Would be jerky things for choosing 3 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: us on this Tuesday. My name is Kay Adams. Hello, 4 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: Peter Schrager, crowd Ran, Chris Carter, Hall of Famer for 5 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: the Football is here. He wants to talk about the Bills. 6 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: He wants to talk about their schedule, their opponents coming 7 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: up as send me notes across the cham We we're 8 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: gonna get into it right now. But we have a 9 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: highlight read because the Titans came to play drop shown 10 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 1: said it's the quarterback tree is not the funnest play 11 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: to run and certainly not that one. The Titans in 12 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: a really gritty, impressive win over a team that a 13 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: lot of people had is the number one out of 14 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: thirty two in the league, thirty four thirty one. And 15 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: our Cameron Wolf caught up with number eleven A. J. 16 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: Brown to talk about that. King, What did you see 17 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: from the big fell out there to help y'all get 18 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: to win? Oh, he was doing this thing man. The 19 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: first round. We laid out the red apartment Foram. But 20 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: but most of the time he knew a lot of 21 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: dirty work and he did that tonight he's gonna keep on. 22 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: There's a lot of talking this coming into this game 23 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: about this Bills team maybe being the best team in AFC. 24 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: What type of statement did y'all make about who you 25 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: guys are. Man, that's a huge win against a great team. 26 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: It's a week a week league. You gotta keep on 27 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: each and every week. We're gonna use this momentum and 28 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: just keep on next week. Like I said, a week 29 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: a week lead. Wow. So after last night, think Titan's 30 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,559 Speaker 1: improved to four and two, the Bills dropped to four 31 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: and two. There are five teams tied at four and 32 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: two in the AFC. The Ravens at five and one 33 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: alone with the best record in the a f C. So, 34 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: after what we saw last night, which team do we 35 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: like in the AFC? And why? Chris, I'll start with you. 36 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: Is it still the Buffalo Bills despite not having the 37 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: best record. Yeah, I know it might be difficult, but 38 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: watching the game last night, I'm not going to be 39 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: a prisoner of the moment. If you had told me 40 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: before the season that Buffalo they would struggle their first 41 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: game of the season at Pittsburgh at home, yeah, it's 42 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: possible they could lose that game this week in Tennessee 43 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: lodes to a very very physical Tennessee team that they 44 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: played a good football game. I'd be like, Okay, yes, 45 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: they could have two losses right now, but they're the 46 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: most balanced team now. I am a little concerned about 47 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: their running game. When I say balance, I'm time about 48 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: offense to defense. I am concerned. The reason why you 49 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: run so many quarterback sneaks. You said before that he 50 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: was thirteen for fourteen on quarterbacks sneaks, Yes, fourth and one. 51 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: The reason why you do that because all your running 52 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: backs are undersized. So as the weather starts to change 53 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,839 Speaker 1: in Buffalo, global warmant hadn't hit Buffalo yet, so they're 54 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: gonna need a bigger back because they're gonna have a 55 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: lot of those short yard situations. But top to bottom 56 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: and the lack of permanent injuries on their roster, that's 57 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: why I give them the edge over Baltimore, Kansas City, 58 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 1: and some of the other Tennessee I mean, they just 59 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: had all those healthy players and loss. Okay, and by 60 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: the way, it's called the seventeen game schedule. I'm not 61 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: going to be a prisoner of one game. Buffalo has 62 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: the easiest schedule left they only got two teams with 63 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: a winning record left on the schedule. I think they 64 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: play Tampa Bay and I think they play New Orleans, 65 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: And if you look at them now the games, you 66 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: only play two teams with a winning record. That gives 67 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: a decisive age to what they have going on in Buffalo. 68 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: I feel like I think Tennessee is a fascinating team 69 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: that I can't figure out. That's an amazing win last night, 70 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: and then you have the loss to the Jets that 71 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: doesn't bounce. I think the Chargers are fascinating. We like them, 72 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: We like Staleley, we like Herbert. They can't stop anybody 73 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 1: on defense, that's a real problem. But I do think 74 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: that Buffalo got caught and it was a one play 75 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: at the end of the game on the road. I 76 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: think Buffalo is so drunk on themselves. And I'm talking 77 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: about the team the fan base this week. You know 78 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: Bill's Radio, the legendaries and players like Steve Tasker are saying, Oh, 79 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a runover game, this is gonna 80 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: be a forty burger for Buffalo. Peter, I think you 81 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: said something the most similar yesterday. They're all healthy. Tray 82 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: White was there Milano was there. There was no Why 83 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't they They destroyed the Chiefs. They look great. Everyone 84 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: was in on them, and we get so intoxicated. I 85 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: look at all these Bills fan is on the play 86 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: and they look at this. Do they have a running game? 87 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: Do they have one? Like? Are they gonna need one 88 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: in January? I know Josh Shellen's great and Digs is great. 89 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: This is not a perfect team in any way. I 90 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: still believe in them. I still think that they are 91 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: the one seed. I really do. But don't not think 92 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: that there's this unbeatable and because we jump on tables 93 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: and have Josh, youlln we can't be beat They can 94 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: and they were last night's Sparre and Square. I can 95 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: go a lot of ways. And I think that the 96 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: Ravens are playing the best football right now and catching 97 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: their mojo. I think the Bills might be the best 98 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: team overall when they're at their very best. But there's 99 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: a team that I am petrified of. All these guys 100 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: because they just got let back in the club, the 101 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: Bills losing, the Chargers losing. Don't let Kansas City get 102 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: hot here. Don't let Kansas City. They did something in 103 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: the third quarter of yesterday's game or Sunday's game, when 104 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: they suddenly like clicked and then it was like the 105 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: Chiefs are back and it was scary. And then it 106 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: was just point after point after point after point, and 107 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: it was relentless Warriors. It felt exactly like the Warriors. 108 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: Here comes Curry, here comes Clay. They were unstoppable once 109 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: they got going. Now, might have taken them five weeks 110 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: and three quarters, okay, but they're three and three. They 111 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: are a game back from all of these teams. Now. 112 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: I know that's as they were going against a team 113 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: don't have a nickname, don't have a defense. That's fine, 114 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: I mean that's so. They really did look good, but 115 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: that defense is awful. I'm talking about legendary awful. And 116 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: with Chris Jones being out, how are they going to 117 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: get a consistent pass rush in every NFL city? What 118 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: they're going through is, man, we don't want to get 119 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: run on. When you get run there's two ways, and 120 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: to be demoralized in the NFL, that's pop the quarterback 121 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: and run up the gut on And that's what you're 122 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: able to do with Kansas City. Let me ask you 123 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: right now, I'll ask you guys say it's a wild 124 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: card around Chiefs are traveling to let's pick a team Tennessee. 