00:00:21,788 --> 00:00:25,268
Speaker 2: And apparently we have a sweater share program that happens

8
00:00:25,268 --> 00:00:27,668
Speaker 2: on VMFB s Twitter Share, Twitter Share.

9
00:00:27,868 --> 00:00:30,108
Speaker 3: I took what are you wearing that yesterday?

10
00:00:30,108 --> 00:00:31,148
Speaker 4: Listen, and I'm beat.

11
00:00:31,148 --> 00:00:33,348
Speaker 5: I had another option too. They're a fire T shirt

12
00:00:33,388 --> 00:00:34,348
Speaker 5: bank that I wanted to wear.

13
00:00:34,428 --> 00:00:35,868
Speaker 4: But it's all good. And listen.

14
00:00:35,908 --> 00:00:38,508
Speaker 6: When you played for the Cowboys, I played for the Chargers,

15
00:00:38,548 --> 00:00:39,388
Speaker 6: I had two options.

16
00:00:39,468 --> 00:00:40,068
Speaker 4: I went in there.

17
00:00:40,428 --> 00:00:42,548
Speaker 6: Isaiah had like ten. I was like, you could do

18
00:00:42,628 --> 00:00:44,468
Speaker 6: with one less? Yeah, you could do it one less.

19
00:00:44,468 --> 00:00:44,868
Speaker 4: I took it.

20
00:00:44,908 --> 00:00:48,068
Speaker 2: When the NFL partners with a fashion brand, you're right,

21
00:00:48,148 --> 00:00:50,988
Speaker 2: they give a single option for all thirty one other

22
00:00:50,988 --> 00:00:52,828
Speaker 2: teams and the Cowboys got like thirty two options.

23
00:00:53,148 --> 00:00:56,188
Speaker 3: Way to go. So Manti just dipped into the company closet. Today.

24
00:00:56,188 --> 00:00:58,828
Speaker 2: It's all good, but we got to talk about some

25
00:00:59,108 --> 00:01:01,388
Speaker 2: parts of the NFL that we just don't touch on

26
00:01:01,468 --> 00:01:04,028
Speaker 2: very often. That's on whiteboard Wednesday. Also, we lost a

27
00:01:04,028 --> 00:01:06,468
Speaker 2: man man down. Kyle Brands on his way to Western

28
00:01:06,508 --> 00:01:07,708
Speaker 2: New York to talk to Josh Allence.

29
00:01:07,828 --> 00:01:22,788
Speaker 4: Roll it, good.

30
00:01:26,548 --> 00:01:29,268
Speaker 3: Morning football on a Wednesday. It's Wednesday.

31
00:01:29,348 --> 00:01:32,868
Speaker 2: Yeah, guys, listen, there's that wonderful Melissa Etherne song that

32
00:01:32,908 --> 00:01:34,388
Speaker 2: you listened to at the start of every show.

33
00:01:34,388 --> 00:01:35,948
Speaker 3: I almost just didn't roll it. We were just gonna

34
00:01:35,948 --> 00:01:37,228
Speaker 3: start talking about the Steelers right there.

35
00:01:38,108 --> 00:01:40,708
Speaker 4: I was ready, Okay, I'm not being here through us off.

36
00:01:41,388 --> 00:01:44,588
Speaker 4: It's a little some order us off.

37
00:01:44,628 --> 00:01:46,428
Speaker 5: You've been around linebackers too long because you was on

38
00:01:46,468 --> 00:01:47,148
Speaker 5: the balls on your feet.

39
00:01:47,148 --> 00:01:49,828
Speaker 3: You start, you're ready to hit the get. I was like,

40
00:01:49,908 --> 00:01:52,308
Speaker 3: someone tell me the play. I'm wearing the green dot

41
00:01:52,348 --> 00:01:55,388
Speaker 3: on my helmet. The play is this. Let's talk about Rogers,

42
00:01:55,388 --> 00:01:55,748
Speaker 3: all right.

43
00:01:55,988 --> 00:01:58,828
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is hoping to lead Pittsburgh to a deep

44
00:01:58,908 --> 00:02:01,988
Speaker 2: playoff run this year because their appearances in the playoffs.

45
00:02:01,708 --> 00:02:04,348
Speaker 3: Is just not enough for this team. Giving him plenty.

46
00:02:04,388 --> 00:02:06,628
Speaker 2: We have help on the offense with additions like white

47
00:02:06,628 --> 00:02:09,628
Speaker 2: out DK Metcalf tight end John new Smith. Rogers is

48
00:02:09,668 --> 00:02:12,228
Speaker 2: looking forward to getting on the field with this bunch

49
00:02:12,308 --> 00:02:12,708
Speaker 2: of guys.

50
00:02:14,188 --> 00:02:15,668
Speaker 7: People look at the receive a corps. You know, we

51
00:02:15,708 --> 00:02:18,788
Speaker 7: have DK and then a bunch of other different, different

52
00:02:18,828 --> 00:02:20,748
Speaker 7: guys that are get a chance to kind of make

53
00:02:20,748 --> 00:02:22,508
Speaker 7: a name for themselves. But I like the guys that

54
00:02:22,548 --> 00:02:25,748
Speaker 7: we got and excited about seeing how it all comes together.

55
00:02:25,868 --> 00:02:27,468
Speaker 7: I think, you know, this is the time of year

56
00:02:27,468 --> 00:02:29,948
Speaker 7: where people talk so much about chemistry this and chemistry

57
00:02:29,948 --> 00:02:32,788
Speaker 7: that and blah blah blah. So much of that is overblown.

58
00:02:32,948 --> 00:02:36,068
Speaker 7: You know what it comes down to his communication? Can

59
00:02:36,108 --> 00:02:39,108
Speaker 7: he be on the same page? Can you do what

60
00:02:39,268 --> 00:02:41,988
Speaker 7: is called first and foremost? And started to see how

61
00:02:42,708 --> 00:02:45,268
Speaker 7: it looks out there week one, Well, listening.

62
00:02:44,908 --> 00:02:47,308
Speaker 2: To Rogers speak about this getting a team on the

63
00:02:47,348 --> 00:02:48,588
Speaker 2: same page, HiT's different.

64
00:02:48,668 --> 00:02:50,108
Speaker 3: After his time with the New York Jets.

65
00:02:50,148 --> 00:02:54,468
Speaker 2: He knows what it takes after that essentially failed experiment

66
00:02:54,548 --> 00:02:57,468
Speaker 2: in New York. Now the Steelers, they look different. How

67
00:02:57,468 --> 00:03:00,788
Speaker 2: does this year Steelers team Isaiah stack up against the

68
00:03:00,788 --> 00:03:03,268
Speaker 2: rest of the AFC North in terms of survival of

69
00:03:03,348 --> 00:03:05,828
Speaker 2: the fittest?

70
00:03:05,628 --> 00:03:09,908
Speaker 4: No, I mean you think about that. Let's look at

71
00:03:09,948 --> 00:03:10,228
Speaker 4: it like this.

72
00:03:10,268 --> 00:03:14,148
Speaker 5: Okay, the Steelers are better than what they were. Okay,

73
00:03:14,188 --> 00:03:15,708
Speaker 5: and when you look at some of the rest of

74
00:03:15,708 --> 00:03:18,628
Speaker 5: the division, Cleveland is Cleveland. Okay, when you look at

75
00:03:18,708 --> 00:03:22,268
Speaker 5: the Cincinnati Bengals, Cincinnati Bengals are pretty much unchanged. I

76
00:03:22,268 --> 00:03:24,548
Speaker 5: mean you think about the fact that they resigned Jamar Chase,

77
00:03:24,668 --> 00:03:27,508
Speaker 5: they resigned t Higgins, they were able to get Trey

78
00:03:27,548 --> 00:03:29,788
Speaker 5: Henderson's done for his raise, you know, making thirty million

79
00:03:29,788 --> 00:03:31,948
Speaker 5: dollars a year now. So they have the same squad

80
00:03:32,188 --> 00:03:34,508
Speaker 5: with the addition of a Shamar Stewart, So they have

81
00:03:34,628 --> 00:03:36,788
Speaker 5: a little bit of an addition, but pretty much the

82
00:03:36,828 --> 00:03:39,148
Speaker 5: same team. So if we're expecting the same team, then

83
00:03:39,188 --> 00:03:40,948
Speaker 5: we're expecting the team to not make the playoffs. We're

84
00:03:40,988 --> 00:03:43,828
Speaker 5: expecting the team to heavy heavily on the offensive side

85
00:03:44,068 --> 00:03:46,708
Speaker 5: and bad on defense. When you look at the Steelers,

86
00:03:46,708 --> 00:03:49,588
Speaker 5: the Steelers made the playoffs, But what did the Steelers add?

87
00:03:49,788 --> 00:03:52,628
Speaker 5: The Steelers added a ton. The Steelers added a bunch

88
00:03:52,628 --> 00:03:54,988
Speaker 5: of guys on the obviously on their team. And you

89
00:03:54,988 --> 00:03:57,748
Speaker 5: guys see it right here, Okay, DK Mica, Darius Slay,

90
00:03:57,988 --> 00:04:00,948
Speaker 5: Thorn Hill, Aaron Rodgers, Ramsey, John new Smith. These guys

91
00:04:00,948 --> 00:04:03,428
Speaker 5: are going for the gusto right here. So when you

92
00:04:03,428 --> 00:04:05,428
Speaker 5: talk about how did they match up against the rest

93
00:04:05,428 --> 00:04:07,628
Speaker 5: of the division, that's how I see it. You talk

94
00:04:07,628 --> 00:04:10,508
Speaker 5: about a playoff team that went ahead and address areas

95
00:04:10,508 --> 00:04:14,388
Speaker 5: of concern and added on a bunch of veteran count contributors.

96
00:04:14,548 --> 00:04:16,748
Speaker 5: They're much better off than what the Cincinnati Bingals are.

97
00:04:16,748 --> 00:04:19,148
Speaker 5: And we don't even have to talk about the Cleveland Browns,

98
00:04:19,228 --> 00:04:19,988
Speaker 5: but we'll talk about that.

99
00:04:20,028 --> 00:04:22,828
Speaker 6: We'll talk about the offense for the Steelers. To me

100
00:04:23,028 --> 00:04:24,948
Speaker 6: to your point, Isaiah, I think it's pretty much the

101
00:04:24,988 --> 00:04:27,268
Speaker 6: same like you signed DK Metcalf.

102
00:04:27,948 --> 00:04:29,748
Speaker 4: We saw on the graphic. He's just like a.

103
00:04:29,788 --> 00:04:33,748
Speaker 6: George Pickens, big athletic guy who can run routes. He's

104
00:04:33,788 --> 00:04:36,188
Speaker 6: a possession receiver. He can get the yards after the catch.

105
00:04:36,228 --> 00:04:38,868
Speaker 6: That's what George Pickens was. Now Aaron Rodgers goes there,

106
00:04:38,988 --> 00:04:42,188
Speaker 6: and Aaron is in his later part of his career.

107
00:04:42,268 --> 00:04:44,548
Speaker 6: So does that kind of change that dynamic for me?

108
00:04:44,708 --> 00:04:47,348
Speaker 6: As far as this offense that I'm looking at, if

109
00:04:47,348 --> 00:04:50,028
Speaker 6: I'm trying to measure him against the entire AFC North,

110
00:04:50,228 --> 00:04:52,508
Speaker 6: I say, their third You know, Cleveland is going to

111
00:04:52,548 --> 00:04:54,748
Speaker 6: be Cleveland, where there's stuff that we have to see

112
00:04:54,788 --> 00:04:58,068
Speaker 6: with Cleveland for us to make an accurate kind of

113
00:04:58,228 --> 00:05:00,628
Speaker 6: take on them. But you can't say that they're better

114
00:05:00,628 --> 00:05:02,508
Speaker 6: than the Bengals, and you definitely can't say they're better

115
00:05:02,508 --> 00:05:07,468
Speaker 6: than the Ravens. Now when I'm talking offense, guys defensively, Now.

