1
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: Two superstar quarterbacks, one staying, one going. A big day

2
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: for the NFL. The new league gear hasn't even begun,

3
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: the agency has not begun at all, but the franchise

4
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: tag deadline came and went with some fireworks. Good morning

5
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,959
Speaker 1: football is right here in New York City, Wednesday, March nine.

6
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm kay Adams, what up? Kyle Brand, Peter Striker, two

7
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: times Super Bowl champion, Lashawn McCoy here as well. Lots

8
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: to get to with these quarterbacks, these bags of money

9
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: being tossed around, and it's time for lead block, lead block.

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: Let's do it yesterday A big, one, massive news stay

11
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: around the NFL. A blockbister trade sends Russell Wilson to

12
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: the Broncos. Aaron Rodgers returned, says put in Green Bay

13
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: after taking home the MVP award, and it's the honors

14
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. Now for all the details

15
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 1: on these two epics stories, we turn to our guy,

16
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: Ian Rapaport. You know, our detailing was the day that

17
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: all the quarterback dominoes began to fall into place, start

18
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: with the passive, massive trade of former Seahawks quarterback Russell

19
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: Wilson to the Denver Broncos. Finally, Russell Wilson has a

20
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: new home just for the small price of two first

21
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: round picks, two second round picks, no offense, Drew Lock

22
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: and more. Obviously a huge deal for the Seattle Seahawks,

23
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: who lose Russell Wilson now need a quarterback, but they

24
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: move on from their franchise started with plenty of plenty

25
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: of AMMO to go get one. Then for the Denver Broncos,

26
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: for the first time since Peyton Manning, they have a

27
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: legitimate starting quarterbacker. Was expensive, but Russell Wilson now lands

28
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: in the only place that he was willing to go, Denver. Meanwhile,

29
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: the green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers have a resolution

30
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: as well sourced to say that Rogers is fifty million

31
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: dollars per year on a multi year deal believed to

32
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: be a four year deal. So now the green Bay package.

33
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: After months and months of trying to get on the

34
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 1: same page with Aaron Rodgers, working in that relationship, doing

35
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: everything they can to make him accept them, they got

36
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: a resolution to Aaron Rodgers is not going anywhere with

37
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: green Bay and Rogers committed together for years to come

38
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: appreciate you and we'll talk about Aaron Rodgers and that

39
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 1: decision in a bit, but it is all about this

40
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: right now, the blockbuster moves sending Russell Wilson to those Broncos.

41
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: This is big time. I was surprised at first. I

42
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: thought it was so quiet on the Russell Wilson front.

43
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: This wasn't going to happen this year. It was setting

44
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: the table for potentially next season. And exhibit here we go,

45
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: So reactions around the table, guys when you heard Russ

46
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: was heading to Denver and of course please tweet us

47
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: at GMFP. I was surprised too, and I think that's

48
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: a credit to both teams. Yeah, right, like this this

49
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: has been well. Washington made an offer and Carroll came

50
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: out very boldly and said, we're not trading Russell Wilson.

51
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: We're happy every and then he's traded. This is a

52
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: credit to the Bronco side of this thing too, because

53
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: it's really fourteen months in the making. When George Peyton

54
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: got the job last year, it was like quarterback, quarterback, quarterback, quarterback.

55
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: I remember they resisted, they didn't draft one in the

56
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: top ten. They were we're gonna take Patrick's for ten

57
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: over mac Jones and over justin fields. We're gonna hang

58
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: tight and wait until the right quarterback comes about. Now

59
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: I've spoken on both sides over the last twenty four hours.

60
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: I didn't know this, but at the Senior Bowl, which

61
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: is a super Bowl by George Peyton and John Schneider

62
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,839
Speaker 1: got ininity gritty of this thing and started building this out.

63
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: That was the Senior Bowl that was in mid February.

64
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: They started working on this. Then at the Combine the

65
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: two of them really started hammering out the deals. And

66
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: then yesterday, once the Rogers stuff happened, I don't think

67
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: it was we didn't get Rogers. In fact, I know

68
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: that they really weren't dealing with Green Bay. There was

69
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: this thought that maybe Rogers would demand to go to

70
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: Denver and then they could talk it all out. But

71
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: these two sides were proactively talking the entire time in

72
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: silence publicly, which kind of love. In twenty twenty two

73
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: when everything is rumor, mill were aware of it. I'll

74
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: also say this, yesterday was the ten year anniversary of

75
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning's visit to the Broncos facility, and they have

76
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: not had a quarterback. Denver is a Broncos town. Billboard's

77
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: already going up. They're already about cooking, right about Russell

78
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: and Comma cook. And then the Broncos, even without a quarterback,

79
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: even without their ownership situation figured out, even without not

80
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: going to the playoffs last five years, they put their

81
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: season tickets on sale last week with nothing really to

82
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: stand on with a new coat. All the ninety seven

83
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: percent of tickets sold out right away. Like the Change,

84
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: this is a football town, it is a football franchise.

85
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: And Russell Wilson is going to Denver. And credit to

86
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: George Peyton, their general manager of patients at the Switch,

87
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: you gotta appreciate it. And they went all in. And

88
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: then today's day and age. You do as we've learned.

89
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: What you do, what you do when you need a quarterback,

90
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: that's what you do. And I was so surprised, and

91
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: I'll see the news. I was actually very very happy though.

92
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: I think Russell Wilson is an excellent quarterbacks the Seahawks

93
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: probably best chos score ever. And then he goes to

94
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: the Broncos, right, a team that he wanted to go to.

95
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: They can win. They can win now the defense is loaded.

