Speaker 4: All right?

13
00:00:50,628 --> 00:00:54,668
Speaker 3: Lion's wide receiver amonra Saint Brown isn't just stoked about

14
00:00:54,748 --> 00:00:57,708
Speaker 3: taking over players choice. Stop Ryan, I saw you see

Speaker 3: me fumble that one today at one pm Eastern here

16
00:01:00,948 --> 00:01:05,068
Speaker 3: on NFL Network. He's excited about the energy surround a squad,

17
00:01:05,468 --> 00:01:09,028
Speaker 3: telling Sports Illustrated quote, the hype is crazy.

18
00:01:09,348 --> 00:01:11,388
Speaker 4: If a fancies you, they're super excited.

19
00:01:11,628 --> 00:01:15,988
Speaker 3: They have big expectations. Those expectations start with showing up

20
00:01:15,988 --> 00:01:18,428
Speaker 3: strong against the Chiefs in the twenty twenty three kickoff

21
00:01:18,468 --> 00:01:21,348
Speaker 3: game in Kansas City.

22
00:01:21,708 --> 00:01:24,868
Speaker 5: We're excited. I mean, I can't tell you the staffs excited.

23
00:01:24,868 --> 00:01:27,268
Speaker 5: I know our players are excited. You know, I think

24
00:01:27,308 --> 00:01:30,988
Speaker 5: everybody wants an opportunity to play a chap and to

25
00:01:31,028 --> 00:01:33,868
Speaker 5: see where you stack up. And I know what Andy

26
00:01:33,908 --> 00:01:36,428
Speaker 5: Reid's about. We know what that team's about. You know,

27
00:01:37,108 --> 00:01:40,108
Speaker 5: highly competitive, They're a champ. You're andy 're out, They're

28
00:01:40,148 --> 00:01:41,788
Speaker 5: going to be They're going to be in the running.

29
00:01:41,948 --> 00:01:44,668
Speaker 5: So man, we're looking forward to it. It's gonna be great.

30
00:01:45,628 --> 00:01:46,108
Speaker 4: I'm honor.

31
00:01:46,148 --> 00:01:49,068
Speaker 3: I'm sorry for making it sound like ammonia this morning,

32
00:01:49,508 --> 00:01:51,908
Speaker 3: but there is no doubt that the Lions are making

33
00:01:51,948 --> 00:01:55,308
Speaker 3: some noise about being better in twenty twenty three. But

34
00:01:55,388 --> 00:01:57,908
Speaker 3: what is this team that failed to make the playoffs

35
00:01:57,948 --> 00:01:58,428
Speaker 3: last year?

36
00:01:58,508 --> 00:02:00,268
Speaker 4: Are they worth the buzz? Guys?

37
00:02:00,308 --> 00:02:03,908
Speaker 3: And so yes, we are talking Lions right out of

38
00:02:03,948 --> 00:02:07,028
Speaker 3: the game with the shutting. What needs to happen for

39
00:02:07,108 --> 00:02:09,428
Speaker 3: the Detroit Lions to live up to the hype?

40
00:02:09,548 --> 00:02:11,988
Speaker 6: First, Jane, I love that we're starting to show talking

41
00:02:11,988 --> 00:02:14,548
Speaker 6: the Lions some love. That team was so fun to

42
00:02:14,588 --> 00:02:17,308
Speaker 6: watch last year. It was really a tale of two seasons.

43
00:02:17,708 --> 00:02:21,548
Speaker 6: First half of the season they had historically historically bad defense,

44
00:02:21,588 --> 00:02:24,268
Speaker 6: in fact, the second worst amount of points in the

45
00:02:24,308 --> 00:02:27,268
Speaker 6: first seven games of any team in NFL history. Historically bad.

46
00:02:27,508 --> 00:02:29,948
Speaker 6: Second half of the season, they improved to eleventh, averaging

47
00:02:29,988 --> 00:02:32,108
Speaker 6: twenty point two points a game. And so the guy

48
00:02:32,148 --> 00:02:35,388
Speaker 6: that we're gonna watch this year is Aaron Glenn, their

49
00:02:35,428 --> 00:02:37,908
Speaker 6: defensive coordinator. That's the guy you guys gonna know a

50
00:02:37,948 --> 00:02:40,268
Speaker 6: bunch because how the Lion season goes is going to

51
00:02:40,308 --> 00:02:42,588
Speaker 6: be based on how he gets the most out of

52
00:02:42,628 --> 00:02:44,868
Speaker 6: this unit. Is it gonna be the first half of

53
00:02:44,908 --> 00:02:48,948
Speaker 6: the unit season where everybody was throwing past running doing

54
00:02:48,988 --> 00:02:51,228
Speaker 6: everything on it? Or are we gonna see that improved bunch?

55
00:02:51,268 --> 00:02:53,348
Speaker 6: That offense is really good. It was a top five

56
00:02:53,468 --> 00:02:55,868
Speaker 6: unit at certain points last year. But can that defense

57
00:02:56,028 --> 00:02:59,148
Speaker 6: with the new additions they added Chauncey Gardner, Johnson cam Sudden,

58
00:02:59,188 --> 00:03:02,868
Speaker 6: can they make that move to wide open NFC North No,

59
00:03:03,028 --> 00:03:05,788
Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers anymore. A lot of people were picking the

60
00:03:05,868 --> 00:03:09,348
Speaker 6: Lions to get and win this division, but that defense

61
00:03:09,388 --> 00:03:11,228
Speaker 6: has to be a lot better for them to show

62
00:03:11,268 --> 00:03:12,028
Speaker 6: up when he counts.

63
00:03:12,548 --> 00:03:15,548
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that everybody can fully understand what needs

64
00:03:15,548 --> 00:03:16,388
Speaker 7: to be better about this team.

65
00:03:16,428 --> 00:03:17,028
Speaker 8: It's the defense.

66
00:03:17,068 --> 00:03:19,788
Speaker 7: And what made them better throughout the year was how

67
00:03:19,828 --> 00:03:22,028
Speaker 7: they improved right one in eight to start the season.

68
00:03:22,028 --> 00:03:23,988
Speaker 7: I mean, Dan Campbell is like the toast of the

69
00:03:24,028 --> 00:03:26,708
Speaker 7: town in Detroit, in the NFL now, people don't forget.

70
00:03:26,708 --> 00:03:29,028
Speaker 7: Like mid season last year, people were saying, hey, he

71
00:03:29,108 --> 00:03:33,188
Speaker 7: might be out and Detroit's doing exactly what they've always done. Instead,

72
00:03:33,628 --> 00:03:36,228
Speaker 7: they bounced back. Aaron Glenn does a tremendous job. You

73
00:03:36,388 --> 00:03:39,868
Speaker 7: held teams to twenty points a game, had twenty eight sacks,

74
00:03:40,108 --> 00:03:41,748
Speaker 7: and they took the ball away. And when you take

75
00:03:41,788 --> 00:03:43,028
Speaker 7: the ball away and you give it back to a

76
00:03:43,108 --> 00:03:45,948
Speaker 7: quarterback like Jared Goff who's incredibly efficient, doesn't turn it

77
00:03:45,988 --> 00:03:48,428
Speaker 7: over and they run the ball that well inside the

78
00:03:48,428 --> 00:03:50,748
Speaker 7: five yard line, that's a winning combination. I will say

79
00:03:50,748 --> 00:03:54,428
Speaker 7: this too, the character of this football team to go

80
00:03:54,468 --> 00:03:57,228
Speaker 7: into Green Bay the final weekend of the year where

81
00:03:57,268 --> 00:03:59,428
Speaker 7: the game was meaningless to this, My wife and I

82
00:03:59,428 --> 00:04:01,828
Speaker 7: were sitting watching it on Sunday Night Football looking at

83
00:04:01,828 --> 00:04:03,708
Speaker 7: each other and like her and I both in our

84
00:04:03,748 --> 00:04:06,188
Speaker 7: minds were like, there's no way this game comes out

85
00:04:06,188 --> 00:04:08,908
Speaker 7: in the favor of Detroit. They just watched Seattle get

86
00:04:08,908 --> 00:04:10,988
Speaker 7: into the playoffs. They're not going to be prepared to go,

87
00:04:11,308 --> 00:04:14,828
Speaker 7: and then they go and dominate at Lambeau against Aaron

88
00:04:14,908 --> 00:04:18,028
Speaker 7: Rodgers and that whole team. So I like this football team.

89
00:04:18,068 --> 00:04:20,908
Speaker 7: I know it's a little paradoxical for me because I

90
00:04:20,908 --> 00:04:22,668
Speaker 7: look at the Jets and I look at the Lions,

91
00:04:22,668 --> 00:04:24,668
Speaker 7: and you can make the comparison about the same. You

92
00:04:24,708 --> 00:04:26,628
Speaker 7: know that they are down on their luck, teams that

93
00:04:26,708 --> 00:04:28,708
Speaker 7: haven't had a chance. Why do I think the Lions

94
00:04:28,708 --> 00:04:30,468
Speaker 7: have a better chance than the Jets. I can't tell

95
00:04:30,508 --> 00:04:30,788
Speaker 7: you why.

96
00:04:30,788 --> 00:04:31,188
Speaker 8: I just do.

97
00:04:31,268 --> 00:04:33,668
Speaker 7: Maybe it's Dan Campbell. But this team is really excited

98
00:04:33,668 --> 00:04:36,308
Speaker 7: and this division is right for the taking, I think right.

99
00:04:36,348 --> 00:04:38,428
Speaker 6: I love that you mentioned that Green Bay game because

100
00:04:38,428 --> 00:04:41,668
Speaker 6: a lot of times you look at a team transitioning

101
00:04:42,108 --> 00:04:44,068
Speaker 6: and there's one game you point back to and it's

102
00:04:44,108 --> 00:04:46,788
Speaker 6: like that's where things change for us. And it had

103
00:04:46,868 --> 00:04:49,508
Speaker 6: nothing to play for, but you can feel the Lions

104
00:04:49,628 --> 00:04:52,268
Speaker 6: culture shifting, like they lost that game so many years

105
00:04:52,308 --> 00:04:54,948
Speaker 6: where you lose to Green Bay, they make their playoff run,

106
00:04:55,308 --> 00:04:58,548
Speaker 6: you're the final bowl on there. But they ended their

107
00:04:58,588 --> 00:05:00,668
Speaker 6: season they played spoiler, and I think they're going to

108
00:05:00,748 --> 00:05:02,588
Speaker 6: use that as a transition. And I'm also eager to

109
00:05:02,628 --> 00:05:05,188
Speaker 6: see Jared Goff, who had arguably the best season of

110
00:05:05,228 --> 00:05:08,388
Speaker 6: his career last year, can he repeat that? And you know,

111
00:05:08,468 --> 00:05:10,468
Speaker 6: you look at a guy like Jared Goff who essentially

112
00:05:10,508 --> 00:05:12,948
Speaker 6: had to was giving up on in l A a

113
00:05:13,028 --> 00:05:16,588
Speaker 6: redemption player essentially. Here he's got finding a great fit

114
00:05:16,668 --> 00:05:19,068
Speaker 6: with Ben Johnson, the offensive coordinator with the Lions. They

115
00:05:19,068 --> 00:05:21,268
Speaker 6: were very lucky to get him back for another year.

116
00:05:21,308 --> 00:05:22,988
Speaker 6: He was a head coach candidate in a lot of

117
00:05:22,988 --> 00:05:26,108
Speaker 6: different areas. They're gonna miss Jamison Williams early in the season.

