Speaker 7: Rams was on the field yesterday was a very, very

283
00:11:53,548 --> 00:11:56,988
Speaker 7: big deal. Cannot possibly overstate this. This is really what

284
00:11:57,028 --> 00:11:59,748
Speaker 7: we've been waiting for over the last several weeks and

285
00:12:00,068 --> 00:12:02,668
Speaker 7: months for Matthew Stafford. He has been dealing with an

286
00:12:02,708 --> 00:12:08,108
Speaker 7: aggravated disc in epidural. He has thrown two separate times

287
00:12:08,548 --> 00:12:11,268
Speaker 7: for the Los Angeles Rams, hoping that he would be

288
00:12:11,268 --> 00:12:13,788
Speaker 7: able to bounce back enough to get back on the field.

289
00:12:13,868 --> 00:12:16,708
Speaker 7: The first time, which was two weeks ago. I believe

290
00:12:16,908 --> 00:12:19,028
Speaker 7: it didn't happen. Through and then was not.

291
00:12:19,068 --> 00:12:20,188
Speaker 4: Able to practice for a week.

292
00:12:20,228 --> 00:12:22,148
Speaker 7: The Rams were just trying to get to a point

293
00:12:22,388 --> 00:12:25,708
Speaker 7: where they got some improvement, got some positive momentum first back,

294
00:12:25,868 --> 00:12:28,068
Speaker 7: and he was able to practice the fact that he

295
00:12:28,148 --> 00:12:30,748
Speaker 7: was able to do it yesterday is an excellent sign.

296
00:12:30,788 --> 00:12:33,628
Speaker 7: He didn't do sixty throws. It's more like in the twenties.

297
00:12:33,828 --> 00:12:36,068
Speaker 7: He took it real easy on him because the goal

298
00:12:36,148 --> 00:12:37,468
Speaker 7: is not to go out and play game. He's not

299
00:12:37,468 --> 00:12:39,148
Speaker 7: going to go out and play a game tomorrow. The

300
00:12:39,708 --> 00:12:41,708
Speaker 7: goal is to get him back on the practice field

301
00:12:41,748 --> 00:12:45,228
Speaker 7: at some point soon. Maybe it's today, maybe it's tomorrow.

302
00:12:45,508 --> 00:12:49,908
Speaker 7: The hope is no setbacks, improvement, and stat Stafford is

303
00:12:49,908 --> 00:12:52,708
Speaker 7: able to be upright for week one. And the reality

304
00:12:52,828 --> 00:12:56,348
Speaker 7: is it is a long season. Stafford has been through

305
00:12:56,388 --> 00:12:58,708
Speaker 7: it and he is very good. The only thing that

306
00:12:58,748 --> 00:13:01,468
Speaker 7: matters is to get him at full health to week one,

307
00:13:01,788 --> 00:13:03,788
Speaker 7: and a very big step in that direction.

308
00:13:03,548 --> 00:13:07,348
Speaker 2: Yesterday, Rapchiet, thanks so much. The hope is is what

309
00:13:07,388 --> 00:13:09,148
Speaker 2: Ian just laid out. But it's also so we can

310
00:13:09,228 --> 00:13:11,788
Speaker 2: stop using words like take it one day at a time,

311
00:13:11,948 --> 00:13:14,508
Speaker 2: or this we have to be flexible about this, or fluid.

312
00:13:15,028 --> 00:13:17,028
Speaker 2: But speaking of fluid, here comes the question at hand

313
00:13:17,068 --> 00:13:18,708
Speaker 2: when it comes to Matthew Stafford, Kyle, you have to

314
00:13:18,708 --> 00:13:22,028
Speaker 2: go first on this is your cup half full or

315
00:13:22,108 --> 00:13:25,268
Speaker 2: half empty when it comes to your investment and the

316
00:13:25,308 --> 00:13:27,268
Speaker 2: outlook of the first couple weeks for the season for

317
00:13:27,428 --> 00:13:29,748
Speaker 2: the Rams with Matthew Stafford's health in mind.

318
00:13:30,868 --> 00:13:32,068
Speaker 4: Well, personally, I don't have.

319
00:13:32,068 --> 00:13:34,388
Speaker 1: A cup, but I do have a scale, and I

320
00:13:34,428 --> 00:13:36,548
Speaker 1: have the staff con scale with which we measure our

321
00:13:36,628 --> 00:13:40,588
Speaker 1: concern and the emergency status of Matthew Stafford's help.

322
00:13:40,748 --> 00:13:42,668
Speaker 4: Let's bring it up. We've been tracking this for a while.

323
00:13:42,748 --> 00:13:43,548
Speaker 4: Here's the levels.

324
00:13:43,868 --> 00:13:46,108
Speaker 1: Level five, Oh, it's still early lol. And then you

325
00:13:46,148 --> 00:13:49,348
Speaker 1: get more concerning the vibes are off may day, may day,

326
00:13:49,748 --> 00:13:52,908
Speaker 1: dry heaving, and level one save us Jimmy g That

327
00:13:53,028 --> 00:13:55,508
Speaker 1: is the level we go to if Jimmy Garoppolo is

328
00:13:55,548 --> 00:13:57,068
Speaker 1: going to start the season for the La Rams.

329
00:13:57,108 --> 00:13:59,188
Speaker 4: We don't want to see that. So where are we

330
00:13:59,348 --> 00:14:01,388
Speaker 4: right now? Let's start bouncing the scale.

331
00:14:01,428 --> 00:14:03,108
Speaker 1: You might think I was with the vibes draft before,

332
00:14:03,148 --> 00:14:05,788
Speaker 1: but he's practicing right. So put him up to it's

333
00:14:05,788 --> 00:14:09,268
Speaker 1: still early, lol. You animate the thing and move it.

334
00:14:09,268 --> 00:14:11,468
Speaker 1: It's still no, I'm.

335
00:14:11,308 --> 00:14:11,948
Speaker 3: Not doing that.

336
00:14:12,268 --> 00:14:13,868
Speaker 4: Knock him down to the vibes are off.

337
00:14:14,228 --> 00:14:16,068
Speaker 1: I don't think it's still early lol.

338
00:14:16,148 --> 00:14:18,788
Speaker 4: I think the vibes are off. If we can adjust

339
00:14:18,828 --> 00:14:20,468
Speaker 4: it or not, we'll work on it. I have it

340
00:14:20,508 --> 00:14:22,108
Speaker 4: at level four, put.

341
00:14:21,908 --> 00:14:23,388
Speaker 3: It on level four. There we go.

342
00:14:23,948 --> 00:14:25,788
Speaker 1: I don't care that he had one practice yet. I

343
00:14:25,828 --> 00:14:28,748
Speaker 1: will not upgrade him to level five until we see

344
00:14:28,748 --> 00:14:32,588
Speaker 1: how he recovers from that practice, until the dialogue changes

345
00:14:32,628 --> 00:14:34,948
Speaker 1: around him, like you mentioned, Jamie, until we can have

346
00:14:34,988 --> 00:14:37,388
Speaker 1: a single conversation with Matthew Stafford that doesn't have the

347
00:14:37,428 --> 00:14:40,388
Speaker 1: words fluid flexibility or the phrase one day at a time.

