41
00:02:07,588 --> 00:02:10,708
Speaker 4: morning football pers exactly. Well, let's chickain with the Ian

42
00:02:10,748 --> 00:02:13,188
Speaker 4: Report or NFL Network Insider of course.

43
00:02:13,068 --> 00:02:13,908
Speaker 8: The Insiders.

44
00:02:14,028 --> 00:02:17,468
Speaker 4: The show debuted yesterday, season two on NFL Network, and

45
00:02:17,628 --> 00:02:19,308
Speaker 4: I hope it went well. I hope it went well

46
00:02:19,348 --> 00:02:20,828
Speaker 4: because this is the kind of stuff you hear about

47
00:02:20,868 --> 00:02:23,388
Speaker 4: on The Insiders. The season kicks off tomorrow night. Travis Kelce,

48
00:02:23,548 --> 00:02:26,268
Speaker 4: I'm sure you guys discussed on your show. What's the latest?

49
00:02:26,588 --> 00:02:29,908
Speaker 9: Yeah, Travis Kelce all eyes on the star tight end

50
00:02:29,988 --> 00:02:33,828
Speaker 9: for the Kansas City Chiefs after suffering injury in practice yesterday.

51
00:02:33,948 --> 00:02:34,988
Speaker 2: This is a rarity.

52
00:02:35,148 --> 00:02:37,988
Speaker 9: Usually the practice the day before the day before the

53
00:02:38,028 --> 00:02:40,508
Speaker 9: game is kind of light practice, a jogged through. He

54
00:02:40,588 --> 00:02:44,508
Speaker 9: suffered a hyper extended knee during practice. Now sources say

55
00:02:44,628 --> 00:02:47,788
Speaker 9: there is no structural damage here, not considered to be

56
00:02:47,828 --> 00:02:50,508
Speaker 9: a long term injury. That above all, I know we're

57
00:02:50,508 --> 00:02:52,988
Speaker 9: talking about tomorrow night, but above all that is the

58
00:02:53,108 --> 00:02:56,468
Speaker 9: most important thing for Travis Kelce. That said, there was

59
00:02:56,508 --> 00:02:59,508
Speaker 9: some swelling, I would say, some real significant swelling that

60
00:02:59,588 --> 00:03:01,028
Speaker 9: needs to go down in order for him to get

61
00:03:01,068 --> 00:03:03,348
Speaker 9: back on the field. He's going to be reassessed today

62
00:03:03,388 --> 00:03:05,788
Speaker 9: and obviously game day as Nations will come out today

63
00:03:05,788 --> 00:03:08,108
Speaker 9: as well, so perhaps we will know more, but he

64
00:03:08,188 --> 00:03:11,908
Speaker 9: has not yet been ruled out for Thursday night's game. Meanwhile,

65
00:03:11,988 --> 00:03:15,628
Speaker 9: for star defensive tackle Chris Jones, who has still still

66
00:03:15,748 --> 00:03:18,908
Speaker 9: still holding out for the Kansas City Chiefs, racking up

67
00:03:19,228 --> 00:03:21,588
Speaker 9: more than two million dollars of fines, would take a

68
00:03:21,668 --> 00:03:24,948
Speaker 9: significant breakthrough to get him not on the field. It

69
00:03:25,028 --> 00:03:27,188
Speaker 9: seems far fetched at this point for him to sign

70
00:03:27,228 --> 00:03:28,908
Speaker 9: a new deal and then get on the field, and

71
00:03:28,948 --> 00:03:32,348
Speaker 9: I'm just talking about get on the roster. They still

72
00:03:32,348 --> 00:03:35,228
Speaker 9: would need some sort of new contract for Chris Jones

73
00:03:35,268 --> 00:03:37,628
Speaker 9: to end his holdout and bring him back in the fold.

74
00:03:37,668 --> 00:03:40,228
Speaker 9: I'm not sensing anything imminent there, but obviously we will

75
00:03:40,348 --> 00:03:43,508
Speaker 9: keep our eye on that situation and then better things

76
00:03:43,588 --> 00:03:47,228
Speaker 9: for Joe Burrow, the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback. He has been

77
00:03:47,268 --> 00:03:50,028
Speaker 9: dealing with a calf strain really for the last six

78
00:03:50,108 --> 00:03:52,468
Speaker 9: weeks or so. And you know, for the Chiefs, timing

79
00:03:52,588 --> 00:03:54,588
Speaker 9: is not on their side. With Kelsey, who was the

80
00:03:54,628 --> 00:03:56,628
Speaker 9: opposite for the Bengals, they had plenty of time to

81
00:03:56,748 --> 00:04:00,268
Speaker 9: make sure that Joe Burrow got as healthy as possible back.

82
00:04:00,148 --> 00:04:01,708
Speaker 8: To one hundred percent before the season.

83
00:04:02,068 --> 00:04:04,868
Speaker 9: My understanding is he is trending in the right direction.

84
00:04:05,348 --> 00:04:07,028
Speaker 9: They wanted to get to a point where there'll be

85
00:04:07,148 --> 00:04:09,948
Speaker 9: just no issues going forward, and it seems that's where

86
00:04:09,988 --> 00:04:10,548
Speaker 9: the Bengals are.

87
00:04:10,828 --> 00:04:12,228
Speaker 8: That's good news for the Bengals.

88
00:04:12,388 --> 00:04:14,588
Speaker 4: I know all of us are anticipating a Joe Burrow

89
00:04:14,628 --> 00:04:17,468
Speaker 4: contract coming down the pipe from Cincinnati. We will also

90
00:04:17,548 --> 00:04:19,268
Speaker 4: see and I'm sure we'll hear from you and if

91
00:04:19,308 --> 00:04:21,548
Speaker 4: that is the pace before the week for.

92
00:04:21,548 --> 00:04:23,028
Speaker 8: The Bengals kicks off on Sunday.

93
00:04:23,068 --> 00:04:25,388
Speaker 4: But let's stick back to the kickoff game on Thursday night,

94
00:04:25,428 --> 00:04:28,308
Speaker 4: E and thank you so much, it's odd to continue

95
00:04:28,348 --> 00:04:30,748
Speaker 4: this list of players the Chiefs might not have. On

96
00:04:30,868 --> 00:04:33,348
Speaker 4: Thursday night last yesterday we were talking about Chris Jones.

97
00:04:33,388 --> 00:04:35,948
Speaker 4: Now maybe no Travis Kelcey after it gets injured in

98
00:04:35,988 --> 00:04:36,828
Speaker 4: practice yesterday.

99
00:04:37,108 --> 00:04:39,188
Speaker 8: What would that mean for the Chiefs.

100
00:04:38,868 --> 00:04:42,468
Speaker 4: Tomorrow night Jason against the Lions, sans Travis Kelcey.

101
00:04:42,708 --> 00:04:44,948
Speaker 7: I was hanging out with my son yesterday. We're alside,

102
00:04:44,948 --> 00:04:46,988
Speaker 7: we're throwing the football. Open up my phone and my

103
00:04:47,068 --> 00:04:49,828
Speaker 7: group text. They're talking about their fantasy leagues and they're like,

104
00:04:50,268 --> 00:04:52,588
Speaker 7: Travis kelce may not play, and I was just like, well,

105
00:04:52,588 --> 00:04:54,988
Speaker 7: where's Travis Kelcey. And then you start to think, well,

106
00:04:55,108 --> 00:04:57,148
Speaker 7: for sure, we can kind of go to history and

107
00:04:57,228 --> 00:04:59,788
Speaker 7: find out how mahomes and how the Chiefs have done

108
00:04:59,948 --> 00:05:02,788
Speaker 7: throughout Travis Kelcey's career when he's not out there. Do

109
00:05:02,948 --> 00:05:06,468
Speaker 7: you dig into the numbers? Years Kelsey has missed three games,

110
00:05:07,188 --> 00:05:10,548
Speaker 7: zero due to injury, one year COVID list, the other

111
00:05:10,628 --> 00:05:13,148
Speaker 7: two years was the last game of the season, playoffs

112
00:05:13,188 --> 00:05:16,788
Speaker 7: were clinched, starters didn't play. This guy has played one

113
00:05:16,908 --> 00:05:21,268
Speaker 7: hundred and forty three consecutive games at the tight end position.

114
00:05:21,628 --> 00:05:24,188
Speaker 2: The one thing when the Chiefs play. You know eighty

115
00:05:24,348 --> 00:05:27,108
Speaker 2: seven is going to be out there. He's going to

116
00:05:27,108 --> 00:05:27,708
Speaker 2: be out there tomorrow.

117
00:05:27,948 --> 00:05:30,908
Speaker 7: I sure hope you. He's on my fantasy team as well.

118
00:05:30,948 --> 00:05:31,668
Speaker 7: He's my stud.

119
00:05:32,428 --> 00:05:33,188
Speaker 2: But we don't know that.

120
00:05:33,308 --> 00:05:36,028
Speaker 7: Hyprig Sindne. You can go on to all the nuances

121
00:05:36,068 --> 00:05:39,508
Speaker 7: of all that Patrick Mahomes at quarterbacks. So when you

122
00:05:39,588 --> 00:05:41,908
Speaker 7: start to say what does the Chiefs offense look like

123
00:05:42,308 --> 00:05:44,748
Speaker 7: without Travis Kelsey out there, you go back to the

124
00:05:44,828 --> 00:05:47,828
Speaker 7: games that Mahomes has played without him, and you see

125
00:05:47,868 --> 00:05:50,188
Speaker 7: in those games, Mahomes has won both of them. In

126
00:05:50,268 --> 00:05:53,268
Speaker 7: those games, Byron Pringle had two touchdowns. So, as I

127
00:05:53,308 --> 00:05:55,388
Speaker 7: look at this offense for the Kansas City Chiefs, the

128
00:05:55,468 --> 00:05:57,668
Speaker 7: one thing with Patrick Mahomes He's going to make the

129
00:05:57,788 --> 00:06:00,788
Speaker 7: guys around him great. I look at this and I say,

130
00:06:00,828 --> 00:06:03,188
Speaker 7: all right, Kelsey's not out there. Who is going to

131
00:06:03,308 --> 00:06:07,068
Speaker 7: be the guy Thursday night, Opening Day for the NFL?

