Speaker 1: sleeps the way right here to get our last looks

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: at Justin Fields, Trevor Lawrence, Trey Lance before the regular

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: season kicks off. It's a big party here at the

Speaker 1: breakfast table. Another full slate of preseason action on NFL

00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: there in the sidelines. I can't wait. Then a triple

00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: header Saturday. Wow, a triple header Sunday as well, six

Speaker 1: NFL Network, where we'll be playing all that action all

Speaker 1: weekend long. Hey, come on then too, Good Morning Football.

13
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: It's time for leave luck. Let's do it. Despite leaving

14
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: his team to the playoffs every year he's been in

15
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: the NFL and being named the NVP just two seasons ago,

16
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson still has plenty of doubters. Take Lissen on

17
00:00:47,800 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: this exchange. This happened just yesterday, well before. Wait, what

18
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: would your reaction be? I didn't hear. I'm gonna keep

19
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: playing football. We're gonna see, but I doubt it. Dude,

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: I doubt it. I strongly doubt it. You're gonna play

21
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: ballow figuring out Lamar Jackson is going to be pretty tough.

22
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 1: The Ravens have ring first and points per game, rushing

23
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: yards games since Lamartik Ober as a starter. That was

24
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: back in twenty eighteen. Now it is twenty twenty one.

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: So much as James in the world the world of

26
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: the NFL, well, this Ravens offense have the same success

27
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: this season that we've seen most definitely, most definitely for sure.

28
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: It seems like yesterday when Joe Flacker was the starting

29
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: quarterback and we were sitting here saying that the Ravens

30
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: have this young QB and Lamar Jackson and we're not

31
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: sure what type of quarterback he's going to be, and

32
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: then he takes over. But let's take it back to

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen when he was the starter. He was an

34
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: absolute beast and he hasn't let up since. And I've

35
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: said this year in a year out, I truly believe

36
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: that he's just now stets they're gonna be successful. So

37
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm tired of the narrative that, you know, he needs

38
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: to be a better passer in this offense. It really

39
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: need more tight ends and more wide receivers. They have

40
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: to go deep now, what they don't have to Teams

41
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: that can do what they do best, which is run

42
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: the ball will always be successful in the regular season,

43
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: but more importantly in the postseason. And the main reason

44
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: I believe this offense is gonna be as dominant because

45
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's gonna rush for another thousand yards. He is

46
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: the first quarterback to have multiple thousand yards seasons and

47
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: he is not going to give up on that superpower

48
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: that he has on the field. So for me, coming

49
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: in grabbing a twelve hundred yards thirteen hundred yards this season,

50
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: being in the top ten as a rusher, not just

51
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: a great passer in this league, this is going to

52
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: be Lamar Jackson strength. For a long time in the NBA,

53
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: we saw Vince Carter dunk on guys and then towards

54
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: the end of his career he started working back to

55
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: the basket mid range and shooting threes, but that took

56
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: a long time. We saw Vince dunk on dudes for

57
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: a while. We're gonna see Lamar Jackson run pass defenses

58
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: for the next five years because speed, it doesn't go away.

59
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: Just like that. I hope. So the last time we

60
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: saw the team that score three points three points and

61
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: they got blown out in a playoff game, I hope

62
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: they don't have the same success. Same success is not enough.

63
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: I don't want them to have the same anything. The

64
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: problem with the Ravens they have is that if in

65
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: Lamar's career, we're showing all these numbers, Lamar has one

66
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,839
Speaker 1: game where he has a double digit come back where

67
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: the Ravens got behind and Lamar said, let's go when

68
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 1: we get him. And the only time he's ever done

69
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: that was his very last win. They got down ten

70
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: points to the Titans in the playoffs and Lamar ran

71
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: like a vapor trail through the middle of the field

72
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: and they wanted they come back. He's the one time

73
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: he's done that. Mahomes has done five times. Momes has

74
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: done it three times in the playoffs. I just think

75
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: the running thing is great until you get behind, until

76
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: the plan doesn't go like it is, until oh my god,

77
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: they're stopping us. Because here's the thing about this Ravens offense.

78
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: It's awesome. It's fun to watch and highlights, it is

79
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: fun to talk about. It can be almost anybody on

80
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: almost any day. But that's not good enough. That's good

81
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: enough to get the division round, to get to the

82
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: title round. This is a super bowler bus team. There's

83
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: eight or nine of them. Are you gonna show anything.

84
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: It's like, I feel like they are really good. If

85
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: they were in the octagon, they're great and stand up,

86
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: but their ground game, ironically, it's just they can get

87
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: tapped out, you know, like they need to adapt and Nate,

88
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: you're making an Vince Carter thing and the Michael Jordan thing.

89
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: Thirty second ranked passing offense the worst. Can you give

90
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: me twenty fourth? I don't need twelfth, I don't need ninth.

91
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: You spent a sweet, precious first round pick on a

92
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I don't want to see the same movie again.

93
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to see another fast near Furious. They

94
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: crashed the car. We get it in the end. They

95
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: it's all family, like we need something new because they

96
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: haven't won anything. They haven't won anything. You have an

97
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: MVP trophy and some wins and you finally got a

98
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: playoff win, same anything. If can they just march out

99
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: that same offense Peter and win a super Bowl? To

100
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: quote lamar I, doubt it, dude. I doted, dude. I

101
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: like the dude part, and Lamar kind of like was like,

102
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: all right, no, I haven't heard that, but I doubt it, dude,

103
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: And I appreciate that. But the NFL is like trends

104
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: and what happens a lot of times as you see

105
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: something for a season, defensive coordinators get in the lab

106
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: and they spend all summer and then by week one

107
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, they've solved what we do. And we

108
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: saw it with the Wildcat, we saw it with what

109
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: Robert Griffin used to do. It's not the case with

110
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Like Lamar twenty eighteen comes in and takes

111
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: his team on this crazy run to the playoffs. Everyone

112
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: thought twenty nineteen, Quan would be like, all right, we

113
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: solved it, like we'd spend he does and has an

114
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: MVP season. And a lot of it is because they

115
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: know what they do and they do it well and

116
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: they're not trying to hide it. They're very deliberate with

117
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: what they are. They know that you know what they are,

118
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: and it's kind of cool that they look at you

119
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: in the face and said, yeah, we're well aware we're

120
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: gonna smack the snot this is what we do. You

121
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: have to stop us. And for two years teams haven't.

