We're going to talk about it 9 00:00:42,588 --> 00:00:45,948 Speaker 3: in the second hour. But Jason, I'm always I feel 10 00:00:45,988 --> 00:00:48,108 Speaker 3: quite proud that last year was kind of your first 11 00:00:48,268 --> 00:00:51,188 Speaker 3: induction into the Hard Knocks viewing experience. Do you have 12 00:00:51,228 --> 00:00:53,108 Speaker 3: a different stance on it now that you are a. 13 00:00:53,068 --> 00:00:53,788 Speaker 2: Member of the media. 14 00:00:53,948 --> 00:00:55,908 Speaker 4: No, I'm ready for Jess to be my favorite team 15 00:00:55,908 --> 00:00:58,348 Speaker 4: this year. Last year it was the Lions everything Hard Knocks. 16 00:00:58,388 --> 00:01:00,828 Speaker 4: I loved it, Dan Campbell, So I'm waiting now this year. 17 00:01:00,948 --> 00:01:03,428 Speaker 4: Robert Sala Aaron Rodgers. I'm going to be a huge 18 00:01:03,508 --> 00:01:05,708 Speaker 4: Jets fan. And after we finish Hard Knocks, they're going 19 00:01:05,708 --> 00:01:06,548 Speaker 4: to be won in the Super Bowl. 20 00:01:06,868 --> 00:01:10,348 Speaker 1: The Hard Knocks team almost never makes the nos. It's 21 00:01:10,428 --> 00:01:12,828 Speaker 1: really really not a thing that happened. Even the lines 22 00:01:12,868 --> 00:01:15,428 Speaker 1: last year were closed didn't make it. This must be 23 00:01:15,468 --> 00:01:17,388 Speaker 1: the exception, right, I'm sure they'll get one of those 24 00:01:17,388 --> 00:01:20,028 Speaker 1: subjects as sure they will, right, I mean playoffs. 25 00:01:20,388 --> 00:01:21,548 Speaker 5: I think they're thinking super Bowl. 26 00:01:21,788 --> 00:01:23,908 Speaker 2: This might be step one for the Jets. 27 00:01:23,948 --> 00:01:25,788 Speaker 6: Just get all those cameras up in our locker, all right, 28 00:01:25,868 --> 00:01:26,628 Speaker 6: let's go from there. 29 00:01:27,748 --> 00:01:29,348 Speaker 3: Is that if it is the first time a Hard 30 00:01:29,428 --> 00:01:31,108 Speaker 3: Knocks team makes a Super Bowl, like they should be 31 00:01:31,188 --> 00:01:33,068 Speaker 3: like a follow up version of it, like in March 32 00:01:33,148 --> 00:01:34,668 Speaker 3: or February, like Hard Knocks. 33 00:01:34,908 --> 00:01:35,788 Speaker 2: That would be cool. 34 00:01:35,868 --> 00:01:38,148 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, we are going to talk about that. We 35 00:01:38,228 --> 00:01:40,028 Speaker 3: even have a preview, I believe, in the second hour 36 00:01:40,068 --> 00:01:40,868 Speaker 3: of Good Morning Football. 37 00:01:40,908 --> 00:01:42,868 Speaker 2: But until then, time for the lead bluff. 38 00:01:43,388 --> 00:01:46,468 Speaker 3: The Broncos will take on the Cardinals on Friday night 39 00:01:46,548 --> 00:01:49,948 Speaker 3: for their preseason opener right here on NFL Network, and 40 00:01:50,028 --> 00:01:53,868 Speaker 3: this week, Sean Payton disclosed that Russell Wilson and the 41 00:01:53,868 --> 00:01:57,668 Speaker 3: rest of the Broncos first team the starters, will start 42 00:01:57,868 --> 00:02:02,148 Speaker 3: and play about fifteen to eighteen snaps. Kind of an 43 00:02:02,148 --> 00:02:04,708 Speaker 3: interesting approach to the first week in the preseason. But 44 00:02:04,828 --> 00:02:07,628 Speaker 3: here's coach Peyton and what he's looking to see and 45 00:02:07,668 --> 00:02:09,668 Speaker 3: what he doesn't want to see from his team on 46 00:02:09,708 --> 00:02:10,308 Speaker 3: Friday night. 