348
00:14:40,668 --> 00:14:42,228
Speaker 4: I will keep him at level four.

349
00:14:42,548 --> 00:14:42,868
Speaker 3: Now.

350
00:14:43,348 --> 00:14:46,748
Speaker 1: If he's off the practice field again, meaning that he

351
00:14:46,908 --> 00:14:52,028
Speaker 1: was out there throwing and aggravated something, then we may

352
00:14:52,068 --> 00:14:54,388
Speaker 1: go to may Day. But right now I am locking

353
00:14:54,468 --> 00:14:57,668
Speaker 1: at level four. I still still think.

354
00:14:57,508 --> 00:14:59,868
Speaker 4: The vibes are off. The visuals are better, the vibes

355
00:14:59,908 --> 00:15:00,428
Speaker 4: are still off.

356
00:15:00,428 --> 00:15:00,708
Speaker 3: May Day.

357
00:15:00,748 --> 00:15:02,668
Speaker 2: May day is actually what the production staff says when

358
00:15:02,748 --> 00:15:05,348
Speaker 2: Kyle asks them to live chain change the staff con

359
00:15:05,468 --> 00:15:09,988
Speaker 2: seal number. But we got there. We did agree. Okay,

360
00:15:10,068 --> 00:15:13,668
Speaker 2: there's no panic, Rodney, where are you with half half full?

361
00:15:14,828 --> 00:15:16,468
Speaker 5: Are we going with the scale?

362
00:15:18,228 --> 00:15:18,668
Speaker 2: The scale?

363
00:15:18,908 --> 00:15:19,148
Speaker 3: I do?

364
00:15:19,628 --> 00:15:22,668
Speaker 5: I like, I like Kyle Scale put it. I'm with

365
00:15:22,748 --> 00:15:27,388
Speaker 5: you on the vibes are off, okay, because you can Yeah,

366
00:15:27,588 --> 00:15:30,028
Speaker 5: vibes are off. Level four, Yeah, level four. The vibes

367
00:15:30,028 --> 00:15:33,388
Speaker 5: are off. So you know, you can simulate a lot

368
00:15:33,388 --> 00:15:36,228
Speaker 5: of things for a quarterback. You can't simulate in practice

369
00:15:36,748 --> 00:15:39,588
Speaker 5: getting hit. Yeah, because quarterbacks don't get hit in practice.

370
00:15:39,628 --> 00:15:39,828
Speaker 3: Right.

371
00:15:40,188 --> 00:15:42,748
Speaker 5: It won't happen until week one, so we really won't

372
00:15:42,748 --> 00:15:45,748
Speaker 5: know how he responds until he gets hit. So to me,

373
00:15:45,868 --> 00:15:47,708
Speaker 5: the vibes are off on this one until we see.

374
00:15:47,588 --> 00:15:48,028
Speaker 3: Him getting it.

375
00:15:48,108 --> 00:15:50,708
Speaker 2: It's a good point, Robbie, because the second he gets

376
00:15:50,748 --> 00:15:52,828
Speaker 2: taken down or week one of the season, fans might

377
00:15:52,828 --> 00:15:55,948
Speaker 2: be dry heaving immediately because like it might that thing

378
00:15:56,028 --> 00:15:58,948
Speaker 2: might be just because he starts week one. It's just

379
00:15:59,028 --> 00:16:01,028
Speaker 2: this thing will go hey wire the second he takes

380
00:16:01,028 --> 00:16:02,108
Speaker 2: a real, live action hit.

381
00:16:03,108 --> 00:16:04,068
Speaker 3: I'm answering a question.

382
00:16:04,148 --> 00:16:06,668
Speaker 8: Okay, well, okay, question is it's your cup half full

383
00:16:07,228 --> 00:16:08,188
Speaker 8: or half empty?

384
00:16:09,068 --> 00:16:10,468
Speaker 3: My cup is fully empty?

385
00:16:10,588 --> 00:16:12,268
Speaker 8: All right, I'm going to answer it, but I'm not

386
00:16:12,268 --> 00:16:14,188
Speaker 8: going to answer my cup is fully empty. I don't

387
00:16:14,268 --> 00:16:16,588
Speaker 8: drank all the kool aid that is the la rams. Okay,

388
00:16:16,788 --> 00:16:19,348
Speaker 8: I had the blue Raspberry lemonade. If you ever saw

389
00:16:19,388 --> 00:16:21,868
Speaker 8: the label. It's exact colors of the La Rams. A

390
00:16:21,868 --> 00:16:23,908
Speaker 8: matter of fact, it looks like Matt Stafford in that

391
00:16:23,988 --> 00:16:27,748
Speaker 8: red jersey with the line with the Rams colors behind them.

392
00:16:27,788 --> 00:16:30,628
Speaker 3: I done drank the kool Aid that is the La Rams.

393
00:16:30,668 --> 00:16:32,228
Speaker 8: I had a sim of it in the divisional round

394
00:16:32,228 --> 00:16:34,468
Speaker 8: where they played the Egles. I had faith when I

395
00:16:34,508 --> 00:16:37,188
Speaker 8: saw that young nucleus of a defense, and then when

396
00:16:37,228 --> 00:16:40,188
Speaker 8: they signed Devonte Adams, I drank the whole pitcher.

397
00:16:40,268 --> 00:16:43,268
Speaker 3: Okay, so I'm not half empty. I'm not half full.

398
00:16:43,508 --> 00:16:44,668

Speaker 2: trying to keep track of what everyone said about different teams.

407
00:17:01,428 --> 00:17:03,228
Speaker 2: all thirty two. At this point, I can't keep track

Speaker 2: of who you're going to have a part of predict week.

409

431
00:18:07,148 --> 00:18:10,188
Speaker 10: professional football team, and he looked me dead in the

440
00:18:31,948 --> 00:18:34,948
Speaker 2: Absolutely so, Charlotte. I saw you last week at the

441
00:18:34,988 --> 00:18:40,388
Speaker 2: premiere of this unprecedented access to this team, of this

442
00:18:40,748 --> 00:18:44,708
Speaker 2: documentary by Netflix. The perspective and the storytelling that what

443
00:18:44,828 --> 00:18:48,068
Speaker 2: people will watch is truly remarkable. When we go back

444
00:18:48,108 --> 00:18:49,988
Speaker 2: and look at that clip there we are at the party.

445
00:18:49,988 --> 00:18:53,708
Speaker 2: It was lovely to see you, Charlotte. What is one

446
00:18:53,788 --> 00:18:56,388
Speaker 2: thing you and I had this conversation actually right there

447
00:18:56,388 --> 00:18:58,188
Speaker 2: at that table that we took that picture at. What

448
00:18:58,348 --> 00:19:01,188
Speaker 2: is the one thing that your dad didn't know when

449
00:19:01,268 --> 00:19:05,428
Speaker 2: he brought Dallas football into your family. How did you

450
00:19:05,468 --> 00:19:08,748
Speaker 2: guys navigate that experience because, as you said it, you

451
00:19:08,748 --> 00:19:10,508
Speaker 2: guys were flying blind as a group.

