00:01:03,628 --> 00:01:06,308
Speaker 6: Watching last night, Like I got to know all these players.

19
00:01:05,908 --> 00:01:08,068
Speaker 5: And I know a lot of the Titans guys just

20
00:01:08,108 --> 00:01:10,028

00:01:10,108 --> 00:01:12,108
Speaker 5: that every day, We follow all of these guys. But yeah,

22
00:01:12,108 --> 00:01:12,348
Speaker 5: no doubt.

23
00:01:12,348 --> 00:01:14,468
Speaker 7: I'm going to take something about college football fans. The

24
00:01:14,548 --> 00:01:16,308
Speaker 7: thing is, if you don't know their players' names or

25
00:01:16,308 --> 00:01:16,828
Speaker 7: you get them wrong.

26
00:01:16,868 --> 00:01:17,748
Speaker 6: They're totally cool with it.

27
00:01:17,988 --> 00:01:22,228
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're very forgiven. If you just fly and do

28
00:01:22,348 --> 00:01:23,988
Speaker 7: a game and act like you've never seen him before,

29
00:01:24,028 --> 00:01:24,428
Speaker 7: they love that.

30
00:01:24,508 --> 00:01:26,028
Speaker 5: I love that.

31
00:01:26,428 --> 00:01:27,588
Speaker 4: Go well, good luck to you.

32
00:01:27,708 --> 00:01:28,068
Speaker 5: Thank you.

33
00:01:28,108 --> 00:01:31,028
Speaker 3: As we insured that, we want to turn the page

34
00:01:31,068 --> 00:01:33,988
Speaker 3: to Week one and really talk about a player, team, coach,

35
00:01:34,028 --> 00:01:37,068
Speaker 3: fan base, anything that pertains to the NFL that you

36
00:01:37,148 --> 00:01:41,228
Speaker 3: think Jason won your twenty twenty three preseason Jay who

37
00:01:41,268 --> 00:01:41,748
Speaker 3: took the crown?

38
00:01:41,868 --> 00:01:43,268
Speaker 5: Well, I'm not going to talk about the Jets. I'm

39
00:01:43,268 --> 00:01:45,188
Speaker 5: not going to talk about Aaron Rodgers have done that enough.

40
00:01:45,228 --> 00:01:48,148
Speaker 5: I'm going to go backwards and not from Aaron Rodgers

41
00:01:48,228 --> 00:01:50,508
Speaker 5: and the Jets. I'm going Jordan Love and the Green

42
00:01:50,828 --> 00:01:53,588
Speaker 5: Bay Packers. All we talked about all off season is

43
00:01:53,588 --> 00:01:55,868
Speaker 5: green Bay. They left this Hall of Fame guy out

44
00:01:55,868 --> 00:01:57,868
Speaker 5: the door, basically told them they didn't want them because

45
00:01:57,908 --> 00:02:00,668
Speaker 5: they were ready for the Jordan Love era. In all

46
00:02:00,708 --> 00:02:03,068
Speaker 5: off season, just like, who the hell is this Jordan

47
00:02:03,148 --> 00:02:05,508
Speaker 5: Love guy? Can he play? We've seen him in glimpses.

48
00:02:05,868 --> 00:02:08,428
Speaker 5: Is he ready to beat QB one? Well, he's been

49
00:02:08,468 --> 00:02:10,948
Speaker 5: grooming for the past three years for this opportunity. So

50
00:02:11,028 --> 00:02:13,268
Speaker 5: let's see what he's got. And Jordan Love has come

51
00:02:13,308 --> 00:02:16,828
Speaker 5: out in the preseason, no interceptions, throwing touchdown passes, leak

52
00:02:16,908 --> 00:02:18,868
Speaker 5: in and week out. He has a look the part.

53
00:02:19,108 --> 00:02:21,708
Speaker 5: He looks like QB one And I think if you're

54
00:02:21,748 --> 00:02:23,708
Speaker 5: a Packers fan, if you're a LA floor, if you're

55
00:02:23,748 --> 00:02:26,708
Speaker 5: anybody in charge in Green Bay, this is like a

56
00:02:26,828 --> 00:02:29,268
Speaker 5: huge sigh. It's just like, this is what we were

57
00:02:29,308 --> 00:02:32,228
Speaker 5: waiting for. Red zone, don't make any mistakes. You got points,

58
00:02:32,268 --> 00:02:35,948
Speaker 5: six of six, three touchdowns and passer rating forever you

59
00:02:35,948 --> 00:02:38,188
Speaker 5: want to take that for. This has been Jordan Love

60
00:02:38,268 --> 00:02:41,028
Speaker 5: throughout the preseason. The guys look good. He's throwing the

61
00:02:41,108 --> 00:02:43,988
Speaker 5: ball well, and that is something that we've looked forward to,

62
00:02:44,028 --> 00:02:45,868
Speaker 5: and that was all the way from the very beginning

63
00:02:45,868 --> 00:02:47,268
Speaker 5: of this thing. And they all see when he was

64
00:02:47,308 --> 00:02:50,828
Speaker 5: walking into the Green Bay facility and we were like, oh, okay,

65
00:02:51,228 --> 00:02:53,788
Speaker 5: this is QB one, this is Jordan Love, and this

66
00:02:53,828 --> 00:02:57,868
Speaker 5: is him strolling in with the casual just Alan iverson

67
00:02:57,908 --> 00:03:00,108
Speaker 5: T shirt on. I remember we showed this image here

68
00:03:00,148 --> 00:03:02,468
Speaker 5: at a Slam front page of the magazine. We were like,

69
00:03:03,068 --> 00:03:05,628
Speaker 5: but we don't even really know this, but interesting, sir,

70
00:03:05,748 --> 00:03:09,308
Speaker 5: interesting looking guys. This could be fun, and Jordan Love

71
00:03:09,388 --> 00:03:11,988
Speaker 5: throughout the preseason is backed it up and he's shown

72
00:03:12,028 --> 00:03:13,708
Speaker 5: why Green Bay was ready for now. I have no

73
00:03:13,788 --> 00:03:16,748
Speaker 5: idea what the regular season will bring, but throughout the preseason,

74
00:03:16,788 --> 00:03:18,348
Speaker 5: this is what I wanted to see from Jordan Love.

75
00:03:18,428 --> 00:03:20,708
Speaker 7: Trying to think of a question about Jordan Love, like

76
00:03:20,748 --> 00:03:23,308
Speaker 7: what we're looking like if they don't win the division?

77
00:03:23,428 --> 00:03:25,348
Speaker 6: Is that a failure for Jordan Love?

78
00:03:25,428 --> 00:03:25,508
Speaker 8: Like?

79
00:03:25,828 --> 00:03:28,668
Speaker 6: Is that the expectation or is it just don't be terrible?

80
00:03:28,708 --> 00:03:28,748
Speaker 3: Like?

81
00:03:28,788 --> 00:03:30,588
Speaker 6: What are we looking for for Jordan Love this year?

82
00:03:30,668 --> 00:03:33,188
Speaker 1: That's a good question matter. It's like if nine and

83
00:03:33,268 --> 00:03:35,108
Speaker 1: eight's on the table for the Packers.

84
00:03:35,068 --> 00:03:35,828
Speaker 6: You sign right here?

85
00:03:35,988 --> 00:03:36,508
Speaker 9: Yeah?

86
00:03:36,628 --> 00:03:37,668
Speaker 6: Or are you like, no, we shouldn't.

87
00:03:37,868 --> 00:03:40,108
Speaker 1: No, there's an expectation in Green Bay like we win

88
00:03:40,308 --> 00:03:41,868
Speaker 1: and we we spent a lot to get you, and

89
00:03:41,868 --> 00:03:43,508
Speaker 1: we spent you should go out and win now, like

90
00:03:43,548 --> 00:03:44,388
Speaker 1: you should be turnkey.

91
00:03:44,468 --> 00:03:45,028
Speaker 9: I think that's the man.

92
00:03:45,068 --> 00:03:45,388
Speaker 10: I think the.

93
00:03:45,388 --> 00:03:47,428
Speaker 5: Expectation I wanted to be. No doubt that he's the

94
00:03:47,788 --> 00:03:50,468
Speaker 5: future of our future quarters. No doubt he's our guy.

95
00:03:50,508 --> 00:03:52,788
Speaker 5: We're signing them at the extension. He's the guy.

96
00:03:52,908 --> 00:03:55,708
Speaker 7: I'm going to go that route with my pick here

97
00:03:55,948 --> 00:03:58,348
Speaker 7: and it's kind of pick and then you can play

98
00:03:58,388 --> 00:03:59,668
Speaker 7: with the words here, I'm.

99
00:03:59,548 --> 00:04:00,868
Speaker 6: Going picket and pickings.

100
00:04:01,028 --> 00:04:01,908
Speaker 5: I thought the two.

101
00:04:01,708 --> 00:04:04,868
Speaker 7: Of them had an awesome summer, both viral like with

102
00:04:04,908 --> 00:04:06,028
Speaker 7: all the highlights.

103
00:04:05,588 --> 00:04:06,788
Speaker 6: That we got from the two of them.

104
00:04:06,948 --> 00:04:08,788
Speaker 5: And it started with this stuff.

105
00:04:08,548 --> 00:04:11,228
Speaker 7: At practice from like fan cameras, like we were getting

106
00:04:11,228 --> 00:04:14,948
Speaker 7: this George Pickens just one half another looking like Odell

107
00:04:15,068 --> 00:04:18,508
Speaker 7: Beckham on like routine passes and then flipping the ball

108
00:04:18,588 --> 00:04:21,908
Speaker 7: back at the rookie Joey Porter junior. And one after another,

109
00:04:21,988 --> 00:04:24,108
Speaker 7: it was like every day this summer we would be

110
00:04:24,268 --> 00:04:27,708
Speaker 7: gifted by this George Pickens freak show of a catch

111
00:04:27,788 --> 00:04:29,548
Speaker 7: in the back of the end zone. And it's real, Like,

112
00:04:29,908 --> 00:04:33,028
Speaker 7: that's not some that's not destroying.

113
00:04:32,428 --> 00:04:33,948
Speaker 9: Doing that on a YouTube video.

114
00:04:34,028 --> 00:04:37,028
Speaker 7: That is a real NFL player doing that on a

115
00:04:37,388 --> 00:04:39,468
Speaker 7: real NFL defensive vashon platform.