125 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: They're doing it next week. Actually that's the game next week. 126 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: Are you really taking like the Titans or are you 127 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: counting out the Chiefs already saying because I think any 128 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: team in that asc in the plaoffs, including the Ravens 129 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: who have eaten them this year. Yeah, I still am 130 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: taking the Chiefs until because you weren't like like last week. 131 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: Now they went against Washington and did it in a 132 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: half and a half against collect the thirty second the 133 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: worst defense in the National Football League. It's like I'm 134 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: watching him choose between two Sophie Parros. No, it's like 135 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: like if you bachelorettes. We had so many fun times 136 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: and now I really like the Bills for me, Like 137 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: he can't pick I'm watching she's my old flame. Well 138 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: maybe that was maybe then I said the wrong team. 139 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: That wild card game is at Buffalo. You're still gonna 140 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: ride with Kansas City with your actor saying I'm just saying, 141 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: don't let them in this thing by them saying, but 142 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,799 Speaker 1: you post hypothetical hello Kansas City in Buffalo. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 143 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: I still might take the Chiefs the last few years playoffs, 144 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: they go into every place they win there. I think 145 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: you should tell both of them to go ahead. No, no no, no, 146 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: I don't want you to go have a good day 147 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: and tell them the Ravens or your squad track. The 148 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: Ravens are right. We had a funeral role on this 149 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: show when they had all of these injuries, and now 150 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: they have sole possession in the entire ar afc Are 151 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: we kitting here? I believe in the Ravens because they evolved, 152 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: they continue to evolve. I don't want to hear. Look 153 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: what happened against Beffalo last year, against the Titans here 154 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: before that. This is a completely different team I've heard. 155 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: I'm looking at my mentions right now. They can't beat 156 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: the Chief's psyche. Yes they did. They put back to Beth. 157 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: Let's see. We heard they can't come back if they 158 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: get in a big hole. I'm sorry. They stormed back 159 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: and took care business against the Cold twenty two to three. 160 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: They were down. I've heard Lamar Jackson isn't good enough 161 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: as a pastor. I've seen him put up one of 162 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: the greatest passing performances I've seen in my NFL life 163 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: in league history. The Ravens can beat you in tons 164 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: of ways. Obviously, Lamar arms and Legs don't. I'm sorry. 165 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: They're running the ball with dudes that were written off 166 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: by every other team in the National Football League, DeVante Freeman, 167 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: Levian Bell and Latavius Murray. They lost Marcus Peter saw 168 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: them struggle a little bit. You know what. They put 169 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: the complete kabash on the Chargers and everything they were 170 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: doing and said, justin Herbert, not today, You're not doing 171 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: it today. To me, the Ravens can beat you in 172 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: every way. Is the defense, the offense. We had a 173 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: near funeral and here we go. Lamar and John Harbo 174 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: deserve our love and our credit. Picked them with me, Shrigs. 175 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: That's where I am. I'm not gonna argue anything. They've 176 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: been on the team. That's why this is great. The 177 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: Ravens probably playing the best football in the NFL. But 178 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: no team is no weakness. Like they got smoked by 179 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: Buffalo in the playoffs they lost to the Raiders. Like 180 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: they have their weakness too. I think they're the number 181 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: one team now, but everybody can get got and like 182 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: they weren't close last year against Buffalo and they lost 183 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: sound Ravens at Buffalo. I'm taking the Ravens. You wouldn't 184 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: at Buffalo. Take My biggest problem is the Ravens. They 185 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: can't sustain one more injury. Eventually said that last injury though, No, 186 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: what did they get? No? Not you, but I think 187 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: don't see what say if they got one? Okay? Eventually, 188 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: all right, it's about players on the field, and they 189 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: have lost so many players. We know they're gonna lose 190 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: more players, yet they're on top. Yeah, what is that. 191 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: It's early in the build to build toughness, to build 192 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: confidence to the depth they're doing. Let me tell you 193 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: what a great coach told me. It ain't the XS 194 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: and os. It's the Willie's in the joke and if 195 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: you got betters Willie's and Joe's, I believe them. They 196 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: have institutional talent ownership, general manager, coach. Yes, but injuries 197 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: they're not excuses. It's hypothetical. Though. Let's say they don't 198 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: get that injury. Are you willing to say the Ravens 199 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: are that too? It is impossible, And I've made a 200 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: little money in my day. I'm willing to bet a 201 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: lot of money that they will have another significant injury. 202 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: It's a contact sport because their style of playing, because 203 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: they're running. No, because it's the NFL. Yeah, every team 204 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: is going to sustain Tampa Bay last year, what kind 205 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: of run did they go on? Why did they do 206 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: that because of injuries? They were healthy last year. Health 207 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: is a big concern. I do believe in Baltimore as 208 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: a team. But if there was any team out there 209 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: they had the same type of injuries, I would be 210 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: bringing that up. So it's not personal. Again, those injuries 211 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: were in the preseason and now they're sitting atop the conference. 212 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: I don't understand. There's a reason why guys are backups. 213 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: There's a reason why guys are on the side of 214 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: the road not playing. L Bell can't carry the ball 215 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: twenty times, right, They ain't got a guy who can 216 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: carry to ball fifteen times. Yeah, they used to have talent. Yeah, 217 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 1: it was a nice fantasy. It was night. Let's throw 218 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: back the night two thousand and seventeen. But they went 219 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,959 Speaker 1: in they destroyed the Charges. Charges are a good team. 220 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: They destroyed them with those Chargers got a good offense, 221 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: they got a good head coach, their game defense, huh, 222 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: they got what they got huh. All right, so let's 223 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: just be real to me. They're they're continuing you're saying 224 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: they didn't have Guess that wasn't of JK. Dobbins. They're 225 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: continuing to run the balls with guy that, with guys 226 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: that every other team because they have a great game plan, 227 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: they got great hocus pocus, and they probably have the 228 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: most feared players. How they get Rashad Bateman back to 229 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: a guy who you say it could be a number 230 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: one wide receiver. Okay, what does this mean? Watch, we're 231 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 1: gonna watch. We're gonna watch a long season. Yes, it 232 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: certainly is, and they're playing them very well. Let's bring 233 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: in Tom pelisera Tom, you have a band aid for us. 234 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: I don't like when