452
00:19:11,548 --> 00:19:14,468
Speaker 10: Yes, you know, I have such a vivid memory of

453
00:19:14,468 --> 00:19:16,908
Speaker 10: that day. You know, they say when traumatic things happened

454
00:19:16,948 --> 00:19:20,268
Speaker 10: to you, you never forget them, and that day was

455
00:19:20,388 --> 00:19:23,908
Speaker 10: one of them. And I just remember him telling us,

456
00:19:24,068 --> 00:19:26,428
Speaker 10: and it really is the only time he has ever

457
00:19:26,748 --> 00:19:30,708
Speaker 10: underestimated something that he has said. And he told us,

458
00:19:30,748 --> 00:19:33,988
Speaker 10: you know, if I do this, this just may change

459
00:19:33,988 --> 00:19:35,268
Speaker 10: our life a little.

460
00:19:36,628 --> 00:19:37,708
Speaker 6: And then all we went.

461
00:19:37,588 --> 00:19:42,428
Speaker 10: On this incredible journey of being involved with this iconic

462
00:19:42,468 --> 00:19:46,548
Speaker 10: franchise and I think even at that moment, as passionate

463
00:19:46,628 --> 00:19:48,108
Speaker 10: as my dad was.

464
00:19:48,108 --> 00:19:50,748
Speaker 6: About wanting to be involved with the cowboys.

465
00:19:50,708 --> 00:19:55,308
Speaker 10: That we truly didn't get the magnitude of what we

466
00:19:55,308 --> 00:19:58,948
Speaker 10: were stepping into. And I think, boy, you know, I

467
00:19:58,948 --> 00:20:02,668
Speaker 10: know when I watched the first episode, I was almost

468
00:20:02,708 --> 00:20:07,188
Speaker 10: sick at my stomach and I had a little like DSDH.

469
00:20:08,548 --> 00:20:12,388
Speaker 10: That was like a really really really difficult time. And

470
00:20:13,148 --> 00:20:16,388
Speaker 10: you know, since then, it's like all of these incredible

471
00:20:16,388 --> 00:20:21,868
Speaker 10: opportunities have been cloaked in like dramatic challenge and how

472
00:20:22,148 --> 00:20:24,348
Speaker 10: you know, havew have we sifted through all all of

473
00:20:24,428 --> 00:20:28,228
Speaker 10: the the rough stuff to bring about what has been

474
00:20:28,268 --> 00:20:32,028
Speaker 10: so positive about this experience? And I think this docu

475
00:20:32,108 --> 00:20:35,588
Speaker 10: series really shows that. It takes you back in time,

476
00:20:35,788 --> 00:20:38,828
Speaker 10: so you feel all of the you feel all the hatred,

477
00:20:39,468 --> 00:20:42,468
Speaker 10: you feel, you know, all the passion, which you know,

478
00:20:42,508 --> 00:20:45,588
Speaker 10: oddly enough, it's it's you know, you want people to

479
00:20:45,628 --> 00:20:46,788
Speaker 10: be passionate.

480
00:20:46,388 --> 00:20:48,108
Speaker 6: About Dallas Cowboys.

481
00:20:48,228 --> 00:20:50,668
Speaker 10: So all the it's love and it's hate, and it's

482
00:20:50,748 --> 00:20:53,948
Speaker 10: anger and it's excitement and it's all these things. And

483
00:20:54,188 --> 00:20:57,028
Speaker 10: we start day one and revisit all of that.

484
00:20:57,548 --> 00:21:00,868
Speaker 8: Hi, Charlotte, I know it's been a tremendous, tremendous journey

485
00:21:00,908 --> 00:21:02,508
Speaker 8: for you and your family. It's been amazing for us

486
00:21:02,548 --> 00:21:04,068
Speaker 8: to see. I know it's different for you guys to

487
00:21:04,108 --> 00:21:06,828
Speaker 8: have of it. But this piece on Netflix is called

488
00:21:06,868 --> 00:21:10,108
Speaker 8: the Gambler for a reason because Jerry, well, he wasn't

489
00:21:10,148 --> 00:21:13,148
Speaker 8: afraid to take risks outside of buying the team.

490
00:21:13,508 --> 00:21:16,108
Speaker 3: In your eyes, what's the biggest risk that he took?

491
00:21:17,228 --> 00:21:19,908
Speaker 6: Do you know? I think it's like every day has

492
00:21:19,988 --> 00:21:20,908
Speaker 6: been the risk.

493
00:21:21,188 --> 00:21:25,228
Speaker 10: First, you know, was the financial risk, because clearly he

494
00:21:25,268 --> 00:21:27,268
Speaker 10: didn't really have the revenue to.

495
00:21:27,268 --> 00:21:29,428
Speaker 6: Back up the purchase. And I think this is what's.

496
00:21:29,188 --> 00:21:32,748
Speaker 10: So interesting about the story because I think today's world,

497
00:21:33,268 --> 00:21:36,788
Speaker 10: you see new ownership come in with different leagues, different teams,

498
00:21:37,228 --> 00:21:41,508
Speaker 10: and they have an established you know, success and net

499
00:21:41,548 --> 00:21:43,548
Speaker 10: worth that they're coming in and being a part of

500
00:21:43,588 --> 00:21:46,908
Speaker 10: something that they love. This was very different for us

501
00:21:46,948 --> 00:21:50,868
Speaker 10: because it was everything that we had, so there was

502
00:21:50,948 --> 00:21:52,788
Speaker 10: no opportunity for a failure.

503
00:21:52,908 --> 00:21:55,348
Speaker 6: You had to figure out how to make it work.

504
00:21:55,508 --> 00:21:59,228
Speaker 10: And I think that everyday heartbeat of we're losing thirty

505
00:21:59,228 --> 00:22:01,068
Speaker 10: five thousand dollars a day, we're losing this money.

506
00:22:01,748 --> 00:22:03,748
Speaker 6: How you stop that bleeding?

507
00:22:04,068 --> 00:22:07,108
Speaker 10: And how how do we then become successful on the field,

508
00:22:07,588 --> 00:22:10,468
Speaker 10: and so both of those were running parallel to each other,

509
00:22:11,028 --> 00:22:13,828
Speaker 10: so feeling kind of that drama of every day.

510
00:22:14,268 --> 00:22:17,868
Speaker 6: So every decision was a risk. So buying the team

511
00:22:17,988 --> 00:22:18,188
Speaker 6: was a.

512
00:22:18,268 --> 00:22:23,348
Speaker 10: Risk, Trading herschel Walker was a risk. Carrie Johnson was

513
00:22:23,548 --> 00:22:26,428
Speaker 10: a risk. I mean, he had never coached in the NFL,

514
00:22:26,588 --> 00:22:29,308
Speaker 10: and here, you know, he dropped in to this situation.