118
00:05:26,268 --> 00:05:28,428
Speaker 6: But you mentioned a mon row, you mentioned that offense.

119
00:05:28,428 --> 00:05:31,028
Speaker 6: They drafted Jamior Gibbs. This is a team that has

120
00:05:31,108 --> 00:05:34,148
Speaker 6: the offensive firepower to be the best offense in NFC

121
00:05:34,268 --> 00:05:35,988
Speaker 6: North and definitely win this division.

122
00:05:36,028 --> 00:05:37,348
Speaker 8: But you think graty, Yeah, definitely.

123
00:05:37,428 --> 00:05:37,588
Speaker 2: Man.

124
00:05:37,588 --> 00:05:39,268
Speaker 9: You said that they got a really good offense, really

125
00:05:39,268 --> 00:05:41,188
Speaker 9: good quarterback in Jared Golf. I think I think I

126
00:05:41,268 --> 00:05:43,468
Speaker 9: have a really good offensive line too. They have a

127
00:05:43,508 --> 00:05:46,068
Speaker 9: heag of units to compete against, you know, so along

128
00:05:46,068 --> 00:05:48,028
Speaker 9: as the defense hold up, you know, like they finished

129
00:05:48,028 --> 00:05:50,468
Speaker 9: the season on the second end playing better defense, I

130
00:05:50,468 --> 00:05:52,948
Speaker 9: think they'll have a good shot and you know, show

131
00:05:52,948 --> 00:05:55,788
Speaker 9: people that the lines you know, are definitely gonna be

132
00:05:55,828 --> 00:05:56,308
Speaker 9: some contingent.

133
00:05:56,508 --> 00:05:57,068
Speaker 8: I'm excited to.

134
00:05:57,028 --> 00:06:01,668
Speaker 7: Play nall being one of them. Oh yeah, to play

135
00:06:01,708 --> 00:06:02,188
Speaker 7: up against me?

136
00:06:02,348 --> 00:06:06,468
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, m hm, yep him, that's yeah.

137
00:06:06,508 --> 00:06:08,388
Speaker 9: So they got they got some good guys up there,

138
00:06:08,428 --> 00:06:10,908
Speaker 9: and then the coaches harp on them toughness, toughness, So

139
00:06:11,268 --> 00:06:12,308
Speaker 9: what do you think about?

140
00:06:12,588 --> 00:06:14,668
Speaker 7: And this is something that Dan Campbell has done and

141
00:06:14,908 --> 00:06:17,988
Speaker 7: not necessarily. You know, you see former players scattered around

142
00:06:18,028 --> 00:06:20,908
Speaker 7: the NFL as as coaches, but this was really kind

143
00:06:20,908 --> 00:06:23,308
Speaker 7: of the first time where Dan Campbell went in and

144
00:06:23,348 --> 00:06:26,228
Speaker 7: when he put his roster of coaches together, he really

145
00:06:26,268 --> 00:06:28,748
Speaker 7: went on the former player side of things. Mark Brunell

146
00:06:29,268 --> 00:06:32,468
Speaker 7: who played almost twenty years as a quarterback in this league,

147
00:06:32,788 --> 00:06:36,228
Speaker 7: Aaron Glenn was a great player, a bunch of bunch

148
00:06:36,268 --> 00:06:39,028
Speaker 7: of guys that played as a player. When you have

149
00:06:39,188 --> 00:06:42,348
Speaker 7: a coach that played and maybe has an understanding of

150
00:06:42,388 --> 00:06:44,868
Speaker 7: the experience, how does that feel for you in terms

151
00:06:44,868 --> 00:06:47,708
Speaker 7: of you talked about Brian Young yesterday a little bit

152
00:06:47,828 --> 00:06:48,988
Speaker 7: and how much that impacted you.

153
00:06:49,028 --> 00:06:49,508
Speaker 8: Yeah, for sure.

154
00:06:49,508 --> 00:06:51,788
Speaker 9: I mean when you learn from somebody who's done it,

155
00:06:51,788 --> 00:06:53,788
Speaker 9: who's been in the fire, you listen to him, you

156
00:06:53,788 --> 00:06:55,668
Speaker 9: don't look a different way and they have a different

157
00:06:55,668 --> 00:06:57,428
Speaker 9: aspect because they have played the game.

158
00:06:58,028 --> 00:06:59,428
Speaker 8: But I've had good coaches that you.

159
00:06:59,388 --> 00:07:01,628
Speaker 9: Know, didn't play on a pro level in some that did,

160
00:07:01,708 --> 00:07:05,188
Speaker 9: so it's different, but you can expected in a certain

161
00:07:05,228 --> 00:07:07,788
Speaker 9: way to where something that they tell you know that

162
00:07:07,788 --> 00:07:09,548
Speaker 9: they've done it, and they spent time doing it. So

163
00:07:10,028 --> 00:07:11,988
Speaker 9: I can see how coach Campbell could definitely get the

164
00:07:11,988 --> 00:07:14,588
Speaker 9: best out his guys and he fiery and me definitely

165
00:07:14,708 --> 00:07:16,588
Speaker 9: entertaining to watch. And I'm sure they bought buying into

166
00:07:16,668 --> 00:07:18,508
Speaker 9: the program we're trying to put up put in a.

167
00:07:18,948 --> 00:07:20,588
Speaker 3: I love that you bring in the buying into the

168
00:07:20,588 --> 00:07:23,988
Speaker 3: program because people wanted to go to Detroit, people wanted

169
00:07:24,028 --> 00:07:26,148
Speaker 3: to come back and get extensions in Detroit.

170
00:07:26,428 --> 00:07:28,108
Speaker 4: How much does it affect a locker room?

171
00:07:28,228 --> 00:07:30,148
Speaker 3: We looked at the number one and six to start

172
00:07:30,188 --> 00:07:32,828
Speaker 3: the season, you finish eight and two. Have you ever

173
00:07:32,868 --> 00:07:34,428
Speaker 3: been a part of a team where you've taken that

174
00:07:34,508 --> 00:07:36,668
Speaker 3: sort of momentum into the next season? In other words,

175
00:07:36,708 --> 00:07:38,628
Speaker 3: you felt like, yeah, it took us a little while

176
00:07:38,668 --> 00:07:39,308
Speaker 3: to get going.

177
00:07:40,108 --> 00:07:41,988
Speaker 4: Man, this thing felt close.

178
00:07:42,108 --> 00:07:44,948
Speaker 3: And then to beat Aaron Rodgers and the Packers basically

179
00:07:44,948 --> 00:07:47,148
Speaker 3: get him out of the division with that game. How

180
00:07:47,228 --> 00:07:49,828
Speaker 3: much can you carry that into a next season?

181
00:07:49,868 --> 00:07:51,548
Speaker 9: And you definitely could carry it to the next season,

182
00:07:51,588 --> 00:07:53,988
Speaker 9: but you got to realize that you got to revamp

183
00:07:54,028 --> 00:07:55,828
Speaker 9: because the next season is a new season. You know,

184
00:07:56,108 --> 00:07:57,708
Speaker 9: We was at a point with the Falcons when you're

185
00:07:57,948 --> 00:07:59,788
Speaker 9: down like one to seven, and then we end up

186
00:07:59,948 --> 00:08:01,748
Speaker 9: winning like the rest of our games, and then coach

187
00:08:01,828 --> 00:08:03,788
Speaker 9: Quinn got another opportunity to come back and then we

188
00:08:03,828 --> 00:08:06,188
Speaker 9: but we still struggle the next season, you know. So

189
00:08:06,508 --> 00:08:09,348
Speaker 9: it's important to carry that momentum if you finish strong

190
00:08:09,388 --> 00:08:11,628
Speaker 9: into the next season, because you're only good as your

191
00:08:12,108 --> 00:08:14,388
Speaker 9: next go round, you know, so, so it's not gonna

192
00:08:14,388 --> 00:08:15,468
Speaker 9: win you for the next year.

193
00:08:15,508 --> 00:08:16,588
Speaker 8: Grady, let me ask you this.

194
00:08:16,828 --> 00:08:20,508
Speaker 6: We started to this segment asking about the hype, right

195
00:08:20,748 --> 00:08:23,268
Speaker 6: the Lions have been hyped. They were a hard knocks team.

196
00:08:23,308 --> 00:08:25,548
Speaker 6: We fell in love with them in that respect, and

197
00:08:25,548 --> 00:08:26,748
Speaker 6: now a lot of people are like, this is the

198
00:08:26,748 --> 00:08:30,108
Speaker 6: hot team. How much as players, do you feel the

199
00:08:30,188 --> 00:08:32,908
Speaker 6: hype when people were saying, hey, you guys, are it

200
00:08:32,948 --> 00:08:34,468
Speaker 6: and how do you balance that?

201
00:08:35,108 --> 00:08:38,028
Speaker 9: Yeah, you definitely feel the hype because I mean, obviously

202
00:08:38,108 --> 00:08:40,788
Speaker 9: with social media, TV media, a lot of times buying

203
00:08:40,788 --> 00:08:42,188
Speaker 9: into the teams as you know, like you say, like

204
00:08:42,228 --> 00:08:44,508
Speaker 9: hot right now, so I mean they hot, they popular,

205
00:08:44,548 --> 00:08:46,908
Speaker 9: people want a piece of them, and so they definitely

206
00:08:46,908 --> 00:08:48,748
Speaker 9: see it, you know. And then but at the same time,

207
00:08:48,788 --> 00:08:51,548
Speaker 9: you can with them being kind of on the back

208
00:08:51,548 --> 00:08:54,588
Speaker 9: burner of the NFL. They appreciate, you know, people showing

209
00:08:54,588 --> 00:08:57,068
Speaker 9: them some more love stuff like that. So you know,

210
00:08:57,228 --> 00:08:59,188
Speaker 9: you can't you can't buy into the hype to too

211
00:08:59,228 --> 00:09:02,148
Speaker 9: hard because just as quick as they go out, they

212
00:09:02,148 --> 00:09:04,748
Speaker 9: can bring it down, you know. And so you gotta

213
00:09:04,988 --> 00:09:07,748
Speaker 9: have your your process going day in day out and

214
00:09:07,788 --> 00:09:10,188
Speaker 9: just focus led the results take care for so well.

215
00:09:10,188 --> 00:09:12,788
Speaker 3: Speaking of focus, I'm looking forward to the segment we've

216
00:09:12,788 --> 00:09:14,868
Speaker 3: got coming up on Good Morning Football because the only

217
00:09:14,868 --> 00:09:17,108
Speaker 3: thing that Brady Jarrett loves more than being here at

218
00:09:17,108 --> 00:09:20,228
Speaker 3: the breakfast table, let's snack it on the quarterback. He'll

219
00:09:20,268 --> 00:09:22,628
Speaker 3: tell us which ones he likes taking down the most,

220
00:09:22,628 --> 00:09:25,028
Speaker 3: and I want to know who talks the most trash

221
00:09:25,028 --> 00:09:25,908
Speaker 3: when you take him down.

222
00:09:25,988 --> 00:09:26,868
Speaker 8: That's gonna be fun.

223
00:09:26,988 --> 00:09:31,148
Speaker 6: Plus, Mac Jones was seen hanging around Tom.

224
00:09:30,868 --> 00:09:31,828
Speaker 8: Brady last week.

225
00:09:32,028 --> 00:09:34,508
Speaker 6: Is this a big deal or no big deal?

226
00:09:34,708 --> 00:09:37,028
Speaker 8: We discussed next Mac.

