Dan Hans 9 00:00:50,508 --> 00:00:52,148 Speaker 1: has probably had a little bit of trick. Yeah, well, 10 00:00:52,228 --> 00:00:53,908 Speaker 1: let's throw that out. I think the Bills. I think 11 00:00:53,908 --> 00:00:55,548 Speaker 1: the Bills will be one Peter and post the question 12 00:00:55,588 --> 00:00:57,988 Speaker 1: go ahead. Do you think Dan hands Is, who has 13 00:00:58,028 --> 00:01:00,028 Speaker 1: such a grasp on the league, has the courage to 14 00:01:00,028 --> 00:01:03,028 Speaker 1: put the Indianapolis Colts, a team that everyone had win 15 00:01:03,748 --> 00:01:06,188 Speaker 1: thirty second, had a thirty two teams and power rankings. 16 00:01:06,428 --> 00:01:09,908 Speaker 1: I can't find another team to put below them. This 17 00:01:09,948 --> 00:01:13,268 Speaker 1: week you get shout out at Jacksonville and you're rough 18 00:01:13,308 --> 00:01:15,828 Speaker 1: power rankings coming up later in the show, yea curiously, 19 00:01:15,948 --> 00:01:18,708 Speaker 1: but before that, it's a lead block. Lee Black this 20 00:01:18,788 --> 00:01:21,068 Speaker 1: factoid coming from Chris Brown of one of Bills Live 21 00:01:21,148 --> 00:01:25,068 Speaker 1: a Luminarian Buffalo. The last twenty Buffalo Bills wins in 22 00:01:25,068 --> 00:01:28,748 Speaker 1: a row have been by double digits twenty watch strange. 23 00:01:28,868 --> 00:01:31,268 Speaker 1: That is tying an NFL record set by the nineteen 24 00:01:31,388 --> 00:01:34,868 Speaker 1: forty one Chicago Bears. That is a factoid. Look it up. 25 00:01:35,108 --> 00:01:37,348 Speaker 1: Find a Bills win in their last twenty wins that 26 00:01:37,468 --> 00:01:40,268 Speaker 1: is not by double digits. They have not one had 27 00:01:40,348 --> 00:01:44,228 Speaker 1: to win a close game in a long time. They 28 00:01:44,308 --> 00:01:46,868 Speaker 1: either lose or destroy the person. The Bills and the 29 00:01:46,908 --> 00:01:49,828 Speaker 1: Eagles are both now two and oh. So we look 30 00:01:49,868 --> 00:01:51,988 Speaker 1: back now at the entire slate of games. It was 31 00:01:51,988 --> 00:01:55,068 Speaker 1: a ridiculous Sunday. We all enjoyed it Monday night. The 32 00:01:55,388 --> 00:01:57,188 Speaker 1: good teams played great. Let's just leave it at that. 33 00:01:57,228 --> 00:01:59,868 Speaker 1: But who showed us the most in Week two? There 34 00:01:59,948 --> 00:02:01,988 Speaker 1: was a whole pile of teams to pick from. Yeah, 35 00:02:02,028 --> 00:02:04,108 Speaker 1: we love to talk about them in the off season, 36 00:02:04,148 --> 00:02:07,508 Speaker 1: in the preseason. I'm going with to Dallas Cowboys. They 37 00:02:07,508 --> 00:02:10,028 Speaker 1: showed me the most Week two lost the face of 38 00:02:10,068 --> 00:02:13,668 Speaker 1: the franchise and Dak Prescott. Michael Gallup's not playing. They 39 00:02:13,748 --> 00:02:16,468 Speaker 1: lost time Round Smith. He's not playing he's due to injury. 40 00:02:16,628 --> 00:02:19,428 Speaker 1: And we all said that Cowboys are through and they 41 00:02:19,468 --> 00:02:22,068 Speaker 1: came out in week two and they beat the defending 42 00:02:22,148 --> 00:02:25,708 Speaker 1: AFC champs and a lot of it. Michael Parsons and 43 00:02:25,788 --> 00:02:29,148 Speaker 1: that defense. Michael Parson has four sacks already through two weeks, 44 00:02:29,268 --> 00:02:31,908 Speaker 1: and that doesn't even add all the pressure QB hits 45 00:02:32,108 --> 00:02:36,068 Speaker 1: and everything that he has done for this defense. Cooper Rush, 46 00:02:36,108 --> 00:02:38,908 Speaker 1: Cooper Rock about Rush. We sat here last week, We're 47 00:02:38,908 --> 00:02:41,468 Speaker 1: like Cooper Rush, Like, who is this guy? Is there 48 00:02:41,508 --> 00:02:45,108 Speaker 1: another starter in the NFL that's undefeated and their career 49 00:02:45,188 --> 00:02:48,228 Speaker 1: starts right now. Cooper Rush is out there, look at him. 50 00:02:48,228 --> 00:02:52,308 Speaker 1: They're fired up getting it done. Jerry Jones said, it's 51 00:02:52,348 --> 00:02:55,468 Speaker 1: one of the greatest feelings I can remember in a 52 00:02:55,548 --> 00:02:58,748 Speaker 1: long time. That's how you described to win in week two, 53 00:02:59,068 --> 00:03:02,588 Speaker 1: then beating the Cincinnati Bengals. For me, this Cowboy team, 54 00:03:02,588 --> 00:03:05,228 Speaker 1: you've seen them celebrating on the sideline. They're fired up. 55 00:03:05,308 --> 00:03:08,948 Speaker 1: Jerry's fired up. Find some body to hug a beautiful thing. 