116
00:04:41,268 --> 00:04:42,468
Speaker 9: I know, but like that's what.

117
00:04:42,428 --> 00:04:45,068
Speaker 6: The stuff he does like, And then it.

118
00:04:45,028 --> 00:04:47,908
Speaker 7: Happens in the games and you're like, wait, are we

119
00:04:47,988 --> 00:04:52,268
Speaker 7: talking about a real QB wide receiver duo that we

120
00:04:52,348 --> 00:04:53,508
Speaker 7: have to reckon with this year?

121
00:04:53,588 --> 00:04:54,788
Speaker 6: I think it's one of these stories.

122
00:04:54,828 --> 00:04:57,308
Speaker 7: You're like it's preseason or they had their places here

123
00:04:57,348 --> 00:04:59,588
Speaker 7: and there, Like, what if Pickens comes out and has

124
00:04:59,628 --> 00:05:02,268
Speaker 7: one hundred catches and does this all? Is George Pickens

125
00:05:02,308 --> 00:05:04,548
Speaker 7: in the conference? And what if Pickett keeps up doing

126
00:05:04,628 --> 00:05:09,308
Speaker 7: what he did this preseason like Mike Tomlin starts. Can

127
00:05:09,308 --> 00:05:13,468
Speaker 7: he Pickett all three games, gets real action, goes thirteen

128
00:05:13,508 --> 00:05:17,188
Speaker 7: to fifteen, two touchdowns, interceptions, looks the part, So why

129
00:05:17,228 --> 00:05:17,988
Speaker 7: are they the winners?

130
00:05:18,028 --> 00:05:19,108
Speaker 9: Picking one fifty eight three?

131
00:05:19,228 --> 00:05:22,028
Speaker 5: He was unbelievable. Perfect if you're a passer, ratings.

132
00:05:21,988 --> 00:05:25,468
Speaker 9: The best season performance ever by a starter, m like perfect.

133
00:05:25,788 --> 00:05:28,068
Speaker 7: If you're a Steelers fan, you might have gone into

134
00:05:28,188 --> 00:05:30,708
Speaker 7: last season like I don't know twentieth overall? Pick is

135
00:05:30,748 --> 00:05:32,668
Speaker 7: he truly the future? And then he finishes the season

136
00:05:32,708 --> 00:05:34,108
Speaker 7: really good and you're like, all right, I think we

137
00:05:34,148 --> 00:05:35,748
Speaker 7: got a guy. And then you come into this year

138
00:05:35,788 --> 00:05:37,388
Speaker 7: and you have this preseason, you're like, we got our guy,

139
00:05:37,548 --> 00:05:39,748
Speaker 7: Like I feel like that's what the story is with Picket.

140
00:05:39,828 --> 00:05:41,708
Speaker 7: Then they get Pickens in the second round after a

141
00:05:41,708 --> 00:05:43,788
Speaker 7: lot of different wide receivers. I think the Steelers have

142
00:05:43,868 --> 00:05:45,468
Speaker 7: won and I can't wait to see them play in

143
00:05:45,468 --> 00:05:46,428
Speaker 7: the NFL this season.

144
00:05:46,548 --> 00:05:48,908
Speaker 1: If nobody knows I had my fantasy draft last night,

145
00:05:48,908 --> 00:05:51,388
Speaker 1: who wants to touch me? And one of the rounds

146
00:05:51,788 --> 00:05:53,708
Speaker 1: handful of rounds in you know you got your cue.

147
00:05:53,748 --> 00:05:55,748
Speaker 1: You put your guy in your queue. And I had

148
00:05:55,748 --> 00:05:58,028
Speaker 1: George Pickens in my queue and I had like nine

149
00:05:58,068 --> 00:06:00,108
Speaker 1: picks away, and just every pick I'm like, please don't

150
00:06:00,108 --> 00:06:01,948
Speaker 1: take them, Please don't take them, Please don't take and

151
00:06:02,028 --> 00:06:03,388
Speaker 1: nobody took him and I got them.

152
00:06:03,428 --> 00:06:04,908
Speaker 9: Oh, I thought it terrible.

153
00:06:04,948 --> 00:06:07,228
Speaker 6: This time the guy before you took he didn't.

154
00:06:07,588 --> 00:06:09,468
Speaker 1: And the second the guy that before me too. I

155
00:06:09,668 --> 00:06:14,268
Speaker 1: slammed that button. Give me pickings. My theory on fantasy

156
00:06:14,468 --> 00:06:16,308
Speaker 1: is you gotta get the guy the year they blow up.

157
00:06:16,468 --> 00:06:18,348
Speaker 1: You can't do it. The year after they blow up.

158
00:06:18,348 --> 00:06:19,908
Speaker 1: You can't do it when they blow up three years ago.

159
00:06:20,228 --> 00:06:23,268
Speaker 1: Get the year they explode. And I'm betting that he

160
00:06:23,308 --> 00:06:25,868
Speaker 1: explodes to he knows exploding. I'm cracking up over here

161
00:06:25,868 --> 00:06:27,508
Speaker 1: because I'm looking at a tweet to the show. He's

162
00:06:27,508 --> 00:06:30,388
Speaker 1: a guy who goes by John Savage, who describes himself

163
00:06:30,388 --> 00:06:33,628
Speaker 1: as a rabid member of Bill's Mafia okay, and he

164
00:06:33,668 --> 00:06:36,148
Speaker 1: lives in Waterville, New York, and he tweets to us

165
00:06:36,228 --> 00:06:38,068
Speaker 1: that I love GMFB last.

166
00:06:37,908 --> 00:06:39,788
Speaker 9: Year because everybody was on the Bills.

167
00:06:39,948 --> 00:06:42,828
Speaker 1: But I literally can't turn it on for more than

168
00:06:42,868 --> 00:06:46,148
Speaker 1: ten minutes or I get the gangreen vomit rolling up

169
00:06:46,188 --> 00:06:47,468
Speaker 1: the back of my throat.

170
00:06:48,228 --> 00:06:50,588
Speaker 9: John is saying what a lot of people are saying

171
00:06:50,588 --> 00:06:52,908
Speaker 9: to say, GMFB juts Jets.

172
00:06:52,908 --> 00:06:55,348
Speaker 1: He says, he gets vomiting and comes up the back

173
00:06:55,388 --> 00:06:57,708
Speaker 1: of his throat. John, I hear you, but I will

174
00:06:57,748 --> 00:07:00,268
Speaker 1: remind you it is currently the month of August.

175
00:07:01,148 --> 00:07:04,268
Speaker 9: Just wait, bab because my winner of the NFL preseason

176
00:07:04,588 --> 00:07:08,668
Speaker 9: are the very quiet Buffalo Bills. Everybody, just take it

177
00:07:08,708 --> 00:07:10,148
Speaker 9: easy and relax.

178
00:07:11,108 --> 00:07:14,108
Speaker 11: The Jets are going to do so well, and they

179
00:07:14,148 --> 00:07:17,588
Speaker 11: have a reality show and they're gonna win the Super Bowl,

180
00:07:17,588 --> 00:07:20,268
Speaker 11: and their coach runs the stadium stairs and their quarterback

181
00:07:20,308 --> 00:07:21,348
Speaker 11: goes in the darkness.

182
00:07:22,428 --> 00:07:24,748
Speaker 9: Just let it go, let it fester, let it go,

183
00:07:24,908 --> 00:07:25,828
Speaker 9: Let everybody hype.

184
00:07:25,908 --> 00:07:29,348
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Peter just did an infomercial for the Steelers. I've

185
00:07:29,388 --> 00:07:32,988
Speaker 1: done one myself. Joe Burrow, This, Joe Burrow, that Lamar.

186
00:07:33,428 --> 00:07:37,188
Speaker 1: Just be very very quiet. It's fine. Last year you

187
00:07:37,308 --> 00:07:40,148
Speaker 1: had a brass band and a vaudeville act and the

188
00:07:40,188 --> 00:07:41,868
Speaker 1: Brian sets her orchestra.

189
00:07:42,988 --> 00:07:44,268
Speaker 9: Out all the way to the super Bowl.

190
00:07:44,548 --> 00:07:48,228
Speaker 1: It didn't pan out this year. No one cares, No

191
00:07:48,308 --> 00:07:51,588
Speaker 1: one's interested. There's the new kids on the block, there's

192
00:07:51,628 --> 00:07:52,908
Speaker 1: the better kids on the block.

193
00:07:53,268 --> 00:07:54,228
Speaker 9: That is a win.

194
00:07:54,948 --> 00:07:58,508
Speaker 1: I think Buffalo is a town. Buffalo is an organization.

195
00:07:58,908 --> 00:08:01,908
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is a player, has crafted something of an

196
00:08:01,908 --> 00:08:05,468
Speaker 1: identity from when people don't believe in them, when people do.

197
00:08:05,748 --> 00:08:08,428
Speaker 1: I don't think it jives particularly well. When no one

198
00:08:08,548 --> 00:08:11,508
Speaker 1: is talking about you, that is a win. Just sit there,

199
00:08:11,748 --> 00:08:16,148
Speaker 1: shut up, swallow the gangreen, vomit back into your digestive system,

200
00:08:16,308 --> 00:08:18,108
Speaker 1: and then beat the hell out of the Jets in

201
00:08:18,188 --> 00:08:21,628
Speaker 1: week one and then you can have a little volume.

202
00:08:21,668 --> 00:08:23,388
Speaker 9: You don't want the volume now, it's nothing. This is

203
00:08:23,508 --> 00:08:25,388
Speaker 9: this hot air. What I'm saying directly to your Now,

204
00:08:25,388 --> 00:08:26,108
Speaker 9: it's nonsense.

205
00:08:26,428 --> 00:08:28,308
Speaker 2: September matters, baby, We're almost there.

206
00:08:28,628 --> 00:08:30,948
Speaker 9: Sh Jets won the pre Sason. The Bills won the

207
00:08:30,948 --> 00:08:32,348
Speaker 9: preciss by beating the Jets.

208
00:08:32,468 --> 00:08:33,268
Speaker 2: Just be it'll work out.

209
00:08:34,148 --> 00:08:34,948
Speaker 5: Trying to show back.

