1 00:00:07,266 --> 00:00:09,706 Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Schrager is a production of the 2 00:00:09,826 --> 00:00:29,586 Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. Well, look, Jets fans are 3 00:00:29,666 --> 00:00:31,986 Speaker 1: up in arms, obviously because this season has been such 4 00:00:32,026 --> 00:00:34,386 Speaker 1: a mess. And I think from ownership on down to 5 00:00:34,826 --> 00:00:37,146 Speaker 1: the guys working in the parking lot, they would tell 6 00:00:37,186 --> 00:00:40,706 Speaker 1: you that this was as disastrous a twenty twenty four 7 00:00:40,786 --> 00:00:43,426 Speaker 1: campaign as they could have possibly imagined, especially to go 8 00:00:43,466 --> 00:00:45,546 Speaker 1: back to Week one when there was so much excitement 9 00:00:45,546 --> 00:00:48,786 Speaker 1: and so much hype going into this team. Five years 10 00:00:48,866 --> 00:00:51,306 Speaker 1: is a long time for a general manager to be 11 00:00:51,386 --> 00:00:54,026 Speaker 1: employed and not make the playoffs. They weren't making the 12 00:00:54,026 --> 00:00:56,826 Speaker 1: playoffs again, I think on paper, if you look at it, 13 00:00:56,946 --> 00:01:00,426 Speaker 1: Joe Douglas's time had run its course. The question is 14 00:01:00,426 --> 00:01:02,746 Speaker 1: is he to blame for how this went down? And 15 00:01:02,786 --> 00:01:05,626 Speaker 1: should he be the one to fall on the sword here? Well, 16 00:01:05,986 --> 00:01:07,346 Speaker 1: that that doesn't matter. 17 00:01:07,466 --> 00:01:09,466 Speaker 2: He's gone. The owner's going to make the decisions. 18 00:01:09,946 --> 00:01:12,586 Speaker 3: There's a lot of revisionist history too on this, and 19 00:01:12,626 --> 00:01:14,946 Speaker 3: it's like, well, they shouldn't have gotten Rogers, or they 20 00:01:14,946 --> 00:01:16,386 Speaker 3: shouldn't have gone for Mike Williams. 21 00:01:16,426 --> 00:01:18,706 Speaker 2: Are they why do they go for Davonte? Guys? 22 00:01:18,746 --> 00:01:20,866 Speaker 3: They were all in on twenty twenty four, they were 23 00:01:20,906 --> 00:01:24,226 Speaker 3: all in the second they made some of those moves 24 00:01:24,226 --> 00:01:27,346 Speaker 3: and went after Rogers last year. So when you're all in, 25 00:01:27,386 --> 00:01:29,266 Speaker 3: you swing the bat. You keep on swinging the bat. 26 00:01:29,346 --> 00:01:33,986 Speaker 3: There's no in between. Now Sala's gone, Joe Douglas is gone. 27 00:01:34,506 --> 00:01:36,826 Speaker 3: I think the original sin for Douglas is that he 28 00:01:36,906 --> 00:01:37,986 Speaker 3: never got a quarterback. 29 00:01:38,506 --> 00:01:39,626 Speaker 2: And it's very rare. 30 00:01:39,506 --> 00:01:41,546 Speaker 3: In this league that you get a chance to not 31 00:01:41,586 --> 00:01:43,626 Speaker 3: only inherit one that was a top three pick in 32 00:01:43,666 --> 00:01:47,426 Speaker 3: Sam Darnold, draft your own, which was Zach Wilson, and 33 00:01:47,466 --> 00:01:49,786 Speaker 3: then get the green light to go get Aaron Rodgers. 34 00:01:50,386 --> 00:01:52,386 Speaker 3: A lot of people online and a lot of reporters 35 00:01:52,386 --> 00:01:54,466 Speaker 3: we trust are like, yeah, but this guy brought in 36 00:01:54,546 --> 00:01:58,106 Speaker 3: such a roster with Sauce and Garrett Wilson and Jermaine 37 00:01:58,146 --> 00:02:00,706 Speaker 3: Johnson and look at all the young talent, and it's 38 00:02:00,706 --> 00:02:03,306 Speaker 3: like asking, you know, Mary Todd Lincoln, how is the play? 39 00:02:03,426 --> 00:02:04,506 Speaker 2: You need a quarterback? 40 00:02:04,706 --> 00:02:04,906 Speaker 4: Good? 41 00:02:05,186 --> 00:02:07,706 Speaker 2: You need a quarterback. And at the end of the day, 42 00:02:08,586 --> 00:02:09,626 Speaker 2: that's what's gonna do them in. 43 00:02:09,706 --> 00:02:12,506 Speaker 3: And now they're in this hole where Rogers might want 44 00:02:12,506 --> 00:02:15,146 Speaker 3: to come back. Rogers isn't saying I'm retiring at the 45 00:02:15,226 --> 00:02:16,586 Speaker 3: end of the season, and the Jets might. 