56 00:03:08,988 --> 00:03:11,548 Speaker 1: The Cowboys. They were able to come victorious in week 57 00:03:11,588 --> 00:03:14,308 Speaker 1: two after going through losing Dack in week one. Nice 58 00:03:14,348 --> 00:03:15,988 Speaker 1: way to respond, It is a nice way. And here's 59 00:03:16,028 --> 00:03:17,348 Speaker 1: a nice way for me to respond to you're gonna 60 00:03:17,348 --> 00:03:19,708 Speaker 1: talk about defense. The most impressive defense in the NFL 61 00:03:19,708 --> 00:03:21,508 Speaker 1: through two weeks has been the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I'm 62 00:03:21,508 --> 00:03:24,348 Speaker 1: gonna go with the Bucks. They wiped out the Cowboys, 63 00:03:24,348 --> 00:03:26,828 Speaker 1: and that was including the Cowboys with DAC. They wiped 64 00:03:26,828 --> 00:03:28,908 Speaker 1: out the Saints. Now here's the thing. There's a lot 65 00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:31,388 Speaker 1: of shiny objects with Tampa Bay right now, and it 66 00:03:31,468 --> 00:03:34,068 Speaker 1: is Tom Brady and being all upset and all the 67 00:03:34,148 --> 00:03:36,948 Speaker 1: mystery and intrigue with him, and there's photos of him 68 00:03:36,988 --> 00:03:39,588 Speaker 1: where it's almost unsettling. I don't know if he looks well. 69 00:03:39,628 --> 00:03:42,268 Speaker 1: And I mean that Mike Evans is suspended. There there's 70 00:03:42,308 --> 00:03:45,388 Speaker 1: all these shiny objects. Don't look away from the prize, 71 00:03:45,428 --> 00:03:48,748 Speaker 1: which is Devin White at Al wrecking people on the field. 72 00:03:49,068 --> 00:03:51,708 Speaker 1: Don't forget that the Super Bowl win was Devin White 73 00:03:51,748 --> 00:03:54,828 Speaker 1: at Al wrecking people on the field. They have the 74 00:03:54,868 --> 00:03:57,148 Speaker 1: Packers this week. It is probably the biggest game of 75 00:03:57,148 --> 00:04:00,388 Speaker 1: the week. Their defense has been awesome, like the best 76 00:04:00,468 --> 00:04:04,628 Speaker 1: in the league. Pick six is sacks, everything, just fight 77 00:04:04,748 --> 00:04:06,788 Speaker 1: all the stuff that is going on. And despite the 78 00:04:07,108 --> 00:04:09,588 Speaker 1: Brady can't beat the Saints. They have such a terrible 79 00:04:09,628 --> 00:04:13,268 Speaker 1: history in the super Dome, suspensions, fights everything, they're two 80 00:04:12,948 --> 00:04:16,828 Speaker 1: and they're cruising. Todd Bowles is animated on the sideline. 81 00:04:16,868 --> 00:04:18,908 Speaker 1: I like what Tampa has going on in spite of it, 82 00:04:18,988 --> 00:04:21,068 Speaker 1: Like this two shall pass. They're gonna get through some 83 00:04:21,068 --> 00:04:22,788 Speaker 1: stuff right now in the meantime. Just what do we 84 00:04:22,788 --> 00:04:25,588 Speaker 1: say all the time? Peter, just stack wins, stack wins, 85 00:04:25,628 --> 00:04:27,348 Speaker 1: play defense. You'll get where you need to be. The 86 00:04:27,388 --> 00:04:29,148 Speaker 1: Bucks for me, after two weeks looked good. There was 87 00:04:29,188 --> 00:04:31,788 Speaker 1: two wins on the road in very hostile and scopes 88 00:04:31,948 --> 00:04:35,068 Speaker 1: and they got wins. I think you said the Cowboys 89 00:04:35,068 --> 00:04:37,028 Speaker 1: had a turbulent offseason, our team we talked about. I 90 00:04:37,028 --> 00:04:38,628 Speaker 1: think no team had a more turbulent off season than 91 00:04:38,628 --> 00:04:43,108 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. Yeah. Oh, Hopkins is suspended and Kyler 92 00:04:43,188 --> 00:04:46,388 Speaker 1: has his issues with the contract, and then lose forty 93 00:04:46,428 --> 00:04:49,468 Speaker 1: seven to seven in Week one, oh man, and then 94 00:04:49,508 --> 00:04:53,708 Speaker 1: they're down twenty to nothing. That's sixty seven to seven, 95 00:04:54,428 --> 00:04:58,508 Speaker 1: And I think this might have been a season saving 96 00:04:59,148 --> 00:05:01,588 Speaker 1: comeback for the Arizona Cardinals. I learned a lot about 97 00:05:01,588 --> 00:05:03,628 Speaker 1: what that locker room has going on and what Kyler 98 00:05:03,708 --> 00:05:07,988 Speaker 1: Murray capable of. This is the Kyler Murray You spend 99 00:05:08,028 --> 00:05:11,068 Speaker 1: all the money on It's like, you know, they write 100 00:05:11,108 --> 00:05:12,708 Speaker 1: up plays in the dirt and go figure it out. 101 00:05:12,788 --> 00:05:17,308 Speaker 1: Kyler an incredible comeback from twenty points down. He never quit, 102 00:05:17,748 --> 00:05:20,428 Speaker 1: He always had an answer, and it felt like the 103 00:05:20,508 --> 00:05:22,788 Speaker 1: Raiders just weren't even on the field in the second 104 00:05:22,788 --> 00:05:25,428 Speaker 1: half and over time because the Cardinals possessed the ball 105 00:05:25,468 --> 00:05:28,428 Speaker 1: the entire time. Kyler Murray takes his team back from 106 00:05:28,428 --> 00:05:30,148 Speaker 1: twenty to nothing on the road in a game that 107 00:05:30,148 --> 00:05:32,868 Speaker 1: everyone was firing the head coach online and saying that 108 00:05:32,908 --> 00:05:35,668 Speaker 1: they can hopefully get out of this contract somehow prematurely 109 00:05:35,748 --> 00:05:38,588 Speaker 1: because he doesn't have it. Cardinals are one and one, 110 00:05:39,148 --> 00:05:41,228 Speaker 1: just like the forty nine ers are, just like the 111 00:05:41,348 --> 00:05:44,828 Speaker 1: Rams are, just like the Seahawks are. And Kyler Murray 112 