12
00:00:51,948 --> 00:00:55,188
Speaker 1: morning to UK. Certainly the news is still difficult to

13
00:00:55,268 --> 00:00:59,788
Speaker 1: grasp even at this moment. Haskins was tragically killed early

14
00:00:59,828 --> 00:01:02,948
Speaker 1: Saturday morning after being hit by a dump truck. According

15
00:01:02,948 --> 00:01:06,148

Speaker 1: walk across the interstate near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on foot

17
00:01:10,668 --> 00:01:14,788
Speaker 1: for unknown reasons when the tragic accident occurred. Haskins was

18
00:01:14,828 --> 00:01:19,388
Speaker 1: pronounced dead at the scene. Haskins was in South Florida

19
00:01:19,508 --> 00:01:24,308
Speaker 1: participating in offseason workouts with Pittsburgh teammates, including Nagie Harris

20
00:01:24,308 --> 00:01:26,988
Speaker 1: and Chase Claypool, who was also staying at the house

21
00:01:27,028 --> 00:01:30,508
Speaker 1: of fellow Steelers quarterback Mitch Trubisky. Haskins end of the

22
00:01:30,548 --> 00:01:34,268
Speaker 1: league in twenty nineteen, taken with the fifteenth overall pick

23
00:01:34,388 --> 00:01:38,028
Speaker 1: by Washington after a standout career at Ohio State. Haskins

24
00:01:38,148 --> 00:01:41,308
Speaker 1: was released by Washington in December of twenty twenty and

25
00:01:41,348 --> 00:01:45,108
Speaker 1: signed with the Steelers one month later. Haskins was expected

26
00:01:45,148 --> 00:01:48,228
Speaker 1: to compete with Trubisky for the starting job under center

27
00:01:48,348 --> 00:01:53,148
Speaker 1: in training camp. Twain. Haskins was only twenty four years old. Obviously,

28
00:01:53,268 --> 00:01:57,188
Speaker 1: the NFL community and beyond mourning his loss. K It's

29
00:01:57,228 --> 00:02:00,308
Speaker 1: so true. There's been an outpouring of thoughts and heart

30
00:02:00,348 --> 00:02:02,708
Speaker 1: wrenching emotion from across the league and those players, of

31
00:02:02,708 --> 00:02:04,908
Speaker 1: course that you mentioned. But let's go to head coach.

32
00:02:04,948 --> 00:02:07,308
Speaker 1: We appreciate you will Mike Tomlin with his statement. Here's

33
00:02:07,308 --> 00:02:09,748
Speaker 1: what he had to say. Quote, I am devastated and

34
00:02:09,908 --> 00:02:12,548
Speaker 1: at a loss for words with the unfortunate passing of

35
00:02:12,628 --> 00:02:15,588
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins. He quickly became part of our Steelers family

36
00:02:15,668 --> 00:02:17,948
Speaker 1: upon his arrival in Pittsburgh and was one of our

37
00:02:17,988 --> 00:02:21,068
Speaker 1: hardest workers, both on the field and in her community.

38
00:02:21,188 --> 00:02:23,708
Speaker 1: Dwayne was a great teammates, but even more so a

39
00:02:23,748 --> 00:02:26,668
Speaker 1: tremendous friend to so many. I am truly heartbroken. Our

40
00:02:26,788 --> 00:02:29,828
Speaker 1: thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Calabria and his

41
00:02:30,028 --> 00:02:33,468
Speaker 1: entire family during this difficult time. His former teammate Ben

42
00:02:33,548 --> 00:02:36,588
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger said this in part quote. I only had the

43
00:02:36,668 --> 00:02:39,148
Speaker 1: privilege to nod hask for a short time, but in

44
00:02:39,388 --> 00:02:41,148
Speaker 1: that time, I got to meet a young man that

45
00:02:41,188 --> 00:02:43,388
Speaker 1: didn't seem to ever have a bad day. He came

46
00:02:43,428 --> 00:02:45,628
Speaker 1: to work every day with a smile on his face

47
00:02:45,748 --> 00:02:48,828
Speaker 1: and love in his heart. I really enjoyed his passion

48
00:02:48,868 --> 00:02:51,388
Speaker 1: for love of and love for the game and wanting

49
00:02:51,388 --> 00:02:53,988
Speaker 1: to learn and be his best. His smile and zeal

50
00:02:54,068 --> 00:02:56,508
Speaker 1: for life will be missed. Of course. I'll have more

51
00:02:56,588 --> 00:02:59,428
Speaker 1: all day on NFL Network as we continue to learn

52
00:02:59,468 --> 00:03:01,668
Speaker 1: and share some of the thoughts that are coming out

53
00:03:01,708 --> 00:03:03,748
Speaker 1: of the NFL community here. But I'm going to throw

54
00:03:03,788 --> 00:03:06,148
Speaker 1: it to you first and Rob, how will you remember

55
00:03:06,268 --> 00:03:08,708
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins. What are your thoughts after this weekend? I

56
00:03:08,868 --> 00:03:11,388
Speaker 1: was floored when I heard this, guys. To set the

57
00:03:11,428 --> 00:03:13,868
Speaker 1: stage for you, guys, I run youth football in the

58
00:03:13,908 --> 00:03:16,668
Speaker 1: state of Virginia in the central region in the Richmond area,

59
00:03:16,868 --> 00:03:19,788
Speaker 1: and we had our spring football games going on. It

60
00:03:19,908 --> 00:03:23,228
Speaker 1: was hundreds of young kids out there early in the morning.

61
00:03:23,388 --> 00:03:26,588
Speaker 1: We learned of this, and you can visibly see the

62
00:03:26,668 --> 00:03:29,628
Speaker 1: effect on the young people. The young people knew exactly

63
00:03:29,628 --> 00:03:32,508
Speaker 1: who Dwayne Haskins was, especially from miss days in college,

64
00:03:32,548 --> 00:03:34,508
Speaker 1: and you know, we had a moment of silence and

65
00:03:34,868 --> 00:03:37,508
Speaker 1: just kind of reflected on it. But I remember Dwayne

66
00:03:37,508 --> 00:03:40,948
Speaker 1: Haskins with such youthful energy. You saw the armed talent,

67
00:03:41,108 --> 00:03:43,428
Speaker 1: You saw the smiling, You saw the fact that he

68
00:03:43,508 --> 00:03:45,988
Speaker 1: seemed always happy, and you just like, man, if this

69
00:03:46,108 --> 00:03:48,628
Speaker 1: kid can just be in the right situation with the

70
00:03:48,708 --> 00:03:51,148
Speaker 1: right people around him, with the right older people around

71
00:03:51,228 --> 00:03:53,308
Speaker 1: him to kind of direct them because he's so young.

72
00:03:53,668 --> 00:03:56,068
Speaker 1: You just looked at this kid having the world ahead

73
00:03:56,068 --> 00:03:58,468
Speaker 1: of him. So, guys, I was really messed up by this,

74
00:03:58,468 --> 00:04:00,828
Speaker 1: as I can't lie. I didn't know Dwayne Haskins much.

75
00:04:01,188 --> 00:04:03,548
Speaker 1: I ran into him maybe once or twice. But to

76
00:04:03,668 --> 00:04:07,188
Speaker 1: see the out pouring from his teammates, that's really what

77
00:04:07,548 --> 00:04:10,028
Speaker 1: struck me. You can say what you want, whether he

78
00:04:10,148 --> 00:04:12,548
Speaker 1: was a bust of a first round. You could say

79
00:04:12,588 --> 00:04:14,068
Speaker 1: all of that. You can talk about this play on

80
00:04:14,068 --> 00:04:17,228
Speaker 1: the field, but in the locker room, everybody loved this

81
00:04:17,348 --> 00:04:20,388
Speaker 1: kid man. And I'm just gonna remember him from always

82
00:04:20,388 --> 00:04:22,348
Speaker 1: for always smiling. Every time I seem to see him,

83
00:04:22,348 --> 00:04:23,948
Speaker 1: he always had a smile on his face. Whether his

84
00:04:23,988 --> 00:04:25,788
Speaker 1: team was losing or not. He just was having fun.

85
00:04:25,908 --> 00:04:27,788
Speaker 1: That's what the essence of this game is all about.

86
00:04:27,908 --> 00:04:30,548
Speaker 1: Having fun. But yeah, I think the football world Losso

87
00:04:31,148 --> 00:04:34,148
Speaker 1: lost a good man, a good human being. And man

88
00:04:34,508 --> 00:04:37,188
Speaker 1: shouts out to his family and how they're going through

89
00:04:37,228 --> 00:04:40,308
Speaker 1: this man, because I couldn't have imagined losing a son,

90
00:04:40,388 --> 00:04:43,588
Speaker 1: a brother, or anything like that. Very well said, I too,

91
00:04:43,748 --> 00:04:45,908
Speaker 1: was at a youth sports event, my son playing t

92
00:04:46,068 --> 00:04:48,028
Speaker 1: ball five years old, and you get this news on

93
00:04:48,028 --> 00:04:50,108
Speaker 1: a Saturday morning. It's a whole different field where you

94
00:04:50,108 --> 00:04:52,068
Speaker 1: look around You're like, where is the surroundings? And oh

95
00:04:52,108 --> 00:04:55,188
Speaker 1: my gosh, that this could happen to anybody is so heartbreaking.

96
00:04:55,388 --> 00:04:58,548
Speaker 1: You mentioned the youthful exuberance and like the joy he

97
00:04:58,628 --> 00:05:01,708
Speaker 1: played with, like it was almost it was contagious. And

98
00:05:01,788 --> 00:05:04,188
Speaker 1: I'll bring us back to his first win as an

99
00:05:04,668 --> 00:05:06,908
Speaker 1: quarterback and just how excited he was and we showed

100
00:05:06,948 --> 00:05:09,548
Speaker 1: it on our show playing at and this was after

101
00:05:09,628 --> 00:05:11,988
Speaker 1: a long like weight of why isn't he playing? And

102
00:05:12,228 --> 00:05:15,388
Speaker 1: Jay Gruden and Terry McLaurin his college teammate with him.

103
00:05:15,468 --> 00:05:17,668
Speaker 1: The joy that he had was contagious. He would go

104
00:05:17,668 --> 00:05:19,948
Speaker 1: into the crowd, of course he would be taken selfies

105
00:05:19,988 --> 00:05:23,428
Speaker 1: and we've had our sands like, yeah, it was unprofessional whatever, No,

106
00:05:23,548 --> 00:05:25,828
Speaker 1: that's just like kid who loved football, loved his teammates,

107
00:05:25,908 --> 00:05:28,028
Speaker 1: was so excited to win. And I bring up O'Connell

108
00:05:28,068 --> 00:05:31,628
Speaker 1: because that first year in Washington with all eyes on Haskins,

109
00:05:31,668 --> 00:05:34,948
Speaker 1: it was O'Connell and Haskins together as the offensive coordinator

110
00:05:34,948 --> 00:05:36,628
Speaker 1: trying to figure it out. Can I bring up O'Connell's

111
00:05:36,628 --> 00:05:39,708
Speaker 1: tweet from Saturday morning, This is his first NFL real

112
00:05:39,788 --> 00:05:42,428
Speaker 1: coach and his thing and Kevin tweeted this struggling to

113
00:05:42,468 --> 00:05:44,628
Speaker 1: find the words to express how crushing this news is

114
00:05:44,668 --> 00:05:47,148
Speaker 1: today doing it such as positive, energetic outlook on life

115
00:05:47,148 --> 00:05:49,348
Speaker 1: and always treat people with genuine kindness, so talented and

116
00:05:49,428 --> 00:05:51,268
Speaker 1: was so much positive ahead of his life thoughts and prayers.

