1
00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,668
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in

2
00:00:06,748 --> 00:00:31,748
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:22,268 --> 00:00:24,148
Speaker 2: Good Morning Football.

4
00:00:24,508 --> 00:00:27,988
Speaker 3: My mind has blown. Brandon Cooks. Your Instagram handle is

5
00:00:28,068 --> 00:00:31,028
Speaker 3: what the archer? The archer? And why is it the archer?

6
00:00:31,068 --> 00:00:32,108
Speaker 4: Because I love archery.

7
00:00:32,388 --> 00:00:35,428
Speaker 5: So again, for the most simplest of person people that

8
00:00:35,468 --> 00:00:38,188
Speaker 5: don't understand archerie, it's purely bow and arrow. Try to

9
00:00:38,268 --> 00:00:41,828
Speaker 5: hit a very tiny target from a very far wayway right,

10
00:00:41,948 --> 00:00:44,548
Speaker 5: absolutely okay. So essentially trying to find a wide receiver

11
00:00:44,588 --> 00:00:46,228
Speaker 5: in football and just drop it in the bucket and

12
00:00:46,228 --> 00:00:50,868
Speaker 5: score a touchdown a little harder than you. It is

13
00:00:50,908 --> 00:00:53,188
Speaker 5: a little harder, which is why it's insulting if you

14
00:00:53,268 --> 00:00:56,188
Speaker 5: underappreciate and underrate a wide receiver in the NFL. So,

15
00:00:56,228 --> 00:00:58,948
Speaker 5: Brandon Cooks is here. Rookie season was twenty fourteen with

16
00:00:58,988 --> 00:01:01,628
Speaker 5: the New Orleans Saints. You have played for great teams,

17
00:01:01,668 --> 00:01:03,948
Speaker 5: great quarterbacks. You've won a couple of things here and

18
00:01:03,988 --> 00:01:06,588
Speaker 5: there along the way, so you have a great understanding

19
00:01:06,628 --> 00:01:07,068
Speaker 5: when you.

20
00:01:06,948 --> 00:01:07,708
Speaker 3: Put out this list.

21
00:01:07,828 --> 00:01:11,348
Speaker 5: Brandon Cook's top five underrated ride receivers five for three

22
00:01:11,388 --> 00:01:13,708
Speaker 5: two one. Let's start with five and a guy who

23
00:01:13,748 --> 00:01:15,708
Speaker 5: recently retired. Actually, who's this now?

24
00:01:15,828 --> 00:01:16,748
Speaker 4: T Y Hilton.

25
00:01:17,988 --> 00:01:19,708
Speaker 6: About you, Y Hilton, I think I got a lot

26
00:01:19,708 --> 00:01:21,508
Speaker 6: of respect for his game. Obviously, at the end of

27
00:01:21,508 --> 00:01:23,428
Speaker 6: the day, as you're going to see, my list is

28
00:01:23,468 --> 00:01:25,948
Speaker 6: going to be made up with a couple of shorter guys.

29
00:01:26,148 --> 00:01:28,228
Speaker 6: So I think we start there, right. I don't think

30
00:01:28,268 --> 00:01:31,828
Speaker 6: he got the recognition he ever deserved, just because you

31
00:01:31,868 --> 00:01:34,948
Speaker 6: know that stature. But the guy's reduced obviously from twenty

32
00:01:35,028 --> 00:01:38,428
Speaker 6: thirteen two twenty eighteen, he's at a thousand yard receiving

33
00:01:39,308 --> 00:01:41,628
Speaker 6: you know, season every pretty much every year. So I

34
00:01:41,668 --> 00:01:43,228
Speaker 6: got a lot of respect for him because he played

35
00:01:43,228 --> 00:01:45,548
Speaker 6: bigger than what he was, you know, obviously he played

36
00:01:45,548 --> 00:01:47,908
Speaker 6: with Andrew Luck and some guys. Just got a lot

37
00:01:47,948 --> 00:01:51,228
Speaker 6: of respect for his game. Speed, can run every route,

38
00:01:51,428 --> 00:01:53,148
Speaker 6: could be in the slot and be in the outside.

39
00:01:53,348 --> 00:01:54,868
Speaker 6: As a guy, that got a lot of respect for.

40
00:01:55,068 --> 00:01:57,548
Speaker 5: So he came into the league one year before you,

41
00:01:57,708 --> 00:02:00,188
Speaker 5: one year before all right, So then you watched him,

42
00:02:00,388 --> 00:02:02,788
Speaker 5: you watched his body of work, and now he's done

43
00:02:02,828 --> 00:02:04,788
Speaker 5: and retired. Which we haven't heard a decision about you

44
00:02:04,788 --> 00:02:07,028
Speaker 5: next season yet, which I know we're gonna tease on GMFB.

45
00:02:07,228 --> 00:02:08,028
Speaker 3: Okay, we haven't.

46
00:02:07,868 --> 00:02:10,748
Speaker 5: Heard that far from retires far from retirement. Okay, you

47
00:02:10,828 --> 00:02:14,068
Speaker 5: understand that it's free agency people. Okay, we love it.

48
00:02:14,108 --> 00:02:17,028
Speaker 5: He's just practicing the television thing, all right. At number four,

49
00:02:17,068 --> 00:02:17,908
Speaker 5: who you got next time?

50
00:02:18,268 --> 00:02:18,508
Speaker 7: Coast?

51
00:02:18,668 --> 00:02:20,948
Speaker 3: Marcus Boston. Okay, let's see some highlight.

52
00:02:20,988 --> 00:02:23,428
Speaker 6: You talk about a guy who produced every single year

53
00:02:23,468 --> 00:02:26,908
Speaker 6: from Hofstra. Don't have a football program anymore, but a

54
00:02:26,908 --> 00:02:29,628
Speaker 6: guy that produced every single year that he played. Never

55
00:02:29,668 --> 00:02:32,108
Speaker 6: got a Pro Bowl, never got an All Pro. But

56
00:02:32,308 --> 00:02:35,428
Speaker 6: you know, super Bowl winner, a reliable guy for Drew Brees,

57
00:02:35,428 --> 00:02:38,388
Speaker 6: one of his top targets throughout his career. Not enough

58
00:02:38,468 --> 00:02:41,548
Speaker 6: love for Marcus Coast, and that's the guy that definitely

59
00:02:41,588 --> 00:02:42,988
Speaker 6: was underrated throughout his crew.

60
00:02:43,108 --> 00:02:44,788
Speaker 5: I feel like, I know Willy Clones sign the segment,

61
00:02:44,828 --> 00:02:47,108
Speaker 5: but he must have screamed Hofstro when you brought off Hofstro.

62
00:02:47,228 --> 00:02:48,868
Speaker 5: So very important to bring that up, all right. I

63
00:02:48,908 --> 00:02:50,468
Speaker 5: love this next one that you have on this list,

64
00:02:50,468 --> 00:02:51,508
Speaker 5: Emmanuel Sanders.

65
00:02:51,708 --> 00:02:54,628
Speaker 6: Emmanuel Sanders, you talk about a guy once again who

66
00:02:54,708 --> 00:02:56,908
Speaker 6: produced every single year. But I think what people don't

67
00:02:56,948 --> 00:02:59,788
Speaker 6: understand he also played with Damarius Thomas, right, So there's

68
00:02:59,828 --> 00:03:02,468
Speaker 6: a lot to go around. But for his opportunities and

69
00:03:02,548 --> 00:03:05,228
Speaker 6: everything that he's done throughout his year from fourteen fifteen

70
00:03:05,348 --> 00:03:08,228
Speaker 6: sixteen to be able to produce over a thousand yards

71
00:03:08,308 --> 00:03:11,548
Speaker 6: every single year. I think it's a guy that you know,

72
00:03:11,828 --> 00:03:14,068
Speaker 6: never got enough credit. You know, when he left Denver,

73
00:03:14,188 --> 00:03:17,228
Speaker 6: you know he's still produced with the Niners, with the Saints,

74
00:03:17,268 --> 00:03:19,748
Speaker 6: with the Bills. Everywhere he went he produced.

75
00:03:19,748 --> 00:03:21,708
Speaker 4: So that's the guy that I had.

76
00:03:21,548 --> 00:03:23,188
Speaker 8: To give give him his flower.

77
00:03:23,228 --> 00:03:25,108
Speaker 5: Okay, what we love about this list so far is

78
00:03:25,108 --> 00:03:28,228
Speaker 5: that it's guys that you played alongside in the league

79
00:03:28,268 --> 00:03:30,828
Speaker 5: early in your career. But just because they're underrated, it

80
00:03:30,828 --> 00:03:32,788
Speaker 5: doesn't mean they have to be done playing. Because the

81
00:03:32,828 --> 00:03:35,108
Speaker 5: next guy on your list is somebody that was a

82
00:03:35,108 --> 00:03:36,668
Speaker 5: teammate of yours recently, right.

83
00:03:37,588 --> 00:03:41,148
Speaker 6: Go bu Nico con Nico Collins. Obviously, you know he

84
00:03:41,188 --> 00:03:43,308
Speaker 6: came in the league's first couple years, started slow, but

85
00:03:43,348 --> 00:03:45,948
Speaker 6: these past three season he's exploded on the scene. You

86
00:03:45,988 --> 00:03:48,228
Speaker 6: talk about a guy that can run every route, can

87
00:03:48,788 --> 00:03:51,748
Speaker 6: do anything. I mean, he's like a deer running down

88
00:03:51,748 --> 00:03:53,908
Speaker 6: a field. You low, tall, but his trying length and

89
00:03:54,028 --> 00:03:56,668
Speaker 6: be able to separate from those defenders. To be the

90
00:03:56,748 --> 00:03:58,828
Speaker 6: one for Houston now and to be able to produce

91
00:03:59,068 --> 00:04:00,748
Speaker 6: year in a year out these past three years and

92
00:04:00,788 --> 00:04:03,188
Speaker 6: I think he's going to continue to do it. Definitely

93
00:04:03,268 --> 00:04:07,548
Speaker 6: underpaid at this point. Another guy that's just going to

94
00:04:07,548 --> 00:04:08,668
Speaker 6: continue to get better with c. J.

95
00:04:08,748 --> 00:04:10,988
Speaker 5: Shrup that's going to benefit from the resetting of the

96
00:04:11,028 --> 00:04:13,828
Speaker 5: market by Jason Smith and Jingbo as well. It's t

97
00:04:13,988 --> 00:04:15,868
Speaker 5: Y Hilton appreciates the fact that you put the tall

98
00:04:15,868 --> 00:04:18,028
Speaker 5: guy on the list and you also acknowledge that he

99
00:04:18,108 --> 00:04:20,108
Speaker 5: is tall. You're not just saying like, hey, they're underrated

100
00:04:20,188 --> 00:04:22,988
Speaker 5: or underappreciated because they're little wide receivers like this guy.

101
00:04:23,068 --> 00:04:25,468
Speaker 5: He's got a body, but he's not quite appreciated the

102
00:04:25,468 --> 00:04:27,308
Speaker 5: way he should be in the NFL. Who's the number

103
00:04:27,308 --> 00:04:29,508
Speaker 5: one on your list underrated wide receiver?

104
00:04:29,668 --> 00:04:34,068
Speaker 6: Chris Chris Alave, guy that you know played with last year.

105
00:04:34,308 --> 00:04:37,468
Speaker 4: You know, he came on the scene early on and produce.

106
00:04:37,268 --> 00:04:38,988
Speaker 6: Out of the high level that was obviously that one

107
00:04:39,028 --> 00:04:41,268
Speaker 6: year he got hurt and then came back this year

108
00:04:41,268 --> 00:04:43,228
Speaker 6: to be able to play with two different quarterbacks and

109
00:04:43,388 --> 00:04:46,108
Speaker 6: produce the way that he did. Obviously, the quarterback situation

110
00:04:46,148 --> 00:04:48,388
Speaker 6: in New Orleans at the beginning of the year was

111
00:04:48,388 --> 00:04:51,188
Speaker 6: a little shaky, you know, with mister Ratler, and then

112
00:04:51,388 --> 00:04:53,908
Speaker 6: you know Shuck comes in and starts to produce, So

113
00:04:53,948 --> 00:04:56,028
Speaker 6: I would love to see him continue to grow, which

114
00:04:56,068 --> 00:04:58,508
Speaker 6: I think he will what Tyler kind of head in

115
00:04:58,508 --> 00:05:00,868
Speaker 6: that spirit at the quarterback position and be able to,

116
00:05:01,788 --> 00:05:02,828
Speaker 6: you know, continue to grow.