00:05:44,948 --> 00:05:49,148 Speaker 1: may have had as impressive a performance as any quarterback 113 00:05:49,188 --> 00:05:51,108 Speaker 1: in the league in Week two, and that includes Josh 114 00:05:51,108 --> 00:05:54,428 Speaker 1: Allen Jalen Hurts to a Tonga violoa and all the rest. 115 00:05:54,708 --> 00:05:57,388 Speaker 1: I cannot say how much. I cannot say enough about 116 00:05:57,868 --> 00:06:00,468 Speaker 1: the heart and the unity that that team had in 117 00:06:00,508 --> 00:06:03,148 Speaker 1: the second half, after everyone had already written them off 118 00:06:03,188 --> 00:06:07,468 Speaker 1: five halves into the three halves into their season. The 119 00:06:07,508 --> 00:06:09,668 Speaker 1: Cardinals are alive. They might not be alive and well, 120 00:06:09,908 --> 00:06:11,868 Speaker 1: but they are alive right now. And that is a 121 00:06:11,868 --> 00:06:13,588 Speaker 1: testament to Kyler Murray and that come back to that. 122 00:06:14,348 --> 00:06:17,188 Speaker 1: Alive and well in the AFC South would be the 123 00:06:17,268 --> 00:06:20,868 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars might gotta goodness, they gotta win, They gotta win, 124 00:06:20,948 --> 00:06:23,268 Speaker 1: they gotta shut out. They shut out the Colts at 125 00:06:23,268 --> 00:06:26,708 Speaker 1: home twenty four nothing and a well rounded win last 126 00:06:26,788 --> 00:06:28,948 Speaker 1: night would be considered the Bills. They looked great, the 127 00:06:29,028 --> 00:06:32,548 Speaker 1: Eagles well rounded, and the Jaguars every facet of the game. 128 00:06:32,588 --> 00:06:36,548 Speaker 1: For the Jacksonville Jaguars looked tremendous against the Colts. Trevor 129 00:06:36,628 --> 00:06:39,108 Speaker 1: Lawrence completed eighty three percent of his passings. He found 130 00:06:39,148 --> 00:06:42,548 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk twice. But the defense that other Josh Allen 131 00:06:42,588 --> 00:06:44,388 Speaker 1: in the league, the one that's not ranked thirteenth in 132 00:06:44,468 --> 00:06:47,068 Speaker 1: the top one hundred, the rookies, Devin Lloyd and Trayvon Walker. 133 00:06:47,108 --> 00:06:49,108 Speaker 1: They were all over the field. They sacked or they 134 00:06:49,228 --> 00:06:53,148 Speaker 1: picked off Matt Ryan three times. Jonathan Taylor, someone call 135 00:06:53,228 --> 00:06:55,348 Speaker 1: him an MVP caliber running back. I don't know who 136 00:06:55,348 --> 00:06:58,708 Speaker 1: those people are held to fifty four yards in this game. 137 00:06:59,028 --> 00:07:01,028 Speaker 1: This is an offense that is supposed to be an 138 00:07:01,028 --> 00:07:05,028 Speaker 1: AFC contender, and they held them scoreless. I always find 139 00:07:05,028 --> 00:07:07,188 Speaker 1: it fascinating when a team is unable to put points 140 00:07:07,188 --> 00:07:09,028 Speaker 1: on the board. You get down to the seven yard line, 141 00:07:09,148 --> 00:07:10,948 Speaker 1: the nine, put it through the uprights, put the three 142 00:07:10,988 --> 00:07:12,628 Speaker 1: on the board. Get shut out the professional level, and 143 00:07:12,748 --> 00:07:15,828 Speaker 1: not get shut out in a professional level in Jacksonville Jaguars. 144 00:07:15,868 --> 00:07:18,468 Speaker 1: And and but to circle back to Trevor Lawrence, I 145 00:07:18,508 --> 00:07:22,908 Speaker 1: think he looked comfortable and confident. It's almost like he's 146 00:07:22,948 --> 00:07:25,828 Speaker 1: well coached. I don't know. I think Doug Peterson is 147 00:07:25,908 --> 00:07:28,308 Speaker 1: such a fit and he knew Frank Reik. He knows 148 00:07:28,348 --> 00:07:30,748 Speaker 1: what Frankreike is gonna bring to the table. Tug Peterson 149 00:07:30,788 --> 00:07:33,268 Speaker 1: was all over this game. Jaguars looked good and this 150 00:07:33,308 --> 00:07:36,388 Speaker 1: isn't like a surprise. Congratulations, But it's only week two. 151 00:07:36,468 --> 00:07:38,948 Speaker 1: Like no, If the Jaguars keep playing like this, they 152 00:07:38,988 --> 00:07:42,148 Speaker 1: have a real legitimate shot to win this division. Yeah, 153 00:07:42,588 --> 00:07:45,148 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars week too. I love it. I think it's awesome. 154 00:07:45,148 --> 00:07:47,308 Speaker 1: It's the strangest division and by far and commanding what's 155 00:07:47,308 --> 00:07:49,908 Speaker 1: happened with the Titans last night. Jags have look out 156 00:07:57,188 --> 00:08:02,948 Speaker 1: third and six. Mayfield Goos gets home show in love 157 00:08:04,988 --> 00:08:07,988 Speaker 1: through Enjoy your love gets the sack for the Giant. 158 00:08:11,788 --> 00:08:14,908 Speaker 1: Our next guest. He's not big on the Disney princesses, 159 00:08:14,988 --> 00:08:17,748 Speaker 1: but he's a huge fan of Lee Low and Stitch. 160 00:08:17,788 --> 00:08:21,068 Speaker 1: We just found out coming off a huge Week two 161 00:08:21,108 --> 00:08:25,628 Speaker 1: performance against the Panthers.