132
00:06:07,428 --> 00:06:09,068
Speaker 7: Who is going to be the guy that we're talking

133
00:06:09,108 --> 00:06:12,308
Speaker 7: about Friday morning that absolutely just went off in the

134
00:06:12,468 --> 00:06:15,268
Speaker 7: absence of Travis Kelcey. I'm not gonna say, all right,

135
00:06:15,348 --> 00:06:17,988
Speaker 7: this Chiefs offense without Kelsey, they can't get it done.

136
00:06:18,028 --> 00:06:20,388
Speaker 7: They can't figure it out. Mahomes can figure it out.

137
00:06:20,428 --> 00:06:21,428
Speaker 2: He is that good.

138
00:06:21,508 --> 00:06:24,708
Speaker 7: We watched Brady win for multiple years with whoever Bill

139
00:06:24,748 --> 00:06:28,468
Speaker 7: Belichick put out there at the wide receiver position or running.

140
00:06:28,188 --> 00:06:29,268
Speaker 6: Back or tight end or whatever.

141
00:06:29,668 --> 00:06:32,308
Speaker 7: Who is Patrick Mahomes going to make great on Thursday

142
00:06:32,388 --> 00:06:35,588
Speaker 7: night Prime Time if possible that Travis Kelcey is not

143
00:06:35,708 --> 00:06:35,988
Speaker 7: out there.

144
00:06:36,268 --> 00:06:37,388
Speaker 6: That's what I'm looking forward to.

145
00:06:37,548 --> 00:06:38,348
Speaker 2: It's not long term.

146
00:06:38,348 --> 00:06:39,988
Speaker 5: It's what Ian said, which is like a relief for

147
00:06:40,108 --> 00:06:42,148
Speaker 5: Chief Stans, but it certainly didn't sound like this is

148
00:06:42,228 --> 00:06:43,948
Speaker 5: a he can just suit him up and go like

149
00:06:44,068 --> 00:06:45,748
Speaker 5: he might not play on Thursday.

150
00:06:45,868 --> 00:06:48,028
Speaker 2: And if that's the case, to your point, someone's got

151
00:06:48,108 --> 00:06:48,548
Speaker 2: to step up.

152
00:06:48,588 --> 00:06:50,708
Speaker 5: But I also think they have the institutional knowledge of

153
00:06:51,348 --> 00:06:53,748
Speaker 5: in Mahomes we trust. Last year in the AFC Championship Game,

154
00:06:53,788 --> 00:06:56,108
Speaker 5: they're going up against Cincinnati. They don't have Kadarius Tony,

155
00:06:56,108 --> 00:06:57,788
Speaker 5: they don't have Juju Smith Schuster, he goes down with

156
00:06:57,788 --> 00:06:59,828
Speaker 5: an injury, no McCall Hartman, and it's like, we need.

157
00:06:59,788 --> 00:07:01,188
Speaker 2: Other guys to set up that.

158
00:07:01,268 --> 00:07:04,308
Speaker 5: Scantling stepped up, Justin Watson stepped up, sky Moore stepped up.

159
00:07:04,428 --> 00:07:06,828
Speaker 5: Super Bowl, there's Kadarius Tony making the big punt return

160
00:07:06,948 --> 00:07:08,988
Speaker 5: Super Bowl as they have Pachaco making the big run

161
00:07:09,068 --> 00:07:10,628
Speaker 5: a seventh round pick. The Chiefs are meant for this,

162
00:07:10,828 --> 00:07:13,068
Speaker 5: like this might have to be Justin Ross making a play.

163
00:07:13,228 --> 00:07:15,428
Speaker 5: This might have to be Rush she Rice making a play.

164
00:07:15,828 --> 00:07:18,428
Speaker 5: This might have to mean someone like Noah Gray or

165
00:07:18,508 --> 00:07:20,908
Speaker 5: Fortson has to do something that's going to you know,

166
00:07:21,108 --> 00:07:23,468
Speaker 5: step up. But make no mistake about this, this is

167
00:07:23,508 --> 00:07:25,628
Speaker 5: a huge loss. If they don't have him, talk, this

168
00:07:25,748 --> 00:07:27,508
Speaker 5: is going to be a shootout tomorrow. You don't have

169
00:07:27,588 --> 00:07:31,108
Speaker 5: Travis Kelce in a shootout. To Chason's point, we'll talk

170
00:07:31,148 --> 00:07:33,388
Speaker 5: about durability at the quarterback position all the time. It's

171
00:07:33,388 --> 00:07:35,828
Speaker 5: like Eli never misses a snap and you know, far

172
00:07:35,988 --> 00:07:38,548
Speaker 5: played all the straight game. This guy never missed the

173
00:07:38,588 --> 00:07:42,828
Speaker 5: game at tight end and he's blocking. His reliability is

174
00:07:43,268 --> 00:07:45,308
Speaker 5: maybe his greatest quality, and it's why he's able to

175
00:07:45,308 --> 00:07:46,308
Speaker 5: accumulate these stats.

176
00:07:46,588 --> 00:07:47,228
Speaker 2: Beyond being an.

177
00:07:47,108 --> 00:07:49,748
Speaker 5: Amazing football player, but he keeps himself in shape, he

178
00:07:49,788 --> 00:07:52,188
Speaker 5: stays out of the injury room, and he is always

179
00:07:52,228 --> 00:07:53,788
Speaker 5: ready to go on game day. I don't know if

180
00:07:53,788 --> 00:07:55,708
Speaker 5: he's gonna be ready to go tomorrow. I think it's

181
00:07:55,708 --> 00:07:58,588
Speaker 5: a major loss. I don't I don't know what to

182
00:07:58,708 --> 00:08:00,988
Speaker 5: say when it's like, these are your only three games

183
00:08:01,068 --> 00:08:04,228
Speaker 5: you've you've ever missed as a pro, and it's not

184
00:08:04,428 --> 00:08:05,028
Speaker 5: as you're injured.

185
00:08:05,188 --> 00:08:08,148
Speaker 2: It's because you know what, Either A, I'm.

186
00:08:07,988 --> 00:08:10,068
Speaker 5: Not going to play because we're already clinching a playoff spot,

187
00:08:10,228 --> 00:08:12,508
Speaker 5: or B it's the last game of the season and

188
00:08:12,668 --> 00:08:14,028
Speaker 5: we're not going to address our starters.

189
00:08:14,268 --> 00:08:16,548
Speaker 2: I will tell you, I think it's a major loss.

190
00:08:16,788 --> 00:08:19,028
Speaker 5: And if you're going in a shootout in this Detroit

191
00:08:19,108 --> 00:08:20,828
Speaker 5: Lions offense, but I think they can be I think

192
00:08:20,868 --> 00:08:22,148
Speaker 5: it hurts them in a big way and they could

193
00:08:22,148 --> 00:08:22,428
Speaker 5: be in an.

194
00:08:22,348 --> 00:08:24,708
Speaker 2: O one one hole. They don't have Kelsey. I hate this.

195
00:08:24,988 --> 00:08:26,588
Speaker 2: I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I

196
00:08:26,668 --> 00:08:28,468
Speaker 2: hate it. I hate it. Tomorrow's Christmas.

197
00:08:28,628 --> 00:08:30,508
Speaker 1: We've been waiting months and months, and we've been looking

198
00:08:30,548 --> 00:08:33,068
Speaker 1: at all our presents and it's like, Mom takes the

199
00:08:33,108 --> 00:08:33,948
Speaker 1: present you've been looking at.

200
00:08:33,948 --> 00:08:35,228
Speaker 2: It's like, you can't have this one. This goes on

201
00:08:35,308 --> 00:08:36,868
Speaker 2: top of the fridge, But I want that one. I

202
00:08:36,948 --> 00:08:37,628
Speaker 2: want my Kelsey.

203
00:08:37,868 --> 00:08:39,988
Speaker 1: And you know, I listen, you know other guys will

204
00:08:40,068 --> 00:08:43,868
Speaker 1: step up and other players, you know what, Gret It's yeah,

205
00:08:44,148 --> 00:08:45,748
Speaker 1: like all right, so you go back in the day,

206
00:08:45,948 --> 00:08:47,748
Speaker 1: like I got tickets to Hamilton.

207
00:08:47,948 --> 00:08:49,268
Speaker 2: I want to see this Lynn Manuel.

208
00:08:49,308 --> 00:08:50,748
Speaker 1: And there's that little thing in the playable it says

209
00:08:50,908 --> 00:08:53,508
Speaker 1: the part of Alexander Hamilton tonight will be played by

210
00:08:53,868 --> 00:08:54,548
Speaker 1: Keith Schwartz.

211
00:08:54,748 --> 00:08:56,548
Speaker 2: Like, what the hell, Keith? I don't want to see

212
00:08:56,588 --> 00:08:57,748
Speaker 2: Keith Schwartz. I came to.