117
00:05:02,668 --> 00:05:03,348
Speaker 4: In that aspect.

118
00:05:03,348 --> 00:05:05,508
Speaker 6: But a guy that can run every route, you know,

119
00:05:05,628 --> 00:05:06,708
Speaker 6: coach by one of the best.

120
00:05:06,588 --> 00:05:07,788
Speaker 4: Receiver coaches in the league.

121
00:05:07,828 --> 00:05:09,388
Speaker 6: So I think he's only going to just continue to

122
00:05:09,428 --> 00:05:09,828
Speaker 6: get better.

123
00:05:09,908 --> 00:05:11,548
Speaker 5: It's interesting that you bring that up as we look

124
00:05:11,588 --> 00:05:13,908
Speaker 5: at your top five lists of underrated wide receivers, that

125
00:05:13,948 --> 00:05:16,468
Speaker 5: you say that about Chris o'lave, because I bet you

126
00:05:16,548 --> 00:05:20,068
Speaker 5: have an awareness, Brandon as when you're brought in and

127
00:05:20,108 --> 00:05:22,948
Speaker 5: to be a steadying course for the quarterback play and

128
00:05:22,948 --> 00:05:26,548
Speaker 5: that you are relied upon veterans, someone that has leadership

129
00:05:26,548 --> 00:05:29,268
Speaker 5: and presence within the offense. And so the fact that

130
00:05:29,348 --> 00:05:31,268
Speaker 5: Chris Olave has that the Saints are going to need that.

131
00:05:31,348 --> 00:05:33,188
Speaker 5: All right, here we go two Saints on the list,

132
00:05:33,228 --> 00:05:37,468
Speaker 5: a couple of half three number twelve's and what's Tea

133
00:05:37,548 --> 00:05:41,548
Speaker 5: I wearing those? He twelve two, he's thirteen and then Emmanuel.

134
00:05:41,148 --> 00:05:43,348
Speaker 3: Sanders at ten. Isaac, what do you think of this list?

135
00:05:43,348 --> 00:05:43,828
Speaker 3: Who you got?

136
00:05:44,028 --> 00:05:47,548
Speaker 9: I mean I first saw Brandon great list I'm gonna

137
00:05:47,548 --> 00:05:49,228
Speaker 9: go with t Y as my guy that I want

138
00:05:49,228 --> 00:05:51,268
Speaker 9: to talk about. I played with him and he was

139
00:05:51,308 --> 00:05:54,388
Speaker 9: such an incredible teammate front fact slash quiz.

140
00:05:54,548 --> 00:05:56,348
Speaker 4: Do you know who his best friend on the team was?

141
00:05:56,588 --> 00:05:57,028
Speaker 10: Mmmm?

142
00:05:57,508 --> 00:06:03,988
Speaker 4: You like, no quarterback? No, it was Jack Doyle. Okay.

143
00:06:04,188 --> 00:06:06,948
Speaker 9: It was like the most unconventional friendship. You would never

144
00:06:06,948 --> 00:06:08,948
Speaker 9: put the two of them together, but they were like

145
00:06:09,068 --> 00:06:11,628
Speaker 9: two pieces in a pod. Really, why t Y came

146
00:06:11,628 --> 00:06:13,868
Speaker 9: back his last year was because Jack came back.

147
00:06:14,148 --> 00:06:15,028
Speaker 4: So I love t Y.

148
00:06:15,108 --> 00:06:16,508
Speaker 9: He's just such a team player and he was an

149
00:06:16,548 --> 00:06:18,068
Speaker 9: incredible team love that love here.

150
00:06:18,868 --> 00:06:23,388
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a no brainer, Jamie. This is I mean,

151
00:06:23,548 --> 00:06:25,428
Speaker 4: come on, Hofstra in the building.

152
00:06:25,548 --> 00:06:30,228
Speaker 7: Marcus Olton my brother from another He was my college roommate,

153
00:06:30,908 --> 00:06:33,588
Speaker 7: and I agree with breda man like seriously, one of

154
00:06:33,628 --> 00:06:37,268
Speaker 7: the most underrated receivers in the league history. Honestly, the

155
00:06:37,308 --> 00:06:39,788
Speaker 7: fact that he doesn't have all Pros and Pro Bowls

156
00:06:39,828 --> 00:06:43,708
Speaker 7: on his resume is forever will be like, uh my

157
00:06:43,788 --> 00:06:45,548
Speaker 7: brand explosed to thinking about it.

158
00:06:45,628 --> 00:06:48,108
Speaker 4: But Marcus, I love him, dearly man, and uh you

159
00:06:48,108 --> 00:06:48,428
Speaker 4: know he.

160
00:06:48,468 --> 00:06:51,708
Speaker 7: Should you know, listen, Brandon Can attested this. I think

161
00:06:51,748 --> 00:06:53,508
Speaker 7: he should be in the same Hall of Fame. Yes,

162
00:06:53,548 --> 00:06:55,188
Speaker 7: I think he should be the ring your honor. All

163
00:06:55,228 --> 00:06:58,068
Speaker 7: the athletes that the same staff to offer, he should

164
00:06:58,068 --> 00:06:58,308
Speaker 7: be in.

165
00:06:58,748 --> 00:07:01,788
Speaker 4: And uh, I'm just happy that you know Brandon he's

166
00:07:01,828 --> 00:07:03,908
Speaker 4: a real one and recognized the real one and Mark Coopan.

167
00:07:04,428 --> 00:07:07,188
Speaker 3: Granted it's a great list. Are you prepared for people.

168
00:07:06,908 --> 00:07:09,348
Speaker 5: To give me feedback on the internet about your top

169
00:07:09,348 --> 00:07:11,108
Speaker 5: five underrated wide receivers list?

170
00:07:11,228 --> 00:07:15,228
Speaker 4: Prepared? No? Yes, I mean they criticize you.

171
00:07:15,228 --> 00:07:16,708
Speaker 3: You're right, Yeah, that's a good point.

172
00:07:16,788 --> 00:07:19,468
Speaker 4: You're yeah, they're underrated. Of course you guys would disagree

173
00:07:19,468 --> 00:07:20,028
Speaker 4: with great point.

174
00:07:20,308 --> 00:07:22,668
Speaker 5: Shout out to Hops for pride their appearance at the

175
00:07:22,748 --> 00:07:25,108
Speaker 5: NCAA tournament as well, and Twilly Coloon and all of

176
00:07:25,108 --> 00:07:27,508
Speaker 5: the Hofstra grades that came upon us in the NFL.

177
00:07:27,708 --> 00:07:30,228
Speaker 5: That is the top five underrated wide receivers list. A

178
00:07:30,268 --> 00:07:32,948
Speaker 5: couple of current players, Nico Collins of course with Houston Texans.

179
00:07:32,988 --> 00:07:35,708
Speaker 3: Keep an eye on for well he will be paid

180
00:07:35,748 --> 00:07:36,588
Speaker 3: here in the future.

181
00:07:38,748 --> 00:07:42,548
Speaker 11: I don't think the NFL understands how good JSN is.

182
00:07:42,588 --> 00:07:44,388
Speaker 2: He's just glide see you later.

183
00:07:44,748 --> 00:07:46,388
Speaker 4: I'm faster than you can.

184
00:07:46,468 --> 00:07:53,668
Speaker 12: Guess who Jay Yeah said he was wide opening.

185
00:07:55,108 --> 00:07:56,428
Speaker 4: He's just taking him to school.

186
00:07:56,508 --> 00:07:59,268
Speaker 7: He has a few da route running defense, the fact

187
00:07:59,388 --> 00:08:00,948
Speaker 7: stop and serry, who the hell.

188
00:08:00,908 --> 00:08:04,268
Speaker 8: Was the post recovery of Brandy rating.

189
00:08:09,028 --> 00:08:10,148
Speaker 3: Life comes at you fast.

190
00:08:10,188 --> 00:08:13,788
Speaker 13: Here we go our NFL insider Ian Rappaport hosting this.

191
00:08:13,988 --> 00:08:14,908
Speaker 3: The Seahawks and.

192
00:08:14,988 --> 00:08:17,548
Speaker 13: Jackson Smith and Jigba have a deal as he is

193
00:08:17,588 --> 00:08:20,348
Speaker 13: now the highest paid wide receiver in the NFL, getting

194
00:08:20,388 --> 00:08:22,908
Speaker 13: a four year, one hundred and sixty eight point six

195
00:08:22,948 --> 00:08:27,028
Speaker 13: million dollar contract with one hundred and twenty million guaranteed.

196
00:08:27,748 --> 00:08:31,948
Speaker 13: So that's it JSN becoming the highest paid wide receiver.

197
00:08:31,748 --> 00:08:32,588
Speaker 4: In the NFL.

198
00:08:32,788 --> 00:08:35,868
Speaker 13: Willie, what do you think of the Seahawks paying their

199
00:08:35,868 --> 00:08:37,348
Speaker 13: offensive player of the year.

200
00:08:37,788 --> 00:08:40,228
Speaker 4: It was well deserved, man, Jaysent. We've all watched him

201
00:08:40,228 --> 00:08:41,708
Speaker 4: the season. He had a hell of a season.

202
00:08:41,748 --> 00:08:41,908
Speaker 14: Man.

203
00:08:41,908 --> 00:08:43,988
Speaker 7: You talk about his ability to tilt the field with

204
00:08:44,028 --> 00:08:46,468
Speaker 7: his play along and I think, right now, if you're

205
00:08:46,548 --> 00:08:49,988
Speaker 7: the Seattle Seahawks clump coming off of you know, an

206
00:08:50,028 --> 00:08:52,188
Speaker 7: exciting Super Bowl and a super Bowl where he was

207
00:08:52,228 --> 00:08:55,108
Speaker 7: a very productive, productive because I think the defense is

208
00:08:55,148 --> 00:08:57,588
Speaker 7: solely focused on him. But I also think, right now,

209
00:08:57,668 --> 00:09:00,828
Speaker 7: Jason Man, you know, the way he's his trajectory is

210
00:09:00,908 --> 00:09:03,308
Speaker 7: doing this guy is going to be in Canon one day,

211
00:09:03,428 --> 00:09:05,108
Speaker 7: and I think he's going to be a Seahawks for

212
00:09:05,148 --> 00:09:07,628
Speaker 7: life as much as it possibly can they allow him

213
00:09:07,668 --> 00:09:11,108
Speaker 7: to be. But nevertheless, man, he's arguably the top five

214
00:09:11,148 --> 00:09:13,628
Speaker 7: receiver in the league for a guy his size. He

215
00:09:13,708 --> 00:09:17,068
Speaker 7: plays bigger, right, He's a guy even with double covered man,

216
00:09:17,348 --> 00:09:21,308
Speaker 7: he somehow impacts the impacks the field Seahawks and shows

217
00:09:21,348 --> 00:09:24,068
Speaker 7: up and plays at a big level. So congratulations to him,

218
00:09:24,108 --> 00:09:26,988
Speaker 7: congratulations of Seahawks. They got the answer on the outside

219
00:09:26,988 --> 00:09:28,868
Speaker 7: for a long time. Well deserved to the young fellow.

220
00:09:29,068 --> 00:09:32,708
Speaker 10: Yeah, this real quiet assassin, you know, in my eyes,

221
00:09:33,068 --> 00:09:35,668
Speaker 10: a guy that's really all about business. You know, when

222
00:09:35,708 --> 00:09:37,788
Speaker 10: he steps on the field, you know exactly what you're

223
00:09:37,788 --> 00:09:41,988
Speaker 10: gonna get. And that is why they chose to pay him,

224
00:09:42,068 --> 00:09:45,468
Speaker 10: is because not only was he productive in the regular season,

225
00:09:45,868 --> 00:09:48,828
Speaker 10: but in the postseason when when it mattered, when it

226
00:09:48,988 --> 00:09:51,948
Speaker 10: counted the most, he continued to show up. And again

227
00:09:52,508 --> 00:09:55,268
Speaker 10: like he's a guy that demands double team, it's going

228
00:09:55,348 --> 00:09:59,108
Speaker 10: to continue to command that the way that he's playing.

