My name is Rachel Vanetta, joined by Peter Schrager, 5 00:00:35,548 --> 00:00:38,748 Speaker 1: Adam Rank, D'Angelo Hall. Guys, I'm so excited to be 6 00:00:38,828 --> 00:00:41,028 Speaker 1: back on the show. Adam, we are going to be 7 00:00:41,068 --> 00:00:42,868 Speaker 1: here in D'Angelo and Peter. We're gonna be here all 8 00:00:42,908 --> 00:00:45,428 Speaker 1: week long. And it's a big day for the league. 9 00:00:45,428 --> 00:00:49,988 Speaker 1: The inaugural NFL Coach in Front Office Accelerator Program begins today. Also, 10 00:00:50,028 --> 00:00:52,028 Speaker 1: I got in Visiline a couple of days ago, so Paul, 11 00:00:52,188 --> 00:00:55,028 Speaker 1: he's an advanced from my new lisp. It's very attractive. 12 00:00:55,108 --> 00:00:56,908 Speaker 1: We're gonna get the latest live from Atlanta later in 13 00:00:56,948 --> 00:00:58,268 Speaker 1: the show, but right now, it is time for the 14 00:00:58,348 --> 00:01:02,668 Speaker 1: lead block. Let's go baby, all right, Let's start with 15 00:01:02,668 --> 00:01:04,148 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, who have a bit of a 16 00:01:04,228 --> 00:01:07,628 Speaker 1: situation at quarterback. They've got the third overall pick from 17 00:01:07,668 --> 00:01:10,788 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one draft, Train Lance and Jimmy g 18 00:01:11,348 --> 00:01:14,668 Speaker 1: is still on the roster and rehabbing after shoulder surgery. 19 00:01:14,668 --> 00:01:17,628 Speaker 1: George Kettle was asked about the competition, and here's what 20 00:01:17,708 --> 00:01:22,428 Speaker 1: he told Pro Football Talk. I'll give you both ways. 21 00:01:22,468 --> 00:01:25,028 Speaker 1: Like you know, Jimmy g awesome in the huddle, great leader, 22 00:01:25,308 --> 00:01:27,948 Speaker 1: directs guys, people are you know go to attention when 23 00:01:27,948 --> 00:01:30,908 Speaker 1: he's talking. He's got a quick release. He knows the offense. 24 00:01:31,108 --> 00:01:32,908 Speaker 1: Like I said, been the two NFC Championship games. Who 25 00:01:32,908 --> 00:01:36,228 Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. Trey Lance can run, extend plays, 26 00:01:36,508 --> 00:01:38,908 Speaker 1: does all the play action stuff, incredible, could throw the 27 00:01:38,908 --> 00:01:41,908 Speaker 1: ball seventy yards. So it's just I don't know. It's 28 00:01:41,908 --> 00:01:43,388 Speaker 1: a toss up for me. Like I said, as long 29 00:01:43,428 --> 00:01:46,748 Speaker 1: as they're throwing me the football, it is what it is. Guys. 30 00:01:46,788 --> 00:01:49,508 Speaker 1: Can the forty nine ers carry both Trey Lance and 31 00:01:49,788 --> 00:01:52,468 Speaker 1: Jimmy g into the twenty twenty two season? Tregs? I'll 32 00:01:52,468 --> 00:01:53,828 Speaker 1: start with you, what do you think? Yeah, I was 33 00:01:53,908 --> 00:01:55,708 Speaker 1: big on this at the draft and I got a 34 00:01:55,748 --> 00:01:57,588 Speaker 1: lot of blowback for it when I was like, there's 35 00:01:57,588 --> 00:01:59,348 Speaker 1: a chance they're both on the roster at the start 36 00:01:59,348 --> 00:02:03,588 Speaker 1: a training camp because the combine window passed, the free 37 00:02:03,628 --> 00:02:06,668 Speaker 1: agency window pass, now the draft has passed. What are 38 00:02:06,668 --> 00:02:09,508 Speaker 1: the Niners getting for Jimmy Garoppolo at this point? And 39 00:02:09,588 --> 00:02:12,188 Speaker 1: knowing those guys. They're not going to trade Jimmy g 40 00:02:12,388 --> 00:02:15,268 Speaker 1: for thirty cents on the dollar. But any opportunity for 41 00:02:15,308 --> 00:02:18,148 Speaker 1: them to get a player in return of great worth 42 00:02:18,188 --> 00:02:20,028 Speaker 1: to them or a draft pick that was going to 43 00:02:20,068 --> 00:02:23,708 Speaker 1: help them in the immediate short term, they're gone. The 44 00:02:23,748 --> 00:02:27,268 Speaker 1: window's gone. You also added a shoulder surgery, where a 45 00:02:27,268 --> 00:02:29,908 Speaker 1: lot of teams on the market are like, maybe if 46 00:02:29,948 --> 00:02:32,548 Speaker 1: we didn't have a guy coming off shoulder surgery, we 47 00:02:32,628 --> 00:02:33,868 Speaker 1: had a chance to look at him and see how 48 00:02:34,228 --> 00:02:36,948 Speaker 1: the rebuilt shoulder looks, we would trade for him. But 49 00:02:36,948 --> 00:02:38,388 Speaker 1: we're going to hold off. It's not going to be us. 50 00:02:38,428 --> 00:02:42,668 Speaker 1: Someone else goes. So it's this interesting simultaneous thing of 51 00:02:43,108 --> 00:02:46,348 Speaker 1: the market disappearing and then the market maybe not being 52 00:02:47,068 --> 00:02:50,308 Speaker 1: as rich as they would have hoped when the season ended. 53 00:02:50,708 --> 00:02:54,228 Speaker 1: Bottom line is this. Jed Yorke at the owners meetings 54 00:02:54,228 --> 00:02:56,188 Speaker 1: back in March came out and said, hey, we once 55 00:02:56,268 --> 00:02:58,628 Speaker 1: upon a time had Joe Montana and Steve Young in 56 00:02:58,668 --> 00:03:01,188 Speaker 1: the same quarterbacks room. We can do anything we want 57 00:03:01,188 --> 00:03:04,028 Speaker 1: at this point. And Jimmy Garoppolo is that type of player. 58 00:03:04,388 --> 00:03:09,628 Speaker 1: He isn't this toxic firebrand. He isn't this egomaniac Jimmy 59 00:03:09,628 --> 00:03:11,548 Speaker 1: Garoppolo has always been the guy that you roll the 60 00:03:11,548 --> 00:03:14,068 Speaker 1: ball out. He's gonna compete, he's gonna keep his mouth shut, 61 00:03:14,108 --> 00:03:15,988 Speaker 1: and the guys around him are gonna either follow him 62 00:03:16,068 --> 00:03:18,108 Speaker 1: or they're gonna behind his back say we actually love 63 00:03:18,188 --> 00:03:20,508 Speaker 1: that dude, all right, So you don't hear any negative 64 00:03:20,708 --> 00:03:22,788 Speaker 1: words on Garoppolo. And I think this might be one 65 00:03:22,828 --> 00:03:25,788 Speaker 1: of the deals where he understands a contract situation one year, 66 00:03:25,828 --> 00:03:29,068 Speaker 1: it's about twenty five million dollars this year, go out there, 67 00:03:29,108 --> 00:03:31,508 Speaker 1: whether he's the starter or he's the backup. He knows 68 00:03:31,548 --> 00:03:33,308 Speaker 1: that if he hits free agency, he can hit this 69 00:03:33,388 --> 00:03:37,468 Speaker 1: bank again. Is it ideal for anyone? Not necessarily, but 70 00:03:37,708 --> 00:03:39,868 Speaker 1: this is one of the rare thirty of the thirty 71 00:03:39,908 --> 00:03:42,068 Speaker 1: two teams, is one of the rare organizations and the 72 00:03:42,188 --> 00:03:45,828 Speaker 1: rare personalities of young gun who appreciates the mentor and 73 00:03:45,828 --> 00:03:48,068 Speaker 1: then mentor who's like, bring it on, let's go. I'm 74 00:03:48,068 --> 00:03:49,828 Speaker 1: not going to be offended that you drafted this guy 75 00:03:49,908 --> 00:03:52,988 Speaker 1: two years ago. That it could actually work. It could 76 00:03:53,028 --> 00:03:55,388 Speaker 1: be the two of those quarterbacks are both on the roster. 77 00:03:55,468 --> 00:03:57,388 Speaker 1: But we open up training camp in July, and I 78 00:03:57,388 --> 00:04:00,948 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised when you talk about Jimmy G the 79 00:04:01,068 --> 00:04:05,348 Speaker 1: selfless football player, man Like, it's such a refreshing story 80 00:04:05,388 --> 00:04:08,068 Speaker 1: to talk about because in the league that everybody is 81 00:04:08,108 --> 00:04:11,108 Speaker 1: always about me, me me. Jimmy G from day one 82 00:04:11,228 --> 00:04:14,148 Speaker 1: has been nothing but selfless and that's what it takes 83 00:04:14,148 --> 00:04:16,748 Speaker 1: to win in the National Football League. Just speak like 84 00:04:16,828 --> 00:04:20,228 Speaker 1: you listed all the things while this front office wouldn't 85 00:04:20,268 --> 00:04:23,428 Speaker 1: trade Jimmy G. But just knowing this locker room and 86 00:04:23,468 --> 00:04:25,188 Speaker 1: what he means to it, and you know you hear 87 00:04:25,268 --> 00:04:27,188 Speaker 1: George Kill Do I think Jimmy G can go win 88 00:04:27,228 --> 00:04:31,188 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl? Maybe not. I personally don't feel that way. 89 00:04:31,308 --> 00:04:33,588 Speaker 1: You know, I think the reason you drafted got like 90 00:04:33,668 --> 00:04:36,668 Speaker 1: Trey Lance is because of the upside. It's because of 91 00:04:36,788 --> 00:04:39,828 Speaker 1: knowing where football is going, right and to have a 92 00:04:39,948 --> 00:04:42,828 Speaker 1: quarterback who can make plays with his legs. Who asked 93 00:04:42,868 --> 00:04:46,628 Speaker 1: that that dynamic, right, I'm sure Kyle Shanahan's in the 94 00:04:46,668 --> 00:04:48,948 Speaker 1: Mad Lab and Mike McDaniel back when he was on 95 00:04:48,988 --> 00:04:52,188 Speaker 1: his staff thinking of, man, could you imagine if we 96 00:04:52,348 --> 00:04:56,668 Speaker 1: coupled Lamar Jackson type right, that running ability with the 97 00:04:56,748 --> 00:04:59,108 Speaker 