My name is Jamie art All. 14 00:00:58,788 --> 00:01:01,548 Speaker 1: That's Kyle Brant, Peter Schrager, and a Super Bowl champion 15 00:01:01,548 --> 00:01:03,508 Speaker 1: to my left, Jason mccordy. As we take you out 16 00:01:03,548 --> 00:01:06,348 Speaker 1: to the Bay Area and talk about some news that 17 00:01:06,428 --> 00:01:08,588 Speaker 1: Trey Lance released himself, but that was just that he 18 00:01:08,628 --> 00:01:11,908 Speaker 1: had successful ankle surgery. Fortunately it ended his season. That 19 00:01:11,988 --> 00:01:14,508 Speaker 1: injury was suffered this weekend, he wrote on social media, 20 00:01:14,548 --> 00:01:16,868 Speaker 1: I will be back better than ever. This chapter is 21 00:01:16,908 --> 00:01:19,948 Speaker 1: going to make the story even greater. We're with you, man, 22 00:01:20,108 --> 00:01:22,468 Speaker 1: best of luck. You are going to bounce back from this. 23 00:01:22,508 --> 00:01:24,348 Speaker 1: Tray seems to be in good spirits are just great. 24 00:01:24,628 --> 00:01:26,268 Speaker 1: But there were many who watched the nine or ten 25 00:01:26,348 --> 00:01:29,108 Speaker 1: quarterback get injured in just week two of his first 26 00:01:29,148 --> 00:01:32,268 Speaker 1: season as a starter and wondered why why was Trey 27 00:01:32,308 --> 00:01:34,788 Speaker 1: put in that position in the first place. Kyle Shanahan 28 00:01:35,188 --> 00:01:37,548 Speaker 1: was asked those questions, and he had an answer on 29 00:01:37,588 --> 00:01:42,148 Speaker 1: Sunday Evening, Alice the riskers the award just because I mean, 30 00:01:42,188 --> 00:01:44,748 Speaker 1: you guys watch other teams in this league, and Buffalo 31 00:01:44,788 --> 00:01:47,388 Speaker 1: does it all the time with their Quarterback's pretty normal play. 32 00:01:47,468 --> 00:01:49,708 Speaker 1: It's part of football. And some fortune that he heard 33 00:01:49,708 --> 00:01:53,508 Speaker 1: his ankle on it, but it was very normal. Lay, 34 00:01:53,348 --> 00:01:58,788 Speaker 1: I should watch some other people, all right. Coach shan 35 00:01:59,548 --> 00:02:02,588 Speaker 1: well feisty with that answer and being questioned as to 36 00:02:02,628 --> 00:02:05,268 Speaker 1: putting his quarterback in that situation. But as you can see, 37 00:02:05,628 --> 00:02:07,268 Speaker 1: it's not the first time he's had a quarterback go 38 00:02:07,348 --> 00:02:09,868 Speaker 1: down with an injury in his tenure with the forty 39 00:02:09,948 --> 00:02:13,348 Speaker 1: nine ers. Jimmy Garoppolo obviously, even still recovering from surgery 40 00:02:13,348 --> 00:02:16,388 Speaker 1: this offseason. But his first two injuries their acl ankle, 41 00:02:16,628 --> 00:02:19,508 Speaker 1: and then Nick Mullins and Trey Lance the critics. So 42 00:02:19,628 --> 00:02:24,188 Speaker 1: the critics of Kyle Shanahan putting their quarterback in this position, 43 00:02:24,228 --> 00:02:27,068 Speaker 1: do they have a point here? Does Trey Lance have 44 00:02:27,108 --> 00:02:28,948 Speaker 1: a better shot at staying in if he's not put 45 00:02:28,948 --> 00:02:31,068 Speaker 1: in those situations? Well, first of all, I want to 46 00:02:31,068 --> 00:02:33,868 Speaker 1: give some credit to the local forty nine Ers media 47 00:02:34,028 --> 00:02:37,468 Speaker 1: who actually presses the coach and puts him on that hotspeed, 48 00:02:37,508 --> 00:02:39,588 Speaker 1: because it's compelling. The only two years they didn't lose 49 00:02:39,628 --> 00:02:42,428 Speaker 1: their starting quarterback, those are the Super Bowl away So 50 00:02:43,188 --> 00:02:45,428 Speaker 1: that's pretty compelling to me, and a lot of those 51 00:02:45,468 --> 00:02:46,788 Speaker 1: could have been avoided. A lot of those are not 52 00:02:46,908 --> 00:02:49,148 Speaker 1: have anything to do with Kyle Shanahan. But you go 53 00:02:49,148 --> 00:02:51,468 Speaker 1: back to Robert Griffin when he was in Washington and 54 00:02:51,508 --> 00:02:52,908 Speaker 1: the way that he was used, and that was Mike 55 00:02:52,948 --> 00:02:55,388 Speaker 1: and Kyle Shanahan is there, and there is an argument 56 00:02:55,428 --> 00:02:57,228 Speaker 1: to be made that the forty nine ers lose their 57 00:02:57,268 --> 00:03:00,468 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and running backs every single year and what is 58 00:03:00,468 --> 00:03:03,148 Speaker 1: it with Kyle Shanahan's offense that causes this problem? I 59 00:03:03,188 --> 00:03:05,748 Speaker 1: would say though, to those critics, and I would say 60 00:03:05,748 --> 00:03:08,188 Speaker 1: to that point, running quarterbacks get hurt. You know, we 61 00:03:08,308 --> 00:03:11,988 Speaker 1: do praise what Brian Dable and Ken Dorsey do with 62 