00:00:33,668 --> 00:00:35,148
Speaker 3: Hard Knocks debut last night.

8
00:00:35,228 --> 00:00:36,588
Speaker 2: We are going to get into this. We are going

9
00:00:36,668 --> 00:00:38,588
Speaker 2: to show some clips. We're gonna say our favorite parts.

10
00:00:39,068 --> 00:00:41,908
Speaker 3: But man, Aaron Rodgers, it's like a new man out there,

11
00:00:42,028 --> 00:00:43,588
Speaker 3: truly than what we saw in Green Bay.

12
00:00:43,668 --> 00:00:45,948
Speaker 2: I would say it was a Rogers commercial. Ways, I'm

13
00:00:46,068 --> 00:00:48,748
Speaker 2: infomercial infomercial, like you come away and you're like, I

14
00:00:48,748 --> 00:00:50,068
Speaker 2: want to play for the New York Jets and I

15
00:00:50,068 --> 00:00:52,068
Speaker 2: want that guy to throw me passes. If you're a

16
00:00:52,068 --> 00:00:54,228
Speaker 2: fan of the Dolphins, Bills, and Patriots, don't worry, we

17
00:00:54,268 --> 00:00:55,108
Speaker 2: get it. We're gonna talk.

18
00:00:55,108 --> 00:00:56,308
Speaker 1: I kind of want Zach Wills not to throw me

19
00:00:56,348 --> 00:01:00,268
Speaker 1: passes too. I bet came across great.

20
00:01:00,348 --> 00:01:03,068
Speaker 3: We will get into Hard Knocks debut last night on HBO.

21
00:01:03,188 --> 00:01:04,908
Speaker 3: But until then, there are some stuff to talk about

22
00:01:04,908 --> 00:01:07,788
Speaker 3: in Washington. Time for the Lee block Book. The Commanders

23
00:01:07,868 --> 00:01:10,948
Speaker 3: kick Off their preseason against the Browns on Friday night.

24
00:01:11,028 --> 00:01:14,348
Speaker 3: We should get our first look at Washington's new offense.

25
00:01:14,268 --> 00:01:18,908
Speaker 1: With Kyle Who, Sam Howe, that's my guys.

26
00:01:18,788 --> 00:01:22,188
Speaker 3: And new offensive coordinator Eric The Enemy, of course, the

27
00:01:22,268 --> 00:01:24,108
Speaker 3: Enemy coming over from the Chiefs, has been making his

28
00:01:24,148 --> 00:01:27,108
Speaker 3: presence known in training camp so far. Head coach Ron

29
00:01:27,148 --> 00:01:31,708
Speaker 3: Rivera was asked yesterday about the Enemy's intensity and if

30
00:01:31,748 --> 00:01:34,228
Speaker 3: players have struggled with that in camp.

31
00:01:37,308 --> 00:01:40,308
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they have and and one of the

32
00:01:40,308 --> 00:01:43,628
Speaker 4: biggest things is, you know, and I had a number

33
00:01:43,668 --> 00:01:45,188
Speaker 4: of guys come to me and I say, just go

34
00:01:45,228 --> 00:01:47,468
Speaker 4: talk to him. I said, understand what he's trying to

35
00:01:47,468 --> 00:01:49,748
Speaker 4: get across to you. I think as they go and

36
00:01:49,788 --> 00:01:52,428
Speaker 4: they talk and they listen to him, it's it's been

37
00:01:52,508 --> 00:01:54,148
Speaker 4: enlightening for a lot of these guys. I mean, it's

38
00:01:54,148 --> 00:01:56,628
Speaker 4: a whole different approach us as a coach, you know,

39
00:01:56,668 --> 00:01:58,668
Speaker 4: I kind of have to assimilate and get a feel

40
00:01:58,708 --> 00:02:01,028
Speaker 4: for everybody. Eric has an approach and it's the way

41
00:02:01,068 --> 00:02:02,748
Speaker 4: he does things that he's not going to change and

42
00:02:03,548 --> 00:02:04,308
Speaker 4: because he believes in.

43
00:02:04,548 --> 00:02:06,508
Speaker 1: When they came to you, it's just they felt like

44
00:02:06,748 --> 00:02:10,588
Speaker 1: Eric was riding them too hard. Well, they just were

45
00:02:11,308 --> 00:02:12,228
Speaker 1: a little concerned.

46
00:02:12,508 --> 00:02:15,668
Speaker 5: Yes, I am intense, and I would be afraid too

47
00:02:15,788 --> 00:02:18,068
Speaker 5: to start if I didn't know him. But on top

48
00:02:18,108 --> 00:02:21,028
Speaker 5: of that, one thing they do appreciate is this, I'm

49
00:02:21,028 --> 00:02:23,148
Speaker 5: always gonna be upfront and I'm always gonna be honest.

50
00:02:23,468 --> 00:02:27,188
Speaker 5: Eric Beenemy is who he is. Okay, Eric Beenemy knows

51
00:02:27,188 --> 00:02:30,188
Speaker 5: how to adapt and adjust. Eric Jeannemy is a tough,

52
00:02:30,228 --> 00:02:33,668
Speaker 5: hard nosed coach. But also understand I'm gonna be the

53
00:02:33,708 --> 00:02:37,628
Speaker 5: biggest and harshest critic, but I'm also the number one

54
00:02:37,748 --> 00:02:40,548
Speaker 5: fan because I got they back and I'm gonna support

55
00:02:40,588 --> 00:02:41,588
Speaker 5: them at all time.

56
00:02:43,628 --> 00:02:47,948
Speaker 3: That's a lot to unpack from Washington, Ron Rivera presenting

57
00:02:47,948 --> 00:02:50,628
Speaker 3: the situation with Eric Enemy, but then Viennemy coming out

58
00:02:50,668 --> 00:02:52,988
Speaker 3: and kind of explaining himself, what do you make of this.

59
00:02:53,388 --> 00:02:55,588
Speaker 6: I've never been coached by Eric Bannemy. I have no

60
00:02:55,668 --> 00:02:58,908
Speaker 6: idea his intensity, his style, or anything of that nature.

61
00:02:59,068 --> 00:03:01,348
Speaker 6: I was more surprised, and I guess this is the

62
00:03:01,388 --> 00:03:04,668
Speaker 6: second time this preseason we heard de Sean Payton. We

63
00:03:04,708 --> 00:03:08,148
Speaker 6: saw his comments about Nathaniel Hackett. Ron rivera veteran head

64
00:03:08,148 --> 00:03:10,948
Speaker 6: coached a ton of success in Carolina. I was surprised

65
00:03:11,068 --> 00:03:13,748
Speaker 6: just to hear him talk about this. It wasn't as

66
00:03:13,788 --> 00:03:16,348
Speaker 6: if a player had come out and complained about Eric

67
00:03:16,388 --> 00:03:19,628
Speaker 6: Bienimey or there been reports based on it. So far,

68
00:03:19,748 --> 00:03:23,188
Speaker 6: players have been positive about be Enemy publicly, whether that's.

69
00:03:23,068 --> 00:03:24,748
Speaker 7: Different behind closed doors.

70
00:03:24,788 --> 00:03:27,268
Speaker 6: I was surprised to just hear Rom Rivera just go

71
00:03:27,348 --> 00:03:30,108
Speaker 6: into it and go as far as to compare Eric

72
00:03:30,188 --> 00:03:33,548
Speaker 6: b Enemy to Jack del Ria, the defensive coordinator on

73
00:03:33,588 --> 00:03:36,388
Speaker 6: this team, and mentioned that del Rio has head coaching

74
00:03:36,428 --> 00:03:39,308
Speaker 6: experience and Rom Rivera himself has it as well, so

75
00:03:39,348 --> 00:03:41,948
Speaker 6: they get to know their players before they kind of

76
00:03:42,148 --> 00:03:44,628
Speaker 6: embark on whatever coaching style it was going to be.

77
00:03:45,108 --> 00:03:46,948
Speaker 6: And that to me made it feel as though the

78
00:03:47,108 --> 00:03:50,108
Speaker 6: enemy's lack of experience in the head coaching well maybe

79
00:03:50,268 --> 00:03:53,308
Speaker 6: doesn't warn him or he doesn't have that ability to

80
00:03:53,428 --> 00:03:54,348
Speaker 6: do so, and he.

81
00:03:54,308 --> 00:03:55,588
Speaker 7: Has his own coaching style.

82
00:03:56,468 --> 00:03:58,508
Speaker 6: As I listened to it, I'm like, all right, is

83
00:03:58,748 --> 00:04:00,788
Speaker 6: Rivera fan of b Enemy's coaching style?

84
00:04:00,828 --> 00:04:02,388
Speaker 7: Does he think he needs to change it?

85
00:04:02,468 --> 00:04:04,708
Speaker 6: Is it not in the best interest of the team,

86
00:04:04,828 --> 00:04:07,628
Speaker 6: because going in, I'm sure when you hire this guy,

87
00:04:07,708 --> 00:04:09,948
Speaker 6: you know the type of coach he is, how hard

88
00:04:09,948 --> 00:04:12,468
Speaker 6: he is on his guys, and his level of love,

89
00:04:12,548 --> 00:04:14,228
Speaker 6: tough love, however you want to call it that he

90
00:04:14,268 --> 00:04:15,388
Speaker 6: brings to the franchise.

91
00:04:15,468 --> 00:04:17,268
Speaker 7: At the end of the day, they all want to win.

92
00:04:17,428 --> 00:04:19,548
Speaker 6: But the way you go about that change is I

93
00:04:19,588 --> 00:04:22,188
Speaker 6: was just very surprised to hear this coming from the

94
00:04:22,228 --> 00:04:25,548
Speaker 6: commanders themselves, to talk about the issues that may be

95
00:04:25,708 --> 00:04:26,708
Speaker 6: that players.

96
00:04:26,308 --> 00:04:27,988
Speaker 7: Have with them or how they're handling it.

97
00:04:28,308 --> 00:04:29,988
Speaker 6: I would think you would hear this kind of the

98
00:04:29,988 --> 00:04:33,148
Speaker 6: grumblings on the outside and then them having to address it,

99
00:04:33,188 --> 00:04:36,148
Speaker 6: opposed to them bringing it up themselves. If I'm a player,

100
00:04:36,428 --> 00:04:39,508
Speaker 6: especially if I'm a Terry McLaurin, if I'm a Sam Howe.

101
00:04:39,948 --> 00:04:40,748
Speaker 7: Now when you have.

102
00:04:40,748 --> 00:04:44,188
Speaker 6: Your media availability today, the first question that's being asked

103
00:04:44,228 --> 00:04:46,108
Speaker 6: to you is, well, how do you like Eric Banimy

104
00:04:46,108 --> 00:04:48,188
Speaker 6: as a coach? Because it seems always hard on people

105
00:04:48,308 --> 00:04:50,148
Speaker 6: when it was your head coach saying it. So to me,

106
00:04:50,228 --> 00:04:53,228
Speaker 6: that's just very weird. You're bringing issues into the building.