122
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: Is this the year that the other shoe drops, This

123
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: the year that to take a step backwards, that Lamar

124
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: suddenly needs to become a better passer. No, maybe it

125
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: maybe is, but it would It would take a massive

126
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: drop off for this team to suddenly not be able

127
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: to block like they have been and for Lamar not

128
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: suddenly run like it like Ronnie Stanley's health matters, or

129
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: Landa Brown not being there matters. But at the end

130
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: of the day, Lamar's gonna get his rushing yards, Dobbins

131
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: is gonna get his rushing yards, and you're gonna get

132
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: Riccard and Boil and Ben Mason smashing faces. That's what

133
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: they do. And I don't think it's going to drop

134
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: off at all, But should it change, should try to

135
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: get better? I think it's the book. There's a there's

136
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: a weird like growth definition of insanity thing like, yeah,

137
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: they are who they are. It's very cool. They're in

138
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: your face. We're not. I don't have any tricks, but

139
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: like you need those tricks. You're having a more balanced

140
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: attack helps the run game be harder to defend because

141
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: there's other stuff going on out there. You said the

142
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: other day, Peter, they might have they might break their

143
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: own record for a single season rushing with Lamar and Jake.

144
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to see that happen. I want, like,

145
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: get the passing game going, make it happen. So to

146
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: your point, I know it's not going to drop off,

147
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: but it's everything you're saying in that full screen and

148
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: those fullbacks going to make them better? Is it going

149
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: to get them where they need to go. I think

150
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,239
Speaker 1: it's the best utilization of Lamar's skills. And that's nothing Lamar,

151
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: But I think when you have this guy like to

152
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: suddenly say, okay, we have to be balanced because at

153
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: some point, I think at this point, this is what

154
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: the offense is though. That's Look, there is an absolute

155
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: argument we made saying you did draft a wide receiver

156
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: in the first round like trying and yeah, and you

157
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: could say, hey, you did spend money on Sammy Walkin,

158
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: So you can't tell me that you're just gonna run

159
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: the ball. You have to throw the ball. I think

160
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, that's what they are though,

161
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: and they've built their entire roster around it. With all

162
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: those fullbacks and tight ends, and no one else was

163
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: drafting Ben Mason or they drafted him, but they're like,

164
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: he works in our offense. He's a raven. That's what

165
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: it is. So okay, it's a great point. Look at

166
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: the end of the day, they scored three points in

167
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: the playoff game and at some point Lamar is gonna

168
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: have to make a big pass and he did last

169
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: year in the Money Night game, and he did against

170
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: the Titans at one point in the playoff game. But

171
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: this is not like every other offense. They are a unicorn.

172
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: They run their own thing and it is smash Mount

173
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: and it it works great. Number One of my concern is, Okay,

174
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: they went twelve and five and they lost individual round

175
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: like that. This team, the expectations are higher twelve and five,

176
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: any of it. It's fine. It's just like the three teams, okay,

177
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: in the playoffs that we in the AFC that we

178
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: all really like. I think Kansas City, Buffalo and Tennessee.

179
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: Those are the last two teams that knocked them out,

180
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs tuned them up. Every single time they

181
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: got down fourteen to the Bills. There was zero chance

182
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: they were coming back there was no chance that was

183
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: ever gonna have my home's gonna down fourteen. He's like,

184
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: no big deal, it's fine, I got this. I just

185
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: worry you get behind in one playoff game after you

186
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: ripped off thirteen wins in the regular season. It's like, well,

187
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: let's just run it with our tight ends, and well

188
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,119
Speaker 1: we can't. It's over and it's fair. We need some lightning.

189
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: It's a fair point. You know, what's the third and

190
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: twelve factor with Lamar Lamar's passing because I can't. I

191
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: can't say that Lamar is gonna come out there and

192
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: light up the skies if he has to. That's just

193
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: not what he is. Thirty second, well, I don't need

194
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: to defend Lamar's passing arm because he's a good passer.

195
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: He's certainly not I don't ask him, well, they don't

196
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: ask him to pass the ball. So, just like we're

197
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: talking about Baker Mayfield and the Browns, we keep bringing

198
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: up his his touchdown to interception ratio. He has Nick

199
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: Chubb in Kareem Hunt in the backfield, so we can't

200
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: compare him to Patrick Mahomes or even Josh Allen. But

201
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is if he has the same punch. Okay,

202
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: he doesn't need to have combinate need to add combinations

203
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: if he's increasing his punching power. So if they're adding elements,

204
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: that's gonna make this run game even stronger and defense

205
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: can't handle it. We'll see what happens the bossing then

206
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. If he's got the arm and he can,

207
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: like why why why wouldn't they want a multidimensional attack.

208
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: It's like what everybody in the NFL wants. And then

209
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: there's strengths. Obviously, his strengths is what they do in Bolster.

210
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: Why can't they get the pass game going if he

211
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: can do it. I just feel like they go into

212
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: each game knowing that they won them run the ball, yeah,

213
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: and then when they face a team that has their

214
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: game plan set on stopping the run, they have a

215
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: tough time adjusting. The coaches have to do a better time,

216
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: a better job adjusting. In the postseason, I would argue

217
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: all that running the ball all it is. That's why

218
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: they never down by double digits, like they just control

219
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: for sure. It's a good problem. That's their strategy. So

220
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: you're not going to fall behind twenty one points if

221
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: you're holding if you've got a huge time possession. But

222
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: what happens if you do that's you know what I'm saying.

223
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: They actually playoffs are brutal. You gotta get over that

224
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: hump and passing games. Probably the way to do it,

225
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: justin fields is coach to make direct decisions this season,

226
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: which quarterback is right for the Bears. We'll talk about

227
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: that next right here on Good Morning Football. That was

228
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: always looking at that waiver wire, who might be better

229
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: than our last five or six And uh, that's every

230
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: single year. I should always tell them, don't celebrate after

231
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 1: the first day of cuts because somebody might still get

232
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: your job, and uh, don't go buy a house. That's

233
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: for them. I'm sure you might want to stick around

234
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks first, But yeah, that that's

235
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: been the way it's always been. I think if you know,

236
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: the players of a team don't buy into what a

237
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: coach has to say, then that team's not gonna be successful.