00:03:12,108 --> 00:03:15,148 Speaker 1: Josh Allen to no end. We do praise what Nick 63 00:03:15,228 --> 00:03:18,188 Speaker 1: Sirianni has drafted up for Jale Hurt. Jale Hurts had 64 00:03:18,188 --> 00:03:20,588 Speaker 1: a wild run on Monday Night Football where he's outside 65 00:03:20,588 --> 00:03:23,468 Speaker 1: the pocket, breaking tackles, dragging three guys and dives in 66 00:03:23,468 --> 00:03:25,068 Speaker 1: the end zone. And the next morning we celebrate and 67 00:03:25,068 --> 00:03:28,228 Speaker 1: say that's incredible, what a job by Sirianni drawing that up. 68 00:03:28,308 --> 00:03:30,748 Speaker 1: You're gonna get hurt at some point. That is the game, 69 00:03:30,988 --> 00:03:34,668 Speaker 1: and whether it's cointitence or not, you're putting the running 70 00:03:34,748 --> 00:03:37,348 Speaker 1: quarterback into that harm and that's what's going to happen. 71 00:03:38,308 --> 00:03:40,468 Speaker 1: Kyle's testy on it. He doesn't like this. He doesn't 72 00:03:40,468 --> 00:03:42,548 Speaker 1: like being questioned. He's like, I know more football than 73 00:03:42,588 --> 00:03:46,108 Speaker 1: you inside and out. But whether it's the way they practice, 74 00:03:46,228 --> 00:03:48,908 Speaker 1: the way that they condition the field condition, the Niners 75 00:03:48,948 --> 00:03:51,268 Speaker 1: historically are the most injured team in the league year 76 00:03:51,268 --> 00:03:53,468 Speaker 1: and year out. And I don't know if it's the 77 00:03:53,468 --> 00:03:55,388 Speaker 1: style of play or what it is, but I think 78 00:03:55,428 --> 00:03:57,988 Speaker 1: it's fair to question it. It is fair to question 79 00:03:58,028 --> 00:04:00,828 Speaker 1: it could they have handled him better. No, he's a 80 00:04:00,908 --> 00:04:03,388 Speaker 1: running quarterback. And what they were doing in that first 81 00:04:03,428 --> 00:04:06,148 Speaker 1: quarter or that week to game Tree Lance was tearing 82 00:04:06,188 --> 00:04:08,268 Speaker 1: it up and he was running all over the field 83 00:04:08,308 --> 00:04:10,748 Speaker 1: and there was like a little window of what this 84 00:04:10,828 --> 00:04:13,748 Speaker 1: could be and it was exciting. I don't want to 85 00:04:13,748 --> 00:04:15,628 Speaker 1: show him this play because that's when he gets hurt 86 00:04:15,628 --> 00:04:17,348 Speaker 1: on but all the plays that led up to it, 87 00:04:17,668 --> 00:04:21,188 Speaker 1: Trey was carving up the Seahawks defense. It's the risky run. 88 00:04:21,588 --> 00:04:23,788 Speaker 1: And they drafted that guy. They didn't draft Mac Jones, 89 00:04:23,828 --> 00:04:26,788 Speaker 1: who's a quarterback. They don't have Tom Brady, or they 90 00:04:26,788 --> 00:04:29,068 Speaker 1: don't have a Matt Staff rd back there. They drafted 91 00:04:29,068 --> 00:04:31,228 Speaker 1: that guy. And now they've got Jimmy Garoppolo, who's not 92 00:04:31,228 --> 00:04:33,228 Speaker 1: a running quarterback, and the offense will go back to 93 00:04:33,428 --> 00:04:36,348 Speaker 1: what it was. Yeah, listen, there's a big football shame. 94 00:04:36,388 --> 00:04:38,668 Speaker 1: Everyone's all upset about it. It sucks that that happened. 95 00:04:38,668 --> 00:04:40,468 Speaker 1: And when that happens, you look for someone to blame, 96 00:04:40,508 --> 00:04:41,988 Speaker 1: and you want to get mad at someone. You want 97 00:04:41,988 --> 00:04:43,748 Speaker 1: to get mad at someone who hit him in practice, 98 00:04:43,868 --> 00:04:46,268 Speaker 1: or who missed his block or something. I just don't 99 00:04:46,268 --> 00:04:48,108 Speaker 1: I can't get there. I don't see it there if 100 00:04:48,148 --> 00:04:50,388 Speaker 1: this is twenty twenty two, if you have a running quarterback, 101 00:04:50,468 --> 00:04:52,468 Speaker 1: you run them. And it doesn't have to be Josh Allen. 102 00:04:52,508 --> 00:04:54,668 Speaker 1: It could be Trevor Lawrence. It could be jail and Hurts, 103 00:04:54,668 --> 00:04:56,788 Speaker 1: it could be I mean, after this now Cliff Kings 104 00:04:56,788 --> 00:04:58,708 Speaker 1: were should go Kyler, don't run anymore. It just enough 105 00:04:58,748 --> 00:05:00,188 Speaker 1: of that. Let's just stay in the pocket. It's just 106 00:05:00,228 --> 00:05:03,108 Speaker 1: too dangerous. After happened at Trey Lance shot up, it's ridiculous. 