Good Morning, Welcome to Good Morning Football. 3 00:00:27,468 --> 00:00:29,148 Speaker 1: We are alive here in New York City. It's Tuesday, 4 00:00:29,188 --> 00:00:31,988 Speaker 1: August thirtieth. My name is Jamie art All, alongside Kyle Brand, 5 00:00:32,028 --> 00:00:36,068 Speaker 1: Peter Schraeger, and Jason mccordy. And there's a very happy 6 00:00:36,148 --> 00:00:39,748 Speaker 1: pocket here between preseason football the regular season football where 7 00:00:39,748 --> 00:00:43,028 Speaker 1: we get to watch Serena Williams operate as they'll goat 8 00:00:43,188 --> 00:00:45,748 Speaker 1: because that is also what's happening here in New York City. 9 00:00:45,748 --> 00:00:47,188 Speaker 1: And if you're a fan of football, that means you're 10 00:00:47,188 --> 00:00:50,708 Speaker 1: a fan of fantastic athletes, and she is one of them. Incredible. 11 00:00:50,788 --> 00:00:56,108 Speaker 1: Did you watch I didn't I miss it? The kids 12 00:00:56,108 --> 00:00:59,068 Speaker 1: wanted to go out, Yeah, I guess Oprah was Oprah 13 00:00:59,068 --> 00:01:04,708 Speaker 1: was talking about. But the kids wanted to go for Pizza's. Yeah. 14 00:01:04,708 --> 00:01:06,788 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what. Albert Poohles hit a home 15 00:01:06,828 --> 00:01:13,028 Speaker 1: run last night. And then Tom Brady's just never left. 16 00:01:13,308 --> 00:01:15,388 Speaker 1: Those two are going to resurgence and Tom Brady is 17 00:01:15,428 --> 00:01:18,868 Speaker 1: still here. All right, We're gonna join. We're gonna welcome 18 00:01:18,908 --> 00:01:21,828 Speaker 1: in now our NFL network and sire Ian Rabawork Ian, 19 00:01:22,068 --> 00:01:25,308 Speaker 1: good morning. You just tweeted a story involving a former 20 00:01:25,388 --> 00:01:28,468 Speaker 1: Raiders running back and the Baltimore Ravens. Give us all 21 00:01:28,508 --> 00:01:32,908 Speaker 1: the details on this potential combo, Jamie. So much about 22 00:01:32,908 --> 00:01:35,428 Speaker 1: today is about cutdowns and who makes the fifty three 23 00:01:35,428 --> 00:01:37,548 Speaker 1: man roster, but this is more about who's coming onto 24 00:01:37,628 --> 00:01:42,068 Speaker 1: a roster. Kenyan Drake, the former Arizona Cardinal starter, former 25 00:01:42,228 --> 00:01:45,068 Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders starter left after who was cut after 26 00:01:45,148 --> 00:01:48,148 Speaker 1: just one season there in Las Vegas. He is visiting 27 00:01:48,148 --> 00:01:51,508 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens today. And now the Ravens, of course, 28 00:01:51,548 --> 00:01:54,068 Speaker 1: have made moves over the last couple of weeks, looking 29 00:01:54,108 --> 00:01:56,548 Speaker 1: to bolster their running back room name and searching for 30 00:01:56,708 --> 00:02:00,348 Speaker 1: upgrades considering their injuries in depth issues there, Kenyan Drake 31 00:02:00,428 --> 00:02:02,948 Speaker 1: comes in on a visit today. My understanding is he 32 00:02:03,068 --> 00:02:06,148 Speaker 1: is expected to sign if all goes well, and this 33 00:02:06,228 --> 00:02:08,268 Speaker 1: makes sense for numerous reasons. First of all, you have 34 00:02:08,308 --> 00:02:10,988 Speaker 1: Gus Edwards on the puplist, could have missed the first 35 00:02:11,028 --> 00:02:15,188 Speaker 1: four games. JK. Dobbin still somewhat in doubt four week one. 36 00:02:15,228 --> 00:02:18,228 Speaker 1: This gives you reinforcements there. Plus, as you guys know, 37 00:02:18,388 --> 00:02:20,788 Speaker 1: the Raiders are paying Drake sellers so this is likely 38 00:02:20,828 --> 00:02:23,188 Speaker 1: going to be a minimum deal just based on the 39 00:02:23,228 --> 00:02:26,468 Speaker 1: offsets he has. Makes a ton of sense for the 40 00:02:26,468 --> 00:02:31,388 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. Yeah, you never know where those opportunities are 41 00:02:31,428 --> 00:02:33,988 Speaker 1: going to pop up. But yeah, let's talk about the 42 00:02:34,028 --> 00:02:39,228 Speaker 1: big news that dropped yesterday, Jimmy Garoppolo's contract restructure with 43 00:02:39,268 --> 00:02:41,908 Speaker 1: the Niners. How did it all go down? Let us 44 00:02:41,948 --> 00:02:45,428 Speaker 1: know all of the details that were involved. Yeah, so 45 00:02:45,508 --> 00:02:47,628 Speaker 1: much of the discussion, guys was about where was Jimmy 46 00:02:47,668 --> 00:02:50,308 Speaker 1: Garoppolo gonna go. Obviously they would have to cut him. Well, 47 00:02:50,348 --> 00:02:52,388 Speaker 1: the forty nineers just said it, Yeah, we're just not 48 00:02:52,428 --> 00:02:54,388 Speaker 1: going to do that. I would say about four or 49 00:02:54,388 --> 00:02:57,668 Speaker 1: five days ago, conversations picked up between Jimmy Garoppolo's agents 50 00:02:57,668 --> 00:03:00,548 Speaker 1: and the forty nine ers about him possibly staying. And 51 00:03:00,588 --> 00:03:02,868 Speaker 1: there's a couple of reasons for that. First of all, 52 00:03:02,908 --> 00:03:05,628 Speaker 1: no trademarket and material. They would have loved to trade 53 00:03:05,668 --> 00:03:08,108 Speaker 1: him in March, he had shoulder surgery. They were not 54 00:03:08,228 --> 00:03:10,828 Speaker 1: able to do that. They still might actually be able 55 00:03:10,868 --> 00:03:13,148 Speaker 1: to trade him at some point this season because they 56 00:03:13,188 --> 00:03:16,228 Speaker 1: cut his salary down six point five million dollars fully 57 00:03:16,228 --> 00:03:19,508 Speaker 1: guaranteed he gets nearly ten million dollars in incentives if 58 00:03:19,548 --> 00:03:22,388 Speaker 1: he starts and wins based on a per game basis, 59 00:03:22,548 --> 00:03:24,868 Speaker 1: So if he is in there, he gets rewarded. But 60 00:03:24,908 --> 00:03:27,228 Speaker 1: this basically allows them to hold on to him and 61 00:03:27,388 --> 00:03:30,588 Speaker 1: maybe trade him later this season. What this also does 62 00:03:31,068 --> 00:03:34,108 Speaker 1: is give them some insurance in case Trey Lance either 63 00:03:34,148 --> 00:03:36,708 Speaker 1: gets injured or simply if he's not what you want. 64 00:03:36,748 --> 00:03:38,508 Speaker 1: He's been a little up and down. I think it's 65 00:03:38,508 --> 00:03:40,748 Speaker 1: fair to say in training camp. Meanwhile, Jimmy Garoppolo has 66 00:03:40,788 --> 00:03:43,188 Speaker 1: been off to the side working on the rehab field, 67 00:03:43,628 --> 00:03:46,148 Speaker 1: getting his arm in shape. He's now in shape, he 68 00:03:46,348 --> 00:03:48,548 Speaker 1: is healthy. He hasn't been the meetings, he hasn't had 69 00:03:48,588 --> 00:03:50,788 Speaker 1: the playbook. Everyone assumed he was not going to be 70 00:03:50,868 --> 00:03:54,548 Speaker 1: on the team. Welcome back, Jimmy Garoppolo, now back with 71 00:03:54,588 --> 00:03:57,388 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers on a redune deal their new 72 00:03:57,428 --> 00:04:01,988 Speaker 1: backup quarterback. Yeah, Ian, there were so many different options 73 00:04:01,988 --> 00:04:04,188 Speaker 1: that this could have taken on. As we watched Jimmy 74 00:04:04,468 --> 00:04:08,668 Speaker 1: blow unfold, the scenario unfold frame. Excuse me, you've clamped 75 00:04:08,668 --> 00:04:11,988 Speaker 1: about Jimmy an emotional thing. We've been through a lot emotion. 76 00:04:13,108 --> 00:04:16,788 Speaker 1: You get it, you get it into emotional We exactly, 77 00:04:16,908 --> 00:04:19,188 Speaker 1: we have we have finally found the solution. And it's 78 00:04:19,188 --> 00:04:21,428 Speaker 1: not really an answer that any of us. It is 79 00:04:21,508 --> 00:04:24,788 Speaker 1: seven h four, am, I know exactly. Let's have some water. Um, Peter, 80 00:04:24,868 --> 00:04:27,028 Speaker 1: what do you think about how this as unfolded for 81 00:04:27,108 --> 00:04:30,228 Speaker 1: Jimmy Er saw it coming either, Jamie, I think truly. 82 00:04:30,468 --> 00:04:32,668 Speaker 1: H Two weeks ago, Peter King wrote in his article 83 00:04:32,828 --> 00:04:34,828 Speaker 1: in A Football Morning in America that like, this guy's 84 00:04:34,868 --> 00:04:37,548 Speaker 1: not in meeting rooms. He hasn't really dealt with Brian Greasy. 85 00:04:37,868 --> 00:04:40,508 Speaker 1: He doesn't have the playbook. Um, and here we are 86 00:04:40,548 --> 00:04:43,668 Speaker 1: and there, to to Ian's point, here's the playbook. Learn 87 00:04:43,748 --> 00:04:45,988 Speaker 1: the offense. Because it is a new offense, and we 88 00:04:46,028 --> 00:04:48,148 Speaker 1: do have a new quarterbacks coach, and you are the 89 00:04:48,188 --> 00:04:52,028 Speaker 1: backup on August thirtieth, it's a win win. If you 90 00:04:52,108 --> 00:04:54,108 Speaker 1: were to ask the Niners in March if this was 91 00:04:54,148 --> 00:04:56,028 Speaker 1: the ideal scenario, they would tell you hell no. If 92 00:04:56,028 --> 00:04:57,868 Speaker 1: you were to ask the Niners a month ago, is 93 00:04:57,868 --> 00:05:00,588 Speaker 1: this the ideal scenario, they'd say no. Um. But when 94 00:05:00,588 --> 00:05:02,508 Speaker 1: you look at these contracts, and let's take a look 95 00:05:02,508 --> 00:05:06,068 Speaker 1: at what they got Jimmy g to agree with here, gosh, 96 00:05:06,148 --> 00:05:09,068 Speaker 1: it's a lot more palatable and it's sure is easy 97 00:05:09,108 --> 00:05:11,468 Speaker 1: to take when it's one year, six point five million 98 00:05:11,508 --> 00:05:14,148 Speaker 1: with a ton of incentives as opposed to a twenty 99 00:05:14,188 --> 00:05:20,348 Speaker 1: four million dollars albatross going into September. Here's my incident analysis. One, 100 00:05:20,348 --> 00:05:22,188 Speaker 1: you've got to be a rare type of person to 101 00:05:22,228 --> 00:05:24,508 Speaker 1: be able to accept that kind of pay cut and say, yeah, 102 00:05:24,508 --> 00:05:28,868 Speaker 1: I'll be the backup that's Jimmy Garoppolo. Two, the price 103 00:05:28,868 --> 00:05:30,988 Speaker 1: for Jimmy's going to go up no matter what, because 104 00:05:31,028 --> 00:05:34,788 Speaker 1: now he is at this salary number where you could 105 00:05:34,788 --> 00:05:36,468 Speaker 1: actually trade for him, and players are going to get 106 00:05:36,468 --> 00:05:39,428 Speaker 1: injured throughout the season, so a team's gonna lose their quarterback. 