96
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: Like you said last year, they went certain they got

97
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: him early they didn't get a quarterback, and it is

98
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: all fell into place. And then I'll just look at

99
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: the reaction of the guys like Super Bowl. You look

100
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: at the last couple of years, Tom Brady went to

101
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: the table Bay Buccaneers. Thanks Tom for my ring. Right,

102
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: they win. Thank And one thing my football always repeats itself, right,

103
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: it's kye Kat League. He gets a championship. Then we

104
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: moved forward to the Rims. Somehow they get golf out

105
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: of there Stafford and he goes to the Rims. Now

106
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson goes to the Broncos. I'm saying the same thing. Championship.

107
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: When when a team does that, they go all the

108
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 1: way in. All the chips are on the table. Jared Judy,

109
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: Now people can see how good he really is. Alabama,

110
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: we all loved him. Now you can see how good

111
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: he really is. Courtland something I think other big time

112
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: right receiver, big body was catching them. Now they have

113
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: a team. What a dominant running game. We all know

114
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: where Russian Wilson does. When a running game, pretty good division.

115
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: They're a championship there, they're winning the thing. Sol group

116
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: running game, a great quarterback and a great defense. Im

117
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: sol I mean Von Miller's posting those Instagram Kyle got

118
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: everybody the fire stoked. And then they get Russ Shady

119
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: McCoy on record March ninth. They're going to do it

120
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: this year. They're winning the super Bowl and I love it.

121
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: This is so fun. Yesterday was so fun. You don't

122
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: get days. You get the once in a generation superstar

123
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: quarterback is traded, and you have an amazing feeling as

124
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: a fan and as a spectator that when you see

125
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: the tweet, you're like, wait, what what And then you

126
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: confront you laying hold on, aren't they're two l's in pallacero.

127
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get hooked. No, there's one, and it's

128
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: really true. I was not surprised, not surprised. I think

129
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: Russ has been unhappy for a long time, and I

130
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: think Denver knows the power of a star quarterback. I

131
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: think it was a perfect marriage in that sense. And

132
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: I said, they said let's do it. So you see it,

133
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: you're thinking, you're like, oh my god, Russell Wilson's really

134
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: going And then I already asked, was asked yesterday, is

135
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: this the most talented quarterback division? In three is Russell

136
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: Wilson the third best quarterback in this division? Is he's

137
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: a second? Where do you rank him? If you had

138
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: to started team this fall with one of those quarterbacks,

139
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: who would you take today? We should do it, and

140
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, Russ. I look up there. I

141
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,239
Speaker 1: don't see any of these rebuilding rams teams you've gotten

142
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: fat off of. I don't see number one overall picked

143
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: Cardinals teams. I don't see any of that. This big

144
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: time now. This is uh listen, one of those quarterbacks right,

145
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: there's probably gonna be seven and ten next year, right,

146
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: And they're that good and that talented. So you wanted it,

147
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: you remember, he did want it. He has a no trade,

148
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: He's like, I want to go to Denver. I respect it,

149
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: but ma'am, that thing is loaded with talent, and it's

150
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: really excited. You're saying it's once in a generation. Also,

151
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: is very weird that we're all on board. I don't

152
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: nobody at this team. We didn't talk about it to

153
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: each other, maybe through email last night, but everyone's excited,

154
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: at least at this breakfast table. And yes, Seahawks fans

155
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: probably feeling a little something in their heart, but at

156
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: least the Seahawks headed in them to just do a

157
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: band aid. It was quiet. I give them credit. I

158
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: give Russell Wilson's camp credit. It's why everyone's surprised. Last year.

159
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: We thought there was so much talk about this that

160
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: if he was disgruntled again thinking about leaving, we'd hear

161
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: from Russell, we'd hear from miss Agent, we'd see those

162
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: teams being leaked, all of that. Nothing. It was a

163
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: band aid rip. Russell was not happy there. He makes

164
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: a movie. You already credited the Bronchos side of things.

165
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: I just loved how it was done. I also think

166
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: that the Bronchos made it happen so quickly, and they

167
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: got a relative bargain in the scheme of things. I

168
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: thought right away to what does it take. You always

169
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: talk about draft picks, trade commodities, all of that, and

170
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: let's take a look at what they did and compare

171
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: it to a team like the Niners, and what the

172
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: Niners gave up. So only having to give up two

173
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: first round picks and a few other assets for a

174
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion, legitimate superstar, thirty three year old quarterback

175
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: was nine Pro bowls under his belt. Is incredible comparing

176
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: to the Niners who trade for the number three pick

177
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: alone last year, giving up three first rounders and the

178
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: third to get their pick of unproven commodities in Lancefields

179
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: or mac Jones. They of course, when I had and

180
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: they picked trade Lanceo shrikes. I liked how it was handled.

181
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: I liked that the Seahawks right when the Aaron Rodgers

182
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: news happened, they dropped it. It showed me that they

183
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: had multiple plans in place and they were ready to

184
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: go where they executed it perfectly. Absolutely, And you know,

185
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 1: you got to be aggressive on the Seahawks side, which

186
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: I am with you on this one. I also appreciate

187
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: saying okay, like it's over, and then they release Bobby

188
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: Wagner later and that is huge and now he can

189
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: do this before free agency where he can actually the

190
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: roster's not already filled in thirty two plays like that's

191
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: how you treat a veteran. You say, okay, it's done,

192
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: but we're gonna give the opportunity to sign somewhereld. I

193
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: think both sides are very happy this morning. One of

194
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: the things you mentioned, Peter, A lot of people are

195
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: saying this is that Russ was planned b and that

196
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: Rodgers used the Broncos for leverage, leverage, and then he

197
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: ditched them, and now we're going to Russ You're the

198
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: same way. I can only go with what my sources

199
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: are telling me, and that this has been weak in

200
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: the motion. And Russell was the guy. And the thing

201
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: with Rogers was it's not that they wouldn't have taken Rodgers.

202
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Might have been a really interesting decision if they had

203
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: to choose Rodgers or Wilson, but Rogers. The whole plan

204
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: was like, we're not calling the Packers like they'll call us.

