In case you haven't heard, down in Baltimore, 13 00:00:52,868 --> 00:00:56,508 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson has given rookie wide receivers A Flowers the 14 00:00:56,588 --> 00:01:00,708 Speaker 2: nickname Joystick. There was controversy, there was anger, There was 15 00:01:01,388 --> 00:01:03,348 Speaker 2: debate the last hour and. 16 00:01:03,268 --> 00:01:05,428 Speaker 4: What have we solved all of the fact that it 17 00:01:05,548 --> 00:01:09,188 Speaker 4: is okay for Jay Flowers to be called George Stick 18 00:01:09,708 --> 00:01:10,748 Speaker 4: not the human Joystick? 19 00:01:10,908 --> 00:01:11,068 Speaker 5: HM? 20 00:01:11,508 --> 00:01:14,668 Speaker 3: Differentiation? Yeah, how does that make you feel? 21 00:01:14,868 --> 00:01:16,348 Speaker 5: Well? There is some legal precedent. 22 00:01:16,388 --> 00:01:19,228 Speaker 1: I remember when the Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards 23 00:01:19,268 --> 00:01:20,988 Speaker 1: was having a moment and if people calling him. 24 00:01:20,908 --> 00:01:21,748 Speaker 5: Gus to the bus. 25 00:01:22,028 --> 00:01:23,908 Speaker 1: I actually got to talk to Jerome Bettis and I 26 00:01:23,948 --> 00:01:26,548 Speaker 1: was like, Drum, you're the bus. Not only they're get 27 00:01:26,948 --> 00:01:28,868 Speaker 1: call somebody else the bus. It's a raven, it's Steelers. 28 00:01:29,668 --> 00:01:32,388 Speaker 5: He's like, it's okay, it's okay. I love them. 29 00:01:32,388 --> 00:01:34,908 Speaker 1: He's like, I'm here to spread the love. But like 30 00:01:35,028 --> 00:01:37,708 Speaker 1: Dante and Jerome are like two very nice guys that 31 00:01:37,748 --> 00:01:40,028 Speaker 1: I think are very secure with yourselves some other people. 32 00:01:40,188 --> 00:01:43,428 Speaker 1: Someone did suggest on Twitter that Zave Flowers getting the 33 00:01:43,468 --> 00:01:45,348 Speaker 1: Joystick should be like when you show up to your 34 00:01:45,388 --> 00:01:46,948 Speaker 1: team and someone has your number, like there. 35 00:01:46,828 --> 00:01:50,388 Speaker 5: Should be a payment all of a sudden, maybe you 36 00:01:50,428 --> 00:01:51,988 Speaker 5: want to talk. I love that. 37 00:01:52,068 --> 00:01:57,268 Speaker 1: I no, I do, but for now they're calling them 38 00:01:57,388 --> 00:01:58,988 Speaker 1: the joystick in Baltimore. 39 00:01:58,988 --> 00:01:59,388 Speaker 5: It's okay. 40 00:01:59,468 --> 00:02:01,028 Speaker 2: They should ask Lamar to be on the hook for 41 00:02:01,068 --> 00:02:04,188 Speaker 2: that bill because he's the one that got that man 42 00:02:04,228 --> 00:02:04,948 Speaker 2: in tired. 43 00:02:04,828 --> 00:02:05,788 Speaker 3: Joe right exactly. 44 00:02:07,428 --> 00:02:11,708 Speaker 2: Let's talk about America's team, typically Blocker. There's been plenty 45 00:02:11,748 --> 00:02:14,468 Speaker 2: of us out in Oxnard, California, of course, the home 46 00:02:14,508 --> 00:02:17,188 Speaker 2: of the Cowboys training camp and all off season really 47 00:02:17,228 --> 00:02:21,388 Speaker 2: surrounding Dallas. About Mike McCarthy as the new Lee crowned 48 00:02:21,588 --> 00:02:24,388 Speaker 2: Cowboys play caller this season, Kellim Moore moved on to 49 00:02:24,468 --> 00:02:28,068 Speaker 2: Los Angeles Chargers, so now it's Mike Andcarthy's job. Yesterday, 50 00:02:28,908 --> 00:02:31,428 Speaker 2: Ceedee Lamb gave us a little insight into the offense 51 00:02:31,628 --> 00:02:33,788 Speaker 2: and Dak Prescott how he's gone. 52 00:02:33,668 --> 00:02:34,348 Speaker 3: At training camp. 53 00:02:36,628 --> 00:02:39,788 Speaker 6: He's very aggressive, Uh, and the way he wants to win. 54 00:02:39,868 --> 00:02:41,748 Speaker 6: I mean, that's everybody, and he's looking for the deep 55 00:02:41,748 --> 00:02:44,668 Speaker 6: ball now. So if you're not going back up, this 56 00:02:44,788 --> 00:02:46,348 Speaker 6: is a one and to everybody, if you're not going 57 00:02:46,388 --> 00:02:47,348 Speaker 6: back up, good luck. 58 00:02:48,268 --> 00:02:48,908 Speaker 1: I like it. 59 00:02:48,988 --> 00:02:51,388 Speaker 5: What are some of the changes to the offense with 60 00:02:51,948 --> 00:02:53,268 Speaker 5: Mike versus Kellen. 61 00:02:53,428 --> 00:02:56,108 Speaker 6: Really not much, honestly, just you know, the way different 62 00:02:56,108 --> 00:02:59,268 Speaker 6: play calling, of course, but uh, it's just it's a 63 00:02:59,308 --> 00:03:01,708 Speaker 6: lot more simpler. You know, all the offenses in dak 64 00:03:01,788 --> 00:03:05,068 Speaker 6: chands now it's not necessarily you know, being called from 65 00:03:05,308 --> 00:03:08,508 Speaker 6: Mike or kill since last year, but now it's all 66 00:03:08,508 --> 00:03:10,708 Speaker 6: on deck. Like higher ver's feeling versus the coverage. If 67 00:03:10,748 --> 00:03:12,788 Speaker 6: you like the matchup, we're gonna call that play. If 68 00:03:12,788 --> 00:03:15,508 Speaker 6: he likes whatever he likes versus his own, he's going 69 00:03:15,588 --> 00:03:17,348 Speaker 6: to call that play. So technically it is all in 70 00:03:17,428 --> 00:03:18,068 Speaker 6: Dak's hands. 71 00:03:20,908 --> 00:03:23,108 Speaker 2: All right, you heard it from CD. The offense is 72 00:03:23,148 --> 00:03:25,668 Speaker 2: all in Dak's hands. So after some early exits from 73 00:03:25,668 --> 00:03:28,708 Speaker 2: the playoffs over the last two years, what is truly 74 00:03:28,788 --> 00:03:31,228 Speaker 2: at stake for not Mike McCarthy in this conversation, for 75 00:03:31,348 --> 00:03:33,388 Speaker 2: Dak Prescott going into this season. 76 00:03:33,628 --> 00:03:35,308 Speaker 7: I think as you look at Dak in his career, 77 00:03:35,348 --> 00:03:38,188 Speaker 7: he's been a really good quarterback in the NFL, and 78 00:03:38,348 --> 00:03:40,348 Speaker 7: you look at the lepe that he can possibly make 79 00:03:40,348 --> 00:03:43,468 Speaker 7: and guess from Kellamore to Mike McCarthy and your CD 80 00:03:43,588 --> 00:03:45,868 Speaker 7: Lambs say the offense is in Dak's hands. He has 81 00:03:45,908 --> 00:03:49,068 Speaker 7: the ability to change plays and dictate what the offense 82 00:03:49,188 --> 00:03:51,588 Speaker 7: is going to do. I think this creates an opportunity 83 00:03:51,628 --> 00:03:54,108 Speaker 7: for Dak Prescott to go from being a really good 84 00:03:54,148 --> 00:03:56,428 Speaker 7: quarterback in the NFL to try to work his way 85 00:03:56,508 --> 00:03:58,988 Speaker 7: up to be mentioned amongst the elites when you talk 86 00:03:59,028 --> 00:04:01,188 Speaker 7: about who are the best quarterbacks in the league, when 87 00:04:01,188 --> 00:04:03,788 Speaker 7: you start doing tears and all of those different things 88 00:04:03,788 --> 00:04:05,988 Speaker 7: that we take up time in the offseason to create 89 00:04:06,388 --> 00:04:08,628 Speaker 7: Dak Prescott moving from whether you have them in three 90 00:04:08,628 --> 00:04:11,788 Speaker 7: to two up to that number one echelons. I think 91 00:04:11,828 --> 00:04:13,908 Speaker 7: this is an opportunity and you look at his numbers 92 00:04:13,948 --> 00:04:17,268 Speaker 7: over the course of his career amongst active quarterbacks, he's 93 00:04:17,388 --> 00:04:19,828 Speaker 7: right middle of the pack, twelfth in yours and twelfth 94 00:04:19,828 --> 00:04:20,988 Speaker 7: in this and tenth and that. 95 00:04:21,468 --> 00:04:22,508 Speaker 5: And you look at. 96 00:04:22,348 --> 00:04:25,588 Speaker 7: His postseason last year in twenty twenty two, he has 97 00:04:25,628 --> 00:04:28,188 Speaker 7: that wildcard game against the Buccaneers and there's just, like, 98 00:04:28,548 --> 00:04:31,308 Speaker 7: my goodness, more touchdowns, no interceptions. 99 00:04:31,468 --> 00:04:32,988 Speaker 5: Those numbers are off the chart. 100 00:04:33,268 --> 00:04:34,988 Speaker 7: And then the next week they come back in the division, 101 00:04:35,148 --> 00:04:36,668 Speaker 7: they play the forty nine ers, and it's like a 102 00:04:36,708 --> 00:04:39,308 Speaker 7: tale of two halves, and you can't figure out why 103 00:04:39,348 --> 00:04:42,588 Speaker 7: the drop or what it is that Prescott is going through. 