238
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: So um man, I pretty much have no choice. Um

239
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: you know that's what I think successful, That's what it's

240
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: gonna come with the most successes me trusting me, and

241
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: you know coach nagee um and he's planning me just

242
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: getting better every day. So that's that's ultimately why I'm

243
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: trusting him, because of course, you know, we all want

244
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: the same thing. We all want to win games. So um,

245
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: there's there's no reason for me not to trusting Can

246
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: we just get him at the podium for like hours

247
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: at a time. Love hearing the young rookie Justin Fields

248
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: out of Chicago talk and address the media and his

249
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: thoughts and his coach, Matt Nagy said that Justin Fields

250
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: is going to start in the preseason finale against the

251
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: Titans again that you can see this Saturday at seven

252
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: pm Eastern right here on NFL Network. What do you

253
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: want to see from Justin Fields against the Titans? Is

254
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: getting a lot of play, which means he will not

255
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: be playing. What I like to see Justin Fields against

256
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: the Titans? You know what I'd like to see it.

257
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: I'd like to see a handoff to David Montgomery, a

258
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: handoff and then on the next play, I'd like to

259
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: see play action and to throw to Alan Robbins, and

260
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: I'd like a fade down the left sidelan. I'd like

261
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: to do it behind Cody White here and James Daniels

262
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: are starting guards. But I'm not going to see it

263
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: because Justin Fields is not allowed to play with the

264
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: Bear starters. Hasn't been Tell me what's wrong with this picture?

265
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence first team offense, Justin Fields no now, first

266
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 1: team offense? Whatsoever? Zach Wilson first team offense, Mac Jones

267
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: first team offense, Trey Lance, first team offense. Justin Field's

268
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: not allowed, no snaps, no time out there with the

269
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: first teamers. He's throwing to guys who are going to

270
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: be real estate agents this fall. And why why because

271
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: he's behind Brett Farve or Alex Smith or even Jimmy Garoppolo. No,

272
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: he's not allowed to play with the first team because

273
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: heaven forbid anyone rock the boat that's captained by Andy Dalton,

274
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: who has played as many meaningful snaps for the Chicago

275
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: Bears as Justin Fields has. Make it make sense. You

276
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: can't do it, and I can't believe we're here. It's

277
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: actually happening. Andy Dalton's gonna start the opener. I think

278
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna play the whole thing. It's actually happened. And

279
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: Justin Fields, what do I want him seeing in that

280
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: preseason game? I don't know, protect yourself, duck, and then

281
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: get off the field because there's no starters to protect you.

282
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: And I'm I can't believe it's happening and I can't

283
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: make any sense of it. Yeah, I'm right there with you.

284
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: I want to see him play with the ones. It's

285
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: very simple. Yeah, it's not gonna happen. Yeah, I can't

286
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: ask you to, you know, evaluate justin fields when he's

287
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: playing with twos and threes, and then compare him to

288
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. If Andy Dalton is playing with the ones.

289
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: I want to see him protected by that offensive line

290
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: where he can run around and have time. Let's see

291
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: him throw to the quarterback. I want to see him

292
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: throw to the wide receivers and tight ends that will

293
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: be starters this season. That's the only way at open

294
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: competition works. We see this across the league, a rotation

295
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: of QB's quarterbacks going in and out, Trey Lance rotating

296
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: with Jimmy Garoppolo, Jimmy Garoppolo coming in after Trey Lance again.

297
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: Still Matt Naggie is steadfast on not seeing him play

298
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: with I'm absolutely perplexed on how he can look at

299
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: just the fields and not think that giving him a

300
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: fair opportunity to be a starter makes sense for a squad.

301
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: I fear that if this doesn't go the way that

302
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: the team wants it to go, you can lose the

303
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: locker room before the season even starts. It's happened before.

304
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: This wouldn't be the first time I'm trying to play

305
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 1: Devil's advocate on it, because anything, there's got to be

306
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: another take. Can't just be all of us saying play fields.

307
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: And my only thing is that Andy Dalton might be

308
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: doing better things behind closed doors that we don't see

309
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: every day. And that's the stuff in the room, and

310
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: it's the stuff that we see on the field in

311
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: the practice field that doesn't show up in the preseason game.

312
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: The Heydland has not been good this preseason. He's not

313
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: been terrible, but it's been three and out, three out,

314
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: three and out, turnover and downs, interception, one touchdown on

315
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: an amazing catch by young man last week. Fields has

316
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: been really good. The Fields might not have it all

317
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: up there yet. As far as playbook goes, and as

318
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: far as our best chance to win in Week one

319
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: and as far as hey, we're gonna lead a team

320
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: eat to Los Angeles and try to beat the Rams.

321
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm not there at practice. It's a shame I'm not.

322
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: But I can't tell you that it's been anything out

323
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: of Chicago where the players are coming out of the

324
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: press comers like, oh my god, Justin Fields is blowing

325
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: out and he don't know what's going on. Is mutiney

326
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: going on? I have to think that the coaching staff

327
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: wants to win games also, and they want to do

328
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: what's best for the team, and that they don't think

329
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: Justin Fields is just ready yet. He's gonna be good. Yeah,

330
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: very positive. You see the way he plays and speaks.

331
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: He's an unbelievable ambassador of the sport based on what

332
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: we know of him. But maybe it's just not now.

333
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: Maybe Dalton gives them better chance to win, and maybe

334
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: Dalton's more ready to play in week one than Justin Fields.

335
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: And if they get wins over the Rams week one,

336
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: week two, week three, and then Andy Dalton gives the

337
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: job away, Justin Fields comes in, takes over and crushes

338
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: it for the next five years for Chicago, We'll I'll

339
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: be like, all right Nowagie, we saw what you were doing.

340
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: If he comes out and performs well, him not starting

341
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: with the ones are not getting any time with the

342
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: your faces. So it's so Chicago, all right, dear a bit.

343
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: Do you have faith at Naggie? I guess to me,

344
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: it's like the better fields plays in this third preseason game,

345
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: the shorter the leash is for Andy Dalton, and I

346
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: would like to give that sort of confidence behind Matt

347
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: Naggie that yes, he was steadfast in his principles. I

348
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: don't think he was out there with the runs like

349
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,239
Speaker 1: Trey Lance and everybody because it wasn't an open competition.

350
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: It never was. They came out and said Andy Dalton's

351
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: QB one. They made that decision a long time ago.

352
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: We've been along for the ride trying to make it

353
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: a competition. Since Do you have faith that Matt Naggie,

354
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: if Andy Dalton fails, if he falters, that he will

355
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: make the change at the appropriate time. Are you worried

356
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: that it's like Andy Dalton for the first seven weeks.