205
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: You don't try to meddle with Rogers. That's like a

206
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: whole They're satellite Rogers, Russell Wilson. It's like, all right,

207
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: this is a GM you deal with Wilson's a reasonable thing.

208
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: The Rogers deal he was going to decide, and then

209
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: you have to react and we'll get to Rogers, and

210
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: we'll get to Bobby Wagner. Of course, it talks about

211
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: him a lot going into his final game, like everyone's

212
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: talking Russell Bobby Wagner might be playing his final game.

213
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: Then he gets hurt, of course, and he gets to

214
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: face for agency and hopefully get paid. Is one of

215
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: my favorite players in the league. James Palmer is joining

216
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: us now, probably no one happier than you because selfishly

217
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: it's it's good for the Palmer family business. What do

218
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: you got? I want to start with what Peter had

219
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: to say, because if you remember Kay on the world

220
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: famous Jimmy Palm Tree's segment last week, when I was

221
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: sitting in Peter's chair, I told you the bromp has

222
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: felt unbelievably comfortable with the options that they had at

223
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback spot. It's mainly because, as Peter's saying, they

224
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: were both kind of plan A. They were looking at

225
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and knew there was a chance there. They

226
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: were looking at Russell Wilson, knew there was a chance there.

227
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: The talks were going on. That's why they had that

228
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: comfort level because they'd had options and now they land

229
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and guys yesterday in Denver. It was about

230
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: a two hour and eighteen minute roller coaster ride on

231
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: sports talk radio when they find out Aaron Rodgers going

232
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 1: back to three day and then two hours and eighteen

233
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: minutes later they find out that Russell Wilson is coming

234
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: to Denver. I talk to people throughout the day in

235
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: the building. The vibe was just incredible. I was told

236
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: people were sprinting up and down the hall base at

237
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: Dove Valley, at the team facility. I was told, and

238
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: this is all because of what they have been through.

239
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: Let's go to September seventeenth, two thousand and fifteen. That

240
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: is the last time the Denver Broncos beat the Kansas

241
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, and it was with Peyton Manning. They have

242
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: had ten different quarterbacks. I have interviewed pretty much all

243
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: of them. And the last part of this is they

244
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: knew how good Aaron Rodgers was. They knew that that

245
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: was probably a shorter shelf life of a new quarterback.

246
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: With Russell Wilson being thirty three and going on Kimmel

247
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: two weeks ago and saying I still went to places

248
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: along forty five. They feel like this fixes the quarterback position,

249
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: maybe for a longer period of time, and that is

250
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: making people feel very, very good here in Denver. It's

251
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: been a long time coming for Aaron Rodgers. Yesterday we

252
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: finally had a decision. I'm very excited about it. As over,

253
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: we can look forward to lots of things once we

254
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: figure out Davonta Adams in that situation, as apported by

255
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: our very own Ian Rapp a board Rogers and the Packers,

256
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: who agreed to terms on a four year deal, making

257
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: him reportedly the highest paid player in Jane Felt history.

258
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: Shortly after that news was announced, the Packers lockdown Davonte

259
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: Adams with a tag of course, his number and target

260
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: his best friend. They love each other. Adam was one

261
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: of many big names to receive the franchise tag before

262
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: yesterday's four PM franchise and transition tag deadline. So after

263
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: all the buzz about Rogers over the past, it says

264
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: a few months, many months, I actually say a few.

265
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what that word means, just as Smith, No,

266
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm talking about this forever. I couldn't be happier. I

267
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: love Aaron Rodgers. I want him there in Green Bay

268
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: and there who remains owning my bears for years to come.

269
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: Your thoughts. Everything with him is asymmetric call and mercurial

270
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: and zigging to zag. Ultimately, he made just the simplest,

271
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: most basic, and probably smartest decision. He said, I'm gonna

272
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: make the most money and playing the easiest division and

273
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: help full continent. I'm just gonna stay right here Rogers

274
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: after all this, like the he just said, all right

275
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: and make a ton I'm gonna be with my friends.

276
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna win between twelve and fourteen games every single

277
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: year and maybe we'll finally cash one in. I'm gonna

278
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: be the greatest packer to ever live. I'm gonna ring

279
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: erase all that. I'm just gonna stay here. I think

280
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: it's cool. I think it's great, and he's gonna be

281
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: a packer for life. I think my takeaway is like, now, dude,

282
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: you have to win a super Bowl. You have to

283
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why. He plays out this contract.

284
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: Let's say he goes all the way, and he goes

285
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: all the way into his forties and then he retires.

286
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: That means the best quarterback to ever live went fifteen

287
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: straight seasons without winning another super Bowl. And you got

288
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: all the money, and you have all the respect on

289
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: the field, and you have all your friends. He has everything.

290
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: But like God, you gotta get one of these things,

291
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: especially now like Brady's gone, NFC cupboards, Bear Russell's that

292
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: was your nemesis for years. And I remember, like it's

293
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: not that he can't win the super Bowl. He hasn't

294
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: gotten a can't win the title game, like we got

295
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: to do it now because you have everything else and

296
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: you have love in your heart and money in the

297
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 1: bank and everything, like he needs to get to a

298
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: super Bowl. You cannot. You cannot go fifteen straight years

299
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: and I'm the best. You gotta get there, man, And

300
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: I'm glad that that that walking off the field in

301
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: it a visional round and am not great performance in Sanmatosco.

302
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: Was not his last game as a Packer. We're gonna

303
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: get a lot more. I think the pressure was always there.

304
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: I think it's even bigger now. You can't run this

305
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: race and not get another one. You can't throughout the combine.

306
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: I was trying to read the tea leaves a little bit,

307
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: not so much about what people are saying there, because

308
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: everyone has a thought and opinion, and you don't know

309
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: who to trust as far as team side. The only

310
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: person I really knew was Rogers. But he took a

311
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: twelve day cleanse of all communication. That's the big thing.