104 00:04:42,628 --> 00:04:45,548 Speaker 7: It obviously just doesn't all fall on his shoulders. But 105 00:04:45,588 --> 00:04:48,628 Speaker 7: when you talk about being one of the best quarterbacks 106 00:04:48,668 --> 00:04:50,508 Speaker 7: in the game and being able to will your team 107 00:04:50,788 --> 00:04:53,588 Speaker 7: to victory and take them to a conference championship game 108 00:04:53,588 --> 00:04:56,628 Speaker 7: and possibly the Super Bowl, I think this is an 109 00:04:56,628 --> 00:04:59,468 Speaker 7: opportunity he has to really step up and take over 110 00:04:59,548 --> 00:05:01,708 Speaker 7: this team because right now, the question is that we've 111 00:05:01,748 --> 00:05:04,228 Speaker 7: been asking for the last twenty five years, are n 112 00:05:04,388 --> 00:05:06,668 Speaker 7: the Cowboys actually do it? Are they just a good 113 00:05:06,788 --> 00:05:09,388 Speaker 7: regular season team? Every time we do a segment on 114 00:05:09,428 --> 00:05:12,588 Speaker 7: the Cowboys, the same question continues to come up. It's 115 00:05:12,588 --> 00:05:14,988 Speaker 7: been a line from Troy Aikman to Tony Romo. Now 116 00:05:15,068 --> 00:05:19,188 Speaker 7: is Dak Prescott the Cowboys America's team of the past. 117 00:05:19,508 --> 00:05:21,348 Speaker 5: You have to have a certain level of. 118 00:05:21,308 --> 00:05:23,588 Speaker 7: Winning, I think to move up into that next group, 119 00:05:23,748 --> 00:05:26,228 Speaker 7: and I think Dak Prescott this year has an opportunity 120 00:05:26,308 --> 00:05:29,148 Speaker 7: to do that. And hearing that he has more responsibility 121 00:05:29,148 --> 00:05:31,748 Speaker 7: in the offense, adding a guy like Brandon Cooks, having 122 00:05:31,828 --> 00:05:34,948 Speaker 7: the explosiveness of Tony Pollard in the backfield. Hey, now, 123 00:05:34,988 --> 00:05:37,308 Speaker 7: more than ever is the time to do it. I'm 124 00:05:37,348 --> 00:05:41,588 Speaker 7: gonna stay within that same stratusphere. You make your name 125 00:05:41,988 --> 00:05:45,708 Speaker 7: during the regular season. You make your legacy doing the playoffs. 126 00:05:45,908 --> 00:05:49,748 Speaker 7: You've made money, you have fame. When you're done with football, 127 00:05:49,868 --> 00:05:52,628 Speaker 7: you're going to be great. Right now, this season is 128 00:05:52,668 --> 00:05:55,508 Speaker 7: all about your legacy. You're two and four in the playoffs. 129 00:05:56,028 --> 00:05:57,388 Speaker 7: That's how you change your legacy. 130 00:05:57,588 --> 00:06:00,268 Speaker 4: You have to perform in the playoffs, not in the 131 00:06:00,308 --> 00:06:04,068 Speaker 4: regular season, not in the preseason. It's the playoffs and 132 00:06:04,388 --> 00:06:08,348 Speaker 4: specifically past the wildcard round. So I think this year 133 00:06:08,548 --> 00:06:12,988 Speaker 4: is all about Dak's legacy. Last year he missed five 134 00:06:13,108 --> 00:06:17,068 Speaker 4: games and still led the NFL and interceptions, and they 135 00:06:17,068 --> 00:06:20,108 Speaker 4: are telling us that he is saying the offense is 136 00:06:20,148 --> 00:06:23,908 Speaker 4: going to be more aggressive. Maybe think about throwing it away, 137 00:06:24,028 --> 00:06:27,228 Speaker 4: Maybe think about checking it down. Don't be more aggressive. 138 00:06:27,668 --> 00:06:29,628 Speaker 4: Your legacy is on the line this year, Dak. 139 00:06:31,028 --> 00:06:34,028 Speaker 1: My concern with Dak Prescott is that he doesn't have 140 00:06:34,108 --> 00:06:36,748 Speaker 1: much at stake, that there isn't really a lot of stakes. 141 00:06:36,748 --> 00:06:40,268 Speaker 1: And let me tell you why. Dak is paid upon 142 00:06:40,388 --> 00:06:44,268 Speaker 1: paid upon paid. His contract is massive. He's not going anywhere. 143 00:06:44,268 --> 00:06:44,788 Speaker 1: He's very good. 144 00:06:44,908 --> 00:06:45,068 Speaker 5: Yea. 145 00:06:45,348 --> 00:06:48,748 Speaker 1: He has tons of endorsements, he has tons of commercials. Okay, 146 00:06:49,468 --> 00:06:51,988 Speaker 1: he's the Walter Payton Man of the Year. It's the 147 00:06:52,028 --> 00:06:54,068 Speaker 1: greatest honor that you can be given in this league. 148 00:06:54,068 --> 00:06:55,948 Speaker 1: He'll wear that patch on his jersey for the rest 149 00:06:55,988 --> 00:06:58,108 Speaker 1: of his career. He has total respect in that guard 150 00:06:58,148 --> 00:07:01,668 Speaker 1: for everything he does in the community. Is what is 151 00:07:01,708 --> 00:07:05,828 Speaker 1: he striving for now? Okay, a super Bowl? Sure, if 152 00:07:05,868 --> 00:07:07,388 Speaker 1: he wins the Super Bowl, that's going to change. Is 153 00:07:07,428 --> 00:07:09,628 Speaker 1: that really going to happen? I don't know. I remember 154 00:07:09,668 --> 00:07:11,748 Speaker 1: they lost that game to the Niners and his press 155 00:07:11,748 --> 00:07:14,828 Speaker 1: conference afterwards, he said, you know, the way I played 156 00:07:14,828 --> 00:07:18,908 Speaker 1: in this performance, Bass was unacceptable. Is it is there 157 00:07:19,068 --> 00:07:22,268 Speaker 1: someone in Dallas who's like no more, we're changing everything. 158 00:07:22,308 --> 00:07:23,348 Speaker 5: This is unacceptable. 159 00:07:23,548 --> 00:07:26,068 Speaker 1: It seems to me that's completely acceptable and what they do, 160 00:07:26,148 --> 00:07:28,308 Speaker 1: and it's what they've done since I was in high school. 161 00:07:28,508 --> 00:07:29,668 Speaker 5: They had a very good season. 162 00:07:29,868 --> 00:07:31,788 Speaker 1: They beat the Bucks, they beat Tom Brady in his 163 00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:33,868 Speaker 1: last game, and it's kind of like, well that worked, 164 00:07:34,348 --> 00:07:38,708 Speaker 1: until someone says, absolutely, I'm stopping, I'm breaking this cycle. 165 00:07:38,828 --> 00:07:39,748 Speaker 5: And it's a coach. 166 00:07:40,028 --> 00:07:41,868 Speaker 1: This coach or the next coach or certainly the guy 167 00:07:41,908 --> 00:07:45,428 Speaker 1: who's in the owner's box changes something radically. It's just 168 00:07:45,468 --> 00:07:48,508 Speaker 1: Groundhog team. They're always very good, they're never great, And 169 00:07:48,548 --> 00:07:50,068 Speaker 1: I just want to make sure and step back and 170 00:07:50,068 --> 00:07:52,428 Speaker 1: look that Dak right now is playing in an era 171 00:07:52,988 --> 00:07:56,028 Speaker 1: where there's maybe two or three guys in the NFC 172 00:07:56,148 --> 00:08:01,268 Speaker 1: at most there may be one fantastic quarterback, AFC Juggernaut. 173 00:08:00,788 --> 00:08:03,108 Speaker 5: And NFC like, you can't get to the super Bowl 174 00:08:03,148 --> 00:08:03,988 Speaker 5: in this NFC. 175 00:08:05,068 --> 00:08:08,508 Speaker 1: You're losing to the Garoppolo types and whoever the hell 176 00:08:08,508 --> 00:08:11,148 Speaker 1: is San Francisco is churning out and Rogers when it's 177 00:08:11,188 --> 00:08:15,228 Speaker 1: all gone. So Dak has a great life, great bank account, 178 00:08:15,308 --> 00:08:17,628 Speaker 1: great respect, He's always a very good player. 179 00:08:17,948 --> 00:08:18,988 Speaker 5: What exactly is. 180 00:08:18,948 --> 00:08:22,308 Speaker 1: The motivation is he that guy who's Michael Jordan like 181 00:08:22,388 --> 00:08:24,868 Speaker 1: or Kobe like? Who said like I will not rest 182 00:08:24,948 --> 00:08:27,428 Speaker 1: until I win the Super Bowl? Or is he just like, yeah, 183 00:08:27,468 --> 00:08:29,988 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try. But in the meantime, you know, I'm 184 00:08:29,988 --> 00:08:31,428 Speaker 1: doing pretty well and I'm going to continue to be 185 00:08:31,428 --> 00:08:33,428 Speaker 1: the Cowboys quarterback and then I'll go into broadcasting like 186 00:08:33,428 --> 00:08:36,188 Speaker 1: my predecessors. If that's the case, there isn't a lot 187 00:08:36,228 --> 00:08:38,908 Speaker 1: at stake. We've seen guys were hungry, were unproven, who 188 00:08:38,908 --> 00:08:40,668 Speaker 1: want to get paid, who want to get respected? He 189 00:08:40,708 --> 00:08:43,348 Speaker 1: has paid, he is respected. Where is the hunger from that? 190 00:08:43,748 --> 00:08:47,028 Speaker 1: I wonder if he's that type of guy, I will. 191 00:08:46,948 --> 00:08:48,508 Speaker 3: Go down that same path with you. 192 00:08:48,588 --> 00:08:52,348 Speaker 2: Specifically, three months ago you put out quarterback tears. 