227
00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:54,388
Speaker 2: Joby Good Morning Football. With the fourth pick in the

228
00:09:54,428 --> 00:09:59,868
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three NFL Draft, Indianapolis Cole Black Anthony Richardson

229
00:10:00,668 --> 00:10:01,828
Speaker 2: burter back BLURTA.

230
00:10:02,308 --> 00:10:06,428
Speaker 5: He will be going back to Indianapolis where he crushed

231
00:10:06,428 --> 00:10:09,228
Speaker 5: the combine and he is.

232
00:10:09,188 --> 00:10:11,508
Speaker 8: The quarterback of the moment. I'm good dynamic player for

233
00:10:11,588 --> 00:10:12,188
Speaker 8: the frantis.

234
00:10:12,228 --> 00:10:13,868
Speaker 5: You know, I'm gonna work call, I'm gonna be a leader.

235
00:10:13,948 --> 00:10:15,268
Speaker 8: But it's time to make my own ladist and no

236
00:10:15,348 --> 00:10:16,148
Speaker 8: no more count to us.

237
00:10:16,148 --> 00:10:19,988
Speaker 4: As Anthony Richardson enjoy it all, He's happy to thank you.

238
00:10:22,588 --> 00:10:24,988
Speaker 3: He was one of the most talked about prospects heading

239
00:10:24,988 --> 00:10:27,468
Speaker 3: into the twenty twenty three draft, and the Colts took

240
00:10:27,508 --> 00:10:29,868
Speaker 3: him with the fourth overall pick. Safe to say that

241
00:10:29,908 --> 00:10:32,588
Speaker 3: fans in Indy are excited to see Anthony Richardson take

242
00:10:32,588 --> 00:10:34,948
Speaker 3: the field, and so is Colts owner Jim Orsay.

243
00:10:35,148 --> 00:10:35,828
Speaker 4: Here's what he had to.

244
00:10:35,788 --> 00:10:39,188
Speaker 3: Say about the rookie QB on the Pat McAfee show yesterday.

245
00:10:40,268 --> 00:10:43,068
Speaker 10: For Anthony Richardson, it's gonna be it's gonna be tough,

246
00:10:43,148 --> 00:10:46,748
Speaker 10: we know that. But he has to play to get better.

247
00:10:47,068 --> 00:10:50,148
Speaker 10: I mean, there's no question Gardner could come out and

248
00:10:50,388 --> 00:10:53,828
Speaker 10: you know, obviously play better early on just being a veteran.

249
00:10:53,868 --> 00:10:56,188
Speaker 10: But we have to get Anthony in the field. And

250
00:10:56,228 --> 00:10:58,748
Speaker 10: that's you know, Shane's call when he decides to do it.

251
00:10:59,308 --> 00:11:01,668
Speaker 4: All right, with that, it's time for a round of

252
00:11:01,988 --> 00:11:03,828
Speaker 4: big deal or no big deal.

253
00:11:03,948 --> 00:11:05,948
Speaker 3: We'll start with what we just heard from the Colts

254
00:11:06,028 --> 00:11:08,508
Speaker 3: owner Jim Mersay saying the Colts need to get Anthony

255
00:11:08,588 --> 00:11:11,228
Speaker 3: Richardson on the field this season. Ryan, I'm gonna start

256
00:11:11,228 --> 00:11:13,428
Speaker 3: with you, is this a big deal or no big deal?

257
00:11:13,748 --> 00:11:14,988
Speaker 8: Well, of course it's a big deal.

258
00:11:15,068 --> 00:11:18,468
Speaker 7: You went out and spent that draft capital, the number

259
00:11:18,468 --> 00:11:22,188
Speaker 7: four overall pick for a guy that is really unproven.

260
00:11:22,428 --> 00:11:25,828
Speaker 7: I mean, there is a very limited amount of competitive

261
00:11:26,028 --> 00:11:28,788
Speaker 7: reps for him coming out of college, and so he

262
00:11:28,868 --> 00:11:30,628
Speaker 7: needs to get on the field. I think Jim Mersy

263
00:11:30,668 --> 00:11:35,308
Speaker 7: knows that. Unfortunately, with rookie quarterbacks there's a really fine

264
00:11:35,388 --> 00:11:38,828
Speaker 7: line with how confident they are what failure looks like.

265
00:11:38,868 --> 00:11:40,148
Speaker 7: And this team I don't think is going to be

266
00:11:40,628 --> 00:11:44,028
Speaker 7: very good. Shane Stikeen is a perfect fit for him offensively,

267
00:11:44,388 --> 00:11:46,908
Speaker 7: but if you do decide to go with him, you

268
00:11:47,068 --> 00:11:48,668
Speaker 7: have to have a plan in place. And that's what

269
00:11:48,708 --> 00:11:50,788
Speaker 7: we've talked about, you know, since the draft when we

270
00:11:50,788 --> 00:11:52,988
Speaker 7: were here. You have to have a plan in place

271
00:11:53,028 --> 00:11:55,988
Speaker 7: for him when he fails, because he's going to it's

272
00:11:56,068 --> 00:11:59,508
Speaker 7: just it's natural. And the Chargers didn't have a plan

273
00:11:59,588 --> 00:12:02,468
Speaker 7: for me. I certainly didn't have a coping mechanism or

274
00:12:02,468 --> 00:12:04,348
Speaker 7: a plan in place for when things went bad for me,

275
00:12:04,388 --> 00:12:07,108
Speaker 7: because usually things don't necessarily go bad for us when

276
00:12:07,148 --> 00:12:08,268
Speaker 7: we're drafted in the top five.

277
00:12:08,388 --> 00:12:09,508
Speaker 8: Like, everything's gone.

278
00:12:09,348 --> 00:12:12,348
Speaker 7: Pretty good for us in the world of football, So

279
00:12:12,388 --> 00:12:14,868
Speaker 7: what does that look like with the microscope gets really

280
00:12:14,908 --> 00:12:17,428
Speaker 7: really drawn in and how do you deal with it?

281
00:12:17,468 --> 00:12:20,108
Speaker 7: He's shown like he can handle everything so well this

282
00:12:20,188 --> 00:12:22,508
Speaker 7: offseason and how he's carried himself and everything like that,

283
00:12:22,628 --> 00:12:24,828
Speaker 7: But then again, so did I You know what happens when,

284
00:12:24,908 --> 00:12:26,868
Speaker 7: as Mike Tyson tells you, when you get everybody has

285
00:12:26,908 --> 00:12:29,028
Speaker 7: a plan til you get punched in the face. And

286
00:12:29,068 --> 00:12:31,228
Speaker 7: when that happens, how do you react? So they have

287
00:12:31,308 --> 00:12:32,948
Speaker 7: to have a plan in place. They have a great

288
00:12:33,188 --> 00:12:35,628
Speaker 7: backup quarterback in Gardner Minshaw who can be a starter

289
00:12:35,748 --> 00:12:39,468
Speaker 7: if need be, go Koug's and it's very important for

290
00:12:39,508 --> 00:12:40,508
Speaker 7: them to have a plan in place.

291
00:12:40,508 --> 00:12:41,428
Speaker 8: I think Jim Rosa does.

292
00:12:41,468 --> 00:12:44,508
Speaker 7: But unfortunately as an owner, like if you miss on

293
00:12:44,548 --> 00:12:47,428
Speaker 7: a rookie quarterback, Ballard may get fired ultimately from that.

294
00:12:47,748 --> 00:12:49,788
Speaker 7: But Jim can just say, hey, go get me another quarterback. Yeah,

295
00:12:49,868 --> 00:12:52,228
Speaker 7: and then there's a ar walking around holding that anchor

296
00:12:52,268 --> 00:12:54,668
Speaker 7: of being a rookie bust or something. Like that, and

297
00:12:54,708 --> 00:12:56,388
Speaker 7: we don't want any of that to go on anymore.

298
00:12:56,748 --> 00:12:58,348
Speaker 7: We want a plan in place, and there has to

299
00:12:58,348 --> 00:13:00,108
Speaker 7: be some responsibility from the team, and so I hope

300
00:13:00,108 --> 00:13:00,708
Speaker 7: they have one point.

301
00:13:00,948 --> 00:13:02,668
Speaker 4: You know. That actually brings me to another question.

302
00:13:02,668 --> 00:13:04,148
Speaker 3: I love that you brought up to Chris Baler because

303
00:13:04,148 --> 00:13:06,188
Speaker 3: they seem to have They've been throwing a lot of

304
00:13:06,388 --> 00:13:07,868
Speaker 3: starts at the board and they've been missing. I mean,

305
00:13:07,908 --> 00:13:10,068
Speaker 3: if you think about after Andrew Luck, they haven't had

306
00:13:10,108 --> 00:13:10,708
Speaker 3: a lot of success.

307
00:13:10,788 --> 00:13:12,508
Speaker 4: Mean, but they went all in on the Matt Ryan

308
00:13:12,548 --> 00:13:13,548
Speaker 4: thing didn't really.

309
00:13:13,428 --> 00:13:14,668
Speaker 7: Work out for Carson Wentz.

310
00:13:14,708 --> 00:13:16,948
Speaker 3: Carson Wentz didn't work out for them. I mean, Frank

311
00:13:16,988 --> 00:13:19,188
Speaker 3: Reich ultimately lost his job even though he's tailoring that

312
00:13:19,228 --> 00:13:22,548
Speaker 3: offense specifically to Carson. What is going to be the

313
00:13:22,548 --> 00:13:25,188
Speaker 3: biggest adjustment? You know, you talk about the starts, there

314
00:13:25,228 --> 00:13:28,348
Speaker 3: was only thirteen leading up to him getting picked. What's

315
00:13:28,348 --> 00:13:30,788
Speaker 3: the biggest adjustment for rookie that's had a limited amount

316
00:13:30,828 --> 00:13:32,868
Speaker 3: of starts like that? In other words, what sort of

317
00:13:32,948 --> 00:13:34,988
Speaker 3: learning curve is there for someone like him?

318
00:13:35,108 --> 00:13:37,428
Speaker 7: When you had someone like Dwayne Haskins who only had

319
00:13:37,468 --> 00:13:41,388
Speaker 7: fourteen starts, he was a dynamic passer, right that in

320
00:13:41,428 --> 00:13:43,828
Speaker 7: this league is about passing the football. Now the quarterback

321
00:13:43,868 --> 00:13:46,828
Speaker 7: position has become more multiple. I mean, we watch Jalen

322
00:13:46,868 --> 00:13:48,868
Speaker 7: Hurts and MVP candidate a year ago really use his

323
00:13:48,868 --> 00:13:51,748
Speaker 7: feet in certain situations in Shane Steichen's offense, so I

324
00:13:51,748 --> 00:13:53,868
Speaker 7: think we'll see something similar there. But we have just

325
00:13:53,908 --> 00:13:56,988
Speaker 7: not seen anything from him throwing from the pocket. He's

326
00:13:56,988 --> 00:14:00,228
Speaker 7: got a live arm. We've seen that. That's in your underwear,

327
00:14:00,268 --> 00:14:02,268
Speaker 7: that's in front of the scouts. What happens when you

328
00:14:02,308 --> 00:14:05,148
Speaker 7: got you know, Grady Jarrett at your at your feet,

329
00:14:05,388 --> 00:14:06,948
Speaker 7: you know, and you have to step up and make

330
00:14:06,948 --> 00:14:09,988
Speaker 7: a throw on third and thirteen to extend a drive. Right,

331
00:14:10,108 --> 00:14:13,028
Speaker 7: we haven't seen that happen preseason doesn't necessarily give you that.