47 00:02:11,788 --> 00:02:15,828 Speaker 7: Hopefully you want to see guys that are playing full 48 00:02:15,868 --> 00:02:18,908 Speaker 7: speed and they know what to do, and you know 49 00:02:19,068 --> 00:02:23,028 Speaker 7: you're able to evaluate them versus a different scheme. You know, 50 00:02:23,068 --> 00:02:26,468 Speaker 7: we've been seeing the same offense or defense, so now 51 00:02:26,468 --> 00:02:28,348 Speaker 7: we see a different opponent. I want to see ten 52 00:02:28,388 --> 00:02:31,148 Speaker 7: guys in the field. I don't want to see uniforms 53 00:02:31,188 --> 00:02:36,028 Speaker 7: off after we're done playing, sunglasses on Gilligan's hats, on 54 00:02:36,428 --> 00:02:40,308 Speaker 7: interviews during the game. That's what I don't want to see. 55 00:02:42,988 --> 00:02:45,108 Speaker 3: Did you get that list? There's a lot of things 56 00:02:45,108 --> 00:02:47,548 Speaker 3: that he doesn't want to see. As Friday Night rolls along, 57 00:02:48,148 --> 00:02:51,828 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson playing in the preseason starting Peyton's comments, there's 58 00:02:51,868 --> 00:02:54,508 Speaker 3: a lot to unpack there. Jason, why don't you kick 59 00:02:54,588 --> 00:02:54,908 Speaker 3: us off? 60 00:02:54,988 --> 00:02:57,228 Speaker 4: It's great like this is a topic because it seems 61 00:02:57,228 --> 00:02:59,788 Speaker 4: like now it's archaic to say, all right, just starter 62 00:02:59,868 --> 00:03:01,548 Speaker 4: is going to play in a preseason game. When I 63 00:03:01,588 --> 00:03:04,868 Speaker 4: came in throughout my entire career, like we always played 64 00:03:04,908 --> 00:03:05,748 Speaker 4: in the preseason game. 65 00:03:05,788 --> 00:03:07,508 Speaker 8: You maybe didn't play a whole. 66 00:03:07,348 --> 00:03:10,668 Speaker 4: Half three quarters, but you got your fifteen to twenty 67 00:03:10,708 --> 00:03:12,588 Speaker 4: plays and you got a chance to go out there. 68 00:03:12,788 --> 00:03:14,708 Speaker 4: And I think in the Broncos case, we're talking about 69 00:03:14,748 --> 00:03:17,268 Speaker 4: Russes out there. He's playing in a preseason game, the starters. 70 00:03:17,548 --> 00:03:19,908 Speaker 4: I think this is just as much needed for the 71 00:03:19,908 --> 00:03:22,748 Speaker 4: coaching staff. You have a new staff that's there. Game 72 00:03:22,828 --> 00:03:26,308 Speaker 4: day presents different issues than a practice. Now you have 73 00:03:26,348 --> 00:03:28,508 Speaker 4: to communicate on the headsets. You have people up top, 74 00:03:28,548 --> 00:03:31,468 Speaker 4: you have people on the field, substitutions, you have guys 75 00:03:31,508 --> 00:03:34,268 Speaker 4: running on and off the field. We watched last year 76 00:03:34,468 --> 00:03:37,148 Speaker 4: when the Rams had a substitution era and McVeigh caught 77 00:03:37,188 --> 00:03:39,268 Speaker 4: one on the chin of a player running off the 78 00:03:39,308 --> 00:03:43,588 Speaker 4: sideline late. As a coach, you absolutely hate that. But 79 00:03:43,908 --> 00:03:45,788 Speaker 4: the one thing I did, like Sean Payton said, he 80 00:03:45,788 --> 00:03:47,588 Speaker 4: said when guys finished, like, I don't want to see 81 00:03:47,628 --> 00:03:51,348 Speaker 4: him what the Gilligans had jerseys off. Like when you 82 00:03:51,388 --> 00:03:53,428 Speaker 4: come into the league, it's like a right of passage 83 00:03:53,468 --> 00:03:56,028 Speaker 4: to be in the preseason game and to get your 84 00:03:56,068 --> 00:03:58,908 Speaker 4: fifteen to twenty plays, and