107 00:05:03,308 --> 00:05:06,028 Speaker 1: The RG three thing is I remember that towards ACL 108 00:05:06,108 --> 00:05:09,268 Speaker 1: picking up a bad snap on terrible turf. I mean, 109 00:05:09,308 --> 00:05:11,388 Speaker 1: that was not something where he's making plays in the 110 00:05:11,428 --> 00:05:13,108 Speaker 1: secondary and someone rolled up there. You have been in 111 00:05:13,148 --> 00:05:15,548 Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, yeah, of course you should have been 112 00:05:15,548 --> 00:05:17,588 Speaker 1: in the game. And listen, where's Dak Prescott right now, 113 00:05:17,628 --> 00:05:19,788 Speaker 1: he's in the pocket throwing a pass, breaking his hand 114 00:05:19,788 --> 00:05:23,508 Speaker 1: doing him the injury gods are cruel and they demand sacrifice. 115 00:05:23,548 --> 00:05:25,988 Speaker 1: There's no way to escape it. Maybe you increase the 116 00:05:26,108 --> 00:05:28,108 Speaker 1: chances by having Trey Lance. But also, Peter, you're saying 117 00:05:28,148 --> 00:05:31,148 Speaker 1: they're the most injured team, they're also a very successful team. 118 00:05:31,188 --> 00:05:33,348 Speaker 1: It works. They're in the playoffs, they're in the Super Bowl, 119 00:05:33,428 --> 00:05:35,548 Speaker 1: So maybe that's the price they pay. And if they 120 00:05:35,588 --> 00:05:38,348 Speaker 1: weren't making the playoffs and everyone's getting hurt, the Shanahan's 121 00:05:38,348 --> 00:05:40,748 Speaker 1: gonna be out of there. But they are. And maybe 122 00:05:40,748 --> 00:05:43,028 Speaker 1: it is physical, but that's that's the ball to play 123 00:05:43,148 --> 00:05:45,308 Speaker 1: that they play. And I don't say let's just pull 124 00:05:45,388 --> 00:05:47,228 Speaker 1: back the thing now, just have Tray stay in the pocket. 125 00:05:47,268 --> 00:05:49,708 Speaker 1: Then why did we draft Trey We would never have 126 00:05:49,748 --> 00:05:52,308 Speaker 1: done that. I understand everyone's frustrated. I'm frustrated too, but 127 00:05:52,388 --> 00:05:54,948 Speaker 1: I can't see the Shanahan's fault. I don't. Maybe Jason, 128 00:05:54,988 --> 00:05:57,068 Speaker 1: you disagree. One of the main things he said was 129 00:05:57,268 --> 00:05:59,308 Speaker 1: injuries are a part of the game. You play football 130 00:05:59,388 --> 00:06:03,068 Speaker 1: long enough, there's a one chance that you're going to 131 00:06:03,108 --> 00:06:05,308 Speaker 1: get injured. And to me, the crazy thing is, we 132 00:06:05,348 --> 00:06:07,628 Speaker 1: look at some of the quarterbacks that have been injured 133 00:06:07,908 --> 00:06:11,668 Speaker 1: under Shanahan. We talk about Jimmy Garoppolo. Acl was on 134 00:06:11,708 --> 00:06:14,668 Speaker 1: a drop back pass where he scrambled and planted the 135 00:06:14,708 --> 00:06:16,908 Speaker 1: wrong way and got hurt the ankle. He's in the 136 00:06:16,988 --> 00:06:20,588 Speaker 1: pocket and a Jets defensive lineman rolls up on his ankle. 137 00:06:20,868 --> 00:06:22,708 Speaker 1: Nick Mullins is throwing the ball and gets hit in 138 00:06:22,708 --> 00:06:26,068 Speaker 1: the arm. These aren't designed quarterback running plays, so they're 139 00:06:26,108 --> 00:06:29,388 Speaker 1: irrelevant to the conversation. Yes, Trey Lance got hurt, but 140 00:06:29,468 --> 00:06:32,268 Speaker 1: like you just said, Trey Lanz's running ability is what 141 00:06:32,388 --> 00:06:34,468 Speaker 1: takes him to the next level. It is the reason 142 00:06:34,508 --> 00:06:36,708 Speaker 1: they want him in the game in the first place. 143 00:06:36,748 --> 00:06:39,508 Speaker 1: So to me, you look around the league this season 144 00:06:39,628 --> 00:06:41,748 Speaker 1: and kind of the way the league is moving, there 145 00:06:41,788 --> 00:06:46,628 Speaker 1: aren't many just strictly pocket passers. You said, Trevor Lawrence, 146 00:06:46,828 --> 00:06:49,788 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert can run. Justin Fields is in there to run, Kyler, 147 00:06:49,868 --> 00:06:53,628 Speaker 1: Murray Burrow can run. All of these guys have designed 148 00:06:53,668 --> 00:06:57,308 Speaker 1: run plays at some point in these games. So to me, like, yeah, 149 00:06:57,348 --> 00:06:59,228 Speaker 1: you can find someone to blame. Maybe you can talk 150 00:06:59,228 --> 00:07:01,828 Speaker 1: about their practice routine. People will try to blame the 151 00:07:01,868 --> 00:07:05,108 Speaker 1: strength and conditioning coach, the training run. The truth of 152 00:07:05,148 --> 00:07:07,748 Speaker 1: the matter is you play football long enough. There are 153 00:07:07,788 --> 00:07:09,668 Speaker 1: a lot of people that have had that picture that 154 00:07:09,748 --> 00:07:12,428 Speaker 1: Trey Lance had, that same solf cast he has on 155 00:07:12,468 --> 00:07:14,628 Speaker 1: his foot. A few months ago. I had the same 156 00:07:14,708 --> 00:07:17,468 Speaker 1: cast on my foot waking up in a bed from surgery. 