332
00:14:13,588 --> 00:14:16,268
Speaker 7: So if they have something scripted for him during the year,

333
00:14:16,308 --> 00:14:18,828
Speaker 7: maybe Shane hasn't come in and do a couple series

334
00:14:18,868 --> 00:14:20,948
Speaker 7: here so you can get that. Does that take away

335
00:14:20,988 --> 00:14:23,068
Speaker 7: from the momentum or they understanding that this might be

336
00:14:23,108 --> 00:14:25,708
Speaker 7: a year where we will not quantify this season as

337
00:14:25,748 --> 00:14:27,868
Speaker 7: a success with wins and losses. That's hard to do

338
00:14:27,908 --> 00:14:30,268
Speaker 7: at the NFL level, but it's something that you really

339
00:14:30,308 --> 00:14:32,148
Speaker 7: have to invest in. I think Jim Mersey has given

340
00:14:32,148 --> 00:14:34,268
Speaker 7: the keys to Shane Steiken to maybe do that with

341
00:14:34,308 --> 00:14:35,068
Speaker 7: the young quarterback.

342
00:14:35,148 --> 00:14:35,308
Speaker 8: Yeah.

343
00:14:35,388 --> 00:14:37,388
Speaker 6: Ryan, I love what you said about the plan because

344
00:14:37,708 --> 00:14:40,268
Speaker 6: it was so important to see where Anthony's Richardson win

345
00:14:40,268 --> 00:14:42,508
Speaker 6: in this draft process, because, like you said, there are

346
00:14:42,508 --> 00:14:44,948
Speaker 6: some places where guys are set up to fail. I

347
00:14:44,988 --> 00:14:47,028
Speaker 6: think that the cults are a great spot for him

348
00:14:47,148 --> 00:14:48,908
Speaker 6: because of what you just mentioned with Shane Steike, and

349
00:14:48,988 --> 00:14:51,948
Speaker 6: he's been with the Jalen Hurts, who had similar questions

350
00:14:51,988 --> 00:14:54,508
Speaker 6: coming out of college. Is he accurate enough to be

351
00:14:54,628 --> 00:14:56,748
Speaker 6: that passer? Is he a running back? That's the quote

352
00:14:56,828 --> 00:14:59,268
Speaker 6: unquote notion that they that people want to give these

353
00:14:59,348 --> 00:15:02,228
Speaker 6: quarterbacks who have struggles with that. Well, Anthony Richardson has

354
00:15:02,308 --> 00:15:04,828
Speaker 6: some of the qualities. He just needs experience. So I

355
00:15:04,828 --> 00:15:08,228
Speaker 6: think it's a huge deal that Jim Mercey is saying

356
00:15:08,268 --> 00:15:11,068
Speaker 6: what he's saying. When you watch Anthony Richardson last year

357
00:15:11,068 --> 00:15:14,828
Speaker 6: in college, he started off slow, zero touchdowns, four interceptions

358
00:15:14,868 --> 00:15:18,868
Speaker 6: in his first three games. The last nine games seventeen touchdowns,

359
00:15:18,868 --> 00:15:21,308
Speaker 6: five interceptions. What do you know, Guys get better with

360
00:15:21,388 --> 00:15:24,228
Speaker 6: more reps. And so this is about twenty twenty four

361
00:15:24,308 --> 00:15:26,988
Speaker 6: through twenty thirty nine, not twenty twenty three. And so

362
00:15:27,228 --> 00:15:30,148
Speaker 6: I think that from week one, Anthony Richardson has to start.

363
00:15:30,388 --> 00:15:32,108
Speaker 6: And you look at a situation with the Colts. You

364
00:15:32,148 --> 00:15:34,388
Speaker 6: guys are talking about the different quarterbacks. This will be

365
00:15:34,428 --> 00:15:37,188
Speaker 6: the seventh different Week one starter for the Colts since

366
00:15:37,188 --> 00:15:40,708
Speaker 6: twenty seventeen, seven different starters. So it's time to get

367
00:15:40,708 --> 00:15:43,748
Speaker 6: off the bicycle and commit to your guy, which they've done.

368
00:15:43,948 --> 00:15:46,228
Speaker 6: Anthony Richardson wants to be great. I spent some time

369
00:15:46,268 --> 00:15:47,228
Speaker 6: with him this offseason.

370
00:15:47,388 --> 00:15:47,788
Speaker 8: He told me.

371
00:15:47,868 --> 00:15:49,308
Speaker 6: I asked him, what do you wanted to coach? He said,

372
00:15:49,308 --> 00:15:51,988
Speaker 6: don't baby me, be hard On. I want to get

373
00:15:51,988 --> 00:15:53,788
Speaker 6: the most out of me. I want to be great,

374
00:15:53,948 --> 00:15:56,068
Speaker 6: and he's like, I can take it. And he's a

375
00:15:56,108 --> 00:15:58,708
Speaker 6: guy who is best when he's comfortable, best when he's

376
00:15:58,748 --> 00:16:01,628
Speaker 6: having fun, and so create a system around him. It

377
00:16:01,668 --> 00:16:04,508
Speaker 6: may not look like you're quintessential NFL offense from year one.

378
00:16:04,668 --> 00:16:07,148
Speaker 6: That's fine. You grow into it like Josh Allen did.

379
00:16:07,188 --> 00:16:09,268
Speaker 6: You grow into it like Jalen Hurts did, and maybe,

380
00:16:09,308 --> 00:16:10,988
Speaker 6: just maybe you get a superstar at the end of it.

381
00:16:11,028 --> 00:16:12,868
Speaker 7: You want to have success. You want to have a

382
00:16:12,908 --> 00:16:15,628
Speaker 7: confidence built up for a rookie quarterback. Look what Chicago

383
00:16:15,748 --> 00:16:18,588
Speaker 7: did with Justin Fields last year. Yeah, you know, they

384
00:16:19,228 --> 00:16:22,068
Speaker 7: really put the offense around what he did well. So

385
00:16:22,308 --> 00:16:24,588
Speaker 7: when the season ended, when the season was going along,

386
00:16:24,588 --> 00:16:28,068
Speaker 7: when they weren't winning football games, the quarterback of the future.

387
00:16:27,748 --> 00:16:28,588
Speaker 8: Was having success.

388
00:16:29,748 --> 00:16:31,748
Speaker 7: Now that's exactly the kind of plan I want in

389
00:16:31,748 --> 00:16:35,708
Speaker 7: place for someone like you know, Anthony Richardson to have success,

390
00:16:36,108 --> 00:16:38,268
Speaker 7: have some confidence going into and then you can address

391
00:16:38,308 --> 00:16:40,028
Speaker 7: the things you need to in the off season, just

392
00:16:40,068 --> 00:16:42,588
Speaker 7: like Jalen Hurts did. Just like Justin Fields I believe

393
00:16:42,628 --> 00:16:45,188
Speaker 7: did this offseason and we can expect big things from him.

394
00:16:45,268 --> 00:16:46,988
Speaker 7: So those are the types of plans you want to

395
00:16:46,988 --> 00:16:48,788
Speaker 7: see put in place, and I think teams are getting

396
00:16:48,788 --> 00:16:51,388
Speaker 7: better about it. I think they're understanding that there's some

397
00:16:51,428 --> 00:16:53,788
Speaker 7: ownership on their part, there's some accountability on their part,

398
00:16:53,908 --> 00:16:56,508
Speaker 7: not just to hey, you know, pick one flippantly and

399
00:16:56,548 --> 00:16:58,148
Speaker 7: then if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out.

400
00:16:58,148 --> 00:16:58,508
Speaker 8: We move on.

401
00:16:58,588 --> 00:17:00,708
Speaker 7: We don't care about what the trash heap looks like

402
00:17:00,748 --> 00:17:02,108
Speaker 7: when we're all done with it, you know. And I

403
00:17:02,108 --> 00:17:05,148
Speaker 7: think I think that's an important facet to to when

404
00:17:05,148 --> 00:17:06,948
Speaker 7: you draft somebody that high, when you put those types

405
00:17:06,988 --> 00:17:09,268
Speaker 7: of expectations on them, how do you.

406
00:17:09,268 --> 00:17:13,308
Speaker 3: Marry the don't baby them, build up their confidence when

407
00:17:13,308 --> 00:17:15,868
Speaker 3: they come to you in the defensive realm and say,

408
00:17:15,908 --> 00:17:18,828
Speaker 3: we need to have you guys, especially the veterans, get

409
00:17:18,868 --> 00:17:20,868
Speaker 3: this guy prepared for what he's going to see across

410
00:17:20,908 --> 00:17:21,828
Speaker 3: the line of scrummage.

411
00:17:21,828 --> 00:17:22,948
Speaker 4: What sort of conversations do.

412
00:17:22,988 --> 00:17:26,908
Speaker 3: They have with you guys getting that QB ready for

413
00:17:26,908 --> 00:17:27,348
Speaker 3: the season.

414
00:17:27,908 --> 00:17:29,908
Speaker 9: I think just the time you spend in training camp,

415
00:17:29,948 --> 00:17:33,148
Speaker 9: you know, competing against them and showing them different looks,

416
00:17:33,188 --> 00:17:34,748
Speaker 9: you know, from the defensive side of the ball, and

417
00:17:35,068 --> 00:17:37,228
Speaker 9: really just an add impression to we can't hit him

418
00:17:37,228 --> 00:17:39,948
Speaker 9: and stuff at practice obviously, but you know, just the

419
00:17:39,948 --> 00:17:41,908
Speaker 9: way they can feel they move away around the pocket

420
00:17:41,908 --> 00:17:43,788
Speaker 9: and stuff like that. But you know, it's definitely a

421
00:17:43,788 --> 00:17:45,828
Speaker 9: big deal that the owner said that because you spend

422
00:17:45,828 --> 00:17:48,028
Speaker 9: a draft pick that high, you want them on the field,

423
00:17:48,068 --> 00:17:49,588
Speaker 9: you know, and as a rookie you only get better

424
00:17:49,588 --> 00:17:51,748
Speaker 9: by playing, you know. So he gonna have some leeway,

425
00:17:51,788 --> 00:17:53,348
Speaker 9: you know, to be able to make mistakes here and there,

426
00:17:53,428 --> 00:17:55,028
Speaker 9: but he also gonna have some big plays you know

427
00:17:55,068 --> 00:17:57,108
Speaker 9: that he gonna make, and that's what they drafted them for.

428
00:17:57,228 --> 00:17:58,948
Speaker 9: So but you you got to take the good with

429
00:17:58,988 --> 00:18:00,748
Speaker 9: the bad, you know. When you give give them a chance.

430
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:01,468
Speaker 9: The keys that early.

431
00:18:01,628 --> 00:18:03,988
Speaker 6: Grady, real quick question for you if you're in this

432
00:18:04,068 --> 00:18:06,828
Speaker 6: locker if you're in the colts locker room, does locker

433
00:18:06,908 --> 00:18:08,868
Speaker 6: room have any say? Does they have any opinions of

434
00:18:08,908 --> 00:18:11,708
Speaker 6: like at this stage, I would rather see the young

435
00:18:11,748 --> 00:18:13,828
Speaker 6: fellow or I'd rather see Gardner if he's better.

436
00:18:14,188 --> 00:18:15,268
Speaker 8: Right, Just a good question.