213
00:08:57,788 --> 00:09:00,388
Speaker 1: Broadway to see Lynn Manuel. I want to see Kelsey

214
00:09:00,548 --> 00:09:02,428
Speaker 1: so bad, but I hate it. I don't want it

215
00:09:02,588 --> 00:09:04,828
Speaker 1: this to happen at all. However, I had actually think

216
00:09:04,948 --> 00:09:08,908
Speaker 1: this is a massive story about the Lions. It's gonna

217
00:09:08,988 --> 00:09:11,428
Speaker 1: hurt the Chiefs on the field, but the story now

218
00:09:11,548 --> 00:09:13,908
Speaker 1: is shifting to the Lions to Troit needs to.

219
00:09:13,908 --> 00:09:14,428
Speaker 2: Win this game.

220
00:09:14,948 --> 00:09:17,908
Speaker 1: Okay, this is not like go in there, put up

221
00:09:17,948 --> 00:09:20,628
Speaker 1: a fight, represent yourself, give them a good game. If

222
00:09:20,708 --> 00:09:24,588
Speaker 1: you're playing the Chiefs without two of their three best players,

223
00:09:24,788 --> 00:09:25,708
Speaker 1: you win that game.

224
00:09:25,908 --> 00:09:27,828
Speaker 2: Kelsey's out, Jones is out.

225
00:09:28,068 --> 00:09:30,628
Speaker 1: If you were a grown up Detroit Lions, if you

226
00:09:30,708 --> 00:09:32,748
Speaker 1: were in the deep end of the pool, win the game.

227
00:09:33,028 --> 00:09:34,908
Speaker 2: That whole thing about keep it close and it'll get

228
00:09:34,948 --> 00:09:36,148
Speaker 2: blown out is over.

229
00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:39,748
Speaker 1: With this development, they're losing a first batt Hall of

230
00:09:39,788 --> 00:09:41,868
Speaker 1: Fame or losing a Top ten NFL player in Jones

231
00:09:41,908 --> 00:09:45,068
Speaker 1: and Kelsey. Guys, the Chiefs are severely weakened, severely.

232
00:09:45,308 --> 00:09:47,988
Speaker 2: You should win this game, not keep it close, not

233
00:09:48,108 --> 00:09:51,788
Speaker 2: almost have it. Beat the Chiefs. Honestly, if you can't.

234
00:09:51,908 --> 00:09:53,988
Speaker 1: If you can't beat the Chiefs when they're this weekend,

235
00:09:54,188 --> 00:09:55,948
Speaker 1: who are you gonna beat that matters this year?

236
00:09:56,308 --> 00:09:58,748
Speaker 2: You're not the New Lions. You should win this.

237
00:09:59,388 --> 00:10:03,308
Speaker 1: This injury oddly puts a lot of pressure on Detroit's

238
00:10:03,748 --> 00:10:05,188
Speaker 1: because here's what's gonna happen.

239
00:10:05,188 --> 00:10:07,748
Speaker 2: If Kelsey doesn't play. The storylines are gonna be.

240
00:10:08,188 --> 00:10:11,388
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Chiefs lost, but they lost without Kelsey as

241
00:10:11,428 --> 00:10:13,508
Speaker 1: an asterisk, and they didn't have Jones. And even if

242
00:10:13,508 --> 00:10:16,028
Speaker 1: the Lions win, they're gonna get hit with an ashes

243
00:10:16,028 --> 00:10:18,708
Speaker 1: because you didn't really beat the Chiefs. Screw all that,

244
00:10:18,988 --> 00:10:21,588
Speaker 1: you know, would even worse if you lose to the Chiefs.

245
00:10:21,748 --> 00:10:24,028
Speaker 1: None of this, keep it close, win this game. You

246
00:10:24,108 --> 00:10:26,228
Speaker 1: were different than the last fifty years of lines football

247
00:10:26,268 --> 00:10:28,388
Speaker 1: ort We've been told you should win if it was

248
00:10:28,468 --> 00:10:30,868
Speaker 1: some other team going in there that's allegedly a contender,

249
00:10:31,108 --> 00:10:33,948
Speaker 1: if it was Baltimore, if it was Dallas, if it

250
00:10:33,988 --> 00:10:36,188
Speaker 1: was Philadelphia, like oh, Kelsey and Jones are out.

251
00:10:36,388 --> 00:10:37,988
Speaker 2: I got the Eagles, I got the Raims, I have

252
00:10:38,068 --> 00:10:40,468
Speaker 2: the Bengals. Why not the Lions. You should win this game?

253
00:10:40,668 --> 00:10:42,508
Speaker 2: Win it, not stay close, win it.

254
00:10:42,748 --> 00:10:45,028
Speaker 4: I'm sure the people that put NFL enterprise, would you

255
00:10:45,068 --> 00:10:46,908
Speaker 4: hear our paychecks say and it will enterprise on the

256
00:10:46,988 --> 00:10:47,628
Speaker 4: upper left corner.

257
00:10:47,708 --> 00:10:49,988
Speaker 8: Don't aren't gonna appreciate me saying this. He shouldn't play,

258
00:10:50,388 --> 00:10:51,188
Speaker 8: don't play him.

259
00:10:51,348 --> 00:10:54,308
Speaker 4: If there is a flicker of swelling in that guy's knee,

260
00:10:54,348 --> 00:10:56,388
Speaker 4: you don't do that to him week one. They have

261
00:10:56,508 --> 00:10:58,988
Speaker 4: ten days then until they have to play again. Give

262
00:10:59,028 --> 00:11:01,148
Speaker 4: it a beat to get This is Travis Kelce. There

263
00:11:01,188 --> 00:11:03,708
Speaker 4: are eight seventeen more weeks ahead of you after this.

264
00:11:03,868 --> 00:11:04,828
Speaker 8: You can't do that to him.

265
00:11:04,908 --> 00:11:06,868
Speaker 4: To the Chiefs, there's too much on the line in

266
00:11:06,948 --> 00:11:09,508
Speaker 4: the longevity of this thing. Can the Chiefs beat him

267
00:11:09,508 --> 00:11:11,588
Speaker 4: without Travis Kelsey? Sure they have Patrick Mahomes, but your

268
00:11:11,628 --> 00:11:13,948
Speaker 4: Tom Brady put it is interesting because anytime I reference

269
00:11:13,988 --> 00:11:16,068
Speaker 4: to Tom Brady, thought of like he made all these

270
00:11:16,268 --> 00:11:17,908
Speaker 4: random wide receivers.

271
00:11:17,428 --> 00:11:20,708
Speaker 8: Good, but he always had Gronk. He always had Rob Gronkowski.

272
00:11:20,748 --> 00:11:23,428
Speaker 4: I think to look at to translate quick to understand

273
00:11:23,628 --> 00:11:26,508
Speaker 4: check down anything, go out and do something spectacular. Reset

274
00:11:26,588 --> 00:11:29,588
Speaker 4: the downs go out, Okay, then you can make Edelman shine,

275
00:11:29,668 --> 00:11:31,748
Speaker 4: or then you can make whoever it was that week shine.

276
00:11:31,908 --> 00:11:33,188
Speaker 8: That's his security blanket.

277
00:11:33,428 --> 00:11:36,668
Speaker 4: And from even from like a personality standpoint, a team

278
00:11:36,708 --> 00:11:41,428
Speaker 4: chemistry standpoint, those two are peanut butter jelly and the

279
00:11:41,548 --> 00:11:43,868
Speaker 4: homes will be fine. But it's more, I don't think

280
00:11:43,908 --> 00:11:46,788
Speaker 4: they should play him. This is about the bigger picture here,

281
00:11:47,508 --> 00:11:50,268
Speaker 4: and it could be really hard. It could be hard,

282
00:11:50,388 --> 00:11:51,188
Speaker 4: makes the game very.

283
00:11:51,668 --> 00:11:53,748
Speaker 5: Comes into the trainer's office, looks at Rick Burke Kolder,

284
00:11:53,788 --> 00:11:56,948
Speaker 5: the legendary trainers as I can go. He can't tell

285
00:11:56,988 --> 00:11:59,388
Speaker 5: him though it is a thirty four year old guy

286
00:11:59,428 --> 00:12:00,148
Speaker 5: who's played in.

287
00:12:00,508 --> 00:12:02,628
Speaker 4: You don't think the lines are hitting him differently though,

288
00:12:02,788 --> 00:12:05,428
Speaker 4: knowing that there is a would you do it anyways?

289
00:12:05,468 --> 00:12:07,508
Speaker 8: No, Chris Jians, No, Travis Kelce, we.

290
00:12:07,548 --> 00:12:08,148
Speaker 2: Don't know that yet.

291
00:12:09,548 --> 00:12:11,348
Speaker 1: I still think he's gonna play and I don't I

292
00:12:11,348 --> 00:12:14,828
Speaker 1: don't have sources when you bring up what he's done,

293
00:12:14,948 --> 00:12:17,548
Speaker 1: and like Kelsey is, it's gonna be arrowhead, The banner

294
00:12:17,628 --> 00:12:19,428
Speaker 1: is gonna be hung like he's gonna be like, you're

295
00:12:19,428 --> 00:12:21,228
Speaker 1: gonna have to put me down. I'm thinking it's one

296
00:12:21,228 --> 00:12:23,068
Speaker 1: of those things like it's also it's like it's a

297
00:12:23,108 --> 00:12:24,668
Speaker 1: reason to tune in. You're gonna be like, and Kelsey

298
00:12:24,788 --> 00:12:26,948
Speaker 1: is out there running around and then he's got the

299
00:12:27,068 --> 00:12:29,868
Speaker 1: pads on, and I can just picture the sideline reporter saying,

300
00:12:29,868 --> 00:12:31,628
Speaker 1: Travis Kels is gonna give it a go, and like

301
00:12:31,828 --> 00:12:33,788
Speaker 1: it'll be like Daniel versus is gonna fight.

302
00:12:34,068 --> 00:12:34,868
Speaker 2: I hope he does play.

