Speaker 2: All right, welcome inside Good Morning Football. We are presented

00:00:27,548 --> 00:00:29,868
Speaker 2: by Old Chapper Beech Tricky live in La Tuesday nor

5
00:00:29,988 --> 00:00:32,748
Speaker 2: December tenth. This is OKBA Bud should be a miller.

6
00:00:32,868 --> 00:00:34,748
Speaker 2: That's I say. I stayed back Kyle Brant with stanker

7
00:00:34,748 --> 00:00:38,548
Speaker 2: Gun's jacket on. I'm Jamie Erdolf, given myself a pep talk.

8
00:00:38,628 --> 00:00:41,308
Speaker 2: We played a little game last hour with the AFC

9
00:00:41,548 --> 00:00:44,148
Speaker 2: side of things. We all have our popsicle stick crafts

10
00:00:44,148 --> 00:00:47,228
Speaker 2: in front of us, Kyle, I have. I'm going to

11
00:00:47,308 --> 00:00:49,628
Speaker 2: stand my ground. I'm going to stand in my business

12
00:00:49,628 --> 00:00:50,788
Speaker 2: I think is what I'm supposed.

13
00:00:50,468 --> 00:00:53,668
Speaker 3: To stand on business and don't get coerced by certain people.

14
00:00:53,828 --> 00:00:56,788
Speaker 2: Oh nice, Yes, that's what I need. Because we're doing

15
00:00:56,828 --> 00:00:58,028
Speaker 2: something with the NFC side of things.

16
00:00:58,108 --> 00:00:58,268
Speaker 4: Yeah.

17
00:00:58,308 --> 00:01:00,068
Speaker 5: So we did this earlier in the AFC and we

18
00:01:00,108 --> 00:01:03,268
Speaker 5: put them into our projected playoff tiers T I E

19
00:01:03,428 --> 00:01:05,748
Speaker 5: R S. Meaning we think these teams are going to

20
00:01:05,788 --> 00:01:07,268
Speaker 5: be in the playoffs, or we know they are.

21
00:01:07,428 --> 00:01:08,508
Speaker 4: How do you think they're gonna fare?

22
00:01:08,628 --> 00:01:10,908
Speaker 5: The three tiers we're going to do are it's the

23
00:01:10,908 --> 00:01:13,828
Speaker 5: bottom tier, which is the nice to be here. We

24
00:01:13,868 --> 00:01:16,308
Speaker 5: will gladly take our loss and leave and maybe we'll

25
00:01:16,308 --> 00:01:18,348
Speaker 5: get further next season. Nothing to be ashamed of. You're

26
00:01:18,388 --> 00:01:21,228
Speaker 5: in the playoffs. Then there's to make some noise tier.

27
00:01:21,788 --> 00:01:23,628
Speaker 5: We're here to do some stuff. We're not here to

28
00:01:23,668 --> 00:01:25,348
Speaker 5: do one and done. We're gonna win a game, We're

29
00:01:25,388 --> 00:01:27,148
Speaker 5: gonna win two game. We're going to go on like

30
00:01:27,148 --> 00:01:27,668
Speaker 5: a little run.

31
00:01:27,748 --> 00:01:30,188
Speaker 4: Disruptors, yes, disruptors, that's right.

32
00:01:30,228 --> 00:01:32,028
Speaker 5: And then there's the win the whole bang thing, like

33
00:01:32,068 --> 00:01:34,468
Speaker 5: we are going to have a parade this year. We

34
00:01:34,548 --> 00:01:36,868
Speaker 5: think we can win a ring, not a playoff game,

35
00:01:36,868 --> 00:01:39,548
Speaker 5: that super Bowl appearance, a Super Bowl bang win.

36
00:01:39,868 --> 00:01:40,828
Speaker 4: Those are our three tiers.

37
00:01:40,908 --> 00:01:43,188
Speaker 5: So we put the AFC teams that are of prominence

38
00:01:43,348 --> 00:01:44,668
Speaker 5: in the three tiers where they landed.

39
00:01:44,828 --> 00:01:46,308
Speaker 4: We each have opinion, and then each.

40
00:01:46,108 --> 00:01:47,628
Speaker 5: Of us basically get a vote, or each of the

41
00:01:47,628 --> 00:01:49,268
Speaker 5: three of you do, and then the majority is the

42
00:01:49,308 --> 00:01:51,508
Speaker 5: consensus and we'll update it moving forward. Should we do

43
00:01:51,548 --> 00:01:56,668
Speaker 5: this with the National Football Conference that's GMFB projected playoff tier.

44
00:01:56,788 --> 00:01:57,948
Speaker 4: There's a lot to say about this though.

45
00:01:57,988 --> 00:01:59,588
Speaker 5: So you know, the Lions are sitting there in that

46
00:01:59,628 --> 00:02:02,428
Speaker 5: one Philadelphia nine game winning streak. Even though they're fighting

47
00:02:02,508 --> 00:02:04,668
Speaker 5: or something, they're in the two and that's how it

48
00:02:04,708 --> 00:02:08,028
Speaker 5: shakes out. The lurking is Rams, Falcons, Cardinals and Niners.

49
00:02:08,148 --> 00:02:09,828
Speaker 4: Personally, I think the Rams are the most.

50
00:02:09,588 --> 00:02:12,028
Speaker 5: Interesting one in that column for sure. The Rams coming

51
00:02:12,108 --> 00:02:15,228
Speaker 5: up beating the Buffalo Bills, are at the Niners this

52
00:02:15,308 --> 00:02:18,028
Speaker 5: week and then at the Jets, So keep your eye

53
00:02:18,068 --> 00:02:19,188
Speaker 5: on that La Rams logo.

54
00:02:19,348 --> 00:02:20,668
Speaker 4: But I see this before the highlight.

55
00:02:20,708 --> 00:02:24,188
Speaker 5: We are now gonna do something called GMSP Playoff projected Tiers.

56
00:02:24,428 --> 00:02:27,068
Speaker 4: It's a mouthful. It's because it's complicated. Three tiers. Guys.

57
00:02:27,108 --> 00:02:29,148
Speaker 5: I'm gonna throw out some NFC teams with hats one

58
00:02:29,148 --> 00:02:32,868
Speaker 5: more time. It's either nice to be here, make some noise,

59
00:02:32,908 --> 00:02:35,868
Speaker 5: win a game or two, or win the whole dang thing.

60
00:02:35,988 --> 00:02:38,348
Speaker 5: And the first team up, my friends, is a very

61
00:02:38,388 --> 00:02:41,188
Speaker 5: interesting team. I'm gonna go start with Isaiah on this one.

62
00:02:41,588 --> 00:02:46,948
Speaker 5: Which tier do you put? These guys minute Soota Vikings.

63
00:02:47,148 --> 00:02:50,748
Speaker 5: Pretty much all they do is win, and yet where

64
00:02:50,748 --> 00:02:51,108
Speaker 5: do you go?

65
00:02:51,908 --> 00:02:53,668
Speaker 6: I feel like I'm being lied by Jamie right now,

66
00:02:53,748 --> 00:02:56,148
Speaker 6: just from her eyes. But I'm gonna go with make

67
00:02:56,228 --> 00:02:56,708
Speaker 6: some noise.

68
00:02:57,028 --> 00:02:58,868
Speaker 4: Okay, I thought it was gonna be nice to be here.

69
00:02:58,868 --> 00:03:00,748
Speaker 6: No, no, I woulda say make some noise just because

70
00:03:00,788 --> 00:03:02,588
Speaker 6: I think that these guys are lighting it up offensively

71
00:03:02,668 --> 00:03:05,388
Speaker 6: right now. But I do believe that their defense is

72
00:03:05,428 --> 00:03:07,308
Speaker 6: going to leave them susceptible to getting beat. I think

73
00:03:07,308 --> 00:03:08,948
Speaker 6: they're gonna be a little bit overly aggressive and they're

74
00:03:08,948 --> 00:03:09,828
Speaker 6: gonna get taken advantage of.

75
00:03:09,908 --> 00:03:14,708
Speaker 3: Okay, far okay, you know. I'm gonna just be honest.

76
00:03:15,108 --> 00:03:17,708
Speaker 3: I wear my emotions on my sleeve here. I was

77
00:03:17,748 --> 00:03:21,388
Speaker 3: gonna go with make some noise. I really was. I

78
00:03:21,468 --> 00:03:23,588
Speaker 3: really was, and I still am. I'm going to go

79
00:03:23,628 --> 00:03:25,788
Speaker 3: that they're going to go to make some noise. I

80
00:03:25,828 --> 00:03:28,428
Speaker 3: believe in what Kevin O'Connell's doing there. For the Vikings,

81
00:03:28,588 --> 00:03:30,828
Speaker 3: I think they continue to make some noise. Let's go,

82
00:03:31,508 --> 00:03:31,908
Speaker 3: here we.

83
00:03:31,908 --> 00:03:33,068
Speaker 7: Go, Here we go.

84
00:03:33,188 --> 00:03:35,788
Speaker 5: We have two votes for make some noise. It's Jamie,

85
00:03:35,828 --> 00:03:37,308
Speaker 5: this is the vote. Accounts go all right.