157 00:07:17,468 --> 00:07:19,108 Speaker 1: So you were in a running quarterback and I wasn't 158 00:07:19,148 --> 00:07:21,508 Speaker 1: a running quarterback. It is a part of the game. 159 00:07:21,588 --> 00:07:24,988 Speaker 1: It sucks, It absolutely sucks, but injuries come with it. Yeah, 160 00:07:24,988 --> 00:07:27,308 Speaker 1: this question and a rundown made me feel about salty. 161 00:07:27,308 --> 00:07:29,748 Speaker 1: As Kyle Shanahan did answer that question. I literally in 162 00:07:29,788 --> 00:07:31,588 Speaker 1: the document last night, I just wrote nope, and then 163 00:07:31,628 --> 00:07:34,668 Speaker 1: I just moved on. I just I hate this so frustrating. 164 00:07:34,708 --> 00:07:36,588 Speaker 1: It's like, what do you want your team to play? 165 00:07:36,668 --> 00:07:38,468 Speaker 1: What's the style is supposed to be? This is what 166 00:07:38,508 --> 00:07:41,788 Speaker 1: you went up and got the guy for injuries. I'm 167 00:07:41,788 --> 00:07:44,268 Speaker 1: really just reiterating in a more frustrated fashion whatever else 168 00:07:44,268 --> 00:07:47,428 Speaker 1: has just said. Injuries happened. This the playing in and 169 00:07:47,428 --> 00:07:48,868 Speaker 1: of itself where he got injured, and I don't want 170 00:07:48,868 --> 00:07:50,308 Speaker 1: to see it again. But it's a two yard run 171 00:07:50,308 --> 00:07:52,388 Speaker 1: that easily could have happened if the pocket had collapsed 172 00:07:52,388 --> 00:07:54,388 Speaker 1: on him. Like the strength and conditioning guy, they do 173 00:07:54,468 --> 00:07:57,228 Speaker 1: not They do not make your bones stronger. Okay, this 174 00:07:57,388 --> 00:08:00,428 Speaker 1: it was an ankle fracture. This could happen to anybody 175 00:08:00,668 --> 00:08:03,668 Speaker 1: on any play. The question would have been legitimate. I 176 00:08:03,708 --> 00:08:05,988 Speaker 1: think if it had been a fourth quarter blowout and like, 177 00:08:06,108 --> 00:08:07,948 Speaker 1: why is he in there? Why are you having that run? 178 00:08:08,108 --> 00:08:10,828 Speaker 1: This was early in the game. They're trying to establish 179 00:08:10,828 --> 00:08:13,028 Speaker 1: an offense. In week two, let's say they hadn't run 180 00:08:13,108 --> 00:08:15,148 Speaker 1: him and he hadn't gotten hurt. The question would have been, 181 00:08:15,148 --> 00:08:18,188 Speaker 1: why aren't you running Tree Lance? So like what you can't? 182 00:08:18,268 --> 00:08:20,988 Speaker 1: It's his legs ready as his legs like, we're not 183 00:08:21,228 --> 00:08:23,108 Speaker 1: run off generating an offense. Don't you want to run 184 00:08:23,188 --> 00:08:25,348 Speaker 1: him more? It's like they've running snaps his ankle. It's 185 00:08:25,388 --> 00:08:28,508 Speaker 1: just tear so frustrator. Nope, don't take my guys, who 186 00:08:28,508 --> 00:08:30,588 Speaker 1: are the least runners of all? I mean, look, Peyton 187 00:08:30,588 --> 00:08:33,068 Speaker 1: Manning leaves Indianapolis with the neck kis you? Aaron Rodgers 188 00:08:33,068 --> 00:08:34,908 Speaker 1: had a whole bunch of injuries. He's not in the 189 00:08:34,908 --> 00:08:38,348 Speaker 1: design runs. I know what the questions getting at, because 190 00:08:38,348 --> 00:08:40,028 Speaker 1: when you start to show all the injuries and how 191 00:08:40,028 --> 00:08:42,548 Speaker 1: many seasons have been derailed by that, it starts to 192 00:08:42,548 --> 00:08:45,108 Speaker 1: be compelling. And maybe the thing is Shanahan plays a 193 00:08:45,148 --> 00:08:47,348 Speaker 1: physical style of ball that will lead to injuries. But 194 00:08:47,388 --> 00:08:49,188 Speaker 1: I just keep coming back to it works, it works, 195 00:08:49,228 --> 00:08:51,348 Speaker 1: it works, and if somebody gets hurt, it sucks, but 196 00:08:51,628 --> 00:09:08,628 Speaker 1: it works. Welcome back to Good Morning Football.

What do you expect from Pittsburgh in 209 00:09:43,908 --> 00:09:47,268 Speaker 1: week number three? Oh man, A rivalry game, two cities 210 00:09:47,268 --> 00:09:49,628 Speaker 1: that hate each other more than the teams themselves hate 211 00:09:49,628 --> 00:09:52,028 Speaker 1: each other. It's gonna bring out a little bit of chippiness. 