1 00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,668 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in 2 00:00:06,748 --> 00:00:21,988 Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:22,388 --> 00:00:23,948 Speaker 2: Good Morning Football. 4 00:00:25,308 --> 00:00:27,908 Speaker 3: Welcome, Good Morning Football. We are live in New York City. 5 00:00:27,948 --> 00:00:29,188 Speaker 3: It's Monday, July tenth. 6 00:00:29,228 --> 00:00:32,188 Speaker 4: My name is Jane Slater, alongside my buddy here, Cameron Wook. 7 00:00:32,268 --> 00:00:34,948 Speaker 4: We got Ryan Leaf and we got Falcons Pro Bowl 8 00:00:34,948 --> 00:00:38,988 Speaker 4: defensive lineman Grady Jared, who has done this incredible job, 9 00:00:39,748 --> 00:00:42,588 Speaker 4: first time on TV, first time at the breakfast table. 10 00:00:42,668 --> 00:00:44,988 Speaker 4: I know some of the guys and gals, Jamie are 11 00:00:44,988 --> 00:00:46,908 Speaker 4: going to be sad they missed you, but I feel 12 00:00:46,908 --> 00:00:48,948 Speaker 4: like you're going to be getting some ask back and 13 00:00:48,988 --> 00:00:51,508 Speaker 4: that's a good thing. So while we've got you here, 14 00:00:51,548 --> 00:00:53,468 Speaker 4: we're gonna be diving into Dolphins a little bit more. 15 00:00:54,068 --> 00:00:57,188 Speaker 4: Dalvin Cook and the Dolphins business thing. 16 00:00:57,068 --> 00:00:58,068 Speaker 3: Heating up for nut. 17 00:00:58,468 --> 00:01:01,828 Speaker 5: So right now, there's nothing imminent. From what I understand, 18 00:01:01,908 --> 00:01:05,028 Speaker 5: there's been discussions with the Dolphins in regards Dalvin Cook 19 00:01:05,028 --> 00:01:07,308 Speaker 5: as well as other teams. From what I understand, he's 20 00:01:07,388 --> 00:01:11,228 Speaker 5: received multiple offers, including one from the Dolphins. Not sure 21 00:01:11,228 --> 00:01:13,428 Speaker 5: how formal that is at this point, but right now 22 00:01:13,508 --> 00:01:14,348 Speaker 5: they're in the discussion. 23 00:01:14,388 --> 00:01:14,668 Speaker 6: Phage. 24 00:01:14,748 --> 00:01:17,868 Speaker 5: Dalvin clearly hasn't got exactly what he wants yet, and 25 00:01:17,908 --> 00:01:20,588 Speaker 5: he's willing to wait. The next marker we have is 26 00:01:20,628 --> 00:01:22,308 Speaker 5: training camp two and a half weeks. A lot of 27 00:01:22,308 --> 00:01:25,628 Speaker 5: times the deadlines per action, but talking to people close 28 00:01:25,668 --> 00:01:28,188 Speaker 5: to him, he's willing to wait even further if that 29 00:01:28,268 --> 00:01:30,548 Speaker 5: number doesn't come right to him. He's willing to wait 30 00:01:30,588 --> 00:01:33,468 Speaker 5: till maybe urgency picks up closer to the season. And 31 00:01:33,548 --> 00:01:36,188 Speaker 5: the teams I've been heard to talk I've been told 32 00:01:36,388 --> 00:01:39,428 Speaker 5: to watch the most are the Dolphins. Also the Jets 33 00:01:39,788 --> 00:01:42,308 Speaker 5: and the Patriots, three teams in the AFC East, and 34 00:01:42,348 --> 00:01:45,068 Speaker 5: so you have teams in the same division all trying 35 00:01:45,068 --> 00:01:47,428 Speaker 5: to chase the Bills. Those three teams are probably the 36 00:01:47,548 --> 00:01:50,668 Speaker 5: underdogs in their division, underdogs week one, And so the 37 00:01:50,748 --> 00:01:53,668 Speaker 5: question happens, does one jump the bullet there's one up there, 38 00:01:53,748 --> 00:01:57,108 Speaker 5: offer a couple million dollars and make it happen right now? 39 00:01:57,148 --> 00:02:00,148 Speaker 5: I'd say, if everything's equal, the Miami Dolphins have the 40 00:02:00,228 --> 00:02:02,908 Speaker 5: advantage because Dalvin Cook has made clear he wants to 41 00:02:02,908 --> 00:02:06,188 Speaker 5: come home. He's a Miami nigh and so he wants 42 00:02:06,228 --> 00:02:08,268 Speaker 5: to be there, and they have a great need for him. 43 00:02:08,308 --> 00:02:11,508 Speaker 5: Mike McDaniel could use another running back like Dalvin Cook 44 00:02:11,548 --> 00:02:14,068 Speaker 5: to really exploit at offense. But one thing to watch 45 00:02:14,228 --> 00:02:17,228 Speaker 5: is Dalvin Cook is a Miami kid, but he went 46 00:02:17,228 --> 00:02:20,308 Speaker 5: to Florida State and so he left his hometown team 47 00:02:20,308 --> 00:02:22,628 Speaker 5: to go to another team that he fell in love with. 48 00:02:22,708 --> 00:02:25,588 Speaker 5: And so could the Jets or Patriots be the Florida 49 00:02:25,628 --> 00:02:28,028 Speaker 5: State in this situation if they ended up having an 50 00:02:28,028 --> 00:02:30,788 Speaker 5: offer or a role that ended up being sexier for him. 51 00:02:31,148 --> 00:02:33,428 Speaker 5: That's one thing to watch. Money money plays a big 52 00:02:33,468 --> 00:02:35,748 Speaker 5: factor in this as well, and so that's something I 53 00:02:35,748 --> 00:02:39,068 Speaker 5: think we'll watch in the weeks ahead training camp and beyond. 54 00:02:39,348 --> 00:02:41,868 Speaker 5: Maybe not this week, but Dalvin Cook's still a big 55 00:02:41,908 --> 00:02:42,748 Speaker 5: fish out there. 56 00:02:43,068 --> 00:02:44,948 Speaker 6: Does he end up with the fish all of them? 57 00:02:45,028 --> 00:02:47,188 Speaker 4: And it's crazy that can we talk about just the 58 00:02:47,228 --> 00:02:49,788 Speaker 4: devaluing of the running backs? We saw it starting really 59 00:02:49,828 --> 00:02:52,268 Speaker 4: with Todd Gurley, Remember it was Todd Gurley and then 60 00:02:52,268 --> 00:02:55,068 Speaker 4: Ezekiel only got his contract that after that, it just 61 00:02:55,068 --> 00:02:57,068 Speaker 4: felt like the running back market, you know, the tread 62 00:02:57,108 --> 00:02:59,428 Speaker 4: on the tires. But you know, I look at Dalvin 63 00:02:59,468 --> 00:03:01,468 Speaker 4: Cook and you look at Miami. I think Dalvin has 64 00:03:01,468 --> 00:03:04,908 Speaker 4: a lot of leverage here Cam because I think going 65 00:03:04,908 --> 00:03:07,908 Speaker 4: into the situation with Tua, what lightens the load is 66 00:03:07,908 --> 00:03:09,868 Speaker 4: to have a running back like Dalvin, but a lot 67 00:03:09,908 --> 00:03:10,948 Speaker 4: of these running backs they don't. 68 00:03:10,948 --> 00:03:11,988 Speaker 3: They've proven they don't. 69 00:03:11,788 --> 00:03:14,308 Speaker 4: Need training camp, right, they can come in a little 70 00:03:14,348 --> 00:03:16,908 Speaker 4: bit later in the season. And it's also preserving your legs. 71 00:03:16,948 --> 00:03:20,828 Speaker 4: It's extending your career. So I don't I personally don't 72 00:03:20,868 --> 00:03:23,788 Speaker 4: think this thing is going to necessarily happen in camp, 73 00:03:23,868 --> 00:03:25,828 Speaker 4: but it could happen that let's say a trade deadline. 74 00:03:26,468 --> 00:03:28,508 Speaker 4: We'll see how the thing shakes out for them this season. 75 00:03:28,588 --> 00:03:29,788 Speaker 6: And one more thing on Dalvin. 76 00:03:30,148 --> 00:03:32,108 Speaker 5: He still owed two million dollars from the Vikings, and 77 00:03:32,148 --> 00:03:34,428 Speaker 5: so that plays a factor in it too. It's offset 78 00:03:34,468 --> 00:03:36,748 Speaker 5: if he goes to another team, and so that ups 79 00:03:36,748 --> 00:03:39,308 Speaker 5: your money demand. If you're offering them two million dollars, 80 00:03:39,348 --> 00:03:40,948 Speaker 5: well he's getting that from the Vikings. Why is he 81 00:03:41,348 --> 00:03:43,228 Speaker 5: urgent there? You have to up your offer a little bit. 82 00:03:43,228 --> 00:03:45,588 Speaker 5: More from that, you mentioned the Dolphins. They were thirty 83 00:03:45,588 --> 00:03:47,548 Speaker 5: first in rushing last year, and so they have some 84 00:03:47,628 --> 00:03:50,188 Speaker 5: good talent running backs in there, where Heem Mosher is 85 00:03:50,188 --> 00:03:52,868 Speaker 5: a really good player. They like their rookie devon a chain, 86 00:03:52,988 --> 00:03:55,668 Speaker 5: so they have talent, but nobody on that room is 87 00:03:55,748 --> 00:03:58,468 Speaker 5: quite Dalvin Cook, even at this level, and so I 88 00:03:58,548 --> 00:04:01,348 Speaker 5: think that would be an incredible weapon for the Dolphins 89 00:04:01,348 --> 00:04:03,428 Speaker 5: to add. And we'll just see over the next few 90 00:04:03,468 --> 00:04:03,948 Speaker 5: weeks how it. 91 00:04:04,108 --> 00:04:07,468 Speaker 7: Forgre That for me was really interesting because you're you're 92 00:04:07,508 --> 00:04:10,548 Speaker 7: talking about some other Al East teams or sorry. 93 00:04:10,868 --> 00:04:12,388 Speaker 6: A Baseball. 94 00:04:15,348 --> 00:04:20,948 Speaker 7: All Star Games job, David Ross, I love you, I 95 00:04:21,028 --> 00:04:23,868 Speaker 7: love you. I thought the Bills were in in that 96 00:04:24,028 --> 00:04:26,108 Speaker 7: conversation too, you know, you know, bring him home, play, 97 00:04:26,228 --> 00:04:29,428 Speaker 7: play with his brother mentality. But also those are three 98 00:04:29,468 --> 00:04:32,748 Speaker 7: teams that are looking at what Miami's doing and knowing 99 00:04:32,748 --> 00:04:34,428 Speaker 7: that Miami has a real shot this and you had 100 00:04:34,428 --> 00:04:37,228 Speaker 7: another piece and it's almost not only can he make 101 00:04:37,268 --> 00:04:40,108 Speaker 7: our team better, but we can stop a competitor of 102 00:04:40,108 --> 00:04:43,028 Speaker 7: ours of getting better, right, And that's a big conversation 103 00:04:43,108 --> 00:04:45,108 Speaker 7: in this And the reason you're talking about these four 104 00:04:45,148 --> 00:04:47,228 Speaker 7: teams is because they're all in the a FC East 105 00:04:47,268 --> 00:04:49,988 Speaker 7: and they understand how darn competitive this division. 