312
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: Everyone told me. That was so interesting. And then took

313
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: three more weeks and then went to the Baktr wedding

314
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: with all the Packers guys. They're all there, including coach

315
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: Leafloora and they're jumping around having a good time, and

316
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, Tuesday came out. I was like, I'm just

317
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: not happy with my team. Well then it wasn't meant

318
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: to be. So I thought the moment to him, what

319
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: was going this way? And there's a lot of people

320
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: saying the longer this thing goes on, the more evidence

321
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: it is that he's on his way out. I thought

322
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: just the opposite, and I thought of guys like Brian

323
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: baum Gartner who is on our show, like Nick Val

324
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: from The Bachelor, like Hackers fans. There's gonna be drama

325
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: with Rogers. There will be. There was, and I don't

326
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: say it's on his fault, but there's always gonna be

327
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: something that's like, hey, he's a big, famous guy and

328
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: people like to pick him apart, but to know that

329
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: he's your quarterback at least for the indefinite future is

330
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: a great burden off their shoulders. So I'm happy for Rogers.

331
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm happy for the Packers, and I'm happy for Matt

332
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: Laflour who doesn't have to go through this abyss of

333
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: like hey, Jordan Love and I don't know what else

334
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: for the future he gets Rodgers. Now is Rogers Rogers

335
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: about Nathaniel Hackett and Luke Getsy his OC and his

336
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: quarterback coach, Tom Clements, and he's got Tom cle We'll

337
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: see and if Adam's happy, okay, I don't know, like

338
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: there's things that are gonna have to be settled here.

339
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: But at the very last season we were in that intervie,

340
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: and I don't think we're gonna be talking about him

341
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: being unhappy because when you signed this deal, I think

342
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: the agreement is all right and those talks go off

343
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: the tables right now. I'm sure when he's on this

344
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: big contract, I'm sure you talked to Adams. You know,

345
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: I'll probably signed tomorrow, and I'm sure they'll get a

346
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: deal done for him. I learned what in the league,

347
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: when they want players, they'll find ways to sign their players.

348
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: I think you keep this the best dueling football, these

349
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: guys together, and I think everybody in Green Bays happy

350
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: you had Brett Farve. Now you have Aaron Rodgers. You know,

351
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: like you got there, but it's time. Everyone loves to

352
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: talk about how good Aaron Rodgers is, and I think

353
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: he's probably the best in the league. But when you

354
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: talk about the greatest. When you want to put his

355
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: name mentioned with guys like Tom Brady, you can't do

356
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: it unless you go get this championship, you know as

357
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: you as you lost too in the playoffs against the

358
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Right after that lost, like okay, you

359
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: walked off said you know what you're gonna do. You

360
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: talked about there was so many free agents the team

361
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: had in etc. Et cetera. You didn't know. Now we

362
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: know what's going on. Now we know you're gonna stay clarity.

363
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? Because I'm tired of saying

364
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: the best quarterback you know, win these MVPs win all

365
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: these games, dominate the division year in and year out.

366
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: Now it's totally with you on them. When I started

367
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: hearing the things about him in the front office repairing

368
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: their relationship, I was like, this is going this way.

369
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: This is going this way, and it's incredible and I hope,

370
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: you know, obviously gives me some confidence that they get

371
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: the Devanta Adams deal done. The fact that this was announced,

372
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: I do find it curious, and we talked about this

373
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: right before the three of us before the show happened.

374
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to see how it plays out. With this contract.

375
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: Everyone came out so hard on new deal fifty million

376
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: a year. Aaron Rodgers, who hasn't tweeted mister twelve fa

377
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: cleans since January seventh, tweeted immediately, really immediately, was like, Hey,

378
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: everyone just wanted to clear some things up. Yes, I

379
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: will be playing with the Packers next year. However, reports

380
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: about me signing a contract are inaccurate, as are the

381
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: supposed terms of the contract I quote signed. I am

382
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: very excited to be back year eighteen. Maybe he's holding

383
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: off of it to allow us Davanta negotiations to get

384
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: finished up, to allow a little bit more flexibility. I'm

385
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: sure that's what it is. I think perception is important

386
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: to him, as it should be as a quarterback who

387
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: takes a big deal in returns to Green Bay. But

388
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: it gave me, actually makes me confident that they do

389
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: get something. John Adams has tremendous leverage. You're saying you

390
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: have to win a ring. You're not doing it without Adams.

391
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: We'll see defense what we know. Russell Wilson's in Denver,

392
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rode state details on both next football. Hey, everybody

393
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: big roots in the NFL will wake up with us

394
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football. Thanks for choosing us on this

395
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: March ninth. My name is Kay Adams March ninth, whoa

396
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: free agency, new league year upon us, Leshaw McCoy's and

397
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: the Building Smiley as always, Peter Schrager is here too,

398
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt in the building. Let's do a guy's time

399
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: for Leave Black Black. We know yesterday's you sent shock

400
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: waves around the NFL. Who do you guys think is

401
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: impacted most by the Russell Wilson and the Aaron Rodgers

402
00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: moves that rocked our worlds yesterday? Leshawn or the different

403
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: Broncos their offensive weapons. Right, I'm gonna go with Rustill

404
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: Wilson got that that news and they broke out. Jerry Judy,

405
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: he's a player that he loved it. I see he

406
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: tweeted he was upset when Aaron got signed. Yeah, but

407
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,239
Speaker 1: then soon after he was so excited that we got

408
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and now we get to see how good

409
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: he really is. I think this kid is so good.

410
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: When I watched him in college, he had so much

411
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: game to us to his tape, like his tape was

412
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: going up and down. He was going up the field,

413
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: across the field and now you get to see how

414
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: good he really is. Courtlan Sutton. I think the other

415
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: guy thats a big play receiver. Um, he gets a

416
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: lot of fifty fifty balls, but he can make plays.