Chris goes okay, I don't like 235 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: that that. I know that I know that and that 236 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: gesture and that is usually when I know that a 237 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: fight with my wife is over. Okay, Sarah. Sarah's like okay, 238 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: She's like, okay, let's see what happens. You just terrified 239 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: me about the Ravens. Right now. Let's talk NFC NFC 240 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: West Russell Wilson on ir Seahawks, have Geno Smith? Have 241 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: they been talking to other quarterbacks. Okay, they have been 242 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: talking to other quarterbacks. Pete Carroll mentioned it on his 243 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: radio show yesterday that, among others, they have spoken to 244 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: Cam Newton. But as Pete pointed out, this is what 245 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: the Seahawks do. They talk to everybody that they think 246 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 1: potentially might be able to help them. So they are 247 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: going to keep tabs going forward on Cam Newton. But 248 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 1: my understanding is nothing has materialized here right now. They 249 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: are putting their faith in Gino Smith. He'll get another 250 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: start on Monday Night against the Saints, and they're also 251 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: waiting for the return of Russell Wilson, which could be 252 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: just weeks away. Once Wilson is back, it wouldn't make 253 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: a lot of sense to have him and Cam Newton 254 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: coexisting in the same quarterback room. Nor would it make 255 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: a lot of sense financially. Remember, Cam has one point 256 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: five million dollars in fully guaranteed base salary left on 257 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: his Patriots contract, and that is subject to what are 258 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: known as offsets. Cam is not going to play for free, 259 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: so in order to get him in the building, a 260 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: team the Seahawks or otherwise would have to offer over 261 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: one point five million dollars. Also, Cam did note this 262 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 1: week he is now vaccinated, which means he could join 263 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: a new team immediately instead of waiting the five days guys. 264 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: Tom Broncos verse Browns on Thursday night here on NFL 265 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 1: Network talked to us about Cleveland really banged up. What's 266 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: the latest on Kareem hunt in Baker Mayfield? Well, Chris 267 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield had his left arm in a sling after 268 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: the game on Sunday night when he said he absolutely 269 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: intended to play four days later against the Broncos. My 270 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: understanding is the Browns are continuing to gather information. They 271 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: put him through an MRI, they're getting second opinions. Really, 272 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: it's going to come down to how does that left 273 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: shoulder feel. He first popped it out back in week two, 274 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: and the issue is once your shoulder pops out, it 275 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: tears that labram. It's susceptible to popping out again. So 276 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: Mayfield can play with it as he has been with 277 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: a harness on his non throwing shoulder, but it hurts 278 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: like hell when that thing pops out again. Brown's practice today. 279 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 1: We'll see what, if anything Mayfield is able to do. 280 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: If he can't go, it would be the journeyman case 281 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: Keenum gave his first start since twenty nineteen, when Keenom 282 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: was with Washington. As for Kareem Hunt, he is out 283 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: for this game and beyond likely to miss at least 284 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: three games going on to injury reserve because of a 285 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: significant calf strain that he suffered in that loss to 286 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. The Browns also have their starting running back 287 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, who's dealing with his own calf injury. That 288 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: one is not as significant. In fact, coach Kevin Stefanski 289 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: told me over the weekend, if this game against the 290 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: Broncos were on a Sunday, CHELBN have a pretty good 291 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: chance to play it. But it's on a Thursday night, 292 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: which makes it an uphill battle if neither one is 293 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: able to go. De Ernest Johnson and Demitric Felton are 294 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: your names to know in that Brown backfield cash and 295 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: hopefully the Ernest and company can do as well as 296 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: the Ravens running backs half in relief of their backfield 297 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: injuries that they sustained in the preseason. And let's start overseas. 298 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: You know, the Dolphins were a ten win team last year. 299 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: They have now dropped five straight games, including their most 300 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: recent loss a headscratcher to the Jacksonville Jaguars. If you 301 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: didn't watch the game, they were up the entire time, 302 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: and at the very end the Jaguars complete a pass, 303 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: then kick a game winning field goal and get out 304 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: of London with a victory. Dolphins go to one in five. 305 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: So my statement is this, the Dolphins are the most 306 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: disappointing team of the twenty twenty one season thus far. Kyle, 307 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: are we in or are we out? This is a 308 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: barrel of laughs? Herapeter right, like this, great, what's the 309 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: next question? Fired? I'm actually out. I'm only out because 310 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: I've been disappointed by many Dolphins teams over the years. 311 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: The most disappointing team for me is what if I 312 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: were to tell you that this team had a quarterback 313 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: who was second in the league in interceptions and had 314 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: to travel across the country to Washington to five hundred. 315 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: I think it's the Chiefs, Chiefs. I think it's the 316 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: AFC champion three and three, so many interceptions. You lose 317 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: the Herberds, you lose the Allan, you lose the Lamar. 318 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: Is there anybody you haven't lost to in the FC? 319 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I know that they're building this thing again, 320 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: but I think it's the Chiefs. I like the Chiefs 321 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: as an answer, but I'm gonna go with the dogs. 322 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: If you look at your end, I mean, I gotta 323 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: be in because ten wins all right last season. That's 324 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: something to building. We like what the coaches are doing 325 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: with the roster. We're not sure about the quarterback, but 326 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: the rest of the roster it is fairly sound. You 327 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: go to New England week number one, man, you win. Now, 328 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: if they lose that game and they get off to 329 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: a slow start, then I'm not I wouldn't be that surprised, 330 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: but building on what they had done in the twenty 331 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: twenty season and what's available at quarterback. Because I'm like 332 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people, I'm gonna put the disclaimer out 333 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: there going I like two of He's a nice guy, 334 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: but he can't be my quarterback moving forward. Really, I 335 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: gotta build to make the trade. I got the picks, 336 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna get me a guy. You know. Reason 337 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: why because I can't replace that whole offensive line. But 338 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: if I trade for Deshaun Watson, huh, I can have 339 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: a bad offensive line and he can get around with 340 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: How do I know that because that's what he's done 341 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: in Houston throughout his career. So I gotta be out 342 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: because I just believe that they should make the trade 343 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: before the trade deadline. Chris Carter, So she not campaign 344 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: here on Good Morning Football. Go get Deshaun Watson, he says. 345 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: I will say it's Washington for me. If I took 346 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: a shot for every time I said I think growling 347 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: Bears really building the eighty five Bears on this squad. 348 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: Their defense is going to get them right back to 349 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: the top. I'd be hammered to start the show every morning. 