106 00:04:49,668 --> 00:04:50,068 Speaker 6: Is going to be. 107 00:04:50,188 --> 00:04:53,348 Speaker 3: Can you just see Mike McDaniel cooking with him offense. 108 00:04:53,028 --> 00:04:54,828 Speaker 6: Oh Man thinking abou him scheme. 109 00:04:54,628 --> 00:04:56,748 Speaker 7: In That's why it was so surprising that they were 110 00:04:56,748 --> 00:04:59,508 Speaker 7: thirty first in rushing last year for how innovative he 111 00:04:59,588 --> 00:05:01,388 Speaker 7: is in the rushing game and how he goes about 112 00:05:01,388 --> 00:05:04,508 Speaker 7: his business. I think that changes significantly whether or not 113 00:05:04,828 --> 00:05:06,068 Speaker 7: Dalvin cooks in Miami. 114 00:05:06,108 --> 00:05:08,868 Speaker 5: Next, one thing about that Ryan Mike McDaniel apologized to 115 00:05:08,948 --> 00:05:11,108 Speaker 5: his running backs last year about saying they didn't run 116 00:05:11,148 --> 00:05:13,668 Speaker 5: the ball enough. He's the run game coordinator for forty 117 00:05:13,748 --> 00:05:15,548 Speaker 5: nine ers, and so I guarantee you they won't be 118 00:05:15,588 --> 00:05:17,868 Speaker 5: thirty first this year with or without Dalvin Cook. 119 00:05:17,908 --> 00:05:19,228 Speaker 6: He's made that clear. 120 00:05:19,428 --> 00:05:21,468 Speaker 5: They were just inefficient sometimes on first down, so he 121 00:05:21,468 --> 00:05:23,268 Speaker 5: would go away from it so quickly. 122 00:05:23,308 --> 00:05:23,708 Speaker 6: And it's heart. 123 00:05:23,748 --> 00:05:26,348 Speaker 5: You got Tyreek Hill, you got Jaylen Waddle. Sometimes it's 124 00:05:26,348 --> 00:05:28,308 Speaker 5: just it's easy to go to the pass game. 125 00:05:28,188 --> 00:05:31,428 Speaker 7: And this is going to be very important, and it's 126 00:05:31,468 --> 00:05:34,388 Speaker 7: a way to protect your main assets. It's a way 127 00:05:34,428 --> 00:05:36,908 Speaker 7: to protect to your quarterback. Yeah, and that's a huge 128 00:05:36,948 --> 00:05:39,268 Speaker 7: part of it. When he started games and finished games, 129 00:05:39,268 --> 00:05:40,668 Speaker 7: they won the football game. 130 00:05:40,708 --> 00:05:42,508 Speaker 2: Yes, they were an excellent order piece to all that. 131 00:05:42,588 --> 00:05:45,308 Speaker 4: You know, NFL plus is looking for more content as 132 00:05:45,308 --> 00:05:47,708 Speaker 4: we roll this out. I just want to Mike McCarthy, 133 00:05:47,788 --> 00:05:49,508 Speaker 4: I mean Mike McDaniel, Well, Mike McCarthy too. 134 00:05:49,508 --> 00:05:52,468 Speaker 3: This season came interesting. Mike McDaniel miked up. 135 00:05:52,588 --> 00:05:54,828 Speaker 4: Where you can just click and subscribe because I find 136 00:05:54,868 --> 00:05:58,108 Speaker 4: his off the sidelines Mike stuff so fascinating. 137 00:05:58,388 --> 00:05:59,708 Speaker 3: What a fun team you get to cover. 138 00:05:59,868 --> 00:06:02,108 Speaker 6: Oh, I wouldn't trade it. I wouldn't trade it for another. 139 00:06:01,908 --> 00:06:03,308 Speaker 3: Miami doesn't suck either, my friend. 140 00:06:03,348 --> 00:06:06,108 Speaker 4: Oh No, all right, Well, should the Dolphins, who were 141 00:06:06,108 --> 00:06:08,468 Speaker 4: impressive at times in twenty twenty two be the most 142 00:06:08,628 --> 00:06:13,148 Speaker 4: feared AFC East team in twenty twenty three, Grandy, let's 143 00:06:13,148 --> 00:06:13,788 Speaker 4: ask you about that. 144 00:06:14,068 --> 00:06:15,788 Speaker 8: I don't know they should be the most fear I mean, 145 00:06:15,828 --> 00:06:18,228 Speaker 8: it's too a healthy man, They definitely, you know, forced 146 00:06:18,228 --> 00:06:19,868 Speaker 8: to be wrecking with. But I mean, I don't see 147 00:06:19,908 --> 00:06:21,428 Speaker 8: how you can take away from the Bills right now, 148 00:06:21,468 --> 00:06:23,308 Speaker 8: you know. I mean, they've they've been They've been doing 149 00:06:23,308 --> 00:06:25,388 Speaker 8: such a good job the past couple of years, you know, 150 00:06:25,428 --> 00:06:27,988 Speaker 8: with Josh Allen, Stefan Diggs from the outside man. I mean, 151 00:06:28,068 --> 00:06:30,308 Speaker 8: and they defense always been playing really well. So I 152 00:06:30,308 --> 00:06:32,788 Speaker 8: don't know if they can really unseat the Bills right now, 153 00:06:32,788 --> 00:06:34,268 Speaker 8: you know, in that division as far as the most 154 00:06:34,308 --> 00:06:37,188 Speaker 8: feared team. But like I said earlier, I think that 155 00:06:37,268 --> 00:06:38,428 Speaker 8: division is wild. 156 00:06:38,828 --> 00:06:40,388 Speaker 6: Before I jump into getting. 157 00:06:40,508 --> 00:06:42,868 Speaker 4: Real quick, are you less threatened by the Bills to 158 00:06:42,988 --> 00:06:46,188 Speaker 4: see how some of their postseasons have gone. That's good 159 00:06:46,308 --> 00:06:48,508 Speaker 4: because I mean, and Kyle Brant, this is your fault. 160 00:06:48,628 --> 00:06:50,988 Speaker 4: Every time he's on Good Morning Football, he anoints the 161 00:06:50,988 --> 00:06:52,868 Speaker 4: Bills as the team to beat every season. 162 00:06:53,068 --> 00:06:56,468 Speaker 3: They have been so disappointing in the postseason. So do 163 00:06:56,548 --> 00:06:58,228 Speaker 3: they feel like the Boogeyman anymore? 164 00:06:58,308 --> 00:06:59,868 Speaker 6: Kyle Storn is remote at you right now, Jae. 165 00:06:59,948 --> 00:07:02,828 Speaker 3: Probably they're not gonna let me come back. 166 00:07:03,668 --> 00:07:05,628 Speaker 2: They will, and it's understandable. 167 00:07:05,708 --> 00:07:07,668 Speaker 7: There's a piece to it, okay, And I don't think 168 00:07:07,708 --> 00:07:11,228 Speaker 7: people take it in collectively. They were arguably the best 169 00:07:11,228 --> 00:07:13,748 Speaker 7: football team in all football last year, and you know 170 00:07:13,828 --> 00:07:16,708 Speaker 7: the tragic events on Monday Night that happened with DeMar Hamlin. 171 00:07:16,748 --> 00:07:18,228 Speaker 7: I don't care who you are, and I was one 172 00:07:18,268 --> 00:07:20,708 Speaker 7: of the only ones out there saying postpone these games 173 00:07:20,708 --> 00:07:23,948 Speaker 7: this week. Just take that wild card weekend or that 174 00:07:24,308 --> 00:07:26,708 Speaker 7: AFS between the AFCMFC championships. Wh would take that off? 175 00:07:26,708 --> 00:07:28,988 Speaker 7: Players need to check in with each other, and I 176 00:07:28,988 --> 00:07:31,988 Speaker 7: don't care. Buffalo never got to do that. Luckily, they 177 00:07:31,988 --> 00:07:35,108 Speaker 7: didn't run into a buzzsaw on New England. Necessarily, they 178 00:07:35,108 --> 00:07:38,188 Speaker 7: tried to, but luckily Hines took to back to the house. 179 00:07:38,348 --> 00:07:40,068 Speaker 7: Then they went up against the third string quarterback in 180 00:07:40,108 --> 00:07:43,468 Speaker 7: Skyler Thompson. No knock on Skyler first playoff game is 181 00:07:43,508 --> 00:07:45,428 Speaker 7: a rookie to go in to do it. But then 182 00:07:45,788 --> 00:07:48,628 Speaker 7: they run into a really, really good team and at 183 00:07:48,668 --> 00:07:50,468 Speaker 7: some point they were going to hit that proverbial wall, 184 00:07:50,508 --> 00:07:52,788 Speaker 7: and that's what they did against the Cincinnati Bengals. So 185 00:07:53,268 --> 00:07:56,788 Speaker 7: has that doubt crept in because of the thirteen seconds right, 186 00:07:56,908 --> 00:07:59,548 Speaker 7: because of what went down last year, this is still 187 00:07:59,548 --> 00:08:02,508 Speaker 7: one of the best football teams in all of the NFL, 188 00:08:02,988 --> 00:08:05,468 Speaker 7: and they're just kind of being disrept guarded once again. 189 00:08:06,068 --> 00:08:10,508 Speaker 4: And so based on Dig's storyline, seas I. 190 00:08:10,468 --> 00:08:13,788 Speaker 7: Mean Sean McDermott said he has concerns about So it 191 00:08:13,828 --> 00:08:16,268 Speaker 7: is concerning. You don't want your best player at the 192 00:08:16,268 --> 00:08:19,388 Speaker 7: skill position to be a problem, you know, And that's 193 00:08:19,428 --> 00:08:20,428 Speaker 7: all corrected by winning. 194 00:08:20,988 --> 00:08:22,548 Speaker 2: You go out and win football games. 195 00:08:23,268 --> 00:08:25,068 Speaker 7: And there are some diva wide receivers who may not 196 00:08:25,068 --> 00:08:27,788 Speaker 7: be getting the ball, but our winning are okay with it. 197 00:08:27,828 --> 00:08:28,268 Speaker 2: Some aren't. 198 00:08:28,308 --> 00:08:30,748 Speaker 7: I think Stefan Diggs. Ultimately, if you win and they're 199 00:08:30,748 --> 00:08:32,988 Speaker 7: playing for a championship, he's going to be in that place. 