Black Rams and Bengals are 11 00:00:52,588 --> 00:00:55,748 Speaker 1: holding joint practices this week ahead of Saturday Super Bowl 12 00:00:55,788 --> 00:00:58,908 Speaker 1: rematch and preseason finale.

Joe Burrow 14 00:01:02,708 --> 00:01:06,148 Speaker 1: told reporters yesterday that he was a full go at 15 00:01:06,148 --> 00:01:08,988 Speaker 1: practice no limitations after missing a few weeks due to 16 00:01:09,028 --> 00:01:12,588 Speaker 1: his appendectomy in July. He also told reporters what he 17 00:01:12,628 --> 00:01:14,908 Speaker 1: thinks of the offense with just two weeks until the 18 00:01:14,948 --> 00:01:19,748 Speaker 1: regular season kicks off. We run the ball really well. 19 00:01:19,788 --> 00:01:21,268 Speaker 1: We got to get better in play action and then 20 00:01:21,308 --> 00:01:23,748 Speaker 1: our dropback passes. I think what we do best with 21 00:01:23,748 --> 00:01:25,668 Speaker 1: our guys on the outside. There's a lot of talk 22 00:01:27,348 --> 00:01:29,388 Speaker 1: Bay offense. Where do you do The biggest characteristics the 23 00:01:29,428 --> 00:01:32,428 Speaker 1: Zach Taylor offense could be throw to our horses on 24 00:01:32,468 --> 00:01:39,228 Speaker 1: the outside, really far down the field. He is right 25 00:01:39,268 --> 00:01:41,868 Speaker 1: about them just chuckling at everybody, chuckling at Joe Burrow. 26 00:01:41,868 --> 00:01:44,068 Speaker 1: We're all chuckling and it worked. They went from a 27 00:01:44,108 --> 00:01:47,068 Speaker 1: four win team last in the AFC North to a 28 00:01:47,228 --> 00:01:50,948 Speaker 1: Super Bowl contender the next season. Now it's all on tape. 29 00:01:51,028 --> 00:01:54,148 Speaker 1: So how are the Bengals and how will they handle 30 00:01:54,468 --> 00:01:58,788 Speaker 1: going from the hunters to being the hunted? I know, 31 00:01:59,028 --> 00:02:01,868 Speaker 1: right like they had everybody on their radar, radar, and 32 00:02:01,908 --> 00:02:04,748 Speaker 1: now they are on everybody's radar. It is a different 33 00:02:04,828 --> 00:02:07,668 Speaker 1: lifestyle when they walk into a stadium, when somebody walks 34 00:02:07,668 --> 00:02:10,028 Speaker 1: into their stadium, they're ready to go. They have that 35 00:02:10,068 --> 00:02:13,148 Speaker 1: game circle because of the Joe Burrows, the Jamar chase 36 00:02:13,268 --> 00:02:15,828 Speaker 1: to see Higgins Joe. And now it's a star studded 37 00:02:15,868 --> 00:02:18,068 Speaker 1: team and they're a young team. A lot of those 38 00:02:18,108 --> 00:02:20,628 Speaker 1: guys were a part of that four win season and 39 00:02:20,788 --> 00:02:23,868 Speaker 1: now you reach crazy success in one year. There was 40 00:02:23,908 --> 00:02:26,188 Speaker 1: no build up, there was no light. All right, we're 41 00:02:26,268 --> 00:02:28,388 Speaker 1: chopping down world. We're getting better each and every year, 42 00:02:28,508 --> 00:02:30,788 Speaker 1: like no, all of a sudden, we're in the super Bowl. 43 00:02:31,028 --> 00:02:33,268 Speaker 1: The Bengals will have somewhat of a letdown this year. 44 00:02:33,268 --> 00:02:35,748 Speaker 1: It's not gonna be just roses and all right. Next 45 00:02:35,788 --> 00:02:37,468 Speaker 1: thing you know, they're back in the super Bowl and 46 00:02:37,508 --> 00:02:40,388 Speaker 1: they're representing the AFC. I think they are gonna falter 47 00:02:40,468 --> 00:02:42,308 Speaker 1: a little bit. And this Bengals team, they were ten 48 00:02:42,308 --> 00:02:44,468 Speaker 1: and seven last year. They were the worst kind of 49 00:02:44,508 --> 00:02:47,388 Speaker 1: division winners of the playoffs. So it wasn't like they 50 00:02:47,428 --> 00:02:49,548 Speaker 1: just blew everybody out of the water with a twelve 51 00:02:49,668 --> 00:02:52,708 Speaker 1: thirteen win season. They won ten games, They lost a 52 00:02:52,708 --> 00:02:55,108 Speaker 1: lot of games. They lost games after playing against some 53 00:02:55,148 --> 00:02:57,748 Speaker 1: of their bigger opponents. They played Baltimore early on, blow 54 00:02:57,788 --> 00:03:00,228 Speaker 1: them out, lost to the Jets after that. It's kind 55 00:03:00,228 --> 00:03:02,548 Speaker 1: of what we call that trap game kind of mentality. 56 00:03:02,788 --> 00:03:05,028 Speaker 1: And after a season like they had lash Ye, where 57 00:03:05,068 --> 00:03:06,988 Speaker 1: you make it all the way to the super Bowl 58 00:03:07,228 --> 00:03:09,948 Speaker 1: and now everybody's gunning for you, I think it's gonna 59 00:03:09,948 --> 00:03:11,588 Speaker 1: be hard for him to have that same level of 60 00:03:11,668 --> 00:03:14,828 Speaker 1: consistency weekend and week out. I'm interested to hear you 61 00:03:14,828 --> 00:03:16,468 Speaker 1: say that, because I think there's a huge amount of 62 00:03:16,548 --> 00:03:18,748 Speaker 1: naivete about the Bengals in this season. And you look 63 00:03:18,748 --> 00:03:20,508 Speaker 1: at me, You're like, Wow, Burrow's back and Chase is there, 64 00:03:20,508 --> 00:03:22,188 Speaker 1: and they just got the band back together and they're 65 00:03:22,188 --> 00:03:24,068 Speaker 1: just setting out they're gonna be the new Chiefs. Are 66 00:03:24,108 --> 00:03:26,668 Speaker 1: they be careful just saying they're set up for years 67 00:03:26,668 --> 00:03:28,948 Speaker 1: like the Chiefs are. The Chiefs were already up and 68 00:03:29,068 --> 00:03:31,628 Speaker 1: running with Reid and Alex Smith and then my home 69 00:03:31,668 --> 00:03:34,348 Speaker 1: shows up and takes them to the stratosphere. Also, we'll 70 00:03:34,348 --> 00:03:36,508 Speaker 1: see what comes from the Bengals as an organization and 71 00:03:36,588 --> 00:03:39,028 Speaker 1: as a front office to keep these players, to keep 72 00:03:39,068 --> 00:03:41,628 Speaker 1: them going year after year. That's all TBD for this year. 73 00:03:41,748 --> 00:03:43,828 Speaker 1: How good is Joe Burrow? What are we gonna get 74 00:03:43,868 --> 00:03:46,428 Speaker 1: from him? Is Joe Burrow gonna set up shop for 75 00:03:46,468 --> 00:03:49,308 Speaker 1: the next five, six, seven, twelve years. As I'm like 76 00:03:49,348 --> 00:03:51,828 Speaker 1: this seventh or eighth best quarterback in the league, you know, 77 00:03:51,948 --> 00:03:55,628 Speaker 1: I'm kind of in that Deck Prescott zone. And that's fine, 78 00:03:55,668 --> 00:03:57,588 Speaker 1: that's great. Or is he like, no, I'm the man, 79 00:03:57,788 --> 00:04:00,428 Speaker 1: Like I am the new guy. I'm two, I'm three, 80 00:04:00,508 --> 00:04:04,308 Speaker 1: I'm one. Because if he's not we're just gonna be 81 00:04:04,428 --> 00:04:07,788 Speaker 1: in this thing where, like you go back to nineties NBA, 82 00:04:07,948 --> 00:04:11,988 Speaker 1: you got Alan and Jackson and Mahomes and Herbert, like 83 00:04:12,308 --> 00:04:15,988 Speaker 1: who is the Euen and the Barkley and those guys, 84 00:04:15,988 --> 00:04:18,308 Speaker 1: and then who is the Jordan? Because a bunch of 85 00:04:18,308 --> 00:04:20,788 Speaker 1: these guys, these great young quarterbacks we love and ain't 86 00:04:20,828 --> 00:04:22,588 Speaker 1: gonna work out. You're not gonna get your rings, You're 87 00:04:22,628 --> 00:04:24,068 Speaker 1: not gonna get back to the super Bowl. So it 88 00:04:24,148 --> 00:04:26,068 Speaker 1: Joe shows up this year and he's just like, yeah, 89 00:04:26,148 --> 00:04:28,788 Speaker 1: I'm really good. I'm a top ten guy. Pink pink, 90 00:04:28,788 --> 00:04:31,068 Speaker 1: You're gonna get picked off by these other guys in 91 00:04:31,108 --> 00:04:32,828 Speaker 1: this era that he's born in. His lot in life 92 00:04:32,948 --> 00:04:35,508 Speaker 1: is like, man, I'm in a bunch of great AFC 93 00:04:35,668 --> 00:04:38,188 Speaker 1: quarterbacks for my whole career. He might be the guy. 94 00:04:38,268 --> 00:04:39,868 Speaker 1: He might be like, I'm gonna be the Hall of 95 00:04:39,868 --> 00:04:41,988 Speaker 1: Famer of this group. I'm that good. We don't know yet, 96 00:04:42,068 --> 00:04:44,548 Speaker 1: way too young. But if he's only like, yeah, I'm 97 00:04:44,628 --> 00:04:46,228 Speaker 1: very good, I don't know if it's gonna be enough 98 00:04:46,268 --> 00:04:48,108 Speaker 1: because there's too many killers. There's too many Allan's and 99 00:04:48,148 --> 00:04:50,108 Speaker 1: Mahomes and like, I get it, he's beating them, and 100 00:04:50,148 --> 00:04:52,668 Speaker 1: I love it, but year after year, way way harder 101 00:04:52,668 --> 00:04:54,188 Speaker 1: than it looks. You don't just snap your fingers and 102 00:04:54,228 --> 00:04:56,668 Speaker 1: say we're the new Chiefs. It's interesting because he said 103 00:04:56,708 --> 00:04:58,548 Speaker 1: that yesterday. He said, hey, you know, last year, it's 104 00:04:58,588 --> 00:05:00,108 Speaker 1: almost like still my rookie year the first half of 105 00:05:00,148 --> 00:05:02,148 Speaker 1: the season coming off the ACL and it was like 106 00:05:02,228 --> 00:05:03,908 Speaker 1: not until that second half season when they started to 107 00:05:03,908 --> 00:05:06,068 Speaker 1: get rolling that they actually started believing each other. And 108 00:05:06,068 --> 00:05:08,068 Speaker 1: that ten and seven record was not indicative of what 109 00:05:08,108 --> 00:05:09,988 Speaker 1: they looked like down the stretch, right, those were games 110 00:05:09,988 --> 00:05:11,188 Speaker 1: that they lost in the game they were three and 111 00:05:11,228 --> 00:05:12,988 Speaker 1: three at one point. I look at last year and 112 00:05:13,028 --> 00:05:15,068 Speaker 1: I look at two different teams where they played against 113 00:05:15,068 --> 00:05:16,908 Speaker 1: the mighty Ravens, who used to kick the snot out 114 00:05:16,908 --> 00:05:18,508 Speaker 1: of them every single week. What they did against the 115 00:05:18,548 --> 00:05:20,988 Speaker 1: Ravens in two games and the first game they go in, 116 00:05:21,068 --> 00:05:23,508 Speaker 1: they play the Ravens in Baltimore and it was like, 117 00:05:23,588 --> 00:05:25,948 Speaker 1: what the heck just happened? Bengals beat them forty one 118 00:05:26,028 --> 00:05:28,668 Speaker 1: to seventeen. Lamar was on the field and burrowed through 119 00:05:28,708 --> 00:05:32,308 Speaker 1: for