229
00:09:59,228 --> 00:10:02,708
Speaker 10: And so what what this does is he opens the

230
00:10:02,748 --> 00:10:04,708
Speaker 10: floor up for so many other guys. I was like

231
00:10:04,748 --> 00:10:08,068
Speaker 10: Cooper Cup and company, but I'm excited, you know that

232
00:10:08,148 --> 00:10:10,828
Speaker 10: they secured this deal. They got him locked in because

233
00:10:10,868 --> 00:10:13,468
Speaker 10: you don't want, you know, to go into the offseason

234
00:10:13,508 --> 00:10:14,388
Speaker 10: any further.

235
00:10:14,228 --> 00:10:17,908
Speaker 4: With with questions. Right now we have answers.

236
00:10:18,188 --> 00:10:20,588
Speaker 10: They know exactly where they want to go. They secure

237
00:10:20,668 --> 00:10:23,188
Speaker 10: their top dog, and I know Sam Donald is happy

238
00:10:23,188 --> 00:10:23,588
Speaker 10: as well.

239
00:10:23,788 --> 00:10:25,228
Speaker 4: Yeah, Sam Donald is hype.

240
00:10:25,708 --> 00:10:27,948
Speaker 9: Here's the thing, Willie, we said this earlier, like this

241
00:10:28,068 --> 00:10:30,268
Speaker 9: was the time to do it. Sam Donald's making under

242
00:10:30,308 --> 00:10:33,228
Speaker 9: twenty eight million dollars next year, which is crazy for

243
00:10:33,308 --> 00:10:35,748
Speaker 9: a Super Bowl winning quarterback. Now is the time to

244
00:10:35,748 --> 00:10:38,428
Speaker 9: get these deals done. And I think this is what

245
00:10:38,468 --> 00:10:41,628
Speaker 9: it is. It's as a spectator, as somebody on TV,

246
00:10:41,748 --> 00:10:43,988
Speaker 9: or as a fan whatever, you just like to see

247
00:10:43,988 --> 00:10:45,068
Speaker 9: it make sense.

248
00:10:45,028 --> 00:10:46,348
Speaker 4: Like it makes sense.

249
00:10:46,428 --> 00:10:48,428
Speaker 9: He's a top receiver in the NFL, they won a

250
00:10:48,468 --> 00:10:51,508
Speaker 9: Super Bowl, Seattle loves him, Pay him and move on.

251
00:10:51,748 --> 00:10:52,988
Speaker 4: Like and I think that the.

252
00:10:52,988 --> 00:10:56,388
Speaker 9: Twelve the fans in Seattle were a little hurt after

253
00:10:56,548 --> 00:10:58,428
Speaker 9: they let Kenneth Walker go. I mean, it's the same

254
00:10:58,468 --> 00:11:01,068
Speaker 9: situation where you have the money, pay the guy, it

255
00:11:01,108 --> 00:11:03,308
Speaker 9: didn't happen. And I think this just kind of restores

256
00:11:03,308 --> 00:11:05,588
Speaker 9: faith in this this can unity in this fan base.

257
00:11:05,788 --> 00:11:07,428
Speaker 9: And I just think it's good for football and good

258
00:11:07,468 --> 00:11:09,988
Speaker 9: for the twelve. So it makes sense. You love to

259
00:11:10,028 --> 00:11:12,588
Speaker 9: see it, and like you said, Brodney, you hit it

260
00:11:12,628 --> 00:11:15,148
Speaker 9: spot on. As a former player, you love to see

261
00:11:15,228 --> 00:11:17,508
Speaker 9: guys get paid. I'll never hate on somebody getting money.

262
00:11:17,548 --> 00:11:19,788
Speaker 9: I don't care what the situation is. Get paid. So

263
00:11:19,868 --> 00:11:21,308
Speaker 9: he deserves it. I'm happy for him.

264
00:11:21,428 --> 00:11:24,268
Speaker 13: Yeah, continuity for Donald is weld important. Rushisa he's still

265
00:11:24,268 --> 00:11:27,628
Speaker 13: coming back too, so he's got two big pieces that

266
00:11:27,668 --> 00:11:29,068
Speaker 13: are still going to be part of that offense.

267
00:11:29,148 --> 00:11:29,268
Speaker 4: Right.

268
00:11:29,708 --> 00:11:32,948
Speaker 10: No, that's huge, you know from a quarterback perspective, you know,

269
00:11:33,068 --> 00:11:36,908
Speaker 10: having the guys your your primary outlets, guys that you

270
00:11:36,988 --> 00:11:41,028
Speaker 10: rely on again to get that chemistry back going again.

271
00:11:41,228 --> 00:11:44,628
Speaker 10: Right now, things have to reset, you restart. It's a

272
00:11:44,668 --> 00:11:47,628
Speaker 10: new season, and so that means, you know, you got

273
00:11:47,668 --> 00:11:51,508
Speaker 10: to recreate that same hunger and motivation and drive that

274
00:11:51,548 --> 00:11:53,028
Speaker 10: you had last year to hold up that.

275
00:11:53,028 --> 00:11:54,588
Speaker 4: Lombardy and so they're.

276
00:11:54,388 --> 00:11:56,268
Speaker 10: Going to need to get back to that offseason training

277
00:11:56,308 --> 00:11:58,308
Speaker 10: and so it's good to know that those two guys

278
00:11:58,348 --> 00:11:58,788
Speaker 10: are locked in.

279
00:11:58,868 --> 00:12:00,908
Speaker 4: They can start working out together, no doubt.

280
00:12:17,388 --> 00:12:19,148
Speaker 2: Good Morning Football.

281
00:12:19,428 --> 00:12:21,428
Speaker 5: We have to talk about the NFC South because there's

282
00:12:21,428 --> 00:12:23,708
Speaker 5: a new Falcons quarterback in town, and his name is

283
00:12:23,708 --> 00:12:26,868
Speaker 5: tutunga Iloa, the second lefty quarterback in Atlanta, met with

284
00:12:26,908 --> 00:12:29,948
Speaker 5: the media yesterday and he said his relationship with fellow

285
00:12:30,108 --> 00:12:33,668
Speaker 5: signal caller Michael Tennis Junior, who is currently recovering from

286
00:12:33,708 --> 00:12:36,188
Speaker 5: a torn acl injury that he suffered back in November.

287
00:12:36,268 --> 00:12:38,068
Speaker 5: This is what they talked about at the media session.

288
00:12:38,188 --> 00:12:40,028
Speaker 3: The team has not yet announced a starter for.

289
00:12:39,988 --> 00:12:42,948
Speaker 5: The upcoming season, but Tua says competition is.

290
00:12:42,908 --> 00:12:43,828
Speaker 3: Always a part of the game.

291
00:12:45,588 --> 00:12:49,228
Speaker 15: I would say, you don't choose a team based off

292
00:12:49,268 --> 00:12:51,228
Speaker 15: of whether I'm going to be starting or not. I

293
00:12:51,268 --> 00:12:53,908
Speaker 15: think you look at the entirety of the group. Right

294
00:12:54,028 --> 00:12:56,508
Speaker 15: as I was looking at the other teams, you know,

295
00:12:56,548 --> 00:12:59,228
Speaker 15: I knew I had to compete, regardless of what that

296
00:12:59,388 --> 00:13:01,668
Speaker 15: was going to look like coming here. I kind of

297
00:13:01,788 --> 00:13:05,268
Speaker 15: know Mike a little bit based off of his relationship

298
00:13:05,308 --> 00:13:07,668
Speaker 15: with my little brother as they were coming out for

299
00:13:07,788 --> 00:13:09,908
Speaker 15: the draft. But last year wasn't the best year for me,

300
00:13:10,228 --> 00:13:13,908
Speaker 15: and you know, I'm looking for a fresh start, but

301
00:13:14,428 --> 00:13:17,308
Speaker 15: fresh start in the sense of being able to compete,

302
00:13:17,508 --> 00:13:19,828
Speaker 15: being able to go back out there and playing football

303
00:13:20,188 --> 00:13:22,188
Speaker 15: good football, and I think the best football is still

304
00:13:22,228 --> 00:13:22,628
Speaker 15: ahead of.

305
00:13:22,588 --> 00:13:26,308
Speaker 5: Me, Michael Pennocks junior having bounced around in college, and

306
00:13:26,348 --> 00:13:28,268
Speaker 5: of course we know what his college career looked like

307
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:29,988
Speaker 5: to his younger brother Taula, so they're.

308
00:13:29,828 --> 00:13:30,548
Speaker 3: The same age.

309
00:13:30,788 --> 00:13:33,588
Speaker 5: But now Tua and Michael Penick Junior are on the

310
00:13:33,588 --> 00:13:36,228
Speaker 5: same team in Atlanta. Tua says his best football is

311
00:13:36,228 --> 00:13:38,108
Speaker 5: ahead of him. Isaac, you hear that we know what

312
00:13:38,268 --> 00:13:39,428
Speaker 5: is behind him already.

313
00:13:39,668 --> 00:13:40,948
Speaker 3: So what do you make of that statement?

314
00:13:41,148 --> 00:13:43,428
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, first off, I think it's wild when you say,

315
00:13:43,468 --> 00:13:45,108
Speaker 9: like panics bounced around in college.

316
00:13:45,348 --> 00:13:46,508
Speaker 4: That's just such a crazy thing.

317
00:13:46,588 --> 00:13:48,988
Speaker 9: The transfer portal, all that whole other segment that we

318
00:13:49,028 --> 00:13:51,468
Speaker 9: could have, but I'm excited for to it.

319
00:13:51,508 --> 00:13:52,828
Speaker 4: Here's the thing we love Tua.

320
00:13:53,028 --> 00:13:55,868
Speaker 9: Tua is one of the most charismatic guys. Like when

321
00:13:55,908 --> 00:13:58,228
Speaker 9: you see him on TV, he's smiling, you can feel

322
00:13:58,268 --> 00:13:58,788
Speaker 9: the energy.

323
00:13:59,148 --> 00:13:59,988
Speaker 4: But the two that.

324
00:13:59,988 --> 00:14:03,148
Speaker 9: We saw last year and the playful Tua and the

325
00:14:03,188 --> 00:14:05,948
Speaker 9: two of that got blown out by the Steelers and

326
00:14:06,028 --> 00:14:06,508
Speaker 9: was laughing.

327
00:14:06,548 --> 00:14:07,428
Speaker 4: You just saw the cliff.

328
00:14:07,788 --> 00:14:10,508
Speaker 9: That's the Tua that I think kind of change people's

329
00:14:10,548 --> 00:14:12,668
Speaker 9: minds a little bit, right, It left a sour taste

330
00:14:12,668 --> 00:14:15,668
Speaker 9: in people's mouths. I mean, look, Tua is super well

331
00:14:15,788 --> 00:14:17,108
Speaker 9: compensated for what he does.

332
00:14:17,468 --> 00:14:20,108
Speaker 4: He is was year six. He's a team leader.

333
00:14:20,268 --> 00:14:23,068
Speaker 9: I think the whole organization needed more from him, and

334
00:14:23,108 --> 00:14:25,588
Speaker 9: for that, I'm like, man, do we need a question

335
00:14:25,628 --> 00:14:27,988
Speaker 9: who Tua is in these situations? He's going to the

336
00:14:27,988 --> 00:14:30,948
Speaker 9: Falcons and he's potentially going to be a backup, He's

337
00:14:30,988 --> 00:14:32,268
Speaker 9: going to be competing.

338
00:14:31,868 --> 00:14:32,428
Speaker 4: For a spot.

339
00:14:32,628 --> 00:14:37,108
Speaker 9: Is Tua could he operate in a backup scenario with

340
00:14:37,188 --> 00:14:39,708
Speaker 9: the Falcons? A team that just drafted Pennix in the

341
00:14:39,748 --> 00:14:42,468
Speaker 9: first round and they probably want to develop him and

342
00:14:42,508 --> 00:14:44,788
Speaker 9: turn him into a potential starter. I don't know if

343
00:14:44,788 --> 00:14:46,908
Speaker 9: he can be a backup. So that's a question mark

344
00:14:46,948 --> 00:14:49,428
Speaker 9: in my mind. And the other thing is this the

345
00:14:49,548 --> 00:14:51,868
Speaker 9: fans give it all because Stefanski has been a very

346
00:14:51,868 --> 00:14:55,508
Speaker 9: complicated quarterback rooms and so I'm like this, is that

347
00:14:55,548 --> 00:14:57,988
Speaker 9: a Stefanski thing? Was that a Andrew Berry thing with

348
00:14:58,028 --> 00:14:58,548
Speaker 9: the Browns?