1: throwing arm of a guy like let's throw out of 98 00:04:59,148 --> 00:05:02,228 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes not saying Trey Lance has that type of 99 00:05:02,428 --> 00:05:05,108 Speaker 1: armed talent, but he has that potential and so you 100 00:05:05,188 --> 00:05:07,628 Speaker 1: merge those two and I mean it can make some 101 00:05:07,708 --> 00:05:09,508 Speaker 1: of the biggest football in mind. I say, man, this 102 00:05:09,588 --> 00:05:11,228 Speaker 1: is how I want to play football. And so I 103 00:05:11,268 --> 00:05:13,228 Speaker 1: think with both of these guys, you know you have 104 00:05:13,348 --> 00:05:15,748 Speaker 1: the best of both worlds. If Trade Lance isn't able 105 00:05:15,828 --> 00:05:18,068 Speaker 1: to pick this thing up as fast as you would 106 00:05:18,068 --> 00:05:20,188 Speaker 1: have liked them too, then you still have a veteran, 107 00:05:20,268 --> 00:05:22,468 Speaker 1: a guy like Jimmy g and so yeah, I mean 108 00:05:22,508 --> 00:05:24,468 Speaker 1: I absolutely love both of these guys on the roster 109 00:05:24,548 --> 00:05:27,028 Speaker 1: for the simple fact that their personalities just go so 110 00:05:27,068 --> 00:05:29,628 Speaker 1: well together. Well, you said best of both worlds. I 111 00:05:29,748 --> 00:05:32,628 Speaker 1: was gonna make a Dandy Warhol's reference, but you got 112 00:05:32,708 --> 00:05:35,228 Speaker 1: me thinking about van Halen the best of both worlds. 113 00:05:35,348 --> 00:05:39,028 Speaker 1: There's a reason why van Halen never toured with Sammy 114 00:05:39,068 --> 00:05:41,828 Speaker 1: Hagar and David Lee Roth at the same time, because 115 00:05:41,868 --> 00:05:44,188 Speaker 1: you can only have one front man. And I think 116 00:05:44,188 --> 00:05:46,108 Speaker 1: that's kind of the situation that the forty nine ers 117 00:05:46,148 --> 00:05:49,348 Speaker 1: are gonna go into this season, and it's tough on 118 00:05:49,428 --> 00:05:51,748 Speaker 1: these players. I mean, you saw a port George there 119 00:05:52,148 --> 00:05:54,748 Speaker 1: having to defend both those guys. And it's easy to 120 00:05:54,748 --> 00:05:56,588 Speaker 1: sit here in May and do that kind of stuff 121 00:05:56,628 --> 00:05:58,588 Speaker 1: and may. Oh, you know, both these guys are great. 122 00:05:58,588 --> 00:06:00,588 Speaker 1: I like them both, But at some point you have 123 00:06:00,668 --> 00:06:03,068 Speaker 1: to make a decision like I could love, why can't 124 00:06:03,068 --> 00:06:05,788 Speaker 1: this be loved? But might be talking about ain't talking 125 00:06:05,828 --> 00:06:08,428 Speaker 1: about love? And I think at some point the forty 126 00:06:08,508 --> 00:06:10,188 Speaker 1: nine ers need to make this decision. And I know 127 00:06:10,268 --> 00:06:12,708 Speaker 1: that's cool to go back in time and be like, hey, 128 00:06:12,748 --> 00:06:15,308 Speaker 1: in the nineteen nineties we had Montana and Steve Young. 129 00:06:15,548 --> 00:06:18,388 Speaker 1: That was a terrible thing that actually didn't work out 130 00:06:18,388 --> 00:06:20,588 Speaker 1: as smoothly as they want. I was alive of the nineties. 131 00:06:20,628 --> 00:06:22,988 Speaker 1: You can't fool me. These gen Z kids, you can 132 00:06:23,068 --> 00:06:25,468 Speaker 1: snow them, but not me. I know it was an 133 00:06:25,508 --> 00:06:28,188 Speaker 1: awful situation. And you didn't even have social media back then. 134 00:06:28,228 --> 00:06:30,148 Speaker 1: So I think the forty nine ers, I know, you 135 00:06:30,188 --> 00:06:32,708 Speaker 1: want to get the highest value for Jimmy Garoppolo, but 136 00:06:32,868 --> 00:06:35,508 Speaker 1: you got to make that call. Kyle Brandt maybe out, 137 00:06:35,548 --> 00:06:37,948 Speaker 1: but the pop culture references that I don't get are 138 00:06:37,988 --> 00:06:42,948 Speaker 1: still alive and well on this show. Sorry. I I 139 00:06:43,068 --> 00:06:44,988 Speaker 1: feel like if Trey Lance was ready to be the 140 00:06:45,028 --> 00:06:47,828 Speaker 1: starting quarterback on this football team, we would have seen 141 00:06:47,908 --> 00:06:50,668 Speaker 1: way more of him this past season. I doubt that 142 00:06:50,668 --> 00:06:53,428 Speaker 1: that much has changed over these past few months. And 143 00:06:53,508 --> 00:06:55,948 Speaker 1: also another thing that Kittle said this past week about 144 00:06:56,028 --> 00:06:58,628 Speaker 1: Jimmy G. He is a professional through and through. Jimmy 145 00:06:58,628 --> 00:07:02,148 Speaker 1: G takes notes every single meeting. He asked questions every meeting. 146 00:07:02,188 --> 00:07:05,108 Speaker 1: He's in his books, and I think once Tray saw that, 147 00:07:05,228 --> 00:07:07,628 Speaker 1: he's like, oh, I need to do all of that 148 00:07:07,788 --> 00:07:10,948 Speaker 1: and more. Just like how you guys were talking about Deangel, 149 00:07:10,988 --> 00:07:12,468 Speaker 1: you said the same thing. I think that this guy 150 00:07:12,588 --> 00:07:15,308 Speaker 1: is a really good leader for trade and learn from. Also, 151 00:07:16,028 --> 00:07:20,268 Speaker 1: if he stays healthy, he took them to an NFC championship. 152 00:07:20,308 --> 00:07:22,268 Speaker 1: He took them to a super Bowl. When he's healthy, 153 00:07:22,788 --> 00:07:25,388 Speaker 1: it could happen. I think that they should keep both 154 00:07:25,428 --> 00:07:27,868 Speaker 1: of them. I speak to those Niners guys, and I 155 00:07:28,308 --> 00:07:30,548 Speaker 1: in the Niners blogs aggregate a lot of what I 156 00:07:30,628 --> 00:07:33,268 Speaker 1: say when because they know that I'm in the ears 157 00:07:33,388 --> 00:07:35,988 Speaker 1: or getting feedback from them. In earlier this offseason, I 158 00:07:36,108 --> 00:07:37,828 Speaker 1: was like, we haven't heard that Trey Lance has been 159 00:07:37,868 --> 00:07:40,028 Speaker 1: all that good. I've got a lot of blowback from 160 00:07:40,028 --> 00:07:42,908 Speaker 1: that person for people in the organization saying you're not here. 161 00:07:43,428 --> 00:07:46,148 Speaker 1: Trey Lance has shown some real flashes, he's shown some 162 00:07:46,228 --> 00:07:50,508 Speaker 1: real major stride. So if that's the case, rip the 163 00:07:50,508 --> 00:07:52,188 Speaker 1: band aid off and hand the ball to Trey Lance. 164 00:07:52,228 --> 00:07:54,468 Speaker 1: They haven't done that yet. That tells me that it's 165 00:07:54,508 --> 00:07:57,828 Speaker 1: a thing with both the trade market but also their 166 00:07:57,908 --> 00:08:00,828 Speaker 1: confidence and necessarily saying, let's rip the parachute from this 167 00:08:00,868 --> 00:08:02,188 Speaker 1: guy and just send them out there, because they did 168 00:08:02,228 --> 00:08:04,908 Speaker 1: go to the NFC Championship Game last year. And last point, 169 00:08:04,948 --> 00:08:08,548 Speaker 1: Adam Rank, I appreciate the pop culture references. I would 170 00:08:08,588 --> 00:08:11,948 Speaker 1: have enjoyed you making a Gary Sharone reference at some 171 00:08:12,068 --> 00:08:15,788 Speaker 1: point big extremes men and that era did not quite work. 172 00:08:16,028 --> 00:08:18,428 Speaker 1: Is Nick Mullins Gary Sharone? I don't know. I don't know. 173 00:08:18,468 --> 00:08:21,228 Speaker 1: I don't know how I would have been in gott 174 00:08:21,268 --> 00:08:23,748 Speaker 1: you some top five lists. These go viral. Last week 175 00:08:23,828 --> 00:08:27,108 Speaker 1: I gave my top five underrated quarterback list of all time. 176 00:08:27,148 --> 00:08:30,188 Speaker 1: I'm still getting tweets about Jim Hart and Burt Jones. 177 00:08:30,268 --> 00:08:32,628 Speaker 1: Let's get into the running back position, though, and let's 178 00:08:32,628 --> 00:08:36,748 Speaker 1: start off this week with a GMRB list on the 179 00:08:36,948 --> 00:08:41,188 Speaker 1: top five running backs under the age of twenty five. 180 00:08:41,668 --> 00:08:43,948 Speaker 1: And let's start off with number five on my list, 181 00:08:43,988 --> 00:08:48,708 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions RB one mister DeAndre Swift. DeAndre Swift 182 00:08:48,788 --> 00:08:51,308 Speaker 1: is twenty three years old, and he is coming off 183 00:08:51,748 --> 00:08:54,948 Speaker 1: a big sophomore season. Though he had to miss four 184 00:08:54,988 --> 00:08:57,828 Speaker 1: games and split carries with Jamal Williams, he still put 185 00:08:57,868 --> 00:09:01,588 Speaker 1: over one thousand yards from scrimmage. He had six hundred 186 00:09:01,588 --> 00:09:04,788 Speaker 1: and seventeen yards on the ground five touchdowns. He's one 187 00:09:04,788 --> 00:09:07,268 Speaker 1: of the most talented past catching backs in the league, 188 00:09:07,548 --> 00:09:11,188 Speaker 1: second among running backs with both sixty two catches and 189 00:09:11,268 --> 00:09:14,588 Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty two yards last year. How about this, 190 00:09:14,988 --> 00:09:19,468 Speaker 1: seventeen total touchdowns in his first two seasons, and he 191 00:09:19,548 --> 00:09:22,068 Speaker 1: has been on an offense that has not only struggled, 192 00:09:22,108 --> 00:09:25,148 Speaker 1: but has changed a quarterback multiple times and does not 193 00:09:25,268 --> 00:09:28,308 Speaker 1: have the same star power that some of his contemporaries do. 194 00:09:28,508 --> 00:09:31,668 Speaker 1: I'm a huge DeAndre Swift fan. I believe in year 195 00:09:31,788 --> 00:09:34,588 Speaker 1: three he is going to put up huge numbers in 196 00:09:34,588 --> 00:09:37,308 Speaker 1: a Detroit offense that is now and yet another year 197 00:09:37,508 --> 00:09:40,068 Speaker 1: with their quarterback and some of their core players. Let's 198 00:09:40,068 --> 00:09:42,188 Speaker 1: go to number four, the big body in this one, 199 00:09:42,228 --> 00:09:44,268 Speaker 1: the one that's gonna bang you around. I'm going to 200 00:09:44,388 --> 00:09:47,748 Speaker 1: Denver with Javonte Williams, the second year running back for 201 00:09:47,908 --> 00:09:51,828 Speaker 1: the Broncos, Javonte Williams had a breakout rookie season, again 202 00:09:52,108 --> 00:09:56,588 Speaker 1: sharing carries with Melvin Gordon and yet still still put 203 00:09:56,668 --> 00:10:00,708 Speaker 1: up twelve hundred yards from scrimmage and had seven touchdowns. 