107
00:04:53,028 --> 00:04:53,668
Speaker 7: That you don't have to.

108
00:04:53,828 --> 00:04:56,308
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Kyle and I interviewed Ron Rivera at the

109
00:04:56,388 --> 00:04:58,668
Speaker 2: Super Bowl and it was before the enemy was hired

110
00:04:58,708 --> 00:05:00,588
Speaker 2: and everything, and we were just talking about that and

111
00:05:00,628 --> 00:05:03,308
Speaker 2: his description of what he wanted from a new offensive coach.

112
00:05:03,468 --> 00:05:04,988
Speaker 2: It was going to be someone who could take this

113
00:05:05,028 --> 00:05:07,148
Speaker 2: offense and take it higher with all these young guys,

114
00:05:07,308 --> 00:05:10,308
Speaker 2: and it seems like the Enemy's the perfect fit coaching styles.

115
00:05:10,388 --> 00:05:14,468
Speaker 2: It sometimes you get guys that wouldn't necessarily be matched together,

116
00:05:14,548 --> 00:05:16,828
Speaker 2: but then it works. I would say, let's hold off

117
00:05:16,868 --> 00:05:19,308
Speaker 2: and let's see. And you know, to me, Ron rivera

118
00:05:19,348 --> 00:05:23,268
Speaker 2: speaking public, but obviously the reporter knew and was hearing

119
00:05:23,308 --> 00:05:25,148
Speaker 2: those grumblings like you don't just come out of it.

120
00:05:25,428 --> 00:05:27,988
Speaker 2: So let's talk about that clearly. If you're at practice,

121
00:05:28,028 --> 00:05:30,668
Speaker 2: you see the enemy getting in some of these guys' faces.

122
00:05:30,668 --> 00:05:32,748
Speaker 2: You see the way he kind of coaches. And we've

123
00:05:32,788 --> 00:05:35,228
Speaker 2: heard in the past that Eric the Enemy is not

124
00:05:35,308 --> 00:05:37,348
Speaker 2: for everybody. If you're a player who likes to be

125
00:05:37,428 --> 00:05:39,308
Speaker 2: codd older, if you're a player who likes it's a

126
00:05:39,348 --> 00:05:41,508
Speaker 2: different way. He's combative at times, and that's not in

127
00:05:41,548 --> 00:05:44,268
Speaker 2: a negative way. Players love playing for him, and like

128
00:05:44,308 --> 00:05:45,828
Speaker 2: he said, he could be as tough as critic, but

129
00:05:45,908 --> 00:05:47,948
Speaker 2: that is how he does it. I want to see

130
00:05:47,988 --> 00:05:50,268
Speaker 2: what happens now, though, because to your point, I don't

131
00:05:50,268 --> 00:05:53,028
Speaker 2: think Eric Benemy was going up to that podium expecting

132
00:05:53,228 --> 00:05:56,068
Speaker 2: those questions and expecting himself having to answer for his

133
00:05:56,148 --> 00:05:59,628
Speaker 2: coaching style in the third week of training camp. We've

134
00:05:59,668 --> 00:06:01,508
Speaker 2: seen it in the past where I can go back

135
00:06:01,548 --> 00:06:03,348
Speaker 2: to like Chan Gaily in Kansas City or to go

136
00:06:03,508 --> 00:06:06,028
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's like, all right, we're through August and this

137
00:06:06,068 --> 00:06:08,788
Speaker 2: isn't working, Like we're gonna cut bait now and we're

138
00:06:08,828 --> 00:06:11,228
Speaker 2: gonna hire another offensive cord. I think crazy things happen.

139
00:06:11,388 --> 00:06:13,468
Speaker 2: I don't think we're at that point yet, but gosh,

140
00:06:13,508 --> 00:06:16,908
Speaker 2: to your point, Sean Payton's comments about Hackett Rivera speaking

141
00:06:16,908 --> 00:06:19,308
Speaker 2: about his offensive coordinator and saying, hey, this is what's

142
00:06:19,308 --> 00:06:21,388
Speaker 2: really going on, and I'm okay with it and we're

143
00:06:21,388 --> 00:06:23,468
Speaker 2: gonna be fine with it. Unprecedented times and this is

144
00:06:23,588 --> 00:06:26,548
Speaker 2: two veteran coaches. And again, everything Sean Payton does, I said,

145
00:06:26,628 --> 00:06:28,868
Speaker 2: was intentional, and I think everything Ron Rivera does is

146
00:06:28,908 --> 00:06:31,348
Speaker 2: for a reason too. I think there's probably a reason

147
00:06:31,388 --> 00:06:33,628
Speaker 2: he's airing it out publicly, and it might be let's

148
00:06:33,628 --> 00:06:35,068
Speaker 2: get it out out in the open, let's address it

149
00:06:35,068 --> 00:06:36,828
Speaker 2: now because the season doesn't start for another month and

150
00:06:36,828 --> 00:06:37,268
Speaker 2: we gotta be.

151
00:06:37,268 --> 00:06:39,708
Speaker 1: Ready for that. I'd love to see commanders practice today

152
00:06:39,708 --> 00:06:42,148
Speaker 1: and tell I hope the enemy rise the hell out

153
00:06:42,148 --> 00:06:46,188
Speaker 1: of them. The Ron Rivera angle is unusual, the pr thing,

154
00:06:46,188 --> 00:06:48,068
Speaker 1: and I hear that Ron at this point has been

155
00:06:48,068 --> 00:06:49,868
Speaker 1: done enough laps around this league that I think is

156
00:06:49,948 --> 00:06:52,068
Speaker 1: kind of from the hip, which is fine. I respect it.

157
00:06:52,348 --> 00:06:54,388
Speaker 1: I hate that the players are going to him complaining

158
00:06:54,628 --> 00:06:57,468
Speaker 1: I really do like you're the commanders. I think you're

159
00:06:57,508 --> 00:06:59,508
Speaker 1: allegedly the commanders. I don't really know who you are.

160
00:06:59,548 --> 00:07:01,828
Speaker 1: You won eight games? Seven games? Who cares games the

161
00:07:01,868 --> 00:07:05,188
Speaker 1: last few years. Eric Bennie's Super Bowl rings, He's been there,

162
00:07:05,388 --> 00:07:07,708
Speaker 1: He's been so far past where any of you guys

163
00:07:07,708 --> 00:07:09,548
Speaker 1: have gone. You know what's interesting about the roster. I

164
00:07:09,588 --> 00:07:11,028
Speaker 1: was looking at their offense and I'm like, I bet

165
00:07:11,028 --> 00:07:12,708
Speaker 1: it's a bunch of guys who've never won anything. And

166
00:07:12,708 --> 00:07:14,948
Speaker 1: it's not They have Super Bowl winners. They brought it

167
00:07:14,988 --> 00:07:17,548
Speaker 1: from other teams. They have a whole list of national

168
00:07:17,668 --> 00:07:20,788
Speaker 1: championship winners from college and Ohio State and Alabama, Like

169
00:07:21,028 --> 00:07:23,868
Speaker 1: these guys should know. And I'm reminded of them saying

170
00:07:23,908 --> 00:07:26,908
Speaker 1: like oh no, no, Coach Biennemy's mean. It's like we're

171
00:07:26,908 --> 00:07:29,068
Speaker 1: looking at Sean Payton in Denver and he's like, no, no, no,

172
00:07:29,108 --> 00:07:31,108
Speaker 1: bucket hats and crap on the sideline. This is why

173
00:07:31,108 --> 00:07:33,028
Speaker 1: Sean Payton came in, Like, this is what you paid

174
00:07:33,108 --> 00:07:34,628
Speaker 1: him for. You could have had anybody he wanted. You

175
00:07:34,668 --> 00:07:36,348
Speaker 1: picked him, so let him do what he wants. You

176
00:07:36,348 --> 00:07:38,628
Speaker 1: could have had a million coordinators run the Sam Howell

177
00:07:38,668 --> 00:07:40,948
Speaker 1: Express on offense. You got one of the most desired,

178
00:07:41,028 --> 00:07:43,308
Speaker 1: one of the most decorated guys of the last decade.

179
00:07:43,428 --> 00:07:45,508
Speaker 1: Let him do whatever the hell he wants. It is

180
00:07:45,588 --> 00:07:49,308
Speaker 1: August whatever, we're still already complaining about this. It's also

181
00:07:49,348 --> 00:07:51,148
Speaker 1: like camp's been on a couple of weeks and everyone's

182
00:07:51,148 --> 00:07:53,348
Speaker 1: gotten a little sore, a little tired. Like it's a

183
00:07:53,428 --> 00:07:55,788
Speaker 1: little bit whiny, whiny, whiney for a team. Now, if

184
00:07:55,788 --> 00:07:58,068
Speaker 1: the Chiefs was doing this, if it was the Eagles, fine,

185
00:07:58,148 --> 00:08:01,948
Speaker 1: it's the Commanders, the alleged Commanders. And look, Eric Bannemy

186
00:08:02,028 --> 00:08:04,268
Speaker 1: played his football in the late eighties and early nine

187
00:08:04,508 --> 00:08:06,268
Speaker 1: is that made him who he is? That was a

188
00:08:06,348 --> 00:08:09,588
Speaker 1: different sport back then. I mean it was Oklahoma drill

189
00:08:09,668 --> 00:08:12,228
Speaker 1: and we're doing this and bring your track shoes to practice,

190
00:08:12,268 --> 00:08:14,908
Speaker 1: like you got to keep some of that, you really do.

191
00:08:14,988 --> 00:08:16,988
Speaker 1: And I would just say these players wherever they are,

192
00:08:17,028 --> 00:08:19,268
Speaker 1: who are going to Ron Rivera and saying Eric Viannemy's mean.

193
00:08:19,508 --> 00:08:21,868
Speaker 1: Look at Tyreek Hill's tweet. All right, now, Tyreek kill

194
00:08:21,908 --> 00:08:23,148
Speaker 1: is all over the map and a lot of things,

195
00:08:23,228 --> 00:08:27,028
Speaker 1: and this is pretty strong. He comes out after the story. Man,

196
00:08:27,068 --> 00:08:29,468
Speaker 1: there's no other coach that has your back like Eric Viennemy.

197
00:08:29,548 --> 00:08:31,828
Speaker 1: Take that coaching and get better. We all been through it.