107 00:05:39,868 --> 00:05:41,548 Speaker 1: So the Niners can now say, hey, would you like 108 00:05:41,588 --> 00:05:43,588 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo at six and a half million dollars as 109 00:05:43,588 --> 00:05:46,708 Speaker 1: opposed to joy Jimmy Garoppolo at twenty four million dollars. 110 00:05:46,788 --> 00:05:49,308 Speaker 1: Don't get a twisted he is still a tradeable asset. 111 00:05:49,588 --> 00:05:51,508 Speaker 1: And yes he's got a no trade cause, but that 112 00:05:51,588 --> 00:05:53,748 Speaker 1: means he can only approve or disappear. It doesn't mean 113 00:05:53,788 --> 00:05:56,988 Speaker 1: they can't make a deal for him. Backup quarterback is 114 00:05:56,988 --> 00:05:59,268 Speaker 1: going to be an enormous situation for the forty nine ers, 115 00:05:59,308 --> 00:06:01,228 Speaker 1: and I just don't know if Sunfield was the guy 116 00:06:01,428 --> 00:06:03,868 Speaker 1: in San Francisco, they know they've got a championship roster 117 00:06:03,948 --> 00:06:06,148 Speaker 1: in quarter as the question mark. Then they got Jimmy. 118 00:06:06,148 --> 00:06:08,348 Speaker 1: They know they can win with Jimmy. And lastly, if 119 00:06:08,468 --> 00:06:11,588 Speaker 1: Jimmy does well and leaves and goes elsewhere, they get 120 00:06:11,588 --> 00:06:13,708 Speaker 1: something called a compensatory pick. At the end of this thing. 121 00:06:13,748 --> 00:06:15,788 Speaker 1: Next year they're gonna get a third round pick. There 122 00:06:15,908 --> 00:06:18,628 Speaker 1: was no third round pick on the table by any 123 00:06:18,668 --> 00:06:21,828 Speaker 1: team for Jimmy Garoppolo. It seems like a win win. 124 00:06:22,508 --> 00:06:25,908 Speaker 1: The major what if is what if Trey thinks and 125 00:06:26,028 --> 00:06:27,788 Speaker 1: Jimmy has to play the whole way? And what does 126 00:06:27,828 --> 00:06:29,868 Speaker 1: that do for our team? Because I promise you this, 127 00:06:30,348 --> 00:06:32,068 Speaker 1: if you had told the Niners when they traded two 128 00:06:32,108 --> 00:06:34,308 Speaker 1: first round picks for Trey Lance that Jimmy Garoppolo would 129 00:06:34,308 --> 00:06:36,628 Speaker 1: still be on the roster, they would say, that's the absolute, 130 00:06:36,868 --> 00:06:39,388 Speaker 1: not ideal scenario for what we're looking for. I like 131 00:06:39,428 --> 00:06:42,508 Speaker 1: the said feld point. I like the compensatory pick. I 132 00:06:42,588 --> 00:06:46,268 Speaker 1: like the finances. This is weird, this is strange, and 133 00:06:46,308 --> 00:06:49,108 Speaker 1: it feels a lot like two parents staying together for 134 00:06:49,108 --> 00:06:51,668 Speaker 1: the kids. Like I don't know if the motivation is there. 135 00:06:52,148 --> 00:06:54,188 Speaker 1: I actually really like a lot of the practical reasons 136 00:06:54,188 --> 00:06:55,588 Speaker 1: of this. They make sense, and I like that the 137 00:06:55,668 --> 00:06:57,868 Speaker 1: Niners are doing something different. There's something different in this 138 00:06:57,908 --> 00:06:59,828 Speaker 1: year's NFL, Like you got to be bold. They have 139 00:06:59,868 --> 00:07:02,348 Speaker 1: the best backup quarterback, they got this emergency plan, they 140 00:07:02,468 --> 00:07:06,988 Speaker 1: for cheap. All that practical stuff is up till they 141 00:07:07,068 --> 00:07:09,468 Speaker 1: played the Bears in the opener and Lance throws three 142 00:07:09,508 --> 00:07:12,508 Speaker 1: interceptions and they lose to the Bears. Okay, all right, 143 00:07:12,548 --> 00:07:15,268 Speaker 1: well that's one loss, and then you start the season 144 00:07:15,308 --> 00:07:17,268 Speaker 1: one and three and Lance is just kind of a mess. 145 00:07:17,388 --> 00:07:19,748 Speaker 1: Maybe do no small part that there's a better quarterback 146 00:07:19,788 --> 00:07:23,388 Speaker 1: who's backing them up. Then you got sinking ships. And 147 00:07:23,428 --> 00:07:25,588 Speaker 1: then let's say it's the nightmare scenario. It's just the 148 00:07:25,788 --> 00:07:27,828 Speaker 1: nightmare that Lance is a mess and doesn't have it 149 00:07:28,068 --> 00:07:30,308 Speaker 1: and costles enough of us to put Jimmy in. And 150 00:07:30,308 --> 00:07:32,868 Speaker 1: then Jimmy's gonna be good because Jimmy's good, and Jimmy's 151 00:07:32,908 --> 00:07:35,028 Speaker 1: gonna win, and Jimmy's gonna go and then they're probably 152 00:07:35,028 --> 00:07:36,788 Speaker 1: gonna get to the playoffs, and then where are you? 153 00:07:36,828 --> 00:07:38,548 Speaker 1: And then where are you right when Jimmy gets hurt, 154 00:07:38,548 --> 00:07:40,148 Speaker 1: which you probably will at the end of the season. 155 00:07:40,228 --> 00:07:42,908 Speaker 1: There's so many things that are so combustible about this. 156 00:07:43,428 --> 00:07:45,828 Speaker 1: There's a few things that will break a team fast, 157 00:07:46,268 --> 00:07:49,268 Speaker 1: and that is when the best quarterback is not starting, 158 00:07:49,388 --> 00:07:51,508 Speaker 1: and it's obvious and you cannot tell me there are 159 00:07:51,508 --> 00:07:53,268 Speaker 1: not Jimmy guys in that locker room. They all say 160 00:07:53,268 --> 00:07:55,188 Speaker 1: the right thing. They say, Tray this, Tray that they're 161 00:07:55,268 --> 00:07:58,708 Speaker 1: Jimmy guys. I remember the Philadelphia Eagles building a shrine 162 00:07:59,108 --> 00:08:01,908 Speaker 1: for Nick Foles even though Carson Wentz was starting, and 163 00:08:01,988 --> 00:08:03,948 Speaker 1: that got real weird and we see what happened to 164 00:08:04,028 --> 00:08:07,468 Speaker 1: Carson after that. If Tray can play, we're good baby. 165 00:08:07,588 --> 00:08:09,748 Speaker 1: Just get him out there, start winning. Jimmy comes in 166 00:08:09,828 --> 00:08:11,268 Speaker 1: maybe if you need to at the end of the year. 167 00:08:11,308 --> 00:08:15,068 Speaker 1: But Trey Tys gotta go. And the biggest most important 168 00:08:15,108 --> 00:08:17,188 Speaker 1: thing for the San Francisco for a NaN's organization by far, 169 00:08:17,348 --> 00:08:19,868 Speaker 1: never mind Jimmy, never mind Kyle. Trey Lance has to 170 00:08:19,868 --> 00:08:21,788 Speaker 1: be a good player. They what they spent for him 171 00:08:21,788 --> 00:08:23,588 Speaker 1: and what they have invested in him. I don't know 172 00:08:23,628 --> 00:08:25,228 Speaker 1: if this serves Trey Lance. Will We'll find out a 173 00:08:25,228 --> 00:08:27,148 Speaker 1: lot about how he's made up between the ears, because 174 00:08:27,188 --> 00:08:29,868 Speaker 1: this would pull my chair out if that guy's still 175 00:08:29,868 --> 00:08:32,308 Speaker 1: here and he's sitting there talking in meetings. I don't 176 00:08:32,348 --> 00:08:36,588 Speaker 1: love it. The practical reasons great, the emotional reasons are complicated. Yeah, 177 00:08:36,668 --> 00:08:39,748 Speaker 1: and you hit on it. Credit to Jimmy Garovla. Sure, 178 00:08:40,108 --> 00:08:42,668 Speaker 1: in today's world, we look at athletes and we say, oh, 179 00:08:42,708 --> 00:08:45,268 Speaker 1: they're greedy, guys just want the money. Just that. In 180 00:08:45,348 --> 00:08:47,428 Speaker 1: the third this guy just wants to be a part 181 00:08:47,468 --> 00:08:49,868 Speaker 1: of the team. He wants to be able to practice, 182 00:08:49,908 --> 00:08:52,068 Speaker 1: he wants to be able to show up to meetings. 183 00:08:52,188 --> 00:08:55,268 Speaker 1: So he's taking a significant pay cut just to be 184 00:08:55,348 --> 00:08:58,268 Speaker 1: on this team and to back up Trey Lance after 185 00:08:58,548 --> 00:09:01,388 Speaker 1: he just was in the conference championship game a few 186 00:09:01,508 --> 00:09:04,988 Speaker 1: years ago, he just was the Super Bowl and as 187 00:09:05,028 --> 00:09:07,428 Speaker 1: not as if he was beat out, and all right, 188 00:09:07,508 --> 00:09:10,508 Speaker 1: we went to training camp, we compete it Trey Lance one. 189 00:09:10,628 --> 00:09:12,748 Speaker 1: So you know what, I'll take less money. I want 190 00:09:12,748 --> 00:09:15,468 Speaker 1: to remain. I'll be as backup. No, you just handed 191 00:09:15,548 --> 00:09:17,908 Speaker 1: him the job and forced me to do this. And 192 00:09:18,068 --> 00:09:20,748 Speaker 1: I'm giving him credit because if I'm in his position, 193 00:09:20,988 --> 00:09:22,708 Speaker 1: I don't know. If I don't force the forty nine 194 00:09:22,788 --> 00:09:24,788 Speaker 1: ers hand, I don't know if I'm taking less. You 195 00:09:24,828 --> 00:09:26,188 Speaker 1: know what, if you don't want to pay me to 196 00:09:26,228 --> 00:09:29,308 Speaker 1: twenty four million dollars release me. I'll figure out my 197 00:09:29,388 --> 00:09:32,348 Speaker 1: next destination. And maybe this has something to do with 198 00:09:32,388 --> 00:09:35,188 Speaker 1: his health. You are taking the words out of my 199 00:09:35,228 --> 00:09:38,268 Speaker 1: mouth because that is the only way that question goes 200 00:09:38,308 --> 00:09:40,428 Speaker 1: for me. Is why did he do this? And if 201 00:09:40,468 --> 00:09:42,988 Speaker 1: he isn't he's a good guy. He's a consummate pro. 202 00:09:43,108 --> 00:09:45,308 Speaker 1: That's what we've seen unfold over the last four months. 