86
00:03:38,028 --> 00:03:39,348
Speaker 2: Why did you have to say it like that?

87
00:03:40,588 --> 00:03:41,588
Speaker 7: I was quick with my team.

88
00:03:41,708 --> 00:03:45,708
Speaker 2: I like the upward momentum. I like the upward option

89
00:03:45,828 --> 00:03:56,108
Speaker 2: that I have with I'll just do this. I think

90
00:03:56,188 --> 00:04:01,228
Speaker 2: other teams can take care of more powerful teams in

91
00:04:01,268 --> 00:04:03,468
Speaker 2: the NFC before you have to face the Vikings. It's

92
00:04:03,508 --> 00:04:06,548
Speaker 2: like playing on the right side of the March Madness bracket.

93
00:04:06,588 --> 00:04:09,268
Speaker 2: Like sometimes a team gets to the Final four and

94
00:04:09,468 --> 00:04:11,988
Speaker 2: they came out of the easiest region, and sometimes that's

95
00:04:12,028 --> 00:04:15,188
Speaker 2: just how it happens. So I think they could because

96
00:04:15,228 --> 00:04:17,068
Speaker 2: I can close my eyes and you don't have to

97
00:04:17,108 --> 00:04:19,748
Speaker 2: ask me why or how. I can see the parade

98
00:04:19,788 --> 00:04:21,628
Speaker 2: route in Minnesota. I can see it.

99
00:04:21,708 --> 00:04:21,988
Speaker 7: Great.

100
00:04:22,188 --> 00:04:22,988
Speaker 4: I like to vote.

101
00:04:23,068 --> 00:04:25,188
Speaker 5: Unfortunately the consensusitude of one. But we do it more.

102
00:04:25,228 --> 00:04:27,148
Speaker 5: We'll do it every week after this, so maybe it'll.

103
00:04:27,028 --> 00:04:29,428
Speaker 4: Become that it lives every week. May.

104
00:04:29,548 --> 00:04:32,188
Speaker 5: Why not's fun? Five eleven and two the Vikings. They

105
00:04:32,268 --> 00:04:34,508
Speaker 5: play the Bears this weekend at home. They still have

106
00:04:34,548 --> 00:04:37,748
Speaker 5: another game against Green Bay. And speaking of the Packers,

107
00:04:38,148 --> 00:04:38,588
Speaker 5: let's just.

108
00:04:38,548 --> 00:04:39,068
Speaker 4: Do it, guys.

109
00:04:39,108 --> 00:04:41,388
Speaker 5: This NFC North We're going to talk about a lot

110
00:04:41,508 --> 00:04:43,468
Speaker 5: over the next month. I saw a stat that these

111
00:04:43,508 --> 00:04:46,708
Speaker 5: three teams, the Lions, Packers, and Vikings outside of their

112
00:04:46,708 --> 00:04:49,068
Speaker 5: division are twenty eight and three combined, meaning if you're

113
00:04:49,108 --> 00:04:52,868
Speaker 5: not playing each other, they're twenty eight and three. Isaiah's

114
00:04:53,108 --> 00:04:55,948
Speaker 5: where do you put the Green Bay Packers who have

115
00:04:56,428 --> 00:04:57,708
Speaker 5: who have lost to the Vikings.

116
00:04:57,748 --> 00:05:00,628
Speaker 6: Way back in September, this was difficult for me, But

117
00:05:00,668 --> 00:05:02,108
Speaker 6: I'm going to say nice to be here.

118
00:05:02,388 --> 00:05:04,148
Speaker 4: And I don't say this was disrespectful.

119
00:05:04,708 --> 00:05:06,748
Speaker 6: I just, for some reason, just don't have the faith

120
00:05:06,788 --> 00:05:08,668
Speaker 6: in them to be able to light up the scoreboard

121
00:05:08,668 --> 00:05:10,028
Speaker 6: the way on which I feel that you need to.

122
00:05:10,068 --> 00:05:11,868
Speaker 6: I don't think that every time you give Jordan Love

123
00:05:11,908 --> 00:05:13,588
Speaker 6: the ball, like you have a vote of confidence that

124
00:05:13,628 --> 00:05:16,268
Speaker 6: they're going to score. If they're running game's not on point,

125
00:05:16,348 --> 00:05:17,948
Speaker 6: I think they're in trouble. So I'm gonna say they're

126
00:05:18,028 --> 00:05:18,548
Speaker 6: nice to be here.

127
00:05:19,068 --> 00:05:22,628
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, No, They're gonna be more than that. They're

128
00:05:22,628 --> 00:05:26,788
Speaker 3: gonna make some noise. I mean, this NFC team North

129
00:05:26,828 --> 00:05:29,348
Speaker 3: team is really really legit. I like what they do.

130
00:05:29,508 --> 00:05:31,588
Speaker 3: They don't have a star wide receiver, but they still

131
00:05:31,588 --> 00:05:33,708
Speaker 3: make it happen with a strong run game. I'm going

132
00:05:33,748 --> 00:05:36,348
Speaker 3: and I'm believing in Lafloor's.

133
00:05:35,988 --> 00:05:38,268
Speaker 5: A reminder that makes some noise is the de facto

134
00:05:38,348 --> 00:05:40,988
Speaker 5: way of saying, at least one playoff win, at least

135
00:05:40,988 --> 00:05:43,708
Speaker 5: one maybe two jamand now good, what.

136
00:05:43,708 --> 00:05:44,068
Speaker 4: Do you got.

137
00:05:44,668 --> 00:05:46,348
Speaker 2: I don't like this game, I just want to start with.

138
00:05:46,388 --> 00:05:48,668
Speaker 2: That stresses me out and I don't want to participate anymore.

139
00:05:48,668 --> 00:05:50,268
Speaker 2: But I will go with this with the Green Bay

140
00:05:50,308 --> 00:05:53,028
Speaker 2: Packers because I think that they have ay, they are

141
00:05:53,068 --> 00:05:56,428
Speaker 2: lining up to have a harder playoff route than other teams.

142
00:05:56,428 --> 00:05:58,108
Speaker 2: And if I have to go to Ford Field again,

143
00:05:58,228 --> 00:06:00,628
Speaker 2: I after the second after the first round that I

144
00:06:00,668 --> 00:06:01,588
Speaker 2: don't think it's gonna go off.

145
00:06:01,708 --> 00:06:03,628
Speaker 5: Okay, so we have two in a row now for

146
00:06:03,788 --> 00:06:07,988
Speaker 5: make some noise. Both the Vikings and the Packers. Reminder,

147
00:06:08,188 --> 00:06:10,228
Speaker 5: we will update these. It's not like beginning of the.

148
00:06:10,228 --> 00:06:11,228
Speaker 4: Season playoff predictions.

149
00:06:11,228 --> 00:06:13,668
Speaker 5: Okay, when we make those playoff predictions, we have to

150
00:06:13,748 --> 00:06:14,868
Speaker 5: ride with them for four months.

151
00:06:14,988 --> 00:06:16,068
Speaker 4: A week from now, we can change it.

152
00:06:16,108 --> 00:06:17,828
Speaker 2: You're so evil, though, like you know what you're doing

153
00:06:17,828 --> 00:06:19,908
Speaker 2: when you grab these hats, because it's so divisive.

154
00:06:20,668 --> 00:06:24,068
Speaker 4: That's the show. We want to be divisive there. Good

155
00:06:24,068 --> 00:06:25,868
Speaker 4: morning we always have. We don't want to fight and argue.

156
00:06:25,988 --> 00:06:28,228
Speaker 4: He doesn't do Drummond. I how about this?

157
00:06:28,388 --> 00:06:31,508
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm the order that I gave the prorectors staff.

158
00:06:31,508 --> 00:06:32,428
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I'm mad living.

159
00:06:32,548 --> 00:06:34,548
Speaker 5: I like this one because I feel like we haven't

160
00:06:34,548 --> 00:06:37,948
Speaker 5: talk about this team in a while. Washington, Okay, the

161
00:06:37,988 --> 00:06:41,068
Speaker 5: Commanders they're there. It's playoff start right now. They're in

162
00:06:41,588 --> 00:06:44,348
Speaker 5: you know the deal? How do you feel you know,

163
00:06:44,428 --> 00:06:45,748
Speaker 5: let's go the episode way, Jami, you want to go

164
00:06:45,788 --> 00:06:49,028
Speaker 5: first or sure you? I guess I do Washington Commanders.

165
00:06:48,628 --> 00:06:51,188
Speaker 2: Because I just realized something. This feels so mean to me.

166
00:06:51,708 --> 00:06:53,268
Speaker 2: But this is what I'm going to say about this team.

167
00:06:53,308 --> 00:06:54,908
Speaker 2: And I haven't even shown this yet for a team,

168
00:06:54,908 --> 00:06:57,188
Speaker 2: and I just had like an existential crisis as to why.