198
00:08:31,828 --> 00:08:34,508
Speaker 1: It's tough, but I promise will make you better. That's

199
00:08:34,548 --> 00:08:37,348
Speaker 1: just basic. Right on the screws. Listen to him. He

200
00:08:37,428 --> 00:08:40,348
Speaker 1: played for Vianemy for years, super Bowl Champion. Like, I

201
00:08:40,428 --> 00:08:43,188
Speaker 1: hate that they're complaining and it taps into a lot

202
00:08:43,228 --> 00:08:48,348
Speaker 1: of softness generational participation trophy. You guys have never done

203
00:08:48,348 --> 00:08:51,388
Speaker 1: anything in this league with this team. Do something. Listen

204
00:08:51,388 --> 00:08:53,708
Speaker 1: to the guy. He's done it, so shut up, listen

205
00:08:53,748 --> 00:08:54,828
Speaker 1: and run.

206
00:08:55,228 --> 00:08:56,028
Speaker 2: I totally agree.

207
00:08:56,068 --> 00:08:58,068
Speaker 3: I'll just keep piling it on because on top of

208
00:08:58,148 --> 00:09:02,148
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill's tweet, I went back in February, Patrick Mahomes

209
00:09:02,148 --> 00:09:04,348
Speaker 3: had a tweet about it and when he got high

210
00:09:04,868 --> 00:09:08,548
Speaker 3: and he glowing. There should be no questions on how

211
00:09:08,588 --> 00:09:11,188
Speaker 3: great of a man coach coach Biem is. His leadership

212
00:09:11,228 --> 00:09:13,948
Speaker 3: had a direct impact on the person and player I

213
00:09:13,988 --> 00:09:16,388
Speaker 3: am today ten plus years learning under one of the

214
00:09:16,428 --> 00:09:19,428
Speaker 3: greatest coaches of all time. Patrick Mahomes says, and I

215
00:09:19,508 --> 00:09:21,948
Speaker 3: cannot wait for him to continue to prove dowter ors

216
00:09:21,948 --> 00:09:22,548
Speaker 3: from here.

217
00:09:22,548 --> 00:09:23,388
Speaker 1: They are here.

218
00:09:23,468 --> 00:09:25,788
Speaker 3: The daughter is unfortunately it's on his own roster, it's

219
00:09:25,788 --> 00:09:29,388
Speaker 3: his own players. This is really the word concerned is

220
00:09:29,388 --> 00:09:31,908
Speaker 3: in quotes. This is concerning for the guys on the team.

221
00:09:32,228 --> 00:09:34,908
Speaker 3: You don't have an open mind enough whatever was happening

222
00:09:34,908 --> 00:09:36,828
Speaker 3: and whatever team you came from or the current system

223
00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:38,908
Speaker 3: that you were in, that you're three weeks in and

224
00:09:38,948 --> 00:09:41,868
Speaker 3: you have this much of an issue with tough love,

225
00:09:42,028 --> 00:09:44,508
Speaker 3: if you will. I take a lot of issues with

226
00:09:44,828 --> 00:09:48,228
Speaker 3: going to Ron Rivera, Ron Rivera airing it out. It's like,

227
00:09:48,508 --> 00:09:51,108
Speaker 3: have an open mind about something that clearly wasn't working

228
00:09:51,268 --> 00:09:52,228
Speaker 3: and try something new.

229
00:09:52,228 --> 00:09:54,948
Speaker 2: On for says, make no mistake, Ron knew who and

230
00:09:54,988 --> 00:09:56,908
Speaker 2: what he was getting with Ben and me. Ron Rivera

231
00:09:56,988 --> 00:10:00,148
Speaker 2: is a disciple of Andy Reid. Ron Rivera knows Snegnolo

232
00:10:00,388 --> 00:10:03,468
Speaker 2: very well. Ron Rivera is very connected to that Andy

233
00:10:03,508 --> 00:10:05,788
Speaker 2: Reich for you, which Eric, the enemy is right in

234
00:10:05,828 --> 00:10:07,908
Speaker 2: there as well. And these guys have interacted for days

235
00:10:07,948 --> 00:10:11,708
Speaker 2: like is not no surprise to the coaching is that

236
00:10:11,788 --> 00:10:14,228
Speaker 2: this is how the enemy's coaching style. Is I think

237
00:10:14,268 --> 00:10:16,148
Speaker 2: the fact that it was aired out and that is

238
00:10:16,188 --> 00:10:17,628
Speaker 2: down public that might be.

239
00:10:17,828 --> 00:10:20,148
Speaker 6: Can I can I play Devil's advocate, say to the

240
00:10:20,228 --> 00:10:22,828
Speaker 6: point where the enemy's in there and he's flipping chairs

241
00:10:22,828 --> 00:10:25,628
Speaker 6: and it's just like outrageous and players are looking at

242
00:10:25,668 --> 00:10:27,428
Speaker 6: it as all right, well this the enemy guy is

243
00:10:27,468 --> 00:10:30,188
Speaker 6: well decorated, but it's just like, all right, well Andy Reid.

244
00:10:30,028 --> 00:10:31,428
Speaker 7: Was there too. Can I play that?

245
00:10:31,468 --> 00:10:32,748
Speaker 6: If I'm a player in a room and it's just

246
00:10:32,788 --> 00:10:35,428
Speaker 6: like all right, like you're talking crazy to me, like

247
00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:37,028
Speaker 6: my mom wouldn't talk to me this way.

248
00:10:37,268 --> 00:10:39,268
Speaker 7: Is that a point where it's just like, well, coach.

249
00:10:39,108 --> 00:10:41,468
Speaker 6: Like you brought this guy in, Like is he okay?

250
00:10:41,708 --> 00:10:43,268
Speaker 6: Is there a certain extent where it's not just our

251
00:10:43,428 --> 00:10:45,388
Speaker 6: tough love is just like no, like he's really wished.

252
00:10:45,468 --> 00:10:47,748
Speaker 1: Sure listen if we find out he's setting fires in

253
00:10:47,788 --> 00:10:51,068
Speaker 1: the meeting room and like hurting people. Yeah, But to me,

254
00:10:51,508 --> 00:10:55,548
Speaker 1: I don't know, Lana, where you tell me if someone

255
00:10:55,668 --> 00:10:57,908
Speaker 1: looks at Eric bnemy is you're a coattail writer for

256
00:10:57,988 --> 00:11:00,348
Speaker 1: Andy Reid? Like that? Those are fighting words for sure,

257
00:11:00,548 --> 00:11:02,268
Speaker 1: and like I don't see him that way. I've never

258
00:11:02,308 --> 00:11:05,148
Speaker 1: seen him that way. But you are the command do

259
00:11:05,308 --> 00:11:08,748
Speaker 1: something ever in my adult life and then say they're

260
00:11:08,788 --> 00:11:10,428
Speaker 1: coaching is too hard. They're making us touch the line,

261
00:11:10,468 --> 00:11:11,428
Speaker 1: touch the line you should.

262
00:11:11,588 --> 00:11:12,548
Speaker 7: I'm not mad at that at all.

263
00:11:12,548 --> 00:11:15,868
Speaker 3: There is a new season of tough love, like hard

264
00:11:15,868 --> 00:11:18,388
Speaker 3: nose coaching that's emerging right now, and the Sean Payton

265
00:11:18,468 --> 00:11:20,828
Speaker 3: style is people really trying it on for size. And

266
00:11:20,868 --> 00:11:22,988
Speaker 3: I feel like, now maybe this new era of like

267
00:11:23,108 --> 00:11:25,468
Speaker 3: Nick Sirianni and Eagles practice with a bullhorn, like maybe

268
00:11:25,508 --> 00:11:26,908
Speaker 3: we're kind of coming full circle.

269
00:11:26,628 --> 00:11:30,548
Speaker 1: On coming back. Hope it doesn't allow of walks of

270
00:11:30,588 --> 00:11:32,508
Speaker 1: life not just football coach.

271
00:11:32,388 --> 00:11:34,868
Speaker 3: Like beating your kid one hundred and yeah.

272
00:11:34,628 --> 00:11:37,628
Speaker 2: I know, as I say, we had Leshawan McCoy on

273
00:11:37,668 --> 00:11:39,348
Speaker 2: the show here, like I think he's been public about

274
00:11:39,708 --> 00:11:42,188
Speaker 2: Shad Shady has takes on Eric bene me and when

275
00:11:42,188 --> 00:11:44,708
Speaker 2: he airs him out, people are like, oh, that's a shade,

276
00:11:45,028 --> 00:11:47,668
Speaker 2: Shady says it. He played there, Like there are people

277
00:11:47,668 --> 00:11:49,628
Speaker 2: who played in the Chiefs organization who are like, he

278
00:11:49,708 --> 00:11:50,668
Speaker 2: just wasn't my cup of tea.

279
00:11:50,748 --> 00:11:52,268
Speaker 1: So ron knew this was coming.

280
00:11:52,348 --> 00:11:55,028
Speaker 2: Maybe the players weren't ready for what they're getting.

281
00:11:55,948 --> 00:11:58,148

Speaker 7: Tries out.

337
00:14:35,748 --> 00:14:37,948
Speaker 2: Arthur Smith is the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons.

338
00:14:37,988 --> 00:14:39,388
Speaker 2: He's watching this practice.

339
00:14:39,508 --> 00:14:40,348

355
00:15:24,388 --> 00:15:27,908
Speaker 2: team playing for AJ Brown's old coach. We love these

00:15:31,628 --> 00:15:32,388
Speaker 1: But this is your guy.

359
00:15:32,428 --> 00:15:35,548

Speaker 2: last few days with Jeff Akuda and Clark Phillips went down.

361
00:15:38,588 --> 00:15:41,348
Speaker 2: Natron Brooks has a shot. Keep an eye on him

362
00:15:41,388 --> 00:15:43,988
Speaker 2: this weekend when the Atlanta Falcons take the field. AJ

363
00:15:44,108 --> 00:15:47,148
Speaker 2: Brown's cousin and high school teammate getting a shot in

364
00:15:47,188 --> 00:15:47,748
Speaker 2: the NFL.

365
00:15:47,828 --> 00:15:52,868
Speaker 1: All right, Instagram handles NB two cold like that that we're.

366
00:15:52,708 --> 00:15:55,228
Speaker 2: Talking about high school teammates right, Well, we've got more

367
00:15:55,748 --> 00:15:57,748
Speaker 2: and I want to go through their story. My number

368
00:15:57,788 --> 00:16:00,828
Speaker 2: two is a tandem. If that's possible. Am I allowed

369
00:16:00,868 --> 00:16:05,268
Speaker 2: to do that? It's kult cornerback Juju Brants and cult

370
00:16:05,388 --> 00:16:11,828
Speaker 2: safety Michael Tutzi. Great names, Brents and Tutsi, Juju and Tutsy.