203 00:09:45,668 --> 00:09:48,548 Speaker 1: So why does he need more time? Does he need 204 00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:50,708 Speaker 1: to it's not a cover up, but does he need 205 00:09:50,988 --> 00:09:54,308 Speaker 1: a safe space to get healthy, get right? And if 206 00:09:54,348 --> 00:09:56,868 Speaker 1: he does, if he needs to be called upon. Let's 207 00:09:56,868 --> 00:09:58,588 Speaker 1: just say Trey Lance is going to have plenty of 208 00:09:58,588 --> 00:10:01,708 Speaker 1: wiggle room here to sink or swim. Let's say five 209 00:10:01,908 --> 00:10:04,828 Speaker 1: six weeks. Jimmy Garoppolo might be looking at this and saying, 210 00:10:04,868 --> 00:10:07,188 Speaker 1: I can't go anywhere else right now. I'm just not 211 00:10:07,388 --> 00:10:09,988 Speaker 1: right yet with my shoulder. But if five or six 212 00:10:10,028 --> 00:10:12,628 Speaker 1: weeks is the alleged window that they're going to give 213 00:10:12,668 --> 00:10:15,268 Speaker 1: Trey Lance, because they have to, like this is not 214 00:10:15,308 --> 00:10:17,308 Speaker 1: a three week job, like this is, you're going to 215 00:10:17,388 --> 00:10:20,068 Speaker 1: really be looking down at six weeks and thinking, is 216 00:10:20,148 --> 00:10:21,908 Speaker 1: Jimmy g all of a sudden, is that what we're 217 00:10:21,948 --> 00:10:24,268 Speaker 1: hearing from forty nine Ers fans, and that might just 218 00:10:24,308 --> 00:10:26,068 Speaker 1: be enough time that he needs for his shoulder to 219 00:10:26,068 --> 00:10:30,148 Speaker 1: get right. Furthermore, it does so imply to me that 220 00:10:30,428 --> 00:10:32,588 Speaker 1: in the off season this was never what the forty 221 00:10:32,668 --> 00:10:35,308 Speaker 1: nine Ers went like, Why would Kyle Shanahan have that 222 00:10:35,348 --> 00:10:39,988 Speaker 1: weird quote? He's our fourth quarterback on the roster. Lingering 223 00:10:40,028 --> 00:10:42,668 Speaker 1: around on the depth chart is so weird. The handling 224 00:10:42,708 --> 00:10:44,708 Speaker 1: of this has just been so odd to me. That's 225 00:10:44,788 --> 00:10:47,548 Speaker 1: further credit to Jimmy Garoppolo for hanging in there. Things 226 00:10:47,588 --> 00:10:49,948 Speaker 1: have been said about him, John lynch Is on Thursday 227 00:10:50,028 --> 00:10:52,188 Speaker 1: Night Football talking about like we would take a great 228 00:10:52,228 --> 00:10:54,428 Speaker 1: offer if it came to us, and yet he still 229 00:10:54,468 --> 00:10:57,708 Speaker 1: does this. This is incredible. My last point is that 230 00:10:58,068 --> 00:11:01,228 Speaker 1: I think about the best case scenario for these two parties, 231 00:11:01,428 --> 00:11:03,388 Speaker 1: and essentially it is the forty nine Ers win a 232 00:11:03,428 --> 00:11:05,588 Speaker 1: Super Bowl and it's with one of these two guys. 233 00:11:05,708 --> 00:11:08,228 Speaker 1: And if it's trailance, then that's great. Then Kyle Shanahan 234 00:11:08,268 --> 00:11:10,708 Speaker 1: meet the right decision. If it's with Jimmy Groppolo, he's 235 00:11:10,708 --> 00:11:13,388 Speaker 1: about to get paid. He's just won a Super Bowl 236 00:11:13,548 --> 00:11:17,268 Speaker 1: in an unforeseen circumstance with a team that is wildly talented, 237 00:11:17,428 --> 00:11:18,868 Speaker 1: and then he gets to go off into the free 238 00:11:18,868 --> 00:11:21,828 Speaker 1: agent market and be like, let's go, I finally get mine. 239 00:11:22,228 --> 00:11:24,028 Speaker 1: That's the only way I try to put a positive 240 00:11:24,028 --> 00:11:26,068 Speaker 1: spin on And in that scenario, it would have meant 241 00:11:26,068 --> 00:11:27,948 Speaker 1: that he'd played the games where he's still gonna make 242 00:11:27,988 --> 00:11:31,748 Speaker 1: sixteen millions, yes, and like those incentives are huge. I 243 00:11:31,828 --> 00:11:34,348 Speaker 1: think in Jimmy's head, and I'm not speaking on behalf 244 00:11:34,348 --> 00:11:36,548 Speaker 1: of Jimmy, but I think in Jimmy's head, he's not 245 00:11:36,548 --> 00:11:38,268 Speaker 1: doing this unless he thinks he's getting on the field. 246 00:11:38,668 --> 00:11:40,668 Speaker 1: He's not signing this for six and a half minute. 247 00:11:40,908 --> 00:11:42,588 Speaker 1: I think in his head it's like, all right, I'm 248 00:11:42,628 --> 00:11:44,188 Speaker 1: gonna make some bucks and I'll be a fragient at 249 00:11:44,188 --> 00:11:45,788 Speaker 1: the end of the year. I don't know if he's 250 00:11:45,788 --> 00:11:48,508 Speaker 1: doing the nine ers such an overall fit where he's saying, hey, 251 00:11:48,708 --> 00:11:51,268 Speaker 1: those incentives at ten million dollars in incentives, yeah, I 252 00:11:51,348 --> 00:11:54,348 Speaker 1: go earn those. Think with that as he's rehabbing for 253 00:11:54,428 --> 00:11:57,508 Speaker 1: a quarterback, you need receivers to throw to once you 254 00:11:57,588 --> 00:11:59,748 Speaker 1: leave the facility and you go and you maybe he's 255 00:11:59,788 --> 00:12:02,588 Speaker 1: a California kid wherever he'd be located and you're going 256 00:12:02,628 --> 00:12:05,228 Speaker 1: to a great rehab spot. Who the receivers you're going 257 00:12:05,308 --> 00:12:10,348 Speaker 1: to be thrown to? Everybody's in season, Well, there's got one, 258 00:12:10,628 --> 00:12:13,508 Speaker 1: you know, he's he's on tender like swiping front receivers. 259 00:12:13,668 --> 00:12:17,828 Speaker 1: He's available. Let's saying, have the atmosphere to be able 260 00:12:17,828 --> 00:12:20,268 Speaker 1: to get your proper rehab, have guys that throw to 261 00:12:20,708 --> 00:12:23,188 Speaker 1: go out there and practice, and makes him more tradeable 262 00:12:23,188 --> 00:12:26,348 Speaker 1: and he gets to pick his own destination. Is he 263 00:12:26,428 --> 00:12:27,748 Speaker 1: the best guy in the world or did he have 264 00:12:27,788 --> 00:12:30,588 Speaker 1: no options? Like where is he going to go? I'm 265 00:12:30,628 --> 00:12:32,748 Speaker 1: still wondering. Absolutely, he was cut. I think a lot 266 00:12:32,788 --> 00:12:34,948 Speaker 1: of teams would have signed him. Yeah you do, yeah, 267 00:12:34,988 --> 00:12:36,708 Speaker 1: to be their starter, to be their backup. Well he 268 00:12:36,708 --> 00:12:38,148 Speaker 1: doesn't want to be a backup then, so you stay 269 00:12:38,148 --> 00:12:40,108 Speaker 1: home and backup. Now I know, but at least he's 270 00:12:40,108 --> 00:12:42,708 Speaker 1: in the same organization, isn't it. But everything like that, 271 00:12:42,788 --> 00:12:45,508 Speaker 1: Like I just I went through the league and I'm like, Okay, 272 00:12:45,588 --> 00:12:48,708 Speaker 1: let's say the the big quarterback injury does happen. Who's 273 00:12:48,708 --> 00:12:51,468 Speaker 1: the team he would immediately stay? Trade for Jimmy Garoppolo 274 00:12:51,468 --> 00:12:53,908 Speaker 1: to be our starting quarterback. No one really jumps out. 275 00:12:54,028 --> 00:12:56,188 Speaker 1: I think we overvalue him. A little bit, I really do. 276 00:13:00,028 --> 00:13:01,868 Speaker 1: We're gonna flip it back to the East Coast and 277 00:13:01,908 --> 00:13:05,028 Speaker 1: talk about one of Jimmy Garppolo's former team, the Patriots. 278 00:13:05,468 --> 00:13:07,588 Speaker 1: We'll see what moves are made in New England up 279 00:13:07,668 --> 00:13:10,348 Speaker 1: until the four pm deadline today, and in classic Bill 280 00:13:10,388 --> 00:13:12,388 Speaker 1: Belichick fashion, he spoke to the media and he told 281 00:13:12,468 --> 00:13:14,508 Speaker 1: us everything, everything he was going to do, the strength 282 00:13:14,548 --> 00:13:17,188 Speaker 1: of his roster, where he stood, all the decisions he 283 00:13:17,228 --> 00:13:19,228 Speaker 1: was going to make. He told us that is not true. 284 00:13:20,828 --> 00:13:22,708 Speaker 1: Oh thank You really know where your team is until 285 00:13:22,708 --> 00:13:26,068 Speaker 1: you get to about in mid season at October, play five, six, 286 00:13:26,108 --> 00:13:29,468 Speaker 1: seven games, match up against some different teams, see for 287 00:13:29,548 --> 00:13:33,228 Speaker 1: real what your strengths and weaknesses are, and your opponents 288 00:13:33,228 --> 00:13:36,028 Speaker 1: as well, so you know what it looks like on 289 00:13:36,028 --> 00:13:38,508 Speaker 1: paper and what it is in preseason and what is 290 00:13:38,508 --> 00:13:41,388 Speaker 1: in the regular season. I don't think they're all the same, 291 00:13:44,308 --> 00:13:46,548 Speaker 1: all right. So Bill Belichick is still trying to figure 292 00:13:46,548 --> 00:13:48,908 Speaker 1: out what his team looks like on paper, how it 293 00:13:48,948 --> 00:13:51,028 Speaker 1: translates to the field, and how it will go forth 294 00:13:51,068 --> 00:13:53,548 Speaker 1: this season. In twelve days, though, his Patriots will be 295 00:13:53,588 --> 00:13:56,908 Speaker 1: down in Miami to start their regular seasons. So which 296 00:13:56,908 --> 00:13:59,428 Speaker 1: team do we think has more question? Marks as we 297 