117
00:05:51,348 --> 00:05:53,108
Speaker 1: I reached out to Kevin O'Connell like his checking in

118
00:05:53,148 --> 00:05:54,388
Speaker 1: how are doing and this was yesterday and he's like,

119
00:05:54,388 --> 00:05:55,948
Speaker 1: I'm really struggling. I don't know how to put it

120
00:05:55,948 --> 00:05:59,508
Speaker 1: into words. This is one of the happiest, most loving,

121
00:05:59,588 --> 00:06:01,388
Speaker 1: like never was. It was never about the football is

122
00:06:01,428 --> 00:06:02,988
Speaker 1: all about or having faun. Are we doing this the

123
00:06:03,068 --> 00:06:05,068
Speaker 1: right way? And even when he was in pitch where

124
00:06:05,068 --> 00:06:06,988
Speaker 1: he was not only a backup, he was third string

125
00:06:07,028 --> 00:06:10,188
Speaker 1: behind Mason Rudolph, those guys loved him and Tomlin said

126
00:06:10,228 --> 00:06:11,948
Speaker 1: that as much. So just to have all that joy

127
00:06:12,188 --> 00:06:14,828
Speaker 1: and to have that zest for life taken from us,

128
00:06:14,828 --> 00:06:17,508
Speaker 1: it's just so tragic. So it's a terrible, terrible piece

129
00:06:17,508 --> 00:06:18,948
Speaker 1: of news to get over the weekend, and I think

130
00:06:18,948 --> 00:06:21,268
Speaker 1: it's appropriate we start our show and paying tribute to

131
00:06:21,348 --> 00:06:24,028
Speaker 1: Dwayne on Monday. It is terrible and even seeing the

132
00:06:24,068 --> 00:06:27,228
Speaker 1: number twenty four on the screen is very upsetting. I'm

133
00:06:27,228 --> 00:06:30,228
Speaker 1: taken not only by all the player reactions, but the

134
00:06:30,388 --> 00:06:34,428
Speaker 1: level of emotion in those reactions. These people obviously felt

135
00:06:34,508 --> 00:06:36,708
Speaker 1: so strongly about him, and I think Dwayne Hassons was

136
00:06:36,748 --> 00:06:38,828
Speaker 1: a player that the players knew a lot better than

137
00:06:38,868 --> 00:06:40,948
Speaker 1: the media. This wasn't someone who had been there on

138
00:06:40,988 --> 00:06:43,148
Speaker 1: a lot of shows or was always on Twitter like

139
00:06:43,308 --> 00:06:45,548
Speaker 1: Dwayne Hasson's was never on our show. We never got

140
00:06:45,588 --> 00:06:47,308
Speaker 1: to meet him, but there's a clip that we have

141
00:06:47,348 --> 00:06:49,988
Speaker 1: played on our show that I will always cherish looking

142
00:06:50,028 --> 00:06:51,868
Speaker 1: back on him, that I think says a lot. He

143
00:06:51,908 --> 00:06:54,428
Speaker 1: brought a lot of people joy, even in his short

144
00:06:54,468 --> 00:06:55,908
Speaker 1: time that he spent in the NFL. There was an

145
00:06:55,948 --> 00:06:58,788
Speaker 1: excitement about Dwayne Haslins. There was a happiness and exuberance

146
00:06:58,828 --> 00:07:01,148
Speaker 1: from the fan base. Twenty nineteen draft, Washington had the

147
00:07:01,228 --> 00:07:03,468
Speaker 1: number fifteen overall pick, and I got to be in

148
00:07:03,508 --> 00:07:06,068
Speaker 1: the stands with fans as it was being announced. And

149
00:07:06,108 --> 00:07:07,948
Speaker 1: there's this young lady named Laura who'd been going to

150
00:07:08,028 --> 00:07:11,148
Speaker 1: Washington games her entire life, and uh, there was only

151
00:07:11,188 --> 00:07:13,308
Speaker 1: one player that she wanted from that draft, and when

152
00:07:13,348 --> 00:07:16,108
Speaker 1: she got it, it's a really really special reaction. This

153
00:07:16,308 --> 00:07:41,708
Speaker 1: is so there was so much joy and so much excitement,

154
00:07:41,708 --> 00:07:43,668
Speaker 1: and Dwayne Haston coming out of House State was the thing,

155
00:07:43,668 --> 00:07:45,748
Speaker 1: and Washington was so excited and then this and it's

156
00:07:45,748 --> 00:07:48,068
Speaker 1: just terrible. I just lastly, I think the nature of

157
00:07:48,108 --> 00:07:52,108
Speaker 1: how it happened, the suddenness of it is sickening. This

158
00:07:52,188 --> 00:07:54,508
Speaker 1: is not a player who had been on a path,

159
00:07:54,788 --> 00:07:57,628
Speaker 1: or who had struggled or had gone dark places. One

160
00:07:57,668 --> 00:07:59,068
Speaker 1: day he was here, the next day he wasn't. And

161
00:07:59,148 --> 00:08:01,028
Speaker 1: it's just awful. It's awful. I wish we had gotten

162
00:08:01,068 --> 00:08:03,188
Speaker 1: to know him, and I just feel terrible for everyone

163
00:08:03,188 --> 00:08:06,308
Speaker 1: who did that suddenness is so true. Twenty four years old,

164
00:08:06,348 --> 00:08:08,188
Speaker 1: we didn't know what he was on the NFL level yet,

165
00:08:08,708 --> 00:08:10,988
Speaker 1: his story was not written. We didn't get to see

166
00:08:10,988 --> 00:08:12,828
Speaker 1: it and we never will. And you're talking about that

167
00:08:12,828 --> 00:08:15,468
Speaker 1: outpouring of support and him being down there with Nagy

168
00:08:15,628 --> 00:08:17,748
Speaker 1: and with some of his teammates. I mean, does to

169
00:08:17,868 --> 00:08:20,108
Speaker 1: start with the Steelers here, Cam Hayward, a veteran, a

170
00:08:20,148 --> 00:08:21,548
Speaker 1: guy who has been on the show that we know

171
00:08:21,628 --> 00:08:23,788
Speaker 1: as a really close friend. His words were Dwayne meant

172
00:08:23,788 --> 00:08:26,308
Speaker 1: so much to so many people. His smile was infectious.

173
00:08:26,308 --> 00:08:27,668
Speaker 1: He was a guy you wanted to be around. I

174
00:08:27,668 --> 00:08:29,668
Speaker 1: think we're going to run some of these reactions from

175
00:08:29,668 --> 00:08:31,628
Speaker 1: across the league. We're all in shock about losing him.

176
00:08:31,668 --> 00:08:33,108
Speaker 1: We were going to miss the heck out of him

177
00:08:33,148 --> 00:08:35,228
Speaker 1: as well. We lost you too early. Luckily I got

178
00:08:35,228 --> 00:08:37,708
Speaker 1: a chance to get to know you. Rip d H.

179
00:08:37,828 --> 00:08:40,908
Speaker 1: T J. Watts saying the world lost a great person today.

180
00:08:41,028 --> 00:08:43,108
Speaker 1: When Dwayne first walked into the locker room, might coltell

181
00:08:43,148 --> 00:08:45,548
Speaker 1: he was an upbeat guy. He was always making people smile,

182
00:08:45,948 --> 00:08:48,868
Speaker 1: never taking life for granted. His impact on me will

183
00:08:48,948 --> 00:08:52,428
Speaker 1: last forever. And Terry McLaurin, who played with both in

184
00:08:52,508 --> 00:08:55,308
Speaker 1: Washington of course and Ohio State, had this to say.

185
00:08:55,428 --> 00:08:58,148
Speaker 1: Devastated is the only word I can come up with

186
00:08:58,268 --> 00:09:00,468
Speaker 1: right now. Dwayne always had a smile on his face

187
00:09:00,508 --> 00:09:03,468
Speaker 1: and personality was a one of one. I thank god

188
00:09:03,508 --> 00:09:06,028
Speaker 1: for the memories that we shared in the conversations we had.

189
00:09:06,068 --> 00:09:08,308
Speaker 1: I'll miss those so much. He was a man trying

190
00:09:08,348 --> 00:09:10,708
Speaker 1: to become the best version of himself, just like we

191
00:09:10,748 --> 00:09:13,148
Speaker 1: all are. He was excited to continue to compete for

192
00:09:13,228 --> 00:09:15,548
Speaker 1: his dream and I know, as well as those closest

193
00:09:15,548 --> 00:09:17,508
Speaker 1: to him, that his best years on and off the

194
00:09:17,588 --> 00:09:19,668
Speaker 1: field were ahead of him. And then, of course we

195
00:09:19,748 --> 00:09:22,148
Speaker 1: have to chase Claypool video and all of that to Adam.

196
00:09:22,148 --> 00:09:24,348
Speaker 1: We'll be sharing more of our thoughts here on Good

197
00:09:24,348 --> 00:09:27,908
Speaker 1: Morning Football. Dwayne Haskins gone too soon at the age

198
00:09:27,908 --> 00:09:41,988
Speaker 1: of twenty four. Today to Tuesday. Tuesday, right, Yeah, it's

199
00:09:42,068 --> 00:09:48,308
Speaker 1: draft money. Sit down last week with local Detroit media,

200
00:09:48,508 --> 00:09:51,828
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell was asked straight up about whether they would

201
00:09:51,828 --> 00:09:55,868
Speaker 1: take a quarterback with the second overall quarters Hannibal could

202
00:09:55,868 --> 00:09:58,428
Speaker 1: have easily said I support my guy Jared Goff, and

203
00:09:58,468 --> 00:10:01,388
Speaker 1: that's that. Instead he said this, now, the right guy

204
00:10:01,508 --> 00:10:04,268
Speaker 1: is sitting there at the right pick, and let's do it.

205
00:10:04,548 --> 00:10:07,148
Speaker 1: But we like golf, I like where he's at strong,

206
00:10:09,188 --> 00:10:11,828
Speaker 1: keep atting pieces. And then whenever that is to out

207
00:10:11,868 --> 00:10:14,348
Speaker 1: a quarterback, is it next year? Is it this year?

208
00:10:14,428 --> 00:10:16,308
Speaker 1: Is it two years from now? When the right guy

209
00:10:16,388 --> 00:10:18,028
Speaker 1: is sitting there, then you figure out a way to

210
00:10:18,068 --> 00:10:21,868
Speaker 1: get that guy when it's the right guy. Okay, that

211
00:10:21,988 --> 00:10:25,308
Speaker 1: wasn't the biggest vote of confidence for the QB one

212
00:10:25,388 --> 00:10:28,188
Speaker 1: at the moment. So here's the statement. The Lions should

213
00:10:28,228 --> 00:10:31,868
Speaker 1: take Malik Willis with the second overall pick of the

214
00:10:31,988 --> 00:10:34,468
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two NFL Draft. Are we in or we out?

215
00:10:34,548 --> 00:10:36,868
Speaker 1: Kyle on a Tuesday morning? What do you got the thumb?