371
00:16:12,348 --> 00:16:15,148
Speaker 2: It is your next buddy comedy, and they go all

372
00:16:15,148 --> 00:16:19,028
Speaker 2: the way back to youth football. Let me explain. Both

373
00:16:19,068 --> 00:16:22,468
Speaker 2: these guys are local products. Here. They were Pop Warner

374
00:16:22,548 --> 00:16:27,228
Speaker 2: teammates at Warren Central in Indianapolis. Okay, these are guys

375
00:16:27,228 --> 00:16:30,468
Speaker 2: that lived fifteen minutes from Lucas Oil Stadium.

376
00:16:30,988 --> 00:16:33,748
Speaker 7: Brents were number eight. Tutsi right over here.

377
00:16:34,028 --> 00:16:36,828
Speaker 2: Tutsi's dad, Steve, coached both of them on their little

378
00:16:36,868 --> 00:16:38,908
Speaker 2: league team. Going back even further, when they were in

379
00:16:39,268 --> 00:16:42,828
Speaker 2: their eighth grade, seventh grade, this guy's dad was their coach.

380
00:16:42,908 --> 00:16:46,028
Speaker 2: All right, We've got two best friends growing up. They

381
00:16:46,068 --> 00:16:48,748
Speaker 2: go to play high school together, they go their separate ways,

382
00:16:48,868 --> 00:16:51,308
Speaker 2: and when they go their separate ways, one of them

383
00:16:51,588 --> 00:16:53,668
Speaker 2: goes on to be a star in college, and that's

384
00:16:53,748 --> 00:16:56,308
Speaker 2: Juju Brents. He goes on to be first team All

385
00:16:56,348 --> 00:16:59,508
Speaker 2: Big twelve at Kansas State. In a combine workout warrior,

386
00:16:59,908 --> 00:17:04,028
Speaker 2: he goes in the second round. Okay, Tutsi doesn't go

387
00:17:04,788 --> 00:17:08,468
Speaker 2: Big twelve, doesn't go to the SEC. Michael Tutsy ends

388
00:17:08,548 --> 00:17:13,148
Speaker 2: up going to North Dakota State where he goes undrafted.

389
00:17:13,708 --> 00:17:15,988
Speaker 2: Guess where they both are in camp. They're both with

390
00:17:16,108 --> 00:17:18,308
Speaker 2: the Colts right now about it, both trying to make

391
00:17:18,348 --> 00:17:21,788
Speaker 2: the team. They were Pop Warner teammates, one of their

392
00:17:21,828 --> 00:17:24,428
Speaker 2: fathers was the other one's coach in little league, and

393
00:17:24,468 --> 00:17:27,228
Speaker 2: now they're both trying to make the Indianapolis Colts. Juju

394
00:17:27,308 --> 00:17:29,708
Speaker 2: Brent is gonna make it. We're rooting for Michael Tootsie.

395
00:17:29,788 --> 00:17:31,628
Speaker 2: Keeping out on both these guys now they know their

396
00:17:31,668 --> 00:17:35,948
Speaker 2: story and shout out to Warren Central in Indianapolis, turning

397
00:17:35,988 --> 00:17:36,788
Speaker 2: out this town.

398
00:17:36,548 --> 00:17:38,308
Speaker 7: Warren Central.

399
00:17:38,988 --> 00:17:41,468
Speaker 2: My last player that we're gonna pull for in the preseason,

400
00:17:41,548 --> 00:17:42,788
Speaker 2: the guy who's gonna make the team.

401
00:17:42,828 --> 00:17:43,428
Speaker 7: But it's story.

402
00:17:43,588 --> 00:17:45,668
Speaker 2: Just even having him on the field is awesome. Amy,

403
00:17:45,708 --> 00:17:47,988
Speaker 2: I know you're close to this. That's John Metchi. John

404
00:17:48,028 --> 00:17:50,788
Speaker 2: Metchi is a wide receiver for the Houston Texans. He

405
00:17:50,948 --> 00:17:53,748
Speaker 2: was selected in the second round of the NFL Draft

406
00:17:53,908 --> 00:17:57,628
Speaker 2: last year, but his college tape was the last tape

407
00:17:57,668 --> 00:18:00,028
Speaker 2: we've seen of him on a football field. Because of

408
00:18:00,228 --> 00:18:04,108
Speaker 2: unfortunate circumstances, John Metchi missed his rookie season while undergoing

409
00:18:04,148 --> 00:18:07,188
Speaker 2: tree meant for leukemia that she was diagnosed with apl

410
00:18:07,268 --> 00:18:10,668
Speaker 2: that's a cute promeleoctic leukemia, and it was in July

411
00:18:10,748 --> 00:18:12,988
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty two. He found this out about a

412
00:18:13,068 --> 00:18:16,028
Speaker 2: year ago. Said hey, you're gonna have to undergo some treatments.

413
00:18:16,068 --> 00:18:19,748
Speaker 2: You're going to miss this season. And he did receive treatment,

414
00:18:19,788 --> 00:18:22,588
Speaker 2: and unfortunately he was in Houston, where the MD Anderson

415
00:18:22,588 --> 00:18:24,188
Speaker 2: Cancer Center is one of the best in the world

416
00:18:24,508 --> 00:18:27,508
Speaker 2: and is located two miles away from NRG Stadium where

417
00:18:27,548 --> 00:18:30,468
Speaker 2: the Texans play. Here's this guy who is a breakout

418
00:18:30,468 --> 00:18:33,548
Speaker 2: player at Alabama. This was in his twenty twenty one season,

419
00:18:33,628 --> 00:18:36,548
Speaker 2: ninety six receptions. But he's had faith through it all

420
00:18:36,708 --> 00:18:38,868
Speaker 2: and he is now ready to go back onto the field.

421
00:18:39,188 --> 00:18:41,988
Speaker 2: Mechi was cleared to participate in Texans training camp in

422
00:18:42,028 --> 00:18:44,548
Speaker 2: late July. He's out there on the field and he

423
00:18:44,588 --> 00:18:45,908
Speaker 2: was asked about his return.

424
00:18:45,668 --> 00:18:46,828
Speaker 7: To football this week.

425
00:18:48,508 --> 00:18:50,668
Speaker 1: Well, I feel like at the beginning stages, of course,

426
00:18:50,668 --> 00:18:52,308
Speaker 1: you don't know what's going to happen. You don't know

427
00:18:52,348 --> 00:18:53,188
Speaker 1: what the future has.

428
00:18:53,028 --> 00:18:53,668
Speaker 8: In store for you.

429
00:18:54,068 --> 00:18:56,948
Speaker 1: You of course hope that you can you overcome in

430
00:18:56,948 --> 00:18:57,428
Speaker 1: and play.

431
00:18:57,268 --> 00:18:59,708
Speaker 4: Football, But I would probably say probably the beginning stages

432
00:18:59,868 --> 00:19:01,868
Speaker 4: there might have been some doubt, but I've had a

433
00:19:01,868 --> 00:19:02,428
Speaker 4: strong faith.

434
00:19:02,428 --> 00:19:03,748
Speaker 1: I had a strong faith then and I have a

435
00:19:03,748 --> 00:19:04,388
Speaker 1: strong faith now.

436
00:19:04,508 --> 00:19:08,548
Speaker 2: So imagine this young man's life. He goes from being

437
00:19:08,548 --> 00:19:11,468
Speaker 2: a college superstar, second round pick to getting this earth

438
00:19:11,548 --> 00:19:15,548
Speaker 2: shattering diagnosis, going through the treatments, going through the illness,

439
00:19:15,588 --> 00:19:17,588
Speaker 2: and then a year later, getting a chance to get

440
00:19:17,588 --> 00:19:19,868
Speaker 2: back on the football field. There are some really cool

441
00:19:19,908 --> 00:19:21,668
Speaker 2: stories in training camp. I don't think there's a better

442
00:19:21,708 --> 00:19:24,348
Speaker 2: one than John Mitchi's right now pulling for this young

443
00:19:24,348 --> 00:19:26,108
Speaker 2: man and cannot wait to see him take an NFL

444
00:19:26,228 --> 00:19:29,348
Speaker 2: field this weekend they play the Patriots. Here's the list

445
00:19:29,468 --> 00:19:31,548
Speaker 2: ten to one. I love this, but I want to

446
00:19:31,548 --> 00:19:33,628
Speaker 2: focus on one, two and three. All three of these

447
00:19:33,628 --> 00:19:37,508
Speaker 2: are really cool stories. I'm going to start off with

448
00:19:37,628 --> 00:19:40,588
Speaker 2: Jamie Rdall, who covered John Mitchi in college and knows

449
00:19:40,668 --> 00:19:43,228
Speaker 2: the man very well. Your thoughts on his return to

450
00:19:43,228 --> 00:19:43,828
Speaker 2: the football film.

451
00:19:43,948 --> 00:19:46,908
Speaker 3: I'm so glad how good he looks when he's up

452
00:19:46,908 --> 00:19:49,188
Speaker 3: there at that press conference. I could not believe that

453
00:19:49,268 --> 00:19:51,108
Speaker 3: news when it came out last year. It was just

454
00:19:51,148 --> 00:19:54,108
Speaker 3: crazy to think of such a young, healthy man being

455
00:19:54,108 --> 00:19:56,148
Speaker 3: diagnosed with something like that. He was in the perfect

456
00:19:56,188 --> 00:19:59,588
Speaker 3: spot to go further back. He grew up in Canada.

457
00:19:59,708 --> 00:20:02,028
Speaker 3: He left home in Canada when he was fourteen to

458
00:20:02,028 --> 00:20:04,748
Speaker 3: go to high school in Maryland to learn American football

459
00:20:04,748 --> 00:20:07,708
Speaker 3: properly because someone identified him as a young kid like

460
00:20:07,748 --> 00:20:09,108
Speaker 3: you're going to be really good, but you're not going

461
00:20:09,188 --> 00:20:10,708
Speaker 3: to be good enough here. You got to go to

462
00:20:10,748 --> 00:20:12,908
Speaker 3: the States. So he's been away from home for a

463
00:20:12,948 --> 00:20:15,348
Speaker 3: long time. I can't imagine what that diagnosis did to

464
00:20:15,388 --> 00:20:17,868
Speaker 3: his mother, who is in Canada. He's just been through it.

465
00:20:17,908 --> 00:20:19,988
Speaker 3: He has been battling so that the Alabama thing is

466
00:20:20,028 --> 00:20:22,668
Speaker 3: like he really prospered there, but he has been fighting

467
00:20:22,708 --> 00:20:24,388
Speaker 3: for this opportunity for a long time.