204 00:10:01,108 --> 00:10:04,308 Speaker 1: It was a true fifty fifty split with Gordon. Both 205 00:10:04,428 --> 00:10:06,868 Speaker 1: guys had exactly the same carries two hundred and three. 206 00:10:06,908 --> 00:10:10,468 Speaker 1: Yet when Javante touched the ball, people noticed and that 207 00:10:10,628 --> 00:10:12,908 Speaker 1: was the game. When they played the Cowboys down there 208 00:10:12,908 --> 00:10:15,948 Speaker 1: in Dallas, everyone was like, who is number thirty three? Oh? 209 00:10:15,988 --> 00:10:19,468 Speaker 1: That is an absolute beast at the University in North Carolina. 210 00:10:19,548 --> 00:10:25,348 Speaker 1: This guy averaged four yards per carry after dirt Contact's 211 00:10:25,468 --> 00:10:27,348 Speaker 1: one of the most impossible players in the league to 212 00:10:27,348 --> 00:10:31,948 Speaker 1: bring down value, add Russell Wilson, I think Javonte Williams 213 00:10:32,108 --> 00:10:35,588 Speaker 1: is just getting it started. In this one here against 214 00:10:35,668 --> 00:10:38,028 Speaker 1: Kansas City where he actually caught the ball. He was like, no, no, 215 00:10:38,068 --> 00:10:40,348 Speaker 1: I'm not a one dimensional goal lineback. I can do 216 00:10:40,388 --> 00:10:43,028 Speaker 1: it all again. Two hundred and three carries and yet 217 00:10:43,068 --> 00:10:46,308 Speaker 1: had over twelve hundred yards of scrimmage. Javante Williams is 218 00:10:46,348 --> 00:10:49,628 Speaker 1: still just twenty two years old. Who's number three going 219 00:10:49,668 --> 00:10:51,868 Speaker 1: another twenty two year old though he's entering the third 220 00:10:51,948 --> 00:10:55,388 Speaker 1: year of his career, Cam Acres, Los Angeles Rams. It's 221 00:10:55,428 --> 00:10:57,828 Speaker 1: might be a little high on some lists considering he 222 00:10:57,908 --> 00:11:00,068 Speaker 1: missed some time with injury last year, doesn't have the 223 00:11:00,148 --> 00:11:02,348 Speaker 1: huge stats, but I go back to the way they 224 00:11:02,388 --> 00:11:04,628 Speaker 1: were using him at the end of twenty twenty and 225 00:11:04,828 --> 00:11:07,228 Speaker 1: Cam Acres is one of the most dynamic players, not 226 00:11:07,308 --> 00:11:11,148 Speaker 1: just running backs in this league. Acres still just twenty two, 227 00:11:11,828 --> 00:11:15,348 Speaker 1: was used out of the shotgun in a wildcat during 228 00:11:15,348 --> 00:11:18,748 Speaker 1: the divisional round playoffs multiple times, and it was this 229 00:11:18,908 --> 00:11:21,348 Speaker 1: version of cam Akers that you're like, oh gosh, this 230 00:11:21,348 --> 00:11:24,548 Speaker 1: guy has a whole other arsenal member. He was a 231 00:11:24,628 --> 00:11:27,748 Speaker 1: high school quarterback at the State of Mississippi. He is 232 00:11:27,788 --> 00:11:29,668 Speaker 1: a gadget guy when you need him to be. He 233 00:11:29,788 --> 00:11:31,428 Speaker 1: is a lead runner when you need him to be. 234 00:11:31,508 --> 00:11:33,988 Speaker 1: He could be a wide receiver in the slot when 235 00:11:34,028 --> 00:11:36,468 Speaker 1: you need him to be. Cam Akers suffered a preseason 236 00:11:36,468 --> 00:11:40,468 Speaker 1: achilles injury, still got back for their playoff run. Still 237 00:11:40,548 --> 00:11:43,148 Speaker 1: made it impact late, and I believe this year were 238 00:11:43,188 --> 00:11:45,668 Speaker 1: the full off season to recover, he could be in 239 00:11:45,748 --> 00:11:49,068 Speaker 1: the contention for not only a Pro Bowl, but potentially 240 00:11:49,108 --> 00:11:52,508 Speaker 1: first team All Pro. With that Rams offense, which leads 241 00:11:52,588 --> 00:11:54,508 Speaker 1: us to number two. The guy that actually was on 242 00:11:54,548 --> 00:11:57,228 Speaker 1: the field last year and produced at that level, mister 243 00:11:57,348 --> 00:12:00,508 Speaker 1: Naji Harris in Pittsburgh. Naji came in as a first 244 00:12:00,588 --> 00:12:04,028 Speaker 1: round pick with all the expectations and delivered and then 245 00:12:04,028 --> 00:12:08,148 Speaker 1: when above and beyond what expectations were twelve hundred rushing yards, 246 00:12:08,548 --> 00:12:12,428 Speaker 1: four hundred and sixty seven receiving yards, finishing second among 247 00:12:12,548 --> 00:12:15,188 Speaker 1: all running backs in the league with yards from scrimmage. 248 00:12:15,188 --> 00:12:18,108 Speaker 1: He also had ten touchdowns, went to the Pro Bowl 249 00:12:18,148 --> 00:12:20,708 Speaker 1: as an alternate in his rookie year. Here's the thing 250 00:12:20,708 --> 00:12:23,508 Speaker 1: that I love. Led every running back with seventy four 251 00:12:23,588 --> 00:12:26,828 Speaker 1: catches out of the backfield and led the entire NFL 252 00:12:27,308 --> 00:12:30,588 Speaker 1: with three hundred and eighty one touches in his rookie year, 253 00:12:31,188 --> 00:12:34,468 Speaker 1: just getting started. This is an incredible set if you 254 00:12:34,508 --> 00:12:36,828 Speaker 1: consider the fact there was his first time on an 255 00:12:36,948 --> 00:12:40,468 Speaker 1: NFL gridiron. Naji's just getting started. I believe this was 256 00:12:40,508 --> 00:12:43,428 Speaker 1: just year one, and Matt Canada still is there as 257 00:12:43,508 --> 00:12:46,348 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator. And you could argue that Mitchell Trubiski 258 00:12:46,428 --> 00:12:48,828 Speaker 1: or Kenny Pickett, either one of them, whoever starting, is 259 00:12:48,868 --> 00:12:50,948 Speaker 1: more mobile and can do more things out of a 260 00:12:50,988 --> 00:12:54,068 Speaker 1: pocket than what Ben was doing last year. Naji Harris. 261 00:12:54,108 --> 00:12:56,748 Speaker 1: So much respect for this guy, huge personality, great face 262 00:12:56,828 --> 00:12:58,468 Speaker 1: for the league and will be the face of the 263 00:12:58,468 --> 00:13:01,148 Speaker 1: Steelers backfield for years to come. But the number one 264 00:13:01,228 --> 00:13:04,388 Speaker 1: running back under twenty five is my number one running 265 00:13:04,428 --> 00:13:07,068 Speaker 1: back in the entire NFL, and that is mister Jonathan 266 00:13:07,148 --> 00:13:10,148 Speaker 1: Taylor at the University of Wisconsin. Taylor is still just 267 00:13:10,268 --> 00:13:14,268 Speaker 1: twenty three years old. That is scary stuff if you're 268 00:13:14,308 --> 00:13:18,148 Speaker 1: an NFL defensive coordinator. This guy's not going anywhere. Led 269 00:13:18,148 --> 00:13:21,868 Speaker 1: the league with eighteen hundred rushing yards, almost six hundred 270 00:13:21,908 --> 00:13:24,468 Speaker 1: more than the next closest player, which was Nick Chubb 271 00:13:25,028 --> 00:13:29,068 Speaker 1: average nearly six yards per carry. Also had a league 272 00:13:29,228 --> 00:13:33,788 Speaker 1: leading twenty two total touchdown. Now, I know that Derrick 273 00:13:33,868 --> 00:13:35,948 Speaker 1: Henry got hurt, and there's gonna be Derrick Henry folks 274 00:13:35,948 --> 00:13:38,348 Speaker 1: out there saying, yeah, but what about Derek Henry. Fair, 275 00:13:38,708 --> 00:13:41,028 Speaker 1: that's all fair, But when you're telling me you're leading 276 00:13:41,068 --> 00:13:43,588 Speaker 1: the league by more than six hundred yards and you're 277 00:13:43,628 --> 00:13:46,028 Speaker 1: a second year guy, what is Jonathan Taylor going to 278 00:13:46,108 --> 00:13:48,228 Speaker 1: do this year? One of the smartest running backs in 279 00:13:48,228 --> 00:13:49,588 Speaker 1: the league, one of the running backs were the best. 280 00:13:49,748 --> 00:13:51,668 Speaker 1: It looks like he's Levon Bell out there. With the vision. 