A reason 33 00:01:48,188 --> 00:01:49,908 Speaker 8: for him to be here ahead of training camp like 34 00:01:49,948 --> 00:01:52,388 Speaker 8: that was the big reason to do this right now 35 00:01:52,428 --> 00:01:54,588 Speaker 8: for Rogers, from my understanding, was to get in some 36 00:01:54,668 --> 00:01:57,148 Speaker 8: work with his team, uh, to get in front of 37 00:01:57,188 --> 00:01:59,108 Speaker 8: them inside the locker room so that he wouldn't have 38 00:01:59,108 --> 00:02:01,668 Speaker 8: to come in cold at the start of training camp. 39 00:02:01,708 --> 00:02:04,948 Speaker 8: So that deal officially done, a one year deal. He 40 00:02:04,948 --> 00:02:07,988 Speaker 8: said he'd be willing to play for ten ms on 41 00:02:08,028 --> 00:02:10,348 Speaker 8: the Pat mcabee show a couple of months ago. Yeah, 42 00:02:10,388 --> 00:02:12,908 Speaker 8: ten million. It's higher than that, with a chance to 43 00:02:12,948 --> 00:02:16,268 Speaker 8: get up close to twenty with the incentives in the deal. 44 00:02:16,388 --> 00:02:18,108 Speaker 8: But it wasn't about the money. He was about the 45 00:02:18,188 --> 00:02:20,748 Speaker 8: right fit for Aaron Rodgers. And what makes this the 46 00:02:20,828 --> 00:02:23,908 Speaker 8: right fit from my understanding, is Mike Tomlin and the 47 00:02:23,948 --> 00:02:26,948 Speaker 8: way that Tomlin handled DK Metcalf as well as you 48 00:02:26,948 --> 00:02:30,948 Speaker 8: see Aaron Rodgers DK Metcalf who were throwing earlier this offseason. 49 00:02:30,948 --> 00:02:33,948 Speaker 8: But Mike Tomlin, Rogers spoke to a number of teams 50 00:02:33,988 --> 00:02:36,668 Speaker 8: this offseason. But my understanding is the way that Tomlin 51 00:02:37,028 --> 00:02:40,228 Speaker 8: went about the courting process only added to the respect 52 00:02:40,668 --> 00:02:43,188 Speaker 8: that he had for him already coming into. 53 00:02:42,988 --> 00:02:43,788 Speaker 7: The process here. 54 00:02:43,868 --> 00:02:46,948 Speaker 8: So Rogers really excited about the prospect of what he 55 00:02:47,028 --> 00:02:49,748 Speaker 8: and Tomlin can do together given all their experience both 56 00:02:49,788 --> 00:02:52,428 Speaker 8: as the head coach and a franchise quarterback. And it 57 00:02:52,508 --> 00:02:55,708 Speaker 8: begins in earnest today at the start of veteran mini 58 00:02:55,748 --> 00:02:57,388 Speaker 8: camp where TJ. 59 00:02:57,508 --> 00:02:59,548 Speaker 7: Watt, a veteran, a key veteran. 60 00:02:59,268 --> 00:03:02,708 Speaker 8: For the Pittsburgh Steelers, will not be in a tendency 61 00:03:02,708 --> 00:03:05,868 Speaker 8: in Rappaport and I are told via sources that his 62 00:03:05,988 --> 00:03:09,908 Speaker 8: absence this offseason will continue into the mandatory portion of 63 00:03:09,988 --> 00:03:10,668 Speaker 8: the off season. 64 00:03:10,748 --> 00:03:11,588 Speaker 7: Here, TJ. 65 00:03:11,708 --> 00:03:14,868 Speaker 8: Watts serious about showing the team that he is serious 66 00:03:14,868 --> 00:03:17,268 Speaker 8: about this contract extension that he has not gotten to 67 00:03:17,308 --> 00:03:20,268 Speaker 8: this point. We have seen pass rushers, including Miles Garrett, 68 00:03:20,428 --> 00:03:23,348 Speaker 8: his fellow pass rusher in the AFC North paid this offseason. 69 00:03:23,588 --> 00:03:26,428 Speaker 8: TJ wants his pay at this point, has not gotten it, 70 00:03:26,788 --> 00:03:29,428 Speaker 8: and is willing to be fined to prove a point 71 00:03:29,508 --> 00:03:29,868 Speaker 8: right now. 72 00:03:30,548 --> 00:03:33,308 Speaker 3: And you know it's real when Mike g has the 73 00:03:33,428 --> 00:03:36,148 Speaker 3: NFL Network Polo on all right, lots to cover no 74 00:03:36,148 --> 00:03:38,188 Speaker 3: one better than Mike Gerri Folo, Mike Ge, thank you 75 00:03:38,268 --> 00:03:40,708 Speaker 3: so much. I'm sure we'll be hearing more from him 76 00:03:40,748 --> 00:03:43,388 Speaker 3: than everything going down in Pittsburgh.

Because everybody talks 88 00:04:11,148 --> 00:04:13,388 Speaker 6: about how great he is. He's a first time, you know, 89 00:04:13,468 --> 00:04:15,148 Speaker 6: a first ballot Hall of Fame and we all know 90 00:04:15,188 --> 00:04:19,068 Speaker 6: all that, right, but everybody also says, well, he only 91 00:04:19,108 --> 00:04:21,828 Speaker 6: won one super Bowl, right, so he's going to go 92 00:04:21,868 --> 00:04:24,548 Speaker 6: in first ballot we all know, but can he say, 93 00:04:24,628 --> 00:04:26,948 Speaker 6: you know, I am one of the best ever because 94 00:04:26,988 --> 00:04:29,068 Speaker 6: I also win games. I don't want him to come 95 00:04:29,108 --> 00:04:31,868 Speaker 6: to Pittsburgh and yeah, we're going to go to the playoffs. Great, 96 00:04:31,908 --> 00:04:33,668 Speaker 6: and you know we're gonna go twelve and five. 97 00:04:33,908 --> 00:04:34,148 Speaker 4: Great. 98 00:04:34,508 --> 00:04:36,828 Speaker 6: Like I'm coming here to win a super Bowl.