357
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: I don't talk to me about it. No, I think

358
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: I Look, if they come out and lose the opener

359
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: and lose the second one, yeah, I think I do

360
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: have faith in that early in the season, Yeah, I

361
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: think so, It's just I have no doubt that Andy

362
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: Dalton is a total pro in the meetings and the practice,

363
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: and I think that's reflected in a lot of what

364
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: Justin Fields is about him, all this pressing up and

365
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: he loves him. It's like it's a funny thing in

366
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: this game. You have to play well in the games.

367
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: And we saw this was Turbisky, great teammate, great hard work, ethic,

368
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: did everything right in the community, checks every box. And

369
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: then there's this little box in the end where you

370
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: have to play well on Sunday, and that really trumps

371
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: all the other stupid cock and made me little boxes.

372
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: So I'm there's theories now about why is nagg He's

373
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: so insistent and like people are saying, well, maybe when

374
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: they signed Dalton they sat down and had a conversation.

375
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: Matt Naggie said to him, you're gonna be the guy.

376
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: We may do some things here in the draft, but

377
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: you will be our starter. And now he doesn't want

378
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: to renege on that, and he feels like he owes

379
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: him as a man. But I mean, Jesus, you gotta

380
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: play well. I don't care about that theory. Andy was

381
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: replaced by by Ryan Finley in the middle of the

382
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: season and was like, what's going on at Cincinnati? Right?

383
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton knows the game. You can't, you can't coach.

384
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: You can't as a coach put the entire team and

385
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: your organization and a billion dollar business on the line

386
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: and say, well, I give my word. Like that can't

387
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: be the reason. What's the better theory? Though? Better thing

388
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: I don't have is that he gives him a better

389
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: chance to win out of the gates based on what

390
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 1: he's showing in practice practice and where Justin Fields might

391
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: be at haven't. We don't know. We don't know how

392
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: much of the playbook Justin Fields actually has a grasp.

393
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: He hasn't played with the ones, so that's fair to

394
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: you to say that. But maybe they believe that he's

395
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: not there just yet. Why does trade lance It gets

396
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: to play with the ones and mac Jones gets play

397
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: with the ones with Fields? No, do not, You're not allowed.

398
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: What is that? That'd be a good trade situation going

399
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: on across the NFL world, the Patriots trading Sony Michelle

400
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: to the Rams for two draft picks. A source says,

401
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: long anticipated trade that fills a big need in LA

402
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: a lot oftogram. We don't need a batter in running

403
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: back out there to lose cam Acres to a rupt

404
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: shirt achilles for the entire season. He's about five weeks

405
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: removed from suffering at injury. I thought he was the

406
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: best rusher in the NFC West Triggs, and now we

407
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: have a veteran Sony Michelle who maybe we'll find some

408
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: new blood behind a good offensive line. Quick note here

409
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: Darryl Henderson banged up his thumb in practice. And also

410
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: the Rams running back which is a guy named Thomas

411
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: Brown who is a UGA legend at running back. Cool

412
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: guess where Sony Michell went to school. He wants to

413
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 1: play for him, Sony. This has been whispered for a

414
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: couple of weeks now that they've got this loaded backfield

415
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: and Sony might want to have a new start, so

416
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: they give him that opportunity. The Patriots tramp for the Rams.

417
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: It's a good fit for both teams. Yeah, and he's

418
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: had some moments right catching out of the backfield. We

419
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: know that Sean McVay likes those versa little running backs

420
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: that's used in the screen game. And I feel like

421
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: he's going to have a first start out there, and

422
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: they need him, you know. I love the fact that

423
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: Sean McVay and the Rams had a knee. It went

424
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: out there. They sought after the trade. The Patriots, who

425
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: have fifteen running backs, like, yeah, we got one one

426
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: you can take. Yeah, and his name is not Romandre Stevenson.

427
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: You can't have him. He's been great in the preseason.

428
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure that has some ripple effect on this. Another

429
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: first round pick for the Patriots that went away and

430
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: didn't work out. They're weird with that stuff. He's taken

431
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: thirty first overall. Buy the Patriots. That was back in

432
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. So this doesn't happen without our guy Romandre

433
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns for two games, even a guy ye

434
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: let us now you feel all right, we're all buzzing

435
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,719
Speaker 1: here in students. You do not know it is our

436
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: brother and Nate Burlison's last week in this exact fashion

437
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: on the show. So we are breaking out all of

438
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: these surprised guests. You never know who's gonna drop by,

439
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: and we have one right now that we're very excited about.

440
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: The most important thing about this gentleman is that he

441
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: played two years with Nate Burlison is the only person

442
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: ever called Nate Burleson Nate Dummison. He's also of the

443
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: greatest athletes in any sport ever in the history of mankind,

444
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. Randy, Hey, good morning, Good morning y'all.

445
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: What's happening with you? That's going on? What's up, Moss?

446
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Bro? Bro? I had to surprise you, Bro,

447
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: watch you mostly every morning. Good morning shriek and the team.

448
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: But man, you've done it. You've done a hell of

449
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: a job. And I know you're moving on him, man,

450
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to just come on before you

451
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: leave up out of here, man, to just show you,

452
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: just show you some love. I appreciate that, man, it

453
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: means a lot. Randy. Let's get into this. So two

454
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: thousand and three, you're with the Vikings. Of course, the

455
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: team drafts this skinny little wide receiver out of Nevada

456
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: third round pick, but he joins you and Dante to

457
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: form one of the best aerial attacks in the league.

458
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: Before we get into it, Randy, here's a look back

459
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: at some moments that you and our brother Nate shared

460
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: on the sidelines. Well, Deepense, you gotta come, do we

461
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: get the ball? I don't even man, That's what I do. Man,

462
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm we're gonna get you that rock. No I okay,

463
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: any team, Okay, I want to play the Minnesota Bike

464
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: He's one on one. Okay, if we will in Joe

465
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: Kane quit. Okay, remember that, Randy, we're laughing. You're laughing.