303
00:12:35,228 --> 00:12:37,548
Speaker 7: Really, that'd be interesting because it'll be one of those

304
00:12:37,708 --> 00:12:40,108
Speaker 7: game time where to your point, he's out there warming up.

305
00:12:40,228 --> 00:12:42,468
Speaker 7: There's those lower extremity injuries for a tight end or

306
00:12:42,508 --> 00:12:45,028
Speaker 7: wide receiver, DV whatever. There could be a case where

307
00:12:45,028 --> 00:12:46,748
Speaker 7: it's just like you just can't go, you can't run.

308
00:12:46,988 --> 00:12:49,868
Speaker 7: Like you heard Ane the week of the game, would

309
00:12:49,988 --> 00:12:52,188
Speaker 7: Ian say the day before the day before the game,

310
00:12:52,828 --> 00:12:55,068
Speaker 7: that's tough certain ones you see.

311
00:12:55,108 --> 00:12:58,188
Speaker 5: You're just like to your friends in the fantasy group chat,

312
00:12:58,308 --> 00:13:01,628
Speaker 5: are they devastated or I'm devastated he's on my team.

313
00:13:02,228 --> 00:13:03,948
Speaker 1: I'm devast And you probably had to make such a

Speaker 6: a long time and an opportunity to presented itself. I

356
00:14:57,908 --> 00:15:00,588
Speaker 6: think we all played this game for these types of opportunities.

357
00:15:00,628 --> 00:15:02,588
Speaker 6: So they came to me and presented it with me,

358
00:15:02,708 --> 00:15:04,668
Speaker 6: and I kind of wanted to put my own. So

00:15:09,188 --> 00:15:11,028
Speaker 6: at the game. You're like a nice chicken sand with

362
00:15:11,148 --> 00:15:13,348
Speaker 6: a nice brute. And then we're doing chicken fingers. And

00:15:27,388 --> 00:15:28,988
Speaker 6: Well you're drinking and eating at the same time, so

370
00:15:29,068 --> 00:15:31,028
Speaker 6: you get it all done the same time. It's it's

371
00:15:31,068 --> 00:15:32,868
Speaker 6: kind of like close capture. I tell my kids all

372
00:15:32,868 --> 00:15:34,628
Speaker 6: the time. You get a chance to watch TV and

373
00:15:34,788 --> 00:15:35,628
Speaker 6: read at the same time.

374
00:15:36,988 --> 00:15:37,508
Speaker 2: It's great.

375
00:15:37,748 --> 00:15:39,108
Speaker 7: And it's called Big Walt's Kitchen.

376
00:15:39,268 --> 00:15:41,148
Speaker 6: It called Big Wall Kitchen. It's something that you know,

377
00:15:41,228 --> 00:15:44,068
Speaker 6: I'm looking forward to to be, like you say, to

378
00:15:44,188 --> 00:15:46,228
Speaker 6: be from Seattle, to play my entire career in Seattle,

379
00:15:46,268 --> 00:15:48,388
Speaker 6: or to able to to still have something going on

380
00:15:48,668 --> 00:15:50,668
Speaker 6: in the stadium. It's pretty awesome. And it's called Big

381
00:15:50,668 --> 00:15:52,908
Speaker 6: Swats Kitchen, and it's a little Southern flair. Just the

382
00:15:52,988 --> 00:15:54,908
Speaker 6: first year, so just kind of playing with it and

383
00:15:54,948 --> 00:15:55,668
Speaker 6: see what happens.

384
00:15:55,908 --> 00:15:58,828
Speaker 5: Only twelve seasons for the Seahawks, and we're talking right

385
00:15:58,828 --> 00:16:01,308
Speaker 5: now about all these different holdouts and we're laughing in

386
00:16:01,348 --> 00:16:03,308
Speaker 5: the commercial break. You weren't really a hold up, but

387
00:16:03,468 --> 00:16:05,348
Speaker 5: I remember covering the game when you were playing it.

388
00:16:05,428 --> 00:16:06,708
Speaker 2: It's like the sea how you do this thing.

389
00:16:06,748 --> 00:16:09,548
Speaker 5: But Walter Jones is at home in Alabama and he's

390
00:16:09,588 --> 00:16:10,588
Speaker 5: pushing sleds on his own.

391
00:16:10,588 --> 00:16:13,388
Speaker 2: I didn't think you wouldn't be there during.

392
00:16:13,268 --> 00:16:14,868
Speaker 5: Training camp a lot of times because you just do

393
00:16:14,948 --> 00:16:16,228
Speaker 5: your own thing and be like, I'll show up when

394
00:16:16,228 --> 00:16:16,908
Speaker 5: the season starts.

395
00:16:16,948 --> 00:16:18,388
Speaker 2: What was your philosophy back then?

396
00:16:18,588 --> 00:16:19,588
Speaker 6: I just wanted to be ready.

397
00:16:19,588 --> 00:16:19,708
Speaker 1: You know.

398
00:16:19,748 --> 00:16:21,028
Speaker 6: I think a lot of guys you know when you

399
00:16:21,668 --> 00:16:23,348
Speaker 6: play the game because you love it. But still again,

400
00:16:23,348 --> 00:16:25,188
Speaker 6: we understand it's a business. And at that time, I

401
00:16:25,308 --> 00:16:26,908
Speaker 6: was just trying to get ready. I knew that if

402
00:16:26,948 --> 00:16:29,268
Speaker 6: I missed training camp, I had to be ready to play,

403
00:16:29,468 --> 00:16:31,188
Speaker 6: so that those are things I did. I came from

404
00:16:31,228 --> 00:16:33,108
Speaker 6: a very small school and we didn't have a lot

405
00:16:33,108 --> 00:16:35,268
Speaker 6: of weight equipment, so that's what we did to get ready,

406
00:16:35,388 --> 00:16:37,108
Speaker 6: was put to push the truck. So I just went

407
00:16:37,228 --> 00:16:39,068
Speaker 6: back to that. I tried to do it privately, but

408
00:16:39,228 --> 00:16:41,868
Speaker 6: somebody caught video of it. So but from a standpoint

409
00:16:41,908 --> 00:16:43,668
Speaker 6: for me and the game I play, I try to

410
00:16:43,708 --> 00:16:45,748
Speaker 6: try offense alignments all the time. Do what's going to

411
00:16:45,788 --> 00:16:47,228
Speaker 6: get you ready for the game. I can't be out

412
00:16:47,228 --> 00:16:49,548
Speaker 6: here renting sprints with the receivers of the running backs

413
00:16:49,548 --> 00:16:50,708
Speaker 6: I got to be doing what I got to do

414
00:16:50,828 --> 00:16:52,028
Speaker 6: to be ready to play on something.

415
00:16:52,028 --> 00:16:54,068
Speaker 2: What do you make of these guys like both?

416
00:16:54,748 --> 00:16:57,588
Speaker 5: And we of course have Chris Jones saying, hey, I'm

417
00:16:57,588 --> 00:16:59,108
Speaker 5: not getting on that field until I get mine.

418
00:16:59,708 --> 00:17:02,148
Speaker 6: I think it's smart. I think for for all these guys,

419
00:17:02,188 --> 00:17:03,988
Speaker 6: it's all about after the game is over. You know.

420
00:17:04,068 --> 00:17:06,188
Speaker 6: I try to tell all these guys that's life out

421
00:17:06,228 --> 00:17:07,948
Speaker 6: of the game of football. So if you can make

422
00:17:07,948 --> 00:17:09,588
Speaker 6: as much money as you can make it while you're

423
00:17:09,588 --> 00:17:11,388
Speaker 6: still playing, you're mister Seahawks.

424
00:17:11,428 --> 00:17:13,348
Speaker 2: You did TV work for them, you know the team.

425
00:17:13,468 --> 00:17:16,148
Speaker 2: So yesterday Walter, we did our playoff prediction picks who

426
00:17:16,148 --> 00:17:17,668
Speaker 2: we think is going to win the division? Shows got

427
00:17:17,708 --> 00:17:19,748
Speaker 2: a lot of love. I think they're gonna win the West.

428
00:17:19,788 --> 00:17:21,748
Speaker 2: What did you guys have? Me and you both both

429
00:17:21,828 --> 00:17:23,588
Speaker 2: we both win in the West in the playoffs are

430
00:17:23,828 --> 00:17:26,588
Speaker 2: wild card, so we like the Seahawks. Tell us what's

431
00:17:26,708 --> 00:17:30,468
Speaker 2: interesting to you about this Seahawks team this fall? For personally?

432
00:17:30,628 --> 00:17:32,268
Speaker 6: For me, you know, I'm an offensive guy, so I'm

433
00:17:32,308 --> 00:17:34,068
Speaker 6: gonna go on offense. I think the thing that the

434
00:17:34,148 --> 00:17:36,148
Speaker 6: way that Gino played last year, I thought last year

435
00:17:36,228 --> 00:17:37,988
Speaker 6: was one of those years where everybody thought this might

436
00:17:38,108 --> 00:17:40,108
Speaker 6: gonna be a dad year. This is a rebial year.