I remember I got a chance 165 00:08:39,948 --> 00:08:42,348 Speaker 1: to talk to you this offseason and he talked about 166 00:08:42,388 --> 00:08:44,548 Speaker 1: Logan Ryan being one of the leaders that you got 167 00:08:44,548 --> 00:08:47,028 Speaker 1: a chance to learn from. And now it's your time. 168 00:08:47,188 --> 00:08:50,148 Speaker 1: Voted team captain. You guys are off to a tune 169 00:08:50,268 --> 00:08:54,188 Speaker 1: old start for the first time since twenty sixteen, getting 170 00:08:54,188 --> 00:08:55,988 Speaker 1: this went over to Panthers. You led the team in 171 00:08:56,068 --> 00:08:59,108 Speaker 1: tackles and have probably the biggest defensive play of the 172 00:08:59,148 --> 00:09:02,148 Speaker 1: game when you made that sack on Baker Mayfield late 173 00:09:02,188 --> 00:09:05,068 Speaker 1: in the game. Take us through that play just that 174 00:09:05,148 --> 00:09:06,748 Speaker 1: day of what it meant for you guys on the 175 00:09:06,748 --> 00:09:10,828 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. Yeah, I mean it was exciting. 176 00:09:10,908 --> 00:09:13,028 Speaker 1: We were getting after it. We knew we had some 177 00:09:13,068 --> 00:09:14,868 Speaker 1: opportunities in front of us. We knew it was a 178 00:09:14,908 --> 00:09:17,348 Speaker 1: good matchup. We had a good plan going in. We're 179 00:09:17,348 --> 00:09:20,228 Speaker 1: going to be aggressive, that's how Wink calls it, and 180 00:09:20,308 --> 00:09:22,588 Speaker 1: yeah we have the doub We made key plays in 181 00:09:22,668 --> 00:09:27,308 Speaker 1: key situations. You know, it's interesting this Giants defense was 182 00:09:27,708 --> 00:09:30,028 Speaker 1: much maligned the last few years. Wink gets there, you 183 00:09:30,068 --> 00:09:32,428 Speaker 1: guys kind of find this own identity. You've held your 184 00:09:32,428 --> 00:09:35,188 Speaker 1: first two opponents under twenty points and this is the 185 00:09:35,228 --> 00:09:38,468 Speaker 1: team that's had its struggles. Now New York City is buzzing, 186 00:09:39,068 --> 00:09:40,748 Speaker 1: Like we're in New York City. I know you're in 187 00:09:40,828 --> 00:09:44,388 Speaker 1: Jersey right now. It is buzzing.

And you guys feel those positive vibes 189 00:09:47,508 --> 00:09:50,268 Speaker 1: obviously since Brian Dable and Wink are now coaching the 190 00:09:50,308 --> 00:09:54,628 Speaker 1: offense and the defense. Yeah, it's exciting. Yeah, I can't lie. 191 00:09:54,668 --> 00:09:56,828 Speaker 1: It's been been, for sure, tough at times the past 192 00:09:56,868 --> 00:09:59,348 Speaker 1: few years, but it's always exciting when you go on 193 00:09:59,348 --> 00:10:02,188 Speaker 1: the Monday, you know, day after a game and you 194 00:10:02,308 --> 00:10:05,068 Speaker 1: just see people wearing you know, the giant skier to work. 195 00:10:05,148 --> 00:10:08,508 Speaker 1: That stuff excites you. You're getting the community involved and 196 00:10:08,508 --> 00:10:11,148 Speaker 1: it's uh been a fun ride and having Wink and 197 00:10:11,268 --> 00:10:14,468 Speaker 1: day Ball.

Tell us more about the head man. 199 00:10:17,988 --> 00:10:20,748 Speaker 1: We followed this Brian Dable thing comes from Buffalo. It 200 00:10:20,788 --> 00:10:24,108 Speaker 1: seems like he's instantly injected this this new energy and 201 00:10:24,148 --> 00:10:26,628 Speaker 1: it's it's not just in the in the facility, it's 202 00:10:26,668 --> 00:10:29,668 Speaker 1: on the field. This decision to go for two at 203 00:10:29,668 --> 00:10:32,108 Speaker 1: the end of week one and believing you guys. Tell 204 00:10:32,148 --> 00:10:33,788 Speaker 1: us about the energy that he's got going on, and 205 00:10:33,828 --> 00:10:37,388 Speaker 1: how's it feel to play for him? Yeah, it feels 206 00:10:37,388 --> 00:10:40,148 Speaker 1: great to play for him. He the first conversation we 207 00:10:40,188 --> 00:10:42,548 Speaker 1: had together, he finished it by asking me, am, I 208 00:10:42,548 --> 00:10:44,948 Speaker 1: ready to bring some juice this year. That's kind of 209 00:10:44,948 --> 00:10:47,428 Speaker 1: the the energy he's bringing to the table. He wants 210 00:10:47,508 --> 00:10:48,948 Speaker 1: us to be fired up. He wants us to be 211 00:10:49,188 --> 00:10:52,508 Speaker 1: getting after it. Uh. And yeah, he's aggressive. Obviously we 212 00:10:52,548 --> 00:10:56,708 Speaker 1: went for two um in the first game. Yeah, and 213 00:10:56,748 --> 00:10:59,428 Speaker 1: the credit to that. He's asking the players what they 214 00:10:59,428 --> 00:11:01,148 Speaker 1: want to do as well. You know, he has some 215 00:11:01,188 --> 00:11:03,988 Speaker 1: of the some of the leaders, you know, if if 216 00:11:03,988 --> 00:11:05,388 Speaker 1: we want to for two, if you want to do it, 217 00:11:06,628 --> 00:11:09,068 Speaker 1: and obviously guys pulled the figure on it, and the 218 00:11:09,108 --> 00:11:11,588 Speaker 1: offense was hot. Made a play week one, and I 219 00:11:11,628 --> 00:11:15,028 Speaker 1: carried over into some great energy and great momentum week 220 00:11:15,028 --> 00:11:18,348 Speaker 1: two against Panthers. Would you say to him when he said, 221 00:11:18,348 --> 00:11:19,828 Speaker 1: are you ready to bring some juice this season? What 222 00:11:19,868 --> 00:11:21,348 Speaker 1: do you say when you just meet the guy and 223 00:11:21,348 --> 00:11:22,748 Speaker 1: he says, are you ready to bring some juice? How 224 00:11:22,748 --> 00:11:26,468 Speaker 1: do you respond it? It was at breakfast. I just 225 00:11:26,508 --> 00:11:28,588 Speaker 1: got a cup of coffee, and I'm like, yeah, I 226 00:11:28,668 --> 00:11:32,828 Speaker 1: guess of course I'll bring juice. I'm excited to get 227 00:11:32,908 --> 00:11:37,028 Speaker 1: going because yeah, I mean, you know, people, there's just 228 00:11:37,028 --> 00:11:42,668 Speaker 1: an urgency I'll hear right now, and so we definitely 229 00:11:42,708 --> 00:11:45,108 Speaker 1: have the energy going. It's been a lot of fun 230 00:11:45,188 --> 00:11:48,668 Speaker 1: these these past few weeks. You bring the juice, you 231 00:11:48,668 --> 00:11:50,708 Speaker 1: bring the caffeine with that coffee cup. You also bring 232 00:11:50,788 --> 00:11:53,668 Speaker 1: some leadership because before the regular season you were named 233 00:11:53,668 --> 