four hundred and sixteen yards. The Ravens obviously licking 120 00:05:32,308 --> 00:05:34,468 Speaker 1: their chops to get another shot at them. They played 121 00:05:34,508 --> 00:05:37,188 Speaker 1: them a second time, and I know it's not Lamar 122 00:05:37,188 --> 00:05:39,948 Speaker 1: at quarterback, but the Bengals beat them again forty one 123 00:05:40,028 --> 00:05:42,668 Speaker 1: to twenty one and burrowed through for five and twenty 124 00:05:42,668 --> 00:05:45,628 Speaker 1: five yards in that game. So to me, it's like 125 00:05:45,748 --> 00:05:47,788 Speaker 1: young team, all right, we beat you once, and then 126 00:05:47,828 --> 00:05:49,908 Speaker 1: the old veteran team like it's the best team or 127 00:05:49,988 --> 00:05:52,228 Speaker 1: old about the Chiefs. They played the Chiefs in a 128 00:05:52,468 --> 00:05:56,388 Speaker 1: very very important game in week seventeen where playoff. You know, 129 00:05:56,468 --> 00:05:58,708 Speaker 1: Berts are on the line, the whole deal. They play 130 00:05:58,748 --> 00:06:01,748 Speaker 1: the Chiefs and you know they go in Week seventeen 131 00:06:01,788 --> 00:06:03,948 Speaker 1: and they beat them thirty four to thirty one at home, 132 00:06:04,068 --> 00:06:06,988 Speaker 1: and it was an awesome victory where Jamar Chase went 133 00:06:07,068 --> 00:06:10,828 Speaker 1: for eleven catches a twotor in sixty six yards. You 134 00:06:10,868 --> 00:06:13,788 Speaker 1: fast forward to the AFC Championship game and it's like 135 00:06:14,028 --> 00:06:15,788 Speaker 1: they should be scared of the Chiefs. They're down, they're 136 00:06:15,788 --> 00:06:18,828 Speaker 1: down twenty one, they run over. They weren't like they 137 00:06:18,828 --> 00:06:21,148 Speaker 1: came all the way back and all the guy like 138 00:06:21,148 --> 00:06:24,228 Speaker 1: you're seeing smash p rhyme making huge plays in an 139 00:06:24,268 --> 00:06:27,348 Speaker 1: AFC Championship game in Arrowhead. So they did it last year. 140 00:06:27,388 --> 00:06:29,948 Speaker 1: They went into these places that have been you know, 141 00:06:30,068 --> 00:06:32,268 Speaker 1: haunted for them, and they went in against these big 142 00:06:32,308 --> 00:06:34,068 Speaker 1: dog teams and they kicked the snot out of the 143 00:06:34,148 --> 00:06:36,668 Speaker 1: Ravens twice, and then they beat the Chiefs twice when 144 00:06:36,668 --> 00:06:38,268 Speaker 1: the Chiefs were supposed to be the team last year. 145 00:06:38,428 --> 00:06:40,148 Speaker 1: We had to make our predictions out of the AFC 146 00:06:40,468 --> 00:06:41,828 Speaker 1: in a week. Or how do you do when your 147 00:06:41,868 --> 00:06:44,628 Speaker 1: rides land on the North forget the North whole thing? Like, 148 00:06:44,788 --> 00:06:47,228 Speaker 1: is anyone picking the Bengals. We haven't made our picks yet. 149 00:06:47,308 --> 00:06:49,228 Speaker 1: I'd be curious to see if anyone in the national 150 00:06:49,268 --> 00:06:51,628 Speaker 1: media picking the Bengals to go back again. And it's 151 00:06:51,708 --> 00:06:54,268 Speaker 1: very easy to say, like I'm doing it. Yeah, they're good, 152 00:06:54,268 --> 00:06:57,188 Speaker 1: They're great. How good? How much faith do you have 153 00:06:57,268 --> 00:06:59,308 Speaker 1: in them? I'm curious to what people think and what 154 00:06:59,388 --> 00:07:02,108 Speaker 1: the Bengals thing. So agreed that the Bengals are one 155 00:07:02,108 --> 00:07:04,268 Speaker 1: of the teams in the league that ride or die 156 00:07:04,428 --> 00:07:06,348 Speaker 1: with their quarterback. It's not like, oh, you've got to 157 00:07:06,348 --> 00:07:08,308 Speaker 1: shut down defense and the offense has to manage, like 158 00:07:08,348 --> 00:07:11,028 Speaker 1: this team will rise and fall with Joe Burrow. Okay, 159 00:07:11,068 --> 00:07:13,508 Speaker 1: that being said, I can't stop going back to the 160 00:07:13,548 --> 00:07:16,548 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen LSU Tigers. Joe Burrow has done this before. 161 00:07:16,588 --> 00:07:19,748 Speaker 1: He was the hunter and then became the hunted. In 162 00:07:19,788 --> 00:07:23,308 Speaker 1: the preseason pole in twenty nineteen, LSU is ranked six. 163 00:07:23,468 --> 00:07:25,188 Speaker 1: Keep in mind all these teams that were above him, 164 00:07:25,228 --> 00:07:27,548 Speaker 1: because they will come into play as he went from 165 00:07:27,628 --> 00:07:31,828 Speaker 1: hunter to hunted. LSUS ranked six. As September and October 166 00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:34,428 Speaker 1: roll along in twenty nineteen, they start to pick off teams, 167 00:07:34,468 --> 00:07:37,588 Speaker 1: They start to rise up the ranks. November ninth, twenty nineteen, 168 00:07:37,588 --> 00:07:41,228 Speaker 1: their number one, Alabama is eight. He picks off Alabama. 169 00:07:41,388 --> 00:07:43,588 Speaker 1: It starts to flip. All of a sudden, he becomes 170 00:07:43,588 --> 00:07:46,468 Speaker 1: the hunted. He becomes a Heisman front runner. And then 171 00:07:46,548 --> 00:07:48,708 Speaker 1: is there the Heisman curse for Joe Burrow? Does he 172 00:07:48,748 --> 00:07:51,108 Speaker 1: fall on his face? And this in the college football playoffs? 173 00:07:51,148 --> 00:07:53,628 Speaker 1: Look at that? Absolutely not? Okay, okay he fell down? 174 00:07:53,628 --> 00:07:57,828 Speaker 1: Then in the National Championship, No did he He did not. 175 00:07:58,428 --> 00:08:01,508 Speaker 1: There are his numbers, four hundred and sixty three passing 176 00:08:01,588 --> 00:08:05,628 Speaker 1: yards against Clemsit. He beat four of the five teams 177 00:08:05,628 --> 00:08:08,308 Speaker 1: that were ranked higher than him in the top six 178 00:08:08,628 --> 00:08:12,148 Speaker 1: preseason poll in twenty nineteen. He was the hunter, he 179 00:08:12,268 --> 00:08:15,748 Speaker 1: became the hunted. He's been here before, He'll do it again. 180 00:08:16,268 --> 00:08:18,828 Speaker 1: This is a comfortable place for Joe Burrow to exist. 181 00:08:18,908 --> 00:08:20,548 Speaker 1: This is no this is the first half of my 182 00:08:20,628 --> 00:08:22,628 Speaker 1: rookie season. I feel like he's just messing with all 183 00:08:22,668 --> 00:08:26,588 Speaker 1: of us. He's like, I'm good, We're good. I got it? 184 00:08:26,708 --> 00:08:29,748 Speaker 1: Is it? So it's been a thrilling couple of weeks 185 00:08:29,748 --> 00:08:32,428 Speaker 1: because now that we know players one hundred through twenty one, 186 00:08:32,748 --> 00:08:35,308 Speaker 1: how will the rest of the list unfold? You can 187 00:08:35,348 --> 00:08:37,028 Speaker 1: hear what players have to say about each other as 188 00:08:37,068 --> 00:08:39,188 Speaker 1: they discuss who they nominated and why who will be 189 00:08:39,308 --> 00:08:41,908 Speaker 1: number one? The questions are endless. Top one hundred Players 190 00:08:41,948 --> 00:08:44,908 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two percented by Truly continues this Sunday at 191 00:08:44,908 --> 00:08:48,988 Speaker 1: eight pm Eastern right here on NFL Network. We still 192 00:08:48,988 --> 00:08:51,428 Speaker 1: have a few more days to make our predictions, and 193 00:08:51,468 --> 00:08:53,348 Speaker 1: we are just getting fired up about who's going to 194 00:08:53,388 --> 00:08:54,988 Speaker 1: take that number one spot in the NFL Top one 195 00:08:55,068 --> 00:08:57,868 Speaker 1: hundred Players twenty twenty two. For now, though, let's focus 196 00:08:57,988 --> 00:09:00,308 Speaker 1: on the quarterbacks. As we take a look at the 197 00:09:00,428 --> 00:09:03,508 Speaker 1: top ten highest rand quarterbacks in the twenty twenty one lists. 198 00:09:03,908 --> 00:09:06,428 Speaker 1: They were four of them in the top ten, which 199 00:09:06,548 --> 00:09:09,188 Speaker 1: is something to say about twenty twenty one. For now, 200 00:09:09,228 --> 00:09:12,068 Speaker 1: we want to focus on two of those in the AFC. Naturally, 201 00:09:12,828 --> 00:09:15,108 Speaker 1: which quarterback will rank higher on the NFL Top one 202 00:09:15,188 --> 00:09:18,828 Speaker 1: hundred list of twenty twenty two, Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen. 203 00:09:18,988 --> 00:09:22,668 Speaker 1: It's interesting when Patrick Mahomes was four and Lamar Jackson 204 00:09:22,708 --> 00:09:24,428 Speaker 1: was one, they went and beat the Ravens and he 205 00:09:24,508 --> 00:09:27,628 Speaker 1: threw touchdowns and was doing this one, two, three, four, 206 00:09:27,708 --> 00:09:29,908 Speaker 1: and they went like this. I think Josh Allen's gonna 207 00:09:29,908 --> 00:09:31,708 Speaker 1: be higher than Patrick Mahomes and that's gonna sit on 208 00:09:31,788 --> 00:09:34,668 Speaker 1: Mahomes's shoulder. I think the players were blown away with 209 00:09:34,668 --> 00:09:36,628 Speaker 1: what Allen did in the playoffs, both against the Patriots 210 00:09:36,668 --> 00:09:38,348 Speaker 1: and then against the Chiefs, even in a loss. I 211 00:09:38,388 --> 00:09:40,348 Speaker 1: think Josh Allen for the players gonna be high, and 212 00:09:40,348 --> 00:09:42,228 Speaker 1: I think Mahomes and be watching. Yeah, I agree, And 213 00:09:42,748 --> 00:09:46,868 Speaker 1: my thought processes now, Mahomes side arm throws, bodies parallel 214 00:09:46,908 --> 00:09:49,188 Speaker 1: to the ground, making throws. It's kind of the Lebron 215 00:09:49,308 --> 00:09:52,188 Speaker 1: James effect we're so used to seeing. It was just like, oh, 216 00:09:52,228 --> 00:09:54,508 Speaker 1: that's not I mean, that's just Mahomes being on Mahomes. 