1 00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,628 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in 2 00:00:06,708 --> 00:00:27,308 Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio. Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by 3 00:00:27,308 --> 00:00:29,508 Speaker 1: Old Trapper Beef Jerky. We're live or in New York City. 4 00:00:29,508 --> 00:00:32,348 Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, October twelfth. I'm Jamie hurd All, Kyle Brant, 5 00:00:32,348 --> 00:00:35,868 Speaker 1: Peter Schreeger, and Jason mccordy are your hosts of the show. 6 00:00:36,148 --> 00:00:37,828 Speaker 1: We were just down on the streets of New York 7 00:00:37,908 --> 00:00:41,548 Speaker 1: last hour, again a palpable buzz. We see the Jets 8 00:00:41,588 --> 00:00:43,428 Speaker 1: fans walking around and it's great because it's like this 9 00:00:43,668 --> 00:00:46,188 Speaker 1: mutual respect that you see exists. It's not like one 10 00:00:46,228 --> 00:00:47,828 Speaker 1: team's got it and the other one's like a ghost. 11 00:00:47,828 --> 00:00:49,948 Speaker 1: I'll warm my jersey like it is just proud down there. 12 00:00:50,068 --> 00:00:51,948 Speaker 1: Now it's time for the lead blast because we have 13 00:00:51,988 --> 00:00:53,748 Speaker 1: a couple of games to be played before that. One 14 00:00:53,788 --> 00:00:55,748 Speaker 1: of them is this weekend. It's the Ravens. They had 15 00:00:55,748 --> 00:00:58,228 Speaker 1: a big game again Cincinnati last week, and then the 16 00:00:58,268 --> 00:01:00,748 Speaker 1: Giants served notice to the world by beating the Packers 17 00:01:00,868 --> 00:01:03,748 Speaker 1: in London. Now these two teams are on a collision 18 00:01:03,828 --> 00:01:05,748 Speaker 1: course in week six, where all eyes are going to 19 00:01:05,788 --> 00:01:08,868 Speaker 1: be on Lar Jackson, say Quon Barkley, Eli Manning was 20 00:01:08,908 --> 00:01:11,188 Speaker 1: on Total Access last night to talk about his old 21 00:01:11,188 --> 00:01:14,788 Speaker 1: team sitting pretty at four and one. It's been a 22 00:01:14,788 --> 00:01:17,308 Speaker 1: lot of fun to watch. And obviously, you know, every 23 00:01:17,348 --> 00:01:19,628 Speaker 1: game the Giants have played has been close and it's 24 00:01:19,628 --> 00:01:22,028 Speaker 1: come down to the fourth quarter in these last drives, 25 00:01:22,188 --> 00:01:25,348 Speaker 1: and so to see them have the ability to win 26 00:01:25,428 --> 00:01:28,268 Speaker 1: these close games, and that's been the differences last years. 27 00:01:28,308 --> 00:01:30,708 Speaker 1: That could be the difference in making playoffs, not making 28 00:01:30,708 --> 00:01:33,868 Speaker 1: playoffs down the stretches, the ability to win games in 29 00:01:33,868 --> 00:01:35,948 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, to win those close ones that have 30 00:01:35,988 --> 00:01:39,388 Speaker 1: you either have a comeback or hold onto that lead. 31 00:01:39,588 --> 00:01:42,068 Speaker 1: And so that's what the Giants are able to do 32 00:01:42,308 --> 00:01:44,828 Speaker 1: right now, which is exciting. That's a great thing to 33 00:01:44,948 --> 00:01:46,988 Speaker 1: have in the back of your mind as you're playing 34 00:01:47,028 --> 00:01:49,108 Speaker 1: a game, because early on you're not that at the 35 00:01:49,188 --> 00:01:51,668 Speaker 1: fourth stage, hey, if it's not there, we don't have 36 00:01:51,708 --> 00:01:53,468 Speaker 1: to try to make a player. Now, we got time. 37 00:01:53,508 --> 00:01:56,228 Speaker 1: We got time. We'll make the plays when we need them, 38 00:01:56,308 --> 00:01:59,348 Speaker 1: and they're doing that right now. So Eli, you can imagine, 39 00:01:59,468 --> 00:02:01,028 Speaker 1: is that fun watching his old team make it to 40 00:02:01,108 --> 00:02:03,228 Speaker 1: four and one, to the first five games. That's if 41 00:02:03,348 --> 00:02:05,708 Speaker 1: the Giants have not a Lushtion's two thousand and nine 42 00:02:05,788 --> 00:02:08,428 Speaker 1: when Eli was a quarterback for the Giants. All right, 43 00:02:08,468 --> 00:02:10,628 Speaker 1: So the question becomes, how do the Giants make sure 44 00:02:10,708 --> 00:02:13,748 Speaker 1: Eli is happy and the rest of New York is 45 00:02:13,908 --> 00:02:16,108 Speaker 1: happy and the Giants will be sitting at five and one? 46 00:02:16,188 --> 00:02:19,188 Speaker 1: How do they do that five and one? Well, I 47 00:02:19,268 --> 00:02:21,108 Speaker 1: think it's interesting we just heard more from Eli in 48 00:02:21,108 --> 00:02:23,668 Speaker 1: the last thirty seconds than from Daniel Jones in last 49 00:02:23,708 --> 00:02:25,788 Speaker 1: six weeks. It's a funny thing when we would talk 50 00:02:25,788 --> 00:02:27,988 Speaker 1: about Giants in the offseason and whoever would come in here, 51 00:02:28,028 --> 00:02:30,308 Speaker 1: and it was sometimes it was Shaun O'Hara or Garret Folo, 52 00:02:30,348 --> 00:02:31,868 Speaker 1: and it always tried to say, how can this team 53 00:02:31,908 --> 00:02:34,028 Speaker 1: possibly work? And say Quan will be back and Dave 54 00:02:34,028 --> 00:02:35,868 Speaker 1: Ball work out in the defense, and they would get 55 00:02:35,908 --> 00:02:38,148 Speaker 1: two minutes into their dissertation without ever mentioned the starting 56 00:02:38,188 --> 00:02:39,828 Speaker 1: quarterback one time. And now here we are and the 57 00:02:39,908 --> 00:02:41,788 Speaker 1: Giants are four and one, and no one talks about 58 00:02:41,868 --> 00:02:44,148 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. It is always sa Quan and day Ball. 59 00:02:44,388 --> 00:02:46,748 Speaker 1: At some point Daniel Jones needs to enter the chat, 60 00:02:46,948 --> 00:02:48,948 Speaker 1: as they say, I know he's been hurt, I know 61 00:02:49,028 --> 00:02:50,908 Speaker 1: he played hurt in London. I respect it, and he's 62 00:02:50,948 --> 00:02:53,468 Speaker 1: had some good runs and I think the performance. Highlight 63 00:02:53,508 --> 00:02:55,028 Speaker 1: of his season was a couple of touchdown runs in 64 00:02:55,068 --> 00:02:57,268 Speaker 1: a game against the Bears. Do you know this season, 65 00:02:57,668 --> 00:03:00,308 Speaker 1: let's get into the airy yards. This is the inside stats. 66 00:03:00,548 --> 00:03:03,508 Speaker 1: The longest completion Daniel Jones has had in airy yards, 67 00:03:03,588 --> 00:03:05,668 Speaker 1: meaning how far it down the field. You would not 68 00:03:05,748 --> 00:03:07,988 Speaker 1: believe it. That was posed this question this morning. Man, 69 00:03:08,028 --> 00:03:12,308 Speaker 1: I don't know thirty two. It's eighteen eighteen yards to 70 00:03:12,468 --> 00:03:15,148 Speaker 1: Richie James. While the Titans were in a prevent defense 71 00:03:15,188 --> 00:03:17,988 Speaker 1: on the last play of the first half, eighteen I 72 00:03:18,068 --> 00:03:19,988 Speaker 1: had to check Will check it. So what I'm saying 73 00:03:20,108 --> 00:03:22,108 Speaker 1: is like, at some point you can't just do the 74 00:03:22,388 --> 00:03:25,508 Speaker 1: sa Quan be superman hold on Titan play defense thing. 75 00:03:25,788 --> 00:03:28,108 Speaker 1: At some point Daniel Jones is going to do half 76 00:03:28,148 --> 00:03:29,868 Speaker 1: to chuck it. He's going to half to make a play. 77 00:03:29,948 --> 00:03:32,108 Speaker 1: And we've talked about this for years. I still cannot 78 00:03:32,148 --> 00:03:34,948 Speaker 1: think of one big Daniel Jones throw in his entire career. 79 00:03:35,068 --> 00:03:37,548 Speaker 1: He's had some big runs, he had a crazy catch, 80 00:03:37,788 --> 00:03:39,548 Speaker 1: He's done some really good things. Don't get me wrong. 