169
00:06:57,228 --> 00:06:59,708
Speaker 2: And it's like, I don't this feels very condescending. It

170
00:06:59,748 --> 00:07:01,388
Speaker 2: feels like they shouldn't have even been there in the

171
00:07:01,388 --> 00:07:03,588
Speaker 2: first place. I don't like teams that I just assume

172
00:07:03,588 --> 00:07:05,948
Speaker 2: we're going to lose out first round. I'd rather have

173
00:07:06,028 --> 00:07:08,548
Speaker 2: everyone just be battle tested and ready rock. But I'm

174
00:07:08,548 --> 00:07:10,268
Speaker 2: gonna say, Commanders, nice to be here in a very

175
00:07:10,348 --> 00:07:10,788
Speaker 2: nice way.

176
00:07:10,828 --> 00:07:14,788
Speaker 5: I'm realizing the crux of the problem here. You think

177
00:07:14,828 --> 00:07:17,108
Speaker 5: it's mean to do nice here? Okay, let me give

178
00:07:17,108 --> 00:07:20,348
Speaker 5: you some context. Context. They're currently the seventh seed, all right.

179
00:07:20,388 --> 00:07:22,068
Speaker 5: The seventh seed often loses in.

180
00:07:22,028 --> 00:07:24,508
Speaker 4: The first round. It's an amazing season for them.

181
00:07:24,548 --> 00:07:26,068
Speaker 5: If it gets to the wild card and lose like

182
00:07:26,148 --> 00:07:28,508
Speaker 5: this is not You're not saying that about the Bills

183
00:07:28,588 --> 00:07:29,668
Speaker 5: or the Eagles.

184
00:07:29,868 --> 00:07:31,508
Speaker 4: Nice to be here. It's just a flippant phrase, but

185
00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:32,668
Speaker 4: thee in the.

186
00:07:32,668 --> 00:07:35,628
Speaker 5: Playoffs, that's a great year. Okay, nice to here. I

187
00:07:35,748 --> 00:07:37,148
Speaker 5: understand why you feel the way you do. Yeah, but

188
00:07:37,188 --> 00:07:38,068
Speaker 5: I think it's all right for this.

189
00:07:38,028 --> 00:07:39,428
Speaker 7: Tim huge accomplishment.

190
00:07:39,788 --> 00:07:43,628
Speaker 3: Nice to be here for the Washington Commanders everything. They

191
00:07:43,668 --> 00:07:46,388
Speaker 3: should be excited, they should be happy where they're going

192
00:07:46,628 --> 00:07:49,188
Speaker 3: and what they've done so far this season with their

193
00:07:49,228 --> 00:07:51,668
Speaker 3: young star quarterback. I'm going nice to be here for

194
00:07:51,708 --> 00:07:52,748
Speaker 3: the Washington Commanders.

195
00:07:53,108 --> 00:07:54,868
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm a rock with Nice to be here as well,

196
00:07:54,908 --> 00:07:56,388
Speaker 6: and mainly because of the fact that I think that

197
00:07:56,428 --> 00:07:59,308
Speaker 6: this locker room has that mentality most likely right, like, hey,

198
00:07:59,308 --> 00:08:01,148
Speaker 6: we weren't supposed to be in this position, so if

199
00:08:01,188 --> 00:08:03,108
Speaker 6: things don't go our way, it's okay, right, and you

200
00:08:03,148 --> 00:08:03,748
Speaker 6: really can't.

201
00:08:03,548 --> 00:08:06,028
Speaker 4: Go into the playoffs with that type of mentality. All right,

202
00:08:06,708 --> 00:08:10,188
Speaker 4: here we go. Main event, the main events.

203
00:08:10,228 --> 00:08:16,868
Speaker 5: No, it's not that, man, your moment came.

204
00:08:17,748 --> 00:08:18,028
Speaker 7: I don't.

205
00:08:18,108 --> 00:08:20,428
Speaker 5: I don't think the Lions are actually that interesting for

206
00:08:20,468 --> 00:08:22,868
Speaker 5: this topic, but these guys are. I'm so gud you

207
00:08:22,908 --> 00:08:25,308
Speaker 5: didn't grab it would go Philadelphia Eagles. I want to

208
00:08:25,348 --> 00:08:29,628
Speaker 5: say this one more time. A nine game winning streak.

209
00:08:29,868 --> 00:08:33,348
Speaker 5: They never lose Isaiah, which of the tiers.

210
00:08:33,348 --> 00:08:36,068
Speaker 4: Do you put the Eagles in if they can get

211
00:08:36,108 --> 00:08:37,148
Speaker 4: past this next week?

212
00:08:37,788 --> 00:08:39,828
Speaker 6: Right they play Pittsburgh. Yeah, they can get past this

213
00:08:39,908 --> 00:08:41,948
Speaker 6: next week. They're gonna win the whole dog on thing

214
00:08:42,428 --> 00:08:43,868
Speaker 6: because of the fact that they.

215
00:08:43,788 --> 00:08:45,188
Speaker 4: Just have better players.

216
00:08:45,468 --> 00:08:47,748
Speaker 6: Right, they have better players, and their offensive coordinator and

217
00:08:47,828 --> 00:08:51,188
Speaker 6: defensive coordinator are doing the dang thing. These guys are

218
00:08:51,228 --> 00:08:53,228
Speaker 6: putting in a position to win, and their star players

219
00:08:53,268 --> 00:08:53,828
Speaker 6: are showing up.

220
00:08:53,908 --> 00:08:55,748
Speaker 4: Just don't have no divide in the locker room, and

221
00:08:55,788 --> 00:08:56,908
Speaker 4: you're gonna be Okay.

222
00:08:57,628 --> 00:08:59,428
Speaker 7: Doctor Phil is coming. Don't worry.

223
00:08:59,508 --> 00:09:02,628
Speaker 3: He'll straighten those guys out. He'll get Jalen Hurts, and

224
00:09:02,668 --> 00:09:04,468
Speaker 3: he'll get Agent Brown together.

225
00:09:04,428 --> 00:09:05,948
Speaker 4: Doctor Philot, doctor Siriani.

226
00:09:05,988 --> 00:09:09,548
Speaker 7: Can he gonna have to call doctor Phil? Okay, all right,

227
00:09:09,588 --> 00:09:10,268
Speaker 7: they pay you enough.

228
00:09:10,388 --> 00:09:12,068
Speaker 4: We got plenty of vacue. You just need a little

229
00:09:12,108 --> 00:09:12,508
Speaker 4: v cue.

230
00:09:14,268 --> 00:09:17,828
Speaker 3: Okay, this one. I really believe in this team. They

231
00:09:17,828 --> 00:09:21,188
Speaker 3: are so good. They're gonna be in the NFC Championship.

232
00:09:21,468 --> 00:09:24,428
Speaker 3: They have the ability. I think that they can win

233
00:09:24,508 --> 00:09:27,308
Speaker 3: the whole thing. This offense is going to run through

234
00:09:27,348 --> 00:09:30,068
Speaker 3: Saquon Barkley, but they have that dog in A J.

235
00:09:30,228 --> 00:09:30,708
Speaker 4: Brown, a J.

236
00:09:30,828 --> 00:09:32,788
Speaker 7: Brown man, Come on, man, straighten up. You're part of

237
00:09:32,788 --> 00:09:35,188
Speaker 7: a winning team. You got this, man, you got this,

238
00:09:35,348 --> 00:09:35,908
Speaker 7: You're part of it.

239
00:09:35,988 --> 00:09:36,308
Speaker 4: Let's go.

240
00:09:36,988 --> 00:09:38,948
Speaker 2: I don't know how this happened. I think I'm supposed

241
00:09:38,948 --> 00:09:41,068
Speaker 2: to host the show. I don't want to play these games.

242
00:09:41,228 --> 00:09:42,148
Speaker 2: I don't like this.

243
00:09:42,708 --> 00:09:46,508
Speaker 4: Why are you the last time around? We do this

244
00:09:47,348 --> 00:09:49,068
Speaker 4: every time around we have.

245
00:09:51,028 --> 00:09:52,988
Speaker 5: We've done it a few times already in this segment,

246
00:09:53,068 --> 00:09:53,908
Speaker 5: like we got it.

247
00:09:54,908 --> 00:09:57,268
Speaker 7: No, I don't, whoa.

248
00:09:57,868 --> 00:09:59,308
Speaker 4: This is totally the fireball.

249
00:09:59,388 --> 00:10:01,508
Speaker 5: All right, So they win the wild card, maybe they

250
00:10:01,548 --> 00:10:02,428
Speaker 5: even win the divisional?

251
00:10:03,428 --> 00:10:05,948
Speaker 2: Isn't and Kyle has As for me, I feel like.

252
00:10:05,948 --> 00:10:07,148
Speaker 4: I'm here for a rest manager.

253
00:10:08,948 --> 00:10:10,188
Speaker 7: We convinced her last time.

254
00:10:10,308 --> 00:10:10,508
Speaker 4: We just.

255
00:10:11,988 --> 00:10:13,188
Speaker 7: Defense one championship.

256
00:10:13,188 --> 00:10:15,348
Speaker 3: We're talking about the number one defense, the number one

257
00:10:15,428 --> 00:10:18,948
Speaker 3: rushing offense. This team is loaded, locked and loaded, ready for.

258
00:10:19,148 --> 00:10:21,348
Speaker 3: This is playoffs football right here. This is super Bowl

259
00:10:21,388 --> 00:10:23,788
Speaker 3: PLU No, okay, make some noise?