then that second half, you 85 00:03:58,948 --> 00:04:01,628 Speaker 4: grab yourself a cup, you throw some sunflower seeds in 86 00:04:01,668 --> 00:04:03,948 Speaker 4: the mouth, you throw a visor on, you put the 87 00:04:03,948 --> 00:04:06,548 Speaker 4: gatoray towel over your neck, and you're just hanging with 88 00:04:06,588 --> 00:04:09,068 Speaker 4: the guys. You're watching, you're cheering your guys on. But 89 00:04:09,108 --> 00:04:13,108 Speaker 4: if anybody's watching this camera pans the sideline. That's like, oh, 90 00:04:13,148 --> 00:04:14,988 Speaker 4: that guy must be a starter. He already got his 91 00:04:15,028 --> 00:04:17,788 Speaker 4: plays and I turned too late. Now he's just hanging out. 92 00:04:17,788 --> 00:04:20,428 Speaker 4: He's chilling, he's relaxing. That is part of kind of 93 00:04:20,428 --> 00:04:22,548 Speaker 4: the build up. You look forward to that rookie year. 94 00:04:22,788 --> 00:04:25,428 Speaker 4: You're playing the fourth quarter. You're out there, you're playing 95 00:04:25,468 --> 00:04:27,748 Speaker 4: your butt off to Eernard's spot on the team. By 96 00:04:27,788 --> 00:04:29,428 Speaker 4: the time you become a vet, you want to just 97 00:04:29,508 --> 00:04:32,348 Speaker 4: kind of hang out and relax on that sideline and 98 00:04:32,428 --> 00:04:35,348 Speaker 4: let the young guys play. And while you're just chilling out, 99 00:04:35,348 --> 00:04:37,468 Speaker 4: look at this, Now, this is an amazing play. 100 00:04:37,508 --> 00:04:40,108 Speaker 8: This is a rookie year. Jason mccordy out of nowhere. 101 00:04:40,108 --> 00:04:40,908 Speaker 2: I'm not mad at it. 102 00:04:40,948 --> 00:04:43,788 Speaker 8: A nice highlight. This is rookie year. I'm fired up. 103 00:04:43,788 --> 00:04:45,788 Speaker 4: This is the fourth quarter of the Hall of Fame game. 104 00:04:46,268 --> 00:04:48,468 Speaker 4: That very next year, If I'm in this game at 105 00:04:48,468 --> 00:04:51,108 Speaker 4: the same spot, I have failed the offseason. 106 00:04:51,228 --> 00:04:53,028 Speaker 8: I did not get I didn't get better. 107 00:04:53,308 --> 00:04:57,348 Speaker 4: I didn't make enough increasement of my ability to be 108 00:04:57,428 --> 00:04:59,268 Speaker 4: hanging out at this point in the season. See those 109 00:04:59,268 --> 00:05:02,348 Speaker 4: guys congratulating me. Kenny Britt was in a T shirt, Like, 110 00:05:02,388 --> 00:05:03,628 Speaker 4: that's where you want to be. You want to be 111 00:05:03,628 --> 00:05:06,148 Speaker 4: on the sideline rooting the guys on, which also you 112 00:05:06,148 --> 00:05:07,148 Speaker 4: don't feel any stress. 113 00:05:07,988 --> 00:05:10,468 Speaker 6: It's it's significant because of the team though, right Like 114 00:05:10,668 --> 00:05:13,308 Speaker 6: the way he's saying this after the comments about Hackett 115 00:05:13,348 --> 00:05:17,228 Speaker 6: and after the comments about last year, where it's almost 116 00:05:17,268 --> 00:05:18,708 Speaker 6: implying that things. 117 00:05:18,548 --> 00:05:20,508 Speaker 5: Were like a country club the last few years. 118 00:05:20,588 --> 00:05:22,668 Speaker 6: Hey, I don't want to see the Gilligan hats, which 119 00:05:22,748 --> 00:05:25,468 Speaker 6: I love like Gilligan, Like, do these guys know what 120 00:05:25,468 --> 00:05:26,548 Speaker 6: Gilligan's island isn't? 121 00:05:26,548 --> 00:05:28,548 Speaker 1: Can we get into that for sorry, let's just do 122 00:05:28,628 --> 00:05:31,588 Speaker 1: a generation time.