437
00:17:40,148 --> 00:17:42,628
Speaker 6: And Gino came in and played the game the way

438
00:17:42,748 --> 00:17:44,988
Speaker 6: is supposed to be played. It kind of like the

439
00:17:45,068 --> 00:17:47,148
Speaker 6: way Pete want to play. Don't put the ball in danger,

440
00:17:47,388 --> 00:17:48,748
Speaker 6: you know, put the ball where it need to be

441
00:17:48,868 --> 00:17:50,508
Speaker 6: and give it to your running back. And then you

442
00:17:50,588 --> 00:17:52,428
Speaker 6: see all the pick ups that we got on offense

443
00:17:52,468 --> 00:17:54,388
Speaker 6: too with the receivers. I just want to see what

444
00:17:54,548 --> 00:17:56,348
Speaker 6: this offense is gonna look like this year with Gino

445
00:17:56,468 --> 00:17:58,628
Speaker 6: and then they brought Body back. I think that's gonna

446
00:17:58,628 --> 00:18:00,468
Speaker 6: be great for those younger guys, because for me, I'm

447
00:18:00,508 --> 00:18:02,948
Speaker 6: all about veteran guys. Watching those guys. You don't have

448
00:18:02,988 --> 00:18:05,388
Speaker 6: to talk. Just watch those guys. You have those guys prepared,

449
00:18:05,428 --> 00:18:07,028
Speaker 6: and I think he's going to help his defense. It's

450
00:18:07,148 --> 00:18:09,348
Speaker 6: very young defense be better this year for this season.

451
00:18:09,508 --> 00:18:11,268
Speaker 4: It's so cool to hear you talk about guys in

452
00:18:11,348 --> 00:18:13,668
Speaker 4: the game now and how veteran leadership is important. But

453
00:18:13,788 --> 00:18:16,268
Speaker 4: it was your mentor, Courts Kennedy that brought you here today.

454
00:18:16,308 --> 00:18:19,068
Speaker 4: He were jersey number ninety six. Tragically he passed away

455
00:18:19,188 --> 00:18:21,428
Speaker 4: back in twenty seventeen, but every year on this date

456
00:18:21,508 --> 00:18:24,428
Speaker 4: September sixth, ninety six. You honor courts Haz's memory by

457
00:18:24,508 --> 00:18:26,988
Speaker 4: calling or texting one of your former NFL teammates. It's

458
00:18:27,028 --> 00:18:29,268
Speaker 4: called the ninety six check, and we have a clip

459
00:18:29,348 --> 00:18:30,948
Speaker 4: of some of the calls that wont made last year.

00:18:55,988 --> 00:18:59,268
Speaker 6: the game, and for me personally. When he passed away,

472
00:18:59,308 --> 00:19:01,748
Speaker 6: you go meet their family in France and the number

473
00:19:01,788 --> 00:19:03,548
Speaker 6: one thing they say that he always check up on you,

474
00:19:03,628 --> 00:19:05,588
Speaker 6: And so for me, I wanted to do something to

475
00:19:06,228 --> 00:19:08,508

00:20:05,188 --> 00:20:08,188
Speaker 4: Time for wake up Call presented by Verizon. Prediction Week

505
00:20:08,428 --> 00:20:11,148
Speaker 4: is here. We're living it on Good Morning Football. We're

506
00:20:11,188 --> 00:20:13,788
Speaker 4: going to reveal our Pickscore League MVP later in the show,

507
00:20:13,868 --> 00:20:16,988
Speaker 4: but right now, defensive side of the ball. Kyle, predict

508
00:20:17,068 --> 00:20:18,468
Speaker 4: your defensive Player of the Year.

509
00:20:18,588 --> 00:20:20,188
Speaker 2: Please, I'd love to do that for you.

510
00:20:20,348 --> 00:20:20,548
Speaker 8: Thank you.

511
00:20:20,628 --> 00:20:23,468
Speaker 1: There's so many great players, so many choices, so many headliners.

512
00:20:23,508 --> 00:20:25,428
Speaker 1: I think the big names, the favorites call it the

513
00:20:25,508 --> 00:20:29,068
Speaker 1: one seed. I'm going to go with like an eight seed,

514
00:20:29,948 --> 00:20:32,348
Speaker 1: maybe someone you're not expecting and someone you might be

515
00:20:32,468 --> 00:20:38,588
Speaker 1: seeing very very soon. I think the defensive Player of

516
00:20:38,588 --> 00:20:40,028
Speaker 1: the Year is going to go Tomorrow night against the

517
00:20:40,108 --> 00:20:41,828
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, and I think it's going to be

518
00:20:41,868 --> 00:20:42,508
Speaker 1: Aiden Hutchinson.

519
00:20:43,788 --> 00:20:44,508
Speaker 2: I believe in it.

520
00:20:44,748 --> 00:20:46,788
Speaker 1: He did the Michael Jackson, he did the dance, but

521
00:20:46,868 --> 00:20:48,668
Speaker 1: never mind that he did the thing on the field

522
00:20:48,788 --> 00:20:52,708
Speaker 1: last year, Sacks interceptions a huge part of their late

523
00:20:52,788 --> 00:20:55,828
Speaker 1: season run. This is a second year, massive leap that

524
00:20:55,948 --> 00:20:57,708
Speaker 1: this guy's going to make. And guess what I think

525
00:20:57,748 --> 00:20:59,788
Speaker 1: it starts Thursday night in the Arrowhead Stadium. I think

526
00:20:59,828 --> 00:21:02,308
Speaker 1: he gets two sacks against Mahomes and Aiden Hutchinson is

527
00:21:02,308 --> 00:21:05,548
Speaker 1: your leader and eventually your winner for defensive player theear guys,

528
00:21:05,588 --> 00:21:07,388
Speaker 1: a Lion Defensive.

529
00:21:06,988 --> 00:21:08,508
Speaker 2: Player of the Year. I love that guy. Think he

530
00:21:08,548 --> 00:21:08,908
Speaker 2: gets I.

531
00:21:08,948 --> 00:21:11,268
Speaker 5: See Kyle doing that with Jamie and Jason. I'm like,

532
00:21:11,388 --> 00:21:14,028
Speaker 5: always talking about a Jersey boy. That's Frankie Valley Jersey Boys,

533
00:21:14,068 --> 00:21:14,868
Speaker 5: not Michael Jackson.

534
00:21:14,908 --> 00:21:17,108
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, okay, I guess never mind, he's talking

535
00:21:17,148 --> 00:21:18,428
Speaker 2: about baby.

536
00:21:19,628 --> 00:21:21,788
Speaker 5: I'm like, he's going with.

537
00:21:21,908 --> 00:21:26,588
Speaker 2: A Genesee, a Lion. I'm gonna go with a guy who's.

538
00:21:26,348 --> 00:21:30,748
Speaker 5: Tattooed head to toe NFL legends, boxing legends. And I

539
00:21:30,828 --> 00:21:32,828
Speaker 5: know that they played the Rams in inner squad practices

540
00:21:32,828 --> 00:21:35,468
Speaker 5: and all the Rams guys were like this dude just absolutely.

541
00:21:35,028 --> 00:21:37,948
Speaker 2: Dominated a lot of these games. Max Crosby is my

542
00:21:38,148 --> 00:21:42,628
Speaker 2: defensive Player of the Year. Max contract situation, go ball

543
00:21:42,708 --> 00:21:44,668
Speaker 2: out two x'es on his name. One of my favorite

544
00:21:44,708 --> 00:21:47,388
Speaker 2: players in the league. Absolute savage, and.

545
00:21:47,428 --> 00:21:50,348
Speaker 5: I think this Raiders team is going to be improved

546
00:21:50,388 --> 00:21:51,868
Speaker 5: from last year. I think the defense is gonna be

547
00:21:51,908 --> 00:21:54,028
Speaker 5: the biggest part. Max Crosby is gonna get close to

548
00:21:54,108 --> 00:21:56,028
Speaker 5: twenty sacks. I'm going him my defensive Player of the Year.

549
00:21:56,188 --> 00:21:58,628
Speaker 4: Max Peter, I'll take a cue off of what you

550
00:21:58,788 --> 00:22:01,988
Speaker 4: thought Kyle was doing I'm not gonna sing Sherry Baby,

551
00:22:02,108 --> 00:22:03,508
Speaker 4: but I will say Quinn.

552
00:22:04,988 --> 00:22:08,108
Speaker 8: Quinn in Baya.

553
00:22:07,748 --> 00:22:09,748
Speaker 4: Williams gonna be my defensive player of the Year for

554
00:22:09,868 --> 00:22:12,788
Speaker 4: the Jets. You know why, because all he gets the

555
00:22:12,948 --> 00:22:15,028
Speaker 4: sacks eleven. Did you just have one game he had

556
00:22:15,068 --> 00:22:16,988
Speaker 4: eleven sacks in the preseason.

557
00:22:17,068 --> 00:22:18,148
Speaker 8: No, I don't know if there was that many.

558
00:22:18,188 --> 00:22:21,868
Speaker 4: But he's got charisma, he's got personality. He's probably gonna

559
00:22:21,988 --> 00:22:24,388
Speaker 4: mass like forty seven sacks this season if you ask him.

560
00:22:24,828 --> 00:22:27,588
Speaker 4: He's got getting after it. He got paid this season.

561
00:22:27,708 --> 00:22:30,428
Speaker 4: Jets are gonna be really good. Quinn Williams and Plusty

562
00:22:30,508 --> 00:22:31,388
Speaker 4: Strying just convinced me.

563
00:22:31,948 --> 00:22:36,628
Speaker 7: That with the guy he had the most sacks in

564
00:22:37,228 --> 00:22:39,508
Speaker 7: joint practice history, where you're not allowed to touch the

565
00:22:39,588 --> 00:22:42,628
Speaker 7: quarterback on eleven sacks, unbelievable. I'm going with the guy

566
00:22:42,708 --> 00:22:44,268
Speaker 7: you guys went under it. I'm going with a guy

567
00:22:44,268 --> 00:22:46,628
Speaker 7: at the very top of the list. I'm going with

568
00:22:46,708 --> 00:22:50,228
Speaker 7: a guy that plays in Cleveland, who is an absolute monster,

569
00:22:50,348 --> 00:22:51,668
Speaker 7: who's a great athlete.

570
00:22:51,988 --> 00:22:53,388
Speaker 6: I'm going with Miles Garrett.