193 00:08:52,388 --> 00:08:52,948 Speaker 3: Do you remember this? 194 00:08:53,148 --> 00:08:55,468 Speaker 2: You went AFC first, I think, and then everyone's up 195 00:08:55,468 --> 00:08:58,468 Speaker 2: in arm so the people demanded you went NFC and 196 00:08:58,628 --> 00:09:01,668 Speaker 2: just to jog your memory and to tell Dante he 197 00:09:01,748 --> 00:09:04,508 Speaker 2: had Jalen Hurt in the top tier, he had a 198 00:09:04,908 --> 00:09:07,988 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins and Matt Stafford in the second tier, and 199 00:09:08,028 --> 00:09:10,028 Speaker 2: then the smattering of quarterbacks after that. 200 00:09:10,428 --> 00:09:11,988 Speaker 3: Everything you just said. 201 00:09:11,828 --> 00:09:14,588 Speaker 2: About Dak Prescott and whether or not it's what even 202 00:09:14,748 --> 00:09:17,068 Speaker 2: is at stake. He's been totally fine, and you use 203 00:09:17,108 --> 00:09:19,988 Speaker 2: the words he's got his life is made, his bank 204 00:09:20,028 --> 00:09:22,508 Speaker 2: account has made, his respect is there? Is this not 205 00:09:22,748 --> 00:09:24,988 Speaker 2: the same concept that we talked about Kirk Cousins all 206 00:09:25,028 --> 00:09:27,268 Speaker 2: the time. In that segment when you had the tiers 207 00:09:27,308 --> 00:09:29,388 Speaker 2: up there, you asked us all the question who do 208 00:09:29,428 --> 00:09:31,628 Speaker 2: you want the fourth quarter on a game winning drive? 209 00:09:31,948 --> 00:09:34,188 Speaker 2: Do you want Kirk Cousins or do you want Dak Prescott? 210 00:09:34,348 --> 00:09:37,988 Speaker 2: To me this concept of what is he really striving after? 211 00:09:38,708 --> 00:09:41,028 Speaker 2: Is he putting himself under more pressure? What does success 212 00:09:41,148 --> 00:09:43,468 Speaker 2: look like to Dak Prescott? Because a lot of people 213 00:09:43,708 --> 00:09:45,708 Speaker 2: would say one and the same, those two guys are 214 00:09:46,268 --> 00:09:48,548 Speaker 2: are doing great. I was the fay, same player and 215 00:09:48,748 --> 00:09:50,388 Speaker 2: the same player. I would say, let's go back to 216 00:09:50,428 --> 00:09:52,828 Speaker 2: this game. Where's this Dak Prescott? When he beat up 217 00:09:52,868 --> 00:09:56,028 Speaker 2: on the Vikings and they won forty to three. It 218 00:09:56,148 --> 00:09:59,148 Speaker 2: was twenty three to three at halftime, He went for 219 00:09:59,188 --> 00:10:02,268 Speaker 2: two touchdowns. He led Tony Pollard to have to lead 220 00:10:02,308 --> 00:10:05,308 Speaker 2: the team both rushing and receiving yards. Where was this 221 00:10:05,348 --> 00:10:09,508 Speaker 2: guy on the road that absolutely sliced across a Minnesota 222 00:10:09,548 --> 00:10:10,228 Speaker 2: defense that. 223 00:10:10,228 --> 00:10:11,068 Speaker 3: Was playing great. 224 00:10:11,308 --> 00:10:14,308 Speaker 2: They bounced back the next week forty to three on 225 00:10:14,348 --> 00:10:16,188 Speaker 2: the road against an NFC opponent. 226 00:10:16,388 --> 00:10:18,428 Speaker 3: What did Kirk Cousins do that day? Didn't stand up 227 00:10:18,428 --> 00:10:19,148 Speaker 3: the way Dak did. 228 00:10:19,428 --> 00:10:22,028 Speaker 2: We see flashes from a week to week perspective on 229 00:10:22,148 --> 00:10:24,788 Speaker 2: guys that are really good at the position, but to 230 00:10:24,828 --> 00:10:27,588 Speaker 2: take it to the next level to be considered elite, 231 00:10:27,628 --> 00:10:29,148 Speaker 2: you've got to be able to do it to your 232 00:10:29,188 --> 00:10:31,988 Speaker 2: point Dante in January, and you have to have that 233 00:10:32,108 --> 00:10:33,028 Speaker 2: killer mentality. 234 00:10:33,268 --> 00:10:34,188 Speaker 3: And for both of those. 235 00:10:34,028 --> 00:10:35,708 Speaker 2: Guys, I just couldn't believe the words you were using 236 00:10:35,828 --> 00:10:37,748 Speaker 2: how applicable it can be to both Dak and. 237 00:10:37,788 --> 00:10:39,028 Speaker 5: Churact same player, same clacker. 238 00:10:39,268 --> 00:10:41,748 Speaker 1: I agree find the difference, but it's the meme that 239 00:10:41,748 --> 00:10:42,748 Speaker 1: they're the same picture. 240 00:10:42,868 --> 00:10:44,508 Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying, Jay, If it doesn't work 241 00:10:44,508 --> 00:10:47,308 Speaker 7: out for the Cowboys offense this year, more to blame 242 00:10:47,348 --> 00:10:49,468 Speaker 7: on Dak or more to blame on McCarthy. 243 00:10:50,588 --> 00:10:53,348 Speaker 4: Sounds like that according to cdee Limb, if the offense 244 00:10:53,508 --> 00:10:55,908 Speaker 4: is all in Deck's ind and has really had nothing 245 00:10:55,908 --> 00:11:00,108 Speaker 4: to do with killing Moore and Mike McCarthy, it's on Dak. 246 00:11:00,308 --> 00:11:02,228 Speaker 2: How are we in a situation again though, where we've 247 00:11:02,268 --> 00:11:04,868 Speaker 2: somehow found another way to not have Mike McCarthy, like 248 00:11:05,068 --> 00:11:08,148 Speaker 2: take all of the responsibility on the place. Somehow we've 249 00:11:08,148 --> 00:11:10,548 Speaker 2: gotten you skipped right over Kellen Moore Departy and now 250 00:11:10,548 --> 00:11:11,348 Speaker 2: we're like, no, no, now. 251 00:11:11,348 --> 00:11:11,948 Speaker 3: It's on Dak. 252 00:11:12,108 --> 00:11:15,068 Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy's just like he's able to somehow go around 253 00:11:15,068 --> 00:11:17,348 Speaker 2: and be like, not my I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. 254 00:11:17,508 --> 00:11:19,428 Speaker 1: We saw the Dak version with Garrett it was it's 255 00:11:19,428 --> 00:11:21,908 Speaker 1: pretty much the same thing. It's very good, it's not 256 00:11:21,988 --> 00:11:25,348 Speaker 1: usually great, and there's huge peaks like that Vikings game 257 00:11:25,428 --> 00:11:27,468 Speaker 1: or a million different I mean, Dak's had an awesome career. 258 00:11:27,948 --> 00:11:30,388 Speaker 1: It's just he's two and four in the playoffs. He 259 00:11:30,508 --> 00:11:33,188 Speaker 1: is like one of these guys who's the next level down, 260 00:11:33,228 --> 00:11:35,668 Speaker 1: who's not in the Hall of Fame conversation. There's nothing 261 00:11:35,668 --> 00:11:37,828 Speaker 1: wrong with that. That's a great career. Great, There's nothing 262 00:11:37,828 --> 00:11:40,188 Speaker 1: wrong with being Matt Ryan. Like, it's an awesome, awesome career. 263 00:11:40,228 --> 00:11:42,188 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan was an MVP. Is nothing wrong with being 264 00:11:42,228 --> 00:11:45,268 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. Those are great quarterbacks, just like Dak just 265 00:11:45,388 --> 00:11:47,828 Speaker 1: might not be one of the greats of this era 266 00:11:47,908 --> 00:11:48,908 Speaker 1: unless he changes at this show. 267 00:11:48,948 --> 00:11:51,548 Speaker 3: Is that how people view Tony Romo? Is that how 268 00:11:51,548 --> 00:11:59,468 Speaker 3: people view Tony? Absolutely absolutely, we're gonna do something for you. 269 00:11:59,508 --> 00:12:01,108 Speaker 2: If you we're up here with the stools in the 270 00:12:01,148 --> 00:12:03,108 Speaker 2: set and we're gonna play a little game. With training 271 00:12:03,108 --> 00:12:06,108 Speaker 2: camp in full swing, that means everybody is doing this. 272 00:12:06,348 --> 00:12:11,028 Speaker 3: They're talking. So we got quotes on quotes on quotes. 273 00:12:11,548 --> 00:12:13,708 Speaker 3: We'll start with Sean Payton. He made waves last week. 274 00:12:13,748 --> 00:12:16,028 Speaker 2: Honestly, we can't stop talking about it with his comments 275 00:12:16,068 --> 00:12:20,148 Speaker 2: in the media. Well, yesterday Broncos all corner Pat certain 276 00:12:20,588 --> 00:12:24,708 Speaker 2: made some much more tea headlines with his expectations. 277 00:12:23,868 --> 00:12:26,188 Speaker 3: For the twenty twenty three Broncos. Yet we still want 278 00:12:26,188 --> 00:12:27,268 Speaker 3: to talk about it. Take a listen. 279 00:12:29,108 --> 00:12:34,148 Speaker 8: Yeah, that's definitely the expectation. You know, it's either playoffs 280 00:12:34,188 --> 00:12:36,308 Speaker 8: or Super Bowl. You know that's on our minds right now. 281 00:12:36,668 --> 00:12:39,268 Speaker 8: Obviously the past couple of years hasn't been in our favor. 