How are you, buddy, John, 19 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: I'm doing great man the podcast. We appreciate you. Me 20 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: and our first guest of the year and let's start 21 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: with this. We had John Maron Steve Tisch, both Giant 22 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: owners talked to the Giant Beat writers show. You saw 23 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: their quotes. What are your reaction to what they had 24 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: to say about some of the giants moves this offseason, 25 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: which has really dominated much of the national conversation. Yeah, 26 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: and that's the thing I work on Good Morning Football, 27 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: which that we're based in New York, it's really a 28 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: national show. So if the story is about the Jaguars, 29 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: on at them, the stories at the cardinal time of them. 30 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: And for about the last eight to nine days, it's 31 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: been Giants starting off every show. And it's be costly 32 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham trade. It's the cost of the vision of 33 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: this team and the coast of where we're going here. 34 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: So when you hear a owner say that, you know, 35 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: I broke my heart or you know that that was reluctant, 36 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: and then you hear that its grandkids are crying at 37 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: the fan and saying, Okay, well, what's going on here? 38 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: What is it? And I said, it's in gentleman's fans, 39 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: and it's in Dave Geentleman's hands. So it isn't Dave 40 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: Gentleman's Sands. I don't think anybody in an ideal world 41 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: wants to trade away Odell Beckham the year after you 42 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: sign them for a mega contract. But that's what they did. 43 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: And now we'll go from here and sky is the 44 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: limit with what they want to do, even the sixth 45 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: steven team. And I think the key thing, and I 46 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: said this on our show on Good Morning Football. Do 47 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: you listen to Gentleman's quotes from the conference Callie Hadward reporters, 48 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: you know, he really said that Jabro Peppers is the 49 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: value of first round kept on saying it. Say we 50 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: got two first round picks, We got the seventeenth pick, 51 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: and we got Drew brill Peppers. There's a disconnect between 52 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: how maybe us in the media, maybe how the fans 53 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: do it, and maybe how they the rest of the 54 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: league used Jabro Peppers and how Dave Gentleman used to 55 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: brill Peppers. Apparently jah Bill Peppers has the potential to 56 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: be worthy of that first round pick he was a 57 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: few years ago. And all that more, when you let 58 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: Landon Collins walk out the door and you're saying, well, 59 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: we got a first round pick in jo Bro Peppers. 60 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: So to me, that's going to be the key the 61 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: draft picks six and seventeen and how good Drew bro 62 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: Peppers is and you better hope Odell Beckham doesn't go 63 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: absolutely bonkers and blow up the league in Cleveland. Now, Pete, 64 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: you mentioned the media reaction, we all see it on Twitter, 65 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: the fan reaction, which was obviously very very loud and emotional. 66 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 1: What was the reaction you heard from the people around 67 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: the league? You talked to other general managers, coaches, people 68 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: like that to the trade was a shock. What did 69 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: people think of the value the Giant's got to return? 70 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 1: What was the general chatter around the league about the move? Yeah, 71 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: it's surprised because he signed the deal last year, but 72 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: Bill Beckham is no walk in the park. And I 73 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: think that was some of those feedback I got that 74 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: do you want to add an Odell Beckham to your team? 75 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: If you're Brown's and you're sending if you want a 76 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: guy who you know? Went on, let's call it what 77 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 1: it is. I don't think anyone in the Giants organization 78 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: was aware that Odell Beckham was going to be sitting 79 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: with Josina Anderson and little Wayne in an empty restaurant 80 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: and each motherheard talking about Eli Manning, and I think 81 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: that went over not so great, and I think some 82 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: of the stuff that happened the year prior didn't go 83 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: over so great. And yes, they gave him the contract, 84 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: but I think a lot of people around the league said, 85 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: you know what, it's not for us and guys like 86 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: him and Antonio Brown when you have a wide receiver 87 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: and you look at the position and the value of it. 88 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: The Giant for three and thirteen two years ago, and 89 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: they were five and eleven a year ago. So let's 90 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: not make it out to say that this is Tom 91 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: Brady or that this is Patrick Mahomes. It's a different position. 