515
00:22:29,868 --> 00:22:33,468
Speaker 10: So it was almost like every single decision that was

516
00:22:33,548 --> 00:22:34,988
Speaker 10: made was risky.

517
00:22:36,628 --> 00:22:38,948
Speaker 1: That's such a great answer, and I totally buy into it,

518
00:22:39,308 --> 00:22:41,388
Speaker 1: you know, Charlotte. I had this experience recently where I

519
00:22:41,388 --> 00:22:43,468
Speaker 1: got to sit with Emitt Smith and Michael Irvin and

520
00:22:43,588 --> 00:22:45,748
Speaker 1: watch one of the old games from the nineties together,

521
00:22:45,988 --> 00:22:47,828
Speaker 1: and this was from the ninety five season in which

522
00:22:47,908 --> 00:22:50,548
Speaker 1: Barry Switzer was the coach, and yet I found that

523
00:22:50,588 --> 00:22:54,828
Speaker 1: Emmitt and Irv just constantly kept saying, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy.

524
00:22:55,148 --> 00:22:57,308
Speaker 1: It felt in so many ways like he had such

525
00:22:57,388 --> 00:22:59,588
Speaker 1: a looming presence over the organization.

526
00:22:59,908 --> 00:23:01,548
Speaker 4: It's a big part of the documentary.

527
00:23:01,548 --> 00:23:04,748
Speaker 1: Of course, when you look back at Jimmy Johnson time

528
00:23:04,788 --> 00:23:07,348
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys and the end of it, what do

529
00:23:07,428 --> 00:23:08,388
Speaker 1: you remember.

530
00:23:09,108 --> 00:23:11,788
Speaker 10: Oh boy, I remember that we all we could think

531
00:23:11,788 --> 00:23:13,628
Speaker 10: of is, well, thank goodness, we've got Jimmy.

532
00:23:14,548 --> 00:23:17,268
Speaker 6: He can get it here, help us figure out how, you.

533
00:23:17,188 --> 00:23:20,228
Speaker 10: Know, what we're doing and what is happening. And there

534
00:23:20,228 --> 00:23:23,708
Speaker 10: were so many parts of the story back then of

535
00:23:24,068 --> 00:23:28,228
Speaker 10: the puzzle because the game was very, very different back then.

536
00:23:28,348 --> 00:23:31,188
Speaker 10: You know, there was there was no free agency, the

537
00:23:31,828 --> 00:23:34,428
Speaker 10: draft was different. You know, how you acquired players were

538
00:23:34,468 --> 00:23:37,068
Speaker 10: different there, you know, just there there was no cap,

539
00:23:37,228 --> 00:23:40,988
Speaker 10: you know, all those things, and then actually turning around

540
00:23:41,028 --> 00:23:44,948
Speaker 10: to make the players be successful. How could you do that?

541
00:23:45,068 --> 00:23:47,788
Speaker 10: And who who was going to actually be on the field,

542
00:23:48,228 --> 00:23:50,748
Speaker 10: all of those decisions. You know, you were just so

543
00:23:50,828 --> 00:23:55,028
Speaker 10: grateful that someone was equally as passionate as you were

544
00:23:55,548 --> 00:23:58,668
Speaker 10: about what we were doing. And you know, every step

545
00:23:58,788 --> 00:24:02,668
Speaker 10: was filled with such controversy that you know, when Jimmy

546
00:24:02,708 --> 00:24:07,468
Speaker 10: came in, we were all the controversy together, and so

547
00:24:07,668 --> 00:24:11,628
Speaker 10: he was being heavily criticized, My father was being heavily criticized.

548
00:24:11,668 --> 00:24:16,428
Speaker 10: Everything we did had that scrutiny to it. And you know,

549
00:24:16,588 --> 00:24:19,428
Speaker 10: you want people to be passionate about what you do, but.

550
00:24:19,868 --> 00:24:24,348
Speaker 6: Man, were they passionate about all of it? And we

551
00:24:24,428 --> 00:24:26,748
Speaker 6: enjoy that, you know today I mean, that's kind.

552
00:24:26,628 --> 00:24:29,508
Speaker 10: Of the you know, you don't get here without challenge,

553
00:24:29,868 --> 00:24:32,948
Speaker 10: and that's that's also an added motivation.

554
00:24:33,188 --> 00:24:37,988
Speaker 5: I think, Hey, Charlotte, look, I was lucky enough to

555
00:24:38,028 --> 00:24:40,908
Speaker 5: be a cowboy in nineteen ninety four and one of

556
00:24:40,988 --> 00:24:43,908
Speaker 5: the best years of my life. First class organization all

557
00:24:43,908 --> 00:24:46,908
Speaker 5: the way, and trust me, coming from Detroit, no disrespect,

558
00:24:47,308 --> 00:24:52,388
Speaker 5: it was night and day. But during that time there

559
00:24:52,388 --> 00:24:55,908
Speaker 5: were larger than life personalities on that team. Michael Troy

560
00:24:56,108 --> 00:24:59,868
Speaker 5: Emmett you mentioned, Jimmy, how did your dad handle all

561
00:24:59,948 --> 00:25:01,028
Speaker 5: of those personalities.

562
00:25:02,348 --> 00:25:05,148
Speaker 10: I'll have to say this. When we were watched this

563
00:25:05,588 --> 00:25:09,868
Speaker 10: come about and they would send us the episode, we

564
00:25:09,908 --> 00:25:11,548
Speaker 10: got to the end of one of them and my

565
00:25:11,628 --> 00:25:15,388
Speaker 10: dad looked at me and he goes, man, I forgot

566
00:25:15,628 --> 00:25:20,948
Speaker 10: how big of a challenge everybody was. You know, we

567
00:25:20,948 --> 00:25:23,748
Speaker 10: were seeing things for the first time too as they

568
00:25:23,868 --> 00:25:26,468
Speaker 10: hit in this episode, and things we did not remember,

569
00:25:26,908 --> 00:25:29,468
Speaker 10: things that you chose to forget, you know, all of

570
00:25:29,468 --> 00:25:32,268
Speaker 10: those things that were wrapped up in this It's like

571
00:25:32,388 --> 00:25:34,868
Speaker 10: peeling the onion back and remembering, like, oh my.

572
00:25:34,748 --> 00:25:36,388
Speaker 6: Gosh, that really was going on.

573
00:25:36,828 --> 00:25:39,428
Speaker 10: At the same time all of this was happening, and

574
00:25:39,628 --> 00:25:43,308
Speaker 10: I think, you know, what's super interesting about this and

575
00:25:43,308 --> 00:25:46,708
Speaker 10: and is for everybody to kind of decipher, is, you know,

576
00:25:46,788 --> 00:25:51,028
Speaker 10: every team has a character on their team, and the

577
00:25:51,108 --> 00:25:56,148
Speaker 10: fact that these characters and these teams became larger than.