I think if he 101 00:04:40,708 --> 00:04:43,508 Speaker 6: does that and give the team that early focus, I 102 00:04:43,508 --> 00:04:45,508 Speaker 6: think they have a shot. But him just to come 103 00:04:45,548 --> 00:04:47,348 Speaker 6: there and have fun for a year and you know, 104 00:04:47,468 --> 00:04:49,668 Speaker 6: kind of go out and you know, spin his wheels 105 00:04:49,668 --> 00:04:52,348 Speaker 6: with some new teammates, Like that's that's not helping anybody, right. 106 00:04:52,348 --> 00:04:54,348 Speaker 6: I wanted to come in and really kind of set 107 00:04:54,388 --> 00:04:56,508 Speaker 6: the effort I guess set the standards a little bit 108 00:04:56,628 --> 00:04:59,668 Speaker 6: higher for his career. In my personal opinion, you know. 109 00:04:59,668 --> 00:05:00,148 Speaker 4: I feel that. 110 00:05:00,308 --> 00:05:02,628 Speaker 9: I mean, I think there's probably two questions that I 111 00:05:02,668 --> 00:05:04,468 Speaker 9: have for Aaron Rodgers. First of all, we have the 112 00:05:04,508 --> 00:05:06,228 Speaker 9: picture of Aaron Rodgers. I'm not sure if we have 113 00:05:06,308 --> 00:05:08,788 Speaker 9: that if we can bring that up. But if you guys, look, 114 00:05:09,268 --> 00:05:12,188 Speaker 9: I'm not sure that I was aware that Aaron Rodgers 115 00:05:12,268 --> 00:05:12,788 Speaker 9: got married. 116 00:05:13,188 --> 00:05:17,068 Speaker 4: But Aaron Rodgers has a fat yeah, he has he's a. 117 00:05:16,988 --> 00:05:20,668 Speaker 9: Fat rings to the money, yeah, I know, listen the 118 00:05:20,748 --> 00:05:24,068 Speaker 9: Dark Knight the money on Listen, it's on there exactly. 119 00:05:24,068 --> 00:05:27,548 Speaker 9: It might be for the money, but no, in all seriousness, 120 00:05:27,628 --> 00:05:29,748 Speaker 9: I want to know from Aaron Rodgers how much work 121 00:05:29,748 --> 00:05:32,428 Speaker 9: did he think that they can do over the span 122 00:05:32,508 --> 00:05:33,148 Speaker 9: of training camp? 123 00:05:33,508 --> 00:05:35,188 Speaker 4: Right, he has mini camp for a week. 124 00:05:35,028 --> 00:05:37,188 Speaker 9: Or however many days, that is probably three days, and 125 00:05:37,188 --> 00:05:39,708 Speaker 9: then you have a break, right, you have about a 126 00:05:39,708 --> 00:05:41,868 Speaker 9: five week break, and then you go into training camp. 127 00:05:42,108 --> 00:05:44,868 Speaker 9: What is going to happen between Mini camp and training 128 00:05:44,868 --> 00:05:46,468 Speaker 9: camp that you're going to do to try to close 129 00:05:46,508 --> 00:05:47,988 Speaker 9: the gap for the time that you have missed with 130 00:05:48,068 --> 00:05:50,468 Speaker 9: your guys. We understand that you are a veteran. We 131 00:05:50,548 --> 00:05:52,908 Speaker 9: understand that you are one of the greatest of all time. 132 00:05:52,988 --> 00:05:55,708 Speaker 9: But this game of football is a collective one. It's 133 00:05:55,748 --> 00:05:59,268 Speaker 9: one that requires chemistry, is one that requires nonverbal communication. 134 00:05:59,468 --> 00:06:01,268 Speaker 9: It's one that requires you know, you being able to 135 00:06:01,308 --> 00:06:03,308 Speaker 9: throw the ball in certain places that they know that, 136 00:06:03,668 --> 00:06:06,308 Speaker 9: the timing, loft of velocity, all these things that you. 137 00:06:06,268 --> 00:06:07,948 Speaker 4: Have to get in sync with communication. 138 00:06:08,228 --> 00:06:10,188 Speaker 9: So during the time that you're a mini camp at 139 00:06:10,188 --> 00:06:12,268 Speaker 9: the time that training camp, how many days are you 140 00:06:12,308 --> 00:06:13,628 Speaker 9: going to be spending with your guys? 141 00:06:13,868 --> 00:06:13,988 Speaker 6: Right? 142 00:06:13,988 --> 00:06:15,108 Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying, Ha, did you understand it 143 00:06:15,228 --> 00:06:17,708 Speaker 9: as a receiver? How much time are you spending with those guys? 144 00:06:17,708 --> 00:06:20,628 Speaker 9: And then in training camp when you're on a pitch count, right, 145 00:06:20,828 --> 00:06:22,628 Speaker 9: how much work can you get done? What does that 146 00:06:22,748 --> 00:06:25,148 Speaker 9: daily work grind look like? How many times are you 147 00:06:25,188 --> 00:06:28,348 Speaker 9: meeting with these guys outside of organized meeting activities. 