217 00:09:54,668 --> 00:09:57,028 Speaker 1: Another quarterback does something, we're like, oh, well, if Patrick 218 00:09:57,068 --> 00:09:59,348 Speaker 1: Mahomes did that, we wouldn't even be surprised. So for 219 00:09:59,468 --> 00:10:02,268 Speaker 1: that reason, people are just astonished by what Josh Allen 220 00:10:02,428 --> 00:10:05,188 Speaker 1: had to do Lasher's Dragon Guys throw touchdown Saw. I'm 221 00:10:05,228 --> 00:10:08,068 Speaker 1: going Josh Allenson Holmes won that game. You know, it's 222 00:10:08,068 --> 00:10:10,148 Speaker 1: so weird. I think we've talked ourselves into Allen won 223 00:10:10,188 --> 00:10:12,508 Speaker 1: the game. Mahomes did the thirteenth second miracle, than Mahomes 224 00:10:12,548 --> 00:10:14,428 Speaker 1: did it again and over time. I love Josh. It 225 00:10:14,468 --> 00:10:16,188 Speaker 1: should be Mahomes, and I think it will be he 226 00:10:16,268 --> 00:10:19,268 Speaker 1: won the game. I don't understand why we give the Josh. Yeah, 227 00:10:19,348 --> 00:10:21,268 Speaker 1: I'm with Mahomes too, but mostly because of like the 228 00:10:21,348 --> 00:10:24,028 Speaker 1: Stefan Trevon Diggs comment I had last week or this 229 00:10:24,068 --> 00:10:25,948 Speaker 1: week about the top one hundred, It's like, you don't 230 00:10:25,988 --> 00:10:28,828 Speaker 1: want to vote Patrick Mahomes any lower than anybody else, like, 231 00:10:28,948 --> 00:10:32,348 Speaker 1: because God forbid what comes of Patrick Mahomes when he 232 00:10:32,548 --> 00:10:36,108 Speaker 1: is put any lower the number one coming up? Is 233 00:10:36,148 --> 00:10:38,548 Speaker 1: it possible that the Packers office could be even better 234 00:10:38,628 --> 00:10:40,548 Speaker 1: or this year than they were last year. I'm just 235 00:10:40,668 --> 00:10:58,148 Speaker 1: asking the question. Okay, we're gonna give you our thoughts. 236 00:10:58,828 --> 00:11:01,268 Speaker 1: It's game day. The Backers and the Chiefs are wrapping 237 00:11:01,308 --> 00:11:03,348 Speaker 1: up their preseason tonight, and everybody else is preests in 238 00:11:03,388 --> 00:11:05,788 Speaker 1: the APM Eastern right here on NFL Network. As if 239 00:11:05,788 --> 00:11:08,708 Speaker 1: this wasn't big enough, this matchup one of Green Bay's 240 00:11:08,788 --> 00:11:11,988 Speaker 1: new wide receiver, Sammy Watkins, and a little bit more 241 00:11:12,308 --> 00:11:15,988 Speaker 1: intrigue when he told Packers dot Com after playing with 242 00:11:16,028 --> 00:11:18,868 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes for three seasons, he said, I think Pat 243 00:11:18,908 --> 00:11:21,628 Speaker 1: is incredibly good. Let's just start there. But I think 244 00:11:21,708 --> 00:11:24,708 Speaker 1: a rod is on a whole other level. He's amazing 245 00:11:24,708 --> 00:11:27,108 Speaker 1: how he controls the ball, how he can put anybody 246 00:11:27,108 --> 00:11:29,348 Speaker 1: in place. I've been with a lot of quarterbacks. I've 247 00:11:29,388 --> 00:11:33,148 Speaker 1: never seen them carry themselves like Aaron Rodgers end quote, 248 00:11:33,628 --> 00:11:36,708 Speaker 1: I too have not seen anyone carry themselves like Aaron Rodgers. Well, 249 00:11:36,748 --> 00:11:38,548 Speaker 1: as we take a look at what he's got to 250 00:11:38,588 --> 00:11:40,708 Speaker 1: work with in twenty twenty two, Rodgers may have to 251 00:11:40,748 --> 00:11:43,628 Speaker 1: take his game to yet another level this season without 252 00:11:43,668 --> 00:11:46,908 Speaker 1: his all Pro wide receiver Davante Adams. Of course, we 253 00:11:46,908 --> 00:11:48,748 Speaker 1: don't know what this group will look like on the 254 00:11:48,788 --> 00:11:52,348 Speaker 1: field just yet, But is it possible looking at those 255 00:11:52,428 --> 00:11:55,388 Speaker 1: names that the Packers' offense could be better this season 256 00:11:55,668 --> 00:11:58,908 Speaker 1: without Tabont Addams? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, Here's the thing. I 257 00:11:58,908 --> 00:12:00,628 Speaker 1: don't know if their numbers are going to be better. 258 00:12:00,628 --> 00:12:03,348 Speaker 1: But I think generally how they work, one thing's not 259 00:12:03,388 --> 00:12:05,628 Speaker 1: going to age really well is are spending the whole 260 00:12:05,628 --> 00:12:07,868 Speaker 1: offseason talking about who's going to step up as wide 261 00:12:07,868 --> 00:12:09,948 Speaker 1: receiver who's not. I know why we do it, but 262 00:12:09,988 --> 00:12:12,228 Speaker 1: I also think it's gonna end up being irrelevant. I 263 00:12:12,268 --> 00:12:15,228 Speaker 1: think the offensive MVP for the Packers outside of Rodgers 264 00:12:15,348 --> 00:12:16,948 Speaker 1: is gonna be Aaron Jones. I think he's gonna be 265 00:12:17,148 --> 00:12:20,348 Speaker 1: wildly involved all over the field, backfield otherwise. Remember they 266 00:12:20,348 --> 00:12:21,788 Speaker 1: couldn't let him go and it's just like all right, 267 00:12:21,828 --> 00:12:24,428 Speaker 1: it's aj Jones. Time they kept him on, they paid him. 268 00:12:24,548 --> 00:12:27,148 Speaker 1: I think he's going to be everywhere. And what's fascinated 269 00:12:27,148 --> 00:12:28,988 Speaker 1: about this to me is that on the day that 270 00:12:29,028 --> 00:12:32,388 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers called out his young receivers that took every 271 00:12:32,388 --> 00:12:35,628 Speaker 1: single headline, there is a hidden gem within the exact 272 00:12:35,708 --> 00:12:38,988 Speaker 1: same media session that day in which Rogers basically laid 273 00:12:38,988 --> 00:12:41,588 Speaker 1: out what's gonna happen. He's talking about Dylan and Jones. 274 00:12:41,748 --> 00:12:43,908 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to use Jones and Dylan. He seems 275 00:12:43,908 --> 00:12:45,708 Speaker 1: today we had them in a multiple packages where they're 276 00:12:45,708 --> 00:12:47,268 Speaker 1: both on the field. We've got to get our best 277 00:12:47,268 --> 00:12:49,148 Speaker 1: eleven on the field. And it seems like those two 278 00:12:49,188 --> 00:12:52,108 Speaker 1: are in our best eleven want on to elaborate about. 279 00:12:52,348 --> 00:12:54,028 Speaker 1: We got things out of the backfield for them, we 280 00:12:54,108 --> 00:12:56,708 Speaker 1: got things downfield for them. Just do the math with me. Here, 281 00:12:56,828 --> 00:12:59,988 Speaker 1: five linemen, a quarterback, a tight end, time in, a 282 00:13:00,108 --> 00:13:02,828 Speaker 1: running back, a running back. That's nine players. That's two 283 00:13:02,868 --> 00:13:05,468 Speaker 1: spots for wide receivers. They're taking the field week one, 284 00:13:05,588 --> 00:13:07,868 Speaker 1: and it is Lazard and Watkins and maybe Cobb in 285 00:13:07,948 --> 00:13:10,868 Speaker 1: and out. I don't think the Romeo Dobbs Christian Watson 286 00:13:10,948 --> 00:13:13,228 Speaker 1: thing is going to even play a role until maybe 287 00:13:13,308 --> 00:13:15,868 Speaker 1: later in the season. They're gonna do really creative things 288 00:13:15,868 --> 00:13:18,468 Speaker 1: with both running backs and two wide receivers a lot. 289 00:13:18,788 --> 00:13:20,748 Speaker 1: So I actually do think it's gonna work. Be a 290 00:13:20,748 --> 00:13:23,748 Speaker 1: defensive team and a running team stats now, who cares. 291 00:13:23,908 --> 00:13:25,628 Speaker 1: I think they'll be just as efficient. I do. But 292 00:13:25,628 --> 00:13:27,508 Speaker 1: who's he gonna go to on third and eight? Is 293 00:13:27,548 --> 00:13:30,308 Speaker 1: he gonna go to on third and sex? Okay, all right, 294 00:13:30,348 --> 00:13:32,268 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at that wide receivers room, because 295 00:13:32,268 --> 00:13:33,788 Speaker 1: I do think it matters. Take a look here. Let's 296 00:13:33,788 --> 00:13:35,508 Speaker 1: look at the wide receivers room that he's walking into 297 00:13:35,628 --> 00:13:38,428 Speaker 1: right now. And there are guys we need two of them. Right, 298 00:13:38,428 --> 00:13:41,628 Speaker 1: So let's say it's Lazard and Watkins to start, or 299 00:13:41,668 --> 00:13:43,588 Speaker 1: maybe Cobbs you're you know, he's a slot guy, and 300 00:13:43,668 --> 00:13:45,268 Speaker 1: Dobbs and wats to come. Okay, So there are guys 301 00:13:45,268 --> 00:13:47,188 Speaker 1: that is not an impressive room compared to what we're 302 00:13:47,188 --> 00:13:49,908 Speaker 1: seeing at Cincinnati and the City and some of these 303 00:13:49,908 --> 00:13:51,828 Speaker 1: other places where it's just named her name of her name. 304 00:13:52,348 --> 00:13:56,188 Speaker 1: Last year, when it mattered most, only Rogers and Adams 305 00:13:56,188 --> 00:13:57,868 Speaker 1: on the field on that offense. I watched that game 306 00:13:57,908 --> 00:14:01,388 Speaker 1: back goes on NFL Network. It's a tough watch when 307 00:14:01,388 --> 00:14:04,108 Speaker 1: it matters most, You've got other wide receivers on the field, 308 00:14:04,108 --> 00:14:05,988 Speaker 1: but it's just gonna be Adams no matter what. And 309 00:14:06,028 --> 00:14:08,308 Speaker 1: now Adams is gone. So as much as we could 310 00:14:08,348 --> 00:14:10,028 Speaker 1: talk about this two running back thing and the two 311 00:14:10,068 --> 00:14:12,908 Speaker 1: tight ends and well maybe Dobbs is good like in 312 00:14:12,908 --> 00:14:15,068 Speaker 1: a moment, and all that matters for the Packers this 313 00:14:15,148 --> 00:14:17,588 Speaker 1: year is January. He's gonna have to rely on some 314 00:14:17,668 --> 00:14:19,708 Speaker 1: one of those wide receivers. And one of the worst 315 00:14:19,748 --> 00:14:22,068 Speaker 1: losses I've ever seen in NFL history, that Packer's home 316 00:14:22,108 --> 00:14:24,468 Speaker 1: loss with special teams in the punt block and the 317 00:14:24,508 --> 00:14:26,428 Speaker 1: way they just could not move the ball after the 318 00:14:26,468 --> 00:14:28,708 Speaker 1: prolific season, and he had I have to think one 319 00:14:28,708 --> 00:14:30,748 Speaker 1: of these wide receivers gonna have to step up, and 320 00:14:30,868 --> 00:14:32,588 Speaker 1: I can't put my finger on it. I'm not ready 321 00:14:32,588 --> 00:14:34,228 Speaker 1: to say Alan Lazard is gonna be able to fill 322 00:14:34,228 --> 00:14:36,108 Speaker 1: that role just as yet, all fairness, I believe that 323 00:14:36,108 --> 00:14:37,948 Speaker 1: they will be fine on offense. I just don't know 324 00:14:38,028 --> 00:14:40,748 Speaker 1: without Hackett, without Getsy and without Adams if we can 325 00:14:40,788 --> 00:14:42,188 Speaker 1: say that this thing is going to be as good 326 00:14:42,228 --> 00:14:44,748 Speaker 1: as it was last year. Listen, it's questions like this, 327 00:14:44,868 --> 00:14:47,268 Speaker 1: and like I applaud that it was a deep dive 328 00:14:47,308 --> 00:14:48,988 Speaker 1: on that take like to go to the game and 329 00:14:49,028 --> 00:14:52,268 Speaker 1: to the wide receiver room and the stats, and then 330 00:14:52,268 --> 00:14:54,188 Speaker 1: you have the quote from the media session. But like 331 00:14:54,388 --> 00:14:57,348 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers told us the answer to this question earlier 332 00:14:57,348 --> 00:14:59,228 Speaker 1: in preseason, and I just want you to hear his 333 00:14:59,348 --> 00:15:01,908 Speaker 1: answer once again because he told us the answer the 334 00:15:01,988 --> 00:15:05,348 Speaker 1: question already. Young guys, especially young receivers, we've got to 335 00:15:05,348 --> 00:15:07,788 Speaker 1: be way more consistent. You know, a lot of drops, 336 00:15:07,788 --> 00:15:11,068 Speaker 1: a lot of bad route decisions, run the wrong route. 