578
00:25:56,068 --> 00:25:59,428
Speaker 6: Life, It's like, how, how did that actually happen?

579
00:26:00,028 --> 00:26:03,788
Speaker 10: And that you know, the tag of America's team came

580
00:26:03,828 --> 00:26:05,628
Speaker 10: around back for Roger Stallback.

581
00:26:05,908 --> 00:26:07,828
Speaker 6: You know, I feel like everybody.

582
00:26:07,388 --> 00:26:10,228
Speaker 10: Was just trying to keep up with the tradition of

583
00:26:10,388 --> 00:26:13,788
Speaker 10: what the Cowboys did for and then they had this

584
00:26:13,868 --> 00:26:18,588
Speaker 10: incredible spotlight, so everything they did was under a microscope.

585
00:26:18,668 --> 00:26:21,628
Speaker 10: Thank goodness, we didn't have any social media effect.

586
00:26:22,308 --> 00:26:27,028
Speaker 6: I don't think the team would have had social media.

587
00:26:27,188 --> 00:26:29,468
Speaker 10: So you think about, you know, all these clips that

588
00:26:29,508 --> 00:26:31,708
Speaker 10: we were seeing of old news clips that are in

589
00:26:31,748 --> 00:26:34,908
Speaker 10: this documentary, we didn't even see all of that because

590
00:26:35,028 --> 00:26:37,588
Speaker 10: unless you were sitting in front of the television, you

591
00:26:37,668 --> 00:26:37,988
Speaker 10: missed it.

592
00:26:38,028 --> 00:26:41,148
Speaker 6: Sure, unless you got that paper, you missed it.

593
00:26:41,508 --> 00:26:43,508
Speaker 10: And so for it all to come back and to

594
00:26:43,588 --> 00:26:46,628
Speaker 10: be kind of piled on top of each other, it's

595
00:26:46,668 --> 00:26:51,908
Speaker 10: been a journey to watch it again but also realized, like, man,

596
00:26:52,148 --> 00:26:53,628
Speaker 10: we survived that.

597
00:26:55,308 --> 00:26:57,068
Speaker 4: Yes, it is incredible.

598
00:26:57,268 --> 00:26:58,908
Speaker 1: I've been able to see some of it and I

599
00:26:58,988 --> 00:27:01,988
Speaker 1: was immediately just drawn in. I just put the remote

600
00:27:02,028 --> 00:27:06,068
Speaker 1: down and watch. It's fantastic part of the the intrigue Charlotte,

601
00:27:06,108 --> 00:27:09,468
Speaker 1: and it's part of the drama over the decades sometimes

602
00:27:09,508 --> 00:27:13,628
Speaker 1: manifests in these contractual standoffs with star players. I remember

603
00:27:13,668 --> 00:27:16,068
Speaker 1: all the way back to EMMITTT. Smith missing games, and

604
00:27:16,108 --> 00:27:18,668
Speaker 1: it's just part of what happens with the company that

605
00:27:18,708 --> 00:27:19,588
Speaker 1: brings us to Michaeh.

606
00:27:19,588 --> 00:27:20,148
Speaker 4: Parsons.

607
00:27:20,188 --> 00:27:20,468
Speaker 3: Now.

608
00:27:20,948 --> 00:27:23,148
Speaker 1: A lot of fans look at something like this and

609
00:27:23,188 --> 00:27:25,788
Speaker 1: they roll their eyes, some of them laugh, and some

610
00:27:25,828 --> 00:27:29,188
Speaker 1: of them say, oh, Jerry loves this stuff. He does

611
00:27:29,228 --> 00:27:31,548
Speaker 1: it part of for the attention. That's how they feel

612
00:27:31,548 --> 00:27:34,708
Speaker 1: about it. How do you feel about Micah and just

613
00:27:34,788 --> 00:27:39,828
Speaker 1: this Cowboys contractual standoff thing that happens all the time?

614
00:27:39,868 --> 00:27:41,828
Speaker 4: It seems, you know, it.

615
00:27:41,748 --> 00:27:44,268
Speaker 10: Does happen all the time. And then again, I think

616
00:27:44,308 --> 00:27:49,908
Speaker 10: that's a testament to people's interest that whatever we are doing,

617
00:27:50,428 --> 00:27:53,628
Speaker 10: there are other contract fulled outs. You know, across the league,

618
00:27:53,788 --> 00:27:58,308
Speaker 10: everyone deals with this same issue. We just happen to

619
00:27:58,388 --> 00:28:01,948
Speaker 10: be on this stage of interest that is more magnified

620
00:28:02,548 --> 00:28:08,228
Speaker 10: than most. Every little hiccup, every little sneeze is blown

621
00:28:08,348 --> 00:28:11,868
Speaker 10: up and blown out of proportion and you know, discussed

622
00:28:11,868 --> 00:28:15,028
Speaker 10: at a level that it's probably you know, above and

623
00:28:15,068 --> 00:28:19,068
Speaker 10: beyond where most teams experience it. And so for me,

624
00:28:19,228 --> 00:28:21,428
Speaker 10: as I sit back and look at it, I think

625
00:28:21,508 --> 00:28:24,988
Speaker 10: we've developed over time the ability to kind of tune

626
00:28:24,988 --> 00:28:28,468
Speaker 10: out the noise and just focus on, you know, the

627
00:28:28,548 --> 00:28:32,428
Speaker 10: issue at hand. And obviously, you know, everybody wants this

628
00:28:32,508 --> 00:28:35,508
Speaker 10: to be over with, everybody wants to just play the game.

629
00:28:36,428 --> 00:28:40,028
Speaker 10: But there is a part of this that is unavoidable,

630
00:28:40,508 --> 00:28:43,988
Speaker 10: and that's with any kind of contract negotiation. And I

631
00:28:44,028 --> 00:28:46,868
Speaker 10: do think that you know, we have, you know, this

632
00:28:46,948 --> 00:28:48,708
Speaker 10: incredible roster of talent.

633
00:28:49,308 --> 00:28:50,788
Speaker 6: They're at a very high level.

634
00:28:51,108 --> 00:28:54,468
Speaker 10: They they are being compensated at a very high level.

635
00:28:54,508 --> 00:28:57,028
Speaker 10: And at the end of the day, you realize that

636
00:28:57,268 --> 00:29:00,828
Speaker 10: when the pie is gone, there's nothing left. So how

637
00:29:00,868 --> 00:29:03,068
Speaker 10: do you spread that around to all the talent that

638
00:29:03,148 --> 00:29:06,468
Speaker 10: you have? And at some point that becomes you know,

639
00:29:06,628 --> 00:29:08,388
Speaker 10: the iceberg that's right.

640
00:29:08,228 --> 00:29:11,708
Speaker 6: There, that is creates the tension, and how do you

641
00:29:11,748 --> 00:29:14,948
Speaker 6: divvy that up? And there's you know, I think it's

642
00:29:14,988 --> 00:29:15,788
Speaker 6: just part of the game.