148 00:06:28,588 --> 00:06:29,468 Speaker 4: That's what I want to. 149 00:06:29,388 --> 00:06:31,628 Speaker 9: Know from Aaron Rodgers because it's not just about him 150 00:06:31,668 --> 00:06:34,148 Speaker 9: showing up and being prepared, it's about him being prepared 151 00:06:34,188 --> 00:06:35,468 Speaker 9: to being in sync with his teammates. 152 00:06:35,548 --> 00:06:37,508 Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think that the pictures of him at 153 00:06:37,588 --> 00:06:39,628 Speaker 6: UCLA with DECAFF is great, but I would like to 154 00:06:39,628 --> 00:06:42,348 Speaker 6: see the whole receiving core there, right, Like, Hey, bring 155 00:06:42,388 --> 00:06:45,028 Speaker 6: them all off the cali for three weeks or two weeks, right, 156 00:06:45,028 --> 00:06:47,188 Speaker 6: put them up really show that you're going to be 157 00:06:47,348 --> 00:06:50,268 Speaker 6: you know, I guess into this whole situation and I 158 00:06:50,268 --> 00:06:52,308 Speaker 6: think if they all out here working like that stuff, 159 00:06:52,388 --> 00:06:54,148 Speaker 6: doing that every single day, and then I can speed 160 00:06:54,228 --> 00:06:54,748 Speaker 6: up the process. 161 00:06:54,828 --> 00:06:58,588 Speaker 1: Sure, it's all fair, and it's the question of why 162 00:06:58,628 --> 00:07:00,428 Speaker 1: did this take so long, and he will be asked that. 163 00:07:00,628 --> 00:07:02,748 Speaker 1: He'll be asked that at least one time about why 164 00:07:02,828 --> 00:07:05,308 Speaker 1: are we waiting until now? Why didn't we have this 165 00:07:05,388 --> 00:07:08,708 Speaker 1: weeks ago?

I almost feel like there's a 172 00:07:20,868 --> 00:07:23,468 Speaker 1: game today. I'm so excited for this media session, like 173 00:07:23,468 --> 00:07:27,508 Speaker 1: it's just one of the most interesting, introspective guys who's 174 00:07:27,508 --> 00:07:29,268 Speaker 1: going to come up and be putting on a show 175 00:07:29,388 --> 00:07:31,868 Speaker 1: but also want to give genuine answers. 176 00:07:32,148 --> 00:07:33,428 Speaker 4: I love the Rogers stuff. 177 00:07:33,468 --> 00:07:35,188 Speaker 1: I will never get sick of hearing him talk, whether 178 00:07:35,188 --> 00:07:37,628 Speaker 1: I agree or don't agree. I want to hear everything. 179 00:07:37,788 --> 00:07:39,508 Speaker 1: What did you think of the series finale of the 180 00:07:39,548 --> 00:07:40,228 Speaker 1: Last of Us? 181 00:07:40,428 --> 00:07:42,908 Speaker 4: Who Want Trump? Or Elon? Did you see the Mission 182 00:07:42,908 --> 00:07:44,908 Speaker 4: Impossible movie? Did you think it was too long? 183 00:07:45,188 --> 00:07:47,908 Speaker 1: All of that, I want everything, And then it comes 184 00:07:47,948 --> 00:07:51,148 Speaker 1: to football. It's just a simple one word question. Why 185 00:07:51,988 --> 00:07:54,788 Speaker 1: why are you here, Aaron? Why are you deciding to 186 00:07:54,908 --> 00:07:58,828 Speaker 1: still play at forty one, when you've made all the money, 187 00:07:59,068 --> 00:08:02,468 Speaker 1: you've played all the football, you've assured, all of the legacy. 188 00:08:02,748 --> 00:08:06,068 Speaker 1: What is it because is it the kind of predictable Well, 189 00:08:06,148 --> 00:08:08,068 Speaker 1: I want to walk off with the super Bowl like 190 00:08:08,108 --> 00:08:11,268 Speaker 1: my hero John Elway. I don't know if the Steelers 191 00:08:11,308 --> 00:08:13,388 Speaker 1: are winning a super Bowl this year. Guys, I don't 192 00:08:13,428 --> 00:08:16,868 Speaker 1: think anybody truly believes that's a likelihood. It's not like 193 00:08:16,908 --> 00:08:19,348 Speaker 1: he's jumping onto something for a few years and can 194 00:08:19,388 --> 00:08:22,508 Speaker 1: build the Jets thing felt like, well, he'll spend a 195 00:08:22,548 --> 00:08:24,068 Speaker 1: couple of years there and they have a lot of 196 00:08:24,108 --> 00:08:26,908 Speaker 1: young talent. Maybe they can make a run. Pittsburgh feels different. 