349
00:14:58,548 --> 00:14:58,628
Speaker 8: Like?

350
00:14:58,668 --> 00:15:01,268
Speaker 9: What type of energy is being brought to the quarterback

351
00:15:01,348 --> 00:15:02,268
Speaker 9: room with the Falcons.

352
00:15:02,308 --> 00:15:03,388
Speaker 4: That's a question mark for me.

353
00:15:03,628 --> 00:15:07,268
Speaker 9: But what I will say conclusively this this video we

354
00:15:07,348 --> 00:15:09,828
Speaker 9: just saw up to uh was really refreshing. I mean

355
00:15:09,868 --> 00:15:11,428
Speaker 9: you watch it and you're like, Okay, let's get back

356
00:15:11,428 --> 00:15:13,708
Speaker 9: to the old two. Like I want to see the

357
00:15:13,748 --> 00:15:15,628
Speaker 9: old two. I want to see the charismatic too, who's

358
00:15:15,668 --> 00:15:18,228
Speaker 9: making plays and making an impact on the field. But

359
00:15:18,308 --> 00:15:20,228
Speaker 9: I think right now there's this fine line when I

360
00:15:20,228 --> 00:15:22,348
Speaker 9: think about him, where it's like, is the charisma and

361
00:15:22,428 --> 00:15:25,668
Speaker 9: playfulness not serious and again we saw it last year?

362
00:15:25,748 --> 00:15:28,148
Speaker 9: Or is that going to be him being a great leader.

363
00:15:28,188 --> 00:15:30,148
Speaker 9: I think the best football could be ahead of him,

364
00:15:30,228 --> 00:15:31,708
Speaker 9: but I think there's so many question marks.

365
00:15:31,748 --> 00:15:32,588
Speaker 4: I just don't know yet.

366
00:15:33,268 --> 00:15:35,188
Speaker 6: I agree with you at the end of the day,

367
00:15:35,188 --> 00:15:39,708
Speaker 6: I think his uh, his football, that's ahead on it.

368
00:15:39,708 --> 00:15:42,588
Speaker 6: It's his last shot, right, so and that you know,

369
00:15:42,628 --> 00:15:44,108
Speaker 6: that's the way I take it. So the best has

370
00:15:44,148 --> 00:15:47,388
Speaker 6: to come out the competition, like we talked about, you

371
00:15:47,428 --> 00:15:49,428
Speaker 6: know that that should bring the best out of you.

372
00:15:49,428 --> 00:15:52,068
Speaker 6: You see those clips, he's laughing around clearly at you know,

373
00:15:52,148 --> 00:15:55,548
Speaker 6: he was not in it anymore with Miami Dolphins, right,

374
00:15:55,628 --> 00:15:57,828
Speaker 6: and so, like he talked about in that clip, there's

375
00:15:57,868 --> 00:16:00,228
Speaker 6: a fresh start. So let it go, right, let it

376
00:16:00,268 --> 00:16:00,828
Speaker 6: go frozen.

377
00:16:00,828 --> 00:16:03,988
Speaker 4: We all got kids here, let it go and uh, you.

378
00:16:04,028 --> 00:16:06,668
Speaker 6: Got the time coach of the year in Stefanski, so

379
00:16:06,908 --> 00:16:09,548
Speaker 6: we all know he can develop quarterbacks so what is

380
00:16:09,548 --> 00:16:12,508
Speaker 6: that room going to look like? I think Tua ends

381
00:16:12,588 --> 00:16:15,788
Speaker 6: up winning that starting job because you know, Pennicks's office

382
00:16:15,988 --> 00:16:19,788
Speaker 6: still recovering, and so Tula got a fresh set of weapons.

383
00:16:19,868 --> 00:16:21,508
Speaker 6: You know, got a guy in the backfield that he

384
00:16:21,548 --> 00:16:23,028
Speaker 6: can not only hand the ball all to, but he

385
00:16:23,068 --> 00:16:25,708
Speaker 6: can throw it to as well. So some complimentary pieces

386
00:16:25,748 --> 00:16:28,828
Speaker 6: around them. But let's lock in, let the plan go,

387
00:16:29,228 --> 00:16:30,708
Speaker 6: and let's go out there and win some games. You

388
00:16:30,788 --> 00:16:33,308
Speaker 6: in the division, whereas wide open in the NFC South,

389
00:16:33,348 --> 00:16:36,148
Speaker 6: it is yours for the taking. You're no longer going

390
00:16:36,188 --> 00:16:40,028
Speaker 6: against Buffalo and Pats weekend and week out, or whatever

391
00:16:40,068 --> 00:16:43,028
Speaker 6: the case may be. You're going against you know, the Saints,

392
00:16:43,068 --> 00:16:44,268
Speaker 6: Carolina and Tampa Bay.

393
00:16:44,308 --> 00:16:46,428
Speaker 4: So is yours to win. Go out there and take it,

394
00:16:46,588 --> 00:16:47,308
Speaker 4: and let's lock in.

395
00:16:47,948 --> 00:16:49,548
Speaker 12: See that number in the bottom there, one year, one

396
00:16:49,548 --> 00:16:51,868
Speaker 12: point three million dollar contract, you might be saying, that's it.

397
00:16:51,908 --> 00:16:54,228
Speaker 8: That's all through tongue by Loa is making. Now if

398
00:16:54,308 --> 00:16:56,268
Speaker 8: you're just helicoptering in.

399
00:16:56,268 --> 00:16:57,748
Speaker 4: Here, let's explain what's going on.

400
00:16:58,108 --> 00:17:01,428
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, the Dolphins are picking up the brunt of

401
00:17:01,468 --> 00:17:03,188
Speaker 12: what they owe to a tongue of by Loa this

402
00:17:03,308 --> 00:17:04,028
Speaker 12: upcoming season.

403
00:17:04,068 --> 00:17:05,748
Speaker 8: Here fifty plus million dollars.

404
00:17:06,068 --> 00:17:08,748
Speaker 12: And I know folks said, what a terrible contract, right

405
00:17:08,988 --> 00:17:11,668
Speaker 12: are How could you possibly get yourselfing to say where

406
00:17:11,708 --> 00:17:13,668
Speaker 12: you owe him that much money and you're basically paying

407
00:17:13,708 --> 00:17:14,628
Speaker 12: them all that money.

408
00:17:14,428 --> 00:17:14,988
Speaker 4: To go away.

409
00:17:15,508 --> 00:17:18,188
Speaker 12: Well, that deal was signed in twenty twenty four in

410
00:17:18,228 --> 00:17:21,588
Speaker 12: the summer, and it came after the twenty twenty three season.

411
00:17:21,668 --> 00:17:23,788
Speaker 8: You remember who led the NFL in passing in twenty

412
00:17:23,828 --> 00:17:25,268
Speaker 8: twenty three. I'll give you a hint.

413
00:17:25,428 --> 00:17:27,788
Speaker 12: It's to a tongue of my low who led the NFL,

414
00:17:27,908 --> 00:17:31,068
Speaker 12: but he was dealing that year. And Mike McDaniel's offense

415
00:17:31,628 --> 00:17:33,828
Speaker 12: when it is humming, it is quarterback friendly.

416
00:17:34,148 --> 00:17:36,628
Speaker 8: Heck, it's running back friendly, it's wide receiver friendly.

417
00:17:36,428 --> 00:17:39,028
Speaker 12: It's tight end for it's friendly for everybody. And that's

418
00:17:39,068 --> 00:17:41,388
Speaker 12: why those numbers were going up. But Tour was on

419
00:17:41,548 --> 00:17:44,308
Speaker 12: point and Tool was showing at that moment that he

420
00:17:44,508 --> 00:17:46,988
Speaker 12: was a franchise quarterback that can be the trigger man

421
00:17:47,028 --> 00:17:49,388
Speaker 12: in that offense that they expected to be the offense

422
00:17:49,468 --> 00:17:50,908
Speaker 12: down there for quite some time. Now you got an

423
00:17:50,988 --> 00:17:53,868
Speaker 12: entirely new regime down there, which is obviously a huge factor.

424
00:17:53,908 --> 00:17:56,348
Speaker 12: And also what happened was to getting benched last year.

425
00:17:56,388 --> 00:17:58,748
Speaker 12: But My point here is his best football is in

426
00:17:58,788 --> 00:18:01,188
Speaker 12: front of him. I don't know, man, this was some

427
00:18:01,308 --> 00:18:03,828
Speaker 12: really good football back in twenty twenty three.

428
00:18:03,948 --> 00:18:05,548
Speaker 8: I'd like to see him recapture it.

429
00:18:05,548 --> 00:18:06,228
Speaker 4: It would be fun.

430
00:18:06,308 --> 00:18:07,468
Speaker 8: It'd be a great storyline.

431
00:18:07,508 --> 00:18:09,788
Speaker 12: It'd be grittin for Tua, who I seem to enjoy

432
00:18:10,428 --> 00:18:12,708
Speaker 12: or who I do enjoy, you know, watching and talking

433
00:18:12,748 --> 00:18:15,988
Speaker 12: to and watch him playing on the field and talking

434
00:18:15,988 --> 00:18:16,428
Speaker 12: off the field.

435
00:18:16,508 --> 00:18:17,228
Speaker 8: So that'd be great.

436
00:18:17,708 --> 00:18:20,548
Speaker 12: But that was some really good football back in twenty twenty.

437
00:18:20,588 --> 00:18:21,388
Speaker 4: That's so easy to be.

438
00:18:21,508 --> 00:18:23,548
Speaker 12: He's injury prone, and he was laughing at the end

439
00:18:23,548 --> 00:18:26,028
Speaker 12: of the game and all the mistakes, and Tua played

440
00:18:26,068 --> 00:18:28,028
Speaker 12: some really good football and put himself in a position

441
00:18:28,068 --> 00:18:30,268
Speaker 12: for that contract, which allowed the Falcons to get him

442
00:18:30,268 --> 00:18:31,588
Speaker 12: at such your bargain rate deal.

443
00:18:31,548 --> 00:18:34,028
Speaker 5: Mike, Can we continue to clarify the contract situation though,

444
00:18:34,028 --> 00:18:36,388
Speaker 5: because if you're saying that at one year one point

445
00:18:36,388 --> 00:18:38,668
Speaker 5: three miled is that he didn't have one year left

446
00:18:38,668 --> 00:18:39,188
Speaker 5: on the deal.

447
00:18:39,268 --> 00:18:40,708
Speaker 3: So the next year.

448
00:18:40,668 --> 00:18:42,668
Speaker 5: Let's say he signs a one year deal with somebody else,

449
00:18:42,988 --> 00:18:45,028
Speaker 5: that team then only has assign him to like what

450
00:18:45,108 --> 00:18:47,468
Speaker 5: feels like a bare minimum and adult like, how long

451
00:18:47,508 --> 00:18:48,668
Speaker 5: are the Dolphins on the hook.

452
00:18:49,068 --> 00:18:50,868
Speaker 8: Now, this is the last year of a guaranteed money

453
00:18:50,868 --> 00:18:53,668
Speaker 8: for the Dolph the Gears. This is the point. Yeah, right,

454
00:18:53,708 --> 00:18:54,988
Speaker 8: the same thing with Kyler Murray.

455
00:18:55,348 --> 00:18:57,388
Speaker 12: Now in Kyler's case, and I don't think this was

456
00:18:57,428 --> 00:18:59,828
Speaker 12: the case with tuas contract if I'm recalling correctly, but

457
00:19:00,068 --> 00:19:03,068
Speaker 12: Kyler had guarantees in twenty twenty seven that would have

458
00:19:03,108 --> 00:19:05,428
Speaker 12: triggered if he was on the roster here in twenty

459
00:19:05,428 --> 00:19:07,828
Speaker 12: twenty six. So the Cardinals, much like the Broncos a

460
00:19:07,828 --> 00:19:09,628
Speaker 12: couple of years ago with Russell Wilson.

461
00:19:09,268 --> 00:19:10,708
Speaker 8: Said this is gonna suck.

462
00:19:10,908 --> 00:19:12,868
Speaker 12: We're going to take this on the chin for a year,

463
00:19:13,388 --> 00:19:15,948
Speaker 12: but this avoids it sucking even more the following year.