Get out there and run some reps, 224 00:09:10,468 --> 00:09:12,468 Speaker 1: get the snap off on time. We don't need the 225 00:09:12,468 --> 00:09:14,628 Speaker 1: home fans chanting down the play clock. 226 00:09:14,388 --> 00:09:15,508 Speaker 9: This year like they were last year. 227 00:09:15,508 --> 00:09:18,948 Speaker 1: I liked that they're playing this you're tapping is Let 228 00:09:19,028 --> 00:09:22,308 Speaker 1: me be very big about pads on no seeds no interviews. 229 00:09:22,308 --> 00:09:23,708 Speaker 1: If this is how he's gonna run it, and he's 230 00:09:23,708 --> 00:09:26,068 Speaker 1: gonna be the militant, cracking skulls that type of thing, 231 00:09:26,748 --> 00:09:30,108 Speaker 1: I don't find it works that much in twenty twenty three. 232 00:09:30,188 --> 00:09:33,588 Speaker 1: I mean this taps into everything from Cliff Kingsbury's cell 233 00:09:33,588 --> 00:09:37,268 Speaker 1: phone breaks and to no more hitting in practice, we'll 234 00:09:37,308 --> 00:09:38,988 Speaker 1: see if they're made for it. If that's the way 235 00:09:39,028 --> 00:09:42,188 Speaker 1: he's gonna go, and it's gonna be like rip the 236 00:09:42,268 --> 00:09:44,548 Speaker 1: logos off the helmets and all that stuff. 237 00:09:44,588 --> 00:09:46,228 Speaker 2: Like I didn't think Sean Payton was like that. 238 00:09:46,228 --> 00:09:48,308 Speaker 1: I remember videos of him in New Orleans dancing and 239 00:09:48,388 --> 00:09:50,308 Speaker 1: celebrating the big cases of money and stuff. 240 00:09:50,668 --> 00:09:52,628 Speaker 2: But maybe it's what the Broncos need. 241 00:09:52,668 --> 00:09:54,588 Speaker 5: Does this have an urban Meyer feel to it? 242 00:09:55,348 --> 00:09:59,628 Speaker 1: No?