417
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: And now you have a quarterback that get you the ball.

418
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: That makes a big difference. Tim Patrick another guy that

419
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: people forget about. You like these dudes. Yeah, I watched

420
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: when he played against the Cowboys. He was balling. Now

421
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: you get him a real quarterback and then the running game,

422
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: the angry talk about it Williams. We get him in there.

423
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: He's a great player. North Carolina running back runs with attitude,

424
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: run anger. I think you get him in there, get

425
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: him with a quarterback. So now you're going to the run,

426
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: stretched play actions. The Deacons they can goal for that

427
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: right and they'll get hit over top. Now they're thinking

428
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: about that top for fifty yards. Now I have the

429
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: open running lanes. You need some opportunities to run the ball.

430
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: Open lanes, get a lot of yards, and hopefully they

431
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: bring back the veteran UM Melvin Gorton, a big fan

432
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: of his his game. Get them two together, they can

433
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: make some noise. So I think that really impacted the

434
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: offensive weapons we were talking earlier about you know that

435
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: you run the list of what the Broncos gave up

436
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: to get Russell Wilson, and it's kind of who cares

437
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: just give up everything? But then the stuff that they kept,

438
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: like there's some nice pieces that are I don't think,

439
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: like the cupboard is Bear and they just emptied everything,

440
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: Like there are playmakers there. They're gonna be cooking. But

441
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Packers cooking cooking. Yeah, the Packers,

442
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: And I just want to say, like, good morning football

443
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: to the people of Egan, Minnesota, and they're Alan Park,

444
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: Michigan and Lake Forest, Illinois. Where the guy's back. The Bears,

445
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: the Vikings and the Lions. He was gone, he was dead.

446
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: And I saw a tweet yesterday that's like, oh, you know,

447
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: Rogers saw his shadow. Four more years of Aaron Rodgers

448
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: in the NFC and North who was the owner of

449
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 1: the Bears. It's personal ownerships certainly on the Vikings. This

450
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: was over. It was ending, and every just try everyone,

451
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: he's gone. He's finally gone. Here's here's the raw facts.

452
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: If Aaron Rodgers plays out this entire career of the

453
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: next four years, then the Vikings, Packers and Bears will

454
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: have played against thirty four straight years of Hall of

455
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: Fame quarterback play from the Packers. Thirty four. As a

456
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: basis of comparison the Niners with Montana and Young they

457
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: put together fifteen season, you think they'd be the same.

458
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: That's it's it's double and then plus some. So there

459
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: are people who are having families who graduated from college

460
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: ten years ago who have no memory whatsoever still of

461
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: the Packers not having a Hall of Fame quarterback. And

462
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: this was the end. It was over. It was the

463
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: last dance. Enjoy it. He screwed you one more time.

464
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: This is the last time he's ever gonna be in

465
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: Soldier Field. He was wearing the green home uniforms because

466
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: he was at home for that game. It's back back

467
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: year for four about the last day, think about nothing, Peter,

468
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: what all that stuff? Like, yeah, you're back, Like what

469
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: do we do it? It's as if like the Atlanta

470
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: Hawks and Cleveland Calves back in the Night's back. Scottie

471
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: and Mica are back again. Yeah, get out of here.

472
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: Tim Floyd is coaching him. No. I just think those

473
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: other teams in the NFC North, they had their Andy

474
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: du Fray and I crawled through five miles and you

475
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: know what, and I'm free. No, no, no, you're back

476
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: in the cell. You're back in the hole. The NFC

477
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: has impacted most you know what I'm gonna miss I'm

478
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: impacted too, and so were you because those epic Seahawks

479
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: Puckers games over the years have been so good, and

480
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: I think we just need to just we have a

481
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: minute for those. We have a moment, just a couple

482
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: look at these the uncorking's majority of it, all that

483
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: that missed up the potential of Rogers versus Russ and

484
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: high stakes games. What a rivalry. These games were always

485
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: epic through the years. Rogers is five and four versus

486
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: Wilson and his career including two playoff games failed. Mary, Guys,

487
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: we know all this. Russ delt Rogers maybe the most

488
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: crushing loss of his career. I'm talking twenty fourteen Nfccampionship game.

489
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,239
Speaker 1: We know how this went for then, and Roger has

490
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: not been able to get back. So outside of this

491
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: being over, which kind of hit me hard yesterday, just

492
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: because I really have enjoyed these games, I really how

493
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: those of your epic games always I think that you

494
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: know the NFC shrikes, talk to me about this before

495
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: you get going on on your level and layer to

496
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: this a thorn in your sign removed for Rogers, Rodgers

497
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: is the most impacted because he has the easiest little

498
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: path right to the super Bowl where he belongs. As

499
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: long as we get this Adam Steel taken care of.

500
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: Brady's gone, the NFC go, no breeze, no breeze. What

501
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: about ros Russ in Arizona next year? Could be that's

502
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: the one I would I would love to see. It

503
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: would be they finally meet and they meet in the

504
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: soup man. For all the marbles you got right in

505
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: his division, it was Stafford forever. He's gone. Now he's

506
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: he played him once every so often, and the now

507
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: Russell's who's the legitimate contender. It's the Rams, the Rams

508
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: of Stafford or that's the NFC are the teams unless

509
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: something else insane happens anybody which could it could? I

510
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: think for the last twelve months, we haven't talked much

511
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: about DeShawn Watson because he's been this object over here

512
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: where he's figuring out his legal stuff. All that's coming

513
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: to a head, and that's coming to a head on Friday,

514
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: where a grand jury will see his case and we

515
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: will know criminal charges are going to be levied against him.