200 00:08:33,508 --> 00:08:36,148 Speaker 7: So all of these things rolled into one. Yes, there's 201 00:08:36,188 --> 00:08:37,468 Speaker 7: a part of it. I still have a lot of 202 00:08:37,508 --> 00:08:39,788 Speaker 7: belief in Josh Allen as one of the best quarterbacks 203 00:08:39,828 --> 00:08:42,988 Speaker 7: in this league. With what Sean McDermott can do calling 204 00:08:42,988 --> 00:08:46,068 Speaker 7: the defense now in his own mind, the fact they 205 00:08:46,068 --> 00:08:47,828 Speaker 7: went out and got Dalton Kincaid in the draft, I 206 00:08:47,828 --> 00:08:49,628 Speaker 7: think is a big, big deal. The fact that they 207 00:08:49,748 --> 00:08:51,548 Speaker 7: jumped and got him before the Dallas Cowboys there, I 208 00:08:51,548 --> 00:08:53,188 Speaker 7: think that's a steal that a lot of people haven't 209 00:08:53,188 --> 00:08:53,828 Speaker 7: talked about either. 210 00:08:53,868 --> 00:08:55,508 Speaker 2: So the bills for me are still at the top. 211 00:08:55,708 --> 00:08:57,428 Speaker 7: I do think Miami has a real chance to win 212 00:08:57,468 --> 00:08:59,588 Speaker 7: the division. We do not know what the Jets are 213 00:08:59,628 --> 00:09:01,668 Speaker 7: going to look like. We believe with the expectations of 214 00:09:01,668 --> 00:09:03,508 Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers that means something big. 215 00:09:03,748 --> 00:09:04,308 Speaker 2: We don't know that. 216 00:09:04,868 --> 00:09:06,828 Speaker 7: And then New England again, is it kind of a crapshoot? 217 00:09:06,868 --> 00:09:09,468 Speaker 7: Bill Belichick compartmentalizes week to week. He could run the 218 00:09:09,468 --> 00:09:12,028 Speaker 7: ball every single down one game to win or throw 219 00:09:12,068 --> 00:09:14,068 Speaker 7: it every single down to win one game. He does 220 00:09:14,188 --> 00:09:15,828 Speaker 7: it better than any coach has ever done it in 221 00:09:15,828 --> 00:09:18,188 Speaker 7: the history of the NFL. So they're not the most 222 00:09:18,228 --> 00:09:20,388 Speaker 7: feared team in the AFC East. I still believe the 223 00:09:20,428 --> 00:09:22,188 Speaker 7: most feared team in the AFC has to be the 224 00:09:22,228 --> 00:09:24,308 Speaker 7: Buffalo Bills because of the weapons that they have. 225 00:09:24,548 --> 00:09:26,708 Speaker 2: We'll see and we'll get to see it September eleventh. 226 00:09:26,788 --> 00:09:29,268 Speaker 4: Yeah, would they have been still a little bit more 227 00:09:29,308 --> 00:09:31,508 Speaker 4: of a boogeyman if Brian day Ball had stayed one 228 00:09:31,508 --> 00:09:34,068 Speaker 4: war year because they were building on how much did 229 00:09:34,228 --> 00:09:35,428 Speaker 4: Dave Ball's absence. 230 00:09:36,188 --> 00:09:38,148 Speaker 7: I'm gonna be honest with you, I truly think the 231 00:09:38,188 --> 00:09:41,628 Speaker 7: thirteen seconds expose them in a way that is immeasurable 232 00:09:41,668 --> 00:09:45,068 Speaker 7: because it wasn't necessarily on the players. It was it 233 00:09:45,228 --> 00:09:48,588 Speaker 7: showcased no matter who you are, in the biggest moment, 234 00:09:48,748 --> 00:09:52,028 Speaker 7: with the most pressure and stress, you panic, you do 235 00:09:52,108 --> 00:09:54,628 Speaker 7: things that you normally wouldn't do. They did not communicate 236 00:09:54,628 --> 00:09:56,108 Speaker 7: to the kicker he boots it out of the ENDZ. 237 00:09:56,388 --> 00:09:58,188 Speaker 7: They don't roll it down. They don't hold everybody and 238 00:09:58,188 --> 00:10:00,068 Speaker 7: bring them to the ground. So they don't get a chance. 239 00:10:00,348 --> 00:10:03,308 Speaker 7: They win that game at Arrowhead Cincinnati. If Cincinnati has 240 00:10:03,348 --> 00:10:05,548 Speaker 7: to go to Buffalo next week, I don't think they 241 00:10:05,548 --> 00:10:06,988 Speaker 7: do it. I think Buffalo goes on and wins the 242 00:10:06,988 --> 00:10:10,148 Speaker 7: super Bowl there. And I am so fearful that we 243 00:10:10,188 --> 00:10:12,908 Speaker 7: attached those thirteen seconds to the identity of this Buffalo 244 00:10:13,028 --> 00:10:15,148 Speaker 7: Bills team when that window closes, and I don't want 245 00:10:15,188 --> 00:10:17,508 Speaker 7: to see that happen because I think they're very capable 246 00:10:17,908 --> 00:10:19,668 Speaker 7: of doing it. But that is a bit of that Boogeyman. 247 00:10:19,828 --> 00:10:22,548 Speaker 7: Those things for the Buffalo Bills, the four consecutive losses 248 00:10:22,548 --> 00:10:24,668 Speaker 7: in the Super Bowl being started by that miss. 249 00:10:24,628 --> 00:10:25,948 Speaker 3: Kick, the hangovers. 250 00:10:26,148 --> 00:10:28,468 Speaker 4: Yes, to bring your back, I feel like, to bring 251 00:10:28,508 --> 00:10:30,788 Speaker 4: yourself to it's so hard to get to that point, 252 00:10:31,068 --> 00:10:33,428 Speaker 4: but to bring yourself back the way they've lost the 253 00:10:33,508 --> 00:10:35,748 Speaker 4: last two seasons, it's like, that's what I feel for 254 00:10:35,788 --> 00:10:36,668 Speaker 4: these guys especially. 255 00:10:36,868 --> 00:10:37,788 Speaker 3: Look, I'm not a player. 256 00:10:37,868 --> 00:10:40,268 Speaker 4: You guys are the players, but covering the team I 257 00:10:40,388 --> 00:10:44,908 Speaker 4: feel a little, but I feel their emotions at the 258 00:10:44,988 --> 00:10:47,188 Speaker 4: end of their year, you know, because it's so hard 259 00:10:47,228 --> 00:10:47,748 Speaker 4: to get that. 260 00:10:47,708 --> 00:10:49,628 Speaker 3: Same team back. The team is. 261 00:10:49,708 --> 00:10:52,308 Speaker 4: Never going to look the same right as the team 262 00:10:52,388 --> 00:10:55,628 Speaker 4: that just got you us, and when it's a special team, 263 00:10:55,668 --> 00:10:58,228 Speaker 4: it's so hard to replicate. And that's where I feel 264 00:10:58,228 --> 00:10:59,708 Speaker 4: for those guys in the locker room. Well, we get 265 00:10:59,708 --> 00:11:00,628 Speaker 4: to see that raw mode. 266 00:11:00,748 --> 00:11:03,388 Speaker 7: I felt like you guys responded so well the year 267 00:11:03,428 --> 00:11:05,468 Speaker 7: after the Super Bowl, Like I don't think a lot 268 00:11:05,468 --> 00:11:07,588 Speaker 7: of people fully understand how well you came back, You 269 00:11:07,628 --> 00:11:10,628 Speaker 7: went out to La got only. 270 00:11:10,588 --> 00:11:12,068 Speaker 2: Team from the previous year to make it back to 271 00:11:12,108 --> 00:11:14,268 Speaker 2: the Yes, And I think that's so im President. 272 00:11:14,548 --> 00:11:17,588 Speaker 7: What was your mindset around that when to the point 273 00:11:17,628 --> 00:11:19,668 Speaker 7: where you had something like that play out and you 274 00:11:19,748 --> 00:11:21,868 Speaker 7: know you had to refocus and go back at it 275 00:11:21,868 --> 00:11:24,188 Speaker 7: because you might have you know that that opportunity may 276 00:11:24,188 --> 00:11:24,948 Speaker 7: have may have last. 277 00:11:24,988 --> 00:11:26,428 Speaker 2: How do you get back there? I mean, you just 278 00:11:26,428 --> 00:11:27,268 Speaker 2: got to go back to work. 279 00:11:27,308 --> 00:11:29,468 Speaker 8: You know, yesterday's gone, you know, so you got to 280 00:11:29,468 --> 00:11:31,508 Speaker 8: go back to work and just put your best foot forward. 281 00:11:31,508 --> 00:11:34,228 Speaker 8: And you can't let one shortcome determine your rest of 282 00:11:34,268 --> 00:11:36,108 Speaker 8: your destiny, you know, and so be able to be 283 00:11:36,108 --> 00:11:38,028 Speaker 8: able to flush that bad feeling and be able to 284 00:11:38,068 --> 00:11:40,508 Speaker 8: get back to the playoffs that year was there super special. 285 00:11:40,588 --> 00:11:41,708 Speaker 2: So that's where we had now just. 286 00:11:41,708 --> 00:11:43,308 Speaker 8: Trying to get back in the playoffs and the postseason 287 00:11:43,348 --> 00:11:45,908 Speaker 8: out with the Falcons. But you can't let when bad 288 00:11:45,908 --> 00:11:48,428 Speaker 8: things happen just continue to just drag and drag and 289 00:11:48,508 --> 00:11:51,068 Speaker 8: use it as an excuse because you say, life going 290 00:11:51,308 --> 00:11:53,468 Speaker 8: legal like you go, you better find out a way 291 00:11:53,508 --> 00:11:54,708 Speaker 8: to you know, get it right real. 292 00:11:55,068 --> 00:11:56,868 Speaker 2: You know it's gonna be something else or you're gonna 293 00:11:56,868 --> 00:11:57,188 Speaker 2: be gone. 294 00:11:57,228 --> 00:11:59,068 Speaker 5: So a lot of these conversations are going on in 295 00:11:59,188 --> 00:12:02,468 Speaker 5: the Jets, the Dolphins, Patriots locker rooms. They saw season 296 00:12:02,508 --> 00:12:04,068 Speaker 5: as they try to figure out, how do we get 297 00:12:04,068 --> 00:12:06,108 Speaker 5: the Bill? But you got to beat the king to 298 00:12:06,188 --> 00:12:08,508 Speaker 5: be the king. In three straight titles, they're going to 299 00:12:08,548 --> 00:12:10,548 Speaker 5: their fourth. They're going to be favorites once again. The 300 00:12:10,588 --> 00:12:12,188 Speaker 5: only thing I worry about with the Bills, you guys 301 00:12:12,188 --> 00:12:14,828 Speaker 5: are talking about all these playoff scars they have. You 302 00:12:14,868 --> 00:12:17,628 Speaker 5: can't overlook your division. Every year they've ended losing to 303 00:12:17,668 --> 00:12:19,228 Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow. But you got to get 304 00:12:19,228 --> 00:12:22,748 Speaker 5: to Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow to get there right 305 00:12:22,948 --> 00:12:26,828 Speaker 5: right last year last year, the Dolphins went healthy. The 306 00:12:26,868 --> 00:12:29,468 Speaker 5: Dolphins went healthy last year, beat him with Tua and 307 00:12:29,668 --> 00:12:31,108 Speaker 5: and going down the stretch. 