Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by 3 00:00:27,428 --> 00:00:29,628 Speaker 1: Old Trapper Beef Jerky. We are live here in New 4 00:00:29,708 --> 00:00:32,548 Speaker 1: York City. It's Wednesday, September seventh. I'm Jamie yurt All 5 00:00:32,748 --> 00:00:35,788 Speaker 1: one side Kyle Grant, Peter Schrager, and a Super Bowl 6 00:00:35,868 --> 00:00:40,588 Speaker 1: champion Jason mccordy. Yesterday, we did our playoff predictions today, 7 00:00:40,868 --> 00:00:44,148 Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year. We got demons played and 8 00:00:44,148 --> 00:00:46,228 Speaker 1: we got one of the big dogs, the four of us. 9 00:00:46,228 --> 00:00:49,268 Speaker 1: We're predicting the most valuable player of the twenty season. 10 00:00:49,308 --> 00:00:52,148 Speaker 1: Are you ready? Are you ready? Peter? Come on? Until then, 11 00:00:52,188 --> 00:00:55,028 Speaker 1: it's time for the lead block. It's all going down 12 00:00:55,068 --> 00:00:58,188 Speaker 1: Tomorrow night, the defending Super Bowl champion Rams will host 13 00:00:58,268 --> 00:01:00,908 Speaker 1: Jos Allen and the Buffalo Bills at SOFI Stadium to 14 00:01:00,988 --> 00:01:03,708 Speaker 1: kick off the twenty twenty two season. And despite the 15 00:01:03,828 --> 00:01:06,908 Speaker 1: Rams winding the Lombardi last here, there's been a ton 16 00:01:06,948 --> 00:01:09,668 Speaker 1: of heat on the Bills this offseason. Good kind of heat. Though. 17 00:01:09,708 --> 00:01:12,468 Speaker 1: Cornerback Jalan Ramsey has heard it all. Here's what he 18 00:01:12,668 --> 00:01:16,108 Speaker 1: told reporters yesterday. Yeah, a good team. I ain't a 19 00:01:16,148 --> 00:01:17,308 Speaker 1: lot of you. I'm not about to sit up here 20 00:01:17,388 --> 00:01:19,748 Speaker 1: and boost them like y'all might want, like maybe other 21 00:01:19,748 --> 00:01:21,828 Speaker 1: people doing, I ain't doing it. I ain't gonna be extra. 22 00:01:21,868 --> 00:01:23,308 Speaker 1: They good, you know what I mean. But we're good 23 00:01:23,308 --> 00:01:26,708 Speaker 1: too over here. So we'll see him on Thursday. All right, 24 00:01:26,908 --> 00:01:28,828 Speaker 1: Yeah they're good. Yeah, they're good. They can hang. We're 25 00:01:28,868 --> 00:01:33,388 Speaker 1: gonna see the grays, flowers, the banners tomorrow night before kickoff. 26 00:01:33,708 --> 00:01:36,028 Speaker 1: And yet the twenty five analysts, let's check in on 27 00:01:36,028 --> 00:01:38,428 Speaker 1: them again. Who made their super Bowl predictions on NFL 28 00:01:38,468 --> 00:01:42,228 Speaker 1: dot com. No one, No one has the rams going 29 00:01:42,348 --> 00:01:45,788 Speaker 1: back to back. You'll see how our super Bowl predictions 30 00:01:45,828 --> 00:01:48,708 Speaker 1: are going to pan out in tomorrow's show. But for now, 31 00:01:49,428 --> 00:01:52,348 Speaker 1: we have a question. Are the rams being overlooked heading 32 00:01:52,388 --> 00:01:56,628 Speaker 1: into the two twenty two seasons? Rams overlooked? Rams overlooked. 33 00:01:57,068 --> 00:01:58,628 Speaker 1: I can't get there. I don't think they are. It 34 00:01:58,668 --> 00:02:00,468 Speaker 1: makes an impression what you just said about the super Bowl. 35 00:02:00,508 --> 00:02:02,988 Speaker 1: And yet, listen, the real disrespect would be then I'll 36 00:02:02,988 --> 00:02:05,148 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. You make the playoffs. We'll see what happens. 37 00:02:05,308 --> 00:02:06,908 Speaker 1: All four of us at this table have the rams 38 00:02:06,908 --> 00:02:08,588 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. You know a lot of people look 39 00:02:08,588 --> 00:02:10,388 Speaker 1: at Peter King's picks. Peter King has the Rams in 40 00:02:10,428 --> 00:02:13,748 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I don't see this massive disrespect. I think 41 00:02:13,748 --> 00:02:15,588 Speaker 1: if anybody in the Super Bowl last year is going 42 00:02:15,628 --> 00:02:17,748 Speaker 1: to dispect, it might be the Bengals. But more to 43 00:02:17,788 --> 00:02:19,468 Speaker 1: the point, I think what's going on with the Rams 44 00:02:19,588 --> 00:02:21,828 Speaker 1: right now is having to do with going on in 45 00:02:21,868 --> 00:02:24,428 Speaker 1: tomorrow nights. Is that they are showing up at the 46 00:02:24,468 --> 00:02:27,788 Speaker 1: Oscars or the met Gala and there, you know, Chris Evans, 47 00:02:27,868 --> 00:02:30,988 Speaker 1: good guy, totally respectable, great career, looks great, but like 48 00:02:31,228 --> 00:02:33,388 Speaker 1: Zendeia is showing up at the same time, and that's 49 00:02:33,428 --> 00:02:35,748 Speaker 1: the Bills. Everyone's just on the That's like Harry Styles 50 00:02:35,748 --> 00:02:37,588 Speaker 1: and that stupid collar. Everyone was like, oh my god, 51 00:02:37,588 --> 00:02:38,988 Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm here, and Chris Evans is like, 52 00:02:39,068 --> 00:02:42,508 Speaker 1: what am I chopped? Fine pines figuring you on. Everybody's 53 00:02:42,548 --> 00:02:44,548 Speaker 1: looking at the Bills. And I have to say this, 54 00:02:45,148 --> 00:02:48,588 Speaker 1: last night NFL Game Day season preview on this network, 55 00:02:48,628 --> 00:02:51,508 Speaker 1: they got together. This is unbelievable. Look at the Super 56 00:02:51,508 --> 00:02:55,948 Speaker 1: Bowl picks. All six people on the show shows the 57 00:02:56,028 --> 00:02:59,108 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills to win the Super Bowl. No outlier, no 58 00:02:59,108 --> 00:03:03,588 Speaker 1: one who said you know what, Chiefs, Chargers, Packers, Rams. 59 00:03:03,868 --> 00:03:06,948 Speaker 1: All six individuals from all the way from top of 60 00:03:06,988 --> 00:03:09,868 Speaker 1: Rich down to Rachel took the Buffalo Bills. I want 61 00:03:09,868 --> 00:03:11,468 Speaker 1: to also point out two of them took them over 62 00:03:11,508 --> 00:03:15,028 Speaker 1: the Rams. So we have we're gonna review the Rams 63 00:03:15,028 --> 00:03:18,148 Speaker 1: over this entire season. But this week it is just 64 00:03:18,188 --> 00:03:21,748 Speaker 1: the Poparezzi balls are flashing for these Buffalo Bills, and 65 00:03:21,908 --> 00:03:24,108 Speaker 1: no one can tear their eyes off of Josh Allen 66 00:03:24,148 --> 00:03:26,628 Speaker 1: to look at Aaron Donald or Jalen Ramsey. I think 67 00:03:26,708 --> 00:03:29,108 Speaker 1: that is maybe where we're feeling some disrespected that they're 68 00:03:29,148 --> 00:03:32,228 Speaker 1: hosting a raising a banner and everyone's saying bills, bills, bills. 69 00:03:32,348 --> 00:03:34,428 Speaker 1: That's where it's coming from. But in the season, I 70 00:03:34,468 --> 00:03:36,308 Speaker 1: think we respect good things for the Rams, don't we. Well, 71 00:03:36,348 --> 00:03:38,548 Speaker 1: I think when we're starting out Week one and we 72 00:03:38,628 --> 00:03:40,868 Speaker 1: feel that way and everybody's looking at this in day 73 00:03:41,228 --> 00:03:44,428 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, let's goals to show that, yes, they are 74 00:03:44,508 --> 00:03:47,708 Speaker 1: being overlooked. We always talk about all the Rams, this happened, 75 00:03:47,788 --> 00:03:51,388 Speaker 1: that happened, Stafford's elbow, Big Vader talking, retire, all types 76 00:03:51,388 --> 00:03:53,428 Speaker 1: of stuff, But let's look at the other teams in 77 00:03:53,428 --> 00:03:56,468 Speaker 1: the NFC that it's kind of competing that we're talking about. 78 00:03:56,588 --> 00:03:59,668 Speaker 1: Let's talk about these teams because we're always glammoring on 79 00:03:59,708 --> 00:04:02,508 Speaker 1: the other teams. Tampa Bay Tom had eleven days off 80 00:04:02,708 --> 00:04:06,228 Speaker 1: offensive line issues, no idea. Aaron Rodgers is still doing 81 00:04:06,268 --> 00:04:09,548 Speaker 1: interviews talking about how bad the rookie receivers are. Kyler 82 00:04:09,628 --> 00:04:12,228 Speaker 1: Murray is now studying. So now we're all on board 83 00:04:12,228 --> 00:04:15,788 Speaker 1: with the Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco is it Trey Lands? Oh, now, 84 00:04:15,908 --> 00:04:19,868 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo's back in the picture, the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, 85 00:04:19,948 --> 00:04:22,268 Speaker 1: he'll probably have a press conference tomorrow. He'll be talking 86 00:04:22,268 --> 00:04:26,468 Speaker 1: about Mike McCarthy, the Philadelphia Eagles, Jalen Hurts the guy. 87 00:04:26,588 --> 00:04:29,628 Speaker 1: So to me, we're so focused on all the Rams 88 00:04:29,628 --> 00:04:32,268 Speaker 1: that the Rams that the other teams in the NFC 89 00:04:32,428 --> 00:04:34,548 Speaker 1: are the ones that we're seeing in the Super Bowl 90 00:04:34,628 --> 00:04:37,988 Speaker 1: predictions and this and that. But the Rams are retooled, 91 00:04:38,028 --> 00:04:41,548 Speaker 1: They've added Bobby Wagner, They've made some nice moves. They 92 00:04:41,548 --> 00:04:44,148 Speaker 1: didn't lose that much. Yes, they lost Von Miller, I know, 93 00:04:44,428 --> 00:04:46,708 Speaker 1: but there's still a team that should be talking about. 