281 00:13:51,868 --> 00:13:53,588 Speaker 1: He'll do that stutter step where he looks at the 282 00:13:53,628 --> 00:13:56,148 Speaker 1: defense and then hits the whole, and he's nearly impossible 283 00:13:56,188 --> 00:13:58,148 Speaker 1: to bring down. We had the gift of hard knocks 284 00:13:58,268 --> 00:14:01,188 Speaker 1: during the season where we saw Jonathan Taylor in the 285 00:14:01,268 --> 00:14:05,508 Speaker 1: running backs room taking fastidious notes. Just an intellectual at 286 00:14:05,548 --> 00:14:10,428 Speaker 1: the position, loves the sport, brilliant, brilliant player who has 287 00:14:10,468 --> 00:14:12,908 Speaker 1: the physical traits to match it. I don't think Jonathan 288 00:14:12,908 --> 00:14:15,308 Speaker 1: Taylor is going anywhere. Let me take a look at 289 00:14:15,348 --> 00:14:18,588 Speaker 1: the guys I didn't include. We can call these honorable mentions, 290 00:14:18,668 --> 00:14:20,668 Speaker 1: or we can call these guys you just ain't good enough. 291 00:14:20,748 --> 00:14:22,388 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at some of the running backs 292 00:14:22,468 --> 00:14:25,468 Speaker 1: under twenty five who did not make the cut. Here's 293 00:14:25,508 --> 00:14:29,388 Speaker 1: the list of guys the honorable mention slash missed the 294 00:14:29,428 --> 00:14:32,948 Speaker 1: cut list. I didn't include Miles Sanders, didn't include Antonio Gibson, 295 00:14:33,028 --> 00:14:36,028 Speaker 1: David Montgomery not on the list, Josh Jacobs, no Eli 296 00:14:36,108 --> 00:14:38,788 Speaker 1: Mitchell no go down the list. Also with two rookies 297 00:14:38,788 --> 00:14:40,508 Speaker 1: that are gonna get a lot of buzz in Bruce 298 00:14:40,588 --> 00:14:42,628 Speaker 1: Hall and Keneth Walker. You can have in James cook 299 00:14:42,708 --> 00:14:46,668 Speaker 1: Up in Buffalo. I love doing this. I love having 300 00:14:46,668 --> 00:14:49,028 Speaker 1: Twitter tarat Apart.

So the first one who can have 302 00:14:52,988 --> 00:14:56,388 Speaker 1: the honor, mister DeAngelo Hall, have at it. What do 303 00:14:56,428 --> 00:14:58,268 Speaker 1: you think of the list? Who'd I leave off? And 304 00:14:58,268 --> 00:15:01,068 Speaker 1: where did I go wrong? Amazing list? Man, it's hard 305 00:15:01,108 --> 00:15:04,068 Speaker 1: to pick just five names. And your lists, I love 306 00:15:04,388 --> 00:15:06,588 Speaker 1: everybody on your list, and so I don't want nobody 307 00:15:06,668 --> 00:15:09,548 Speaker 1: at me. I feel like maybe I haven't seen enough 308 00:15:09,628 --> 00:15:12,268 Speaker 1: of cam Acres. I know he is a home run hitter. 309 00:15:12,348 --> 00:15:15,068 Speaker 1: But everybody on your lists I absolutely love. I wanted 310 00:15:15,068 --> 00:15:17,908 Speaker 1: to list that didn't make the cut because I see 311 00:15:17,948 --> 00:15:21,508 Speaker 1: Miles Sanders. Man, Miles Sanders has been really good. I'm 312 00:15:21,508 --> 00:15:23,548 Speaker 1: not gonna be a Homer in San Antonio getting so 313 00:15:23,588 --> 00:15:25,788 Speaker 1: I'm cool leaving him off. But Josh Jacobs, come on, 314 00:15:25,908 --> 00:15:29,228 Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell, who I mean, it's some dudes, even the 315 00:15:29,348 --> 00:15:32,028 Speaker 1: rookies Man Breeze Hall, Kenneth Walker that they are gonna 316 00:15:32,028 --> 00:15:36,108 Speaker 1: be some dogs. But man, Miles Sanders, Josh Jacobs, Mitchell, 317 00:15:36,308 --> 00:15:38,188 Speaker 1: you know, especially Mitchell, when you talk about how to 318 00:15:38,228 --> 00:15:40,868 Speaker 1: forty nine ers run the football, how the Eagles were 319 00:15:40,868 --> 00:15:44,028 Speaker 1: able to run the football last year, I know them guys, 320 00:15:44,068 --> 00:15:48,068 Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit upset, Peter, I really like 321 00:15:48,228 --> 00:15:50,868 Speaker 1: that list. Javante Williams I think would actually be a 322 00:15:50,868 --> 00:15:52,988 Speaker 1: little bit higher if he didn't have to split time 323 00:15:53,188 --> 00:15:56,148 Speaker 1: with Melvin Gordon in Denver. And I think that Antonio 324 00:15:56,228 --> 00:15:58,548 Speaker 1: Gibson is also one of those players who would have 325 00:15:58,588 --> 00:16:00,748 Speaker 1: a huge opportunity. Oh and I would be remiss if 326 00:16:00,748 --> 00:16:02,708 Speaker 1: I didn't mention, like, you know, the Bears are gonna 327 00:16:02,748 --> 00:16:05,548 Speaker 1: have four news starters on the offensive line this season, 328 00:16:05,668 --> 00:16:09,028 Speaker 1: a Mike Shanahan run based system. I think you could 329 00:16:09,068 --> 00:16:11,388 Speaker 1: jump into that list next season. All right now, Jarard, 330 00:16:11,468 --> 00:16:13,628 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and the Bengals clearcut favorites to win the 331 00:16:13,628 --> 00:16:15,788 Speaker 1: AFC North this season. We're going to break it all 332 00:16:15,788 --> 00:16:32,548 Speaker 1: down coming up next. Don't going to work. Good morning. 333 00:16:34,348 --> 00:16:38,268 Speaker 1: One of the top three agents available is available no more. 334 00:16:38,388 --> 00:16:41,148 Speaker 1: Jadavian Clowney agreed to terms with the Browns on a 335 00:16:41,228 --> 00:16:46,668 Speaker 1: one year deal that's worth essentially eleven million dollars. That's 336 00:16:46,668 --> 00:16:49,348 Speaker 1: according to our own Ian rapport and Tom Pellisera, who 337 00:16:49,388 --> 00:16:52,828 Speaker 1: also revealed that Clowney turned down bigger offers. That's interesting, 338 00:16:52,908 --> 00:16:58,388 Speaker 1: fourteen and fifteen million dollars ones to return to Cleveland. 339 00:16:58,388 --> 00:17:00,748 Speaker 1: He obviously believes in what's going on there. We've seen 340 00:17:00,828 --> 00:17:02,788 Speaker 1: some big moves in the AFC North so far this 341 00:17:02,828 --> 00:17:06,468 Speaker 1: offseason Deshaun Watson six. But each of these teams made 342 00:17:06,468 --> 00:17:09,428 Speaker 1: some key additions. And this is the division that produced 343 00:17:09,428 --> 00:17:14,988 Speaker 1: the AFC champion Bengals. But has the hierarchy shifted? Are 344 00:17:15,108 --> 00:17:19,348 Speaker 1: the Bengals the clear cut favorites in the AFC North? D'Angelo? 345 00:17:19,428 --> 00:17:21,388 Speaker 1: What do you think? Hey? Look, I love the Bengals. 346 00:17:21,468 --> 00:17:24,268 Speaker 1: I love Joe Burrow, I even love Zach Taylor. But 347 00:17:24,348 --> 00:17:26,308 Speaker 1: for me to sit here and say that the Bengals 348 00:17:26,348 --> 00:17:28,348 Speaker 1: are the clear cut favorite, I'm gonna have to say no. 349 00:17:28,588 --> 00:17:30,628 Speaker 1: I felt like the season they had last year. I'm 350 00:17:30,628 --> 00:17:32,468 Speaker 1: not trying to take anything away from them, but it 351 00:17:32,588 --> 00:17:35,228 Speaker 1: was more of us Cinderella type of a run. I 352 00:17:35,268 --> 00:17:37,548 Speaker 1: think this team is still has some maturity to do. 353 00:17:37,668 --> 00:17:39,508 Speaker 1: But when you talk about to me, the way the 354 00:17:39,548 --> 00:17:42,708 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens play football, when Lamar Jackson is on the 355 00:17:42,748 --> 00:17:46,828 Speaker 1: football field, anything can happen. As he continues to develop, 356 00:17:46,868 --> 00:17:49,588 Speaker 1: they continue to put playmakers around and protect him with 357 00:17:49,628 --> 00:17:52,828 Speaker 1: that offensive line. JK. Dobbins, Peter mentioned him didn't make 358 00:17:52,868 --> 00:17:55,148 Speaker 1: his under twenty five lists, but he's a dog, and 359 00:17:55,228 --> 00:17:58,468 Speaker 1: so they're continuing to put playmakers around Lamar Jackson. If 360 00:17:58,508 --> 00:18:01,308 Speaker 1: this team is healthy, Man, the way they played football, 361 00:18:01,308 --> 00:18:04,068 Speaker 1: they're like the San Francisco forty nine ers. They tell 362 00:18:04,108 --> 00:18:06,028 Speaker 1: you we gonna run in the football and they make 363 00:18:06,348 --> 00:18:08,988 Speaker 1: you stop them. And they had a great draft class. 