437
00:18:15,308 --> 00:18:17,148
Speaker 9: By at the end of the day, whatever the organizations

438
00:18:17,188 --> 00:18:19,508
Speaker 9: had to do, you gotta support. And that's really important

439
00:18:19,588 --> 00:18:22,148
Speaker 9: to let the quarterback whoever they do choose, know that

440
00:18:22,348 --> 00:18:24,788
Speaker 9: the locker room has they support and because you don't

441
00:18:24,788 --> 00:18:26,788
Speaker 9: want any strife, and you know because at the end

442
00:18:26,788 --> 00:18:28,028
Speaker 9: of the day, it's gonna go how it's gonna go.

443
00:18:28,348 --> 00:18:31,188
Speaker 9: And as a player, whatever position that you're in, your

444
00:18:31,228 --> 00:18:34,028
Speaker 9: best thing to do is being the best you you

445
00:18:34,068 --> 00:18:35,988
Speaker 9: can be what you got to do for your own job.

446
00:18:36,068 --> 00:18:38,228
Speaker 9: And the best thing to do is support the guy

447
00:18:38,228 --> 00:18:39,748
Speaker 9: who's going to be the head of the team. But

448
00:18:39,788 --> 00:18:41,308
Speaker 9: being the quarterback, you know what I'm saying, no matter

449
00:18:41,348 --> 00:18:42,748
Speaker 9: if it's the rookie or the vet, you know what

450
00:18:42,788 --> 00:18:45,028
Speaker 9: I'm saying. So the training camp, everything work all that

451
00:18:45,108 --> 00:18:47,468
Speaker 9: out and I'm sure that they'll trust whatever decision they make.

452
00:18:47,628 --> 00:18:49,708
Speaker 3: Isn't this kind of what we saw in Miami though,

453
00:18:49,908 --> 00:18:52,348
Speaker 3: Ryan Fitzpatrick and Kyler Murray there was sort of this

454
00:18:52,468 --> 00:18:55,748
Speaker 3: delicate dance of we need Kyler to start.

455
00:18:55,948 --> 00:18:57,468
Speaker 4: We don't know if he's necessarily ready.

456
00:18:57,628 --> 00:18:59,708
Speaker 3: That's why it's so important, I think to get the

457
00:18:59,788 --> 00:19:02,348
Speaker 3: right guy behind him. I mean, Ryan Fitzpatrick, I think

458
00:19:02,468 --> 00:19:04,668
Speaker 3: was great and you obviously cover this team, so I'm

459
00:19:04,668 --> 00:19:06,988
Speaker 3: curious your thoughts. But then just to have a guy

460
00:19:07,028 --> 00:19:09,908
Speaker 3: like Gardner Minshew who has been in Jacksonville, then he

461
00:19:09,948 --> 00:19:12,828
Speaker 3: went to Philadelphia, now he's with the Colts and he's

462
00:19:12,908 --> 00:19:15,068
Speaker 3: proven that you can put Gardner Minshew out there if

463
00:19:15,108 --> 00:19:17,788
Speaker 3: you need him. Are you seeing some similarities here? And

464
00:19:17,828 --> 00:19:19,788
Speaker 3: even Ryan weighing in on kind of this situation.

465
00:19:19,908 --> 00:19:22,068
Speaker 6: Yeah, So that situation was a little different because Tool

466
00:19:22,148 --> 00:19:24,068
Speaker 6: was coming off that major injury, and so it's the

467
00:19:24,108 --> 00:19:26,388
Speaker 6: balance of how quickly do you put him back up?

468
00:19:26,388 --> 00:19:27,628
Speaker 6: Oh no, it's all good as early.

469
00:19:27,468 --> 00:19:27,908
Speaker 8: In the morning.

470
00:19:28,268 --> 00:19:30,228
Speaker 6: How quickly do you put him back on the field

471
00:19:30,308 --> 00:19:32,308
Speaker 6: after that major hip injury? And you also have a

472
00:19:32,348 --> 00:19:34,748
Speaker 6: guy like Ryan Fitzpatrick who's done it and he's a

473
00:19:34,748 --> 00:19:38,428
Speaker 6: beloved guy, Like it's hard to not like Ryan Fitzpatrick.

474
00:19:38,468 --> 00:19:40,868
Speaker 6: And so that's why I asked you that question, because

475
00:19:41,028 --> 00:19:43,108
Speaker 6: the other element is you don't want to lie to

476
00:19:43,148 --> 00:19:44,948
Speaker 6: your locker room. You don't want to see them all

477
00:19:44,988 --> 00:19:48,148
Speaker 6: go through training camp and this guy's clearly, clearly the

478
00:19:48,148 --> 00:19:50,388
Speaker 6: better guy, and you're like, hey, we're gonna do us,

479
00:19:50,468 --> 00:19:52,468
Speaker 6: we're gonna do the best for the team, and then

480
00:19:52,508 --> 00:19:54,948
Speaker 6: you start the guy who's worse. And so I don't

481
00:19:55,148 --> 00:19:56,668
Speaker 6: not saying that's the way an endy, but I think

482
00:19:56,708 --> 00:19:59,228
Speaker 6: that's an interesting balance. Now, what I will say about

483
00:19:59,228 --> 00:20:01,588
Speaker 6: Anthony Richardson, and I'll let you kind of piggyback here.

484
00:20:01,988 --> 00:20:03,868
Speaker 6: A lot of the narrative on him is that he's raw,

485
00:20:03,908 --> 00:20:06,348
Speaker 6: and he is, He's very raw, But I think there's

486
00:20:07,308 --> 00:20:10,068
Speaker 6: a narrative that he's broken as a prospect and got

487
00:20:10,068 --> 00:20:11,748
Speaker 6: to pick him up from the ground down. No, this

488
00:20:11,788 --> 00:20:14,388
Speaker 6: guy's got a lot of pure quarterback in him. A

489
00:20:14,388 --> 00:20:17,788
Speaker 6: lot of his issues are footwork, repeated reps help in

490
00:20:17,868 --> 00:20:20,388
Speaker 6: that avenue. A lot of his issues are okay, what

491
00:20:20,468 --> 00:20:22,708
Speaker 6: do I do in a certain situation, And a lot

492
00:20:22,708 --> 00:20:25,388
Speaker 6: of that comes through game reps. And so I talked

493
00:20:25,428 --> 00:20:27,388
Speaker 6: to some executives in the draft process who said, we

494
00:20:27,388 --> 00:20:30,108
Speaker 6: get him on the board. He's actually very smart. He

495
00:20:30,268 --> 00:20:32,708
Speaker 6: knows football. He just needs to be out there on

496
00:20:32,748 --> 00:20:35,508
Speaker 6: the field. Now, it's not a guarantee that he becomes

497
00:20:35,508 --> 00:20:38,388
Speaker 6: this elite quarterback, but he has the traits, he has

498
00:20:38,428 --> 00:20:41,228
Speaker 6: the intelligence, he has the ability to work and willingness

499
00:20:41,308 --> 00:20:41,948
Speaker 6: to work for that.

500
00:20:42,108 --> 00:20:44,428
Speaker 8: And so I've got all the ingredients.

501
00:20:44,028 --> 00:20:45,468
Speaker 6: And now I need to see on the field what

502
00:20:45,508 --> 00:20:45,988
Speaker 6: it looks like.

503
00:20:46,388 --> 00:20:48,748
Speaker 7: And the fact that Gardner Minshew was in this offense

504
00:20:48,748 --> 00:20:50,468
Speaker 7: for the last two years, I think is going to

505
00:20:50,468 --> 00:20:52,868
Speaker 7: be beneficial. He understands it if asked to go do

506
00:20:52,908 --> 00:20:57,348
Speaker 7: something to help coach Anthony Richardson. Gardner is a practical person.

507
00:20:57,388 --> 00:20:59,908
Speaker 7: He's pragmatic enough to understand that, hey, I can be

508
00:20:59,948 --> 00:21:01,948
Speaker 7: a starting quarterback in this league if asked to be,

509
00:21:02,228 --> 00:21:03,588
Speaker 7: But what my job is going to be and if

510
00:21:03,628 --> 00:21:06,068
Speaker 7: I want to have a successful long career probably twenty

511
00:21:06,108 --> 00:21:08,268
Speaker 7: years doing exactly what I'm going to be doing here.

512
00:21:08,348 --> 00:21:09,908
Speaker 7: The best thing that ever happened for me, and it

513
00:21:09,948 --> 00:21:13,468
Speaker 7: didn't happen until year three, was Jim Harbaugh coming in

514
00:21:13,468 --> 00:21:15,708
Speaker 7: as my backup quarterback in San Diego.

515
00:21:15,388 --> 00:21:16,428
Speaker 8: My rookie year.

516
00:21:16,548 --> 00:21:18,188
Speaker 7: There was a talk that Warren Moon was going to

517
00:21:18,228 --> 00:21:21,148
Speaker 7: be brought in who had sat in Kevin Gilbride's offense

518
00:21:21,548 --> 00:21:24,148
Speaker 7: and learned and did everything so well in Houston with them,

519
00:21:24,148 --> 00:21:25,468
Speaker 7: And it would have been such a benefit for me

520
00:21:25,508 --> 00:21:27,468
Speaker 7: to have Warren Moon as as that mentor.

521
00:21:27,668 --> 00:21:30,028
Speaker 8: No, we went with two quarterbacks that year and it

522
00:21:30,108 --> 00:21:31,388
Speaker 8: was just a bad deal.

523
00:21:31,428 --> 00:21:34,748
Speaker 7: But when Jim Harbaugh walked in, he competed his tailoff

524
00:21:34,788 --> 00:21:37,628
Speaker 7: against me in camp, and then once I won the job,

525
00:21:37,828 --> 00:21:39,988
Speaker 7: dude showed who he was as a coach too, Like

526
00:21:40,028 --> 00:21:42,388
Speaker 7: he grabbed me and he brought me along and showed

527
00:21:42,388 --> 00:21:44,468
Speaker 7: me how to be a professional quarterback. And that was

528
00:21:44,588 --> 00:21:46,828
Speaker 7: just in my case, maybe a little too little, too late.

529
00:21:47,068 --> 00:21:49,988
Speaker 7: Right now, Ar's got someone like Gardner Minshew right there,

530
00:21:49,988 --> 00:21:51,988
Speaker 7: Shane Stekeen who's coached Hi up the last couple of years.

531
00:21:51,988 --> 00:21:53,388
Speaker 7: I think that's a really good benefit.

532
00:21:53,708 --> 00:21:56,308
Speaker 3: Like Jing was saying, all right, we're gonna do a

533
00:21:56,308 --> 00:22:00,348
Speaker 3: little story time here with Grady Jarrett, because as we

534
00:22:00,348 --> 00:22:03,748
Speaker 3: were heading in the right we were asking, man, that's Super

535
00:22:03,788 --> 00:22:04,388
Speaker 3: Bowl in Houston.

536
00:22:05,348 --> 00:22:07,188
Speaker 4: How much does it linger? You know, you've been playing this.

537
00:22:07,148 --> 00:22:09,628
Speaker 3: League for over eight years, and that had to bend

538
00:22:09,708 --> 00:22:12,908
Speaker 3: both the highlights and maybe one of the low lights.

539
00:22:12,628 --> 00:22:13,268
Speaker 4: Of your career.

540
00:22:13,748 --> 00:22:16,428
Speaker 3: How did you chalk it up immediately after and then

541
00:22:16,428 --> 00:22:17,948
Speaker 3: how do you look at it now with a little

542
00:22:18,428 --> 00:22:20,268
Speaker 3: a little of it being in the rear view mirror.