308 00:12:31,308 --> 00:12:33,548 Speaker 2: And so the game in the snow and it showcased 309 00:12:33,548 --> 00:12:34,308 Speaker 2: at Miami in two. 310 00:12:34,548 --> 00:12:36,708 Speaker 5: It does back and forth, and so I think the 311 00:12:36,788 --> 00:12:39,788 Speaker 5: Dolphins and the Jets are closing that gap for a 312 00:12:39,828 --> 00:12:42,668 Speaker 5: more expensive Bills team and a more competitive AFC East. 313 00:12:42,868 --> 00:12:45,588 Speaker 5: This Dolphins team winning got Vic Vangio a new defensive 314 00:12:45,628 --> 00:12:48,388 Speaker 5: coordinator to pair with Jalen Ramsey, and so they have 315 00:12:48,468 --> 00:12:51,668 Speaker 5: a little bit more firepower to compete with a Josh Allen. 316 00:12:51,748 --> 00:12:53,748 Speaker 5: Last year, a lot of players were critical of their 317 00:12:53,788 --> 00:12:55,908 Speaker 5: defensive scheme. The Dolphins were because they were a little 318 00:12:55,908 --> 00:12:57,828 Speaker 5: bit blitz happy. They were a little bit man happy, 319 00:12:57,948 --> 00:13:00,228 Speaker 5: and Josh Allen exposed at that time. There was a 320 00:13:00,268 --> 00:13:02,668 Speaker 5: deep ball he threw to Stefon Diggs when they ran 321 00:13:03,428 --> 00:13:05,868 Speaker 5: cover zero blitz three plays in a row and finally 322 00:13:05,868 --> 00:13:09,028 Speaker 5: Stefan Dicks got Exavi and Howard Well vic Fangio. 323 00:13:09,068 --> 00:13:10,428 Speaker 6: Ideally you avoid. 324 00:13:10,108 --> 00:13:12,388 Speaker 5: Some of those situations there and so if to A 325 00:13:12,508 --> 00:13:14,908 Speaker 5: stays healthy, and that's the big if with the Dolphins, 326 00:13:14,948 --> 00:13:18,028 Speaker 5: I think this team, the Dolphins are, had their best 327 00:13:18,108 --> 00:13:19,268 Speaker 5: chance to dethrone the Bills. 328 00:13:19,268 --> 00:13:20,828 Speaker 6: Now they got to do it. You got to beat 329 00:13:20,868 --> 00:13:23,268 Speaker 6: the King. But this is the best chance that any 330 00:13:23,308 --> 00:13:24,948 Speaker 6: team's had of the last four I picked. 331 00:13:24,948 --> 00:13:26,428 Speaker 2: The Dolphins didn't win the division this year. 332 00:13:26,428 --> 00:13:26,788 Speaker 4: There you go. 333 00:13:26,788 --> 00:13:28,148 Speaker 6: A lot of Dolphins fans are gonna love that. 334 00:13:28,628 --> 00:13:29,508 Speaker 3: Look at us all. 335 00:13:29,468 --> 00:13:31,188 Speaker 4: Energize for the football season. 336 00:13:31,828 --> 00:13:33,988 Speaker 3: It's an exhausting year, but we're ready for football. 337 00:13:33,988 --> 00:13:49,028 Speaker 9: I know the fans are too. 338 00:13:50,108 --> 00:13:52,308 Speaker 10: It's news type people I will save, but glad you 339 00:13:52,348 --> 00:13:55,348 Speaker 10: are with us. And after backing up at Dalvin Cook 340 00:13:55,508 --> 00:13:59,228 Speaker 10: in Minnesota for the past four years. Alexander Madison is 341 00:13:59,268 --> 00:14:02,348 Speaker 10: now the man in the Vikings backfield and he's excited 342 00:14:02,428 --> 00:14:05,628 Speaker 10: for the opportunity to the workhorse. 343 00:14:07,188 --> 00:14:09,588 Speaker 11: For me, it's a great opportunity for me to step 344 00:14:09,668 --> 00:14:11,988 Speaker 11: in the role and step into the limelight the position 345 00:14:12,028 --> 00:14:15,668 Speaker 11: that I've always jumped of being in, and just really 346 00:14:15,708 --> 00:14:17,628 Speaker 11: just all the work that I put in to this point, 347 00:14:17,668 --> 00:14:19,988 Speaker 11: all the work that I followed in his footsteps, putting 348 00:14:20,028 --> 00:14:22,268 Speaker 11: in you know, me and him side by side and 349 00:14:22,348 --> 00:14:25,348 Speaker 11: that backfield challenging each other every day, prepared me for 350 00:14:25,548 --> 00:14:27,828 Speaker 11: a moment like this where I can have the opportunities 351 00:14:28,068 --> 00:14:29,308 Speaker 11: to see what's in front of me. 352 00:14:30,988 --> 00:14:34,228 Speaker 6: And it is there for the taking. Meanwhile, in Sincy, 353 00:14:34,668 --> 00:14:35,668 Speaker 6: Bengals defensive end. 354 00:14:35,628 --> 00:14:38,548 Speaker 10: Sam Hubbard has some big goals for himself and the team. 355 00:14:38,588 --> 00:14:41,708 Speaker 10: In twenty twenty three, Hubbard telling the team's website his 356 00:14:41,708 --> 00:14:44,428 Speaker 10: main goal and only goal is to win the Super Bowl, 357 00:14:44,428 --> 00:14:48,348 Speaker 10: but individually, he says he feels the best he's ever 358 00:14:48,388 --> 00:14:50,908 Speaker 10: felt and wants to reach double digit sacks in the 359 00:14:50,948 --> 00:14:54,028 Speaker 10: regular season. His career high in the regular season is 360 00:14:54,108 --> 00:14:57,988 Speaker 10: eight and a half sax in twenty twenty one, and 361 00:14:58,108 --> 00:15:01,428 Speaker 10: Bronco Is running back Javonte Williams says the plan is 362 00:15:01,468 --> 00:15:03,828 Speaker 10: for him to be cleared from his knee injury and 363 00:15:03,868 --> 00:15:06,508 Speaker 10: be ready to go for the start of training camp. 364 00:15:06,588 --> 00:15:10,108 Speaker 10: Williams suffering a torn acl in Week four last season 365 00:15:10,468 --> 00:15:13,428 Speaker 10: at Fell Networks. James Palmer says he was told Williams 366 00:15:13,668 --> 00:15:17,388 Speaker 10: has been working hard in his rehab and impressing those 367 00:15:17,548 --> 00:15:22,548 Speaker 10: within the organization. Now, Williams had more than twelve hundred 368 00:15:22,628 --> 00:15:26,468 Speaker 10: yards scrimmage yars that is, and seven touchdowns in his 369 00:15:26,548 --> 00:15:29,828 Speaker 10: rookie season in twenty twenty one. So Jane and guys, 370 00:15:30,188 --> 00:15:32,588 Speaker 10: A healthy Williams certainly going to be a big bonus 371 00:15:32,828 --> 00:15:36,028 Speaker 10: for Sean Payton and that offense in Denver. 372 00:15:36,428 --> 00:15:39,508 Speaker 4: You know, we don't really talk a lot about the Broncos, 373 00:15:39,668 --> 00:15:41,668 Speaker 4: and it's been hard to talk about them, to be 374 00:15:41,828 --> 00:15:44,268 Speaker 4: fair lately, will But you know, we were having a 375 00:15:44,308 --> 00:15:48,068 Speaker 4: really interesting conversation just in the break just about sort 376 00:15:48,068 --> 00:15:53,428 Speaker 4: of Russell Wilson and Sean Payton's effect on him. And 377 00:15:53,468 --> 00:15:55,788 Speaker 4: so when we talk about Russell Wilson, I know, you know, 378 00:15:55,788 --> 00:15:57,628 Speaker 4: we were talking in the break, Ryan, you had this 379 00:15:57,708 --> 00:16:01,908 Speaker 4: really interesting conversation trying to make sense of why the 380 00:16:02,068 --> 00:16:05,748 Speaker 4: year went the way it did in Denver, especially because 381 00:16:05,748 --> 00:16:08,308 Speaker 4: there were such high expectations for Hackett and such high 382 00:16:08,308 --> 00:16:11,268 Speaker 4: expectations and bringing you Russell there when they didn't get 383 00:16:11,348 --> 00:16:15,868 Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers. That was a big deal for those that 384 00:16:15,908 --> 00:16:18,188 Speaker 4: aren't familiar with sort of your. 385 00:16:18,148 --> 00:16:18,868 Speaker 3: Thoughts on that. 386 00:16:19,628 --> 00:16:22,788 Speaker 4: Take us back to why you think maybe this was 387 00:16:22,788 --> 00:16:24,268 Speaker 4: an outlier of a season for Russell. 388 00:16:24,748 --> 00:16:29,788 Speaker 7: Well, well, I'll say this, there's no excuse. He would 389 00:16:29,788 --> 00:16:32,908 Speaker 7: be first to say he played poorly last year and 390 00:16:33,228 --> 00:16:34,548 Speaker 7: this is just for some context. 