He's certainly not doing it the same exact 257 00:10:27,188 --> 00:10:27,668 Speaker 6: way he did it. 258 00:10:27,668 --> 00:10:29,148 Speaker 2: In New Orleans. This wasn't the version of him. 259 00:10:29,228 --> 00:10:31,748 Speaker 4: This just isn't enough for me to say, all right, 260 00:10:31,748 --> 00:10:35,388 Speaker 4: he's going all the way old school, like no, Gilligan 261 00:10:35,588 --> 00:10:38,988 Speaker 4: has no no endgame interviews like that's not like militant 262 00:10:38,988 --> 00:10:41,148 Speaker 4: to me. There's a lot more to it. They're not 263 00:10:41,268 --> 00:10:44,268 Speaker 4: hitting every day like this isn't that old school. This 264 00:10:44,348 --> 00:10:46,148 Speaker 4: is a very small thing to me. 265 00:10:46,308 --> 00:10:46,628 Speaker 2: Okay. 266 00:10:46,748 --> 00:10:50,908 Speaker 3: I find his tone in the last few weeks condescending 267 00:10:50,988 --> 00:10:53,668 Speaker 3: in nature at times. And I'm no expert on the 268 00:10:53,708 --> 00:10:56,468 Speaker 3: male ego, but after working in sports television for the 269 00:10:56,548 --> 00:10:59,188 Speaker 3: last ten years, I don't think it's like a great 270 00:10:59,268 --> 00:11:02,548 Speaker 3: practice as the head coach, the boss of a company, 271 00:11:02,668 --> 00:11:06,628 Speaker 3: the producer whatever, to to speak down to people. Because 272 00:11:06,628 --> 00:11:10,908 Speaker 3: now two times we have essentially said, you know, the 273 00:11:11,028 --> 00:11:14,348 Speaker 3: parents were at fault, which I translated that to the 274 00:11:14,388 --> 00:11:17,388 Speaker 3: players are your children. And that's how you're gonna speak 275 00:11:17,428 --> 00:11:20,708 Speaker 3: to them, handle them, having this iron fist approach of 276 00:11:21,228 --> 00:11:22,268 Speaker 3: essentially can't. 277 00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:23,588 Speaker 2: Yuck it up on my sideline. 278 00:11:23,668 --> 00:11:26,548 Speaker 3: I just don't see this playing out well for eighteen weeks. 279 00:11:26,588 --> 00:11:31,028 Speaker 3: These are grown men who are not NCAA athletes. They 280 00:11:31,028 --> 00:11:34,788 Speaker 3: are a business entity in and of themselves, and unless 281 00:11:34,868 --> 00:11:37,668 Speaker 3: winning is the product here, we've seen this time and 282 00:11:37,708 --> 00:11:42,188 Speaker 3: time again that the mutiny that will occur because someone's 283 00:11:42,188 --> 00:11:44,788 Speaker 3: going to be insulted by how they're being handled, because 284 00:11:45,348 --> 00:11:49,748 Speaker 3: being any kind of condescending nature never goes over well. 285 00:11:49,748 --> 00:11:51,868 Speaker 3: And my observation, it's a. 286 00:11:51,828 --> 00:11:54,468 Speaker 6: Great take, and we haven't heard from a player yet 287 00:11:54,508 --> 00:11:57,348 Speaker 6: speaking out now. That usually happens midway through a losing 288 00:11:57,348 --> 00:12:00,028 Speaker 6: streaking with the unknown source and the anonymous source saying 289 00:12:00,068 --> 00:12:02,428 Speaker 6: this just doesn't work and it's too old school, or 290 00:12:02,948 --> 00:12:04,748 Speaker 6: he doesn't treat us like we want to be treated. 