543
00:22:20,468 --> 00:22:23,188
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, it's definitely one of them things where

544
00:22:23,348 --> 00:22:24,788
Speaker 9: you know, you go out there, you have a personal

545
00:22:24,948 --> 00:22:26,508
Speaker 9: you know, good game and then but at the end

546
00:22:26,508 --> 00:22:28,428
Speaker 9: of the day, to go to get championship is win,

547
00:22:28,588 --> 00:22:29,068
Speaker 9: win the game.

548
00:22:29,108 --> 00:22:30,188
Speaker 8: And then the way way it went.

549
00:22:30,068 --> 00:22:32,068
Speaker 9: Down was just it's being It was painful, you know

550
00:22:32,108 --> 00:22:34,908
Speaker 9: what I'm saying, and still still burns to this day.

551
00:22:34,948 --> 00:22:36,388
Speaker 9: But at the end of the day, I'm still playing.

552
00:22:36,428 --> 00:22:38,628
Speaker 9: I still have an opportunity to go compete for a championship,

553
00:22:38,708 --> 00:22:41,148
Speaker 9: So that fire of, you know, going out like that,

554
00:22:41,188 --> 00:22:43,348
Speaker 9: it makes me push to even chase for another one

555
00:22:43,548 --> 00:22:45,468
Speaker 9: now going into the future, still with the with the

556
00:22:45,508 --> 00:22:46,988
Speaker 9: team that I was with when I was in the

557
00:22:47,028 --> 00:22:47,668
Speaker 9: first of the Bowl.

558
00:22:47,708 --> 00:22:49,388
Speaker 8: But it's just go to.

559
00:22:49,348 --> 00:22:51,148
Speaker 9: Show you when you up, you got to finish things,

560
00:22:51,148 --> 00:22:54,428
Speaker 9: you know, and you can't never think that that you

561
00:22:54,428 --> 00:22:55,588
Speaker 9: you arrived.

562
00:22:55,268 --> 00:22:56,788
Speaker 8: And you always got to finish to do the work.

563
00:22:56,868 --> 00:22:59,268
Speaker 9: But I definitely was proud of myself and my teammates

564
00:22:59,308 --> 00:23:00,788
Speaker 9: just to make it their end to go put up

565
00:23:00,828 --> 00:23:03,348
Speaker 9: a good fight against you know, one of the best

566
00:23:03,348 --> 00:23:05,188
Speaker 9: teams of franchises that the NFL.

567
00:23:04,908 --> 00:23:08,628
Speaker 8: Has has has seen. So it definitely still stings. Though

568
00:23:08,708 --> 00:23:09,388
Speaker 8: definitely still.

569
00:23:09,268 --> 00:23:13,588
Speaker 6: Think Twitter's favorite joke obviously is twenty eight three does

570
00:23:13,588 --> 00:23:13,988
Speaker 6: it still?

571
00:23:14,068 --> 00:23:15,268
Speaker 8: Does it still bother you?

572
00:23:15,308 --> 00:23:19,148
Speaker 6: Like when you hear that reference from whether it's fans

573
00:23:19,308 --> 00:23:20,948
Speaker 6: or another team.

574
00:23:21,028 --> 00:23:23,908
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, you know, I mean it's you. Definitely

575
00:23:23,948 --> 00:23:25,748
Speaker 9: bother you. You know, it bothers you. But I mean

576
00:23:25,988 --> 00:23:27,948
Speaker 9: they got to come with something, getting old man.

577
00:23:30,268 --> 00:23:36,708
Speaker 8: Material. Hey don't. Yeah, they're gonna do it, you know,

578
00:23:36,748 --> 00:23:37,948
Speaker 8: But that's what that's what it's about. You know what

579
00:23:37,988 --> 00:23:40,108
Speaker 8: I'm saying. It's all good, but we're gonna hide up.

580
00:23:40,708 --> 00:23:41,308
Speaker 8: I'm still playing.

581
00:23:41,348 --> 00:23:43,028
Speaker 9: I got the opportunity to change the narrative, you know,

582
00:23:43,188 --> 00:23:45,428
Speaker 9: and go back to work and get there and try

583
00:23:45,468 --> 00:23:47,628
Speaker 9: to finish the job when that time come. And uh

584
00:23:47,668 --> 00:23:49,548
Speaker 9: so I'm excited. I'm excited. I'mnna use that just to

585
00:23:49,548 --> 00:23:50,068
Speaker 9: motivate me.

586
00:23:50,148 --> 00:23:50,668
Speaker 8: Absolutely.

587
00:23:50,668 --> 00:23:52,628
Speaker 7: When did you when did you know in that game

588
00:23:53,068 --> 00:23:55,348
Speaker 7: or feel that it was things were kind of starting

589
00:23:55,348 --> 00:23:57,508
Speaker 7: to slip away? Who gonna makes that grab on the

590
00:23:57,548 --> 00:24:00,188
Speaker 7: sideline and you know, you just need a couple more

591
00:24:00,228 --> 00:24:02,428
Speaker 7: plays to maybe salt it away. When when did you

592
00:24:02,468 --> 00:24:04,228
Speaker 7: kind of feel like Tom Brady was starting to rep

593
00:24:04,268 --> 00:24:04,628
Speaker 7: that up?

594
00:24:04,988 --> 00:24:06,788
Speaker 9: You know what I mean as the game was on,

595
00:24:06,868 --> 00:24:08,348
Speaker 9: while we was playing, I never really felt like they

596
00:24:08,348 --> 00:24:10,228
Speaker 9: were gonna come back on win. But a couple of

597
00:24:10,388 --> 00:24:13,308
Speaker 9: things that happened. When they had the sack fumble hot towever,

598
00:24:13,348 --> 00:24:15,708
Speaker 9: that was a great play he made. And then the

599
00:24:16,228 --> 00:24:19,308
Speaker 9: Edelman catch. You know, I remember rushing and turning back

600
00:24:19,308 --> 00:24:20,828
Speaker 9: and looking like, know what he caught that. But then

601
00:24:20,988 --> 00:24:23,028
Speaker 9: it's like reminded me like while I was playing the game,

602
00:24:23,068 --> 00:24:25,308
Speaker 9: like you see all these crazy Super Bowl stories, and

603
00:24:25,348 --> 00:24:27,148
Speaker 9: it just felt like that was a moment, you know

604
00:24:27,188 --> 00:24:29,388
Speaker 9: what I'm saying. You know, as you playing, you like,

605
00:24:29,428 --> 00:24:31,388
Speaker 9: oh my goodness. But I mean, they made some great

606
00:24:31,388 --> 00:24:34,308
Speaker 9: plays man, and crunch time, and you gotta get take

607
00:24:34,348 --> 00:24:35,828
Speaker 9: your hats off to him, you know, you gotta take

608
00:24:35,828 --> 00:24:36,508
Speaker 9: your hats off to him.

609
00:24:36,508 --> 00:24:38,308
Speaker 8: You gotta call it what it is. And we should

610
00:24:38,308 --> 00:24:39,588
Speaker 8: have finished the game better, but we did.

611
00:24:39,908 --> 00:24:42,108
Speaker 6: That game was so wild. You guys played so great

612
00:24:42,148 --> 00:24:44,548
Speaker 6: on defense. I was covering that game writing for the

613
00:24:44,548 --> 00:24:46,788
Speaker 6: Dinner Post at the time. I remember the Robert Alford

614
00:24:47,068 --> 00:24:49,748
Speaker 6: pick six. It was twenty one nothing in the second quarter.

615
00:24:49,828 --> 00:24:52,788
Speaker 6: I had had a pre ridden Robert Alford is the

616
00:24:52,788 --> 00:24:55,428
Speaker 6: hero of this story, you know, taking over the goat

617
00:24:55,508 --> 00:24:59,948
Speaker 6: tom Brady. This defense played great, you guys, amazing first half,

618
00:25:00,148 --> 00:25:02,108
Speaker 6: and then Tom Brady just turned it off the second.

619
00:25:02,188 --> 00:25:04,188
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah. They had the ball a lot of

620
00:25:04,188 --> 00:25:06,148
Speaker 9: red the last the second half manning. But the thing

621
00:25:06,228 --> 00:25:08,388
Speaker 9: we played over is like one hundred plays with light

622
00:25:08,548 --> 00:25:09,308
Speaker 9: ninety pouts.

623
00:25:10,228 --> 00:25:12,708
Speaker 4: And then it was over. And this break is over,

624
00:25:12,828 --> 00:25:15,108
Speaker 4: so we're gonna quickly over. This segment's over, so we're

625
00:25:15,108 --> 00:25:15,988
Speaker 4: gonna quickly get a break.

626
00:25:15,988 --> 00:25:16,708
Speaker 8: We'll be right back.

627
00:25:28,308 --> 00:25:29,828
Speaker 2: Good morning football.

628
00:25:30,788 --> 00:25:34,348
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers hasn't been exactly skipping the weight room since

629
00:25:34,348 --> 00:25:36,988
Speaker 3: he's arrived in New York. Check him out here, the

630
00:25:37,068 --> 00:25:41,028
Speaker 3: four time MVP who will be forty in December, looking

631
00:25:41,148 --> 00:25:41,948
Speaker 3: fitter than ever.

632
00:25:42,068 --> 00:25:44,668
Speaker 4: All right, here's what Jet's corner Sauce Gardner.

633
00:25:44,268 --> 00:25:47,068
Speaker 3: Had to say about being the reigning defensive Rookie of

634
00:25:47,108 --> 00:25:49,268
Speaker 3: the Year, saying, quote, it was pretty cool, you know,

635
00:25:49,908 --> 00:25:52,428
Speaker 3: like always, you always have something to work on. I

636
00:25:52,428 --> 00:25:54,308
Speaker 3: got a lot of things I can work on that's

637
00:25:54,308 --> 00:25:56,348
Speaker 3: going to get better coming into my second season.

638
00:25:56,908 --> 00:25:58,468
Speaker 4: I had a pretty good year.

639
00:25:59,268 --> 00:26:01,828
Speaker 3: This is what a pretty good year look like for

640
00:26:01,948 --> 00:26:04,988
Speaker 3: Gardner in man coverage has the primary defense recording to

641
00:26:05,028 --> 00:26:06,068
Speaker 3: Pro Football Focus.

642
00:26:06,468 --> 00:26:08,988
Speaker 4: Let's first look at the receiving yards allowed. He is

643
00:26:09,348 --> 00:26:10,028
Speaker 4: number one there.

644
00:26:10,388 --> 00:26:13,988
Speaker 3: Now he's tied for first and receiving touchdowns allowed with zero,

645
00:26:14,628 --> 00:26:17,828
Speaker 3: second and opponent passer rating, and first in yards per

646
00:26:18,108 --> 00:26:21,348
Speaker 3: target allowed. So Aaron Rodgers is not only blessed with

647
00:26:21,388 --> 00:26:25,228
Speaker 3: now the defensive Rookie of the Year, but he also

648
00:26:25,348 --> 00:26:26,988
Speaker 3: has the offensive.

649
00:26:26,548 --> 00:26:29,508
Speaker 4: Rookie of the Year and Garrett Wilson. Is that enough?

650
00:26:29,628 --> 00:26:31,228
Speaker 4: I feel like we're being a little greedy here.

651
00:26:31,428 --> 00:26:34,548
Speaker 3: What else can You've got the raining MVP, You've got

652
00:26:34,668 --> 00:26:37,588
Speaker 3: these two guys, But is that enough for Aaron Rodgers

653
00:26:37,588 --> 00:26:38,188
Speaker 3: to get it and died?