00:13:59,468 --> 00:14:02,268 Speaker 1: had barrelled towards that week one. Yeah, the Pats or 298 00:14:02,308 --> 00:14:03,988 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, they play it. I mean it's crazy they 299 00:14:04,028 --> 00:14:06,108 Speaker 1: play that's really fun. And the Dolphins have had the 300 00:14:06,148 --> 00:14:09,308 Speaker 1: Patriots number the last few years. So you start going 301 00:14:09,308 --> 00:14:13,428 Speaker 1: through these teams and I look at the rosters. Who's 302 00:14:13,468 --> 00:14:15,708 Speaker 1: new England suiting up at some of these positions? There 303 00:14:15,708 --> 00:14:17,868 Speaker 1: are some real question marks. They spent a ton of 304 00:14:17,868 --> 00:14:20,708 Speaker 1: money two years ago in free agency on offense. They 305 00:14:20,788 --> 00:14:23,828 Speaker 1: drafted all these players, like Jason mccorda, you are a 306 00:14:23,828 --> 00:14:27,628 Speaker 1: former Patriots defensive back, can you name that cornerback room? 307 00:14:27,668 --> 00:14:29,948 Speaker 1: We know your brothers playing safety, but like, look at 308 00:14:29,948 --> 00:14:32,468 Speaker 1: this corner's room right here in the depth chart, and 309 00:14:32,828 --> 00:14:35,468 Speaker 1: I take a look at these names. Who is your one, 310 00:14:36,348 --> 00:14:40,468 Speaker 1: who's your two? Who is your nickel? Like Sean Wade 311 00:14:40,508 --> 00:14:42,348 Speaker 1: is a great story and what he's been through from 312 00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:44,428 Speaker 1: our side to the Ravens, So there's like, is he 313 00:14:44,468 --> 00:14:46,708 Speaker 1: going to play a big roll? Is Miles Bryant going 314 00:14:46,748 --> 00:14:50,828 Speaker 1: to These are not household names. Patrick Chung is not 315 00:14:50,948 --> 00:14:54,748 Speaker 1: in that room, but J. C. Jackson is not in 316 00:14:54,788 --> 00:14:56,988 Speaker 1: that room. There are a lot of names that we 317 00:14:57,068 --> 00:15:00,148 Speaker 1: are familiar with. They're not there when Malcolm Butler went down. 318 00:15:00,228 --> 00:15:02,228 Speaker 1: There's a cool reunion story, but he's down for the year. 319 00:15:03,828 --> 00:15:06,028 Speaker 1: We focus so much on Joe, Judge and Patricia we 320 00:15:06,028 --> 00:15:07,828 Speaker 1: can go dizzy with all the talk we do about 321 00:15:07,868 --> 00:15:09,948 Speaker 1: the offense. I don't know if the defense is going 322 00:15:09,948 --> 00:15:12,028 Speaker 1: to be good this year. That is a slight to 323 00:15:12,068 --> 00:15:14,588 Speaker 1: your brother. That is a slight to Bill Belichick, whose 324 00:15:14,588 --> 00:15:16,908 Speaker 1: bread and butter is working it out and figuring it 325 00:15:16,948 --> 00:15:19,508 Speaker 1: out with the Jimmies and Joe's and I'll take care 326 00:15:19,508 --> 00:15:22,948 Speaker 1: of the XS and hose. I don't think the defense 327 00:15:23,068 --> 00:15:25,468 Speaker 1: is necessarily what it was a year ago, and especially 328 00:15:25,468 --> 00:15:29,468 Speaker 1: not two years ago when they were carrying that team. Jason, 329 00:15:29,508 --> 00:15:32,148 Speaker 1: I ask you, do you feel confident at that cornerback 330 00:15:32,188 --> 00:15:35,748 Speaker 1: position because the AFC is loaded at the wide receiver 331 00:15:35,828 --> 00:15:38,668 Speaker 1: position right now, and I don't know if New England 332 00:15:38,668 --> 00:15:43,348 Speaker 1: necessarily has the big guns to go against those wide receivers. 333 00:15:43,428 --> 00:15:45,708 Speaker 1: It's going to be different. I think the last few 334 00:15:45,788 --> 00:15:48,428 Speaker 1: years we saw Stefan Gilmour was the guy. He was 335 00:15:48,468 --> 00:15:52,028 Speaker 1: the number one guy, following your best receiver around. Gilly 336 00:15:52,148 --> 00:15:56,148 Speaker 1: moves on to Carolina and j C. Jackson following the 337 00:15:56,188 --> 00:15:58,788 Speaker 1: best receiver around and then Jaialen Mills was a guy 338 00:15:58,828 --> 00:16:01,188 Speaker 1: who had a really good season last year, but he 339 00:16:01,268 --> 00:16:04,308 Speaker 1: now steps into that number one role. So he's been 340 00:16:04,508 --> 00:16:06,748 Speaker 1: playing really well in training camp, but at the same time, 341 00:16:06,948 --> 00:16:09,868 Speaker 1: he hasn't manned that position where he's following guys around, 342 00:16:09,908 --> 00:16:13,428 Speaker 1: shutting down number one receivers. Jonathan Jones is a guy 343 00:16:13,468 --> 00:16:15,988 Speaker 1: who's been in the slot a lot. When you watched 344 00:16:16,028 --> 00:16:18,188 Speaker 1: him verse the Raiders, he was a guy that now 345 00:16:18,348 --> 00:16:21,068 Speaker 1: has moved to the outside, so he has that position 346 00:16:21,268 --> 00:16:24,028 Speaker 1: Versatility's played some safety, but this is a whole new 347 00:16:24,068 --> 00:16:27,428 Speaker 1: ball game for him, not being inside where he's comfortable, 348 00:16:27,468 --> 00:16:30,068 Speaker 1: where he's naturally been over the last several years, really 349 00:16:30,108 --> 00:16:32,628 Speaker 1: his entire career. He talked about Malcolm Butler, he was 350 00:16:32,668 --> 00:16:35,988 Speaker 1: a guy who they released. They felt confident in this bunch. 351 00:16:36,228 --> 00:16:39,148 Speaker 1: Myles Bryant as a guy who's came in there. We 352 00:16:39,228 --> 00:16:41,868 Speaker 1: used to call him it for Isaiah Thomas, the little 353 00:16:41,908 --> 00:16:44,628 Speaker 1: guy coming in there, earned this spot, and he's performed 354 00:16:44,628 --> 00:16:47,508 Speaker 1: well playing some slot and some safety. Like you said, 355 00:16:47,588 --> 00:16:50,748 Speaker 1: there's a ton of question marks and Week one Jalen 356 00:16:50,828 --> 00:16:54,828 Speaker 1: Waddle Tyreek Hill like you're gonna get some of the 357 00:16:54,868 --> 00:16:58,028 Speaker 1: best receivers. You're going against week one of the season 358 00:16:58,308 --> 00:17:01,308 Speaker 1: with guys that are kind of untested. And I'm gonna 359 00:17:01,308 --> 00:17:03,068 Speaker 1: stay righty with the New England Patriots as far as 360 00:17:03,108 --> 00:17:05,708 Speaker 1: question marks, because for me, one of the strengths of 361 00:17:05,748 --> 00:17:09,588 Speaker 1: their team has been the offensive line, and they've struggled 362 00:17:09,588 --> 00:17:12,588 Speaker 1: this preseason. When you watched their game versus the Raiders, 363 00:17:12,788 --> 00:17:15,908 Speaker 1: you're seeing Mac get hit. He's rolling out the pocket. 364 00:17:16,148 --> 00:17:19,068 Speaker 1: He's just taking the hits that you haven't seen. And 365 00:17:19,108 --> 00:17:21,668 Speaker 1: when you really start to look at it, this Patriots 366 00:17:21,668 --> 00:17:24,388 Speaker 1: coaching staff, when it comes to the offensive line, has 367 00:17:24,468 --> 00:17:28,108 Speaker 1: gone through some shuffles. Dante Scarnekia, who is a legend, 368 00:17:28,348 --> 00:17:31,668 Speaker 1: and the coaching staffs and offensive line. He retired after 369 00:17:31,708 --> 00:17:34,908 Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen season. Cole Pabovitch takes over after that, 370 00:17:35,868 --> 00:17:39,108 Speaker 1: Carmen Brisillo, but then Cole's now coaching there last year 371 00:17:39,348 --> 00:17:43,428 Speaker 1: and Karms takes over. So now there's ms is gone, 372 00:17:43,668 --> 00:17:45,868 Speaker 1: he's now in Vegas with the Raiders. So now you 373 00:17:45,948 --> 00:17:48,588 Speaker 1: have Matt Patricia and Billy Yates taken over. So there's 374 00:17:48,628 --> 00:17:51,188 Speaker 1: a lot of different moving parts, especially for a unit 375 00:17:51,228 --> 00:17:53,188 Speaker 1: that's supposed to be the strength on their offense. There's 376 00:17:53,228 --> 00:17:56,868 Speaker 1: different moving parts, and there's definitely questions. For me, there's 377 00:17:56,948 --> 00:17:59,388 Speaker 1: nine answers to those questions. It's the nine ANFC titles 378 00:17:59,388 --> 00:18:01,708 Speaker 1: of Belichicka's one. I just come back to that because 379 00:18:02,308 --> 00:18:04,468 Speaker 1: with respect to the old line in the cornerback or 380 00:18:04,548 --> 00:18:07,268 Speaker 1: I look at Miami and it's it's the big dogs. 381 00:18:07,748 --> 00:18:09,468 Speaker 1: Do we have a quarterback who can take us to 382 00:18:09,468 --> 00:18:12,108 Speaker 1: the playoffs? Is our wide receiver that we just paid 383 00:18:12,148 --> 00:18:13,508 Speaker 1: all the money for going to be the thing? Or 384 00:18:13,628 --> 00:18:15,668 Speaker 1: was he in a way a product of Mahomes? And 385 00:18:15,748 --> 00:18:17,388 Speaker 1: we have a head coach who was just plucked from 386 00:18:17,388 --> 00:18:19,628 Speaker 1: a Wes Anderson movie, Like does he know how to 387 00:18:19,708 --> 00:18:22,228 Speaker 1: do this thing? Is this more than like a witty quote? 