81 00:03:39,628 --> 00:03:41,748 Speaker 1: When is the Oh my god, it's third and nine 82 00:03:41,788 --> 00:03:44,228 Speaker 1: and Daniel Jones hit this bullet and they moved the 83 00:03:44,308 --> 00:03:45,708 Speaker 1: chicks and then took a knee and one. We need 84 00:03:45,788 --> 00:03:47,268 Speaker 1: that play. And I know he's hurt, and I know 85 00:03:47,348 --> 00:03:50,028 Speaker 1: he's not Superman, but we need something from Daniel Jones. 86 00:03:50,068 --> 00:03:51,788 Speaker 1: We're gonna keep this thing going. Four and one is awesome, 87 00:03:51,868 --> 00:03:53,308 Speaker 1: Let's get the six and one and seven one. The 88 00:03:53,348 --> 00:03:55,108 Speaker 1: QB one has to step up. I hear you. I 89 00:03:55,228 --> 00:03:57,148 Speaker 1: hear you on that being a need for this team 90 00:03:57,308 --> 00:03:59,588 Speaker 1: at some point, and I just don't feel like that 91 00:03:59,668 --> 00:04:01,468 Speaker 1: this Ravens defense is the one that he has to 92 00:04:01,548 --> 00:04:03,748 Speaker 1: take that chance. Again, did you see them against the 93 00:04:03,828 --> 00:04:06,228 Speaker 1: Bengals again, I mean, you made them turn the volume 94 00:04:06,308 --> 00:04:08,828 Speaker 1: up in their own cafeteria. They hear you two ripped 95 00:04:08,868 --> 00:04:10,788 Speaker 1: them to shreds about how they have to not rip 96 00:04:10,868 --> 00:04:12,508 Speaker 1: them to shreds, but they have to step up, and 97 00:04:12,668 --> 00:04:15,468 Speaker 1: they did. They did against the Bengals. Now, this play calling, 98 00:04:15,628 --> 00:04:17,388 Speaker 1: that's for a different segment of the show. But the 99 00:04:17,508 --> 00:04:19,508 Speaker 1: point is that Marcus Peters and the rest of this 100 00:04:20,028 --> 00:04:23,308 Speaker 1: Ravens defense was all over the field on this third 101 00:04:23,388 --> 00:04:26,588 Speaker 1: quarter drive within the five yard line for the Bengals. 102 00:04:26,748 --> 00:04:28,708 Speaker 1: There wasn't a black sure. It felt like there were 103 00:04:28,748 --> 00:04:31,748 Speaker 1: fifteen guys out there. They were They stuffed them in 104 00:04:31,828 --> 00:04:33,948 Speaker 1: the red zone, and that was against the Bengals. This 105 00:04:34,188 --> 00:04:36,548 Speaker 1: Ravens defense, they flipped a switch. I don't know if 106 00:04:36,588 --> 00:04:38,828 Speaker 1: it was because they finally heard enough after five weeks 107 00:04:38,828 --> 00:04:41,108 Speaker 1: so the media getting on their case about giving up leads, 108 00:04:41,188 --> 00:04:43,788 Speaker 1: giving up games and losing it home too many times. 109 00:04:43,868 --> 00:04:46,708 Speaker 1: But they looked like a defense possessed. So Daniel Jones, 110 00:04:46,788 --> 00:04:48,588 Speaker 1: I hear you take care of the ball, though I 111 00:04:48,628 --> 00:04:50,308 Speaker 1: don't know if this is the week to go for 112 00:04:50,628 --> 00:04:53,108 Speaker 1: twenty four yards. You just keep doing what you're doing. 113 00:04:53,148 --> 00:04:56,628 Speaker 1: Obviously it's working, but like, be careful tread lightly against 114 00:04:56,668 --> 00:04:59,028 Speaker 1: this Ravens defense because that's a team that's out to 115 00:04:59,108 --> 00:05:01,468 Speaker 1: prove something. Well into this segment, both of you went. 116 00:05:01,708 --> 00:05:06,548 Speaker 1: Nobody has mentioned Lamar Jackson. This guy's playing unbelievable. He 117 00:05:06,788 --> 00:05:09,228 Speaker 1: is the force to be wreckoned with on that Baltimore 118 00:05:09,308 --> 00:05:12,188 Speaker 1: Ravens offense. But the Giants have Wink Martindale and he 119 00:05:12,348 --> 00:05:15,748 Speaker 1: was in that Ravens facility when they drafted Lamar Jackson 120 00:05:15,948 --> 00:05:19,428 Speaker 1: and those training camp practices, it becomes personal. The offensive 121 00:05:19,468 --> 00:05:22,868 Speaker 1: coordinator the defensive coordinator, they start scheming each other up, 122 00:05:22,908 --> 00:05:24,868 Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to stop the other one. 123 00:05:25,068 --> 00:05:28,108 Speaker 1: Wink Martindale's had a chance to watch Lamar Jackson up 124 00:05:28,228 --> 00:05:31,508 Speaker 1: close and going against it in game. Speed is totally different. 125 00:05:31,548 --> 00:05:34,148 Speaker 1: I remember playing against him in twenty nineteen. We had 126 00:05:34,228 --> 00:05:37,988 Speaker 1: Jacobe Meyers a wide receiver. He's playing Lamar Jackson. All right, 127 00:05:38,028 --> 00:05:39,668 Speaker 1: we have the speed. We're gonna get ready for it. 128 00:05:39,908 --> 00:05:41,868 Speaker 1: We got out there before we knew it. They slapped 129 00:05:41,948 --> 00:05:43,748 Speaker 1: us in the face. It was seventeen is it in 130 00:05:43,868 --> 00:05:46,468 Speaker 1: the first quarter? Because it was a lot faster than 131 00:05:46,508 --> 00:05:49,948 Speaker 1: it looked on film. Wink Martindale. He showed this past 132 00:05:49,988 --> 00:05:53,508 Speaker 1: week versus Aaron Rodgers. He's not afraid to bring the heat. 133 00:05:53,908 --> 00:05:57,348 Speaker 1: I want to see. I'm excited to watch how he's 134 00:05:57,348 --> 00:05:59,948 Speaker 1: gonna scheme up those blitzes. How he's gonna get after 135 00:06:00,068 --> 00:06:04,108 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson but still contain him. And that's the thing 136 00:06:04,508 --> 00:06:07,828 Speaker 1: they're going to blitz. Yeah, Lamar can record gamest thing 137 00:06:07,868 --> 00:06:10,348 Speaker 1: they do against Lamar? Right, yes, he go, Winks going 138 00:06:10,388 --> 00:06:12,948 Speaker 1: to Blitzdall, how's he gonna do it and be successful 139 00:06:12,988 --> 00:06:14,748 Speaker 1: and still get this guy on the ground. I'm gonna 140 00:06:14,788 --> 00:06:16,868 Speaker 1: double down with Jason on this one. The Wink Martindale 141 00:06:17,068 --> 00:06:19,228 Speaker 1: storyline is fascinating and I know we can go Lamar 142 00:06:19,308 --> 00:06:21,228 Speaker 1: and Jones to talk about all the stars, but talking 143 00:06:21,268 --> 00:06:23,948 Speaker 1: about a man that was like the face of that 144 00:06:24,148 --> 00:06:26,668 Speaker 1: defense in a lot of ways for many, many good 145 00:06:26,748 --> 00:06:29,308 Speaker 1: years in Baltimore. While he was in Baltimore. Look at 146 00:06:29,348 --> 00:06:34,148 Speaker 1: the years second, first, third, fourth, second, seventh night last year, 147 00:06:34,188 --> 00:06:35,828 Speaker 1: it goes a little bit of a ride, and the 148 00:06:35,948 --> 00:06:37,788 Speaker 1: Ravens missed the playoffs with a ton of injuries. I 149 00:06:37,868 --> 00:06:41,228 Speaker 1: all the field. The Ravens fired with Martindale fired him, y, 150 00:06:41,548 --> 00:06:43,148 Speaker 1: I guess that second and first wasn't en off the 151 00:06:43,188 --> 00:06:45,748 Speaker 1: third and fourth running off the second, and they fired him. 152 00:06:45,908 --> 00:06:47,908 Speaker 1: They hire a thirty five year old Wonderkin and Mike 153 00:06:47,988 --> 00:06:50,748 Speaker 1: McDonald from the University of Michigan. Wink takes his services 154 00:06:50,908 --> 00:06:53,308 Speaker 1: to New York, where he's now with the Giants, and 155 00:06:53,428 --> 00:06:55,868 Speaker 1: here comes this Ravens team. Do you think Wink wants 156 00:06:55,948 --> 00:06:57,908 Speaker 1: to beat this team? Do you think Wink wants to 157 00:06:57,988 --> 00:07:00,628 Speaker 1: lay out the chessboard and say, oh, Lamar Jackson, I've 158 00:07:00,628 --> 00:07:02,268 Speaker 1: got an answer for that. I can't wait to see 159 00:07:02,268 --> 00:07:05,148 Speaker 1: the interaction between the Wink and hardball. Can't see Winkids 160 00:07:05,188 --> 00:07:08,068 Speaker 1: interactions with the players. This guy was a beloved defensive 161 00:07:08,108 --> 00:07:10,948 Speaker 1: coordinator in Baltimore. He's shown the door and now he 162 00:07:11,028 --> 00:07:12,828 Speaker 1: has a chance of his team to go five and 163 00:07:12,908 --> 00:07:15,148 Speaker 1: one against them. These are the storylines that I'm kind 164 00:07:15,148 --> 00:07:17,428 Speaker 1: of underneath them, but I love this. And to that point, 165 00:07:17,468 --> 00:07:19,748 Speaker 1: if you're a Giants defensive player, like you want to 166 00:07:19,828 --> 00:07:22,468 Speaker 1: go during dominate that game because you know you know 167 00:07:22,548 --> 00:07:24,468 Speaker 1: what's gone all, you know where your coach is coming from. 168 00:07:24,708 --> 00:07:26,388 Speaker 1: You want to go play from wink and win that 169 00:07:26,508 --> 00:07:28,948 Speaker 1: game so you can talk trash after Oh so good, 170 00:07:29,028 --> 00:07:31,948 Speaker 1: it's so good, a fool, we are fantastic game. We're 171 00:07:31,988 --> 00:07:34,708 Speaker 1: now joined by one of our favorite players in NFL history. 