210
00:08:34,908 --> 00:08:37,308
Speaker 9: On that, Yes, turn it on, leaving on, always leaving on.

211
00:08:37,348 --> 00:08:38,868
Speaker 4: Yeah, it feels like we hadn't talked about the Bills

212
00:08:38,908 --> 00:08:39,588
Speaker 4: in like three months.

213
00:08:39,628 --> 00:08:40,068
Speaker 10: Don't say that.

214
00:08:40,228 --> 00:08:40,948
Speaker 4: We don't say them.

215
00:08:40,988 --> 00:08:41,988
Speaker 9: We don't say the B word.

216
00:08:42,308 --> 00:08:44,868
Speaker 4: You guys, remember three weeks ago, we were all a flutter.

217
00:08:44,948 --> 00:08:48,388
Speaker 3: We were changing segments because Ron Rivera came out during

218
00:08:48,388 --> 00:08:50,708
Speaker 3: a press conference and says, some of my players are

219
00:08:50,748 --> 00:08:53,868
Speaker 3: concerned about how Eric the Enemy is running the offense there.

220
00:08:53,868 --> 00:08:56,748
Speaker 3: Some of my players are concerned at his intensity in

221
00:08:56,788 --> 00:08:58,868
Speaker 3: which he runs his practice. And then Eric Enemy came

222
00:08:58,868 --> 00:09:00,868
Speaker 3: out and referred to Eric Enemy and the third person

223
00:09:01,068 --> 00:09:05,348
Speaker 3: like four times during his statement. As it regards I

224
00:09:05,388 --> 00:09:07,668
Speaker 3: think these guys kind of won the preseason just because

225
00:09:07,708 --> 00:09:08,588
Speaker 3: of where we started.

226
00:09:08,868 --> 00:09:10,468
Speaker 4: It was three weeks ago, it is August eighth. The

227
00:09:10,468 --> 00:09:12,468
Speaker 4: guys came out and said, this guy's intense.

228
00:09:12,508 --> 00:09:14,548
Speaker 3: He yells at me a lot. Runs his practice is

229
00:09:14,628 --> 00:09:16,828
Speaker 3: kind of interesting. The Enemy comes out and says, it's

230
00:09:16,868 --> 00:09:19,388
Speaker 3: my job to make sure I'm getting our guys to

231
00:09:19,388 --> 00:09:22,388
Speaker 3: do what I'm expecting them to do. He screams finish

232
00:09:22,388 --> 00:09:24,908
Speaker 3: at them all the time. People are saying he's a tough,

233
00:09:24,948 --> 00:09:27,468
Speaker 3: hard nosed coach. They find Sam Howell, they make him

234
00:09:27,548 --> 00:09:32,028
Speaker 3: quarterback one. They go undefeated in the preseason, they knocked

235
00:09:32,068 --> 00:09:35,548
Speaker 3: the Ravens off, and they're a streak of twenty four games.

236
00:09:35,668 --> 00:09:36,788
Speaker 4: Johan Dotson looked great.

237
00:09:36,908 --> 00:09:39,308
Speaker 3: Terry mclaurin's gonna be wide receiver one, as Peter said

238
00:09:39,308 --> 00:09:41,588
Speaker 3: to John Dotson one A. He's on Peter's list of

239
00:09:41,628 --> 00:09:44,908
Speaker 3: breakout players, and he got Brian Robinson Commanders.

240
00:09:45,028 --> 00:09:46,868
Speaker 4: Of all the things the Commanders.

241
00:09:46,388 --> 00:09:47,708
Speaker 3: Have done in the last I don't know what are

242
00:09:47,708 --> 00:09:50,268
Speaker 3: we gonna call it ten years in terms of headlines

243
00:09:50,468 --> 00:09:53,108
Speaker 3: in any month of the year to meet the Commanders

244
00:09:53,108 --> 00:09:56,348
Speaker 3: and specifically Eric Bana me and how he's running his offense,

245
00:09:56,428 --> 00:09:57,948
Speaker 3: because all of a sudden, we're not talking about how

246
00:09:57,948 --> 00:09:58,588
Speaker 3: intense he is.

247
00:09:58,748 --> 00:10:00,388
Speaker 4: We're not talking about how crazed he.

248
00:10:00,388 --> 00:10:02,868
Speaker 3: Might be during practice because it seems to be working

249
00:10:03,188 --> 00:10:05,308
Speaker 3: now again, as Jason said, we don't know what's gonna be.

250
00:10:05,268 --> 00:10:06,268
Speaker 4: Happening in mid September.

251
00:10:06,388 --> 00:10:08,508
Speaker 3: But Ron Rivera then went to bat for his offensive

252
00:10:08,508 --> 00:10:10,468
Speaker 3: coordinator a few days after that. It was just a

253
00:10:10,468 --> 00:10:12,908
Speaker 3: really clunky week and I feel like the Commanders got

254
00:10:12,948 --> 00:10:14,068
Speaker 3: it back on track is August.

255
00:10:14,188 --> 00:10:16,708
Speaker 1: The word is the schism you hear sometimes you word

256
00:10:16,748 --> 00:10:19,148
Speaker 1: that there was a schism between the OC and the

257
00:10:19,148 --> 00:10:19,548
Speaker 1: head coach.

258
00:10:19,548 --> 00:10:21,628
Speaker 9: They'd get did get back on track. They look good.

259
00:10:21,628 --> 00:10:24,028
Speaker 1: They got receivers, they got quarterbacks. Look they opened against

260
00:10:24,028 --> 00:10:26,628
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Look that's going to set any Ratians record.

261
00:10:26,628 --> 00:10:28,348
Speaker 1: Be nice to get when that open, and we'll talk about.

262
00:10:28,148 --> 00:10:29,508
Speaker 7: They already won the Super Bowl. Remember they beat the

263
00:10:29,548 --> 00:10:31,468
Speaker 7: Ravens in a preseason That's it.

264
00:10:32,708 --> 00:10:33,428
Speaker 9: That was magical.

265
00:10:33,548 --> 00:10:39,508
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, that was chaos.

266
00:10:39,868 --> 00:10:43,148
Speaker 3: That was absolutely The NFL is back with unbelievable moments

267
00:10:43,188 --> 00:10:45,468
Speaker 3: like Kyle Brant whispering on Good Morning Football. You can't

268
00:10:45,468 --> 00:10:47,948
Speaker 3: make the stuff up. The twenty twenty three season starts

269
00:10:48,028 --> 00:10:51,228
Speaker 3: when the Lions. The Lions play the Chiefs. So the

270
00:10:51,388 --> 00:10:56,628
Speaker 3: NFL Kickoff, presented by YouTube TV, watched live on September seventh,

271
00:10:56,828 --> 00:10:59,548
Speaker 3: right seven pm Eastern on NBC.

272
00:11:00,268 --> 00:11:02,868
Speaker 4: God, that's a beautiful sentence. I just love saying it.

273
00:11:03,508 --> 00:11:05,148
Speaker 3: Still to come on Good Morning Football. I love saying

274
00:11:05,188 --> 00:11:07,188
Speaker 3: that too. Fantasy season is sneaking up on us.

275
00:11:07,388 --> 00:11:07,908
Speaker 4: Kyle Brant.

276
00:11:07,948 --> 00:11:10,388
Speaker 3: If you hadn't heard has draft last night, it was

277
00:11:10,428 --> 00:11:12,348
Speaker 3: with buddies that he's had for twenty five years, which

278
00:11:12,348 --> 00:11:13,668
Speaker 3: is odd because Kyle's only thirty.

279
00:11:14,188 --> 00:11:17,388
Speaker 4: You're on the clock, Good Morning or after this segment,

280
00:11:17,428 --> 00:11:18,348
Speaker 4: come on Fantasy.

281
00:11:18,108 --> 00:11:20,108
Speaker 9: Talk after this, I'll tell you my whole roster.

282
00:11:34,428 --> 00:11:35,908
Speaker 2: Good Morning Football.

283
00:11:36,868 --> 00:11:39,868
Speaker 3: This is a challenging time of year because now I

284
00:11:39,948 --> 00:11:41,668
Speaker 3: know We're all looking forward to kick off, but teams

285
00:11:41,708 --> 00:11:43,468
Speaker 3: have to get down to fifty three. Some cuts have

286
00:11:43,548 --> 00:11:46,108
Speaker 3: already been made, Peter, I'm sure you're all over it

287
00:11:46,148 --> 00:11:47,668
Speaker 3: in terms of the moves teams are trying to make.

288
00:11:47,828 --> 00:11:50,508
Speaker 7: I debate whether it's like I was actually texting with

289
00:11:50,588 --> 00:11:54,028
Speaker 7: Tom Pellasero yesterday because he was announcing some I'm like,

290
00:11:54,108 --> 00:11:54,588
Speaker 7: do you do that?

291
00:11:54,748 --> 00:11:55,668
Speaker 6: Do you announce the cut?

292
00:11:55,788 --> 00:11:57,588
Speaker 7: He's like, it's my job, and I'm like, I don't

293
00:11:57,628 --> 00:11:59,348
Speaker 7: want to be that guy to be like, oh, I

294
00:11:59,428 --> 00:12:01,188
Speaker 7: know this guy's getting released. I'd much rather be like

295
00:12:01,228 --> 00:12:04,188
Speaker 7: this guy's getting picked up. Yeah, this year's a little different.

296
00:12:04,508 --> 00:12:07,628
Speaker 7: Remember they went from now ninety to fifty three and

297
00:12:08,028 --> 00:12:09,708
Speaker 7: one fell swoop, and that's going to happen in the

298
00:12:09,748 --> 00:12:11,668
Speaker 7: next couple of days. It's already started to happen, but

299
00:12:11,788 --> 00:12:13,628
Speaker 7: there are no more preseason games to prove yourselves. I

300
00:12:13,668 --> 00:12:15,828
Speaker 7: think cut down week and cut down Day it's like

301
00:12:15,908 --> 00:12:18,668
Speaker 7: really the unsavory part of our job because you see

302
00:12:18,708 --> 00:12:20,148
Speaker 7: a lot of names that we've been rooting for and

303
00:12:20,388 --> 00:12:21,828
Speaker 7: they're not going to make the team and hopefully they

304
00:12:21,828 --> 00:12:22,948
Speaker 7: get picked up for the practice squad.