282 00:12:40,268 --> 00:12:42,708 Speaker 8: You know, we went up short. So you know this 283 00:12:42,868 --> 00:12:47,588 Speaker 8: year the standard is the standard, you know, winning enough games, 284 00:12:47,628 --> 00:12:50,988 Speaker 8: getting above five hundred and winning games and getting to 285 00:12:51,068 --> 00:12:52,108 Speaker 8: that playoff scenarios. 286 00:12:54,788 --> 00:12:56,828 Speaker 3: Quotes, unquotes, unquotes, The standard is the standard. 287 00:12:56,908 --> 00:12:59,348 Speaker 2: Jason, what do you think about Certan's playoff expectations. 288 00:13:00,428 --> 00:13:02,548 Speaker 7: I think at this point in the season, we all 289 00:13:02,588 --> 00:13:05,028 Speaker 7: when you're playing at this point, This playoff, the super Bowl, 290 00:13:05,028 --> 00:13:07,748 Speaker 7: all those are the things you say, but what is 291 00:13:07,788 --> 00:13:10,428 Speaker 7: the standard in Denver? I mean when Peyton Manning was there, 292 00:13:10,468 --> 00:13:12,868 Speaker 7: they win won the super Bowl. But you think about 293 00:13:12,988 --> 00:13:15,468 Speaker 7: for them to say, hey, playoffs, super Bowl. 294 00:13:15,188 --> 00:13:15,828 Speaker 5: And all of that. 295 00:13:16,148 --> 00:13:18,468 Speaker 7: Last year they won one game in their division. That 296 00:13:18,588 --> 00:13:20,828 Speaker 7: was the last game of the season against the Chargers, 297 00:13:20,868 --> 00:13:23,948 Speaker 7: where the Chargers played their starters for longer than everybody 298 00:13:23,988 --> 00:13:26,308 Speaker 7: thought they would. But that was the only game they 299 00:13:26,388 --> 00:13:29,468 Speaker 7: won in their division. And the AFC is tough as 300 00:13:29,508 --> 00:13:32,388 Speaker 7: as it is, and to actually make it to the playoffs, 301 00:13:32,428 --> 00:13:34,708 Speaker 7: it starts with trying to win in that division. And 302 00:13:34,748 --> 00:13:37,188 Speaker 7: for the Broncos, I don't see exactly where they're gonna 303 00:13:37,188 --> 00:13:39,428 Speaker 7: make that huge leap and be a team we're talking 304 00:13:39,468 --> 00:13:43,468 Speaker 7: about competing for a super Bowl this year. Love the enthusiasm, 305 00:13:43,628 --> 00:13:45,868 Speaker 7: Love the new energy. When your head coach comes out 306 00:13:45,908 --> 00:13:47,988 Speaker 7: and says that he expects this team in the playoffs. 307 00:13:48,068 --> 00:13:49,988 Speaker 7: When you go up to the podium the next few 308 00:13:50,028 --> 00:13:52,548 Speaker 7: days and you talk, you Dan well better say, hey, 309 00:13:52,548 --> 00:13:55,668 Speaker 7: our expectations are the playoffs as well. We'll see where 310 00:13:55,708 --> 00:13:58,388 Speaker 7: this Denver Broncos team is. I don't really I can't 311 00:13:58,428 --> 00:14:01,108 Speaker 7: put my finger on exactly what their standard is right now. 312 00:14:00,988 --> 00:14:03,148 Speaker 4: Though, I'm gonna pick it back right off of that, 313 00:14:03,388 --> 00:14:06,748 Speaker 4: because you gotta first win your divisions before you can 314 00:14:06,788 --> 00:14:10,788 Speaker 4: even think about anything else. I play with passer Tan's dad, Yeah, yeah, 315 00:14:10,788 --> 00:14:12,548 Speaker 4: I play with him. I think he would tell him 316 00:14:12,588 --> 00:14:15,348 Speaker 4: the same thing. You gotta win your division first, but 317 00:14:15,428 --> 00:14:18,188 Speaker 4: before you even think about winning your division, you have 318 00:14:18,268 --> 00:14:19,388 Speaker 4: to beat the Chiefs first. 319 00:14:19,388 --> 00:14:20,228 Speaker 5: I don't think you've. 320 00:14:20,068 --> 00:14:22,948 Speaker 4: Beat the Chiefs since I played for the chief So first, 321 00:14:22,988 --> 00:14:25,428 Speaker 4: worry about beating the Chiefs a couple of times when 322 00:14:25,508 --> 00:14:27,988 Speaker 4: your division, and then we can progress on to the 323 00:14:28,028 --> 00:14:29,628 Speaker 4: playoffs and then the Super Bowl. 324 00:14:29,708 --> 00:14:31,748 Speaker 1: Maybe I'd said the same thing for the Raiders, like 325 00:14:31,828 --> 00:14:32,668 Speaker 1: the same exact deal. 326 00:14:32,708 --> 00:14:33,588 Speaker 5: Beat the Chiefs. We know that. 327 00:14:33,828 --> 00:14:35,988 Speaker 1: But I hate this time of year when anybody says 328 00:14:35,988 --> 00:14:37,028 Speaker 1: anything other than playoffs. 329 00:14:37,068 --> 00:14:40,028 Speaker 5: You should say playoffs. We're not talking about? Yeah, I do. 330 00:14:40,228 --> 00:14:42,388 Speaker 5: What should the goal be? 331 00:14:42,868 --> 00:14:44,388 Speaker 1: Well, you know, if we can get to seven wins, 332 00:14:44,388 --> 00:14:45,508 Speaker 1: like we'd be really happy with that. 333 00:14:45,628 --> 00:14:47,268 Speaker 5: And that's no make the playoffs. 334 00:14:47,428 --> 00:14:49,868 Speaker 1: Every single year, with a very few exceptions, there's a 335 00:14:49,868 --> 00:14:52,188 Speaker 1: team that goes from last place to first place. 336 00:14:52,228 --> 00:14:53,828 Speaker 5: It's just how it happens. I don't care what team 337 00:14:53,828 --> 00:14:54,068 Speaker 5: you are. 338 00:14:54,308 --> 00:14:56,748 Speaker 1: If you are the Broncos, if you are the Texans, 339 00:14:56,748 --> 00:14:59,788 Speaker 1: if you are the Cardinals. We want to make the playoffs. 340 00:14:59,588 --> 00:15:02,908 Speaker 1: It's not some crazy pie in the sky vision. It happens. 341 00:15:02,948 --> 00:15:04,628 Speaker 1: The league is set up for that. The league has 342 00:15:04,628 --> 00:15:07,908 Speaker 1: that's happened every single year. The Broncos have a quarterback 343 00:15:07,948 --> 00:15:09,708 Speaker 1: who's won a Super Bowl. I had coaches won a 344 00:15:09,708 --> 00:15:12,388 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Jason said, what they have the best secondary 345 00:15:12,508 --> 00:15:13,748 Speaker 1: in the entire league. 346 00:15:14,068 --> 00:15:16,708 Speaker 5: They're built to win the game in a passing league 347 00:15:16,908 --> 00:15:17,868 Speaker 5: super Bowl. I don't know. 348 00:15:17,948 --> 00:15:19,468 Speaker 1: No, of course, I'm not predicting the Broncos win the 349 00:15:19,508 --> 00:15:21,388 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Should they get a wild card? Hell, yes, 350 00:15:21,508 --> 00:15:22,028 Speaker 1: go get it. 351 00:15:22,148 --> 00:15:24,388 Speaker 2: Maybe I'm cringing at the fact that he threw super 352 00:15:24,388 --> 00:15:25,948 Speaker 2: Bowl on the back end of a lot, and if 353 00:15:25,948 --> 00:15:28,228 Speaker 2: he had just said playoffs, it would be a little 354 00:15:28,228 --> 00:15:31,108 Speaker 2: bit more palatable. But to say super Bowl, you are 355 00:15:31,148 --> 00:15:33,828 Speaker 2: playing in the same division two times this year, You're 356 00:15:33,828 --> 00:15:36,268 Speaker 2: gonna have to play the Chiefs to your points. Onte' 357 00:15:36,788 --> 00:15:38,908 Speaker 2: that's a that's a high mountain to climb, you know. 358 00:15:39,028 --> 00:15:39,708 Speaker 3: I see that quote. 359 00:15:39,748 --> 00:15:42,988 Speaker 2: I'm watching Pat talk and I'm the Broncos were so 360 00:15:43,188 --> 00:15:45,468 Speaker 2: far off our radars last year It makes me realize 361 00:15:45,468 --> 00:15:47,468 Speaker 2: the last time I really had like paid attention to 362 00:15:47,508 --> 00:15:49,548 Speaker 2: what Pasertan was doing was when he was at Alabama. 363 00:15:49,708 --> 00:15:51,708 Speaker 2: You think about these guys who are like to go 364 00:15:51,748 --> 00:15:54,668 Speaker 2: from great teams in college to really good teams the NFL, 365 00:15:54,708 --> 00:15:56,788 Speaker 2: and you're like, great, that's right on bar. The things 366 00:15:56,828 --> 00:15:58,468 Speaker 2: that that young man has had to deal with, from 367 00:15:58,468 --> 00:16:00,668 Speaker 2: what he was experiencing in Alabama to what he's had 368 00:16:00,708 --> 00:16:01,548 Speaker 2: to deal with the the Broncos. 369 00:16:01,628 --> 00:16:03,188 Speaker 3: I feel for him. I get it he wants to 370 00:16:03,188 --> 00:16:04,068 Speaker 3: get back to the pinnacle. 371 00:16:04,108 --> 00:16:04,308 Speaker 5: No not. 372 00:16:04,908 --> 00:16:05,868 Speaker 3: Early reports from. 373 00:16:05,708 --> 00:16:08,828 Speaker 2: Panthers training camp on their rookie quarterback Bryce. 