212 00:09:52,108 --> 00:09:54,308 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun game. I'm sure it's gonna 213 00:09:54,308 --> 00:09:56,828 Speaker 1: be full of excitement. And you know, two teams that 214 00:09:56,868 --> 00:09:58,988 Speaker 1: are still trying to find themselves a little bit. It's 215 00:09:59,308 --> 00:10:01,628 Speaker 1: gonna be exciting. Yeah, for sure. You talk about two 216 00:10:01,628 --> 00:10:03,908 Speaker 1: teams still trying to find themselves a little bit. At 217 00:10:03,908 --> 00:10:06,908 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh still, the offense is still figuring out how they're 218 00:10:06,908 --> 00:10:09,308 Speaker 1: gonna put points on a board, and mister Bisky has 219 00:10:09,388 --> 00:10:12,388 Speaker 1: struggled some through these first two games, and they brought 220 00:10:12,468 --> 00:10:15,068 Speaker 1: him in, but they also drafted Kenny Pickett. The crowd 221 00:10:15,108 --> 00:10:18,788 Speaker 1: and the people in Pittsburgh are asking for Picket. Who 222 00:10:18,788 --> 00:10:21,308 Speaker 1: do you think should they go pick it? Should they 223 00:10:21,388 --> 00:10:24,108 Speaker 1: keep your Bisky? How would you handle this situation? You know, 224 00:10:24,428 --> 00:10:26,628 Speaker 1: I get the excitement of the Steelers fans. You know, 225 00:10:26,668 --> 00:10:29,868 Speaker 1: the number one draft pick, homet hometown quarterback. Right They've 226 00:10:29,868 --> 00:10:31,868 Speaker 1: been sitting there watching him through what he did at 227 00:10:31,868 --> 00:10:35,068 Speaker 1: the University of Pittsburgh. So I see the excitement. You know. 228 00:10:35,108 --> 00:10:36,988 Speaker 1: For me, I look at it and I see that 229 00:10:37,108 --> 00:10:39,988 Speaker 1: it's more of an offensive problem than a quarterback problem 230 00:10:40,068 --> 00:10:41,468 Speaker 1: right now. You know, I think they need to find 231 00:10:41,508 --> 00:10:43,788 Speaker 1: out who they are on offense more than they need 232 00:10:43,828 --> 00:10:46,428 Speaker 1: to need to find out who's directing the offense. You know, 233 00:10:46,468 --> 00:10:48,828 Speaker 1: it's just a little bit here and a little bit there, 234 00:10:48,868 --> 00:10:50,508 Speaker 1: and they just haven't been able to pull it together. 235 00:10:50,548 --> 00:10:53,068 Speaker 1: You know, they need to expand the field. You know 236 00:10:53,148 --> 00:10:55,228 Speaker 1: that that's the easy thing. Everybody's been saying it. But 237 00:10:55,268 --> 00:10:57,148 Speaker 1: I mean, when you play on a shorts field, you're 238 00:10:57,188 --> 00:10:59,188 Speaker 1: a defensive guy. You know, when you play on that 239 00:10:59,268 --> 00:11:01,228 Speaker 1: shorts field. You know, Ben don't break get him in 240 00:11:01,268 --> 00:11:03,428 Speaker 1: the red zone, and things get harder to do. But 241 00:11:03,468 --> 00:11:05,588 Speaker 1: if you're playing that way on the whole field, from 242 00:11:05,948 --> 00:11:08,148 Speaker 1: the whole length of the field, you know, you're doing 243 00:11:08,188 --> 00:11:10,788 Speaker 1: it every down and you're not doing yourself any justice 244 00:11:11,148 --> 00:11:13,428 Speaker 1: and it's making the game harder for yourself. And I 245 00:11:13,428 --> 00:11:15,188 Speaker 1: think that's their biggest problem right now. I think they 246 00:11:15,228 --> 00:11:17,228 Speaker 1: need to figure that out and then we can start 247 00:11:17,268 --> 00:11:19,468 Speaker 1: worrying about whether it's time for Kenney Pickett or not. 248 00:11:19,708 --> 00:11:21,988 Speaker 1: They will figure it out. When we were another the Steelers, 249 00:11:21,988 --> 00:11:24,108 Speaker 1: that's what they do. It's what Mike Tomlin does. And 250 00:11:24,228 --> 00:11:27,148 Speaker 1: you were with the Steelers Mike Tomlin's first season there. 251 00:11:27,268 --> 00:11:29,268 Speaker 1: He's never had a season with an under five hundred 252 00:11:29,268 --> 00:11:31,268 Speaker 1: and gets talked about all the time. There's a few 253 00:11:31,308 --> 00:11:34,148 Speaker 1: simple things about Tomlin that thing that he wins. Has 254 00:11:34,148 --> 00:11:36,988 Speaker 1: got cool sunglasses, has got good soundbites and everything. But 255 00:11:37,028 --> 00:11:39,628 Speaker 1: that's kind of the whole Mike Tomlin package that we know, 256 00:11:39,828 --> 00:11:41,628 Speaker 1: what is it about him that makes them so effective 257 00:11:41,628 --> 00:11:43,268 Speaker 1: and tell us something about him that maybe we don't 258 00:11:43,348 --> 00:11:46,148 Speaker 1: know as a coach. You know, I think the energy 259 00:11:46,188 --> 00:11:48,468 Speaker 1: that you see when he's in front of the camera 260 00:11:48,548 --> 00:11:50,988 Speaker 1: talking to you guys, and the quotes that you're talking about, 261 00:11:51,308 --> 00:11:54,868 Speaker 1: that's him all day, every day. That's him at six 262 00:11:54,868 --> 00:11:57,068 Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning walking through the door. That's him 263 00:11:57,108 --> 00:11:59,388 Speaker 1: at six o'clock at night you're walking around the facility. 