337 00:15:11,428 --> 00:15:13,188 Speaker 1: We got to get better in that area. Had a 338 00:15:13,228 --> 00:15:16,108 Speaker 1: conversation with a couple of the young guys about the 339 00:15:16,148 --> 00:15:18,628 Speaker 1: standard that we're going to hold them too. They are rookies, 340 00:15:18,708 --> 00:15:22,708 Speaker 1: but their NFL players and what's been on film hasn't 341 00:15:22,748 --> 00:15:25,068 Speaker 1: been good enough as of yet. So there's been some 342 00:15:25,108 --> 00:15:28,548 Speaker 1: splash plays, but there's been a lot of mistakes. Here's 343 00:15:28,548 --> 00:15:31,188 Speaker 1: what I find fascinating about that statement, especially the first 344 00:15:31,228 --> 00:15:33,508 Speaker 1: half where he is talking about their mistakes and their 345 00:15:33,588 --> 00:15:37,308 Speaker 1: drops and their mental errors. You could take that exact 346 00:15:37,468 --> 00:15:40,628 Speaker 1: quote verbatim and you could play it on January fifteenth, 347 00:15:40,668 --> 00:15:43,828 Speaker 1: after the Packers perhaps lose an opening round game in 348 00:15:43,868 --> 00:15:46,588 Speaker 1: the playoffs, and it still plays. He could be looking 349 00:15:46,628 --> 00:15:49,308 Speaker 1: at young wide receivers as his issue because once again, 350 00:15:49,348 --> 00:15:51,508 Speaker 1: as Peter pointed out, he doesn't have the option in 351 00:15:51,588 --> 00:15:53,908 Speaker 1: Davante Adams. I think it's gonna be hard different teams 352 00:15:53,908 --> 00:15:56,108 Speaker 1: when relying the run for different reasons. But if you 353 00:15:56,148 --> 00:15:59,068 Speaker 1: have Aaron Rodgers, I don't understand why. And unless they 354 00:15:59,148 --> 00:16:01,748 Speaker 1: become like excellent and they really utilize them as pass 355 00:16:01,788 --> 00:16:04,708 Speaker 1: benching running backs, that's great and do that, but like, 356 00:16:04,868 --> 00:16:06,868 Speaker 1: why would you hand the ball off eight times out 357 00:16:06,868 --> 00:16:08,828 Speaker 1: of ten you have Aaron Rodgers and quarterback? I love 358 00:16:08,908 --> 00:16:11,188 Speaker 1: this because later on it's one thing to sit around 359 00:16:11,188 --> 00:16:13,428 Speaker 1: the table and talk about it. And pull up this. 360 00:16:13,668 --> 00:16:17,068 Speaker 1: That's that. It's another thing to get inside the film 361 00:16:17,148 --> 00:16:19,788 Speaker 1: room and break it down. And later on holding courts, 362 00:16:19,828 --> 00:16:22,588 Speaker 1: I will be breaking this down because the Packers offense 363 00:16:22,628 --> 00:16:25,708 Speaker 1: will still be very good. They still have Aaron Rodgers 364 00:16:25,828 --> 00:16:28,868 Speaker 1: and a matter of fact, they played games without Davante 365 00:16:28,988 --> 00:16:32,828 Speaker 1: Adams these last three seasons and they performed well you'll 366 00:16:32,828 --> 00:16:36,268 Speaker 1: see right here, seven and old thirty one points per 367 00:16:36,428 --> 00:16:40,708 Speaker 1: tea two hundred and seventy seven passing yards per game. 368 00:16:40,908 --> 00:16:44,468 Speaker 1: That sounds pretty good to me. They won seven games 369 00:16:44,468 --> 00:16:46,668 Speaker 1: and the last time I checked, the game of football 370 00:16:47,108 --> 00:16:50,908 Speaker 1: is about winning, and like Kyle alluded to, this Packers 371 00:16:50,948 --> 00:16:53,908 Speaker 1: team can still win a lot and can still perform 372 00:16:54,028 --> 00:16:57,508 Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball. Aaron Rodgers in 373 00:16:57,668 --> 00:17:01,468 Speaker 1: those games he had nineteen tens, one interception, and one 374 00:17:01,548 --> 00:17:04,028 Speaker 1: hundred and nineteen passer rating. I think that has a 375 00:17:04,028 --> 00:17:06,868 Speaker 1: lot to do with the offense. And I will show 376 00:17:06,908 --> 00:17:10,268 Speaker 1: you guys later on the importance of and Aaron Jones 377 00:17:10,268 --> 00:17:12,388 Speaker 1: and what he can do, and not only that, the 378 00:17:12,468 --> 00:17:15,868 Speaker 1: importance of where you align these receivers and what you 379 00:17:15,988 --> 00:17:18,628 Speaker 1: do with them. No matter who it is in the game, 380 00:17:18,908 --> 00:17:21,988 Speaker 1: give the floor some credit, how you utilize these guys 381 00:17:22,028 --> 00:17:24,188 Speaker 1: will go a long way. I'm fired up to show 382 00:17:24,228 --> 00:17:26,188 Speaker 1: you guys and get your response, and I would just add, 383 00:17:26,228 --> 00:17:28,548 Speaker 1: as everyone at home, it's picking us apart. Also, they 384 00:17:28,628 --> 00:17:30,748 Speaker 1: might have the best defense in the league. So if 385 00:17:30,828 --> 00:17:34,068 Speaker 1: they do do this running thing, like their defense is 386 00:17:34,268 --> 00:17:37,308 Speaker 1: nasty and is loaded, and it might be the defense 387 00:17:37,628 --> 00:17:39,668 Speaker 1: and Rogers might be shuddering to hear. This might be 388 00:17:39,708 --> 00:17:41,148 Speaker 1: the defense carrying the load in a lot of these 389 00:17:41,148 --> 00:17:42,828 Speaker 1: games too, because they're that good. They can win on 390 00:17:42,868 --> 00:17:44,668 Speaker 1: that tway too. And I would I would change my answer. 391 00:17:44,708 --> 00:17:45,788 Speaker 1: You asked me, who's he going to do in the 392 00:17:45,828 --> 00:17:47,388 Speaker 1: third name, I just spit out the Lazardi. Yeah, he 393 00:17:47,388 --> 00:17:49,228 Speaker 1: said Lazar. I think he's won. Aaron Jones. I think 394 00:17:49,228 --> 00:17:51,108 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones is gonna have eightyear and ninety catches this year, 395 00:17:51,148 --> 00:17:52,588 Speaker 1: and I know, always a running back. I think he's 396 00:17:52,628 --> 00:17:54,108 Speaker 1: incredible to pay them. I do, I do. I think 397 00:17:54,108 --> 00:17:55,708 Speaker 1: he's gonna be everywhere. It's gonna be a wide receiver 398 00:17:55,748 --> 00:17:57,308 Speaker 1: a lot, and you'll get into it your segment, But like, 399 00:17:57,508 --> 00:17:59,268 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be everywhere. Yes, let me get 400 00:17:59,268 --> 00:18:01,668 Speaker 1: this straight. You just let us do all that work 401 00:18:01,748 --> 00:18:04,028 Speaker 1: coming up with all our answers, and you were just 402 00:18:04,068 --> 00:18:06,828 Speaker 1: sitting there on all your research and you're just gonna 403 00:18:06,908 --> 00:18:08,908 Speaker 1: lay the answer on us later in the show. Whenever 404 00:18:08,948 --> 00:18:11,068 Speaker 1: you talk about an offense or a defense, it's about 405 00:18:11,068 --> 00:18:13,868 Speaker 1: doing your one eleven. Everybody has a job on the 406 00:18:13,868 --> 00:18:16,668 Speaker 1: defensive officer side. We're here. I'm one fourth, I was 407 00:18:16,708 --> 00:18:19,228 Speaker 1: one fourth. We all put the work a one eleven. 408 00:18:19,348 --> 00:18:23,868 Speaker 1: My fourth may shine a little brighter than something. We're 409 00:18:23,908 --> 00:18:26,948 Speaker 1: still a team, you know, Yeah we are. It's time 410 00:18:27,028 --> 00:18:30,708 Speaker 1: for a training camp spotlight presented by Progressive Insurance. Jameis 411 00:18:30,708 --> 00:18:33,148 Speaker 1: Winston was having himself a nice season in twenty twenty 412 00:18:33,148 --> 00:18:35,508 Speaker 1: one before injury cut it short Week eight against the Books. 413 00:18:35,508 --> 00:18:38,988 Speaker 1: Winston said recently that he's fot feeling better every day, 414 00:18:39,148 --> 00:18:41,268 Speaker 1: but we're still not certain if Winston will start in 415 00:18:41,268 --> 00:18:44,548 Speaker 1: the Saints final preseason game tomorrow night against the Chargers. 416 00:18:44,588 --> 00:18:47,628 Speaker 1: Winston was certain though, when asked if this was the 417 00:18:47,668 --> 00:18:51,428 Speaker 1: most complete team he's ever been a part of. Oh, yeah, yeah, 418 00:18:51,468 --> 00:18:54,348 Speaker 1: I believe we got a lot of great pieces. Obviously, 419 00:18:54,388 --> 00:18:56,988 Speaker 1: I'll play with a tremendous talent at Tampa, but I 420 00:18:57,028 --> 00:18:59,468 Speaker 1: believe this this team has a lot of talent, and 421 00:18:59,508 --> 00:19:01,468 Speaker 1: I believe we can do some great things, but you know, 422 00:19:01,508 --> 00:19:04,028 Speaker 1: actually speak louder than words, and I'm pretty sure everyone 423 00:19:04,108 --> 00:19:06,308 Speaker 1: in the building would say that we want to do 424 00:19:06,348 --> 00:19:10,308 Speaker 1: while it's talking on the field, complete does the buzzword here? 425 00:19:10,388 --> 00:19:13,108 Speaker 1: How complete of a team are the New Orleans Saints. 426 00:19:13,308 --> 00:19:17,548 Speaker 1: Awesome defense led by new defensive head coach, awesome offensive line? 427 00:19:17,788 --> 00:19:19,388 Speaker 1: Is there an offense that can keep up with these 428 00:19:19,388 --> 00:19:21,508 Speaker 1: other NFC offenses? And then you look at the names 429 00:19:21,588 --> 00:19:24,028 Speaker 1: and it's like they've got a lot of playmakers. Take 430 00:19:24,068 --> 00:19:26,308 Speaker 1: a look at these playmakers that they have on this team. 431 00:19:26,348 --> 00:19:28,588 Speaker 1: Not only do they have Michael Thomas coming back, obviously 432 00:19:28,588 --> 00:19:30,468 Speaker 1: he's got a little injury now, but Chris Olave's a 433 00:19:30,508 --> 00:19:34,508 Speaker 1: rookie Camara when he's on the landry. I don't know. 434 00:19:34,588 --> 00:19:37,828 Speaker 1: It seems like a lot of good players, I'm gonna say, 435 00:19:37,908 --> 00:19:41,108 Speaker 1: but probably overlooking the Saints. And it goes without saying. 