94 00:04:46,828 --> 00:04:49,668 Speaker 1: There's no way you should be unveiling the largest thing 95 00:04:49,708 --> 00:04:52,628 Speaker 1: coming down a raptor in the stadium, and all everybody's 96 00:04:52,628 --> 00:04:55,388 Speaker 1: talking about is the Buffalo Bills. To me, that goes 97 00:04:55,468 --> 00:04:58,188 Speaker 1: to show, yes, they are being overlooked. We can't even 98 00:04:58,228 --> 00:05:02,068 Speaker 1: talk about them enough in their first game after winning 99 00:05:02,108 --> 00:05:05,788 Speaker 1: a super Bowl because we're also excit about the Buffalo 100 00:05:05,868 --> 00:05:08,148 Speaker 1: Bill So yes, they are being Okay, we're making our 101 00:05:08,188 --> 00:05:10,348 Speaker 1: picks tomorrow, and I think everyone who watches the show's 102 00:05:10,508 --> 00:05:12,708 Speaker 1: Striker's gonna take the Rams. He's gonna go canoodle with 103 00:05:12,828 --> 00:05:15,468 Speaker 1: McVeigh and they're gonna go, you know, go dude spoon 104 00:05:15,588 --> 00:05:17,868 Speaker 1: later and whatever. No, here's like, I have to actually 105 00:05:17,908 --> 00:05:19,388 Speaker 1: make a choice, and I don't know if I'm going 106 00:05:19,428 --> 00:05:21,348 Speaker 1: with the Rams yet. I someone made my NFC choice, 107 00:05:21,468 --> 00:05:23,548 Speaker 1: and four to the last five years I did take LA. 108 00:05:23,668 --> 00:05:25,268 Speaker 1: I think that they had what it took in two 109 00:05:25,388 --> 00:05:27,388 Speaker 1: to the last four years they went to Super Bowl. 110 00:05:27,468 --> 00:05:29,548 Speaker 1: But I've got concerns. I think they're fair. And here's 111 00:05:29,588 --> 00:05:31,468 Speaker 1: why maybe they're not being overhyped, because it's not just 112 00:05:31,548 --> 00:05:33,628 Speaker 1: your usual defending Super Bowl champ. This isn't just bring 113 00:05:33,708 --> 00:05:36,868 Speaker 1: back twenty two guys. Number one. If I'm telling you 114 00:05:36,868 --> 00:05:39,188 Speaker 1: a Stafford zelbo is a concern, it's a concern. He 115 00:05:39,308 --> 00:05:42,908 Speaker 1: had a baseball surgery on his elbow. That's not telling 116 00:05:42,988 --> 00:05:45,668 Speaker 1: me like the greatest thing that's not a young you 117 00:05:45,708 --> 00:05:48,988 Speaker 1: know Mahomes or Alan coming out everyone flirting with her 118 00:05:49,028 --> 00:05:51,028 Speaker 1: time wasn't just McVeigh like Aaron Donald wants to go 119 00:05:51,148 --> 00:05:53,948 Speaker 1: be the rock or something like no Odell Beckham. Odell 120 00:05:53,988 --> 00:05:56,228 Speaker 1: Beckham carried them in that first half of the Super Bowl. 121 00:05:56,228 --> 00:05:59,068 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham was awesome last year down the stretch. Alan 122 00:05:59,148 --> 00:06:01,268 Speaker 1: Robinson's a different player and he's gonna probably play a 123 00:06:01,308 --> 00:06:03,828 Speaker 1: bigger role than Odell did right off the bat. But no, 124 00:06:04,028 --> 00:06:06,348 Speaker 1: fun Miller is big. And the last one, it's really 125 00:06:06,428 --> 00:06:08,348 Speaker 1: freaking hard to repeat. That's the only maybe the only 126 00:06:08,388 --> 00:06:11,428 Speaker 1: one you need. It's really hard. The Rams need today 127 00:06:11,428 --> 00:06:13,148 Speaker 1: a lot of things to go their way last year, 128 00:06:13,188 --> 00:06:15,228 Speaker 1: and he did. Robert Woods is in that pick. Robert 129 00:06:15,228 --> 00:06:16,828 Speaker 1: Woods was their number one wide receiver going into the 130 00:06:16,828 --> 00:06:18,428 Speaker 1: season and he got injured and missed a whole year. 131 00:06:18,908 --> 00:06:22,628 Speaker 1: So are they being overlooked? No, they're not being overlooked. 132 00:06:22,708 --> 00:06:25,148 Speaker 1: It's really hard to it's really hard to repeat. And 133 00:06:25,188 --> 00:06:27,748 Speaker 1: I think most people would say, like, you know, of 134 00:06:27,828 --> 00:06:30,068 Speaker 1: the thirty two teams, you know, the Rams might have 135 00:06:30,148 --> 00:06:31,948 Speaker 1: one of the best teams in football, But like, I 136 00:06:32,028 --> 00:06:33,908 Speaker 1: don't know, if it's a slam dunk, they're going back 137 00:06:33,948 --> 00:06:35,628 Speaker 1: and they're one of those teams that's winning back to 138 00:06:35,708 --> 00:06:39,108 Speaker 1: back to back to I think it's universally physically impossible 139 00:06:39,188 --> 00:06:41,148 Speaker 1: to be overlooked if you just want a Super Bowl. 140 00:06:41,228 --> 00:06:44,348 Speaker 1: I don't understand how this is even an applicable situation. 141 00:06:44,548 --> 00:06:46,348 Speaker 1: It's I understand other teams are going to be good, 142 00:06:46,388 --> 00:06:48,508 Speaker 1: they have improved it. You just want to Lombardi. You 143 00:06:48,628 --> 00:06:51,868 Speaker 1: are going to raise a banner on Thursday at Sofi 144 00:06:51,948 --> 00:06:54,828 Speaker 1: Stadium and you're telling me you think you are considered 145 00:06:54,988 --> 00:06:57,388 Speaker 1: an underdock. You just one and like Peter just said, 146 00:06:57,668 --> 00:07:00,628 Speaker 1: they lost two key factors. Yes, but they made improvements 147 00:07:00,708 --> 00:07:03,348 Speaker 1: the team. You have the same head coach, your quarterback 148 00:07:03,788 --> 00:07:06,388 Speaker 1: has an elbow that it may be surgically repaired. But like, 149 00:07:06,508 --> 00:07:09,508 Speaker 1: it's the same guys. You cannot be overlooked if you 150 00:07:09,588 --> 00:07:11,988 Speaker 1: just want a Super Bowl. I'm sorry, maybe two two 151 00:07:12,108 --> 00:07:15,188 Speaker 1: years removed, maybe three, not the next year. It's been 152 00:07:15,388 --> 00:07:18,508 Speaker 1: seven months. Relax everybody, Yes, it is hard to repeat 153 00:07:18,548 --> 00:07:21,388 Speaker 1: the hard sayone happened. It's two thousand and three, two 154 00:07:21,388 --> 00:07:24,028 Speaker 1: thousand and four, and I'm not saying everybody can be 155 00:07:24,148 --> 00:07:26,388 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. They can't. That's why he is Tom Brady, 156 00:07:26,548 --> 00:07:29,988 Speaker 1: and I just don't think Matthew Stafford has that pissed 157 00:07:30,028 --> 00:07:33,308 Speaker 1: off attention to detail to go back to the grind 158 00:07:33,428 --> 00:07:35,348 Speaker 1: the way Brady would if he did that season, and 159 00:07:35,468 --> 00:07:38,948 Speaker 1: he has done subsequently in his career. Stafford's great, but 160 00:07:39,028 --> 00:07:40,588 Speaker 1: there's a reason why it took him and the reason 161 00:07:40,628 --> 00:07:43,188 Speaker 1: why anybody it takes him this long to get a Lombardi. 162 00:07:43,268 --> 00:07:45,988 Speaker 1: It is hard to do once. It is certainly that 163 00:07:46,108 --> 00:07:47,908 Speaker 1: much harder to do it a second time in two years. 164 00:07:48,388 --> 00:07:50,388 Speaker 1: All right, time to check in with our Animal Network 165 00:07:50,428 --> 00:07:53,788 Speaker 1: insider Ian rap before a rap sheet on a Wednesday morning, 166 00:07:53,868 --> 00:07:57,268 Speaker 1: Week one. It starts tomorrow, and Lamar Jackson still doesn't 167 00:07:57,268 --> 00:07:59,268 Speaker 1: have a contract, and he said that there was a 168 00:07:59,348 --> 00:08:02,748 Speaker 1: cutoff time. What is the latest between Lamar Jackson and 169 00:08:02,828 --> 00:08:05,508 Speaker 1: the Ravens plus Odell and we just said he's still 170 00:08:05,508 --> 00:08:07,108 Speaker 1: a free agent. We're gonna see him on a team 171 00:08:07,148 --> 00:08:09,468 Speaker 1: anytime soon. Well, we'll start with Lamar Jackson and he 172 00:08:09,588 --> 00:08:12,028 Speaker 1: is expected to address reporters, say, going to be fascinating 173 00:08:12,068 --> 00:08:15,548 Speaker 1: to see what kind of notes he puts on this potential. 174 00:08:15,788 --> 00:08:19,948 Speaker 1: Maybe we'll see contract extension. You're right, the deadline is coming. 