291 00:12:05,788 --> 00:12:08,108 Speaker 6: There were whispers in some publication in Denver that they 292 00:12:08,108 --> 00:12:10,508 Speaker 6: didn't love the comments about Hackett, that they were hackets 293 00:12:10,508 --> 00:12:13,028 Speaker 6: still at friends in the building, like he's there to 294 00:12:13,188 --> 00:12:16,108 Speaker 6: shake things up and it might not get might not 295 00:12:16,148 --> 00:12:18,468 Speaker 6: be pretty for a lot of folks. And I think 296 00:12:18,508 --> 00:12:20,748 Speaker 6: the fact that Russell Wilson is just included in the 297 00:12:20,748 --> 00:12:21,988 Speaker 6: group says. 298 00:12:21,748 --> 00:12:22,428 Speaker 5: A lot as well. 299 00:12:22,668 --> 00:12:24,828 Speaker 1: Also, this is Sean Payton, he knows what the hell 300 00:12:24,828 --> 00:12:27,148 Speaker 1: he's doing. This is not Urban Meyer, This is not 301 00:12:27,308 --> 00:12:29,628 Speaker 1: Chip Kelly showing up and saying we're going to change things. 302 00:12:29,668 --> 00:12:33,348 Speaker 1: Like many many wins over many many years, over many 303 00:12:33,388 --> 00:12:36,228 Speaker 1: future Hall of Fame players, like I think we have 304 00:12:36,348 --> 00:12:38,268 Speaker 1: to at least trust him and say, like, he has 305 00:12:38,308 --> 00:12:40,388 Speaker 1: won a lot in this league and coach a lot 306 00:12:40,388 --> 00:12:42,188 Speaker 1: of different types of players. If he's doing it this way, 307 00:12:42,348 --> 00:12:43,748 Speaker 1: this is not some good new kid on the block. 308 00:12:43,788 --> 00:12:45,388 Speaker 1: He's been there, he has he deserves. 309 00:12:45,068 --> 00:12:46,708 Speaker 8: That, and guys have to get used to you. 310 00:12:46,868 --> 00:12:48,828 Speaker 4: So I think from him early on set in a 311 00:12:48,908 --> 00:12:51,948 Speaker 4: temple about a third preseason game, you may have all 312 00:12:51,988 --> 00:12:54,548 Speaker 4: of the starters with no pads on, no helmets, but 313 00:12:54,588 --> 00:12:56,868 Speaker 4: from the very beginning you have to set a standard 314 00:12:56,908 --> 00:12:59,988 Speaker 4: of what it's going to be and sset expectations.

They got an All Pro or Pro bowler 593 00:24:54,988 --> 00:24:56,788 Speaker 11: in every single position. So I think that if they're 594 00:24:56,828 --> 00:25:00,468 Speaker 11: able to stay healthy. Look last year, I would guess 595 00:25:00,468 --> 00:25:02,548 Speaker 11: probably half of the season, Joey Bolts and klil Mack 596 00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,788 Speaker 11: wasn't even reveiled the same time. Keenan Island Mike Williams 597 00:25:05,828 --> 00:25:07,548 Speaker 11: wasn't on the field at the same time.

I I was definitely going 661 00:27:15,908 --> 00:27:17,148 Speaker 9: for that, for that sack record. 662 00:27:17,268 --> 00:27:19,148 Speaker 3: I wonder how that trash talk would have fit in 663 00:27:19,148 --> 00:27:21,588 Speaker 3: in the Dallas Cowboys culture because the story came out 664 00:27:21,628 --> 00:27:24,188 Speaker 3: over the weekend from DeMarcus Ware that back in two 665 00:27:24,228 --> 00:27:26,668 Speaker 3: thousand and five, Bill Parcells wanted to take you at 666 00:27:26,668 --> 00:27:30,428 Speaker 3: the eleventh overall pick, but Jerry Jones wanted DeMarcus Ware. 667 00:27:31,068 --> 00:27:34,028 Speaker 3: You hear that the story emerges. Does any memory flashback? 668 00:27:34,108 --> 00:27:36,108 Speaker 3: Did you hear that at the time? How did your 669 00:27:36,108 --> 00:27:37,628 Speaker 3: life to inspire after that? Obviously? 670 00:27:37,708 --> 00:27:39,788 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, And it was the truth. It was a truth. 671 00:27:40,308 --> 00:27:42,708 Speaker 11: When I came to my visit to Dallas, they had 672 00:27:42,708 --> 00:27:44,988 Speaker 11: their top ten, top fifteen guys all walking down the 673 00:27:45,028 --> 00:27:46,948 Speaker 11: locker room and they sent somebody down to come and 674 00:27:46,948 --> 00:27:48,428 Speaker 11: grab me. The first thing I started thinking, I was like, 675 00:27:48,468 --> 00:27:49,188 Speaker 11: oh crap, what did. 676 00:27:49,068 --> 00:27:49,668 Speaker 9: I do right? 