172 00:07:34,788 --> 00:07:38,428 Speaker 1: He's a two time pro bowler whose story has motivated 173 00:07:38,548 --> 00:07:41,308 Speaker 1: countless people that have faced adversity. We love him on 174 00:07:41,388 --> 00:07:43,668 Speaker 1: this show. Please welcome back friend of the program, mister 175 00:07:43,788 --> 00:07:49,108 Speaker 1: Ryan Shay. Thank you for having me. Thank you. We 176 00:07:49,308 --> 00:07:52,108 Speaker 1: love having you on. Ryan. Let's start with your Steelers. 177 00:07:52,228 --> 00:07:54,748 Speaker 1: This is unknown territory for a lot of us, talking 178 00:07:54,748 --> 00:07:57,188 Speaker 1: about a one in four Pittsburgh squad that has a 179 00:07:57,268 --> 00:08:00,148 Speaker 1: young quarterback in Kenny Pickett. Your former head coach, Mike 180 00:08:00,228 --> 00:08:03,388 Speaker 1: Tomlin is facing all of this adversity. Now, what do 181 00:08:03,468 --> 00:08:06,308 Speaker 1: you think he is saying behind the scenes? To those 182 00:08:06,388 --> 00:08:09,708 Speaker 1: players to get things turned around in a hurry in Pittsburgh. 183 00:08:09,908 --> 00:08:11,828 Speaker 1: So I know one thing that he's definitely telling the 184 00:08:11,948 --> 00:08:14,788 Speaker 1: guys is, first of all, he's been in this situation before. 185 00:08:14,828 --> 00:08:16,988 Speaker 1: He's been owing four before. That was right like the 186 00:08:17,108 --> 00:08:19,068 Speaker 1: year before I got there, they were owing for it 187 00:08:19,148 --> 00:08:20,948 Speaker 1: and they finished the season off about eight and eight. 188 00:08:21,188 --> 00:08:23,068 Speaker 1: But one thing that I know Coach Chalin does a 189 00:08:23,148 --> 00:08:25,668 Speaker 1: good job of is just really communicating with the guys 190 00:08:25,788 --> 00:08:28,028 Speaker 1: where they where they struggle at, and what they need 191 00:08:28,068 --> 00:08:30,388 Speaker 1: to do better. So obviously, in a front, we have 192 00:08:30,468 --> 00:08:32,588 Speaker 1: to be a lot more physical and we have to 193 00:08:32,628 --> 00:08:34,868 Speaker 1: really take advantage of the opportunities we have. We have 194 00:08:35,028 --> 00:08:38,148 Speaker 1: so many opportunities that present ourselves. We can easily be 195 00:08:38,668 --> 00:08:41,148 Speaker 1: four on one right now, or at least three and 196 00:08:41,188 --> 00:08:43,548 Speaker 1: two right now, but it's we let three games slip 197 00:08:43,588 --> 00:08:45,628 Speaker 1: away from us. So he's going to really talk about 198 00:08:45,668 --> 00:08:47,908 Speaker 1: the opportunities that we let slip away from us, like 199 00:08:47,988 --> 00:08:50,948 Speaker 1: the Browns game, like the Jets game when we had 200 00:08:50,988 --> 00:08:53,068 Speaker 1: a lead, and even like the Patriots game. It's just 201 00:08:53,188 --> 00:08:57,068 Speaker 1: situations where we're in position to make plays. Guys have 202 00:08:57,268 --> 00:09:00,508 Speaker 1: their hands on the balls, they're they're in position, you know, 203 00:09:00,668 --> 00:09:02,948 Speaker 1: they're not They're just not making the tackle. Those are 204 00:09:02,988 --> 00:09:05,028 Speaker 1: things that he's definitely gonna talk about to the guys 205 00:09:05,068 --> 00:09:07,308 Speaker 1: and just really understand, like, hey, we lost the first 206 00:09:07,348 --> 00:09:09,628 Speaker 1: half of the season. We still have three more we 207 00:09:09,748 --> 00:09:11,588 Speaker 1: still have three more halves to go. Well, you do. 208 00:09:11,788 --> 00:09:14,508 Speaker 1: But everybody gets injured, all right, Every team deals with injuries. 209 00:09:14,748 --> 00:09:17,468 Speaker 1: The Steelers lost their best player Week one. T J 210 00:09:17,588 --> 00:09:19,708 Speaker 1: Watt is one of the top five players in the 211 00:09:19,788 --> 00:09:22,588 Speaker 1: league and he's been out. You were teammates with him 212 00:09:22,788 --> 00:09:24,428 Speaker 1: back when he was a rookie. What was he like 213 00:09:24,548 --> 00:09:26,428 Speaker 1: as a teammate and what is his loss meant to 214 00:09:26,468 --> 00:09:28,508 Speaker 1: the Steelers this year? Yeah, so me and TJ are 215 00:09:28,508 --> 00:09:30,748 Speaker 1: still pretty much pretty good friends. I actually talked to 216 00:09:30,828 --> 00:09:34,308 Speaker 1: t J yesterday, And the thing is with TJ, when 217 00:09:34,308 --> 00:09:37,708 Speaker 1: you're losing somebody like him, he just changes the whole 218 00:09:37,788 --> 00:09:41,908 Speaker 1: dynamic of the team because he applies so much pressure 219 00:09:42,028 --> 00:09:44,668 Speaker 1: and so much stress on the offense. It makes the 220 00:09:44,788 --> 00:09:48,588 Speaker 1: offense game playing around one guy so much and allows 221 00:09:48,708 --> 00:09:52,188 Speaker 1: other people to, you know, make plays, allow other people 222 00:09:52,228 --> 00:09:55,388 Speaker 1: to begin get in position. But when somebody like TJ 223 00:09:55,588 --> 00:09:57,948 Speaker 1: is out of the game, with somebody the best players 224 00:09:57,988 --> 00:10:00,828 Speaker 1: out of the game, now it causes the offense to 225 00:10:00,908 --> 00:10:03,828 Speaker 1: really see the whole defense as a whole. And now 226 00:10:03,948 --> 00:10:06,748 Speaker 1: you can you can scheme up for the second best 227 00:10:06,828 --> 00:10:10,628 Speaker 1: guy like Amka or a Cam and then now you're 228 00:10:10,668 --> 00:10:12,588 Speaker 1: expecting it, you know, the third or fourth best guy 229 00:10:12,628 --> 00:10:15,108 Speaker 1: to make a play. But TJ, when he was a Rickie, 230 00:10:15,228 --> 00:10:17,588 Speaker 1: you could tell he was gonna be great. He had 231 00:10:17,628 --> 00:10:20,148 Speaker 1: the extra work athlete, He has the pedigree, he has 232 00:10:20,228 --> 00:10:23,308 Speaker 1: the hustle, he has everything that you would want in 233 00:10:23,428 --> 00:10:27,588 Speaker 1: your number one guy because he always led in the front. 