466
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: Comes to mind when you look at the stuff and

467
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: you think about playing with Nate. I just remember this,

468
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: Nate just coming in, and I think that myself and

469
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: the Viking fans were just wondering where the help was

470
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: going to come from in the passing game. And I

471
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: know that Nate had a hell of a career. He

472
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: did disappoint and you know, we had our expectations for

473
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: us as you see all the trash talking between myself,

474
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 1: Kelly Campbell, and Nate himself. So we had a lot

475
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: of fun and just being able to just bring energy

476
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: to the game, bring energy to practice. We had a

477
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: lot of fun. Man. So that just being able to,

478
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, see Nate transition over to an analyst and

479
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 1: him seeing me transition over to analyst is just what

480
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 1: makes times like that so special. Randy, I'll do anything

481
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: to be on that bench with Kelly Campbell, you and

482
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: Dave Burliston and being that wide receiver's room. What a

483
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,959
Speaker 1: group throwing Matthew Hatchett and the rest. You guys had

484
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: a really cool crew out there. Love seeing you on

485
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: our show. It's cool taking the time away from ESPN

486
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: to join NFL Network for a moment. And we saw

487
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: that game, that wild card win in lambell He guys

488
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: were the second team in the history of lambeau Field

489
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: to go in there and win a game in that postseason.

490
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: You had two touchdowns in that game. Nate scored a touchdown. Randy,

491
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: I want to start with you talk about that when

492
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: and what that meant for your organization and your locker

493
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: room when you guys went into lambau Field and beat

494
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: Brett Favre and the and the Packers in that huge,

495
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: huge battle. Well, just like I said, I just just

496
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: remember just the game and this the importance. And you're

497
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: seeing Nate right here being able to stiff arm a

498
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: guy and getting up that left side line right there,

499
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: and just remember the performance that he had and just

500
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: going back in the locker room and just having his

501
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: yards after the catches. It's one of the things that

502
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: really stands out to me. And as you can see

503
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: his touchdown right there over the middle. I think it

504
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: was a skinny post. So, you know, him just being able,

505
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: just him being able to just be a part of

506
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: the Vikings and for us to be able to team up.

507
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: Like I said, I really had some uncertainty because when

508
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: you're talking about guys like Hatchet and Jake Reid and

509
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Chris Carter leaving the team is kind

510
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: of like, well, I know I'm getting doubled in triple coverage,

511
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: but where's the help want to come from? So, like

512
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: you said, a third round pick out of Nevadorino. You know,

513
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: Nate Burlson came in to start high stepping and we

514
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: had a lot of fun. Man. That's why, like I say,

515
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: just seeing us just transitioning over to a another part

516
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: of our life and knowing that he's moving on up there,

517
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: and Nate, don't forget the little people with when you

518
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: get up there, you know. So. But but like I said, man,

519
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: it's just all it's all fun, it's all love, and

520
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: like I said, just being able to just look back

521
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 1: at at clips like ed and just saying, you know,

522
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: both of us happily married, loving family, loving wife and kids. Man,

523
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: it's a joy to see. It really is I mean

524
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: two years together, twelve touchdowns for Burulson, including over thousand

525
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: yards receiving. That one was in two thousand and four.

526
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: You're saying all these nice things about him, So I

527
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 1: ask you, Randy, why did you call my buddy here,

528
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: Nate dummy soon? Do you remember calling him this? And

529
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: tell me more about that. Well, I think that dummy

530
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: soon had to come just being a rookie, um. And

531
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: I think just making rookie mistakes, and and I think

532
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,719
Speaker 1: that just for me, um, you hear you hear you know,

533
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: teachers always talk about being in the classroom and studying

534
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: on the board, but I think that, you know, certain

535
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: athletes uh need to be on the field to be

536
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: able to learn. Also, so I think just just us

537
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: getting to know one another, getting to get a better

538
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: understanding of of of of what buttons we can push

539
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: and what what buttons we can't. So dummy soon is

540
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 1: just something that just just hit clicked and we ran

541
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: with it. But uh, you know, I've always I've always

542
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: talked about every time I talked to Ny off cameras,

543
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: always he did this funny impression of some of a

544
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: guy back in Seattle used to call himself Ner you

545
00:24:51,440 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: remember that I got you all on so nerve. So

546
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: like I said, like I said, it was just all

547
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: fun and game. And you know, you you play in

548
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: the National Football League. Man, It's it's not always it's

549
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: not always business like you know twenty four seven. Some

550
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: ways you gotta have fine ways to put humor, put

551
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 1: humor into the game and also have fun. And you know,

552
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: the time that me and Nate spent together was definitely

553
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: something I'll never forget. We love it and we want

554
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: to tap into it. Randy, you're renowned for your recall

555
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: and your storytelling. We're gonna bring up two photos of

556
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: you and Dumbison together and then we're gonna I want

557
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: you to guess what he was saying to you at

558
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: the time, or if you remember what you were actually

559
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: talking about, share it with us. Here's photo number one,

560
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: or you can make it up whatever you want. Photo

561
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: number one of Moss and burrows And what comes to

562
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: my Randy Uh? That that clip right, there's probably something laughing.

563
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: I just told you about being able to put some

564
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: humor into the game. So I was probably either laughing

565
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,959
Speaker 1: at something. Our coach, Charlie baggett Uh probably says something

566
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: crazy or him probably showing something ner nerposh to get

567
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: our day started. All right, ner nerpou is trending worldwide.

568
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: We love it. Picture number two of Moss and Burlison.

569
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: Take this one away, Randy, What comes to mind here?

570
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: Just look like, you know, one of us, one of

571
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: us has scored a touchdown. It looks like we're in Detroit.

572
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,719
Speaker 1: That's what it looks like to me. But it just

573
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 1: looked like one of us to scored a touchdown and

574
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: just you know, just coming and just showing our brother

575
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: brother some love and appreciation. So, like I said, man,

576
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: it was just you know, I had high expectations for

577
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: us any year that I played, and just having a

578
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: guy like Nate coming in where you know, the you know, now,

579
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: these rookies are coming in first round picks and they

580
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: don't even know if they're gonna play or not. And

581
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: they came in as a third round pick and was

582
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: thrown in the fire right away. So, like I said,

583
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: it was just more of some uncertainty and not knowing,

584
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: you know, what we're going to what we were going

585
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: to get in Nate, And like I said, man, we

586
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: hit the ground running from OTA's in training cam. He

587
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: had a hell of a career, made some big plays

588
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: throughout his career, and like I said, just him making

589
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: the transition and moving on up from good morning football

590
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: to a bigger stage man is definitely a blessing, no

591
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: doubt about it. Randy. I appreciate you calling in. It

592
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: really warms my heart. You know, a lot of people

593
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 1: had Randy misunderstood didn't talk much. He would do things

594
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: in the community and didn't want the cameras to show up,

595
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: and the organization would say, Randy, we want to we

596
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: want to send some cameras to see talking to the

597
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: kids or giving backpackers jack and jackets away and say, no,

598
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: I don't do it for all of those reasons. So

599
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: right away I knew that he was a genuine person

600
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: and Randy would be more of a leader and the

601
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: coach to the young players to some of our coaches work.