643
00:29:15,908 --> 00:29:17,948
Speaker 10: I think it's the business part of the game that

644
00:29:18,548 --> 00:29:20,028
Speaker 10: fans don't enjoy.

645
00:29:21,068 --> 00:29:24,068
Speaker 6: But the ability to like feed in and want to be.

646
00:29:24,188 --> 00:29:26,668
Speaker 10: Everybody wants to be a Monday Morning quarterback, but they

647
00:29:26,708 --> 00:29:29,348
Speaker 10: also want to be a Monday Morning GM and they

648
00:29:30,188 --> 00:29:32,988
Speaker 10: know you know everything and this is this is part

649
00:29:32,988 --> 00:29:35,188
Speaker 10: of it. This is this is life, This is life

650
00:29:35,228 --> 00:29:35,828
Speaker 10: in the NFL.

651
00:29:36,188 --> 00:29:38,708
Speaker 2: Well, Charlotte, I think if I were you, I could

652
00:29:38,708 --> 00:29:41,028
Speaker 2: not be more proud of my title with this team

653
00:29:41,108 --> 00:29:43,268
Speaker 2: because as a brand, it is one of the most

654
00:29:43,308 --> 00:29:46,388
Speaker 2: notorious in sports and in the country, in the world,

655
00:29:46,388 --> 00:29:48,628
Speaker 2: and that as the chief brand officer. Congratulations to you

656
00:29:48,708 --> 00:29:51,468
Speaker 2: on everything you've built in your tenure there, and honestly

657
00:29:51,548 --> 00:29:54,228
Speaker 2: on both documentaries that are out on Netflix, because I

658
00:29:54,268 --> 00:29:57,388
Speaker 2: know you have a first hand involvement in America's Sweetheart,

659
00:29:57,428 --> 00:30:00,588
Speaker 2: which we just found out is being renewed for a

660
00:30:00,628 --> 00:30:04,068
Speaker 2: third season. We love having you on, but first and foremost,

661
00:30:04,108 --> 00:30:06,388
Speaker 2: if you're you're gonna binge wock anything, it's America's team.

662
00:30:06,388 --> 00:30:08,668
Speaker 2: We know you do. Kyle the Gambler and his Cowboys,

663
00:30:08,828 --> 00:30:11,188
Speaker 2: Charlotte Jones, everybody, We'll see you on Netflix. We go

664
00:30:11,268 --> 00:30:15,028
Speaker 2: watch this today and we'll follow up with Charlotte on

665
00:30:15,068 --> 00:30:17,468
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving as we always do. Great to see you, Charlotte,

666
00:30:17,708 --> 00:30:18,588
Speaker 2: Great to see y'all.

667
00:30:18,908 --> 00:30:24,188
Speaker 6: Bye bye, bye.

668
00:30:23,068 --> 00:30:26,748
Speaker 2: Efton Chisum eftin Chisholm. Did you catch that? I said

669
00:30:26,788 --> 00:30:30,148
Speaker 2: his name last week? Okay, every week in the preseason

670
00:30:30,268 --> 00:30:32,668
Speaker 2: in review, we go back and made sure that you

671
00:30:32,788 --> 00:30:35,108
Speaker 2: heard some of the names that we mentioned because we

672
00:30:35,148 --> 00:30:36,708
Speaker 2: want you to be prepared. What have you for your

673
00:30:36,748 --> 00:30:39,228
Speaker 2: late rounds and your fantasy draft, or just to sound

674
00:30:39,268 --> 00:30:41,148
Speaker 2: like the cool kid at the sports bar who knows

675
00:30:41,188 --> 00:30:44,468
Speaker 2: like the fourth depth chart wide receiver on the team? Okay,

676
00:30:44,588 --> 00:30:46,868
Speaker 2: did you catch that? Is about past catchers. That is

677
00:30:46,868 --> 00:30:49,828
Speaker 2: a technicality there, because maybe we have someone that doesn't

678
00:30:49,828 --> 00:30:52,348
Speaker 2: even play on offense on this list today. Beginning with

679
00:30:52,468 --> 00:30:55,468
Speaker 2: a Bears wide receiver and Luthor Burden the third. He

680
00:30:55,548 --> 00:30:58,788
Speaker 2: is nicknamed LB three or Trey, and as Kyle Brant

681
00:30:58,828 --> 00:31:01,548
Speaker 2: has said about this team, the Bears carry a lot

682
00:31:01,708 --> 00:31:04,228
Speaker 2: of wide receivers and he is one of them. In fact,

683
00:31:04,948 --> 00:31:07,908
Speaker 2: LB three or Trey ends up clocking out as the

684
00:31:08,068 --> 00:31:11,068
Speaker 2: fastest wide receiver on the Bears. In first week of

685
00:31:11,108 --> 00:31:14,308
Speaker 2: the preseason, he hit nineteen point five miles per hour

686
00:31:14,308 --> 00:31:17,708
Speaker 2: according to Next Gen Stats. He's had five catches, good

687
00:31:17,708 --> 00:31:20,028
Speaker 2: for seventy eight yards so far in the preseason. This

688
00:31:20,068 --> 00:31:22,108
Speaker 2: is a kid from East Saint Louis. He went to

689
00:31:22,148 --> 00:31:24,468
Speaker 2: Missouri and he was a second round pick for the

690
00:31:24,508 --> 00:31:27,268
Speaker 2: Bears in twenty twenty five. But the Bears carry eleven

691
00:31:27,588 --> 00:31:30,468
Speaker 2: quarterbacks right now. Do you think Luthor Burden the Third

692
00:31:30,548 --> 00:31:31,748
Speaker 2: is intimidated by that number?

693
00:31:31,748 --> 00:31:31,788
Speaker 7: What?

694
00:31:31,868 --> 00:31:32,228
Speaker 2: Whoever?

695
00:31:32,468 --> 00:31:32,588
Speaker 3: No?

696
00:31:32,708 --> 00:31:36,348
Speaker 2: Because he has nine sisters. Okay, there are ten kids

697
00:31:36,348 --> 00:31:38,828
Speaker 2: in his family. He is the second youngest and he's

698
00:31:38,828 --> 00:31:40,828
Speaker 2: going up against nine sisters. You want to know why

699
00:31:40,828 --> 00:31:42,868
Speaker 2: he's fast. He's probably got chased as a kid at

700
00:31:42,908 --> 00:31:45,348
Speaker 2: all times by those girls and he had to get going.

701
00:31:45,908 --> 00:31:48,388
Speaker 2: Not only is he fast, this Luther Burden the Third,

702
00:31:48,828 --> 00:31:51,468
Speaker 2: he is physical. So you can be a pass catcher,

703
00:31:51,468 --> 00:31:53,788
Speaker 2: that's all well and good, but you if you're at

704
00:31:53,788 --> 00:31:56,828
Speaker 2: the goal line and you are blocking the way Luthor

705
00:31:56,948 --> 00:32:00,028
Speaker 2: Burden the Third has for this Bears offense, I think

706
00:32:00,028 --> 00:32:02,868
Speaker 2: that qualifies you to make a roster spot. He's blocking

707
00:32:02,908 --> 00:32:06,068
Speaker 2: on touchdowns and Benjohnson has gone so far to say

708
00:32:06,108 --> 00:32:09,228
Speaker 2: after a practice that here's what I appreciate about Luther Burden.