234 00:10:27,628 --> 00:10:29,988 Speaker 1: He wasn't a big talker. He only talked when he 235 00:10:30,108 --> 00:10:31,748 Speaker 1: needed to talk. And obviously he was a Rickie at 236 00:10:31,788 --> 00:10:34,108 Speaker 1: the time, but he always led in front every drill 237 00:10:34,188 --> 00:10:36,908 Speaker 1: we had. He always worked super hard. He always was 238 00:10:36,948 --> 00:10:39,148 Speaker 1: in the weight room. And then even when we try 239 00:10:39,148 --> 00:10:40,788 Speaker 1: to get him either cheap meal, he wouldn't do it. 240 00:10:40,868 --> 00:10:42,388 Speaker 1: So you knew he was gonna be He's gonna be 241 00:10:42,428 --> 00:10:45,148 Speaker 1: a good guy. Man who doesn't enjoy a cheap meal. 242 00:10:45,708 --> 00:10:48,908 Speaker 1: I hate, I love cheap meals. But guys like t J. 243 00:10:49,108 --> 00:10:52,388 Speaker 1: Watt show up big and those big moments versus those teams, 244 00:10:52,468 --> 00:10:55,268 Speaker 1: those rivalry games and the Steelers in the Patriots has 245 00:10:55,348 --> 00:10:57,868 Speaker 1: some memorable games throughout the years. I'm sure you have 246 00:10:58,188 --> 00:11:00,148 Speaker 1: some hate or whatever you want to call it, towards 247 00:11:00,188 --> 00:11:03,668 Speaker 1: and the Patriots in those games. And Tom Brady is 248 00:11:03,708 --> 00:11:05,948 Speaker 1: going a guy that you have the game playing around 249 00:11:06,308 --> 00:11:09,908 Speaker 1: to steal his face Tampa Bay this weekend, how would 250 00:11:09,948 --> 00:11:11,788 Speaker 1: you describe Brady and what would you be saying to 251 00:11:11,868 --> 00:11:15,428 Speaker 1: those guys in a way to strategize is stopping. So 252 00:11:15,948 --> 00:11:17,748 Speaker 1: the one thing I already I already know what coach 253 00:11:17,788 --> 00:11:19,628 Speaker 1: Thoma's gonna say. He is gonna he's gonna, first of all, 254 00:11:19,708 --> 00:11:21,948 Speaker 1: call him a name, his great face. Like everybody doesn't 255 00:11:21,948 --> 00:11:24,228 Speaker 1: know who Tom Brady is, but so he's gonna call 256 00:11:24,308 --> 00:11:26,108 Speaker 1: him a name of his great face. And that's how 257 00:11:26,188 --> 00:11:29,348 Speaker 1: he that's how he talks about every team in the league. 258 00:11:29,388 --> 00:11:31,428 Speaker 1: You can be the best guy to ever played, like 259 00:11:31,508 --> 00:11:34,588 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, or you can be, you know, a random 260 00:11:34,628 --> 00:11:35,988 Speaker 1: guy on the team. He's don't always tell him in 261 00:11:36,028 --> 00:11:38,468 Speaker 1: the name is a great face. But the one way 262 00:11:38,548 --> 00:11:42,628 Speaker 1: to get pressure and to really beat Tom, and the 263 00:11:42,788 --> 00:11:44,788 Speaker 1: one thing that will tell the guys is that we 264 00:11:44,908 --> 00:11:46,548 Speaker 1: have to you have to go up the middle of 265 00:11:46,628 --> 00:11:49,628 Speaker 1: verse Tim because he's already obviously he's forty five years old, 266 00:11:49,668 --> 00:11:52,348 Speaker 1: he's not really mobile. If you apply pressure in the 267 00:11:52,428 --> 00:11:54,908 Speaker 1: middle of the defense, it causes him to move out 268 00:11:54,948 --> 00:11:56,908 Speaker 1: of the pocket, and he's not as accurate and he's 269 00:11:56,948 --> 00:11:59,708 Speaker 1: not as great as he as he normally is when 270 00:11:59,748 --> 00:12:02,828 Speaker 1: he's outside the pocket. So, and with their old line 271 00:12:02,908 --> 00:12:05,228 Speaker 1: being kind of banged up, this is something that we'll 272 00:12:05,228 --> 00:12:06,828 Speaker 1: have talked to the D line. I'll talk to the cam, 273 00:12:06,948 --> 00:12:08,828 Speaker 1: I'll talk to you know, some of the guys that 274 00:12:08,868 --> 00:12:10,508 Speaker 1: we have, and like, hey, we really need you guys 275 00:12:10,588 --> 00:12:12,508 Speaker 1: this week to apply pressure up in the middle. And 276 00:12:12,788 --> 00:12:14,788 Speaker 1: I know Coach is probably gonna have blitz Is going 277 00:12:14,828 --> 00:12:16,308 Speaker 1: up the middle of the defense and just trying to 278 00:12:16,348 --> 00:12:18,588 Speaker 1: get him off of the spots because he has guys 279 00:12:18,668 --> 00:12:20,788 Speaker 1: like Mike Evans, he has, you know, Leonard four Nets 280 00:12:20,828 --> 00:12:22,908 Speaker 1: and guys that he really trusts on the outside. So 281 00:12:23,148 --> 00:12:25,028 Speaker 1: if you just apply pressure and having them in third 282 00:12:25,068 --> 00:12:27,228 Speaker 1: and long situations, Tom Brady is not as great of 283 00:12:27,268 --> 00:12:29,428 Speaker 1: a quarterback when he has thirty fives compared to when 284 00:12:29,468 --> 00:12:31,588 Speaker 1: he has thirty threes and thirty twos. Bryan still being 285 00:12:31,668 --> 00:12:33,508 Speaker 1: so connected to the Steelers, it's so cool to hear 286 00:12:33,588 --> 00:12:37,348 Speaker 1: your insights on the game itself, but you're playing days 287 00:12:37,428 --> 00:12:39,428 Speaker 1: now that they are behind you. You have some really 288 00:12:39,508 --> 00:12:41,068 Speaker 1: cool projects ahead of you, and we want to hear 289 00:12:41,148 --> 00:12:43,148 Speaker 1: more about them. You've started the Ryan She's your fund 290 00:12:43,228 --> 00:12:46,588 Speaker 1: for spinal rehabilitation. Tell us more about its mission, the 291 00:12:46,668 --> 00:12:48,948 Speaker 1: accomplishments you've achieved so far, and what it's like to 292 00:12:49,028 --> 00:12:51,828 Speaker 1: be involved with people that you know too much about. Obviously, 293 00:12:51,868 --> 00:12:54,468 Speaker 1: when I got hurt or December fourth, twenty seventeen, I 294 00:12:54,868 --> 00:12:57,788 Speaker 1: was suffer I suffered respond for injury, and that's one 295 00:12:57,868 --> 00:13:00,148 Speaker 1: thing that I would never wish on my worst enemy. 296 00:13:00,228 --> 00:13:02,508 Speaker 1: So while I was going through my injury, I was 297 00:13:02,628 --> 00:13:04,668 Speaker 1: noticing that there was a lot of people that we're 298 00:13:04,748 --> 00:13:06,988 Speaker 1: not being able to have the same amount of rehab. 299 00:13:07,148 --> 00:13:09,148 Speaker 1: They didn't have the same amount of resources that I had. 300 00:13:09,308 --> 00:13:11,148 Speaker 1: So I wanted to start the Rights You're fun to 301 00:13:11,188 --> 00:13:13,708 Speaker 1: allow people to have independence, it live a meaningful life, 302 00:13:13,828 --> 00:13:17,908 Speaker 1: so to me, it and Peter can have two total 303 00:13:18,028 --> 00:13:20,108 Speaker 1: definitions of independence. So one of mine was to be 304 00:13:20,108 --> 00:13:23,228 Speaker 1: able to play football again and you know, enjoy life 305 00:13:23,268 --> 00:13:25,508 Speaker 1: with my kids, while somebody else is to be able 306 00:13:25,548 --> 00:13:27,988 Speaker 1: to move around their house. Because in Pittsburgh every house 307 00:13:28,068 --> 00:13:30,428 Speaker 1: has stairs. Every house, it's really hard to get around. 308 00:13:30,548 --> 00:13:33,308 Speaker 1: So just to allow people to feel independent again, allow 309 00:13:33,388 --> 00:13:35,348 Speaker 1: them to instill enjoy the things that they used to 310 00:13:35,428 --> 00:13:38,348 Speaker 1: enjoy before they got injured. And that's why I started 311 00:13:38,348 --> 00:13:40,868 Speaker 1: to fund to allow people more opportunities. Ryan, you're the man. 312 00:13:41,108 --> 00:13:43,828 Speaker 1: I love it.

No, 329 00:14:30,508 --> 00:14:32,708 Speaker 1: it's going to have to find a way to slow 330 00:14:33,028 --> 00:14:36,908 Speaker 1: this man. Micah Parsons, the Cowboys linebacker, tied for the 331 00:14:37,028 --> 00:14:40,428 Speaker 1: league lead in sacks and leads league in quarterback pressures. 332 00:14:40,628 --> 00:14:43,468 Speaker 1: Eagles head coach Nick Siriani knows they'll have to keep 333 00:14:43,508 --> 00:14:47,308 Speaker 1: an eye on number eleven at all times. Whatever you do, again, 334 00:14:47,388 --> 00:14:49,508 Speaker 1: you're trying to put your players in the best positions 335 00:14:49,548 --> 00:14:51,868 Speaker 1: to succeed, and you're not. And while you're doing that, 336 00:14:51,988 --> 00:14:54,788 Speaker 1: you're trying not to allow their best players to wreck 337 00:14:54,868 --> 00:14:57,948 Speaker 1: the game. And so he'll be accounted for every single play. 338 00:14:58,028 --> 00:14:59,668 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean he's not going to make some plays 339 00:14:59,748 --> 00:15:06,348 Speaker 1: here and there. He's a really outstanding, outstanding player, Yes 340 00:15:06,428 --> 00:15:09,668 Speaker 1: he is. In other news, in conjunction with the NFL's 341 00:15:09,708 --> 00:15:14,108 Speaker 1: Crucial Catch initiative, the Buccaneers recently hosting the tenth annual 342 00:15:14,228 --> 00:15:17,988 Speaker 1: Treasure Chess five K and fun Run.