602
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: So when I share stories about me growing up and maturing,

603
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: always go back to a lot of the things that

604
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: Randy told me. Car rides on our way to an

605
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: autograph session when he was hurt, he bumped into me

606
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: and he said, Hey, you got a few weeks before

607
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 1: I'm back healthy. Get your rocks catches me ball as

608
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: you can, because when I come back, this is my

609
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 1: team of you already remember being on the sideline, of course,

610
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: of course I don't remember being on the sideline and

611
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: seeing Randy and Oakland and I'm playing in Seattle, and

612
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: I wapped him up and he leaned in right before

613
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: the game and he said, um, now at your time,

614
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: you're not playing in my shadow anymore. Go out there

615
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: and prove that you're worth every dollar. These are things

616
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: that only a big brother would say to his little brother,

617
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: pushing him for greatness. And I remember when he was

618
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: induct to the Hall of Fame. I say, congratulations, I

619
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: love you, and you're doing your thing in TV and this, this,

620
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: this is a prime example of me still walking in

621
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: your footsteps. So, Randy, thank you so much. Man. I

622
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: don't think I tell you enough how much you meant

623
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: to me. When people call me a big brother. And

624
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: all these young Wilde receivers that I've mentored over the years,

625
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: that's only because I had guys like you and Marcus

626
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: Robinson to look at and lead me along the way.

627
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: So I appreciate you calling in bro for real, no doubt, Nate.

628
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: They managed the feeling with feeling his mutual man and

629
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: I I definitely wouldn't be a husband if I didn't

630
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: do this. But I want to send a shot out

631
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: and a happy birthday to my lovely wife, miss Lydia

632
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: moss Man. Happy birthday, baby. I know you watched Me

633
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: and Nate and the and the Good Morning showed this morning,

634
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: So baby, enjoy your birthday. Happy birthday. Appreciate you, Randy,

635
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: Randy appreciate man, always always fishing. Hey, I'll be out

636
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: there in a few hours. Shrade, God bless you guys. Man,

637
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: you're the best day, thank you said. With him out

638
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: this week, there's a big opportunity on the table for

639
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: Mac Jones. Well make the most of it with our patriots.

640
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: After this, I do have to say it, Randy, amazing, legend,

641
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: credible that he came on the show. Still know Calvin

642
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: Johnson with five years in you can't get Calvin Johnson

643
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: asked him time and time this is always said yes,

644
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: He's just like, we have to schedule it. And once

645
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: it gets to scheduling, I don't schedule things. So if

646
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: you were to FaceTime in the nine o'clock hour, he'll

647
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: answer yeah. I'll text him and tell him but we

648
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: might as well get him on zoom and have him

649
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: if he'll do I'd love that. See Peter Schrager, Kyle Brant,

650
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: my name is Kadams. At his time for the league,

651
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: Cam Newton absent from Patriots practiced due to a misunderstanding

652
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: of the NFL's COVID nine team protocols for testing away

653
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: from club facilities. He returns to the team on Thursday.

654
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: That's a five day absence. It's only required for for

655
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: unvaccinated players. Bill Belichick was asked about Cam and the

656
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: rest of his quarterback room just yesterday. You learn as

657
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: much virtually that's it's being on the field. Or does

658
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: that put him at a disadvantage not to be out

659
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: here on the field for a couple of days? You know,

660
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: of course we couldn't. If we couldn't gain anything by practicing,

661
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: then why do we practice. The fact he's not here,

662
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: does that change your view of where things stand at

663
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: that position? Will evaluate everything the way we always do,

664
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: based on the information. We have big opportunity for Mac

665
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: Jones this week, I mean everybody at all it is

666
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: Mac gets more reps, Yeah, more opportunities to sort of

667
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: closed the gap. I don't know how big that gap

668
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: even is between Mac Jones and Cam Newtlon. I ask you, Kyle,

669
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: how will Cam's absence impact the Patriots quarterback competition? Question Mark, Yeah,

670
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: maybe that That clip seems like every other Belichick clip

671
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: in the history of time until the very end, and

672
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: we all kind of lit up when we saw it.

673
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: And he doesn't say that normally will evaluate. He says

674
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: it is actually, yeah, it is a big opportunity, which

675
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: is an effusive, gushing answer for Bill Belichick. That means

676
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: that was a concession in his part that yeah, there's

677
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: some stakes here and what's going on, and there should be.

678
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: There's a million ways to go about this. I have

679
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: to say personally, I find it asinine and really frustrating

680
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: that this is happening because Cam Newton is unvaccinated, particularly

681
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: as a player who had COVID last year. And just

682
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: let me take a side the politicize andes, which I'm

683
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: not interested in right now. There's a strategic thing here.

684
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: The rules are the rules that the NFL set down,

685
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: and if you're not vaccinated, you have to comply by

686
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: these rules or you're gonna have issues. And this is

687
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: not the slot receiver or the tight end three. It's

688
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: the QB one who Now it happened, all right, there's

689
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: some time before this season starts, and maybe he'll recover

690
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: and be fine, But like Whosa say, it's not gonna

691
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: hapen again. And I guess I'm very frustrated too, but

692
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: just set the vaccine aside and COVID aside. There's no

693
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: so much good will with Cam Lanley and it's like,

694
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: you know, we joke it's the Camasans. He's back, he's

695
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: the great teammate, Mac and Cheese. It's all smiles and

696
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: like this gets back to the it's always something with Cam,

697
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: Like you can't go six months without Cam doing something

698
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: that makes you pull your hair out or saying something

699
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: that makes you roll your eyes. I'm doing both about

700
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: this And as far as mac Jones come in and

701
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: taking the job. Look, if it happened during game week,

702
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: it's nuclear. There's still a couple of weeks left, so

703
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: maybe not like we sat here after last three season

704
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: games said Cam's closed the book. It's over. Cam starting,

705
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: he looked really good, his arm looked live. It's over.