264 00:11:59,988 --> 00:12:04,388 Speaker 1: He's constantly always pushing buttons, pushing guys, pushing the envelope, 265 00:12:04,828 --> 00:12:09,148 Speaker 1: and never never settles or rest for you know, status quo. 266 00:12:09,428 --> 00:12:11,508 Speaker 1: He's always looking for more from you, even when you're 267 00:12:11,508 --> 00:12:13,908 Speaker 1: already given your best and you're at your peak. And 268 00:12:13,948 --> 00:12:17,108 Speaker 1: that's what's kept them above five hundred his entire ten 269 00:12:17,188 --> 00:12:19,708 Speaker 1: years is he's the guy that's always pushing the buttons. 270 00:12:19,708 --> 00:12:22,308 Speaker 1: And you know, I went back in and did some 271 00:12:22,348 --> 00:12:26,468 Speaker 1: summer coaching a couple of years back, and I was amazed. 272 00:12:26,508 --> 00:12:28,908 Speaker 1: You know, this Dame is always a player driven, you know, 273 00:12:28,948 --> 00:12:31,708 Speaker 1: as a as a as a player himself, always feeble 274 00:12:31,748 --> 00:12:33,868 Speaker 1: to say that it's you know, the players are driving 275 00:12:33,908 --> 00:12:36,788 Speaker 1: the game, but there's so much of what might brings 276 00:12:37,068 --> 00:12:40,228 Speaker 1: that he's really the driver of the vehicle. Now he's 277 00:12:40,628 --> 00:12:43,668 Speaker 1: driving the team and pushing the buttons and getting it 278 00:12:43,708 --> 00:12:45,788 Speaker 1: out of guys. And it was interesting for me to 279 00:12:45,788 --> 00:12:48,788 Speaker 1: see first hand. But it's definitely. It's definitely the reason. 280 00:12:48,828 --> 00:12:51,908 Speaker 1: And that's why that's cool. Alan, You've been around a 281 00:12:51,908 --> 00:12:55,548 Speaker 1: lot of fantastic head coaches and coordinators and coaches that 282 00:12:55,788 --> 00:12:57,948 Speaker 1: were soon to become head coaches in your time.

But 324 00:14:53,028 --> 00:14:55,748 Speaker 1: that that was the biggest deal for me that evening, 325 00:14:56,028 --> 00:15:00,148 Speaker 1: were those opportunities, you know, the biggest perk. It's uh, 326 00:15:00,348 --> 00:15:03,188 Speaker 1: you know, it definitely opens opens a few more doors 327 00:15:03,588 --> 00:15:06,788 Speaker 1: and you know, catches people's ears a little bit longer. 328 00:15:07,188 --> 00:15:09,348 Speaker 1: But you know, for me going back this year, we 329 00:15:09,468 --> 00:15:11,668 Speaker 1: got so much of a chance more to go back 330 00:15:11,668 --> 00:15:13,668 Speaker 1: in and kind of fellowship and hang out with the 331 00:15:13,708 --> 00:15:16,228 Speaker 1: other Hall of famers now that we had all of 332 00:15:16,268 --> 00:15:19,708 Speaker 1: our initial you know craziness. It's pretty chaotic when you're 333 00:15:19,748 --> 00:15:21,508 Speaker 1: going in. You don't really get the chance to hang 334 00:15:21,548 --> 00:15:23,468 Speaker 1: out as much as you'd like. But to sit down 335 00:15:23,508 --> 00:15:26,668 Speaker 1: and have lunch with a Mike Singletary or to have 336 00:15:26,708 --> 00:15:29,028 Speaker 1: a beer with you know, this guy and that guy 337 00:15:29,148 --> 00:15:30,868 Speaker 1: or a group of guys and just sit there and 338 00:15:30,908 --> 00:15:34,788 Speaker 1: talk football and talk times and just have that fellowship 339 00:15:34,988 --> 00:15:39,028 Speaker 1: was amazing experience this past year. I think that fellowship 340 00:15:39,108 --> 00:15:42,188 Speaker 1: is very real and that that Hall of Fame lunch 341 00:15:42,388 --> 00:15:46,748 Speaker 1: that they have every Friday at the Canon is absolutely legendary, 342 00:15:46,788 --> 00:15:48,508 Speaker 1: and now you're going to be a part of that forever. 343 00:15:48,588 --> 00:15:50,788 Speaker 1: It's only the guys with the gold jackets. There might 344 00:15:50,828 --> 00:15:53,028 Speaker 1: be another guy that you know quite well making his 345 00:15:53,108 --> 00:15:55,588 Speaker 1: way to can your presenter at your Hall of Fame 346 00:15:55,628 --> 00:15:58,068 Speaker 1: and trinment with your former teammate, Hines Ward. Yesterday, the 347 00:15:58,148 --> 00:16:00,428 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame announced one hundred and twenty nine modern 348 00:16:00,468 --> 00:16:03,308 Speaker 1: era players nominated for the class of twenty twenty three, 349 00:16:03,308 --> 00:16:05,468 Speaker 1: and again hines was on the list. During your speech, 350 00:16:05,508 --> 00:16:07,388 Speaker 1: you said, Ward, we'll make it to cant In one day. 351 00:16:07,468 --> 00:16:09,988 Speaker 1: Take this time. Make a pleay the viewers of voters 352 00:16:10,068 --> 00:16:12,988 Speaker 1: they are watching, Why does hines Ward belong in Canon? 