46 00:02:16,506 --> 00:02:17,626 Speaker 2: Not want Rogers back. 47 00:02:17,666 --> 00:02:19,266 Speaker 3: It's gonna be a decision that they have to make 48 00:02:19,306 --> 00:02:21,466 Speaker 3: at the end of the season. Joe Douglas will be fine. 49 00:02:21,506 --> 00:02:23,826 Speaker 3: He's a scout and is a scout at his heart, like, 50 00:02:23,866 --> 00:02:26,106 Speaker 3: he'll be okay. He'll work for twenty years in this league, 51 00:02:26,226 --> 00:02:28,666 Speaker 3: either being a GM again or he'll be a personnel guy. 52 00:02:29,026 --> 00:02:32,186 Speaker 3: But after five and a half years of not sniffing 53 00:02:32,186 --> 00:02:35,306 Speaker 3: the playoffs, he's the one who's gonna take the fall here. 54 00:02:35,346 --> 00:02:37,226 Speaker 2: And to Ian Rappaport's point, the. 55 00:02:37,266 --> 00:02:39,746 Speaker 3: Jets knew this was happening Douglas having Douglas has not 56 00:02:39,746 --> 00:02:42,706 Speaker 3: been himself this year. He obviously was just finishing out 57 00:02:42,706 --> 00:02:45,266 Speaker 3: the string as it was. Let's everyone get a head 58 00:02:45,306 --> 00:02:46,946 Speaker 3: start on things. Joe can figure out what he's gonna 59 00:02:46,946 --> 00:02:48,546 Speaker 3: do the next six months of his life, and the 60 00:02:48,586 --> 00:02:50,626 Speaker 3: Jets can get a headstart and actually doing research without 61 00:02:50,666 --> 00:02:52,986 Speaker 3: doing it around his back on who might be their 62 00:02:53,026 --> 00:02:55,986 Speaker 3: next general manager coach. The definition of insanity. He's doing 63 00:02:55,986 --> 00:02:57,306 Speaker 3: the same thing over and over again and coming up 64 00:02:57,346 --> 00:02:58,626 Speaker 3: with the same results. And that's what the Jets have 65 00:02:58,666 --> 00:03:01,546 Speaker 3: been for the last twenty years and really since Woody 66 00:03:01,586 --> 00:03:03,626 Speaker 3: Johnson took over the team in the early two thousands. 67 00:03:03,626 --> 00:03:05,386 Speaker 3: They had a couple of brief years of Rex Ryan 68 00:03:05,426 --> 00:03:07,666 Speaker 3: football where they were great, and then it's been just 69 00:03:07,706 --> 00:03:10,626 Speaker 3: downtrodden since they have the longest playoff drought thirteen years. 70 00:03:10,626 --> 00:03:13,586 Speaker 2: They're not going back today. There was an interesting dynamic here. 71 00:03:13,626 --> 00:03:15,706 Speaker 2: Sala lost his job. I'll tell you. I told you 72 00:03:15,746 --> 00:03:16,466 Speaker 2: on the next morning. 73 00:03:16,786 --> 00:03:19,866 Speaker 3: Joe Douglas wasn't aware that Sala was getting fired that morning, 74 00:03:19,906 --> 00:03:20,986 Speaker 3: so he shut up to work. 75 00:03:20,866 --> 00:03:22,426 Speaker 2: And it's like, oh, your guy that you're arm in 76 00:03:22,546 --> 00:03:23,706 Speaker 2: arm with, Like he's. 77 00:03:23,546 --> 00:03:26,226 Speaker 3: Out of work too. So that list right there. Okay, 78 00:03:26,226 --> 00:03:28,866 Speaker 3: so it's Joe Douglas. That is Himie who's the president? 79 00:03:28,906 --> 00:03:31,826 Speaker 3: That is Christopher Johnson, the younger brother. That's Aaron Rodgers. 80 00:03:31,906 --> 00:03:33,946 Speaker 3: And that that's Woody Johnson too, is right. That's the 81 00:03:33,946 --> 00:03:36,586 Speaker 3: brain trust with Joe Douglas with an ex throom. Those 82 00:03:36,626 --> 00:03:37,706 Speaker 3: are the guys who are going to decide. 83 00:03:37,706 --> 00:03:37,826 Speaker 4: Now. 84 00:03:37,826 --> 00:03:39,706 Speaker 3: There's been a lot of talk in league circles that 85 00:03:40,226 --> 00:03:43,386 Speaker 3: maybe the Jets hire a president of football operations type. 86 00:03:43,386 --> 00:03:45,746 Speaker 3: You know in Detroit we talk about the Lions. Chris 87 00:03:45,746 --> 00:03:49,106 Speaker 3: Spielman came in and kind of overlooked things from this 88 00:03:49,346 --> 00:03:52,026 Speaker 3: president's role, but more of an ownership ally and a 89 00:03:52,026 --> 00:03:54,866 Speaker 3: bridge between ownership in the front office. Maybe that's possibility. 