350 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: This is a thirty second defense in the National Football League. 351 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: They were number two last year. How in the world 352 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: are you of such talent where you have Chase Young, 353 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: where you have Montes, what all of these monsters or 354 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: you bottom of the league in defense. Don't come at 355 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: me and say Ryan Fitzpatrick is hurt. It's not about 356 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick. I didn't have huge expectations for the offense. 357 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: I was mad they didn't make a move for a 358 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: quarterback because I thought they'd be contending. Clearly, they're not 359 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: massive disappointment for me, right, No, I mean it's all 360 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: about that defense. This is supposed to be in the 361 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: next great defense that we're gonna build on. And they've 362 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: all these first round picks and are getting lit up 363 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: every week. Um, I throw the Giants into the mix. 364 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: Two Giants. I thought they were a playoff team this year. 365 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: They had the big acquisition with Galladay. They had the 366 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: great pickup with the Dorry Jackson where they're like, we 367 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: got I don't know one in five and they were 368 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: honoring the twenty eleven team and it was like they 369 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: were down by twenty points at halftime. It's like no 370 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: way to the team was so excited to see him. Yeah. Well, 371 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: then they also early in this year it was Eli 372 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: into the Ring of Honor and then they also yeah 373 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: they got stopped with the honors. Yeah, Dolphins and Giants. 374 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: I think those are two ones there. Obviously Washington in 375 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: Kansas City, and you lift us up with something. This 376 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 1: is unlike you, Peter, You're gonna have some fun, Okay, 377 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: good because there is some satorial choices every week made 378 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 1: in this league podiums, and we see the press conferences 379 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: and we love the outfits and all right, the Browns 380 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: had a really tough loss to the Cardinals, and Baker's 381 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: all hurt and he's obviously in a miserable mood. It 382 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: shows up the postgame press conference still wearing this combo 383 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: and Connor respected. I know he's in the sling, but 384 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: the white T shirt and the blazer, all right, this 385 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: is a guy who's battling through it. I thought this 386 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: was some look by Baker. Here. Let me ask, guys, 387 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: are we in? Are we out? Okay, white T shirt, blazer. 388 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 1: I know he's got a sling around as older. We're 389 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 1: not joking about the injury. We're joking about he look. 390 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: I like everything about Let's go. I want to hear 391 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: outside of the jacket choice. He has to have a 392 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: stylist that explains to him that sort of pattern. Murray's 393 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: on camera. Yeah, maybe it's a podium. It sort of 394 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: gets blurry. Not a great look for television. But he's understated, 395 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: doesn't care. I've I mean, I've dated guys who were 396 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: that exact out that's true. Yeah, I'm okay with this apple. 397 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 1: I would like to know the issue with the outfit, 398 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: the white T shirt shirt, the T shirt kind of dirty. No, 399 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: it's kind of like I just got off the field. 400 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: I kind of like it too. It's great. I like it. 401 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: I'm into it. Hey, what's the word marasmy? Like you? Yes, 402 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: that sort of patterned make itets squiggly on TV and 403 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 1: most TV people hate. Yeah. Yeah. I love the fact 404 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: that Kay shared that she's had a couple exs that 405 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: were outfits like that, like the outfit, but their faces 406 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: were like bakers after she left them too. So I'm 407 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: in on the outfit. I do like the outfit because 408 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: there's been many of times after the game I had 409 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: the perfect outfit on, but what happened on the field 410 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: or some type of injury, I was like, you know something, 411 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: I don't feel that way. I typically come from the 412 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. Get dressed before you do any interview, completely dressed, 413 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: make sure you have all the eye black outfit, and 414 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: go over the questions so make sure that I don't 415 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: make a mistake. But I'm in on him, and I 416 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: like the little platinum little necklace he has. I'm I'm 417 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: kind of in on necklace. So he's got the little 418 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: little chain there. I'm out on the outfit, like I 419 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: want to. I want to buy him some hot soup 420 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: or something like. He's like he's around a barrel fire, 421 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: but Here's why I'm really out on it because I 422 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: remember Chris Carter once had a hilarious TV moment in 423 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 1: which Buffalo Bills receiver Stevie Johnson cut a game winning 424 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: time come. I don't have to talk about so sorry. 425 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: Oh Johnson went to his press conference in this little 426 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: string tank top and then Chris, I'm come on, man, 427 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: the same tank top and it was laugh out You 428 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 1: remember what I'm talking about? Amazing? That was amazing. Look 429 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: that I have to go to in the sense, Baker's 430 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: just fine. Stevie Johnson an all timer. Can I throw 431 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: something out there? Yes, if Baker plays huh and Baker 432 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: has what what's the what's the way? Will you come 433 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 1: Friday morning? Whatever it is, I don't care. Okay, what 434 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: do we need from Baker? I don't think it's the 435 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: crazy an outfit it is with that sling too. I 436 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: have to wear it all. I don't know. Let's let's 437 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: remind Baker's the guy who dressed up in the far 438 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: of outfit with the phone, dirty white T shirt wear 439 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: from from Yes. Also, you guys got to give extra 440 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: credit because typically young guys don't wear undershirts under their shirt. 441 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: So I like that it helps, It helps preserve your 442 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: shirts long lasting. So young guy with a little chill. Yeah, 443 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: I don't feel like we can accurately judge him one 444 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: way or another. I don't feel that way yet. Now 445 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: I will say this, I feel like he needs to 446 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: step up more than he has and I think he 447 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: I think he needs to help us, you know, just 448 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: like everybody else. And I think he's gonna he's gonna 449 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: need to put a little bit of weight on his 450 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: shoulders here and it's time to step up, make some 451 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: throws and do some things. Let's get to today's power Rant, 452 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: presented by Derrisson. Okay to day, I want to revisit 453 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: rookie coach head coach Dan Campbell and what he said 454 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: on Sunday talking about his quarterback Jared Golf. And I 455 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: made contact with a few of my friends in the 456 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: league and wondering have they seen anything like what Dan 457 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: Campbell did, And they were very, very surprised that a 458 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: coach called out a player because one thing about NFL 459 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,719 Speaker 1: locker rooms is and Peter, you should you know this. 460 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: There's a lot of secrets, but we're all sworn to 461 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: we're going to keep this like family business. All right, 462 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: you talk about the family business at home, but you 463 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: don't take it out into the streets. And the players, 464 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: we always feel like the coach is always going to 465 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: protect us. Now. I know there's been some great relationships 466 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: through the years in football where coaches feel like they've 467 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: been mentors and kind of led people to playing beyond 468 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: what they really are through tough love. But there's also 469 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,959 Speaker 1: a trust factor because every day an athlete shows up, 470 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: he's got a trust that those coaches are going to 471 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 1: do what's absolutely best. So I can guarantee you today 472 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: Jared Golf and his teammates, they're questioning, is this guy 473 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: going to get the best out of my ability? And 474 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: if you go down the list, over the last hundred 475 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: years have been some great relationships legendary quarterbacks with their coaches. 