Tom 350 00:15:43,148 --> 00:15:45,068 Speaker 1: Brady never appeared on the show, but we've said he's 351 00:15:45,108 --> 00:15:49,068 Speaker 1: seen some poor quality football this season. Get an interesting 352 00:15:49,188 --> 00:15:52,348 Speaker 1: take on why big deal or no big deals? Not Tom, 353 00:15:52,788 --> 00:16:09,028 Speaker 1: It's a friendly place time for a game. A big 354 00:16:09,148 --> 00:16:12,628 Speaker 1: deal or no big deal last week Tom Brady, So 355 00:16:12,788 --> 00:16:15,388 Speaker 1: the parody in the NFL is actually due to poor 356 00:16:15,588 --> 00:16:18,428 Speaker 1: quality of play. He recently cleared up his reasoning for 357 00:16:18,468 --> 00:16:21,548 Speaker 1: those comments and explained, take a listen, there's not these 358 00:16:21,708 --> 00:16:24,868 Speaker 1: established programs that are developing a certain caliber player to 359 00:16:24,908 --> 00:16:27,668 Speaker 1: the NFL. I think the athletes are as athletic as ever. 360 00:16:27,908 --> 00:16:29,828 Speaker 1: You know, you look at someone like Michael Parsons or 361 00:16:30,188 --> 00:16:33,028 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald or some of these receivers. I could name 362 00:16:33,028 --> 00:16:34,708 Speaker 1: a lot of them. But at the same time, you know, 363 00:16:34,748 --> 00:16:37,148 Speaker 1: the players can become less developed because they're not geting 364 00:16:37,188 --> 00:16:39,348 Speaker 1: developed in high school. They're not as developed through their 365 00:16:39,428 --> 00:16:41,388 Speaker 1: college program, and they get to the pros and they're 366 00:16:41,468 --> 00:16:44,308 Speaker 1: less developed, and there's not the continuity of the programs. 367 00:16:44,428 --> 00:16:47,148 Speaker 1: So then there's also lesser time in the off season 368 00:16:47,268 --> 00:16:50,028 Speaker 1: to do football, So I think it's just a confluence 369 00:16:50,108 --> 00:16:52,148 Speaker 1: of a lot of things that I think, over time, 370 00:16:52,308 --> 00:16:55,868 Speaker 1: could have an impact on a quality of play. Look, 371 00:16:55,948 --> 00:16:58,148 Speaker 1: Brady's got a right to say anything. He's our senior 372 00:16:58,388 --> 00:17:00,268 Speaker 1: leader as far as the players go. He's forty five 373 00:17:00,348 --> 00:17:02,228 Speaker 1: years old. He played in Michigan for five years and 374 00:17:02,308 --> 00:17:03,948 Speaker 1: then went and obviously played for New England for all 375 00:17:03,988 --> 00:17:06,068 Speaker 1: those years. I think it's interesting that Brady's speaking out. 376 00:17:06,108 --> 00:17:08,388 Speaker 1: So the question here in big dealer, nobod deal. Brady 377 00:17:08,428 --> 00:17:10,388 Speaker 1: says that there are many factors, like we said, the 378 00:17:10,588 --> 00:17:13,228 Speaker 1: time in college, transfport or whatever, they can influence the 379 00:17:13,348 --> 00:17:15,868 Speaker 1: quality of the future of the game. Big dealer, no 380 00:17:16,028 --> 00:17:18,628 Speaker 1: deal Brady talking this is a big deal because it's 381 00:17:18,668 --> 00:17:21,908 Speaker 1: a lot to digest. I guess from the senior statesman, 382 00:17:21,908 --> 00:17:23,268 Speaker 1: I guess is what we're going to call him on 383 00:17:23,348 --> 00:17:25,468 Speaker 1: this topic. I was a little bit triggered when I 384 00:17:25,548 --> 00:17:27,988 Speaker 1: first heard him say, like, the quality of the program 385 00:17:28,148 --> 00:17:30,908 Speaker 1: isn't there anymore, because I think there's five to six 386 00:17:31,068 --> 00:17:34,548 Speaker 1: college programs right now that do spit out elite NFL 387 00:17:34,628 --> 00:17:37,188 Speaker 1: players and that you can see them peanut buttered all 388 00:17:37,268 --> 00:17:39,988 Speaker 1: over the league. So I'm not sure about the quality 389 00:17:40,028 --> 00:17:42,868 Speaker 1: of the program. If you're talking about the time in which, 390 00:17:42,948 --> 00:17:45,148 Speaker 1: like Peter said, for example, Brady was at Michigan for 391 00:17:45,228 --> 00:17:47,908 Speaker 1: five years, one of those storied programs, that the demand 392 00:17:48,028 --> 00:17:49,748 Speaker 1: for the player to stay that long, and are they 393 00:17:49,948 --> 00:17:53,988 Speaker 1: really excelling their skill set as a football player. Are 394 00:17:54,028 --> 00:17:58,148 Speaker 1: they developing themselves intellectually and mentally and physically for the 395 00:17:58,308 --> 00:18:01,028 Speaker 1: game at the college level. I guess that's where he 396 00:18:01,108 --> 00:18:02,748 Speaker 1: could go that way, but I still am a little bit. 397 00:18:02,828 --> 00:18:04,348 Speaker 1: It's a big deal because I guess I don't quite 398 00:18:04,508 --> 00:18:07,788 Speaker 1: understand what he means by the programs aren't there. It's 399 00:18:07,788 --> 00:18:12,428 Speaker 1: a big deal because I'm disagreeing with Tom's Sorry, he's 400 00:18:12,468 --> 00:18:15,908 Speaker 1: not holy no big deal because also I don't totally 401 00:18:15,988 --> 00:18:17,908 Speaker 1: understand it either, and I think he needs to maybe 402 00:18:17,948 --> 00:18:21,108 Speaker 1: reclarify his clarification. The quarterbacks have never been better prepared. 403 00:18:21,268 --> 00:18:23,708 Speaker 1: He talked about the athletes. There is a whole industry 404 00:18:23,788 --> 00:18:26,948 Speaker 1: of quarterback preparation in which maybe they're even over prepared. 405 00:18:27,188 --> 00:18:29,668 Speaker 1: I see it. I'm involved in youth sports a lot, 406 00:18:29,748 --> 00:18:32,348 Speaker 1: and the concept of specialization comes up, and a lot 407 00:18:32,428 --> 00:18:35,428 Speaker 1: of these kids are channeled into football through flag football, 408 00:18:35,628 --> 00:18:37,868 Speaker 1: and I think maybe just because they're not staying in 409 00:18:38,028 --> 00:18:40,188 Speaker 1: college for as long doesn't mean that they don't get 410 00:18:40,188 --> 00:18:42,508 Speaker 1: to the NFL as prepared. In fact, sometimes the high 411 00:18:42,548 --> 00:18:45,428 Speaker 1: school programs are more sophisticated and more involved and more 412 00:18:45,508 --> 00:18:48,548 Speaker 1: thorough in college than anything. So Brady comes from different era. 413 00:18:48,788 --> 00:18:50,388 Speaker 1: It's the same era really that I grew up, and 414 00:18:50,548 --> 00:18:52,268 Speaker 1: so I respect it, but I don't turn on the 415 00:18:52,348 --> 00:18:54,268 Speaker 1: games on Sunday and be like, man, these players just 416 00:18:54,348 --> 00:18:56,268 Speaker 1: aren't prepared to play. In fact, I think the talent 417 00:18:56,348 --> 00:18:58,268 Speaker 1: and the quality has never been better. Yeah for me, 418 00:18:58,388 --> 00:19:00,908 Speaker 1: I'm going no big deal. I think I kind of 419 00:19:00,988 --> 00:19:03,508 Speaker 1: took it as Brady came from a different era, like 420 00:19:03,668 --> 00:19:05,548 Speaker 1: you just said. And when you look at the game, 421 00:19:05,588 --> 00:19:09,948 Speaker 1: when you watch college football, it doesn't look like NFL football. 