374 00:16:08,588 --> 00:16:10,508 Speaker 3: Young have been very positive so far. 375 00:16:10,708 --> 00:16:13,388 Speaker 2: Their new safety and former Bengal Von Bell gave an 376 00:16:13,428 --> 00:16:18,108 Speaker 2: interesting comparison to our own Sarah walshamore across yesterday. What 377 00:16:18,188 --> 00:16:20,748 Speaker 2: do you see that comparison between what you saw of 378 00:16:20,868 --> 00:16:23,028 Speaker 2: leadership wise out of Burrow and Bryce. 379 00:16:22,948 --> 00:16:25,068 Speaker 9: Man, it's pretty much the same. They just want to 380 00:16:25,108 --> 00:16:27,788 Speaker 9: prove themselves at first and let their play do to talking. 381 00:16:28,268 --> 00:16:30,748 Speaker 9: Then they go easy into the leadership role and whatnot. 382 00:16:30,788 --> 00:16:32,148 Speaker 9: So they just trying to get their feet down, just 383 00:16:32,148 --> 00:16:33,708 Speaker 9: really go out there and show the guys who they 384 00:16:33,748 --> 00:16:36,068 Speaker 9: are and just showing up every day to work, just 385 00:16:36,068 --> 00:16:38,588 Speaker 9: trying to be a pro. But they're very similar, and 386 00:16:38,628 --> 00:16:39,868 Speaker 9: they're phenomenal talents. 387 00:16:39,868 --> 00:16:44,348 Speaker 3: For sure, I'm very similar. What do we make of 388 00:16:44,388 --> 00:16:46,428 Speaker 3: that comparison, Jason, It's kind of what. 389 00:16:46,388 --> 00:16:48,668 Speaker 7: I would think from the outside looking in. I think 390 00:16:48,668 --> 00:16:51,108 Speaker 7: when Joe Burrow first showed up, you didn't see this 391 00:16:51,268 --> 00:16:54,588 Speaker 7: extremely outgoing personality and his loud God, he got in, 392 00:16:54,908 --> 00:16:56,548 Speaker 7: you let him. We got out there in the preseason 393 00:16:56,628 --> 00:16:59,028 Speaker 7: saw make some plays. I think for Bryce Young, we've 394 00:16:59,028 --> 00:17:02,108 Speaker 7: seen this kind of a softer voice and a mellow 395 00:17:02,188 --> 00:17:04,508 Speaker 7: kind of character. And I think for him right now, 396 00:17:04,388 --> 00:17:06,308 Speaker 7: now you get out on the practice field as a rookie, 397 00:17:06,428 --> 00:17:09,268 Speaker 7: they're the first overall pick. Everybody wants to see what 398 00:17:09,308 --> 00:17:11,668 Speaker 7: you can do. The expectations are extremely high. 399 00:17:11,868 --> 00:17:13,828 Speaker 5: So I for him in the locker room, just go out. 400 00:17:13,708 --> 00:17:15,548 Speaker 7: There and show your teammates, hey, this is why they 401 00:17:15,668 --> 00:17:18,348 Speaker 7: drafted me first overall. And I think for von Bell 402 00:17:18,428 --> 00:17:21,228 Speaker 7: as a veteran, you're in Cincinnati and you just watched 403 00:17:21,388 --> 00:17:23,628 Speaker 7: Joe bow do and you saw the way he did it. 404 00:17:23,708 --> 00:17:25,348 Speaker 7: So now you get a chance to have Bryce Young 405 00:17:25,428 --> 00:17:27,388 Speaker 7: come in. And these are two players that you mentioned 406 00:17:27,428 --> 00:17:30,588 Speaker 7: college Jamie that were in very good programs who reached 407 00:17:30,628 --> 00:17:32,908 Speaker 7: the highest level you can. So they know what it 408 00:17:32,948 --> 00:17:34,988 Speaker 7: takes and they know how to be leaders, and they 409 00:17:35,028 --> 00:17:36,548 Speaker 7: know the journey it takes to become one. 410 00:17:36,988 --> 00:17:39,228 Speaker 4: And one of the best ways to be a leader 411 00:17:39,628 --> 00:17:41,708 Speaker 4: is to just go out and lead by action. 412 00:17:42,468 --> 00:17:44,268 Speaker 5: I love the right ro guys. You need those. 413 00:17:44,308 --> 00:17:45,988 Speaker 4: They get you going on days that you can't get 414 00:17:45,988 --> 00:17:48,188 Speaker 4: yourself gone. But one of the best leaders that I 415 00:17:48,188 --> 00:17:50,268 Speaker 4: ever played with was a guy by the name of 416 00:17:50,348 --> 00:17:53,668 Speaker 4: wheel Shields offensive line fourteen years, never missed a game 417 00:17:53,708 --> 00:17:56,948 Speaker 4: in the NFL. He just went about his business, wasn't 418 00:17:56,948 --> 00:17:59,388 Speaker 4: a big row rod guy, and just quietly and you 419 00:17:59,548 --> 00:18:01,748 Speaker 4: just have to observe. Watch how he worked on his technique, 420 00:18:01,828 --> 00:18:04,908 Speaker 4: Watch how he went about his business, taking notes of meeting, etc. 421 00:18:05,188 --> 00:18:05,428 Speaker 5: Etc. 422 00:18:06,308 --> 00:18:09,148 Speaker 4: I had the pleasure of meeting Bryce on at the 423 00:18:09,228 --> 00:18:13,388 Speaker 4: NFL Draft in Kansas City. Briefly, I failt leadership immediately, 424 00:18:13,628 --> 00:18:16,908 Speaker 4: just within that ten to fifteen minutes of chatting with him, 425 00:18:16,988 --> 00:18:21,108 Speaker 4: I failt leadership. So Voon Bell would know best, and yeah, 426 00:18:21,188 --> 00:18:21,868 Speaker 4: I go with him. 427 00:18:21,908 --> 00:18:23,228 Speaker 5: It must have been cool to meet a player who 428 00:18:23,268 --> 00:18:25,268 Speaker 5: was shorter than you are, I mean, especially at the 429 00:18:25,308 --> 00:18:28,068 Speaker 5: quarterback here. That's another shot. By the way, cale that's 430 00:18:28,068 --> 00:18:29,068 Speaker 5: true what I'm here for. 431 00:18:29,548 --> 00:18:31,308 Speaker 1: I'm on the same thing, though, I think, especially a 432 00:18:31,348 --> 00:18:33,788 Speaker 1: quarterback who's drafted number one overall, I think it's takes 433 00:18:33,788 --> 00:18:36,188 Speaker 1: a long time to gain your teammates respects, but you 434 00:18:36,228 --> 00:18:38,948 Speaker 1: can lose it very quickly, very quickly if you show 435 00:18:39,028 --> 00:18:39,708 Speaker 1: up the wrong way. 436 00:18:40,028 --> 00:18:41,188 Speaker 5: Showing up and shutting. 437 00:18:40,908 --> 00:18:42,548 Speaker 1: Up is a difficult thing to do these days because 438 00:18:42,588 --> 00:18:44,868 Speaker 1: it's always about the gram and the outfit and whatever. 439 00:18:44,668 --> 00:18:46,548 Speaker 5: The hell it is. Seems like he's doing it. I 440 00:18:46,588 --> 00:18:47,948 Speaker 5: love every time we show him. 441 00:18:48,068 --> 00:18:50,708 Speaker 1: He's always out there working his butt off with Josh McCown, 442 00:18:50,908 --> 00:18:53,308 Speaker 1: who could not be a more different quarterback than him, 443 00:18:53,668 --> 00:18:56,308 Speaker 1: massive statue esque guy, teaching him all the nuances of 444 00:18:56,348 --> 00:18:58,108 Speaker 1: the game. I look at it like I used to 445 00:18:58,108 --> 00:19:00,388 Speaker 1: watch Survivor all the time, and the people who would 446 00:19:00,388 --> 00:19:02,508 Speaker 1: show up on the first day at camp and get eliminated. 447 00:19:02,548 --> 00:19:05,148 Speaker 1: Are these loud mouths who are like, I'm taking control here, 448 00:19:05,308 --> 00:19:06,028 Speaker 1: I'm the alpha. 449 00:19:06,148 --> 00:19:06,828 Speaker 5: You're out of here. 450 00:19:07,188 --> 00:19:09,388 Speaker 1: Show up, shut up, help build the the you know, 451 00:19:09,428 --> 00:19:11,868 Speaker 1: the shelter, and help find the water and just chill 452 00:19:11,988 --> 00:19:14,428 Speaker 1: for a while, work, chill, shut up. We haven't really 453 00:19:14,468 --> 00:19:16,508 Speaker 1: heard any crazy sound bites from him. I don't think 454 00:19:16,548 --> 00:19:17,628 Speaker 1: we will. I like how I was handing. 455 00:19:17,868 --> 00:19:19,788 Speaker 5: Goals in the locker room too. They have plenty to 456 00:19:19,788 --> 00:19:20,188 Speaker 5: go around. 