175 00:08:20,028 --> 00:08:23,068 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson represents himself has had the final word on this, 176 00:08:23,508 --> 00:08:26,428 Speaker 1: so stay tuned for what he says today. My understanding 177 00:08:26,468 --> 00:08:29,188 Speaker 1: of the situation right now is there's nothing imminent on 178 00:08:29,308 --> 00:08:32,148 Speaker 1: a new contract, and the fact that Shaun Watson got 179 00:08:32,148 --> 00:08:34,788 Speaker 1: two hundred thirty million dollars fully guaranteed and then Russell 180 00:08:34,868 --> 00:08:38,148 Speaker 1: Wilson followed it up by not getting that much fully guaranteed, 181 00:08:38,188 --> 00:08:41,348 Speaker 1: just one hundred and sixty five in overall guarantees for 182 00:08:41,428 --> 00:08:44,108 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson maybe changes the calculus a little bit, makes 183 00:08:44,148 --> 00:08:46,828 Speaker 1: it a little harder for Lamar Jackson to push for 184 00:08:46,908 --> 00:08:50,228 Speaker 1: fully guaranteed money and makes the Ravens more reluctant to 185 00:08:50,308 --> 00:08:52,588 Speaker 1: give it to him. Does that end up standing in 186 00:08:52,628 --> 00:08:56,068 Speaker 1: the way of an extension, a big time extension before 187 00:08:56,188 --> 00:08:58,348 Speaker 1: this season? Just a couple of days left. We'll keep 188 00:08:58,428 --> 00:09:01,468 Speaker 1: you updated on that. Meanwhile, you mentioned Odell Beckham Junior 189 00:09:01,588 --> 00:09:04,108 Speaker 1: still recovering from that ACL injury, and of course you 190 00:09:04,188 --> 00:09:06,188 Speaker 1: got had he not turned his ACIL on the Super Bowl, 191 00:09:06,228 --> 00:09:08,548 Speaker 1: he may very well have been the Super Bowl MVP. 192 00:09:08,828 --> 00:09:11,508 Speaker 1: That's how well he was clicking with this team. That said, 193 00:09:11,628 --> 00:09:14,828 Speaker 1: not expected to be able to play until round November. 194 00:09:14,948 --> 00:09:17,748 Speaker 1: He is in no rush and actually makes a lot 195 00:09:17,788 --> 00:09:20,068 Speaker 1: of sense for Beckham just to wait. He's got a 196 00:09:20,148 --> 00:09:22,108 Speaker 1: market now, he's got some interested teams, a couple of 197 00:09:22,148 --> 00:09:24,868 Speaker 1: the Thursday night teams. Maybe some of those teams interested. 198 00:09:24,948 --> 00:09:27,748 Speaker 1: We know for sure the Rams are. If he waits 199 00:09:27,828 --> 00:09:31,308 Speaker 1: until early November, late October, he's going to have a market. 200 00:09:31,388 --> 00:09:33,668 Speaker 1: How much more money will he make from some receiver 201 00:09:33,748 --> 00:09:36,708 Speaker 1: and needy team makes sense for him to Decendy chill 202 00:09:38,468 --> 00:09:41,788 Speaker 1: time for today's wake Up Call presented by Verizon, And 203 00:09:41,948 --> 00:09:43,508 Speaker 1: yes it is freezing in the studio, but there was 204 00:09:43,548 --> 00:09:45,668 Speaker 1: a reason why I have the sweatshirt on. It is 205 00:09:45,748 --> 00:09:47,908 Speaker 1: prediction week. We have made our picks for everything from 206 00:09:47,988 --> 00:09:51,348 Speaker 1: Rookies of the Year to playoff teams and Defensive Player 207 00:09:51,428 --> 00:09:54,428 Speaker 1: of the Year. That's all coming both yesterday and throughout 208 00:09:54,428 --> 00:09:56,108 Speaker 1: the rest of the week. But right now we're taking 209 00:09:56,188 --> 00:09:59,828 Speaker 1: things to another level with our picks for this year's MVP. 210 00:09:59,988 --> 00:10:02,988 Speaker 1: So these sweatshirts are on because we have the jersey 211 00:10:03,068 --> 00:10:05,508 Speaker 1: on underneath of the player that we have selected that 212 00:10:05,588 --> 00:10:09,308 Speaker 1: we believe will be the most valuable player in the 213 00:10:09,428 --> 00:10:13,788 Speaker 1: National Football League this season. Peter, you start us off, soldier. 214 00:10:15,668 --> 00:10:17,388 Speaker 1: I would like to kick you on a journey back 215 00:10:17,428 --> 00:10:20,388 Speaker 1: to twenty twenty in Tampa Bay, certain man named Tom 216 00:10:20,468 --> 00:10:23,628 Speaker 1: Brady showed up to a moribund franchise and said, guys, 217 00:10:24,188 --> 00:10:26,468 Speaker 1: come with me. I'm gonna take you to the Promised Land. 218 00:10:26,748 --> 00:10:29,068 Speaker 1: He did that and won a Super Bowl. Following year, 219 00:10:29,228 --> 00:10:32,948 Speaker 1: a guy named Matthew Stafford, who had no real individual success, 220 00:10:32,988 --> 00:10:35,468 Speaker 1: so we're team's success at the highest levels, came to 221 00:10:35,588 --> 00:10:38,188 Speaker 1: Los Angeles and took a franchise. I could not get 222 00:10:38,228 --> 00:10:40,668 Speaker 1: over the hump and said, fellas, follow me, I'm gonna 223 00:10:40,708 --> 00:10:43,708 Speaker 1: take you there. My pick for MVP for the twenty 224 00:10:43,828 --> 00:10:46,108 Speaker 1: twenty two season is a man that has never won 225 00:10:46,188 --> 00:10:49,908 Speaker 1: the award before us, but I think he's going to 226 00:10:50,028 --> 00:10:54,348 Speaker 1: do some special thing. Let's ride for the Denver Broncos. 227 00:10:54,548 --> 00:10:58,268 Speaker 1: This is my pick for MVP this year. I'm going 228 00:10:58,388 --> 00:11:01,228 Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson. The Broncos have not been to the 229 00:11:01,308 --> 00:11:06,148 Speaker 1: playoffs since Peyton Manning won a Super Bowl in twenty sixteen. 230 00:11:06,748 --> 00:11:10,028 Speaker 1: We have seen Brett Rippin play quarterback, no offense to 231 00:11:10,108 --> 00:11:13,028 Speaker 1: Brett Rippon. We have seen Paxton Lynch play quarterback, no 232 00:11:13,148 --> 00:11:17,228 Speaker 1: offense to Packiston Lynch. Everyone from Trevor Simeon to Kendall Hinton, 233 00:11:17,308 --> 00:11:20,668 Speaker 1: to Drew Locke to Joe Flacup. I'm out of breath 234 00:11:21,028 --> 00:11:24,428 Speaker 1: listing all of the quarterbacks. The Broncos have gotten their guy, 235 00:11:24,828 --> 00:11:27,628 Speaker 1: and the Broncos are going back to the playoffs because 236 00:11:27,668 --> 00:11:29,508 Speaker 1: of this guy. Denver is one of the best football 237 00:11:29,548 --> 00:11:32,948 Speaker 1: towns Denver. Denver is an awesome football town. It's been 238 00:11:33,068 --> 00:11:36,388 Speaker 1: silent for nearly seven years. It is time for the 239 00:11:36,508 --> 00:11:39,588 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos to rise up. It is time for the 240 00:11:39,668 --> 00:11:41,788 Speaker 1: city of Denver to not only just have an amazing 241 00:11:41,868 --> 00:11:44,668 Speaker 1: hockey and basketball team, but to have a football team 242 00:11:44,708 --> 00:11:48,068 Speaker 1: once again. I'm going with Russell Wilson and I will 243 00:11:48,108 --> 00:11:53,748 Speaker 1: give you two words. Let's ride, Let's go. Let's go, Jay, 244 00:11:54,108 --> 00:11:56,028 Speaker 1: come on now, it's time for my pick. When you 245 00:11:56,108 --> 00:11:58,988 Speaker 1: get to the mountaintop, it is hard to sustain. It 246 00:11:59,148 --> 00:12:02,148 Speaker 1: is hard to stay there. Everybody is climbing up and 247 00:12:02,228 --> 00:12:05,348 Speaker 1: they're all poland Clawn trying to knock you down. When 248 00:12:05,348 --> 00:12:09,708 Speaker 1: you're at the mountaintop, adversity comes. Things change, rosters change, 249 00:12:09,788 --> 00:12:12,948 Speaker 1: but you have to remain consistent. You have to perform 250 00:12:13,148 --> 00:12:17,428 Speaker 1: at an elite level and pull the guys along with you. 251 00:12:17,788 --> 00:12:21,068 Speaker 1: There is one guy this season, who has that opportunity. 252 00:12:21,228 --> 00:12:25,108 Speaker 1: With his performance, they will return to the mountaintop. They 253 00:12:25,148 --> 00:12:28,668 Speaker 1: will be as good as advertised because of this guy. 254 00:12:33,508 --> 00:12:37,348 Speaker 1: Guess we're all talking about Tyreek Hill is gone. We 255 00:12:37,548 --> 00:12:41,988 Speaker 1: all know that Travis Kelsey is still there. Patrick Mahomes 256 00:12:42,308 --> 00:12:45,428 Speaker 1: is still there. Oh, the division's got a lot better. Oh, 257 00:12:45,468 --> 00:12:48,668 Speaker 1: it's the hardest division in football. They have no chance. 258 00:12:48,708 --> 00:12:53,068 Speaker 1: They're gonna finish fourth place. They won't make the playoffs. 259 00:12:53,268 --> 00:12:56,228 Speaker 1: Some people said, we won't get into that. But Patrick 260 00:12:56,308 --> 00:12:58,348 Speaker 1: Mahomes is fired up. You want them to throw it 261 00:12:58,428 --> 00:13:02,268 Speaker 1: in the air. I want to see him. He is 262 00:13:02,308 --> 00:13:05,308 Speaker 1: going to get it done and envy pe season. Yes, 263 00:13:05,428 --> 00:13:08,028 Speaker 1: he's through for fifty touchdowns one year. He may not 264 00:13:08,108 --> 00:13:11,068 Speaker 1: get back to fifty. Maybe it's forty, maybe it's thirty eight. 