260
00:10:23,868 --> 00:10:27,308
Speaker 7: Is fine? Okay? I thought I convinced her to switch

261
00:10:27,348 --> 00:10:28,548
Speaker 7: on the Oh she's gonna switch?

262
00:10:28,668 --> 00:10:31,308
Speaker 4: No, no, no, makes some nice. It's perfectly justifiable. Ticket.

263
00:10:31,308 --> 00:10:32,788
Speaker 4: That's why we do the segment. All right, you want

264
00:10:32,828 --> 00:10:33,148
Speaker 4: to throw.

265
00:10:33,068 --> 00:10:37,228
Speaker 5: On one more, I'm gonna do one. This team is

266
00:10:37,268 --> 00:10:40,828
Speaker 5: currently not in the playoffs, all right, and yet they

267
00:10:40,868 --> 00:10:44,828
Speaker 5: got they got some heat, they got some sauce. Come on, now,

268
00:10:44,908 --> 00:10:46,908
Speaker 5: let's go right next to our next door neighbors. They

269
00:10:46,908 --> 00:10:49,068
Speaker 5: are currently the Rams, the eight seed. I don't know

270
00:10:49,068 --> 00:10:50,828
Speaker 5: if you saw this this past weekend. They beat the

271
00:10:50,828 --> 00:10:53,108
Speaker 5: Buffalo Bills. They haven't lost in a couple of months.

272
00:10:53,428 --> 00:10:58,028
Speaker 5: Cooper Pook crazy young defense is completely fearless.

273
00:10:58,108 --> 00:10:59,948
Speaker 4: They got the coach, they got the quarterback, they got

274
00:10:59,948 --> 00:11:00,228
Speaker 4: to get the.

275
00:11:00,188 --> 00:11:03,188
Speaker 5: Win still because they ain't in As they stand back

276
00:11:03,308 --> 00:11:05,948
Speaker 5: La Rams witch Tier, I'm gonna go and make some noise.

277
00:11:06,068 --> 00:11:08,348
Speaker 6: Yeah, just because if these guys get into the playoffs,

278
00:11:08,388 --> 00:11:10,468
Speaker 6: I think their defense, that defensive line that they have

279
00:11:10,548 --> 00:11:12,988
Speaker 6: is absolutely nuts right now. I think that their defense

280
00:11:13,028 --> 00:11:14,988
Speaker 6: is putting them in position to get the ball in

281
00:11:14,988 --> 00:11:17,188
Speaker 6: the hands of Matthew Stafford and get the hands and

282
00:11:17,308 --> 00:11:19,268
Speaker 6: ball in the hands of Cooper Cup and Pooling. The

283
00:11:19,268 --> 00:11:21,068
Speaker 6: cool these guys offensively, I don't think you could really

284
00:11:21,108 --> 00:11:23,348
Speaker 6: pick right. So they're gonna light you up on offense.

285
00:11:23,388 --> 00:11:24,988
Speaker 6: And if their defense shows up and that d line

286
00:11:24,988 --> 00:11:27,188
Speaker 6: gets home, yeah, they're in a conversation, especially with that

287
00:11:27,228 --> 00:11:27,668
Speaker 6: head coach.

288
00:11:27,788 --> 00:11:31,788
Speaker 3: If if their defense shows up because you know, of course,

289
00:11:31,908 --> 00:11:34,148
Speaker 3: we saw the Bills put up a bunch of points

290
00:11:34,188 --> 00:11:36,908
Speaker 3: on them, forty two points on them. I'm stuck, and

291
00:11:36,948 --> 00:11:39,308
Speaker 3: I wish if there was something in between the year

292
00:11:39,388 --> 00:11:42,508
Speaker 3: you're long enough, the dang thing. I wish there was

293
00:11:42,548 --> 00:11:45,708
Speaker 3: something here. But I'm leaning this way and it's they're

294
00:11:45,748 --> 00:11:48,148
Speaker 3: going to make some noise. Is yeah, this is this

295
00:11:48,228 --> 00:11:50,468
Speaker 3: is a team that has the capability, of course when

296
00:11:50,508 --> 00:11:52,068
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford is leading the way.

297
00:11:52,228 --> 00:11:54,068
Speaker 7: But they're healthy now. I think this is the one thing.

298
00:11:54,268 --> 00:11:57,308
Speaker 3: We've seen them gain momentum as they've gotten healthier and healthier.

299
00:11:57,348 --> 00:12:00,468
Speaker 3: So this momentum will take them way past that that

300
00:12:00,548 --> 00:12:01,908
Speaker 3: first game they're.

301
00:12:01,668 --> 00:12:04,788
Speaker 5: Not in the playoffs, they got at Niners, at Jets.

302
00:12:04,828 --> 00:12:06,668
Speaker 4: I mentioned this with the Rams, that's where we're at.

303
00:12:06,828 --> 00:12:09,308
Speaker 2: I wish there was I think the one that should

304
00:12:09,348 --> 00:12:11,668
Speaker 2: sit between these two cards is like I see you, Okay,

305
00:12:11,668 --> 00:12:13,988
Speaker 2: I see what you did in the postseason, but I

306
00:12:15,748 --> 00:12:18,308
Speaker 2: think I'll go n nice to be here with the Rams.

307
00:12:18,828 --> 00:12:20,708
Speaker 2: Sean McVay has messed around and ruined a couple of

308
00:12:20,708 --> 00:12:22,908
Speaker 2: people's seasons so far this year. Like he beat the

309
00:12:22,948 --> 00:12:25,628
Speaker 2: Vikings when they were undefeated, he beat the Bills last weekend.

310
00:12:26,548 --> 00:12:29,428
Speaker 2: But I just don't know if they have it in

311
00:12:29,468 --> 00:12:30,188
Speaker 2: the first round.

312
00:12:30,268 --> 00:12:32,348
Speaker 4: Hmm, it'll be a tough matchup.

313
00:12:32,388 --> 00:12:34,748
Speaker 5: I mean they'll probably you know, they're going to play

314
00:12:34,748 --> 00:12:37,188
Speaker 5: somebody who's the two. They're going to have a juggernaut type.

315
00:12:37,268 --> 00:12:39,348
Speaker 5: They might play the Eagles in the first round. But

316
00:12:40,428 --> 00:12:42,668
Speaker 5: that's why they're so interesting, because they're not even in

317
00:12:42,708 --> 00:12:46,028
Speaker 5: the playoffs, and we're most of the half the tables

318
00:12:46,028 --> 00:12:47,948
Speaker 5: saying ohthough, it definitely makes some noise, there's a lot

319
00:12:47,988 --> 00:12:49,708
Speaker 5: of respect and there's a team you don't want to

320
00:12:49,708 --> 00:12:50,908
Speaker 5: play factor for the Rams.

321
00:12:51,028 --> 00:12:52,068
Speaker 4: We'll do again next week.

322
00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:53,828
Speaker 5: They may lose this week and then we don't even

323
00:12:53,868 --> 00:12:56,068
Speaker 5: have that conversation. We may be talking about the Falcons

324
00:12:56,108 --> 00:12:57,468
Speaker 5: as we probably not, but we might be.

325
00:12:57,668 --> 00:13:01,108
Speaker 4: Guys, that's the projected playoff. Here's GMFF. Reach out everybody.

326
00:13:01,148 --> 00:13:02,748
Speaker 7: We're reaching dramatic music with this.

327
00:13:03,388 --> 00:13:07,108
Speaker 2: It's a great, great already formatic enough. We don't want

328
00:13:07,108 --> 00:13:08,908
Speaker 2: to do this again. I'm just telling you, sorry to hear.

329
00:13:08,948 --> 00:13:15,828
Speaker 2: That takes a very powerful and influential person in the

330
00:13:15,948 --> 00:13:18,468
Speaker 2: NFL for us to still talk about him despite not

331
00:13:18,508 --> 00:13:21,308
Speaker 2: coaching this season, and that person is Bill Belichick. Anytime

332
00:13:21,308 --> 00:13:23,428
Speaker 2: there is a whisper of this name and the news

333
00:13:23,668 --> 00:13:26,548
Speaker 2: we pay attention. We wonder where the next landing spot

334
00:13:26,548 --> 00:13:29,068
Speaker 2: will be for the Patriots. Former Patriots head coach Mike

335
00:13:29,068 --> 00:13:32,388
Speaker 2: Garifolo get in here, listen. Belichick has talked about the

336
00:13:32,428 --> 00:13:35,268
Speaker 2: report himself. There's talk of him going to the college game.

337
00:13:35,348 --> 00:13:37,388
Speaker 2: What's the latest, So we can set the table because

338
00:13:37,388 --> 00:13:39,068
Speaker 2: we have Ron Rivera here, we want to hear his thoughts.

339
00:13:40,348 --> 00:13:42,468
Speaker 4: Jamie. We're still hi, Ron, how are you? Jamie?

340
00:13:42,468 --> 00:13:44,788
Speaker 8: We're still talking about Bill Belichick because he's somewhat on

341
00:13:44,828 --> 00:13:47,508
Speaker 8: the NFL landscape because we expect him to be a

342
00:13:47,588 --> 00:13:49,428
Speaker 8: candidate for some of these jobs that are going to

343
00:13:49,508 --> 00:13:51,948
Speaker 8: come open or are already open on the NFL level.