92 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 1: It's the wide receiver spot. And they got to it 93 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: a good deal for it. For what your David going 94 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: to trade the player you need to have at least 95 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: the first round pick. You need to have at least 96 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: a player that can start next year. You gotta have 97 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: something else. So I know they're getting clapped for it everywhere, 98 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: and it's hard to, you know, say, well, I get 99 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: what they're doing because of this, And I'm not a 100 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: general manager, I'm not Dave Gentleman, but at the very 101 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: least I know that that what they got in exchange 102 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: for him is something that they can build upon and 103 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: they're moving on. They turned into page yeah, and frankly, 104 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: it matches up with what other teams have gotten for 105 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: other prime year position players that are in quarterbacks in 106 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: the past, which is basically close to two first rounders 107 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: with depending on how you obviously qualified. Gibral Peppers lead 108 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: reaction Pete to Landon Collins contract with the Redskins. I 109 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 1: think heading into the combine, most people thought the Giants 110 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: were gonna put that franchise tag on Landon Collins. Then 111 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: when Dave Gentleman spoke at the combine, we're like, oh, 112 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: maybe not. He turned out not to do it, and 113 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: then he signed them make a deal with the Redskins. 114 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: What was the reaction youured from your contacts around the 115 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: league about what happened with Landon Collins. Well, the safety 116 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: market was saw up in the air. Everyone thought Earl 117 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: Thomas is gonna break the bank. No one knew what 118 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: Tyronn Matthew was gonna make. And then out of nowhere, 119 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: Landing Collins gets to deal that blows out the franchise 120 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: tag number. They say, okay, wow, well hey look the 121 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: league you know, you know, no one has the all 122 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: the answers, but I think people were surprised at the number. 123 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: But then once you saw what Earl got, and once 124 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: you saw a tyron Matthew got, it kind of fell 125 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: Intollian that this was the market leader and that's what 126 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: they're going. Rate was for safety. It just is what 127 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: it is. And the Giants weren't willing to pay it. 128 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: And Landing Collins got his money. He played his cards right, 129 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: you know, he said he was out and then they 130 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: didn't give him the franchise tag. He was out and 131 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: he got more money and he's going with division rival. 132 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: And from everything I'm hearing in Washington, I know those 133 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: guys pretty well. They're through the moon, they are through 134 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: the roof happy. They love Landing College. They think he's 135 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: gonna be great, and all those knocks that are very 136 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: easy on Twitter. He can he's a box safety. He 137 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: can't do coverage. He here's it. And you know Landing 138 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: pretty well, you around him a ship on the shoulder, 139 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: just like being a second round pick was no question 140 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: about a good football player and really a good presence 141 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: in that locker room. You won't find many people here 142 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: that has any thing to say. Really bad about Landon Collins. 143 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: I think that was strictly a business decision, which is 144 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: something similar to what John Maron Steve Tish both said. 145 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: You talked about the direction the Giants are gonna have 146 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: a lot of capspased next season. You mentioned all the 147 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: draft picks people, and I've seen the lower throwd on 148 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: all the TV networks and and all the shows. What's 149 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: the Giants plan? And John Marris seemed to articulated yesterday 150 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: you build while trying to compete. I guess my question 151 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: for you is how fine of a needle are you 152 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: trying to thread when you're trying to do both those 153 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: things at the same time. There's different models, you know, 154 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: and it's here's where it all comes down to. You 155 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: took Barker the second overall pick, and I think when 156 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: you talk to Giants folks, they'll say at the surefire 157 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer or a success story, and that's what 158 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: you do. You go and you get that guy when 159 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: he's a bird in the hand, and he will be. 160 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: He was everything in Moore's first year. And yet you 161 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: still don't have an answer for the quarterback yearwo and beyond. 162 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: You still don't have the first overall pick this year, 163 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: so you might be having to chase someone you might 164 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: necessarily love and you're hoping you don't have the second 165 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: take overall again. So I think it goes back to 166 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: that where if we are in this building mode and 167 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: we do not take a Josh Allen or a Josh 168 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: Rosen or a Sam Donald or even trade back and 169 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: pick a Lamar Jackson, and we don't take a quarterback 170 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,559 Speaker 1: that we love here, it's like, well, where are we going? 