90 00:03:55,026 --> 00:03:57,826 Speaker 3: And I saw Gary Meyer suggested Curtis Martin for that job. 91 00:03:58,066 --> 00:04:00,946 Speaker 3: I've seen Chad Pennington's name mentioned. I've seen Anthony Beck's 92 00:04:00,986 --> 00:04:02,786 Speaker 3: name mentioned, who still works with the organization. 93 00:04:03,146 --> 00:04:05,986 Speaker 2: That's a possibility. That's more of like a figurehead position. 94 00:04:06,506 --> 00:04:08,466 Speaker 2: You need a coach, You need a coach. 95 00:04:09,106 --> 00:04:10,826 Speaker 3: GMS in this league, they'll come and go. 96 00:04:10,906 --> 00:04:11,786 Speaker 2: They need a coach. 97 00:04:11,866 --> 00:04:14,586 Speaker 3: And I think the most important process here is going 98 00:04:14,666 --> 00:04:16,986 Speaker 3: to be a determining what to do with Rogers, and 99 00:04:17,026 --> 00:04:19,226 Speaker 3: if Rogers wants to come back, that is a very 100 00:04:19,266 --> 00:04:21,386 Speaker 3: interesting discussion to be had because he does not owe 101 00:04:21,466 --> 00:04:24,826 Speaker 3: any more guaranteed money. And then be the hiring of 102 00:04:24,866 --> 00:04:27,346 Speaker 3: the coach along with a general manager. But I don't 103 00:04:27,346 --> 00:04:29,186 Speaker 3: know if it's hey the GM makes a decision on 104 00:04:29,226 --> 00:04:29,666 Speaker 3: the coach here. 105 00:04:29,706 --> 00:04:31,786 Speaker 2: I think coach is so important in the league right now. 106 00:04:32,026 --> 00:04:33,906 Speaker 3: GM is almost secondary to who's going to be the 107 00:04:33,946 --> 00:04:34,866 Speaker 3: man calling the shots? 108 00:04:36,586 --> 00:04:37,466 Speaker 2: What's up everybody? 109 00:04:37,506 --> 00:04:39,826 Speaker 3: And we did the Coach of the Week award and 110 00:04:39,866 --> 00:04:41,826 Speaker 3: this week we're going down to the Big Easy where 111 00:04:41,986 --> 00:04:44,306 Speaker 3: the coach of the week is interim head coach for 112 00:04:44,346 --> 00:04:49,426 Speaker 3: the Saints, Darren Rizzi. Darren Rizzy, Saints won again, did 113 00:04:49,466 --> 00:04:53,026 Speaker 3: so in dramatic fashion. And you know the broadcasters last night, 114 00:04:53,386 --> 00:04:55,826 Speaker 3: they had a joke. It was Kenny Albert Jonathan Vilma 115 00:04:55,906 --> 00:04:58,946 Speaker 3: that maybe he's got a curse on opposing kickers because 116 00:04:58,986 --> 00:04:59,586 Speaker 3: young wig. 117 00:04:59,466 --> 00:05:01,946 Speaker 2: Kum is three of his four field goal attempts last week. 118 00:05:02,226 --> 00:05:04,386 Speaker 3: Dustin Hopkins was wide left on all three of his 119 00:05:04,426 --> 00:05:05,706 Speaker 3: field goal tries this week. 120 00:05:06,106 --> 00:05:07,826 Speaker 2: But also Rizzy was going. 121 00:05:07,586 --> 00:05:09,666 Speaker 3: Forward on fourth down time and time again on his 122 00:05:09,746 --> 00:05:13,826 Speaker 3: team and they were converting. Rizzy goes for it on 123 00:05:13,866 --> 00:05:15,026 Speaker 3: fourth and here's Kenny. 124 00:05:14,826 --> 00:05:16,186 Speaker 2: Albert with the call of the week. 125 00:05:17,746 --> 00:05:28,146 Speaker 5: He touchdown. That's why ball for you. That's Rizzy ball 126 00:05:28,306 --> 00:05:31,746 Speaker 5: for you. Okay, what are the kids saying? He's got 127 00:05:31,746 --> 00:05:34,586 Speaker 5: that risk, He's got something. 128 00:05:34,946 --> 00:05:35,386 Speaker 2: Let's go. 129 00:05:35,906 --> 00:05:37,786 Speaker 3: This is where they were at in the last you know, 130 00:05:37,866 --> 00:05:40,586 Speaker 3: the losing strict with Dennis Allen. Suddenly the four and seven, 131 00:05:40,986 --> 00:05:43,826 Speaker 3: the Falcons can't buy a win. Panthers are the Panthers 132 00:05:43,866 --> 00:05:45,426 Speaker 3: and the Buccaneers have lost four street. 133 00:05:45,626 --> 00:05:46,826 Speaker 2: The Saints are alive again. 