305
00:12:22,948 --> 00:12:24,868
Speaker 6: Already, some of the guys that we've known over the

306
00:12:24,948 --> 00:12:25,588
Speaker 6: last couple years.

307
00:12:25,748 --> 00:12:26,828
Speaker 5: The first one I look at is PJ.

308
00:12:26,948 --> 00:12:27,228
Speaker 6: Walker.

309
00:12:27,308 --> 00:12:29,748
Speaker 7: We know his story at a temple, bounced around the league.

310
00:12:30,028 --> 00:12:31,868
Speaker 7: Kenyan Drake has been in league quite a bit. He

311
00:12:31,948 --> 00:12:34,508
Speaker 7: got released. Kendall Hinton, remember during Covid was the one

312
00:12:34,548 --> 00:12:37,028
Speaker 7: who started for the Broncos at quarterback, played wide receiver.

313
00:12:37,348 --> 00:12:39,188
Speaker 6: Dan Arnold, no one type Dan Arnold.

314
00:12:38,948 --> 00:12:39,308
Speaker 9: More than me.

315
00:12:39,388 --> 00:12:40,508
Speaker 6: He got got by the Eagles.

316
00:12:40,828 --> 00:12:43,668
Speaker 7: Then Christian Covington who's with the Texans, Member cow. He

317
00:12:43,708 --> 00:12:45,868
Speaker 7: played the clarinet on our show for als those years.

318
00:12:45,908 --> 00:12:46,428
Speaker 5: A great kid.

319
00:12:46,908 --> 00:12:48,988
Speaker 6: He has now been released, and there's only going to be.

320
00:12:49,028 --> 00:12:49,508
Speaker 5: More and more.

321
00:12:49,868 --> 00:12:50,868
Speaker 6: It's a tough business.

322
00:12:51,028 --> 00:12:54,268
Speaker 7: We love the NFL, but we're talking thousands of players

323
00:12:54,308 --> 00:12:55,788
Speaker 7: are going to be told you're no longer on your

324
00:12:55,828 --> 00:12:58,348
Speaker 7: team this week. Jason, you've been through it, and I

325
00:12:58,428 --> 00:13:00,668
Speaker 7: know you've been through it as a teammate, but also

326
00:13:00,708 --> 00:13:02,908
Speaker 7: have seen the business from a different point of view

327
00:13:02,948 --> 00:13:03,148
Speaker 7: than me.

328
00:13:03,468 --> 00:13:04,348
Speaker 6: What's your take on cut down?

329
00:13:05,068 --> 00:13:08,108
Speaker 5: One positive is, like you said, Tom p reporting noses,

330
00:13:08,348 --> 00:13:10,188
Speaker 5: sometimes you get released, it pops up and there's a

331
00:13:10,268 --> 00:13:11,868
Speaker 5: team that sees it and they want you and they

332
00:13:12,548 --> 00:13:14,348
Speaker 5: go after you. And I look at my career. Obviously

333
00:13:14,348 --> 00:13:16,588
Speaker 5: earlier on in my rookie year, that cut down day

334
00:13:16,748 --> 00:13:18,868
Speaker 5: was just very strenuous of wondering whether you made it

335
00:13:18,988 --> 00:13:20,828
Speaker 5: or not. But then I fast forward to my tenth

336
00:13:20,908 --> 00:13:22,468
Speaker 5: year in the NFL and it's my first year in

337
00:13:22,548 --> 00:13:24,948
Speaker 5: New England and we're going into that fourth and final

338
00:13:24,988 --> 00:13:28,148
Speaker 5: preseason game at the time, and transition to corner safety,

339
00:13:28,188 --> 00:13:30,308
Speaker 5: and I'm supposed to play one quarter in that game,

340
00:13:30,508 --> 00:13:33,028
Speaker 5: play my one quarter. Unbuckle my shoulder pads. I'm hanging

341
00:13:33,068 --> 00:13:35,108
Speaker 5: out on the sideline with all the guys were going

342
00:13:35,188 --> 00:13:37,748
Speaker 5: at halftime and Bill gosh, yeah, we're gonna need you

343
00:13:37,868 --> 00:13:39,308
Speaker 5: to go back in the game. You're gonna play in

344
00:13:39,348 --> 00:13:42,148
Speaker 5: the second half as well. I was like, damn, where's

345
00:13:42,188 --> 00:13:43,868
Speaker 5: my helmet? And it was just like that moment. I

346
00:13:43,948 --> 00:13:45,508
Speaker 5: was like, well, it was fun while I lasted here

347
00:13:45,548 --> 00:13:48,028
Speaker 5: again a chance to play alongside my brother. But you're

348
00:13:48,028 --> 00:13:50,108
Speaker 5: a ten year veteran, You're playing in the second half

349
00:13:50,148 --> 00:13:52,308
Speaker 5: of the fourth preseason game. I'm like, my days are

350
00:13:52,428 --> 00:13:55,148
Speaker 5: number make it through the game. End up playing the

351
00:13:55,228 --> 00:13:57,028
Speaker 5: second half of the game. Find out the next day

352
00:13:57,068 --> 00:13:59,308
Speaker 5: that we traded a safety during the game and they

353
00:13:59,308 --> 00:14:01,228
Speaker 5: didn't want him to get injured, so I went back

354
00:14:01,268 --> 00:14:03,148
Speaker 5: in the game. Didn't make me feel any better because

355
00:14:03,308 --> 00:14:04,628
Speaker 5: there was no one left, and I went back in

356
00:14:04,708 --> 00:14:07,268
Speaker 5: the game. So that next Bobby. Two days later, it's

357
00:14:07,428 --> 00:14:09,868
Speaker 5: cut down weekend, Saturday, Sunday. I get a call from

358
00:14:09,908 --> 00:14:12,388
Speaker 5: Miss Nancy at then Eng, the pagers who handles everything

359
00:14:12,468 --> 00:14:14,548
Speaker 5: off the field. It's like Bill Belichick wants to have

360
00:14:14,588 --> 00:14:16,588
Speaker 5: a meeting with you. And throughout this time, you get

361
00:14:16,588 --> 00:14:17,988
Speaker 5: a call to have a meeting with a coach is

362
00:14:18,028 --> 00:14:20,068
Speaker 5: bring your playbooks on and we tell you it was

363
00:14:20,148 --> 00:14:22,188
Speaker 5: nice having you. So I'm going I'm having this meeting

364
00:14:22,268 --> 00:14:24,788
Speaker 5: with Bill, and Miss Nancy tells me it's not roster related.

365
00:14:24,828 --> 00:14:26,548
Speaker 5: I'm like, I don't believe it. So going there, we're

366
00:14:26,588 --> 00:14:29,508
Speaker 5: having a conversation and it's just like, yeah, we like

367
00:14:29,588 --> 00:14:31,148
Speaker 5: some of the things you've done for us, but right

368
00:14:31,188 --> 00:14:32,948
Speaker 5: now in the depth chart, you're behind some guys and

369
00:14:32,988 --> 00:14:36,148
Speaker 5: you're making more money than them. So from a contract standpoint,

370
00:14:36,188 --> 00:14:38,268
Speaker 5: we were thinking something more along the lines of this,

371
00:14:38,748 --> 00:14:41,028
Speaker 5: and slides that paper across the table and that's the

372
00:14:41,148 --> 00:14:43,028
Speaker 5: reality of all right, if you want to be here,

373
00:14:43,108 --> 00:14:45,028
Speaker 5: we're not going to release you, but you're either going

374
00:14:45,068 --> 00:14:46,988
Speaker 5: to sign this contract or you're going to be out

375
00:14:47,028 --> 00:14:49,268
Speaker 5: the door. And there's a lot of different guys going

376
00:14:49,308 --> 00:14:51,748
Speaker 5: through different predicaments throughout the course of this week. Whether

377
00:14:51,788 --> 00:14:54,148
Speaker 5: it's just your flat out release, or there's a standpoint

378
00:14:54,188 --> 00:14:55,828
Speaker 5: of you have to do a new contract, or whatever

379
00:14:55,908 --> 00:14:58,468
Speaker 5: the case may be. We've seen guys betrayed different things.

380
00:14:58,668 --> 00:15:01,588
Speaker 5: Your life can change in a mere second depending upon

381
00:15:01,708 --> 00:15:04,148
Speaker 5: what happens with any given team. And it's not a

382
00:15:04,508 --> 00:15:06,388
Speaker 5: weekend at all that everybody has to go through, not

383
00:15:06,508 --> 00:15:09,388
Speaker 5: only players, but other teammates and different things. As you're

384
00:15:09,428 --> 00:15:12,228
Speaker 5: watching guys dreams get crushed, not knowing where that next

385
00:15:12,268 --> 00:15:15,228
Speaker 5: opportunity will be. So it was fun watching everybody throughout

386
00:15:15,268 --> 00:15:17,148
Speaker 5: the preseason. And this is the reality of the business

387
00:15:17,188 --> 00:15:19,148
Speaker 5: as you can't keep all ninety guys on your roster.

388
00:15:19,348 --> 00:15:22,028
Speaker 5: Did you have an agent consult with you or one thousands?

389
00:15:22,388 --> 00:15:24,348
Speaker 5: Well no, no, no, one thousand. That was the beginning

390
00:15:24,388 --> 00:15:26,388
Speaker 5: of and then this was like a week of a

391
00:15:26,828 --> 00:15:29,228
Speaker 5: process that went out to me eventually going back of

392
00:15:29,388 --> 00:15:31,028
Speaker 5: letting the business people do their job.

393
00:15:31,188 --> 00:15:32,948
Speaker 9: Pick up that paper and take a look at it.

394
00:15:33,188 --> 00:15:34,268
Speaker 4: Didn't look down at it.

395
00:15:34,388 --> 00:15:35,348
Speaker 9: You couldn't even look at it.

396
00:15:35,388 --> 00:15:37,188
Speaker 5: Didn't look down at it. Didn't care, didn't care what

397
00:15:37,308 --> 00:15:39,748
Speaker 5: it said. It was we're having a conversation. This this

398
00:15:39,908 --> 00:15:41,708
Speaker 5: paper will be dealt with later when I call my

399
00:15:42,108 --> 00:15:44,428
Speaker 5: attorneys and everybody. Right now, it's just a conversation.