265 00:13:11,268 --> 00:13:14,468 Speaker 1: Maybe it's only three interceptions this season. But whatever he does, 266 00:13:14,748 --> 00:13:18,588 Speaker 1: they will score touchdowns and Patrick Mahomes will be your 267 00:13:18,628 --> 00:13:24,828 Speaker 1: two thousand and twenty two grands Mahomes. All right, For 268 00:13:25,028 --> 00:13:29,268 Speaker 1: nine years, it's been quarterback, this quarterback that names that 269 00:13:29,388 --> 00:13:33,388 Speaker 1: you know, Aaron Rodgers, Kim Newton, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes. 270 00:13:33,468 --> 00:13:36,588 Speaker 1: I get it. The quarterback teams ride or die with 271 00:13:36,748 --> 00:13:39,428 Speaker 1: their guys, but I'm going one who runs for his 272 00:13:39,628 --> 00:13:49,628 Speaker 1: life every game, A pride of New Jersey, Oh, Wisconsin Badger, Indianapolis. Yeah, 273 00:13:50,068 --> 00:13:53,188 Speaker 1: let's go. I love it. The last time a running 274 00:13:53,188 --> 00:13:56,108 Speaker 1: back has won rushing titles and back to back years 275 00:13:56,228 --> 00:13:58,988 Speaker 1: in the last forty years Barry Sanders, Emmett Smith. And 276 00:13:59,068 --> 00:14:01,628 Speaker 1: it's gonna be Jonathan Taylor. He will lead the league 277 00:14:01,668 --> 00:14:04,828 Speaker 1: in rushing. He will be your MVP. I know Matt 278 00:14:04,908 --> 00:14:08,068 Speaker 1: Ryan is with the Colts, but this, this is the runner, 279 00:14:08,148 --> 00:14:10,788 Speaker 1: then this team will go off of last year the 280 00:14:10,908 --> 00:14:15,468 Speaker 1: most consecutive games, eight straight. He went one hundred plus 281 00:14:15,588 --> 00:14:18,348 Speaker 1: rushing yards and scored a rushing touchdown from Indianapolis Colts. 282 00:14:18,628 --> 00:14:21,148 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. I think he was robbed of an MVP 283 00:14:21,308 --> 00:14:23,708 Speaker 1: last year. He was voted Offensive Player of the Year 284 00:14:23,748 --> 00:14:26,188 Speaker 1: and that should tell you something. It's one step at 285 00:14:26,228 --> 00:14:29,548 Speaker 1: a time for the Wisconsin Badger, Salem, New Jersey. Jonathan 286 00:14:29,628 --> 00:14:36,388 Speaker 1: Taylor on Wisconsin. All right, the guy two AFC West quarterbacks, 287 00:14:36,668 --> 00:14:39,668 Speaker 1: a running back. I gotta bring us home. Come on, 288 00:14:39,988 --> 00:14:42,108 Speaker 1: you gotta study history with the MVP. It's just Jamie 289 00:14:42,148 --> 00:14:43,868 Speaker 1: just mentioned, you know the different running backs that have 290 00:14:43,988 --> 00:14:47,588 Speaker 1: won it. My favorite type of MVP comes up every 291 00:14:47,708 --> 00:14:51,428 Speaker 1: so often, and it's the totally unforeseen head scratcher, what 292 00:14:51,588 --> 00:14:53,868 Speaker 1: the heck type of MVP. Let me bring you back 293 00:14:53,868 --> 00:14:55,588 Speaker 1: a little bit. We're gonna go way back about twenty 294 00:14:55,668 --> 00:15:00,028 Speaker 1: years ago, two thousand and two NFL MVP Rich Cannon 295 00:15:00,268 --> 00:15:02,668 Speaker 1: now Rich Gannon's having a great career. He's moved around 296 00:15:02,668 --> 00:15:04,828 Speaker 1: a little bit, people respect him, and then out of 297 00:15:04,988 --> 00:15:08,268 Speaker 1: nowhere MVP. And there's always a recurring theme in the 298 00:15:08,348 --> 00:15:12,988 Speaker 1: in the head scratcher types. Right coach, right receivers, John 299 00:15:13,028 --> 00:15:17,148 Speaker 1: Gruden running the offense, You got Rice, you got Tim Brown, MVP. 300 00:15:17,868 --> 00:15:20,188 Speaker 1: Come with me if you will, to the year twenty sixteen. 301 00:15:20,828 --> 00:15:23,428 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's having a really nice career. People like him, 302 00:15:23,468 --> 00:15:29,188 Speaker 1: He's playing really well. MVP, right coach, right receivers, Kyle 303 00:15:29,308 --> 00:15:32,388 Speaker 1: Shanahan running the offense. We got Julio, we got everybody. 304 00:15:32,668 --> 00:15:35,388 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan wins the MVP. And that brings me to 305 00:15:35,548 --> 00:15:39,868 Speaker 1: this year's MVP selection. Are you ready for this? Ladies 306 00:15:39,908 --> 00:15:43,228 Speaker 1: and gentlemen, I see from a higher view of the 307 00:15:43,428 --> 00:15:46,228 Speaker 1: right coach and the right weapons, and I believe that 308 00:15:46,308 --> 00:15:49,228 Speaker 1: the MVP family is going to have a new family member. 309 00:15:49,388 --> 00:15:52,188 Speaker 1: They're gonna have a new brother. They're gonna have a 310 00:15:52,308 --> 00:15:55,788 Speaker 1: new cousin, and Cousins is gonna be the NFL MVP. 311 00:15:56,268 --> 00:15:58,548 Speaker 1: And you're damn right. I got this jersey tucked in 312 00:15:58,868 --> 00:16:03,988 Speaker 1: just like he wood, snacks and maps and an MVP trophy. 313 00:16:04,388 --> 00:16:08,228 Speaker 1: Are you ready for this? When SPF meets MVP, Kirk 314 00:16:08,268 --> 00:16:11,148 Speaker 1: Cousins is gonna take this thing. He has the weapons, 315 00:16:11,388 --> 00:16:13,868 Speaker 1: he has, the experience he has, the new coach is 316 00:16:13,908 --> 00:16:16,428 Speaker 1: gonna unlock the entire thing. And for those of you 317 00:16:16,428 --> 00:16:18,508 Speaker 1: who are saying he can't win the playoffs, he came 318 00:16:18,548 --> 00:16:20,948 Speaker 1: in to begin. It's a regular season award anyway. So 319 00:16:20,988 --> 00:16:23,628 Speaker 1: I got a backup like her Cousins with the tuck 320 00:16:23,708 --> 00:16:27,428 Speaker 1: ten jersey, skull bikes. Kirk, I love you. I see 321 00:16:27,468 --> 00:16:29,948 Speaker 1: you blast the creed and drive the minivan. We're winning 322 00:16:29,948 --> 00:16:38,028 Speaker 1: the MVPIX three quarterbacks and the running back. Would it 323 00:16:38,108 --> 00:16:46,628 Speaker 1: be in a row for a quarterback or for Derek Carr? 324 00:16:46,908 --> 00:16:48,828 Speaker 1: Coming up? A lot of questions will be answer in 325 00:16:48,868 --> 00:16:51,588 Speaker 1: week one. Will the biggest one be about Trey Lance? 326 00:16:51,748 --> 00:16:53,508 Speaker 1: We need some answers about this guy, don't we? I mean, 327 00:16:53,548 --> 00:16:55,428 Speaker 1: can we all agree on that? So many questions, so 328 00:16:55,428 --> 00:16:58,828 Speaker 1: a few answers but the answers Trey Lancetock coming up. 329 00:17:12,548 --> 00:17:15,308 Speaker 1: We've got a fantastic week once late on Monday, on 330 00:17:15,468 --> 00:17:17,988 Speaker 1: Sunday and Monday to look forward to, including one of 331 00:17:18,028 --> 00:17:21,148 Speaker 1: the more intriguing quarterback matchups in Trey Lance in the 332 00:17:21,228 --> 00:17:24,748 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers against Justin Fields in Chicago. Bears head 333 00:17:24,788 --> 00:17:27,388 Speaker 1: coach Matt Even, who spoke yesterday about he is game 334 00:17:27,468 --> 00:17:29,668 Speaker 1: planning for Trade Lance despite not having a lot of 335 00:17:29,708 --> 00:17:33,068 Speaker 1: film to work with. You're projecting a little bit. You 336 00:17:33,188 --> 00:17:35,148 Speaker 1: have to project of how they're going to use the 337 00:17:35,228 --> 00:17:37,148 Speaker 1: young man and where they're going to use them in 338 00:17:37,228 --> 00:17:39,788 Speaker 1: their offense. You know, we certainly have an idea of 339 00:17:39,948 --> 00:17:42,108 Speaker 1: what the offense looks like, but how they're going to 340 00:17:42,188 --> 00:17:43,708 Speaker 1: use him, no one really knows. So you've got to 341 00:17:43,708 --> 00:17:46,668 Speaker 1: really use your rules and have your calls and make 342 00:17:46,668 --> 00:17:49,308 Speaker 1: sure your sound and what you're doing. So he's a 343 00:17:49,348 --> 00:17:52,468 Speaker 1: pivotal player, but he's unknown Trey Lance. This character is 344 00:17:52,708 --> 00:17:55,308 Speaker 1: Is he the biggest mystery character in our mind as 345 00:17:55,388 --> 00:17:58,508 Speaker 1: we head into this season? Absolutely? And I can't wait, 346 00:17:58,628 --> 00:18:01,068 Speaker 1: Like I think that Sunday Fox game between the Bears 347 00:18:01,108 --> 00:18:02,348 Speaker 1: and the forty nine Ers, whether or not you think 348 00:18:02,348 --> 00:18:03,588 Speaker 1: they're going to the Super Bowl might be the most 349 00:18:03,628 --> 00:18:06,228 Speaker 1: intriguing game on the entire slate because there is such 350 00:18:06,428 --> 00:18:08,748 Speaker 1: an unknown for a team that went to the NFC 351 00:18:08,948 --> 00:18:11,908 Speaker 1: Championship last year, dropping this young man into the starting 352 00:18:11,988 --> 00:18:14,308 Speaker 1: lineup and saying you have veteran players around you. I mean, 353 00:18:14,348 --> 00:18:15,788 Speaker 1: like Trent Williams doesn't want to be playing for a 354 00:18:16,028 --> 00:18:17,548 Speaker 1: ten years to look for this. This is his year 355 00:18:17,588 --> 00:18:20,428 Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl. Kittle contract situation, this is 356 00:18:20,468 --> 00:18:22,908 Speaker 1: his year for that Super Bowl debot. All these guys 357 00:18:23,108 --> 00:18:25,308 Speaker 1: and they've there loaded all these positions and there's this 358 00:18:25,508 --> 00:18:29,708 Speaker 1: giant unknown at quarterback. I'm wearing this Russell Wilson jersey. 