677 00:27:50,188 --> 00:27:52,148 Speaker 11: While they grabbing me? Out of all these guys, they 678 00:27:52,148 --> 00:27:54,508 Speaker 11: got down here. So they brought me up to the office. 679 00:27:54,508 --> 00:27:57,508 Speaker 11: And this office was, you know, very very tiny, and 680 00:27:57,628 --> 00:28:00,188 Speaker 11: Jerry Jones is sitting on the desk here, Bill Parcells 681 00:28:00,188 --> 00:28:02,308 Speaker 11: is the desk, and I'm. 682 00:28:02,188 --> 00:28:03,748 Speaker 9: Sitting here like I'm twenty years old. 683 00:28:03,788 --> 00:28:06,468 Speaker 11: You know, these are too polverizing figures in the game, 684 00:28:06,628 --> 00:28:08,388 Speaker 11: and I'm in this little tiny room and I could 685 00:28:08,388 --> 00:28:11,068 Speaker 11: just feel myself kind of just shrinking down and shrinking down, 686 00:28:11,108 --> 00:28:14,028 Speaker 11: and you know, Jerry Jones' voice and Bill Parson, I'm like, 687 00:28:14,268 --> 00:28:16,668 Speaker 11: this is crazy. So they basically told me that if 688 00:28:16,708 --> 00:28:18,788 Speaker 11: I was going to be there about the eleventh pick, they 689 00:28:18,788 --> 00:28:20,308 Speaker 11: didn't think I would be, but if I was, they 690 00:28:20,388 --> 00:28:21,028 Speaker 11: want to draft me. 691 00:28:21,068 --> 00:28:21,948 Speaker 9: Now, this came from. 692 00:28:21,828 --> 00:28:24,988 Speaker 11: Bill Parcells, So what DeMarcus said was correct because Jerry 693 00:28:25,068 --> 00:28:27,868 Speaker 11: Jones would just kind of following Bill Parcells's lead, and 694 00:28:27,908 --> 00:28:32,428 Speaker 11: that's what happened. Well, Bill Parcells told me that day, 695 00:28:32,548 --> 00:28:34,468 Speaker 11: the first day you get out here, we're gonna work 696 00:28:34,508 --> 00:28:35,908 Speaker 11: the you know what out of here. 697 00:28:36,388 --> 00:28:38,388 Speaker 9: And I said, okay, well I'm hoping to going to the. 698 00:28:38,428 --> 00:28:43,028 Speaker 5: Chargers and I worked out, it worked out. 699 00:28:42,948 --> 00:28:44,868 Speaker 11: And I did end up in a better position with 700 00:28:44,908 --> 00:28:47,268 Speaker 11: a nicer coach from Martin Shotenhammer because he was also 701 00:28:47,468 --> 00:28:49,028 Speaker 11: he was also very very tough. 702 00:28:49,828 --> 00:28:51,988 Speaker 1: So, you know, Jamie just mentioned the Hall of Fame WEEKND, 703 00:28:51,988 --> 00:28:53,508 Speaker 1: it just went down. It's an interesting time with the 704 00:28:53,508 --> 00:28:55,388 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame right now. There was a take the 705 00:28:55,468 --> 00:28:59,108 Speaker 1: Dion put out there saying that it's saturated, like some 706 00:28:59,188 --> 00:29:00,788 Speaker 1: of these guys were getting in don't belong in the 707 00:29:00,788 --> 00:29:01,588 Speaker 1: same club as me. 708 00:29:02,428 --> 00:29:04,868 Speaker 2: I wonder in a couple of years, Filled Rivers. 