171 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: Because we still have a thirty eight year old quarterback 172 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: whose best days are behind him. It's a very fascinating 173 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: thread of the needle, like you said, because yeah, Golden 174 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: tapes a good player, but Golden tape at that price, 175 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: if we're not going to be competing for a Super Bowl, 176 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: is that what we want to do? When we had 177 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham at his number and there's all these questions 178 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: you can have to me, I guess you got a 179 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: trust gentleman at this point, and believe that the Giant 180 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: is an organization In the last ten years obviously with 181 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: you know, or going back to oh seven, have won 182 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: two championships, building through the draft and going from there, 183 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: and then you go back all the way to eight, 184 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: six and ninety and there's been success. If there's an 185 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: organization you can trust, it's the Marin Tish relationship, and 186 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: it's they've hired the right guys and let's put our 187 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: faith in them before we start tearing them down. I 188 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: think that's what you're hoping for as a Giants fan. 189 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: But the sixth overall pick, I'll tell you, I've got 190 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: a mock draft coming out. I think it's gonna shake 191 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: some people up because I'm talking around the league and 192 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: as great a story as the Jersey Kid coming home 193 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: with Dwayne Haskins might be, Drew Lock is getting a 194 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: lot of heat. And I've got Drew Lock going to 195 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: the Giants and sixth overall. I think they are going 196 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: to take a quarterback if if there's one on the 197 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: board that they love, and I think by the time 198 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: we're in April and everyone's talking draft and we're at 199 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: that point, I think Drew Lock is gonna be the 200 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: second quarterback taken and it's not gonna be Dwayne Haskins. 201 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: That's interesting and it's funny, like you hear a lot 202 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: of different narratives from people. Some people don't believe Gettleman 203 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: has any interest in taking a quarterback, some people think, well, 204 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: he has to take a quarterback. How heavy of interest 205 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: do you think the Giants have of using that sixth 206 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: pick specifically on a quarterback this year. I can't go 207 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: into their brains, but I don't think the Giants are 208 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: once for smoke screens. And I think you heard the 209 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: word quarterback mentioned a few times by the ownership group. 210 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 1: And I also think that it just is sensible when 211 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: you start mentioning the Kansas City model, and gentleman is 212 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 1: not one to throw things out there to deflect and 213 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: try to throw you off in the media. I think, genuinely, 214 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: if there's a quarterback they love, they'll take one at six. 215 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: And I don't think money is gonna be there too, 216 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna have to be really like 217 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: or love Haskins the Lock and hope that that one 218 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: of them there. If you do, what's the noise around 219 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: the league as to why Lock is gaining on Haskins 220 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: in the quarterback evaluation? Four years of experience, different systems. 221 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: Moxie leader of men. You go to his pro day 222 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: and everyone came back out of his pro day saying, 223 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: oh my God, those kids that play for him worship him. 224 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: They'll falling around like he's the pied piper, a little 225 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: intangible stuff. He's got a little uh, I don't know 226 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 1: what the word is, a little jerk to him. And 227 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: from what I hear senior ball came in, it was 228 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: kind of the outfit in the room. And those things 229 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: start kind of bearing out when you're like, all right, 230 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: what do we want in our quarterback? And after the 231 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: success that Baker had, people are looking for that a 232 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: little bit. Who's gonna be the guy, who's gonna be 233 00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 1: the face, who's gonna be the alpha? And I think 234 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: right now, you know, Haskins to the work in progress. 235 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if you can put Haskins on the 236 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: field right now, just after one year of experience and 237 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: you know, not having as much of a base of 238 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: oh well, this is definitely gonna translate the next slow 239 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: you know that this works with Lock, It's like, all right, 240 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: here's four years. The tape doesn't lie. He can whip 241 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: it six foot four. His father played solo, played, All 242 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: that stuff all comes into play, and I feel like 243 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: in his pro day he turned a lot of heads 244 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: and at the Common he had a good couple of days. 245 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: So are you thinking that Haskins could even maybe drop 246 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: out of the top ten? No, I think I think. 