516
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: In that case, with the twenty two accusations of sexual misconduct,

517
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: eight women who filed criminal complaints were subpoena to appear

518
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: before a grand journey. And at the same time, that

519
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: same day, on Friday, while that's all going down, Watson

520
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: will be disposed for civil lawsuits that were filed against

521
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: him last spring with a total of twenty two women,

522
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: all represented by the same lawyer, Tony Buzzby. So that's

523
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: all on Friday. I say all this because for twelve

524
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: months it's been Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers. Who's going

525
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: to get Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers In the matter

526
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: of two hours, those pieces were set in place. The

527
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: third domino to fall is what happens to DeShawn Watson's career.

528
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: And I look at teams around the league and say, okay,

529
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: if there are no criminal charges on Friday, which one

530
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 1: of these teams is going to take on the fact

531
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: that he might be suspended by the league for a

532
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: year still, it might be a public relations nightmare, It

533
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: might be something you can't sit with in de Saber

534
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: and yet he is such a talented quarterback. Did the

535
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks trade Russell Wilson to maybe part lay that

536
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: into Deshaun Watson? Are the Philadelphia Eagles sitting on three

537
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: first round picks and waiting on this to go get

538
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: to Shawn Watson? Are the Indianapolis Colts? Are the Tennessee Titans.

539
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: Are the Carolina Panthers sitting there and just watching as

540
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: they've got Cam Newton and Sam Donald at quarterback? Saying

541
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson is the guy for next year. I am fascinated.

542
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 1: And now that Rogers and Wilson are off the table,

543
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: it might not be a pleasant topic to talk about

544
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: on the show, but it's time like this is it?

545
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is still under the age of thirty. He's

546
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: really good as one of the best quarterbacks. Which team

547
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: has the stomach for it? And if he isn't filed

548
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: with these criminal charges, who's gonna be able to handle

549
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: twenty two civil cases? And also all of the negative

550
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: publicity and all maybe the negative stuff that you got

551
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: to sleep with that night in your gut knowing you're

552
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: paying him all that money and you traded all those

553
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: picks for a guy that has this going on. I'm

554
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: fascinated because the talent is off the charts and Deshaun

555
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 1: Watson can still play football and he will, I think

556
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: again in this league at Jim I p who has

557
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: a stomach or It's a great way to put it, Trakes,

558
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: excellent point way. It is news time, people, I'm will seven.

559
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: We start in Tampa where the Bucks need to figure

560
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: out who is going to be their quarterback. But whoever

561
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: is going to be under center can take solace in

562
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: the fact that they know they can still throw trip

563
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin out there. The Tampaay Buccaneers deciding to use

564
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: the franchise tag on the wide receiver for a second

565
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: straight year. That means Godwin will make just under nineteen

566
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: point two mill for the twenty twenty two season, after

567
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: earning about sixteen million on the tag this past season. This,

568
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: of course, if they can't work out a new long

569
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: term deal elsewhere. In Green Bay, the Packers placed in

570
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: the franchise tag on wide receiver Davante Adams, guaranteeing he'll

571
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: make a little more than twenty eight million dollars for

572
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two season. Packers Jim Brady. Brian Goodacoons

573
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: had previously said he'd like to sign Adams to a

574
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: long term deal, so this could just be a placeholder

575
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: until that gets done. Have until July fifteenth to get

576
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: a deal done. Most Wide Receiver news or more wide

577
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: Receiver news rather and not quite franchise tag with Chargers

578
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: wide out Mike Williams of Wedding Free Agency as he's

579
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: signing a three year, sixty million dollar contract. Williams posting

580
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: career highs and receptions and receiving yards to go along

581
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 1: with nine t d s and NFL Networks. Mike Garafolo

582
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: reporting forty nine Ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has successful surgery

583
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: on his throwing shoulder Tuesday, Mike g adding Jimmy g

584
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: isn't expected to throw for sixteen weeks, but the plan

585
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: is for him to be throwing well ahead of training camp.

586
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: Like quarterback needy teams out there, the question will be

587
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: where will Jimmy Garoppolo land. Of course, one of those

588
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: potential landing spots came, guys, is with the Washington Commanders.

589
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: Thanks so much. Will we appreciate you Commanders missing out

590
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 1: Rogers and Wilson. Their options a little more limited at quarterback.

591
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: We want them to make waves. What do we think

592
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: they should do. Is Jimmy g the guy guys that

593
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 1: they should go all in on, or should we wait

594
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: for the draft La Shawn McCoy or I'll make the

595
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: case they should maybe do both. I think they should

596
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: go get Jimmy G. He comes from a running background,

597
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: doing a great job with forty nine Ers. I could

598
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: be the same thing with the Commanders. They run the

599
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: ball very, very well. I'm with Gibson in the backfield.

600
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: I think he has something guys on the outside that

601
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: can go deep, like Scary Terry. People hate the goal

602
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: gets him with that play action game. I think he's

603
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: the best short immediate throws. He's really good at that.

604
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: He has to be game managed. I think Jimmy j

605
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: his best when he's game managed. I would say go

606
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: get him. I mean, right now, Taylor is a good quarterback,

607
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: but Honey Key is like up and down. I mean,

608
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: they pick a leventh overall, you think that's a better

609
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: option than getting all of these top prospects. They can

610
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: probably land there. I'm not big on, although I do

611
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: love mine my Picksburgh Kenny Pickins. I do love him,

612
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: but I'd like to go get guys now right like

613
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: don't I don't want to wait. I'm not sure what

614
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: the raft with the quarterbacks, how long it'll take. I'd

615
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: like to win now. Rivera as a coach that wants

616
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,239
Speaker 1: to win now. He's used to that he grew up

617
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: with having Cam Newton and that it worked for a while.

618
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: But he doesn't have that much time. We got to

619
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,479
Speaker 1: win down in this league. I think Cowboys are up

620
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,719
Speaker 1: and down that division. The Eagles are kind of finer

621
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: way as the top spot, you know, depending how it

622
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: forms and works out. So the divisions up for grabs,

623
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: why not go get Jimmy g right now? Or proving quarterback,

624
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: a winning quarterback, managed the game, run the ball with

625
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: a great defense. We have a great defense. You don't

626
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: need a quarterback to play as well. Go get them now.