344
00:13:51,988 --> 00:13:54,148
Speaker 4: But for now, Belichick.

345
00:13:53,668 --> 00:13:57,828
Speaker 8: Is exploring the possibility of joining the University of North Carolina.

346
00:13:57,828 --> 00:14:00,948
Speaker 8: He said he's had multiple conversations and that we'll see

347
00:14:00,988 --> 00:14:03,508
Speaker 8: where it goes. That was on the Pat McAfee show yesterday.

348
00:14:03,988 --> 00:14:05,428
Speaker 4: We can you talk to people who.

349
00:14:05,308 --> 00:14:08,468
Speaker 8: Have their hands in both worlds, the NFL and college,

350
00:14:08,468 --> 00:14:12,028
Speaker 8: and I did that yesterday regarding Belichick. You get the center.

351
00:14:12,148 --> 00:14:14,468
Speaker 8: This is a serious endeavor for him. It's not like

352
00:14:14,508 --> 00:14:16,708
Speaker 8: he's just doing this to kill time as he gets

353
00:14:16,708 --> 00:14:18,788
Speaker 8: ready for NFL jobs that are open.

354
00:14:19,068 --> 00:14:20,028
Speaker 4: He is interested in this.

355
00:14:20,068 --> 00:14:21,948
Speaker 8: He's got a history of his father was a coach there,

356
00:14:22,508 --> 00:14:25,228
Speaker 8: so he has connections to the University of North Carolina.

357
00:14:25,268 --> 00:14:28,268
Speaker 8: But my understanding and the understanding of everybody I spoke

358
00:14:28,308 --> 00:14:30,228
Speaker 8: to on this, is that Belichick's only going to do

359
00:14:30,268 --> 00:14:32,348
Speaker 8: this on his terms. He needs to know that he

360
00:14:32,388 --> 00:14:35,268
Speaker 8: has the resources and the commitment from the school to

361
00:14:35,308 --> 00:14:38,748
Speaker 8: be able to compete with some of the upper tier

362
00:14:39,188 --> 00:14:43,068
Speaker 8: programs in college football. The way the NIL stuff works,

363
00:14:43,508 --> 00:14:46,228
Speaker 8: it's sort of like running an NFL program now on

364
00:14:46,268 --> 00:14:48,468
Speaker 8: the college level. So Belichick believes he can take that

365
00:14:48,548 --> 00:14:51,548
Speaker 8: experience that he has running an entire building at the

366
00:14:51,628 --> 00:14:53,868
Speaker 8: NFL level and apply it to the college game. So

367
00:14:54,228 --> 00:14:56,708
Speaker 8: we're going to continue to watch this because again, I

368
00:14:56,748 --> 00:14:58,508
Speaker 8: know some folks saw this and to that in no

369
00:14:58,548 --> 00:15:00,908
Speaker 8: way he's going to know this is something where he

370
00:15:00,988 --> 00:15:03,588
Speaker 8: has a serious interest if the pieces all fall in

371
00:15:03,628 --> 00:15:04,868
Speaker 8: place for him.

372
00:15:04,908 --> 00:15:07,348
Speaker 4: So we'll monitor for you, Jamie, Thanks.

373
00:15:07,068 --> 00:15:10,068
Speaker 2: Mike g If you want a take from his former players,

374
00:15:10,188 --> 00:15:12,988
Speaker 2: you got Julian Edelman, Tom Brady, and Rob Gronkowski on

375
00:15:13,028 --> 00:15:15,308
Speaker 2: the Fox pregame show on Sunday. Kind of laughing at

376
00:15:15,308 --> 00:15:18,468
Speaker 2: this option for Belichick. But we want to unpack it

377
00:15:18,508 --> 00:15:21,268
Speaker 2: with Ron Rivera. You and Belichick coach. We Hi, how

378
00:15:21,268 --> 00:15:21,508
Speaker 2: are you?

379
00:15:21,788 --> 00:15:22,148
Speaker 7: I'm good?

380
00:15:22,228 --> 00:15:24,988
Speaker 4: He so good to see you.

381
00:15:25,028 --> 00:15:26,668
Speaker 2: We have to bring it in to talk about just

382
00:15:26,748 --> 00:15:29,668
Speaker 2: this option for Belichick and what does that mean for

383
00:15:29,708 --> 00:15:30,828
Speaker 2: the coaching fraternity.

384
00:15:31,068 --> 00:15:32,708
Speaker 9: Well, first of all, I think it's brilliant because what's

385
00:15:32,748 --> 00:15:35,308
Speaker 9: going on right now in college football something that's really interesting.

386
00:15:35,468 --> 00:15:38,988
Speaker 9: They're starting to look for GMS general managers to handle

387
00:15:39,228 --> 00:15:39,948
Speaker 9: what's going on.

388
00:15:39,948 --> 00:15:40,948
Speaker 4: With college football.

389
00:15:41,268 --> 00:15:43,148
Speaker 9: So now they're starting to talk about a little bit

390
00:15:43,188 --> 00:15:46,268
Speaker 9: of a professionalism to the game. And when you start

391
00:15:46,268 --> 00:15:49,588
Speaker 9: talking about billionaires go out and start talking about investing

392
00:15:49,628 --> 00:15:52,708
Speaker 9: money into college football, college sports. Now you're talking about

393
00:15:52,708 --> 00:15:55,348
Speaker 9: they're bringing in a lot of cash for these universities.

394
00:15:55,508 --> 00:15:58,388
Speaker 9: So the value is there as far as it's concerned. Now,

395
00:15:58,988 --> 00:16:01,308
Speaker 9: he's absolutely right trying to get commitment because if you

396
00:16:01,308 --> 00:16:03,588
Speaker 9: start getting commitment to some of these major alumni, start

397
00:16:03,588 --> 00:16:05,788
Speaker 9: coming in, start putting money into the program, you can

398
00:16:05,868 --> 00:16:08,868
Speaker 9: legitimize your program by having a Bill Belichick run it.

399
00:16:09,228 --> 00:16:11,628
Speaker 9: Think about what he said on the Pat McAfee show

400
00:16:11,628 --> 00:16:14,148
Speaker 9: talking about how this is really a stepping stone for

401
00:16:14,188 --> 00:16:16,068
Speaker 9: a lot of these players. And if you get enough

402
00:16:16,068 --> 00:16:18,228
Speaker 9: of these great players that want to come, you know,

403
00:16:18,268 --> 00:16:19,828
Speaker 9: that are coming out of high school going into college

404
00:16:19,828 --> 00:16:21,828
Speaker 9: football and they want to play for you at the

405
00:16:21,908 --> 00:16:25,228
Speaker 9: University of North Carolina, you now have created an instant

406
00:16:25,268 --> 00:16:27,668
Speaker 9: program that has had got some legitimacy because of who

407
00:16:27,708 --> 00:16:30,028
Speaker 9: you are, but because of the people that are involved

408
00:16:30,028 --> 00:16:32,548
Speaker 9: with their money, and now the players want to come

409
00:16:32,548 --> 00:16:33,188
Speaker 9: and be part of this.

410
00:16:33,868 --> 00:16:36,628
Speaker 3: Yes, I'd stare with the restrictions because there are a

411
00:16:36,628 --> 00:16:40,628
Speaker 3: lot of restrictions that the NCAA in navigating that one,

412
00:16:40,748 --> 00:16:43,308
Speaker 3: and it's like, at seventy three years old, how does

413
00:16:43,388 --> 00:16:44,308
Speaker 3: he handle something like that?

414
00:16:44,388 --> 00:16:47,228
Speaker 4: Well, the NCAA really isn't the NCAA like it used

415
00:16:47,268 --> 00:16:47,428
Speaker 4: to be.

416
00:16:47,788 --> 00:16:51,068
Speaker 9: Okay, there are ways around these rules through the nil

417
00:16:51,148 --> 00:16:53,508
Speaker 9: as far as getting money to players. So really the

418
00:16:53,548 --> 00:16:55,788
Speaker 9: only real restrictions I think they're going to have is

419
00:16:56,068 --> 00:16:59,068
Speaker 9: just how much money do you have? And again, based

420
00:16:59,108 --> 00:17:00,468
Speaker 9: on who he is and what he can do as

421
00:17:00,508 --> 00:17:02,188
Speaker 9: far as the impact, and if you listen to what

422
00:17:02,268 --> 00:17:04,068
Speaker 9: he said on the Pat McAfee show, he's you know,

423
00:17:04,108 --> 00:17:06,508
Speaker 9: there's some interest as far as he's concerned, if it's

424
00:17:06,548 --> 00:17:08,188
Speaker 9: being able to do it the way he sees it.