388 00:18:22,508 --> 00:18:24,708 Speaker 1: Was he a product of Shanahan? Is this guy gonna 389 00:18:24,708 --> 00:18:26,668 Speaker 1: show up and be like, Wow, the Dolphins are four 390 00:18:26,708 --> 00:18:30,828 Speaker 1: and one? Mike McDaniel is for real? The Patriots questions, 391 00:18:30,868 --> 00:18:32,348 Speaker 1: we can always get into the weeds with them and 392 00:18:32,348 --> 00:18:35,068 Speaker 1: say is this thing ending? Is the is the end near? 393 00:18:35,628 --> 00:18:38,228 Speaker 1: We have headline questions for Miami. As long as that 394 00:18:38,308 --> 00:18:40,348 Speaker 1: guy's in New England. I have enough faith in him 395 00:18:40,348 --> 00:18:43,348 Speaker 1: that he'll handle his coordinator stuff or he'll do some 396 00:18:43,428 --> 00:18:47,228 Speaker 1: sort of crazy maybe rule skirting thing with his defensive back, 397 00:18:47,228 --> 00:18:50,108 Speaker 1: He'll figure it out. The Dolphins are like, is our coach, good? 398 00:18:50,188 --> 00:18:52,148 Speaker 1: Is our quarterback? Good? Is our star wide receiver good? 399 00:18:52,188 --> 00:18:53,988 Speaker 1: I have no idea those are the ones for me. 400 00:18:54,108 --> 00:18:55,988 Speaker 1: So they both have a lot. I just think, like 401 00:18:56,228 --> 00:18:59,388 Speaker 1: the Titanic, the whale, questions are stare with Miami. It's me. 402 00:18:59,788 --> 00:19:02,988 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick has always had all of the answers. I 403 00:19:02,988 --> 00:19:04,788 Speaker 1: would say most of the answers, but really it's all 404 00:19:04,788 --> 00:19:07,828 Speaker 1: of the answers. But have the questions become too many 405 00:19:08,028 --> 00:19:10,548 Speaker 1: for as many answers as Bill Belichick can provide. I 406 00:19:10,588 --> 00:19:12,068 Speaker 1: feel like this season is going to be one of 407 00:19:12,108 --> 00:19:15,268 Speaker 1: those that really confronts that is, how many solutions can 408 00:19:15,348 --> 00:19:18,668 Speaker 1: he really find to fill the holes in the dam? 409 00:19:19,028 --> 00:19:21,188 Speaker 1: And he's not out there though he has to try. 410 00:19:21,268 --> 00:19:23,148 Speaker 1: He has to drum those guys out there and say 411 00:19:23,268 --> 00:19:26,068 Speaker 1: I've set you up for success and here's what I 412 00:19:26,108 --> 00:19:28,388 Speaker 1: provided you. Now you have to go execute on the field. 413 00:19:28,508 --> 00:19:30,828 Speaker 1: And nothing was more apparent to me speaking about the 414 00:19:30,828 --> 00:19:34,428 Speaker 1: offensive line struggles this preseason than Mac Jones and everything 415 00:19:34,428 --> 00:19:36,428 Speaker 1: that was said about him and really how he handled 416 00:19:36,508 --> 00:19:39,108 Speaker 1: himself as the three weeks of preseason weighed on and 417 00:19:39,188 --> 00:19:42,748 Speaker 1: specifically what he said yesterday on radio station WEI up 418 00:19:42,748 --> 00:19:46,028 Speaker 1: in Boston. A lot of time it's I'm frustrated with 419 00:19:46,068 --> 00:19:49,148 Speaker 1: myself because I'm a perfectionist and I want things to 420 00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:52,348 Speaker 1: be perfect. But you know, once I get into the 421 00:19:52,428 --> 00:19:55,508 Speaker 1: kind of game mode, it's more about, all right, let 422 00:19:55,508 --> 00:19:57,428 Speaker 1: me just move on from it and wash it. And 423 00:19:57,428 --> 00:20:00,428 Speaker 1: it's more individual than anything. And if I'm going to 424 00:20:00,428 --> 00:20:03,228 Speaker 1: get frustrated other people, it's only to bring the best 425 00:20:03,268 --> 00:20:05,508 Speaker 1: out in them, and I would hope that they hold 426 00:20:05,508 --> 00:20:09,268 Speaker 1: me to the same standard. Now, this to me is 427 00:20:09,308 --> 00:20:14,108 Speaker 1: particularly fascinating because they worked they being Nick Saban and 428 00:20:14,148 --> 00:20:17,628 Speaker 1: Alabama worked with him on this at Alabama when he 429 00:20:17,668 --> 00:20:21,188 Speaker 1: would kind of flare his perfectionist points of his personality 430 00:20:21,188 --> 00:20:23,908 Speaker 1: and it would come out on the sideline in frustration 431 00:20:23,988 --> 00:20:27,148 Speaker 1: and emotion, they would work on it. Steve Sarkisian Tampa, down, man, 432 00:20:27,228 --> 00:20:29,588 Speaker 1: you got to move forward, look ahead. And it feels 433 00:20:29,588 --> 00:20:31,788 Speaker 1: like he's kind of getting back into bad habits, a 434 00:20:31,788 --> 00:20:33,988 Speaker 1: little bit of like focusing too much on what just 435 00:20:34,068 --> 00:20:37,388 Speaker 1: happened to him. And they gotta write this ship because 436 00:20:37,508 --> 00:20:40,348 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels is not there anymore, and I am seeing 437 00:20:40,388 --> 00:20:42,028 Speaker 1: a flip here, And to me, that's the only thing 438 00:20:42,028 --> 00:20:44,548 Speaker 1: that's changed is that McDaniels is not there to say, 439 00:20:44,708 --> 00:20:47,268 Speaker 1: look ahead, Mac, look ahead, This is not the problem. 440 00:20:47,308 --> 00:20:49,228 Speaker 1: It just happened to You gotta look ahead and keep 441 00:20:49,268 --> 00:20:51,908 Speaker 1: this team going, right. Who is the person that Mac 442 00:20:51,988 --> 00:20:53,868 Speaker 1: Jones is looking to. I keep coming back to that 443 00:20:54,228 --> 00:20:56,228 Speaker 1: on the sideline to make sure his head is in 444 00:20:56,268 --> 00:20:58,588 Speaker 1: the right place. There was another New England quarterback who 445 00:20:58,668 --> 00:21:01,748 Speaker 1: got pretty fiery on the sidelines too, Yeah, and kind 446 00:21:01,748 --> 00:21:02,908 Speaker 1: of gave you a piece of it and was a 447 00:21:02,948 --> 00:21:05,908 Speaker 1: bit of a perfectionist. Doubt about it. Quickly, Jason, are 448 00:21:05,908 --> 00:21:08,348 Speaker 1: we filling a segment in August saying oh, Patriots concerns 449 00:21:08,428 --> 00:21:10,388 Speaker 1: or is there really something to worry about going of 450 00:21:10,388 --> 00:21:12,828 Speaker 1: this year? I think without a doubt, like or something 451 00:21:12,828 --> 00:21:14,988 Speaker 1: he just talked about. Yeah, for sure, like, Okay, we 452 00:21:15,028 --> 00:21:18,508 Speaker 1: haven't talked about McDaniels not being there, or a Billy 453 00:21:18,588 --> 00:21:21,268 Speaker 1: old being there or Charlie Weiss like there is no 454 00:21:21,468 --> 00:21:24,188 Speaker 1: guy guy there, you know, So I definitely think, okay, 455 00:21:25,028 --> 00:21:27,108 Speaker 1: you know, I will say this to your Tom Brady point. Though, 456 00:21:27,108 --> 00:21:29,148 Speaker 1: it is like he was having those frustrations sometimes the 457 00:21:29,188 --> 00:21:31,068 Speaker 1: offensive line wasn't good, and those were some of his 458 00:21:31,148 --> 00:21:33,868 Speaker 1: more frustrating years, but he always had Josh mc not 459 00:21:33,948 --> 00:21:36,588 Speaker 1: always had Josh McDaniels, but he had consistency there. He 460 00:21:36,668 --> 00:21:38,788 Speaker 1: had his guy. And this is a huge chance for 461 00:21:38,868 --> 00:21:40,748 Speaker 1: Mac Tiwns at a very young time in his career. 462 00:21:44,748 --> 00:21:47,988 Speaker 1: Fifty six Jordan Brooks first round pick last year. It's 463 00:21:47,988 --> 00:21:50,268 Speaker 1: going to be playing like a superstar this year. It's 464 00:21:50,308 --> 00:21:52,628 Speaker 1: the player that showed up at the end of last 465 00:21:52,628 --> 00:21:56,908 Speaker 1: season was basically Terrell Owens reincarnated. I like a j Brown. 466 00:21:56,988 --> 00:21:59,548 Speaker 1: I'm going with a linebacker. I've been talking about him 467 00:21:59,548 --> 00:22:01,988 Speaker 1: all summer long. I think Devin White is going to 468 00:22:02,068 --> 00:22:05,148 Speaker 1: be the breakout player of twenty twenty. And we talked 469 00:22:05,148 --> 00:22:07,348 Speaker 1: about him all morning. We've talked about him all season. 470 00:22:07,588 --> 00:22:10,908 Speaker 1: I'd see huge things from Josh Okay number one for me, 471 00:22:12,828 --> 00:22:16,468 Speaker 1: Patty Baby, bring it out, wait for the bat mahomes 472 00:22:16,468 --> 00:22:19,628 Speaker 1: there to start. Tom Bali on the show yesterday. Compare 473 00:22:19,668 --> 00:22:21,708 Speaker 1: them the Brett for I'll take that. That's not a 474 00:22:21,708 --> 00:22:26,828 Speaker 1: bad comparison. He might be better. Oh I love showing 475 00:22:26,828 --> 00:22:29,868 Speaker 1: that clip. Pat on my back when out there that 476 00:22:29,948 --> 00:22:32,628 Speaker 1: year through fifty touchdowns, won an MVP Award, and people 477 00:22:32,628 --> 00:22:34,468 Speaker 1: are wondering, is he gonna be better than Alex Smith 478 00:22:34,468 --> 00:22:37,668 Speaker 1: in Kansas City's offense. He was every August on this 479 00:22:37,788 --> 00:22:40,788 Speaker 1: very show, in this very week at list the top 480 00:22:40,828 --> 00:22:44,108 Speaker 1: ten breakout players for this season. It's a so I 481 00:22:44,148 --> 00:22:46,908 Speaker 1: can try to look smart the next year. B is 482 00:22:46,908 --> 00:22:49,588 Speaker 1: to help your fantasy team and see to kind of 483 00:22:49,628 --> 00:22:52,988 Speaker 1: put your mind at ease over whether this young player 484 00:22:53,148 --> 00:22:56,308 Speaker 1: is developing. I'm starting off with number ten, and I'm 485 00:22:56,348 --> 00:22:59,268 Speaker 1: going to Philadelphia at a position where i know the 486 00:22:59,348 --> 00:23:02,428 Speaker 1: local sports radio is having a lot of calls about 487 00:23:02,508 --> 00:23:06,788 Speaker 1: right now. It's not QB one, it's the free safety 488 00:23:06,828 --> 00:23:11,988 Speaker 1: facis and in safety Marcus Epps. Marcus Epps has been 489 00:23:12,028 --> 00:23:15,148 Speaker 1: a standout at camp and has been a huge question 490 00:23:15,228 --> 00:23:17,828 Speaker 1: mark for Eagles fans saying, oh, how we're gonna win 491 00:23:17,868 --> 00:23:20,788 Speaker 1: with Marcus Epps at safety in his fifth year and 492 00:23:20,908 --> 00:23:24,668 Speaker 1: we don't know Marcus Epps is ready to make the leap. 493 00:23:25,028 --> 00:23:27,668 Speaker 1: Marcus Epps? Where is number twenty two? He's all over 494 00:23:27,708 --> 00:23:29,708 Speaker 1: the field last year in the second half of the season, 495 00:23:29,708 --> 00:23:32,908 Speaker 1: win called upon and in preseason in camp has been 496 00:23:32,948 --> 00:23:36,468 Speaker 1: showing out. He shouldn't be a question mark. If anything, 497 00:23:36,508 --> 00:23:39,268 Speaker 1: he should be an exclamation mark. And I believe he 498 00:23:39,388 --> 00:23:42,228 Speaker 1: is not going to be a week spot in this defense, 499 00:23:42,468 --> 00:23:46,908 Speaker 1: but actually a strength. Epps was with the Vikings, then 500 00:23:47,148 --> 00:23:49,748 Speaker 1: was let go, was on the practice squad of the Eagles, 501 00:23:49,788 --> 00:23:52,388 Speaker 1: moved his way all the way up and is finally 502 00:23:52,868 --> 00:23:58,508 Speaker 1: starting the season as the starting free safety in Philadelphia. 