571
00:22:53,508 --> 00:22:54,308
Speaker 2: I'm going with him.

572
00:22:54,148 --> 00:22:57,868
Speaker 7: Because if you saw this guy chasing your quarterback, you'd

573
00:22:57,908 --> 00:23:02,468
Speaker 7: be absolutely terrified. Your kids would be having nightmares. This

574
00:23:02,748 --> 00:23:05,868
Speaker 7: is the guy I'm going with that Beco from Stranger

575
00:23:05,988 --> 00:23:09,508
Speaker 7: Things as Miles Garrett is Halloween costume, that is when

576
00:23:09,548 --> 00:23:12,108
Speaker 7: he embodies when he is out there on the football field.

577
00:23:12,628 --> 00:23:16,428
Speaker 7: Miles Garrett, defensive player of the year racking up sacks

578
00:23:16,708 --> 00:23:18,028
Speaker 7: to Derrick Smith is now on.

579
00:23:18,068 --> 00:23:19,748
Speaker 2: The other side of him. That will get him more

580
00:23:19,828 --> 00:23:20,548
Speaker 2: one on ones.

581
00:23:20,908 --> 00:23:23,868
Speaker 7: Miles Garrett with Jim Schwartz is a defensive coordinator.

582
00:23:24,068 --> 00:23:24,868
Speaker 2: You said Max.

583
00:23:24,708 --> 00:23:27,468
Speaker 7: Crosby near twenty sacks, He's going to be close because

584
00:23:27,508 --> 00:23:29,868
Speaker 7: Miles Garrett is going to have twenty sacks right above

585
00:23:29,948 --> 00:23:30,468
Speaker 7: him to win the.

586
00:23:30,468 --> 00:23:31,268
Speaker 2: Defensive There it is.

587
00:23:31,468 --> 00:23:31,628
Speaker 1: It is.

588
00:23:32,188 --> 00:23:34,868
Speaker 2: We got a Lion, a Jet, a Brown, and a Raider.

589
00:23:35,028 --> 00:23:37,348
Speaker 5: None of the teams for playoff teams and nobody in

590
00:23:37,428 --> 00:23:37,988
Speaker 5: the secondary.

591
00:23:38,028 --> 00:23:40,548
Speaker 1: Peter, you mentioned that speaking this historically, you do not

592
00:23:40,668 --> 00:23:41,708
Speaker 1: have the Raiders in the playoffs.

593
00:23:41,868 --> 00:23:44,148
Speaker 2: No, but yeah, Max Crisby, is that possible, Yeah, I

594
00:23:44,308 --> 00:23:47,028
Speaker 2: guess of sacks. Yeah, it's not like any you don't

595
00:23:47,028 --> 00:23:47,908
Speaker 2: have to make the playoffs.

596
00:23:48,068 --> 00:23:50,308
Speaker 5: None of us pick Michael Parsons, none of us pick

597
00:23:50,348 --> 00:23:54,348
Speaker 5: Bosa one Seasick j Watt got to go outside the

598
00:23:54,348 --> 00:23:56,148
Speaker 5: box sometimes. Yeah, and we'll see what we do with

599
00:23:56,188 --> 00:23:58,148
Speaker 5: our MVP picks. Maybe they're outside the box as well.

600
00:23:58,868 --> 00:24:00,708
Speaker 8: Good did you just want to sing in dance today?

601
00:24:00,788 --> 00:24:02,228
Speaker 2: Is that why you wanted to be I'm not allowed.

602
00:24:02,508 --> 00:24:05,228
Speaker 2: I I'm not allowed to do doing a commercial break?

603
00:24:05,308 --> 00:24:07,028
Speaker 8: All right, great, I'm proud of you for doing that.

604
00:24:07,308 --> 00:24:09,668
Speaker 4: Mild flex from last year, I remember I picked Bosa

605
00:24:09,788 --> 00:24:12,428
Speaker 4: and Iidan Hutchinson as my I got both of those right.

606
00:24:12,468 --> 00:24:13,708
Speaker 8: I got a lot of things wrong last year, but

607
00:24:13,708 --> 00:24:14,988
Speaker 8: I got both those right. That's why I knew that

608
00:24:15,068 --> 00:24:16,508
Speaker 8: it was Jamie Aiden Sauce.

609
00:24:16,548 --> 00:24:20,308
Speaker 5: One defensive player there from the rookie. It's tough to

610
00:24:20,428 --> 00:24:21,788
Speaker 5: be there, got a lot of if you're gonna flex,

611
00:24:23,268 --> 00:24:25,548
Speaker 5: got right, you're gonna flex on it.

612
00:24:25,788 --> 00:24:29,428
Speaker 2: But she said, she said, Joey Bosa. I think right, yeah, yeah, sorry?

613
00:24:31,508 --> 00:24:31,948
Speaker 1: All right?

00:24:32,108 --> 00:24:34,228
Speaker 2: Expectation Hi with.

615
00:24:34,348 --> 00:24:36,748
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers, is there a chance that could

616
00:24:36,748 --> 00:24:38,948
Speaker 1: take a step backwards? That sounds very negative. Maybe they'll

617
00:24:38,988 --> 00:24:41,988
Speaker 1: take a leap forward. Who is going to win the NFC?

618
00:24:42,588 --> 00:24:43,628

625
00:25:09,988 --> 00:25:12,188
Speaker 4: but let's focus on this weekend whether or not the

626

00:25:14,348 --> 00:25:17,628
Speaker 4: Mike Tomlin says, the Steelers still preparing as if he'll

628
00:25:17,628 --> 00:25:18,028
Speaker 4: be present.

629
00:25:19,028 --> 00:25:19,668
Speaker 6: Yes, we are.

630
00:25:19,708 --> 00:25:22,468
Speaker 3: Preparing for Bosa. Is prudent for us to assume that

631
00:25:22,588 --> 00:25:24,268
Speaker 3: he is going to be there and prepare in that

632
00:25:24,468 --> 00:25:27,228
Speaker 3: vein as opposed to be surprised. We were in a

633
00:25:27,268 --> 00:25:30,028
Speaker 3: similar circumstance with a dynamic rusher a couple of years

634
00:25:30,028 --> 00:25:32,068
Speaker 3: ago in TJ. We got a deal done at the

635
00:25:32,108 --> 00:25:34,268
Speaker 3: eleventh hour. He showed up in the stadium and he

636
00:25:34,508 --> 00:25:36,788
Speaker 3: was TJ Watt that day. And so that's what those

637
00:25:36,868 --> 00:25:39,228
Speaker 3: guys do. They show up and they are who they are,

638
00:25:40,108 --> 00:25:41,028
Speaker 3: They are who they.

639
00:25:40,988 --> 00:25:41,508
Speaker 8: Say they are.

640
00:25:41,588 --> 00:25:43,628
Speaker 4: So the quarterback situation in San Francisco that we were

641
00:25:43,628 --> 00:25:45,188
Speaker 4: talking about all off season, it's settled.

642
00:25:45,188 --> 00:25:46,628
Speaker 8: We're good there. Yet we're still.

643
00:25:46,508 --> 00:25:48,108
Speaker 4: Focused on the forty nine Ers. They've got a game

644
00:25:48,148 --> 00:25:50,028
Speaker 4: to play this weekend. We're not sure about Nick Bosa.

645
00:25:50,108 --> 00:25:50,308
Speaker 2: Guys.

646
00:25:50,388 --> 00:25:52,428
Speaker 4: After a wild ride to the NFC title game in

647
00:25:52,468 --> 00:25:54,188
Speaker 4: twenty twenty two. Does it feel like the forty nine

648
00:25:54,268 --> 00:25:56,508
Speaker 4: ers could they take a step back this season?

649
00:25:56,628 --> 00:25:57,548
Speaker 8: With everything that went down?

650
00:25:57,708 --> 00:25:59,868
Speaker 7: Absolutely love what Mike Thomas said, Like TJ Wytt, he

651
00:25:59,868 --> 00:26:02,148
Speaker 7: showed up late eleventh hour, he got there and he

652
00:26:02,348 --> 00:26:03,028
Speaker 7: was still TJ.

653
00:26:03,188 --> 00:26:03,828
Speaker 6: Watt that day.

654
00:26:04,508 --> 00:26:07,108
Speaker 7: Very hard to win consistently in the NFL. So when

655
00:26:07,108 --> 00:26:09,068
Speaker 7: you say could the forty nine ers take a step back,

656
00:26:09,148 --> 00:26:10,948
Speaker 7: it's like, yeah, well of course they can. Like you

657
00:26:11,068 --> 00:26:13,308
Speaker 7: don't know from year to year if a team can

658
00:26:13,428 --> 00:26:15,348
Speaker 7: match that and a lot of that. We look at

659
00:26:15,388 --> 00:26:17,788
Speaker 7: it and we'll say, all right, to be successful out there,

660
00:26:18,148 --> 00:26:20,628
Speaker 7: you have to be able to have things fall just

661
00:26:21,148 --> 00:26:23,148
Speaker 7: your way, have to have a little bit of luck

662
00:26:23,228 --> 00:26:24,948
Speaker 7: to be able to go to the playoffs, to be

663
00:26:24,948 --> 00:26:26,948
Speaker 7: able to play an NFC championship game. But playing the

664
00:26:26,988 --> 00:26:28,948
Speaker 7: Super Bowl with the forty nine ers have done the

665
00:26:29,068 --> 00:26:31,868
Speaker 7: last few years, and luck hasn't always been on their side.