391 00:16:34,628 --> 00:16:35,028 Speaker 6: Okay. 392 00:16:35,548 --> 00:16:37,588 Speaker 7: He worked hand in hand with a man by the 393 00:16:37,668 --> 00:16:41,628 Speaker 7: name of Trevor Moat. Now, Trevor built an empire around 394 00:16:41,788 --> 00:16:44,268 Speaker 7: motivation and helping people. Nick Saban was one of the 395 00:16:44,308 --> 00:16:47,188 Speaker 7: first coaches that brought him in. Kirby Smart to speak 396 00:16:47,388 --> 00:16:51,068 Speaker 7: to those players talk about this neutral thinking way of life. 397 00:16:51,148 --> 00:16:53,228 Speaker 7: It is you do not allow negative thoughts to enter 398 00:16:53,268 --> 00:16:56,868 Speaker 7: your mind or anything like that. It's a cognitive behavior approach. Now, 399 00:16:56,908 --> 00:16:59,908 Speaker 7: Trevor worked with Russell ever since he started, and Russell 400 00:16:59,948 --> 00:17:03,628 Speaker 7: bought into this immensely, so much so that I think 401 00:17:03,628 --> 00:17:05,628 Speaker 7: a lot of people when when you watch Russell sometimes 402 00:17:05,708 --> 00:17:08,948 Speaker 7: comes across maybe as a sim right, it almost seems 403 00:17:08,948 --> 00:17:10,908 Speaker 7: that way. You have the catchphrase at the end of 404 00:17:10,948 --> 00:17:14,948 Speaker 7: press conferences, whether he's in Seattle or now in Denver, 405 00:17:15,468 --> 00:17:18,028 Speaker 7: Broncos Country, Let's ride. It's just something that kind of 406 00:17:18,228 --> 00:17:19,188 Speaker 7: evens everything out. 407 00:17:19,268 --> 00:17:19,548 Speaker 2: Well. 408 00:17:20,428 --> 00:17:25,628 Speaker 7: Trevor was just a huge important piece of my life 409 00:17:25,668 --> 00:17:28,348 Speaker 7: when I walked out of prison seven years ago. He 410 00:17:28,428 --> 00:17:30,508 Speaker 7: taught me a different way to think, and I can 411 00:17:30,628 --> 00:17:33,628 Speaker 7: understand fully how Russell goes about his business. We lost 412 00:17:33,668 --> 00:17:36,548 Speaker 7: Trevor last year or just over two years ago. This 413 00:17:36,668 --> 00:17:39,628 Speaker 7: was the first full season that Russell did not have 414 00:17:40,028 --> 00:17:42,468 Speaker 7: his guy a way to go into it, that neutral 415 00:17:42,468 --> 00:17:45,268 Speaker 7: thinking thing, and I do think he overcompensated. I feel 416 00:17:45,308 --> 00:17:48,068 Speaker 7: like he compartmentalized some things that he shouldn't have. He 417 00:17:48,188 --> 00:17:51,188 Speaker 7: distanced himself from his teammates, and he came across maybe 418 00:17:51,228 --> 00:17:53,468 Speaker 7: more as a simulation than any of the year he 419 00:17:53,548 --> 00:17:56,708 Speaker 7: has now. I spoke with Russell and his family this offseason. 420 00:17:56,788 --> 00:17:59,628 Speaker 7: They've said that this was actually something that impacted and 421 00:17:59,668 --> 00:18:02,428 Speaker 7: they have found a solution and they've rectified it. I 422 00:18:02,468 --> 00:18:04,188 Speaker 7: think one of the big rectifiers and all this is 423 00:18:04,508 --> 00:18:06,788 Speaker 7: to Sean Payton. He is a guy that will motivate 424 00:18:06,828 --> 00:18:08,748 Speaker 7: and he will change the culture of a locker room 425 00:18:08,748 --> 00:18:11,268 Speaker 7: He's done it before, and so that's why I expect 426 00:18:11,268 --> 00:18:14,148 Speaker 7: to rebound. I think this team is incredibly talented offensively 427 00:18:14,148 --> 00:18:16,228 Speaker 7: and defensively. Sean Payton may be one of the best 428 00:18:16,268 --> 00:18:19,188 Speaker 7: schemers offensively anybody out there in terms of doing multiple things, 429 00:18:19,228 --> 00:18:21,028 Speaker 7: giving you different looks. You went up against him for 430 00:18:21,068 --> 00:18:23,268 Speaker 7: many years, and so I do think that they come 431 00:18:23,308 --> 00:18:25,028 Speaker 7: back and they bounce back, and they're going to be vying, 432 00:18:25,068 --> 00:18:27,148 Speaker 7: in my opinion, with the Chargers for a place in 433 00:18:27,188 --> 00:18:28,908 Speaker 7: the playoffs next year. And I think they do get 434 00:18:28,948 --> 00:18:32,108 Speaker 7: over the top russells. Russell he can play football, and 435 00:18:32,188 --> 00:18:33,708 Speaker 7: Sean Payton's not going to put him in a lot 436 00:18:33,748 --> 00:18:35,668 Speaker 7: of positions to make mistakes a lot like. 437 00:18:35,628 --> 00:18:36,348 Speaker 2: He did Drew Brees. 438 00:18:36,428 --> 00:18:38,868 Speaker 7: So yeah, I expect to bounce back for the Denver 439 00:18:38,908 --> 00:18:40,388 Speaker 7: Broncos and Russell Wilson this year. 440 00:18:40,868 --> 00:18:43,068 Speaker 4: What are your thoughts when you see, you know, people 441 00:18:43,068 --> 00:18:45,548 Speaker 4: talking about especially players like Russell Wilson. 442 00:18:45,988 --> 00:18:47,428 Speaker 3: You know a lot of us that aren't in the 443 00:18:47,468 --> 00:18:49,108 Speaker 3: inner circle. It's conjecture. 444 00:18:49,348 --> 00:18:50,948 Speaker 4: You know, we're talking to people that have worked with 445 00:18:50,988 --> 00:18:53,028 Speaker 4: them or people in the locker room. But how hard 446 00:18:53,108 --> 00:18:55,188 Speaker 4: is that sometimes for a player when you see the 447 00:18:55,268 --> 00:18:57,668 Speaker 4: narrative out there and maybe it's not the narrative, and 448 00:18:57,948 --> 00:19:00,068 Speaker 4: it takes a guy like Ryan to sort of make 449 00:19:00,188 --> 00:19:01,468 Speaker 4: sense of why you're struggling. 450 00:19:01,828 --> 00:19:03,308 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, you always got to make your own 451 00:19:03,388 --> 00:19:05,268 Speaker 8: judgmental people. When you get the opportunity to meet him, 452 00:19:05,268 --> 00:19:06,828 Speaker 8: you know, I think something that's gonna help Rustle on 453 00:19:06,868 --> 00:19:09,428 Speaker 8: the Broncos this year, him having another year with him. 454 00:19:09,508 --> 00:19:11,628 Speaker 8: You know, every thing happened so fast last year with 455 00:19:11,708 --> 00:19:13,868 Speaker 8: him getting a big deal, getting trade everything and had 456 00:19:13,908 --> 00:19:15,708 Speaker 8: to go right up top. So but I think with 457 00:19:15,828 --> 00:19:17,908 Speaker 8: him spending more time with his teammates, I think they're 458 00:19:17,908 --> 00:19:20,428 Speaker 8: gonna have a better camaraderie because you can only go 459 00:19:20,468 --> 00:19:22,708 Speaker 8: off with you hear, you know sometimes with certain people, 460 00:19:22,708 --> 00:19:25,108 Speaker 8: and that's no fault of somebody else's, but you know 461 00:19:25,348 --> 00:19:27,148 Speaker 8: just how the way it goes. So it takes time, 462 00:19:27,228 --> 00:19:31,188 Speaker 8: you know, to develop these relationships and trust. And I 463 00:19:31,388 --> 00:19:34,068 Speaker 8: think just what you know, Tom hills off, so hopefully 464 00:19:34,068 --> 00:19:36,708 Speaker 8: for them that that time paid off well to have 465 00:19:36,748 --> 00:19:37,628 Speaker 8: everybody work together. 466 00:19:37,788 --> 00:19:39,148 Speaker 6: Just want to follow off with Grady. I think you 467 00:19:39,188 --> 00:19:39,868 Speaker 6: had a great point. 468 00:19:40,228 --> 00:19:42,868 Speaker 5: Sometimes you have to rewrite your narrative, rewrite your perspective 469 00:19:42,908 --> 00:19:45,068 Speaker 5: of maybe how you think of it. We know what 470 00:19:45,068 --> 00:19:47,388 Speaker 5: the narrative is on Russ and what people think about 471 00:19:47,468 --> 00:19:50,108 Speaker 5: him publicly, and he may have maybe have to do 472 00:19:50,108 --> 00:19:53,388 Speaker 5: that in his own locker room, make people comfortable around him, 473 00:19:53,628 --> 00:19:56,628 Speaker 5: make himself comfortable. And one thing that should help start 474 00:19:56,668 --> 00:19:58,548 Speaker 5: a report was about Javonte Williams. 475 00:19:58,628 --> 00:19:58,788 Speaker 9: Right. 476 00:19:58,988 --> 00:20:01,268 Speaker 5: People forget how good he was as a player as 477 00:20:01,268 --> 00:20:04,148 Speaker 5: a rookie, a monster in breaking tackles. You look at 478 00:20:04,148 --> 00:20:06,228 Speaker 5: somebody numbers, he was second in an NFL as a 479 00:20:06,268 --> 00:20:09,028 Speaker 5: rookie in broken tackles as a rookie. And so if 480 00:20:09,068 --> 00:20:11,628 Speaker 5: he is coming back, that helps your quarterback for a 481 00:20:11,708 --> 00:20:14,348 Speaker 5: lot more comfortable. If you've got that running back who's 482 00:20:14,428 --> 00:20:16,908 Speaker 5: monstering in between the trenches. 483 00:20:16,828 --> 00:20:18,708 Speaker 3: It's Sean Payton, it's Russell Wilson. 484 00:20:18,828 --> 00:20:21,148 Speaker 4: For those of you guys that want Broncos news, you 485 00:20:21,148 --> 00:20:23,428 Speaker 4: can guarantee we're gonna be talking a lot about that 486 00:20:23,468 --> 00:20:27,628 Speaker 4: team when the regular season shows up. Just quarterback Aaron 487 00:20:27,748 --> 00:20:30,948 Speaker 4: Rodgers putting in work at the gymnast offseason and it 488 00:20:31,028 --> 00:20:35,708 Speaker 4: looks like he has the gains to prove it. Ryan Rodgers' 489 00:20:35,748 --> 00:20:38,868 Speaker 4: final year in Green Bay, he just looked miserable. This 490 00:20:38,948 --> 00:20:40,748 Speaker 4: moved to the Jets, seems to have sort of injected 491 00:20:40,748 --> 00:20:41,188 Speaker 4: with him. 492 00:20:41,028 --> 00:20:42,468 Speaker 3: A renewed love of the game. 493 00:20:43,068 --> 00:20:44,868 Speaker 4: Are we about to see the best of Aaron Rodgers? 494 00:20:44,948 --> 00:20:46,788 Speaker 4: And sometimes have changed the scenery good? 495 00:20:46,988 --> 00:20:49,388 Speaker 7: I always say this, and I always thought a geographic 496 00:20:49,468 --> 00:20:51,988 Speaker 7: change was always the right thing. But no matter where 497 00:20:52,028 --> 00:20:55,428 Speaker 7: you go, there you are, and if you're the problem, 498 00:20:55,668 --> 00:20:57,388 Speaker 7: that's going to go with you. And I happen to 499 00:20:57,428 --> 00:20:59,028 Speaker 7: be the problem most of the time, so I usually 500 00:20:59,068 --> 00:21:00,468 Speaker 7: took it with me. I don't want to think Aaron 501 00:21:00,508 --> 00:21:03,508 Speaker 7: Rodgers is that he brings some baggage to the conversation. 502 00:21:03,748 --> 00:21:07,388 Speaker 7: But you're exactly right. There's an influence coming here. There's 503 00:21:07,428 --> 00:21:11,908 Speaker 7: a young group. He feels revitalized, regenerated a little bit. 504 00:21:12,548 --> 00:21:16,268 Speaker 7: But let's just make people understand truly, this is still 505 00:21:16,308 --> 00:21:18,348 Speaker 7: the New York Jets. I don't care how far you 506 00:21:18,428 --> 00:21:20,508 Speaker 7: think they've come and built this out or the other. 