503 00:23:59,068 --> 00:24:00,908 Speaker 1: We're starting this list and you're like, oh, give me 504 00:24:00,948 --> 00:24:05,468 Speaker 1: the fantasy sleeper. I'm going safety the Eagles. Marcus Epps 505 00:24:05,468 --> 00:24:07,788 Speaker 1: rember that name. The Eagles are trying to make a 506 00:24:07,828 --> 00:24:09,468 Speaker 1: real run at this thing this year, not just in 507 00:24:09,508 --> 00:24:11,948 Speaker 1: the NFC East, but in the NFC, which is a 508 00:24:11,988 --> 00:24:15,548 Speaker 1: wide open conference. If they do make that run, they're 509 00:24:15,548 --> 00:24:17,708 Speaker 1: going to need big production out of this young man. 510 00:24:18,068 --> 00:24:20,628 Speaker 1: A sixth round pick from the Vikings out of Wyoming, 511 00:24:20,988 --> 00:24:24,988 Speaker 1: Josh Allen not the only star out of Wyoming. Marcus 512 00:24:24,988 --> 00:24:27,228 Speaker 1: E's looking to be that guy as well. Keep an 513 00:24:27,228 --> 00:24:30,348 Speaker 1: eye on him. Marcus Epps this season my breakout player 514 00:24:30,988 --> 00:24:34,468 Speaker 1: at the safety position. Number nine. Let's go to a 515 00:24:34,548 --> 00:24:36,868 Speaker 1: more familiar name and a team that a lot of 516 00:24:36,868 --> 00:24:40,428 Speaker 1: people have question marks as well. I've got Rondelle Moore 517 00:24:40,548 --> 00:24:44,188 Speaker 1: from the Arizona Cardinals, who make a huge leap in year. 518 00:24:44,308 --> 00:24:47,788 Speaker 1: Number to Rondale. If you remember last year was a 519 00:24:47,788 --> 00:24:50,348 Speaker 1: little bit off injured. It was an undersized guy coming 520 00:24:50,388 --> 00:24:53,788 Speaker 1: out of the draft. Made plays last year when called 521 00:24:53,868 --> 00:24:56,068 Speaker 1: upon against the Niners. Had this big one early in 522 00:24:56,108 --> 00:24:59,188 Speaker 1: the season, was rolling, got hurt, didn't do as much 523 00:24:59,188 --> 00:25:01,428 Speaker 1: towards the end of the year. People kind of forgot 524 00:25:01,468 --> 00:25:03,508 Speaker 1: about him. If you're drafting in a fantasy league right now, 525 00:25:03,788 --> 00:25:07,508 Speaker 1: consider Delore. Rondale Moore is going to play a huge 526 00:25:07,628 --> 00:25:10,828 Speaker 1: role in Cliff Kingsbury's offense. This is what he brings 527 00:25:10,868 --> 00:25:14,308 Speaker 1: to the table, constant option and does so at an 528 00:25:14,428 --> 00:25:18,028 Speaker 1: undersized player height. All right, he's not a six foot 529 00:25:18,028 --> 00:25:20,228 Speaker 1: four tower. That means he can also run the ball 530 00:25:20,228 --> 00:25:22,868 Speaker 1: out of the backfield, means he could also do things underneath. 531 00:25:23,308 --> 00:25:25,948 Speaker 1: Want you to see what position he's playing here in 532 00:25:25,988 --> 00:25:28,308 Speaker 1: this Cardinals offense. He's going to be filling in for 533 00:25:28,428 --> 00:25:31,268 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk. If you are a fantasy football draft and 534 00:25:31,348 --> 00:25:33,628 Speaker 1: you are not considering Ron Delmore, let me tell you 535 00:25:33,708 --> 00:25:37,508 Speaker 1: reconsider if you know my relationships within the Cardinals organization. 536 00:25:37,788 --> 00:25:40,188 Speaker 1: This doesn't come out of nowhere or as a dart 537 00:25:40,228 --> 00:25:43,268 Speaker 1: at the board. This is Ron Delmore's opportunity to fill 538 00:25:43,268 --> 00:25:46,468 Speaker 1: in for this one hundred and three targets, seventy seven 539 00:25:46,508 --> 00:25:50,988 Speaker 1: receptions nearly a thousand receiving yards. Rondale is gonna be 540 00:25:51,028 --> 00:25:53,228 Speaker 1: taking that role in the offense. They feel like he 541 00:25:53,268 --> 00:25:55,748 Speaker 1: can do that role on the offense, and oh yeah, 542 00:25:55,908 --> 00:25:57,988 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins isn't in there the first six weeks, and 543 00:25:58,068 --> 00:26:00,468 Speaker 1: oh yeah, aj Green's a different body type, he's not 544 00:26:00,508 --> 00:26:03,188 Speaker 1: going to be playing that position. Rondale Moore will. He's 545 00:26:03,188 --> 00:26:05,988 Speaker 1: gonna put up huge numbers, gonna have a huge responsibility. 546 00:26:06,148 --> 00:26:09,068 Speaker 1: And in year two in camp, he's healthy, looks the part, 547 00:26:09,148 --> 00:26:11,908 Speaker 1: and looks more than worthy of his second round draft 548 00:26:11,908 --> 00:26:14,708 Speaker 1: status last year. There's a number nine and number eight, 549 00:26:15,108 --> 00:26:17,508 Speaker 1: Marcus Epps, a guy you probably haven't heard much about, 550 00:26:17,548 --> 00:26:21,028 Speaker 1: and Rondel Moore, a guy you've been waiting on. Here 551 00:26:21,028 --> 00:26:23,428 Speaker 1: it is ten and number nine. Take a look right 552 00:26:23,468 --> 00:26:27,508 Speaker 1: there there they are, guys. What do you think fort 553 00:26:27,548 --> 00:26:31,228 Speaker 1: with Jason mccordy our safety in house? Marcus Epps, you're five? 554 00:26:31,308 --> 00:26:33,108 Speaker 1: Can he really step up and be the guy? I 555 00:26:33,148 --> 00:26:34,828 Speaker 1: was just about to say the first name you list 556 00:26:35,028 --> 00:26:38,028 Speaker 1: is a dB. I love it or not only that 557 00:26:38,148 --> 00:26:40,468 Speaker 1: he's there, but the way he had to come up. 558 00:26:40,508 --> 00:26:42,268 Speaker 1: They talked about him in the Eagles and they're just 559 00:26:42,268 --> 00:26:45,428 Speaker 1: like he earned his keep. He came in a practice squad, 560 00:26:45,468 --> 00:26:48,188 Speaker 1: has worked his way up, is becoming one of the leaders. 561 00:26:48,308 --> 00:26:50,748 Speaker 1: Where do you see Rondell More fitting in an office? 562 00:26:50,788 --> 00:26:52,628 Speaker 1: I know you said filing for Christian Kurt? Is he 563 00:26:52,668 --> 00:26:55,468 Speaker 1: an outside guy in the about this? He's an everything guy. 564 00:26:56,228 --> 00:26:57,988 Speaker 1: He's there. He's the new I mean, I don't want 565 00:26:57,988 --> 00:26:59,788 Speaker 1: to say everyone's a Deebo Samuel, but he's that X 566 00:26:59,828 --> 00:27:01,988 Speaker 1: factor guy. Get him the rocket, let's go, and they're 567 00:27:02,068 --> 00:27:05,308 Speaker 1: drawing up plays. I'm sorry, Marcus Epps fourth year guy, 568 00:27:05,388 --> 00:27:07,708 Speaker 1: not a fifth year guy. I apologize on that. Kyle, 569 00:27:07,748 --> 00:27:09,708 Speaker 1: your thoughts on quick clarification. We have to you know, 570 00:27:09,748 --> 00:27:11,548 Speaker 1: I have to ask if Marcus Epps not related to 571 00:27:11,588 --> 00:27:15,028 Speaker 1: Omar No or Mike or Mike and Mike. All right, 572 00:27:15,308 --> 00:27:18,828 Speaker 1: Peter the alumni, the alum of this list. You got 573 00:27:18,828 --> 00:27:21,388 Speaker 1: Mahomes and A J. Brown. Why did you feel so 574 00:27:21,468 --> 00:27:24,028 Speaker 1: strongly about Marcus Epps and Eagles safety to include him 575 00:27:24,028 --> 00:27:26,628 Speaker 1: on your list. Yeah, Jonathan Gannon's the defensive coordinator. His 576 00:27:26,908 --> 00:27:30,708 Speaker 1: expertise is defensive backfield. If Jonathan Gannon, who knows defensive 577 00:27:30,748 --> 00:27:33,148 Speaker 1: backs as well, is saying that this guy's worthy of 578 00:27:33,188 --> 00:27:35,068 Speaker 1: starting for a Super Bowl contender and we're don't need 579 00:27:35,108 --> 00:27:36,868 Speaker 1: to upgrade and we don't need to draft someone. We're 580 00:27:36,868 --> 00:27:39,868 Speaker 1: going with Marcus Epps and in camp, like the stories 581 00:27:39,908 --> 00:27:41,748 Speaker 1: you're hearing are that this is the guy not only 582 00:27:42,388 --> 00:27:44,228 Speaker 1: on the field, but in the locker room, in the 583 00:27:44,268 --> 00:27:45,908 Speaker 1: meeting room, like, this is a guy who's going to 584 00:27:45,908 --> 00:27:47,388 Speaker 1: step up this year and he's not going to be 585 00:27:47,388 --> 00:27:50,388 Speaker 1: Brian Dawkins, but he's going to be an important piece 586 00:27:50,428 --> 00:27:53,748 Speaker 1: to a defense that has high expectations loaded defensive backfield. 587 00:27:53,788 --> 00:27:56,068 Speaker 1: Up they're saying, Marcus Epps is are starting free safety. 