116
00:05:07,268 --> 00:05:08,308
Speaker 4: This is where it gets.

117
00:05:08,548 --> 00:05:11,388
Speaker 6: When I look at them defensively, it gets, it gets

118
00:05:11,388 --> 00:05:14,268
Speaker 6: spicy because I think they have a really good defense.

119
00:05:14,468 --> 00:05:17,548
Speaker 6: And when I measure them against the Ravens, like from

120
00:05:17,748 --> 00:05:19,948
Speaker 6: when we go position by position, throw that up there,

121
00:05:19,988 --> 00:05:23,668
Speaker 6: go ahead, throw it up there by the position, defensive line,

122
00:05:23,828 --> 00:05:26,068
Speaker 6: linebackers and secondary. If I'm looking at it from a

123
00:05:26,108 --> 00:05:27,708
Speaker 6: defensive line, I'm going to give the no.

124
00:05:27,828 --> 00:05:30,468
Speaker 4: To the Steelers, like when you have Alex high Smith,

125
00:05:30,668 --> 00:05:30,908
Speaker 4: T J.

126
00:05:31,068 --> 00:05:34,028
Speaker 6: Watt, Cam Hayward, Nick Herbig, their first round pick, Derrek Harman,

127
00:05:34,428 --> 00:05:37,428
Speaker 6: like they I think that they pose a greater threat

128
00:05:37,668 --> 00:05:38,908
Speaker 6: to be more disruptive.

129
00:05:39,188 --> 00:05:41,908
Speaker 4: Now, when I go down the list of the linebackers.

130
00:05:41,788 --> 00:05:44,148
Speaker 6: I'm going to get the knots Roquons like I got

131
00:05:44,148 --> 00:05:47,028
Speaker 6: to give that to him, former teammate of mine, one

132
00:05:47,028 --> 00:05:48,788
Speaker 6: of the most the smartest.

133
00:05:48,308 --> 00:05:50,588
Speaker 4: Players out there, true leader.

134
00:05:50,948 --> 00:05:55,908
Speaker 6: Now the secondary, I'm gonna even though that the Steelers

135
00:05:55,908 --> 00:05:59,748
Speaker 6: signed j R. Alexander and I mean Jalen Ramsey and

136
00:06:01,028 --> 00:06:03,908
Speaker 6: Slay I'm still going to give it to the Ravens

137
00:06:04,388 --> 00:06:06,828
Speaker 6: because the safeties the middle of that defense.

138
00:06:06,868 --> 00:06:09,268
Speaker 4: Colin Hamilton, you have the rookie. I think that the

139
00:06:09,308 --> 00:06:10,628
Speaker 4: secondary goes to them.

140
00:06:10,668 --> 00:06:13,628
Speaker 6: So it's a one eight one B thing for me defensively,

141
00:06:13,828 --> 00:06:17,348
Speaker 6: but offensively they are clear number three for me. Defensively,

142
00:06:17,468 --> 00:06:20,828
Speaker 6: it's you know, you gotta have your what's your flavor?

143
00:06:20,948 --> 00:06:22,868
Speaker 4: I like the Ravens flavor defensively?

144
00:06:23,188 --> 00:06:25,508
Speaker 5: Okay, I know you like Basket Robbins. But but the

145
00:06:25,548 --> 00:06:29,308
Speaker 5: thing is, how can you state that that they're not

146
00:06:29,348 --> 00:06:33,428
Speaker 5: better than the Bengals when the when the offensively no period?

147
00:06:33,668 --> 00:06:37,388
Speaker 4: Like are you talking about Kosis wise?

148
00:06:37,828 --> 00:06:42,348
Speaker 5: Okay, so when you start, yeah, that's my face, Like

149
00:06:42,388 --> 00:06:42,828
Speaker 5: I'm trying to.

150
00:06:42,828 --> 00:06:45,308
Speaker 6: Look at my Caro and in my Paris face on me,

151
00:06:45,388 --> 00:06:47,508
Speaker 6: Like I'm saying, like, there's a playoffs in the Jampaneese.

152
00:06:47,588 --> 00:06:49,708
Speaker 5: There's one team that made the playoffs, one team did

153
00:06:49,708 --> 00:06:52,748
Speaker 5: not make the playoffs. One team got substantially better with

154
00:06:52,788 --> 00:06:55,868
Speaker 5: their roster. One team is pretty much the same. Yeah, right,

155
00:06:55,948 --> 00:06:57,748
Speaker 5: So when I look at those two teams, that's a

156
00:06:57,908 --> 00:07:00,468
Speaker 5: clear decisive thing. I Mean, you got a head coach

157
00:07:00,548 --> 00:07:03,068
Speaker 5: and Mike Tomlin that all he does is make the playoffs.

158
00:07:03,068 --> 00:07:04,748
Speaker 5: Now you can argue about how far he goes into

159
00:07:04,748 --> 00:07:06,748
Speaker 5: playoffs on all that jazz, But this is the most

160
00:07:06,828 --> 00:07:08,868
Speaker 5: active that we have ever seen the Pittsburgh Steelers be

161
00:07:09,108 --> 00:07:12,108
Speaker 5: in free agency, in an offseason acquisitions. These guys are

162
00:07:12,108 --> 00:07:14,308
Speaker 5: being aggressive and they're trying to do some things to

163
00:07:14,428 --> 00:07:15,588
Speaker 5: address the areas of concern.

164
00:07:15,628 --> 00:07:18,188
Speaker 6: Yeah, I split them defense and offense, and when I

165
00:07:18,268 --> 00:07:20,948
Speaker 6: look at them defensively and offensively, that's how I hit

166
00:07:21,228 --> 00:07:22,828
Speaker 6: stacked against the rest of the arctum.

167
00:07:23,028 --> 00:07:25,988
Speaker 2: I fear though, that where the conversation began, which is

168
00:07:25,988 --> 00:07:29,068
Speaker 2: with Aaron Rodgers and his opinions about how he can

169
00:07:29,068 --> 00:07:31,508
Speaker 2: get the Steelers on track and to create a deep

170
00:07:31,548 --> 00:07:34,908
Speaker 2: playoff runs. It's almost like this topic or this name

171
00:07:35,028 --> 00:07:37,268
Speaker 2: or this quarterback in the NFL that we don't want

172
00:07:37,308 --> 00:07:37,828
Speaker 2: to talk about.

173
00:07:37,868 --> 00:07:39,908
Speaker 3: It's like Voldemort over there in the corner. Like when

174
00:07:39,908 --> 00:07:41,948
Speaker 3: he was with the Jets. Everyone was all Aaron Rodgers.

175
00:07:41,988 --> 00:07:44,588
Speaker 2: They were so fascinated by it, and perhaps people that

176
00:07:44,748 --> 00:07:46,868
Speaker 2: work in the NFL or fans of it, they're kind

177
00:07:46,868 --> 00:07:49,068
Speaker 2: of burned by that experience and they don't they just

178
00:07:49,108 --> 00:07:50,988
Speaker 2: don't know what it's going to look like for Rogers

179
00:07:51,028 --> 00:07:53,268
Speaker 2: and the Steelers. So I really challenge you guys like,

180
00:07:53,388 --> 00:07:55,948
Speaker 2: look at Rogers, look at what he can or cannot

181
00:07:55,948 --> 00:07:58,428
Speaker 2: do with this team. How does that affect your decision

182
00:07:58,468 --> 00:07:59,508
Speaker 2: making with the Steelers.

183
00:07:59,548 --> 00:08:02,748
Speaker 5: I like Rogers. I always like Rogers as a player.

184
00:08:03,028 --> 00:08:05,148
Speaker 5: I think he has always been deductive. I don't think

185
00:08:05,148 --> 00:08:07,668
Speaker 5: there's ever been a point of his in his in

186
00:08:07,708 --> 00:08:11,668
Speaker 5: his career where you felt like he couldn't perform, outside

187
00:08:11,708 --> 00:08:13,828
Speaker 5: of when he towards Achilles. He was coming back off

188
00:08:13,868 --> 00:08:17,588
Speaker 5: of that. This dude is somebody who conducts himself and

189
00:08:17,668 --> 00:08:19,748
Speaker 5: conducts the offense the way in which it should be.

190
00:08:20,148 --> 00:08:23,228
Speaker 5: You have zero concerns about any defense that presents himself.

191
00:08:23,268 --> 00:08:25,228
Speaker 5: You have zero concerns about can he get you into

192
00:08:25,268 --> 00:08:27,948
Speaker 5: the right play, zero concerns about is the protection right?

193
00:08:28,788 --> 00:08:30,708
Speaker 5: Can he make the alterations in terms of routes?

194
00:08:30,948 --> 00:08:32,428
Speaker 4: Like this is your guy.

195
00:08:32,788 --> 00:08:35,108
Speaker 5: He could still throw the ball, He's still accurate, he

196
00:08:35,148 --> 00:08:37,308
Speaker 5: still has velocity on the ball, and he has the

197
00:08:37,348 --> 00:08:39,828
Speaker 5: ability now to go out there and be protected. If

198
00:08:39,868 --> 00:08:43,588
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers is protected, he is dangerous. I don't care

199
00:08:43,628 --> 00:08:45,108
Speaker 5: how old he is. He could be one hundred and

200
00:08:45,148 --> 00:08:46,988
Speaker 5: seventy seven, as long as he's still out there throwing

201
00:08:46,988 --> 00:08:49,988
Speaker 5: the rock like he is he's gonna be absolute problem.

202
00:08:50,028 --> 00:08:53,468
Speaker 6: Well, you talk about protection, there's no better protection than

203
00:08:53,508 --> 00:08:55,228
Speaker 6: a run game. And you know that Isaiah and Arthur

204
00:08:55,268 --> 00:08:55,908
Speaker 6: Smith is going to.

205
00:08:55,948 --> 00:08:56,268
Speaker 4: Run the game.

206
00:08:56,268 --> 00:08:57,748
Speaker 6: But I think that's run the ball. I think that's

207
00:08:57,748 --> 00:09:00,668
Speaker 6: what's so different about Aaron Rodgers in this team. I

208
00:09:00,668 --> 00:09:02,428
Speaker 6: think this is the first team that he's been on

209
00:09:02,468 --> 00:09:05,348
Speaker 6: in his entire career where he's not to be predominantly

210
00:09:05,468 --> 00:09:07,988
Speaker 6: out of shotgun, and I think that bodes well for

211
00:09:08,108 --> 00:09:10,948
Speaker 6: him later in his years. Like, yeah, guys, this is

212
00:09:10,948 --> 00:09:13,988
Speaker 6: still Aaron Rodgers. Like he's a four time MVP. He's

213
00:09:14,228 --> 00:09:16,268
Speaker 6: He's the only guy who has more MVPs than him

214
00:09:16,308 --> 00:09:18,628
Speaker 6: is Peyton Manning. Like this is how great this guy is.

215
00:09:18,668 --> 00:09:21,468
Speaker 6: I know, as of the past two years he's had

216
00:09:21,548 --> 00:09:24,948
Speaker 6: injuries and recovering from an injury. I expect this man

217
00:09:24,988 --> 00:09:27,068
Speaker 6: to go out there and too ball. Like the guy

218
00:09:27,108 --> 00:09:30,708
Speaker 6: can still spin it like one of the strongest, most

219
00:09:30,788 --> 00:09:34,308
Speaker 6: accurate arms, one of the smartest quarterbacks, probably the last

220
00:09:34,308 --> 00:09:36,188
Speaker 6: of a dying breed when it comes to being able

221
00:09:36,228 --> 00:09:39,508
Speaker 6: to stand behind the center and conduct an offense.

222
00:09:39,668 --> 00:09:40,468
Speaker 4: After the huddle.