457 00:19:20,348 --> 00:19:23,308 Speaker 2: They're not Their wide receiver corps is not. It's not 458 00:19:23,428 --> 00:19:25,748 Speaker 2: some team that you're like, oh Man, Bryce Young is 459 00:19:25,788 --> 00:19:27,068 Speaker 2: really going to have his work cut out for him. 460 00:19:27,108 --> 00:19:29,228 Speaker 2: They draft a wide receiver. They got Adam Theleen from 461 00:19:29,228 --> 00:19:32,508 Speaker 2: the Vikings. I'm not surprised by this comparison whatsoever. Actually, 462 00:19:32,748 --> 00:19:35,388 Speaker 2: the question at hand was about the leadership, and that's 463 00:19:35,388 --> 00:19:38,068 Speaker 2: where Vaughon Bell took it. Because they're too They're built 464 00:19:38,188 --> 00:19:41,628 Speaker 2: very differently. But the magnetic draw that I think these 465 00:19:41,628 --> 00:19:43,948 Speaker 2: two guys have from a cool factor and X factor 466 00:19:44,108 --> 00:19:45,708 Speaker 2: kind of has a gal and hurd survit him and 467 00:19:45,788 --> 00:19:47,588 Speaker 2: people just want to be around him. And it's so 468 00:19:47,708 --> 00:19:49,828 Speaker 2: great to watch Bryce Young warming up with Andy Dalton 469 00:19:49,868 --> 00:19:50,628 Speaker 2: as well on the Rust. 470 00:19:50,748 --> 00:19:53,868 Speaker 1: Andy Daughton's on the Panthers, great venerable guy, been around, 471 00:19:53,868 --> 00:19:55,148 Speaker 1: He'll teach him a lot of things. 472 00:19:55,268 --> 00:19:57,148 Speaker 5: I think I disrespected him yesterday. I didn't mean Andy, 473 00:19:57,148 --> 00:19:57,468 Speaker 5: I love you. 474 00:19:57,548 --> 00:20:00,228 Speaker 3: I really was sick, Santa. We learned something new every day. 475 00:20:00,268 --> 00:20:02,788 Speaker 2: Finally, Friend of the show, Jamal Williams is now a 476 00:20:02,828 --> 00:20:04,828 Speaker 2: New Orleans saint and it's honestly, we're I'm surprised it 477 00:20:04,868 --> 00:20:06,108 Speaker 2: took this long for him to come out and have 478 00:20:06,268 --> 00:20:09,348 Speaker 2: a controversial take. He was asked if he tried a 479 00:20:09,428 --> 00:20:12,468 Speaker 2: New Orleans delicacy in the beignet, and here's his take. 480 00:20:14,068 --> 00:20:16,628 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not in dressed. There's just a funnel cake. 481 00:20:17,068 --> 00:20:19,628 Speaker 5: It's just a funnel cake. So yeah, the beignats is 482 00:20:19,668 --> 00:20:22,748 Speaker 5: just a funnel cake. I'm sorry, I'm I'm not. I 483 00:20:22,868 --> 00:20:25,988 Speaker 5: just got here. I respect all your vignettes and all that. 484 00:20:26,788 --> 00:20:29,828 Speaker 5: In California we just call them funnel cakes. So well, 485 00:20:29,948 --> 00:20:30,988 Speaker 5: thats is where we know him. 486 00:20:30,988 --> 00:20:34,108 Speaker 1: Man. I tasted it tastes just like a funnel. 487 00:20:33,788 --> 00:20:36,508 Speaker 5: Cake, so that's all. But it's good though, if you 488 00:20:36,628 --> 00:20:37,388 Speaker 5: like funnel cakes. 489 00:20:40,588 --> 00:20:41,148 Speaker 10: I'm just good. 490 00:20:41,508 --> 00:20:43,308 Speaker 3: I'm supposed to always. I'm gonna just take this one. 491 00:20:43,348 --> 00:20:44,988 Speaker 3: We're gonna start with food. I want to lead off 492 00:20:44,988 --> 00:20:45,148 Speaker 3: with you. 493 00:20:47,508 --> 00:20:50,268 Speaker 2: I feel insulted for the funnel cake. Honestly, like, I'm 494 00:20:50,308 --> 00:20:53,028 Speaker 2: not impressed. It's just like a funnel cake. Friend, are 495 00:20:53,028 --> 00:20:55,548 Speaker 2: you then therefore not impressed by funnel cakes? Because now 496 00:20:55,548 --> 00:20:58,028 Speaker 2: we're having a problem people who are trying it's a 497 00:20:58,068 --> 00:21:01,148 Speaker 2: shoe pastry to do. There's a shoe pastry category. Funnel 498 00:21:01,148 --> 00:21:03,468 Speaker 2: cakes and Beignet's are all under that. They take lukewarm 499 00:21:03,508 --> 00:21:06,308 Speaker 2: water and fly or beignetti. And so when you make 500 00:21:06,348 --> 00:21:08,348 Speaker 2: a bignetti and you put this the flour on it 501 00:21:08,428 --> 00:21:11,428 Speaker 2: or the powdered sugar, it's tremendous. But the fact that 502 00:21:11,668 --> 00:21:14,028 Speaker 2: if you're a funnel cake guy, Jean Williams, what are 503 00:21:14,068 --> 00:21:15,108 Speaker 2: you even doing your whole life? 504 00:21:15,148 --> 00:21:16,908 Speaker 3: You didn't go to carnivals growing up. 505 00:21:17,388 --> 00:21:20,788 Speaker 2: Anything with powdered sugar on it is tremendous. I'm not 506 00:21:20,788 --> 00:21:23,908 Speaker 2: impressed with you, friend, for not having a great dessert palette. 507 00:21:24,068 --> 00:21:26,028 Speaker 3: Just don't be insulted by the parallel. 508 00:21:26,108 --> 00:21:28,028 Speaker 2: Be insulted by the fact that Jamal Leans doesn't like 509 00:21:28,508 --> 00:21:29,828 Speaker 2: the shoe past street category. 510 00:21:31,268 --> 00:21:31,748 Speaker 5: The same thing. 511 00:21:32,028 --> 00:21:33,908 Speaker 3: He said, Benya goes hand in hand. 512 00:21:34,068 --> 00:21:36,828 Speaker 5: Ben Yet is good handed in he said. He wasn't impressed. 513 00:21:36,828 --> 00:21:39,068 Speaker 3: He's not impressed. It's like a funnel cake. 514 00:21:39,228 --> 00:21:43,108 Speaker 7: Oh no, you got no, he said, Bennet's they're good 515 00:21:43,388 --> 00:21:45,308 Speaker 7: if you like funnel cakes. What he's saying is, I 516 00:21:45,308 --> 00:21:47,948 Speaker 7: show up to New Orleans and everybody's telling me about 517 00:21:47,948 --> 00:21:48,668 Speaker 7: this great. 518 00:21:48,468 --> 00:21:51,228 Speaker 5: Thing, these Beignet's. You only can get them in New Orleans. 519 00:21:51,268 --> 00:21:52,708 Speaker 5: They're amazing. You gotta try. 520 00:21:53,028 --> 00:21:55,868 Speaker 7: And he's just like, oh, I've had this before. I've 521 00:21:55,868 --> 00:21:58,148 Speaker 7: gone to plenty of carnivals as a kid. It's the 522 00:21:58,188 --> 00:22:00,108 Speaker 7: same thing as a funnel cake. They just did it 523 00:22:00,148 --> 00:22:02,748 Speaker 7: in a different shape. Like, no disrespect to you New 524 00:22:02,828 --> 00:22:05,428 Speaker 7: Orleans people, but you didn't create this thing. Funnel cakes 525 00:22:05,428 --> 00:22:08,188 Speaker 7: are all over the country. You just decided to give 526 00:22:08,188 --> 00:22:11,268 Speaker 7: it a different name. A Beignet, a Beignetti, a Benyatti, 527 00:22:11,468 --> 00:22:13,228 Speaker 7: whatever you want to call it. At the end of 528 00:22:13,308 --> 00:22:15,748 Speaker 7: the day, if you like it, come on up to 529 00:22:15,748 --> 00:22:17,788 Speaker 7: where I'm from. I'll give you a funnel cake and 530 00:22:17,828 --> 00:22:19,388 Speaker 7: you'll say, Wow, this is really good. 531 00:22:19,588 --> 00:22:21,388 Speaker 5: It tastes like I've had it before. 532 00:22:21,508 --> 00:22:23,268 Speaker 2: But if he liked it, he would say, I'm a 533 00:22:23,268 --> 00:22:26,588 Speaker 2: fan of Beignetti's because I love funnel cakes. He did 534 00:22:26,628 --> 00:22:29,108 Speaker 2: not say that. He's not that pressed. It's like a 535 00:22:29,108 --> 00:22:29,668 Speaker 2: funnel cake. 536 00:22:29,708 --> 00:22:30,708 Speaker 5: I'm with you, Jamie. Thanks. 537 00:22:30,788 --> 00:22:32,788 Speaker 4: That's exactly what he said and what he meant. I 538 00:22:32,868 --> 00:22:36,348 Speaker 4: think he went to the wrong Beignetti Begnyatti place, That's 539 00:22:36,348 --> 00:22:37,428 Speaker 4: what I think it was. 540 00:22:37,468 --> 00:22:40,148 Speaker 5: In New Orleans. They should all be good. He must 541 00:22:40,188 --> 00:22:42,188 Speaker 5: have found a bad one. Somehow because I. 542 00:22:42,108 --> 00:22:49,388 Speaker 4: Love Begnettes Begnattis, and well. 543 00:22:49,228 --> 00:22:51,428 Speaker 1: Clearly what happened here is the context is that the 544 00:22:51,468 --> 00:22:53,908 Speaker 1: Begnatties were built up for him significantly. 545 00:22:54,148 --> 00:22:54,788 Speaker 5: The second you. 546 00:22:54,748 --> 00:22:56,788 Speaker 1: Say New Orleans, everyone's like, oh, you gotta get the 547 00:22:56,788 --> 00:22:58,428 Speaker 1: bignet you get the Vignet's, and he gets them, and 548 00:22:58,468 --> 00:23:00,868 Speaker 1: he's like, it's just funnel cake like that was. 549 00:23:00,948 --> 00:23:02,548 Speaker 5: It's like, it's the same thing repurposed. 550 00:23:02,588 --> 00:23:04,828 Speaker 1: But that's kind of the trick of the trade here 551 00:23:04,828 --> 00:23:05,908 Speaker 1: with a lot of delicious food. 552 00:23:06,148 --> 00:23:07,508 Speaker 5: Like I got news for you, Jamal. 553 00:23:08,228 --> 00:23:10,468 Speaker 1: A taco is just a burrito that's not wrap. It's 554 00:23:10,468 --> 00:23:12,588 Speaker 1: the same thing. It's the same ingredients. You can put 555 00:23:12,628 --> 00:23:14,148 Speaker 1: it in a bowl, you can put it in a enchilada, 556 00:23:14,188 --> 00:23:17,268 Speaker 1: it's the same deal. They're all delicious and whatever medium 557 00:23:17,268 --> 00:23:19,188 Speaker 1: you can get. The deep fried powdered sugar on top 558 00:23:19,268 --> 00:23:21,228 Speaker 1: is fantastic. I think it was over promised for you 559 00:23:21,268 --> 00:23:23,148 Speaker 1: a little bit. The Begnettes are excellent. 560 00:23:23,228 --> 00:23:23,708 Speaker 10: Just try them. 561 00:23:23,748 --> 00:23:24,748 Speaker 5: Maybe try them and. 562 00:23:24,788 --> 00:23:26,348 Speaker 1: The fun If there's a if there's a carnival in 563 00:23:26,348 --> 00:23:28,148 Speaker 1: New Orleans, could you get the same ones at the 564 00:23:28,148 --> 00:23:28,708 Speaker 1: same place. 565 00:23:28,748 --> 00:23:29,868 Speaker 5: I don't know, I've never been to one. 566 00:23:29,908 --> 00:23:31,668 Speaker 2: There's a funnel cake stand in a Beignet stand. It's 567 00:23:31,748 --> 00:23:33,908 Speaker 2: kind of like when rookies come in here. Kyle tells him, 568 00:23:33,948 --> 00:23:35,148 Speaker 2: have you been to New York? Have you had a 569 00:23:35,188 --> 00:23:35,868 Speaker 2: slice of pizza? 570 00:23:35,908 --> 00:23:38,788 Speaker 1: Go to tomorrow. Great, it's a Fenex slice.