134 00:05:47,546 --> 00:05:51,866 Speaker 3: Darren Rizzy sixteen years Special teams coaches coach, with everyone 135 00:05:51,906 --> 00:05:55,506 Speaker 3: from Parcels to Dan Campbell right on down the list 136 00:05:55,986 --> 00:05:58,226 Speaker 3: is now the head coach of the Saints and they 137 00:05:58,226 --> 00:06:01,426 Speaker 3: are red hot, and Jamie he is my coach of 138 00:06:01,426 --> 00:06:13,506 Speaker 3: the week. We do the Fab five, which means we 139 00:06:13,546 --> 00:06:15,346 Speaker 3: reward the top five rookies. 140 00:06:15,626 --> 00:06:20,066 Speaker 2: As these guys are checking their phone. That's a rough one. Director, 141 00:06:20,106 --> 00:06:22,786 Speaker 2: Here we go. Maybe that's the rest of the audience too. 142 00:06:23,266 --> 00:06:25,226 Speaker 2: Let's get in now. Yeah, I got it. 143 00:06:25,306 --> 00:06:25,586 Speaker 3: Let's go. 144 00:06:26,346 --> 00:06:29,186 Speaker 2: I got it. That's the thought bubble in my head. 145 00:06:29,186 --> 00:06:30,306 Speaker 2: Off and here we go. 146 00:06:30,466 --> 00:06:33,106 Speaker 3: Let's get into the top five rookies of the week. 147 00:06:33,266 --> 00:06:36,986 Speaker 3: Number five, we're going to Tyresee Knight, the Seahawks defensive 148 00:06:37,026 --> 00:06:40,146 Speaker 3: lineman who was an absolute clog at the line for 149 00:06:40,266 --> 00:06:42,746 Speaker 3: a team that had Christian McCaffrey and a ton of 150 00:06:42,746 --> 00:06:47,146 Speaker 3: other offensive players trying to get going. Tyrese Knight ten tackles, 151 00:06:47,666 --> 00:06:51,706 Speaker 3: one quarterback hit. We led all rookies in tackles, and 152 00:06:51,746 --> 00:06:54,626 Speaker 3: you also went zero misstackles. Now, Mike McDonald was a 153 00:06:54,626 --> 00:06:57,266 Speaker 3: former linebackers coach. If he's gonna draft a linebacker, he 154 00:06:57,386 --> 00:07:00,386 Speaker 3: better be good Night was all over the field. If 155 00:07:00,426 --> 00:07:03,106 Speaker 3: you were watching this game on Sunday, he was a 156 00:07:03,266 --> 00:07:06,986 Speaker 3: heat seeking missile. Now we've talked a lot about the 157 00:07:07,026 --> 00:07:09,186 Speaker 3: Seattle defense in some of the big names over the 158 00:07:09,266 --> 00:07:12,146 Speaker 3: years that they've had with Weatherspoon and Woolen and of 159 00:07:12,186 --> 00:07:15,026 Speaker 3: course up front with Leonard Williams. The best player on 160 00:07:15,066 --> 00:07:17,066 Speaker 3: the defense on Sunday was this guy, Tyreese Knin. 161 00:07:17,146 --> 00:07:19,546 Speaker 2: His story is cool. It's from Lakeland, Florida. 162 00:07:19,586 --> 00:07:22,626 Speaker 3: But he was at Independence Community College and Independent Canvas. 163 00:07:22,666 --> 00:07:25,186 Speaker 2: If you're like, what is Independent? Remember Last Chance You? 164 00:07:25,546 --> 00:07:28,746 Speaker 3: Yes, sure, Last Chance You was that series on He 165 00:07:28,826 --> 00:07:30,746 Speaker 3: was a player on that team. He was on Last 166 00:07:30,786 --> 00:07:33,226 Speaker 3: Chance You, goes to UTEP and eventually is a fourth 167 00:07:33,266 --> 00:07:35,506 Speaker 3: round pick of the Seahawks. Tyrese Knight, we see you, 168 00:07:35,946 --> 00:07:40,186 Speaker 3: our only linebacker on the board. Number four best performances 169 00:07:40,186 --> 00:07:43,746 Speaker 3: from the rookies. Here is wide receiver Ladd McConkie for 170 00:07:43,866 --> 00:07:47,746 Speaker 3: the LA Chargers, second round pick out of Georgia. Now 171 00:07:47,946 --> 00:07:50,626 Speaker 3: this didn't necessarily start the way that Ladd wanted. If 172 00:07:50,666 --> 00:07:53,306 Speaker 3: you remember here, he makes this play and he goes 173 00:07:53,386 --> 00:07:56,026 Speaker 3: down on the sideline and it's like, oh no, the 174 00:07:56,106 --> 00:07:57,146 Speaker 3: Chargers just lose. 175 00:07:57,226 --> 00:07:58,186 Speaker 2: Ladd McConkie. 