709
00:32:09,548 --> 00:32:12,668
Speaker 2: He's working his tailoff behind the scenes. This is not

710
00:32:12,788 --> 00:32:16,308
Speaker 2: just showmanship at the line of scrimmage and catching a ball.

711
00:32:16,588 --> 00:32:19,868
Speaker 2: It's about blocking. It's about creating opportunities on offense, and

712
00:32:19,908 --> 00:32:22,588
Speaker 2: it's about allowing your team to punch the ball in

713
00:32:22,628 --> 00:32:24,668
Speaker 2: at the goal line. Luthor Burden the third keep an

714
00:32:24,708 --> 00:32:27,788
Speaker 2: eye out for this guy in Chicago. Moving on, as

715
00:32:27,828 --> 00:32:31,388
Speaker 2: I mentioned, I'm feeling this Cowboys nostalgia right now. So

716
00:32:31,988 --> 00:32:36,548
Speaker 2: when Andrew Booth, the cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys, had

717
00:32:36,588 --> 00:32:39,508
Speaker 2: an interception this week that caught my eye for did

718
00:32:39,548 --> 00:32:42,908
Speaker 2: you catch that? Because not only did this corner after

719
00:32:42,948 --> 00:32:47,228
Speaker 2: waiting nearly two thousand days between interceptions for himself, return

720
00:32:47,348 --> 00:32:50,428
Speaker 2: this thing, he went out and did the Dion a

721
00:32:50,468 --> 00:32:53,108
Speaker 2: little bit. And this is not an accidental don. After

722
00:32:53,148 --> 00:32:57,028
Speaker 2: the game, Andrew Booth acknowledged that this was in homage

723
00:32:57,028 --> 00:33:01,108
Speaker 2: to Dion. He picked off his former teammate in Cooper Rush.

724
00:33:01,148 --> 00:33:03,428
Speaker 2: So these two have gone against each other when Rush

725
00:33:03,508 --> 00:33:06,628
Speaker 2: was backing up Dak Prescott in Dallas. Now Cooper Rush

726
00:33:06,708 --> 00:33:09,468
Speaker 2: is playing for the Baltimore Ravens. And Andrew Booth knew

727
00:33:09,468 --> 00:33:12,588
Speaker 2: a thing or two about reading the scenes and reading

728
00:33:12,828 --> 00:33:15,588
Speaker 2: the offense about Cooper Rush. Thrown ball and he ran

729
00:33:15,628 --> 00:33:17,268
Speaker 2: that thing back and he had the two hands on

730
00:33:17,348 --> 00:33:19,108
Speaker 2: and he was going like this, I was hoping we

731
00:33:19,188 --> 00:33:21,348
Speaker 2: did this list before Charlotte Jones and then she saw

732
00:33:21,388 --> 00:33:23,828
Speaker 2: that that we put a defensive guy on pass catcher.

733
00:33:23,988 --> 00:33:27,348
Speaker 2: But whatever, she's probably still watching Good Morning Football. Andrew Booth,

734
00:33:27,348 --> 00:33:29,468
Speaker 2: you are number two on did you catch that? This week?

735
00:33:29,508 --> 00:33:32,628
Speaker 2: Moving on to a Jets wide receiver who I know

736
00:33:32,708 --> 00:33:36,188
Speaker 2: Kyle Brant will love this wearing number thirty seven in

737
00:33:36,228 --> 00:33:40,708
Speaker 2: the preseason. In Quentin's Skinner, We're all about improvement when

738
00:33:40,748 --> 00:33:43,348
Speaker 2: it comes to preseason weeks one and two. So when

739
00:33:43,388 --> 00:33:46,028
Speaker 2: I tell you that Quentin Skinner had a single catch

740
00:33:46,068 --> 00:33:48,628
Speaker 2: good for twenty six yards, but then in week two

741
00:33:48,668 --> 00:33:51,628
Speaker 2: he jumped to four catches on four targets for forty

742
00:33:51,668 --> 00:33:54,508
Speaker 2: eight yards, you're starting to see things work for the

743
00:33:54,628 --> 00:33:58,628
Speaker 2: undrafted free agent out of Kansas. Now we have a

744
00:33:58,868 --> 00:34:02,268
Speaker 2: clarification on his did you catch that? Because when you

745
00:34:02,388 --> 00:34:05,388
Speaker 2: watch this touchdown from the preseason too, you're going to

746
00:34:05,428 --> 00:34:07,308
Speaker 2: ask that question. But he's going to tell you.

747
00:34:07,308 --> 00:34:07,948
Speaker 6: That he did.

748
00:34:09,628 --> 00:34:14,868
Speaker 11: High snap, handled cook got him fires yet and it's

749
00:34:14,948 --> 00:34:19,708
Speaker 11: cart for the touchdown Quentin Skinner extending. Well done by

750
00:34:19,708 --> 00:34:22,668
Speaker 11: Skinner to tap that thing to himself secure the catch.

751
00:34:23,188 --> 00:34:24,748
Speaker 11: Those are the kind of plays you need to make

752
00:34:24,828 --> 00:34:28,148
Speaker 11: as a rookie to make the team. Forget about losing

753
00:34:28,188 --> 00:34:30,828
Speaker 11: your win. He gotta make this team, and you got

754
00:34:30,828 --> 00:34:31,988
Speaker 11: to come down that football.

755
00:34:33,228 --> 00:34:35,628
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty seven thirty nine Skinners wearing number thirty nine.

756
00:34:35,668 --> 00:34:38,508
Speaker 2: He's cradling that football because laying out for a one

757
00:34:38,548 --> 00:34:41,268
Speaker 2: handed catch and coming down squarely on your rib cage

758
00:34:41,308 --> 00:34:44,188
Speaker 2: like that has to hurt. Now, he's got a personality.

759
00:34:44,268 --> 00:34:47,988
Speaker 2: He was seen practicing his touchdown celebrations in practice. Now

760
00:34:48,028 --> 00:34:50,028
Speaker 2: on that catch, he couldn't quite get up fast enough

761
00:34:50,028 --> 00:34:52,708
Speaker 2: to celebrate. He goes his ribs hurt a little bit.

762
00:34:52,988 --> 00:34:56,868
Speaker 2: But as Iron Eagle said during that broadcast, you come down.