00:11:56,628 Speaker 1: an official team captain, and honor that you said you 234 00:11:56,788 --> 00:11:59,068 Speaker 1: never have received before. How much does it mean to 235 00:11:59,068 --> 00:12:02,828 Speaker 1: you to be the captain of this team? Yeah, it 236 00:12:02,828 --> 00:12:07,308 Speaker 1: means a lot. I have received the captain's status. I 237 00:12:07,348 --> 00:12:09,388 Speaker 1: was always so close, and you know in high school, 238 00:12:09,588 --> 00:12:11,908 Speaker 1: I left there early in college, so the situation never 239 00:12:11,948 --> 00:12:14,188 Speaker 1: really came up. And it means a lot. I think 240 00:12:14,268 --> 00:12:16,988 Speaker 1: this team really appreciates who I am as a person, 241 00:12:17,028 --> 00:12:19,828 Speaker 1: as a player, and I know it's my responsibilities who 242 00:12:20,388 --> 00:12:22,788 Speaker 1: uphold to that what that see means. Obviously, it's a 243 00:12:23,108 --> 00:12:25,828 Speaker 1: it's a giant, it's a historic program, and so it's 244 00:12:25,868 --> 00:12:27,868 Speaker 1: a lot of history involved in it. And so I'm 245 00:12:27,908 --> 00:12:29,548 Speaker 1: just trying to do the best I can do to 246 00:12:29,668 --> 00:12:33,588 Speaker 1: represent this team in this community. Now let's go back 247 00:12:33,628 --> 00:12:38,668 Speaker 1: to a young Julian. You attended Nazareth, Nazareth Academy and Illinois. 248 00:12:39,428 --> 00:12:41,268 Speaker 1: Was there ever a doubt that you be going to 249 00:12:41,468 --> 00:12:44,148 Speaker 1: Notre Dame or where some others that I know you're 250 00:12:44,148 --> 00:12:49,788 Speaker 1: a big fan. I mean to me, I never thought 251 00:12:49,788 --> 00:12:52,628 Speaker 1: i'd have a chance to go another name I was. 252 00:12:53,068 --> 00:12:55,068 Speaker 1: I never saw myself as being, you know, a highly 253 00:12:55,108 --> 00:12:59,108 Speaker 1: recruited kid. I just enjoyed playing football. I had some 254 00:12:59,228 --> 00:13:02,068 Speaker 1: success in high school, did my thing, and then yeah, 255 00:13:02,068 --> 00:13:04,028 Speaker 1: I got the chance, I got the offer, and it's 256 00:13:04,068 --> 00:13:06,628 Speaker 1: soon is I got the offer ten seconds later committed 257 00:13:07,228 --> 00:13:09,028 Speaker 1: as I knew where I wanted to go. My dad 258 00:13:09,068 --> 00:13:10,908 Speaker 1: took me to games growing up a Notre Dame and 259 00:13:10,988 --> 00:13:13,468 Speaker 1: so that was, you know, the easiest decision I could 260 00:13:13,508 --> 00:13:18,548 Speaker 1: have made. How you guys took a deep dive lost 261 00:13:18,588 --> 00:13:23,668 Speaker 1: to Marshalls. You bounced back, you broke out the iconic 262 00:13:23,948 --> 00:13:27,868 Speaker 1: green jerseys. How are you? How are the fans doing? 263 00:13:27,908 --> 00:13:30,628 Speaker 1: I say, Almama, how are you feeling this week now 264 00:13:30,908 --> 00:13:35,668 Speaker 1: with Notre Dame, especially those iconic greens? Yeah that was 265 00:13:35,828 --> 00:13:38,108 Speaker 1: I was exciting. Yeah, I love the green jerseys. I 266 00:13:38,188 --> 00:13:41,148 Speaker 1: had the chance to wear green, and you know that's special. 267 00:13:41,228 --> 00:13:44,428 Speaker 1: And they got to win. You know, I really appreciate 268 00:13:44,508 --> 00:13:46,828 Speaker 1: what Marcus Freeman brings to the table. Bull over there. 269 00:13:46,988 --> 00:13:49,068 Speaker 1: I think he's the guy. And obviously they got to 270 00:13:49,068 --> 00:13:51,268 Speaker 1: win because players got to execute, coaches got to coach, 271 00:13:51,668 --> 00:13:53,788 Speaker 1: and that's what it comes down too. And they'll get 272 00:13:53,828 --> 00:13:56,588 Speaker 1: it going. They'll get things right. I went through a 273 00:13:56,668 --> 00:13:59,188 Speaker 1: slide my freshman year we were Ford Nate and then 274 00:13:59,348 --> 00:14:01,548 Speaker 1: by my junior year we were undefeated in the playoffs. 275 00:14:01,668 --> 00:14:05,108 Speaker 1: So you know, things happen, dips, it it's ebs and 276 00:14:05,148 --> 00:14:07,588 Speaker 1: flows of a of a season of you know, of 277 00:14:07,828 --> 00:14:09,948 Speaker 1: guys you have in and so they'll get it right 278 00:14:10,068 --> 00:14:13,868 Speaker 1: and the true Irish fans we'll stay. We'll stay strong 279 00:14:13,988 --> 00:14:18,308 Speaker 1: to these uh these tough times, no doubt, Julian, you 280 00:14:18,348 --> 00:14:20,828 Speaker 1: know you've been here with this team, and I'm sure 281 00:14:20,908 --> 00:14:24,028 Speaker 1: you hear the words on Daniel Jones, you're your teammate. 282 00:14:24,188 --> 00:14:26,708 Speaker 1: Third and six, a play has to be made. Daniel 283 00:14:26,788 --> 00:14:29,588 Speaker 1: Jones converts that first down? How good did that feel 284 00:14:29,628 --> 00:14:32,468 Speaker 1: for Daniel as opposed to adjust any quarterback for like 285 00:14:32,708 --> 00:14:35,148 Speaker 1: to see him got his moment and him to put 286 00:14:35,188 --> 00:14:37,388 Speaker 1: it on you know, on film. What was it like 287 00:14:37,508 --> 00:14:39,148 Speaker 1: there for you guys? I know how supportive you all 288 00:14:39,188 --> 00:14:43,148 Speaker 1: seemed to be of Daniel Jones, always exciting. I mean 289 00:14:43,268 --> 00:14:45,788 Speaker 1: in that situation, he just put the ball in his 290 00:14:45,868 --> 00:14:48,028 Speaker 1: hands and he made it happen himself. And that's what 291 00:14:48,108 --> 00:14:50,708 Speaker 1: it's gonna take, honestly, you know, for not just him, 292 00:14:50,748 --> 00:14:53,708 Speaker 1: but for other guys, h to whatever we have to do. 293 00:14:53,948 --> 00:14:56,188 Speaker 1: We is not gonna be pretty, it's not gonna be 294 00:14:56,228 --> 00:14:58,428 Speaker 1: scripted sometimes, but we got to get it done. That's 295 00:14:58,468 --> 00:15:01,028 Speaker 1: kind of the mindset Dave All has kind of been 296 00:15:01,068 --> 00:15:04,068 Speaker 1: putting on to this team. And so yeah, Dj, that 297 00:15:04,188 --> 00:15:05,388 Speaker 1: was that was a great play and that was a 298 00:15:06,028 --> 00:15:11,548 Speaker 1: key one for the victory. Julian. For you, I mean, 299 00:15:11,628 --> 00:15:13,028 Speaker 1: we don't want to keep you too long, but you 300 00:15:13,068 --> 00:15:15,828 Speaker 1: guys have the Cowboys coming up out day night.