197 00:08:27,708 --> 00:08:30,748 Speaker 1: Their best player is not in camp. They never win 198 00:08:30,828 --> 00:08:34,348 Speaker 1: playoff games. Is like, I want to really hear, why 199 00:08:34,588 --> 00:08:36,788 Speaker 1: why are you coming back when you could have just 200 00:08:36,908 --> 00:08:39,388 Speaker 1: retired and walked off into the desert do whatever you 201 00:08:39,428 --> 00:08:42,188 Speaker 1: want to do. What is your motivation for coming back, 202 00:08:42,228 --> 00:08:45,628 Speaker 1: because apparently it's not to make every dollar that you can. 203 00:08:45,748 --> 00:08:48,748 Speaker 1: Because you took a huge pay cut and you're moving 204 00:08:48,828 --> 00:08:51,148 Speaker 1: and starting all of this over with a new media 205 00:08:51,228 --> 00:08:53,668 Speaker 1: and a new teammates, a new coach. It's got to 206 00:08:53,708 --> 00:08:56,588 Speaker 1: be exhausting for a guy who is at that age, 207 00:08:56,588 --> 00:08:58,988 Speaker 1: who has very little to prove. So I want to 208 00:08:59,068 --> 00:09:02,108 Speaker 1: question six different ways why, and I don't want them 209 00:09:02,148 --> 00:09:04,268 Speaker 1: to settle for just I want to win a super Bowl. 210 00:09:04,388 --> 00:09:06,468 Speaker 1: I'm really showed up to the Jets press conference. He 211 00:09:06,508 --> 00:09:08,588 Speaker 1: had his little line about that I saw the Lombardi 212 00:09:08,628 --> 00:09:10,828 Speaker 1: Trophy and the lobby and Suthing looked lonely. That was 213 00:09:10,908 --> 00:09:13,868 Speaker 1: very cute. I think things have changed now. The Jets 214 00:09:13,868 --> 00:09:16,828 Speaker 1: thing didn't go well. It was really a disaster. So 215 00:09:16,908 --> 00:09:18,588 Speaker 1: you're not going to show up and be like, well, 216 00:09:18,628 --> 00:09:20,988 Speaker 1: I want another super Bowl ring for these Steelers fans. 217 00:09:21,228 --> 00:09:22,828 Speaker 1: I don't think I'll show up with a line like that. 218 00:09:22,948 --> 00:09:25,588 Speaker 1: I think I'll show up straight, business like. And I 219 00:09:25,668 --> 00:09:27,468 Speaker 1: just can't hear enough. Why I got to hear it. 220 00:09:27,948 --> 00:09:30,708 Speaker 6: I think that's the why is that's why he came 221 00:09:30,748 --> 00:09:33,228 Speaker 6: in June and not a month ago, right, not two 222 00:09:33,268 --> 00:09:36,028 Speaker 6: months ago. I think that's what he's saying, like, I'm 223 00:09:36,148 --> 00:09:38,388 Speaker 6: enjoying my offseason. I'm not going to go ahead and 224 00:09:38,468 --> 00:09:41,348 Speaker 6: just go out here and sign too early. I'm going 225 00:09:41,428 --> 00:09:43,428 Speaker 6: to enjoy a little bit more. Right So, now he's 226 00:09:43,428 --> 00:09:44,948 Speaker 6: going to do a lot less in training camp, a 227 00:09:44,988 --> 00:09:47,388 Speaker 6: lot less at OTA's and I think that's probably have 228 00:09:47,428 --> 00:09:48,268 Speaker 6: a lot to do with them too. 229 00:09:48,428 --> 00:09:50,188 Speaker 9: Yeah, and that's why I keep going back to we 230 00:09:50,188 --> 00:09:52,228 Speaker 9: we don't have any questions, no if ans or butts 231 00:09:52,228 --> 00:09:54,788 Speaker 9: on whether or not Aaron Rodgers is going to be ready. 232 00:09:54,868 --> 00:09:56,508 Speaker 9: We don't have any questions whether or not he's going 233 00:09:56,548 --> 00:09:58,628 Speaker 9: to be able to take on this playbook, be able 234 00:09:58,628 --> 00:09:59,308 Speaker 9: to communicate. 235 00:09:59,428 --> 00:10:01,828 Speaker 4: None of those questions regarding Aaron Rodgers. 236 00:10:02,108 --> 00:10:04,508 Speaker 9: But this game of football, at the quarterback position, you 237 00:10:04,548 --> 00:10:07,108 Speaker 9: are responsible for the other ten guys on the field. 238 00:10:07,228 --> 00:10:09,828 Speaker 9: You have to communicate with your offensive line. You need 239 00:10:09,868 --> 00:10:11,388 Speaker 9: to be in sync with your center. They need to 240 00:10:11,468 --> 00:10:14,748 Speaker 9: understand your cadence, your snap count, your receivers, the communication, 241 00:10:14,868 --> 00:10:17,788 Speaker 9: the signs, what's going to be the nonverbal communication that's 242 00:10:17,828 --> 00:10:20,028 Speaker 9: going on right Those are the things that matter with 243 00:10:20,108 --> 00:10:23,468 Speaker 9: your team. And Aaron Rodgers now showing up when he is, 244 00:10:23,668 --> 00:10:27,388 Speaker 9: when it's mandatory for him to be there now under contract, 245 00:10:28,228 --> 00:10:31,428 Speaker 9: is inconvenienced to me to everybody else because that time 246 00:10:31,508 --> 00:10:33,468 Speaker 9: period that I was talking about when everybody else is 247 00:10:33,508 --> 00:10:35,548 Speaker 9: been working, they've been doing OTAs and now they're doing 248 00:10:35,588 --> 00:10:38,028 Speaker 9: mini camp. There's that break where guys go spend time 249 00:10:38,068 --> 00:10:39,828 Speaker 9: with their families. There's a number of guys. We just 250 00:10:39,868 --> 00:10:42,228 Speaker 9: has somebody on here now who's having a baby, right, 251 00:10:42,268 --> 00:10:43,588 Speaker 9: so that's their time with their family. 