476 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: Terry Bradshaw always talks about him and Chuck No how 477 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: different they were, but Chuck brought out the toughness in him. 478 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: Terry won to play around one to goof around one 479 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: to be funny, and Chuck Nord was about business. He 480 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: was about literature, and he was about studying the playbook 481 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: and watching film. Terry admits I was never really about 482 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: those things Troy Aitman. He openly admits that he preferred 483 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: the rugged style of Jimmy Johnson because he ran a 484 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: tight ship compared to Barry Switzer. Troy says, the beginning 485 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 1: of my career was so much better than the end 486 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: of my career because he had a good cop bad 487 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: cop with Jimmy Johnson, who ended up being a Hall 488 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: of Fame coach. The first two coaches I have to 489 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: mention third Hall of Famer because the quarterbacks are Hall 490 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: of Famer. Now. Myself, my own experience was when I 491 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: got released Labor Day nineteen ninety by the Philadelphia Eagles. 492 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: Buddy Ryan told me some things and it really really 493 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 1: struck a chord with me. He told me he couldn't 494 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: depend on me because of my past substance abuse and 495 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: my dealing with alcohol, and he told me that he 496 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: didn't think players like me got better now. Immediately after 497 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: he released me, he went to the press conference and 498 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: told the press all he does is score touchdown. He 499 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: never shared the bad stuff that I had in my 500 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: rap sheet, and if he had shared that on that day, 501 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings wouldn't have claimed me, because when I 502 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: got the Minnesota they did not know that I had 503 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: flung three previous drug tests and have been suspended from 504 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 1: the league for a month, and my next failed test 505 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: was going to get me suspended permanently banned from the league. 506 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 1: Bill Parcells called, he wanted to claim it. The Vikings 507 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 1: had a lesser record than them, so I had to 508 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: go to Minnesota. But in that conversation with Parcels, Parcels 509 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: didn't know what my past where. There have been coaches 510 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,199 Speaker 1: that have protected players, and there have been players. Do 511 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: you know how many times I've been in the game 512 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: and the coach called the wrong formation, with the wrong play, 513 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: with the wrong sequen and we only got eight seconds 514 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: on the clock. Did we ever go to the press 515 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: conference afterwards and share that because this is not the 516 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: way that you're supposed to do it. There's trust in 517 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: that player coach relationship, and the athletes got a trust 518 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: that they don't get the best. Peter your thoughts. It's 519 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 1: an unbelievab story about Buddy Ryan. I would think you'd 520 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: ever resentment towards Buddy Ryan. It sounds like just the opposite. 521 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,719 Speaker 1: You respect the fact he didn't go public with it. Yes, 522 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: absolutely saved my career. Welcome back to Good morning football, 523 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: and now welcome back from overseas where he was last 524 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: week to our virtual table here in New York. He 525 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: is the NFL network's front office analyst. He's also a 526 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 1: three time Super Bowl champion. Let's welcome back Scott Scot 527 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 1: to the show. Scott, good morning, good morning, good to 528 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: be back on stateside right now. Tell you what tell 529 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: you that it's great, sane and Scott, the numbers are 530 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: insane over the last thirty years. This is the year 531 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: where teams are going for it on fourth down more 532 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: than ever. Some are even going in their own territory. 533 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: And last night, with the game on the line and 534 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 1: they're down three on the road, Bill said, you know what, 535 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: we're going for it on fourth down. Let me tap 536 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: into your expertise here as you have been with multiple teams. 537 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: What if your take on these aggressive approaches on fourth 538 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: down that we're seeing this year more than ever. Peter. 539 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: It's funny because right now we're in this time period 540 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: we're hearing when teams go for it, it's an aggressive mindset, 541 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: it's a thoughtful mindset. But what's going to happen here 542 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: is at some point in time, there's going to be 543 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: enough data, and people are going to start losing jobs 544 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 1: over decisions like this or keeping jobs because of the 545 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 1: decisions they met and fourth down. So to me, I 546 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: look at this as it's sensible at times. There's other 547 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: times it just doesn't add up to me. And it's 548 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: funny every time you get into a conversation, it can 549 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: really fracture a room. If you're someone that's old like 550 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: me and you're talking to someone younger, they'll look at 551 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: you and say, oh, you're just an old guy. You 552 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 1: don't know what you're talking about. And when teams fail, 553 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: they really just don't hold those people account, you know. 554 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: I look at the Dallas game this past weekend too. 555 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: They had a fourth and one. They left three points 556 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: on the field where they had a first and goal 557 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: from the nine. They decided to go for it. They 558 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: didn't get it. Those points almost really cost them. So 559 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: I look at the situation's fascinating because I believe in 560 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: going for it on fourth down. I truly do. But 561 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: not every fourth down is the same. Not the situation 562 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 1: is the same, The circumstances, your player injury situations not 563 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: the same. The elements aren't the same. So I love 564 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: it when it makes sense, but there are going to 565 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: be people that eventually you are held accountable for those 566 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: kind of decisions. It's well said, mister Polee. Thanks for 567 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: joining us. I think the AFC is really fun right now. 568 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 1: You stopped and started the playoffs right now. The Chiefs 569 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: on the outside looking in, the Steelers as well, the Browns. 570 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: Chiefs particularly, they're not exactly dominating their opponents in waves 571 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: that we've sort of come to expect from them in 572 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: recent seasons with Patrick Mahomes leading the way. What do 573 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: you think that is going on in Kansas City? What 574 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 1: is it a result of? Okay, I think things are 575 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: going to be fine because they have an excellent roster. 