216
00:10:36,988 --> 00:10:38,828
Speaker 1: Will look go up or down? That's how we do

217
00:10:38,908 --> 00:10:41,548
Speaker 1: this segment. I'm going down. And maybe not for the

218
00:10:41,548 --> 00:10:44,548
Speaker 1: reasons you might think. Sure, it sounds a little crazy

219
00:10:44,588 --> 00:10:47,748
Speaker 1: to draft to quote unquote project quarterback from Liberty with

220
00:10:47,788 --> 00:10:49,908
Speaker 1: the second overall pick of the draft. But I love

221
00:10:49,988 --> 00:10:51,628
Speaker 1: Malik Willis. We did a lot of time with him

222
00:10:51,708 --> 00:10:53,548
Speaker 1: last week, and I want him to succeed in this league.

223
00:10:53,628 --> 00:10:55,028
Speaker 1: Never mind is he the right fit for the Lions?

224
00:10:55,228 --> 00:10:56,988
Speaker 1: The Lions right fit for him. There you go. I

225
00:10:57,028 --> 00:10:59,108
Speaker 1: don't know if I want Malik Willis going to Detroits.

226
00:10:59,508 --> 00:11:02,308
Speaker 1: They have proven nothing over the years that they will

227
00:11:02,348 --> 00:11:04,828
Speaker 1: take care of him and surround him. And as much

228
00:11:04,828 --> 00:11:09,108
Speaker 1: as we love guys like Herbert's or even Mahomes, Mahome's

229
00:11:09,188 --> 00:11:12,308
Speaker 1: landing in an awesome place and had a lot of

230
00:11:12,308 --> 00:11:14,068
Speaker 1: the questions when they's reading and been of me, like

231
00:11:14,388 --> 00:11:16,148
Speaker 1: what are you getting if you if you go to

232
00:11:16,268 --> 00:11:18,948
Speaker 1: Detroit and your Malik Willis say again, I know this

233
00:11:19,028 --> 00:11:21,588
Speaker 1: is really disparaging of Detroit, but this is a meritocracy.

234
00:11:21,628 --> 00:11:23,148
Speaker 1: You gotta earn the respect and you got to earn

235
00:11:23,188 --> 00:11:25,428
Speaker 1: the right to say, yeah, as a Lion, he's going

236
00:11:25,468 --> 00:11:27,548
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. So I like Malik. I don't

237
00:11:27,548 --> 00:11:29,468
Speaker 1: want to see him go to Detroit. I got thoughts

238
00:11:29,508 --> 00:11:30,868
Speaker 1: on I want him to go very close to where

239
00:11:30,908 --> 00:11:33,868
Speaker 1: we are and we're also we're blue. But that's another segment. Adam, Yeah,

240
00:11:34,068 --> 00:11:35,948
Speaker 1: I think Dan Campbell will be so upset this morning

241
00:11:36,508 --> 00:11:38,748
Speaker 1: his espresso're listening to you say that I'm still listening.

242
00:11:38,828 --> 00:11:44,468
Speaker 1: His answer by Jared Gauf, he definitely was. I like

243
00:11:44,588 --> 00:11:47,068
Speaker 1: everything we've seen from Malik Willis, And there's this idea

244
00:11:47,108 --> 00:11:49,548
Speaker 1: that you shouldn't reach for a quarterback a number two,

245
00:11:49,548 --> 00:11:52,628
Speaker 1: that you shouldn't reach for this specific quarterback. How is

246
00:11:52,628 --> 00:11:55,468
Speaker 1: he different than Zach Wilson at two or Trey Lands

247
00:11:55,508 --> 00:11:57,268
Speaker 1: at three when it comes to the things people say.

248
00:11:57,388 --> 00:11:59,788
Speaker 1: In fact, he's given us more of a body of

249
00:11:59,828 --> 00:12:02,028
Speaker 1: work than those two. He had two good years as

250
00:12:02,068 --> 00:12:03,988
Speaker 1: a starter. Those guys each had one all played at

251
00:12:03,988 --> 00:12:07,228
Speaker 1: small will Wilson was loaded with NFL talent, right, and

252
00:12:07,268 --> 00:12:10,828
Speaker 1: then the other one was at a powerhouse FCC program. Right,

253
00:12:10,868 --> 00:12:12,748
Speaker 1: Willis had to elevate the guys around him. We all

254
00:12:12,748 --> 00:12:15,788
Speaker 1: know that he has aced every task thrown his way

255
00:12:16,068 --> 00:12:19,068
Speaker 1: on and off the field since this entire draft process started.

256
00:12:19,068 --> 00:12:22,028
Speaker 1: He's done everything right. He's flashed unbelievable talent. So if

257
00:12:22,068 --> 00:12:23,548
Speaker 1: you can do exact Wilson, it too. And he I

258
00:12:23,588 --> 00:12:25,508
Speaker 1: don't understand why he was the most hyped up thing.

259
00:12:25,548 --> 00:12:27,788
Speaker 1: Nobody had any questions about his experience and he had

260
00:12:27,908 --> 00:12:30,388
Speaker 1: one year and we're doing anything but but saying that

261
00:12:30,428 --> 00:12:33,268
Speaker 1: Malik Willis should be number two. If you like a quarterback,

262
00:12:33,348 --> 00:12:34,948
Speaker 1: you reach for him, and I wouldn't be surprised if

263
00:12:34,948 --> 00:12:40,628
Speaker 1: they do. Okay, it was in the Mountains, ye think

264
00:12:40,628 --> 00:12:43,788
Speaker 1: about had a Divide download over there. I like it. Look,

265
00:12:43,868 --> 00:12:46,148
Speaker 1: I love Malik Willis as well. I think he's a

266
00:12:46,148 --> 00:12:49,508
Speaker 1: tremendous talent. But Detroit please don't draft him. I agree

267
00:12:49,508 --> 00:12:51,948
Speaker 1: with cos it was a bad It's just a bad

268
00:12:51,948 --> 00:12:54,348
Speaker 1: fit for Malik man. I want to see these kids succeed.

269
00:12:54,468 --> 00:12:56,748
Speaker 1: I want to see him win. And honestly, when you

270
00:12:56,788 --> 00:12:59,228
Speaker 1: look at the Detroit Lions roster, I think they're in

271
00:12:59,268 --> 00:13:01,188
Speaker 1: a I think they're in a space where maybe they

272
00:13:01,388 --> 00:13:03,668
Speaker 1: need a veteran, maybe they need a guy who has

273
00:13:03,708 --> 00:13:07,108
Speaker 1: seen it not and Jared golfs the answer to you know,

274
00:13:07,148 --> 00:13:09,468
Speaker 1: to all be all of offense. But he has seen

275
00:13:09,548 --> 00:13:11,428
Speaker 1: some stuff. He has had some success in this league.

276
00:13:11,468 --> 00:13:13,508
Speaker 1: I think they can get by with Jared Golf one

277
00:13:13,548 --> 00:13:15,748
Speaker 1: more year. I just I don't want Malik Willis to

278
00:13:15,788 --> 00:13:17,468
Speaker 1: have a bad start to his year. I meant to

279
00:13:17,508 --> 00:13:19,868
Speaker 1: his NFL career. I hope he doesn't go to Detroit.

280
00:13:19,948 --> 00:13:21,988
Speaker 1: I just hope he doesn't. Sorry, Kay, I would just

281
00:13:21,988 --> 00:13:24,108
Speaker 1: say that to Kay's point, Like there is not a

282
00:13:24,548 --> 00:13:27,268
Speaker 1: forget Trevor Lawrence. There's not a Nick Bosa in this draft.

283
00:13:27,468 --> 00:13:29,588
Speaker 1: There's not a Miles Garrett in this draft. So like,

284
00:13:29,628 --> 00:13:31,588
Speaker 1: if a team is willing to take Malik Willis at

285
00:13:31,628 --> 00:13:34,508
Speaker 1: eight or ten, what's just because it's a two? Take

286
00:13:34,588 --> 00:13:36,108
Speaker 1: him at two? If you need a quarterback and you

287
00:13:36,108 --> 00:13:38,228
Speaker 1: think he's the guy. Can you got a practical reason? Yeah?

288
00:13:38,348 --> 00:13:40,428
Speaker 1: Detroit has two first round picks next year too. Yeah,

289
00:13:40,428 --> 00:13:41,908
Speaker 1: and like they're set up and if they don't love

290
00:13:41,948 --> 00:13:43,948
Speaker 1: a guy this year, and maybe the guys aren't reavable

291
00:13:43,948 --> 00:13:46,228
Speaker 1: this year, I guess, And then they also have the

292
00:13:46,268 --> 00:13:50,228
Speaker 1: thirty series really high anything a reach at quarterback? No,

293
00:13:50,348 --> 00:13:52,108
Speaker 1: if you like, is there such thing as a reach

294
00:13:52,148 --> 00:13:53,708
Speaker 1: in the draft of quarter not if he turns into

295
00:13:53,748 --> 00:13:55,988
Speaker 1: a franchise guy. No, I think we may redefine that

296
00:13:56,068 --> 00:13:58,148
Speaker 1: this year. Really. I think this year is that year

297
00:13:58,428 --> 00:14:00,588
Speaker 1: where it's like there could be five guys going and

298
00:14:00,668 --> 00:14:02,908
Speaker 1: like they're just getting them because their quarterbacks. I don't know.

299
00:14:02,948 --> 00:14:05,508
Speaker 1: I think there's a fascinating year. Somebody note with the Lions,

300
00:14:05,508 --> 00:14:07,988
Speaker 1: they have a thirty second pick too because of the

301
00:14:08,388 --> 00:14:10,548
Speaker 1: Jared Golf trade. So if they don't take Willis and

302
00:14:10,588 --> 00:14:13,148
Speaker 1: they get a Tibideau or they get a Trayvon Walker.

303
00:14:13,188 --> 00:14:15,188
Speaker 1: They can sit there and maybe still get a Ridder

304
00:14:15,268 --> 00:14:17,748
Speaker 1: or Corral or maybe even a Sam Howell Peter, who

305
00:14:17,788 --> 00:14:19,548
Speaker 1: did you? Who did you? Mock too? I had Ridder

306
00:14:19,628 --> 00:14:21,548
Speaker 1: going to them, but I feel like riddermight go before

307
00:14:21,588 --> 00:14:25,268
Speaker 1: thirty two, even so I had Timideau going Toeau two interviewers.

308
00:14:27,108 --> 00:14:29,748
Speaker 1: Is there a head coach guy whose vision that you

309
00:14:29,828 --> 00:14:32,428
Speaker 1: are ready to buy all into crowd? I'll keep it

310
00:14:32,548 --> 00:14:36,268
Speaker 1: right there in Lake Forest. No hold on, I got

311
00:14:36,308 --> 00:14:39,228
Speaker 1: my money out, Like I don't know if I'm purchasing yet.

312
00:14:39,308 --> 00:14:41,588
Speaker 1: I just I think it's it's fascinating, Like the vision

313
00:14:41,708 --> 00:14:43,868
Speaker 1: right now for the Bears, they're looking at that chart

314
00:14:43,948 --> 00:14:46,948
Speaker 1: and that giant e is like really blurry and the

315
00:14:47,028 --> 00:14:50,348
Speaker 1: east ends. For Eberflus, there is a huge mystery and

316
00:14:50,428 --> 00:14:53,468
Speaker 1: intrigue about what are they doing, Like what is the

317
00:14:53,548 --> 00:14:55,708
Speaker 1: plan and how is that going? So let's just set

318
00:14:55,748 --> 00:14:57,908
Speaker 1: the stage here. All the Bears. You know, if you're

319
00:14:57,908 --> 00:15:00,628
Speaker 1: a casual NFL fan, they're all gone. Kleio Max gone out,

320
00:15:00,708 --> 00:15:03,548
Speaker 1: Rams is gone, Eddie Goldman's gone, to Rik Cohen is gone.