364 00:18:09,028 --> 00:18:12,028 Speaker 1: I love Kyle Hamilton. Can't wait to see kind of 365 00:18:12,068 --> 00:18:14,868 Speaker 1: that versatile chess piece that he becomes in the new 366 00:18:14,908 --> 00:18:17,908 Speaker 1: defensive quardiny to Mike McDonald's defense, right, I think that's 367 00:18:17,948 --> 00:18:19,748 Speaker 1: one thing we got to remember. It's not gonna be 368 00:18:19,748 --> 00:18:23,068 Speaker 1: Wink Martindale's defense. It might be a hybrid of some 369 00:18:23,188 --> 00:18:26,228 Speaker 1: of Wink Martindale stuff. But Mike McDonald, who had a 370 00:18:26,268 --> 00:18:29,948 Speaker 1: lot of success the University of Michigan, has been around 371 00:18:30,028 --> 00:18:32,548 Speaker 1: John Hallball. I just absolutely love him. I think he'll 372 00:18:32,588 --> 00:18:36,148 Speaker 1: bring a different dynamic to that Baltimore Ravens defense. They'll 373 00:18:36,348 --> 00:18:38,828 Speaker 1: be healthy. Think about all the injuries they had in 374 00:18:38,908 --> 00:18:41,828 Speaker 1: the secondary on the defense, we talked about Lamar Jackson 375 00:18:41,868 --> 00:18:43,948 Speaker 1: being hurt and just that offense struggling a little bit. 376 00:18:44,068 --> 00:18:47,268 Speaker 1: I think it's the Baltimore Ravens personally, But if the 377 00:18:47,308 --> 00:18:49,948 Speaker 1: Browns are in striking distance, depending on what happens with 378 00:18:50,028 --> 00:18:52,948 Speaker 1: their quarterback. If they can hang around. I do think 379 00:18:53,028 --> 00:18:55,708 Speaker 1: they have the best quarterback in the division. And that's 380 00:18:55,708 --> 00:18:58,228 Speaker 1: saying a lot because I just told you I love 381 00:18:58,748 --> 00:19:01,788 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. So it's gonna be interesting. This is gonna 382 00:19:01,788 --> 00:19:03,708 Speaker 1: be one of those divisions to keep an eye on them. 383 00:19:03,868 --> 00:19:08,468 Speaker 1: To Sean Watson's really good, Amari Cooper's really good, Jenevian 384 00:19:08,548 --> 00:19:11,628 Speaker 1: Clowney is back, like they added a lot in Cleveland too. 385 00:19:11,988 --> 00:19:14,428 Speaker 1: And yet I have to give the respect to the 386 00:19:14,428 --> 00:19:18,268 Speaker 1: defending division champions. The Bengals are the team to beat 387 00:19:18,308 --> 00:19:21,868 Speaker 1: in the AFC North until they're beaten. In the last year, 388 00:19:22,628 --> 00:19:25,108 Speaker 1: they absolutely demolished the Ravens in two games, and one 389 00:19:25,108 --> 00:19:27,828 Speaker 1: of them was with Lamar. They crushed the Ravens and 390 00:19:27,868 --> 00:19:30,108 Speaker 1: it was so bad that they reported on late in 391 00:19:30,548 --> 00:19:32,468 Speaker 1: that second time they played, and it looked like John 392 00:19:32,468 --> 00:19:34,348 Speaker 1: Harbaugh had it in his feelings a little bit like 393 00:19:34,348 --> 00:19:36,708 Speaker 1: what are we doing here? The Bengals didn't lose anybody 394 00:19:36,788 --> 00:19:39,108 Speaker 1: of a significance that would make me think they can 395 00:19:39,508 --> 00:19:42,188 Speaker 1: take a major step back. I love c j Uzama 396 00:19:42,188 --> 00:19:45,068 Speaker 1: and some of the defensive backs, but all things considered, 397 00:19:45,228 --> 00:19:47,308 Speaker 1: there's a team that went into Tennessee and beat the 398 00:19:47,388 --> 00:19:50,748 Speaker 1: number one seed, went into Kansas City and beat the 399 00:19:50,788 --> 00:19:54,108 Speaker 1: defending conference champions, and they went to the Super Bowl 400 00:19:54,148 --> 00:19:56,348 Speaker 1: and were a drive short of winning that game. And 401 00:19:56,388 --> 00:19:59,348 Speaker 1: they added to their roster the one Achilles seal for 402 00:19:59,388 --> 00:20:01,708 Speaker 1: the Bengals that they can't block Joe Burrow. And that's true. 403 00:20:01,908 --> 00:20:04,548 Speaker 1: It was sack seventy times or something. Last year. Went 404 00:20:04,548 --> 00:20:06,388 Speaker 1: out and they were very deliberate, and they were like, 405 00:20:06,428 --> 00:20:09,428 Speaker 1: we're gonna get Alex Kappa, who was a talented free 406 00:20:09,428 --> 00:20:13,708 Speaker 1: agent young guy from Buccaneers, Lyle Collins, Ted Carriss from Patriots, 407 00:20:13,748 --> 00:20:16,788 Speaker 1: and then they drafted Cordell Wolson. Big Cordell Wolson talk 408 00:20:16,828 --> 00:20:18,988 Speaker 1: here on Good Morning Football. You're not getting that anywhere else. 409 00:20:19,628 --> 00:20:22,228 Speaker 1: Get these guys, and you're like, we are going to 410 00:20:22,228 --> 00:20:25,028 Speaker 1: build around Borough. I gotta say I love what the 411 00:20:25,108 --> 00:20:26,988 Speaker 1: Ravens and Browns and even the Steelers have done to 412 00:20:27,068 --> 00:20:29,028 Speaker 1: kind of tinker with their rosters. They're all going to 413 00:20:29,068 --> 00:20:32,308 Speaker 1: be competitors. But until someone dethrones the Bengals, let's give 414 00:20:32,308 --> 00:20:34,748 Speaker 1: respect what respect is due. We have disrespected them too 415 00:20:34,748 --> 00:20:37,228 Speaker 1: many times over the last decade. This Bengals team deserves 416 00:20:37,228 --> 00:20:38,868 Speaker 1: our attention. And I'm gonna say they are the AC 417 00:20:39,028 --> 00:20:41,268 Speaker 1: North favorites going into this season. I think that it 418 00:20:41,308 --> 00:20:43,108 Speaker 1: all comes down to Joe Burrow and one of the 419 00:20:43,148 --> 00:20:45,868 Speaker 1: things that we saw recently, he was doing an interview 420 00:20:45,948 --> 00:20:49,548 Speaker 1: and talking about the Baltimore Ravens and how he's owned 421 00:20:49,548 --> 00:20:51,508 Speaker 1: that team, how he loves to beat them, how the 422 00:20:51,588 --> 00:20:54,148 Speaker 1: Ravens always were running their mouth against them, and he 423 00:20:54,228 --> 00:20:56,588 Speaker 1: wanted to go out and really put it on them. 424 00:20:56,628 --> 00:20:59,948 Speaker 1: And I love having a quarterback that's not afraid to 425 00:21:00,028 --> 00:21:04,468 Speaker 1: say something that's not what you typically hear from quarterbacks here. 426 00:21:04,588 --> 00:21:07,508 Speaker 1: A lot of them be very deferential. Oh they're good, 427 00:21:07,548 --> 00:21:10,708 Speaker 1: they're no. No No. Joe Burrow goes the other way. He's 428 00:21:10,748 --> 00:21:13,788 Speaker 1: cutting wrestling promos, and I kind of dig that about him. 429 00:21:13,788 --> 00:21:16,868 Speaker 1: And I think that this Bengals team got better. They 430 00:21:16,868 --> 00:21:19,028 Speaker 1: added a center, they added a right guard, and they 431 00:21:19,028 --> 00:21:22,308 Speaker 1: added a tackle, like they rebuilt three fifths of their 432 00:21:22,348 --> 00:21:25,748 Speaker 1: offensive line. So if you give Joe Burrow more time, 433 00:21:26,508 --> 00:21:29,148 Speaker 1: it's amazing to think that he could actually be better, 434 00:21:29,308 --> 00:21:32,268 Speaker 1: Like he could be an ascending player. So for me, 435 00:21:32,428 --> 00:21:34,388 Speaker 1: I think it's cool, like to talk about these other 436 00:21:34,428 --> 00:21:37,108 Speaker 1: squads and what they've been able to do, but like you, Peter. 437 00:21:37,508 --> 00:21:40,388 Speaker 1: Until somebody goes out there and proves it against the Bengals, 438 00:21:40,388 --> 00:21:42,348 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep picking them. I don't know. I'm a 439 00:21:42,348 --> 00:21:44,628 Speaker 1: little bit worried about the Bengals. The Super Bowl hangover 440 00:21:45,028 --> 00:21:47,708 Speaker 1: curse is a very real thing. Whoever doesn't win the 441 00:21:47,748 --> 00:21:49,708 Speaker 1: Super Bowl always has a little bit of a stutter 442 00:21:49,748 --> 00:21:52,868 Speaker 1: step to their following season. I'm with DeAngelo the Ravens 443 00:21:53,028 --> 00:21:55,268 Speaker 1: last season, guys, I feel like every single time I 444 00:21:55,308 --> 00:21:57,988 Speaker 1: looked at my phone, I had a notification saying another injury, 445 00:21:58,148 --> 00:22:01,708 Speaker 1: another injury. This past season. Lamar Jackson he missed four games. 446 00:22:01,788 --> 00:22:08,148 Speaker 1: JK Dobbins seventeen games, Mores Peters seventeen games. All of 447 00:22:08,148 --> 00:22:10,748 Speaker 1: these guys were out for pretty much the entire season. 448 00:22:10,748 --> 00:22:12,668 Speaker 1: They're not dealing with any of those I was looking 449 00:22:12,708 --> 00:22:15,668 Speaker 1: up these guys last night. They're all recovering. They've had 450 00:22:15,708 --> 00:22:18,388 Speaker 1: their surgeries in the offseason. They're ready for next year. 451 00:22:19,068 --> 00:22:22,788 Speaker 1: Not only that, but somebody from their division, the Bengals 452 00:22:22,908 --> 00:22:25,268 Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl last year. That's a little 453 00:22:25,268 --> 00:22:27,148 Speaker 1: bit of a chip on the shoulder, if I do 454 00:22:27,268 --> 00:22:28,868 Speaker 1: say so, I think that the Ravens are going to 455 00:22:28,908 --> 00:22:31,348 Speaker 1: be really exciting to watch. Also, not to mention we've 456 00:22:31,388 --> 00:22:33,308 Speaker 1: talked about this once on this show before, and it 457 00:22:33,348 --> 00:22:35,428 Speaker 1: got us into a little bit of trouble because Lamar 458 00:22:35,468 --> 00:22:37,868 Speaker 1: Jackson actually tweeted about it. Lamar Jackson has got a 459 00:22:37,988 --> 00:22:40,748 Speaker 1: contract to sign, He's got some money to make. Is 460 00:22:40,788 --> 00:22:42,708 Speaker 1: he gonna ball out this year? Shregger. We got to 461 00:22:42,708 --> 00:22:44,748 Speaker 1: be careful with what we say, shregs. But what do 462 00:22:44,748 --> 00:22:48,188 Speaker 1: you think could this contract? Maybe they said Lamar is 463 00:22:48,188 --> 00:22:50,828 Speaker 1: a viewer of the show. He keeps his ears and 464 00:22:50,868 --> 00:22:54,588 Speaker 1: eyes open. And when we had a very very Dante 465 00:22:54,668 --> 00:22:58,788 Speaker 1: Hall said something very innocuous about his contract, Lamar was 466 00:22:58,788 --> 00:23:01,828 Speaker 1: tweeting and saying, Hey, don't worry about my contract, you know, 467 00:23:01,948 --> 00:23:04,628 Speaker 1: would you guys worry about you? Lamar Jackson? More less, 468 00:23:04,668 --> 00:23:06,428 Speaker 1: it's betting on himself. This year he goes out there 469 00:23:06,428 --> 00:23:08,028 Speaker 1: and they win the AFC North, it's going to be 470 00:23:08,108 --> 00:23:10,708 Speaker 1: impossible not to pay him at least what DeShawn Watson's 471 00:23:10,748 --> 00:23:13,388 Speaker 1: making already. And Deshaun Watson hasn't taken a snap for 472 00:23:13,388 --> 00:23:16,828 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns yet. As a cornerback, you aren't making 473 00:23:16,868 --> 00:23:19,788 Speaker 1: that quarterback type of money. And so sometimes you're forced 474 00:23:19,828 --> 00:23:22,188 Speaker 1: to play on one year deals or you're forced to 475 00:23:22,228 --> 00:23:24,708 Speaker 1: play with no years left on your contract. And so 476 00:23:24,828 --> 00:23:27,788 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson has that mindset that he's had from the 477 00:23:27,828 --> 00:23:30,828 Speaker 1: time he came up playing football, and that's I always 478 00:23:30,868 --> 00:23:33,228 Speaker 1: believe in myself. I never think I'm gonna get hurt. 479 00:23:33,268 --> 00:23:35,468 Speaker 1: I never think about any of those things. And so 480 00:23:35,788 --> 00:23:38,188 Speaker 1: I think Lamar's kind of putting the ball back in 481 00:23:38,308 --> 00:23:40,988 Speaker 1: his court in this whole situation, right how Kirk Cousins 482 00:23:41,068 --> 00:23:43,628 Speaker 1: was able to get franchised twice and essentially write his 483 00:23:43,668 --> 00:23:45,828 Speaker 1: own destiny, And so, you know, I kind of love 484 00:23:45,908 --> 00:23:49,548 Speaker 1: the Lamar Jackson approach of just taking your time, understanding 485 00:23:49,588 --> 00:23:52,588 Speaker 1: that you know that money's not going anywhere. And as 486 00:23:52,628 --> 00:23:55,068 Speaker 1: all of these other quarterbacks continue to, you know, to 487 00:23:55,108 --> 00:23:58,028 Speaker 1: get signed up, the price tag just continues to go 488 00:23:58,228 --> 00:24:01,668 Speaker 1: up and up and up. Because what dominant player doesn't 489 00:24:01,708 --> 00:24:03,988 Speaker 1: feel like they're going to continue to be dominant and 490 00:24:04,028 --> 00:24:06,788 Speaker 1: bet on themselves. And so I actually don't mind it. 491 00:24:06,788 --> 00:24:09,148 Speaker 1: If I'm the Marrow, I possibly would go ahead and 492 00:24:09,188 --> 00:24:11,028 Speaker 1: take the forty five a year and go ahead and 493 00:24:11,068 --> 00:24:13,668 Speaker 1: lock it up. But I ain't mad at of meeting 494 00:24:13,748 --> 00:24:15,588 Speaker 1: you know, I ain't mad at of mitt All. But 495 00:24:15,668 --> 00:24:17,828 Speaker 1: it's kind of on brand for him, Like he was 496 00:24:17,868 --> 00:24:20,308 Speaker 1: a standout at Louisville. It's not like he went to 497 00:24:20,668 --> 00:24:23,388 Speaker 1: an SEC school. He was somebody who has drafted at 498 00:24:23,388 --> 00:24:26,028 Speaker 1: the very end of the first round. He has been 499 00:24:26,068 --> 00:24:30,508 Speaker 1: a player that people have suggested Chang's position, and every 500 00:24:30,588 --> 00:24:34,068 Speaker 1: time he continues to better himself and continues to be 501 00:24:34,068 --> 00:24:36,028 Speaker 1: one of the top players in the NFL. So I'm 502 00:24:36,068 --> 00:24:38,228 Speaker 1: not questioning him. What he's done to get to this 503 00:24:38,308 --> 00:24:40,668 Speaker 1: point is proven to be correct. So I will trust him, 504 00:24:40,668 --> 00:24:42,588 Speaker 1: and I will trust this process, and I know it's 505 00:24:42,588 --> 00:24:45,548 Speaker 1: going to be very lucrative for him. It's time for 506 00:24:45,788 --> 00:24:49,748 Speaker 1: Decade Dynamos. All this week on Good Morning Football, we 507 00:24:49,788 --> 00:24:52,908 Speaker 1: are going to be celebrating one decade for each of us, 508 00:24:52,948 --> 00:24:55,188 Speaker 1: where we'll give you an all time team that includes 509 00:24:55,228 --> 00:24:57,388 Speaker 1: a quarterback, of running back, a wide receiver, and a 510 00:24:57,428 --> 00:25:01,868 Speaker 1: defensive player. I have been chosen to represent the nineteen nineties, 511 00:25:01,908 --> 00:25:04,308 Speaker 1: which is in my decade, the decade of junko, gene 512 00:25:04,788 --> 00:25:08,628 Speaker 1: pulp fiction, Scott Rayner as the original drummer of Blink 513 00:25:08,668 --> 00:25:12,108 Speaker 1: one eighty two, and the nineties was also a decade 514 00:25:12,188 --> 00:25:17,108 Speaker 1: of Mussey television. Seinfeld friends say, by the bell maybe, 515 00:25:17,148 --> 00:25:20,588 Speaker 1: but the most mussy player in the NFL of the 516 00:25:20,668 --> 00:25:24,148 Speaker 1: nineteen nineties comes from the running back position. Barry Sanders 517 00:25:24,468 --> 00:25:27,948 Speaker 1: is my all decades running back of the nineteen nineties. 518 00:25:27,988 --> 00:25:29,948 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people a Cowboys fans are 519 00:25:29,948 --> 00:25:33,428 Speaker 1: probably livid right now saying what about Emmitt Smith. Barry 520 00:25:33,468 --> 00:25:37,148 Speaker 1: Sanders was incredible. Led the NFL during the nineteen nineties 521 00:25:37,148 --> 00:25:41,188 Speaker 1: in rushing yards yards per rush at five point zero. 522 00:25:41,748 --> 00:25:45,628 Speaker 1: He had nine one thousand yards seasons and did not 523 00:25:45,828 --> 00:25:48,828 Speaker 1: play in nineteen ninety nine, and he was incredible. And 524 00:25:49,108 --> 00:25:52,148 Speaker 1: I know you kids have access to YouTube. I implore 525 00:25:52,188 --> 00:25:54,828 Speaker 1: you how to go onto the NFL throwback channel, find 526 00:25:54,908 --> 00:25:57,828 Speaker 1: some Barry Sanders highlights. You will not be disappointed. Now, 527 00:25:57,948 --> 00:26:00,748 Speaker 1: another hallmark of the nineteen nineties, we had the goat 528 00:26:00,908 --> 00:26:05,548 Speaker 1: in the NBA, Michael Jordan. Similarly, the goat of the NFL, 529 00:26:05,628 --> 00:26:09,548 Speaker 1: whose careers spanned started in the eighties, drifted through the nineties. 530 00:26:09,588 --> 00:26:13,228 Speaker 1: Like Michael Jordan, my pick is going to be Jerry Rice. 531 00:26:13,268 --> 00:26:16,548 Speaker 1: It couldn't be anybody else but Jerry Rice and the 532 00:26:16,548 --> 00:26:20,588 Speaker 1: accolades just keep coming and coming and again nobody was 533 00:26:20,628 --> 00:26:23,748 Speaker 1: close to him. Yardage wise, he had over twelve thousand 534 00:26:23,788 --> 00:26:27,108 Speaker 1: receiving yards in the decade The next closest was our 535 00:26:27,148 --> 00:26:30,268 Speaker 1: own Michael Irvin, who had close to eleven thousand, so 536 00:26:30,388 --> 00:26:32,828 Speaker 1: I was pretty good. He had one hundred and three 537 00:26:32,868 --> 00:26:37,028 Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns. I think the records in saying originally was 538 00:26:37,268 --> 00:26:40,628 Speaker 1: Don Hudson ran ninety nine and then he goes out 539 00:26:40,668 --> 00:26:42,708 Speaker 1: there has one o three just in the nineties. This 540 00:26:42,788 --> 00:26:44,788 Speaker 1: is not count the eighties. He was drafted in nineteen 541 00:26:44,828 --> 00:26:47,388 Speaker 1: eighty five. He had that post career with the Okral 542 00:26:47,508 --> 00:26:50,428 Speaker 1: Raiders and of course Denverse Seattle, another big thing of 543 00:26:50,468 --> 00:26:53,508 Speaker 1: the nineties. Televangelists were big. As a matter of fact, 544 00:26:53,548 --> 00:26:56,268 Speaker 1: Iron Maidens sang about them and their hit single of 545 00:26:56,268 --> 00:26:58,988 Speaker 1: the nineties, Holy Smoke. But for my defender of the 546 00:26:59,108 --> 00:27:02,228 Speaker 1: nineteen nineties, I'm gonna go with the Minister of Defense, 547 00:27:02,628 --> 00:27:07,028 Speaker 1: Reggie White. A tough decision between him and Prime. But 548 00:27:07,108 --> 00:27:08,468 Speaker 1: I think one of the things that we need to 549 00:27:08,548 --> 00:27:12,068 Speaker 1: remember about Reggie White is he's obviously a dominating player 550 00:27:12,548 --> 00:27:17,588 Speaker 1: with the Philadelphia Eagles, but free agency really changed the 551 00:27:17,708 --> 00:27:23,628 Speaker 1: NFL during the nineteen nineties, and when he decided to 552 00:27:23,788 --> 00:27:27,508 Speaker 1: go to the Green Bay Packers, that really changed the 553 00:27:27,548 --> 00:27:31,108 Speaker 1: tenor of the NFL. The Packers went on to be 554 00:27:31,148 --> 00:27:33,308 Speaker 1: a pretty good team. They won the Super Bowl in 555 00:27:33,828 --> 00:27:37,868 Speaker 1: this decade, and the reason was because Reggie White went 556 00:27:37,948 --> 00:27:41,868 Speaker 1: and played there. And I am convinced that had Reggie 557 00:27:41,868 --> 00:27:45,268 Speaker 1: White not signed with the Green Bay Packers, if he 558 00:27:45,268 --> 00:27:47,148 Speaker 1: had stayed in Philadelphia, they would not have won a 559 00:27:47,148 --> 00:27:49,908 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. We would be talking about Red far not 560 00:27:49,988 --> 00:27:53,548 Speaker 1: having a Super Bowl. Now. I got to get serious 561 00:27:53,588 --> 00:27:57,388 Speaker 1: here for a second. Because I saved the quarterback position 562 00:27:57,708 --> 00:28:02,068 Speaker 1: for last, the most controversial thing in the nineteen nineties occurred. 