464
00:19:15,948 --> 00:19:17,548
Speaker 12: In two his case, it was just there was a

465
00:19:17,548 --> 00:19:20,308
Speaker 12: big number this year, a new regime coming in. Yes,

466
00:19:20,388 --> 00:19:22,148
Speaker 12: it's gonna suck for them as well, but it's.

467
00:19:22,028 --> 00:19:22,628
Speaker 4: Time to move on.

468
00:19:22,908 --> 00:19:25,068
Speaker 9: Yeah, this is interesting though, Mike Jeeve, real quick, what

469
00:19:25,148 --> 00:19:27,388
Speaker 9: was the number that the Dolphins are left to pay?

470
00:19:27,988 --> 00:19:29,988
Speaker 8: Oh, you got me going through my stuff?

471
00:19:30,308 --> 00:19:31,668
Speaker 4: Well you can, you can come back with it.

472
00:19:31,748 --> 00:19:35,388
Speaker 8: But the point is fifty good.

473
00:19:34,548 --> 00:19:37,268
Speaker 9: Something fifth, let's say call it fifty miil The thing

474
00:19:37,308 --> 00:19:40,148
Speaker 9: that's interesting to me is again, like we saw these

475
00:19:40,188 --> 00:19:42,508
Speaker 9: clips of to a laughing after the game when they

476
00:19:42,508 --> 00:19:46,748
Speaker 9: got blown out. The Dolphins were so adamant about getting

477
00:19:46,828 --> 00:19:48,628
Speaker 9: rid of him that they're willing to take a fifty

478
00:19:48,668 --> 00:19:52,188
Speaker 9: million dollars hit to the chin. It's really interesting to me,

479
00:19:52,228 --> 00:19:54,468
Speaker 9: and I'm Brandon. I want to ask you when you're

480
00:19:54,668 --> 00:19:56,548
Speaker 9: like in a locker room. You got a guy like

481
00:19:56,588 --> 00:19:59,388
Speaker 9: that who's getting paid that much, he's a huge team leader,

482
00:19:59,748 --> 00:20:02,388
Speaker 9: and then you see those types of things after the game,

483
00:20:02,628 --> 00:20:05,108
Speaker 9: how does that affect you as his teammate? And then

484
00:20:05,148 --> 00:20:07,788
Speaker 9: even the Falcons as they see him coming in, how

485
00:20:07,788 --> 00:20:09,108
Speaker 9: do you think they're viewing him?

486
00:20:09,348 --> 00:20:12,228
Speaker 6: Well, that's huge you see something like that, especially from

487
00:20:12,268 --> 00:20:14,668
Speaker 6: your leader, You're like, I mean, do you even care anymore?

488
00:20:14,908 --> 00:20:17,228
Speaker 6: You know we're out here fighting our tails off. We

489
00:20:17,268 --> 00:20:19,508
Speaker 6: know you got fifty million come in, whatever the case

490
00:20:19,548 --> 00:20:21,428
Speaker 6: may be, so we know you're taken care of, but

491
00:20:21,948 --> 00:20:23,588
Speaker 6: do you care about us? And that goes back to

492
00:20:23,708 --> 00:20:26,428
Speaker 6: my point of you know, Mike, the stats were great,

493
00:20:26,788 --> 00:20:29,108
Speaker 6: but best for the football ahead of you? Is also

494
00:20:29,148 --> 00:20:31,028
Speaker 6: talking about can I lead a team? Can I get

495
00:20:31,068 --> 00:20:33,628
Speaker 6: the band to follow me? And I'm interested to see

496
00:20:33,748 --> 00:20:35,828
Speaker 6: in Atlanta can that happen. To answer your question. I

497
00:20:35,908 --> 00:20:37,908
Speaker 6: think he's able to because he looks back at those

498
00:20:37,908 --> 00:20:40,588
Speaker 6: moments like, man, that's not who I am, and that's

499
00:20:40,588 --> 00:20:41,908
Speaker 6: why I go back to let's lock in.

500
00:20:41,988 --> 00:20:44,948
Speaker 5: Britain's always a fun reminder too. Catching a ball from

501
00:20:45,028 --> 00:20:47,268
Speaker 5: left handed quarterbacks? Is its very different?

502
00:20:47,348 --> 00:20:49,388
Speaker 4: You don't like it very different?

503
00:20:49,908 --> 00:20:52,708
Speaker 6: Really, if I have a right handed quarterback that I

504
00:20:52,748 --> 00:20:54,748
Speaker 6: know I'm playing with during the season and there's a

505
00:20:54,828 --> 00:20:57,428
Speaker 6: left headed quarterback, I will not catch a ball and

506
00:20:57,508 --> 00:20:59,628
Speaker 6: I don't know what it is, but I only want

507
00:20:59,668 --> 00:21:01,588
Speaker 6: that sman to come out from a right handed.

508
00:21:01,428 --> 00:21:03,748
Speaker 5: Quarterback, all right, So Pennick Junior again and to a

509
00:21:03,788 --> 00:21:06,468
Speaker 5: both left. So maybe Stefanski is just kind of like, well,

510
00:21:06,508 --> 00:21:08,548
Speaker 5: I'll just have my receivers be nice and comfortable so

511
00:21:08,588 --> 00:21:10,188
Speaker 5: then I don't have to choose and then they're not

512
00:21:10,228 --> 00:21:12,988
Speaker 5: put into precarious situations. A couple things that you guys

513
00:21:13,028 --> 00:21:14,988
Speaker 5: touched on, I want to make sure that we remember

514
00:21:15,028 --> 00:21:17,548
Speaker 5: correctly as well, which is to your point about leading

515
00:21:17,588 --> 00:21:20,148
Speaker 5: a team. Brandon Tua hit some speed bumps last year

516
00:21:20,188 --> 00:21:22,308
Speaker 5: with that. Even when he was calling out his teammates

517
00:21:22,308 --> 00:21:26,148
Speaker 5: about whether it was very clandestine, he essentially was implying

518
00:21:26,148 --> 00:21:28,268
Speaker 5: that guys weren't showing up to meetings on time and

519
00:21:28,268 --> 00:21:30,508
Speaker 5: that we got to step up. I covered them in

520
00:21:30,548 --> 00:21:33,588
Speaker 5: the Madrid game against the Commanders, and there was still

521
00:21:33,668 --> 00:21:36,388
Speaker 5: clarification of what Tuo really meant. And anytime you're put

522
00:21:36,468 --> 00:21:38,588
Speaker 5: into that scenario as a team leader in the locker room,

523
00:21:38,708 --> 00:21:41,228
Speaker 5: you're still clarifying something you said a couple weeks back.

524
00:21:41,468 --> 00:21:44,788
Speaker 5: That's a hard position to be in. Secondly, we've mentioned

525
00:21:44,828 --> 00:21:48,068
Speaker 5: his name once before, but this topic is reminding me

526
00:21:48,188 --> 00:21:50,308
Speaker 5: of what we thought we could have had with Mike

527
00:21:50,388 --> 00:21:52,428
Speaker 5: McDaniel and to a tongue of Violoa and the fact

528
00:21:52,468 --> 00:21:55,828
Speaker 5: that that offense was a Ferrari with Tyreek Hill with

529
00:21:55,868 --> 00:21:58,108
Speaker 5: some of the running backs, and they would always peter out.

530
00:21:58,108 --> 00:21:59,588
Speaker 5: They would run out of gas on the side of

531
00:21:59,628 --> 00:22:02,708
Speaker 5: the road when they would hit the bills schedule in December.

532
00:22:02,988 --> 00:22:04,348
Speaker 3: Now you're seeing Mike McDaniel.

533
00:22:04,428 --> 00:22:07,348
Speaker 5: I'll pair up with a Harbaugh and a Herbert in

534
00:22:07,468 --> 00:22:09,788
Speaker 5: Los Angeles. And when I say those names to you,

535
00:22:09,828 --> 00:22:11,988
Speaker 5: Brandon Cooks, why are you chuckling? It's gonna be really

536
00:22:12,068 --> 00:22:14,668
Speaker 5: fun to watch this unfold, because let's remind ourselves the

537
00:22:14,708 --> 00:22:15,908
Speaker 5: Ferrari has parked.

538
00:22:15,988 --> 00:22:17,148
Speaker 3: Now in Los Angeles.

539
00:22:17,228 --> 00:22:19,028
Speaker 6: Yeah, two different personalities as well.

540
00:22:19,348 --> 00:22:21,148
Speaker 4: You got a Ferrari and you got a Tonkin truck.

541
00:22:23,308 --> 00:22:23,508
Speaker 4: You know.

542
00:22:23,628 --> 00:22:25,548
Speaker 6: I look forward to it because Justin Herbert can make

543
00:22:25,588 --> 00:22:28,228
Speaker 6: any throw on the field that Mike McDaniel offense. As

544
00:22:28,268 --> 00:22:31,148
Speaker 6: we all know, my favorite tree is at Shanahan offense, right,

545
00:22:31,188 --> 00:22:34,028
Speaker 6: Shanahan McVeigh O'Connell. I think that's the best tree in

546
00:22:34,028 --> 00:22:36,108
Speaker 6: football when it comes to offensive play calling. So I

547
00:22:36,148 --> 00:22:39,388
Speaker 6: look forward to Mike going out to the charges and

548
00:22:39,428 --> 00:22:40,708
Speaker 6: making some of those calls.

549
00:22:40,788 --> 00:22:40,988
Speaker 4: Yeah.

550
00:22:40,988 --> 00:22:43,548
Speaker 9: And I also think, like a guy like Mike McDaniel,

551
00:22:43,548 --> 00:22:46,068
Speaker 9: I think about Dave Ball, these head coaches that have

552
00:22:46,188 --> 00:22:49,708
Speaker 9: a great history working with quarterbacks and creating these Ferrari offenses,

553
00:22:49,868 --> 00:22:51,468
Speaker 9: what does it look like when they don't have to

554
00:22:51,508 --> 00:22:53,548
Speaker 9: actually run a football team. Yeah, like when you can

555
00:22:53,628 --> 00:22:56,228
Speaker 9: just be the cool offensive coordinator that people are like, Man,

556
00:22:56,268 --> 00:22:59,388
Speaker 9: he's quirky, he's whatever. But I love him and I

557
00:22:59,428 --> 00:23:01,788
Speaker 9: love his offense. Him with Herbert this could be a

558
00:23:01,828 --> 00:23:04,348
Speaker 9: dangerous combo. And I also think Herbert's at the point

559
00:23:04,428 --> 00:23:06,788
Speaker 9: in his career where he needs this, like this is

560
00:23:06,828 --> 00:23:09,188
Speaker 9: really important for him. Herbert's by no means in a

561
00:23:09,188 --> 00:23:10,188
Speaker 9: make or break situation.

562
00:23:10,308 --> 00:23:10,988
Speaker 4: We know who he is.

563
00:23:11,028 --> 00:23:13,668
Speaker 9: He's a beast, but this could be really like the

564
00:23:13,748 --> 00:23:16,588
Speaker 9: thing that puts him to that next level. We saw

565
00:23:16,588 --> 00:23:18,748
Speaker 9: it happen last year with a number of different quarterbacks,

566
00:23:18,748 --> 00:23:19,788
Speaker 9: so I think it'll be great.

567
00:23:19,868 --> 00:23:20,948
Speaker 4: Mike, Gee, what do you got.

568
00:23:20,748 --> 00:23:22,468
Speaker 8: On this on that?

569
00:23:22,668 --> 00:23:25,348
Speaker 12: I've got excitement to see what Mike McDaniel can do.

570
00:23:25,428 --> 00:23:27,988
Speaker 12: Yet with Justin Herbert and that offense out there, bringing

571
00:23:27,988 --> 00:23:30,588
Speaker 12: in some pieces including the fullback alec Ingold, who was

572
00:23:30,628 --> 00:23:33,388
Speaker 12: with Mike McDaniel ian Miami, bringing him in to be

573
00:23:33,388 --> 00:23:33,748
Speaker 12: a part of it.

574
00:23:33,788 --> 00:23:34,788
Speaker 8: I do you want to put a bow on it?

575
00:23:34,828 --> 00:23:36,508
Speaker 12: For to a tongue of BA loa, it's fifty four

576
00:23:36,548 --> 00:23:39,908
Speaker 12: million dollars fully guaranteed the thecoming season, minus the one

577
00:23:39,908 --> 00:23:43,148
Speaker 12: point three that the Falcons they're paying so for Steven

578
00:23:43,268 --> 00:23:45,868
Speaker 12: Ross and company down there in Miami. It's fifty two

579
00:23:45,868 --> 00:23:50,108
Speaker 12: point seven million dollars payable to USO LLC. Shut out

580
00:23:50,188 --> 00:23:51,548
Speaker 12: man Titeyo, who's not here.