468
00:20:24,548 --> 00:20:27,988
Speaker 6: Wow, that's so amazing. Think about that journey, Yeah, to

469
00:20:28,028 --> 00:20:30,708
Speaker 6: get to where he finally is. And you talked about

470
00:20:30,788 --> 00:20:33,628
Speaker 6: Juju Brents and Michael TITSI like being on a Pop

471
00:20:33,668 --> 00:20:36,668
Speaker 6: Warner football team, dreaming of hey, one day we could

472
00:20:36,708 --> 00:20:39,828
Speaker 6: be playing for the Indianapolis Colts, living right there in

473
00:20:39,868 --> 00:20:42,468
Speaker 6: the same So to be there to make it and

474
00:20:42,548 --> 00:20:44,628
Speaker 6: have that opportunity, but also be doing it with one

475
00:20:44,628 --> 00:20:46,788
Speaker 6: of your buddies where you separate it and now you're

476
00:20:46,948 --> 00:20:49,828
Speaker 6: like that story to me, Warren Central Football, Pop Warn

477
00:20:49,908 --> 00:20:50,428
Speaker 6: that's awesome.

478
00:20:50,588 --> 00:20:52,508
Speaker 1: I love the second Peter because sometimes when you're doing it,

479
00:20:52,508 --> 00:20:54,428
Speaker 1: I'll try to pull up some information to follow along,

480
00:20:54,468 --> 00:20:57,548
Speaker 1: Like Natron Brooks has no Wikipedia page. It just doesn't exist.

481
00:20:57,668 --> 00:20:59,748
Speaker 1: No one has made it yet. And here's what I got.

482
00:20:59,948 --> 00:21:02,908
Speaker 1: Remember when the Jags played the Bills and Josh Allen

483
00:21:02,988 --> 00:21:05,508
Speaker 1: sacked Josh Allen and everybody else of mind? Week ten,

484
00:21:05,948 --> 00:21:10,948
Speaker 1: Colts Patriots in Germany, we could have Juju covering Juju. Yes,

485
00:21:11,308 --> 00:21:14,428
Speaker 1: that would be an unbelievable moment for this league. Brents

486
00:21:14,508 --> 00:21:18,508
Speaker 1: versus Smith Schuster. We need it. Colts Pats in Germany, dunka.

487
00:21:18,348 --> 00:21:25,668
Speaker 2: Your mind, your mind juju Jujujuju season this weekend, toss

488
00:21:25,708 --> 00:21:27,308
Speaker 2: him on for these guys are all the place.

489
00:21:27,348 --> 00:21:28,948
Speaker 3: You just need someone on the path to be nicknamed

490
00:21:28,988 --> 00:21:29,628
Speaker 3: Tutsie and then.

491
00:21:29,508 --> 00:21:36,628
Speaker 1: We're Dustin Hoffins. It's eight great Erry Guard.

492
00:21:36,828 --> 00:21:40,388
Speaker 9: Let's go I eight special brother. I don't care what

493
00:21:40,508 --> 00:21:43,428
Speaker 9: nobody said about eight. Eight is a special dude. Any

494
00:21:43,508 --> 00:21:47,188
Speaker 9: coolest that'd be the gread thing about He coolest isn't

495
00:21:47,228 --> 00:21:51,988
Speaker 9: letting what people portray about him on TV. Whatever they

496
00:21:51,988 --> 00:21:57,228
Speaker 9: say about a And Rodgers on TV is a lie.

497
00:21:57,548 --> 00:22:00,348
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers no look passes or they talk of camp.

498
00:22:00,468 --> 00:22:05,148
Speaker 7: If you want to know, look, no, Lie.

499
00:22:04,508 --> 00:22:06,868
Speaker 2: I really didn't know, Luke King, I just let my

500
00:22:06,908 --> 00:22:09,308
Speaker 2: throat speak for theyselve. So are you trying to do

501
00:22:09,348 --> 00:22:11,228
Speaker 2: Aaron's no look packed trying?

502
00:22:11,748 --> 00:22:12,468
Speaker 1: I definitely did it.

503
00:22:12,508 --> 00:22:16,108
Speaker 2: If I was trying to do it, I'd do it all.

504
00:22:18,828 --> 00:22:22,028
Speaker 3: Imitation is the biggest form of flattery, From the King

505
00:22:22,068 --> 00:22:24,428
Speaker 3: of the North to the King of the Northeast. Aaron

506
00:22:24,468 --> 00:22:28,108
Speaker 3: Rodgers was the star of last night's first episode of

507
00:22:28,188 --> 00:22:31,388
Speaker 3: Hard Knocks. Favorite moment Guys from Hard Knocks. I know

508
00:22:31,588 --> 00:22:33,428
Speaker 3: we were just waiting for this thing to come out,

509
00:22:33,468 --> 00:22:35,868
Speaker 3: and then when it did, it was just packed full.

510
00:22:36,228 --> 00:22:38,748
Speaker 1: So few things live up to the hype day one.

511
00:22:38,828 --> 00:22:41,428
Speaker 1: Hard Knock's viewer for two decades now, and I'm sitting

512
00:22:41,428 --> 00:22:44,228
Speaker 1: there last night watching Rogers Who's a Jet talking to

513
00:22:44,308 --> 00:22:46,988
Speaker 1: Leab Schreiber about surfing and Chico and whether or not

514
00:22:46,988 --> 00:22:49,948
Speaker 1: there's piranhas and what the hell? They gave us everything

515
00:22:49,988 --> 00:22:52,548
Speaker 1: we wanted. It was a fever dream of incredible stuff,

516
00:22:52,868 --> 00:22:56,708
Speaker 1: right down to Zach Wilson eats uncrustables at halftimes the Games,

517
00:22:56,748 --> 00:23:00,668
Speaker 1: and I thought that was fascinating to sauce, and I

518
00:23:00,668 --> 00:23:02,308
Speaker 1: am a little bit speechless from it. I was so

519
00:23:02,428 --> 00:23:05,388
Speaker 1: pleased and so satisfied. What did you guys think, Peter, Yeah, I.

520
00:23:05,308 --> 00:23:07,748
Speaker 2: Thought that we also got to see a little bit

521
00:23:07,788 --> 00:23:09,748
Speaker 2: of Slah that we don't know that speech that you

522
00:23:09,788 --> 00:23:11,828
Speaker 2: referenced in the beginning of the show about the eagles

523
00:23:11,828 --> 00:23:13,428
Speaker 2: and the crows and the bite in the neck and

524
00:23:13,428 --> 00:23:16,228
Speaker 2: then if they ain't hating you ain't popping. Then I

525
00:23:16,268 --> 00:23:17,308
Speaker 2: was like, I don't know what that is. Apparently it

526
00:23:17,388 --> 00:23:19,148
Speaker 2: is a real rap song. They played it underneath it,

527
00:23:19,148 --> 00:23:22,428
Speaker 2: and Sala has a much greater knowledge of Yeah, much

528
00:23:22,428 --> 00:23:23,508
Speaker 2: greater knowledge of music.

529
00:23:23,308 --> 00:23:23,588
Speaker 7: Than I do.

530
00:23:23,788 --> 00:23:25,828
Speaker 2: I thought Salah came off really good too, because then

531
00:23:25,828 --> 00:23:27,868
Speaker 2: there's questions whether he's going to be the man to

532
00:23:27,988 --> 00:23:29,588
Speaker 2: lead these guys to an actual Super Bowl.

533
00:23:29,628 --> 00:23:29,828
Speaker 4: Yeah.

534
00:23:29,828 --> 00:23:32,628
Speaker 6: The conversations that go on on the sideline always fun.

535
00:23:33,028 --> 00:23:36,028
Speaker 6: The possibility to or an attempt to say a charcouterie board.

536
00:23:36,068 --> 00:23:39,068
Speaker 6: Oh God, that was a very entertaining God bless them

537
00:23:39,068 --> 00:23:39,548
Speaker 6: for putting that.

538
00:23:39,588 --> 00:23:42,188
Speaker 7: In my glance, probably my favorite part of this.

539
00:23:42,348 --> 00:23:43,868
Speaker 1: They call it, they call it something in decent.

540
00:23:44,108 --> 00:23:49,628
Speaker 3: Yeah, made Quinn and Williams double over that was.

541
00:23:49,588 --> 00:23:50,388
Speaker 7: Made for HBO.

542
00:23:50,508 --> 00:23:53,508
Speaker 6: Will say that the part during the preseason game where

543
00:23:53,508 --> 00:23:56,588
Speaker 6: like the starters weren't in the game and they weren't

544
00:23:56,588 --> 00:23:59,508
Speaker 6: conducting in game interview and they were like cheering their

545
00:23:59,548 --> 00:24:02,948
Speaker 6: teammates on and sauces going nuts, and Aaron's calling to

546
00:24:02,988 --> 00:24:05,268
Speaker 6: play in. I thought that was really cool and kind

547
00:24:05,268 --> 00:24:07,508
Speaker 6: of archaic and old school that you come out the

548
00:24:07,508 --> 00:24:09,708
Speaker 6: game and you cheer and you support your teammates.

549
00:24:09,748 --> 00:24:11,308
Speaker 3: That was really But then that part where they had

550
00:24:11,348 --> 00:24:13,068
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers on in the second.

551
00:24:12,748 --> 00:24:14,068
Speaker 7: Half, yeah, it was very small.

552
00:24:14,428 --> 00:24:14,988
Speaker 1: Really well, the.

553
00:24:14,948 --> 00:24:17,148
Speaker 3: Actual interview was quite lengthy because the drive went on

554
00:24:17,228 --> 00:24:20,988
Speaker 3: for quite some time. Specifically the game that Nathaniel Hackett

555
00:24:21,028 --> 00:24:25,748
Speaker 3: and Aaron Rodgers play the pylon. Ye Oh, it was fantastic,

556
00:24:25,908 --> 00:24:27,588
Speaker 3: especially the things they were trying to say to each

557
00:24:27,628 --> 00:24:29,748
Speaker 3: other to mess each other up, and at is what

558
00:24:29,908 --> 00:24:33,468
Speaker 3: got us to the Sean Payton in which we saw

559
00:24:33,508 --> 00:24:36,108
Speaker 3: the cameo for one Peter Schrager. But that game, I

560
00:24:36,148 --> 00:24:38,148
Speaker 3: kind of want to play it Good Morning Football.

561
00:24:38,188 --> 00:24:40,588
Speaker 1: I was not doing great at show because he was rapping.

562
00:24:40,748 --> 00:24:43,508
Speaker 1: If you miss it, they'll say things like naked clowns

563
00:24:43,588 --> 00:24:47,668
Speaker 1: or whatever. And as Nathaniel Hackett is throwing right as

564
00:24:47,708 --> 00:24:50,268
Speaker 1: he's throwing Sean Payton and he's like, oh, that was

565
00:24:50,268 --> 00:24:52,628
Speaker 1: a good one because that news was the reference.