353 00:16:13,188 --> 00:16:15,548 Speaker 1: You know, there's a there's a couple of criteria. I 354 00:16:15,588 --> 00:16:18,588 Speaker 1: think for me. People tuned in to watch hines Ward. 355 00:16:18,868 --> 00:16:21,668 Speaker 1: They tuned in. The fans tuned in other teams fans 356 00:16:21,708 --> 00:16:24,308 Speaker 1: they tuned in to watch and see what he was 357 00:16:24,348 --> 00:16:26,628 Speaker 1: gonna do, who he was gonna block, how he was 358 00:16:26,668 --> 00:16:28,428 Speaker 1: gonna block in, how he was gonna pull it off. 359 00:16:28,828 --> 00:16:32,348 Speaker 1: Two rules were made for him. You know, there are 360 00:16:32,428 --> 00:16:35,228 Speaker 1: rules of wide receivers are not allowed to do what 361 00:16:35,308 --> 00:16:39,308 Speaker 1: Hines did because of him, He changed the game in 362 00:16:39,388 --> 00:16:41,668 Speaker 1: three The stats he was able to put up don't 363 00:16:41,668 --> 00:16:43,948 Speaker 1: compare it to a lot of other teams that were 364 00:16:43,948 --> 00:16:47,268 Speaker 1: on pass heavy offenses. But his numbers shine, and they're big, 365 00:16:47,668 --> 00:16:49,588 Speaker 1: and they're good for the type of offense that we 366 00:16:49,588 --> 00:16:51,948 Speaker 1: were in. We were a run first offense, and he 367 00:16:52,028 --> 00:16:54,828 Speaker 1: put team first and was selfless and went out there 368 00:16:54,828 --> 00:16:57,148 Speaker 1: and did what he was asked to do, and that 369 00:16:57,228 --> 00:17:00,188 Speaker 1: was to play wide receiver and to block and to 370 00:17:00,268 --> 00:17:02,588 Speaker 1: be a big part of the entire package of the game, 371 00:17:02,668 --> 00:17:05,148 Speaker 1: not just catching the ball down the field and catches 372 00:17:05,188 --> 00:17:08,388 Speaker 1: a game. He played the entire sixty players every every game, 373 00:17:08,628 --> 00:17:11,428 Speaker 1: and he blocked, and he played specials that at all 374 00:17:11,548 --> 00:17:13,908 Speaker 1: hinds Ward a legend. We'll see how it goes, but 375 00:17:14,068 --> 00:17:16,388 Speaker 1: your Royce means a lot, and I know he probably 376 00:17:16,388 --> 00:17:18,708 Speaker 1: appreciates it.

Mitch Rubisky said, quote, I just 390 00:18:01,268 --> 00:18:05,908 Speaker 1: gotta get these playmakers the ball. The playmaker who needs 391 00:18:05,908 --> 00:18:08,148 Speaker 1: to have the ball the most in Week three across 392 00:18:08,148 --> 00:18:11,908 Speaker 1: the league is Peter about Davante Adams on the second half. 393 00:18:12,788 --> 00:18:15,508 Speaker 1: Great first three halves of football for Davante, then when 394 00:18:15,508 --> 00:18:17,588 Speaker 1: they needed him, it was like Carr wasn't throwing to 395 00:18:17,708 --> 00:18:19,188 Speaker 1: him in the entire second half, but make he went 396 00:18:19,228 --> 00:18:21,188 Speaker 1: to go see I think he did. He was popping 397 00:18:21,188 --> 00:18:25,948 Speaker 1: bottles with those last things. As you know, the Raiders 398 00:18:25,988 --> 00:18:28,308 Speaker 1: are in two and this is not going great. He 399 00:18:28,348 --> 00:18:30,548 Speaker 1: was great for your fantasy team week one, but week 400 00:18:30,588 --> 00:18:32,228 Speaker 1: two he wasn't good for your fantasy team, even though 401 00:18:32,228 --> 00:18:34,108 Speaker 1: I had that little touchdown in the end zone in 402 00:18:34,148 --> 00:18:36,548 Speaker 1: the first half. DeVante's too good not to be getting 403 00:18:36,548 --> 00:18:38,668 Speaker 1: the rock Moore. If you look at these numbers. In 404 00:18:38,708 --> 00:18:41,908 Speaker 1: week one, he was targeted I think seventeen times, and 405 00:18:41,948 --> 00:18:44,548 Speaker 1: in week two, I think he was targeted four or 406 00:18:44,548 --> 00:18:47,148 Speaker 1: five times. It was it was wild to see him 407 00:18:47,188 --> 00:18:49,428 Speaker 1: just disappear in this game. And that might not be 408 00:18:49,428 --> 00:18:51,908 Speaker 1: because of Davante. Might have been great defense by the Cardinals. 409 00:18:52,068 --> 00:18:54,228 Speaker 1: It might have been Derek Carr just didn't think it 410 00:18:54,268 --> 00:18:56,508 Speaker 1: was the go to play in the second half. The 411 00:18:56,588 --> 00:18:58,548 Speaker 1: Raiders also had the ball for about three minutes in 412 00:18:58,588 --> 00:19:01,868 Speaker 1: that game out once the second half. Again, Davante Adams 413 00:19:01,908 --> 00:19:03,148 Speaker 1: no more week two. So I don't care if you 414 00:19:03,188 --> 00:19:04,868 Speaker 1: scored a touchdown. We need Wim more than that for 415 00:19:04,868 --> 00:19:07,268 Speaker 1: this trade and that money and all that stuff to 416 00:19:07,348 --> 00:19:08,988 Speaker 1: be really paying off the Raiders. I don't even think 417 00:19:09,028 --> 00:19:12,188 Speaker 1: it's his fault. Can't go on three seas, Yeah, can't. 418 00:19:12,228 --> 00:19:15,468 Speaker 1: You definitely can't for