400
00:15:44,548 --> 00:15:46,548
Speaker 4: But yeah, wasn't Bo Allen in here? And he did

401
00:15:46,588 --> 00:15:47,388
Speaker 4: the same thing to him?

402
00:15:47,588 --> 00:15:49,988
Speaker 3: Belichick Bowl was a little different, right, but he was

403
00:15:50,068 --> 00:15:51,508
Speaker 3: like he was walking to the locker room and he

404
00:15:51,628 --> 00:15:53,548
Speaker 3: was just like, I have a different contract term for

405
00:15:53,628 --> 00:15:54,708
Speaker 3: you and that I'd like you to look at.

406
00:15:54,748 --> 00:15:55,828
Speaker 4: And Bo was like in a towel.

407
00:15:55,988 --> 00:15:58,908
Speaker 5: And that goes on on all thirty two teams. You'll see, guys,

408
00:15:58,948 --> 00:15:59,948
Speaker 5: that's the business part of it.

409
00:16:00,068 --> 00:16:01,868
Speaker 1: Even a guy who's tenured like you, when you get

410
00:16:01,948 --> 00:16:04,108
Speaker 1: that call, then we need to come in. And it's

411
00:16:04,188 --> 00:16:06,508
Speaker 1: just with Belichick, but with any coach. You sitting there,

412
00:16:06,548 --> 00:16:08,348
Speaker 1: are you really nervous? Your family's at home and you

413
00:16:08,388 --> 00:16:09,028
Speaker 1: may have to move on.

414
00:16:09,348 --> 00:16:11,348
Speaker 5: I'm married with three kids at the time, Like we

415
00:16:11,468 --> 00:16:13,988
Speaker 5: have just moved into a place. So I'm talking to

416
00:16:14,028 --> 00:16:15,908
Speaker 5: my wife and it's just like she understands that we

417
00:16:15,988 --> 00:16:17,548
Speaker 5: have been through it for a long time. I've been

418
00:16:17,588 --> 00:16:20,708
Speaker 5: released in Tennessee, got traded from Cleveland, so I'm talking

419
00:16:20,708 --> 00:16:23,228
Speaker 5: to her. You're just preparing for everything, you know, preparing

420
00:16:23,268 --> 00:16:24,988
Speaker 5: for war in the time of peace. If you're going

421
00:16:25,068 --> 00:16:26,708
Speaker 5: into it like all right, these may be the things

422
00:16:26,748 --> 00:16:28,348
Speaker 5: that we're going to have to do, and it's just

423
00:16:28,428 --> 00:16:30,668
Speaker 5: like in a heartbeat, everything flashes like all right, what

424
00:16:30,748 --> 00:16:33,668
Speaker 5: are the potential teams? You go throughout the whole predicament

425
00:16:33,748 --> 00:16:35,628
Speaker 5: in your mind before you even know what's going to

426
00:16:35,668 --> 00:16:36,068
Speaker 5: be said to you.

427
00:16:36,228 --> 00:16:39,268
Speaker 7: What's your message to that young kat who's undrafted and

428
00:16:39,628 --> 00:16:42,788
Speaker 7: today is getting called in and there's no guarantee on

429
00:16:42,828 --> 00:16:43,428
Speaker 7: the practice squad.

430
00:16:43,428 --> 00:16:44,428
Speaker 6: What would be your message to him.

431
00:16:44,588 --> 00:16:47,228
Speaker 5: You've prepared your entire life for this opportunity. Don't let

432
00:16:47,388 --> 00:16:51,348
Speaker 5: one situation or one kind of setback, or one instance

433
00:16:51,388 --> 00:16:53,988
Speaker 5: of adversity derail you. Continue to stay in the lab,

434
00:16:54,188 --> 00:16:57,268
Speaker 5: working out, stay focused, and get ready for that next

435
00:16:57,308 --> 00:16:59,868
Speaker 5: opportunity because it may come on a practice squad and

436
00:16:59,948 --> 00:17:02,028
Speaker 5: may come somewhere else. But make sure you're mentally and

437
00:17:02,148 --> 00:17:04,788
Speaker 5: physically prepared for that opportunity because you don't know when

438
00:17:04,828 --> 00:17:07,268
Speaker 5: the next one's gonna come, or if after that opportunity

439
00:17:07,308 --> 00:17:08,028
Speaker 5: it will be a next one.

440
00:17:08,028 --> 00:17:09,228
Speaker 9: I want to get into this clip. I want to

441
00:17:09,228 --> 00:17:11,308
Speaker 9: put this in will Greer. You might know him.

442
00:17:11,348 --> 00:17:13,148
Speaker 1: Will Geer was drafted on a Day two guy from

443
00:17:13,188 --> 00:17:14,868
Speaker 1: the Panthers out of West Virginia a few years ago.

444
00:17:14,908 --> 00:17:16,428
Speaker 1: He's moved to the Cowboys for a couple of years

445
00:17:16,548 --> 00:17:18,508
Speaker 1: and he's trying to stay on with the Cowboys as

446
00:17:18,508 --> 00:17:21,908
Speaker 1: a backup to Dak. He finds out that they traded

447
00:17:21,948 --> 00:17:24,828
Speaker 1: for Trey Lance and that he's done. He won't be

448
00:17:24,908 --> 00:17:27,708
Speaker 1: making the team. Goes out despite that after that news

449
00:17:27,788 --> 00:17:29,708
Speaker 1: and lights it up, plays the whole game, a whole

450
00:17:29,748 --> 00:17:31,428
Speaker 1: bunch of touchdowns, running and throwing.

451
00:17:31,508 --> 00:17:33,268
Speaker 9: It's incredible. What a great day.

452
00:17:33,788 --> 00:17:36,348
Speaker 1: But then afterwards, everything that Jase is talking about, They

453
00:17:36,428 --> 00:17:39,908
Speaker 1: asked him on camera about this experience emotionally and it's

454
00:17:39,948 --> 00:17:40,588
Speaker 1: pretty powerful.

455
00:17:40,708 --> 00:17:43,708
Speaker 8: Yeah, very sweet man. I just close with a lot

456
00:17:43,748 --> 00:17:47,028
Speaker 8: of these guys. That's the hardest part. Jerry mentions as

457
00:17:47,068 --> 00:17:48,908
Speaker 8: he was walking out of the locker room that you

458
00:17:48,988 --> 00:17:51,228
Speaker 8: were pretty emotional today. What have the last thirty six

459
00:17:51,308 --> 00:17:57,788
Speaker 8: hours been like for you? It's been tough, but I've

460
00:17:57,828 --> 00:18:00,468
Speaker 8: been through tougher stuff. Got a lot of respect for

461
00:18:00,588 --> 00:18:04,068
Speaker 8: this organization and the Jones family understand that it's a

462
00:18:04,068 --> 00:18:06,068
Speaker 8: business at the end of the day, and I respect

463
00:18:06,148 --> 00:18:10,868
Speaker 8: that and The hardest part on me is just leaving

464
00:18:10,948 --> 00:18:14,268
Speaker 8: this place, to be honest, just got really close with

465
00:18:14,348 --> 00:18:20,148
Speaker 8: the team, and that's the toughest part about what we do. Man,

466
00:18:20,228 --> 00:18:22,268
Speaker 8: I've been through the harder things and I'll rebound and

467
00:18:22,388 --> 00:18:22,948
Speaker 8: be just fine.

468
00:18:23,708 --> 00:18:25,788
Speaker 1: That's football, you know. Will ger is a guy who

469
00:18:25,828 --> 00:18:28,668
Speaker 1: also he transferred back in college. He's been around and

470
00:18:28,788 --> 00:18:30,948
Speaker 1: now he will find a good spot. Had an amazing

471
00:18:30,988 --> 00:18:33,148
Speaker 1: game on tape. He's obviously a really good teammate.

472
00:18:33,188 --> 00:18:33,948
Speaker 9: I think Dak was.

473
00:18:33,948 --> 00:18:36,108
Speaker 1: Openly annoyed that he'd be leaving. He's a guy who

474
00:18:36,148 --> 00:18:38,228
Speaker 1: wants around. So I hope somebody picks up Will Greer.

475
00:18:38,308 --> 00:18:41,588
Speaker 1: But we love Mahomes and Rogers. Like that's football. That's

476
00:18:41,668 --> 00:18:43,628
Speaker 1: life in the NFL. You know, it's not all the

477
00:18:43,668 --> 00:18:44,708
Speaker 1: superstars and starts.

478
00:18:44,948 --> 00:18:48,188
Speaker 5: It is that and just unreal news to go through

479
00:18:48,228 --> 00:18:51,228
Speaker 5: the preseason and just like that, your Friday afternoon, it's

480
00:18:51,228 --> 00:18:52,668
Speaker 5: going to be US three, Like we're going in on

481
00:18:52,708 --> 00:18:54,708
Speaker 5: thirst string. I'll get Trey Lances there and it's just like,

482
00:18:54,828 --> 00:18:57,148
Speaker 5: no matter what you do in this game, you're gone.

483
00:18:57,188 --> 00:18:59,108
Speaker 5: But credit to him movie, you just said what your

484
00:18:59,148 --> 00:19:01,468
Speaker 5: mindset is. He knew going into that game he will

485
00:19:01,548 --> 00:19:02,988
Speaker 5: not be on that team, and he went out there

486
00:19:03,028 --> 00:19:04,948
Speaker 5: and had one hell of a game to create an

487
00:19:04,948 --> 00:19:07,588
Speaker 5: opportunity for himself that somebody else may want. But that

488
00:19:07,788 --> 00:19:08,948
Speaker 5: is a harsh reality of it.

489
00:19:09,148 --> 00:19:10,788
Speaker 4: That was the best kind of job interview he probably

490
00:19:10,828 --> 00:19:13,948
Speaker 4: could have done on Friday night. Was remarkable. Yeah, he

491
00:19:14,108 --> 00:19:16,708
Speaker 4: is a really really cool cool Yeah.

492
00:19:16,788 --> 00:19:19,468
Speaker 9: It was let's go out there and ball out all right.