563 00:28:02,068 --> 00:28:03,508 Speaker 1: I want to make sure I get this date right. 564 00:28:03,588 --> 00:28:08,228 Speaker 1: November nine, nineteen ninety seven, the Moulson Center in Montreal, 565 00:28:08,708 --> 00:28:14,948 Speaker 1: WWE Survivor Series. The Montreal Screw drob HPK defeats be 566 00:28:15,188 --> 00:28:18,148 Speaker 1: Bret Hart. The most controversial thing in the nineties until 567 00:28:18,228 --> 00:28:21,668 Speaker 1: right now, because my pick at quarterback is not Steve Young, 568 00:28:21,788 --> 00:28:24,348 Speaker 1: it's not Brett Farve, it's not even John Elway. Give 569 00:28:24,348 --> 00:28:29,388 Speaker 1: me Troy Aikman in a sport that is where we 570 00:28:29,548 --> 00:28:34,988 Speaker 1: determined greatness. In Super Bowl rings, nobody matched Troy Aikman. 571 00:28:35,028 --> 00:28:36,508 Speaker 1: And if you want to sit there and you want 572 00:28:36,508 --> 00:28:39,188 Speaker 1: to go to the Pro Football Reference and pull out 573 00:28:39,228 --> 00:28:41,108 Speaker 1: some numbers like look at this guy at more yards 574 00:28:41,148 --> 00:28:45,908 Speaker 1: or whatever, you gotta understand in the early nineties, the Packers, 575 00:28:46,308 --> 00:28:49,428 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers, and the Cowboys were all loaded. 576 00:28:49,748 --> 00:28:54,908 Speaker 1: All of those teams were superstar teams. Troy Aikman dominated 577 00:28:55,148 --> 00:28:58,468 Speaker 1: all of them. And he did it with a coaching change. 578 00:28:58,908 --> 00:29:01,748 Speaker 1: Have they not moved on from Jimmy Johnson? Who knows 579 00:29:01,748 --> 00:29:04,508 Speaker 1: how many rings Troy Aikman could have ended up it? 580 00:29:05,028 --> 00:29:07,668 Speaker 1: So for me, if we recognized Tom Brady is the 581 00:29:07,708 --> 00:29:10,588 Speaker 1: goat because he won seven Super Bowl titles, why do 582 00:29:10,668 --> 00:29:14,348 Speaker 1: we not give Troy Aikmen more credit for the three 583 00:29:14,388 --> 00:29:16,948 Speaker 1: out of four what he did in the nineteen nineties. 584 00:29:16,988 --> 00:29:18,788 Speaker 1: To me, that is the impressiment and that's who I'm 585 00:29:18,788 --> 00:29:20,588 Speaker 1: gonna go with. I will throw it to you, Peter. 586 00:29:20,668 --> 00:29:23,268 Speaker 1: You can take your shots due what I think. Three 587 00:29:23,308 --> 00:29:25,908 Speaker 1: of them are obvious. I think the biggest the biggest 588 00:29:25,988 --> 00:29:27,908 Speaker 1: question is who you put at quarterbacks? So, Peter, I'll 589 00:29:27,988 --> 00:29:30,028 Speaker 1: kick it off for you. Who would you have put 590 00:29:30,028 --> 00:29:33,348 Speaker 1: at quarterback? You know, the AP voters did this for 591 00:29:33,388 --> 00:29:36,268 Speaker 1: the All nineties team and they chose John Elway as 592 00:29:36,308 --> 00:29:38,508 Speaker 1: their nineties quarterback. And I don't know, I feel like 593 00:29:38,508 --> 00:29:40,308 Speaker 1: ola one at the end, but he went to three 594 00:29:40,308 --> 00:29:42,668 Speaker 1: Super Bowls in the eighties. Achman to me is the 595 00:29:42,788 --> 00:29:45,508 Speaker 1: nineties quarterback five would have the MVPs but didn't have 596 00:29:45,508 --> 00:29:47,268 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl rings. Adam, I don't slight you on 597 00:29:47,308 --> 00:29:51,548 Speaker 1: the quarterback. For me, Bruce Smith is so wildly overlooked 598 00:29:51,548 --> 00:29:53,708 Speaker 1: when we talk about the greatest defensive players of all time. 599 00:29:53,828 --> 00:29:56,068 Speaker 1: Listen to his sack numbers that he had in the 600 00:29:56,148 --> 00:30:01,508 Speaker 1: nineties alone. Fourteen, fourteen, nineteen ten, eleven, eleven, thirteen and 601 00:30:01,548 --> 00:30:04,708 Speaker 1: a half, fourteen, ten, ten. That's double digit SA in 602 00:30:04,828 --> 00:30:07,308 Speaker 1: nine of the ten years. Bruce Smith did it, and 603 00:30:07,388 --> 00:30:10,508 Speaker 1: yet it is never considered in that same conversation as 604 00:30:10,708 --> 00:30:13,188 Speaker 1: LT or Reggie White or even mean Joe Green. As 605 00:30:13,228 --> 00:30:15,508 Speaker 1: far as pass rushers go all time, sac latter did 606 00:30:15,628 --> 00:30:18,148 Speaker 1: bulk of it in the nineties. Bruce Smith is my 607 00:30:18,268 --> 00:30:23,748 Speaker 1: old mission. Sorry Dion, Sorry Reggie White and Lawrence Taylor. Adam, 608 00:30:23,988 --> 00:30:27,348 Speaker 1: your point you made about Barry Sanders and everybody coming 609 00:30:27,468 --> 00:30:30,228 Speaker 1: at you for putting him instead of Emmet's kind of 610 00:30:30,228 --> 00:30:33,708 Speaker 1: why I don't put Troy because when you talk about 611 00:30:33,708 --> 00:30:37,428 Speaker 1: them Dallas teams, yeah, they switched coaches. Bro I could 612 00:30:37,428 --> 00:30:39,468 Speaker 1: have coached that team and we'd have won a Super Bowl. 613 00:30:39,548 --> 00:30:43,628 Speaker 1: They were hands down the most talented team every time 614 00:30:43,668 --> 00:30:46,188 Speaker 1: they stepped on the field. And so the reason I 615 00:30:46,268 --> 00:30:48,308 Speaker 1: don't put Troy as the reason you didn't put in 616 00:30:48,428 --> 00:30:50,868 Speaker 1: it Barry Sanders, was that dude you talk about the 617 00:30:50,948 --> 00:30:53,788 Speaker 1: quarterback position. I was always a Brett Farve guy, but 618 00:30:53,868 --> 00:30:56,748 Speaker 1: I probably would have put John Elway. You talked about 619 00:30:56,788 --> 00:30:59,708 Speaker 1: them three super Bowls in the eighties. He won two 620 00:30:59,748 --> 00:31:02,628 Speaker 1: in the nineties, and so I like John Elway, but 621 00:31:02,988 --> 00:31:15,988 Speaker 1: you know, Tomato, Tomato, I love them all. Man, Hella Belijah, Hey, 622 00:31:16,068 --> 00:31:19,868 Speaker 1: welcome back to Good Morning Football. It is National Lucky 623 00:31:20,068 --> 00:31:23,548 Speaker 1: Penny Day today. There's a national holiday for literally everything. 624 00:31:23,588 --> 00:31:27,508 Speaker 1: So let's celebrate this extremely important national holiday with a 625 00:31:27,548 --> 00:31:31,468 Speaker 1: new segment called A Penny for Your Thoughts. Here's how 626 00:31:31,468 --> 00:31:33,028 Speaker 1: it is going to work. I'm going to give you 627 00:31:33,028 --> 00:31:34,948 Speaker 1: guys a topic, and you are all going to give 628 00:31:34,988 --> 00:31:37,228 Speaker 1: me a penny for your thoughts. But not actually, because 629 00:31:37,268 --> 00:31:39,308 Speaker 1: I don't like to collect coins. They smell weird, and 630 00:31:39,588 --> 00:31:42,708 Speaker 1: it's fine. When asked about playing for Sean McVay, new 631 00:31:42,788 --> 00:31:47,028 Speaker 1: Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson told reporters, I truly believe 632 00:31:47,188 --> 00:31:50,148 Speaker 1: that it'll bring the best out of me. Which player 633 00:31:50,228 --> 00:31:54,588 Speaker 1: on a new team will reach their full potential this season, D'Angelo, 634 00:31:54,628 --> 00:31:56,748 Speaker 1: what do you think, Well, for me, it hands down 635 00:31:56,908 --> 00:32:01,108 Speaker 1: goes to the best receiver in the National Football League 636 00:32:01,268 --> 00:32:04,788 Speaker 1: and that's Las Vegas. Radas receive a Devantae Adams. I mean, 637 00:32:04,828 --> 00:32:08,068 Speaker 1: I think about how Defonte Adams plays the position. He 638 00:32:08,148 --> 00:32:11,268 Speaker 1: is a jack of all trades. He's a home run hitter. 639 00:32:11,348 --> 00:32:14,308 Speaker 1: I mean, the superlatives keep going on and on when 640 00:32:14,348 --> 00:32:16,988 Speaker 1: you talk about what these dude brings to a football team. 641 00:32:17,348 --> 00:32:20,468 Speaker 1: And then you couple that with his relationship with Derek Carr. 642 00:32:20,828 --> 00:32:23,708 Speaker 1: A guy goes back to college, right, you know, when 643 00:32:23,788 --> 00:32:26,628 Speaker 1: these guys were really forming who they would become. Guy 644 00:32:26,668 --> 00:32:29,028 Speaker 1: who knows him better than probably anybody else on the 645 00:32:29,068 --> 00:32:33,628 Speaker 1: football field, and just that chemistry, right, that undeniable chemistry 646 00:32:33,668 --> 00:32:36,388 Speaker 1: that we've seen through the course of history in the 647 00:32:36,468 --> 00:32:39,228 Speaker 1: National Football League, right, some of the best receiver and 648 00:32:39,348 --> 00:32:43,068 Speaker 1: quarterback tandems. I think these two guys have an opportunity, 649 00:32:43,068 --> 00:32:46,148 Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna hinge DeVante Adams just doing 650 00:32:46,188 --> 00:32:49,388 Speaker 1: what he does being special. I know Josh McDaniels is 651 00:32:49,508 --> 00:32:52,348 Speaker 1: definitely gonna make sure he has a whole lot of 652 00:32:52,388 --> 00:32:54,508 Speaker 1: plays that's gonna get that man right there to football, 653 00:32:54,548 --> 00:32:57,908 Speaker 1: So I think it's DeVante Adams. Now, I love Devonte Adams. 