321
00:15:03,788 --> 00:15:06,068
Speaker 1: The guys they've at it like Byron Pringle is a

322
00:15:06,068 --> 00:15:08,388
Speaker 1: Bear now, all right, that's kind of the biggest name

323
00:15:09,268 --> 00:15:11,868
Speaker 1: for real. And there's this thing where like, all right,

324
00:15:11,908 --> 00:15:14,428
Speaker 1: so it's a tear down, it's a long build, and

325
00:15:14,468 --> 00:15:16,468
Speaker 1: the the m out of the Bears is that like

326
00:15:16,748 --> 00:15:19,188
Speaker 1: Mattie Refluce is doing this as if he's going to

327
00:15:19,268 --> 00:15:21,468
Speaker 1: be there for twelve years, Like this year is just

328
00:15:21,508 --> 00:15:23,428
Speaker 1: the building block year, and we're gonna be here forever.

329
00:15:23,828 --> 00:15:25,708
Speaker 1: It's really hard to put a finger on what the

330
00:15:25,748 --> 00:15:28,908
Speaker 1: plan is. And to that point, Chairman George McCaskey quote

331
00:15:28,908 --> 00:15:31,668
Speaker 1: about the new GM Ryan Poles, there's something about him.

332
00:15:31,708 --> 00:15:33,828
Speaker 1: It's really difficult for me to put a finger on it.

333
00:15:34,148 --> 00:15:36,948
Speaker 1: But he's very confidence and they're burning right now. Is

334
00:15:36,988 --> 00:15:39,268
Speaker 1: like fields, fields, fields. We have to support fields, we

335
00:15:39,308 --> 00:15:41,388
Speaker 1: have to surround fields. But in the meantime, we have

336
00:15:41,428 --> 00:15:44,468
Speaker 1: to rebuild an entire team on offense. And there's like

337
00:15:44,588 --> 00:15:47,948
Speaker 1: no real position of experience and like we're set there.

338
00:15:48,068 --> 00:15:51,068
Speaker 1: Every single place is kind of influx. They don't have

339
00:15:51,068 --> 00:15:53,988
Speaker 1: a first round pick because they Burrow at least gets

340
00:15:54,068 --> 00:15:55,868
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, and then you don't get a Jamar Chase.

341
00:15:55,908 --> 00:15:58,428
Speaker 1: And I'll take it further. There's several teams that don't

342
00:15:58,428 --> 00:16:00,348
Speaker 1: have a first round pick, but they have a history

343
00:16:00,348 --> 00:16:02,748
Speaker 1: of being aggressive and they might trade in. Bear's not

344
00:16:02,828 --> 00:16:05,188
Speaker 1: trading in. They're kind of just sick in there, and

345
00:16:05,228 --> 00:16:07,788
Speaker 1: they're saying we're gonna take our time with this, which

346
00:16:07,868 --> 00:16:10,308
Speaker 1: I respect, but you can't go out next fall and

347
00:16:10,388 --> 00:16:12,108
Speaker 1: be like, oh and five, we're taking our time, not

348
00:16:12,148 --> 00:16:14,388
Speaker 1: in that town and not with that quarterback. So there's

349
00:16:14,388 --> 00:16:16,908
Speaker 1: a hurry up and wait with the Bears. That's fascinating

350
00:16:16,948 --> 00:16:19,628
Speaker 1: and it's also torture for the fan base. But they're

351
00:16:19,628 --> 00:16:21,788
Speaker 1: just saying, patience, patience, patients, we got this. I hope

352
00:16:21,788 --> 00:16:25,148
Speaker 1: they're right. Yeah, KB, Like I'm looking at like, what

353
00:16:25,228 --> 00:16:27,228
Speaker 1: are they gonna do for Justin Fields? Man? I mean,

354
00:16:27,228 --> 00:16:30,468
Speaker 1: he's position for real, and I love Baron Pringles game,

355
00:16:30,468 --> 00:16:33,108
Speaker 1: but like, but I didn't get they do and and

356
00:16:33,348 --> 00:16:36,308
Speaker 1: Rogers stayed in that division, So yeah, yeah, I'm intrigued

357
00:16:36,348 --> 00:16:38,068
Speaker 1: by that as well. But I gotta go with Nathaniel

358
00:16:38,068 --> 00:16:39,868
Speaker 1: Hackett and what he's doing out there in Denver just

359
00:16:39,868 --> 00:16:42,988
Speaker 1: simply because I'm saying I believe in his vision, just

360
00:16:43,028 --> 00:16:45,708
Speaker 1: because you almost got to when you trade Noah Fan

361
00:16:45,788 --> 00:16:48,548
Speaker 1: Shelby Hair's Drew Lock twenty twenty two first round or

362
00:16:48,548 --> 00:16:50,788
Speaker 1: a fifth rounder in twenty twenty two, a first round

363
00:16:50,788 --> 00:16:53,468
Speaker 1: of next year, and a second round of next year.

364
00:16:53,508 --> 00:16:57,188
Speaker 1: When you trade that much, boy, Russell Wilson, you must

365
00:16:57,188 --> 00:16:59,108
Speaker 1: have a clear vision of which the team is gonna

366
00:16:59,108 --> 00:17:00,748
Speaker 1: look like. You look at the defense last year. It

367
00:17:00,788 --> 00:17:03,628
Speaker 1: only gave up eighteen eighteen and a half points per game,

368
00:17:03,668 --> 00:17:07,028
Speaker 1: but that offense wouldn't scoring done, but nineteen nineteen points

369
00:17:07,028 --> 00:17:10,508
Speaker 1: again put the ball in Russell's hands. Russell's always wanted

370
00:17:10,508 --> 00:17:12,628
Speaker 1: an office to just let him cook, let him do

371
00:17:12,708 --> 00:17:15,708
Speaker 1: his thing, and I think he's got with the right coach.

372
00:17:15,748 --> 00:17:17,628
Speaker 1: He's got, with the right coach of staff, They're gonna

373
00:17:17,668 --> 00:17:19,908
Speaker 1: still run the football they should with the running back

374
00:17:19,948 --> 00:17:22,068
Speaker 1: in the run scheme that they have out there. You

375
00:17:22,188 --> 00:17:24,548
Speaker 1: do that, you can get a vision of a championship

376
00:17:24,548 --> 00:17:26,468
Speaker 1: coming out of Denver, especially with a guy like rus

377
00:17:26,668 --> 00:17:29,028
Speaker 1: Jeff and behind him. I'm gonna stay in the AFC West.

378
00:17:29,108 --> 00:17:31,668
Speaker 1: I thought no team went more chips into the middle

379
00:17:31,708 --> 00:17:35,348
Speaker 1: than of Vegas Raiders, trading all they traded for Davante Adams,

380
00:17:35,348 --> 00:17:37,588
Speaker 1: then giving him the new contract, and then also signing

381
00:17:37,668 --> 00:17:40,668
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones. But they also kind of rated the Patriots

382
00:17:40,828 --> 00:17:43,468
Speaker 1: coaching staff, which I thought was interesting. Not only does

383
00:17:43,548 --> 00:17:45,748
Speaker 1: McDaniels comes, he brings Micke Lombardi with him as his

384
00:17:45,788 --> 00:17:48,828
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. They also get Dave Ziggler as a GM.

385
00:17:48,988 --> 00:17:51,428
Speaker 1: But then they were like, we're not done yet. They

386
00:17:51,428 --> 00:17:53,708
Speaker 1: get it Jacob Johnson, the big fullback from New England.

387
00:17:53,748 --> 00:17:57,428
Speaker 1: They get Brandon Bolden, the running back from Vegas. Where

388
00:17:57,628 --> 00:18:00,308
Speaker 1: from New England to Vegas where it's like better pedigree.

389
00:18:00,468 --> 00:18:02,548
Speaker 1: Brandon Bolden's not going to run for a thousand yards,

390
00:18:02,548 --> 00:18:04,868
Speaker 1: but what he brings is something so much more than

391
00:18:05,148 --> 00:18:07,348
Speaker 1: just stuff on the field. He brings leadership in the

392
00:18:07,348 --> 00:18:09,268
Speaker 1: locker room. Jacob Johnson's not going to run for a

393
00:18:09,308 --> 00:18:11,748
Speaker 1: thousand yards, but he is a bruising fullback. Josh McDaniels

394
00:18:11,788 --> 00:18:13,308
Speaker 1: can point to and say these are my guys, let's

395
00:18:13,308 --> 00:18:15,948
Speaker 1: follow them. The Raiders are all in. They're like Derek Carr,

396
00:18:15,948 --> 00:18:18,028
Speaker 1: we believe in you, come pay it back with us.

397
00:18:18,028 --> 00:18:19,828
Speaker 1: He's got the best receiver in football now, and I

398
00:18:19,828 --> 00:18:21,788
Speaker 1: think they've got a really good start already to the

399
00:18:21,828 --> 00:18:24,148
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels era, where it can be very easy to

400
00:18:24,228 --> 00:18:26,068
Speaker 1: not go trade for Devanta Adams and say all right,

401
00:18:26,068 --> 00:18:27,988
Speaker 1: we're building something long term. No, No, they're ready for

402
00:18:28,028 --> 00:18:29,908
Speaker 1: it right now. I like that it's well said. We

403
00:18:29,948 --> 00:18:32,468
Speaker 1: started this segment, guys with the Whitney Young Magnet High

404
00:18:32,508 --> 00:18:34,628
Speaker 1: School Dolphins, and I want to wrap it up with

405
00:18:34,668 --> 00:18:37,468
Speaker 1: the Miami don It's hard not to be all in, right,

406
00:18:37,508 --> 00:18:38,668
Speaker 1: and I want to know if you guys are with me.

407
00:18:38,748 --> 00:18:40,548
Speaker 1: Let's cue the lue out footage is all I want

408
00:18:40,548 --> 00:18:42,708
Speaker 1: for the segment. Out Lets see is the lue out footage.

409
00:18:42,988 --> 00:18:46,988
Speaker 1: This is him with Tua over the weekend, benefiting TWA's foundation.

410
00:18:47,068 --> 00:18:49,228
Speaker 1: Just a second lu out that they did. But it's

411
00:18:49,228 --> 00:18:52,028
Speaker 1: impossible to hear him speak. I think and see everything

412
00:18:52,028 --> 00:18:53,828
Speaker 1: he's doing to set too up for success and not

413
00:18:53,948 --> 00:18:56,268
Speaker 1: be excited. They've added so much speed to the offense there,

414
00:18:56,468 --> 00:18:58,788
Speaker 1: revamping the backfield, and here he is trying. You know,

415
00:18:59,188 --> 00:19:00,908
Speaker 1: this is a coach i'd want to play for. I

416
00:19:01,028 --> 00:19:03,268
Speaker 1: love it were he most Chase Edmonds all on the mix,

417
00:19:03,308 --> 00:19:05,628
Speaker 1: So Triggs at lead at a very least. You know

418
00:19:05,668 --> 00:19:08,228
Speaker 1: it's going to be exclusive, creative, and at least interesting.