763
00:34:56,908 --> 00:34:58,668
Speaker 2: It was not a question did he catch that. He

764
00:34:58,708 --> 00:35:01,588
Speaker 2: absolutely did, And Quentin Skinner making a name for himself

765
00:35:01,668 --> 00:35:03,948
Speaker 2: trying to be friendly with Justin fields on this offense

766
00:35:03,988 --> 00:35:06,788
Speaker 2: to make the fifty three man roster. Moving forward to

767
00:35:06,908 --> 00:35:11,228
Speaker 2: number four. There's an old phrase that says familiarity breeds contempt,

768
00:35:11,348 --> 00:35:15,108
Speaker 2: but in the case of Troy Franklin, familiarity actually breeds

769
00:35:15,148 --> 00:35:19,068
Speaker 2: success because despite being his second season with the Denver Broncos,

770
00:35:19,508 --> 00:35:22,788
Speaker 2: this is this wide receiver's fourth year on the same

771
00:35:22,908 --> 00:35:26,148
Speaker 2: roster as his quarterback of Bo Nicks. The two were

772
00:35:26,148 --> 00:35:29,108
Speaker 2: at Oregon together and now they arrived and they're trying

773
00:35:29,148 --> 00:35:31,348
Speaker 2: to put this offense to click. But here they are

774
00:35:31,428 --> 00:35:33,948
Speaker 2: playing for the Oregon Ducks Latin the last two seasons

775
00:35:33,948 --> 00:35:38,028
Speaker 2: together and they are in Denver together. Now he is

776
00:35:38,068 --> 00:35:40,308
Speaker 2: a second year wide receiver. He was drafted in the

777
00:35:40,348 --> 00:35:42,588
Speaker 2: fourth round. Of course, you have to consider that was

778
00:35:42,628 --> 00:35:45,228
Speaker 2: Sean Payton's first draft. So he goes out in the

779
00:35:45,268 --> 00:35:47,908
Speaker 2: fourth round and gets a wide receiver, Troy Flanklin. Franklin,

780
00:35:47,948 --> 00:35:50,988
Speaker 2: he hung around last season. Offensively, it was all right.

781
00:35:51,148 --> 00:35:54,348
Speaker 2: But Sean Payton now this preseason has said he's having

782
00:35:54,348 --> 00:35:57,388
Speaker 2: a breakout. Now, mind you, when you watch a preseason footage,

783
00:35:57,388 --> 00:35:59,988
Speaker 2: I understand that it is Jared Stidham throwing these touchdown

784
00:35:59,988 --> 00:36:03,188
Speaker 2: passes to Mitchell excuse me, to Troy Franklin. But the

785
00:36:03,228 --> 00:36:05,788
Speaker 2: point is he's hanging with the quarterbacks and he is

786
00:36:05,868 --> 00:36:08,308
Speaker 2: trying to work within this offense. Did you catch that

787
00:36:08,388 --> 00:36:11,068
Speaker 2: Troy Franklin. Make sure you know his name ahead of

788
00:36:11,108 --> 00:36:14,988
Speaker 2: this Broncos season for twenty twenty five. And lastly, we

789
00:36:15,188 --> 00:36:17,588
Speaker 2: have a name that jumped off the screen last night.

790
00:36:17,668 --> 00:36:20,188
Speaker 2: Now there is a reason why. On the full screen

791
00:36:20,228 --> 00:36:23,828
Speaker 2: after the highlight, we had two Jake Browning touchdowns. They

792
00:36:23,908 --> 00:36:27,348
Speaker 2: both went to Mitchell Tinsley in a matter of thirty

793
00:36:27,388 --> 00:36:31,148
Speaker 2: five seconds. On a Monday night football preseason broadcast, Joe

794
00:36:31,148 --> 00:36:33,908
Speaker 2: Buck called this young man's name twice in the end

795
00:36:33,988 --> 00:36:37,228
Speaker 2: zone for the Cincinnati Bengals.

796
00:36:37,468 --> 00:36:39,188
Speaker 4: On first down, end.

797
00:36:39,188 --> 00:36:43,268
Speaker 1: Zone, Tinsley with a spinning catch, and I'll say he

798
00:36:43,428 --> 00:36:44,388
Speaker 1: is opening.

799
00:36:44,068 --> 00:36:44,828
Speaker 3: Up some eyes.

800
00:36:45,028 --> 00:36:49,468
Speaker 4: It sure is under twenty to go end zone shot Tensley,

801
00:36:49,948 --> 00:36:52,908
Speaker 4: Come on, did he catch you? Touchdown?

802
00:36:52,948 --> 00:36:53,628
Speaker 3: As the call?

803
00:36:54,268 --> 00:36:56,188
Speaker 4: Have a night, Mitchell Tinsley.

804
00:36:56,348 --> 00:36:58,668
Speaker 8: This guy, he's showing that he could play in the

805
00:36:58,748 --> 00:37:00,268
Speaker 8: National Football League tonight.

806
00:37:01,308 --> 00:37:03,868
Speaker 2: So Tinsley was actually sent out for the quint toss

807
00:37:03,908 --> 00:37:06,348
Speaker 2: in this pre season Week two game against the Commanders,

808
00:37:06,388 --> 00:37:08,588
Speaker 2: because that is the team in which he was a

809
00:37:08,628 --> 00:37:10,588
Speaker 2: part of the last two seasons. He was on the

810
00:37:10,588 --> 00:37:13,548
Speaker 2: practice squad for the Commanders and now he's with the Bengals.

811
00:37:13,628 --> 00:37:15,868
Speaker 2: And Joe Buck said it did he catch that? Yes,

812
00:37:15,908 --> 00:37:18,548
Speaker 2: he did, went up and over to bring down six

813
00:37:18,588 --> 00:37:21,548
Speaker 2: for the Bengals last night. Two touchdowns. Love the kid's story.

814
00:37:21,668 --> 00:37:25,068
Speaker 2: Hutchinson Community College to Western Kentucky. You know I love

815
00:37:25,108 --> 00:37:27,948
Speaker 2: a Hilltopper's reference on Good Morny Football to a final

816
00:37:27,988 --> 00:37:30,788
Speaker 2: season at Penn State and he has just been battling.

817
00:37:31,068 --> 00:37:34,668
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow has gone on to say that, in very

818
00:37:34,708 --> 00:37:37,868
Speaker 2: short form, is he going to make the roster Mitchell Tinsley,

819
00:37:37,948 --> 00:37:40,788
Speaker 2: He just says, I hope. So if that's your quarterback,

820
00:37:40,948 --> 00:37:43,868
Speaker 2: and a ringing endorsement in just two words, because you're

821
00:37:43,908 --> 00:37:46,468
Speaker 2: going up and catching balls. Leg that, even if it's

822
00:37:46,548 --> 00:37:48,988
Speaker 2: Jake Browning, even if it's Joe Burrow, that's what you

823
00:37:49,028 --> 00:37:51,028
Speaker 2: look like on Monday Night Football in preseason week two,

824
00:37:51,108 --> 00:37:53,908
Speaker 2: Mitchell Tinsley, you're making a name for yourself. That's Did

825
00:37:53,948 --> 00:37:55,908
Speaker 2: you catch that from pre season Week two