581
00:23:51,388 --> 00:23:53,508
Speaker 2: Today, Big oos, Big oos. That's true.

582
00:23:53,508 --> 00:23:56,148
Speaker 5: We got through a tire to a conversation because it's true.

583
00:23:56,388 --> 00:23:58,428
Speaker 5: When I covered him at Alabama, I knew him as

584
00:23:58,428 --> 00:24:00,548
Speaker 5: a college kid. But then he comes into the NFL,

585
00:24:00,788 --> 00:24:02,628
Speaker 5: and now Mantis has sexs me every day. I'm like,

586
00:24:02,868 --> 00:24:05,268
Speaker 5: let me just understand this correctly from like a kid

587
00:24:05,308 --> 00:24:08,348
Speaker 5: who grew up in Hawaii, from a Polynesian culture like situation.

588
00:24:08,588 --> 00:24:10,708
Speaker 5: You know, just trying to understand to a better and

589
00:24:10,828 --> 00:24:12,948
Speaker 5: if nothing else, that quarterback is gonna be ready to

590
00:24:12,988 --> 00:24:15,308
Speaker 5: compete wherever it is, Miami or Atlanta.

591
00:24:16,228 --> 00:24:34,588
Speaker 2: Come good morning football.

592
00:24:35,788 --> 00:24:39,708
Speaker 7: Four at four Williams sprinting for.

593
00:24:39,788 --> 00:24:41,668
Speaker 4: Space in all kinds of trouble.

594
00:24:46,228 --> 00:24:52,548
Speaker 2: Touchdown confervable.

595
00:24:54,988 --> 00:24:56,628
Speaker 3: I mean we could watch it ten times over.

596
00:24:56,908 --> 00:25:02,148
Speaker 5: Seth just basking it, closing his eyes, looking away, smiling.

597
00:25:02,348 --> 00:25:03,508
Speaker 3: Oh it's so nice.

598
00:25:04,388 --> 00:25:07,508
Speaker 5: Okay, keep those fond memories as you hug yourself and

599
00:25:07,548 --> 00:25:10,588
Speaker 5: the iceman. Exactly all right, Caleb Williams. That becomes our

600
00:25:10,628 --> 00:25:13,548
Speaker 5: topic that we're starting with here on GMFB. He's done

601
00:25:13,548 --> 00:25:15,308
Speaker 5: with the second season, but that was his first with

602
00:25:15,348 --> 00:25:16,028
Speaker 5: Ben Johnson.

603
00:25:16,308 --> 00:25:18,708
Speaker 3: How do we move forward.

604
00:25:18,388 --> 00:25:21,948
Speaker 5: Together into year two of this experience in Chicago and

605
00:25:21,988 --> 00:25:24,388
Speaker 5: what do you expect from this pair and this organization?

606
00:25:24,428 --> 00:25:26,508
Speaker 4: Isaac. I really thought we were just gonna let Seth

607
00:25:26,508 --> 00:25:27,308
Speaker 4: take this whole segment.

608
00:25:27,348 --> 00:25:31,868
Speaker 9: We like to make him wait, oh he's still I

609
00:25:31,868 --> 00:25:35,108
Speaker 9: mean the celebrations. It's the whole thing. But okay, let's

610
00:25:35,108 --> 00:25:37,908
Speaker 9: talk about it, Seth. I'll leave you some time. I'm

611
00:25:37,988 --> 00:25:40,108
Speaker 9: super excited about this duo this year, and I think

612
00:25:40,148 --> 00:25:42,988
Speaker 9: everybody in the NFL was. I think is I think

613
00:25:42,988 --> 00:25:45,508
Speaker 9: the jump from first year to second year for Caleb

614
00:25:45,548 --> 00:25:46,468
Speaker 9: Williams just.

615
00:25:46,548 --> 00:25:48,308
Speaker 4: Made everybody lean in a little bit.

616
00:25:48,348 --> 00:25:50,988
Speaker 9: They leaned into Ben Johnson, they leaned into the effect

617
00:25:50,988 --> 00:25:53,588
Speaker 9: that he had, and I just really I want to

618
00:25:53,588 --> 00:25:56,788
Speaker 9: talk about Ben Johnson like Ben Johnson for me is football.

619
00:25:56,828 --> 00:25:58,588
Speaker 4: And I go all the way back to.

620
00:25:58,668 --> 00:26:00,628
Speaker 9: When he first got the job and he had his

621
00:26:00,708 --> 00:26:03,548
Speaker 9: opening conference and he's going down the people in the

622
00:26:03,628 --> 00:26:06,388
Speaker 9: vision and he goes, yeah, I actually love beating Matt

623
00:26:06,468 --> 00:26:07,508
Speaker 9: Lafleur twice a year.

624
00:26:07,588 --> 00:26:09,428
Speaker 5: Doesn't even know the guy, just wants to beat him

625
00:26:09,428 --> 00:26:09,628
Speaker 5: all the.

626
00:26:09,628 --> 00:26:11,588
Speaker 9: Time, doesn't even know him. I want to beat him.

627
00:26:11,628 --> 00:26:13,428
Speaker 9: I don't care, I'll play you anywhere.

628
00:26:13,508 --> 00:26:14,668
Speaker 4: I want to beat that guy.

629
00:26:14,708 --> 00:26:18,068
Speaker 9: And he just immediately set the standard of just intensity.

630
00:26:18,388 --> 00:26:20,708
Speaker 9: And then you know, he gives us these clips all

631
00:26:20,788 --> 00:26:23,068
Speaker 9: year like I don't even know what's going on here

632
00:26:23,068 --> 00:26:25,068
Speaker 9: in his mind, Like does he do that this at

633
00:26:25,068 --> 00:26:25,988
Speaker 9: home with his family?

634
00:26:26,028 --> 00:26:28,188
Speaker 4: Like is he just sat locked in all the time.

635
00:26:28,188 --> 00:26:30,148
Speaker 4: I don't know. I love the energy from him.

636
00:26:30,348 --> 00:26:32,708
Speaker 9: And then again like the fast handshake that he had

637
00:26:32,748 --> 00:26:35,868
Speaker 9: with Lafleur, like we were it was a whole segment

638
00:26:35,908 --> 00:26:38,748
Speaker 9: on here talking about it like he is football. And

639
00:26:38,748 --> 00:26:41,748
Speaker 9: that's why I'm excited, because he is what everything about

640
00:26:41,788 --> 00:26:45,228
Speaker 9: football is. He embodies football, the energy, the intensity. He's

641
00:26:45,268 --> 00:26:47,588
Speaker 9: a young, heir, enagy guy, and he just he's kind

642
00:26:47,588 --> 00:26:47,988
Speaker 9: of just.

643
00:26:47,908 --> 00:26:49,988
Speaker 4: Restored the Bears. Seth.

644
00:26:50,028 --> 00:26:51,548
Speaker 9: I want you to talk about this. I'm gonna give

645
00:26:51,548 --> 00:26:52,028
Speaker 9: your time.

646
00:26:52,388 --> 00:26:53,028
Speaker 4: Oh man.

647
00:26:53,228 --> 00:26:55,108
Speaker 14: I mean I feel like you guys are setting me

648
00:26:55,188 --> 00:26:57,228
Speaker 14: up here.

649
00:26:57,668 --> 00:26:58,948
Speaker 4: This is like a layup for me.

650
00:26:59,028 --> 00:27:01,748
Speaker 14: I mean, what's not to be excited about. If you're

651
00:27:01,748 --> 00:27:05,428
Speaker 14: a Chicago Bears fan, if you're a fan of professional football,

652
00:27:05,468 --> 00:27:08,668
Speaker 14: if you're a fan of the NFL, it's got everything right.

653
00:27:08,748 --> 00:27:12,348
Speaker 14: You already mentioned Ben Johnson, who's a maniac. I mean,

654
00:27:12,388 --> 00:27:17,148
Speaker 14: he's just a maniac. He's so obsessed with getting everything right.

655
00:27:17,708 --> 00:27:20,388
Speaker 14: I mean he would not celebrate until they won in

656
00:27:20,508 --> 00:27:23,748
Speaker 14: the locker room, and then his celebrations were off the charts, right,

657
00:27:23,788 --> 00:27:27,028
Speaker 14: they were next level. He's a head coach, he's a

658
00:27:27,068 --> 00:27:29,908
Speaker 14: players coach. He gets the best out of his players,

659
00:27:29,908 --> 00:27:32,948
Speaker 14: but he's also an entertainer and he understands that aspect

660
00:27:33,108 --> 00:27:35,868
Speaker 14: that it is entertainment. We want to be able to

661
00:27:35,908 --> 00:27:38,228
Speaker 14: watch that. We want to see these great rivalries, we

662
00:27:38,268 --> 00:27:39,348
Speaker 14: want these characters.

663
00:27:39,668 --> 00:27:40,628
Speaker 4: And then let's bring it.

664
00:27:40,588 --> 00:27:42,348
Speaker 14: Back to Caleb, because that's what we talked about. What

665
00:27:42,388 --> 00:27:46,108
Speaker 14: can we expect with his development over the next year.

666
00:27:46,188 --> 00:27:48,748
Speaker 14: I mean, coming out of his rookie season, which was

667
00:27:48,868 --> 00:27:52,548
Speaker 14: absolute chaos in Chicago. He had multiple head coaches, he

668
00:27:52,628 --> 00:27:56,588
Speaker 14: had multiple coordinators, he had no offensive line that it

669
00:27:56,748 --> 00:27:59,748
Speaker 14: was chaos there. Going into his second year, there were

670
00:27:59,948 --> 00:28:02,588
Speaker 14: tons of questions, is Ben Johnson.

671
00:28:02,228 --> 00:28:04,028
Speaker 4: The real deal? Is Caleb the real deal?

672
00:28:04,068 --> 00:28:08,308
Speaker 14: You saw flashes in his rookie season. In his sophomore season,

673
00:28:08,708 --> 00:28:12,708
Speaker 14: this kid was lights out, lights out in shure.

674
00:28:13,108 --> 00:28:13,388
Speaker 4: Mike G.

675
00:28:13,508 --> 00:28:15,908
Speaker 14: You're gonna tell me all the ways that Caleb needs

676
00:28:15,948 --> 00:28:18,788
Speaker 14: to improve, and you're absolutely right. You know, he needs

677
00:28:18,828 --> 00:28:21,348
Speaker 14: to make the easy throads. He's got to make smarter

678
00:28:21,468 --> 00:28:24,228
Speaker 14: decisions sometimes. But you look at this highlight reel and

679
00:28:24,268 --> 00:28:25,988
Speaker 14: you look what he put on tape, and you look

680
00:28:26,028 --> 00:28:30,028
Speaker 14: at what he did week to week. He became the Iceman.

681
00:28:30,148 --> 00:28:33,748
Speaker 14: Like he wasn't born the iceman. He built himself up

682
00:28:33,788 --> 00:28:35,108
Speaker 14: to become the iceman.

683
00:28:35,348 --> 00:28:35,948
Speaker 4: He was the.

684
00:28:35,868 --> 00:28:39,148
Speaker 14: Most clutch quarterback in the NFL this season, and it

685
00:28:39,308 --> 00:28:42,428
Speaker 14: wasn't even close. And so if you take all of

686
00:28:42,428 --> 00:28:44,948
Speaker 14: that and the fact that the kid stays healthy all

687
00:28:44,988 --> 00:28:48,588
Speaker 14: the time, like he is on the field always third year,

688
00:28:49,148 --> 00:28:51,828
Speaker 14: I'm not exaggerating when I tell you we're going to

689
00:28:51,868 --> 00:28:57,108
Speaker 14: be talking about Caleb Williams in the MVP conversation next season.

690
00:28:57,148 --> 00:29:01,148
Speaker 14: That's a guarantee, mark my words, Mike G We're gonna

691
00:29:01,188 --> 00:29:04,148
Speaker 14: be talking about the iceman. Caleb Williams is a possible

692
00:29:04,588 --> 00:29:06,188
Speaker 14: MVP next season.