588 00:27:56,108 --> 00:27:58,428 Speaker 1: They know something? Okay, man, for all the things that 589 00:27:58,468 --> 00:28:00,788 Speaker 1: we have had to talk about across the league, but really, 590 00:28:00,828 --> 00:28:02,868 Speaker 1: as a pertains to the Cardinals in the off season, 591 00:28:02,988 --> 00:28:04,908 Speaker 1: I never really thought about how you were going to 592 00:28:04,948 --> 00:28:07,308 Speaker 1: fill in for Christian Kirk's numbers. It's just not it's 593 00:28:07,348 --> 00:28:09,468 Speaker 1: not where my mind went when a Kyler Murray and 594 00:28:09,548 --> 00:28:13,628 Speaker 1: with DeAndre Hopkins being suspended. But like I didn't realize 595 00:28:13,628 --> 00:28:15,828 Speaker 1: I needed an answer to that question. And Rondo Morley 596 00:28:15,868 --> 00:28:18,268 Speaker 1: there you go. Yeah, and he's a special kid, Kyle. 597 00:28:18,268 --> 00:28:21,908 Speaker 1: We had him on the show pre draft of Guy Benches. 598 00:28:22,228 --> 00:28:24,948 Speaker 1: You know, four hundred pounds can do that and also 599 00:28:25,028 --> 00:28:27,748 Speaker 1: one of these players super strong, super fast, and you 600 00:28:27,748 --> 00:28:30,268 Speaker 1: look at him, it's electric Jamie. And I'll tell you 601 00:28:30,348 --> 00:28:32,148 Speaker 1: there was a glimpse of it in college at Purdue, 602 00:28:32,268 --> 00:28:34,148 Speaker 1: and then there was a glimpse of it last year. 603 00:28:34,988 --> 00:28:36,988 Speaker 1: Is this the year he puts it all together. I'm 604 00:28:37,028 --> 00:28:38,508 Speaker 1: gonna bank on it. I'm gonna say it's gonna be 605 00:28:38,508 --> 00:28:41,428 Speaker 1: a breakout player. And he is being drafted way lower 606 00:28:41,428 --> 00:28:43,588 Speaker 1: than where I see his numbers being in fantasy football 607 00:28:43,588 --> 00:28:45,508 Speaker 1: this year. Peter, do what you do and just give 608 00:28:45,548 --> 00:28:47,268 Speaker 1: that little twinkle in your eye and give us just 609 00:28:47,308 --> 00:28:49,748 Speaker 1: a taste of what's coming for one through eighth. In 610 00:28:49,828 --> 00:28:51,788 Speaker 1: this list, line through eight, we've got a lot of 611 00:28:51,868 --> 00:28:54,028 Speaker 1: names for some teams he might not expect. Usually it's 612 00:28:54,028 --> 00:28:56,148 Speaker 1: second and third year players, maybe even a rookie on 613 00:28:56,188 --> 00:28:58,708 Speaker 1: this one. But I feel pretty good with this list, 614 00:28:58,748 --> 00:29:00,148 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a lot of names he might 615 00:29:00,148 --> 00:29:02,628 Speaker 1: not be familiar with. Who will be household names at 616 00:29:02,628 --> 00:29:03,948 Speaker 1: the end of this. And are you going to having 617 00:29:03,988 --> 00:29:06,788 Speaker 1: him fat response like you did about Patrick Patty Baby? 618 00:29:07,228 --> 00:29:10,148 Speaker 1: There it is the homes Patty Baby. Just wait till 619 00:29:10,268 --> 00:29:13,148 Speaker 1: number one on this I'm certain a number one this 620 00:29:13,188 --> 00:29:18,388 Speaker 1: year it's going to be Jerseys sold baby, Baby, we 621 00:29:18,428 --> 00:29:32,548 Speaker 1: appreciate you.

Chatti and Drake, our next guest is one 627 00:30:11,188 --> 00:30:13,868 Speaker 1: of the best play by play broadcasters in the country. 628 00:30:13,908 --> 00:30:16,548 Speaker 1: He's covered the NFL for twenty five years for CBS, 629 00:30:16,628 --> 00:30:20,508 Speaker 1: the NBA, March Madness, Tennis, so much more. I've been 630 00:30:20,548 --> 00:30:23,188 Speaker 1: fortunate myself to work with him on March Madness, and 631 00:30:23,228 --> 00:30:25,588 Speaker 1: it's an absolute honor to welcome him to our breakfast 632 00:30:25,588 --> 00:30:28,148 Speaker 1: table and Good Morning Football. That's CBS NFL announcer I 633 00:30:28,228 --> 00:30:33,428 Speaker 1: and oh my Gotch I'm so thrilled to be here. 634 00:30:33,868 --> 00:30:36,548 Speaker 1: I should mention I was told I was booked on 635 00:30:36,548 --> 00:30:39,588 Speaker 1: the Drew Barrymore Show, so I will adjust my material. 636 00:30:40,348 --> 00:30:43,348 Speaker 1: It's still going to be a really good seton No. No, 637 00:30:43,388 --> 00:30:45,388 Speaker 1: It's okay actually, because the first two questions I have 638 00:30:45,388 --> 00:30:47,108 Speaker 1: have nothing to do with football, so just keep it, 639 00:30:47,268 --> 00:30:49,788 Speaker 1: keep it right there. We're a morning show similar to 640 00:30:49,868 --> 00:30:53,508 Speaker 1: Drew and my script tells me to ask you how 641 00:30:53,628 --> 00:30:55,948 Speaker 1: you don't drink coffee. But there is more to that, 642 00:30:56,068 --> 00:30:58,388 Speaker 1: my friend. I need you to not only admit that 643 00:30:58,428 --> 00:31:00,468 Speaker 1: indeed you are a non coffee drinker, but there are 644 00:31:00,508 --> 00:31:02,348 Speaker 1: more things in your life that you do not please 645 00:31:02,388 --> 00:31:05,988 Speaker 1: inform the public. Yeah, I've never had a sip of coffee, 646 00:31:06,028 --> 00:31:09,388 Speaker 1: So that's a real thing. And it's rough days like 647 00:31:09,508 --> 00:31:11,748 Speaker 1: this because I knew I was coming on the show, 648 00:31:12,188 --> 00:31:14,188 Speaker 1: and I wanted to simulate what it would be like 649 00:31:14,388 --> 00:31:17,388 Speaker 1: to be one of the hosts. So I set my 650 00:31:17,428 --> 00:31:21,308 Speaker 1: alarm for four am, and then I went back to 651 00:31:21,348 --> 00:31:24,028 Speaker 1: bed because I said, this is just really a silly 652 00:31:24,868 --> 00:31:27,908 Speaker 1: Why would anybody do this in their life? No, I 653 00:31:27,948 --> 00:31:33,948 Speaker 1: never had coffee, never had condiments, never had a peach. 654 00:31:34,348 --> 00:31:39,268 Speaker 1: I mean, there are so many random foods. Salad, salad. 655 00:31:39,468 --> 00:31:42,748 Speaker 1: You never had salad, never had salad. I don't believe 656 00:31:42,788 --> 00:31:46,188 Speaker 1: in roughly. No, No, I think I think it's a fat. 657 00:31:46,388 --> 00:31:48,428 Speaker 1: I think it's going to dinner with him because he's 658 00:31:48,468 --> 00:31:51,428 Speaker 1: just like I need a chicken breast with mashed potatoes. 659 00:31:51,788 --> 00:31:54,428 Speaker 1: And a pepsi. Speaking of it, there was one warning 660 00:31:54,948 --> 00:31:57,268 Speaker 1: where you were at a production meeting in Foxboro. You 661 00:31:57,268 --> 00:31:59,908 Speaker 1: had your pepsi and you had a donut, and then 662 00:31:59,948 --> 00:32:01,588 Speaker 1: Tom Brady walks in the door. This is not the 663 00:32:01,588 --> 00:32:03,948 Speaker 1: beginning of a joke. It's an actual story. Phil in 664 00:32:03,988 --> 00:32:07,188 Speaker 1: the blank for us here, how did Tom Brady of 665 00:32:07,268 --> 00:32:09,748 Speaker 1: the TB twelve method and the diet react to your 666 00:32:09,788 --> 00:32:14,348 Speaker 1: food and drink choice? Yeah, shockingly not well. Not well. 667 00:32:14,468 --> 00:32:16,708 Speaker 1: I had a net game the night before, so I 668 00:32:16,788 --> 00:32:20,588 Speaker 1: took the first flight into Boston. I head to Foxborough. 669 00:32:21,068 --> 00:32:23,588 Speaker 1: I sit down five minutes before nine o'clock. I had 670 00:32:23,628 --> 00:32:25,708 Speaker 1: had nothing to eat. I don't even think I had 671 00:32:25,708 --> 00:32:30,708 Speaker 1: dinner the night before. The Patriot Stacy James, the pr man, 672 00:32:30,908 --> 00:32:34,708 Speaker 1: brings to in donuts and then in the fridge in 673 00:32:34,748 --> 00:32:38,748 Speaker 1: the press area there's a huge pepsi. And I said 674 00:32:38,748 --> 00:32:40,828 Speaker 1: to myself, look, I gotta I gotta do what I 675 00:32:40,868 --> 00:32:46,148 Speaker 1: gotta do. Chocolate donut, pepsi. I'm like mid swig out 676 00:32:46,148 --> 00:32:50,668 Speaker 1: of a Leader bottle. And Tom comes walking in and 677 00:32:50,788 --> 00:32:54,268 Speaker 1: he looks, goes rough night. I was like, no, no, no, 678 00:32:54,308 --> 00:32:58,948 Speaker 1: this is not this is not my normal breakfast combination. 679 00:32:59,268 --> 00:33:01,148 Speaker 1: So he goes on to tell me that there is 680 00:33:01,468 --> 00:33:05,708 Speaker 1: a healthy donut shop right down the road from Chillette, 681 00:33:05,988 --> 00:33:09,708 Speaker 1: and I said, who would do that? Why? Why would 682 00:33:09,708 --> 00:33:12,228 Speaker 1: you have a healthy donut? That doesn't make any sense 683 00:33:12,228 --> 00:33:16,428 Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, So this lived for about three more 684 00:33:16,508 --> 00:33:20,028 Speaker 1: production meetings. When he asked me even middle of the afternoon, Uh, 685 00:33:20,548 --> 00:33:24,028 Speaker 1: you're having that donut pepsi combo again, he shamed me. 686 00:33:24,628 --> 00:33:28,268 Speaker 1: There's there's there's no shame in that I got shamed 687 00:33:28,268 --> 00:33:32,148 Speaker 1: by Tom Brady. Yeah, no shame at all. I'm still 688 00:33:32,148 --> 00:33:34,628 Speaker 1: stuck on the fact that she said I haven't had 689 00:33:34,668 --> 00:33:37,908 Speaker 1: a peat. But unfortunately they said we have to get 690 00:33:37,948 --> 00:33:43,188 Speaker 1: to sports. Yes, you're an amazing, amazing storyteller. I didn't 691 00:33:43,228 --> 00:33:46,228 Speaker 1: like seeing the Miami miracle again being I was on 692 00:33:46,268 --> 00:33:49,348 Speaker 1: the field for the other team that wasn't scoring a touch. Now, 693 00:33:49,468 --> 00:33:53,948 Speaker 1: but you've got broadcasting with the NFL. There you go. 694 00:33:54,108 --> 00:33:57,948 Speaker 1: That's a great way to explain it. You've been broadcasting 695 00:33:58,028 --> 00:34:02,028 Speaker 1: the NFL l cvs for decades. Give us the two 696 00:34:02,148 --> 00:34:06,028 Speaker 1: to three storylines that you five almost intriguing entering us 697 00:34:06,028 --> 00:34:09,788 Speaker 1: two twenty two seasons. Yeah, Jason, I'm going to stick 698 00:34:09,788 --> 00:34:12,588 Speaker 1: in the AFC. There's so many all over the league, 699 00:34:12,668 --> 00:34:16,028 Speaker 1: but the one that really hits me is Buffalo. I 700 00:34:16,068 --> 00:34:19,228 Speaker 1: had that playoff game Bills in New England. It was 701 00:34:19,388 --> 00:34:23,148 Speaker 1: two degrees out. You knew what the Bills were about, 702 00:34:23,708 --> 00:34:26,788 Speaker 1: and it really felt like the start of a Super 703 00:34:26,828 --> 00:34:30,068 Speaker 1: Bowl run. And because of the way they lost to 704 00:34:30,188 --> 00:34:34,348 Speaker 1: Kansas City, I really think they're the people's chaps in 705 00:34:34,388 --> 00:34:36,468 Speaker 1: the eyes of many. Kyle can back me up on 706 00:34:36,508 --> 00:34:40,028 Speaker 1: this on so many levels, and now the question is 707 00:34:40,228 --> 00:34:43,628 Speaker 1: how do they handle all this? I think they're even 708 00:34:43,708 --> 00:34:46,908 Speaker 1: better equipped. They have their entire core group back, but 709 00:34:46,988 --> 00:34:52,588 Speaker 1: they've added some subtle changes, von Miller being the biggest. 