666
00:26:31,868 --> 00:26:34,228
Speaker 7: We look at last year, they went through multiple quarterbacks

667
00:26:34,428 --> 00:26:36,628
Speaker 7: and still found a way to be good. I look

668
00:26:36,668 --> 00:26:38,588
Speaker 7: at them on defense and at some point I expect

669
00:26:38,668 --> 00:26:40,468
Speaker 7: Bolsa to be there. Fred Warner had a sack in

670
00:26:40,508 --> 00:26:42,988
Speaker 7: the preseason, gave it to shrug because he's like, pretty

671
00:26:43,028 --> 00:26:45,348
Speaker 7: soon are guys gonna be paid. He's gonna be out there.

672
00:26:45,828 --> 00:26:48,188
Speaker 7: But they had six Pro Bowlers last year, three of

673
00:26:48,228 --> 00:26:51,268
Speaker 7: them on defense. One was obviously Bosa, but Talanole who

674
00:26:51,348 --> 00:26:53,508
Speaker 7: founder Fred Warner, were other guys out there that have

675
00:26:53,628 --> 00:26:56,428
Speaker 7: made a ton of plays. You can add Drake Greenlaw

676
00:26:56,548 --> 00:26:58,908
Speaker 7: to that, you can have Eric Armsteaden, and obviously they

677
00:26:58,948 --> 00:27:02,148
Speaker 7: added Javon Hargrave. So I think defensively, even if Bosa's

678
00:27:02,188 --> 00:27:04,788
Speaker 7: not out there Week one, they have enough to be

679
00:27:04,828 --> 00:27:06,628
Speaker 7: able to write the ship and still be one of

680
00:27:06,668 --> 00:27:10,748
Speaker 7: the better defenses in the NFL. Offensively, brock Perty's gonna

681
00:27:10,748 --> 00:27:12,308
Speaker 7: be there. I'm not gonna just say all right, Nick

682
00:27:12,348 --> 00:27:14,868
Speaker 7: Bole said they've had some drama going in the off seasons.

683
00:27:14,908 --> 00:27:16,508
Speaker 7: Team's gonna take a step back. No, I think they're

684
00:27:16,508 --> 00:27:18,748
Speaker 7: still going to be very good. They still have Kyle Shanahan.

685
00:27:18,828 --> 00:27:20,068
Speaker 7: They're still going to be a playoff team.

686
00:27:20,108 --> 00:27:20,388
Speaker 6: This year.

687
00:27:20,668 --> 00:27:23,428
Speaker 5: They signed Hargrave. Yeah, Like that's one of the best

688
00:27:23,468 --> 00:27:26,068
Speaker 5: defensive linemen in football. So they got another player that

689
00:27:26,148 --> 00:27:27,428
Speaker 5: I think it was supposed to be the cherry on

690
00:27:27,508 --> 00:27:29,388
Speaker 5: top to what was gonna be the most dominant defensive line.

691
00:27:29,428 --> 00:27:31,868
Speaker 5: But Bosa might be the best pass rusher in fosketball.

692
00:27:31,948 --> 00:27:33,908
Speaker 5: He means a retaining defensive player there. I think that's

693
00:27:33,908 --> 00:27:35,788
Speaker 5: a big deal. They have to get him in there.

694
00:27:35,988 --> 00:27:38,228
Speaker 5: They have to get him back, and if they don't,

695
00:27:38,468 --> 00:27:40,548
Speaker 5: teams can start running on the on the forty nine

696
00:27:40,628 --> 00:27:42,148
Speaker 5: ers quite a bit, which is something that they don't

697
00:27:42,228 --> 00:27:44,468
Speaker 5: usually take to the Other part of this is that, yes,

698
00:27:44,588 --> 00:27:47,468
Speaker 5: Hufanga and you know, of course you've got Fred Warner

699
00:27:47,508 --> 00:27:49,748
Speaker 5: who's all world there, but like Demiico, Ryan's ain't calling

700
00:27:49,748 --> 00:27:52,468
Speaker 5: the shots anymore. They lost their defensive coordinator. He went

701
00:27:52,508 --> 00:27:55,228
Speaker 5: down to Houston. Demiko Ryan's got Steve Wilkes as a.

702
00:27:55,268 --> 00:27:56,068
Speaker 2: New defensive cornerber.

703
00:27:56,068 --> 00:27:59,548
Speaker 5: Steve Wilkes field in admirably after they booted Matt Ruhle

704
00:27:59,588 --> 00:28:01,548
Speaker 5: last year in Carolina, Steve Wilkes came in and got

705
00:28:01,588 --> 00:28:04,948
Speaker 5: them almost to the playoffs with you know j Walker

706
00:28:04,988 --> 00:28:07,788
Speaker 5: at quarterback and you know, figuring it out with Scotch

707
00:28:07,868 --> 00:28:10,628
Speaker 5: Tape and Sam Darnold at the end. There doesn't get

708
00:28:10,748 --> 00:28:13,308
Speaker 5: hired for Carolina as their head coach and now is

709
00:28:13,828 --> 00:28:17,148
Speaker 5: in San Francisco, which is really interesting to me because

710
00:28:17,308 --> 00:28:19,828
Speaker 5: we always figure with the Niners, all right, Purdy doesn't

711
00:28:19,868 --> 00:28:22,388
Speaker 5: have to go out there and be my homes because

712
00:28:22,428 --> 00:28:24,628
Speaker 5: he's got that offense behind him, and of course you've

713
00:28:24,668 --> 00:28:26,268
Speaker 5: got that defense that's not gonna give up a ton

714
00:28:26,308 --> 00:28:28,628
Speaker 5: of points. But you're telling me it's a new defensive coordinator.

715
00:28:28,748 --> 00:28:31,628
Speaker 5: You're telling me it's it's no Nick Bosa to start

716
00:28:31,668 --> 00:28:34,868
Speaker 5: the season. Like, I'll tell you what, if I'm the Seahawks,

717
00:28:34,868 --> 00:28:37,108
Speaker 5: I'm looking my chops right here. No one's talking about Seattle.

718
00:28:37,188 --> 00:28:39,188
Speaker 5: But you know what, there might be a team that

719
00:28:39,348 --> 00:28:41,708
Speaker 5: can come and steal this NFC West crown if the

720
00:28:41,748 --> 00:28:42,508
Speaker 5: bos is not out there.

721
00:28:42,668 --> 00:28:44,148
Speaker 2: You think Steve Wilkes might want to beat the Cardinals

722
00:28:44,188 --> 00:28:44,868
Speaker 2: a couple of times.

723
00:28:44,708 --> 00:28:48,108
Speaker 5: This yeah, yea looking across that sideline tuned up a

724
00:28:48,148 --> 00:28:49,388
Speaker 5: couple of times on that defense.

725
00:28:49,988 --> 00:28:52,188
Speaker 1: There's a couple of teams across the league that I

726
00:28:52,348 --> 00:28:54,628
Speaker 1: just have blind faith and I just trust what they do.

727
00:28:54,908 --> 00:28:57,428
Speaker 1: And I trust the Tomlins Steelers. There's a bunch of them,

728
00:28:57,468 --> 00:28:59,828
Speaker 1: you know. I trust the Harvard Ravens. I trust the

729
00:28:59,868 --> 00:29:02,148
Speaker 1: Shanahan forty nine ers. Yeah, you know, of course they

730
00:29:02,228 --> 00:29:03,868
Speaker 1: want to mike O Ryans there. They want to Robert

731
00:29:03,908 --> 00:29:05,868
Speaker 1: solid there with them. He left two and where they

732
00:29:05,868 --> 00:29:08,348
Speaker 1: were still knocking people around. I think the Shanahan runs

733
00:29:08,388 --> 00:29:11,548
Speaker 1: the show offense defense. Otherwise fine, I think they'll be good.

734
00:29:11,908 --> 00:29:13,828
Speaker 1: The Bosta thing is massive, but I think the Party

735
00:29:13,908 --> 00:29:17,148
Speaker 1: thing is everything. I think if we're sitting here saying, man,

736
00:29:17,268 --> 00:29:19,868
Speaker 1: they're three and three, that's not what we expected. Most

737
00:29:20,108 --> 00:29:23,388
Speaker 1: likely it's because Brock Purdy entered the Earth's atmosphere when

738
00:29:23,428 --> 00:29:24,428
Speaker 1: he was playing last year.

739
00:29:24,508 --> 00:29:27,108
Speaker 2: It happens. You think you get seduced by the story

740
00:29:27,148 --> 00:29:29,148
Speaker 2: of this guy's the natural. He just gets it. He

741
00:29:29,268 --> 00:29:30,548
Speaker 2: just can play. Listen.

742
00:29:31,228 --> 00:29:33,988
Speaker 1: Tom Brady showed up twenty some years ago, replaced Bledzel,

743
00:29:34,028 --> 00:29:35,428
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl The next year.

744
00:29:35,468 --> 00:29:37,548
Speaker 2: The Patriots weren't the playoffs. They just didn't have it.

745
00:29:37,868 --> 00:29:40,228
Speaker 1: The very next year after the confetti and they, oh

746
00:29:40,308 --> 00:29:42,668
Speaker 1: my goodness, I think they were nine to seventeen, missed

747
00:29:42,668 --> 00:29:43,108
Speaker 1: the playoffs.

748
00:29:43,148 --> 00:29:45,348
Speaker 2: Brady wasn't as sharp. They just didn't have their identity.

749
00:29:45,348 --> 00:29:46,068
Speaker 2: It just didn't work.

750
00:29:46,628 --> 00:29:49,148
Speaker 1: So are we just gonna bet that Brock Party is

751
00:29:49,188 --> 00:29:51,748
Speaker 1: just gonna wait? Wow, they got a guy six games in.