566
00:24:52,308 --> 00:24:55,308
Speaker 2: Is great, but also it's from BASEketball the movie, which

567
00:24:55,388 --> 00:24:57,308
Speaker 2: is you know references.

568
00:24:57,668 --> 00:24:59,508
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, we did the gold Member thing. I will

569
00:24:59,508 --> 00:25:01,548
Speaker 1: say this, like that Rogers said they shoved it down

570
00:25:01,548 --> 00:25:03,228
Speaker 1: our throats. The Jets run record they didn't want to

571
00:25:03,228 --> 00:25:04,708
Speaker 1: do it. A lot of teams are like that when

572
00:25:04,748 --> 00:25:07,188
Speaker 1: you do it, though, Man, you look beautiful and you

573
00:25:07,628 --> 00:25:10,148
Speaker 1: I think case in point, Zach Wilson for the last

574
00:25:10,188 --> 00:25:12,628
Speaker 1: couple of years has been a punchline at best. He's

575
00:25:12,628 --> 00:25:14,508
Speaker 1: been beaten, right. He looked awesome in the episode. He

576
00:25:14,508 --> 00:25:16,908
Speaker 1: looked relatable. He looked like a young, excited guy who's

577
00:25:16,948 --> 00:25:18,628
Speaker 1: here to learn and has got big arms and Kent

578
00:25:18,668 --> 00:25:20,908
Speaker 1: chuck it like Zach Wilson came off from the episode great.

579
00:25:20,948 --> 00:25:22,588
Speaker 1: When if we said that about Zach, wasn't an eighth.

580
00:25:22,508 --> 00:25:24,348
Speaker 6: No doubt about it. How about to your point, force

581
00:25:24,428 --> 00:25:26,788
Speaker 6: it down. Lee goes up to Aaron Rodgers like, why

582
00:25:26,788 --> 00:25:28,788
Speaker 6: don't guys want to do it? And the pressure to

583
00:25:28,828 --> 00:25:32,108
Speaker 6: answer that question because you have said you didn't want

584
00:25:32,148 --> 00:25:32,508
Speaker 6: to do it.

585
00:25:32,668 --> 00:25:33,908
Speaker 7: I thought that was about.

586
00:25:34,148 --> 00:25:35,548
Speaker 2: Stuff like we were talking about how they're going to

587
00:25:35,588 --> 00:25:37,628
Speaker 2: break the fourth wall. He'd never been on Hard Knocks.

588
00:25:37,668 --> 00:25:40,508
Speaker 2: There he was, and they really nailed it. Yeah, he's funny,

589
00:25:40,628 --> 00:25:43,308
Speaker 2: he's self aware. They use his voice, you know, and

590
00:25:43,508 --> 00:25:45,188
Speaker 2: over and over again. Rodgers is like trying to talk

591
00:25:45,228 --> 00:25:45,468
Speaker 2: to me.

592
00:25:45,468 --> 00:25:46,548
Speaker 1: Like, guys, that's the voice.

593
00:25:46,588 --> 00:25:47,548
Speaker 2: That's the voice of Hard Knocks.

594
00:25:47,628 --> 00:25:52,348
Speaker 1: You can go say hi to him. God's great, that's rude.

595
00:25:52,388 --> 00:25:54,828
Speaker 1: It was an amazing treat for Hard Knocks viewers when

596
00:25:54,908 --> 00:25:57,548
Speaker 1: Leeb Striper started talking about himself as the hell and like,

597
00:25:57,548 --> 00:25:58,868
Speaker 1: oh my god, they're gonna do it. They're really going

598
00:25:58,908 --> 00:25:59,188
Speaker 1: to do it.

599
00:25:59,188 --> 00:26:00,748
Speaker 7: I was so excited when he turned and looked at

600
00:26:00,788 --> 00:26:01,228
Speaker 7: the camera.

601
00:26:01,268 --> 00:26:02,748
Speaker 3: It was like I got a game ball, but if

602
00:26:02,748 --> 00:26:04,748
Speaker 3: someone tries to hit no, I'm just gonna say it down.

603
00:26:04,828 --> 00:26:05,468
Speaker 1: That was so good.

604
00:26:06,068 --> 00:26:08,268
Speaker 3: And saus Gardner graduated college and that whole thing he

605
00:26:08,308 --> 00:26:08,788
Speaker 3: went into.

606
00:26:08,948 --> 00:26:09,988
Speaker 1: Nick showed up.

607
00:26:12,148 --> 00:26:13,988
Speaker 7: That was the first episode.

608
00:26:14,268 --> 00:26:16,668
Speaker 3: He was so good. Thank you Hard Knocks. What else

609
00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:18,228
Speaker 3: could they do? I feel like that could have been good.

610
00:26:18,108 --> 00:26:20,668
Speaker 1: With your film. I need Hard Knocks on Daniel Jones

611
00:26:20,708 --> 00:26:22,748
Speaker 1: and the New York Giants. We need to get behind Daniel.

612
00:26:22,828 --> 00:26:24,628
Speaker 1: I know what he's got going oh, we're talking about

613
00:26:24,668 --> 00:26:25,068
Speaker 1: him next.

614
00:26:25,148 --> 00:26:26,788
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, look at that. Are people convinced that

615
00:26:26,908 --> 00:26:29,388
Speaker 3: Danny Dimes is it for the New York Giants? Can

616
00:26:29,388 --> 00:26:48,588
Speaker 3: you prove the daughters wronging Giants Lions joint practice. Peter

617
00:26:48,668 --> 00:26:52,348
Speaker 3: said it yesterday ahead of their preseason matchup Friday night.

618
00:26:52,388 --> 00:26:55,708
Speaker 3: We mentioned it yesterday, the Dabile Campbell personality mix at

619
00:26:55,708 --> 00:26:59,108
Speaker 3: this joint practice will be excellent, but it was reportedly

620
00:26:59,228 --> 00:27:02,788
Speaker 3: a so so day for the Giants quarterback struggling against

621
00:27:02,788 --> 00:27:06,348
Speaker 3: the Detroit Lions on in feisty defense. Here's what Daniel

622
00:27:06,428 --> 00:27:10,268
Speaker 3: Jones told the media after said practice.

623
00:27:11,228 --> 00:27:11,868
Speaker 7: I thought it was good.

624
00:27:11,908 --> 00:27:13,908
Speaker 8: I think, you know, certainly some things we can sharpen

625
00:27:13,988 --> 00:27:16,708
Speaker 8: up with clean up execution wise, but overall, I thought

626
00:27:16,988 --> 00:27:19,188
Speaker 8: we made some plays here and there. Just got to

627
00:27:19,228 --> 00:27:21,268
Speaker 8: be more consistent and take advantage of some of those

628
00:27:21,268 --> 00:27:24,588
Speaker 8: opportunities we had. Obviously, it's an extremely competitive situation to go,

629
00:27:24,748 --> 00:27:26,748
Speaker 8: you know, practice against another team, but I think it

630
00:27:26,828 --> 00:27:29,508
Speaker 8: just comes down to hitting it and take advantage of

631
00:27:29,508 --> 00:27:31,468
Speaker 8: the opportunities when we have them. So yeah, maybe it's

632
00:27:31,468 --> 00:27:33,828
Speaker 8: a little bit different field to the practice practicing against

633
00:27:33,828 --> 00:27:35,228
Speaker 8: another team, but the end of the day, you just

634
00:27:35,228 --> 00:27:35,988
Speaker 8: got to we've.

635
00:27:35,828 --> 00:27:36,348
Speaker 1: Got to hit it.

636
00:27:38,468 --> 00:27:41,148
Speaker 3: So a reminder, Daniel Jones got a four year, one

637
00:27:41,228 --> 00:27:44,828
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty million dollars deal back in March that

638
00:27:44,868 --> 00:27:48,028
Speaker 3: put him amongst the highest paid quarterbacks in the NFC,

639
00:27:48,988 --> 00:27:52,748
Speaker 3: seated squarely behind Hertz and Hurray. But despite Giants fans

640
00:27:52,828 --> 00:27:54,908
Speaker 3: and their faith in him, there are still plenty of

641
00:27:54,988 --> 00:27:59,188
Speaker 3: critics out there because kind of along with Jalen Hurts

642
00:27:59,188 --> 00:28:02,428
Speaker 3: conversation Kyle, it's like one good season, like one playoff win,

643
00:28:02,508 --> 00:28:04,508
Speaker 3: and that's what got Daniel Jones to the bank. But

644
00:28:04,588 --> 00:28:07,628
Speaker 3: how can he finally silence his doubters this season? Peter,

645
00:28:07,748 --> 00:28:09,268
Speaker 3: what's the barumeter we're working with here?

646
00:28:09,348 --> 00:28:11,988
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny because I watched Justin Herbert have

647
00:28:12,028 --> 00:28:14,148
Speaker 2: a twenty seven point lead at home in the playoffs

648
00:28:14,148 --> 00:28:18,188
Speaker 2: and blow in stuff. I've watched a lot of guys

649
00:28:18,548 --> 00:28:21,228
Speaker 2: her cousins, you know, win eleven game, go into a

650
00:28:21,308 --> 00:28:23,748
Speaker 2: home game playoffs and lose to Daniel Jones. And Daniel

651
00:28:23,828 --> 00:28:26,588
Speaker 2: Jones gets a contract that puts him at twelve overall

652
00:28:26,588 --> 00:28:29,108
Speaker 2: in the league, and once Burrow gets his, he'll be thirteen,

653
00:28:29,508 --> 00:28:31,588
Speaker 2: and people freak out they doesn't deserve it. He doesn't

654
00:28:31,628 --> 00:28:34,348
Speaker 2: deserve it. Daniel Jones a playoff winning quarterback, and Daniel

655
00:28:34,428 --> 00:28:36,708
Speaker 2: Jones had no offense to these guys. He didn't have

656
00:28:36,828 --> 00:28:39,348
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson and Allen at wide receiver last year. I'm

657
00:28:39,348 --> 00:28:40,708
Speaker 2: getting defensive of Daniel Jones.

658
00:28:40,908 --> 00:28:42,668
Speaker 1: Derek carrs never won to a playoff game, cars to

659
00:28:42,668 --> 00:28:45,988
Speaker 1: playoff game. That's another stray. We're just doing straight THEREK

660
00:28:46,028 --> 00:28:47,588
Speaker 1: Carr has nothing to do with the conversation. I want

661
00:28:47,628 --> 00:28:48,388
Speaker 1: him in there, Kyler.

662
00:28:48,428 --> 00:28:52,308
Speaker 2: Who'd rather hae? He's the thirteenth highest paid quarterback in

663
00:28:52,348 --> 00:28:54,188
Speaker 2: the league, and he's a guy who is twenty five

664
00:28:54,268 --> 00:28:55,868
Speaker 2: years old and won a playoff game on the road.