425
00:17:08,908 --> 00:17:11,068
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I was a backup quarterback and I play

426
00:17:11,148 --> 00:17:15,308
Speaker 6: receiver for coach Belichick, and I understand the time commitment

427
00:17:15,548 --> 00:17:18,228
Speaker 6: and the professionalism that he demands right now that he

428
00:17:18,348 --> 00:17:21,708
Speaker 6: asks that he demands, and I can't foresee him going

429
00:17:21,748 --> 00:17:23,868
Speaker 6: to college just from a standpoint of he's going to

430
00:17:23,908 --> 00:17:26,148
Speaker 6: be dealing with kids who haven't even figured out how

431
00:17:26,148 --> 00:17:27,908
Speaker 6: to be men yet, and he's gonna have to split

432
00:17:28,028 --> 00:17:30,748
Speaker 6: that time with what he demands in terms of his

433
00:17:30,828 --> 00:17:32,548
Speaker 6: approach to the game with school.

434
00:17:32,868 --> 00:17:35,108
Speaker 4: These guys are still going to have to go to school.

435
00:17:34,868 --> 00:17:37,588
Speaker 6: Right So, I can't foresee him saying, hey, you guys

436
00:17:37,628 --> 00:17:38,908
Speaker 6: got to be here at this time do these things,

437
00:17:38,948 --> 00:17:40,788
Speaker 6: and this is what the time commitment is, watching film

438
00:17:40,948 --> 00:17:41,548
Speaker 6: and preparing.

439
00:17:41,708 --> 00:17:43,108
Speaker 4: Oh and by the way, yeah, make sure your grades

440
00:17:43,148 --> 00:17:45,268
Speaker 4: are taken care of. I can't foresee that right now.

441
00:17:45,468 --> 00:17:47,028
Speaker 9: No, that's probably one of the things that he will

442
00:17:47,108 --> 00:17:48,988
Speaker 9: have to deal with as far as those issues are concerned,

443
00:17:49,028 --> 00:17:51,188
Speaker 9: if he does do it. But again, if he doesn't,

444
00:17:51,188 --> 00:17:53,148
Speaker 9: you know, he's got an opportunity going back to the NFL.

445
00:17:53,228 --> 00:17:56,068
Speaker 4: Most certainly, I just look at Belichick. He represents something

446
00:17:56,148 --> 00:17:59,428
Speaker 4: more than most coaches. He has eight super Bowl Right.

447
00:17:59,308 --> 00:18:01,828
Speaker 5: Now, he is a legend and he's going to go

448
00:18:01,948 --> 00:18:05,308
Speaker 5: in some mid level college program and a money play,

449
00:18:05,468 --> 00:18:08,548
Speaker 5: and like this, this seems due respect North Carolina, This

450
00:18:08,628 --> 00:18:11,188
Speaker 5: seems beneath him, Like what is in this for him?

451
00:18:11,388 --> 00:18:13,428
Speaker 4: Like that's where he wants this next chapter to be.

452
00:18:13,508 --> 00:18:15,828
Speaker 5: He's at North Carolina dealing with kids and they're leaving

453
00:18:15,828 --> 00:18:16,748
Speaker 5: because they don't enough money.

454
00:18:16,788 --> 00:18:17,348
Speaker 4: We're gonna pay it.

455
00:18:17,388 --> 00:18:21,108
Speaker 5: It just seems like the college football is really, frankly

456
00:18:21,188 --> 00:18:23,148
Speaker 5: pretty scummy right now in a lot of ways, and

457
00:18:23,268 --> 00:18:24,868
Speaker 5: I just Belichick wants to jump into that.

458
00:18:24,908 --> 00:18:26,508
Speaker 4: What do you think the motivation is other than just

459
00:18:26,708 --> 00:18:27,308
Speaker 4: the challenge?

460
00:18:27,948 --> 00:18:29,948
Speaker 9: About the challenge? I mean, he's conquered the NFL. You

461
00:18:30,108 --> 00:18:32,548
Speaker 9: just said it, eight super Bowl championships. I mean, this

462
00:18:32,628 --> 00:18:35,628
Speaker 9: guy really is to go right now, what's the next challenge?

463
00:18:35,668 --> 00:18:36,428
Speaker 4: What's the next chapter?

464
00:18:36,628 --> 00:18:39,148
Speaker 9: Or is he finding the right NFL program to rebuild

465
00:18:39,348 --> 00:18:41,468
Speaker 9: and build it up into the model he wanted to do?

466
00:18:41,628 --> 00:18:44,708
Speaker 2: Well you reference the funneling of money that happens now

467
00:18:44,788 --> 00:18:46,988
Speaker 2: with Nil. I think the challenge is convincing that man

468
00:18:47,028 --> 00:18:49,788
Speaker 2: to show but a cocktail party for donors and be like, yeah,

469
00:18:49,948 --> 00:18:52,428
Speaker 2: give money to our program, Like do you think that

470
00:18:52,588 --> 00:18:54,668
Speaker 2: guy wants to go into that room and do that?

471
00:18:54,908 --> 00:18:57,428
Speaker 2: And I was four years on the SEC. You got

472
00:18:57,548 --> 00:18:59,988
Speaker 2: to go to dinners at the athletic the head's house

473
00:19:00,068 --> 00:19:02,228
Speaker 2: and like all this stuff, and oh, this guy's got

474
00:19:02,228 --> 00:19:03,828
Speaker 2: a billion dollars he wants to give. You got to

475
00:19:03,868 --> 00:19:06,348
Speaker 2: show up and shake hands and kiss babies and give

476
00:19:06,428 --> 00:19:08,388
Speaker 2: hugs and take Christmas cars and sign things.

477
00:19:08,748 --> 00:19:10,708
Speaker 9: But is the question is does he go to them

478
00:19:10,788 --> 00:19:13,388
Speaker 9: or do they come to him on his terms too?

479
00:19:13,428 --> 00:19:15,828
Speaker 9: And again, understand who he is. I mean you said it,

480
00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:17,908
Speaker 9: we know who he is. I mean coach waltks into

481
00:19:17,948 --> 00:19:20,748
Speaker 9: that room. Everybody wants to have a conversation with coach.

482
00:19:20,828 --> 00:19:23,028
Speaker 9: So is it going to be one of those things

483
00:19:23,028 --> 00:19:24,308
Speaker 9: where people who want to come to him?

484
00:19:24,548 --> 00:19:26,828
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, just real quick, I wonder to

485
00:19:27,268 --> 00:19:29,668
Speaker 3: what you're saying, Kyle, why he would go because I

486
00:19:29,668 --> 00:19:31,628
Speaker 3: feel the same way like this is beneath him like

487
00:19:31,708 --> 00:19:34,188
Speaker 3: you are, Bill Belichick. I would never see Phil Jackson

488
00:19:34,588 --> 00:19:37,068
Speaker 3: go and coach you know at San Diego State, right,

489
00:19:37,548 --> 00:19:40,268
Speaker 3: And I start thinking, well, could this be because at

490
00:19:40,348 --> 00:19:43,708
Speaker 3: his age, an NFL team is going seventy three years old?

491
00:19:43,788 --> 00:19:45,588
Speaker 3: What are you going to give us four good years,

492
00:19:45,788 --> 00:19:47,908
Speaker 3: three good years is not a long term thing, Like,

493
00:19:48,268 --> 00:19:51,668
Speaker 3: maybe this is a challenge because there's not an opportunity

494
00:19:51,708 --> 00:19:53,148
Speaker 3: anymore for him in the NFL.

495
00:19:53,308 --> 00:19:55,268
Speaker 2: All right, so let's move on to the Viking Shelby

496
00:19:55,428 --> 00:19:57,548
Speaker 2: because we have many NFL topics we want to get

497
00:19:57,548 --> 00:20:00,588
Speaker 2: to with you. Vikings are at eleven wins. They drafted

498
00:20:00,588 --> 00:20:02,988
Speaker 2: a quarterback in the first round last year. JJ McCarthy

499
00:20:03,028 --> 00:20:05,388
Speaker 2: gets hurt. They have Sam Darnold on a one year deal.

500
00:20:06,148 --> 00:20:08,668
Speaker 2: But again, they've won eleven games. What the heck are

501
00:20:08,708 --> 00:20:11,428
Speaker 2: they going to do this offseason with this debacle in

502
00:20:11,548 --> 00:20:13,068
Speaker 2: a good way that they found themselves in.

503
00:20:13,748 --> 00:20:14,788
Speaker 4: Why not bring him back?

504
00:20:14,948 --> 00:20:17,268
Speaker 9: I mean, Sam Donald's proven that he now has the

505
00:20:17,348 --> 00:20:20,108
Speaker 9: opportunity to be who he can be. We've always thought

506
00:20:20,108 --> 00:20:21,628
Speaker 9: he could be a good quarterback. He had a good

507
00:20:21,668 --> 00:20:24,868
Speaker 9: college career, he started very slow in the NFL. He's

508
00:20:24,908 --> 00:20:27,148
Speaker 9: in a great situation, right though, Why would he want

509
00:20:27,188 --> 00:20:27,348
Speaker 9: on this?

510
00:20:27,508 --> 00:20:27,708
Speaker 2: Yeah?

511
00:20:27,748 --> 00:20:29,228
Speaker 4: Let me thinking about what Kevin O'Connell's done.