507 00:21:21,268 --> 00:21:23,588 Speaker 7: They still are the New York Jets. And they have 508 00:21:23,708 --> 00:21:27,508 Speaker 7: not been to a Super Bowl and in anybody's lifetime 509 00:21:27,508 --> 00:21:30,028 Speaker 7: in this room, I think is a way to put it. Okay, 510 00:21:30,308 --> 00:21:31,868 Speaker 7: So this is going to be very difficult in the 511 00:21:31,948 --> 00:21:34,588 Speaker 7: vision that still has the Buffalo Bills in the Miami 512 00:21:34,628 --> 00:21:37,188 Speaker 7: Dolphins team that is making incredible push and you just 513 00:21:37,388 --> 00:21:40,228 Speaker 7: never know what New England brings to the table. So 514 00:21:40,308 --> 00:21:44,108 Speaker 7: I love what Aaron Rodgers is. I've known him for years. 515 00:21:44,388 --> 00:21:47,228 Speaker 7: My wife loves him because he sat with her while 516 00:21:47,268 --> 00:21:48,948 Speaker 7: she was, you know, eight months pregnant and talked to 517 00:21:48,988 --> 00:21:50,988 Speaker 7: her for like an hour. So she's rooting for him. 518 00:21:51,028 --> 00:21:53,788 Speaker 7: I'm rooting for him. Unfortunately it's with the Jets, So 519 00:21:53,868 --> 00:21:57,308 Speaker 7: don't expect too much. Don't put those expectations too high. Everybody, 520 00:21:57,388 --> 00:21:59,428 Speaker 7: but Aaron, I love that you are loving life again 521 00:21:59,508 --> 00:22:01,948 Speaker 7: and enjoying it and seeing somebody you know and a 522 00:22:02,068 --> 00:22:09,868 Speaker 7: slowly aging male looking decent yet people like menial millennial. 523 00:22:09,988 --> 00:22:11,708 Speaker 5: Yeah, so, Ryan, I thought what you said about the 524 00:22:11,748 --> 00:22:14,868 Speaker 5: Jets is very interesting because this is a big market team. 525 00:22:14,908 --> 00:22:17,188 Speaker 6: We're here in New York. The Jets drive everything. 526 00:22:17,348 --> 00:22:19,948 Speaker 5: The Jets have the longest playoffs drought of any team 527 00:22:19,948 --> 00:22:22,428 Speaker 5: in major sports, all fourteen. They haven't made the playoffs 528 00:22:22,428 --> 00:22:25,508 Speaker 5: of twenty ten. So Aaron Rodgers arrives and he changes everything. 529 00:22:25,708 --> 00:22:28,068 Speaker 5: He changes expectations. This goes from a team that has 530 00:22:28,108 --> 00:22:30,668 Speaker 5: not been a playoff team to now super Bowl expectations. 531 00:22:30,708 --> 00:22:32,788 Speaker 5: I know he's a guy that everybody loves. The hate 532 00:22:32,788 --> 00:22:35,108 Speaker 5: he's polarizing off the field because of what he says 533 00:22:35,148 --> 00:22:38,468 Speaker 5: and what he does. But throughout last year before he 534 00:22:38,548 --> 00:22:41,148 Speaker 5: was a back to back MVP. And you know, I 535 00:22:41,188 --> 00:22:43,268 Speaker 5: just saw a guy like Tom Brady go to another 536 00:22:43,308 --> 00:22:45,668 Speaker 5: team and have a resurgence and win the Super Bowl. 537 00:22:45,788 --> 00:22:48,788 Speaker 5: And so maybe I'm naive, but I'm not going to 538 00:22:48,868 --> 00:22:51,148 Speaker 5: count Aaron Rodgers out from being able to do that. 539 00:22:51,348 --> 00:22:53,468 Speaker 5: I think that he's still a top quarterback, a top 540 00:22:53,588 --> 00:22:56,268 Speaker 5: seven quarterback in this league. And I think that's why 541 00:22:56,308 --> 00:22:58,508 Speaker 5: the AFC East is the best division of football because 542 00:22:58,508 --> 00:22:59,988 Speaker 5: you could look at the Jets, you could look at 543 00:23:00,028 --> 00:23:01,428 Speaker 5: the Dolphins, you can look at the Bills and say, 544 00:23:01,428 --> 00:23:03,348 Speaker 5: any of those teams can not only win a division, 545 00:23:03,548 --> 00:23:05,748 Speaker 5: but make some noise. And so I'm with it. I 546 00:23:05,748 --> 00:23:07,588 Speaker 5: think Aaron Rodgers is gonna be a fun watch this year. 547 00:23:07,948 --> 00:23:10,068 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think he's gonna be due. I think he's 548 00:23:10,108 --> 00:23:11,308 Speaker 8: gonna do a good job for him. I mean, you 549 00:23:11,348 --> 00:23:12,908 Speaker 8: can't count of the mind he won the best quarterbacks 550 00:23:12,908 --> 00:23:15,308 Speaker 8: ever played a game and definitely a good addition to 551 00:23:15,348 --> 00:23:17,348 Speaker 8: their team. But as far as that division, I mean, 552 00:23:17,388 --> 00:23:19,348 Speaker 8: they got so many good teams, you know, the Bills, 553 00:23:19,708 --> 00:23:22,308 Speaker 8: the Jets. I mean now Aaron Aaron Rodgers Miami, and 554 00:23:22,308 --> 00:23:24,708 Speaker 8: then you can never really count out the Patriots coach Bilichick, 555 00:23:24,708 --> 00:23:26,108 Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying. So you never I said 556 00:23:26,108 --> 00:23:28,988 Speaker 8: that division why, I mean, why open the air, you know. 557 00:23:29,068 --> 00:23:31,508 Speaker 8: But as far as I mean, you can't just credit 558 00:23:31,548 --> 00:23:33,228 Speaker 8: the effect that Aaron brings. 559 00:23:32,908 --> 00:23:33,508 Speaker 6: To the Jets. 560 00:23:33,668 --> 00:23:37,268 Speaker 4: I think when I don't cover Aaron that much that 561 00:23:37,308 --> 00:23:39,428 Speaker 4: he's not Some of it I regularly cover as part 562 00:23:39,428 --> 00:23:39,908 Speaker 4: of my beat. 563 00:23:40,028 --> 00:23:43,628 Speaker 3: But just looking at the way he was working on. 564 00:23:43,628 --> 00:23:46,628 Speaker 4: His messaging on the Pat McPhee show, looking to change 565 00:23:46,628 --> 00:23:49,068 Speaker 4: the narrative, you got the sense that he felt like 566 00:23:49,508 --> 00:23:52,468 Speaker 4: he was taking a lot of responsibility for things he 567 00:23:52,508 --> 00:23:55,508 Speaker 4: didn't feel he had ownership in. And now these with 568 00:23:55,588 --> 00:23:57,668 Speaker 4: the Jets, it's sort of is you know, we heard 569 00:23:57,708 --> 00:24:00,708 Speaker 4: about the demands, my friend Diana Rassini reporting that he 570 00:24:00,868 --> 00:24:03,668 Speaker 4: got some of those demands, but now it's also on you. 571 00:24:03,668 --> 00:24:06,068 Speaker 3: You've made some of these, We've given you everything you want. 572 00:24:06,348 --> 00:24:07,908 Speaker 4: Now you sort of have to put up or shut up, 573 00:24:08,108 --> 00:24:09,748 Speaker 4: And I think Aaron Rodgers is the type of guy 574 00:24:09,788 --> 00:24:10,268 Speaker 4: that can do that. 575 00:24:10,588 --> 00:24:13,148 Speaker 3: Going back, more conversation about football. 576 00:24:12,788 --> 00:24:13,188 Speaker 6: After this. 577 00:24:25,828 --> 00:24:27,348 Speaker 2: Good Morning Football. 578 00:24:28,588 --> 00:24:32,028 Speaker 4: All right, we're back here on Good Morning football, Ken 579 00:24:32,308 --> 00:24:35,188 Speaker 4: Grady and I all claim NFL cities as our home. 580 00:24:35,308 --> 00:24:37,348 Speaker 3: So since we've got you here, we want you to 581 00:24:37,388 --> 00:24:38,828 Speaker 3: talk about some of the hometown. 582 00:24:38,508 --> 00:24:42,188 Speaker 4: Quarterback Yeah all right, So first up, obviously, Ryan, you're 583 00:24:42,188 --> 00:24:44,988 Speaker 4: the quarterback expert. I live in Dallas. I cover the 584 00:24:45,068 --> 00:24:47,548 Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys. Let's break down Dak Prescott. 585 00:24:47,828 --> 00:24:50,108 Speaker 7: Well, we got some good film from from last year's 586 00:24:50,108 --> 00:24:52,548 Speaker 7: Tampa Wild Car that I talked about a little bit earlier. 587 00:24:52,548 --> 00:24:54,388 Speaker 7: This is a big year. The expectations are through the 588 00:24:54,468 --> 00:24:57,108 Speaker 7: roof for him, and as a quarterback, you have to 589 00:24:57,188 --> 00:24:59,748 Speaker 7: trust where your wide receiver or tight end in this 590 00:24:59,748 --> 00:25:01,788 Speaker 7: case is going to be. I expect great things from 591 00:25:01,868 --> 00:25:04,308 Speaker 7: Dak Prescott this year. We'll see how far that can 592 00:25:04,388 --> 00:25:05,908 Speaker 7: carry's the Dallas Cowboys team. 593 00:25:05,988 --> 00:25:08,548 Speaker 4: I mean, remember the Washington game. You're supposed to close 594 00:25:08,548 --> 00:25:10,788 Speaker 4: out the division. We were on the road in Washington 595 00:25:10,908 --> 00:25:14,388 Speaker 4: and he had what three picks against Sam how Sam House. 596 00:25:14,628 --> 00:25:15,748 Speaker 3: It was his first start. 597 00:25:16,348 --> 00:25:18,788 Speaker 4: He was talked about in the press, he was demoralized, 598 00:25:18,868 --> 00:25:21,348 Speaker 4: and he literally got Tom Brady to retire after that game. 599 00:25:21,748 --> 00:25:24,188 Speaker 4: That was wild to me. Yeah, and that shows what 600 00:25:24,228 --> 00:25:27,708 Speaker 4: you were saying earlier. He's got all the makeup the 601 00:25:27,788 --> 00:25:29,068 Speaker 4: problem is putting it all together. 602 00:25:29,188 --> 00:25:31,948 Speaker 3: Well, the consistency of the consistency has been a problem. 