176 00:07:59,346 --> 00:08:02,346 Speaker 3: He went into the blue tent, the whole thing, and 177 00:08:02,386 --> 00:08:05,666 Speaker 3: then the guy comes back and has maybe his best 178 00:08:05,706 --> 00:08:07,426 Speaker 3: game as a dayla. 179 00:08:07,186 --> 00:08:08,666 Speaker 2: Ussa is gonna fight that injury. 180 00:08:09,146 --> 00:08:13,746 Speaker 3: Huge catches all over the field. Ladd was awesome in 181 00:08:13,786 --> 00:08:14,426 Speaker 3: this game. 182 00:08:14,706 --> 00:08:16,946 Speaker 2: And if you look at what he's done this season, 183 00:08:17,466 --> 00:08:18,306 Speaker 2: Lad McConkie. 184 00:08:18,306 --> 00:08:21,266 Speaker 3: In a rookie class that includes Marvin Harrison Junior and 185 00:08:21,346 --> 00:08:26,066 Speaker 3: Malik Neighbors and Roe Mdoonza, Lad mcconkey's up there as 186 00:08:26,106 --> 00:08:29,186 Speaker 3: one of the best rookie performers. We talked about it 187 00:08:29,586 --> 00:08:31,306 Speaker 3: like that good Lad good job produces. 188 00:08:31,306 --> 00:08:33,706 Speaker 2: That's good, Chris McClain, I see you, good, Lad Good. 189 00:08:33,786 --> 00:08:38,826 Speaker 3: Lad McLean is IRUs she knows as well. Forty three 190 00:08:38,826 --> 00:08:41,546 Speaker 3: catches rank some third, all these things third, and he's 191 00:08:41,586 --> 00:08:44,226 Speaker 3: the only player who's in the top three of all 192 00:08:44,266 --> 00:08:47,466 Speaker 3: the rookies in all of these categories. So Lad McConkie, 193 00:08:47,506 --> 00:08:48,946 Speaker 3: another big performance. 194 00:08:48,506 --> 00:08:53,226 Speaker 2: Including clutch catches number three. We're going to New England with. 195 00:08:53,266 --> 00:08:56,026 Speaker 3: A quarterback who actually lost in the game but was 196 00:08:56,106 --> 00:09:00,866 Speaker 3: awesome again. Hey Patriots fans, smile this morning. You got somebody. 197 00:09:01,026 --> 00:09:03,186 Speaker 3: You got a dude. His name is Drake May, and 198 00:09:03,306 --> 00:09:09,586 Speaker 3: Drake May was awesome on Sunday, a losing effort. Drake May, guys, 199 00:09:09,586 --> 00:09:12,586 Speaker 3: tossing the ball all over the yard and had one 200 00:09:12,626 --> 00:09:15,946 Speaker 3: here to the big offensive lineman. He played so well 201 00:09:15,986 --> 00:09:18,786 Speaker 3: that he had maybe the greatest offensive coach in the league, 202 00:09:19,746 --> 00:09:22,026 Speaker 3: talking as if he sees something in the future from 203 00:09:22,066 --> 00:09:25,746 Speaker 3: New England. Here's Sean mcvagh, the opposing coach, on Drake. 204 00:09:25,586 --> 00:09:27,346 Speaker 2: May after the game. 205 00:09:28,266 --> 00:09:29,826 Speaker 6: You know, you look at it and you can really 206 00:09:29,826 --> 00:09:31,786 Speaker 6: see his ability to create off schedule. I thought he 207 00:09:31,826 --> 00:09:33,426 Speaker 6: did a great job of being able to make plays 208 00:09:33,426 --> 00:09:35,386 Speaker 6: in the pocket today extend drives. I thought he was 209 00:09:35,426 --> 00:09:38,706 Speaker 6: patient taking some underneath checkdowns where guys were able to create. 210 00:09:38,986 --> 00:09:40,906 Speaker 6: We had some tighter coverages and he was able to 211 00:09:40,906 --> 00:09:43,226 Speaker 6: fit the ball into tight windows. So he looks like 212 00:09:43,266 --> 00:09:43,866 Speaker 6: a stud. 213 00:09:44,706 --> 00:09:46,586 Speaker 2: Yeah, it does look like a stunt. 214 00:09:46,626 --> 00:09:49,146 Speaker 3: And take out the list of all the rookies since 215 00:09:49,306 --> 00:09:50,666 Speaker 3: nineteen ninety. 216 00:09:50,906 --> 00:09:52,346 Speaker 2: Let's go back to that far. 217 00:09:53,106 --> 00:09:55,506 Speaker 3: You're talking about guys who have had forty pass attempts 218 00:09:55,546 --> 00:09:57,546 Speaker 3: and still completed seventy percent of their passes. 219 00:09:57,986 --> 00:09:59,466 Speaker 2: Herbert did it three times. 