I'm behalvyans. 579 00:23:56,988 --> 00:23:59,588 Speaker 5: Oh, Tiana, Really, she's getting your own ride at Disney World. 580 00:23:59,588 --> 00:24:00,668 Speaker 5: She's coming, She's coming up now. 581 00:24:00,668 --> 00:24:02,348 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, but the Beignet is on the mat 582 00:24:02,428 --> 00:24:03,988 Speaker 1: Splash Mountain is not going to be the Tiana ride. 583 00:24:03,988 --> 00:24:04,388 Speaker 5: I'm telling you. 584 00:24:07,988 --> 00:24:10,268 Speaker 3: Hey, we're back on Good Morning Football. We now welcome 585 00:24:10,348 --> 00:24:10,708 Speaker 3: to the show. 586 00:24:10,748 --> 00:24:14,428 Speaker 2: A former general manager, assistant GM, VP of Player Personnel, 587 00:24:14,508 --> 00:24:16,108 Speaker 2: all the things. He won three Super Bowls with the 588 00:24:16,148 --> 00:24:19,228 Speaker 2: New England Patriots. Now we rely on him as our 589 00:24:19,268 --> 00:24:21,308 Speaker 2: front office analyst here at NFL Network. 590 00:24:21,388 --> 00:24:21,788 Speaker 5: What's up? 591 00:24:21,788 --> 00:24:25,668 Speaker 11: Scott, Good morning everyone, Good morning. 592 00:24:27,468 --> 00:24:29,908 Speaker 2: You are in Chicago right now checking in embarrassed camp. 593 00:24:29,988 --> 00:24:32,148 Speaker 2: I see, but I want to take you to Denver 594 00:24:32,548 --> 00:24:35,028 Speaker 2: by way of New York, Scott. 595 00:24:35,068 --> 00:24:36,588 Speaker 3: The comments by Broncos. 596 00:24:36,268 --> 00:24:39,988 Speaker 2: Head coach on Peyton, they rippled across the headlines last week, 597 00:24:40,268 --> 00:24:42,388 Speaker 2: as did the response then to our own Peter Scheger 598 00:24:42,428 --> 00:24:45,428 Speaker 2: from Aaron Rodgers and Robert Sala. It is common for 599 00:24:45,468 --> 00:24:47,388 Speaker 2: players to go back and forth with one another, but 600 00:24:47,468 --> 00:24:50,188 Speaker 2: you don't see coaches doing it that often. What was 601 00:24:50,188 --> 00:24:53,148 Speaker 2: your take as this situation has unfolded from a front 602 00:24:53,148 --> 00:24:54,188 Speaker 2: office perspective? 603 00:24:55,108 --> 00:24:57,148 Speaker 11: Yeah, Jamie, you know, as I watch this, you know, 604 00:24:57,548 --> 00:25:00,708 Speaker 11: no one knows and can people can only speculate as 605 00:25:00,708 --> 00:25:03,908 Speaker 11: to why Sean Payton said what he said and why 606 00:25:03,948 --> 00:25:06,788 Speaker 11: he talked to certain individuals. It wasn't just a Nathaniel 607 00:25:06,828 --> 00:25:10,308 Speaker 11: Hackett that he targeted. It was the general manager, George Payton, 608 00:25:10,388 --> 00:25:14,108 Speaker 11: it was the president Demani Leach and to say these things. 609 00:25:14,148 --> 00:25:17,148 Speaker 10: I was taken back by it. But again we don't know. 610 00:25:17,468 --> 00:25:18,868 Speaker 11: You know, we hear these stories that he was trying 611 00:25:18,868 --> 00:25:20,708 Speaker 11: to motivate his quarterback, he was trying to bring his 612 00:25:20,748 --> 00:25:21,428 Speaker 11: team together. 613 00:25:21,868 --> 00:25:23,268 Speaker 10: I just saw this through a. 614 00:25:23,188 --> 00:25:25,668 Speaker 11: Different lens, and I saw it through the lens was 615 00:25:26,388 --> 00:25:29,388 Speaker 11: the fact is this happened eight months ago. Everyone knows 616 00:25:29,428 --> 00:25:32,388 Speaker 11: what the Broncos season was last season, everyone has commented 617 00:25:32,428 --> 00:25:35,308 Speaker 11: on it. Everyone knows what happened and that people were fired. 618 00:25:35,908 --> 00:25:37,388 Speaker 11: And I looked at it through the lens of being 619 00:25:37,428 --> 00:25:39,908 Speaker 11: someone that had been fired. Everyone in this league has 620 00:25:39,948 --> 00:25:42,348 Speaker 11: been fired at some point in time. And the fact 621 00:25:42,428 --> 00:25:45,908 Speaker 11: is this it doesn't impact just the person that sits 622 00:25:45,908 --> 00:25:48,748 Speaker 11: in the chair. It impacts their families, It impacts their children. 623 00:25:49,228 --> 00:25:52,308 Speaker 11: So to me, I was taken back by the fact 624 00:25:52,348 --> 00:25:54,388 Speaker 11: that there was someone that was within the industry that 625 00:25:54,508 --> 00:25:57,068 Speaker 11: understands the ripple effect that it has amongst not just 626 00:25:57,108 --> 00:26:00,228 Speaker 11: the individual, but how it impacts again the play of 627 00:26:00,268 --> 00:26:03,708 Speaker 11: the person's family and what that means to them. So 628 00:26:03,828 --> 00:26:05,948 Speaker 11: to me, I was already taken back by it. Didn't 629 00:26:06,028 --> 00:26:08,588 Speaker 11: understand it, don't understand it. But I'm sure at some 630 00:26:08,668 --> 00:26:11,188 Speaker 11: point in time Sean will explain it a little bit more. 631 00:26:11,508 --> 00:26:13,948 Speaker 10: But again, I guess disappointing is the war. 632 00:26:13,868 --> 00:26:16,388 Speaker 11: That really comes to my mind because you just don't 633 00:26:16,428 --> 00:26:20,748 Speaker 11: see people within the game, you know, taking shots at 634 00:26:20,788 --> 00:26:23,868 Speaker 11: other people within the game unnecessarily and untimely. 635 00:26:25,268 --> 00:26:28,108 Speaker 7: Yeah, Jonathan Taylor was taken back too by some comments 636 00:26:28,108 --> 00:26:31,428 Speaker 7: made by possibly as owner Jim Ersa as headlines now 637 00:26:31,468 --> 00:26:34,748 Speaker 7: I've talked about Jonathan Taylor requesting a trade. 638 00:26:34,428 --> 00:26:35,748 Speaker 5: Out of Indianapolis. 639 00:26:36,108 --> 00:26:38,788 Speaker 7: Well since then, Mike Garrilfala has reported that the Colts 640 00:26:38,828 --> 00:26:42,068 Speaker 7: running back Zach Mass has suffered a broken arm and 641 00:26:42,268 --> 00:26:44,028 Speaker 7: expected to miss six weeks. 642 00:26:44,068 --> 00:26:45,028 Speaker 5: Scott, when all of. 643 00:26:44,988 --> 00:26:47,508 Speaker 7: This is going down, star player wants to be traded, 644 00:26:47,508 --> 00:26:50,148 Speaker 7: but now backup is injured. What is that mindset and 645 00:26:50,148 --> 00:26:52,628 Speaker 7: the impact of the front office with now dealing with 646 00:26:52,708 --> 00:26:54,148 Speaker 7: Taylor's contract negotiations. 647 00:26:55,228 --> 00:26:58,148 Speaker 11: You know, when you're a team and regardless of what 648 00:26:58,268 --> 00:27:01,588 Speaker 11: side you're on, you generally have confidence in your negotiation 649 00:27:01,828 --> 00:27:04,348 Speaker 11: and your stance. And I think that the Colts had 650 00:27:04,468 --> 00:27:06,388 Speaker 11: that because they knew that they had a good backup 651 00:27:06,428 --> 00:27:08,708 Speaker 11: that they felt good about, maybe not great about, but 652 00:27:08,788 --> 00:27:10,268 Speaker 11: you have this degree of confidence. 653 00:27:10,548 --> 00:27:13,068 Speaker 10: What happened was reality is set in and they saw 654 00:27:13,108 --> 00:27:13,628 Speaker 10: what life. 655 00:27:13,548 --> 00:27:15,948 Speaker 11: Can look like if they have if they're without both 656 00:27:15,988 --> 00:27:18,788 Speaker 11: they're starting running back and their backup running back. But 657 00:27:18,868 --> 00:27:21,828 Speaker 11: here's what stands out to me the most about the situation. 