493
00:19:19,548 --> 00:19:22,508
Speaker 7: So fantasy football season is here, and over the weekend

494
00:19:22,748 --> 00:19:26,548
Speaker 7: this thing extended to baseball. The Philadelphia Phillies traded in

495
00:19:26,628 --> 00:19:28,788
Speaker 7: their bats for some golf clubs and they held the

496
00:19:28,908 --> 00:19:32,788
Speaker 7: Closest to the Pin competition to determine the draft order

497
00:19:33,548 --> 00:19:38,068
Speaker 7: for the Phillies Fantasy football league. Of course, this is

498
00:19:38,268 --> 00:19:40,588
Speaker 7: so detailed, and yet you know, if you have a

499
00:19:40,668 --> 00:19:43,068
Speaker 7: league at home, this is the extent and the stuff

500
00:19:43,068 --> 00:19:44,908
Speaker 7: that you'll do to determine your draft order.

501
00:19:45,348 --> 00:19:47,348
Speaker 6: They took over the field before the game and did

502
00:19:47,388 --> 00:19:50,268
Speaker 6: this Closest to the Pin. I'm not sure who won.

503
00:19:50,308 --> 00:19:53,028
Speaker 6: I would guess Bryce Harper is probably a pretty good athlete.

504
00:19:53,668 --> 00:19:54,428
Speaker 9: Standings any good.

505
00:19:54,468 --> 00:19:56,828
Speaker 5: I don't know how baseball seems you need a lot

506
00:19:56,868 --> 00:19:57,588
Speaker 5: of focus before it.

507
00:19:58,788 --> 00:20:00,868
Speaker 7: They say a wildcard there in the picture, Yes, Okay,

508
00:20:01,348 --> 00:20:03,028
Speaker 7: We know you guys have your drafts at home, so

509
00:20:03,068 --> 00:20:04,628
Speaker 7: we're going to bring back a game we start on

510
00:20:04,708 --> 00:20:06,308
Speaker 7: Friday that I thought was really fun. But here's how

511
00:20:06,388 --> 00:20:09,188
Speaker 7: the game goes. Gonna put these three on the board.

512
00:20:09,508 --> 00:20:12,948
Speaker 7: We're gonna randomly give you two players. First, you're gonna

513
00:20:12,988 --> 00:20:14,908
Speaker 7: tell us who you would pick if you were on

514
00:20:14,988 --> 00:20:16,588
Speaker 7: the clock in a fantasy draft tonight.

515
00:20:17,268 --> 00:20:20,548
Speaker 6: And then we're gonna reveal which player NFL dot Com

516
00:20:20,708 --> 00:20:21,468
Speaker 6: has ranked better.

517
00:20:21,548 --> 00:20:24,108
Speaker 9: Okay, okay, so you're on the clock.

518
00:20:24,028 --> 00:20:28,828
Speaker 7: Jason mister Fantasy Football ahead, Go all right, Jason randomizer,

519
00:20:28,908 --> 00:20:32,628
Speaker 7: Go okay, Okay, it's gonna be running backs, receivers, cornerbacks.

520
00:20:32,668 --> 00:20:35,668
Speaker 5: But we got, well, we got will we got Let's

521
00:20:35,708 --> 00:20:36,428
Speaker 5: go give it to me.

522
00:20:36,788 --> 00:20:38,908
Speaker 9: Oh good, this is good.

523
00:20:39,148 --> 00:20:42,188
Speaker 5: I like this youth, John Robert. This is the guy

524
00:20:42,268 --> 00:20:44,748
Speaker 5: we have so much anticipation with running the ball, passing

525
00:20:44,828 --> 00:20:45,188
Speaker 5: the ball.

526
00:20:46,028 --> 00:20:46,908
Speaker 4: This is the king.

527
00:20:47,028 --> 00:20:48,548
Speaker 10: Okay, this is the king.

528
00:20:48,708 --> 00:20:49,868
Speaker 5: This is Derrek Henry.

529
00:20:50,108 --> 00:20:50,668
Speaker 10: He's going to.

530
00:20:50,708 --> 00:20:54,748
Speaker 5: Get seven thousand carries this season with Ryan tannlat cornerback.

531
00:20:54,868 --> 00:20:58,508
Speaker 5: Just hand the ball off to the offense, So handle

532
00:20:58,548 --> 00:21:00,228
Speaker 5: ball off to Derek Henry. He just gives the ball,

533
00:21:00,308 --> 00:21:02,628
Speaker 5: whether it's a ten yard touchdown, whether it's a ninety

534
00:21:02,748 --> 00:21:06,508
Speaker 5: nine yard touchdown. I can not go against the king.

535
00:21:06,748 --> 00:21:09,868
Speaker 5: Crown him, Derek Henry any type of fantasy number one, pick,

536
00:21:09,948 --> 00:21:12,068
Speaker 5: number two, pig, wherever you have him, go out there

537
00:21:12,188 --> 00:21:15,228
Speaker 5: and draft Derek Henry totally has an aside. How cool

538
00:21:15,228 --> 00:21:18,548
Speaker 5: does Jon Robins looks amazing? The earing like the diamonds

539
00:21:18,588 --> 00:21:19,388
Speaker 5: at all, like.

540
00:21:20,108 --> 00:21:21,868
Speaker 7: A rookie running back who didn't do anything in the

541
00:21:21,908 --> 00:21:24,788
Speaker 7: freezeze and number three overall as far as running backs go.

542
00:21:25,348 --> 00:21:27,628
Speaker 1: Dereck Henry's trying to prove that he is the anomaly.

543
00:21:27,828 --> 00:21:30,028
Speaker 1: This is the point when fantasy We're like, it's kind

544
00:21:30,028 --> 00:21:32,948
Speaker 1: of yesterday's news. This guy shows up and posts a

545
00:21:32,988 --> 00:21:36,348
Speaker 1: fourteen hundred yard season with twelve touchdowns. You're completely capable.

546
00:21:36,428 --> 00:21:38,948
Speaker 1: But is he the outlier in the running back position?

547
00:21:39,108 --> 00:21:41,748
Speaker 4: Also, there's a lofty list. Jonathan Taylor is at number seven,

548
00:21:41,868 --> 00:21:43,508
Speaker 4: Like where is he? That's a tough one?

549
00:21:43,548 --> 00:21:44,108
Speaker 5: Yeah, where is he?

550
00:21:44,268 --> 00:21:44,708
Speaker 4: Tough one?

551
00:21:44,748 --> 00:21:45,748
Speaker 5: At NFL dot com?

552
00:21:45,868 --> 00:21:47,828
Speaker 6: Baby, I don't know, Jamie, you're up next.

553
00:21:47,948 --> 00:21:49,948
Speaker 5: I'm not the expert they are.

554
00:21:50,148 --> 00:21:50,348
Speaker 8: I know.

555
00:21:50,628 --> 00:21:54,068
Speaker 3: Here we go, actually very stressed about the right. It

556
00:21:54,108 --> 00:21:56,588
Speaker 3: feels like a personal indictment on how I draft for fantasy.

557
00:21:56,948 --> 00:21:58,348
Speaker 6: You've got your fantasy draft coming up.

558
00:21:58,508 --> 00:22:03,788
Speaker 7: Okay, that's Anthony Richardson, and that's Dad Prescott, another rookie

559
00:22:04,428 --> 00:22:04,748
Speaker 7: and then.

560
00:22:04,668 --> 00:22:05,388
Speaker 6: A veteran guy.

561
00:22:07,228 --> 00:22:07,948
Speaker 4: Why are you laughing?

562
00:22:08,508 --> 00:22:08,708
Speaker 9: Laughing?

563
00:22:08,708 --> 00:22:10,828
Speaker 5: Because I want to know what you think.

564
00:22:11,268 --> 00:22:14,068
Speaker 3: Essentially, according to Kyle Brandt, this is either Dak Prescott

565
00:22:14,108 --> 00:22:16,868
Speaker 3: or Kirk Cousins. They are the same place fantasy too. Cousins,

566
00:22:17,188 --> 00:22:20,468
Speaker 3: Dak Cousins, Kirk Prescott. I like to have fun in

567
00:22:20,548 --> 00:22:24,068
Speaker 3: my fantasy draft. I like to either go down in flames.

568
00:22:23,828 --> 00:22:26,068
Speaker 4: Or go up that roller coaster. Click click, click click click,

569
00:22:26,108 --> 00:22:26,428
Speaker 4: wick click.

570
00:22:27,028 --> 00:22:29,948
Speaker 5: What you're going with I'd go I'd.

571
00:22:29,788 --> 00:22:30,188
Speaker 8: Go with it.

572
00:22:31,708 --> 00:22:33,868
Speaker 4: There's a lock of I'm with the Colts. I want

573
00:22:33,908 --> 00:22:35,308
Speaker 4: it to go. Well, I'm just gonna put all the

574
00:22:35,348 --> 00:22:37,628
Speaker 4: eggs in the basket. This is how emotionally I draft

575
00:22:37,908 --> 00:22:38,228
Speaker 4: is with this.

576
00:22:38,348 --> 00:22:40,508
Speaker 9: That's what would Anthony was saying, you're right, You're right.

577
00:22:40,788 --> 00:22:43,748
Speaker 7: They the fantasy experts think this guy's going to run

578
00:22:43,828 --> 00:22:47,348
Speaker 7: that read option. Last year, Justin Fields was the number

579
00:22:47,388 --> 00:22:50,028
Speaker 7: six quarterback in all of fantasy because of the run.

580
00:22:50,268 --> 00:22:52,548
Speaker 4: And look look at it, Jason, just look at it.

581
00:22:52,748 --> 00:22:54,588
Speaker 4: Look at that difference. You told me you trying to

582
00:22:54,588 --> 00:22:56,548
Speaker 4: tell me not to and I said, no, I'm going

583
00:22:56,628 --> 00:22:56,788
Speaker 4: with this.

584
00:22:56,948 --> 00:22:57,548
Speaker 9: This is fantasy.

585
00:22:57,588 --> 00:22:57,788
Speaker 10: Guys.

586
00:22:57,908 --> 00:22:59,708
Speaker 1: The Bears lost ten games in a row last year,

587
00:22:59,748 --> 00:23:02,028
Speaker 1: but Fields was putting up points. We're not saying the Colts.

588
00:23:03,428 --> 00:23:05,508
Speaker 1: This guy could have nine Georg's rushing this year. It's

589
00:23:05,508 --> 00:23:07,188
Speaker 1: a huge fantay. All right here, give me, give me

590
00:23:08,148 --> 00:23:08,468
Speaker 1: mc gimme.