422 00:19:10,228 --> 00:19:13,548 Speaker 1: You have coaches or three different color polos on the 423 00:19:13,668 --> 00:19:16,308 Speaker 1: sideline signal in a whole bunch of stuff. You got 424 00:19:16,348 --> 00:19:20,428 Speaker 1: these big signs up. Nobody's really huddling. It's a totally 425 00:19:20,588 --> 00:19:23,268 Speaker 1: different game. You watch what the offenses are running, the 426 00:19:23,348 --> 00:19:26,268 Speaker 1: receivers they're running back. There's not really eye formation. Everybody's 427 00:19:26,308 --> 00:19:28,788 Speaker 1: in the shotgun. You're throwing the ball every single play. 428 00:19:29,028 --> 00:19:31,148 Speaker 1: So I took it from a craft standpoint in an 429 00:19:31,268 --> 00:19:34,068 Speaker 1: understanding of the NFL game when you come in. He 430 00:19:34,228 --> 00:19:36,268 Speaker 1: took it as it takes a little longer because you 431 00:19:36,348 --> 00:19:39,308 Speaker 1: have kids coming from college programs who are running totally 432 00:19:39,388 --> 00:19:42,148 Speaker 1: different types of schemes. Now you get to your NFL team, 433 00:19:42,388 --> 00:19:44,628 Speaker 1: there's less time in the off season, so now we 434 00:19:44,708 --> 00:19:46,828 Speaker 1: don't have as much to catch you up the training 435 00:19:46,908 --> 00:19:49,788 Speaker 1: camp practice, there's no longer double sessions. There's a certain 436 00:19:49,788 --> 00:19:51,908 Speaker 1: amount of hours you can spend in the building. So 437 00:19:52,028 --> 00:19:54,108 Speaker 1: I took it as he's looking at it. Hey, twenty 438 00:19:54,188 --> 00:19:56,548 Speaker 1: years ago, when I came in the NFL, we were 439 00:19:56,668 --> 00:19:59,468 Speaker 1: here locked in, We're doing all of these different things. 440 00:19:59,788 --> 00:20:02,068 Speaker 1: Now he's looking at a rookie coming into his building. 441 00:20:02,308 --> 00:20:05,028 Speaker 1: He's starting a podcast his rookie year, he's doing a 442 00:20:05,108 --> 00:20:07,708 Speaker 1: rate after the game, he has his own clothing line 443 00:20:07,748 --> 00:20:10,268 Speaker 1: coming out. So I think he's saying, hey, like things 444 00:20:10,308 --> 00:20:13,668 Speaker 1: have changed, way people are going about things are just different. 445 00:20:13,908 --> 00:20:15,628 Speaker 1: And for him, you're forty five. I was talking to 446 00:20:15,668 --> 00:20:17,708 Speaker 1: my brother the other day, says, sometimes I look around 447 00:20:17,708 --> 00:20:19,428 Speaker 1: the locker Room'm like, what am I doing here? You're 448 00:20:19,468 --> 00:20:21,588 Speaker 1: the oldest guy in there. The things you're interested in, 449 00:20:21,908 --> 00:20:24,108 Speaker 1: the younger guys aren't. So I think he's looking around 450 00:20:24,188 --> 00:20:26,348 Speaker 1: like feels lost a little bit. I think you're putting 451 00:20:26,348 --> 00:20:29,028 Speaker 1: it really eloquently and thorough. I would add on that, 452 00:20:29,188 --> 00:20:31,468 Speaker 1: though the quarterbacks are great and the games are close, 453 00:20:31,588 --> 00:20:33,068 Speaker 1: I don't know if the quality of the play is 454 00:20:33,108 --> 00:20:34,908 Speaker 1: so hot. In the first month of the season. There's 455 00:20:34,948 --> 00:20:37,268 Speaker 1: a lot of sloppy play. There's some stuff that's going 456 00:20:37,348 --> 00:20:39,308 Speaker 1: A lot of that's because they didn't practice as much 457 00:20:39,348 --> 00:20:42,428 Speaker 1: this offseason. They didn't play in the preseason games. A 458 00:20:42,468 --> 00:20:44,268 Speaker 1: lot of the veterans are just like, and now you 459 00:20:44,308 --> 00:20:47,028 Speaker 1: get veteran day offs, like something. I'm watching Rodney Hudson, like, I, 460 00:20:47,308 --> 00:20:49,428 Speaker 1: you know, fight the ball over Kyler Murray's head. That's 461 00:20:49,468 --> 00:20:51,588 Speaker 1: an eleven year veteran. You're like, And I don't know 462 00:20:51,668 --> 00:20:53,708 Speaker 1: if it's because they're not practicing enough or what, but like, 463 00:20:53,988 --> 00:20:55,668 Speaker 1: stuff like that's happening more and more. And I think 464 00:20:55,708 --> 00:20:58,308 Speaker 1: Brady's point is that there's no more two days, there's 465 00:20:58,348 --> 00:21:00,628 Speaker 1: no more four preseason games. There's more. And I think 466 00:21:00,668 --> 00:21:02,348 Speaker 1: maybe he's saying the quality of the game could be 467 00:21:02,468 --> 00:21:03,788 Speaker 1: talking about you are you saying, because like some of 468 00:21:03,788 --> 00:21:05,228 Speaker 1: the games have been like nine to six and just 469 00:21:05,308 --> 00:21:09,388 Speaker 1: low scoring in the offensive sloppy sloppy penalties. So there's 470 00:21:09,388 --> 00:21:10,868 Speaker 1: some of these teams you can't feel like eighty percent 471 00:21:10,908 --> 00:21:12,548 Speaker 1: of what we're talking about is the Broncos, you know, 472 00:21:12,668 --> 00:21:14,228 Speaker 1: like the Broncos are is a good thing. That's a 473 00:21:14,268 --> 00:21:17,028 Speaker 1: first year coach, the first year coordinator and new court 474 00:21:17,068 --> 00:21:18,828 Speaker 1: news theyn't have a ton of time together, and you 475 00:21:18,868 --> 00:21:21,388 Speaker 1: see it on the field. Brady's interesting. I like when 476 00:21:21,388 --> 00:21:24,148 Speaker 1: Brady talks though, this is good. Yeah, being critical, it's nice. 477 00:21:24,188 --> 00:21:26,988 Speaker 1: It's different, all right. Justin Fields had arguably the best 478 00:21:27,028 --> 00:21:29,388 Speaker 1: game of his season in Week five. Yeah, and on Tuesday, 479 00:21:29,468 --> 00:21:31,828 Speaker 1: he was asked if he can credit that success to 480 00:21:31,988 --> 00:21:35,508 Speaker 1: finally being able to calm and slow the game down. 481 00:21:35,628 --> 00:21:37,628 Speaker 1: Take a listen to what he said. No, honestly, from 482 00:21:37,668 --> 00:21:39,068 Speaker 1: being real, I think it has something to do with 483 00:21:39,148 --> 00:21:41,188 Speaker 1: my breathing. Like I've been working on my breathing, like 484 00:21:41,268 --> 00:21:43,668 Speaker 1: during the games, like just you know, in slow like 485 00:21:43,748 --> 00:21:46,148 Speaker 1: four seconds and out slow. And I think just doing that, 486 00:21:46,308 --> 00:21:48,668 Speaker 1: you know, automatically, like keeps me more calm in the 487 00:21:48,748 --> 00:21:51,068 Speaker 1: pocket and just really like during the game, like to 488 00:21:51,188 --> 00:21:53,268 Speaker 1: be honestly, even like doing the pregame speeches because I 489 00:21:53,308 --> 00:21:55,668 Speaker 1: feel like I'm you know, so much calmer than everybody else. 490 00:21:55,708 --> 00:21:58,228 Speaker 1: When the defensive guys are all like juice ready to go. 491 00:21:58,308 --> 00:22:00,628 Speaker 1: I just try to stay like chill like the whole time. 492 00:22:00,708 --> 00:22:04,388 Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, it's it's been a whirlwin for Justin Field. 493 00:22:04,468 --> 00:22:06,068 Speaker 1: He says he's been working on his breathing with the 494 00:22:06,148 --> 00:22:09,748 Speaker 1: Bears yoga instructor to keep him calm during games. Big dealer, 495 00:22:09,788 --> 00:22:12,588 Speaker 1: nooga deal. Just in't Field still wasn't feeling calm in 496 00:22:12,628 --> 00:22:14,268 Speaker 1: the pocket and his second year in the league going 497 00:22:14,348 --> 00:22:15,988 Speaker 1: in big dealer or no big deal. This is a 498 00:22:16,028 --> 00:22:18,588 Speaker 1: perfect segue from the Brady topic. We got this young 499 00:22:18,628 --> 00:22:20,348 Speaker 1: guy who's doing breathing on the side, and you know 500 00:22:20,468 --> 00:22:23,268 Speaker 1: Ohio State, Michigan, all that stuff. Justice Fields is a 501 00:22:23,348 --> 00:22:26,668 Speaker 1: different type of dude. He's a little bit reserved. He's 502 00:22:26,708 --> 00:22:29,468 Speaker 1: doing the yoga, the breathing, he's a vegan. You know, 503 00:22:29,548 --> 00:22:31,788 Speaker 1: like this is a whole new Dex generation. If you 504 00:22:31,868 --> 00:22:34,188 Speaker 1: watch the Bears games, and we'll watch when tomorrow night, 505 00:22:34,228 --> 00:22:36,308 Speaker 1: I can't believe he still has the ability to breathe. 