Because watching you play these past two weeks, 367 00:18:45,348 --> 00:18:48,588 Speaker 1: you've been amazing, giving up only one catching week one 368 00:18:48,868 --> 00:18:51,588 Speaker 1: and then a strong performance against Terry mcclaurin this week. 369 00:18:51,868 --> 00:18:54,308 Speaker 1: How much of an influence has he been on your play? 370 00:18:54,388 --> 00:18:58,828 Speaker 1: Just continuing the skyrocket, Um, he's he's been a big, 371 00:19:00,788 --> 00:19:03,028 Speaker 1: big helping my performance just because he's been able to, 372 00:19:03,548 --> 00:19:05,868 Speaker 1: you know, believe in me over these last two years 373 00:19:05,948 --> 00:19:08,748 Speaker 1: and you know, provide me with his experience that you know, 374 00:19:08,828 --> 00:19:11,788 Speaker 1: he's playing in the game a long time, all ProTeams whatnot. 375 00:19:11,908 --> 00:19:15,428 Speaker 1: So his experience has been invaluable for me and UH 376 00:19:15,668 --> 00:19:17,668 Speaker 1: as well as his belief in me. So it's someone 377 00:19:17,708 --> 00:19:21,068 Speaker 1: that I lean on ask questions because you know, he's 378 00:19:21,108 --> 00:19:25,268 Speaker 1: walked in my shoes before. All Right, we were all 379 00:19:25,748 --> 00:19:28,948 Speaker 1: fired up for the Lions on Sunday and you get 380 00:19:28,948 --> 00:19:31,428 Speaker 1: to the locker room and you've got all these superstars. 381 00:19:31,508 --> 00:19:33,988 Speaker 1: You've got Swift, You've got golf, You've got mom On Ross, 382 00:19:34,028 --> 00:19:37,588 Speaker 1: Saint Brown, You've got Jeff Akuta, and Dan Campbell calls 383 00:19:37,628 --> 00:19:42,068 Speaker 1: out Dan Skipper outside of your locker room. Not many 384 00:19:42,148 --> 00:19:45,428 Speaker 1: people will know who Dan Skipper is, but on everyone 385 00:19:45,508 --> 00:19:47,788 Speaker 1: at home to see how he was welcomed in the 386 00:19:47,868 --> 00:19:52,868 Speaker 1: locker room by coach Campbell after the game. Take a watch, Jo. 387 00:20:05,668 --> 00:20:08,148 Speaker 1: This is a practice squad player making his first career 388 00:20:08,268 --> 00:20:10,468 Speaker 1: start after six years in the league. But I think 389 00:20:10,548 --> 00:20:13,468 Speaker 1: he is symbolic Dan Skipper of a lot of you 390 00:20:13,588 --> 00:20:15,868 Speaker 1: guys in that Lion's locker room and what you're all about. 391 00:20:16,228 --> 00:20:18,948 Speaker 1: Tell us about Dan Skipper, your head coach, and what 392 00:20:19,108 --> 00:20:23,708 Speaker 1: that moment represented. Yeah, like the rest of us or 393 00:20:24,068 --> 00:20:25,948 Speaker 1: someone that plays with that chip on their shoulder, you know, 394 00:20:26,068 --> 00:20:29,988 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, he carries that chip on his shoulder, 395 00:20:29,988 --> 00:20:32,588 Speaker 1: and he carries it well. So when he has gone 396 00:20:32,628 --> 00:20:34,588 Speaker 1: to step in, you'd be ready to past Sunday. He 397 00:20:34,748 --> 00:20:37,108 Speaker 1: was prepared for it. But that's not surprised. I think 398 00:20:37,148 --> 00:20:39,308 Speaker 1: I said a lot of guys just embody what our 399 00:20:39,348 --> 00:20:43,468 Speaker 1: head coach talks about. It does feel like something special 400 00:20:43,548 --> 00:20:45,508 Speaker 1: and something different, and it was a really cool moment 401 00:20:45,548 --> 00:20:47,148 Speaker 1: after the first one of the year to spend time 402 00:20:47,268 --> 00:20:50,028 Speaker 1: doing that.

What 469 00:24:12,508 --> 00:24:14,868 Speaker 1: you give is anything other than one of the greatest 470 00:24:14,908 --> 00:24:18,548 Speaker 1: pop rock songs the last thirty years. It's brilliant. And 471 00:24:18,708 --> 00:24:21,188 Speaker 1: also then you guys getting on me about about where 472 00:24:21,228 --> 00:24:23,948 Speaker 1: the faults are, and you guys don't you're not You're 473 00:24:23,948 --> 00:24:25,828 Speaker 1: forgetting how hard this is.

We don't need to spend waste any 475 00:24:32,268 --> 00:24:34,668 Speaker 1: more time on that nod Nick in a buckett walking 476 00:24:34,668 --> 00:24:37,148 Speaker 1: around a mall talking about island fighting.