576 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: They have an excellent coaching staff. What we're seeing week 577 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: to week though, is not all of their premium players 578 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: are playing at a premium level together. And consistently we 579 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: see week to week different things happening in terms of 580 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: one player will play well, one player doesn't play up 581 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: to their personal standard of excellence. But to me, this 582 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 1: is a football team that is eventually going to get 583 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: it together, and that's probably going to happen in December 584 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: and in January. You know, one of the theories out 585 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: there right now about the Kansasea Chiefs is first of 586 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: all I don't agree with it is that Patrick Mahomes 587 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: has taken up too much salary cap room, that big 588 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: contract is going to cost and they aren't able to 589 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: put a good team together. I don't believe that that's true. 590 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: They have a number of players in addition to Patrick 591 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: that have premium contract, their premium players. They just need 592 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: to consistently perform at a premium level and they will 593 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: be fine. There's a team that's already doing that right now. 594 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: If I were to ask you, Scott to points to 595 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: a quarterback who's playing better than Dak Prescott, and maybe 596 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: it's two or three guys, maybe one, maybe, I don't know, 597 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: it's a very small number. He looks incredible right now. 598 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: When you watch the Cowboys who were on fire. What 599 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: are you seeing happening on offense that is helping Dak 600 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: me so prolific. The thing that's helping Dak be so good, 601 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: Kyle is Dak. You know we go back to week one, 602 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: two days before the opening game of the season. Peter 603 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: asked me on the show, he said, you know, what 604 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: do you think is going to happen with Dak? This year, 605 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: and I referenced the interview that he had done with 606 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: Michael Irvin, and there was a look in Dak's eye 607 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: and I said, at that point in time, that looks 608 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: like a player that has sensed his football mortality. And 609 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: this game has shifted a little bit from being fun 610 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: to being serious business. I still think Dak is having 611 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: a lot of fun, but I also think that we 612 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: watched him mature in this last year since the injury 613 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: on a level that has become infectious with this football team. 614 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: His intensity, his folk, his grind it out, and the 615 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: way that he's playing again is spreading through the entire team. 616 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: You put Dak together with the physicality and the mentality 617 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: of Zach Martin, and we're watching this offense take on 618 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: a completely different, completely different energy. You know, It's funny. 619 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: The first two weeks we looked at Ezekiel Elliott. He 620 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: wasn't playing very good football. He wasn't playing hard football. 621 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: Zach Martin comes back, the focus of Dak comes into effect, 622 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: and now this Cowboys team, in my opinion, is playing 623 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: unlike any Cowboys team that we've seen in recent history 624 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: in terms of the way that they're delivering physicality, on 625 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football, we saw backup quarterback Geno Smith helped 626 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: the Seattle get the overtime, but we also saw the 627 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: fumble which led to Pittsburgh winning the game. Take me 628 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: behind the scenes of what John Snyder and Pete Carroll 629 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: are going through right now as far as do we 630 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: bring in another veteran quarterback who Russell has a very 631 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: complicated injury, or do we continue to try to groom 632 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: Gino because he's been in the building and he knows 633 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: our program. Yeah, Chris, I am a believer in the 634 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: ladder of those philosophies. You know, every team that I've 635 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: been a part of, every leadership group that I've been 636 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: the leadership group that I've been a part of. What 637 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: we have done is we start talking about that in February. 638 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: The conversation happens again in March. It happens every month, 639 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: including every week during training camp, and you're assessing where 640 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: your backup quarterback or backup quarterbacks are because you know 641 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: that there's a real chance that you're going to have 642 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: to go to that you don't want it to happen, 643 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: but there's a chance that's going to happen. And during 644 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: my career. There's a number of times that happened. I 645 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: remember in nineteen ninety nine being with the New York Jets. 646 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 1: In ninety eight, the season before, we were twelve and four, 647 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: went to the AFC Championship with Vinnie Testaverdi as our quarterback, 648 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: and we lost in the AFC Championship game. Next year, 649 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: first game of the season, Vinnie tears as achilles tendon. 650 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: We go to Tom Tupa as the backup quarterback for 651 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: the rest of that game. Then we moved to Rick Meyer, 652 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: who had been one of us the entire training camp. 653 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: Rick Meyer plays first to eight games, but we can't 654 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: get traction. Then we bring in Ready Lucas. All of 655 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: those players were on their our roster and the rest 656 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: of the football team could only do as good as 657 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: we had done. But then you go to two thousand 658 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: and one, we bring in our backup quarterback. Brady does 659 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: a pretty good job. Two thousand and eight, he rubs, 660 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: he gets his ACL torn. We bring in Castle. The 661 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: point of making is every time we did it, we 662 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: had a chance, and we felt like we had a 663 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: chance because those quarterbacks knew the system, they had chemistry 664 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: with the players that were on the offense and the 665 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: backup quarterback position and the starting quarterback position are all 666 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: about chemistry with the offense and the team. So to me, 667 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: I think sticking with what they have. They made this 668 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: choice consciously and thought Gino was gonna be the guy. 669 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: Now they have to stick with their plan. It's because stuff, Scott, 670 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,959 Speaker 1: appreciate all the stuff. The fourth down analysis is going 671 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: to be a conversation we're gonna go through throughout the season. 672 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: And thank you for shouting out Ray Lucas and the 673 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: ninety nine Jets, Joe about Tom Tuba. That's black Eyes. 674 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: Dare you go? Scott? Thank you guys always all right, 675 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: Thanks everybody, great to see you. Now we're playing with power. 676 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at dan Hens this week seven 677 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: power ranking. We abas do this with a theme with 678 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: Derek Hendrick's performance last night. Let's do this, uh group 679 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: by group with a theme of Kings. Right now, let's 680 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: get to the Night King Division. Night King highly overrated 681 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: in my opinion, not great defense Wills. The Texans are 682 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: at the thirty two spot, followed by the windless Lions, 683 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: the Jets. The Dolphins way down at twenty nine after 684 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: losing to you guests at the Jacksonville Jaguars down there 685 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: at twenty eight. But let's move on to happier times. 686 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: To the Babar the Elephant Division. The Bar's parents killed 687 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: by hunters. He becomes king upper left corner, The Niners, Colts, Panthers, Broncos, 688 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: those Patriots off a very close lost, Seahawks, Bears, and Eagles. 689 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: Moving on though to the Luke Probotide Division, one of 690 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 1: the great La Kings. All right, top ten, Kelly Rudy. 691 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: The Kelly Rudy sounds great. Kansas City Chiefs could use 692 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,720 Speaker 1: them on defense. The Titans running out the ten after 693 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 1: a huge win over the Bills, Bengals and Saints Cleveland Browns. 