247 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: I mean, there's enough teams, whether it be Washington or 248 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: Denver or maybe even in Miami if they want to, 249 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 1: if there's a desire to go get it. I think 250 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: that had the quarterbacks go. You know, that's every year. 251 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: This correct, last year there's four in the top ten, 252 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 1: whatever it was. I can't see him falling out of 253 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: the top ten. It's too good of a talent. But 254 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: I do think Lock, when it's all said and done, 255 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: I think Lock is gonna go before Haskins Arizona. How 256 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: sure are you or do you maybe not think at 257 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: all that Kyla Murray is going to be the first 258 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: overall pick? Pretty confident Kyler Murray is gonna be the 259 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: first overall pick. That's I've got. You. Look, people think 260 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: I'm tied into them because I broke the news that 261 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: kings Burry is being hired, and they think that I 262 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't come from kings Murray. This comes 263 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: from just reading between the lines and things that I said, 264 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: the things that aren't said, and the system that Kingsburdy 265 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 1: is Gonna run and his fascination with Kyler Murray. I've 266 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: done it time and time again. I mean, this is 267 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: the guy who recruited Kyler Murray when he was a 268 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: fifteen year old kid, recruited when he was a sixteen 269 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: year old kid, recruited when he was a seventh O kid, 270 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: then when he was transferring, recruited him then again, and 271 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: has always wanted him. It's almost like the prize that 272 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: he never got to get, and now he's got the 273 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: first overall pick, and I would be very surprised knowing 274 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 1: that he knows Kyler the way he does, knowing that 275 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: he knows Kylerg's father the way he does. Kyler and 276 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: Kyler's father and Cliff have a very good relationship. It's 277 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: almost you can't write a better, you know, transition for 278 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: a college coach going into the pros and having a 279 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: college quarterback that he knows as well as he does. 280 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: I would be very, very surprised if Kyler Murray's not 281 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: the top pick of the draft, and if that happens 282 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: in the drama surrounds Josh Rosen. I know some people 283 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: have thought that maybe just the number three could get him, 284 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: which to me sounds absolutely boncos what do you think 285 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: the cost is eventually gonna be to get a guy 286 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: like Josh Rosen, who a lot of people thought was 287 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 1: a top five pick and what many people think was 288 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: a better quarterback class last year. You know a lot 289 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: of people think it's a better quarterback than Murray. A 290 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: lot of people I've talked to here like I'd rather 291 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: have Rosen than Murray. Um, I don't know, and that's 292 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: above my paygree I honestly, it sounds like I'm taking 293 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: a cop out here. I don't know. And a lot 294 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: of people are saying, well, why are the Cardinals still 295 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 1: singing along that Rosen is there? Guy? And my response 296 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 1: to that is that when you're selling a car, you 297 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: don't put it on Craig's List or eBay and say 298 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: I've got this piece of junk. Who wants it? I'll 299 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: take whatever you say. This is a great car. We 300 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: love this car. But I don't think you're ever going 301 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: to see a negative word out of the Cardinals on 302 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: Rosen because I do genuinely think if something crazier bonkers 303 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: was to happen and they didn't get Kyler Murray, it's 304 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: very happy with Josh Rosen. Um I would sink a 305 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: second round pick. I would think maybea late first. He's 306 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: good enough. He dealt with a lot of adversity last year. 307 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: And this is a key. I spooked to Steve Wilkes 308 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: at the combine and it was off the record, but 309 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:07,959 Speaker 1: I don't think Steve would have a problem me saying that. 310 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 1: I said, what do you make a Rosen and almost 311 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: trying to lead him to a horse to water, saying 312 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: what was the pain in the ass or was he 313 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,599 Speaker 1: something that That's a great kid, and he handled a 314 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: lot of adversity and I'm proud of the way he played, 315 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: and I don't have a bad thing to say about him. 316 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: So if that's a head coach who was fired up 317 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: for one year and had his hands in the quarterbacks, 318 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: and it would been very easy for him to say, well, 319 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: he's got a long way to go, and you know, 320 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: his maturity's not there. Had not a bad word to 321 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: say about him. And I've known Wilkes, you know, a 322 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: long time. He wouldn't He wouldn't talk that way if 323 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: he didn't feel that way. So I don't think that's 324 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: damaged good. I think that's just if he's on the market. 