506 00:22:36,548 --> 00:22:39,468 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, this kid gets destroyed. And last year 507 00:22:39,548 --> 00:22:40,988 Speaker 1: I tried to give him a pass because the Matt 508 00:22:41,068 --> 00:22:44,788 Speaker 1: Naggey thing was ending and he had no chance of success. Yesterday, 509 00:22:45,028 --> 00:22:46,708 Speaker 1: over the weekend, I thought he played maybe his best 510 00:22:46,748 --> 00:22:49,028 Speaker 1: game as a pro, and it was still kind of underwhelming. 511 00:22:49,148 --> 00:22:51,508 Speaker 1: Had a huge explosive play that was brought back. I 512 00:22:51,708 --> 00:22:53,868 Speaker 1: like that he's focusing on anything right now, because you know, 513 00:22:53,988 --> 00:22:55,988 Speaker 1: Jason was talking earlier in the year and the day 514 00:22:56,028 --> 00:22:58,868 Speaker 1: actually about sometimes every team says we're trying to win 515 00:22:58,908 --> 00:23:00,948 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, but you know what time it is 516 00:23:01,108 --> 00:23:02,548 Speaker 1: not every team. The Bears are not trying to win 517 00:23:02,548 --> 00:23:03,868 Speaker 1: a super Bowl this year. They can say whatever they 518 00:23:03,908 --> 00:23:06,148 Speaker 1: like and every that they're not. This is a rebuilding year, 519 00:23:06,148 --> 00:23:07,748 Speaker 1: which they didn't even know what stadium I'm gonna plan. 520 00:23:07,988 --> 00:23:09,988 Speaker 1: So all he's trying to do is get through, get better, 521 00:23:10,188 --> 00:23:12,468 Speaker 1: breathe if he needs to breathe, if he needs to 522 00:23:12,508 --> 00:23:14,468 Speaker 1: burn sage, if he needs to do lotus pose on 523 00:23:14,508 --> 00:23:16,628 Speaker 1: the sideline. There's not a ton of help, there's not 524 00:23:16,708 --> 00:23:18,588 Speaker 1: a ton of protection, and you hope it's not one 525 00:23:18,588 --> 00:23:21,308 Speaker 1: of these situations where man finally the Bears got him 526 00:23:21,348 --> 00:23:23,228 Speaker 1: what he needed. But Justin Fields is a shell of 527 00:23:23,308 --> 00:23:25,268 Speaker 1: himself because he got abused for three years. It's not 528 00:23:25,668 --> 00:23:27,668 Speaker 1: easy to watch, but hopefully tomorrow it'll be great. Yeah, 529 00:23:27,668 --> 00:23:29,108 Speaker 1: I love what you said. I'm going this is a 530 00:23:29,148 --> 00:23:31,548 Speaker 1: big deal because for him, like whatever you need to 531 00:23:31,628 --> 00:23:34,628 Speaker 1: do to get through breathing is it's awesome. He's a quarterback. 532 00:23:34,748 --> 00:23:36,868 Speaker 1: I think for him. You talk about these guys, you 533 00:23:36,908 --> 00:23:38,788 Speaker 1: say they have the it factor, or when you talk 534 00:23:38,828 --> 00:23:41,708 Speaker 1: about a great quarterback, Oh, he's poised, he's calm. The 535 00:23:41,868 --> 00:23:44,588 Speaker 1: moment never becomes too big. If breathing is what it 536 00:23:44,668 --> 00:23:47,468 Speaker 1: takes for Justin Fields to be out there called to huddle, 537 00:23:47,588 --> 00:23:50,428 Speaker 1: be calm, had the guys around him to trust in 538 00:23:50,548 --> 00:23:52,908 Speaker 1: him and say, hey, Justin's here, we're gonna be okay, 539 00:23:53,148 --> 00:23:55,188 Speaker 1: then that's what it takes. You've mentioned to Colin he 540 00:23:55,228 --> 00:23:57,428 Speaker 1: has his best game of the season of his career. 541 00:23:57,508 --> 00:23:59,948 Speaker 1: Really thought so so when you say that and then 542 00:23:59,988 --> 00:24:02,548 Speaker 1: you say, hey, I'm attributed to breathing. Whatever the case 543 00:24:02,628 --> 00:24:05,708 Speaker 1: it is, whatever's getting YouTube room, do it, young man. 544 00:24:05,788 --> 00:24:09,268 Speaker 1: There's a lot going on in Chicago. Hey, whatever it takes, 545 00:24:10,508 --> 00:24:14,268 Speaker 1: whether it's breathing, whatever it is. Man, it's a new generation. Yeah, yo, good, 546 00:24:14,268 --> 00:24:16,068 Speaker 1: that's awesome. They're in the building. He's getting it done. 547 00:24:16,068 --> 00:24:18,148 Speaker 1: I want to take this to a place of positive 548 00:24:18,188 --> 00:24:21,348 Speaker 1: awareness because October is mental health awareness. Month. So I 549 00:24:21,428 --> 00:24:23,588 Speaker 1: think this is a big deal. I think guys that 550 00:24:23,668 --> 00:24:25,788 Speaker 1: are in the spotlight, like a Dak Prescott, like a 551 00:24:25,908 --> 00:24:27,988 Speaker 1: Justin Fields, who can get up on that podium and 552 00:24:28,108 --> 00:24:31,388 Speaker 1: answer questions truthfully with this job is hard. I am 553 00:24:31,468 --> 00:24:33,988 Speaker 1: having a hard time with it at times, and these 554 00:24:34,188 --> 00:24:36,788 Speaker 1: are ways that I am handling it to make sure 555 00:24:36,828 --> 00:24:38,508 Speaker 1: that I am in a better place, whether it be 556 00:24:38,628 --> 00:24:40,788 Speaker 1: in the huddle, on the sideline, in the locker room, 557 00:24:40,948 --> 00:24:43,148 Speaker 1: or at home. I find that moments like this, I 558 00:24:43,268 --> 00:24:45,068 Speaker 1: know that we are applying it to football, but I'm 559 00:24:45,068 --> 00:24:47,028 Speaker 1: going to extrapolate it, I think for the betterments of 560 00:24:47,108 --> 00:24:49,428 Speaker 1: mental health and just say good for you, Justin Fields. 561 00:24:49,468 --> 00:24:50,748 Speaker 1: This is a big deal to be able to stand 562 00:24:50,828 --> 00:24:52,628 Speaker 1: up there and say I am handling this in a 563 00:24:52,748 --> 00:24:56,308 Speaker 1: really emotionally responsible way, and maybe not the way slamming 564 00:24:56,348 --> 00:24:59,148 Speaker 1: his helmet or we're picking him apart because he looks 565 00:24:59,188 --> 00:25:01,428 Speaker 1: like a disaster in the sideline. No, he's going out 566 00:25:01,468 --> 00:25:03,388 Speaker 1: of his way to make sure that he handles the 567 00:25:03,428 --> 00:25:05,868 Speaker 1: adversity that is being handed to him in Chicago right 568 00:25:05,908 --> 00:25:08,068 Speaker 1: now in a really great way. And the fact that 569 00:25:08,148 --> 00:25:10,388 Speaker 1: he is even saying that he is seeing a yoga 570 00:25:10,468 --> 00:25:12,708 Speaker 1: instructor and he's not getting torn apart. I think is 571 00:25:12,708 --> 00:25:14,828 Speaker 1: a great thing and good for him. Yeah, and you 572 00:25:14,908 --> 00:25:16,628 Speaker 1: nail like. This guy's been through it. He was at 573 00:25:16,628 --> 00:25:19,828 Speaker 1: Georgia obviously gets replaced and then goes has to transfer 574 00:25:19,908 --> 00:25:21,588 Speaker 1: to Ohio State, and then he goes through the draft 575 00:25:21,628 --> 00:25:23,508 Speaker 1: process and he's picked apart a million ways, and his 576 00:25:23,628 --> 00:25:26,108 Speaker 1: first sixteen weeks as an NFL player did not go great. 577 00:25:26,148 --> 00:25:27,948 Speaker 1: In his first second five weeks of the thing did 578 00:25:27,988 --> 00:25:31,788 Speaker 1: not go great. Coming up, Sash is an all pro musician, 579 00:25:32,148 --> 00:25:34,228 Speaker 1: and we've got a pro bowler in a league MVP 580 00:25:34,388 --> 00:25:36,228 Speaker 1: and also the cover of a bad and start Sea 581 00:25:36,308 --> 00:25:39,508 Speaker 1: Hucks legend.