436 00:19:41,108 --> 00:19:43,068 Speaker 1: It's all gonna come down to that quarterback. And he's 437 00:19:43,108 --> 00:19:44,908 Speaker 1: got a way bigger arm than Drew Brees had the 438 00:19:44,948 --> 00:19:47,828 Speaker 1: last few years. I wouldn't be shocked. And I know 439 00:19:47,868 --> 00:19:49,588 Speaker 1: we laugh when we say that thing, like it's a 440 00:19:49,628 --> 00:19:51,148 Speaker 1: way to head your bed, but I wouldn't be shocked 441 00:19:51,148 --> 00:19:53,348 Speaker 1: at the Saints were relevant this season. That defense is 442 00:19:53,348 --> 00:19:54,828 Speaker 1: too good for them not to be in games late. 443 00:19:54,868 --> 00:19:56,268 Speaker 1: And they were in games late last year and they 444 00:19:56,268 --> 00:19:58,588 Speaker 1: had like Ian Book at quarterback down the stretch. Yeah, 445 00:19:58,588 --> 00:20:00,308 Speaker 1: and that's the exact point I want to make. Jamie 446 00:20:00,348 --> 00:20:02,308 Speaker 1: always says when you look at a team, they're not 447 00:20:02,348 --> 00:20:05,308 Speaker 1: going to be all out offense allowed defense, but you 448 00:20:05,348 --> 00:20:06,908 Speaker 1: need one side of all to be able to hold 449 00:20:06,908 --> 00:20:09,908 Speaker 1: it together. And this defense top ten defense. They found 450 00:20:09,908 --> 00:20:12,828 Speaker 1: a way to win nine games last year with four 451 00:20:12,988 --> 00:20:16,388 Speaker 1: different starting quarterbacks, which you just alluded to with Ian Book. 452 00:20:16,548 --> 00:20:18,948 Speaker 1: So yes, they have the defense that is can be 453 00:20:18,988 --> 00:20:20,828 Speaker 1: one of the best in the league that can carry 454 00:20:20,868 --> 00:20:23,468 Speaker 1: the team, and they have the weapons on offense. The 455 00:20:23,628 --> 00:20:26,508 Speaker 1: losses Sean Payton. Where does the offense go now with 456 00:20:26,628 --> 00:20:29,308 Speaker 1: Dennis Allen? Are they able to get the most out 457 00:20:29,348 --> 00:20:32,908 Speaker 1: of Jamis Winston to complete the overall roster? But there's 458 00:20:32,948 --> 00:20:35,268 Speaker 1: a ton of talent throwing throw on that roster there is, 459 00:20:35,268 --> 00:20:37,748 Speaker 1: And listen, maybe the most talented guy in their entire 460 00:20:37,788 --> 00:20:39,428 Speaker 1: team is Alvin Kamara. And we can't sit here and 461 00:20:39,468 --> 00:20:41,308 Speaker 1: assess them as a team without talking about what's going 462 00:20:41,308 --> 00:20:43,308 Speaker 1: on with Alvin Kamara. It's not a fun topic because 463 00:20:43,308 --> 00:20:45,388 Speaker 1: it's unsavory and it's murky, But the fact is that 464 00:20:45,428 --> 00:20:47,868 Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, back over Pro Bowl weekend, was arrested in 465 00:20:47,948 --> 00:20:51,228 Speaker 1: Las Vegas for an alleged incident involving violence. And there's 466 00:20:51,228 --> 00:20:52,668 Speaker 1: a lot of reports about what's going on in the 467 00:20:52,708 --> 00:20:54,908 Speaker 1: court system, and that they have a court date for 468 00:20:55,028 --> 00:20:56,988 Speaker 1: hearing that's been pushed back and pushed back, and if 469 00:20:57,028 --> 00:20:58,868 Speaker 1: there were to be NFL discipline, you have to wait 470 00:20:58,908 --> 00:21:01,228 Speaker 1: till after the court hearings and it's all just held 471 00:21:01,308 --> 00:21:03,588 Speaker 1: up and maybe it comes during the season, maybe it doesn't. 472 00:21:03,628 --> 00:21:06,308 Speaker 1: Fact is there's a viable chance that the best player 473 00:21:06,308 --> 00:21:08,788 Speaker 1: in their team might be suspended for who knows how 474 00:21:08,828 --> 00:21:11,548 Speaker 1: many games. It's a pretty pertinent part of this conversation. 475 00:21:11,628 --> 00:21:14,028 Speaker 1: They are a different offense without album Kamara, especially when 476 00:21:14,028 --> 00:21:16,148 Speaker 1: you're gonna ask Jamis to do more. So I don't 477 00:21:16,188 --> 00:21:18,588 Speaker 1: like talking about it either, but it's incredibly relevant if 478 00:21:18,588 --> 00:21:20,708 Speaker 1: you start to say can they win the South? Pay 479 00:21:20,708 --> 00:21:22,948 Speaker 1: attention when the developments come out with Alvin Kamara. I 480 00:21:23,388 --> 00:21:24,908 Speaker 1: love him as a player and I hope this thing 481 00:21:24,988 --> 00:21:26,828 Speaker 1: ends well, but I don't know, and neither do you. 482 00:21:26,988 --> 00:21:30,028 Speaker 1: Absolutely a huge factor, especial you just said it without 483 00:21:30,068 --> 00:21:32,908 Speaker 1: album Kamara. Then Jameis Winston has become a different quarterback 484 00:21:32,948 --> 00:21:35,708 Speaker 1: and we've seen him have growth. We've seen him improve 485 00:21:36,028 --> 00:21:38,748 Speaker 1: with this Saints team. But he mentioned it in his answer. 486 00:21:39,028 --> 00:21:41,028 Speaker 1: Another complete team that he played on was that twenty 487 00:21:41,108 --> 00:21:44,148 Speaker 1: nineteen Tampa Bay team. You've got Mike Evans, Chris Godwin. 488 00:21:44,188 --> 00:21:46,788 Speaker 1: I'm sorry the names that Tom Brady came in and 489 00:21:46,948 --> 00:21:49,788 Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl with the very next year. This 490 00:21:49,908 --> 00:21:52,908 Speaker 1: was a hard year for Jameis Winston. Clearly he wasn't 491 00:21:52,988 --> 00:21:56,068 Speaker 1: the key to make this Tampa Bay team a complete fit. 492 00:21:56,388 --> 00:21:58,908 Speaker 1: We have seen growth from him since he has arrived 493 00:21:58,948 --> 00:22:01,988 Speaker 1: in the SATs with the Saints, and sometimes it's puzzle 494 00:22:02,068 --> 00:22:05,148 Speaker 1: pieces things fit differently. Maybe he's the answer here that 495 00:22:05,228 --> 00:22:07,308 Speaker 1: the same seedon more than the Bucks, and Tom Brady 496 00:22:07,428 --> 00:22:09,148 Speaker 1: was just a better fit. I hope that for them 497 00:22:09,148 --> 00:22:11,108 Speaker 1: because as far as I know, they are one of 498 00:22:11,148 --> 00:22:14,308 Speaker 1: the most complete teams except for that quarterback position. Is 499 00:22:14,348 --> 00:22:17,268 Speaker 1: he the puzzle piece of thing? I agree Jason quickly. 500 00:22:17,308 --> 00:22:18,988 Speaker 1: You know what a players around the league on defense 501 00:22:19,068 --> 00:22:21,028 Speaker 1: say about jamis what's the reputation on the field. I mean, 502 00:22:21,068 --> 00:22:22,748 Speaker 1: you know, his arm strength, you know his talent the 503 00:22:22,868 --> 00:22:24,868 Speaker 1: year you just talked about in twenty nineteen, I mean 504 00:22:25,028 --> 00:22:27,348 Speaker 1: he was incredible. A ton of yards. Godwin and Mike 505 00:22:27,348 --> 00:22:29,988 Speaker 1: Evans both had a thousand yards. We had a ton 506 00:22:30,028 --> 00:22:33,708 Speaker 1: of intercept thirty interception. You can get thirty for thirty. 507 00:22:33,868 --> 00:22:35,628 Speaker 1: So the thing is, it's like you love him as 508 00:22:35,628 --> 00:22:37,108 Speaker 1: a player to talent, but it's like you don't know 509 00:22:37,148 --> 00:22:39,228 Speaker 1: what you're gonna get every Sunday. All right, coming up 510 00:22:39,228 --> 00:22:41,388 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hills Tound Eggs, two of the best receivers in 511 00:22:41,428 --> 00:22:43,148 Speaker 1: the game. Who's going to have the better season in 512 00:22:43,188 --> 00:23:02,948 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two? Throw Down Thursday coming your ways. Time 513 00:23:02,988 --> 00:23:09,268 Speaker 1: for throwing road Down Thursday presented by Eyehop. Oh yeah yeah, 514 00:23:09,268 --> 00:23:12,508 Speaker 1: I presented by Eehall Exactly you always got the Hops. 515 00:23:12,788 --> 00:23:15,428 Speaker 1: Dolphins quarterback to a Tunkle Viola. He was asked what 516 00:23:15,548 --> 00:23:18,828 Speaker 1: felt different for him about this training camp compared to others. 517 00:23:20,228 --> 00:23:24,468 Speaker 1: I don't know everything. Everything offense is different. The confidence 518 00:23:24,628 --> 00:23:26,988 Speaker 1: that the guys have coming out to practice is different. 519 00:23:27,268 --> 00:23:29,908 Speaker 1: The confidence that the guys have coming into the building 520 00:23:29,988 --> 00:23:32,148 Speaker 1: is different. You know, the way we do things around 521 00:23:32,148 --> 00:23:35,268 Speaker 1: the building is different. Just everything. I can't necessarily point 522 00:23:35,268 --> 00:23:37,708 Speaker 1: to one thing and I think that's what's gonna help 523 00:23:37,828 --> 00:23:40,988 Speaker 1: make us a better team. Is us spending more time 524 00:23:41,028 --> 00:23:43,228 Speaker 1: with each other, not just in the building, but outside 525 00:23:43,228 --> 00:23:45,108 Speaker 1: the building. And we'll see where where this thing goes 526 00:23:45,108 --> 00:23:47,788 Speaker 1: for us. Can't wait to see him play. Of course, 527 00:23:47,868 --> 00:23:50,588 Speaker 1: one of the biggest differences this season for two is 528 00:23:50,588 --> 00:23:53,228 Speaker 1: that he has Tyreek Hill to throw too. So let's 529 00:23:53,228 --> 00:23:56,028 Speaker 1: pair off a pair of exceptional wide receivers in the AFC. 530 00:23:56,188 --> 00:23:58,988 Speaker 1: If you get there, we will have more receiving yards 531 00:23:59,188 --> 00:24:01,908 Speaker 1: in our throwdown Thursday in twenty twenty two, Tyreek Hill 532 00:24:02,268 --> 00:24:05,668 Speaker 1: or one Stefan Dick. There's this feeling that Tyreek Hill 533 00:24:05,948 --> 00:24:08,308 Speaker 1: is this deep threat and you throw the ball as 534 00:24:08,348 --> 00:24:10,268 Speaker 1: far as you can, and Mahomes would throw to him 535 00:24:10,268 --> 00:24:12,028 Speaker 1: seventy yards and that's where he got all his points. 