me. Another guy who played his 419 00:19:15,588 --> 00:19:18,588 Speaker 1: butt off last year over a thousand yards as a rookie, 420 00:19:18,708 --> 00:19:23,428 Speaker 1: Where's he Hile Pits. He has four catches for thirty 421 00:19:23,508 --> 00:19:27,828 Speaker 1: eight yards through two weeks this season on ten targets, 422 00:19:28,068 --> 00:19:31,388 Speaker 1: and I know Mariota is not frustrated. Arthur Smith said 423 00:19:31,388 --> 00:19:34,068 Speaker 1: he's not frustrated. Kyle Pitts said he's not frustrated. The 424 00:19:34,108 --> 00:19:36,868 Speaker 1: ball will come well somehow or another. They have to 425 00:19:36,908 --> 00:19:39,428 Speaker 1: figure out a way to get this guy the ball, 426 00:19:39,628 --> 00:19:42,548 Speaker 1: give him a recurse, do something, throw a screen to him. 427 00:19:42,588 --> 00:19:45,828 Speaker 1: But ten targets in two weeks over a thousand yards 428 00:19:45,948 --> 00:19:48,428 Speaker 1: last season. We have to find a way to get 429 00:19:48,468 --> 00:19:50,628 Speaker 1: Kyle PiZZ with the ball in his hands and let 430 00:19:50,708 --> 00:19:53,708 Speaker 1: him make place for this Atlanta Falcons off. Can you 431 00:19:53,748 --> 00:19:56,348 Speaker 1: smell what Dalvin is cooking? I can't because I never 432 00:19:56,348 --> 00:20:00,988 Speaker 1: saw him. I'm Monday Night football. Seventeen yards on six carries. 433 00:20:01,068 --> 00:20:05,108 Speaker 1: He caught four balls, good for nineteen yards. That's thirty 434 00:20:05,108 --> 00:20:09,028 Speaker 1: six yards from the line of scrimmage for Dalvin Cook. 435 00:20:09,548 --> 00:20:12,548 Speaker 1: Any game script that happens to the Minnesota Vikings should 436 00:20:12,548 --> 00:20:15,868 Speaker 1: include Dalvin Cook touching the ball twenty times, twenty times, 437 00:20:15,908 --> 00:20:19,068 Speaker 1: thirty times, my goodness, every other play should be he 438 00:20:19,108 --> 00:20:22,148 Speaker 1: should be feature. What is happening? What happened on Monday Night? 439 00:20:22,468 --> 00:20:24,748 Speaker 1: That cannot be the identity. What Vikings team are we 440 00:20:24,748 --> 00:20:26,828 Speaker 1: gonna get in week three, whoever it is, it has 441 00:20:26,828 --> 00:20:28,908 Speaker 1: to involve Dalvin Cook. It's easy to get drunk on 442 00:20:28,988 --> 00:20:31,388 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson and he's great, but that is the engine 443 00:20:31,468 --> 00:20:33,748 Speaker 1: right there at Minnesota's Dalvin. I'm gonna go with the 444 00:20:33,748 --> 00:20:35,628 Speaker 1: guy who's on a two and o team, who has 445 00:20:35,788 --> 00:20:38,588 Speaker 1: a really, really big game. Give me Lenny. Lenny Fournette, 446 00:20:38,668 --> 00:20:41,508 Speaker 1: number seven for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mike Evans is out, 447 00:20:41,988 --> 00:20:44,108 Speaker 1: Lenny about to have a day. Pick it up. We 448 00:20:44,188 --> 00:20:47,108 Speaker 1: need someone to make up the difference from Mike Evans 449 00:20:47,148 --> 00:20:48,708 Speaker 1: and carry this thing. And there's also been a thing 450 00:20:48,708 --> 00:20:51,268 Speaker 1: that's happened. Leonard Fournette came in the league. He was 451 00:20:51,388 --> 00:20:54,588 Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette and he was not number seven. He became 452 00:20:54,748 --> 00:20:57,148 Speaker 1: Lenny somewhere along the way. And in becoming Lenny and 453 00:20:57,148 --> 00:20:59,948 Speaker 1: turning back to number seven, he became really fun and goofy, 454 00:20:59,948 --> 00:21:01,588 Speaker 1: and he makes fun of the weak game thing. Look 455 00:21:01,588 --> 00:21:04,268 Speaker 1: at the tweet that he had after week two, just unapologetic. 456 00:21:04,508 --> 00:21:08,268 Speaker 1: He tweets to my family's owners, I'm sorry, touchdown's coming soon. 457 00:21:09,028 --> 00:21:11,948 Speaker 1: It's great. There haven't been the touchdowns there need to 458 00:21:11,948 --> 00:21:14,548 Speaker 1: be this week. He should be the engine against that 459 00:21:14,668 --> 00:21:17,148 Speaker 1: Green Bay defense, not Leonard Fournette. It's kind of like 460 00:21:17,188 --> 00:21:19,628 Speaker 1: how Jason tells us Darius Slave is just Slay. He's 461 00:21:19,628 --> 00:21:21,548 Speaker 1: just Lenny. You should have Lenny on his name plate. 462 00:21:21,588 --> 00:21:23,348 Speaker 1: I would Lenny number seven. You gotta have a big day. 463 00:21:23,388 --> 00:21:24,988 Speaker 1: Give those Fantish owners what they want, all right. So 464 00:21:25,108 --> 00:21:27,708 Speaker 1: FA Football is headed to London next week to kick 465 00:21:27,708 --> 00:21:32,508 Speaker 1: off the international series.