223
00:09:40,548 --> 00:09:42,748
Speaker 6: Yeah, not a lot of quarterbacks nowadays know how to

224
00:09:42,788 --> 00:09:45,988
Speaker 6: do that. But Aaron Rodgers talks about how he's confident

225
00:09:46,028 --> 00:09:48,828
Speaker 6: when he sees the entire picture. He's confident when he

226
00:09:48,828 --> 00:09:51,588
Speaker 6: sees the entire defense. He's able to dissect the defense

227
00:09:51,628 --> 00:09:53,748
Speaker 6: that way. So when you have the brains of him,

228
00:09:53,788 --> 00:09:56,588
Speaker 6: you have the arm, and you are two three years

229
00:09:56,868 --> 00:10:01,668
Speaker 6: post injury. YEP, I expect Aaron Rodgers to look pretty

230
00:10:01,748 --> 00:10:02,348
Speaker 6: dang good.

231
00:10:02,508 --> 00:10:05,148
Speaker 2: Now we mentioned Kyle Brandt's on his way to Western

232
00:10:05,148 --> 00:10:08,468
Speaker 2: New York to speak with Josh Allen for a show

233
00:10:08,468 --> 00:10:10,388
Speaker 2: that we are working on next week for Good Morning FOOTBA,

234
00:10:10,388 --> 00:10:12,108
Speaker 2: which will be great to hear from him. But Kyle

235
00:10:12,228 --> 00:10:15,348
Speaker 2: also stopped by Latroe, Pennsylvania for a Steelers training camp

236
00:10:15,428 --> 00:10:17,588
Speaker 2: and he sat down with Rogers, and that interview from

237
00:10:17,628 --> 00:10:20,588
Speaker 2: back Together weekend still is ringing in my head, mostly

238
00:10:20,628 --> 00:10:23,948
Speaker 2: because I think Rogers gets an unfair rap at times

239
00:10:23,988 --> 00:10:27,708
Speaker 2: as to how he participates in social commentary outside of

240
00:10:27,708 --> 00:10:28,908
Speaker 2: the world of football.

241
00:10:28,548 --> 00:10:29,668
Speaker 3: And that's his prerogative.

242
00:10:29,788 --> 00:10:32,588
Speaker 2: However, what I do think he is is still very

243
00:10:32,628 --> 00:10:35,188
Speaker 2: self aware of how he exists within the football world.

244
00:10:35,188 --> 00:10:37,388
Speaker 2: Like I just don't think he would still be putting

245
00:10:37,388 --> 00:10:40,988
Speaker 2: the pads on, attending training camp participating if he thought

246
00:10:41,028 --> 00:10:43,068
Speaker 2: at all that he was going to be detrimental to

247
00:10:43,108 --> 00:10:46,548
Speaker 2: a team's success, specifically with the respect that he spoke

248
00:10:46,628 --> 00:10:49,108
Speaker 2: so fondly of for Mike Tomlin and the Steelers brand.

249
00:10:49,188 --> 00:10:50,868
Speaker 3: He wouldn't go out there if he didn't feel quite

250
00:10:50,948 --> 00:10:52,148
Speaker 3: right about being Rogers.

251
00:10:52,188 --> 00:10:54,708
Speaker 2: So I'm hoping for the best for the Steelers mostly

252
00:10:54,748 --> 00:10:57,788
Speaker 2: because of the brand. Now, k Kyle's like this ever,

253
00:10:57,908 --> 00:10:59,828
Speaker 2: he's like Oz, He's like this presence that we always

254
00:10:59,828 --> 00:11:02,708
Speaker 2: talk about on the show, even when he's not here. Manti,

255
00:11:02,748 --> 00:11:06,468
Speaker 2: real quick as we prepare for prediction week, do you

256
00:11:06,468 --> 00:11:08,468
Speaker 2: feel the same way about the Steelers logo the way

257
00:11:08,508 --> 00:11:09,428
Speaker 2: that Kyle Brandt does.

258
00:11:11,028 --> 00:11:12,468
Speaker 4: You know, it's hard not to.

259
00:11:13,268 --> 00:11:15,468
Speaker 6: It's hard not to have confidence in the Steelers when

260
00:11:15,468 --> 00:11:18,188
Speaker 6: they have Mike Tomlin. It's hard the fact that that

261
00:11:18,188 --> 00:11:20,748
Speaker 6: guy has been to the playoffs so many years, Like,

262
00:11:20,828 --> 00:11:24,708
Speaker 6: there comes a time where just showing up, if you

263
00:11:24,788 --> 00:11:26,708
Speaker 6: just show up eventually, you know, we're always told if

264
00:11:26,748 --> 00:11:29,148
Speaker 6: you just show up eventually, it's going to work out.

265
00:11:29,188 --> 00:11:31,348
Speaker 6: Like it's just hard when you're thinking about the Steelers,

266
00:11:31,348 --> 00:11:34,588
Speaker 6: the Steelers' way, like the traditions, and you have somebody

267
00:11:34,588 --> 00:11:36,668
Speaker 6: like Aaron Rodgers that you know is more than capable

268
00:11:36,708 --> 00:11:39,268
Speaker 6: to make that equation work. It's hard not to look

269
00:11:39,308 --> 00:11:41,388
Speaker 6: at the Steelers and think, like, man, they're going to

270
00:11:41,428 --> 00:11:44,348
Speaker 6: get to the playoffs. If they get to the playoffs,

271
00:11:44,348 --> 00:11:46,468
Speaker 6: what's going to happen now that you have a different equation.

272
00:11:46,588 --> 00:11:48,628
Speaker 6: They are a different variable, and that's Aaron Rodgers. And

273
00:11:48,668 --> 00:11:50,068
Speaker 6: he's one of the best to ever play the game.

274
00:11:50,148 --> 00:11:52,908
Speaker 6: So I'm it's hard. I know, it's so hard, Like

275
00:11:52,908 --> 00:11:55,348
Speaker 6: it's August, like, it's so hard to think of this.

276
00:11:55,428 --> 00:11:57,268
Speaker 6: I need to see week one, But I think again,

277
00:11:57,308 --> 00:11:58,708
Speaker 6: with Aaron Rodgers, it's going to be nice.

278
00:11:58,748 --> 00:12:01,028
Speaker 2: Prediction week keeps us up at night, all right, as

279
00:12:01,068 --> 00:12:04,388
Speaker 2: does contract talks, I'm sure, especially if you're Ian Rappaport

280
00:12:04,588 --> 00:12:06,868
Speaker 2: rap sheet. Good morning to you, our NFL network insider

281
00:12:06,868 --> 00:12:08,268
Speaker 2: that is with us this morning.

282
00:12:08,388 --> 00:12:08,948
Speaker 3: Rap sheet.

283
00:12:09,068 --> 00:12:11,508
Speaker 2: MICHAEH Parsons, I could just say names at you at

284
00:12:11,548 --> 00:12:13,508
Speaker 2: this point and you have to trigger on just the

285
00:12:13,588 --> 00:12:16,468
Speaker 2: news and the commentary. But the head coach in Dallas

286
00:12:16,508 --> 00:12:19,908
Speaker 2: is saying that there is a possibility about Micae's availability

287
00:12:19,908 --> 00:12:20,428
Speaker 2: for week one.

288
00:12:20,468 --> 00:12:21,068
Speaker 3: What's this about?

289
00:12:21,548 --> 00:12:23,468
Speaker 8: First of all, that's most of my life. You say names,

290
00:12:23,508 --> 00:12:25,468
Speaker 8: I just fill in the news and just go. Which

291
00:12:25,548 --> 00:12:28,788
Speaker 8: is that's basically our segmentary. We've had a lot of

292
00:12:28,868 --> 00:12:31,748
Speaker 8: names this offseason. We've had Trey Henderson, We've had Terry McLaurin.

293
00:12:32,148 --> 00:12:35,428
Speaker 8: Check check Micah Parsons not check yet.

294
00:12:35,468 --> 00:12:35,668
Speaker 5: Yes.

295
00:12:35,708 --> 00:12:39,268
Speaker 8: Brian Schottenhamer, the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, still

296
00:12:39,308 --> 00:12:41,588
Speaker 8: expresses confidence Michael will be on the field for the

297
00:12:41,628 --> 00:12:42,788
Speaker 8: Cowboys week once.

298
00:12:42,788 --> 00:12:43,348
Speaker 9: It's not gonna be.

299
00:12:43,348 --> 00:12:45,508
Speaker 8: Sunday, it's going to be Thursday. They got the early game,

300
00:12:45,588 --> 00:12:49,148
Speaker 8: the kickoff for the Dallas Cowboys, which means the clock

301
00:12:49,308 --> 00:12:51,948
Speaker 8: is ticking. Parsons, you see him right there. That is

302
00:12:51,948 --> 00:12:54,388
Speaker 8: what he's been doing basically for most of our all

303
00:12:54,508 --> 00:12:56,988
Speaker 8: training camp. He has been watching. He has been nursing

304
00:12:57,268 --> 00:12:59,788
Speaker 8: a back injury. You know, he's been trying to get ready.

305
00:12:59,828 --> 00:13:02,508
Speaker 8: He has been wanting a new contract. The two sides

306
00:13:02,628 --> 00:13:06,428
Speaker 8: remain at an impass, but to hear Brian Schottenheimer express

307
00:13:06,628 --> 00:13:08,508
Speaker 8: confidence that a deal will get done at least make

308
00:13:08,588 --> 00:13:11,588
Speaker 8: you think that there is a possibility. Now, look, if

309
00:13:11,628 --> 00:13:15,188
Speaker 8: Micah was able to get a deal with the Dallas Cowboys,

310
00:13:15,508 --> 00:13:17,148
Speaker 8: and by the way, I should also mention that Micah

311
00:13:17,188 --> 00:13:19,228
Speaker 8: has requested a trade, remains to be seen. Whether or

312
00:13:19,268 --> 00:13:23,548
Speaker 8: not the Cowboys would even discuss that or think about that.

313
00:13:23,668 --> 00:13:25,508
Speaker 8: But if Micah does end up on the field, I

314
00:13:25,508 --> 00:13:27,188
Speaker 8: would expect there to be some sort of a ramp

315
00:13:27,268 --> 00:13:30,028
Speaker 8: up here. It probably wouldn't hit the ground running, probably

316
00:13:30,188 --> 00:13:32,988
Speaker 8: probably would not be his full compliment of snaps. But

317
00:13:33,108 --> 00:13:36,308
Speaker 8: the clock is ticking on that another player who lasts

318
00:13:36,308 --> 00:13:38,828
Speaker 8: for a trade. This was somewhat under the radar one

319
00:13:38,908 --> 00:13:41,548
Speaker 8: until about a day or so though. Kobe Myers, one

320
00:13:41,548 --> 00:13:43,588
Speaker 8: of the stand up receivers for the Las Vegas Raiders,

321
00:13:43,628 --> 00:13:46,468
Speaker 8: according to me and colleigue Tom Pelisero, requested that the

322
00:13:46,588 --> 00:13:47,828
Speaker 8: Raiders trade him.

323
00:13:48,188 --> 00:13:49,628
Speaker 5: I know there has been some interest.

324
00:13:49,668 --> 00:13:51,708
Speaker 8: I know there has been at least a team or

325
00:13:51,748 --> 00:13:55,388
Speaker 8: two calling. Myers have been in contract talks with the

326
00:13:55,468 --> 00:13:57,308
Speaker 8: Las Vegas Raiders try to get a new deal. They

327
00:13:57,308 --> 00:13:59,308
Speaker 8: were not able to come to terms on one. The

328
00:13:59,388 --> 00:14:02,588
Speaker 8: team does not plan to trade him, but we will

329
00:14:02,588 --> 00:14:05,908
Speaker 8: see if they come off that, especially because they signed

330
00:14:05,908 --> 00:14:07,708
Speaker 8: Amari Cooper over the last two days.

331
00:14:07,708 --> 00:14:09,348
Speaker 9: Cooper talking reporters.

332
00:14:08,948 --> 00:14:11,188
Speaker 8: He's got a lot of juice left in a reunion

333
00:14:11,268 --> 00:14:13,668
Speaker 8: with his former team, and then finally for.