536 00:24:12,068 --> 00:24:14,308 Speaker 1: He did do that sometimes, but Tyreek Hill is so 537 00:24:14,388 --> 00:24:17,148 Speaker 1: dangerous after the catch, and Tua is so good in 538 00:24:17,188 --> 00:24:19,348 Speaker 1: that ten to twenty yard range. I look at some 539 00:24:19,388 --> 00:24:21,868 Speaker 1: footage here from the Mahomes era with Tyreek and I 540 00:24:21,868 --> 00:24:24,668 Speaker 1: go back. I go back to maybe mahomes first game 541 00:24:24,788 --> 00:24:27,268 Speaker 1: as a full time starter. Tyreek takes it here at 542 00:24:27,268 --> 00:24:30,908 Speaker 1: the fifteen slant route and he's gone and he say, okay, 543 00:24:30,908 --> 00:24:32,948 Speaker 1: well that was all the way back in twenty eighteen. 544 00:24:32,988 --> 00:24:35,988 Speaker 1: How did the last time that we saw Tyreek Hill 545 00:24:35,988 --> 00:24:37,828 Speaker 1: make a big play like this in a big game? 546 00:24:38,228 --> 00:24:40,428 Speaker 1: It was the AFC Division around and this is obviously 547 00:24:40,428 --> 00:24:44,148 Speaker 1: with thirteen seconds left. Tyreekt the same exact play about 548 00:24:44,708 --> 00:24:46,788 Speaker 1: and this was three years later. I think I think 549 00:24:46,788 --> 00:24:49,228 Speaker 1: Tua can make that throat. Tyreek does all his stuff 550 00:24:50,068 --> 00:24:53,668 Speaker 1: in so many ways, but the yap yards the yac 551 00:24:54,028 --> 00:24:56,508 Speaker 1: is where I see it, and I still feel like 552 00:24:56,788 --> 00:24:58,788 Speaker 1: I don't care who's throwing him the ball. Tyreek Hill's 553 00:24:58,828 --> 00:25:01,268 Speaker 1: gonna get his stefon. Digg's gonna have a great season. 554 00:25:01,588 --> 00:25:03,588 Speaker 1: Gabe Davis is coming on there. I'm not sure I 555 00:25:03,628 --> 00:25:06,348 Speaker 1: can see him have agains many yards. I've got Tyreek Hill. 556 00:25:06,628 --> 00:25:09,468 Speaker 1: Though everyone's taking Diggs hire in fantasy. I think Tyreek 557 00:25:09,508 --> 00:25:11,788 Speaker 1: Hill has more yards than Diggs this season. That's why 558 00:25:11,828 --> 00:25:14,028 Speaker 1: I think Diggs is gonna have more because Gabe Davis 559 00:25:14,068 --> 00:25:16,508 Speaker 1: is coming on. I think Diggs more board looks. However, 560 00:25:16,588 --> 00:25:19,508 Speaker 1: I have a mix up here. I think Tyreek Hill 561 00:25:19,548 --> 00:25:21,508 Speaker 1: is gonna have more total yards because I think he's 562 00:25:21,508 --> 00:25:23,268 Speaker 1: gonna have rushing yards this year, and I think Mike 563 00:25:23,308 --> 00:25:27,028 Speaker 1: McDaniel's gonna get him on these little reverse backflips inside handoffs. You. 564 00:25:27,108 --> 00:25:29,028 Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a lot of creativity with Hill, 565 00:25:29,308 --> 00:25:33,068 Speaker 1: including handing him the ball pure receiving the answer. Stefan Diggs, 566 00:25:33,068 --> 00:25:35,188 Speaker 1: He's still the truth. But I think total yards from 567 00:25:35,228 --> 00:25:37,428 Speaker 1: scrimmage will be Tyreek is gonna get balls great away. 568 00:25:37,588 --> 00:25:39,828 Speaker 1: Yeah from me, I'm going with Stefan Diggs as well. 569 00:25:39,868 --> 00:25:43,028 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill coming over from Kansas City and Missouri to 570 00:25:43,108 --> 00:25:45,548 Speaker 1: show me state. We're still waiting to see two on 571 00:25:45,708 --> 00:25:49,308 Speaker 1: Tyreek show us well. Josh Allen and Stefan Diggs have 572 00:25:49,468 --> 00:25:51,908 Speaker 1: shown us for the past two seasons, two hundred and 573 00:25:51,948 --> 00:25:56,108 Speaker 1: thirty catches, almost three thousand yards, eighteen touchdowns. They've done it. 574 00:25:56,468 --> 00:25:58,388 Speaker 1: The poof is in the pudding, like I just said, 575 00:25:58,588 --> 00:26:02,228 Speaker 1: So for me, I love Miami getting Tyree Hill, and 576 00:26:02,308 --> 00:26:04,388 Speaker 1: like you just mentioned, hey, Gabe Davis is on ball. 577 00:26:05,068 --> 00:26:07,548 Speaker 1: Jayleen Waddle, a guy who had a ton of receptions 578 00:26:07,588 --> 00:26:10,188 Speaker 1: last year because still with Miami, and you're still gonna 579 00:26:10,228 --> 00:26:12,148 Speaker 1: want to get the ball to him as well. So 580 00:26:12,188 --> 00:26:15,308 Speaker 1: I think Miami's offense is going to be built around 581 00:26:15,588 --> 00:26:17,948 Speaker 1: running the ball and play action, but the focus will 582 00:26:18,028 --> 00:26:20,868 Speaker 1: be running the ball in that offensive line. The Buffalo 583 00:26:20,988 --> 00:26:23,828 Speaker 1: Bills offense is centered around Josh Allen. Light him up. 584 00:26:23,908 --> 00:26:26,308 Speaker 1: Josh Allen wrote, the ball all over the fields, rip, 585 00:26:26,388 --> 00:26:28,828 Speaker 1: run around, let it go. And like you said, Gabe 586 00:26:28,908 --> 00:26:31,908 Speaker 1: Davis coming on, Stefan Diggs sees a lot of double teams, 587 00:26:31,988 --> 00:26:34,828 Speaker 1: a lot of safety shaded to his side. Another receiver 588 00:26:34,948 --> 00:26:37,348 Speaker 1: coming off forces a team. Hey, if you just leave 589 00:26:37,428 --> 00:26:39,948 Speaker 1: Gabe Davis over there all by himself, he can expose 590 00:26:39,988 --> 00:26:42,028 Speaker 1: your number two corners. So you may have to let 591 00:26:42,068 --> 00:26:44,188 Speaker 1: that safety play in the middle well to open stuff 592 00:26:44,268 --> 00:26:46,308 Speaker 1: up for Stefan Diggs. Like Kyle just Loud, I could 593 00:26:46,388 --> 00:26:49,788 Speaker 1: not agree more with you. Addition by addition for Stefan Diggs, 594 00:26:49,788 --> 00:26:53,148 Speaker 1: the fact that gave Davis can now distract take away 595 00:26:53,268 --> 00:26:55,748 Speaker 1: from Diggs is gonna eat and he's gonna have more 596 00:26:55,828 --> 00:26:59,108 Speaker 1: yards than Tyree Hill is this season. In that Bills offense, 597 00:26:59,308 --> 00:27:01,908 Speaker 1: the run game is better for Buffalo. It's all going 598 00:27:01,948 --> 00:27:04,788 Speaker 1: to help Stefon Diggs. Jalen Waddle not only is he 599 00:27:05,108 --> 00:27:07,468 Speaker 1: going to help Tyree Kill. Sure, maybe get open looks, 600 00:27:07,588 --> 00:27:10,428 Speaker 1: but we don't forget two A toun biolo on Jail 601 00:27:10,428 --> 00:27:12,948 Speaker 1: and Waddle. They have that special connection from college. If 602 00:27:12,948 --> 00:27:15,428 Speaker 1: he is in trouble, it's gonna be Wattle he looks for. 603 00:27:15,588 --> 00:27:17,988 Speaker 1: He is still working on his chemistry with Tyreek Kill. 604 00:27:18,148 --> 00:27:20,628 Speaker 1: They haven't had the preseason reps. That's the big question. 605 00:27:20,668 --> 00:27:22,628 Speaker 1: Who is he gonna look for? Look for? Look for? 606 00:27:22,708 --> 00:27:25,068 Speaker 1: It's gonna be Wattle. He's this guy. So in terms 607 00:27:25,108 --> 00:27:27,788 Speaker 1: of how that affects yardage, I just think Sefonds is 608 00:27:27,788 --> 00:27:30,388 Speaker 1: the answer here. We're now joined by a Super Bowl 609 00:27:30,428 --> 00:27:33,228 Speaker 1: forty four champion who played nine seasons in the NFL. 610 00:27:33,268 --> 00:27:35,748 Speaker 1: One of the best offensive tackles in football, he once 611 00:27:35,788 --> 00:27:38,708 Speaker 1: played seven thousand, eight hundred and ninety four executive snaps 612 00:27:39,188 --> 00:27:42,148 Speaker 1: an All Pro selection in an All Pro Guy. Please 613 00:27:42,148 --> 00:27:48,828 Speaker 1: welcome former Browns and Chief's offensive lineman Mitchell Schwartz. Yes, 614 00:27:49,708 --> 00:27:51,508 Speaker 1: welcome to the breakfast table. We've had you on as 615 00:27:51,548 --> 00:27:53,788 Speaker 1: a guest. Now you're here in person. You announced your 616 00:27:53,828 --> 00:27:57,028 Speaker 1: retirement just over a month ago. It's been about thirty days. 617 00:27:57,308 --> 00:27:59,188 Speaker 1: You're in New York City. How are you feeling, What 618 00:27:59,228 --> 00:28:01,708 Speaker 1: are you up to? How's the body and how's the life? 619 00:28:01,788 --> 00:28:05,748 Speaker 1: The wife is awesome. Turns out retiring it's great. August. 620 00:28:05,788 --> 00:28:09,028 Speaker 1: There a lot better without football, and I can just 621 00:28:09,308 --> 00:28:11,148 Speaker 1: kind of watch them and have my own fun. And 622 00:28:11,188 --> 00:28:12,908 Speaker 1: I can travel, I can see you guys. I can 623 00:28:13,148 --> 00:28:15,108 Speaker 1: go eat a bunch of really good food and do 624 00:28:15,148 --> 00:28:16,748 Speaker 1: all the things I want to do without the stress 625 00:28:16,748 --> 00:28:20,108 Speaker 1: of football. So all that's awesome. Mentally, I was ready 626 00:28:20,228 --> 00:28:22,908 Speaker 1: physically didn't really allow me the chance to continue, So 627 00:28:22,948 --> 00:28:24,348 Speaker 1: it was definitely the smart thing. I mean, I had 628 00:28:24,388 --> 00:28:26,628 Speaker 1: a back surgery in college. I had one two years ago. 629 00:28:26,668 --> 00:28:28,988 Speaker 1: Now I guess last year. It seems like it's forever, 630 00:28:29,268 --> 00:28:31,988 Speaker 1: and I just didn't want surgery number three. And I'm 631 00:28:32,028 --> 00:28:34,268 Speaker 1: still not one hundred percent healthy from the nerve stuff, 632 00:28:34,308 --> 00:28:36,628 Speaker 1: so it made sense to just hanging up and worried 633 00:28:36,628 --> 00:28:38,988 Speaker 1: about quality of life when I'm put sixty all those things. 