706
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: Can mac Jones actually come in with a couple of

707
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: good practice days and steal the starting job. I think

708
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: probably not. I'm just so frustrated personally. I know I'm

709
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: all over the map with this take, but like, hell

710
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: are we with this? Well? In factor into Belichick's decisions later,

711
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: like will this impact There's the way it all went

712
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: down and was handled. There's a question about whether you

713
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: can rely on Cam? So yeah, maybe, and like can

714
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: the teammates rely on them all the guys in the

715
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,719
Speaker 1: locker room? Are the fans into this? Do people have

716
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: Cam Newton jerseys in Foxborough? Is there one Patriots fans

717
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: like I'm in on Cam? I'm waining? Or is it

718
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: like I roll get mac Jones out there because it's starting?

719
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: How I'm starting to feel, you know? And Kyle, I'll

720
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: eckye you on what the Patriots preaches accountability. Do your job,

721
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: whether you believe in the vaccine or not, or you

722
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: want to think the vaccine or not. Belichick's top priority

723
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: is likely winning football game. So this is just a

724
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: competitive advantage that if you're available to him for five

725
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: days of practice, it gives you a lot better chance

726
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: and the team a lot better chance. So I think

727
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: he's visibly frustrated. I thought the Patriots sick the high

728
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 1: road with that statement yesterday, saying it was a misunderstanding

729
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: of the COVID test, well as sure it wasn't a

730
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: misunderstanding on the patriot side of things, Like essentially Camp

731
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 1: thought you could take a COVID test offsite on the facility,

732
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: you had to be in the building. And this is

733
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: an example of what it's going to be like this

734
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: season for the unvaccinated players. And Cam Newton, to me,

735
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: fine's not gonna be cut. Maybe he'll lose a job

736
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: to Mac Jones, because I don't know any of that.

737
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 1: But for the guys who are the forty third guy

738
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: on the roster, forty eighth guy on the roster, coaches

739
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: won't have any tolerance for this, say I can't do

740
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: this with you on zoom and so, if anything, it's

741
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: an example of the frustration that Belichick showed right there.

742
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: Imagine you weren't a guy to sure fire make the team.

743
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: That's what you have to be thinking about right now.

744
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: It's happening across the league, and you know, the unvaccinated player,

745
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: based on the rules by the NFL and the NFLPA,

746
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: is at a great disadvantage this season because it's such

747
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 1: a thin wire you don't even have to get COVID,

748
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: you just have to be near someone who have COVID

749
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: and then you have to miss five days because of

750
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: the close contacts and the way the protocols are not

751
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: politicizing this when I'm going there, it is just a

752
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: clear competitive advantage for the player who is vaccinated over

753
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: the player who's unvaccinated. In this case, he's in a

754
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: quarterback race with a rookie who everyone thinks is really

755
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: coming on strong. And now they've got five practice or

756
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: three practice with the Giants, and it's going to be

757
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: this inner and I guess we're getting all the number

758
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: one Mac mac Jones. It can only help mac Jones,

759
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: it can only hurt Caiman. Yeah, shout out to Mac

760
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: and Cheese. This is a great opportunity. This is what

761
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: football is all about, regardless of it being Cam Newton

762
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: sitting out because of COVID, if it was an injury,

763
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: if it was any type of mistake that Cam made

764
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: on the field, and mac Jos had an opportunity to

765
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: play with the ones at practice and in the last

766
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: preseason game. But getting back to Bill Belichick, he's usually

767
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: very monotone, and you know, just call it what it

768
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: is boring to listen to. He doesn't like playing that

769
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: game answering dumb questions. If you will, for a lack

770
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: of better words from reporters, he'll give you the same

771
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: type of response in the question that you ask. It's

772
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 1: not a good question, He's not going to give you

773
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: good answer. But the last it is like to me,

774
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 1: that was almost the most spirited thing I've ever heard

775
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: him saying, very emphatically, right it is. And it was

776
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: the quickest response, and it's almost like he said it

777
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: with an energy that we don't usually hear from Bill Belichick.

778
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: So for mac Jones he has to hear that as well.

779
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: And when always say coaches and players they don't talk

780
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: to the media, they're talking to their team. So he

781
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: was talking to mac Jones and he was also talking

782
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: to Cam Newton in that response, saying, this is a

783
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: great opportunity. You want me to translate this for you.

784
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: This is a great opportunity for mac Jones and if

785
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: he does what he needs to do, he can easily

786
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: win the starting position in be our starter in week

787
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 1: one because of Cam Newton sitting out a handful of

788
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: days due to COVID. It's well said at GMFE with

789
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,439
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this, of course, you know, I don't

790
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: know how if he's endeared himself to the fan base.

791
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,280
Speaker 1: I think you think maybe no. I know the media

792
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: likes him. I'd love to hear from fans. Patriots hands.

793
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: You don't hit us up often enough anyway, let us

794
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: know how you feel about this Canton situation. Eagles receiver

795
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: Jalen Rager had some high praise for his quarterback Jalen

796
00:36:55,480 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: Hurts heading into the matchup as the captain. He got

797
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: a leaders for show and I just believe it, not

798
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: like he had a big chip on his shoulder. So

799
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: and the way you know he talks about it, the

800
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,399
Speaker 1: way he's very intentional. I mean just on the bus

801
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: ride over here, he was just like, man, I'm in

802
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: the mode. So I really think you might have a

803
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: huge year. You're gonna shock a lot of people. Okay,

804
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: I like it, ray Or referring to Hurts as the

805
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: captain there now, although Hurts may have not proven himself

806
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: just yet to everyone, especially the national media, national fantasy

807
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: seems not ready to command the Eagles locker room. We

808
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: love to see that, especially there in Philadelphia, or there

809
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: are questions about leadership in the years past. So, guys,

810
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: how much do we value and shouldn't have Eagles value

811
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: leadership when it comes to their quarterbacks. This guy, the

812
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: first word is leader in general, admiral everything. And that

813
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: was this whole deal out of college too at Alabama,

814
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma. No one's questioning Jalen Hurts his leadership. That

815
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: guy is can lead an army of men, that's just

816
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: what he is. Here comes the inevitable. But can he

817
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: play football? Can he throw a football? Can he play

818
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL? Yes, we know he can, and

819
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: there's a good chance this guy has a fifteen your

820
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: NFL career. But is he a starter? And is he

821
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: the long term starter for the Philadelphia Eagles. He has

822
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: every opportunity in the world to slam the door on

823
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: those questions this season, it's his job. Yet they have

824
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: two first round picks. Next year they get another first

825
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: round pick. Off went magically play seventy snaps and they

826
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: could quickly just pull pull the switch on this and

827
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: say we're out on this. Look, they were one and

828
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: three with him last year. It's not like he lit

829
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: up the skies and did anything. He played well. He fine,

830
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: But I think we need to see it. Look, Case

831
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: Kingdom's a leader, and Drew Stanton's a leader, and Rock

832
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: Taylor is a leader and Andy Dald's doesn't mean they're

833
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: a QB one in the NFL for it, So leadership,

834
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: no one's questioning that. We got to see it now.