694 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,240 Speaker 1: Moving on though to the King Ralph Division. John Goodman 695 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: and his prime good Golly, Miss Molly. All right, The 696 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:24,320 Speaker 1: Cardinals are one the Bills despite the loss our two hands, 697 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 1: this maniac. The Buccaneers, Cowboys, Ravens, Packers, Rams, and Chargers 698 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,959 Speaker 1: round out. Not our top eight, But Daniel Hans says, 699 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: let's get to him right now. The King Joffrey of 700 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: these ranking just pisses everybody off, Dan Hans, This good morning, 701 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: how are you did he? King Jeoffrey walk out the 702 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: top of a building and that was that. Or is 703 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,840 Speaker 1: he the one that got poisoned. I don't remember anymore. Poisoned. Yeah, 704 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 1: he was at the Purple wedding. They call it online. 705 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: They put the poison in his wine. On Monday, Dan, 706 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: we are at the Cardinals. We're asking, we asked the 707 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: question if they're underrated despite being undefeated. Tell us why 708 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: you do not? I think that they're six and oh. 709 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 1: Start to the season is a fluke because they could 710 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: beat you in a whole bunch of ways. They could 711 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:09,879 Speaker 1: beat you with speed, they could beat you with power, 712 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 1: they could beat you through the air, they could beat 713 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 1: you on the ground. And for a team when we 714 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: entered the season, you wondered about, Okay, what's going on 715 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: with the coaching staff? Is Cliff Kingsbury maybe on the 716 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: hot seat? I just thought it was interesting, notable and 717 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,760 Speaker 1: impressive that Kingsbury can miss the game against the Browns 718 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: on the COVID nineteen list. And then Spencer Whipple, the 719 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,879 Speaker 1: assistant wide receiver coaches in the ear of Kyler Murray 720 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: getting it done, and Vance Joseph is doing his thing 721 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 1: from the d DC post and me and Peter with 722 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 1: a minor disagreement on Twitter that it's weird that Kingsbury 723 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: didn't even really watch the game, according to Bert Breer, 724 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 1: who said that he was studying for the Texans the 725 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 1: next week, which is some of the most super coach 726 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: stuff ever. But the thing is, Cliff Kingsbury's hot right now. 727 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: So the Cardinals and why not believe in them? I 728 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,360 Speaker 1: spoke with him. He said he could not stomach watching 729 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 1: the game as a fan. Dan, he couldn't do it, 730 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: said he couldn't do it without having the control over it. 731 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: So he's like, I went for a walk you and 732 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: then I just studied up on the Texans. I respect 733 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: you believe in but do you do you believe it? 734 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: Did he actually do it? That's amazing? I believe that, 735 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: um it is. That's a real football guy. Dan. We 736 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: have hyped up Matthew Stafford. We love Sean mcvah on 737 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: this show, but which ram deserves the most credit for 738 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,799 Speaker 1: why this team is playing so well. Well, you could 739 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: go in a lot of directions, but I'll say Cooper 740 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 1: Cup just because man, this guy. He came into the 741 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 1: league in twenty seventeen as a third round pick out 742 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: of Eastern Washington, and immediately he was an impact player 743 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: for them. He was a nice addition. But he's also 744 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: a guy that has won one thousand yard season to 745 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: his credit. He has a reconstructive knee surgery on his 746 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:52,760 Speaker 1: ledger and right now he's the second wide receiver since 747 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 1: Randy Moss, who Chris Carter I believe knows to start 748 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 1: a season with over six hundred yards and seven touchdowns 749 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: in the first six weeks. So he's on like a superstar, 750 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: super duperstar type space a pace. And I didn't expect that. 751 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody did. But Cup and Matthew Stafford 752 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:13,399 Speaker 1: had been golden. What a combination. Hands high. Like when 753 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 1: teams make like a steady rise cree, they creep up 754 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: the power rankings. And that's what I find. I just 755 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: feel like it's a safe way to go. It's what 756 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: I want to see. They're on the Upsit's the Bengals 757 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: I'm talking about. They're working their way up there this season. 758 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 1: What has been the biggest deciding factor and how you 759 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: break them down? Well, yeah, for me, like every offense 760 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,799 Speaker 1: that's you know, Matters has a big three and the 761 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 1: Bengals have one now and you have Joe Burrow, a 762 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 1: quarterback who's obviously a stud on the rise, and it's 763 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 1: been such a nice story coming back from that knee injury. 764 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase. All the handwringing about whether he was the 765 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: right pick in the summer, Well, absolutely he is, because 766 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,360 Speaker 1: they got themselves a potentially transcendent type talent at wide receiver. 767 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 1: And then Joe Mixon, who's been one of the more 768 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: frustrating guys, especially if you're a fantasy football player, in 769 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 1: the last a few years. But when he's healthy, he 770 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: gets he can be a three down back that's elite, 771 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: and you're seeing all that against the lines. Yes it 772 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 1: was against Detroit, but I just it struck me how 773 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 1: great they aren't those three positions and that's powering their offense. Dan, 774 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 1: many of us had the Chargers Ravens circled as the 775 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 1: top game of the weekend, but it ended up being 776 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 1: Baltimore demolished him. Were you more concerned about what you 777 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 1: saw from the Chargers offensively and defensively, or like the 778 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 1: people at the desk, were you more impressed with the 779 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,760 Speaker 1: Ravens and their Scotch tape roster. I'm a little afraid 780 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 1: to answer this. Chris Love You, Hall of Famer. I 781 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: was in pretty sure with the Ravens because if somebody 782 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 1: would have told you that Lamar Jackson would throw for 783 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty seven yards and two interceptions and 784 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: not have a big day on the ground against an 785 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 1: opponent of that level the Chargers, you would said, Oh, 786 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 1: the Ravens got blown out. But that's it. That's the 787 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 1: difference between this Ravens team and maybe the past Ravens teams. 788 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 1: Even with all the injuries, even when Lamar is not 789 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: lighting it up at a high level, they still find 790 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: a way to get the job done because they're well 791 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: coached and they execute on a high level. And that's 792 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 1: what we saw there. And I just thought the Chargers, 793 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,919 Speaker 1: you know, they had a bad week, and bad weeks happen, 794 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 1: but I still think they're a great team. But the 795 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,319 Speaker 1: Ravens showed in this game that it doesn't have to 796 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: be Lamar. They have a game plan that they can 797 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,320 Speaker 1: execute and they did it. And that was so impressive 798 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 1: to me. We're talking a lot of Ravens this week. 799 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 1: I got a feeling Dan.

All right, 805 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,240 Speaker 1: we'll selva back with the news and the Browns getting 806 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,399 Speaker 1: busy preparing for the Bronco on Thursday night. But they're 807 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,280 Speaker 1: doing so with a really banged up roster quarterback Baker 808 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,399 Speaker 1: Mayfield dealing with the shoulder injury. Then there's the backfield 809 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 1: where Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb both are airing, and 810 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 1: the defense, well, they're not exactly injury free either. Rookie 811 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 1: lionbacker Jeremiah Woosa Karamoa head coach Kevin Stefanski saying kay 812 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,240 Speaker 1: Okay will be out multiple weeks with a high ankle 813 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: sprain suffered and Sunday's lost to the Cardinals. The rookie 814 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,880 Speaker 1: has been instansational really so far this season, leading the 815 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 1: team in tackles. Well.