334
00:14:13,628 --> 00:14:14,628
Speaker 9: The Taen Bay Buccaneers.

335
00:14:14,668 --> 00:14:16,788
Speaker 5: They got some you know, I would say expected, but.

336
00:14:16,788 --> 00:14:19,548
Speaker 8: Also some good injury news and a couple of their

337
00:14:19,588 --> 00:14:22,508
Speaker 8: better players, Chris Godwin who's been dealing with an ankle

338
00:14:22,588 --> 00:14:24,948
Speaker 8: injury and a couple surgeries, and Tristan Worth's doing the

339
00:14:25,028 --> 00:14:27,828
Speaker 8: knee injury. Both those guys past their physicals that were

340
00:14:27,828 --> 00:14:31,228
Speaker 8: activated off the pup list. Does not mean they're going

341
00:14:31,268 --> 00:14:32,628
Speaker 8: to be on the field for week one.

342
00:14:32,988 --> 00:14:34,748
Speaker 5: I would not expect either of these.

343
00:14:34,548 --> 00:14:36,548
Speaker 4: Players to be on the field for week one. But

344
00:14:36,588 --> 00:14:37,468
Speaker 4: what it does.

345
00:14:37,348 --> 00:14:39,748
Speaker 8: Mean is they could start to ramp up, start to

346
00:14:39,828 --> 00:14:42,988
Speaker 8: practice with the team, and hopefully play before Week four

347
00:14:43,028 --> 00:14:44,868
Speaker 8: when they would otherwise be sideline.

348
00:14:44,908 --> 00:14:47,948
Speaker 2: That's massive news for the Buccaneers rap sheet. As we

349
00:14:48,028 --> 00:14:50,628
Speaker 2: mentioned people drafting their fantasy teams, we're just looking at

350
00:14:50,628 --> 00:14:53,668
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers for a playoff team. Ian appreciate you, and

351
00:14:53,788 --> 00:14:55,828
Speaker 2: if any news comes up, just text me the name

352
00:14:55,868 --> 00:14:57,348
Speaker 2: of the person and I'll just throw it your way

353
00:14:57,348 --> 00:14:59,428
Speaker 2: and then we can start having this banter again about

354
00:14:59,428 --> 00:14:59,868
Speaker 2: the news.

355
00:15:00,068 --> 00:15:02,188
Speaker 3: See Laterian. You know what today is?

356
00:15:02,228 --> 00:15:05,908
Speaker 2: We have whiteboard markers erase? Is it most importantly the

357
00:15:05,988 --> 00:15:08,028
Speaker 2: work of art called the white board in front of us?

358
00:15:08,028 --> 00:15:10,148
Speaker 2: By board Wednesday, We're going to figure out the perfect

359
00:15:10,228 --> 00:15:14,988
Speaker 2: wedding gift for a recently engaged couple. We got albums

360
00:15:15,028 --> 00:15:17,268
Speaker 2: that we have to talk about, a spark for the team.

361
00:15:17,508 --> 00:15:19,908
Speaker 2: I know Manti is over there working on his artwork

362
00:15:19,948 --> 00:15:23,948
Speaker 2: as we speak. Plus Texans quarterback c. J. Stroud will

363
00:15:23,988 --> 00:15:26,068
Speaker 2: be joining us to talk about how he is feeling

364
00:15:26,108 --> 00:15:29,428
Speaker 2: heading into Week one. It was a fantastic conversation. We

365
00:15:29,508 --> 00:15:32,388
Speaker 2: did not ask him about that lovely woman sharing for

366
00:15:32,428 --> 00:15:34,828
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, although that is quite the topic in the

367
00:15:34,948 --> 00:15:37,948
Speaker 2: NFL today Taylor and Travis engaged. I would be remiss

368
00:15:38,028 --> 00:15:39,628
Speaker 2: not to get out of this first segment without saying

369
00:15:39,668 --> 00:15:40,748
Speaker 2: it's congratulations.

370
00:15:40,788 --> 00:15:42,548
Speaker 3: We'll be right back on Dampee.

371
00:15:51,308 --> 00:15:53,348
Speaker 10: Good football.

372
00:15:53,628 --> 00:15:56,188
Speaker 3: Why Forard Wednesday? This is where it's at.

373
00:15:56,188 --> 00:15:59,108
Speaker 2: There's three of us participating Oniteboard Wednesday, and Manti has

374
00:15:59,148 --> 00:16:02,428
Speaker 2: been feverishly working on his artwork since the commercial breaks.

375
00:16:02,548 --> 00:16:05,828
Speaker 2: Here we go Bears running back DeAndre Swift, Yes, it's happening.

376
00:16:06,268 --> 00:16:08,988
Speaker 2: Bears at running back de Andre Swis showed his explosiveness

377
00:16:09,028 --> 00:16:12,428
Speaker 2: during the team's final preseason game when he did a

378
00:16:12,948 --> 00:16:17,548
Speaker 2: forward facing Saekwon Barkley. He hurtle over a Chiefs defender,

379
00:16:17,588 --> 00:16:19,628
Speaker 2: stuck the landing, and got an extra five yards out

380
00:16:19,668 --> 00:16:21,548
Speaker 2: of it, which I guess is the qualifier for a

381
00:16:21,588 --> 00:16:24,388
Speaker 2: successful hurdle is making sure that you can land on

382
00:16:24,388 --> 00:16:25,228
Speaker 2: your feet and keep going.

383
00:16:25,428 --> 00:16:27,468
Speaker 3: This impressed his head coach Ben Johnson.

384
00:16:27,668 --> 00:16:29,708
Speaker 10: He's got that ability to be a spark for us,

385
00:16:29,748 --> 00:16:32,188
Speaker 10: and I've known that for years about the guy. I mean,

386
00:16:32,228 --> 00:16:36,548
Speaker 10: he's particularly when we're a little bit stale coming out

387
00:16:36,588 --> 00:16:38,828
Speaker 10: of the gate, he wants to be that guy to

388
00:16:38,828 --> 00:16:40,548
Speaker 10: get us back on track. And I think that's what

389
00:16:40,588 --> 00:16:43,148
Speaker 10: the good running backs do in this league, is their

390
00:16:43,148 --> 00:16:45,188
Speaker 10: teammates will feed off of them. All it takes is

391
00:16:45,228 --> 00:16:46,828
Speaker 10: for one big play. I mean, he had the hurdle

392
00:16:46,868 --> 00:16:48,628
Speaker 10: on the sideline and I thought that was a good

393
00:16:48,668 --> 00:16:51,988
Speaker 10: thing to see and so explosive player. Want to get

394
00:16:51,988 --> 00:16:53,708
Speaker 10: the ball in his hands with some space as much

395
00:16:53,748 --> 00:16:54,668
Speaker 10: as we possibly can.

396
00:16:55,668 --> 00:16:57,468
Speaker 2: All Right, he has the ability to be that spark

397
00:16:57,508 --> 00:16:58,108
Speaker 2: for the Bears.

398
00:16:58,108 --> 00:16:58,788
Speaker 3: Here's the question.

399
00:16:58,908 --> 00:17:01,028
Speaker 2: Look at all the other thirty one teams, man TI,

400
00:17:01,068 --> 00:17:03,308
Speaker 2: who needs to be the ultimate spark for their team

401
00:17:03,428 --> 00:17:04,028
Speaker 2: this season?

402
00:17:04,548 --> 00:17:07,028
Speaker 6: Well, the ultimate spark's got to be this guy. And guys,

403
00:17:07,028 --> 00:17:08,908
Speaker 6: forgive me, I don't have my drawing. I try to

404
00:17:08,948 --> 00:17:11,668
Speaker 6: draw that Houston Texan You on you how hard it

405
00:17:11,708 --> 00:17:13,308
Speaker 6: is to draw that bull on this thing?

406
00:17:13,588 --> 00:17:15,388
Speaker 4: So I got Nick Chubb. How can you not root

407
00:17:15,428 --> 00:17:15,948
Speaker 4: for this guy?

408
00:17:16,308 --> 00:17:19,028
Speaker 6: Like this is a guy who, throughout his career has

409
00:17:19,108 --> 00:17:22,068
Speaker 6: done nothing but produced, has done nothing but be an

410
00:17:22,148 --> 00:17:24,548
Speaker 6: asset to his football team. And if you're looking at

411
00:17:24,588 --> 00:17:26,868
Speaker 6: the Houston Texans, you know that they struggled a little

412
00:17:26,908 --> 00:17:29,428
Speaker 6: bit with their pass pro And what better way to

413
00:17:29,588 --> 00:17:32,028
Speaker 6: help a pass protection than to run the ball. And

414
00:17:32,108 --> 00:17:34,228
Speaker 6: I can't think of anybody that's better than running the

415
00:17:34,228 --> 00:17:36,708
Speaker 6: ball than this man right here, Nick Chubb. Now we

416
00:17:36,868 --> 00:17:38,908
Speaker 6: just found out that Joe Mixon will be out for

417
00:17:38,948 --> 00:17:41,308
Speaker 6: at least the first four weeks of the season, So

418
00:17:41,348 --> 00:17:43,068
Speaker 6: you know that Nick Chubb is going to be getting

419
00:17:43,068 --> 00:17:45,468
Speaker 6: the rock a lot over there for the Houston Texans.

420
00:17:45,468 --> 00:17:48,508
Speaker 6: And if I am the if I'm the Houston Texas,

421
00:17:48,548 --> 00:17:50,308
Speaker 6: I'm happy that I'm handing the ball off to now

422
00:17:50,388 --> 00:17:53,508
Speaker 6: number twenty one used to be twenty four, and I'm

423
00:17:53,548 --> 00:17:55,268
Speaker 6: expecting him to do a lot of great things for

424
00:17:55,268 --> 00:17:55,948
Speaker 6: the Houston Texas.

425
00:17:55,948 --> 00:17:57,508
Speaker 4: So I got Nick Chubb. Nick Chubb's going to be

426
00:17:57,548 --> 00:17:58,748
Speaker 4: that spark going Nick Chubb.

427
00:17:58,748 --> 00:18:01,228
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm mis stick with the running backs here. Okay,

428
00:18:01,228 --> 00:18:02,628
Speaker 5: I'm stick with the running backs, but I'm gonna take

429
00:18:02,668 --> 00:18:06,668
Speaker 5: you out to the northeast side East Fallely. Okay, we're

430
00:18:06,708 --> 00:18:09,028
Speaker 5: gonna go out there to New England country.

431
00:18:09,228 --> 00:18:10,388
Speaker 4: Traveon Henderson.

432
00:18:10,548 --> 00:18:13,388
Speaker 5: Yes, Trevon Henderson needs to be that spark for the

433
00:18:13,428 --> 00:18:15,948
Speaker 5: New England Patriots. Why we see what he did in

434
00:18:15,948 --> 00:18:18,308
Speaker 5: the preseason. We see him return the kickoff return, we

435
00:18:18,388 --> 00:18:21,308
Speaker 5: see him tote the brock on the ground. But why

436
00:18:21,348 --> 00:18:23,428
Speaker 5: do I want him to be the spark? Well, because

437
00:18:23,468 --> 00:18:26,108
Speaker 5: he has a defensive minded coach and we know that

438
00:18:26,188 --> 00:18:29,028
Speaker 5: Mike Brabel his defense is going to be Mike Nasty.

439
00:18:29,068 --> 00:18:30,588
Speaker 5: Those guys are going to be solid, They're going to

440
00:18:30,628 --> 00:18:33,348
Speaker 5: take the ball away. And one thing about defensive minded

441
00:18:33,388 --> 00:18:36,468
Speaker 5: coaches is they want to control the time of possession.

442
00:18:36,468 --> 00:18:38,668
Speaker 5: And the best way that you control time of possession

443
00:18:38,988 --> 00:18:41,948
Speaker 5: but by toting that rock. So I think that Treveon

444
00:18:42,068 --> 00:18:45,188
Speaker 5: Henderson will be that spark. Added with vermondre Stevenson in

445
00:18:45,188 --> 00:18:47,228
Speaker 5: that backfield, he's going to be a great asset for

446
00:18:47,228 --> 00:18:48,188
Speaker 5: the New England Patriots.