693
00:29:07,388 --> 00:29:10,748
Speaker 12: Seth Rollins is a tremendous athlete, an unbelievable entertainer of

694
00:29:10,828 --> 00:29:13,388
Speaker 12: fantastic football, analyst, and apparently a mind reader because he

695
00:29:13,468 --> 00:29:14,028
Speaker 12: knew where I was.

696
00:29:14,028 --> 00:29:14,788
Speaker 4: Going with this one.

697
00:29:14,828 --> 00:29:17,468
Speaker 8: But I'm not going to be negative Nancy on this.

698
00:29:17,588 --> 00:29:20,308
Speaker 12: It's not like, well, you know, you guys are all

699
00:29:20,628 --> 00:29:23,868
Speaker 12: excited about him. But if you told me going into

700
00:29:23,868 --> 00:29:26,188
Speaker 12: the season, if I could look into the future kind

701
00:29:26,228 --> 00:29:29,308
Speaker 12: of like you just did here and could see before

702
00:29:29,348 --> 00:29:31,028
Speaker 12: the season what was going to happen with Kayleb Williams,

703
00:29:31,028 --> 00:29:34,108
Speaker 12: I'd say that is the upper echelon of what I

704
00:29:34,188 --> 00:29:36,708
Speaker 12: thought his season was going to be in year two,

705
00:29:37,668 --> 00:29:39,788
Speaker 12: and I'm down, Like, if I'm a Bears fan, I

706
00:29:39,788 --> 00:29:42,588
Speaker 12: sign up for it right then and there in early September.

707
00:29:43,148 --> 00:29:45,028
Speaker 12: So you start to think about how much better it

708
00:29:45,068 --> 00:29:47,188
Speaker 12: can be when you go back and you look at

709
00:29:47,188 --> 00:29:49,588
Speaker 12: some of the accuracy things and some of the misfires,

710
00:29:49,868 --> 00:29:51,468
Speaker 12: and I don't want to call them easy throws.

711
00:29:51,468 --> 00:29:53,468
Speaker 8: I mean, there's no easy throws in the NFL.

712
00:29:53,908 --> 00:29:56,508
Speaker 12: But if he can start to hone that in a

713
00:29:56,508 --> 00:30:00,268
Speaker 12: little bit more and start to put the ball where

714
00:30:00,308 --> 00:30:02,908
Speaker 12: it needs to be through the first three quarters of

715
00:30:02,948 --> 00:30:06,228
Speaker 12: the game, before the heroics in the fourth quarter, which

716
00:30:06,268 --> 00:30:07,788
Speaker 12: I don't want to see go away, I still want

717
00:30:07,788 --> 00:30:08,508
Speaker 12: that to be a part of it.

718
00:30:08,548 --> 00:30:09,948
Speaker 8: I don't want it to be like, well, I should

719
00:30:09,988 --> 00:30:11,788
Speaker 8: win the game before they have to have a miracle play.

720
00:30:11,908 --> 00:30:15,268
Speaker 12: No, make the miracle plays a part of what you're doing,

721
00:30:15,308 --> 00:30:17,908
Speaker 12: a part of your repertoire, a part of everybody thinking

722
00:30:17,948 --> 00:30:21,868
Speaker 12: about Caleb Williams and using the word clutch relevant in

723
00:30:22,988 --> 00:30:26,148
Speaker 12: But add to that some of the finer details that

724
00:30:26,188 --> 00:30:29,108
Speaker 12: you can hone this time of year into training camp,

725
00:30:29,308 --> 00:30:32,268
Speaker 12: the fundamentals, the footwork, where the ball needs to be.

726
00:30:32,588 --> 00:30:36,028
Speaker 12: If you now put that as part of the game,

727
00:30:36,108 --> 00:30:38,668
Speaker 12: in addition to what we've already seen. We're talking about

728
00:30:38,668 --> 00:30:43,348
Speaker 12: it outstanding, exceptional, another e word, elite quarterback in Caleb.

729
00:30:43,388 --> 00:30:43,588
Speaker 4: Wait.

730
00:30:43,908 --> 00:30:46,148
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's all very valid points and I'm still just

731
00:30:46,188 --> 00:30:48,828
Speaker 5: listening Seth bask in the sunlight of the fact that

732
00:30:49,188 --> 00:30:52,588
Speaker 5: is that yourly first pass at making the Caleb MVP argument,

733
00:30:52,948 --> 00:30:55,228
Speaker 5: because this is something you have to settle into into

734
00:30:55,268 --> 00:30:58,028
Speaker 5: your boots now for the offseason, and slowly but surely

735
00:30:58,028 --> 00:30:59,668
Speaker 5: you're laying the groundwork for this argument.

736
00:30:59,708 --> 00:31:01,188
Speaker 3: Come like prediction week next season.

737
00:31:01,348 --> 00:31:03,508
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, I think that was my first real That

738
00:31:03,548 --> 00:31:05,548
Speaker 14: was like my show I feel launch soft Launch.

739
00:31:05,708 --> 00:31:07,548
Speaker 4: Felt really good. It felt really good.

740
00:31:08,268 --> 00:31:09,548
Speaker 14: I wasn't sure if I was going to be able

741
00:31:09,628 --> 00:31:12,068
Speaker 14: to go on, but there was a lot there.

742
00:31:12,188 --> 00:31:13,788
Speaker 4: It was. There was a lot there.

743
00:31:13,868 --> 00:31:16,588
Speaker 5: The importance of winning an MVP, and frankly we saw

744
00:31:16,588 --> 00:31:18,588
Speaker 5: it last season with Matthew Stafford is you have to

745
00:31:18,588 --> 00:31:19,988
Speaker 5: be able to compete with some of the best of

746
00:31:20,028 --> 00:31:20,348
Speaker 5: the best.

747
00:31:20,388 --> 00:31:22,308
Speaker 3: And the fact that Stafford emerged.

748
00:31:22,348 --> 00:31:25,108
Speaker 5: Within the NFC West to become what he was as

749
00:31:25,108 --> 00:31:27,188
Speaker 5: an MVP, you can make the same argument for the

750
00:31:27,268 --> 00:31:30,348
Speaker 5: NFC North. A lot of talent, a lot of great competition,

751
00:31:30,868 --> 00:31:32,988
Speaker 5: and the Bears are no different from that. Now they're

752
00:31:32,988 --> 00:31:35,748
Speaker 5: going to have a much more difficult schedule this time around.

753
00:31:35,948 --> 00:31:38,108
Speaker 5: But keep in mind that every team in this division,

754
00:31:38,108 --> 00:31:40,188
Speaker 5: in the NFC North now that I'm speaking of, was

755
00:31:40,188 --> 00:31:43,068
Speaker 5: over five hundred last season. So having said that, do

756
00:31:43,148 --> 00:31:46,068
Speaker 5: you consider the Bears, Isaac your favorite in the North

757
00:31:46,108 --> 00:31:48,188
Speaker 5: in the twenty twenty sixth season or do you go elsewhere?

758
00:31:48,668 --> 00:31:51,908
Speaker 9: This is a tough question because I think everybody and

759
00:31:51,948 --> 00:31:54,028
Speaker 9: their mother and their brother and everybody wants to look

760
00:31:54,028 --> 00:31:55,788
Speaker 9: at the Bears and go, yeah, of course the Bears

761
00:31:55,828 --> 00:31:58,628
Speaker 9: are the pick. But I think back to when I played,

762
00:31:58,748 --> 00:32:00,028
Speaker 9: and I don't know if you guys know this, I

763
00:32:00,028 --> 00:32:02,868
Speaker 9: was actually on kickoff when I played random to eighty.

764
00:32:02,908 --> 00:32:05,708
Speaker 9: I don't know that's decision. I don't know why I

765
00:32:05,788 --> 00:32:07,748
Speaker 9: was on, but I was, And I used to go

766
00:32:07,788 --> 00:32:10,428
Speaker 9: in the huddles and I used to tell myself why

767
00:32:10,468 --> 00:32:12,508
Speaker 9: not me? Literally I would tell myself that, like, what

768
00:32:12,828 --> 00:32:14,428
Speaker 9: if it was me? What if I was the guy

769
00:32:14,468 --> 00:32:16,028
Speaker 9: making a tackle? What if I led the team in

770
00:32:16,068 --> 00:32:18,548
Speaker 9: special team tackles? And that's how I feel about the Vikings.

771
00:32:18,548 --> 00:32:21,828
Speaker 9: And I know you're about talking about the Vikings because

772
00:32:21,988 --> 00:32:25,268
Speaker 9: I'm really looking at Kyler Murray and I'm like, what

773
00:32:25,748 --> 00:32:28,188
Speaker 9: if it does work out the best version of Kyler

774
00:32:28,268 --> 00:32:31,908
Speaker 9: Murray on that football team with an elite receiver who

775
00:32:31,988 --> 00:32:32,948
Speaker 9: we all know and love.

776
00:32:33,828 --> 00:32:34,268
Speaker 4: What if?

777
00:32:34,388 --> 00:32:36,548
Speaker 9: Like, what if it does turn into something? I Also,

778
00:32:36,668 --> 00:32:39,068
Speaker 9: you have to consider that KOC has had a long

779
00:32:39,228 --> 00:32:42,468
Speaker 9: history of really developing quarterbacks. Look at the quarterbacks who

780
00:32:42,468 --> 00:32:44,788
Speaker 9: have come there, who haven't even started and then went

781
00:32:44,828 --> 00:32:49,828
Speaker 9: on an absolute tear afterwards on other teams or wherever there's.

782
00:32:49,668 --> 00:32:50,308
Speaker 4: A chance here.

783
00:32:50,348 --> 00:32:52,148
Speaker 9: So again, I'm looking at this and I'm just saying

784
00:32:52,148 --> 00:32:54,028
Speaker 9: what if. And the last thing I'll say is a

785
00:32:54,068 --> 00:32:56,508
Speaker 9: lot of people don't realize this. Like when I played

786
00:32:56,548 --> 00:32:58,468
Speaker 9: and I was in bad situations, I used to get

787
00:32:58,508 --> 00:33:00,468
Speaker 9: to the facility early and just sit in my car

788
00:33:00,548 --> 00:33:02,388
Speaker 9: and just be like, I need to get my mind

789
00:33:02,468 --> 00:33:04,108
Speaker 9: right to go in this facility because I don't want

790
00:33:04,108 --> 00:33:05,748
Speaker 9: to be this is a toxic.

791
00:33:05,508 --> 00:33:09,788
Speaker 4: Environment, get me anywhere. But here. Again, what if that

792
00:33:09,868 --> 00:33:11,588
Speaker 4: was the situation was Kyler last year?

793
00:33:11,628 --> 00:33:13,668
Speaker 9: What if it was just a really bad environment for him,

794
00:33:13,668 --> 00:33:15,788
Speaker 9: and just a quick environment switch is gonna make all

795
00:33:15,788 --> 00:33:16,948
Speaker 9: the difference and just make him.

796
00:33:16,828 --> 00:33:18,028
Speaker 4: A more confident quarterback.

797
00:33:18,068 --> 00:33:20,148
Speaker 9: We're gonna get twenty twenty one, Kyler, We're gonna get

798
00:33:20,148 --> 00:33:23,948
Speaker 9: twenty twenty two color. And again, what if Seth is

799
00:33:23,988 --> 00:33:25,788
Speaker 9: looking at me like I'm crazy? It's hard to even

800
00:33:25,828 --> 00:33:28,108
Speaker 9: talk the way you're looking at me right now?

801
00:33:28,148 --> 00:33:29,988
Speaker 5: All right, pipe down, Mike g You get to go

802
00:33:30,068 --> 00:33:32,388
Speaker 5: before Seth has the gatherers thoughts about the NFC North.

803
00:33:32,748 --> 00:33:35,428
Speaker 12: Not only do I get to go, I don't have

804
00:33:35,468 --> 00:33:36,948
Speaker 12: to have Seth looking at me because I'm not.

805
00:33:36,988 --> 00:33:38,548
Speaker 4: There, right, So give me a dagger.

806
00:33:41,548 --> 00:33:43,468
Speaker 11: You got to take this shot away though, because I

807
00:33:43,468 --> 00:33:45,628
Speaker 11: can still feel his eyes right now as I say

808
00:33:45,708 --> 00:33:49,508
Speaker 11: that Detroit Lion could potentially go from worse to first

809
00:33:49,588 --> 00:33:51,788
Speaker 11: in the NFC, and like worse the first they were

810
00:33:51,868 --> 00:33:53,828
Speaker 11: nine to eight, right, you bring up the records again

811
00:33:53,868 --> 00:33:56,188
Speaker 11: and you're like, any one of those teams last year.