252 00:10:43,828 --> 00:10:45,228 Speaker 4: Now. Aaron Rodgers is coming in. 253 00:10:45,188 --> 00:10:47,308 Speaker 9: And saying, Hey, instead of you guys going on vacation, 254 00:10:47,548 --> 00:10:49,148 Speaker 9: I need you guys to be on site with me 255 00:10:49,428 --> 00:10:50,988 Speaker 9: working so that we can close this gap. 256 00:10:51,148 --> 00:10:52,708 Speaker 4: That's unfair to his teammates. 257 00:10:52,748 --> 00:10:54,388 Speaker 9: That's not to say that they're going to be unwilling 258 00:10:54,428 --> 00:10:56,308 Speaker 9: to do it, but I'm saying it's selfish in the 259 00:10:56,388 --> 00:10:58,788 Speaker 9: sense that he is now saying I'm here, now, give 260 00:10:58,828 --> 00:11:00,508 Speaker 9: me your free time so we can get be ready 261 00:11:00,548 --> 00:11:01,068 Speaker 9: for the season. 262 00:11:02,948 --> 00:11:06,828 Speaker 3: You know what, maybe on his honeymoon. Guys, clearly that's 263 00:11:06,828 --> 00:11:09,308 Speaker 3: what it is. And that's the rabbit hole I'm going 264 00:11:09,348 --> 00:11:10,828 Speaker 3: down on because that's what I want to hear now. 265 00:11:10,828 --> 00:11:12,708 Speaker 3: I want to know about the wedding the day lope, 266 00:11:12,828 --> 00:11:14,788 Speaker 3: what happened? Was it Brittany with and I was the 267 00:11:14,828 --> 00:11:16,908 Speaker 3: still the girlfriend that he was talking about back in December? 268 00:11:16,988 --> 00:11:18,948 Speaker 4: Maybe Plebstrey, but maybe. 269 00:11:18,788 --> 00:11:22,188 Speaker 3: It's a promising or the more likely scenario he is 270 00:11:22,228 --> 00:11:23,028 Speaker 3: married to the money. 271 00:11:24,828 --> 00:11:26,708 Speaker 2: I don't know, but I love it. 272 00:11:26,748 --> 00:11:29,508 Speaker 3: There's many many questions and by the way, Kyle, I'm 273 00:11:29,508 --> 00:11:30,948 Speaker 3: not Aaron Rodgers, but I'm going to answer it. 274 00:11:30,948 --> 00:11:32,628 Speaker 2: We needed one more episode of the Last of Us 275 00:11:32,628 --> 00:11:33,268 Speaker 2: for this season. 276 00:11:33,468 --> 00:11:35,948 Speaker 4: That's it. That's all I'm saying. I felt jipped. 277 00:11:36,108 --> 00:11:38,668 Speaker 2: Only seven got mar yet I'm not saying anything. 278 00:11:38,988 --> 00:11:41,348 Speaker 3: I'm just saying we needed one more, all right, and 279 00:11:41,388 --> 00:11:44,108 Speaker 3: we need one more person to join us. Now, let's 280 00:11:44,148 --> 00:11:46,788 Speaker 3: bring back Mike Garafolo, who is of course out in 281 00:11:46,828 --> 00:11:50,708 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh right what's going on with Kirk Cousins and the Falcons. 282 00:11:50,948 --> 00:11:52,668 Speaker 3: Just because they're in Pittsburgh doesn't mean, you know, not 283 00:11:52,708 --> 00:11:54,148 Speaker 3: touching the rest of the league there, Mike g. 284 00:11:55,668 --> 00:11:56,268 Speaker 7: Well, m Jay. 285 00:11:56,348 --> 00:11:58,588 Speaker 8: Once Aaron Rodgers decided to agree to terms with the 286 00:11:58,628 --> 00:12:02,628 Speaker 8: Pittsburgh Steelers, that really took the last seemingly clear landing 287 00:12:02,668 --> 00:12:04,868 Speaker 8: spot for Kirk Cousins if he was going to be 288 00:12:04,868 --> 00:12:07,948 Speaker 8: traded from the Atlanta Falcons to somewhere to be a 289 00:12:08,028 --> 00:12:11,988 Speaker 8: starting quarterback, because everybody else is pretty much settled. So Cousins, 290 00:12:12,228 --> 00:12:13,908 Speaker 8: who has sort of been in and out of the 291 00:12:13,908 --> 00:12:16,068 Speaker 8: Falcons off season but was there for the startup off 292 00:12:16,108 --> 00:12:19,748 Speaker 8: season workouts. He will be at mandatory mini camp today 293 00:12:19,908 --> 00:12:22,588 Speaker 8: and in speaking to a few folks who know Kirk 294 00:12:22,628 --> 00:12:25,388 Speaker 8: Cousins well, both inside and outside the building in Atlanta. 295 00:12:25,948 --> 00:12:29,268 Speaker 8: The joke that seems to be a common one is 296 00:12:29,308 --> 00:12:32,428 Speaker 8: that there's no way Kirk Cousins, as thrifty as he is, 297 00:12:32,468 --> 00:12:35,428 Speaker 8: despite making hundreds of millions of dollars over his career, 298 00:12:35,708 --> 00:12:38,268 Speaker 8: is going to subject himself to one hundred thousand dollars 299 00:12:38,628 --> 00:12:41,868 Speaker 8: in fine. So Cousins will be in the building. We 300 00:12:41,908 --> 00:12:44,228 Speaker 8: don't know what his future holds. The Falcons have said 301 00:12:44,308 --> 00:12:46,308 Speaker 8: all along. By the way, Kyle Pitts right there, who 302 00:12:46,348 --> 00:12:48,508 Speaker 8: caught a past, he is in the building for mandatory 303 00:12:48,588 --> 00:12:49,028 Speaker 8: mini camp. 304 00:12:49,028 --> 00:12:51,628 Speaker 7: In case you were questioning that one, I am told there. 