419
00:19:08,268 --> 00:19:10,788
Speaker 1: And I love his personality too. Yeah, most comes over,

420
00:19:10,868 --> 00:19:13,668
Speaker 1: but he also brings over Wes Welker with him. John embriok.

421
00:19:13,708 --> 00:19:15,788
Speaker 1: A lot of the forty nine Ers coaches left San

422
00:19:15,788 --> 00:19:18,948
Speaker 1: Francisco to be in Miami with Mike McDaniel. They believe

423
00:19:18,948 --> 00:19:20,308
Speaker 1: in them. Let's see how the players do. If you're

424
00:19:20,308 --> 00:19:21,748
Speaker 1: a Buffalo Bills finn, are you like? How might be

425
00:19:21,748 --> 00:19:24,588
Speaker 1: interesting playing them twice? Here? Yeah, they's got a lot

426
00:19:24,588 --> 00:19:26,628
Speaker 1: more interesting. What's with the Jets do with the draft? Like?

427
00:19:26,668 --> 00:19:28,388
Speaker 1: They want to be at the table too, So let's go.

428
00:19:28,468 --> 00:19:30,868
Speaker 1: We've got more here, Let's go on Good Morning football

429
00:19:30,868 --> 00:19:48,268
Speaker 1: on a Monday. Trags has been saying it all morning,

430
00:19:48,348 --> 00:19:50,868
Speaker 1: seventeen days. It's almost here. In less than three weeks

431
00:19:50,908 --> 00:19:54,148
Speaker 1: until the draft was presented by Verizon. Plenty of action

432
00:19:54,188 --> 00:19:56,268
Speaker 1: near the top, especially right here in New York. The

433
00:19:56,388 --> 00:19:59,268
Speaker 1: Jets and Giants. They both pick in the top five.

434
00:19:59,548 --> 00:20:01,548
Speaker 1: Both teams are two picks in the top ten. A

435
00:20:01,708 --> 00:20:04,148
Speaker 1: very East goes bias front end of the draft here,

436
00:20:04,428 --> 00:20:06,948
Speaker 1: and there's some high stake selections for these two franchises

437
00:20:06,948 --> 00:20:10,628
Speaker 1: who have not done a ton of winning in recent

438
00:20:11,268 --> 00:20:14,148
Speaker 1: So I ask you, guys, which New York team needs

439
00:20:14,188 --> 00:20:16,668
Speaker 1: to nail the draft more? Is it the Jets or

440
00:20:16,708 --> 00:20:19,188
Speaker 1: the Giants? They both like to boo either way. Yeah,

441
00:20:19,228 --> 00:20:21,388
Speaker 1: the fourth and tenth pick. For the Jets, they can

442
00:20:21,428 --> 00:20:24,388
Speaker 1: get two pillars to their franchise, two players that they

443
00:20:24,428 --> 00:20:27,108
Speaker 1: can build around. You get two top ten picks, you've

444
00:20:27,108 --> 00:20:30,308
Speaker 1: got the opportunity to not only build play on the field,

445
00:20:30,348 --> 00:20:33,708
Speaker 1: but like show what you're about, get character, get enthusiasm

446
00:20:33,788 --> 00:20:36,108
Speaker 1: around these young guys. In my mock draft, I had

447
00:20:36,148 --> 00:20:38,548
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner and Jamison Williams going to them, and I

448
00:20:38,548 --> 00:20:40,348
Speaker 1: think that would be the top corner, the top receiver.

449
00:20:40,428 --> 00:20:41,788
Speaker 1: You roll the ball and play, but there can You

450
00:20:41,828 --> 00:20:43,468
Speaker 1: really can't go wrong at four and ten. There's so

451
00:20:43,548 --> 00:20:45,628
Speaker 1: much talent out there you can't screw it up. And

452
00:20:45,668 --> 00:20:48,028
Speaker 1: for the Jets, they really can't screw it up. I

453
00:20:48,068 --> 00:20:50,028
Speaker 1: think the Jets had one of the big whiffs in

454
00:20:50,188 --> 00:20:52,508
Speaker 1: NFL draft history, and that would be their twenty twenty,

455
00:20:52,708 --> 00:20:55,148
Speaker 1: not last year where they got Wilson and Michael Carter

456
00:20:55,268 --> 00:20:57,868
Speaker 1: and Elijah Vera Tucker who are going This was their

457
00:20:57,868 --> 00:21:01,628
Speaker 1: twenty twenty class right now. Beckton is a whiff. He

458
00:21:01,788 --> 00:21:03,468
Speaker 1: is he's got hurt last year. There's hope he's going

459
00:21:03,508 --> 00:21:05,828
Speaker 1: to return, but he was back from there. I hope so,

460
00:21:06,148 --> 00:21:08,308
Speaker 1: I hope so. But for through through the first two seasons.

461
00:21:08,348 --> 00:21:12,068
Speaker 1: He hasn't been what they top eleven. Denzel Mims has

462
00:21:12,068 --> 00:21:15,348
Speaker 1: been a whiff, Ashton Davis has been a zaniga p run.

463
00:21:15,908 --> 00:21:18,508
Speaker 1: James Morgan was a quarterback they took in the fourth round.

464
00:21:19,788 --> 00:21:22,348
Speaker 1: You can't have two of these in three years. So

465
00:21:22,388 --> 00:21:25,188
Speaker 1: I look to Joe Douglas, and I looked to Rex Hogan,

466
00:21:25,228 --> 00:21:27,068
Speaker 1: and I look to Robert Salo, and I look to

467
00:21:27,548 --> 00:21:30,268
Speaker 1: all those folks there like the giants. To me, they're

468
00:21:30,308 --> 00:21:32,748
Speaker 1: building from scratch also, and they they're gonna go and

469
00:21:32,788 --> 00:21:34,508
Speaker 1: do what they do. And Joe Shane's in his first year,

470
00:21:34,548 --> 00:21:37,188
Speaker 1: but like, this is year three of Joe Douglas. And

471
00:21:37,268 --> 00:21:39,148
Speaker 1: when that comes to the draft, this is year two

472
00:21:39,188 --> 00:21:42,508
Speaker 1: of Robert Salo. You cannot whiff on this draft. If anything,

473
00:21:42,548 --> 00:21:44,308
Speaker 1: the Jets need to get two guys that they could

474
00:21:44,348 --> 00:21:46,628
Speaker 1: point to and say, hey, that's two consecutive years of

475
00:21:46,628 --> 00:21:48,548
Speaker 1: two good drafts. You go two out of three years

476
00:21:48,548 --> 00:21:50,588
Speaker 1: with some whiffs and some bus in the top ten. No,

477
00:21:50,708 --> 00:21:52,428
Speaker 1: that's not that's not acceptable. So I say the New

478
00:21:52,468 --> 00:21:54,588
Speaker 1: York Jets, not only can they hit home runs with

479
00:21:54,628 --> 00:21:57,788
Speaker 1: four and ten, but they can't not get singles like

480
00:21:57,828 --> 00:21:59,708
Speaker 1: they need to get on base here. They need to

481
00:21:59,708 --> 00:22:01,588
Speaker 1: have guys that they can say can contribute and that

482
00:22:01,628 --> 00:22:03,628
Speaker 1: can embody what this franchise is going to be all about.

483
00:22:03,628 --> 00:22:06,068
Speaker 1: Can't have two out of three that draft. You're right, Peter,

484
00:22:06,348 --> 00:22:08,148
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go with the Giant side of things.

485
00:22:08,188 --> 00:22:09,988
Speaker 1: I think they need to get it right simply because

486
00:22:10,148 --> 00:22:12,948
Speaker 1: the quarterback. And I know Giants fans, they get at

487
00:22:12,988 --> 00:22:14,908
Speaker 1: me all the time on my social media scake because

488
00:22:15,108 --> 00:22:17,428
Speaker 1: I'd be at Daniel Jones, man. I just think he

489
00:22:17,468 --> 00:22:19,588
Speaker 1: should be better. I mean, you pick him six overall,

490
00:22:19,988 --> 00:22:22,148
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be your franchise quarterback, and the guy's

491
00:22:22,188 --> 00:22:24,348
Speaker 1: giving you thirty six fumbles in three years, twenty nine

492
00:22:24,428 --> 00:22:27,668
Speaker 1: interceptions and only forty five touchdowns. I mean, it just

493
00:22:27,708 --> 00:22:29,948
Speaker 1: seems like every single time he drops back, you're just

494
00:22:30,188 --> 00:22:33,628
Speaker 1: waiting to see a bad play happen. And when you

495
00:22:33,668 --> 00:22:35,988
Speaker 1: get picked that higher raw, you expect him to be

496
00:22:36,028 --> 00:22:38,988
Speaker 1: a little bit better. New general manager and Joe Shane,

497
00:22:39,068 --> 00:22:41,588
Speaker 1: new head coach and Brian Dabo coming in. I think

498
00:22:41,628 --> 00:22:44,468
Speaker 1: the scheme or be able to make things lighter on him.

499
00:22:44,828 --> 00:22:46,348
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, to me, this

500
00:22:46,428 --> 00:22:48,308
Speaker 1: year is to make a break here for Daniel Jones.

501
00:22:48,428 --> 00:22:50,068
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if he's gonna be that guy. No,

502
00:22:50,148 --> 00:22:52,548
Speaker 1: they need offensive line work. That they hold a fifth

503
00:22:52,548 --> 00:22:54,668
Speaker 1: and the seventh pick, they should be able to get

504
00:22:54,708 --> 00:22:58,628
Speaker 1: a franchise offensive tackle or offensive lineman with those picks.

505
00:22:58,748 --> 00:22:59,948
Speaker 1: And then at the end of the day, my gout

506
00:23:00,028 --> 00:23:02,508
Speaker 1: sae Quon he has to be better. I mean, I'm sorry, man,

507
00:23:02,508 --> 00:23:05,108
Speaker 1: I know he's coming off some injuries, but when you're

508
00:23:05,108 --> 00:23:08,148
Speaker 1: picked that high in a draft, you're considered a generational back,

509
00:23:08,468 --> 00:23:10,868
Speaker 1: you gotta be the guys sometimes carry the team. I

510
00:23:10,908 --> 00:23:13,308
Speaker 1: haven't really seen sa Quan, especially over the last couple

511
00:23:13,308 --> 00:23:16,348
Speaker 1: of years, carry this team in any capacity. So I

512
00:23:16,388 --> 00:23:18,308
Speaker 1: think the scheme will be there to have both of

513
00:23:18,308 --> 00:23:21,148
Speaker 1: these guys be successful. If the quarterback doesn't get it done,

514
00:23:21,188 --> 00:23:23,428
Speaker 1: it's gonna be another failure for the New York Giants. Mike,

515
00:23:23,468 --> 00:23:24,948
Speaker 1: if this was another show, this is when I would

516
00:23:24,948 --> 00:23:27,268
Speaker 1: come right in with a forced, screamed rebuttal about how

517
00:23:27,348 --> 00:23:29,628
Speaker 1: great Daniel Jones is and how dare you we don't

518
00:23:29,628 --> 00:23:31,308
Speaker 1: do that here? And I'm looking at the same thing.

519
00:23:31,948 --> 00:23:34,908
Speaker 1: There is a scenario by which Daniel Jones under Brian

520
00:23:34,988 --> 00:23:37,788
Speaker 1: dave Ball turns into Josh Allen two point zero and

521
00:23:37,828 --> 00:23:39,388
Speaker 1: they take the East and they're in the playoffs and

522
00:23:39,428 --> 00:23:41,348
Speaker 1: everyone was wrong and he gets this big contract session.