220 00:09:59,146 --> 00:10:01,146 Speaker 3: The rookie Burrow did it, and that same COVID year, 221 00:10:01,666 --> 00:10:04,426 Speaker 3: Drake May's already done it twice. And he's the only 222 00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:06,386 Speaker 3: rookie to do it twice in his first six starts 223 00:10:06,826 --> 00:10:07,426 Speaker 3: New England. 224 00:10:07,426 --> 00:10:09,306 Speaker 2: You got someone. Congratulations. 225 00:10:09,386 --> 00:10:12,026 Speaker 3: Drake May's a stud, but he's not in our top two. 226 00:10:12,186 --> 00:10:12,826 Speaker 2: Our top two. 227 00:10:12,866 --> 00:10:14,946 Speaker 3: I had hard time with this because he had one 228 00:10:14,946 --> 00:10:17,906 Speaker 3: player on offense and one player on defense. Number two 229 00:10:17,986 --> 00:10:21,026 Speaker 3: player was last week's number one player, and he's a 230 00:10:21,066 --> 00:10:23,946 Speaker 3: guy who absolutely silenced Terry McLaurin. 231 00:10:24,226 --> 00:10:25,746 Speaker 2: Quineon Mitchell makes the list. 232 00:10:25,866 --> 00:10:30,186 Speaker 3: Quinon Mitchell, Eagles cornerback, is back on the board number one. 233 00:10:30,266 --> 00:10:32,786 Speaker 2: Last week he was number two. Terry McLaurin enter this 234 00:10:32,826 --> 00:10:34,906 Speaker 2: game as one of the best players in all of football, 235 00:10:35,306 --> 00:10:36,546 Speaker 2: a guy who was red hot. 236 00:10:36,786 --> 00:10:42,026 Speaker 3: He had zero catches, zero catches on twenty five different 237 00:10:42,146 --> 00:10:46,266 Speaker 3: routes that were passing routes. Quineyon Mitchell lined up against 238 00:10:46,346 --> 00:10:48,666 Speaker 3: Terry McLaurin and there was not a single catch to 239 00:10:48,746 --> 00:10:49,226 Speaker 3: be had. 240 00:10:49,506 --> 00:10:50,506 Speaker 2: But that's nothing new. 241 00:10:50,826 --> 00:10:54,026 Speaker 3: This is a guy Mitchell who has stopped everyone from 242 00:10:54,226 --> 00:10:57,266 Speaker 3: Mike Evans to Chris Olave and I love this before 243 00:10:57,306 --> 00:10:59,706 Speaker 3: the game and the starter jacket eight that's him and 244 00:10:59,786 --> 00:11:02,466 Speaker 3: Cooper dejen Now I knew they wore T shirts that 245 00:11:02,546 --> 00:11:05,146 Speaker 3: got all Twitter a buzz and everyone loved it on Instagram. 246 00:11:05,146 --> 00:11:06,906 Speaker 2: And the T shirts you can sell them you want. 247 00:11:07,386 --> 00:11:08,266 Speaker 2: This is just cool. 248 00:11:08,546 --> 00:11:12,226 Speaker 3: This is nineties Eagles throwback starter jackets.

Look at what this 252 00:11:18,906 --> 00:11:19,746 Speaker 2: guy is doing. 253 00:11:20,146 --> 00:11:25,026 Speaker 3: Quinnion Mitchell, the first defensive back taken in April's draft 254 00:11:25,426 --> 00:11:30,506 Speaker 3: and out of Toledo, has been an absolute game wrecker 255 00:11:30,826 --> 00:11:33,826 Speaker 3: in his first season in the NFL. He's number two 256 00:11:34,026 --> 00:11:37,746 Speaker 3: on our list, and yet he's not number one because 257 00:11:37,826 --> 00:11:40,506 Speaker 3: I couldn't go a different direction than this guy. 258 00:11:40,866 --> 00:11:43,706 Speaker 2: Bo Nicks, your first week is number one on the list. 259 00:11:43,786 --> 00:11:49,586 Speaker 2: Bot Knicks was sad station all on Sunday. Nicks went 260 00:11:49,786 --> 00:11:51,506 Speaker 2: twenty eight of thirty three. 261 00:11:51,426 --> 00:11:55,306 Speaker 3: That's eighty five percent completion percentage for three hundred and 262 00:11:55,386 --> 00:11:59,946 Speaker 3: seven passing yards. He threw four passing touchdowns, he had 263 00:11:59,986 --> 00:12:03,426 Speaker 3: no interceptions, and he threw a passer rating for oh 264 00:12:03,506 --> 00:12:06,026 Speaker 3: one hundred and forty five, which is off the charts. 265 00:12:06,906 --> 00:12:09,466 Speaker 3: This guy's the first rookie in NFL history to complete 266 00:12:09,546 --> 00:12:12,026 Speaker 3: eighty percent of his passes, have four passing touchdowns, and 267 00:12:12,066 --> 00:12:13,866 Speaker 3: three hundred or more passing yards in a game. 268 00:12:14,346 --> 00:12:14,946 Speaker 2: Unbelievable. 