603 00:25:32,508 --> 00:25:34,468 Speaker 7: That's the difference between and I'm sure you realized this 604 00:25:34,548 --> 00:25:36,748 Speaker 7: better than anybody, Grady watching great quarterbacks when you were. 605 00:25:36,628 --> 00:25:37,268 Speaker 2: With Matt Ryan. 606 00:25:37,628 --> 00:25:41,268 Speaker 7: I mean every single week you got consistency from him. 607 00:25:41,308 --> 00:25:42,468 Speaker 2: You knew what you were going to get. 608 00:25:42,508 --> 00:25:44,028 Speaker 7: If you went out performed, most likely we're going to 609 00:25:44,068 --> 00:25:45,788 Speaker 7: win the game because guy is just go on. And 610 00:25:45,788 --> 00:25:47,828 Speaker 7: if you can get that from Dak Prescott on a 611 00:25:47,828 --> 00:25:49,908 Speaker 7: week to week basis, this team is going to be 612 00:25:49,988 --> 00:25:52,548 Speaker 7: very good because this defense is special. And you had 613 00:25:52,628 --> 00:25:53,948 Speaker 7: Dan Quinn as a head coach, and you know how 614 00:25:53,948 --> 00:25:54,788 Speaker 7: special dan Quinn is. 615 00:25:55,948 --> 00:25:58,708 Speaker 5: Team typically follows your quarterback well and night quarterbacks and consistent. 616 00:25:58,788 --> 00:26:01,588 Speaker 4: I think more importantly, we talked consistency, consistency from the 617 00:26:01,628 --> 00:26:04,308 Speaker 4: wide receivers. You know, you really need Ceedee Lamb to 618 00:26:04,588 --> 00:26:06,828 Speaker 4: really take that number one spot. And I also think 619 00:26:07,148 --> 00:26:08,948 Speaker 4: the fact they got Brandon Cooks is. 620 00:26:08,948 --> 00:26:09,948 Speaker 6: Going to be huge. 621 00:26:10,548 --> 00:26:12,028 Speaker 2: I think he really missed that last year. 622 00:26:12,348 --> 00:26:14,148 Speaker 7: Marii Cooper was a guy that I think a lot 623 00:26:14,188 --> 00:26:16,428 Speaker 7: of people didn't realize how much that affected Ceedee Lamb. 624 00:26:16,588 --> 00:26:18,068 Speaker 7: And we saw that absence last year. 625 00:26:18,108 --> 00:26:19,548 Speaker 6: Absolutely absolutely so. Ryan. 626 00:26:19,588 --> 00:26:21,508 Speaker 5: I'm down in South Florida, and when we talk about 627 00:26:21,508 --> 00:26:24,548 Speaker 5: South Florida and Dolphins, it starts with number one, who know, 628 00:26:25,148 --> 00:26:27,428 Speaker 5: let me know what you see intuasunga ailoua well. 629 00:26:27,468 --> 00:26:29,668 Speaker 7: For me, he was one of the most accurate quarterbacks 630 00:26:29,708 --> 00:26:32,548 Speaker 7: coming out of college. She simply is so effective. It's 631 00:26:32,548 --> 00:26:34,868 Speaker 7: one of the most impressive things I've seen about Tua 632 00:26:34,988 --> 00:26:38,428 Speaker 7: throughout his early career is how accurate he is when 633 00:26:38,428 --> 00:26:42,788 Speaker 7: he's in there. Now he of course, and everybody's got 634 00:26:42,828 --> 00:26:44,228 Speaker 7: to talk about the consistency factor. 635 00:26:44,268 --> 00:26:45,948 Speaker 2: When he started games and finished games. 636 00:26:45,788 --> 00:26:46,068 Speaker 6: They won. 637 00:26:46,268 --> 00:26:49,228 Speaker 7: Yep, they just they did. He was excellent, he was efficient. 638 00:26:49,308 --> 00:26:49,868 Speaker 7: This team won. 639 00:26:50,148 --> 00:26:53,988 Speaker 2: When he didn't because of the concussions, they lost football games. 640 00:26:54,028 --> 00:26:56,828 Speaker 7: And I think one of the biggest offseason signings this 641 00:26:56,868 --> 00:26:59,108 Speaker 7: year was Mike White. I do think that he is 642 00:26:59,108 --> 00:27:01,108 Speaker 7: going to be asked to finish a game, a big 643 00:27:01,148 --> 00:27:03,748 Speaker 7: game against the Bills, against the Jets and do something 644 00:27:03,868 --> 00:27:06,748 Speaker 7: very impact feel to get Miami over the hump. To 645 00:27:06,748 --> 00:27:08,828 Speaker 7: have a veteran be able to step in there if 646 00:27:08,868 --> 00:27:11,108 Speaker 7: it is a playoff game and not Skyler Thompson, that's 647 00:27:11,108 --> 00:27:12,588 Speaker 7: a big deal for me and I think it's something 648 00:27:12,628 --> 00:27:15,588 Speaker 7: that Jets may regret losing him when you have Zach 649 00:27:15,628 --> 00:27:18,468 Speaker 7: Wilson sitting there now, Miami has Mike White down in 650 00:27:18,588 --> 00:27:21,348 Speaker 7: South Florida there to make a special effort for this 651 00:27:21,388 --> 00:27:22,628 Speaker 7: team if and when they need him. 652 00:27:22,668 --> 00:27:24,748 Speaker 5: The season's based on too his availability, Yes, but I 653 00:27:24,788 --> 00:27:26,788 Speaker 5: want to talk about something different other than the availability. 654 00:27:26,828 --> 00:27:29,148 Speaker 5: Can we always talk about the availability with Tua that 655 00:27:29,228 --> 00:27:31,708 Speaker 5: it overshadows how good he was last year when he 656 00:27:31,708 --> 00:27:34,268 Speaker 5: was on the field, led the league compassiating the times 657 00:27:34,268 --> 00:27:36,788 Speaker 5: and he was a perfect fit with Mike McDaniel in 658 00:27:36,788 --> 00:27:38,708 Speaker 5: this offense. He had two years where he was up 659 00:27:38,708 --> 00:27:41,108 Speaker 5: and down, so many questions. Can he throw the deep ball? 660 00:27:41,148 --> 00:27:43,308 Speaker 5: He is he good enough? Can you maximize Tyreek Kill 661 00:27:43,468 --> 00:27:45,628 Speaker 5: and Jaylen Waddell. He had two receivers in the top 662 00:27:45,708 --> 00:27:47,628 Speaker 5: seven in reception yards last year. 663 00:27:47,628 --> 00:27:47,948 Speaker 6: That's two. 664 00:27:48,148 --> 00:27:50,708 Speaker 5: That's him when he's on the field, even with missing games, 665 00:27:50,708 --> 00:27:52,668 Speaker 5: and so this guy can be really special in a 666 00:27:52,708 --> 00:27:56,468 Speaker 5: timing based offense with Mike McDaniel. He is already looking 667 00:27:56,508 --> 00:27:58,588 Speaker 5: different than he was last year. Obviously he's got to 668 00:27:58,588 --> 00:28:01,108 Speaker 5: stay healthy, but told he's at several pounds as far 669 00:28:01,108 --> 00:28:03,588 Speaker 5: as strength, he's trying out jiu jitsu, try to stay 670 00:28:03,588 --> 00:28:06,188 Speaker 5: healthy in that back, and you just feel a different 671 00:28:06,228 --> 00:28:09,828 Speaker 5: flow of chemistry. Within year two of Mike mcdango's offense, 672 00:28:10,108 --> 00:28:12,068 Speaker 5: I think this offense once again is going to be 673 00:28:12,068 --> 00:28:13,948 Speaker 5: one of the best in football, and Two is going 674 00:28:13,988 --> 00:28:14,628 Speaker 5: to be a big reason. 675 00:28:14,628 --> 00:28:15,348 Speaker 3: Why are they. 676 00:28:15,188 --> 00:28:17,668 Speaker 4: Being careful with him given some of the concussion issues 677 00:28:17,708 --> 00:28:20,268 Speaker 4: last year? In other words, are they approaching him differently 678 00:28:20,548 --> 00:28:23,548 Speaker 4: in camp or doing things to protect him being mindful 679 00:28:23,588 --> 00:28:23,828 Speaker 4: of that? 680 00:28:24,028 --> 00:28:24,228 Speaker 6: Yeah. 681 00:28:24,268 --> 00:28:26,228 Speaker 5: I think one thing I noticed in camp was there's 682 00:28:26,228 --> 00:28:29,468 Speaker 5: a lot quicker drops already, a quick the ball. Yeah, 683 00:28:30,228 --> 00:28:32,908 Speaker 5: it's two to three steps, you're finding windows. That's one 684 00:28:32,908 --> 00:28:35,388 Speaker 5: thing that's interesting watching Mike mcdaie's offense. A lot of 685 00:28:35,388 --> 00:28:37,628 Speaker 5: times Two is thrown to a window before the receiver 686 00:28:37,908 --> 00:28:40,268 Speaker 5: even makes a break. So I think there's more conscious 687 00:28:40,308 --> 00:28:42,468 Speaker 5: effort there. A lot of times when Two has got hurt, 688 00:28:42,588 --> 00:28:45,508 Speaker 5: it's when he's trying to scramble around too too much 689 00:28:45,588 --> 00:28:48,228 Speaker 5: and make a play. Stay within the offense, make the 690 00:28:48,268 --> 00:28:50,428 Speaker 5: throw you need to throw and get rid of the ball. 691 00:28:50,468 --> 00:28:52,868 Speaker 5: Another thing that will help toront Armstead miss some time 692 00:28:53,228 --> 00:28:55,708 Speaker 5: later in the season, especially when Tua got hurt. If 693 00:28:55,708 --> 00:28:58,428 Speaker 5: that offensive line and that's a big question. The offensive 694 00:28:58,468 --> 00:29:01,228 Speaker 5: line can keep to a upright that'll help him a 695 00:29:01,268 --> 00:29:03,308 Speaker 5: lot too. So yeah, I do think you'll see the 696 00:29:03,348 --> 00:29:05,628 Speaker 5: ball out a little bit quick for two of the season. 697 00:29:05,668 --> 00:29:07,348 Speaker 5: They're going to run the ball a little bit more 698 00:29:07,388 --> 00:29:10,068 Speaker 5: for him to help him in that respect too. But again, 699 00:29:10,228 --> 00:29:12,548 Speaker 5: when he's on the field, this dude is dangerous. I 700 00:29:12,548 --> 00:29:15,268 Speaker 5: think he changed his perspective of how defenses to defend 701 00:29:15,348 --> 00:29:18,068 Speaker 5: him based on how you played last year in the scheme. Grady, 702 00:29:18,308 --> 00:29:19,708 Speaker 5: I want to ask you this about Too because you 703 00:29:19,748 --> 00:29:21,828 Speaker 5: played him, you played them in joint practice a couple 704 00:29:21,868 --> 00:29:23,628 Speaker 5: of years ago, you got guys will play him again 705 00:29:23,708 --> 00:29:24,188 Speaker 5: this year? 706 00:29:24,468 --> 00:29:26,708 Speaker 6: What was your perspective of Too in this offense? 