This guy supa Bowl m P 584 00:26:04,748 --> 00:26:06,868 Speaker 1: as well, and I remember being in college playing that 585 00:26:07,028 --> 00:26:09,908 Speaker 1: and he was on the cover. Loved it. Welcome to 586 00:26:10,028 --> 00:26:17,308 Speaker 1: the show, Sean alex Bember. What's everybody looking at your 587 00:26:17,388 --> 00:26:21,348 Speaker 1: current Seattle Seahawks. In the off season, expectations weren't sky high. 588 00:26:21,548 --> 00:26:24,708 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's traded away. He has the Denver so far 589 00:26:24,788 --> 00:26:26,548 Speaker 1: has been a little bit of a surprise how well 590 00:26:26,548 --> 00:26:29,108 Speaker 1: they're doing. Geno Smith is balling. What has been the 591 00:26:29,188 --> 00:26:31,588 Speaker 1: most exciting thing for you to watch with the Seahawks team. 592 00:26:31,868 --> 00:26:36,508 Speaker 1: You know, it's still exciting to run. Gino is doing amazing. 593 00:26:36,628 --> 00:26:40,228 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm so proud of my dude, just putting 594 00:26:40,268 --> 00:26:43,948 Speaker 1: together what he's done, the confidence he has, and it's 595 00:26:43,988 --> 00:26:46,028 Speaker 1: been good. And there you go. You see Rashod, you 596 00:26:46,108 --> 00:26:48,948 Speaker 1: know Kenny Walk We've got two great running backs. So 597 00:26:49,068 --> 00:26:51,628 Speaker 1: unfret she we lost Penny for the year. But but 598 00:26:51,908 --> 00:26:55,548 Speaker 1: just watching the guys come together and offensively make plays. 599 00:26:55,708 --> 00:26:57,868 Speaker 1: I mean, like, you know, I'm an offensive guy. You know, 600 00:26:57,988 --> 00:27:00,468 Speaker 1: defense does win championships, and that's always been a stable 601 00:27:00,508 --> 00:27:03,468 Speaker 1: for Seahawks football. But it always takes a couple of 602 00:27:03,508 --> 00:27:06,068 Speaker 1: guys that just says, I'm going to go do something special. 603 00:27:06,268 --> 00:27:08,828 Speaker 1: And you're seeing Gino do it. You've seen the running 604 00:27:08,868 --> 00:27:11,348 Speaker 1: backs do it, and tight ends are getting there making plays. 605 00:27:11,388 --> 00:27:14,828 Speaker 1: It's it's been really fun to watch. Sean. You and 606 00:27:15,068 --> 00:27:17,748 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson too iconic Seahawks and you were on this 607 00:27:17,828 --> 00:27:19,948 Speaker 1: network yesterday saying that Russell is like a little brother 608 00:27:20,028 --> 00:27:21,868 Speaker 1: to you. He's gotten off to a rough start this season. 609 00:27:21,908 --> 00:27:23,788 Speaker 1: The team's gotten off to a rough start. What advice 610 00:27:23,868 --> 00:27:25,548 Speaker 1: would you have for Russell Wilson as we had into 611 00:27:25,548 --> 00:27:27,228 Speaker 1: week six. You know, it's the same thing that he 612 00:27:27,348 --> 00:27:29,508 Speaker 1: had when he was a rookie. There was something about 613 00:27:29,588 --> 00:27:31,908 Speaker 1: Russ that said, I'm gonna go get this thing done. 614 00:27:32,628 --> 00:27:36,108 Speaker 1: He's got that eight thing about him, and I'd say 615 00:27:36,148 --> 00:27:38,508 Speaker 1: to go go play that. Like sometimes when you are 616 00:27:38,628 --> 00:27:40,908 Speaker 1: used to being with a team for a decade, you 617 00:27:41,068 --> 00:27:43,068 Speaker 1: kind of have your rhythms to coach says something. You 618 00:27:43,148 --> 00:27:45,708 Speaker 1: know exactly what he means. They're not there yet, and 619 00:27:46,348 --> 00:27:48,028 Speaker 1: maybe they shouldn't be in a year, you know, a 620 00:27:48,108 --> 00:27:50,588 Speaker 1: new brand new head coach and also a new system, 621 00:27:50,708 --> 00:27:53,668 Speaker 1: new players. So he has to just stay confident in 622 00:27:53,788 --> 00:27:56,148 Speaker 1: the fact that he's got the chops to continue to 623 00:27:56,268 --> 00:27:58,748 Speaker 1: be great and to go look for that look very 624 00:27:58,948 --> 00:28:00,868 Speaker 1: opportunity to go do better than he's doing that. And 625 00:28:00,988 --> 00:28:04,188 Speaker 1: so that's just the thing. You know, it's still footballs 626 00:28:04,388 --> 00:28:06,348 Speaker 1: bunch of great players trying to go get better, and 627 00:28:06,468 --> 00:28:08,468 Speaker 1: so I tell him to be confident in who he 628 00:28:08,628 --> 00:28:11,148 Speaker 1: is and keep on playing. Speaking of someone who was 629 00:28:11,188 --> 00:28:14,028 Speaker 1: a great player and who plays confidently. Everyone was talking 630 00:28:14,148 --> 00:28:17,708 Speaker 1: John yesterday about Travis Kelsey's four touchdown game on Monday 631 00:28:17,788 --> 00:28:19,708 Speaker 1: Night against the Raiders. Now I understand why I was 632 00:28:19,748 --> 00:28:21,788 Speaker 1: assigned this question because I'm next at the table, but 633 00:28:21,828 --> 00:28:23,348 Speaker 1: it's going to hurt as it comes out of my mouth. 634 00:28:23,388 --> 00:28:25,068 Speaker 1: Stay with me here. We want to put some of 635 00:28:25,108 --> 00:28:26,948 Speaker 1: our younger viewers on notice and take you back to 636 00:28:27,028 --> 00:28:29,548 Speaker 1: two thousand and two when you scored five touchdowns against 637 00:28:29,548 --> 00:28:32,588 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night football. Sean, I'm from Minnesota, 638 00:28:33,188 --> 00:28:35,868 Speaker 1: hurts to actually say five in the first half if 639 00:28:35,908 --> 00:28:38,548 Speaker 1: I do remember correctly. What do you remember about that game, Sean, 640 00:28:38,708 --> 00:28:40,628 Speaker 1: I can't wait to you ag other Randy Moss and 641 00:28:40,748 --> 00:28:43,508 Speaker 1: I were both high school Americans together. This is before 642 00:28:43,628 --> 00:28:46,788 Speaker 1: cell phones, and I just remember everybody talking about in 643 00:28:46,908 --> 00:28:50,908 Speaker 1: the best athlete, the most high flying offensive score in 644 00:28:51,068 --> 00:28:54,628 Speaker 1: the league. And I was like, what turn of cameras on? 645 00:28:54,828 --> 00:28:57,988 Speaker 1: You know? And I do remember that the touchdowns, the 646 00:28:58,108 --> 00:29:00,908 Speaker 1: kickoff they fumbled two kickoff returns about the twenty yard 647 00:29:00,988 --> 00:29:02,628 Speaker 1: line and thirty yard line, and I was like, we're 648 00:29:02,668 --> 00:29:04,268 Speaker 1: going to get this. I said, if they don't want 649 00:29:04,268 --> 00:29:06,588 Speaker 1: to stop us, we're going to score every single drive. 650 00:29:06,668 --> 00:29:08,988 Speaker 1: And it just really went our way in setting for 651 00:29:09,108 --> 00:29:11,828 Speaker 1: what That was our second and probably last game that 652 00:29:11,948 --> 00:29:13,788 Speaker 1: we did not sell out. You know, we didn't sell 653 00:29:13,828 --> 00:29:16,228 Speaker 1: out that game. It was a second game in that stadium, 654 00:29:16,388 --> 00:29:18,988 Speaker 1: and from then on, you know the twelves or what 655 00:29:19,108 --> 00:29:22,028 Speaker 1: the twelves are, and it was just wonderful. This whole 656 00:29:22,068 --> 00:29:24,908 Speaker 1: game was. It was just a great experience. How cool. 657 00:29:25,268 --> 00:29:27,028 Speaker 1: It's a great memory and to think about it. Back 658 00:29:27,068 --> 00:29:29,308 Speaker 1: then you go to that stadium and there'd be half 659 00:29:29,348 --> 00:29:30,908 Speaker 1: full and then all of a sudden, we've put on 660 00:29:30,988 --> 00:29:32,948 Speaker 1: a year of like fifteen straight years of sellouts in 661 00:29:32,988 --> 00:29:35,108 Speaker 1: that building. You were there before it really got to 662 00:29:35,228 --> 00:29:37,388 Speaker 1: what the twelves are now. NFL Films, who we love, 663 00:29:37,468 --> 00:29:40,428 Speaker 1: just put together a great piece centered around Brown's running 664 00:29:40,468 --> 00:29:42,988 Speaker 1: backs coach Stump Mitchell. He's one of, if not the 665 00:29:43,068 --> 00:29:45,628 Speaker 1: best running back coaches to ever coach the game, and 666 00:29:45,668 --> 00:29:47,868 Speaker 1: he coached you early on in your career. Let's take 667 00:29:47,908 --> 00:29:49,748 Speaker 1: a moment as we talk about NFL films and what 668 00:29:49,868 --> 00:29:52,388 Speaker 1: they did, but make it personal. Stump Mitchell, What did 669 00:29:52,388 --> 00:29:55,108 Speaker 1: he mean to you? Oh man, Stump is like the 670 00:29:55,388 --> 00:29:58,828 Speaker 1: ultimate big uncle to me. He was like a big brother. 671 00:29:59,148 --> 00:30:02,468 Speaker 1: Just he refused them to let me not think that 672 00:30:02,548 --> 00:30:04,948 Speaker 1: I was going to be great and work out all 673 00:30:04,988 --> 00:30:06,948 Speaker 1: the things that would help me go be better, you 674 00:30:07,028 --> 00:30:08,668 Speaker 1: know what I mean. And you know, so I saw 675 00:30:08,748 --> 00:30:10,508 Speaker 1: how he was talking to Ricky Waters, who was the 676 00:30:10,828 --> 00:30:14,028 Speaker 1: living legend when I was there, and how to use 677 00:30:14,148 --> 00:30:17,628 Speaker 1: my feet, trust myself, play the holes, be whatever I 678 00:30:17,708 --> 00:30:20,188 Speaker 1: can be, all my gifts, use them at the highest level. 679 00:30:20,748 --> 00:30:22,548 Speaker 1: And then I watched him go out there and do 680 00:30:22,708 --> 00:30:24,548 Speaker 1: the same thing with Clinton Porters. And then I saw 681 00:30:24,628 --> 00:30:26,668 Speaker 1: him to do that with the Arizona Cardinals with Johnson, 682 00:30:26,788 --> 00:30:28,748 Speaker 1: and then you see mccleveland and he's got you know, 683 00:30:28,868 --> 00:30:31,028 Speaker 1: great running backs there and Nick Chubb is just killing. 684 00:30:31,468 --> 00:30:33,428 Speaker 1: He just knows how to get everybody to go be 685 00:30:33,628 --> 00:30:36,148 Speaker 1: the best version of themselves.

Everybody played at a high level 688 00:30:40,348 --> 00:30:42,988 Speaker 1: with something Mitchell around, because he's that guy. He sees 689 00:30:43,108 --> 00:30:45,268 Speaker 1: one of the best running back coaches, if not the 690 00:30:45,308 --> 00:30:47,708 Speaker 1: best running back coach in the NFL history.