305 00:12:52,028 --> 00:12:54,948 Speaker 8: But with Kirk Cousins and the Falcons, they've said all 306 00:12:54,988 --> 00:12:56,908 Speaker 8: along that they would be comfortable with him being the 307 00:12:56,948 --> 00:12:59,028 Speaker 8: backup to Michael Pennix. I know that a lot of 308 00:12:59,068 --> 00:13:00,748 Speaker 8: folks say, do you really want that? Do you really 309 00:13:00,748 --> 00:13:03,628 Speaker 8: want him looking over Pennix's shoulder. But the Falcons have 310 00:13:03,628 --> 00:13:05,268 Speaker 8: said they're not just going to give Kirk Cunns away. 311 00:13:05,308 --> 00:13:08,468 Speaker 8: They allowed a ten million dollars guarantee for next year 312 00:13:08,508 --> 00:13:11,388 Speaker 8: to trigger earlier this offseason without releasing him. So the 313 00:13:11,388 --> 00:13:14,068 Speaker 8: Falcons continue to operate as if Kirk Cousins will be 314 00:13:14,148 --> 00:13:16,628 Speaker 8: there back up, and at this point he pretty much 315 00:13:16,748 --> 00:13:19,828 Speaker 8: is as well, barring an injury to a starter sometime 316 00:13:19,868 --> 00:13:21,908 Speaker 8: in training camp for the preseason, maybe even early in 317 00:13:21,948 --> 00:13:23,948 Speaker 8: the regular season. It looks like the path right now 318 00:13:24,188 --> 00:13:26,348 Speaker 8: is for Cousins to be in Atlanta, but will continue 319 00:13:26,348 --> 00:13:27,628 Speaker 8: to keep an eye on that one. 320 00:13:27,468 --> 00:13:29,868 Speaker 7: For now for mandatory miniicap. He is there. 321 00:13:29,948 --> 00:13:30,108 Speaker 4: MG. 322 00:13:30,468 --> 00:13:33,028 Speaker 3: Perfect, Thanks Mike ge He just laid the path down 323 00:13:33,068 --> 00:13:36,308 Speaker 3: for us to get to our second down. Guys, what 324 00:13:36,468 --> 00:13:39,628 Speaker 3: is the best case scenario for Kirk Cousins this season? 325 00:13:39,788 --> 00:13:40,028 Speaker 2: Hat? 326 00:13:40,308 --> 00:13:42,468 Speaker 6: I think he's in it. I think that he's in 327 00:13:42,468 --> 00:13:45,868 Speaker 6: a perfect scenario. I think he's not going into saying 328 00:13:45,868 --> 00:13:48,108 Speaker 6: I have to play seventeen games. I might have to 329 00:13:48,108 --> 00:13:50,028 Speaker 6: play three or four. I can play well for three 330 00:13:50,108 --> 00:13:53,188 Speaker 6: and four three and four games. The biggest I think 331 00:13:53,548 --> 00:13:56,148 Speaker 6: caveat of all of this is Michael Pennix. He's got 332 00:13:56,188 --> 00:14:01,188 Speaker 6: another coach, slash player, slash friend, slash mentor behind him 333 00:14:01,228 --> 00:14:03,188 Speaker 6: that he can talk to and learn the game and 334 00:14:03,268 --> 00:14:05,268 Speaker 6: learn to be a professional. So I think it's a 335 00:14:05,268 --> 00:14:08,628 Speaker 6: perfect marriage for that quarterback room in Atlanta. I think 336 00:14:08,628 --> 00:14:12,108 Speaker 6: they're both going to be helping each other throughout the season. 337 00:14:12,548 --> 00:14:14,508 Speaker 6: I think the Falcon could probably have a sneaky good 338 00:14:14,548 --> 00:14:17,308 Speaker 6: season this year. But I think from that quarterback room, 339 00:14:17,388 --> 00:14:19,668 Speaker 6: that's the best case you can have. Best case scenario. 340 00:14:19,988 --> 00:14:23,028 Speaker 6: You can have a veteran quarterback who doesn't have that 341 00:14:23,228 --> 00:14:26,548 Speaker 6: characteristic of being jealous or being a hater, nothing like that. 342 00:14:26,628 --> 00:14:29,828 Speaker 6: He's going to help Michael Pennis become a good pro 343 00:14:29,988 --> 00:14:30,748 Speaker 6: in this league. 344 00:14:31,228 --> 00:14:33,708 Speaker 4: I think it's a best case scenario for the Atlanta Falcons. 345 00:14:33,788 --> 00:14:35,948 Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm not sure it's best case scenario for Kirk Cousins, 346 00:14:36,588 --> 00:14:38,868 Speaker 9: But the reality is it's one of those it is 347 00:14:38,908 --> 00:14:40,148 Speaker 9: what it is type situations. 