665
00:28:55,868 --> 00:28:57,468
Speaker 2: I'd sign up for that. I think he's all right.

666
00:28:57,548 --> 00:28:59,868
Speaker 2: He's got the respect of his teammates. I don't think

667
00:28:59,908 --> 00:29:01,868
Speaker 2: he needs to prove anyone wrong, and I think this

668
00:29:01,988 --> 00:29:03,908
Speaker 2: year he's gonna do it again. I feel like he's

669
00:29:03,908 --> 00:29:05,748
Speaker 2: gonna have an o good year and he's gonna win Clutch.

670
00:29:05,708 --> 00:29:07,748
Speaker 2: He's only going to get better from all the things

671
00:29:07,788 --> 00:29:10,748
Speaker 2: I hear. He is Awsoman camp. So you now take

672
00:29:10,788 --> 00:29:12,668
Speaker 2: a wide receiver room, which last year at the end

673
00:29:12,668 --> 00:29:14,268
Speaker 2: of the season, who's he throwing it? He was throwing

674
00:29:14,268 --> 00:29:16,868
Speaker 2: it like Isaiah Hodgens, who was a great story but

675
00:29:17,028 --> 00:29:18,868
Speaker 2: was not a guy who expected to be his number

676
00:29:18,868 --> 00:29:21,948
Speaker 2: one receiver. And now you add in Darren Waller, you

677
00:29:21,988 --> 00:29:25,148
Speaker 2: add in Paris Campbell, you give him Jalen Hyatt, like

678
00:29:25,188 --> 00:29:28,788
Speaker 2: these are for real weapons. I don't think he has

679
00:29:29,348 --> 00:29:31,268
Speaker 2: to prove anyone anything wrong. Last year. What he did

680
00:29:31,388 --> 00:29:33,748
Speaker 2: is far more than what most quarterbacks in the league

681
00:29:33,748 --> 00:29:35,948
Speaker 2: did last year. He has to bring it again this year.

682
00:29:35,988 --> 00:29:38,188
Speaker 2: So on defensive of Daniel Jones, because I don't think

683
00:29:38,228 --> 00:29:39,628
Speaker 2: he talks a big game. I don't think he's flashy.

684
00:29:39,668 --> 00:29:41,068
Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna be voted to the NFL

685
00:29:41,148 --> 00:29:42,748
Speaker 2: Top one hundred by anyone. But last year he was

686
00:29:42,748 --> 00:29:43,708
Speaker 2: a top one hundred player.

687
00:29:43,868 --> 00:29:46,108
Speaker 1: Proved a lot last year. It was a huge step

688
00:29:46,548 --> 00:29:51,228
Speaker 1: to the question specifically of silence his doubters. Like everyone's like,

689
00:29:51,428 --> 00:29:53,268
Speaker 1: I'm cool with Daniel Jones. I think he has to

690
00:29:53,268 --> 00:29:55,748
Speaker 1: be the best player on this offense. The best because

691
00:29:55,788 --> 00:29:57,468
Speaker 1: there is a thing right now with him where there's

692
00:29:57,508 --> 00:29:59,548
Speaker 1: a little bit of an eye roll because he is

693
00:29:59,588 --> 00:30:02,108
Speaker 1: the highest paid player, not because he's the best player,

694
00:30:02,108 --> 00:30:03,908
Speaker 1: because he plays the best position. Like we know that,

695
00:30:04,068 --> 00:30:06,108
Speaker 1: Like take one, Barkley is better at running back than

696
00:30:06,148 --> 00:30:08,108
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is a quarterback right now. If but Daniel

697
00:30:08,148 --> 00:30:10,628
Speaker 1: Jones has all this money, become the best player. Jalen

698
00:30:10,668 --> 00:30:12,748
Speaker 1: Hurts is the best player I think on the Eagles offense.

699
00:30:12,788 --> 00:30:15,468
Speaker 1: He's better than Kelsey. I think he's better than everybody, Mahomes,

700
00:30:15,508 --> 00:30:18,268
Speaker 1: all these guys, probably even Dak I mean maybe Ceedee Lamb,

701
00:30:18,308 --> 00:30:21,308
Speaker 1: who knows be the best guy on that offense because

702
00:30:21,348 --> 00:30:23,548
Speaker 1: he can run the offense and be fine and do this,

703
00:30:23,748 --> 00:30:26,028
Speaker 1: do that, and even win another playoff game. But can't

704
00:30:26,028 --> 00:30:27,908
Speaker 1: you just become a killer? Like this is a year

705
00:30:27,948 --> 00:30:31,588
Speaker 1: of killers. I was listening to Mark Slareth was unrichising

706
00:30:31,668 --> 00:30:33,788
Speaker 1: yesterday and he was talking about Hall of Famers and

707
00:30:33,788 --> 00:30:35,588
Speaker 1: he said, I was talking to John Lynch and he's like,

708
00:30:35,668 --> 00:30:37,668
Speaker 1: I can't really tell you what a Hall of Famer is,

709
00:30:37,708 --> 00:30:40,228
Speaker 1: but I know one when I see one. I thought

710
00:30:40,228 --> 00:30:41,788
Speaker 1: it was a cool quote. He was like, that's a

711
00:30:41,788 --> 00:30:43,548
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. I want this season at the end

712
00:30:43,548 --> 00:30:45,468
Speaker 1: of the year to be like, man, we're set with Jones.

713
00:30:45,628 --> 00:30:48,748
Speaker 1: We're never going to talk again about contracts this or

714
00:30:48,788 --> 00:30:50,748
Speaker 1: extension this. Like we have a guy and we're gonna

715
00:30:50,748 --> 00:30:52,028
Speaker 1: have a guy for the next ten years. I know

716
00:30:52,108 --> 00:30:54,028
Speaker 1: it when I see it. I don't care about his stats.

717
00:30:54,228 --> 00:30:55,748
Speaker 1: I don't even necessarily care at the end of the

718
00:30:55,788 --> 00:30:58,268
Speaker 1: game if they won. I just know that when he

719
00:30:58,308 --> 00:31:00,308
Speaker 1: breaks the huddle, that is the Giants quarterback.

720
00:31:00,348 --> 00:31:01,388
Speaker 2: Did you not feel that the end of the season

721
00:31:01,468 --> 00:31:02,828
Speaker 2: last years, the way he was playing as.

722
00:31:02,668 --> 00:31:04,188
Speaker 1: It came a long way? Really? Did? Really?

723
00:31:04,188 --> 00:31:04,308
Speaker 8: Did?

724
00:31:04,748 --> 00:31:05,428
Speaker 1: We just need more?

725
00:31:05,468 --> 00:31:07,308
Speaker 2: And I think he was their best player on offense

726
00:31:07,388 --> 00:31:08,548
Speaker 2: last year. It's the thing like I feel like we

727
00:31:08,628 --> 00:31:13,268
Speaker 2: just assume Saquon's the Playoffs two was electric electric.

728
00:31:13,548 --> 00:31:16,148
Speaker 6: I think is no question Sakwon Barkley is their best

729
00:31:16,188 --> 00:31:18,868
Speaker 6: player on offense. And I don't look at that as

730
00:31:18,908 --> 00:31:20,668
Speaker 6: a slight to Daniel Jones. I look at that if

731
00:31:20,708 --> 00:31:23,148
Speaker 6: you look across the league, if you have a bona

732
00:31:23,188 --> 00:31:26,068
Speaker 6: fide superstar at a skill position, if I won the

733
00:31:26,108 --> 00:31:28,628
Speaker 6: same team as Devontae Adams, it may be hard to

734
00:31:28,668 --> 00:31:30,188
Speaker 6: live up to that a Tyreek Hill.

735
00:31:30,468 --> 00:31:32,748
Speaker 7: Certain guys are justin Jefferson, where was just like all right,

736
00:31:32,788 --> 00:31:33,908
Speaker 7: like that that's the best.

737
00:31:33,948 --> 00:31:36,028
Speaker 6: He is the best at what he does and I

738
00:31:36,108 --> 00:31:37,628
Speaker 6: may not be there too. It may not be the

739
00:31:37,628 --> 00:31:40,108
Speaker 6: best player on his offense as long as Tyreek is there.

740
00:31:40,388 --> 00:31:42,108
Speaker 7: But I'm with you. I look at Daniel Jones.

741
00:31:42,148 --> 00:31:44,188
Speaker 6: I remember last year starting to show in the summer

742
00:31:44,228 --> 00:31:46,348
Speaker 6: and we're like, all right, what does Daniel Jones have

743
00:31:46,468 --> 00:31:48,948
Speaker 6: to do to earn a contract from the Giants to say, hey,

744
00:31:49,108 --> 00:31:51,788
Speaker 6: you're our franchise guy. And we threw out hey when

745
00:31:51,828 --> 00:31:55,108
Speaker 6: playoff games get to the playoffs because of him and

746
00:31:55,308 --> 00:31:57,108
Speaker 6: that game they're talking about in the playoffs, he threw

747
00:31:57,108 --> 00:31:59,228
Speaker 6: for three hundred yards, two touchdowns and ran for over

748
00:31:59,268 --> 00:32:01,508
Speaker 6: seventy yards, So it's not like he was just a

749
00:32:01,548 --> 00:32:04,388
Speaker 6: passenger and their run last year. He went out there

750
00:32:04,468 --> 00:32:06,748
Speaker 6: and he proved that, hey, I can be the guy

751
00:32:06,828 --> 00:32:07,788
Speaker 6: for this franchise.

752
00:32:08,108 --> 00:32:10,428
Speaker 7: The next step is when we look at Daniel Jones,

753
00:32:10,508 --> 00:32:11,548
Speaker 7: is it all right?

754
00:32:11,588 --> 00:32:15,268
Speaker 6: He's really good and we're set with him as our quarterback? Well,

755
00:32:15,308 --> 00:32:17,308
Speaker 6: can you win a Super Bowl with Daniel Jones? I

756
00:32:17,388 --> 00:32:19,548
Speaker 6: think that now is the question where, all right, we

757
00:32:19,588 --> 00:32:22,148
Speaker 6: know we feel like we have our guy if we

758
00:32:22,228 --> 00:32:24,908
Speaker 6: put the right pieces around him, do we feel like

759
00:32:25,068 --> 00:32:27,668
Speaker 6: this is a team and a roster with him leading

760
00:32:27,668 --> 00:32:28,188
Speaker 6: the way.

761
00:32:28,068 --> 00:32:28,908
Speaker 7: That We're like all right?