627
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: I think they should. I feel like they've came out

628
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: guns blazing and like with a big swing, and you

629
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: know with the combine we're in for the quarterback market

630
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: and then the wind is really out of your sales

631
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: right now now short of the Shawn Watson who will

632
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: talk about in a bit, and short of, you know,

633
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: making a trade for some other veteran quarback that we

634
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't be aware of. That doesn't seem to be this.

635
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: That's like Trabisky, it's Garoppolo, and then it's the rookies.

636
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: I don't think they're going down to Jamis or camera out.

637
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: I think Jimmy G makes a lot of sense for

638
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: them because I do think they're competitive right now and

639
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: maybe Jimmy G is a giant upgrade from what they

640
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: already had. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think the Shaun Watson's

641
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: gonna up on the Commanders no matter what happens, for

642
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: a lot of different reasons, and he shouldn't. Jimmy She's

643
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: stock is so low. He's going to join a new

644
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: team this offseason and there's gonna be a lot of

645
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: Twitter jokes, and the fan base that gets him is

646
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: not going to be overwhelmed. I think he was legitimately

647
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: and really severely hurt for that playoff run, and he's

648
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: last time he was out of the field like, he

649
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: looked bad, he threw embarrassing interceptions, he just didn't have anything.

650
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: I think he was really hurt. I think he's much

651
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: better than he showed. Should they go all in for

652
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: I thin when you bow jim Garoppol in Washington, probably not.

653
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: And if the answer is probably not, so that, then

654
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to go in for anything. I love Jimmy,

655
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: but he's in a really weird purgatory in his career

656
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: right now. Win the NFC East with him. Maybe they're

657
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: like forty nine ers light like. They don't play quite

658
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: as good a defense, they know quite as good a

659
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: running game, and Jimmy needed all of that. It's tough.

660
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: We gotta rise and started. We got another one entry

661
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL draft. He had to be fast at

662
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,239
Speaker 1: forty a time amongst safeties at the twenty twenty two

663
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: combin the very fastest forty amongst safeties. Please welcome from

664
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: the University of Maryland Fair the Turtle safety, Nick Cross.

665
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: What's up, Nick? How you doing man? I'm good man.

666
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: How y'all doing? How y'all doing? We're doing excellent? And

667
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: so are you? Four three four none of that entry

668
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: level four three nine none, No four three four is

669
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: a safety that is faster than Tyrann, Matthew Earl, Thomas,

670
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: Mickey Fitzpatrick. These are champions. These are all pros in

671
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: that four point three four seconds. Nick, how do you

672
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: think your draft stock changed? I think it definitely went

673
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: up a little bit. You know that along with the

674
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: rest of the workout that I had was pretty good

675
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: and I think it helped raised my stock a good bit.

676
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: I feel like it went well. That did well for me.

677
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: Your six foot you ate two hundred and twelve pounds,

678
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: You got this great speed and vertical and last year

679
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: you had your best year in tackles, sacks, and interceptions,

680
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: safety position. You do it all. What was the key

681
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: from you from going a really good player to the

682
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: best player on that Turps defense? And might feel like

683
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: it was just a lot of film study in the offseason.

684
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,719
Speaker 1: Me and my coach, Coach Baker, we sat down every

685
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: day and we watched constantly, you know, offenses, how they

686
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: present themselves to defenses, the chess match in between offense

687
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: and the defenses, and um, just how they did everything

688
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: and how defenses present themselves to offenses to get the

689
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: result they want. So it was something that you know,

690
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: I took pride and be able to you know, understand

691
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: how offenses work, how they try to attack defenses, and

692
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: it definitely have elevated my game. Make it's so nice

693
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: to meet. We love having you here on Good Morning Football.

694
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: So many gms and scouts and coaches watching right now.

695
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: And I know that you're from Maryland, and I understand

696
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: that you grew up a diehard Washington fan. So I'm

697
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: just curious at your house on game day, do you

698
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: remember any um Washington games against a certain Eagles running

699
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: back name wish Boy who may or may not be

700
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: sitting to the left of me. There are a couple, Um,

701
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: there are a couple that myself was not too too

702
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: happy to be watching. Um, I would say there there

703
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,239
Speaker 1: There was the one the beat down on Monday Night

704
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: Football that I watched, and that wasn't good. And I

705
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: feel like there was one more. I think. I think

706
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: it was the second year of RG three's career. He

707
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: went rushed for like one hundred and seventy yards a

708
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns, and of course they won the game,

709
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: and it wasn't fun. I wasn't a huge fan of

710
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: you when you were in the league, especially when y'all

711
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: played my team. Well thanks, Nick, appreciate that, man, But yeah,

712
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: that's cool. So I did my homework on YouTube now

713
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: and I know that you played ball with Chase Young

714
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: um at that power star studded the math a Catholic

715
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: and you guys have a long history of great players.

716
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of Darnell Dockett, right, Brian Westbrook. In twenty sixteen, though,

717
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: you guys played a team named Bishop McDevitt, right, and

718
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: I went there. Now, I won't ask you who won

719
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: that game, but I will ask you this, um, how

720
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: was it playing UM with Chase Young at a teenage

721
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: at age? And how was that in high school? Ime?

722
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: It was definitely a lot of fun. Chase was a

723
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: guy who brought a lot of energy to the locker room.