359 00:18:29,748 --> 00:18:32,268 Speaker 1: There are questions about whether the Broncos can all step up, 360 00:18:32,308 --> 00:18:34,908 Speaker 1: like every team has questions, but there is no bigger 361 00:18:35,028 --> 00:18:37,508 Speaker 1: question than whether Trey Lance can play at the level 362 00:18:37,548 --> 00:18:40,668 Speaker 1: that is necessary to not only be better than Jimmy Garoppolo, 363 00:18:40,788 --> 00:18:42,788 Speaker 1: but to be better than a Matt Stafford, or be 364 00:18:42,828 --> 00:18:46,428 Speaker 1: better than an Aaron Rodgers, or better in that conference 365 00:18:46,588 --> 00:18:49,268 Speaker 1: than the top quarterbacks that are going to be looking 366 00:18:49,348 --> 00:18:51,548 Speaker 1: for their chance to go to a super Bowl. He 367 00:18:51,708 --> 00:18:53,868 Speaker 1: wasn't great last year, Guys. I watched these games and 368 00:18:53,908 --> 00:18:56,028 Speaker 1: then this offseason, a lot of time in my hands. 369 00:18:56,308 --> 00:18:58,428 Speaker 1: I watched him like he won a game against the 370 00:18:58,468 --> 00:19:01,828 Speaker 1: Texans and struggled really mightily against the Cardinals. Here was 371 00:19:01,988 --> 00:19:05,268 Speaker 1: inaccurate as hack And then there was like this big pushback, 372 00:19:05,468 --> 00:19:07,108 Speaker 1: like you don't know what you're talking about. You know, 373 00:19:07,188 --> 00:19:09,388 Speaker 1: he actually was good last year. He made plays, but 374 00:19:09,508 --> 00:19:11,668 Speaker 1: like certainly didn't put it on film where you're like, 375 00:19:12,028 --> 00:19:15,308 Speaker 1: slam dunk, this is the next Patrick Holmes or slam dunk. 376 00:19:15,388 --> 00:19:17,708 Speaker 1: This guy is better than Garoppolo. What a roll the 377 00:19:17,748 --> 00:19:19,388 Speaker 1: dice it was to go up and trade for him, 378 00:19:19,428 --> 00:19:20,788 Speaker 1: and now what a roll the dice it is to 379 00:19:20,828 --> 00:19:22,708 Speaker 1: double down and say he's the guy. And the fact 380 00:19:22,788 --> 00:19:25,668 Speaker 1: that they resigned Jimmy, which made sense in real time, 381 00:19:26,228 --> 00:19:29,148 Speaker 1: it only is this hovering situation. I mean, I can't 382 00:19:29,188 --> 00:19:34,068 Speaker 1: remember a more enigmatics, not the word, a bigger unknown 383 00:19:34,388 --> 00:19:37,508 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position for a team more capable of 384 00:19:37,628 --> 00:19:40,028 Speaker 1: leading a Super Bowl, right, Yeah, like the Ravens came 385 00:19:40,028 --> 00:19:42,548 Speaker 1: out of nowhere with Trent Dilfer than they were like 386 00:19:42,588 --> 00:19:44,108 Speaker 1: we're gonna go with gerback like whatever it was. You 387 00:19:44,148 --> 00:19:46,108 Speaker 1: can go back in time, but I don't think there 388 00:19:46,188 --> 00:19:48,028 Speaker 1: was ever a question mark like that's going into a season. 389 00:19:48,108 --> 00:19:50,908 Speaker 1: Every position there is loaded, and it makes you kind 390 00:19:50,948 --> 00:19:55,228 Speaker 1: of wonder he didn't really do anything to overtake Jimmy Garoppolo, 391 00:19:55,308 --> 00:19:58,668 Speaker 1: which leads to the biggest mystery in the NFL headed 392 00:19:58,708 --> 00:20:02,428 Speaker 1: into Week one is what is the deal with Jimmy Garoppolo? 393 00:20:02,828 --> 00:20:05,268 Speaker 1: And you know San Francisco isn't planning to do this. 394 00:20:05,388 --> 00:20:07,708 Speaker 1: We talked about it. They had Nate Southville, he had 395 00:20:07,788 --> 00:20:10,788 Speaker 1: two million dollars guarantee to now go and join the 396 00:20:10,948 --> 00:20:13,748 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. I'm wondering, and a lot of people in 397 00:20:13,828 --> 00:20:16,628 Speaker 1: the NFL are wondering what's gonna happen with Jimmy G 398 00:20:17,028 --> 00:20:19,708 Speaker 1: sitting on that bench. How much leadway does Trey Lance 399 00:20:19,788 --> 00:20:21,708 Speaker 1: have If he goes out there and he's not good 400 00:20:21,748 --> 00:20:24,468 Speaker 1: in the first game, the first two games, the first half, 401 00:20:24,588 --> 00:20:27,348 Speaker 1: at what point does the team turn and possibly look 402 00:20:27,428 --> 00:20:29,108 Speaker 1: for Jimmy G to go into the game. And I 403 00:20:29,188 --> 00:20:31,108 Speaker 1: think a lot of the points Peter may go a 404 00:20:31,228 --> 00:20:33,348 Speaker 1: long way. This is a team that's stacked. They have 405 00:20:33,508 --> 00:20:36,068 Speaker 1: the defense. They were in the conference championship game last year. 406 00:20:36,108 --> 00:20:38,388 Speaker 1: So you have to think about it. If this season 407 00:20:38,548 --> 00:20:41,108 Speaker 1: isn't going the way they plan, if Trey Lance isn't 408 00:20:41,148 --> 00:20:43,388 Speaker 1: playing the way they plan. The mystery is going to 409 00:20:43,548 --> 00:20:45,948 Speaker 1: be after the first game, Kyle Shanahan comes in for 410 00:20:46,028 --> 00:20:48,428 Speaker 1: his press conference, Hey, Trey Lanz didn't play well? Hey, 411 00:20:48,628 --> 00:20:51,308 Speaker 1: did you consider going with Jimmy G at halftime? Hey? 412 00:20:51,468 --> 00:20:53,788 Speaker 1: That interception he through in the fourth quarter in Week four? 413 00:20:53,948 --> 00:20:55,668 Speaker 1: Did you think about late in that game kind of 414 00:20:55,708 --> 00:20:57,908 Speaker 1: giving Jimmy G a chance to spark the offense? So, 415 00:20:58,068 --> 00:21:00,748 Speaker 1: for me, the mystery is going to be how not 416 00:21:00,908 --> 00:21:03,708 Speaker 1: only the coaching staff handles Jimmy G being on that bench, 417 00:21:03,868 --> 00:21:06,508 Speaker 1: but how do the players, How does the organization? How 418 00:21:06,588 --> 00:21:09,148 Speaker 1: do the fans handle it? Will people be yelling for 419 00:21:09,268 --> 00:21:12,708 Speaker 1: Jimmy Ge to enter that game? Mystery to me implies 420 00:21:12,788 --> 00:21:14,988 Speaker 1: that there are more questions than answers, and tree Lance 421 00:21:15,068 --> 00:21:18,788 Speaker 1: absolutely falls into that category. There are other situations across 422 00:21:18,828 --> 00:21:21,388 Speaker 1: the league where this applies. But Peter, I'm curious about 423 00:21:21,548 --> 00:21:23,268 Speaker 1: the film that you did watch, because my take was 424 00:21:23,348 --> 00:21:25,828 Speaker 1: essentially going to be we haven't heard out of this 425 00:21:26,068 --> 00:21:28,748 Speaker 1: world this way or that way about tree Lance. It's 426 00:21:28,908 --> 00:21:31,028 Speaker 1: very much like, well we'll see, well, we'll see, But 427 00:21:31,108 --> 00:21:33,348 Speaker 1: you're saying that you feel like you have seen and 428 00:21:33,428 --> 00:21:36,268 Speaker 1: it hasn't been convincing. So is the answer to this 429 00:21:36,388 --> 00:21:38,948 Speaker 1: question that Kyle Shanahan is convinced because of what he 430 00:21:39,028 --> 00:21:41,628 Speaker 1: is able to now put into the offense. But he 431 00:21:41,668 --> 00:21:43,028 Speaker 1: couldn't just do it on a drop of a hat 432 00:21:43,108 --> 00:21:45,388 Speaker 1: last year in one game. It's absolutely it. He played 433 00:21:45,468 --> 00:21:47,988 Speaker 1: one game in twelve months at North Dakota State and 434 00:21:48,108 --> 00:21:49,148 Speaker 1: they were like, all right, we need to get you 435 00:21:49,228 --> 00:21:51,828 Speaker 1: onto the field. He wasn't supposed to play last Right now, 436 00:21:51,908 --> 00:21:54,708 Speaker 1: the thought is full year under his belt, offseason where 437 00:21:54,708 --> 00:21:56,668 Speaker 1: he was the leader, he's going to be far better. 