762
00:32:29,108 --> 00:32:31,148
Speaker 6: In the NFC, we got to figure out how to

763
00:32:31,148 --> 00:32:32,788
Speaker 6: beat the Eagles but hey, we're going to have an

764
00:32:32,828 --> 00:32:35,508
Speaker 6: opportunity to play in that game. And to your point,

765
00:32:35,548 --> 00:32:38,308
Speaker 6: adding a Darren Waller or jail At Hyatt, you're adding

766
00:32:38,388 --> 00:32:41,108
Speaker 6: speed and a lot of other options to this offense

767
00:32:41,148 --> 00:32:43,508
Speaker 6: that he didn't have last year. He was out there

768
00:32:43,548 --> 00:32:46,308
Speaker 6: bawling with guys that other than Saint Kwan, you're just

769
00:32:46,348 --> 00:32:47,548
Speaker 6: like h okay.

770
00:32:47,548 --> 00:32:48,948
Speaker 7: And that's no slight to those guys.

771
00:32:48,948 --> 00:32:51,188
Speaker 6: But if you're a number two receiver and now you

772
00:32:51,268 --> 00:32:52,908
Speaker 6: have a number one out there, a guy that they're

773
00:32:52,948 --> 00:32:55,548
Speaker 6: focusing on, it helps your game flourish as well. So

774
00:32:55,828 --> 00:32:57,868
Speaker 6: to your point, I think for Daniel Jones is going

775
00:32:57,908 --> 00:33:00,388
Speaker 6: out there this year improving that I'm a guy that

776
00:33:00,428 --> 00:33:01,468
Speaker 6: can win a Super Bowl.

777
00:33:01,668 --> 00:33:05,028
Speaker 7: And joint practices are different. The competition level rises up.

778
00:33:05,188 --> 00:33:08,428
Speaker 6: You're hitting another guy in an opposite jersey, and to hear,

779
00:33:08,468 --> 00:33:11,308
Speaker 6: he struggled yesterday. Now we're having this conversation today, But

780
00:33:11,348 --> 00:33:13,468
Speaker 6: I think Daniel Jones is gonna be okay. Is he

781
00:33:13,548 --> 00:33:15,468
Speaker 6: a quarterback that can win a Super Bowl? I'm not

782
00:33:15,668 --> 00:33:17,668
Speaker 6: ready to say, oh yeah, I'm putting that stamp on

783
00:33:17,708 --> 00:33:20,348
Speaker 6: that Daniel Jones is leading him to a championship game.

784
00:33:20,388 --> 00:33:21,148
Speaker 7: I don't know about that.

785
00:33:21,308 --> 00:33:23,868
Speaker 3: I focus on the word doubters in the first place,

786
00:33:24,148 --> 00:33:26,988
Speaker 3: and just ask the doubters, if you are a Giants

787
00:33:26,988 --> 00:33:29,068
Speaker 3: fan and you're still doubting him, to just broaden your

788
00:33:29,108 --> 00:33:31,348
Speaker 3: scope a little bit and maybe put it into comparison

789
00:33:31,348 --> 00:33:33,588
Speaker 3: as to what other teams might be dealing with at

790
00:33:33,588 --> 00:33:36,228
Speaker 3: the quarterback position, because what you have going on in

791
00:33:36,308 --> 00:33:38,828
Speaker 3: terms of growth, I think is pretty admirable at this

792
00:33:38,908 --> 00:33:41,388
Speaker 3: point compared to what Daniel Jones did is first three

793
00:33:41,468 --> 00:33:42,468
Speaker 3: compared to last season.

794
00:33:42,988 --> 00:33:43,668
Speaker 7: You know, you.

795
00:33:43,668 --> 00:33:45,868
Speaker 3: Know it when you see it, but you also know

796
00:33:45,948 --> 00:33:47,748
Speaker 3: it when you don't have it. And all they have

797
00:33:47,828 --> 00:33:49,108
Speaker 3: to do is look down the street of what the

798
00:33:49,188 --> 00:33:50,948
Speaker 3: Jets just went through over the last couple of years.

799
00:33:51,268 --> 00:33:53,548
Speaker 3: And the response that we saw in Hard Knocks last

800
00:33:53,588 --> 00:33:54,908
Speaker 3: night from the Jets having a.

801
00:33:54,868 --> 00:33:56,148
Speaker 1: Guy under center.

802
00:33:56,228 --> 00:33:58,868
Speaker 3: I mean, it was just total admiration for an hour

803
00:33:58,948 --> 00:34:01,748
Speaker 3: as to the things that Aaron Rodgers can do. Giants fans,

804
00:34:01,788 --> 00:34:05,188
Speaker 3: you have a quarterback, be comfortable and happy with you your quarterback.

805
00:34:05,268 --> 00:34:07,268
Speaker 3: Bro'm your scope outside the fact that I know within

806
00:34:07,308 --> 00:34:08,988
Speaker 3: your division it's hard because you have a team that

807
00:34:09,028 --> 00:34:11,668
Speaker 3: reached the Super Bowl. But look at the cascade in

808
00:34:11,708 --> 00:34:14,148
Speaker 3: the NFC and be pleased with what you have and

809
00:34:14,268 --> 00:34:16,188
Speaker 3: just work with it and allow for growth.

810
00:34:16,188 --> 00:34:18,868
Speaker 2: Would you not argue that Jalen Hurts wasn't what he

811
00:34:18,948 --> 00:34:21,388
Speaker 2: was last year until he got AJ Brown, Right, that's

812
00:34:21,388 --> 00:34:23,948
Speaker 2: good part of it. So I've still hung up on

813
00:34:23,988 --> 00:34:25,948
Speaker 2: the like he's not the best play because I'm looking

814
00:34:25,948 --> 00:34:28,668
Speaker 2: at j Jalen Hurts was an ensemble piece and then

815
00:34:28,708 --> 00:34:30,748
Speaker 2: he elevated his game with these great stars, and I

816
00:34:30,788 --> 00:34:34,308
Speaker 2: don't think the Giants had many stars. So now you're

817
00:34:34,388 --> 00:34:37,108
Speaker 2: I'm not saying Waller's a star. I know, I'm I'm

818
00:34:37,628 --> 00:34:38,948
Speaker 2: you never know though it could be a puzzle.

819
00:34:38,948 --> 00:34:39,468
Speaker 1: Maybe it is.

820
00:34:39,508 --> 00:34:41,788
Speaker 2: And then I'm not saying Paris Campbell's a true number one,

821
00:34:41,908 --> 00:34:43,668
Speaker 2: or Sterling Shepherd is going to be like he was,

822
00:34:43,788 --> 00:34:45,588
Speaker 2: or Wandale Robinson, you can name all these guys.

823
00:34:45,668 --> 00:34:47,028
Speaker 7: He still doesn't have a J.

824
00:34:47,148 --> 00:34:49,108
Speaker 2: Brown, still doesn't have that AJ Brown, so he has

825
00:34:49,148 --> 00:34:50,588
Speaker 2: to take more on him. And I don't think the

826
00:34:50,708 --> 00:34:54,588
Speaker 2: running back position. Saquon is an excellent running back, but

827
00:34:54,588 --> 00:34:56,308
Speaker 2: I don't think when you have that AJ Brown deep

828
00:34:56,308 --> 00:34:58,988
Speaker 2: thart of the Tyreek Hill deep threat, Saquan's necessarily the

829
00:34:59,028 --> 00:35:01,108
Speaker 2: same way that defensive coordinators stay up at night saying,

830
00:35:01,108 --> 00:35:02,548
Speaker 2: how do we stop Saku when he gets in the open?

831
00:35:02,588 --> 00:35:04,388
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? So this is gonna all

832
00:35:04,508 --> 00:35:05,948
Speaker 2: on Daniel Jones, and if he does it again, that's

833
00:35:05,948 --> 00:35:07,508
Speaker 2: two years in a row. I feel like that's he's

834
00:35:07,508 --> 00:35:07,788
Speaker 2: done it.

835
00:35:07,868 --> 00:35:09,948
Speaker 1: I think something adjacent had on too, is very very simple.

836
00:35:09,948 --> 00:35:11,588
Speaker 1: If you're talking about this season, you have to do

837
00:35:11,628 --> 00:35:14,428
Speaker 1: something abou Philadelphia, like you can't be the Giants quarterback

838
00:35:14,468 --> 00:35:16,908
Speaker 1: and get your clock cleaned by the Eagles once a

839
00:35:16,948 --> 00:35:19,228
Speaker 1: year or twice a year. Three times in one year.

840
00:35:19,348 --> 00:35:21,028
Speaker 1: Those are huge games for him, and there at the

841
00:35:21,108 --> 00:35:22,828
Speaker 1: end of the season, you'll have a whole another year

842
00:35:22,868 --> 00:35:25,588
Speaker 1: with Waller and all these guys. I think in one sentence,

843
00:35:25,628 --> 00:35:27,948
Speaker 1: it beat the Eagles, and if you don't beat the

844
00:35:27,948 --> 00:35:29,668
Speaker 1: Eagles this year and you just you're kind of like

845
00:35:29,708 --> 00:35:30,388
Speaker 1: second tier guy.

846
00:35:30,788 --> 00:35:32,548
Speaker 6: Son's going to be to your point that a playoff

847
00:35:32,548 --> 00:35:34,228
Speaker 6: game where he throws for three hundred yards a very

848
00:35:34,308 --> 00:35:35,948
Speaker 6: next seven. I don't even think you threw it for

849
00:35:35,948 --> 00:35:37,588
Speaker 6: two hundrednock right. They were down twenty eight.

850
00:35:37,508 --> 00:35:38,148
Speaker 2: Nothing in that game.

851
00:35:38,188 --> 00:35:39,308
Speaker 1: It was not again the.

852
00:35:39,268 --> 00:35:42,068
Speaker 2: Double short thing of this where you're talking about, well,

853
00:35:42,108 --> 00:35:44,308
Speaker 2: Saquon didn't get the money, but Daniel Jones. Did I

854
00:35:44,308 --> 00:35:47,028
Speaker 2: think that's going to be the conversation, especially if Daniel

855
00:35:47,108 --> 00:35:49,948
Speaker 2: Jones falls on his face and it's like, well, Squon's

856
00:35:49,988 --> 00:35:52,788
Speaker 2: Brilliant's brilliant, yah know. But right now they have them

857
00:35:52,828 --> 00:35:54,668
Speaker 2: both on the roster, it will seems seemingly happy.

858
00:35:55,228 --> 00:35:58,828
Speaker 3: Giants Eagles week sixteen, and then again week eighteen. It's

859
00:35:58,868 --> 00:36:03,788
Speaker 3: a long wait, Wild coming up. We all know the

860
00:36:03,828 --> 00:36:08,148
Speaker 3: importance of a strong and healthy relationship between coach and quarterback.

861
00:36:08,548 --> 00:36:11,108
Speaker 2: Is that happening endeavors