447
00:18:48,308 --> 00:18:50,988
Speaker 2: Spark, I think is a better way to say, like, oh,

448
00:18:51,028 --> 00:18:53,028
Speaker 2: does this guy have a chip on his shoulder? Which

449
00:18:53,068 --> 00:18:55,828
Speaker 2: is a phrase I hate in the NFL, like it

450
00:18:55,868 --> 00:18:58,228
Speaker 2: seems like everybody has it. You always have this, but

451
00:18:58,348 --> 00:19:01,588
Speaker 2: some guys are actually allowed to be angry about how

452
00:19:01,628 --> 00:19:03,908
Speaker 2: the offseason win things that were dealt their way. And

453
00:19:03,948 --> 00:19:06,548
Speaker 2: this is how I feel about Cooper Cup being in Seattle.

454
00:19:06,828 --> 00:19:10,068
Speaker 2: If Cooper Cup, you are entitled, I give you this permission,

455
00:19:10,068 --> 00:19:12,988
Speaker 2: probably to the world's nicest man, to be angry about

456
00:19:13,028 --> 00:19:14,588
Speaker 2: what happened to you this offseason.

457
00:19:14,748 --> 00:19:16,628
Speaker 3: And if you want to be so angry that you go.

458
00:19:16,628 --> 00:19:19,428
Speaker 2: To your quarterback, who also could feel like, you know

459
00:19:19,468 --> 00:19:20,868
Speaker 2: what was was I.

460
00:19:20,908 --> 00:19:22,428
Speaker 3: Do some money in Minnesota.

461
00:19:22,508 --> 00:19:24,788
Speaker 2: Whether or not you agree with whether Sam Darnold should

462
00:19:24,788 --> 00:19:26,268
Speaker 2: be in Minnesota or Cooper Cup should be.

463
00:19:26,308 --> 00:19:29,388
Speaker 3: With the La Rams, they're not. They're in Seattle now, and.

464
00:19:29,708 --> 00:19:32,308
Speaker 2: Two of just what appears to be the sweetest personalities

465
00:19:32,308 --> 00:19:34,748
Speaker 2: in the NFL can come together and be angry and

466
00:19:34,788 --> 00:19:37,908
Speaker 2: be that spark for the Seahawks to maybe, I don't know,

467
00:19:37,988 --> 00:19:39,428
Speaker 2: take over a top spot.

468
00:19:39,148 --> 00:19:41,628
Speaker 3: In the NFC. WES WES. I think you can, and

469
00:19:41,668 --> 00:19:43,108
Speaker 3: I think you're allowed to feel that way.

470
00:19:43,188 --> 00:19:45,508
Speaker 2: So be the spark in the form of I'm annoyed

471
00:19:45,508 --> 00:19:47,388
Speaker 2: about what happened to me the sofseason and I got

472
00:19:47,468 --> 00:19:49,988
Speaker 2: dealt in for some other, you know, wide receiver that

473
00:19:50,028 --> 00:19:52,868
Speaker 2: was in the room, so a lot of Cooper cut

474
00:19:53,588 --> 00:19:57,068
Speaker 2: the back at the crib, all right. Yesterday we discussed

475
00:19:57,148 --> 00:19:59,988
Speaker 2: Terry McLaurin agreeing to his new contract with the Commanders,

476
00:20:00,308 --> 00:20:02,348
Speaker 2: and Kyle made this parallel for us.

477
00:20:03,268 --> 00:20:08,388
Speaker 1: Well, maybe debou zach Ertz. Listen, Deebo, you're gonna do

478
00:20:08,428 --> 00:20:10,948
Speaker 1: big things this year. I have huge respect for zach Ertz.

479
00:20:11,348 --> 00:20:14,828
Speaker 1: That is a drummer and a bassist. You need the

480
00:20:14,948 --> 00:20:19,308
Speaker 1: lead guitarist. You need someone to shred on lead guitar

481
00:20:19,748 --> 00:20:22,188
Speaker 1: against number one corners and great defenses.

482
00:20:22,468 --> 00:20:24,228
Speaker 5: And that was not Deebo or Ertz.

483
00:20:24,308 --> 00:20:26,828
Speaker 1: That is a Terry McLaurin deal with Jayden being the

484
00:20:26,908 --> 00:20:27,508
Speaker 1: lead singer.

485
00:20:27,868 --> 00:20:30,268
Speaker 3: The band is back together, all right, The band is

486
00:20:30,308 --> 00:20:30,788
Speaker 3: back together.

487
00:20:30,868 --> 00:20:33,908
Speaker 2: Our whiteboard Wednesday question for the Commanders is this Mansai

488
00:20:34,028 --> 00:20:38,268
Speaker 2: pick a musical artist or band or soundtrack that should

489
00:20:38,308 --> 00:20:41,668
Speaker 2: be the title for the Commanders this upcoming twenty twenty

490
00:20:41,708 --> 00:20:42,148
Speaker 2: five seasons.

491
00:20:42,188 --> 00:20:43,868
Speaker 6: Well, Jamie, I did choose an artist, and he's one

492
00:20:43,908 --> 00:20:46,828
Speaker 6: of the greatest artists of all time. Eminem and I

493
00:20:46,908 --> 00:20:49,988
Speaker 6: put a specific song. Guys, it's without me.

494
00:20:50,228 --> 00:20:51,788
Speaker 4: Okay, And I don't know if you can see that,

495
00:20:51,868 --> 00:20:52,708
Speaker 4: but guess.

496
00:20:52,548 --> 00:20:57,028
Speaker 6: Who's back back back, back again, gant again, Terry's back,

497
00:20:57,228 --> 00:21:00,388
Speaker 6: back back, Tell a friend, like, tell everybody, guys, the

498
00:21:00,468 --> 00:21:01,028
Speaker 6: guy's back.

Speaker 4: I know you have a whole bunch of new weapons.

00:21:03,388 --> 00:21:05,628
Speaker 6: You have dee Bow, yeah, Von Miller, all of those

501
00:21:05,668 --> 00:21:09,468
Speaker 6: great things. But guys, it wouldn't be the same if

502
00:21:09,468 --> 00:21:11,308
Speaker 6: it wasn't for this guy. And I think that when

503
00:21:11,468 --> 00:21:14,148
Speaker 6: when he signed, I heard another line in that song

504
00:21:14,188 --> 00:21:16,508
Speaker 6: where he says, now, this looks.

505
00:21:16,308 --> 00:21:17,228
Speaker 4: Like the job for me.

506
00:21:17,468 --> 00:21:20,148
Speaker 6: Now, everybody just following me because we need a little

507
00:21:20,308 --> 00:21:23,388
Speaker 6: controversy because it feels so empty without me. Like that's

508
00:21:23,428 --> 00:21:25,748
Speaker 6: scary Terry. I got scary Terry. He's gonna be He's

509
00:21:25,748 --> 00:21:26,508

510
00:21:26,828 --> 00:21:29,148
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm an Eminem fan, I'm a minem fan. But

515
00:21:47,628 --> 00:21:52,468
Speaker 5: Can't tain't nothing for you anyway. They the Washington commanders, okay,

516
00:21:52,468 --> 00:21:55,028
Speaker 5: the washingt Commanders to put everybody up on notice last year,

517
00:21:55,228 --> 00:21:57,548
Speaker 5: and now they are knocking at everybody's door, and they're

518
00:21:57,588 --> 00:22:00,268
Speaker 5: letting everybody know I'm coming for you, and you guys

519
00:22:00,308 --> 00:22:02,828
Speaker 5: know who I am now right, and I'm about that business.

520
00:22:02,908 --> 00:22:04,268
Speaker 5: You guys got to see us, and you guys got

521
00:22:04,308 --> 00:22:05,068
Speaker 5: the deal with us.

522
00:22:05,348 --> 00:22:06,028
Speaker 4: X is coming for you.

523
00:22:06,068 --> 00:22:07,468
Speaker 5: That's what the Commanders had to be listening to.

524
00:22:07,508 --> 00:22:07,868
Speaker 4: This year.

525
00:22:08,308 --> 00:22:11,548
Speaker 2: I went with an actual soundtrack and from eminem to

526
00:22:11,868 --> 00:22:13,868
Speaker 2: DMX to Wicked.

527
00:22:17,148 --> 00:22:19,828
Speaker 3: No, but listen, listen to me. The logic is sound here.

528
00:22:19,908 --> 00:22:22,468
Speaker 2: Okay, So if you think of the team name that

529
00:22:22,508 --> 00:22:25,948
Speaker 2: we originally know from Washington, that's like the Wizard of Oz.

530
00:22:26,028 --> 00:22:27,628
Speaker 3: Okay, that that is the film that.

531
00:22:27,588 --> 00:22:30,588
Speaker 2: We all know, and there's a bunch of different stories

532
00:22:30,588 --> 00:22:33,548
Speaker 2: of it in the film that's ever Wicked on Broadway

533
00:22:33,708 --> 00:22:36,028
Speaker 2: is like the Washington football team era Wicked.

534
00:22:36,108 --> 00:22:38,068
Speaker 3: The movie is the Commanders.

535
00:22:38,108 --> 00:22:41,388
Speaker 2: And this soundtrack with Cynthia Rivo and Ariana Grande is

536
00:22:41,388 --> 00:22:43,348
Speaker 2: that like Deebo Samuel and Terry McLaurin.

537
00:22:43,428 --> 00:22:44,428
Speaker 3: Like you might have a.

538
00:22:44,428 --> 00:22:47,948
Speaker 2: Preference as to who your favorite singer is on the soundtrack,

539
00:22:48,188 --> 00:22:50,828
Speaker 2: but your quarterback is one of the most popular in

540
00:22:50,868 --> 00:22:54,188
Speaker 2: the NFL. And if you guys can't get to number one,

541
00:22:54,468 --> 00:22:56,788
Speaker 2: then I don't know what we're doing here Wicked the

542
00:22:56,828 --> 00:22:58,748
Speaker 2: movie soundtrack compared to eminem and DMX.

543
00:22:58,748 --> 00:23:01,428
Speaker 3: That's why Whitebird Wednesday is yes very much with you,

544
00:23:01,468 --> 00:23:06,388
Speaker 3: thank you? Oh absolutely, Max, absolutely all right. Come on,

545
00:23:06,468 --> 00:23:08,308
Speaker 3: Taylor Swifts and Travis Kelsey are engaged.

546
00:23:08,428 --> 00:23:10,108
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna give it a pause for anybody who

547
00:23:10,148 --> 00:23:12,588
Speaker 2: wants to change their channel since people get real fired

548
00:23:12,668 --> 00:23:15,668
Speaker 2: up about this topic. Okay, here's the question for Whiteboard Wednesday.

549
00:23:15,788 --> 00:23:19,228
Speaker 2: We wedding present? Are you guys getting Taylor and Travis

550
00:23:19,428 --> 00:23:20,148
Speaker 2: wedding present?

551
00:23:20,228 --> 00:23:21,308
Speaker 3: They're just engaged, But.

552
00:23:21,268 --> 00:23:24,108
Speaker 2: Now you've got some time to come up with an idea.

553
00:23:24,148 --> 00:23:25,228
Speaker 3: Manti, I forget that.

554
00:23:25,188 --> 00:23:26,828
Speaker 4: Oh man, I mean what this?

555
00:23:26,948 --> 00:23:29,948
Speaker 6: I struggle with this question, guys. I mean, what do

556
00:23:29,988 --> 00:23:32,348
Speaker 6: you get somebody? There's one thing that there's one thing

557
00:23:32,348 --> 00:23:36,668
Speaker 6: to buy somebody, a gift that can buy basically everything,

558
00:23:36,748 --> 00:23:38,788
Speaker 6: like they probably could buy an island. And so I'm

559
00:23:38,828 --> 00:23:40,628
Speaker 6: just like, what would I get you. I can't get

560
00:23:40,668 --> 00:23:42,708
Speaker 6: you like a gift card to H and M or

561
00:23:42,748 --> 00:23:44,428
Speaker 6: anything like, they're just gonna laugh at me.