438 00:21:57,548 --> 00:21:59,748 Speaker 1: You're doing that on speculation. And you have to trust 439 00:21:59,908 --> 00:22:02,708 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan. Y think you have to you do, And 440 00:22:02,788 --> 00:22:05,788 Speaker 1: he hasn't done much to have us deny that trust, 441 00:22:05,908 --> 00:22:08,388 Speaker 1: have us not put that faith in that he knows 442 00:22:08,428 --> 00:22:11,068 Speaker 1: the system that he finds will be most successful for 443 00:22:11,148 --> 00:22:12,908 Speaker 1: this team and the makeup of this team. And if 444 00:22:12,988 --> 00:22:14,828 Speaker 1: he feels like he has found the guy, it sounds 445 00:22:14,868 --> 00:22:16,548 Speaker 1: like he's gonna fall on that sword if he really 446 00:22:16,588 --> 00:22:20,548 Speaker 1: has to. But mystery more questions than answer absolutely Tree 447 00:22:20,588 --> 00:22:22,948 Speaker 1: lance for me three for three, Kyle, what do you think? Well, 448 00:22:23,028 --> 00:22:25,428 Speaker 1: one thing Jason said triggered me because we've all entertained 449 00:22:25,468 --> 00:22:27,828 Speaker 1: this possibility of, Oh, if he's just crashes and burns, 450 00:22:27,868 --> 00:22:30,588 Speaker 1: you put Garoppolo in, But that's not likely. What's more 451 00:22:30,708 --> 00:22:32,828 Speaker 1: likely is the one you said where the offense is 452 00:22:32,828 --> 00:22:35,028 Speaker 1: just flat, and do you go to Jimmy midgame to 453 00:22:35,028 --> 00:22:37,468 Speaker 1: give him a boost? And whoever it is Greg Olsen 454 00:22:37,548 --> 00:22:38,908 Speaker 1: on the call, they start saying, I don't know, I 455 00:22:39,028 --> 00:22:40,828 Speaker 1: might get Jimmy warming up and a lot of three 456 00:22:40,868 --> 00:22:42,948 Speaker 1: and outs. That's so dangerous. I hate that because that 457 00:22:42,988 --> 00:22:44,868 Speaker 1: one's so much more likely than him just being terrible. 458 00:22:44,908 --> 00:22:46,508 Speaker 1: There was a Nick Foles Bears team a couple of 459 00:22:46,588 --> 00:22:49,148 Speaker 1: years ago where Trubisky was like okay, and then they're like, 460 00:22:49,428 --> 00:22:52,188 Speaker 1: he's waiting, we gotta get super Bowl and that kind 461 00:22:52,188 --> 00:22:54,188 Speaker 1: of ruins I mean, and then you get that television 462 00:22:54,228 --> 00:22:56,388 Speaker 1: shot really the same, I know, no, it really is. 463 00:22:56,748 --> 00:22:58,548 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna take a sharp left turn into and 464 00:22:58,588 --> 00:23:00,588 Speaker 1: we're talking about mysteries and what the heck is going 465 00:23:00,588 --> 00:23:02,108 Speaker 1: on with Tree Lance, what the heck is going on 466 00:23:02,188 --> 00:23:04,268 Speaker 1: with this year's Patriots? Well, what are we getting? We're 467 00:23:04,468 --> 00:23:06,908 Speaker 1: few days away they're taking on them, also an equally 468 00:23:07,028 --> 00:23:09,908 Speaker 1: mysterious Dolphins team, And it's the perfect week to bring 469 00:23:09,948 --> 00:23:12,428 Speaker 1: it up because the Pats are getting no love, guys 470 00:23:12,668 --> 00:23:14,428 Speaker 1: from in the people. What we do in the division 471 00:23:14,508 --> 00:23:16,548 Speaker 1: picks and the wild card picks. They're just not out there. 472 00:23:16,588 --> 00:23:18,428 Speaker 1: And I'm trying to put my finger on why they 473 00:23:18,548 --> 00:23:20,548 Speaker 1: got their doors blown off in a playoff game by 474 00:23:20,588 --> 00:23:23,308 Speaker 1: a great Bills team. But they were in a playoff 475 00:23:23,388 --> 00:23:26,388 Speaker 1: game with a rookie quarterback. And okay, they didn't add 476 00:23:26,468 --> 00:23:28,148 Speaker 1: Davante Adams in the off season. That's not really what 477 00:23:28,228 --> 00:23:33,388 Speaker 1: they do. I need a little more than uncertainty offensive coordinator. 478 00:23:33,508 --> 00:23:35,948 Speaker 1: Just start tearing down when Bill Belichick has done for 479 00:23:36,028 --> 00:23:38,308 Speaker 1: twenty years for me, I don't have in the playoffs either. 480 00:23:38,348 --> 00:23:40,508 Speaker 1: I'm not casting stones. I don't either. And it's more 481 00:23:40,548 --> 00:23:42,588 Speaker 1: of this factor of I just don't have a spot 482 00:23:42,708 --> 00:23:45,348 Speaker 1: for you. There's so many shiny toys here that I 483 00:23:45,388 --> 00:23:46,988 Speaker 1: have to put in. But I think this is interesting. 484 00:23:47,068 --> 00:23:48,508 Speaker 1: And Jason, I looked to you and I'm not doing 485 00:23:48,588 --> 00:23:51,388 Speaker 1: stick here. Jason, not only is your brother a member 486 00:23:51,428 --> 00:23:53,508 Speaker 1: of this team. You want a Super Bowl with this team. 487 00:23:53,628 --> 00:23:55,548 Speaker 1: You know this team inside and out. You didn't pick 488 00:23:55,588 --> 00:23:57,028 Speaker 1: them to win the division, you didn't pick them for 489 00:23:57,028 --> 00:23:58,588 Speaker 1: a wild card, and you said at the end of 490 00:23:58,628 --> 00:24:00,468 Speaker 1: the show, you're like, I didn't even think about it. 491 00:24:00,668 --> 00:24:03,428 Speaker 1: How are you that certain with what they've built over 492 00:24:03,588 --> 00:24:06,148 Speaker 1: twenty plus years that this year's this isn't going to 493 00:24:06,188 --> 00:24:08,108 Speaker 1: be the year. I think there are other teams that 494 00:24:08,188 --> 00:24:10,348 Speaker 1: I like more, and I think what they've done over 495 00:24:10,428 --> 00:24:13,068 Speaker 1: the past twenty years is truly remarkable, but it has 496 00:24:13,348 --> 00:24:16,788 Speaker 1: no implications on the two and twenty two season. Bill 497 00:24:16,828 --> 00:24:19,548 Speaker 1: Belichick will tell you that firsthand, nobody cares what you 498 00:24:19,628 --> 00:24:22,148 Speaker 1: did yesterday, a year ago, two years ago, how many 499 00:24:22,188 --> 00:24:24,628 Speaker 1: Super Bowls you want, it doesn't matter. And going into 500 00:24:24,748 --> 00:24:27,228 Speaker 1: Week one, there are a ton of question marks. We've 501 00:24:27,228 --> 00:24:29,748 Speaker 1: watched them in the preseason. The starters have played. It 502 00:24:29,908 --> 00:24:32,468 Speaker 1: doesn't look great. I'm not saying, hey, they may be 503 00:24:32,548 --> 00:24:34,988 Speaker 1: able to get there. Who knows as the season develops 504 00:24:35,068 --> 00:24:37,028 Speaker 1: what they're able to do and the improvement they're able 505 00:24:37,068 --> 00:24:38,788 Speaker 1: to make. But right now, as I'm looking at the 506 00:24:38,908 --> 00:24:41,188 Speaker 1: rosters of some of these other teams, in the AFC, 507 00:24:41,588 --> 00:24:44,108 Speaker 1: is going to be an uphill battle. And in the division, 508 00:24:44,148 --> 00:24:46,348 Speaker 1: I mean, Josh Allen, the Buffalo Bills are just that 509 00:24:46,508 --> 00:24:51,868 Speaker 1: good time for waitboard Wednesday. The Bucks offensive line has 510 00:24:51,908 --> 00:24:54,988 Speaker 1: been a huge this offseason. Tom Brady is making sure 511 00:24:55,068 --> 00:24:58,268 Speaker 1: They're all aware of the chatter, giving them some wayboard material, 512 00:24:58,388 --> 00:25:01,308 Speaker 1: if you will. Brady's telling them every time someone says you, so, 513 00:25:01,588 --> 00:25:04,628 Speaker 1: could you do anything? He shows them the material. The 514 00:25:04,708 --> 00:25:08,028 Speaker 1: player or team that you think will silence the critics. 515 00:25:08,228 --> 00:25:11,668 Speaker 1: In week one will be Peter Schrigger. Do you know 516 00:25:11,748 --> 00:25:14,308 Speaker 1: we've got Brandon Marshall coming on the show later today, Brad, 517 00:25:14,348 --> 00:25:17,268 Speaker 1: I have heard the former NFL wide receiver who we 518 00:25:17,428 --> 00:25:20,228 Speaker 1: all hold in very high esteem, or this jew jersey 519 00:25:20,308 --> 00:25:22,348 Speaker 1: for many, many years, he does this thing where he 520 00:25:22,428 --> 00:25:24,988 Speaker 1: has every wide receiver list his top five list, and 521 00:25:25,068 --> 00:25:27,588 Speaker 1: it became just fodder this summer. And do you know 522 00:25:27,668 --> 00:25:30,708 Speaker 1: whose name wasn't even whispered mentioned anything, and who has 523 00:25:30,748 --> 00:25:34,988 Speaker 1: been kind of off the grid, Michael Thomas. Michael Thomas 524 00:25:35,468 --> 00:25:38,548 Speaker 1: broke the record for most catches in a season in 525 00:25:38,628 --> 00:25:41,388 Speaker 1: the history of the NFL less than three years ago. 526 00:25:41,908 --> 00:25:46,948 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas is apparently healthy. Michael Thomas is apparently motivated. 527 00:25:47,348 --> 00:25:50,148 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas is apparently not included in any of these 528 00:25:50,228 --> 00:25:53,468 Speaker 1: top lists, not even mentioned, not even a whisperer of 529 00:25:53,588 --> 00:25:56,268 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas's name anywhere. He's going in like the tenth 530 00:25:56,388 --> 00:25:59,788 Speaker 1: round of Fantasy Football drafts and well, that's a Chris Olava. 