654 00:32:57,948 --> 00:33:00,148 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be great for Derek Carr. Alan 655 00:33:00,228 --> 00:33:02,828 Speaker 1: Robinson is another one I would consider as well. But 656 00:33:02,868 --> 00:33:05,028 Speaker 1: the guy I'm really looking at his age Brown, who 657 00:33:05,148 --> 00:33:07,028 Speaker 1: going into last season, I thought he was on the 658 00:33:07,108 --> 00:33:09,548 Speaker 1: cusp of a breakout with the Tennessee Titans, and of 659 00:33:09,588 --> 00:33:12,548 Speaker 1: course he gets traded during the offseason, and I really 660 00:33:12,548 --> 00:33:15,748 Speaker 1: like to fit for him in Philadelphia. I think that 661 00:33:15,828 --> 00:33:18,428 Speaker 1: this offense is going to find a variety of ways 662 00:33:18,748 --> 00:33:20,708 Speaker 1: to get him the football. And if you look over 663 00:33:20,908 --> 00:33:23,428 Speaker 1: if you look at the Philadelphia Eagles over the last 664 00:33:23,468 --> 00:33:25,668 Speaker 1: couple of years, they put a lot of draft capital 665 00:33:26,028 --> 00:33:29,628 Speaker 1: in trying to improve this wide receiver room. Hasn't really 666 00:33:29,628 --> 00:33:33,228 Speaker 1: worked out with Jalen Reagor. They get the Vata Smith 667 00:33:33,308 --> 00:33:36,068 Speaker 1: last year, and now I think bringing in AJ Brown 668 00:33:36,188 --> 00:33:38,748 Speaker 1: is going to be that final piece. And earlier in 669 00:33:38,788 --> 00:33:41,028 Speaker 1: the show, I was talking about them being, you know, 670 00:33:41,108 --> 00:33:43,948 Speaker 1: in that third tier, but AJ Brown is that type 671 00:33:43,948 --> 00:33:46,628 Speaker 1: of player who can get them to that second tier, 672 00:33:46,828 --> 00:33:48,828 Speaker 1: perhaps even that first year. I think he's going to 673 00:33:48,908 --> 00:33:51,548 Speaker 1: have a fantastic season. Now I don't know if they're 674 00:33:51,548 --> 00:33:54,228 Speaker 1: going to reach their full potential this season, but I'm 675 00:33:54,348 --> 00:33:57,588 Speaker 1: very excited to watch him try. And that is Russell 676 00:33:58,348 --> 00:34:01,868 Speaker 1: Wilson with the Broncos. The Broncos have not really had 677 00:34:01,908 --> 00:34:07,388 Speaker 1: an incredible leader besides Peyton Manning he left in twenty fifteen. 678 00:34:08,028 --> 00:34:10,548 Speaker 1: They need somebody like Russell Wilson. Seems like they kind 679 00:34:10,548 --> 00:34:13,868 Speaker 1: of ran their course in Seattle. He's a nice guy. 680 00:34:13,948 --> 00:34:16,388 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll's a nice guy, but they seem to have 681 00:34:16,428 --> 00:34:19,628 Speaker 1: some tension towards the end there. I just think that 682 00:34:19,668 --> 00:34:21,748 Speaker 1: things are going to be revitalized in Denver. Him and 683 00:34:21,828 --> 00:34:23,748 Speaker 1: Ciarra about a house. Ciara is on the cover of 684 00:34:23,788 --> 00:34:27,748 Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated. They are winning people. He's got some incredible weapons. 685 00:34:27,748 --> 00:34:29,588 Speaker 1: We don't know what's gonna happen with Jerry Judy yet, 686 00:34:29,588 --> 00:34:31,668 Speaker 1: but if he comes back and everything's cleared, that could 687 00:34:31,668 --> 00:34:33,788 Speaker 1: be an incredible pairing. I'm really excited to watch Russell 688 00:34:33,788 --> 00:34:38,028 Speaker 1: Wilson do his thing this year. You guys mentioned three superstars, 689 00:34:38,028 --> 00:34:40,668 Speaker 1: and all of them have high hopes to actually fulfill 690 00:34:40,748 --> 00:34:43,748 Speaker 1: this potential for what those teams have either a traded 691 00:34:43,788 --> 00:34:46,588 Speaker 1: for or what they're paying them to get. I'm going 692 00:34:46,628 --> 00:34:48,028 Speaker 1: with a guy who I thought was an under the 693 00:34:48,268 --> 00:34:50,028 Speaker 1: radar signing and it's not as big a name, but 694 00:34:50,108 --> 00:34:53,068 Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds in Miami. Chase Edmonds was a very good 695 00:34:53,188 --> 00:34:55,948 Speaker 1: running back for the Arizona Cardinals. And now he goes 696 00:34:55,988 --> 00:34:59,828 Speaker 1: to Mike McDaniel's offense down there in Miami where they 697 00:34:59,868 --> 00:35:04,268 Speaker 1: already have Ryan Mostert and they've got several other guys 698 00:35:04,388 --> 00:35:07,148 Speaker 1: in that backfield, including Miles Gaskin. But they went and 699 00:35:07,148 --> 00:35:09,628 Speaker 1: they paid Chase Edmonds like they went and they got 700 00:35:09,708 --> 00:35:11,948 Speaker 1: this guy. They proactively traded for him. And if you 701 00:35:11,948 --> 00:35:15,068 Speaker 1: think about who's the architect of the offense, it's the 702 00:35:15,108 --> 00:35:17,108 Speaker 1: guy who was the architect of one of the best 703 00:35:17,188 --> 00:35:19,428 Speaker 1: running attacks in football the last several years. But they 704 00:35:19,428 --> 00:35:22,708 Speaker 1: had in San Francisco and McDaniel. They didn't just accidentally 705 00:35:22,748 --> 00:35:25,588 Speaker 1: find themselves Chase Edmonds. He had a market and they 706 00:35:25,628 --> 00:35:28,108 Speaker 1: paid him good money to come there. I think he 707 00:35:28,188 --> 00:35:32,108 Speaker 1: might get even better fantasy football wise, in the receiving 708 00:35:32,148 --> 00:35:35,868 Speaker 1: game wise, and of course in the actual run game situations. 709 00:35:35,908 --> 00:35:38,388 Speaker 1: I think Chase Edmonds might be an even better pro 710 00:35:38,468 --> 00:35:40,228 Speaker 1: with the Dolphins. And he was in Arizona and he 711 00:35:40,268 --> 00:35:43,188 Speaker 1: was an already good pro with the Arizona Cardinals for years. 712 00:35:44,628 --> 00:35:47,228 Speaker 1: It was a fun first show of the week, D'Angelo Hall, 713 00:35:47,348 --> 00:35:49,868 Speaker 1: Rachel Bonetta and Adam Rank. And Adam Rank had the 714 00:35:50,348 --> 00:35:53,148 Speaker 1: un end viable task of giving us an all nineties 715 00:35:53,228 --> 00:35:57,548 Speaker 1: decade team at each of these positions, and the Twitter 716 00:35:57,668 --> 00:36:01,028 Speaker 1: fans we're not thrilled with some of the choices. Come 717 00:36:01,108 --> 00:36:02,588 Speaker 1: on and let's go through some of the tweets. We 718 00:36:02,628 --> 00:36:04,108 Speaker 1: all know Adam Rank as a Bears fan, which is 719 00:36:04,108 --> 00:36:06,068 Speaker 1: the reason why you listen to something other than five. 720 00:36:06,788 --> 00:36:09,788 Speaker 1: Jim Brasco, what's up? I hear you I a five one? 721 00:36:09,828 --> 00:36:12,788 Speaker 1: How many MVPs I've replaced Akman with far otherwise? They 722 00:36:12,908 --> 00:36:16,308 Speaker 1: the same? Yep, the five army is out there. Rank. 723 00:36:16,708 --> 00:36:19,308 Speaker 1: I'm sure your personal feed is blowing up. Defend your 724 00:36:19,348 --> 00:36:21,668 Speaker 1: picks a little bit, you know what. That's the thing. 725 00:36:21,708 --> 00:36:24,628 Speaker 1: I thought I would appease the Packers fans by giving 726 00:36:24,668 --> 00:36:26,668 Speaker 1: them Reggie White. You know I'm taking Reggie White out, 727 00:36:26,668 --> 00:36:29,668 Speaker 1: then I'm putting Bruce Smith in. The Packers don't deserve anything. 728 00:36:29,948 --> 00:36:33,228 Speaker 1: By the way, you thirty years of Hall of Fame 729 00:36:33,348 --> 00:36:36,028 Speaker 1: quarterback play. What do you have this show for it? 730 00:36:36,108 --> 00:36:38,908 Speaker 1: You have as many combined rings as Eli Manning, So listen, 731 00:36:38,988 --> 00:36:40,548 Speaker 1: don't put Farve on that list. I wouldn't have put 732 00:36:40,588 --> 00:36:42,588 Speaker 1: him ahead of Steve Young, I wouldn't put him ahead 733 00:36:42,588 --> 00:36:45,748 Speaker 1: of Elway. So enough, it's Monday. We've been along. That's 734 00:36:46,348 --> 00:36:49,228 Speaker 1: starting Twitter beefs. I don't I don't know. If that's 735 00:36:49,228 --> 00:36:53,348 Speaker 1: a clip that one off. Put that on Twitter, I'll 736 00:36:53,388 --> 00:36:55,588 Speaker 1: be doing it. Yeah, put that on Twitter. I'll take 737 00:36:55,668 --> 00:36:59,628 Speaker 1: him on. Holding out everybody, Okay, we will see you tomorrow. 738 00:36:59,668 --> 00:36:59,828 Speaker 1: Bright