325 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: I just think people are probably hesitant to say, Okay, well, 326 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: what was wrong with him? You drafted him tense overall 327 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: and traded up to get him. Why are you? Why 328 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: are you cutting bait? Truth is I just think King's 329 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: Bury loves Kyler Murray absolutely. We're joined by Peter Schraeger 330 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: from Good Morning Football, and of course Fox Sports covers 331 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: the league. So I guess the question then for you, Pete, 332 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: we haven't had a lot of the full day visits 333 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,719 Speaker 1: with these quarterbacks with teams yet or other players of 334 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: that matter. How seriously do teams take those full day visits, 335 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: especially with quarterbacks. And to the same point, when can 336 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: we start taking a lot of the predictions and mock 337 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: drafts seriously for teams in terms of when they really 338 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: start setting their draft boards and coming to conclusions, because 339 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people try to predict this 340 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: stuff way too early. Yeah, it's the outliers. And I 341 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: think there's a couple of guys around the league. I'd 342 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: like to think I'm one of them where they, of 343 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: course look at these mock drafts and they say, Okay, 344 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: well he's got that, that's odd, Like I've got I've 345 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: got Lock going over Um Haskins. That's gonna cause way. 346 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: It's another one I've got. I've got ed Oliver the 347 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: defensive tackle to Houston over Quentin Williams right now. And 348 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: that doesn't come from nowhere, as doesn't come from me. 349 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: It comes from multiple teams telling me just wait till 350 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: ed Oliver has his pro day and he blows everyone 351 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: away on Thursday at Houston, it's going to be a show. 352 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: Like so, I'd like to think that there are certain movements. 353 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: I think mal Kiper is one of the guys, Daniel Jeremiah. 354 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: When you see a player rising upboard, that's when you 355 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: take credence into the mock draft. But those meetings, that's 356 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: our players get drafted. I mean, if you hit it 357 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: off in that fifteen minute meeting, that's great at the combine, 358 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: but then it cools and you look at the film 359 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: you're taking that visit and you're put on the board 360 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: and you've walked around the facility. How are you gonna fit? 361 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: How can we envision you? That's the stuff that teams 362 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: want to see, and I take a lot more I 363 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: think a lot more stock in that than maybe the 364 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes stuff at the combine. How seriously do GMS 365 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: take the idea because it gets thrown a lot out 366 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: there by fans and media folks of oh, well, look 367 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: at the quarterback class in we're just gonna wait a year? 368 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: Or are GM? Do you think to risk averse? Nothing? 369 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: Because I agree? Thank you there, and you're and what 370 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: you're saying is we're going to be the worst team 371 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: in football. You know we want to us so we're 372 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: not gonna be good, and I'll be I have enough 373 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: confidence that the owner is gonna keep me after a 374 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: five and eleven in the three and third teen season. 375 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go one in fifteen so I can get 376 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: to and I'm gonna be the guy to take them. 377 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: It's too competitive. There's no such thing as tanking in 378 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: the In the NFL, there's too many first year coaches 379 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: and gms just shown the door. It doesn't work like that. 380 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: It's not fantasy football. You're absolutely right, and being in 381 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: the building every day, I very much understand that. And Peter, 382 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: you're at the owner's meeting. They're discussing a lot of 383 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: rules and one piece of news that has already come 384 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: out the league has approved the additional challenge rule where 385 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: teams can now challenge both offensive and defensive pass interference 386 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: penalties called and not called, which was which was a 387 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: surprise to me because I always thought NFL teams were 388 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: much more conservative in regards to rule changes like this 389 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: than a lot of the fans and media. War Absolutely, absolutely, 390 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: I think the teams are very conservative. And I think 391 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: you saw what John Merrison in regards to that spurs 392 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: and fifteen suggestion with the onside kicks and all that 393 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: teams that you know, let's not let's not make this 394 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: arena football league just yet over a couple of hysterical fans. 395 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: I think I just want I don't want these games 396 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: to go six hours. And I know a lot of 397 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: NFL coaches and GMS and especially the broadcast teams, they 398 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: don't want them to go six hours either, So just 399 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: be careful what you wished for. I think the NFL 400 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: is to wear that calls have been questionable. I mean, 401 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: Giants fans can go back to trade junkin and that 402 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: call as they wait a second, we should have had 403 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: that down over again. It happens you get something you 404 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: don't get some and I think that's that's that's what 405 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: inside this building people are talking about it's more than 406 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: just what's hysterical. Well, I did not think I would 407 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: hear from you a defensive past the Richie Cyberg going 408 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 1: deep on the snap on the field goal was open. 409 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: He was open. You have no idea what had happened. Yeah, 410 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: and he was an eligible receiver on the plate too, 411 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 1: very very good memory. I'm impressed. See this is how 412 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: you know pizza from the metropolitan area. Folks. I'll tell 413 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: you exactly where I was for that game at another time. 414 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 1: But let's say they were some drinks involved, and uh, 415 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: I might have been rooting for some team and blues, 416 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: so I remember everything. I'm sure you were unhappy. I 417 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 1: was actually at a Nick game when that happened. Actually, 418 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: I was watching, and I was watching near one of 419 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 1: the concession stands on the concourse as the fumble snaphat 420 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: and I'm just like, wow, I cannot believe what I'm saying. 