591
00:23:08,668 --> 00:23:10,068
Speaker 4: I'm gonna laugh at to.

592
00:23:12,028 --> 00:23:13,388
Speaker 9: Stop, if you please.

593
00:23:14,388 --> 00:23:18,028
Speaker 7: That's George Pickens, and that's Odell Beckham, the Kings of

594
00:23:18,068 --> 00:23:18,948
Speaker 7: the One Hand Catch.

595
00:23:19,268 --> 00:23:20,548
Speaker 9: I mean, can I just spend the whole time on

596
00:23:20,628 --> 00:23:22,588
Speaker 9: Odell's teeth? What do we got going on in here?

597
00:23:22,908 --> 00:23:23,988
Speaker 9: This is so great?

598
00:23:24,428 --> 00:23:24,788
Speaker 10: All right?

599
00:23:25,988 --> 00:23:28,068
Speaker 9: This is easy for me. I have a philosophy and

600
00:23:28,148 --> 00:23:29,748
Speaker 9: fantasy that I shared earlier in the show.

601
00:23:30,028 --> 00:23:32,468
Speaker 1: The way to win leagues now coming second, I coming third,

602
00:23:32,908 --> 00:23:35,948
Speaker 1: is to get the guy the year that they blow up,

603
00:23:36,108 --> 00:23:38,428
Speaker 1: not after when they're overdrafted, and not a few years

604
00:23:38,508 --> 00:23:39,708
Speaker 1: later when they don't have it anymore.

605
00:23:39,988 --> 00:23:41,068
Speaker 9: This is me right here.

606
00:23:41,348 --> 00:23:45,308
Speaker 1: Pickens for sure. Odell is unbelievably famous. And he's that

607
00:23:45,508 --> 00:23:46,988
Speaker 1: name where you're like, well I don't know who to take.

608
00:23:46,988 --> 00:23:48,908
Speaker 1: I'll take Odell. He's famous, right, He makes one head

609
00:23:48,948 --> 00:23:49,348
Speaker 1: of catches.

610
00:23:49,548 --> 00:23:51,308
Speaker 9: He's gonna have a good year. He'll put up numbers.

611
00:23:51,508 --> 00:23:53,908
Speaker 9: I'm going for the superstar. I'm gonna go for the

612
00:23:54,348 --> 00:23:56,308
Speaker 9: swing out of my shoes and am I right? I

613
00:23:56,388 --> 00:23:59,388
Speaker 9: am my four picks. I'm glad to see that kind

614
00:23:59,428 --> 00:23:59,908
Speaker 9: of surprise.

615
00:24:00,028 --> 00:24:02,788
Speaker 1: There's so much name value and you get excited about

616
00:24:02,788 --> 00:24:03,548
Speaker 1: the lamar thing.

617
00:24:04,068 --> 00:24:05,948
Speaker 9: This to be the pick and should be the pickings.

618
00:24:05,948 --> 00:24:08,268
Speaker 3: In fact, it easy flowers, not Todell down a couple

619
00:24:08,268 --> 00:24:10,148
Speaker 3: of pigs, say flowers.

620
00:24:10,228 --> 00:24:12,868
Speaker 7: I wonder where he let Odell go after Jalen Hyatt

621
00:24:12,908 --> 00:24:13,908
Speaker 7: and Nico Collins.

622
00:24:14,228 --> 00:24:15,868
Speaker 9: All right, this is fine, let's do it up. Odell.

623
00:24:15,908 --> 00:24:16,548
Speaker 10: I hope you're watching.

624
00:24:16,628 --> 00:24:18,188
Speaker 6: That's inspiration, that's motivation.

625
00:24:18,388 --> 00:24:21,868
Speaker 5: Jason, I'm all right, this is this is the randomizer.

626
00:24:21,988 --> 00:24:23,268
Speaker 5: Do your thing, do your thing?

627
00:24:23,388 --> 00:24:24,468
Speaker 9: What two do you have for me?

628
00:24:24,548 --> 00:24:27,588
Speaker 5: What position do you have for me? Stop this running backs.

629
00:24:27,628 --> 00:24:30,188
Speaker 6: That's Jamier Gibbs and that's Kennedith Walker.

630
00:24:32,148 --> 00:24:36,348
Speaker 5: Kenneth Walker was amazing last year, fun to watch running

631
00:24:36,548 --> 00:24:41,508
Speaker 5: all over for Seattle. I'm going with Jamier gain all

632
00:24:41,628 --> 00:24:44,628
Speaker 5: because of Peter Schreger. If you're on our show, Shreg

633
00:24:44,708 --> 00:24:46,868
Speaker 5: has been talking about Jamier gives since the night he

634
00:24:47,068 --> 00:24:49,748
Speaker 5: was drafted. Now good, he's gonna He even showed us

635
00:24:49,828 --> 00:24:53,228
Speaker 5: Jamier Gibbs routing up his running back coach in practice

636
00:24:53,388 --> 00:24:55,028
Speaker 5: to talk about how good he's going to be. So

637
00:24:55,188 --> 00:24:58,348
Speaker 5: because of that, I have to go with Jamiir Gibbs.

638
00:24:58,388 --> 00:25:00,668
Speaker 5: Love Kenneth Walker, But Jamier Gibbs Walker's face.

639
00:25:00,628 --> 00:25:01,668
Speaker 9: Expression is reacting to you.

640
00:25:02,268 --> 00:25:03,068
Speaker 10: Yeah, he's not.

641
00:25:05,028 --> 00:25:07,388
Speaker 6: He hasn't taken a snap yet. Gibbs Walker was basically

642
00:25:07,428 --> 00:25:08,708
Speaker 6: the NFL's offensive rookie of the Year.

643
00:25:08,828 --> 00:25:09,668

Speaker 9: Yeah, to go Gibbs. Yeah, Wow, Jason, there's an onus

645
00:25:13,548 --> 00:25:13,708
Speaker 9: on you.

646
00:25:13,868 --> 00:25:15,548
Speaker 1: If you spend a first round pick on a running back,

647
00:25:15,588 --> 00:25:19,108
Speaker 1: you better use that guy a lot of times and lots.

648
00:25:18,948 --> 00:25:20,228
Speaker 6: Fantasy drafts this weekend.

649
00:25:20,268 --> 00:25:22,068
Speaker 7: One guy that you probably had in your fantasy team

650
00:25:22,108 --> 00:25:23,948
Speaker 7: in the past, one of the best little young guys

651
00:25:23,988 --> 00:25:24,468
Speaker 7: in the league.

652
00:25:24,548 --> 00:25:25,668

00:26:22,748 --> 00:26:24,788
Speaker 1: led to this decision between the Ears for you to

670
00:26:24,828 --> 00:26:26,508

671

Speaker 10: I'm feeling great. Man.

00:26:28,428 --> 00:26:30,588
Speaker 12: You know, after that second major injury I had, the

673
00:26:30,628 --> 00:26:32,908
Speaker 12: Achilles injury, I was really in a bad place. But

674
00:26:32,988 --> 00:26:34,348
Speaker 12: I also feel like, you know, it's a blessing in

675
00:26:34,348 --> 00:26:36,588
Speaker 12: disguise because it helped me like just like reset my

00:26:36,628 --> 00:26:38,348
Speaker 12: whole body in terms of like fitness.

677
00:26:38,868 --> 00:26:40,508
Speaker 10: You know, you have to playing football all my life

678
00:26:40,908 --> 00:26:41,188
Speaker 10: and then.

679
00:26:41,228 --> 00:26:43,188
Speaker 12: Having two years off, it's not it's not many players

680
00:26:43,228 --> 00:26:45,708
Speaker 12: that get to have their break and you know, not

681
00:26:45,868 --> 00:26:47,748
Speaker 12: be out of their clock or not run out of time.

682
00:26:47,828 --> 00:26:49,388
Speaker 12: So I feel like I'm ready and I'm just ready

683
00:26:49,388 --> 00:26:50,908
Speaker 12: to get back to where I was before I left.

684
00:26:52,308 --> 00:26:53,828
Speaker 7: You're one of our favorite players in the league, an

685
00:26:53,868 --> 00:26:56,748
Speaker 7: electric player, and you came out your rookie year and

686
00:26:56,828 --> 00:26:58,588
Speaker 7: you took the league by storm. You said back in

687
00:26:58,668 --> 00:27:00,748
Speaker 7: February you didn't want to come back before you thought

688
00:27:00,788 --> 00:27:03,188
Speaker 7: you were one hundred percent ready to perform at the

689
00:27:03,268 --> 00:27:04,268
Speaker 7: level you wanted to be at.

690
00:27:04,428 --> 00:27:06,388
Speaker 6: Do you think that time is now? Are you ready

691
00:27:06,428 --> 00:27:09,588
Speaker 6: to go back to your twenty eighteen All Pro season level?

692
00:27:09,788 --> 00:27:09,868
Speaker 3: Oh?

693
00:27:09,948 --> 00:27:10,748
Speaker 10: Yeah, most definitely.

694
00:27:11,148 --> 00:27:12,628
Speaker 12: I had a chance to come back and try to

695
00:27:12,668 --> 00:27:14,868
Speaker 12: work out for teams before the draft, but me and

696
00:27:14,948 --> 00:27:17,588
Speaker 12: my agent and Drew, we sat down and I talked

697
00:27:17,628 --> 00:27:18,948
Speaker 12: to him, and I was telling him like, I'm not

698
00:27:19,028 --> 00:27:20,868
Speaker 12: feeling like I would be that guy that I would

699
00:27:20,908 --> 00:27:22,868
Speaker 12: before I left right now. So he gave me some

700
00:27:22,988 --> 00:27:25,588
Speaker 12: more time, and you know, I just locked in on

701
00:27:25,668 --> 00:27:28,428
Speaker 12: my regime, my workout resume, my diet, and everything started

702
00:27:28,508 --> 00:27:30,668
Speaker 12: coming together slowly but surely. And now I feel like

703
00:27:30,668 --> 00:27:32,108
Speaker 12: I'm hitting the stride of where I can do in

704
00:27:32,148 --> 00:27:35,068
Speaker 12: front of teams and you know, really really impress them

705
00:27:35,108 --> 00:27:35,788
Speaker 12: with my workouts.