We thought for sure it 479 00:24:43,588 --> 00:24:46,348 Speaker 1: would be the Cults after getting shut out by Jacksonville, 480 00:24:46,548 --> 00:24:50,108 Speaker 1: but you had Houston tell us why, I guess I'm 481 00:24:50,148 --> 00:24:52,508 Speaker 1: not all the way there yet to say that this 482 00:24:52,868 --> 00:24:56,028 Speaker 1: is the worst team in football, even though I understand 483 00:24:56,068 --> 00:24:58,108 Speaker 1: you could certainly make the case. They did get the 484 00:24:58,228 --> 00:25:01,428 Speaker 1: tie in week one, and here's where we are with 485 00:25:01,508 --> 00:25:04,268 Speaker 1: the Cults. Entering week one. I had them at number twelve, 486 00:25:04,468 --> 00:25:07,028 Speaker 1: so I was in on the Colts and I'm not 487 00:25:07,388 --> 00:25:09,108 Speaker 1: in on the Colts anymore. But at the same time, 488 00:25:09,108 --> 00:25:12,188 Speaker 1: I understand that Matt Ryan's still the quarterback. They're gonna 489 00:25:12,228 --> 00:25:14,988 Speaker 1: get Shaquil letton back, They're gonna get Michael Pittman back 490 00:25:15,028 --> 00:25:18,668 Speaker 1: on the field. So a free fall eleven spots and 491 00:25:18,788 --> 00:25:20,908 Speaker 1: to go from twelve to twenty six in two weeks 492 00:25:20,908 --> 00:25:23,188 Speaker 1: says they are knocking on the door of thirty two. 493 00:25:23,508 --> 00:25:26,428 Speaker 1: I just wasn't quite there yet to put him at 494 00:25:26,428 --> 00:25:28,788 Speaker 1: the very bottom. But they're they're working hard, they're making 495 00:25:28,828 --> 00:25:32,428 Speaker 1: a great case. I'd say it's the hardest job on 496 00:25:32,628 --> 00:25:35,268 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football the Power rankings, because you have it's 497 00:25:35,268 --> 00:25:37,148 Speaker 1: almost like the ape pole, Like you have this team 498 00:25:37,188 --> 00:25:39,308 Speaker 1: at number one, do you now put them at thirty two? 499 00:25:39,508 --> 00:25:41,108 Speaker 1: Or do you say just a little bit each time 500 00:25:41,188 --> 00:25:43,108 Speaker 1: they lose. You gotta give it to give, all right, 501 00:25:43,508 --> 00:25:47,268 Speaker 1: you gotta give come on Beck and Hansen. Um, hey 502 00:25:47,428 --> 00:25:52,068 Speaker 1: the Eagle after last night? Oh around, Well, the guy's 503 00:25:52,108 --> 00:25:56,788 Speaker 1: gonna fight somebody. As twenty pounds was speaking about pop 504 00:25:56,908 --> 00:26:01,268 Speaker 1: culture and the saturation, Yeah, do you just don't understand 505 00:26:02,548 --> 00:26:04,348 Speaker 1: bob Byllan walking around with the guitar and his back 506 00:26:04,468 --> 00:26:06,948 Speaker 1: in the sixties. I'm sure he's in a mall. It's 507 00:26:07,308 --> 00:26:09,988 Speaker 1: the centerpiece of capitalism. He's selling pop schlock. Can we 508 00:26:10,028 --> 00:26:13,268 Speaker 1: please talk about the Eagles. It's I who's so radical 509 00:26:13,268 --> 00:26:19,108 Speaker 1: about them Eagles. The Eagles are radical. Shut up to 510 00:26:19,308 --> 00:26:21,868 Speaker 1: number three after yesterday against the Vikings. I don't think 511 00:26:21,868 --> 00:26:24,028 Speaker 1: anyone had him in the top three. You certainly didn't 512 00:26:24,068 --> 00:26:26,868 Speaker 1: going into the season, but these birds look for real. Um, 513 00:26:27,268 --> 00:26:28,948 Speaker 1: are you feeling it right now? Is this legit or 514 00:26:29,028 --> 00:26:32,548 Speaker 1: is this just like early season, good fresh start? No, 515 00:26:32,868 --> 00:26:36,548 Speaker 1: I'm feeling this. This is that team that you wonder 516 00:26:36,628 --> 00:26:39,628 Speaker 1: who is the team that takes the NFL by storm? 517 00:26:39,668 --> 00:26:41,948 Speaker 1: And the Eagles feel like that. And you don't want 518 00:26:41,948 --> 00:26:44,308 Speaker 1: to just reduce it down to the quarterback because they've 519 00:26:44,348 --> 00:26:46,188 Speaker 1: been good in a lot of places. But Jalen Hurts 520 00:26:46,268 --> 00:26:48,348 Speaker 1: his play has been incredible, and I know there are 521 00:26:48,388 --> 00:26:51,468 Speaker 1: people watching right now that had their fantasy drafts, and 522 00:26:51,548 --> 00:26:54,508 Speaker 1: when their second pick came up, they stared at that 523 00:26:54,668 --> 00:26:57,388 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts button and they said, should I do it? 524 00:26:57,508 --> 00:26:58,948 Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of hype around this guy, 525 00:26:58,988 --> 00:27:00,348 Speaker 1: but I'm not buying and he's not going to be 526 00:27:00,428 --> 00:27:02,868 Speaker 1: that good. Guess what he is that good? And it's 527 00:27:02,948 --> 00:27:05,468 Speaker 1: been his passing. I think that out to everyone. How 528 00:27:05,548 --> 00:27:07,988 Speaker 1: on targeted is how comfortable he is, and then his 529 00:27:08,108 --> 00:27:10,308 Speaker 1: ability to be tough. I get a little nervous about 530 00:27:10,508 --> 00:27:12,748 Speaker 1: how much of a tough heart nosed runneries and these 531 00:27:12,788 --> 00:27:15,348 Speaker 1: type of situations like we're seeing, but how could you 532 00:27:15,508 --> 00:27:17,748 Speaker 1: not love the guy? And you can see Philadelphia and 533 00:27:17,788 --> 00:27:21,228 Speaker 1: those insane fans they are way in on the Hurts experience. 