421 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: That was before I was traveling for this stuff. So 422 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: I was on a couch at my buddy's place and 423 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: we're watching and at halftime, I kid you know, was 424 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: before Jeff Garcia and Teo for about three hundred and 425 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: a second half, we were looking at flights to Tampa 426 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: and that would the ultimate jinx. We never did that 427 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: again as fans. I've never done that again for a 428 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 1: playoffs assignment. You can never write a script before it's over. 429 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: I think I am partially responsible for the Giants not 430 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: winning that games all. I'll decide whether I want to 431 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: edit that out of this podcast. Pet It's okay. The schedule. 432 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: We know what the Thursday night game to open the 433 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: season is going to be. Uh, any rumors flying around 434 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: on what that Sunday night game might be. You know, 435 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: the Patriots and hosted it, and we know whisper whisper 436 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: that the Giants do play in New England this year. Yeah, 437 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: I don't know if I don't get any of that 438 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: stuff yet. I'm fascinated to see what happens as well. 439 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,479 Speaker 1: I'm really curious. But it's gonna be interesting. I think 440 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a couple of teams are gonna be 441 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: highlighted more than others. One thing I got was, I 442 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: think we're gonna see a lot of Browns on national television, 443 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: which means the league believes in some of the moves 444 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: they're making and believes in Freddie Kitchens. So some of 445 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 1: these new faces, some of these new teams. But it's 446 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: like a lot of Chiefs, a lot of Browns. Let's 447 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: try to push my homes pushed Baker and see if 448 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: we get some new stars. I'm beat in the main stage. 449 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 1: Did I miss any storylines? Pete? What else are you 450 00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: hearing over at the Owner's meaning that it is really 451 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: dominant aiding league conversation right now? I think we hit 452 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: it all. I think we really hit it all. I 453 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: think it's it's fascinating to see the dynamics of all 454 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,959 Speaker 1: of this, everyone interacting together and seeing exactly how it's 455 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: gonna all go down. But it's crazy. The NFL season 456 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: is like a hamster wheel ware we go. I feel 457 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: like we're doing the super Bowl a couple of weeks ago, 458 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: and Combine was yesterday, and now all of a sudden, 459 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: we're in the new league year and there's a new 460 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: topics and every day there's something new to talk about. 461 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: Any any free agents left on the docket that you 462 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: think teams really going after hard that people should keep it, 463 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: I'd be interesting. I want to keep an eye on 464 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: what happens um with the Dallas defensive and the Marcus 465 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: Lawrence because I know that the Cowboys that take care 466 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: a lot of better in guys, and I don't think 467 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: he's first in their priority list, and I think pass 468 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: rushers first and a lot of teams, So I'd be 469 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: curiously how that one plays out, and I think come 470 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: draft day, I think teams might be calling to see 471 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 1: what his market abailability is. Well, before we say goodbye, feed, 472 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: I want to ask you a little bit about your 473 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: career real quick, because you know Good Morning Football, much 474 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: like in most of the facilities, it's on here on 475 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: a lot of the TV's in the mornings, and it 476 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 1: seems like you guys genuinely have a lot of fun. 477 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 1: So unless you guys are some of the best actors 478 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: in the world, it seems like you guys, we just 479 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: like coming to work and doing that show together. Yeah, 480 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: it's not it's not bad. We all kind of get along. 481 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: We're all passionate about the game, and we all like 482 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 1: having a good time. So you're spot on. I mean, 483 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 1: it's a dream job, and we kind of walked right 484 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: into it, the four of us where we didn't really 485 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: know each other. It's a lot easier when you actually 486 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: like the person next to you. But you're spot on, 487 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: and it means a lot that it's been on in 488 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,479 Speaker 1: the facilities and they keep on getting that time and 489 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: time again. Finally, how do you balance that with kind 490 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: of the reporting stuff you do with Fox? I know 491 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: sometimes the opinion stuff come by with the reporting can 492 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: get a little bit tricky.