658 00:27:22,148 --> 00:27:27,628 Speaker 11: I'm a firm believer in never talking publicly about contract negotiations, because, 659 00:27:28,108 --> 00:27:31,508 Speaker 11: whether purposefully or inadvertently, there's a chance that you were 660 00:27:31,548 --> 00:27:34,548 Speaker 11: going to say something that is disrespectful to a player, 661 00:27:34,908 --> 00:27:37,908 Speaker 11: and that manifests itself in a couple of ways. It 662 00:27:37,948 --> 00:27:40,828 Speaker 11: creates a problem with the player, because players are competitive. 663 00:27:41,068 --> 00:27:45,308 Speaker 11: When you start taking their personal business and their negotiation public, 664 00:27:45,988 --> 00:27:49,068 Speaker 11: they're going to react, and it's not usually a good reaction. 665 00:27:49,148 --> 00:27:51,068 Speaker 11: The other thing is you've got a locker room full 666 00:27:51,108 --> 00:27:53,988 Speaker 11: of players that are watching how you're handling that player 667 00:27:54,148 --> 00:27:56,388 Speaker 11: personally and how you're handling. 668 00:27:56,028 --> 00:27:57,268 Speaker 10: That player publicly. 669 00:27:57,788 --> 00:28:01,988 Speaker 11: So to me, the idea of taking this negotiation public, 670 00:28:02,108 --> 00:28:05,468 Speaker 11: talking about the player publicly, big mistake on behalf of 671 00:28:05,508 --> 00:28:06,148 Speaker 11: the organization. 672 00:28:06,228 --> 00:28:08,428 Speaker 10: It's just something you should never ever do. 673 00:28:08,748 --> 00:28:10,828 Speaker 11: It's just going to make things more difficult, not only 674 00:28:10,908 --> 00:28:14,268 Speaker 11: in this negotiation but in future negotiations with other players. 675 00:28:15,668 --> 00:28:19,108 Speaker 1: Well, Scott, there's someone who chooses their words very specifically 676 00:28:19,188 --> 00:28:21,228 Speaker 1: in public, and that's Ryan Poles, the GM at the 677 00:28:21,268 --> 00:28:23,748 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. You're there at the Bear's facility. Even spending 678 00:28:23,748 --> 00:28:26,028 Speaker 1: time around the Bears, you got to spend some time 679 00:28:26,068 --> 00:28:29,388 Speaker 1: with Poles. Big dude, a little bit stoic, and he's 680 00:28:29,388 --> 00:28:32,308 Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do with the Chicago Bears. 681 00:28:32,508 --> 00:28:34,948 Speaker 5: What stood out to you about the conversations you had with. 682 00:28:34,988 --> 00:28:38,628 Speaker 11: Him, Kyle, you do everything every way that you just 683 00:28:38,628 --> 00:28:41,788 Speaker 11: described him is exactly accurate. And I've known Poles since 684 00:28:41,988 --> 00:28:44,108 Speaker 11: I hired him in two thousand and nine in Kansas City, 685 00:28:44,508 --> 00:28:49,068 Speaker 11: and Poles is this great combination of strength, confidence, intelligence, 686 00:28:49,548 --> 00:28:50,508 Speaker 11: and humility. 687 00:28:50,588 --> 00:28:52,868 Speaker 10: He's also got a great deal of empathy. One of 688 00:28:52,868 --> 00:28:54,668 Speaker 10: the things I went to dinner with him the other night. 689 00:28:54,708 --> 00:28:56,468 Speaker 11: We talked about a bunch of things off the record, 690 00:28:56,508 --> 00:29:00,388 Speaker 11: but he was very open about his relationships with Flus 691 00:29:00,468 --> 00:29:02,588 Speaker 11: the head coach, but also with Kevin Warren. 692 00:29:02,428 --> 00:29:02,948 Speaker 10: The president. 693 00:29:03,508 --> 00:29:06,588 Speaker 11: And a lot of time people will focus on specifically 694 00:29:06,668 --> 00:29:08,908 Speaker 11: just the on the field product, right, and at the 695 00:29:08,988 --> 00:29:12,988 Speaker 11: end of the day, that's what matters. But sometimes on 696 00:29:13,068 --> 00:29:16,348 Speaker 11: the field, the players can perform better if there's a 697 00:29:16,388 --> 00:29:20,108 Speaker 11: better team, not only on the field in the locker room, 698 00:29:20,148 --> 00:29:22,548 Speaker 11: but people that are together. What I saw with Poles 699 00:29:22,548 --> 00:29:25,468 Speaker 11: and heard from Poles was how collaborative he was, how 700 00:29:25,548 --> 00:29:28,108 Speaker 11: much he loved Flues, how much he loves Kevin Warren, 701 00:29:28,348 --> 00:29:29,708 Speaker 11: and how this is working together. 702 00:29:29,748 --> 00:29:31,908 Speaker 10: And I'm a firm believer. I'm not worried about Poles 703 00:29:31,908 --> 00:29:32,388 Speaker 10: the talent. 704 00:29:32,228 --> 00:29:35,428 Speaker 11: Evaluator, because he's outstanding as a talent evaluator. What I 705 00:29:35,468 --> 00:29:38,428 Speaker 11: loved and what I saw is this team is together. 706 00:29:38,948 --> 00:29:39,628 Speaker 11: This is a team I. 707 00:29:39,708 --> 00:29:40,908 Speaker 10: Understand how many games they won. 708 00:29:41,268 --> 00:29:43,388 Speaker 11: This is not going to be a jump from three 709 00:29:43,548 --> 00:29:45,868 Speaker 11: to you know, maybe winning the division. But this is 710 00:29:45,908 --> 00:29:49,348 Speaker 11: an improving football team that is going to happen because 711 00:29:49,388 --> 00:29:53,348 Speaker 11: there is teamwork that is throughout the organization and a 712 00:29:53,388 --> 00:29:57,268 Speaker 11: great deal of confidence and humility and transparency with one another. 713 00:30:00,388 --> 00:30:03,628 Speaker 4: Scott, you have an article out right now on NFL 714 00:30:03,788 --> 00:30:07,268 Speaker 4: dot com where you make the case for Ozzie Newton 715 00:30:07,468 --> 00:30:10,508 Speaker 4: to become the first ever to be inducted into the 716 00:30:10,548 --> 00:30:11,668 Speaker 4: Pro Football Hall of Fame. 717 00:30:12,268 --> 00:30:12,908 Speaker 10: Twice. 718 00:30:13,388 --> 00:30:17,428 Speaker 4: Tell me why is this story so important to you now, Dante. 719 00:30:17,508 --> 00:30:20,068 Speaker 11: Everyone knows about Ozzie's playing career and how great he was. 720 00:30:20,108 --> 00:30:22,468 Speaker 11: You know, I was so fortunate to be with Ozzie, 721 00:30:23,068 --> 00:30:25,228 Speaker 11: you know, when he transitioned from the time as a 722 00:30:25,268 --> 00:30:28,148 Speaker 11: player and then five years later becoming the head of 723 00:30:28,148 --> 00:30:31,548 Speaker 11: an organization he worked in Cleveland. I worked alongside him 724 00:30:31,628 --> 00:30:34,788 Speaker 11: and watched him as a leader, watch him develop into 725 00:30:34,828 --> 00:30:38,148 Speaker 11: a leader, not the football leader on the field, but 726 00:30:38,188 --> 00:30:40,428 Speaker 11: the leader in the front office and a decision maker. 727 00:30:40,468 --> 00:30:45,508 Speaker 11: I got to see someone who was spectacularly collaborative, thoughtful, smart, 728 00:30:45,748 --> 00:30:49,708 Speaker 11: ask questions, and genuinely humble. You look at the body 729 00:30:49,748 --> 00:30:52,548 Speaker 11: of work in Ozzie's career as a player, I'm clearly 730 00:30:52,588 --> 00:30:54,948 Speaker 11: a Hall of Famer, he's there, But you look at 731 00:30:54,948 --> 00:30:57,708 Speaker 11: his body work as an executive and a leader of 732 00:30:57,748 --> 00:31:00,108 Speaker 11: a franchise and someone who drafted well and did a 733 00:31:00,108 --> 00:31:03,028 Speaker 11: great job in free agency. There's never been an NFL 734 00:31:03,228 --> 00:31:06,108 Speaker 11: or a Pro football player or a member of pro 735 00:31:06,108 --> 00:31:09,908 Speaker 11: football community that's been inducted twice. It's happened in other sports. 736 00:31:09,948 --> 00:31:11,348 Speaker 11: If you get a chance to look at the article 737 00:31:11,388 --> 00:31:13,468 Speaker 11: I write a little bit about that. But I really 738 00:31:13,468 --> 00:31:16,708 Speaker 11: believe that Ozzy is absolutely someone who has had a 739 00:31:16,828 --> 00:31:18,228 Speaker 11: second Hall of Fame career. 740 00:31:19,388 --> 00:31:22,268 Speaker 1: It's an incredible thing, a double dipper. He deserves all that. 741 00:31:22,308 --> 00:31:24,188 Speaker 1: Scott and I love. Do you make the case you 742 00:31:24,188 --> 00:31:25,828 Speaker 1: are in the Bears facility right now?