523
00:23:41,388 --> 00:23:43,508
Speaker 1: I hope that happens because Daniels seems like a great dude.

524
00:23:43,508 --> 00:23:46,028
Speaker 1: I don't see that scenario happening. Here's what I'm so

525
00:23:46,348 --> 00:23:48,588
Speaker 1: it's irritated by is that everyone is saying, well, you know,

526
00:23:48,588 --> 00:23:50,348
Speaker 1: you got Davil and he's just gonna take He's gonna

527
00:23:50,348 --> 00:23:51,548
Speaker 1: take him and do what he did with Josh Allen,

528
00:23:51,628 --> 00:23:55,788
Speaker 1: Like Josh Allen is a psychopath, you understand, like nobody

529
00:23:55,908 --> 00:23:58,188
Speaker 1: is Josh Allen. And Josh Allen for the first few

530
00:23:58,268 --> 00:24:01,388
Speaker 1: years was jumping over middle linebackers and dancing in the

531
00:24:01,388 --> 00:24:03,668
Speaker 1: playoffs like he was out of his mind with the talent,

532
00:24:03,708 --> 00:24:05,748
Speaker 1: and you saw, like, we gotta just bring them in

533
00:24:05,788 --> 00:24:07,988
Speaker 1: a little bit. But we got something here. We've not

534
00:24:08,028 --> 00:24:10,428
Speaker 1: seen that from Daniel Jones. He has two memorable moments,

535
00:24:10,588 --> 00:24:12,628
Speaker 1: and one of them is him falling like it's he's

536
00:24:12,628 --> 00:24:14,908
Speaker 1: a pinata. I take no joy in whacking it. But

537
00:24:14,948 --> 00:24:16,468
Speaker 1: I look at the five and I look at the seven,

538
00:24:16,508 --> 00:24:18,508
Speaker 1: and they look at the quarterbacks, and I like them

539
00:24:18,548 --> 00:24:21,108
Speaker 1: taking a quarterback here, I really do, not, only because

540
00:24:21,188 --> 00:24:23,308
Speaker 1: they have a five and a seven, whether it's Maliku Cody,

541
00:24:23,348 --> 00:24:24,788
Speaker 1: we'll get there in the next sup of weeks. But

542
00:24:24,788 --> 00:24:27,268
Speaker 1: they're also sitting there in front of all the thirsty

543
00:24:27,308 --> 00:24:31,388
Speaker 1: for quarterbacks club in the draft, the Panthers, the Seahawks,

544
00:24:31,428 --> 00:24:34,108
Speaker 1: the falcon so like they're probably gonna draft one of

545
00:24:34,108 --> 00:24:36,428
Speaker 1: those dudes. I just think, like you could say this

546
00:24:36,508 --> 00:24:38,228
Speaker 1: is Davie's warm up year and let him get his

547
00:24:38,388 --> 00:24:40,028
Speaker 1: Are we doing that? They haven't taken this fifth year

548
00:24:40,068 --> 00:24:42,788
Speaker 1: extension for Daniel Jones. There's probably not gonna do it,

549
00:24:42,868 --> 00:24:45,508
Speaker 1: So get busy living or get busy dying unless you

550
00:24:45,588 --> 00:24:48,548
Speaker 1: just really don't like these quarterbacks, which I respect, but

551
00:24:48,588 --> 00:24:50,988
Speaker 1: do you really like your correct him? Now? I think

552
00:24:51,028 --> 00:24:52,388
Speaker 1: they have to do it, and I think they have

553
00:24:52,428 --> 00:24:55,028
Speaker 1: to nail it, and they almost have looked. There's no Doovers,

554
00:24:55,028 --> 00:24:57,668
Speaker 1: there's Mulligans in the top ten. But my god, you

555
00:24:57,748 --> 00:24:59,508
Speaker 1: got two shots at having one of your top ten

556
00:24:59,548 --> 00:25:01,468
Speaker 1: players being really good, and I hope one of its

557
00:25:01,468 --> 00:25:04,028
Speaker 1: the quarterback from Liberty, because Daniel Jones go do it

558
00:25:04,388 --> 00:25:05,668
Speaker 1: on the event somewhere and come back and have a

559
00:25:05,668 --> 00:25:07,628
Speaker 1: great resurgent career. I just haven't seen enough for the

560
00:25:07,628 --> 00:25:09,628
Speaker 1: New York Giants, and I don't. I defy anybody to

561
00:25:09,668 --> 00:25:11,508
Speaker 1: tell me how they have And I know that built

562
00:25:11,508 --> 00:25:14,588
Speaker 1: an excuse, different coordinated, different coaches. I get it. I

563
00:25:14,668 --> 00:25:16,628
Speaker 1: totally get It's the NFL. I'm what Gonna says. It's

564
00:25:16,628 --> 00:25:21,188
Speaker 1: tough guy KB to see Malake willis someone possibly in

565
00:25:21,188 --> 00:25:24,028
Speaker 1: this Brian day Ball offense. To me, that's exciting. You

566
00:25:24,068 --> 00:25:25,508
Speaker 1: know you're gonna get one on ones at the end

567
00:25:25,508 --> 00:25:27,668
Speaker 1: of the day because of the quarterbacks abilities. You know

568
00:25:27,668 --> 00:25:29,388
Speaker 1: you're gonna get one on ones on the outside. You

569
00:25:29,388 --> 00:25:32,308
Speaker 1: know you're gonna get light boxes for the run. Gally

570
00:25:32,708 --> 00:25:35,668
Speaker 1: just his ability and the things that he can do

571
00:25:35,788 --> 00:25:37,788
Speaker 1: is gonna open that offense up. And I think you

572
00:25:37,788 --> 00:25:40,268
Speaker 1: can put in less offense and just let the kid go.

573
00:25:40,708 --> 00:25:42,668
Speaker 1: And I think that offense to be set up for.

574
00:25:43,948 --> 00:25:46,748
Speaker 1: Is this like a dream for us or not? I

575
00:25:46,788 --> 00:25:49,828
Speaker 1: haven't seen many people suggest quarterback for the Giants because

576
00:25:49,868 --> 00:25:52,188
Speaker 1: of the confidence that they have in day Ball being

577
00:25:52,508 --> 00:25:54,428
Speaker 1: being the whisperer to Daniel Jones, like you have a

578
00:25:54,508 --> 00:25:56,828
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback. But I'll go once to further. It's

579
00:25:56,828 --> 00:26:01,068
Speaker 1: not just Brian Dabo. Their offensive coaches have ascassinating it's

580
00:26:01,068 --> 00:26:03,548
Speaker 1: Brian Dabo from Buffalo, and then they hired Mike Kafka

581
00:26:03,668 --> 00:26:05,748
Speaker 1: as the quarterback coach who was with Kansas City and

582
00:26:05,828 --> 00:26:08,228
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes the last five years. So you've got now

583
00:26:08,348 --> 00:26:11,588
Speaker 1: Mahomes's whisper and Josh Allen's whisper and this like amazing

584
00:26:11,628 --> 00:26:14,948
Speaker 1: transformer like quarterbacks room, and Daniel Jones is the product

585
00:26:14,988 --> 00:26:17,708
Speaker 1: they're working on. Is Malik Willis or Kenny Pickett an upgrade?

586
00:26:17,748 --> 00:26:20,388
Speaker 1: You could argue that at this point, yeah, maybe they

587
00:26:20,388 --> 00:26:22,428
Speaker 1: are as far as potential goes, but it sounds like

588
00:26:22,428 --> 00:26:24,308
Speaker 1: the Giants are in on Daniel Jones at least for

589
00:26:24,348 --> 00:26:26,548
Speaker 1: this season. Spider Man Transformer, what's going on with you?

590
00:26:26,748 --> 00:26:29,828
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm really, what's happening on your hands? Twenty

591
00:26:29,868 --> 00:26:33,988
Speaker 1: two to new things? Now? Clearly very war What's you know?

592
00:26:34,068 --> 00:26:36,588
Speaker 1: The temperature the Giants fan base more than anyone do

593
00:26:36,708 --> 00:26:40,308
Speaker 1: fans think that they've surrounded Daniel Jones with enough talent

594
00:26:40,388 --> 00:26:42,268
Speaker 1: to succeed in It's failed because you do have, say

595
00:26:42,348 --> 00:26:44,468
Speaker 1: Quon Barkley, that talent and then then you took the

596
00:26:44,508 --> 00:26:46,588
Speaker 1: big swing they brought on Gala Day. They had you know,

597
00:26:46,628 --> 00:26:49,108
Speaker 1: an Evan ingram and athletic because with Zach Wilson. That's

598
00:26:49,108 --> 00:26:50,948
Speaker 1: why I think it's more important for them because you

599
00:26:51,028 --> 00:26:52,948
Speaker 1: have to give him everything. You have to know what

600
00:26:52,988 --> 00:26:54,748
Speaker 1: you have. Last year, you get injuries, you didn't have

601
00:26:54,788 --> 00:26:57,548
Speaker 1: any options. You need to get that jameson Well, do

602
00:26:57,548 --> 00:26:59,548
Speaker 1: you need to get that number one receiver to help

603
00:26:59,628 --> 00:27:01,108
Speaker 1: him out? Do you feel? And that's why I think

604
00:27:01,108 --> 00:27:03,108
Speaker 1: it is important for the Jets to go all in

605
00:27:03,188 --> 00:27:05,028
Speaker 1: and support your quarterback and see what you have. But

606
00:27:05,108 --> 00:27:07,708
Speaker 1: Triggs is the Daniel Jones experience. I'm always sitting here

607
00:27:07,788 --> 00:27:10,388
Speaker 1: barking about don't write off talent, don't write off guys.

608
00:27:10,428 --> 00:27:12,868
Speaker 1: Their stories not written yet, they're young. I don't know

609
00:27:13,108 --> 00:27:15,828
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. Is that weird fence for me where I'm like,

610
00:27:15,908 --> 00:27:18,108
Speaker 1: I can't get up board. Yeah. John Mara had his

611
00:27:18,148 --> 00:27:21,148
Speaker 1: back and said we have failed Daniel Jones. And yet

612
00:27:21,228 --> 00:27:22,708
Speaker 1: it's nice of him to say, we go into that

613
00:27:22,788 --> 00:27:24,228
Speaker 1: draft that year, you go back out it. A lot

614
00:27:24,228 --> 00:27:26,428
Speaker 1: of teams didn't have Daniel Jones as a top ten pick.

615
00:27:26,508 --> 00:27:28,428
Speaker 1: Dave Getleman took him sixth overall, so it kind of

616
00:27:28,508 --> 00:27:31,668
Speaker 1: validated Daniel Seener Bowl MVP. But like, I don't remember

617
00:27:31,708 --> 00:27:33,748
Speaker 1: the hype around Daniel Jones going into that draft. That

618
00:27:33,868 --> 00:27:35,748
Speaker 1: was a shocking pick. It was a shocking pick, and

619
00:27:35,828 --> 00:27:38,548
Speaker 1: Dave Gettelman did not have a great history of draft picks.

620
00:27:38,548 --> 00:27:40,828
Speaker 1: So maybe he isn't this top ten overall pick and

621
00:27:40,828 --> 00:27:42,948
Speaker 1: he was just taken top ten. I don't think Giants

622
00:27:42,948 --> 00:27:45,068
Speaker 1: fans have a ton of faith in Daniel Jones long term.