634 00:28:38,988 --> 00:28:41,228 Speaker 1: So feel great about it though. It's been awesome. Yeah, Smart, 635 00:28:41,388 --> 00:28:43,068 Speaker 1: We're thrilled to have you here. You know, because of 636 00:28:43,108 --> 00:28:45,668 Speaker 1: the show, We've gotten to become friendly with a Chief 637 00:28:45,748 --> 00:28:48,788 Speaker 1: super fan, Paul Rudd, this aunt man, and I remember 638 00:28:48,788 --> 00:28:50,148 Speaker 1: he was telling us a story once so that he 639 00:28:50,188 --> 00:28:52,548 Speaker 1: and his son Jack were walking around and Jack looked 640 00:28:52,588 --> 00:28:54,508 Speaker 1: at his phone and said, oh my god, Tyreek Hill 641 00:28:54,588 --> 00:28:56,228 Speaker 1: is gone. He's not on the Chiefs anymore. And they 642 00:28:56,268 --> 00:28:58,068 Speaker 1: were freaking out. I think a little bit scared. It 643 00:28:58,108 --> 00:29:00,508 Speaker 1: was a crazy lightning bolt across the league. As a 644 00:29:00,548 --> 00:29:02,668 Speaker 1: guy who played with him, who knows what he means 645 00:29:02,708 --> 00:29:05,028 Speaker 1: the offense, knows his talents. What do you say in 646 00:29:05,108 --> 00:29:07,268 Speaker 1: reactions to Tyreek is gone from the Chiefs and what 647 00:29:07,348 --> 00:29:08,788 Speaker 1: is the offense going to look like when impact does 648 00:29:08,828 --> 00:29:10,828 Speaker 1: it have? I had the same reaction. So we were 649 00:29:10,868 --> 00:29:13,548 Speaker 1: in Ireland at the time. A former teammate was getting married. 650 00:29:13,588 --> 00:29:17,068 Speaker 1: Actually ran into Paul Rudd in Ireland's true he was 651 00:29:17,108 --> 00:29:19,308 Speaker 1: the one that saw Matan goes hey, Mitch, and he 652 00:29:19,428 --> 00:29:22,348 Speaker 1: like ran up to me and said, Hi, I don't know, 653 00:29:22,748 --> 00:29:24,388 Speaker 1: I do remember he did? I think he said he 654 00:29:24,428 --> 00:29:26,268 Speaker 1: was in Ireland when he found out. So yeah, So 655 00:29:26,348 --> 00:29:28,508 Speaker 1: we were both in Ireland and then at each other 656 00:29:28,548 --> 00:29:32,348 Speaker 1: at the same hotel in Ireland and same response. I 657 00:29:32,388 --> 00:29:34,548 Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, they're creating Tyreek. Yeah, you 658 00:29:34,628 --> 00:29:36,828 Speaker 1: think about it, you digested, you realize the market for 659 00:29:36,828 --> 00:29:40,028 Speaker 1: wide receivers. You're paying Pad, you're paying Kelsey, you're paying 660 00:29:40,068 --> 00:29:42,268 Speaker 1: Chris Jones, and you kind of start to realize why 661 00:29:42,268 --> 00:29:44,108 Speaker 1: it happened. It's obviously a blow to the offense. I 662 00:29:44,148 --> 00:29:46,548 Speaker 1: mean you can't replace Tyreek with one person. There's only 663 00:29:46,588 --> 00:29:48,508 Speaker 1: one Tyreek. I'd like to think that they have kind 664 00:29:48,508 --> 00:29:50,428 Speaker 1: of the plethora of receivers. Now, I don't know what 665 00:29:50,468 --> 00:29:52,348 Speaker 1: you guys always thought, you know, would you rather have, 666 00:29:52,548 --> 00:29:54,468 Speaker 1: you know, kind of five solid guys across the board 667 00:29:54,508 --> 00:29:56,708 Speaker 1: or is it easier to take away one dominant guy. 668 00:29:56,788 --> 00:29:58,948 Speaker 1: But I think the offense can be more well rounded. Obviously, 669 00:29:59,028 --> 00:30:00,868 Speaker 1: last year the whole two high discussion need to run 670 00:30:00,908 --> 00:30:02,948 Speaker 1: the ball a little more efficiently, so maybe they're able 671 00:30:02,988 --> 00:30:04,588 Speaker 1: to lean into that a bit more. But it's not 672 00:30:04,628 --> 00:30:06,788 Speaker 1: like the receiver room isn't stacked. They still got Mvs, 673 00:30:06,828 --> 00:30:09,668 Speaker 1: they got Juju, they got Nicole, they got Kelsey obviously, 674 00:30:09,748 --> 00:30:11,548 Speaker 1: and they got some other guys. So the offense is 675 00:30:11,548 --> 00:30:13,508 Speaker 1: going to be good. And then obviously Miami gets a 676 00:30:13,508 --> 00:30:16,428 Speaker 1: pretty big addition themselves. Absolutely, I love what you've brought 677 00:30:16,468 --> 00:30:18,108 Speaker 1: so far. But now we want to pick your brain. 678 00:30:18,188 --> 00:30:20,468 Speaker 1: We got some concerning news this morning for the Cowboys. 679 00:30:20,628 --> 00:30:24,668 Speaker 1: Their tackle Tyron Smith hamstring injury a practice yesterday. According 680 00:30:24,668 --> 00:30:27,348 Speaker 1: to our own Ian Rappaport, he could be out until December. 681 00:30:27,388 --> 00:30:30,748 Speaker 1: There's a ton of expectations in Dallas, So what do 682 00:30:30,788 --> 00:30:32,868 Speaker 1: you make of the Cowboys offense. Now, how do you 683 00:30:33,028 --> 00:30:35,868 Speaker 1: how do you overcome a loss like this? It's difficult, 684 00:30:35,868 --> 00:30:38,628 Speaker 1: and that's been the challenge with Dallas the last few years. Unfortunately, 685 00:30:38,708 --> 00:30:41,588 Speaker 1: Tyron hasn't been as healthy as he'd like, and their 686 00:30:41,628 --> 00:30:43,548 Speaker 1: stats with him on the field versus off the field 687 00:30:43,548 --> 00:30:46,628 Speaker 1: are stark. And it's always been, you know, pretty apparent 688 00:30:46,668 --> 00:30:48,988 Speaker 1: how much he means the offensive line. And so they 689 00:30:49,028 --> 00:30:51,708 Speaker 1: drafted Tyler Smith and potentially he's been at left guard 690 00:30:51,788 --> 00:30:53,548 Speaker 1: right now, maybe you could kick him out to left tackle. 691 00:30:54,028 --> 00:30:55,748 Speaker 1: I mean, Terren Steele has done a pretty good job 692 00:30:55,828 --> 00:30:58,108 Speaker 1: right tackle that let lyle go knowing that he'd light 693 00:30:58,188 --> 00:30:59,828 Speaker 1: in there. He hasn't played quite as well on the 694 00:30:59,908 --> 00:31:03,748 Speaker 1: left side. Zach Martin theoretically could play left tackle, but 695 00:31:04,028 --> 00:31:06,308 Speaker 1: I mean, when you've played ten years at guard and 696 00:31:06,348 --> 00:31:08,468 Speaker 1: you're kicking out to the opposite side, it's it's a 697 00:31:08,468 --> 00:31:10,308 Speaker 1: lot more difficult to flip sides and it would be 698 00:31:10,308 --> 00:31:12,108 Speaker 1: to go from right guard to right tackle. So I 699 00:31:12,108 --> 00:31:14,548 Speaker 1: think you just try to find someone, whether it's the rookie, 700 00:31:14,628 --> 00:31:16,748 Speaker 1: whether it's someone else. I mean, there's still a couple 701 00:31:16,708 --> 00:31:18,588 Speaker 1: of guys on the free agent market they could potentially 702 00:31:18,628 --> 00:31:20,788 Speaker 1: look into but at this point, this late in the year, 703 00:31:20,948 --> 00:31:23,188 Speaker 1: and with Tyrant's history, yeah, I think you can't really 704 00:31:23,188 --> 00:31:25,668 Speaker 1: bank on him being healthy even in December, which is 705 00:31:25,668 --> 00:31:28,068 Speaker 1: really disappointing because we all want to see kind of 706 00:31:28,068 --> 00:31:30,268 Speaker 1: like that full dak unleash sheet for the full year, 707 00:31:30,348 --> 00:31:33,428 Speaker 1: have the whole supporting cast. And it's really a bumber, 708 00:31:33,508 --> 00:31:35,548 Speaker 1: especially for Tiring, because I mean, when he's right, there's 709 00:31:35,588 --> 00:31:38,668 Speaker 1: no one like him. He's just different. Like he's six 710 00:31:38,748 --> 00:31:40,788 Speaker 1: six three or five. He's like cut up, he's like 711 00:31:40,828 --> 00:31:43,348 Speaker 1: ten percent body fat. It looks like an alien out there. 712 00:31:43,348 --> 00:31:45,548 Speaker 1: He just lost his up. It's it's awesome to watch. 713 00:31:45,588 --> 00:31:47,628 Speaker 1: And the guy who doesn't have a similar body to that, 714 00:31:47,708 --> 00:31:49,628 Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun for me to dream what 715 00:31:49,788 --> 00:31:52,228 Speaker 1: life would be in that kind of body. I love 716 00:31:52,228 --> 00:31:54,148 Speaker 1: what you said. Just a lot of people kind of 717 00:31:54,188 --> 00:31:56,308 Speaker 1: take the offensive line for granted, Oh he just moved 718 00:31:56,348 --> 00:31:58,628 Speaker 1: this guy here and moved this guy there, switching across. 719 00:31:59,228 --> 00:32:01,228 Speaker 1: It's a lot tougher than it looks. And another team 720 00:32:01,308 --> 00:32:03,828 Speaker 1: that I was dealing with offensive line injuries or the books. 721 00:32:03,868 --> 00:32:06,708 Speaker 1: And since Brady's been there, they've been on fire, want 722 00:32:06,708 --> 00:32:10,068 Speaker 1: a super Bowl, gone deep into playoffs. But now dealing 723 00:32:10,108 --> 00:32:12,188 Speaker 1: with this. Do you think they're still able to come 724 00:32:12,188 --> 00:32:15,308 Speaker 1: out of the NFC with all the those injuries up front? Yeah, 725 00:32:15,348 --> 00:32:18,068 Speaker 1: I mean it's difficult. I'm very aware. They want a 726 00:32:18,108 --> 00:32:20,588 Speaker 1: Super Bowl and I like the big careers, and we 727 00:32:20,628 --> 00:32:23,028 Speaker 1: lost it because we didn't have her there. We don't know, 728 00:32:23,708 --> 00:32:25,708 Speaker 1: I know, we were down a bunch of offensive line. 729 00:32:26,588 --> 00:32:29,108 Speaker 1: I definitely understand. And with Brady, I mean the rap 730 00:32:29,148 --> 00:32:30,988 Speaker 1: on him has always been, you know, pressure up the middle, 731 00:32:30,988 --> 00:32:32,828 Speaker 1: getting into his face as quick as possible. You know, 732 00:32:32,908 --> 00:32:35,548 Speaker 1: he's he can navigate within the pocket extremely well. I 733 00:32:35,548 --> 00:32:37,748 Speaker 1: think he doesn't get enough credit for that. Everyone thinks like, oh, 734 00:32:37,748 --> 00:32:39,548 Speaker 1: he's just a statue who stays where he is, But 735 00:32:39,588 --> 00:32:41,668 Speaker 1: he does move right to left within the pocket really well. 736 00:32:41,868 --> 00:32:43,988 Speaker 1: But still that pressure up the middle. I mean he 737 00:32:44,148 --> 00:32:46,028 Speaker 1: is forty four forty five now you just don't want 738 00:32:46,028 --> 00:32:49,588 Speaker 1: to take huge hits. And that's where all the injuries 739 00:32:49,628 --> 00:32:51,228 Speaker 1: are happening. So they still got worse. They still got 740 00:32:51,268 --> 00:32:53,948 Speaker 1: Donovan Smith. The edges are going to be solidified, and 741 00:32:54,068 --> 00:32:56,148 Speaker 1: you'd like to think just let those guys work kind 742 00:32:56,188 --> 00:32:57,868 Speaker 1: of two on three or three on two in the 743 00:32:57,868 --> 00:33:00,628 Speaker 1: middle solidify it. But once the injury start piling up. 744 00:33:00,628 --> 00:33:02,988 Speaker 1: It's difficult, and you can say, oh, we've got eight 745 00:33:03,068 --> 00:33:04,948 Speaker 1: quality guys on the other line, and now all of 746 00:33:04,988 --> 00:33:07,588 Speaker 1: a sudden, you have five quality guys and like