707 00:29:27,068 --> 00:29:29,028 Speaker 8: Like you said, when he on the field a different team, 708 00:29:29,068 --> 00:29:31,148 Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying. So his special player. He 709 00:29:31,228 --> 00:29:32,908 Speaker 8: drafted way he was for a reason, and then they 710 00:29:32,948 --> 00:29:34,268 Speaker 8: believe in him like you do for reasons. 711 00:29:34,268 --> 00:29:35,188 Speaker 2: You got to take care of himself. 712 00:29:35,188 --> 00:29:37,468 Speaker 8: You know, the guy's got to protect him because you know, 713 00:29:37,668 --> 00:29:39,228 Speaker 8: especially as a defensive line, of our job is to 714 00:29:39,268 --> 00:29:41,348 Speaker 8: get to the quarterback, you know, and nobody gets to 715 00:29:41,348 --> 00:29:43,548 Speaker 8: the quarterback and try to hurt him over anything like that. 716 00:29:43,628 --> 00:29:44,948 Speaker 8: But as part of the game. You know, so as 717 00:29:44,988 --> 00:29:46,908 Speaker 8: long as he stay healthy, and he could take them 718 00:29:46,908 --> 00:29:48,268 Speaker 8: as far as they need to go. As you can 719 00:29:48,308 --> 00:29:49,668 Speaker 8: see his I mean like you say, you got two 720 00:29:49,708 --> 00:29:52,508 Speaker 8: receivers as in top seven recessions. I mean you're getting 721 00:29:52,508 --> 00:29:54,948 Speaker 8: the ball there, you know saying so uh he I 722 00:29:54,948 --> 00:29:56,908 Speaker 8: mean he do what he needs to do and thank 723 00:29:56,908 --> 00:29:57,988 Speaker 8: you all the things. 724 00:29:58,028 --> 00:29:58,668 Speaker 6: Just staying healthy. 725 00:29:58,828 --> 00:30:01,708 Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking well, I was gonna say, interesting year last 726 00:30:01,748 --> 00:30:05,508 Speaker 4: year for your quarterback realm obviously seeing Mark Mariota not there, 727 00:30:05,548 --> 00:30:06,748 Speaker 4: We've gotten Desben Ritter. 728 00:30:07,228 --> 00:30:09,148 Speaker 3: When you look at his tape, what stands out about him? 729 00:30:09,148 --> 00:30:10,428 Speaker 2: Well, Grady can speak to this. 730 00:30:10,868 --> 00:30:13,028 Speaker 7: He came in as a rookie last year and he's 731 00:30:13,068 --> 00:30:15,388 Speaker 7: a guy that played so many collegiate football games. 732 00:30:15,428 --> 00:30:16,028 Speaker 6: He's a leader. 733 00:30:16,148 --> 00:30:17,908 Speaker 7: You could tell when he steps into the locker room 734 00:30:17,908 --> 00:30:20,588 Speaker 7: and Arthur Smith said one thing to him, don't put 735 00:30:20,628 --> 00:30:22,468 Speaker 7: us in a bad position, don't turn it over. 736 00:30:22,588 --> 00:30:23,708 Speaker 2: And it's exactly what he did. 737 00:30:23,828 --> 00:30:27,068 Speaker 7: When you have the kind of talent in Drake London, 738 00:30:27,788 --> 00:30:30,268 Speaker 7: how Pitts, and now you add Bjon Robinson to the mix, 739 00:30:30,348 --> 00:30:34,868 Speaker 7: this team could be very competitive offensively because he doesn't 740 00:30:34,988 --> 00:30:37,508 Speaker 7: turn the football over, which allows a great. 741 00:30:37,268 --> 00:30:40,268 Speaker 2: Defense led by this guy absolutely to really make a connection. 742 00:30:40,348 --> 00:30:43,228 Speaker 7: What was your thoughts on the rookie quarterback and how 743 00:30:43,268 --> 00:30:46,628 Speaker 7: he effectively gave you guys more chances down the stretch last. 744 00:30:46,508 --> 00:30:48,828 Speaker 8: Yeah, man, what he came in, didn't flinch when we 745 00:30:48,828 --> 00:30:50,788 Speaker 8: need him too, came and won some games for us. 746 00:30:50,828 --> 00:30:53,948 Speaker 8: But I'm super excited for him to get this opportunity 747 00:30:54,028 --> 00:30:55,868 Speaker 8: to be the leader, you know, to have the keys 748 00:30:55,868 --> 00:30:57,748 Speaker 8: passed to him because he ready for it. Like you said, 749 00:30:57,748 --> 00:30:59,948 Speaker 8: he'd been nothing but a winner his whole college career 750 00:31:00,028 --> 00:31:01,948 Speaker 8: and as a pro we see that continue to go. 751 00:31:02,068 --> 00:31:04,388 Speaker 8: But like I say, leadership skills, well, also the physical 752 00:31:04,548 --> 00:31:06,428 Speaker 8: skills that he has. I mean, as he's gotten bigger 753 00:31:06,508 --> 00:31:09,348 Speaker 8: this offseason. As a runner, he's athletic, and then as 754 00:31:09,388 --> 00:31:11,348 Speaker 8: a pastor, he can get the ball anywhere on the field. 755 00:31:11,348 --> 00:31:13,508 Speaker 8: So we got the weapons around him to be able 756 00:31:13,508 --> 00:31:15,308 Speaker 8: to do his things. So I'm excited to see him. 757 00:31:15,348 --> 00:31:17,548 Speaker 7: I want to ask you about this, how important was 758 00:31:17,588 --> 00:31:20,388 Speaker 7: it that you got somebody in there like Taylor Heinike 759 00:31:20,508 --> 00:31:22,348 Speaker 7: though you know, he's just a guy who has some 760 00:31:22,428 --> 00:31:26,468 Speaker 7: experience understanding who maybe can mentor a young quarterback, but 761 00:31:26,548 --> 00:31:29,548 Speaker 7: also you know, as a veteran if anything goes down, 762 00:31:29,868 --> 00:31:31,108 Speaker 7: you've got a guy who can step in with. 763 00:31:31,468 --> 00:31:31,948 Speaker 6: Without a doubt. 764 00:31:31,988 --> 00:31:34,388 Speaker 8: Man, Heinekey a baller, you know he unfortunately for us, 765 00:31:34,468 --> 00:31:36,268 Speaker 8: he beat us twice, you know what I'm saying. So, 766 00:31:37,028 --> 00:31:39,228 Speaker 8: I mean it's good for our team to have him 767 00:31:39,228 --> 00:31:41,188 Speaker 8: as a backup, and it's good for Daz to have 768 00:31:41,308 --> 00:31:43,628 Speaker 8: somebody to help him, you know, become a better pro 769 00:31:43,748 --> 00:31:45,188 Speaker 8: and to take a little pressure off too, you know 770 00:31:45,228 --> 00:31:47,628 Speaker 8: what I'm saying. So somebody that's been in the fire, 771 00:31:47,708 --> 00:31:49,908 Speaker 8: being put in super hard situations, that's been to the 772 00:31:49,948 --> 00:31:52,268 Speaker 8: playoffs as a starting quarterback, to have them on your 773 00:31:52,308 --> 00:31:54,468 Speaker 8: team is definitely a comfort for everybody as well. And 774 00:31:54,908 --> 00:31:57,868 Speaker 8: the competition, you know what I'm saying. Competition bring out 775 00:31:57,908 --> 00:31:58,708 Speaker 8: the best in all of us. 776 00:31:58,748 --> 00:32:00,308 Speaker 5: So Dez is obviously going to be a starter here 777 00:32:00,668 --> 00:32:02,668 Speaker 5: this year. And I spent some time in Atlanta. Arthur 778 00:32:02,708 --> 00:32:05,868 Speaker 5: Smith loves Deaz's rudder. They drafted him knowing what he 779 00:32:05,868 --> 00:32:08,348 Speaker 5: did in Cincinnati. He raised about his toughness. He said, 780 00:32:08,628 --> 00:32:11,068 Speaker 5: this dude in the fourth quarter. We know that he 781 00:32:11,148 --> 00:32:12,868 Speaker 5: is not gonna flinch. We know that he's gonna get 782 00:32:12,948 --> 00:32:15,348 Speaker 5: us something. And if you know Arthur Smith, he breeds toughness, 783 00:32:15,348 --> 00:32:18,308 Speaker 5: and so I'm curious if you've already seen that so far. 784 00:32:18,388 --> 00:32:21,428 Speaker 8: And yeah, without without a dope, man, his makeup is right, 785 00:32:21,428 --> 00:32:24,028 Speaker 8: He's true. He true to is what it's all about. 786 00:32:24,028 --> 00:32:25,828 Speaker 8: And as being the leader, being a stand up dude, 787 00:32:26,148 --> 00:32:28,108 Speaker 8: and the player is gonna take care of herself. And 788 00:32:28,108 --> 00:32:29,708 Speaker 8: I'll think he's going to shock a lot of people. 789 00:32:29,868 --> 00:32:32,148 Speaker 3: Is his tame Call'll be honest everyone. 790 00:32:32,148 --> 00:32:34,908 Speaker 4: I was operating on an hour of sleep after flight delays. 791 00:32:34,948 --> 00:32:36,708 Speaker 3: We had never worked together. I was a little nervous 792 00:32:36,748 --> 00:32:38,548 Speaker 3: about how today's show was gonna go, but we had 793 00:32:38,588 --> 00:32:39,508 Speaker 3: plenty to talk about. 794 00:32:39,668 --> 00:32:42,268 Speaker 4: Was a lot of fun, and you at one point, 795 00:32:42,308 --> 00:32:45,348 Speaker 4: we're still stuck in the baseball world. Spent a lot 796 00:32:45,388 --> 00:32:47,388 Speaker 4: of time at the ballpark this weekend. Tell me a 797 00:32:47,388 --> 00:32:49,308 Speaker 4: little bit about this, Ryan, Oh. 798 00:32:49,228 --> 00:32:51,988 Speaker 7: This was pretty amazing. I grew up in Montana.

I was gonna play for 802 00:32:57,948 --> 00:32:58,228 Speaker 2: the Cubs. 803 00:32:58,228 --> 00:33:00,988 Speaker 7: We're gonna turn two and then I didn't realize that 804 00:33:01,028 --> 00:33:04,028 Speaker 7: they would go on a crazy losing streak from my 805 00:33:04,068 --> 00:33:06,548 Speaker 7: whole life. But then twenty sixteen happened, and I didn't 806 00:33:06,548 --> 00:33:08,068 Speaker 7: get to enjoy a minute of it because I assumed 807 00:33:08,068 --> 00:33:09,348 Speaker 7: they were just going to blow it and they so 808 00:33:09,428 --> 00:33:12,788 Speaker 7: I needed them to do it again.