654
00:26:38,228 --> 00:26:40,428
Speaker 4: You've brought this up yesterday. Still the Jets.

655
00:26:40,668 --> 00:26:43,068
Speaker 7: It's still the Jets, okay, and they haven't won anything.

656
00:26:43,268 --> 00:26:45,108
Speaker 7: Jets fans came back at me Yester to say that

657
00:26:45,148 --> 00:26:46,188
Speaker 7: Bills haven't won anything.

658
00:26:46,188 --> 00:26:46,628
Speaker 8: That's true.

659
00:26:46,628 --> 00:26:48,748
Speaker 7: Bills have won the chance have won the conference or

660
00:26:48,788 --> 00:26:50,988
Speaker 7: the division the last three years, so that's something in

661
00:26:51,068 --> 00:26:53,268
Speaker 7: all of this. I like what they did. They've drafted well.

662
00:26:53,348 --> 00:26:55,588
Speaker 7: Last year's draft or two years ago, their draft was

663
00:26:55,868 --> 00:26:57,508
Speaker 7: as good as you could have gotten. They bring in

664
00:26:57,548 --> 00:27:00,708
Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers this year. He gets to match with Garrett Wilson,

665
00:27:00,748 --> 00:27:03,588
Speaker 7: and then they bring in some of his guys that

666
00:27:03,628 --> 00:27:06,148
Speaker 7: were on his list down Bazar Randall Cobb. I'd like

667
00:27:06,228 --> 00:27:09,228
Speaker 7: the Mikle Hardman signing too. I think he is a

668
00:27:09,668 --> 00:27:12,148
Speaker 7: underrated slot receiver who can do some really things on

669
00:27:12,308 --> 00:27:15,188
Speaker 7: the edge and give Aaron Rodgers something else. You had

670
00:27:15,348 --> 00:27:17,588
Speaker 7: Breese Hall, if he's healthy enough after his injury from

671
00:27:17,628 --> 00:27:19,788
Speaker 7: a year ago. I would have liked to have seen

672
00:27:19,868 --> 00:27:21,428
Speaker 7: and I think it would have gone a long way

673
00:27:21,788 --> 00:27:24,908
Speaker 7: if the Jets with that first round draft pick simply

674
00:27:24,948 --> 00:27:26,948
Speaker 7: stepped up and did something that Green Bay had never

675
00:27:27,148 --> 00:27:29,908
Speaker 7: done for him and grab him a skill position player

676
00:27:29,948 --> 00:27:32,588
Speaker 7: in the first round. Let's say a wide receiver when

677
00:27:32,628 --> 00:27:34,828
Speaker 7: you had a chance to go get Jackson Smith and

678
00:27:34,908 --> 00:27:37,748
Speaker 7: jigg bet that spot, or Dalton Kincaid out of Utah

679
00:27:38,108 --> 00:27:40,268
Speaker 7: as the tight end where the Bills went and got him,

680
00:27:40,588 --> 00:27:43,188
Speaker 7: jumped ahead of the Cowboys and got a very good

681
00:27:43,348 --> 00:27:45,508
Speaker 7: hybrid type tight end there. I would have liked to

682
00:27:45,548 --> 00:27:47,668
Speaker 7: see that they went and got a defensive end from

683
00:27:48,068 --> 00:27:50,028
Speaker 7: Iowa State. I don't think he's probably going to make

684
00:27:50,028 --> 00:27:52,108
Speaker 7: a huge impact on this team this year where this

685
00:27:52,268 --> 00:27:54,468
Speaker 7: could have been the expectations.

686
00:27:53,908 --> 00:27:54,548
Speaker 8: Are through the roof.

687
00:27:54,628 --> 00:27:56,628
Speaker 7: I think they have the skilled position players. It all

688
00:27:56,668 --> 00:27:58,948
Speaker 7: comes down to whether or not the offensive line, which

689
00:27:58,948 --> 00:28:02,308
Speaker 7: has been much maligned injury wise, how they come together

690
00:28:02,628 --> 00:28:05,748
Speaker 7: and protect you know, an MVP caliber quarterback in Aaron

691
00:28:05,828 --> 00:28:07,828
Speaker 7: Rodgers who is forty years old.

692
00:28:07,868 --> 00:28:09,788
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's the biggest question about this Jets team.

693
00:28:09,828 --> 00:28:11,948
Speaker 6: I like their receiving group. Gary Wilson is going to

694
00:28:11,948 --> 00:28:13,748
Speaker 6: be a star with Aaron Rodgers even taking it to

695
00:28:13,828 --> 00:28:15,988
Speaker 6: that next level. But you mentioned that offensive line. You

696
00:28:16,068 --> 00:28:18,868
Speaker 6: got Makai Beckton, who has missed most the last two seasons,

697
00:28:18,908 --> 00:28:22,108
Speaker 6: only played one game coming off those major knee injuries.

698
00:28:22,268 --> 00:28:24,468
Speaker 6: Now there seems to be like this weird discussion where

699
00:28:24,468 --> 00:28:27,068
Speaker 6: he wants to play left tackle instead of right tackle,

700
00:28:27,108 --> 00:28:29,988
Speaker 6: where he's played. They have a left tackle in Dwayne Brown.

701
00:28:30,188 --> 00:28:32,228
Speaker 6: He'll be thirty eight in August, but he's only played

702
00:28:32,268 --> 00:28:34,348
Speaker 6: left tackle, and so you only have one left tackle.

703
00:28:34,348 --> 00:28:36,068
Speaker 6: They're gonna have to figure that out in training camp.

704
00:28:36,268 --> 00:28:39,708
Speaker 6: Elijah Vera Tucker missed ten games last year, and Breest Hall,

705
00:28:39,828 --> 00:28:41,908
Speaker 6: they're running back, missed much of the year with a

706
00:28:41,988 --> 00:28:44,308
Speaker 6: knee injury, and so what's the health of that group

707
00:28:44,388 --> 00:28:46,988
Speaker 6: going to be. Like Aaron Rodgers seemingly has always had

708
00:28:47,068 --> 00:28:49,708
Speaker 6: a really good run game an offensive line to support him,

709
00:28:49,908 --> 00:28:52,908
Speaker 6: and so I'm not worried about the receivers. With Aaron Rodgers,

710
00:28:53,068 --> 00:28:55,188
Speaker 6: I'm worried about the trenches. And when you got a

711
00:28:55,228 --> 00:28:57,908
Speaker 6: guy like Grady coming after you, you know, I don't

712
00:28:57,908 --> 00:28:59,868
Speaker 6: care if you're thirty nine year old Aaron Rodgers or

713
00:28:59,908 --> 00:29:02,508
Speaker 6: twenty nine year old Aaron Rodgers. Nobody likes pressure in

714
00:29:02,548 --> 00:29:05,108
Speaker 6: the inside. And so I'm a little right now with

715
00:29:05,188 --> 00:29:07,348
Speaker 6: their offensive line, I think that's the one element that

716
00:29:07,428 --> 00:29:10,348
Speaker 6: could keep them from being that elite flight crew that

717
00:29:10,548 --> 00:29:11,348
Speaker 6: we've been talking about.

718
00:29:11,428 --> 00:29:12,988
Speaker 9: Yeah, so I think they got some good skill like

719
00:29:13,108 --> 00:29:14,868
Speaker 9: you guy said Gary Wilson, and and he had a

720
00:29:15,068 --> 00:29:15,988
Speaker 9: crazy rookie year.

721
00:29:16,108 --> 00:29:18,788
Speaker 8: Guy liked them. Hopefully he's healthy healthy for them.

722
00:29:18,788 --> 00:29:20,788
Speaker 9: As a Breese Hall, the running back, when we went

723
00:29:20,868 --> 00:29:23,348
Speaker 9: up there to practice in the preseason, we practice against

724
00:29:23,348 --> 00:29:25,588
Speaker 9: the jests, and man, he broke out a nice uh.

725
00:29:25,788 --> 00:29:27,388
Speaker 9: I can't remember it was a runner of screenplay, but

726
00:29:27,428 --> 00:29:30,108
Speaker 9: you can see his speed separate and as a rookie

727
00:29:30,148 --> 00:29:31,748
Speaker 9: last year, I mean you could see he was different.

728
00:29:31,828 --> 00:29:33,788
Speaker 9: You know, so if they got him healthy and he

729
00:29:33,908 --> 00:29:37,108
Speaker 9: ready to roll, somebody definitely to help Aaron Rodgers and

730
00:29:37,268 --> 00:29:39,228
Speaker 9: run games so they could have a successful pass game.

731
00:29:39,308 --> 00:29:41,388
Speaker 9: So they got a nice they got a nice, nice

732
00:29:41,388 --> 00:29:41,908
Speaker 9: set of skill.

733
00:29:42,268 --> 00:29:42,428
Speaker 10: You know.

734
00:29:42,468 --> 00:29:44,468
Speaker 3: It's interesting and ran out and if you can speak

735
00:29:44,468 --> 00:29:46,828
Speaker 3: to this, but historically we typically look in the NFL

736
00:29:46,948 --> 00:29:48,748
Speaker 3: and I always felt like just because you had a

737
00:29:48,788 --> 00:29:53,788
Speaker 3: stacked roster didn't exactly result in success. But then Matthew

738
00:29:53,788 --> 00:29:55,828
Speaker 3: Stafford going to the Rams showed us that it can.

739
00:29:56,268 --> 00:29:58,828
Speaker 3: Tom Brady going to the Bucks showed us that you can.

740
00:29:59,628 --> 00:30:01,228
Speaker 3: And they had all of these pieces around you and

741
00:30:01,388 --> 00:30:03,308
Speaker 3: you know, covering the Dallas Cowboys, you know, the biggest

742
00:30:03,468 --> 00:30:09,508
Speaker 3: argument from that front, you don't want to leverage your leverage.

743
00:30:09,228 --> 00:30:10,748
Speaker 4: The now and hurt your future.

744
00:30:10,948 --> 00:30:12,868
Speaker 3: But it seemingly has worked for some of these teams

745
00:30:12,908 --> 00:30:14,748
Speaker 3: and the Jets we've seen are trying to sort of

746
00:30:14,788 --> 00:30:15,668
Speaker 3: follow the blueprint.

747
00:30:15,868 --> 00:30:17,468
Speaker 7: Well, I tell you right now, and it will be

748
00:30:17,828 --> 00:30:20,748
Speaker 7: we'll wait and see what less need and Sean McVay

749
00:30:20,868 --> 00:30:23,268
Speaker 7: do in LA when because news came out this last

750
00:30:23,308 --> 00:30:25,068
Speaker 7: week that Matthew Stafford may have been on the trading

751
00:30:25,108 --> 00:30:27,268
Speaker 7: block this summer, there's a lot of money for somebody

752
00:30:27,308 --> 00:30:29,108
Speaker 7: to try to move and do all that and it

753
00:30:29,148 --> 00:30:32,308
Speaker 7: didn't take place hurt. He's incredibly healthy heading into the season.

754
00:30:32,348 --> 00:30:32,828
Speaker 8: So we'll see.

755
00:30:32,908 --> 00:30:34,548
Speaker 7: What does a record have to look like in the

756
00:30:34,588 --> 00:30:36,228
Speaker 7: first quarter of the season. Are they one in three

757
00:30:36,308 --> 00:30:38,308
Speaker 7: and all of a sudden, now ownership says, Okay, we

758
00:30:38,428 --> 00:30:39,348
Speaker 7: got the championship.