724
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: He was definitely an alpha he played. I was a

725
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: sophomore at the time, so I was young and when

726
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: I when I played with him, but you know, he

727
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,959
Speaker 1: was definitely a great leader, someone who you could talk

728
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: to on the day, day to day basis. I'm a

729
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: lot of fun to be around in school outside of school,

730
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: and there's someone who I learned a lot from him,

731
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: Gay He motivated me every single day. I looked up

732
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: to him as as a player and as a person

733
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: and someone who I look forward to seeing at the

734
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: next level. And now he's looking for a big bounceback

735
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 1: stasion next year. Lasn is just smiling over there, so

736
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Back to the day. It's fine, it's all right. Listen.

737
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: You are an admitted film junkie. You love the tape,

738
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 1: you love the dark room. We love that stuff. So

739
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 1: we're gonna play a little game, all right, And our

740
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: producers really stuck the landing on the name. We're calling

741
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: it cross word. All right, We're gonna say the name

742
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: of a safety passer present in you, mister Cross, give

743
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: us a word that would describe that player with a

744
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: brief explanation wise, just one word, So here you go,

745
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 1: Nick Cross. One word for Hall of Fame safety Ed Reid.

746
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: What's the word? Master? He mastered the middle of the field.

747
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: He's someone who I look up to as a as

748
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: a player. He literally played sideline the sideline. He knew

749
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: how to terrorize quarterbacks and how to bait quarterbacks into

750
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: throwing him the football. And someone who I study heavily.

751
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: I like that Master. How about Jesse Bates. I'm a

752
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: big Bengals fan. What word would you use to describe

753
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: the Bengals safety? I would say he's exciting. Um, He's

754
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: someone who I watch nowadays. Is a young safety, someone

755
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: who I try to model my game after. Another one

756
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: who plays the middle of the field really well and

757
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: can can do a little bit of everything. He plays

758
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: a little bit of man coverage, can drop down to

759
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: the box, and um is known for doing well flying

760
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: over the top of making making plays for the viewers

761
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: at home. Nick, we're watching right here. An awesome kid. Obviously,

762
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: I got a text from a GM saying this guy's

763
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: a top three safety in this class. So we had

764
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: a guy who might be starting from team. Just just

765
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: be aware who you're watching right now when it all

766
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 1: goes down. How would you describe Jamal Adams in one word?

767
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: Violent on someone who who I've been watching since since

768
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: he came out of high school when he committed to LSU.

769
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: You know, violent player, loves the game of football, high energy,

770
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: and someone who's gonna you know, if we meet him

771
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: in the hole, he's definitely gonna give it to you.

772
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: They're pretty knowledgeal about your safety. So I have to

773
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: ask about a former Eagle. How would you described Hall

774
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: of Fame safety Brian Dalk. Let's go, oh, this is

775
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: this is I call a webon x. I mean webbon x.

776
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: That's what you know, you know he played everything. Um,

777
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: someone who I watched. He was one of my high

778
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: videos before I go on to the field. UM. Just

779
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 1: someone who who had pure passion for the game, someone

780
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: who you know is violent, who can take the ball

781
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: away in the past game, in the run game. And

782
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: just someone who who is the ultimate teammate. UM, someone

783
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: who was a great leader. And um, I would love

784
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: to play with him. I would love to play with him.

785
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: Ali a chance. One team says that there's the boards

786
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 1: are top three. Well all three and two teams watched

787
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: our show. I tried to tell you, Nick, and now

788
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 1: we got some of them texting Peter Schrager's how this works.

789
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: We're here to help you. You're gaining fans every second

790
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: year on the show, and I'm going to give you

791
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,919
Speaker 1: a really cool opportunity. I want you to talk to them.

792
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,919
Speaker 1: Talk to teams, talk to fan basism why they suld

793
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: draft Nick Cross to improve their defensive backfield. Let's go

794
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: all right, So from a defensive standpoint, I feel like

795
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: my athleticism and my skill set allows me to fit

796
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: into any any defensive scheme that I go into, and

797
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: fit anywhere in that defensive scheme I'm in the post.

798
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: I play sideline the sideline, literally from one sideline to

799
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: the next. White play in the box. You want to

800
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: roll me down to the box. I understand the run game,

801
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: be able to go and recavo it in the box

802
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,240
Speaker 1: and have a lot of tigers for loss and stop

803
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: the run. You want to put me a man coverage.

804
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: I do well against tight ends and slot receivers, and

805
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: even in blitzing, I feel like I'm a great blitzer.

806
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: I understand snap counts, I understand how to blitz off

807
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: the edge, blitz in the different gaps, how the offensive

808
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: line slides here and there. On special teams, I'm an

809
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 1: all four special teams guy. I played multiple special teams

810
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: throughout my career in Maryland, multiple positions on multiple special teams,

811
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: and I've just been able to make an niche there

812
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: and play at a high level. Besides all of that,

813
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: I'm a pros pro. I feel like I take care

814
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: of my body. I do the things, the little things

815
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: that will help give me that edge, taking care of

816
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: my body, watching extra film, getting in with coaches to

817
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: make sure that my technique and the scheme things are

818
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: up to par. And I'm someone who off the field.

819
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: You know, ams and coaches can go to sleep and

820
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: not knowing that they're not going to get a call

821
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: in the morning about Nick doing this and Nick doing that.

822
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: Someone who will be where he needs to be on

823
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: time early, wow, And someone who would be there and

824
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 1: be a great team in and bring great energy. If

825
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: they want a piece of that, you want to bring

826
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: that into your locker room right now. So so sorry, Nick,

827
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna become an eagle. Um. You get all of that,

828
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: you get off the field, you get special teams, and

829
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: you get a four three four forty And apparently in

830
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: the middle of the interview, Jerry Jones text Peter Speaker,

831
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,279

Speaker 1: This is why you should draft meet everyone else. Great,

837
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,359

Speaker 1: to the Mile High City to join the Denver Bronks.

840
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,040

Speaker 1: and months of speculation. Really going back to last summer.

843

Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's a Bronco and Aaron Rodgers stay as a packer,

844
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,480

853
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:39,759

854
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,640