835
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: On the field, that's what we kept hearing Joe Judge

836
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: about Daniel Jones, a great leader, a great fighter to

837
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: can you play tough? That's awesome. So I think two

838
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks are going to start this year, which means

839
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: we have twenty nine or three out of thirty nine rookies.

840
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: Out of the thirty, this is by far the most

841
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: mysterious of all of them. It's ranked number one. We

842
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: don't know this guy, I'm kind of going with Peters saying,

843
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: and it gets it's not just that we don't know him.

844
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: We've seen guys that we don't know. There's weird wrinkles,

845
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: like the last time he played in a game, he

846
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: was pulled out of it by his head coach in

847
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: the middle of a week seventeen game that the Eagles

848
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 1: were battling in. And this is the infamous Nate Sudfeld

849
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: game that there were a lot of conspiracy theories. He's

850
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 1: just pulled and like his facial expression, you can read

851
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: it all day. He's just as puzzled and maybe as

852
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 1: frustrated as we are. Weird, weird game. And then okay,

853
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: it's gone. We have a change of head coach. All right,

854
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: let's see him the preseason. Here we go, NFL Network.

855
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: We got him in the warm ups. He's thrown it

856
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: around and he looks great, and then he was pulled.

857
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: We didn't get to see him again because he had

858
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: some sort of an upset tell me or something, a

859
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: non COVID illness. Even though this is moments before the

860
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: what in the hell? So on top of that, Peter,

861
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if he can play, Like if you

862
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: just look at what he's put on tape. He started

863
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: four games, he's won one of them, and I know

864
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles last year weren't great, but look the numbers

865
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: aren't great either, like the fifty one completion seventies han't

866
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: This is not great, and yet it's his kingdom. He

867
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: has the keys to the castle. The teammates seem to

868
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: love him. Go get him, Jalen. I guess my point is,

869
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: like the Eagles might win twelve games here in the

870
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: win two. I don't know, because he is the most

871
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: mysterious quarterback we have. I feel like we know Wilson

872
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 1: and Lawrence were gonna start more than we know Jalen

873
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: Hurts we have. So he didn't even bring up Sirianni. Yeah.

874
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: The biggest mystery part of this your quarterback and your coach. Here,

875
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: it's like, what are the first time head coach to this?

876
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,919
Speaker 1: Like I and here My last point is he playing

877
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: a lot of lest persons game. He has to. He

878
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: hasn't played at all. But if he plays, you gotta

879
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: put out the Eagles first old line and you gotta

880
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: be the egos receiving. So that's very complicated. Yeah, I

881
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: don't know, it is very complicated. Listen. He is a leader. Yeah,

882
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: to Shreg's point, what's going on Listen, he saw him

883
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: in college to do was leading vocally. He's in the

884
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: weight room going crazy putting them pounds and we're like, oh,

885
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: this dude is for real. Then he gets on the

886
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: football field in the NFL and he has that factor

887
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: like Jalen Hurts has that factor. He is in a

888
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: perfect position to lead this team. But I was once

889
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: told a leader is one who knows the way it

890
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: goes the way and shows the way, but can you

891
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: make the play after play on game day. That's what

892
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: we want to see, that's what we want. That's what

893
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 1: Eagles fans want. And in his defense, as far as

894
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 1: his numbers not being great towards the end of the year,

895
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: which they're not, he showed that graphic and it's perfect

896
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: in this conversations. Put that up. The team was unraveling

897
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: at that point. There was a lot going on. I mean,

898
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: the fans turned against wins. Guys were banged up, and

899
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: I'll just keep it up Buck. There are a few

900
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: dudes on that roster that were straight up mailing it in.

901
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: I just feel like the team is brought in and

902
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: they have the right pieces, So I feel like he

903
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: has an opportunity in this last piece of the game

904
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: if he's surrounded by the starters, to slam that door,

905
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 1: and then week one, Week one will be the coming

906
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: out party for Jalen Hurts. I don't believe there's any

907
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: other quarterback in a better and a better situation than Jayla.

908
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: Hurts is new head coach. You went him over. You

909
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: got a team that believes in a young quarterback that

910
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: wants to desperately wants to believe is somebody because Carson

911
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: Wentz is gone, and then a fan base that is

912
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: rallying around the talent. Oh, not to mention, they have

913
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: a few great draft picks coming up, like name and

914
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: you're with the Daniel Jones, you're put are you putting

915
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: in that same category where it's like put up or

916
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: shut up? There's no excuses for Jalen Hurts. Is You're like,

917
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 1: he's in that world? Yeah, he has he has everything

918
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: he needs? What else? What else do we need him

919
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: to have? He has a good good tight end, uh

920
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,720
Speaker 1: good good running back male is fantastic, and wide receiver

921
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: play is good. So yeah, I think every quarterback in

922
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: the NFC East is put up or shut up? Is

923
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: this a no excuses here for Jalen Hurts? Kind of,

924
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I think differently about

925
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: him in Daniel Jones, Jane like you go like we

926
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: gotta go. Yeah, Jones has a super high draft pick

927
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 1: and he's been on the field more, he's had more experienced.

928
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is like, I still feel like he's still

929
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: getting his feet wet and that's why he's such an unknown. Yeah,

930
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: he's drafted in the fifties. He wasn't drafted in the

931
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: top ten. Daniel Jalans with drafting the top ten two

932
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 1: was drafted five. People are like, all right here this

933
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 1: one for Hurts. It's like I think Eagles fans like,

934
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: all right, let's see. You know, I don't think anyone

935
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,240
Speaker 1: in the Eagles fan base is Diehart Hurts or nobody

936
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: else the next ten years. They don't know either. And

937
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: I think the organization as a whole is under a

938
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: huge transition year with a new coach, new offensive coordinator,

939
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: a new defensive coordinator, and now this new quarterback no

940
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: longer Carson Wentz his team, and Doug Peterson is nowhere

941
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: be found. What we know is that he's a leader.

942
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,800
Speaker 1: We can all agree that. We can also all agree

943
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: leadership not going to stop the Eagles from trying to

944
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 1: get another quarterback after this year if he doesn't bring

945
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: it on the field. Good Morning Football is the production