one injury, 747 00:33:07,628 --> 00:33:09,268 Speaker 1: and now you're looking into guys who would have been 748 00:33:09,428 --> 00:33:11,668 Speaker 1: practice squad, would have been on a different team or 749 00:33:11,708 --> 00:33:14,268 Speaker 1: not making training camp, and it gets pretty tough. And 750 00:33:14,428 --> 00:33:16,348 Speaker 1: you know, Brady does have the super quick release, you know, 751 00:33:16,468 --> 00:33:17,828 Speaker 1: sort of go with the ball, all those things, but 752 00:33:17,868 --> 00:33:20,108 Speaker 1: you can only mitigate it for so long and eventually, 753 00:33:20,308 --> 00:33:22,228 Speaker 1: you know, all it takes is being down ten to 754 00:33:22,308 --> 00:33:24,028 Speaker 1: the rams and the playoffs and we got to come 755 00:33:24,028 --> 00:33:25,988 Speaker 1: back and it's a two minute drill and you can't 756 00:33:25,988 --> 00:33:27,988 Speaker 1: rely on the super quick process thing, like you got 757 00:33:27,988 --> 00:33:29,388 Speaker 1: to wait for a guy to get open then extra 758 00:33:29,468 --> 00:33:32,548 Speaker 1: tick and that's when things break down. And so it's 759 00:33:32,548 --> 00:33:34,268 Speaker 1: going to be challenging. Now. The good thing with the 760 00:33:34,348 --> 00:33:37,228 Speaker 1: NFL seasons, you guys know, like the injuries early in 761 00:33:37,268 --> 00:33:39,668 Speaker 1: the year aren't quite as impactful, Like you can ride 762 00:33:39,668 --> 00:33:42,028 Speaker 1: out of four and four, get hot, get healthy for 763 00:33:42,068 --> 00:33:44,788 Speaker 1: the playoffs, and you know, good things happen. So I 764 00:33:44,788 --> 00:33:46,908 Speaker 1: would imagine that's kind of where their goal is just 765 00:33:47,028 --> 00:33:49,788 Speaker 1: kind of stay afloat as long as possible, get quality depth, 766 00:33:50,108 --> 00:33:52,068 Speaker 1: and then get as healthy as they can for that 767 00:33:52,068 --> 00:33:54,908 Speaker 1: playoff run. You guys were such a unit when you 768 00:33:54,948 --> 00:33:57,428 Speaker 1: were there in Kansas City. And then you leave, obviously 769 00:33:57,548 --> 00:33:59,828 Speaker 1: Eric Fishers no longer there, and then they draft a 770 00:33:59,828 --> 00:34:01,668 Speaker 1: second rounder and a six rounder, and immediately these guys 771 00:34:01,668 --> 00:34:03,948 Speaker 1: are going to can the way that we talk about 772 00:34:03,988 --> 00:34:06,388 Speaker 1: create free and we talk about Trey Smith. I know 773 00:34:06,468 --> 00:34:08,388 Speaker 1: you watched the Chiefs and I know there might be 774 00:34:08,428 --> 00:34:11,508 Speaker 1: some heart strings about hey, well what about talk about 775 00:34:11,548 --> 00:34:13,148 Speaker 1: these two guys in their second year and just how 776 00:34:13,148 --> 00:34:15,668 Speaker 1: good they were and when you do it objectively, when 777 00:34:15,668 --> 00:34:18,588 Speaker 1: you analyze how good can they be? Tray Smith and 778 00:34:18,708 --> 00:34:21,388 Speaker 1: Creed Humphrey, Oh awesome. Creed I think right now is 779 00:34:21,388 --> 00:34:23,828 Speaker 1: a little more consistent, especially running in past. He does 780 00:34:23,828 --> 00:34:26,268 Speaker 1: both at a really high level. Trey is just that 781 00:34:26,388 --> 00:34:28,948 Speaker 1: Muller inside. He's the physical presence. You know. My last 782 00:34:29,028 --> 00:34:32,068 Speaker 1: year we signed colletchi Assembly, who you know, kind of 783 00:34:32,108 --> 00:34:33,508 Speaker 1: had the rep is being the baddest dude in the 784 00:34:33,548 --> 00:34:36,268 Speaker 1: NFL because we needed that. You know, I don't necessarily 785 00:34:36,308 --> 00:34:40,148 Speaker 1: bring that to the line. Does that bring I don't 786 00:34:40,148 --> 00:34:45,068 Speaker 1: bring what Kao brings up real muscles on. But I'm 787 00:34:45,108 --> 00:34:46,948 Speaker 1: not like the enforcer, the guy you kind of need 788 00:34:46,948 --> 00:34:50,788 Speaker 1: to set the tempo up. That's Trade, man. It's gonna 789 00:34:50,788 --> 00:34:52,508 Speaker 1: be a guard. It can't be a tackle. We got 790 00:34:52,508 --> 00:34:55,188 Speaker 1: too much dance I'm to do out there. So you know, 791 00:34:55,228 --> 00:34:57,268 Speaker 1: that's what Trade brings. Like he sets the tempo. He 792 00:34:57,308 --> 00:34:59,468 Speaker 1: holds everyone accountable, even as a young guy. And like 793 00:34:59,468 --> 00:35:02,788 Speaker 1: when you see one guy being that physical, being that dominant, 794 00:35:02,868 --> 00:35:05,068 Speaker 1: like finishing that hard, you don't want to be the 795 00:35:05,068 --> 00:35:06,988 Speaker 1: guy that looks like he's slacking off. So it brings 796 00:35:07,068 --> 00:35:08,668 Speaker 1: up the level and say that about it, rookie, it's 797 00:35:08,668 --> 00:35:11,268 Speaker 1: pretty crazy. So yeah, those two guys, you solidify the middle, 798 00:35:11,308 --> 00:35:13,428 Speaker 1: You get the physicality, you get the smart center who 799 00:35:13,428 --> 00:35:15,828 Speaker 1: can direct everything and take some off of Pat's played 800 00:35:15,868 --> 00:35:18,748 Speaker 1: a little bit. And obviously EARLANDA Brown, I think right 801 00:35:18,748 --> 00:35:20,908 Speaker 1: tackle is gonna be good with Wiley or when Lucas 802 00:35:20,948 --> 00:35:23,388 Speaker 1: gets healthy as well. Obviously Tuny left guards to study 803 00:35:23,388 --> 00:35:26,988 Speaker 1: as they come double back, double back to Kansas. Oh yeah, 804 00:35:27,068 --> 00:35:29,788 Speaker 1: so the old line's looking awesome and objectively they are 805 00:35:29,828 --> 00:35:31,988 Speaker 1: two excellent players. And we'll wait a few years on 806 00:35:31,988 --> 00:35:35,268 Speaker 1: the Canton talk. Well, you're not supposed to ask anybody 807 00:35:35,268 --> 00:35:37,468 Speaker 1: who they voted for, especially these days, But in the 808 00:35:37,548 --> 00:35:39,308 Speaker 1: case of the NFL Top one hundred, we can't. We 809 00:35:39,348 --> 00:35:40,788 Speaker 1: love the tend up one hundred. It is the best 810 00:35:40,828 --> 00:35:43,108 Speaker 1: one hundred players in league, voted for by the players. 811 00:35:43,268 --> 00:35:45,668 Speaker 1: We haven't revealed. This year's a cream of the crop yet. 812 00:35:45,668 --> 00:35:47,548 Speaker 1: It's coming up soon, though. Who is your top five 813 00:35:47,628 --> 00:35:49,788 Speaker 1: NFL players in any position? Right now? Who do you got? 814 00:35:50,028 --> 00:35:53,348 Speaker 1: So it's always the guy who surpasses his peers by 815 00:35:53,348 --> 00:35:55,788 Speaker 1: the most amount. It's always Aaron Donald. But I still 816 00:35:55,788 --> 00:35:58,108 Speaker 1: have Pat number one, because I mean the quarterback is 817 00:35:58,148 --> 00:36:00,508 Speaker 1: the quarterback, and I think Pat's still the best out there. 818 00:36:00,628 --> 00:36:03,108 Speaker 1: I've had Aaron Donald number two. And then you look 819 00:36:03,108 --> 00:36:05,308 Speaker 1: at like tight end, you get Kittle, you got Kelsey. 820 00:36:05,508 --> 00:36:08,188 Speaker 1: They're both awesome, but because they're both so good, they 821 00:36:08,228 --> 00:36:09,988 Speaker 1: kind of negate each other. So then you look at 822 00:36:09,988 --> 00:36:12,548 Speaker 1: offensive line. I think Trent Williams is doing things that 823 00:36:12,548 --> 00:36:14,188 Speaker 1: no one else is doing a tackle, so you have 824 00:36:14,268 --> 00:36:16,188 Speaker 1: him there. Zack Martin, who we talked about, I think 825 00:36:16,188 --> 00:36:17,468 Speaker 1: you have to have him in there. A lot of 826 00:36:17,508 --> 00:36:25,908 Speaker 1: linemen here. I'll put Rogers, I mean back to back 827 00:36:25,988 --> 00:36:28,588 Speaker 1: m vps. He's playing as efficient at quarterback as you 828 00:36:28,588 --> 00:36:31,068 Speaker 1: could possibly play. Some people might say that's to their 829 00:36:31,108 --> 00:36:32,948 Speaker 1: detriment a little bit and he needs to chuck it 830 00:36:32,988 --> 00:36:34,788 Speaker 1: a little more and take some risks. But I think 831 00:36:34,788 --> 00:36:37,988 Speaker 1: that's a pretty well round to top five Kelsey six. Yeah, 832 00:36:38,028 --> 00:36:40,068 Speaker 1: you know, knowing Mahomes the way that you do, it 833 00:36:40,068 --> 00:36:41,988 Speaker 1: would be detrimental to the rest of the league to 834 00:36:42,068 --> 00:36:44,148 Speaker 1: name him anything other than number one, knowing that he 835 00:36:44,148 --> 00:36:46,548 Speaker 1: would hear the noise if he was any other number. 836 00:36:46,628 --> 00:36:49,268 Speaker 1: Is that true? Yeah, Yeah, he definitely takes in all 837 00:36:49,268 --> 00:36:51,428 Speaker 1: those things. I mean, he's the guy who like he 838 00:36:51,468 --> 00:36:53,588 Speaker 1: knows everything that's going on in the sports world. Like 839 00:36:53,668 --> 00:36:56,468 Speaker 1: I don't know how, but like College World Series, he 840 00:36:56,548 --> 00:36:59,468 Speaker 1: just knows, like oh yeah, you can go up to 841 00:36:59,548 --> 00:37:00,988 Speaker 1: him and like hey, did you see this? Yeah, but 842 00:37:01,108 --> 00:37:04,188 Speaker 1: he just knows. He's a sports at the courthole turnament, 843 00:37:06,308 --> 00:37:09,028 Speaker 1: you know, And so that's his way to like kind 844 00:37:09,068 --> 00:37:11,748 Speaker 1: of decompress, and like he just loves sports. He loves football, 845 00:37:11,748 --> 00:37:13,428 Speaker 1: he loves all those things. It's it's really cool. It's 846 00:37:13,428 --> 00:37:15,428 Speaker 1: fun to be around a guy like that and as 847 00:37:15,468 --> 00:37:17,468 Speaker 1: someone who you know kind of likes all things sports. 848 00:37:17,508 --> 00:37:19,308 Speaker 1: And but yeah, if I if I had him fifth, 849 00:37:19,308 --> 00:37:22,348 Speaker 1: he'd probably start counting on. Maybe he needs the motivation. 850 00:37:22,388 --> 00:37:23,788 Speaker 1: I don't know, Maybe I should have had him. Fifth, 851 00:37:23,988 --> 00:37:29,348 Speaker 1: it's good, Thank you. You are awesome. Yeah, any time 852 00:37:29,388 --> 00:37:31,788 Speaker 1: here in New York City, come stop by here to 853 00:37:31,988 --> 00:37:37,188 Speaker 1: you that it's all seeing them all?