He expanded to Pro 838 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: Football Hall of Fame to new heights nearly eight years ago. 839 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: Please welcome Hall of Fame guest and a friend of 840 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 1: mine and a friend of the show, David Baker. All right, 841 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 1: what's up? Orange? Wonder what kind of jacket you ever 842 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 1: have on the day? I gotta go with the blue, Dave, Um. 843 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 1: Very exciting news for you. You and I have had 844 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 1: a lot of conversations throughout the years, but there was 845 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 1: a lot of excitement took place in week number six. 846 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,360 Speaker 1: One thing some football fans might have missed this past weekend, 847 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: you announced your retirement as Pro Football Hall of Fame 848 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,879 Speaker 1: President and CEO. Why now and why is the right 849 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 1: time for you and your family to move on? You know, Chris, 850 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,520 Speaker 1: there's never a good time to leave something that you 851 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 1: love this much, and it is difficult, it's challenging, but 852 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,799 Speaker 1: there is a right time, and I think this is 853 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,800 Speaker 1: the right time to be sure. Um. You know, we 854 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 1: just got through navigating COVID and a twenty month pandemic 855 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,799 Speaker 1: so far, you know, I think that the Hall has 856 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,440 Speaker 1: never been in a better position than now. We also 857 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 1: completed in shrining twenty eight in Chinese for this combination 858 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,719 Speaker 1: of the centennial year with twenty for twenty twenty and 859 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 1: the incredible class of twenty twenty one. So I don't 860 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 1: think the Hall has ever been in a better position 861 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 1: to move forward, nor do I think the League has 862 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 1: ever been in a better position for stronger position to now. 863 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 1: And so I think we've got a great team. I 864 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 1: think the Hall has picked a great processor and they're 865 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 1: ready to move on. I know in my own life, 866 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,239 Speaker 1: I think there's still some other things that I want 867 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 1: to do. And as much as I love Canton, Ohio 868 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 1: and the good people and the five thousand volunteers that 869 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:49,879 Speaker 1: are there that do such an incredible job, the couple 870 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,959 Speaker 1: of things that Canton doesn't have is abundant sunshine, ten 871 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 1: grand kids, and authentic Mexican zoo. And I'm going to 872 00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: enjoy all of those In California. Yeah, I think that 873 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,359 Speaker 1: southern California maybe getting a new residence very very soon. 874 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,840 Speaker 1: But mister Baker, there's there's things that we have to 875 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 1: work out here in this transition. Now, you introduced the 876 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:15,240 Speaker 1: knock to the football lexicon. It has become musty TV. 877 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:20,240 Speaker 1: It is iconic. Now that you are retiring to southern California. 878 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 1: What's next for the legendary knock? Will it continue? Are 879 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,040 Speaker 1: we going to have a rotating cast of people doing 880 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,440 Speaker 1: the knock? Please tell us? Yeah, you know, I think 881 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 1: that's for others to decide. Now. I think that's where 882 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,839 Speaker 1: Jim Porter and our Border directors and that's incredible team 883 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: back in the Hall of Fame. The only doors I'll 884 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 1: be knocking on, I think are Burger King Wendy's at 885 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 1: the Battles, which I do regularly. I think that it's 886 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,880 Speaker 1: a situation where, like you said, Kyle, you know, I 887 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 1: remember the first time when I called my first year 888 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,759 Speaker 1: the guys who were going to be in Trine and 889 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,640 Speaker 1: Ray guy was had been eligible twenty nine times putter 890 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 1: from the Oakland Raiders. But when I said to him, 891 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 1: it is my great pleasure, I could hear rayfall to 892 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,360 Speaker 1: the floor. I could hear his phone rattle around. His 893 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,520 Speaker 1: wife Sandy is going, honey, baby, are yo gay? And 894 00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,840 Speaker 1: then he got up after a full two minutes and 895 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 1: he said, he said, hey, I'm sorry. I'm not sure 896 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 1: I understood until now how much this means to me. 897 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 1: And we knew then that we had to try to 898 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:27,200 Speaker 1: share with as many fans as possible. The emotions of 899 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 1: these guys journeys. They're not thinking about how much money 900 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:33,960 Speaker 1: they made. They're thinking about their mom just like you 901 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,280 Speaker 1: know Chris did when he gave it as a Destrimer's 902 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:40,200 Speaker 1: feature his brother. They're thinking about their dad, or their coach, 903 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,240 Speaker 1: or their teammates had inspired him. It's an incredible journey 904 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 1: and from that journey, all of the rest of us 905 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,440 Speaker 1: can learn things that our journey. So I think that 906 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 1: there's going to be something special. I don't know what 907 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,320 Speaker 1: it is, but I think it's going to be a 908 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 1: great surprise, and I think it's going to honor every 909 00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,720 Speaker 1: every one of these guys that receives this good news. 910 00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 1: Mister Baker, it's the end of an era.

We love having you as a show. 912 00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,279 Speaker 1: Hopefully it's not the last time and you'll con visit us. 913 00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:12,520 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about a moment because we 914 00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,239 Speaker 1: have a segment that we do every Tuesday. It's called 915 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,440 Speaker 1: Hall of Frame. We pick a defining image from that 916 00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,839 Speaker 1: given week to tell the story of what the season is. 917 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 1: What is your defining Hall of Frame picture moment? The 918 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,359 Speaker 1: one snapshot that you think best is your time at 919 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,319 Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Oh you know, okay, 920 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,000 Speaker 1: there are so many things I'll take with me, and 921 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 1: so many lifetime memories and so many mental pictures. And 922 00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,440 Speaker 1: it could be knocking on Jerry Kramer's door, who waited 923 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 1: forty five years. You could be like we did just 924 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:46,799 Speaker 1: two nights ago in Pittsburgh, you know, giving the Hall 925 00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:48,920 Speaker 1: of Fame Ring of Excellence. So these guys, you can 926 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,839 Speaker 1: look into their eyes and watch them cry as all 927 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,759 Speaker 1: these fans are cheering for it one more time. But 928 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 1: I think what I'll remember the most. There's a picture 929 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,600 Speaker 1: that hangs in my office and I'll have it here 930 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 1: at home, and it is a young eight year old 931 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 1: ten year old guy that has nose to nose face 932 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,960 Speaker 1: to face with there you go with the you know, 933 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:17,640 Speaker 1: the bronze bust of Demantids, and this young guy looks 934 00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:21,839 Speaker 1: like my grandson. And every time I see it, it 935 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,719 Speaker 1: captures my heart. It's why we call it the most 936 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 1: inspiring place on Earth. Our goal has been to take 937 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,600 Speaker 1: all those values that made Demonidas at the Great Hall 938 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,759 Speaker 1: of Fame Center for the Pittsburgh Steelers, or to make 939 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,799 Speaker 1: Chris that incredible receiver for the vikings and pass those 940 00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 1: values onto the next generation of young men and young women. 941 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 1: And to me, I've seen that happen a million times. 942 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:50,560 Speaker 1: I've seen those kids.