531 00:25:59,828 --> 00:26:02,268 Speaker 1: It's going to be the lead guy. Remember what a 532 00:26:02,388 --> 00:26:05,188 Speaker 1: beast Michael Thomas was. Got that the Red Cross next 533 00:26:05,228 --> 00:26:07,388 Speaker 1: to his name. It scares me. Hey, red Cross, we 534 00:26:07,468 --> 00:26:10,708 Speaker 1: love that organization and I love Michael Thomas as we 535 00:26:10,748 --> 00:26:12,348 Speaker 1: love the Red Cross. If you can donate here, Um, 536 00:26:12,548 --> 00:26:14,828 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas is my guy. I think he's in. Silence critics. 537 00:26:14,868 --> 00:26:16,868 Speaker 1: We're gonna have a big bounce back here, Michael Thomas, 538 00:26:16,948 --> 00:26:19,788 Speaker 1: I see you. I'm going with a guy who as 539 00:26:19,988 --> 00:26:24,148 Speaker 1: an Instagram star. He started up this offseason and we 540 00:26:24,228 --> 00:26:26,548 Speaker 1: didn't even give it is just do because all we 541 00:26:26,708 --> 00:26:31,068 Speaker 1: talked about was his elbow. I'm going with Matthew Stafford. 542 00:26:31,148 --> 00:26:34,988 Speaker 1: He's a guy. Silence all the critics. Tomorrow night, Prime 543 00:26:35,188 --> 00:26:38,628 Speaker 1: Time against the all world Buffalo Bills. I'm fired up 544 00:26:38,668 --> 00:26:40,828 Speaker 1: and I think he gets it done. A regular hangover 545 00:26:40,948 --> 00:26:43,308 Speaker 1: is worse than a super Bowl hangover. The Cincinnati Bengals, 546 00:26:43,468 --> 00:26:45,748 Speaker 1: like I cannot believe the heat that they are getting. 547 00:26:45,988 --> 00:26:48,268 Speaker 1: You know, you're you're not You're gonna fall flat. You're 548 00:26:48,308 --> 00:26:49,908 Speaker 1: just in a super Bowl, you played your way in 549 00:26:50,068 --> 00:26:51,468 Speaker 1: and it's just gonna it's not gonna go back to 550 00:26:51,508 --> 00:26:53,428 Speaker 1: the way it was. Yes, it can. And you know 551 00:26:53,508 --> 00:26:55,548 Speaker 1: what can be convincing is that if you have a 552 00:26:55,628 --> 00:26:58,948 Speaker 1: win against a really, really solid team in the Pittsburgh Steelers, 553 00:26:59,148 --> 00:27:01,308 Speaker 1: and you don't have to be spectacular, don't blow us 554 00:27:01,348 --> 00:27:03,948 Speaker 1: out of the water. Be the Cincinnati Bengals. Beat him, 555 00:27:04,508 --> 00:27:07,868 Speaker 1: beat him confidently, beat him comfortably, and you're good. You'll 556 00:27:07,908 --> 00:27:10,908 Speaker 1: silence anybody about this whole Super Bowl hangover. I love him. 557 00:27:11,228 --> 00:27:13,628 Speaker 1: Yesterday I picked the Sansisco forty nine Ers to not 558 00:27:13,708 --> 00:27:16,188 Speaker 1: only make the playoffs, but to win the NFC West outright, 559 00:27:16,268 --> 00:27:17,868 Speaker 1: And yet I look at their Week one opponent and 560 00:27:17,948 --> 00:27:19,988 Speaker 1: this is my prediction, Chicago Bears one or no. I 561 00:27:19,988 --> 00:27:22,628 Speaker 1: think the Bears won against the sans forty nine. Really 562 00:27:22,668 --> 00:27:24,348 Speaker 1: interesting things going on with the Bears right now. One, 563 00:27:24,468 --> 00:27:26,348 Speaker 1: they're looked at as the thirty second team in the league. 564 00:27:26,428 --> 00:27:28,148 Speaker 1: Dan hansis on this network even has him ranked the 565 00:27:28,228 --> 00:27:32,828 Speaker 1: lowest and his power rankings. There's an unsettledness, uncertainty in Chicago. 566 00:27:33,228 --> 00:27:35,748 Speaker 1: Who is this, Mattibrafluce, what are we doing with fields? 567 00:27:36,188 --> 00:27:38,228 Speaker 1: What in the hell is going on with the stadium? 568 00:27:38,308 --> 00:27:40,108 Speaker 1: Like this is a massive story in Chicago with the 569 00:27:40,148 --> 00:27:41,988 Speaker 1: soldier field might become a thing of the past. There's 570 00:27:41,988 --> 00:27:44,908 Speaker 1: an unrest there, and I think the Bears are going 571 00:27:44,988 --> 00:27:46,308 Speaker 1: to be able to channel some of that, some of 572 00:27:46,348 --> 00:27:49,068 Speaker 1: that nervous energy, some of that disrespect. Trey Lance, as 573 00:27:49,108 --> 00:27:52,308 Speaker 1: we know unbelievably inexperienced. Justice Fields is way more experience 574 00:27:52,348 --> 00:27:53,588 Speaker 1: than he does, and he'll be the guy in the 575 00:27:53,668 --> 00:27:54,948 Speaker 1: in the field I think is gonna win this game. 576 00:27:54,988 --> 00:27:56,508 Speaker 1: I think the Bears are gonna shock the Niners in 577 00:27:56,548 --> 00:27:57,788 Speaker 1: week one to go one to no and answer a 578 00:27:57,828 --> 00:28:00,508 Speaker 1: lot of critics if that happens. Yeah, you're already sick 579 00:28:00,548 --> 00:28:04,628 Speaker 1: of talking about the forty Niners quarterback rooms so much 580 00:28:04,668 --> 00:28:06,588 Speaker 1: that I'm sick of it. I have nothing left to 581 00:28:06,668 --> 00:28:09,068 Speaker 1: say of Free Lance. I've emptied the bad guys. I 582 00:28:09,108 --> 00:28:10,908 Speaker 1: got no new takes. I guess I should be fired. 583 00:28:11,028 --> 00:28:13,868 Speaker 1: We'll have a reaction on Monday morning. Either way, I'll 584 00:28:13,868 --> 00:28:16,948 Speaker 1: be good. Have a game. I got nothing at this point. Nothing. 585 00:28:30,628 --> 00:28:33,708 Speaker 1: Let's talk about moments that matter. Is presented by Expedia. 586 00:28:34,188 --> 00:28:37,828 Speaker 1: The movie Don't Worry Darling, directed by Olivia Wilde, premiered 587 00:28:37,908 --> 00:28:39,908 Speaker 1: this week at the Venice Film Festival, has been all 588 00:28:39,988 --> 00:28:42,428 Speaker 1: the rage of the Internet. The title itself really saying 589 00:28:42,508 --> 00:28:44,308 Speaker 1: to us, and it had us thinking of all the 590 00:28:44,468 --> 00:28:47,228 Speaker 1: NFL fans out there who maybe feeling a little anxious 591 00:28:47,308 --> 00:28:50,108 Speaker 1: heading into the twenty twenty two season. We're here to 592 00:28:50,228 --> 00:28:53,988 Speaker 1: tell you that there's nothing to worry about. Here's how 593 00:28:54,028 --> 00:28:55,788 Speaker 1: we're going to do this. I'm going to present a 594 00:28:55,948 --> 00:28:57,748 Speaker 1: team or you guys are going to present it to me, 595 00:28:57,868 --> 00:29:00,148 Speaker 1: and you're going to tell the audience why this fan 596 00:29:00,268 --> 00:29:03,908 Speaker 1: base has no reason to worry. Darling, tell us why 597 00:29:04,508 --> 00:29:08,308 Speaker 1: start this off as we shall with mister Harry styles 598 00:29:08,388 --> 00:29:13,668 Speaker 1: himself Ran Panthers fans don't worry. I think maybe I 599 00:29:13,668 --> 00:29:15,748 Speaker 1: don't know. It's really is Baker really going to be 600 00:29:15,828 --> 00:29:18,108 Speaker 1: that good? Baker is that good? It's hard for me 601 00:29:18,188 --> 00:29:20,228 Speaker 1: to channel my soothing voice. It's not usually how I roll, 602 00:29:20,348 --> 00:29:21,948 Speaker 1: but he really is. And I'll tell you physically, you 603 00:29:21,988 --> 00:29:23,668 Speaker 1: can take that aside. We know he's number one overall, 604 00:29:23,708 --> 00:29:25,268 Speaker 1: pick out a cannon for an arm, moves to pocket 605 00:29:25,308 --> 00:29:27,428 Speaker 1: all that stuff. Mentally is where you want Baker lockdown. 606 00:29:27,428 --> 00:29:28,948 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you've heard this. With Baker's playing 607 00:29:28,948 --> 00:29:31,268 Speaker 1: against his former team in Week one in your home stadium, 608 00:29:31,508 --> 00:29:33,988 Speaker 1: and there are certain athletes who get rattled. There're certain 609 00:29:34,028 --> 00:29:36,028 Speaker 1: athletes who can't handle it. When the pressure is higher, 610 00:29:36,068 --> 00:29:38,588 Speaker 1: it gets personal. That's where you want Baker, you know 611 00:29:38,588 --> 00:29:40,668 Speaker 1: how personal it is. Have you seen that Baker is 612 00:29:40,788 --> 00:29:43,788 Speaker 1: pushing T shirts about this matchup. We have not talked 613 00:29:43,788 --> 00:29:47,148 Speaker 1: about this on this program. That thing says Baker Mayfield 614 00:29:47,268 --> 00:29:50,388 Speaker 1: off the leash, in which it has a broken chain, 615 00:29:50,628 --> 00:29:53,028 Speaker 1: a dog collar, and this is not some you know 616 00:29:53,388 --> 00:29:57,148 Speaker 1: SB Nation Panther's team. Blah blah blah blah. Baker's pushing 617 00:29:57,228 --> 00:30:00,348 Speaker 1: this himself. He's saying, get this T shirt. I'm off 618 00:30:00,388 --> 00:30:03,388 Speaker 1: the leash. It's time for me to realize my full potential. 