512
00:20:29,268 --> 00:20:31,308
Speaker 9: What he's done has been masterful as far as rebuilding

513
00:20:31,348 --> 00:20:33,668
Speaker 9: who Sam Donald is. So the truth of the matter is,

514
00:20:33,708 --> 00:20:36,508
Speaker 9: JAJ McCarthy, let me see, Jordan Love sat down for

515
00:20:36,548 --> 00:20:39,708
Speaker 9: a while, Aaron Rodgers sat down for why can't he

516
00:20:39,788 --> 00:20:41,828
Speaker 9: sit down for a while? Nothing says because just because

517
00:20:41,828 --> 00:20:44,148
Speaker 9: you're draft in the first round you should start automatically.

518
00:20:44,708 --> 00:20:45,828
Speaker 4: Where do we get to that all.

519
00:20:45,788 --> 00:20:47,868
Speaker 9: Of a sudden, When I came into the league first second,

520
00:20:47,908 --> 00:20:49,268
Speaker 9: third rounders, you didn't start.

521
00:20:49,108 --> 00:20:51,028
Speaker 4: Right away, so you had to earn that opportunity.

522
00:20:51,068 --> 00:20:52,788
Speaker 9: Maybe the first pick of the draft had to start

523
00:20:52,868 --> 00:20:54,028
Speaker 9: right but nobody else did.

524
00:20:54,308 --> 00:20:55,788
Speaker 4: And I know that was a while to go back

525
00:20:55,788 --> 00:20:58,228
Speaker 4: in the eighties, but today.

526
00:20:58,268 --> 00:21:00,908
Speaker 9: The same thing could be true, especially for the quarterback position.

527
00:21:01,228 --> 00:21:03,348
Speaker 9: What says Jaji McCarthy has to be the guy next year?

528
00:21:03,508 --> 00:21:06,228
Speaker 9: Why can't Sam dar Why can't a guy who's resurrected

529
00:21:06,268 --> 00:21:08,828
Speaker 9: his career with the right head coach and Kevin O'Connell

530
00:21:09,228 --> 00:21:12,228
Speaker 9: get the opportunity to continue coach?

531
00:21:12,308 --> 00:21:14,188
Speaker 6: I love that's so refreshing to hear that a coach

532
00:21:14,308 --> 00:21:16,708
Speaker 6: talking about, Hey, these guys can actually sit and learn

533
00:21:16,788 --> 00:21:18,348
Speaker 6: and develop because.

534
00:21:18,228 --> 00:21:20,068
Speaker 4: You cannot remove Sam Darnold. You can't.

535
00:21:20,108 --> 00:21:21,708
Speaker 6: You can And I know Jamie you probably I know

536
00:21:21,748 --> 00:21:23,468
Speaker 6: you feel the same way when you have somebody who's

537
00:21:23,468 --> 00:21:26,188
Speaker 6: out there not only performing, but actually leading your team

538
00:21:26,388 --> 00:21:29,468
Speaker 6: to victories and everybody is really following his suit. You

539
00:21:29,548 --> 00:21:31,588
Speaker 6: can't remove that person from that position simply because of

540
00:21:31,628 --> 00:21:33,068
Speaker 6: the fact that you have a young gun who got

541
00:21:33,148 --> 00:21:33,668
Speaker 6: drafted high.

542
00:21:34,548 --> 00:21:34,668
Speaker 7: Ron.

543
00:21:34,708 --> 00:21:35,388
Speaker 2: It's great to see you.

544
00:21:37,188 --> 00:21:37,428

Speaker 2: He's fascinating. It must fascinate you.

546
00:21:39,508 --> 00:21:41,348
Speaker 9: It does fascinate the heck out of me, just because

547
00:21:41,348 --> 00:21:43,588
Speaker 9: who coaches. I mean, you know, if he did do it,

548
00:21:43,868 --> 00:21:45,508
Speaker 9: he's got a reason why he wants to do it.

549
00:21:46,068 --> 00:21:47,908
Speaker 4: Well, Ron's the coach. He has a vested interests, right,

550
00:21:51,108 --> 00:21:51,668
Speaker 4: he likes it.

551
00:21:51,748 --> 00:21:54,148
Speaker 2: All right, we'll be right back on GMFP. We've got

552

554
00:22:02,468 --> 00:22:04,668
Speaker 2: teams that are in the fight, that are hunting for

555
00:22:04,788 --> 00:22:07,548
Speaker 2: something come January and got to look at the Colts

556
00:22:07,588 --> 00:22:09,468

00:22:19,668 --> 00:22:23,828

561
00:22:23,948 --> 00:22:26,988
Speaker 2: matchup coming against the Broncos, who have kind of felt

562
00:22:27,028 --> 00:22:29,788
Speaker 2: the same way all season long. What's going on with

563
00:22:29,908 --> 00:22:32,948
Speaker 2: your team lately, that would imply that this weekend you

564
00:22:33,028 --> 00:22:35,148
Speaker 2: could best a team that you are both jockeying for

565
00:22:35,228 --> 00:22:36,188
Speaker 2: position in the playoffs.

566
00:22:38,228 --> 00:22:39,828
Speaker 7: I would say it just comes down to focus.

567
00:22:40,388 --> 00:22:40,548
Speaker 4: You know.

568
00:22:40,988 --> 00:22:43,108
Speaker 10: Coach Shane comes in and you know, talks about just

569
00:22:43,268 --> 00:22:44,428
Speaker 10: you know, relentless focus.

573
00:22:52,188 --> 00:22:54,668
Speaker 10: then we go out there and execute at a high level.

574
00:22:55,308 --> 00:22:57,188
Speaker 10: So I think that you know, that's that's been the

575
00:22:57,228 --> 00:22:59,748
Speaker 10: message from from day one. And you know, now that

Speaker 6: Hey, Nick, last time we saw you on the field, Man,

582
00:23:06,748 --> 00:23:08,988
Speaker 6: you got your first career sack. You went I hed

583
00:23:09,028 --> 00:23:10,308
Speaker 6: to put your team in position to go out there

584
00:23:10,308 --> 00:23:11,068
Speaker 6: and win the ball game.

585
00:23:11,188 --> 00:23:12,948
Speaker 4: Take us through what that play was like.

586
00:23:13,028 --> 00:23:14,948
Speaker 6: Take us through emotions, man, and tell us how that

587
00:23:15,028 --> 00:23:15,548
Speaker 6: made you feel.

588
00:23:17,548 --> 00:23:20,148
Speaker 10: It was actually pretty cool, you know, just you know,

589
00:23:20,308 --> 00:23:22,228
Speaker 10: doing my coverage, you know, seeing the quarterbacks that up

590
00:23:22,228 --> 00:23:23,908
Speaker 10: in the pocket and you know, you slid, So he

591
00:23:24,068 --> 00:23:25,508
Speaker 10: made it pretty easy for me to just get the

592
00:23:25,548 --> 00:23:27,468
Speaker 10: tag down and get the sack. But you know, the

593
00:23:27,588 --> 00:23:28,948
Speaker 10: end of the day of sack as a sack. So

594
00:23:30,028 --> 00:23:31,868
Speaker 10: it was it was exciting to get my first one

595
00:23:31,988 --> 00:23:33,428

Speaker 10: You know, how how to fit in the run, how

609
00:24:05,628 --> 00:24:08,068

Speaker 10: go out there and be successful.

611
00:24:09,748 --> 00:24:11,788
Speaker 4: You know Ej as well. You know, someone who just

612
00:24:11,868 --> 00:24:13,188
Speaker 4: plays with a reckless abandonment.

613
00:24:14,108 --> 00:24:15,908
Speaker 10: They you know, helped me to go out there and

614

Speaker 10: to go out there and just go out there, fly

616
00:24:19,428 --> 00:24:20,748

Speaker 5: to the gms around the league, and you were amazing.

629
00:24:48,388 --> 00:24:50,228
Speaker 4: Take a look back twenty twenty two, you on the show.

630
00:24:50,708 --> 00:24:51,028
Speaker 3: All right.

631
00:24:51,228 --> 00:24:54,268
Speaker 10: So from a defensive standpoint, I feel like my letticism

632
00:24:54,348 --> 00:24:56,708
Speaker 10: in my skill set allows me to fit into any

633
00:24:56,988 --> 00:24:59,668
Speaker 10: any defensive scheme that I go into and fit anywhere

634
00:24:59,708 --> 00:25:00,628
Speaker 10: in that defensive scheme.

635
00:25:00,788 --> 00:25:01,388
Speaker 4: I'm in the post.

636
00:25:01,428 --> 00:25:04,388
Speaker 10: I play sideline, the sideline literally from one side line

637
00:25:04,428 --> 00:25:07,468
Speaker 10: into the next. White play in the box. You want

638
00:25:07,468 --> 00:25:08,908
Speaker 10: to roll me down to the box. I understand the

639
00:25:08,948 --> 00:25:11,108
Speaker 10: run game, be able to go and recavoc in the

640
00:25:11,188 --> 00:25:13,148
Speaker 10: box and have a lot of times for loss and

641
00:25:13,668 --> 00:25:15,308
Speaker 10: stop the run. If you want to put me a

642
00:25:15,388 --> 00:25:18,068
Speaker 10: man coverage. I do well against tight ends and slot receivers,

643
00:25:18,588 --> 00:25:20,868
Speaker 10: and even in blitzing, I feel like I'm a great blitzer.