623
00:27:45,068 --> 00:27:46,468
Speaker 1: And I also think it's fair to say that Jets

624
00:27:46,548 --> 00:27:48,228
Speaker 1: last year ripped the band aid off when they didn't

625
00:27:48,268 --> 00:27:50,228
Speaker 1: think Sam Darnold was the guy and they took another quarterback.

626
00:27:50,268 --> 00:27:53,028
Speaker 1: Why can't the Giants do the same. We'll say, interesting him,

627
00:27:53,028 --> 00:27:54,948
Speaker 1: did Jets gotta go out? They didn't get Terry? You

628
00:27:55,028 --> 00:27:56,948
Speaker 1: were upset about that, and they didn't go for that.

629
00:27:57,028 --> 00:27:58,908
Speaker 1: So we got to get that number one ride receiver

630
00:27:58,988 --> 00:28:01,668
Speaker 1: for him? DK Metcalfe yet to be seen. Could that

631
00:28:01,708 --> 00:28:03,908
Speaker 1: would be an incredible thing to not be? I mean

632
00:28:03,988 --> 00:28:05,988
Speaker 1: the caust aary tale for the Jets is, look at

633
00:28:05,988 --> 00:28:07,468
Speaker 1: the Giants. You don't want to be going into your

634
00:28:07,508 --> 00:28:09,788
Speaker 1: fourth year with a quarterback and not know whether or

635
00:28:09,788 --> 00:28:12,348
Speaker 1: not he's the guy. Having us debated here at this

636
00:28:12,428 --> 00:28:16,748
Speaker 1: breakfast to seven straight off pro seasons for one Aaron Donald,

637
00:28:16,788 --> 00:28:22,748
Speaker 1: how much does he way comes Papa. Oh yeah, he's

638
00:28:22,788 --> 00:28:26,188
Speaker 1: got Okay, that's what they say because it's good years

639
00:28:26,228 --> 00:28:28,068
Speaker 1: or something. Well, he's back from the lab, not that

640
00:28:28,108 --> 00:28:29,668
Speaker 1: he needs to be, and that is a scary site

641
00:28:29,708 --> 00:28:32,748
Speaker 1: for opposing quarterbacks around the league. Donald recently told the

642
00:28:32,948 --> 00:28:36,588
Speaker 1: Million dollars worth of Game podcast, I feel like I'm

643
00:28:36,868 --> 00:28:40,188
Speaker 1: shut I feel like I's getting faster. I feel like

644
00:28:40,228 --> 00:28:42,988
Speaker 1: I'm in better shape. I get better with age. I

645
00:28:43,028 --> 00:28:46,988
Speaker 1: don't slow down, which is quite a frightening proposition, let's

646
00:28:46,988 --> 00:28:49,028
Speaker 1: be honest. So he also said the Rams have a

647
00:28:49,068 --> 00:28:52,508
Speaker 1: real shot to repeat and get back to back Super Bowls, which,

648
00:28:52,508 --> 00:28:55,828
Speaker 1: as we know, no easy tasks. No surprise there. But

649
00:28:56,508 --> 00:28:58,988
Speaker 1: let's talk about this again. We talk about this every

650
00:28:58,988 --> 00:29:01,308
Speaker 1: couple of days. I feel like I'm in this television programs.

651
00:29:01,348 --> 00:29:02,788
Speaker 1: I've been gone for two weeks. Well, what is the

652
00:29:02,828 --> 00:29:05,788
Speaker 1: biggest challenge for the Rams in that quest to repeat?

653
00:29:05,868 --> 00:29:07,508
Speaker 1: It's not the first time, not the last time we're

654
00:29:07,508 --> 00:29:09,228
Speaker 1: going to be talking aboutment Well, I just saw that video.

655
00:29:09,228 --> 00:29:11,668
Speaker 1: There is no challenge. They'll repeat it. That video was

656
00:29:11,708 --> 00:29:13,628
Speaker 1: not sped up, by the way. But my honest answer,

657
00:29:13,668 --> 00:29:15,108
Speaker 1: the biggest challenge for the Rams is the Bucks. This

658
00:29:15,188 --> 00:29:17,308
Speaker 1: is simple guys. I've been counting this all offseason. Is

659
00:29:17,308 --> 00:29:19,468
Speaker 1: currently two hundred and ninety three days till the NFC

660
00:29:19,588 --> 00:29:21,388
Speaker 1: Title Game, when the Rams will play the Bucks. We

661
00:29:21,388 --> 00:29:22,708
Speaker 1: don't know where it's going to be, but I do

662
00:29:22,748 --> 00:29:24,788
Speaker 1: think it is the Buccaneers. And I also do think

663
00:29:24,788 --> 00:29:27,748
Speaker 1: that we're still so drunk on Bill's Chiefs that we

664
00:29:27,828 --> 00:29:31,388
Speaker 1: forgot how wild the Rams versus the Bucks was in

665
00:29:31,468 --> 00:29:33,828
Speaker 1: the playoffs and that the Bucks had them And this

666
00:29:33,868 --> 00:29:36,148
Speaker 1: was the ultimate Brady comeback, and this was his second

667
00:29:36,268 --> 00:29:37,708
Speaker 1: version of twenty eight to three. And then to the

668
00:29:37,788 --> 00:29:39,828
Speaker 1: Rams credit, they didn't blink and they came back and

669
00:29:39,868 --> 00:29:42,908
Speaker 1: they got them. This this game was the instant, classic instant.

670
00:29:43,108 --> 00:29:44,708
Speaker 1: And I do think the Bucks are going to be

671
00:29:44,708 --> 00:29:46,268
Speaker 1: better next year. I do think they're gonna have a

672
00:29:46,268 --> 00:29:48,308
Speaker 1: different mojo. I think they're a few different players. I

673
00:29:48,308 --> 00:29:50,068
Speaker 1: think they're the biggest threat to the Rams for sure,

674
00:29:50,108 --> 00:29:52,188
Speaker 1: and the other threats of the Rams is also looking

675
00:29:52,228 --> 00:29:55,228
Speaker 1: at the Bucks. What I mean is last year's Bucks

676
00:29:55,228 --> 00:29:58,308
Speaker 1: team there was just something off in their quest to repeat,

677
00:29:58,348 --> 00:30:00,028
Speaker 1: and we tried for a whole year to put our

678
00:30:00,028 --> 00:30:02,548
Speaker 1: finger on it. The mojo was never quite right, and

679
00:30:02,628 --> 00:30:04,748
Speaker 1: sometimes that's just football. It's just like, man, it's hard.

680
00:30:04,748 --> 00:30:06,108
Speaker 1: It's hard to have the team and the rally and

681
00:30:06,148 --> 00:30:08,628
Speaker 1: the belief and the challenge sometimes for these teams that repeat.

682
00:30:08,668 --> 00:30:10,628
Speaker 1: The reason they haven't done it in twenty some years

683
00:30:10,708 --> 00:30:13,508
Speaker 1: is that it's so hard to really be channeled in

684
00:30:13,588 --> 00:30:16,028
Speaker 1: and dialed in. And we still got the same vibe

685
00:30:16,028 --> 00:30:17,988
Speaker 1: we had last year. There's some different players and there's

686
00:30:17,988 --> 00:30:19,748
Speaker 1: an X and no factor where von is missing, and

687
00:30:19,748 --> 00:30:21,988
Speaker 1: we'll get into that. But to really get the guys

688
00:30:22,028 --> 00:30:24,148
Speaker 1: to believe in buying it, just have that same kind

689
00:30:24,188 --> 00:30:26,748
Speaker 1: of vibe to you every single week, It's almost impossible.

690
00:30:26,828 --> 00:30:28,668
Speaker 1: It really is. And the Bucks didn't have it last year,

691
00:30:28,708 --> 00:30:30,468
Speaker 1: and the Rams will struggle this year. I still think

692
00:30:30,508 --> 00:30:31,948
Speaker 1: it's the two of them, and I think the AFC

693
00:30:32,148 --> 00:30:34,188
Speaker 1: is picked five different teams to get there. I think

694
00:30:34,188 --> 00:30:36,908
Speaker 1: these are two true front runners. I think two hundred

695
00:30:36,988 --> 00:30:38,588
Speaker 1: ninet three days, I think that's the biggest challenge. Beat

696
00:30:38,588 --> 00:30:40,148
Speaker 1: the Bucks in two hundred ninet three days. That's it.

697
00:30:40,228 --> 00:30:41,988
Speaker 1: I got two issues that are going to be challenges

698
00:30:41,988 --> 00:30:44,828
Speaker 1: for the Dams. Number one, complacency. That's it. You were

699
00:30:44,908 --> 00:30:47,548
Speaker 1: hungry before you got the Super Bowl. Now now you're fed, right,

700
00:30:47,788 --> 00:30:51,108
Speaker 1: everybody's big and in full right. We saw Aaron Donald

701
00:30:51,148 --> 00:30:54,588
Speaker 1: drinking bear shirts off all this explosion of like yes,

702
00:30:54,908 --> 00:30:57,468
Speaker 1: thank you. So I do think a level of complacency

703
00:30:57,508 --> 00:31:00,228
Speaker 1: could creep into their thought consciousness. But also the San

704
00:31:00,268 --> 00:31:03,068
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers. I mean, they've beat this team

705
00:31:03,108 --> 00:31:05,268
Speaker 1: twice in the regular season last year. They still have

706
00:31:05,348 --> 00:31:08,708
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan as their head coach, and this new quarterback,

707
00:31:08,748 --> 00:31:11,748
Speaker 1: Trey Lance, possibly the new starter in San Francisco. If

708
00:31:11,788 --> 00:31:15,388
Speaker 1: he is the starter with Jimmy Garoppolo possibly still being

709
00:31:15,828 --> 00:31:19,068
Speaker 1: on that roster, that tells me that the offensive play

710
00:31:19,108 --> 00:31:21,988
Speaker 1: callers and the people that run the offensive San Francisco

711
00:31:22,108 --> 00:31:24,628
Speaker 1: know that he's an upgrade. And having an upgrade at

712
00:31:24,708 --> 00:31:27,788
Speaker 1: quarterback for a team that's already beat you twice and

713
00:31:27,948 --> 00:31:30,188
Speaker 1: barely lost to you in the playoffs, I think. I

714
00:31:30,228 --> 00:31:31,868
Speaker 1: think the San Francisco for the nine Ers with that

715
00:31:31,948 --> 00:31:35,068
Speaker 1: kid Deebo Samuels leading away, is the biggest threat to

716
00:31:35,148 --> 00:31:37,588
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams, simply because of the physical style

717
00:31:37,628 --> 00:31:40,188
Speaker 1: that they play. They have a championship in dominating defense.

718
00:31:40,628 --> 00:31:43,508
Speaker 1: And really, is Kyle Shanahan designing these plays? Man? I

719
00:31:43,508 --> 00:31:46,868
Speaker 1: don't know how they stop this offense in the regular season,

720
00:31:46,988 --> 00:31:49,948
Speaker 1: especially if Trey Lance gets the rains at the quarterbacks.

721
00:31:52,028 --> 00:31:54,788
Speaker 1: I'm getting a smidge of this, like have you lifting one? Yeah?