562
00:23:44,628 --> 00:23:47,828
Speaker 4: And so I thought of the perfect gift. Succulent.

563
00:23:48,428 --> 00:23:51,068
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm gonna get you a succulent. I don't know

564
00:23:51,068 --> 00:23:52,268
Speaker 6: if I don't know if they're gonna be.

565
00:23:52,228 --> 00:23:54,348
Speaker 4: The Kelsey's or the Swifts. I don't know what your

566
00:23:54,428 --> 00:23:55,468
Speaker 4: last name is, but I know.

567
00:23:55,388 --> 00:23:58,228
Speaker 6: You guys got a whole bunch of houses everywhere, and

568
00:23:58,268 --> 00:23:59,668
Speaker 6: I want to give you a type of gift that

569
00:23:59,748 --> 00:24:02,508
Speaker 6: when I come to your house, it's in the same

570
00:24:02,708 --> 00:24:04,628
Speaker 6: it's in the same shape that.

571
00:24:04,628 --> 00:24:06,028
Speaker 4: I gave it to you. And like if I gave

572
00:24:06,028 --> 00:24:06,908
Speaker 4: you an actual life.

573
00:24:06,788 --> 00:24:08,908
Speaker 6: Plan and I came because I know they're traveling a lot,

574
00:24:09,228 --> 00:24:11,308
Speaker 6: they're rarely home, they're doing your thing.

575
00:24:11,348 --> 00:24:13,468
Speaker 4: If I ever came over to their house and I saw.

576
00:24:13,348 --> 00:24:15,108
Speaker 6: I gave them to a life plan and it was dead,

577
00:24:15,148 --> 00:24:18,308
Speaker 6: I'd be like, ah, it's one of those things. At

578
00:24:18,388 --> 00:24:20,468
Speaker 6: least with the succulent, I know it's going to be

579
00:24:20,548 --> 00:24:21,148
Speaker 6: good for a long time.

580
00:24:21,148 --> 00:24:23,948
Speaker 2: Suculents are also like good for cats, which like she has,

581
00:24:24,188 --> 00:24:27,188
Speaker 2: and she could probably name the succulent, which is very

582
00:24:27,188 --> 00:24:28,028
Speaker 2: popular things.

583
00:24:29,628 --> 00:24:31,148
Speaker 3: I think that tracks that'd be a good one. Isaiah,

584

Speaker 2: I feel like that picture is just can be back

00:25:24,228 --> 00:25:28,148
Speaker 2: to women's health class. All right, So you said that

608
00:25:28,228 --> 00:25:29,628
Speaker 2: they have a lot of money and they have a

609
00:25:29,628 --> 00:25:32,388
Speaker 2: lot of houses. Isaiah, don't erase that, please, I need

610
00:25:32,428 --> 00:25:32,788
Speaker 2: to take.

611
00:25:32,628 --> 00:25:33,148
Speaker 5: A picture of it.

612
00:25:33,948 --> 00:25:36,948
Speaker 3: Come mom. They have a lot of money.

613
00:25:36,948 --> 00:25:38,868
Speaker 2: They have houses Blody Body blog, which means they have

614
00:25:38,908 --> 00:25:40,388
Speaker 2: a lot of rooms, say at the fill. So I'm

615
00:25:40,388 --> 00:25:44,108
Speaker 2: going to help decorate. And the song that Taylor's swift

616
00:25:44,108 --> 00:25:46,828
Speaker 2: attached to the picture of the engagement was that so

617
00:25:46,988 --> 00:25:49,188
Speaker 2: high school and in the line, and then also the

618
00:25:49,908 --> 00:25:53,228
Speaker 2: description of the engagement is your English teacher is marrying

619
00:25:53,228 --> 00:25:55,548
Speaker 2: your gym teacher, which some people took issue with, but

620
00:25:55,588 --> 00:25:58,348
Speaker 2: I loved it specifically. So I am going to get

621
00:25:58,348 --> 00:26:01,028
Speaker 2: them the works of Aristotle for one side of the bed,

622
00:26:01,108 --> 00:26:03,028
Speaker 2: and then whatever book that I can come across that

623
00:26:03,068 --> 00:26:05,588
Speaker 2: has Bros Pros in it, because I feel like, just

624
00:26:05,628 --> 00:26:08,588
Speaker 2: to balance out what we got going on here. She

625
00:26:08,828 --> 00:26:12,428
Speaker 2: says that you know Ball, I know Aristotle. Sounds like

626
00:26:12,468 --> 00:26:15,108
Speaker 2: Travis Kelson needs to get to know Aristotle, and she's got.

627
00:26:15,028 --> 00:26:17,028

Speaker 2: And we're just going to make sure everybody is well read.

633
00:26:27,788 --> 00:26:30,188
Speaker 3: Since he knows Ball and she knows Aristotle.

634
00:26:30,228 --> 00:26:32,148
Speaker 2: But if you're married, you've got to be interested in

635
00:26:32,188 --> 00:26:33,228
Speaker 2: the other person's stuff.

636
00:26:33,388 --> 00:26:36,428
Speaker 3: So that's what we're going to get.

637
00:26:36,148 --> 00:26:38,068
Speaker 5: Do you want to put that next to next to this?

638
00:26:38,348 --> 00:26:40,268
Speaker 2: I mean, if you just took the words IV war

639
00:26:40,308 --> 00:26:44,028
Speaker 2: off of it, I could write a lot of different topics, James.

640
00:26:43,828 --> 00:26:45,668
Speaker 6: That's that says a lot about you, Jane, because I

641
00:26:45,708 --> 00:26:47,708
Speaker 6: thought that was like one of those old school scales.

642
00:26:48,148 --> 00:26:55,308
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, Well I open a textbook in seventh

645
00:27:00,548 --> 00:27:04,228
Speaker 11: The quarterback battle in New Orleans is decided. Spencer Rattler

646
00:27:04,268 --> 00:27:07,188
Speaker 11: and rookie Tyler Shall competed for the position since the

647
00:27:07,228 --> 00:27:10,468
Speaker 11: start of training camp, but finally first year head coach

648
00:27:10,548 --> 00:27:12,148
Speaker 11: Kellen Moore made his decision.

649
00:27:13,068 --> 00:27:16,148
Speaker 12: Spencer Ratlers are starring quarterback. Really really excited for him.

650
00:27:16,428 --> 00:27:19,628
Speaker 12: He's done awesome job this offseason. So he's just been consistent.

651
00:27:19,828 --> 00:27:23,148
Speaker 12: He's made some really good decisions throughout this whole entire process,

652
00:27:23,188 --> 00:27:25,348
Speaker 12: and you know, his ability to make plays with his

653
00:27:25,428 --> 00:27:27,388
Speaker 12: arm and his feet have certainly shown up. And so

654
00:27:27,748 --> 00:27:29,988
Speaker 12: I'm really really excited about Spentry. He's earned this opportunity.

655
00:27:30,148 --> 00:27:31,788
Speaker 12: Is he going to do a tremendous job for us.

Speaker 2: Stroud is only entering his third season in the NFL.

Speaker 2: Wasn't too long ago he was winning NFL Offensive Rookie

00:28:41,868 --> 00:28:44,548

Speaker 2: in the AFC South, and then some playoff appearances have

678
00:28:47,508 --> 00:28:50,268
Speaker 2: happened for this young quarterback, and now he wishes to

679
00:28:50,308 --> 00:28:54,028
Speaker 2: push them beyond. I'm sure in January every single season

680
00:28:54,268 --> 00:28:56,748
Speaker 2: he's joining us now on Good Morning Football. What's up,

681

685
00:29:11,308 --> 00:29:13,908
Speaker 2: bar this season. But until then, let's talk about what's

686
00:29:13,948 --> 00:29:15,828
Speaker 2: happening for all of us in just over a week,

687
00:29:15,868 --> 00:29:18,348
Speaker 2: which is the regular season for the NFL.

688
00:29:18,508 --> 00:29:19,988
Speaker 3: It just tastes so sweet.

689
00:29:20,268 --> 00:29:22,468
Speaker 2: What does it feel like for you to return once

690
00:29:22,508 --> 00:29:25,748
Speaker 2: again to game action, regular season action, and put a

691
00:29:25,788 --> 00:29:27,308
Speaker 2: stamp on your next year.

692
00:29:27,188 --> 00:29:27,788
Speaker 3: In the league.

693
00:29:28,028 --> 00:29:29,188
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, it's excited. Man.

694
00:29:29,428 --> 00:29:31,908
Speaker 13: I'm very blessed and honor to, you know, be in

695
00:29:31,948 --> 00:29:34,948
Speaker 13: the NFL. I always try to slow myself down after

696
00:29:35,068 --> 00:29:37,228
Speaker 13: camp just to realize like how much of a blessing

697
00:29:37,228 --> 00:29:41,388
Speaker 13: it is to put on the logo and the jersey

698
00:29:41,468 --> 00:29:44,148
Speaker 13: and have bus rides and all these different things. So

699
00:29:44,188 --> 00:29:48,308
Speaker 13: I'm just really grateful. But also, you know, just another

700
00:29:48,428 --> 00:29:51,508
Speaker 13: chance to you know, show my talent and show you know,

701
00:29:51,588 --> 00:29:53,228
Speaker 13: our team, and you know the work that we put

702
00:29:53,268 --> 00:29:53,748
Speaker 13: in camp.

703
00:29:53,828 --> 00:29:55,388
Speaker 9: So it's all excited.

704
00:29:55,428 --> 00:29:55,588
Speaker 12: Man.

705
00:29:55,788 --> 00:29:57,588
Speaker 13: I know everybody in the world is trying to do

706
00:29:57,628 --> 00:30:00,508
Speaker 13: fantasy football and stuff, but I'm to play.

707
00:30:01,068 --> 00:30:01,268
Speaker 5: Yeah.

708
00:30:01,308 --> 00:30:02,708
Speaker 6: See, can you talk about the work that you put

709
00:30:02,788 --> 00:30:05,228
Speaker 6: in training camp? Talk a little bit about that defense.

710
00:30:05,268 --> 00:30:07,548
Speaker 6: I love the defense that you have over there, that front,

711
00:30:07,868 --> 00:30:10,548
Speaker 6: that rush, Like, tell us a little bit about what is.

712
00:30:10,548 --> 00:30:12,388
Speaker 4: To come for this season defensively.

713
00:30:12,908 --> 00:30:15,388
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, I think it starts up front with

714
00:30:15,428 --> 00:30:16,068
Speaker 9: the D line.

715
00:30:16,508 --> 00:30:19,748
Speaker 13: I think willing denil, you know, are the staple points

716
00:30:19,788 --> 00:30:22,748
Speaker 13: to our defense, you know, setting the edge, brushing the passer,

717
00:30:23,148 --> 00:30:25,308
Speaker 13: and then you know disease, you know, leading those guys

718
00:30:26,228 --> 00:30:26,788
Speaker 13: in the middle.

719
00:30:27,068 --> 00:30:28,148
Speaker 9: He does a great job.

720
00:30:27,988 --> 00:30:32,268
Speaker 13: Of communication and swarming, tackling, playing fast. And then you

721
00:30:32,348 --> 00:30:35,068
Speaker 13: got you know the young assassins of what I call him,

722
00:30:36,308 --> 00:30:40,588
Speaker 13: Kaitlyn Bullock. You got CD back there, stein Lee Kamari.

723
00:30:41,348 --> 00:30:43,868
Speaker 13: So they swarm together. Man, it's like a it's like

724
00:30:43,868 --> 00:30:46,028
Speaker 13: a bee high. They just they overwhelm you. They get

725
00:30:46,108 --> 00:30:48,828
Speaker 13: upon you and they attack you. So I think they

726
00:30:48,908 --> 00:30:49,628
Speaker 13: do a great job.