348 00:14:40,388 --> 00:14:41,868 Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins is locked in. 349 00:14:41,948 --> 00:14:43,708 Speaker 9: We talked about dug in for guys, trying to hold 350 00:14:43,708 --> 00:14:45,628 Speaker 9: out all the money he's dug in because all he 351 00:14:45,668 --> 00:14:47,748 Speaker 9: does is get the bad. Kirk Cousins signed one hundred 352 00:14:47,748 --> 00:14:50,268 Speaker 9: and eighty million dollars contract for four years. Obviously prior 353 00:14:50,308 --> 00:14:53,068 Speaker 9: to them drafting Michael Pennix. That's been the big hoopla, 354 00:14:53,068 --> 00:14:54,788 Speaker 9: that's been the question. And then he went out there, 355 00:14:54,788 --> 00:14:57,108 Speaker 9: his performance went down. Michael Pennix, their first round pick, 356 00:14:57,148 --> 00:15:00,348 Speaker 9: steps in. It starts taking the rings. The issue is 357 00:15:00,868 --> 00:15:03,468 Speaker 9: Kirk Cousins has a no trade clause, So he's in 358 00:15:03,508 --> 00:15:06,548 Speaker 9: Atlanta for two reas either A nobody saw him as 359 00:15:06,548 --> 00:15:09,188 Speaker 9: a starter, or B he wants to be in Atlanta 360 00:15:09,228 --> 00:15:10,188 Speaker 9: because he feels like it's the. 361 00:15:10,108 --> 00:15:11,188 Speaker 4: Best situation for him. 362 00:15:11,348 --> 00:15:14,628 Speaker 9: He had a ninety million dollars guarantee in his contract. 363 00:15:14,788 --> 00:15:17,588 Speaker 9: By going past the March fifteenth deadline this past this 364 00:15:17,628 --> 00:15:20,788 Speaker 9: past March, it triggered the ten million dollars. Like Mike 365 00:15:20,828 --> 00:15:23,348 Speaker 9: g just said, so now he has one hundred million 366 00:15:23,388 --> 00:15:26,948 Speaker 9: dollars guarantee. This is the highest paid backup in the 367 00:15:27,068 --> 00:15:28,588 Speaker 9: history of NFL. 368 00:15:28,868 --> 00:15:30,268 Speaker 4: He is going nowhere. 369 00:15:30,348 --> 00:15:33,508 Speaker 9: So to that point, we've seen other quarterbacks aka Joe 370 00:15:33,548 --> 00:15:36,868 Speaker 9: flaccol pretty much say I'm no mentor, right. Does Kirk 371 00:15:36,908 --> 00:15:39,508 Speaker 9: Cousin want to be a mentor for Michael Pennix? I 372 00:15:39,588 --> 00:15:42,428 Speaker 9: don't know, But the situation is what it is for him. 373 00:15:42,708 --> 00:15:45,188 Speaker 9: Nobody in the league, got all thirty two teams, sees 374 00:15:45,268 --> 00:15:47,828 Speaker 9: him as a starter. So the best situation for him 375 00:15:47,868 --> 00:15:49,988 Speaker 9: is to sit up there, count one hundred million dollars 376 00:15:50,068 --> 00:15:52,748 Speaker 9: and be ready whenever they call on your number in 377 00:15:52,828 --> 00:15:54,308 Speaker 9: case of a break glass scenario. 378 00:15:54,548 --> 00:15:56,188 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's not what you said. 379 00:15:56,268 --> 00:15:58,068 Speaker 4: That's the best case that's the best case. 380 00:15:58,708 --> 00:16:02,748 Speaker 1: It's and then Penix the best cases Penix doesn't have it. 381 00:16:02,908 --> 00:16:04,868 Speaker 1: They start two and four and they say him down, 382 00:16:05,268 --> 00:16:06,748 Speaker 1: and they put Cousins in, and he goes on a 383 00:16:06,788 --> 00:16:07,988 Speaker 1: run and wins the NFC South. 384 00:16:08,028 --> 00:16:09,308 Speaker 4: That's the best case scenario. 385 00:16:09,668 --> 00:16:12,148 Speaker 1: The more likely scenario is Kirk Cousins just is very 386 00:16:12,148 --> 00:16:13,628 Speaker 1: comfortable in his role of a backup. 387 00:16:13,628 --> 00:16:14,628 Speaker 4: I don't know if he'll be comfortable. 388 00:16:14,628 --> 00:16:16,908 Speaker 1: We'll probably be good at it, though, that's probably the 389 00:16:16,908 --> 00:16:17,428 Speaker 1: reality here. 390 00:16:17,468 --> 00:16:19,468 Speaker 4: I also have to comment Mike. 391 00:16:19,268 --> 00:16:22,788 Speaker 1: Garrifolo's report, which is very funny that Kirk Cousins would 392 00:16:22,828 --> 00:16:25,708 Speaker 1: not dare give away one hundred thousand dollars for missing practice. 393 00:16:25,748 --> 00:16:27,868 Speaker 4: It's totally true. I completely buy it. 394 00:16:28,028 --> 00:16:30,588 Speaker 1: This is a guy Kirk Cousins who eats at TGA 395 00:16:30,748 --> 00:16:33,348 Speaker 1: Fridays and pays with a gift card, Like this is 396 00:16:33,348 --> 00:16:34,308 Speaker 1: a different. 397 00:16:34,108 --> 00:16:34,828 Speaker 4: Type of dude. 398 00:16:34,868 --> 00:16:37,108 Speaker 1: He's not just giving away one hundred grand. And I 399 00:16:37,148 --> 00:16:40,468 Speaker 1: also like Mike your journalistic integrity. Mike uses the word 400 00:16:40,788 --> 00:16:43,548 Speaker 1: thrifty thrifty, which is the gentleman's. 401 00:16:43,068 --> 00:16:46,028 Speaker 4: Way of saying cheap as hell. So great report. 402 00:16:46,108 --> 00:16:47,908 Speaker 1: I completely buy it, and I think that is a 403 00:16:47,908 --> 00:16:49,788 Speaker 1: factor here. And when you're here, it's Friday. 