752
00:29:51,828 --> 00:29:54,028
Speaker 1: Are we saying, well, he might be the thing? Or

753
00:29:54,068 --> 00:29:56,828
Speaker 1: are we saying Party is the natural? He's in He's

754
00:29:56,828 --> 00:29:59,428
Speaker 1: gonna be for ten years Like They've found their franchise quarterback.

755
00:29:59,428 --> 00:30:00,868
Speaker 1: They were right to get rid of Trey Lance, they

756
00:30:00,868 --> 00:30:02,988
Speaker 1: were right to get rid of Jimmy Garoppolo. I'd like

757
00:30:03,068 --> 00:30:04,988
Speaker 1: to see a little bit more the guy saying that

758
00:30:05,028 --> 00:30:07,388
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts has only showed us one great season. So,

759
00:30:07,548 --> 00:30:10,588
Speaker 1: Brock Purty, you've shown us half a great season and

760
00:30:10,988 --> 00:30:13,228
Speaker 1: the biggest game of your life like you got knocked

761
00:30:13,228 --> 00:30:15,188
Speaker 1: out of. So I think I still think and I

762
00:30:15,188 --> 00:30:16,828
Speaker 1: don't think this is fighting words. I think there's a

763
00:30:16,908 --> 00:30:19,788
Speaker 1: TVD with Rock purtyn come out of a major injury.

764
00:30:19,788 --> 00:30:21,348
Speaker 1: They didn't even know if he's right. We can always

765
00:30:21,388 --> 00:30:23,348
Speaker 1: put this through the lens of playoff picks because he

766
00:30:23,388 --> 00:30:25,468
Speaker 1: did it yesterday. I got the Niners as a wild card.

767
00:30:25,588 --> 00:30:28,228
Speaker 1: I think Seattle is set, They're ready. I think they're great.

768
00:30:28,268 --> 00:30:29,868
Speaker 1: I think Pete's been kind of concocting this thing for

769
00:30:29,908 --> 00:30:31,508
Speaker 1: the last couple years. I think they're gonna win the West.

770
00:30:31,548 --> 00:30:33,268
Speaker 1: I think the Niners gonna have some growing pains it

771
00:30:33,348 --> 00:30:35,188
Speaker 1: or growing pains, or aches and pains, whatever it is.

772
00:30:35,388 --> 00:30:37,668
Speaker 2: Are you surprised the state of the BOSA thing? You

773
00:30:37,748 --> 00:30:39,948
Speaker 2: know this team, well, what is going on? It's game week?

774
00:30:40,028 --> 00:30:42,068
Speaker 2: I figured they has to be done by now, for sure.

775
00:30:42,428 --> 00:30:44,388
Speaker 1: Vince usually gets the guys done. Yeah, debo done, You

776
00:30:44,428 --> 00:30:46,348
Speaker 1: get the guys done. Yes, his best player and the

777
00:30:46,348 --> 00:30:46,748
Speaker 1: whole team.

778
00:30:46,828 --> 00:30:49,828
Speaker 7: Well, especially when you're the best defensive player of defensive

779
00:30:49,868 --> 00:30:51,388
Speaker 7: player of the year that's play in the league, right,

780
00:30:51,708 --> 00:30:54,068
Speaker 7: who's the highest Give him a little bit more like

781
00:30:54,348 --> 00:30:56,548
Speaker 7: that just seems to be how it all goes.

782
00:30:56,748 --> 00:30:59,748
Speaker 5: You remember, his brother has gone through two very lengthy

783
00:30:59,868 --> 00:31:02,708
Speaker 5: contract negotiations right down to the wire. Also, this might

784
00:31:02,748 --> 00:31:05,148
Speaker 5: be one of those where it's like we're not taking

785
00:31:05,228 --> 00:31:07,308
Speaker 5: a dollar less than we think we deserve. And his

786
00:31:07,428 --> 00:31:10,028
Speaker 5: brother Joey got the money. Yeah, and the Chargers bend

787
00:31:10,068 --> 00:31:11,708
Speaker 5: it when they had to at the very last thing.

788
00:31:11,788 --> 00:31:14,588
Speaker 5: You know, Aaron Donald's got the money. These guys get

789
00:31:14,628 --> 00:31:15,508
Speaker 5: the money when they hold out.

790
00:31:15,588 --> 00:31:16,828
Speaker 2: TJ. Watt got the money.

791
00:31:17,348 --> 00:31:20,588
Speaker 5: So kickoff is that one o'clock Eastern when they play

792
00:31:20,588 --> 00:31:22,668
Speaker 5: the Steelers. Let's see if Bosa is out there.

793
00:31:22,708 --> 00:31:25,428
Speaker 8: And it's a tough, tough week to open with the Steelers.

794
00:31:25,548 --> 00:31:27,628
Speaker 8: My goodness, Like, did you pick that as kind of

795
00:31:27,668 --> 00:31:28,828
Speaker 8: like a game to watch this weekend.

796
00:31:28,868 --> 00:31:31,148
Speaker 5: It's a horrible way to start the season. No Bosa

797
00:31:31,268 --> 00:31:33,308
Speaker 5: on the road, in Pittsburgh. I think if there's no Bosa,

798
00:31:33,308 --> 00:31:36,268
Speaker 5: I would take Pittsburgh to win that game outright, despite

799
00:31:36,308 --> 00:31:37,188
Speaker 5: being big underdogs.

800
00:31:37,588 --> 00:31:38,108
Speaker 8: It's crazy.

801
00:31:38,148 --> 00:31:39,908
Speaker 4: I agree with you, Kyle, with the Shanahan because the

802
00:31:39,948 --> 00:31:42,028
Speaker 4: thing we always compliment Kyle Shanahan on is like, sure,

803
00:31:42,068 --> 00:31:44,948
Speaker 4: the creativity of his offense, but he works and grinds

804
00:31:44,988 --> 00:31:47,068
Speaker 4: to the guys in the best position. He molds his

805
00:31:47,148 --> 00:31:48,908
Speaker 4: offense to make it work for Brock Party. So now

806
00:31:48,948 --> 00:31:51,108
Speaker 4: that he knows what Brock can or cannot do. He

807
00:31:51,268 --> 00:31:53,428
Speaker 4: had the small sample size last season, don't you think

808
00:31:53,468 --> 00:31:56,108
Speaker 4: he's worked all off season to make it perfectly ideal

809
00:31:56,228 --> 00:31:58,868
Speaker 4: for Party and not just like Son, you're gonna run

810
00:31:58,948 --> 00:32:01,108
Speaker 4: my offense. You would think he's gotten to a point

811
00:32:01,108 --> 00:32:03,388
Speaker 4: because he's had a top five offense since he took

812
00:32:03,428 --> 00:32:07,308
Speaker 4: over in twenty seventeen in terms of guard out gardage output. Offensively,

813
00:32:07,748 --> 00:32:10,708
Speaker 4: the scoring is down. The scoring is it's hangs in

814
00:32:10,748 --> 00:32:13,108
Speaker 4: the middle of the pack, so they're getting down the field,

815
00:32:13,108 --> 00:32:14,868
Speaker 4: but it doesn't necessarily mean they're doing it at a

816
00:32:14,908 --> 00:32:15,348
Speaker 4: high clip.

817
00:32:15,428 --> 00:32:17,228
Speaker 8: But it's been a really good offense.

818
00:32:17,268 --> 00:32:19,908
Speaker 4: So I like how Shanahan is able to manipulate a

819
00:32:19,988 --> 00:32:21,988
Speaker 4: playbook in accordance with the players that he has. But

820
00:32:22,548 --> 00:32:24,748
Speaker 4: I'm with Kyle defense, they're going to be really good.

821
00:32:24,828 --> 00:32:27,548
Speaker 4: But this is a Brock Party. If the quarterback is healthy,

822
00:32:27,828 --> 00:32:28,148
Speaker 4: that's right.

823
00:32:29,628 --> 00:32:32,548
Speaker 1: Also, we've had it, we'll do the true McCaffrey experience,

824
00:32:32,708 --> 00:32:34,828
Speaker 1: not dropping him into the why and it was still

825
00:32:34,828 --> 00:32:36,668
Speaker 1: good when they dropped him in. But now, I mean,

826
00:32:36,828 --> 00:32:38,788
Speaker 1: Shannan's in the laboratory, right, Like, what can I do

827
00:32:38,908 --> 00:32:40,908
Speaker 1: with Christian? It's like all those things he wanted to

828
00:32:40,948 --> 00:32:42,668
Speaker 1: do with Trey Lance ended up doing. Maybe it's some

829
00:32:42,988 --> 00:32:43,908
Speaker 1: spilled over to McCaffrey.

830
00:32:43,948 --> 00:32:45,908
Speaker 7: Well, I'm interested to see, because you think about it,

831
00:32:46,068 --> 00:32:48,868
Speaker 7: Garoppolo was there, they were successful, they felt the need

832
00:32:48,988 --> 00:32:50,628
Speaker 7: to move all the way up to go get a

833
00:32:50,708 --> 00:32:54,388
Speaker 7: Trey Lance that was different athletic quarterback. Now brock Party's

834
00:32:54,428 --> 00:32:57,028
Speaker 7: taken over. Does he become handcuffed with the same things

835
00:32:57,068 --> 00:32:59,428
Speaker 7: he was with Jimmy Garoppolo Or is brock Purty still

836
00:32:59,468 --> 00:33:01,868
Speaker 7: the pocket pass or that now can just dice up

837
00:33:01,908 --> 00:33:04,268
Speaker 7: an entire defense. I'm interested to see to your point,

838
00:33:04,548 --> 00:33:06,828
Speaker 7: Now we have games worth to watch brock Party and

839
00:33:06,868 --> 00:33:07,268
Speaker 7: prepare for.

840
00:33:07,308 --> 00:33:08,228
Speaker 6: Them for an entire season.