727
00:30:49,988 --> 00:30:50,148
Speaker 5: Man.

728
00:30:50,268 --> 00:30:50,548
Speaker 4: CJ.

729
00:30:50,708 --> 00:30:53,028
Speaker 5: Last year, Broy, you had all three of your top

730
00:30:53,068 --> 00:30:55,148
Speaker 5: dogs a receiver go down at some point in time.

731
00:30:55,348 --> 00:30:58,308
Speaker 5: You had Stefan Diggs, Tank Dial, Nico Collins. All three

732
00:30:58,308 --> 00:31:00,748
Speaker 5: of those guys went down. Nick Caserroo, your GM went

733
00:31:00,748 --> 00:31:02,588
Speaker 5: out there and said, Okay, I'm gonna raise the bar.

734
00:31:02,628 --> 00:31:04,748
Speaker 5: I'm gonna make sure that if that happens again, we

735
00:31:04,788 --> 00:31:06,868
Speaker 5: have backups. We got two draft picks in the top

736
00:31:06,868 --> 00:31:09,268
Speaker 5: three rounds. We got three guys at the veteran position

737
00:31:09,508 --> 00:31:12,588
Speaker 5: loaded up that room. How did that experience challenge you

738
00:31:12,668 --> 00:31:15,148
Speaker 5: mentally last year, losing all of your guys and how

739
00:31:15,148 --> 00:31:17,148
Speaker 5: did that change your preparation for this offseason?

740
00:31:17,388 --> 00:31:19,508
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean it forces you to stay, you know,

741
00:31:20,508 --> 00:31:23,548
Speaker 13: really content with you know, whatever's in front of you.

742
00:31:23,548 --> 00:31:26,668
Speaker 13: You can always say what if, or have these ideas

743
00:31:26,708 --> 00:31:28,628
Speaker 13: on I could have did this or that, But at

744
00:31:28,628 --> 00:31:29,868
Speaker 13: the end of the day, whatever is in front of you,

745
00:31:29,948 --> 00:31:33,028
Speaker 13: whatever the cars you have, you have to play. So

746
00:31:33,108 --> 00:31:35,948
Speaker 13: I thought we did a great job of just really

747
00:31:36,148 --> 00:31:40,068
Speaker 13: staying down and working hard through the hard times. I

748
00:31:40,068 --> 00:31:42,268
Speaker 13: think there's adversity through every season, So I think the

749
00:31:42,308 --> 00:31:44,228
Speaker 13: testament of a team is what do you do when

750
00:31:44,268 --> 00:31:46,868
Speaker 13: you get that adversity and I think we competed man

751
00:31:47,108 --> 00:31:50,188
Speaker 13: even though it wasn't perfect. We didn't win games by

752
00:31:50,308 --> 00:31:52,348
Speaker 13: a wide margin a bunch, but at the same time,

753
00:31:52,388 --> 00:31:55,068
Speaker 13: we competed against every team. We never laid down, We

754
00:31:55,108 --> 00:31:57,868
Speaker 13: never felt bad for ourselves. So that's something that I learned,

755
00:31:57,908 --> 00:31:59,948
Speaker 13: and when I prepared in the off season was just

756
00:32:00,268 --> 00:32:02,148
Speaker 13: what can I do to make it better for my

757
00:32:02,228 --> 00:32:07,068
Speaker 13: guys running routes and the communication pieces on routes, And

758
00:32:07,188 --> 00:32:08,668
Speaker 13: you know, we've had a lot of meetings and this

759
00:32:08,868 --> 00:32:11,468
Speaker 13: with the whole group on hey we see this look,

760
00:32:11,548 --> 00:32:13,628
Speaker 13: do this or they this looks. I think, you know,

761
00:32:13,628 --> 00:32:16,268
Speaker 13: a little of that was missing last year. So I'm

762
00:32:16,388 --> 00:32:18,948
Speaker 13: very very excited just you know, not like you said,

763
00:32:18,988 --> 00:32:21,148
Speaker 13: we have depth, but you know, also you know, we

764
00:32:21,228 --> 00:32:23,188
Speaker 13: brought some pieces it up on the whole line, and

765
00:32:23,348 --> 00:32:25,228
Speaker 13: our scheme is a lot different. You know, we were

766
00:32:25,228 --> 00:32:28,028
Speaker 13: helping those guys out up front. We're running the ball,

767
00:32:28,508 --> 00:32:30,988
Speaker 13: play action and moving the pocket and things like that.

768
00:32:31,068 --> 00:32:34,108
Speaker 13: So I think we're doing a great job of having

769
00:32:34,148 --> 00:32:34,868
Speaker 13: balance this year.

770
00:32:35,308 --> 00:32:36,268
Speaker 3: So we can't wait to see that.

771
00:32:36,348 --> 00:32:37,468
Speaker 4: TJ. It feels like you guys.

772
00:32:37,348 --> 00:32:39,068
Speaker 3: Are just really scratching the surface.

773
00:32:39,148 --> 00:32:41,788
Speaker 11: But how do you feel like maybe almost being under

774
00:32:41,828 --> 00:32:43,748
Speaker 11: the radar, if you feel like that's a fair way

775
00:32:43,748 --> 00:32:45,868
Speaker 11: to describe you. Guys, this offseason is going to help

776
00:32:45,908 --> 00:32:46,628
Speaker 11: you this season.

777
00:32:47,788 --> 00:32:50,628
Speaker 13: I honestly really don't care what people think we are.

778
00:32:51,748 --> 00:32:55,068
Speaker 13: They people always have opinions, you know, and they're they're

779
00:32:55,228 --> 00:32:56,868
Speaker 13: entitled to their own. But at the same time, we

780
00:32:56,908 --> 00:32:59,388
Speaker 13: know we can do I think, uh, the NFL knows,

781
00:32:59,668 --> 00:33:01,668
Speaker 13: and if they don't, it's okay, Like it doesn't matter

782
00:33:01,708 --> 00:33:02,148
Speaker 13: at the day.

783
00:33:02,148 --> 00:33:02,828
Speaker 9: We got to go play.

784
00:33:02,908 --> 00:33:06,108
Speaker 13: So you know, I'm excited just to you know, be

785
00:33:06,188 --> 00:33:09,428
Speaker 13: able to showcase our talent and what we've been putting

786
00:33:09,468 --> 00:33:11,348
Speaker 13: in practice, and I think, you know, we've done a

787
00:33:11,348 --> 00:33:14,068
Speaker 13: good job. By the attitude of life, it doesn't really matter.

788
00:33:14,788 --> 00:33:19,148
Speaker 13: This isn't my first time, our other players on our team,

789
00:33:19,268 --> 00:33:22,508
Speaker 13: our team in general, the Texans as being counted out,

790
00:33:22,628 --> 00:33:24,228
Speaker 13: so it doesn't matter in the day.

791
00:33:24,228 --> 00:33:26,508
Speaker 9: You got to go play. So we're just excited to play.

792
00:33:26,588 --> 00:33:28,308
Speaker 6: Yeah, CJ, you know what you can do, and we

793
00:33:28,388 --> 00:33:30,388
Speaker 6: know what you can do. It's been it's been amazing

794
00:33:30,428 --> 00:33:31,908
Speaker 6: to follow you. But I want to take you back

795
00:33:31,948 --> 00:33:34,468
Speaker 6: to a wild card game win over the Chargers.

796
00:33:34,508 --> 00:33:35,508
Speaker 4: I played for the Chargers.

797
00:33:35,588 --> 00:33:38,068
Speaker 6: I definitely was watching this my cousin is married to

798
00:33:38,108 --> 00:33:38,948
Speaker 6: Henry Tole Toll.

799
00:33:39,388 --> 00:33:41,068
Speaker 4: So I was rooting for both sides.

800
00:33:41,068 --> 00:33:44,628
Speaker 6: But second quarter, third and sixteen it's a fumbled snap,

801
00:33:44,668 --> 00:33:48,468
Speaker 6: but you just calmly scoop up the snap, your roll out,

802
00:33:48,468 --> 00:33:51,388
Speaker 6: and you hit Xaber Hutchinson for a thirty four yard game.

803
00:33:51,828 --> 00:33:53,828
Speaker 4: First of all, not only how did you pull that off?

804
00:33:53,868 --> 00:33:55,868
Speaker 4: But like, how do you just stay so calm in

805
00:33:55,908 --> 00:33:56,908
Speaker 4: those situations?

806
00:33:57,148 --> 00:33:57,268
Speaker 1: Uh?

807
00:33:57,348 --> 00:33:58,868
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know. First, bro, I just want to give

808
00:33:58,868 --> 00:34:01,228
Speaker 9: your flyers, man, I'm a huge fan. Bro. Watch you something.

809
00:34:01,268 --> 00:34:01,668
Speaker 9: The kids?

810
00:34:01,748 --> 00:34:02,108
Speaker 4: Thank you?

811
00:34:02,908 --> 00:34:05,548
Speaker 13: Yeah, man, I just want to say that, yes sir,

812
00:34:06,428 --> 00:34:08,268
Speaker 13: But yeah, I mean I feel like I think that

813
00:34:08,308 --> 00:34:09,948
Speaker 13: ball bounced up like it did. I think it was

814
00:34:09,948 --> 00:34:13,508
Speaker 13: a number guy because I was nervous in my mind.

815
00:34:13,628 --> 00:34:16,068
Speaker 13: But in those moments, man, I'm call you know, to

816
00:34:16,468 --> 00:34:19,268
Speaker 13: you know, be a leader on my team. And I

817
00:34:19,308 --> 00:34:20,948
Speaker 13: think that's just that was a testament of kind of

818
00:34:20,988 --> 00:34:23,028
Speaker 13: how our season went and some ups and downs, some

819
00:34:23,028 --> 00:34:25,868
Speaker 13: some some scary moments, but you know, it's all about

820
00:34:25,868 --> 00:34:28,028
Speaker 13: what you do next and your your You can control

821
00:34:28,108 --> 00:34:31,948
Speaker 13: your effort, uh, your attitude and your response. So in

822
00:34:32,028 --> 00:34:33,828
Speaker 13: that moment, man, I really just try to focus on

823
00:34:34,108 --> 00:34:36,628
Speaker 13: how I can silvage to play. But I think that

824
00:34:36,828 --> 00:34:39,508
Speaker 13: was that was a focal point of like how our

825
00:34:39,508 --> 00:34:42,228
Speaker 13: season kind of went. And from that on that point on,

826
00:34:42,268 --> 00:34:44,188
Speaker 13: I think we took off man as an offense as

827
00:34:44,228 --> 00:34:47,228
Speaker 13: a in that game, and you know we've seen you know,

828
00:34:47,228 --> 00:34:50,068
Speaker 13: we got a big dubb against the Chargers. But yeah, man,

829
00:34:50,148 --> 00:34:52,028
Speaker 13: I hopefully don't have those moments no more. I'll just

830
00:34:52,068 --> 00:34:54,588
Speaker 13: catch as not. But uh yeah, just just trying to

831
00:34:54,588 --> 00:34:55,588
Speaker 13: stay calm those moments.

832
00:34:55,828 --> 00:34:56,068

Speaker 13: to be.

875
00:36:49,548 --> 00:36:50,068
Speaker 9: A part of it.

876
00:36:50,348 --> 00:36:50,908
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

877
00:36:50,988 --> 00:36:54,668
Speaker 2: Well, listen, you must you're getting into acting apparently with

878
00:36:54,708 --> 00:36:56,308
Speaker 2: your commercials, but that.

879
00:36:56,308 --> 00:36:58,148
Speaker 3: Might just be like a side gig. What you do

880
00:36:58,308 --> 00:36:59,028
Speaker 3: try to do is.

881
00:36:59,308 --> 00:37:01,668
Speaker 2: Hone in on your skills on the chess board if

882
00:37:01,668 --> 00:37:03,628
Speaker 2: you will, so, will you tell us a little bit

883
00:37:03,628 --> 00:37:05,948
Speaker 2: about how you spend your time playing chess, who you

884
00:37:05,988 --> 00:37:08,468
Speaker 2: play with, and how some of those skills you feel

885
00:37:08,468 --> 00:37:10,428
Speaker 2: like translate into game prepping.