269 00:12:14,946 --> 00:12:18,906 Speaker 3: Performance, and yet my favorite bow Knicks pass, my favorite 270 00:12:18,946 --> 00:12:21,546 Speaker 3: one was not one of the big touchdown passes. 271 00:12:21,906 --> 00:12:23,706 Speaker 2: It was this one. Here. 272 00:12:24,306 --> 00:12:27,466 Speaker 3: Let's go to the broadcast and my favorite bow Knicks 273 00:12:27,506 --> 00:12:29,586 Speaker 3: to Courtland Sutton play of the afternoon. 274 00:12:31,026 --> 00:12:32,506 Speaker 2: Here's Nicks, a couple of pumps. 275 00:12:32,506 --> 00:12:35,586 Speaker 4: Now he's gonna run, floats it down to sun shut 276 00:12:35,746 --> 00:12:41,706 Speaker 4: ball for Courtland Sudden hugainst Day j Terrell. Two pumps 277 00:12:41,746 --> 00:12:45,346 Speaker 4: and a twenty three yard toss from Nicks to Sutton. 278 00:12:45,706 --> 00:12:48,186 Speaker 3: That play is so beautiful because it's a play action, 279 00:12:48,506 --> 00:12:52,066 Speaker 3: it's a scramble and then it's two pump fakes and 280 00:12:52,106 --> 00:12:54,826 Speaker 3: he completes the pass, drops it in the bucket. The 281 00:12:54,826 --> 00:12:58,666 Speaker 3: guy's amazing. He's having an incredible season. The Broncos are 282 00:12:58,746 --> 00:12:59,826 Speaker 3: in the thick of the playoff. 283 00:13:00,066 --> 00:13:00,506 Speaker 2: He was the. 284 00:13:00,586 --> 00:13:05,426 Speaker 3: Sixth quarterback taken in April's draft, the sixth quarterback taken, 285 00:13:05,466 --> 00:13:08,826 Speaker 3: but he is the first our list this week, let's 286 00:13:08,866 --> 00:13:11,146 Speaker 3: take a look at the top five rookies. There's a 287 00:13:11,186 --> 00:13:13,026 Speaker 3: lot of guys who didn't make this list. And I 288 00:13:13,106 --> 00:13:15,306 Speaker 3: know Brock Bauers wants to get in here, and I 289 00:13:15,386 --> 00:13:18,666 Speaker 3: know there's several different names that might have deserved it. 290 00:13:18,946 --> 00:13:20,626 Speaker 2: But We're going with these five. 291 00:13:20,466 --> 00:13:25,186 Speaker 3: Bo Nicks one, Quinnon Mitchell two, Drake May three, Ladi 292 00:13:25,226 --> 00:13:28,226 Speaker 3: mcconki Tyrese Knight. We see you, Braden Fisk, we know 293 00:13:28,266 --> 00:13:30,226 Speaker 3: you were awesome. Also, you didn't get on the list 294 00:13:30,266 --> 00:13:33,186 Speaker 3: this week. You've got the Eagles two rookies on defense 295 00:13:33,266 --> 00:13:35,346 Speaker 3: versus the Rams two rookies. They're playing Sunday night. Here's 296 00:13:35,386 --> 00:13:38,226 Speaker 3: my final five on the list. This is the fab 297 00:13:38,306 --> 00:13:39,586 Speaker 3: five from week eleven. 298 00:13:39,906 --> 00:13:41,026 Speaker 2: What you got, Jamie Peter. 299 00:13:41,186 --> 00:13:43,946 Speaker 3: If everyone was about to crown Jade Daniels halfway to 300 00:13:43,986 --> 00:13:45,986 Speaker 3: the season for offensive Rookie of the Year, can bo 301 00:13:46,106 --> 00:13:47,626 Speaker 3: Nicks come run in the second half? 302 00:13:47,826 --> 00:13:48,106 Speaker 2: Wow? 303 00:13:48,266 --> 00:13:51,666 Speaker 3: You better believe it, especially if the Broncos keep winning. 304 00:13:51,666 --> 00:13:54,226 Speaker 3: And I'll tell you something, Jamie, it could get interesting 305 00:13:54,266 --> 00:13:57,386 Speaker 3: if Drake May keeps on having these performances too. It's 306 00:13:57,426 --> 00:14:01,026 Speaker 3: a loaded rookie class of quarterbacks and Jaden Daniels has 307 00:14:01,066 --> 00:14:05,066 Speaker 3: not been crowned anything yet. See, we're not looking like 308 00:14:05,106 --> 00:14:07,986 Speaker 3: a Super Bowl championaier game, I think Russell Wilson went 309 00:14:08,266 --> 00:14:10,826 Speaker 3: two of seven in the red zone through a horrible interception. 310 00:14:11,266 --> 00:14:14,186 Speaker 2: The Ravens just happened to be worse. The Ravens have issues. 