709 00:29:04,788 --> 00:29:06,388 Speaker 1: Is gonna come up. He's gonna have the five year 710 00:29:06,428 --> 00:29:10,388 Speaker 1: Marksian's retirement. Is Philip Rivers a great quarterback? Is he 711 00:29:10,428 --> 00:29:11,148 Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer? 712 00:29:12,268 --> 00:29:13,948 Speaker 11: I think so, no question about it. And I'm not 713 00:29:13,988 --> 00:29:16,908 Speaker 11: just saying because I played with him, and I think 714 00:29:16,908 --> 00:29:19,148 Speaker 11: the world of Philip Rivers is the biggest competitor I've 715 00:29:19,188 --> 00:29:21,028 Speaker 11: ever played with. I played with some great players, but 716 00:29:21,308 --> 00:29:24,588 Speaker 11: his ability to just compete all the time and obviously 717 00:29:24,628 --> 00:29:27,388 Speaker 11: do a lot of talking, but also competing. The numbers 718 00:29:27,388 --> 00:29:29,668 Speaker 11: speak for yourself, right, And I get it that we 719 00:29:29,668 --> 00:29:33,468 Speaker 11: want to base the Hall of Fame around you championships 720 00:29:33,508 --> 00:29:35,388 Speaker 11: and all the but he's we won a lot of games. 721 00:29:36,228 --> 00:29:38,068 Speaker 11: If you look at the stats across the board, he's 722 00:29:38,068 --> 00:29:41,228 Speaker 11: top and just about everything. And so I'll give people this, 723 00:29:41,268 --> 00:29:43,948 Speaker 11: so I'm not so much of a homer. If he's 724 00:29:43,988 --> 00:29:46,708 Speaker 11: not first ballot, he should get in. At some point 725 00:29:47,268 --> 00:29:49,908 Speaker 11: I'll say that I believe he's first ballot because this 726 00:29:50,028 --> 00:29:52,348 Speaker 11: number is his his longevity and things he's did, he's 727 00:29:52,388 --> 00:29:54,508 Speaker 11: done while he's on the football field. But if he 728 00:29:54,548 --> 00:29:57,108 Speaker 11: doesn't I can I get the gripe. I can understand 729 00:29:57,108 --> 00:29:59,348 Speaker 11: that he still belongs in the Hall of Fame. There's 730 00:29:59,388 --> 00:30:01,788 Speaker 11: other guys, you know, Lorenzo Neil, you talked that he's 731 00:30:01,828 --> 00:30:03,388 Speaker 11: got some guys in there. It should be in a 732 00:30:03,388 --> 00:30:05,028 Speaker 11: Hall of fame that will have that ortunity. But I 733 00:30:05,028 --> 00:30:08,508 Speaker 11: do agree with Dion. I mean, they there's a there's 734 00:30:08,548 --> 00:30:10,468 Speaker 11: Hall of Fame, and there's people that are kind of 735 00:30:10,468 --> 00:30:13,028 Speaker 11: getting in. And now I even had these conversations about 736 00:30:13,148 --> 00:30:15,468 Speaker 11: myself and Okay, what if I had a couple more 737 00:30:15,468 --> 00:30:18,668 Speaker 11: healthy years as possible, But you have to really look 738 00:30:18,708 --> 00:30:22,148 Speaker 11: at the longevity and and the people people body player's 739 00:30:22,188 --> 00:30:24,508 Speaker 11: body of work over a long period of time. And 740 00:30:24,548 --> 00:30:26,508 Speaker 11: so I was happy with TD got in. I was 741 00:30:26,508 --> 00:30:28,228 Speaker 11: happy with some of these other guys got in. But 742 00:30:28,388 --> 00:30:31,508 Speaker 11: Dion is correct that there is levels. With Miek Mills said, 743 00:30:31,508 --> 00:30:34,388 Speaker 11: there is level to this Hall of Fame, and so 744 00:30:34,468 --> 00:30:35,908 Speaker 11: I do think he has a point on that. 745 00:30:36,188 --> 00:30:38,108 Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think the first ballot thing might be 746 00:30:38,108 --> 00:30:40,748 Speaker 6: the differentiator. You know, it's like, Okay, we got in first, 747 00:30:41,028 --> 00:30:42,228 Speaker 6: I had to wait a couple of years. Okay, fine, 748 00:30:42,228 --> 00:30:45,188 Speaker 6: that's enough, but everyone is still Hall of Fame caliber. 749 00:30:46,628 --> 00:30:49,148 Speaker 6: We gotta go to this twenty seventeen, you joined our 750 00:30:49,228 --> 00:30:51,348 Speaker 6: show and it was in our old studio and you 751 00:30:51,388 --> 00:30:52,988 Speaker 6: came in and we're like wow.