886
00:37:10,108 --> 00:37:10,828
Speaker 3: As a quarterback.

887
00:37:11,468 --> 00:37:13,308
Speaker 13: Well, to be honest with you, I haven't played chess

888
00:37:13,308 --> 00:37:15,388
Speaker 13: in a long time. I used to be really good.

889
00:37:16,468 --> 00:37:18,988
Speaker 13: But I can tell you this that it is. It's

890
00:37:19,068 --> 00:37:22,228
Speaker 13: not only a football game that can like mimic that,

891
00:37:22,268 --> 00:37:25,908
Speaker 13: but life. It's like, you know, every decision has consequences.

892
00:37:25,948 --> 00:37:29,628
Speaker 13: Every decision it can be important, can make a break.

893
00:37:29,788 --> 00:37:33,668
Speaker 13: So I think it teaches about life and the game

894
00:37:33,708 --> 00:37:35,948
Speaker 13: I've been on though, if anybody wants to lose is Dominoes.

895
00:37:36,028 --> 00:37:39,708
Speaker 13: So if you wants to play Dominoes, y'all can run it.

896
00:37:40,228 --> 00:37:43,428
Speaker 13: I got to be playing person. Yeah, So, but yeah,

897
00:37:43,548 --> 00:37:46,868
Speaker 13: I love chess. I think it's a it's a great game.

898
00:37:47,108 --> 00:37:49,748
Speaker 13: I should probably play a little more, but I'll be

899
00:37:49,828 --> 00:37:52,388
Speaker 13: lying if I said that I play still a lot.

900
00:37:52,748 --> 00:37:55,548
Speaker 3: Who got you into dominoes? How did that come to be?

901
00:37:56,508 --> 00:37:58,708
Speaker 13: I would say, just me and my buddies. We were

902
00:37:58,748 --> 00:38:02,508
Speaker 13: on vacation and we used to play a long time ago.

903
00:38:02,948 --> 00:38:05,228
Speaker 13: And I don't know my dad, he he played a lot.

904
00:38:05,308 --> 00:38:07,708
Speaker 13: So see here, you know you have to cookouts. You

905
00:38:07,708 --> 00:38:11,548
Speaker 13: see your uncle, you see your your cousin's playing. They

906
00:38:11,588 --> 00:38:13,988
Speaker 13: over there arguing. When you're young, you got to sit

907
00:38:14,068 --> 00:38:16,788
Speaker 13: sit at the little table. So now I'm at the

908
00:38:16,788 --> 00:38:19,588
Speaker 13: big boy table. Uh so I get to play.

909
00:38:19,668 --> 00:38:22,308
Speaker 6: So yeah, we'll see j like you have that you

910
00:38:22,348 --> 00:38:24,828
Speaker 6: have the ie on your hat that's in an empire

911
00:38:24,828 --> 00:38:28,068
Speaker 6: from California. You represent so many different things, bro Ohio,

912
00:38:28,148 --> 00:38:29,068
Speaker 6: state your faith.

913
00:38:29,628 --> 00:38:31,668
Speaker 4: Like take me back to when you were young.

914
00:38:31,708 --> 00:38:34,108
Speaker 6: Who is that person in your life that helped mold

915
00:38:34,188 --> 00:38:36,508
Speaker 6: you and shape you to be the extraordinary young man

916
00:38:36,508 --> 00:38:37,188
Speaker 6: that you are today.

917
00:38:37,428 --> 00:38:38,508
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's a great question.

918
00:38:38,988 --> 00:38:40,988
Speaker 13: Like somebody told me when I was a child it

919
00:38:41,028 --> 00:38:43,468
Speaker 13: was a Texan village to raise a kid, So I

920
00:38:43,508 --> 00:38:46,228
Speaker 13: would say my village, man, it's it's a lot of

921
00:38:46,228 --> 00:38:48,468
Speaker 13: different people. Of course, I think it starts from my

922
00:38:48,788 --> 00:38:52,308
Speaker 13: father and my mother. You know, they they put in

923
00:38:52,348 --> 00:38:55,508
Speaker 13: the value the beliefs the faith into me. Then as

924
00:38:55,548 --> 00:38:58,388
Speaker 13: I got older, it started to become my own. So

925
00:38:58,868 --> 00:39:00,868
Speaker 13: now I have my own personal relationship with Jesus. And

926
00:39:01,708 --> 00:39:04,268
Speaker 13: this is the best I've been in my faith personally.

927
00:39:04,628 --> 00:39:08,228
Speaker 13: I've had lukewarm seasons, I've had cold seasons, I've had hot,

928
00:39:08,308 --> 00:39:11,108
Speaker 13: but I found that, you know, the Lord is his

929
00:39:11,188 --> 00:39:14,348
Speaker 13: grace is sufficient for me. So I'm very blessed to

930
00:39:14,388 --> 00:39:17,588
Speaker 13: you know, be in one accord with with the with

931
00:39:17,628 --> 00:39:21,188
Speaker 13: the one true living God. So but past that, I

932
00:39:21,228 --> 00:39:24,508
Speaker 13: would say just the different life lessons that I learned

933
00:39:24,828 --> 00:39:26,988
Speaker 13: as a kid growing up in II. You know, you

934
00:39:27,108 --> 00:39:30,348
Speaker 13: got good, you got bad, you got people focused, you

935
00:39:30,348 --> 00:39:33,348
Speaker 13: got people who aren't focused. So you know, I really

936
00:39:33,388 --> 00:39:35,828
Speaker 13: believe God had his hand on me through my life

937
00:39:35,828 --> 00:39:38,948
Speaker 13: and through my childhood. Of you know, there's a lot

938
00:39:38,948 --> 00:39:41,148
Speaker 13: of different players where I'm from that are a lot

939
00:39:41,228 --> 00:39:43,908
Speaker 13: more talented than me. But for some reason, you know,

940
00:39:44,188 --> 00:39:46,588
Speaker 13: God chose me to be in this position. So I'm

941
00:39:46,708 --> 00:39:48,468
Speaker 13: trying to do my best to steward it the best

942
00:39:48,508 --> 00:39:50,268
Speaker 13: way I can. And you know, I've made a lot

943
00:39:50,268 --> 00:39:52,548
Speaker 13: of mistakes, but you know, I know God has qualified

944
00:39:52,628 --> 00:39:54,588
Speaker 13: me for this position, and I'm trying to live in

945
00:39:54,668 --> 00:39:58,148
Speaker 13: that truth to you know, help people, because I think

946
00:39:58,348 --> 00:39:59,228
Speaker 13: that's what I'm here for.

947
00:39:59,988 --> 00:40:00,188
Speaker 12: Man.

948
00:40:00,228 --> 00:40:02,188
Speaker 5: You brought the word village. Man, I need to go

949
00:40:02,228 --> 00:40:04,668
Speaker 5: back to your village. Back at Ohio State there playing

950
00:40:04,708 --> 00:40:07,068
Speaker 5: against Texas this weekend. Man, we need to know hous

951
00:40:07,148 --> 00:40:08,068
Speaker 5: this game going to go down.

952
00:40:08,548 --> 00:40:11,228
Speaker 13: I got us, man for sure, I think we're coming,

953
00:40:11,268 --> 00:40:13,668
Speaker 13: and we got the momentum. We come off hot, a

954
00:40:13,668 --> 00:40:15,868
Speaker 13: lot of different new players. But I think one thing

955
00:40:15,868 --> 00:40:18,788
Speaker 13: I went up there a couple of weeks ago before camp,

956
00:40:18,908 --> 00:40:21,108
Speaker 13: and the one thing that still stuck out to me

957
00:40:21,668 --> 00:40:24,468
Speaker 13: is that toughness hasn't gone anywhere. You know, Coach Nick

958
00:40:24,548 --> 00:40:27,308
Speaker 13: is up there, Mat Saw did you have coach Mick.

959
00:40:28,748 --> 00:40:31,588
Speaker 4: Okay, I think it was after me. He was after me,

960
00:40:31,668 --> 00:40:32,628
Speaker 4: bro yeah.

961
00:40:32,308 --> 00:40:33,628
Speaker 9: Okay, yeah yeah.

962
00:40:33,668 --> 00:40:36,188
Speaker 13: So Coach Mick Man, he's he's the I think he's

963
00:40:36,188 --> 00:40:39,468
Speaker 13: the foundation of our program. And I went up there

964
00:40:39,508 --> 00:40:42,028
Speaker 13: there doing Matt drills or doing the slat pools and

965
00:40:42,068 --> 00:40:44,588
Speaker 13: all the different things you do in college that maybe

966
00:40:44,628 --> 00:40:49,828
Speaker 13: don't resonate the football, but it helped me in my

967
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:53,428
Speaker 13: career and I'm very grateful of that. But I think

968
00:40:53,468 --> 00:40:55,428
Speaker 13: that toughness because at the end of the day, that

969
00:40:55,468 --> 00:40:58,068
Speaker 13: first game that the jitters are a little off, you know,

970
00:40:58,228 --> 00:41:00,068
Speaker 13: like you might not be making every throw, every play,

971
00:41:00,148 --> 00:41:02,348
Speaker 13: every tackle, but I think at the end of the day,

972
00:41:02,388 --> 00:41:05,068
Speaker 13: the toughness wins that game. So I think that that

973
00:41:05,148 --> 00:41:07,628
Speaker 13: chess is going to be displayed on Saturday.

974
00:41:07,828 --> 00:41:08,068
Speaker 3: CJ.

975
00:41:08,188 --> 00:41:11,948
Speaker 2: You're such a well rounded kind person, however, in the

976
00:41:11,988 --> 00:41:14,068
Speaker 2: locker room with the Texans. But I know this is

977
00:41:14,068 --> 00:41:16,588
Speaker 2: the case across the NFL. But you got guys from

978
00:41:16,628 --> 00:41:19,588
Speaker 2: every great college football program, Like how much do you

979
00:41:19,628 --> 00:41:21,628
Speaker 2: have to beat your chest for the buck Guys when

980
00:41:21,668 --> 00:41:24,228
Speaker 2: you see those Alabama guys come through, or you see

981
00:41:24,548 --> 00:41:27,068
Speaker 2: Michigan or Notre Dame, or do you just sit there

982
00:41:27,108 --> 00:41:29,428
Speaker 2: and say the game on Saturday will talk? How do

983
00:41:29,468 --> 00:41:31,748
Speaker 2: you go about defending the Ohio State honor?

984
00:41:32,268 --> 00:41:35,028
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think it's fun to, you know, have a

985
00:41:35,028 --> 00:41:38,188
Speaker 13: little back and forth. So I'm not want to keep

986
00:41:38,188 --> 00:41:40,228
Speaker 13: my mouth shut about the Buck eyes. I'm always talking

987
00:41:40,268 --> 00:41:44,188
Speaker 13: mess and to let people know. But it's also all

988
00:41:44,188 --> 00:41:46,668
Speaker 13: funny game. You know, we're all teenage of the day now,

989
00:41:46,708 --> 00:41:50,068
Speaker 13: so we're all rude for one another. But also it's

990
00:41:50,068 --> 00:41:52,988
Speaker 13: fun to have like little side beds or you know,

991
00:41:53,068 --> 00:41:54,348
Speaker 13: to wear e Chutter's shirts.

992
00:41:54,388 --> 00:41:55,628
Speaker 9: So I think it's cool.

993
00:41:56,548 --> 00:42:00,268
Speaker 2: I'm so shocked that Kyle Brant just couldn't find a

994
00:42:00,308 --> 00:42:02,908
Speaker 2: flight from New York to Western New York at any

995
00:42:02,908 --> 00:42:04,628
Speaker 2: other time except in the middle of god morning fall.

996
00:42:04,668 --> 00:42:07,148