710 00:34:52,628 --> 00:34:58,268 Speaker 1: But they're very much together, cohesive, and I think they're 711 00:34:58,268 --> 00:35:00,708 Speaker 1: the best team in football. I think they get to 712 00:35:00,708 --> 00:35:05,988 Speaker 1: the mountaintop this year. Also, Pittsburgh life without Ben Roethlisberger. 713 00:35:06,308 --> 00:35:08,228 Speaker 1: How's that going to feel? How's that going to look? 714 00:35:08,708 --> 00:35:12,308 Speaker 1: Just going in there and not having Big Ben as 715 00:35:12,348 --> 00:35:14,828 Speaker 1: a part of this team. With a lot of faith 716 00:35:14,868 --> 00:35:17,268 Speaker 1: in Mike Tomlin as a head coach, as a leader, 717 00:35:17,588 --> 00:35:21,068 Speaker 1: as someone that can organize this and get this squad ready, 718 00:35:21,348 --> 00:35:24,468 Speaker 1: Trubisky appears to be the guy, and I think they 719 00:35:24,508 --> 00:35:27,948 Speaker 1: believe they can be competitive with him. But everyone knows that. 720 00:35:28,028 --> 00:35:30,428 Speaker 1: It's just keep in the sea worm for Pickt, who's 721 00:35:30,468 --> 00:35:35,788 Speaker 1: already a hero in that city. The defense, they got 722 00:35:35,788 --> 00:35:38,628 Speaker 1: to stop the run this year, and there's going to 723 00:35:38,668 --> 00:35:40,708 Speaker 1: be a lot of responsibility on that side of the ball. 724 00:35:40,708 --> 00:35:44,588 Speaker 1: And then offensively, can they get creative? Can they find 725 00:35:44,668 --> 00:35:48,988 Speaker 1: some ways to generate points? And lastly, in just a 726 00:35:49,028 --> 00:35:54,228 Speaker 1: thumbnail sketch Miami, it looks really good on paper and 727 00:35:54,588 --> 00:35:57,668 Speaker 1: they've given two of the weapons. They're putting him in 728 00:35:57,708 --> 00:36:06,348 Speaker 1: a position to succeed McDaniel. He's creative, he's different, He's 729 00:36:06,628 --> 00:36:10,588 Speaker 1: quirky in a good way. I like that. I like 730 00:36:10,788 --> 00:36:13,068 Speaker 1: someone that looks at things from a different angle, through 731 00:36:13,068 --> 00:36:16,668 Speaker 1: a different lens. How does it translate on Sundays? And 732 00:36:16,708 --> 00:36:19,988 Speaker 1: are they ready to live up to what looks to 733 00:36:20,068 --> 00:36:22,748 Speaker 1: be a much improved team. You gotta go out and 734 00:36:22,748 --> 00:36:31,828 Speaker 1: actually prove it. Welcome back to God Morning Football. This 735 00:36:31,868 --> 00:36:36,068 Speaker 1: guy's done everything from a Scorsese film to a Scarface 736 00:36:36,228 --> 00:36:39,508 Speaker 1: video game, to a Foo Fighters music video and everything 737 00:36:39,508 --> 00:36:41,788 Speaker 1: in between.

Welcome to mister Anthony. Hey, before we 741 00:36:56,668 --> 00:36:59,788 Speaker 1: get started, I have a Carrie Kittle story for you. 742 00:37:00,908 --> 00:37:04,188 Speaker 1: Let's do it. Let's do it fine. So it's in 743 00:37:04,468 --> 00:37:09,268 Speaker 1: BA All Star the fiftieth anniversary in Cleveland, Ohio. Checking 744 00:37:09,348 --> 00:37:12,908 Speaker 1: into the hotel, I go to the NBA office and 745 00:37:12,948 --> 00:37:15,348 Speaker 1: there's a young fella standing next to me and they 746 00:37:15,348 --> 00:37:18,148 Speaker 1: were like, uh, mister Anderson, we have you checked in 747 00:37:18,268 --> 00:37:20,348 Speaker 1: and all that. And I turned to the brother next 748 00:37:20,388 --> 00:37:22,828 Speaker 1: to me and I was like, hey, man, handle these 749 00:37:22,828 --> 00:37:25,188 Speaker 1: bags for me, take much of my room. And he 750 00:37:25,268 --> 00:37:27,628 Speaker 1: looked at me like I was crazy, and I was like, hey, 751 00:37:27,788 --> 00:37:29,548 Speaker 1: I'll give you some money. Make us take the bags 752 00:37:29,588 --> 00:37:32,548 Speaker 1: up to my room. And an NBA affection walked over 753 00:37:32,628 --> 00:37:36,348 Speaker 1: to me and says, oh, mister Anderson, that's one of 754 00:37:36,348 --> 00:37:41,228 Speaker 1: our rookies carry kittles. I was like, whoa he should 755 00:37:41,228 --> 00:37:44,588 Speaker 1: be used to taking these bags up to some other man. 756 00:37:46,148 --> 00:37:49,028 Speaker 1: I had no idea who carry kittles at that time. 757 00:37:51,388 --> 00:37:53,348 Speaker 1: We went on the show for years, no one has 758 00:37:53,348 --> 00:37:55,668 Speaker 1: ever said, can I start with a quick carry kittles story? 759 00:37:55,908 --> 00:37:58,428 Speaker 1: And we're so glad that he did. We love it 760 00:37:58,548 --> 00:38:00,788 Speaker 1: and I bet he took those bags. They shoot up. Anthony. 761 00:38:00,948 --> 00:38:02,708 Speaker 1: We our time is limited. We have to clear something 762 00:38:02,748 --> 00:38:06,468 Speaker 1: really important. We've seen you some port, the Raiders, the Bears, 763 00:38:06,548 --> 00:38:09,548 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and you're also an LA native. So bottom 764 00:38:09,588 --> 00:38:12,148 Speaker 1: line this for us. What is your official NFL team? 765 00:38:12,148 --> 00:38:14,428 Speaker 1: Who are you rolling with? Okay, okay, let me let 766 00:38:14,468 --> 00:38:17,668 Speaker 1: me give you my history. I grew up in Compton, California, 767 00:38:17,988 --> 00:38:22,268 Speaker 1: wanting to play football for the Dallas Cowboys, America's team. 768 00:38:22,308 --> 00:38:24,868 Speaker 1: At the time. It was my dad's team, so that's 769 00:38:24,868 --> 00:38:27,308 Speaker 1: who I grew up wanting to play for. Then as 770 00:38:27,308 --> 00:38:31,868 Speaker 1: I got older, I became a Raiders fan. Being from LA. 771 00:38:32,228 --> 00:38:36,148 Speaker 1: My mother is from Chicago, so when I would go 772 00:38:36,228 --> 00:38:38,788 Speaker 1: visit Chicago, I would go to the Bears games. And 773 00:38:38,828 --> 00:38:42,468 Speaker 1: then I became friends with Khalil Matt once he was 774 00:38:42,508 --> 00:38:45,988 Speaker 1: a Raider and then transferred to the Bears. And then 775 00:38:46,508 --> 00:38:50,028 Speaker 1: I've now become friends with the owner of the Rams, 776 00:38:50,028 --> 00:38:53,308 Speaker 1: staying Cronkey. So I go to the Rams games because 777 00:38:53,348 --> 00:38:55,348 Speaker 1: they're a little bit closer to Vegas to me. So 778 00:38:55,388 --> 00:38:57,548 Speaker 1: I just I'm just all over the place. I'm also 779 00:38:57,788 --> 00:39:00,468 Speaker 1: a Clippers and a Lakers fan. People can't seem to 780 00:39:00,548 --> 00:39:05,188 Speaker 1: understand why or how. But that's just me talking about 781 00:39:05,228 --> 00:39:11,308 Speaker 1: Kara Kitto from New Orleans. Let's go, it's me. I 782 00:39:11,388 --> 00:39:14,508 Speaker 1: love it all, John Dalia just everything, I bet yeah, 783 00:39:14,788 --> 00:39:17,108 Speaker 1: Big Pope Pourrie of just everything, throw it in there. 784 00:39:18,508 --> 00:39:21,148 Speaker 1: We love Khalil Knack, we love his father, Sandy Mats, 785 00:39:21,188 --> 00:39:23,228 Speaker 1: who's a friend of the show. He is the man 786 00:39:23,308 --> 00:39:26,188 Speaker 1: as well. But let's go to those Raiders, because there's 787 00:39:26,188 --> 00:39:27,988 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, these high expectations for a team 788 00:39:27,988 --> 00:39:31,188 Speaker 1: that hasn't had high expectations in two decades? Do you 789 00:39:31,228 --> 00:39:33,668 Speaker 1: think they're able to live up to the hype? Raiders Vegas? 790 00:39:33,668 --> 00:39:36,628 Speaker 1: It feels right? What do you think, Anthony? You know what, 791 00:39:36,708 --> 00:39:40,468 Speaker 1: we always have high expectations for the Raiders, baby. You 792 00:39:40,508 --> 00:39:44,308 Speaker 1: know this is Raider Nation right here, man, And somehow 793 00:39:44,348 --> 00:39:47,828 Speaker 1: we always seem I'm not gonna say, fall short. We 794 00:39:47,908 --> 00:39:51,988 Speaker 1: always seem to come that close and then it doesn't materialize. 795 00:39:52,988 --> 00:39:55,708 Speaker 1: So every preseason, every start of the season, you know, 796 00:39:55,748 --> 00:39:58,028 Speaker 1: we have high hopes for the Raiders, just like I 797 00:39:58,108 --> 00:39:58,828 Speaker 1: do this season.