404 00:16:50,068 --> 00:16:54,668 Speaker 3: I like to say fiscally responsible, okay, and that's economy. 405 00:16:55,268 --> 00:16:55,908 Speaker 4: Absolutely. 406 00:16:56,148 --> 00:16:58,588 Speaker 3: I'm not giving away five dollars at one hundred thousand. 407 00:16:59,108 --> 00:16:59,628 Speaker 6: Let's be sure. 408 00:16:59,908 --> 00:17:05,868 Speaker 9: Let's say for real giveaways a couple maybe when I'm thristy, 409 00:17:06,228 --> 00:17:06,828 Speaker 9: when I said the. 410 00:17:06,788 --> 00:17:11,308 Speaker 6: Boy got his own money, the boy got his own money. 411 00:17:10,908 --> 00:17:12,068 Speaker 2: I wouldn't even know what that's like. 412 00:17:12,188 --> 00:17:13,508 Speaker 6: That's why I'm being through ya. 413 00:17:16,308 --> 00:17:18,508 Speaker 3: Welcome back everybody. And if it's one thing we love 414 00:17:19,028 --> 00:17:22,068 Speaker 3: at the breakfast table, over some ta facito, it's a 415 00:17:22,068 --> 00:17:22,668 Speaker 3: story time. 416 00:17:23,028 --> 00:17:25,148 Speaker 2: And Hatch, it's your turn. 417 00:17:25,228 --> 00:17:27,708 Speaker 3: Because we were drafted by the Minnesota Vikings. Inspent your 418 00:17:27,748 --> 00:17:30,188 Speaker 3: early years with Hall of Famer Chris Carter and then 419 00:17:30,228 --> 00:17:32,868 Speaker 3: Randy Moss. So what was it like joining that wide 420 00:17:32,868 --> 00:17:34,628 Speaker 3: receiver room. I have a small college. 421 00:17:34,628 --> 00:17:36,828 Speaker 6: Well, I mean I got there before Randy, right, So 422 00:17:36,868 --> 00:17:38,508 Speaker 6: I got there now just so people know, just so 423 00:17:38,548 --> 00:17:42,028 Speaker 6: people know, right, Yeah, I got there before Randy. Then 424 00:17:42,348 --> 00:17:44,468 Speaker 6: I was there with Chris Carter and Jake Reid. Big 425 00:17:45,148 --> 00:17:48,348 Speaker 6: people forget about Jake Reid against six three two fifteen. 426 00:17:48,628 --> 00:17:50,908 Speaker 6: I had a couple of thousand yard receiver receiving yards 427 00:17:50,948 --> 00:17:53,388 Speaker 6: before I got there, So you know, it was a 428 00:17:53,428 --> 00:17:56,028 Speaker 6: big receiver room, and when mass came right, we were 429 00:17:56,308 --> 00:17:59,668 Speaker 6: considered that that ninety eighteen like probably best offense in 430 00:17:59,868 --> 00:18:02,428 Speaker 6: NFL history. Right, Literally, we had set all the numbers, 431 00:18:02,468 --> 00:18:05,788 Speaker 6: the records had all that, and then everybody was six 432 00:18:05,868 --> 00:18:09,428 Speaker 6: three sixty four. And then that next year the Packers started, 433 00:18:09,588 --> 00:18:12,588 Speaker 6: you know, they're in our conference, they started drafting big corners, 434 00:18:13,028 --> 00:18:15,668 Speaker 6: and so the ninety eight Vikings, that team kind of 435 00:18:15,708 --> 00:18:19,468 Speaker 6: changed the whole dynamic of what defenses were doing to offenses. 436 00:18:19,508 --> 00:18:22,148 Speaker 6: It's the first time he's seen six' one sixty two 437 00:18:22,308 --> 00:18:24,468 Speaker 6: corners because they were trying to match up with us 438 00:18:24,468 --> 00:18:27,188 Speaker 6: and on the. Outside and so since then it's kind 439 00:18:27,188 --> 00:18:29,668 Speaker 6: of been, now you, know all the receivers on the 440 00:18:29,708 --> 00:18:32,748 Speaker 6: outside six three sixty, four everybodys getting, bigger, right longer 441 00:18:32,908 --> 00:18:35,708 Speaker 6: length on the outside as, corners and now The states 442 00:18:35,788 --> 00:18:37,948 Speaker 6: are going back to being small on the inside because 443 00:18:37,948 --> 00:18:40,388 Speaker 6: they have to move. More so that ninety Eight vikings 444 00:18:40,388 --> 00:18:42,068 Speaker 6: team kind of changed the whole dynamic of THE. 445 00:18:42,148 --> 00:18:46,108 Speaker 1: Nfl Now i've, asked what CAN i ask some more 446 00:18:46,188 --> 00:18:47,188 Speaker 1: questions about the ninety Eight. 447 00:18:47,228 --> 00:18:49,948 Speaker 4: Vikings, absolutely. 448 00:18:50,508 --> 00:18:54,708 Speaker 10: Because this IS i, mean this is a prolific prolific, 449 00:18:54,828 --> 00:18:59,028 Speaker 10: team like you, mentioned really an historic team that is 450 00:18:59,188 --> 00:19:02,308 Speaker 10: one of the all time what could have been moments 451 00:19:02,348 --> 00:19:03,228 Speaker 10: because of what happened in the. 452 00:19:03,268 --> 00:19:04,908 Speaker 1: Playoffs And i'm not bringing that up to twist the. 453 00:19:04,948 --> 00:19:07,708 Speaker 1: Knife it's just those of us remember watching the game 454 00:19:08,228 --> 00:19:11,188 Speaker 1: in THE.