759
00:30:39,388 --> 00:30:40,108
Speaker 8: We did what we did.

760
00:30:40,268 --> 00:30:42,108
Speaker 7: They need them picks right now, all right, they do.

761
00:30:42,548 --> 00:30:45,148
Speaker 7: And so that's an interesting concept. But I tell you

762
00:30:45,308 --> 00:30:47,988
Speaker 7: right now, everybody who's a New York Jets fan or

763
00:30:48,028 --> 00:30:50,908
Speaker 7: who was rooted for the Jets ever will take a

764
00:30:51,388 --> 00:30:54,428
Speaker 7: Super Bowl this year and an absolute, you know, dumpster

765
00:30:54,548 --> 00:30:57,188
Speaker 7: fire mess over the next decade. I guarantee you that

766
00:30:57,348 --> 00:30:59,708
Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers can walk out into the NFL with the

767
00:30:59,828 --> 00:31:02,548
Speaker 7: championship for the New York Jets, he will be as

768
00:31:02,948 --> 00:31:04,348
Speaker 7: big as Broadway Joe.

769
00:31:04,388 --> 00:31:05,068
Speaker 8: Here in New York.

770
00:31:05,148 --> 00:31:06,508
Speaker 4: Can you imagine everything?

771
00:31:06,628 --> 00:31:08,908
Speaker 7: The parade here. I have to then go buy a

772
00:31:09,148 --> 00:31:10,988
Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers jersey and wear it for like a whole

773
00:31:10,988 --> 00:31:13,748
Speaker 7: week on my show, because I've been very adamant about

774
00:31:13,788 --> 00:31:14,428
Speaker 7: I don't think.

775
00:31:14,348 --> 00:31:15,108
Speaker 8: This is gonna work.

776
00:31:15,388 --> 00:31:17,828
Speaker 7: Really, why, I just to your point, I just I

777
00:31:17,948 --> 00:31:20,988
Speaker 7: feel like there's so much baggage that is carried with

778
00:31:21,148 --> 00:31:24,188
Speaker 7: this organization, and they playing in a division that may

779
00:31:24,228 --> 00:31:26,148
Speaker 7: be the best division in all of football. If they

780
00:31:26,188 --> 00:31:28,268
Speaker 7: don't win the division and they have to go on

781
00:31:28,348 --> 00:31:30,308
Speaker 7: the road in the playoffs, Aaron Rodgers is pretty darn

782
00:31:30,388 --> 00:31:33,148
Speaker 7: good at it, but his only championship came all the

783
00:31:33,188 --> 00:31:34,988
Speaker 7: way from the wild card on the road to win

784
00:31:35,068 --> 00:31:38,388
Speaker 7: a championship. But that is incredibly difficult with what this

785
00:31:38,548 --> 00:31:40,868
Speaker 7: AFC has to offer. Because you look at what the

786
00:31:40,988 --> 00:31:43,028
Speaker 7: AFC has to offer, and I was going down this,

787
00:31:43,188 --> 00:31:45,748
Speaker 7: there's probably ten teams that I would have probably a

788
00:31:45,828 --> 00:31:47,708
Speaker 7: good chance to make the playoffs. In the ANFC, there

789
00:31:47,748 --> 00:31:49,588
Speaker 7: are going to be three teams with three quarterbacks that

790
00:31:49,628 --> 00:31:51,228
Speaker 7: you're used to seeing at that time of the year

791
00:31:51,348 --> 00:31:53,268
Speaker 7: that are not going to be playing, and then they're

792
00:31:53,268 --> 00:31:55,468
Speaker 7: gonna be a lot of conversations in the offseason what

793
00:31:55,548 --> 00:31:57,508
Speaker 7: that looks like. It wouldn't surprise me if the Jets

794
00:31:57,508 --> 00:31:59,308
Speaker 7: are one of those teams on the outside looking in,

795
00:31:59,348 --> 00:32:01,988
Speaker 7: it would be incredibly disappointing, but it wouldn't surprise me

796
00:32:02,068 --> 00:32:02,428
Speaker 7: that much.

797
00:32:02,588 --> 00:32:04,668
Speaker 4: Well, it's funny you bring that up, because you know

798
00:32:04,748 --> 00:32:07,468
Speaker 4: the NFC. I felt Aaron Rodgers is sort of the

799
00:32:07,588 --> 00:32:08,508
Speaker 4: king of.

800
00:32:08,788 --> 00:32:09,388
Speaker 8: He had a chance.

801
00:32:09,548 --> 00:32:11,828
Speaker 7: I mean they were number one several two years.

802
00:32:11,748 --> 00:32:12,428
Speaker 4: Several chances.

803
00:32:12,508 --> 00:32:14,548
Speaker 3: But now when you look at this AFC, the younger

804
00:32:14,708 --> 00:32:17,228
Speaker 3: talent that they have, the guys, the Joe Burrows of

805
00:32:17,268 --> 00:32:19,468
Speaker 3: the world, the Josh Allens, I mean go down, the

806
00:32:19,748 --> 00:32:21,268
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes.

807
00:32:21,148 --> 00:32:23,428
Speaker 8: Trevor Lawrence, justin Herbert Russell Wilson.

808
00:32:23,508 --> 00:32:26,068
Speaker 3: The AFC has all of a sudden become the class

809
00:32:26,428 --> 00:32:29,428
Speaker 3: the division that you're worried year after year after year

810
00:32:29,428 --> 00:32:31,308
Speaker 3: after heer It's it's tough.

811
00:32:31,668 --> 00:32:34,028
Speaker 7: You may be one of the best quarterbacks in the

812
00:32:34,068 --> 00:32:36,268
Speaker 7: AFC to ever play over the next decade and end

813
00:32:36,388 --> 00:32:39,188
Speaker 7: up like Dan Marino, where you don't have a championship

814
00:32:39,228 --> 00:32:41,148
Speaker 7: because it was so darn good. You had John l

815
00:32:41,188 --> 00:32:43,788
Speaker 7: Way in the NFC, had Joe Montana at the time,

816
00:32:43,788 --> 00:32:46,428
Speaker 7: and things like that. This is a time for Joe

817
00:32:46,468 --> 00:32:47,908
Speaker 7: Burrow could be one of the best quarterbacks of all

818
00:32:47,948 --> 00:32:50,588
Speaker 7: time in the AFC. And we may look back at

819
00:32:50,588 --> 00:32:52,068
Speaker 7: his second season when they went to the Super Bowl

820
00:32:52,108 --> 00:32:53,628
Speaker 7: and you go, wow, he didn't get back because guess

821
00:32:53,668 --> 00:32:55,428
Speaker 7: what you had tow a tongue of olaw. You had

822
00:32:55,628 --> 00:32:57,868
Speaker 7: Josh Allen, you had those are two guys we didn't

823
00:32:57,868 --> 00:32:58,228
Speaker 7: even mention.

824
00:32:58,308 --> 00:33:00,708
Speaker 3: I mean this, Yeah, this is Laura Sison who kind

825
00:33:00,748 --> 00:33:02,188
Speaker 3: of went through that I think I had done. I

826
00:33:02,268 --> 00:33:04,228
Speaker 3: did an interview with him, and he talked about that

827
00:33:04,388 --> 00:33:06,508
Speaker 3: how hard it was to get there and then to

828
00:33:06,588 --> 00:33:08,828
Speaker 3: not be able to go back. Yeah, and so you

829
00:33:08,988 --> 00:33:10,708
Speaker 3: kind of feel for Joe. But yeah, you know, I

830
00:33:10,788 --> 00:33:12,868
Speaker 3: think of that with Aaron Rodgers as much as we

831
00:33:12,948 --> 00:33:15,068
Speaker 3: talk about all of these pieces that he's got, he

832
00:33:15,188 --> 00:33:16,348
Speaker 3: looked real good in the NFC.

833
00:33:16,628 --> 00:33:19,068
Speaker 7: Look it, and I want you to just do this, everybody,

834
00:33:19,068 --> 00:33:21,868
Speaker 7: all right who followed you go look at their schedule.

835
00:33:22,028 --> 00:33:24,028
Speaker 7: There's a chance, if they're good, they could be eight

836
00:33:24,108 --> 00:33:25,548
Speaker 7: and two. But I tell you right now, if you

837
00:33:25,588 --> 00:33:27,188
Speaker 7: go look at that schedule, they don't get off to

838
00:33:27,228 --> 00:33:28,988
Speaker 7: an early start, right. This is a team that could

839
00:33:28,988 --> 00:33:31,388
Speaker 7: be sitting there around one and six. And if they're

840
00:33:31,428 --> 00:33:33,908
Speaker 7: one and six, this city's gonna burn. Yeah right, I

841
00:33:33,948 --> 00:33:34,988
Speaker 7: mean it really is good.

842
00:33:35,228 --> 00:33:38,268
Speaker 6: Right, imagine going backwards from a team that was essentially

843
00:33:38,348 --> 00:33:39,268
Speaker 6: a quarterback away.

844
00:33:39,588 --> 00:33:40,388
Speaker 8: So Buffalo is.

845
00:33:40,388 --> 00:33:42,748
Speaker 7: Going to be huge, right at the Cowboys, the Patriots,

846
00:33:42,868 --> 00:33:46,108
Speaker 7: you never know, the Chiefs, the Broncos with new Russell, Eagles,

847
00:33:46,188 --> 00:33:48,108
Speaker 7: the Giants who made the playoffs last year. Monday and

848
00:33:48,108 --> 00:33:50,348
Speaker 7: at football against the Chargers and then the Raiders. You

849
00:33:50,468 --> 00:33:53,108
Speaker 7: could say, if things don't go right, they only have

850
00:33:53,188 --> 00:33:56,028
Speaker 7: two wins at that point after the Raiders game, and

851
00:33:56,108 --> 00:34:00,348
Speaker 7: that would be disappointing as can be, but it also

852
00:34:00,428 --> 00:34:02,108
Speaker 7: can reverse. If Aaron Rodgers comes out and as the

853
00:34:02,188 --> 00:34:04,188
Speaker 7: leader that he has been his whole career and does

854
00:34:04,228 --> 00:34:06,468
Speaker 7: some pretty great things, that team also could be in

855
00:34:06,508 --> 00:34:09,628
Speaker 7: a position with at eight and two, with unbelievable wins

856
00:34:09,668 --> 00:34:12,628
Speaker 7: over the likes of the Bills, the Chiefs, the Giants,

857
00:34:13,068 --> 00:34:13,948
Speaker 7: all of those teams.

858
00:34:14,028 --> 00:34:14,788
Speaker 8: That's that's a bit.

859
00:34:14,868 --> 00:34:15,948
Speaker 4: It would be a fever pitch.

860
00:34:16,068 --> 00:34:17,708
Speaker 3: And I, you know, I go back and forth on

861
00:34:17,788 --> 00:34:19,908
Speaker 3: this because look, he's done so much more with less,

862
00:34:20,268 --> 00:34:22,188
Speaker 3: So it'll be fascinating to watch one of the storylines

863
00:34:22,188 --> 00:34:23,828
Speaker 3: I'm excited about for the regular season.

864
00:34:23,868 --> 00:34:25,628
Speaker 4: All right, Still to come on Good Morning.

865
00:34:25,468 --> 00:34:29,428
Speaker 6: Football, our front office analyst Scott Pioli with his thought

866
00:34:29,668 --> 00:34:31,308
Speaker 6: on Dalvin Cook's future.

867
00:34:31,548 --> 00:34:32,228
Speaker 8: Where's he gonna go