534 00:27:21,348 --> 00:27:24,708 Speaker 1: Name yeah, let's make a list of teams Dan that 535 00:27:25,468 --> 00:27:27,708 Speaker 1: could take the NFL by storm, Like the Bills don't 536 00:27:27,708 --> 00:27:29,988 Speaker 1: really qualify because they just were up and established before 537 00:27:29,988 --> 00:27:32,268 Speaker 1: the season started. The Eagles are there, the Dolphins. I 538 00:27:32,308 --> 00:27:33,868 Speaker 1: feel like it could be there. With quarterback to a 539 00:27:33,948 --> 00:27:37,148 Speaker 1: tuck of Violoa, six touchdowns, twenty one point comeback over 540 00:27:37,228 --> 00:27:39,748 Speaker 1: the Ravens. On Sunday, What I ta's performance show you 541 00:27:39,788 --> 00:27:42,188 Speaker 1: about head coach Mike McDaniel and what he has been 542 00:27:42,228 --> 00:27:45,628 Speaker 1: able to implement in Miami. Yeah, Jamie two and on 543 00:27:45,828 --> 00:27:48,908 Speaker 1: Step Out of the Dark Shadows, this is your hero. 544 00:27:49,628 --> 00:27:53,788 Speaker 1: It is unbelievable to watch that and how it all unfolded. 545 00:27:53,828 --> 00:27:56,108 Speaker 1: On the Round the NFL podcast, we have our locks 546 00:27:56,148 --> 00:27:57,908 Speaker 1: of the Week. I locked up the Ravens. I was 547 00:27:57,988 --> 00:28:00,708 Speaker 1: feeling no pain when they were up thirty five fourteen. 548 00:28:01,068 --> 00:28:05,148 Speaker 1: So when twa it went nuts with Wattle in Tyreek, 549 00:28:05,228 --> 00:28:06,708 Speaker 1: I couldn't even be mad. I was just like, this 550 00:28:06,908 --> 00:28:09,788 Speaker 1: is interesting. And from Mike McDaniel, it's a proof of 551 00:28:09,868 --> 00:28:13,068 Speaker 1: concept game. It's like, I know all the doubters out 552 00:28:13,108 --> 00:28:16,108 Speaker 1: there who think that I'm maybe not the typical head 553 00:28:16,148 --> 00:28:18,468 Speaker 1: coach and he's not the quarterback with the big arm 554 00:28:18,548 --> 00:28:21,028 Speaker 1: that can make this work. And then you see what 555 00:28:21,188 --> 00:28:23,428 Speaker 1: he did in Baltimore and what they did in Baltimore, 556 00:28:23,788 --> 00:28:26,268 Speaker 1: and there's the proof that this team has that ability 557 00:28:26,348 --> 00:28:29,988 Speaker 1: to win shootouts. They showed their defensive capabilities in Week one, 558 00:28:30,228 --> 00:28:33,308 Speaker 1: they showed they could go on offensive. Week two, very 559 00:28:33,348 --> 00:28:37,388 Speaker 1: exciting times for the Dolphins. Yeah, that offense was on 560 00:28:37,788 --> 00:28:40,828 Speaker 1: fire with two of leading the way. But the Tampa 561 00:28:40,868 --> 00:28:43,468 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers offense has not been on fire. They've been 562 00:28:43,548 --> 00:28:46,428 Speaker 1: led by the strength of the defense over these first 563 00:28:46,508 --> 00:28:48,868 Speaker 1: two weeks as they deal with a ton of injuries 564 00:28:49,108 --> 00:28:51,228 Speaker 1: on that offensive side of the ball. Are you at 565 00:28:51,308 --> 00:28:54,588 Speaker 1: all concern this week for them going up against Aaron 566 00:28:54,748 --> 00:29:00,588 Speaker 1: Rodgers and the Packers. My only concern is Bruce arians 567 00:29:00,628 --> 00:29:03,348 Speaker 1: on the sideline, like yelling at officials and stuff. If 568 00:29:03,348 --> 00:29:06,308 Speaker 1: I'm top balls and like uncle Bruce, go upstairs, man 569 00:29:06,428 --> 00:29:10,388 Speaker 1: hang out. No, I'm not worried about I'm not worried 570 00:29:10,388 --> 00:29:14,468 Speaker 1: about the Bucks offense yet they are injury depleted. Brady 571 00:29:14,548 --> 00:29:17,348 Speaker 1: how to make things work against the Bucks, especially against 572 00:29:17,388 --> 00:29:19,908 Speaker 1: the Saints, especially after Mike Evans got kicked out of 573 00:29:19,908 --> 00:29:23,148 Speaker 1: the games game and he did so. Unless I'm starting 574 00:29:23,188 --> 00:29:25,868 Speaker 1: to feel like Brady looks old or this risk or 575 00:29:25,948 --> 00:29:28,268 Speaker 1: hand injury is something that's really hindering him, I'm not 576 00:29:28,388 --> 00:29:31,508 Speaker 1: there yet. Instead, I'm more focused on This is one 577 00:29:31,548 --> 00:29:34,228 Speaker 1: of the reasons why Brady chose Tampa and why he 578 00:29:34,388 --> 00:29:36,228 Speaker 1: left the New England because he was going to a 579 00:29:36,268 --> 00:29:38,748 Speaker 1: team where it wasn't all on him. And this defense, 580 00:29:38,828 --> 00:29:41,908 Speaker 1: with Bulls still leading the way, is the real deal, 581 00:29:42,028 --> 00:29:44,628 Speaker 1: and they're going to continue to help carry this team 582 00:29:44,708 --> 00:29:47,588 Speaker 1: until the offense gets healthy. I think it's interesting that 583 00:29:47,708 --> 00:29:50,948 Speaker 1: you get Brady and Rogers to all time greats. They're 584 00:29:51,028 --> 00:29:52,868 Speaker 1: trying to figure things out on offense right now, so 585 00:29:52,948 --> 00:29:55,028 Speaker 1: it's a kind of fun, interesting time to see them 586 00:29:55,308 --> 00:29:58,748 Speaker 1: square off in a big game. Dan hands is always 587 00:29:58,788 --> 00:30:00,788 Speaker 1: a welcome oasis in the middle of the NFL week. 588 00:30:00,788 --> 00:30:02,908 Speaker 1: For sure to check out NFL Power Rankings presented by 589 00:30:03,028 --> 00:30:06,148 Speaker 1: Energizer every Tuesday NFL dot com.