311 00:14:14,586 --> 00:14:16,146 Speaker 3: You watch those highlights, like all right, they got a 312 00:14:16,226 --> 00:14:16,866 Speaker 3: chance at the end. 313 00:14:16,866 --> 00:14:17,226 Speaker 2: To do it. 314 00:14:17,586 --> 00:14:19,546 Speaker 3: All the little things that the Ravens used to do right, 315 00:14:19,586 --> 00:14:22,866 Speaker 3: they're doing wrong, like Justin Tucker missing these kicks here. 316 00:14:23,186 --> 00:14:26,066 Speaker 2: Little things like that the fans don't see. But you 317 00:14:26,106 --> 00:14:27,306 Speaker 2: make decision choices too. 318 00:14:27,346 --> 00:14:29,186 Speaker 3: This is a close one score game. Throughout the game, 319 00:14:29,306 --> 00:14:32,466 Speaker 3: Derek Henry only touched the ball thirteen times all season. 320 00:14:32,466 --> 00:14:35,746 Speaker 3: They've been awful in the defensive backfield. This play here 321 00:14:35,786 --> 00:14:38,106 Speaker 3: like right off the face mask and then the two 322 00:14:38,106 --> 00:14:42,186 Speaker 3: point conversion. Kyle, you see agal Or screaming at someone beforehand. 323 00:14:42,186 --> 00:14:43,626 Speaker 2: This is after a timeoutur It looked like they're going 324 00:14:43,626 --> 00:14:45,306 Speaker 2: to do a jump pass. They didn't get a chance 325 00:14:45,346 --> 00:14:45,666 Speaker 2: to do it. 326 00:14:45,786 --> 00:14:48,226 Speaker 3: The Ravens didn't deserve to win this game, and they 327 00:14:48,226 --> 00:14:52,066 Speaker 3: don't deserve to be discussed like Super Bowl contenders when 328 00:14:52,706 --> 00:14:55,306 Speaker 3: they win and shootouts thirty six to thirty five against 329 00:14:55,306 --> 00:14:57,946 Speaker 3: the Bengals. We celebrate Lamar as the MVP, and we're 330 00:14:57,986 --> 00:15:01,226 Speaker 3: doing Steph Curry, you know, cutups and stuff. But they're 331 00:15:01,226 --> 00:15:03,786 Speaker 3: a mediocre team right now, they're seven and four, they're 332 00:15:03,826 --> 00:15:06,906 Speaker 3: in the mix. They'll play wild Card weekend right now. 333 00:15:06,946 --> 00:15:09,666 Speaker 3: And you'll see maybe they'll win around. But like I 334 00:15:09,706 --> 00:15:12,226 Speaker 3: can't come in this morning and be excited about the 335 00:15:12,306 --> 00:15:14,746 Speaker 3: Ravens and the Steelers. Steelers, that's a great win for them, 336 00:15:14,906 --> 00:15:16,906 Speaker 3: and they did it because that's how they do it. 337 00:15:16,946 --> 00:15:17,946 Speaker 3: The Ravens, though. 338 00:15:17,866 --> 00:15:19,746 Speaker 2: They are four losses, and those four losses, they do 339 00:15:19,826 --> 00:15:20,666 Speaker 2: not look great. 340 00:15:21,466 --> 00:15:23,826 Speaker 3: Waited on the bye week, Joe Shane was actually in 341 00:15:23,986 --> 00:15:28,586 Speaker 3: Colorado watching Shador Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes over the weekend. 342 00:15:28,626 --> 00:15:30,826 Speaker 3: On the bye week, Giants are one and five in 343 00:15:30,906 --> 00:15:33,986 Speaker 3: close games. They've gotten little to nothing from the quarterback position, 344 00:15:34,026 --> 00:15:35,946 Speaker 3: and Daniel Jones is not a second or third year guy, 345 00:15:35,946 --> 00:15:39,026 Speaker 3: He's a six year player. That season is most likely 346 00:15:39,066 --> 00:15:40,866 Speaker 3: done for New York. So why not see what you 347 00:15:40,946 --> 00:15:43,026 Speaker 3: got and Drew Locke see what you got in time 348 00:15:43,026 --> 00:15:44,386 Speaker 3: of the video and see if they can give a lift. 349 00:15:44,266 --> 00:15:44,706 Speaker 2: To the team. 350 00:15:44,866 --> 00:15:47,346 Speaker 3: But I would assume that the Daniel Jones era in 351 00:15:47,386 --> 00:15:49,426 Speaker 3: New York for the Giants, with a high draft pick 352 00:15:49,466 --> 00:15:51,186 Speaker 3: coming up, is likely coming to a. 353 00:15:51,146 --> 00:15:52,106 Speaker 2: Close up to this year. 354 00:16:00,586 --> 00:16:03,266 Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Schrager is a production of the 355 00:16:03,426 --> 00:16:07,386 Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio.