812
00:33:56,068 --> 00:33:58,988
Speaker 12: Could have potentially won the division there. I mean, look

813
00:33:59,028 --> 00:34:01,508
Speaker 12: how close it wound up being. The Lions just felt

814
00:34:01,548 --> 00:34:04,388
Speaker 12: like everything snowball, right. They lost both of their coordinate,

815
00:34:04,628 --> 00:34:07,708
Speaker 12: they had the Frank Ragnow situation, they had injuries even

816
00:34:07,748 --> 00:34:11,068
Speaker 12: before they got the training camp. It just felt like

817
00:34:11,148 --> 00:34:14,428
Speaker 12: too much for the Lions to overcome. Don't forget what

818
00:34:14,508 --> 00:34:16,348
Speaker 12: kind of team this is I mean, I honestly, I

819
00:34:16,388 --> 00:34:18,308
Speaker 12: look back in and go nine to eight was incredibly

820
00:34:18,348 --> 00:34:21,068
Speaker 12: impressive given everything they had to go through last year.

821
00:34:21,388 --> 00:34:23,348
Speaker 8: And I look at their schedule this year.

822
00:34:24,108 --> 00:34:26,948
Speaker 12: I know it's always a tricky exercise when you go.

823
00:34:26,908 --> 00:34:30,388
Speaker 8: By expected wins right now and who the Lions are facing.

824
00:34:30,668 --> 00:34:32,868
Speaker 12: It's the easiest schedule in the division.

825
00:34:33,308 --> 00:34:33,988
Speaker 8: It's the easiest.

826
00:34:34,108 --> 00:34:36,188
Speaker 12: It's the least difficult, howe way you put it that

827
00:34:36,228 --> 00:34:38,708
Speaker 12: way because of the NFL. And it's also the least

828
00:34:38,788 --> 00:34:42,828
Speaker 12: difficult in the entire NFL right now. So I'm looking

829
00:34:42,868 --> 00:34:46,028
Speaker 12: for a huge, huge bounce back year from the Lions.

830
00:34:46,228 --> 00:34:46,908
Speaker 4: I think they're going to.

831
00:34:46,948 --> 00:34:48,388
Speaker 8: Be much better on offense.

832
00:34:48,868 --> 00:34:50,948
Speaker 12: Dan Campbell won't have to take over play calling from

833
00:34:50,988 --> 00:34:52,708
Speaker 12: Drew Petsing in the middle of the season the way

834
00:34:52,708 --> 00:34:54,388
Speaker 12: that he had to take over this past.

835
00:34:54,228 --> 00:34:55,148
Speaker 8: Year from John Morton.

836
00:34:55,308 --> 00:34:58,668
Speaker 12: I'm looking for a response from the Lions to how

837
00:34:58,708 --> 00:34:59,988
Speaker 12: disappointing last season was.

838
00:35:00,188 --> 00:35:02,788
Speaker 14: You know, Mike gie that that's a respectable answer. Oh no,

839
00:35:02,948 --> 00:35:07,628
Speaker 14: that was real a respectable answer. And I I I

840
00:35:08,668 --> 00:35:11,348
Speaker 14: you know, as a Bears fan, I'm slightly biased on

841
00:35:11,388 --> 00:35:13,908
Speaker 14: this bad boy, but look at the division. I look

842
00:35:13,948 --> 00:35:16,668
Speaker 14: at the Packers, Uh, and I look at the Lions

843
00:35:16,668 --> 00:35:19,548
Speaker 14: and I go, okay, these are these are competitive.

844
00:35:19,028 --> 00:35:19,988
Speaker 4: Teams here, all right?

845
00:35:20,348 --> 00:35:24,788
Speaker 14: And then Isaac has the nerve, the nerve to come

846
00:35:24,828 --> 00:35:28,308
Speaker 14: out here and basically because the question was who is

847
00:35:28,348 --> 00:35:32,108
Speaker 14: the favorite to win this division? If this man he says,

848
00:35:32,148 --> 00:35:34,668
Speaker 14: what is what if? He says why not Kyler?

849
00:35:34,908 --> 00:35:36,228
Speaker 2: Why not Kyler?

850
00:35:36,628 --> 00:35:39,828
Speaker 14: Are we really expecting Kyler Murray to go full Sam

851
00:35:39,908 --> 00:35:42,508
Speaker 14: Darnold heel? And this is the situation we're in that

852
00:35:42,628 --> 00:35:47,028
Speaker 14: the Minnesota Vikings, who I mean, they sure they didn't

853
00:35:47,028 --> 00:35:50,308
Speaker 14: finish the last in the division, but my between Kyler

854
00:35:50,388 --> 00:35:53,668
Speaker 14: Murray and JJ McCarthy and they're going to win the

855
00:35:53,708 --> 00:35:59,548
Speaker 14: division over the Lions, the Bears and the Packers, that's bonkers, bonkers,

856
00:35:59,588 --> 00:36:02,268
Speaker 14: that's bonkers. I need I don't need to make a

857
00:36:02,348 --> 00:36:04,268
Speaker 14: bet right now, but.

858
00:36:04,468 --> 00:36:07,788
Speaker 9: Something, okay, real quick, fine, would you what would you

859
00:36:07,828 --> 00:36:09,908
Speaker 9: have thought Sam Donald was going to do with the Viking?

860
00:36:09,988 --> 00:36:12,068
Speaker 9: I mean, is it's not the first time we've seen

861
00:36:12,108 --> 00:36:14,748
Speaker 9: a quarterback come in under Kevin O'Connell and we're like, yeah,

862
00:36:14,748 --> 00:36:15,548
Speaker 9: they're not going to be good.

863
00:36:15,708 --> 00:36:17,308
Speaker 4: I so JJ McCarthy.

864
00:36:16,868 --> 00:36:19,348
Speaker 9: Didn't even play the whole season, Like there's there's factors

865
00:36:19,348 --> 00:36:22,988
Speaker 9: that affect that situation and what it looked like last year.

866
00:36:23,028 --> 00:36:26,668
Speaker 14: Maybe JJ McCarthy should have played the whole season and

867
00:36:26,708 --> 00:36:28,828
Speaker 14: we would have seen what kind of team they were, right,

868
00:36:28,828 --> 00:36:32,428
Speaker 14: because that's that we have. Max brozmerg got a w

869
00:36:32,548 --> 00:36:35,108
Speaker 14: We were there on Christmas Day again the Lions.

870
00:36:35,188 --> 00:36:38,428
Speaker 4: We saw that happen. I may be in the minority.

871
00:36:38,668 --> 00:36:42,668
Speaker 14: I always thought Sam Donald had the skill set to

872
00:36:42,788 --> 00:36:46,188
Speaker 14: be the quarterback that we saw in Seattle and in Minnesota.

873
00:36:46,308 --> 00:36:49,108
Speaker 14: I always thought it was there Kyler Murray. I'm just

874
00:36:49,228 --> 00:36:52,228
Speaker 14: not quite sold on that. I'm not quite And here's

875
00:36:52,228 --> 00:36:55,188
Speaker 14: the thing about the Sam Donald situation. He came in knowing,

876
00:36:55,668 --> 00:36:58,108
Speaker 14: not knowing, but having a good feeling he was going

877
00:36:58,148 --> 00:37:00,708
Speaker 14: to be the starting quarterback for that season at the

878
00:37:00,828 --> 00:37:04,548
Speaker 14: very least this season in Minnesota, you're talking about a

879
00:37:04,668 --> 00:37:09,028
Speaker 14: quarterback competition between Kyler and JJ McCarthy. It's not the

880
00:37:09,068 --> 00:37:11,708
Speaker 14: same setup. So I mean, maybe Kyler knows something that

881
00:37:11,748 --> 00:37:14,508
Speaker 14: we don't and he's coming into a situation where he's like, yeah, I'm.

882
00:37:14,388 --> 00:37:15,988
Speaker 4: The starter, this JJ guy, we don't.

883
00:37:15,788 --> 00:37:18,148
Speaker 14: Even worry about him, and JJ's just out of there.

884
00:37:18,428 --> 00:37:20,588
Speaker 14: But I don't see that happening the other ones I

885
00:37:20,588 --> 00:37:23,068
Speaker 14: can buy I can buy it a healthy Michael Parsons.

886
00:37:23,108 --> 00:37:25,428
Speaker 14: Green Bay's a good squad. They're well coached. Not that

887
00:37:25,468 --> 00:37:27,108
Speaker 14: in the Minnesot' is not. I love Kocy. I think

888
00:37:27,108 --> 00:37:29,428
Speaker 14: he's an incredible coach. And they got Flores too. On

889
00:37:29,468 --> 00:37:34,068
Speaker 14: the other side, this is a well coached division Lions. Again.

890
00:37:34,308 --> 00:37:36,108
Speaker 14: They have all the talent in the world to get

891
00:37:36,148 --> 00:37:36,948
Speaker 14: the job done.

892
00:37:37,308 --> 00:37:38,388
Speaker 4: But it's the Bears.

893
00:37:38,428 --> 00:37:40,468
Speaker 8: Guy, come on, it's the Bears.

894
00:37:40,508 --> 00:37:41,508
Speaker 4: The Bears.

895
00:37:41,948 --> 00:37:44,228
Speaker 14: Why well, I'm looking over here at this wall over here,

896
00:37:44,228 --> 00:37:46,588
Speaker 14: and I see these signal callers. Okay, I see these

897
00:37:46,588 --> 00:37:49,228
Speaker 14: signal callers. I see Kayleb Williams. I see Jordan Love,

898
00:37:49,348 --> 00:37:50,348
Speaker 14: I see JJ McCarthy.

899
00:37:50,348 --> 00:37:51,908
Speaker 4: You can throw Kyler Murray up there if you wanted.

900
00:37:51,988 --> 00:37:52,828
Speaker 4: I see Jared Goff.

901
00:37:53,068 --> 00:37:55,548
Speaker 14: And one of these dudes, one of these four dudes

902
00:37:55,588 --> 00:37:59,108
Speaker 14: has the clutch gene and his name is Kayleb Williams,

903
00:37:59,148 --> 00:38:03,548
Speaker 14: and the other guys don't have that gene. That's the

904
00:38:03,588 --> 00:38:04,388
Speaker 14: body they don't.

905
00:38:04,428 --> 00:38:05,228
Speaker 13: Oh, I don't know.

906
00:38:05,348 --> 00:38:07,708
Speaker 14: If the Bears don't win the division this year, because

907
00:38:07,708 --> 00:38:10,148
Speaker 14: it's a very hard division, they're going to make the playoffs,

908
00:38:10,148 --> 00:38:13,388
Speaker 14: and I expect him to win playoff games because eighteen

909
00:38:13,548 --> 00:38:15,588
Speaker 14: is under center and he is going to make the

910
00:38:15,628 --> 00:38:18,428
Speaker 14: play when the job is needed to be done.

911
00:38:18,788 --> 00:38:20,708
Speaker 4: It's not gonna be Kyler Murray. I'll tell you that

912
00:38:20,788 --> 00:38:21,148
Speaker 4: right now.

913
00:38:21,148 --> 00:38:22,508
Speaker 14: It's not going to be Kyler Murray.

914
00:38:22,788 --> 00:38:23,788
Speaker 4: No bets, no bets.

915
00:38:23,828 --> 00:38:26,348
Speaker 14: But that's you know, I'm full of predictions today, James.

916
00:38:26,508 --> 00:38:27,788
Speaker 3: I hear that. I hear that.

917
00:38:27,828 --> 00:38:29,828
Speaker 5: But it is a valid point that you make about

918
00:38:29,908 --> 00:38:33,348
Speaker 5: if you go coaching quarterback combination, the Vikings are the

919
00:38:33,388 --> 00:38:35,588
Speaker 5: only one that have a true question mark in all

920
00:38:35,668 --> 00:38:39,508
Speaker 5: those pariods. So great competition across the division. And now

921
00:38:39,548 --> 00:38:42,428
Speaker 5: we fully understand if you didn't sixteen minutes ago, where

922
00:38:42,428 --> 00:38:45,468
Speaker 5: Seth Rolin stands on the Chicago Bears and Martha Frankny

923
00:38:45,788 --> 00:38:54,748
Speaker 5: Kyler Murray