706
00:27:36,028 --> 00:27:37,628
Speaker 5: I love the sound that and I can tell you're

707
00:27:37,628 --> 00:27:39,428
Speaker 5: working out, You're rocking the tank top and you just

708
00:27:39,468 --> 00:27:43,108
Speaker 5: see muscles bursting through that. All thirty two teams know

709
00:27:43,188 --> 00:27:45,468
Speaker 5: where you're at right now. And let's talk about that

710
00:27:45,588 --> 00:27:48,068
Speaker 5: twenty eighteen season. You had four hundred and eleven pump

711
00:27:48,148 --> 00:27:51,748
Speaker 5: return yards, which led to NFL. Over the last four seasons,

712
00:27:52,068 --> 00:27:55,388
Speaker 5: no player in the NFL has even eclipsed four hundred yards.

713
00:27:55,428 --> 00:27:57,708
Speaker 5: Do you believe the art of a pump return has

714
00:27:57,828 --> 00:27:59,508
Speaker 5: kind of declined and it could you be the guy

715
00:27:59,588 --> 00:28:00,468
Speaker 5: to kind of bring it back.

716
00:28:00,948 --> 00:28:02,828
Speaker 12: I definitely feel like, you know, it's multiple things that

717
00:28:02,988 --> 00:28:05,588
Speaker 12: go into that. One, I had great defense that year.

718
00:28:06,108 --> 00:28:08,668
Speaker 12: Definitely kudos to them. They kept making the offense, putting

719
00:28:08,708 --> 00:28:10,308
Speaker 12: the ball to me even though they didn't want to.

720
00:28:10,908 --> 00:28:13,388
Speaker 12: Another thing is you got to be a fearless guy

721
00:28:13,468 --> 00:28:15,788
Speaker 12: back there. You can't be scared of anything. You're gonna

722
00:28:15,788 --> 00:28:17,988
Speaker 12: have a whole team chasing you, running down at you

723
00:28:18,108 --> 00:28:20,188
Speaker 12: before you get the ball. And I'm just one of

724
00:28:20,228 --> 00:28:22,228
Speaker 12: those guys where I like the odds stacked against me,

725
00:28:22,468 --> 00:28:25,148
Speaker 12: so I thrive in that situation. So I'm definitely looking

726
00:28:25,188 --> 00:28:27,708
Speaker 12: forward to coming back and making an immediate impact in.

727
00:28:27,748 --> 00:28:28,548
Speaker 10: That area of the game.

728
00:28:28,908 --> 00:28:29,148
Speaker 4: Trick.

729
00:28:29,308 --> 00:28:31,468
Speaker 3: It was so fun watching you burst onto the scene

730
00:28:31,548 --> 00:28:33,708
Speaker 3: for the Bears back in twenty seventeen. But before that,

731
00:28:33,828 --> 00:28:36,588
Speaker 3: you were a standout player at North Carolina A and T.

732
00:28:37,108 --> 00:28:40,148
Speaker 3: You won the HBCU national title that season. You were

733
00:28:40,188 --> 00:28:43,028
Speaker 3: also awarded the Deacon Jones Trophy, which is given to

734
00:28:43,068 --> 00:28:47,148
Speaker 3: the most outstanding HBCU player of that season. Tell us

735
00:28:47,348 --> 00:28:49,988
Speaker 3: now that you look at HBCUs and the swelling support

736
00:28:50,068 --> 00:28:52,028
Speaker 3: that they're getting, why are they so important to the

737
00:28:52,028 --> 00:28:53,028
Speaker 3: sport of football today.

738
00:28:53,628 --> 00:28:54,148
Speaker 10: One reason I.

739
00:28:54,148 --> 00:28:55,988
Speaker 12: Feel like it's so important to the sport of football

740
00:28:55,988 --> 00:28:57,868
Speaker 12: because if you look at some of the legends, you

741
00:28:57,908 --> 00:29:00,028
Speaker 12: know that's in the Hall of Fame, most of these

742
00:29:00,068 --> 00:29:03,628
Speaker 12: guys came from HBCUs, and I feel like there's always

743
00:29:03,668 --> 00:29:05,188
Speaker 12: going to be guys who want paying homis to those

744
00:29:05,228 --> 00:29:06,068
Speaker 12: who came before them.

745
00:29:06,308 --> 00:29:08,108
Speaker 10: So they're going to be around for a long time.

746
00:29:08,348 --> 00:29:11,148
Speaker 12: And I'm hoping, you know, guys like Deon Sanders and

747
00:29:11,228 --> 00:29:13,508
Speaker 12: the older guys, you know, really get back into the

748
00:29:13,628 --> 00:29:16,548
Speaker 12: HBCU so the young guys can see that these these

749
00:29:16,668 --> 00:29:18,548
Speaker 12: is where we first came from.

750
00:29:18,668 --> 00:29:20,148
Speaker 10: You know, when it was all when we couldn't go

751
00:29:20,188 --> 00:29:20,948
Speaker 10: to the other schools.

752
00:29:21,108 --> 00:29:22,788
Speaker 12: This is what we had, and you know, some of

753
00:29:22,828 --> 00:29:24,468
Speaker 12: young guys might want to do the same thing as

754
00:29:24,628 --> 00:29:27,668
Speaker 12: the Travis Hunters and Shador Sanders did, no.

755
00:29:27,748 --> 00:29:29,668
Speaker 1: Doubt, and we're glad to hear you talking about it.

756
00:29:29,668 --> 00:29:31,228
Speaker 1: We're also glad to hear you talking about being back

757
00:29:31,268 --> 00:29:32,708
Speaker 1: on the field. I feel like right now, Toreak, these

758
00:29:32,708 --> 00:29:34,908
Speaker 1: teams are looking over their rosters and they're saying, we're

759
00:29:34,948 --> 00:29:37,588
Speaker 1: just missing a little juice, no more speed. I don't

760
00:29:37,588 --> 00:29:39,748
Speaker 1: know if we love our return guys, that's where you

761
00:29:39,868 --> 00:29:41,828
Speaker 1: come in, and let's just give them a reminder. This

762
00:29:41,988 --> 00:29:43,668
Speaker 1: is kind of funny for us to Good Morning Football.

763
00:29:43,708 --> 00:29:46,268
Speaker 1: Back in twenty nineteen, I was on the call doing

764
00:29:46,308 --> 00:29:48,668
Speaker 1: play by play for the Chicago Bears in a preseason game,

765
00:29:49,148 --> 00:29:51,628
Speaker 1: and you were doing your thing. Amongst the things that

766
00:29:51,708 --> 00:29:55,868
Speaker 1: you do, our famous backflip that you're just casually doing

767
00:29:55,988 --> 00:29:56,628
Speaker 1: in pregame.

768
00:29:56,668 --> 00:29:58,148
Speaker 9: Let's take a look back at least.

769
00:29:57,988 --> 00:30:00,828
Speaker 2: By four o'clock on Saturday by the Chicago Bears.

770
00:30:00,948 --> 00:30:03,028
Speaker 9: Their NFL careers are on the line tonight.

771
00:30:03,228 --> 00:30:04,188
Speaker 10: Go out and do something.

772
00:30:04,788 --> 00:30:07,788
Speaker 1: Yes, Bears fans, Tarricona is doing preseason backflips and we

773
00:30:07,948 --> 00:30:08,188
Speaker 1: love it.

774
00:30:09,188 --> 00:30:11,108
Speaker 9: Yes, that was my man, Jim Miller.

00:30:11,348 --> 00:30:15,228
Speaker 1: Dave want sending me hyping twenty nine for the Chicago Bears.

Speaker 9: backflips and preseason like? You're that bad?

779
00:30:21,708 --> 00:30:23,748
Speaker 12: So look, I had my girlfriend out in the front

780
00:30:23,828 --> 00:30:25,708
Speaker 12: yard the other day and I'm telling him, like, since

Speaker 12: she's been with me, I got with her in a

782
00:30:27,628 --> 00:30:30,108
Speaker 12: like pre twenty in the beginning twenty nineteen, I haven't

784
00:30:31,948 --> 00:30:33,548
Speaker 12: do a backflip. So I was like, this is the

785
00:30:33,628 --> 00:30:35,428
Speaker 12: ultimate chance to see if I'm back, And I just

786
00:30:35,508 --> 00:30:38,028
Speaker 12: bust out two backflips for like, but it's.

787
00:30:37,948 --> 00:30:40,828
Speaker 10: Easiest like riding a bike. So I'm killing them. I'm

788
00:30:40,868 --> 00:30:42,348
Speaker 10: killing them already, all.

789
00:30:42,308 --> 00:30:44,348
Speaker 1: Right, sorik, So before you go, we know you've been

790
00:30:44,428 --> 00:30:46,348
Speaker 1: backflips doing the daddy thing too.

791
00:30:46,468 --> 00:30:48,708
Speaker 9: All right, you're a parent. We're all parents here.

792
00:30:49,068 --> 00:30:50,948
Speaker 1: Let's say the team brings you in and they signed

793
00:30:50,948 --> 00:30:53,268
Speaker 1: you a contract and you're kind of like a veteran leader.

794
00:30:53,628 --> 00:30:55,268
Speaker 1: If you're talking to some of your teammates and they

795
00:30:55,348 --> 00:30:59,788
Speaker 1: need advice about parenting, about having a baby, what advice

796
00:30:59,828 --> 00:31:00,548
Speaker 1: would you give them?

797
00:31:01,068 --> 00:31:03,308
Speaker 12: The first advice, you know, is definitely a love the

798
00:31:03,308 --> 00:31:04,788
Speaker 12: person that you're going to have the be with that

799
00:31:04,868 --> 00:31:07,588
Speaker 12: makes the most that's the most important thing in everything,

800
00:31:07,708 --> 00:31:10,228
Speaker 12: because you know you might have differences on raising that child,

801
00:31:10,468 --> 00:31:12,188
Speaker 12: but you know that love can overcome that and you

802
00:31:12,348 --> 00:31:14,788
Speaker 12: will see each other's point of view. And then secondly,

803
00:31:14,868 --> 00:31:17,188
Speaker 12: you know the baby doesn't know anything. The crying is

804
00:31:17,228 --> 00:31:19,028
Speaker 12: not personal, so you know, just take it to the

805
00:31:19,108 --> 00:31:20,108
Speaker 12: chat and roll with the punches.