619 00:30:03,788 --> 00:30:06,748 Speaker 1: It's real like a Rolling Stones album. Go to Baker 620 00:30:06,788 --> 00:30:09,668 Speaker 1: Mayfield's Twitter, he says, this is the only legitimate tshirts 621 00:30:10,228 --> 00:30:12,428 Speaker 1: Off the Leash. I didn't I hope I went for free. 622 00:30:13,228 --> 00:30:15,668 Speaker 1: Now I love it. I can't guarantee. If I was 623 00:30:15,708 --> 00:30:18,908 Speaker 1: advising Miles Garrett, I would say, Miles, show up on Sunday. 624 00:30:19,268 --> 00:30:21,868 Speaker 1: Do your walk from the bus with a leash, a 625 00:30:22,028 --> 00:30:24,868 Speaker 1: long leash, those retractable ones with the thumb thing and 626 00:30:24,948 --> 00:30:26,708 Speaker 1: the blue bag of crap on the bottoms. You can 627 00:30:26,748 --> 00:30:28,708 Speaker 1: put all the Bakers playing, all his fumbles in there. 628 00:30:28,788 --> 00:30:31,788 Speaker 1: Patterson's supposed to be coming you down. Baker's locked in psychologically, 629 00:30:31,948 --> 00:30:34,228 Speaker 1: He's healthy physically. He's gonna put on a show this weekend. 630 00:30:34,348 --> 00:30:36,468 Speaker 1: Don't worry. I can see it coming up, but I 631 00:30:36,628 --> 00:30:39,508 Speaker 1: enjoined it for me. It's fan base. I want to tell, 632 00:30:40,028 --> 00:30:44,188 Speaker 1: don't worry, it's going to be okay, told my Bears 633 00:30:44,308 --> 00:30:47,348 Speaker 1: fans and the Wendy City. I know you're a little worried. 634 00:30:47,468 --> 00:30:50,708 Speaker 1: I mean, justin fields was it gonna be? But look 635 00:30:50,748 --> 00:30:53,588 Speaker 1: at here, Look at here. The Cincinnati Bengals, they were 636 00:30:53,668 --> 00:30:56,308 Speaker 1: drafting in the first round for a while, pretty high up. 637 00:30:56,748 --> 00:31:00,268 Speaker 1: Jonah Williams in twenty nineteen, Joe Burrowing twenty twenty, then 638 00:31:00,388 --> 00:31:02,868 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase in twenty one. They went to a Super 639 00:31:02,908 --> 00:31:05,388 Speaker 1: Bowl after that. This past year they drafted Jackson Hill. 640 00:31:05,628 --> 00:31:09,108 Speaker 1: Jonah Williams played ninety six percent of their plays this 641 00:31:09,348 --> 00:31:11,228 Speaker 1: past season to lead them to the Super Bowl. We 642 00:31:11,348 --> 00:31:15,068 Speaker 1: already know about Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase. Bears fans 643 00:31:15,428 --> 00:31:18,348 Speaker 1: play the long game. Don't sit there and get worked 644 00:31:18,428 --> 00:31:21,068 Speaker 1: up every single Sunday. If things don't go the way 645 00:31:21,108 --> 00:31:24,148 Speaker 1: you want them to go. Just know you're head coach 646 00:31:24,228 --> 00:31:27,148 Speaker 1: and your GM they have a plan, there's a future 647 00:31:27,228 --> 00:31:29,948 Speaker 1: in place. Sometimes you have to go through some rough 648 00:31:30,068 --> 00:31:34,068 Speaker 1: times for the major comeback, the setback for the major comeback, 649 00:31:34,428 --> 00:31:38,148 Speaker 1: Bears fans embrace it. Kyle convinced them is going to 650 00:31:38,348 --> 00:31:41,308 Speaker 1: be okay. It just takes a little bit of time. 651 00:31:41,668 --> 00:31:45,428 Speaker 1: Don't worry, darling. I love that It's good. I went 652 00:31:45,468 --> 00:31:47,108 Speaker 1: with the lavender shirt today. We had to change out 653 00:31:47,108 --> 00:31:48,748 Speaker 1: of our jerseys because I had to go back to 654 00:31:48,828 --> 00:31:52,108 Speaker 1: the monochromatic look with this purple for this Ravens half. 655 00:31:52,228 --> 00:31:54,748 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna still tell Steve Bashatti to don't worry 656 00:31:54,788 --> 00:31:56,668 Speaker 1: because you're the one that's gonna have to pay this man. 657 00:31:56,988 --> 00:32:00,588 Speaker 1: But Ravens fans, don't worry, my darling. You're gonna be 658 00:32:00,708 --> 00:32:03,828 Speaker 1: okay with Lamar Jackson no matter when, how or how 659 00:32:03,948 --> 00:32:06,508 Speaker 1: much he gets paid, because he will get paid. The 660 00:32:06,628 --> 00:32:09,748 Speaker 1: point is you are either tomorrow going to have a 661 00:32:09,828 --> 00:32:13,188 Speaker 1: quarterback that gets a contracts of a lifetime and then 662 00:32:13,228 --> 00:32:15,148 Speaker 1: he's set and he's playing the way you know and 663 00:32:15,228 --> 00:32:18,508 Speaker 1: love about Lamar Jackson, or he will not, and then 664 00:32:18,548 --> 00:32:21,508 Speaker 1: he becomes Lamar Jackson scorn. Then he becomes a Lamar 665 00:32:21,628 --> 00:32:24,548 Speaker 1: Jackson who's playing for a franchise tag or playing to 666 00:32:24,628 --> 00:32:26,948 Speaker 1: show the ravens and tell the ravens what he is worth, 667 00:32:27,148 --> 00:32:29,668 Speaker 1: how much he is do Either way, you don't have 668 00:32:29,748 --> 00:32:31,948 Speaker 1: to worry because you are getting a Lamar Jackson who 669 00:32:32,028 --> 00:32:34,308 Speaker 1: is at the top of his game, a Lamar Jackson 670 00:32:34,468 --> 00:32:37,988 Speaker 1: who is the Edgar Allan Poe. If you will, oh Baltimore, Maryland, 671 00:32:38,028 --> 00:32:39,868 Speaker 1: and in the words of Edgar Allan Poe, I have 672 00:32:40,068 --> 00:32:44,268 Speaker 1: great faith in fools. My friends call itself confidence. Go 673 00:32:44,508 --> 00:32:47,108 Speaker 1: with your gut, believe in Lamar Jackson, and don't worry. 674 00:32:47,188 --> 00:32:50,908 Speaker 1: Don't worry, Darling Jenny does the work. I feel great 675 00:32:50,908 --> 00:32:54,588 Speaker 1: about Yeah. Stress, No, no, I'm going to talk to 676 00:32:54,708 --> 00:32:57,508 Speaker 1: the to the fan base. They haven't wait for the 677 00:32:57,548 --> 00:33:00,588 Speaker 1: playoffs for quite some time. It goes back to Matt 678 00:33:00,668 --> 00:33:03,708 Speaker 1: Moore starting a quarterback game in the playoffs for them, 679 00:33:03,868 --> 00:33:06,428 Speaker 1: Dolphins fans. I don't know if two is good, I 680 00:33:06,548 --> 00:33:09,228 Speaker 1: really don't, But if he is good, we'll know. That's 681 00:33:09,228 --> 00:33:12,588 Speaker 1: almost better than knowing and speculating, like this is the year. 682 00:33:12,628 --> 00:33:15,668 Speaker 1: He's got every weapon. He's got Tyreek Hill, he's got 683 00:33:15,748 --> 00:33:19,188 Speaker 1: Tarn Armstead blocking for him. He's got Jalen Waddle, who 684 00:33:19,508 --> 00:33:22,788 Speaker 1: broke the rookie reception record in a season last year 685 00:33:22,988 --> 00:33:27,268 Speaker 1: as a number two, the running back room is loaded 686 00:33:27,308 --> 00:33:29,668 Speaker 1: with so many familiar names that you could PLoP in 687 00:33:29,748 --> 00:33:32,428 Speaker 1: Sony Michelle and he doesn't even make the team. This 688 00:33:33,148 --> 00:33:37,268 Speaker 1: is a team that is loaded on offense. If they fail, 689 00:33:38,108 --> 00:33:39,828 Speaker 1: it will be because of Tuah. And then you go 690 00:33:39,908 --> 00:33:42,668 Speaker 1: back to the drawing board and you say, Okay, he's 691 00:33:42,708 --> 00:33:45,748 Speaker 1: not our guy. And I'll tell you why I think 692 00:33:45,788 --> 00:33:50,108 Speaker 1: this is good. It's closure Mike McDaniel. Every single place 693 00:33:50,308 --> 00:33:53,668 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel has coached before, he has gotten the best 694 00:33:53,908 --> 00:33:57,268 Speaker 1: season out of his quarterback. Talking about Matt schallb in Houston, 695 00:33:57,628 --> 00:34:00,948 Speaker 1: talking about Matt Ryan in Atlanta, talking about Brian Hoyer 696 00:34:01,108 --> 00:34:05,188 Speaker 1: in Cleveland. You're talking about Jimmy Garoppolo in San Francisco. 697 00:34:05,708 --> 00:34:08,868 Speaker 1: These guys had the best years of their individual careers 698 00:34:08,948 --> 00:34:12,508 Speaker 1: when Mike McDaniel was coaching with them. If Tatungua Violoa 699 00:34:12,828 --> 00:34:15,388 Speaker 1: is not having a solid year and the Dolphins fall 700 00:34:15,428 --> 00:34:17,148 Speaker 1: flat on their face, well then you look at it 701 00:34:17,228 --> 00:34:19,428 Speaker 1: after three seasons and you say, okay, we might need 702 00:34:19,468 --> 00:34:21,468 Speaker 1: to go another direction. At night, not to people what 703 00:34:21,508 --> 00:34:23,628 Speaker 1: you want to hear, but trust me, it is much 704 00:34:23,668 --> 00:34:26,348 Speaker 1: better to know than to not know, and to love 705 00:34:26,508 --> 00:34:29,188 Speaker 1: than to have never loved before. I look at you, 706 00:34:29,628 --> 00:34:32,988 Speaker 1: my beautiful Dolphins fans who want the playoffs so badly 707 00:34:33,068 --> 00:34:35,228 Speaker 1: and are wearing those teal jerseys right now, And I 708 00:34:35,308 --> 00:34:39,028 Speaker 1: look to you and I say, don't worry, darling, it's beautiful. 709 00:34:39,068 --> 00:34:39,228 Speaker 1: Peter