722
00:31:54,788 --> 00:31:57,428
Speaker 1: What do you think? Yeah? Tampa didn't beat him last

723
00:31:57,548 --> 00:32:01,068
Speaker 1: San Francisco worthy of course, and with Garoppolo didn't beat

724
00:32:01,148 --> 00:32:02,628
Speaker 1: him in the end. So I can't look at those

725
00:32:02,628 --> 00:32:05,148
Speaker 1: two teams. It's like, it's the Lasak answer. We haven't

726
00:32:05,188 --> 00:32:07,188
Speaker 1: good morning football in the off season. Who can beat them?

727
00:32:07,468 --> 00:32:13,788
Speaker 1: You can beat themselves. The biggest threats of the Rams.

728
00:32:13,788 --> 00:32:19,508
Speaker 1: Oh Nate's ears are here. Here's the truth of it.

729
00:32:19,508 --> 00:32:22,188
Speaker 1: It's like McVay could have taken the TV money and

730
00:32:22,348 --> 00:32:24,108
Speaker 1: it was offered, and it was on the board, and

731
00:32:24,148 --> 00:32:26,428
Speaker 1: he decided to come back because he wanted to win again.

732
00:32:26,468 --> 00:32:28,428
Speaker 1: And Stafford is one of the reasons he came back,

733
00:32:28,428 --> 00:32:30,348
Speaker 1: and Aaron Donald's back because they want to win again.

734
00:32:30,388 --> 00:32:32,428
Speaker 1: So they all want to win again. But it's not

735
00:32:32,468 --> 00:32:35,188
Speaker 1: the same group. Von Miller was a very important piece

736
00:32:35,188 --> 00:32:36,908
Speaker 1: to this team. He was offered a lot of money

737
00:32:36,908 --> 00:32:39,308
Speaker 1: by the Rams. He chose the Bills instead. He chose

738
00:32:39,348 --> 00:32:42,868
Speaker 1: the Buffalo money instead. Robert Woods was an important leader

739
00:32:42,868 --> 00:32:46,348
Speaker 1: in what they built. He's gone Whitworth there their leader

740
00:32:46,348 --> 00:32:50,228
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, he's gone. Eric Weddle gone, Darius

741
00:32:50,228 --> 00:32:54,348
Speaker 1: Williams gone, Johnny Hecker, their best specialtyam is player gone.

742
00:32:54,428 --> 00:32:57,908
Speaker 1: And yes, they replenished, and they got guys like Bobby

743
00:32:57,988 --> 00:33:00,788
Speaker 1: Wagner and that's that's a heck of a player. And yes,

744
00:33:00,828 --> 00:33:02,908
Speaker 1: they brought in Alan Robinson and that in many ways

745
00:33:02,908 --> 00:33:05,068
Speaker 1: could be an upgrade from Robert Woods. But it's not

746
00:33:05,108 --> 00:33:07,628
Speaker 1: the same. And when you lose Kevin O'Connell in the

747
00:33:07,708 --> 00:33:10,188
Speaker 1: quarterbacks room, it's not the same. And when you lose

748
00:33:10,228 --> 00:33:12,508
Speaker 1: your safety's coach, it's not the same. So I think

749
00:33:12,508 --> 00:33:15,188
Speaker 1: their biggest threat is that, like it's not bring the

750
00:33:15,228 --> 00:33:17,548
Speaker 1: band back together. When the Bucks did it last year,

751
00:33:17,628 --> 00:33:19,868
Speaker 1: everyone took less money. They all came back. They returned

752
00:33:19,908 --> 00:33:22,028
Speaker 1: twenty two starters, the whole coaching staff came back. And

753
00:33:22,028 --> 00:33:23,828
Speaker 1: even then it wasn't the same because the injuries. This

754
00:33:23,868 --> 00:33:26,908
Speaker 1: isn't the same Rams team like Whitworth and Wettell and Vaughner.

755
00:33:27,388 --> 00:33:29,268
Speaker 1: I'll just the one more name out there, Odell Beckham

756
00:33:29,268 --> 00:33:31,948
Speaker 1: is still not signed. And Odell Beckham won them that

757
00:33:32,028 --> 00:33:34,268
Speaker 1: game against the Ravens in the rain. Odell Beckham was

758
00:33:34,348 --> 00:33:36,508
Speaker 1: huge against the forty nine ers in the playoffs, and

759
00:33:36,548 --> 00:33:39,068
Speaker 1: if he doesn't tear his ACL during the super Bowl,

760
00:33:39,068 --> 00:33:41,028
Speaker 1: he's about to be a super Bowl MVP. Because the

761
00:33:41,068 --> 00:33:43,428
Speaker 1: whole offensive game plan was that we're gonna cover Cup

762
00:33:43,468 --> 00:33:45,268
Speaker 1: and let's lit Odell beinus and Odell was beating them.

763
00:33:45,268 --> 00:33:46,948
Speaker 1: So it's a different team. And I still think Cooper

764
00:33:46,988 --> 00:33:49,828
Speaker 1: Cup needs to get a new contract. Situation Stafford's contract, Like,

765
00:33:50,428 --> 00:33:53,348
Speaker 1: there's a lot of different It's they always said it's

766
00:33:53,348 --> 00:33:55,708
Speaker 1: the disease of me with the Lakers, when like pat Riley,

767
00:33:55,708 --> 00:33:57,188
Speaker 1: they want two in a row, Like then everyone wants

768
00:33:57,188 --> 00:34:00,068
Speaker 1: their own and I don't see that necessarily. But it's

769
00:34:00,068 --> 00:34:01,908
Speaker 1: not the same Rams team. It's not. And it's the

770
00:34:01,908 --> 00:34:03,708
Speaker 1: coach who's the same and it's a quarterback and I'll

771
00:34:03,708 --> 00:34:05,908
Speaker 1: paper it's great, but like they just have to start

772
00:34:05,908 --> 00:34:07,668
Speaker 1: a new and say twenty twenty two is not twenty

773
00:34:07,708 --> 00:34:09,548
Speaker 1: and that might be good for them, no, Peter, the

774
00:34:09,628 --> 00:34:12,948
Speaker 1: fact that they do have some new energy, hunger, some hunger,

775
00:34:13,028 --> 00:34:14,988
Speaker 1: some guys in it that hadn't won the Super Bowl

776
00:34:15,068 --> 00:34:16,788
Speaker 1: last year that could help this team in a long one.

777
00:34:17,068 --> 00:34:19,188
Speaker 1: It's not the same teams, not the same year. I

778
00:34:19,188 --> 00:34:20,828
Speaker 1: think they're going to do it because the rest of

779
00:34:20,868 --> 00:34:23,068
Speaker 1: the NFC is so different. You look at these teams

780
00:34:23,108 --> 00:34:25,148
Speaker 1: that can't repeat, or you look at the AFC in

781
00:34:25,188 --> 00:34:26,828
Speaker 1: general and its wall. It's going to be hard for

782
00:34:26,828 --> 00:34:29,268
Speaker 1: anybody to come back and win the AFC and get

783
00:34:29,308 --> 00:34:31,468
Speaker 1: out of there. But with the NFC, the changes that

784
00:34:31,668 --> 00:34:33,948
Speaker 1: the departures, at least you got Ellen Robinson, at least

785
00:34:33,948 --> 00:34:35,868
Speaker 1: you got Bobby Wagner, and hopefully they figure it out

786
00:34:35,908 --> 00:34:37,988
Speaker 1: with a couple like you're saying, run it down. Cowboys

787
00:34:37,988 --> 00:34:40,988
Speaker 1: losing Maray Cooper and Randy Gregory, the Packers's Davante Adams,

788
00:34:41,068 --> 00:34:44,908
Speaker 1: Miners and Cardinals major questions at the quarterback position, and

789
00:34:45,028 --> 00:34:48,268
Speaker 1: they lose Mike McDaniel. Of course Ali Mr Pett hasn't

790
00:34:48,268 --> 00:34:50,188
Speaker 1: come out of retirement yet. You know, that's it's a

791
00:34:50,228 --> 00:34:53,628
Speaker 1: big one for you. I'm just saying, there's probably less

792
00:34:53,668 --> 00:34:56,868
Speaker 1: competition in the NFC this year, and they could easily

793
00:34:56,868 --> 00:34:59,268
Speaker 1: walk it back with Yeah, just just that point is

794
00:34:59,308 --> 00:35:02,508
Speaker 1: why a guy like McVay is like, yeah, that all

795
00:35:02,508 --> 00:35:04,988
Speaker 1: looks really nice. But I can only imagine if that

796
00:35:05,028 --> 00:35:07,428
Speaker 1: were me, I'd say, yeah, that's a pretty clean path.

797
00:35:07,668 --> 00:35:12,188
Speaker 1: We did this exercise. No, No, it's fascinated. So we said,

798
00:35:12,388 --> 00:35:14,348
Speaker 1: your life depends on picking a team to win the

799
00:35:14,428 --> 00:35:17,828
Speaker 1: NFC next year. You can't take the Rams Bucks, or

800
00:35:17,908 --> 00:35:19,388
Speaker 1: let's just throw in the pack of the Packers. We

801
00:35:19,468 --> 00:35:21,228
Speaker 1: throw the packs of Rodgers. Those three teams, and we

802
00:35:21,228 --> 00:35:22,788
Speaker 1: went around the table and we're like, who do you like?

803
00:35:22,828 --> 00:35:24,948
Speaker 1: We did a draft and after those three teams, it's

804
00:35:24,988 --> 00:35:30,428
Speaker 1: like the Viking would if it's me see like the

805
00:35:30,508 --> 00:35:34,188
Speaker 1: Niners were picking NC with a complete mystery at quarterback.

806
00:35:34,228 --> 00:35:35,948
Speaker 1: We don't know, That's what I'm saying, Like there is

807
00:35:35,988 --> 00:35:39,468
Speaker 1: no I went with the Eagles who were in the playoffs,

808
00:35:39,508 --> 00:35:41,508
Speaker 1: and then I didn't want to pick the Cardinals, but

809
00:35:41,508 --> 00:35:44,028
Speaker 1: it just came to with the Vikings. Yeah, they sed

810
00:35:44,068 --> 00:35:45,788
Speaker 1: on a new coach and like a good quarterback, I

811
00:35:45,828 --> 00:35:47,908
Speaker 1: gotta go with. I got just it's Kyle Shanahan. I

812
00:35:47,988 --> 00:35:50,628
Speaker 1: get what you're saying, it's whatever, but it's Kyle Shannon.

813
00:35:50,788 --> 00:35:54,988
Speaker 1: You got an AFC. You're twelve D not more deep.

814
00:35:55,068 --> 00:35:57,308
Speaker 1: So so you know what I'm saying, like that, why

815
00:35:57,348 --> 00:35:59,708
Speaker 1: can't they do it again again? And it's super if

816
00:35:59,748 --> 00:36:01,788
Speaker 1: this is the year to do that, it's so rare.

817
00:36:01,868 --> 00:36:04,028
Speaker 1: This is this is still the National Football League though guys,

818
00:36:04,068 --> 00:36:07,308
Speaker 1: you know guy on the other that's the point. Last year,

819
00:36:07,348 --> 00:36:10,148
Speaker 1: the Seti Bengals won the AFC, no one would have

820
00:36:10,148 --> 00:36:12,268
Speaker 1: picked them in some draft segment we do. Maybe we'll

821
00:36:12,308 --> 00:36:13,948
Speaker 1: do the FC this week if so. Fact to the

822
00:36:13,988 --> 00:36:17,748
Speaker 1: biggest threat to the Rams is the Rams.