644
00:25:21,228 --> 00:25:23,468
Speaker 10: I understand snap counts, I understand how to to blitz

645
00:25:23,508 --> 00:25:25,868
Speaker 10: off the edge, blitzing in the different gaps, how the

646
00:25:25,988 --> 00:25:29,668
Speaker 10: offensive line slides here and there. On special teams, I'm

647
00:25:29,668 --> 00:25:32,668
Speaker 10: an all four special teams guy. I've played multiple special

648
00:25:32,708 --> 00:25:35,268
Speaker 10: teams throughout my career in Maryland, multiple positions on multiple

649
00:25:35,268 --> 00:25:38,828
Speaker 10: special teams, and I've just been able to make a

650
00:25:38,908 --> 00:25:40,148
Speaker 10: niche there and play at a high level.

651
00:25:40,948 --> 00:25:42,348
Speaker 4: It's incredibly thorough.

652
00:25:42,468 --> 00:25:44,068
Speaker 5: And I got to tell you in the audience, we

653
00:25:44,188 --> 00:25:47,468
Speaker 5: cut that down like they was way longer and way

654
00:25:47,588 --> 00:25:48,108
Speaker 5: more thorough.

655
00:25:48,388 --> 00:25:51,508
Speaker 4: You're still selling yourself and it worked. When you're sitting

656
00:25:51,548 --> 00:25:52,188
Speaker 4: here now and now.

657
00:25:52,148 --> 00:25:54,948
Speaker 5: You're making plays in the league, interceptions and sacks, you're

658
00:25:54,948 --> 00:25:56,828
Speaker 5: trying to get to the playoff. What's it like for

659
00:25:56,908 --> 00:25:59,668
Speaker 5: you to look back on your own analysis of yourself

660
00:25:59,708 --> 00:26:00,428
Speaker 5: coming out of college.

661
00:26:02,668 --> 00:26:03,468
Speaker 7: It's crazy.

662
00:26:03,548 --> 00:26:05,428
Speaker 10: It's one of those things where you know at the

663
00:26:05,508 --> 00:26:07,508
Speaker 10: time you look at it and you know you say

664
00:26:07,548 --> 00:26:09,748
Speaker 10: stuff like all right, like that's cool, but you know

665
00:26:09,868 --> 00:26:11,668
Speaker 10: to see that it's you know, coming to fruition, you know,

666
00:26:12,188 --> 00:26:15,588
Speaker 10: from the hard work and the dedication. It's always fun

667
00:26:15,668 --> 00:26:18,628
Speaker 10: to see, you know, I can't even believe that was

668
00:26:18,668 --> 00:26:20,748
Speaker 10: two years ago that you know, I made though I

669
00:26:20,828 --> 00:26:22,908
Speaker 10: said those things, but you know, at the end of

670
00:26:22,908 --> 00:26:24,428
Speaker 10: the day, looking back, you know, there's been a lot

671
00:26:24,468 --> 00:26:26,508
Speaker 10: of growth, a lot of you know, hard work, dedication

672
00:26:26,668 --> 00:26:28,948
Speaker 10: from that point, and you know, I'm happy that it's

673
00:26:28,948 --> 00:26:29,548
Speaker 10: paying off now.

674
00:26:30,348 --> 00:26:32,508
Speaker 6: Nick Man, I'm never gonna, never gonna come at you

675
00:26:32,748 --> 00:26:34,148
Speaker 6: wrong for being your own hype man.

676
00:26:34,148 --> 00:26:36,108
Speaker 4: I love it right about that. I got to gash

677
00:26:36,148 --> 00:26:36,668
Speaker 4: yourself up.

678
00:26:36,708 --> 00:26:38,868
Speaker 6: But I have to ask you about your the athletic

679
00:26:38,948 --> 00:26:40,868
Speaker 6: specimen of a QB one that you have over there,

680
00:26:40,868 --> 00:26:42,828
Speaker 6: Anthony Anthony Richardson.

681
00:26:43,388 --> 00:26:45,548
Speaker 4: Obviously, he's had his adversity that he faced this year, right,

682
00:26:45,588 --> 00:26:45,868
Speaker 4: he was a.

683
00:26:45,868 --> 00:26:48,068
Speaker 6: Starter, then he got benched right because of the performance

684
00:26:48,108 --> 00:26:49,588
Speaker 6: and some of the other things that took place.

685
00:26:49,788 --> 00:26:51,668
Speaker 4: But then he's back in the starting position.

686
00:26:52,028 --> 00:26:54,388
Speaker 6: What have you seen in that transformation and that development

687
00:26:54,508 --> 00:26:57,028
Speaker 6: during that period of time in him since he's reclaimed

688
00:26:57,028 --> 00:26:57,748
Speaker 6: his starting position.

689
00:26:59,028 --> 00:27:01,468
Speaker 10: I think it's just a different fire, different hunger. I

690
00:27:01,548 --> 00:27:03,308
Speaker 10: feel like, you know, he's gone in you know, he

691
00:27:03,428 --> 00:27:06,308
Speaker 10: puts in the work. You know, he's he's really eager

692
00:27:06,348 --> 00:27:08,468
Speaker 10: to learn, a hungry guy, and you know, at the

693
00:27:08,588 --> 00:27:10,188
Speaker 10: end of day, just goes out there now and just

694
00:27:10,308 --> 00:27:12,068
Speaker 10: you know, doesn't think, just go out of there that

695
00:27:12,188 --> 00:27:15,428
Speaker 10: letters of show and and and wins games for us.

696
00:27:15,868 --> 00:27:17,988
Speaker 10: You know, I can't imagine being the defender out there

697
00:27:18,028 --> 00:27:20,468
Speaker 10: trying to tackle him, you know, on the perimeter or

698
00:27:20,748 --> 00:27:22,868
Speaker 10: you know, running between the tackles. But you know, a

699
00:27:22,908 --> 00:27:26,388
Speaker 10: great guy, great leader, someone who you know, we feel like,

700
00:27:26,668 --> 00:27:28,068
Speaker 10: you know, when he's in the game, we're never out

701
00:27:28,068 --> 00:27:30,748
Speaker 10: of it. So hats off to him to you know,

702
00:27:30,908 --> 00:27:34,588
Speaker 10: stay stay poised, stay committed, and you know it's definitely

703
00:27:34,628 --> 00:27:35,108
Speaker 10: paying off.

704
00:27:35,788 --> 00:27:37,868
Speaker 2: Your team's really coming together, Nick. And one of the

705
00:27:37,948 --> 00:27:40,068
Speaker 2: things we love about Colts players when you come on

706
00:27:40,308 --> 00:27:42,748
Speaker 2: is the buy in that their ursa family wants you

707
00:27:42,828 --> 00:27:45,988
Speaker 2: guys to have to kicking the stigma. It's a campaign

708
00:27:46,068 --> 00:27:48,468
Speaker 2: that we hear about all the time out of Indianapolis.

709
00:27:48,828 --> 00:27:53,108
Speaker 2: It fights and raises mental health awareness, which is massively important,

710
00:27:53,188 --> 00:27:56,748
Speaker 2: especially amongst athletes these days. You made this organization as

711
00:27:56,748 --> 00:27:59,348
Speaker 2: a part of your mind Cause Mike Cleats initiative this month.

712
00:27:59,388 --> 00:28:01,428
Speaker 2: Why is it so important to you specifically?

713
00:28:03,428 --> 00:28:05,388
Speaker 10: I alwould say, just you know, to let everybody know

714
00:28:05,508 --> 00:28:07,668
Speaker 10: that you know it's okay. You know not everything's going

715
00:28:07,708 --> 00:28:09,068
Speaker 10: to always go right in your life. You know the

716
00:28:09,228 --> 00:28:11,628
Speaker 10: things that are going to bring you down, but you

717
00:28:11,708 --> 00:28:13,548
Speaker 10: know there are people there that are there for you.

718
00:28:13,668 --> 00:28:16,068
Speaker 10: You know, family, friends, you know, people around you to

719
00:28:16,348 --> 00:28:18,828
Speaker 10: help uplift you, and you don't have to go through

720
00:28:18,828 --> 00:28:21,308
Speaker 10: it by yourself. I feel like it's just one of

721
00:28:21,348 --> 00:28:23,628
Speaker 10: those things that you know. I feel like certain people

722
00:28:23,748 --> 00:28:26,628
Speaker 10: feel like, you know, no one might not understand what

723
00:28:26,668 --> 00:28:29,148
Speaker 10: they're saying or what they're going through, but you know,

724
00:28:29,548 --> 00:28:31,668
Speaker 10: people know what you're going through. People can be there

725
00:28:31,748 --> 00:28:33,508
Speaker 10: for you, and at the end of the day, you

726
00:28:33,588 --> 00:28:35,868
Speaker 10: have a support system around you. So I feel like

727
00:28:35,868 --> 00:28:37,188
Speaker 10: that's why it's important.

728
00:28:37,028 --> 00:28:40,428
Speaker 2: And positive self talk would qualify as that. Nick Cross,

729
00:28:40,588 --> 00:28:46,148
Speaker 2: we appreciate, stay well, go down the stretch, thanks for joining.

730

Speaker 2: Thank you absolutely, Nick Cross. Everybody looking at them delivering
