1 00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,628 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in 2 00:00:06,708 --> 00:00:29,628 Speaker 1: partnership with Iheartradioya. Welcome to Good Morning Football, present of 3 00:00:29,628 --> 00:00:31,548 Speaker 1: my old trapper Beech Jerky. We're live here in New 4 00:00:31,628 --> 00:00:34,588 Speaker 1: York City. It's Wednesday, November two. Turning the page on 5 00:00:34,628 --> 00:00:37,228 Speaker 1: another week of football Wednesday has become my own official 6 00:00:37,268 --> 00:00:40,188 Speaker 1: page turn. I'm Jamie Arnold. It's Kyle Rant, Peter Schreeger, 7 00:00:40,508 --> 00:00:45,508 Speaker 1: and Jason mccordy. Let's do it, Lee Black Trade deadline team. 8 00:00:45,588 --> 00:00:48,508 Speaker 1: I went yesterday, but on Monday, Mike McDaniel handed out 9 00:00:48,988 --> 00:00:52,348 Speaker 1: a Halloween trick. This will be good. Tomorrow is the 10 00:00:52,628 --> 00:01:00,108 Speaker 1: crazy deadline. Do you anticipate any movement by you guys? 11 00:01:00,908 --> 00:01:07,988 Speaker 1: There's a deadline? Oh man, I'm terrible deadline. Clearly Michael 12 00:01:08,028 --> 00:01:09,708 Speaker 1: Daniel didn't hand a couple of papers in on time 13 00:01:09,748 --> 00:01:13,108 Speaker 1: at college. Thinks got better for Michael Daniel when it 14 00:01:13,148 --> 00:01:16,228 Speaker 1: comes to deadlines, because twelve players were traded yesterday, the 15 00:01:16,228 --> 00:01:18,708 Speaker 1: most on deadline day in the last thirty years, and 16 00:01:18,748 --> 00:01:23,068 Speaker 1: that includes Bradley Chubb, Jeff Wilson Junior to the Dolphins. 17 00:01:23,588 --> 00:01:25,508 Speaker 1: For more on a crazy day of trades, Let's bring 18 00:01:25,508 --> 00:01:27,988 Speaker 1: in our NFL network insider, Ian Rappaport. That is a 19 00:01:28,068 --> 00:01:30,308 Speaker 1: great list of names and it no you know, it 20 00:01:30,428 --> 00:01:33,588 Speaker 1: kept rap sheet busy all day yesterday. But let's focus 21 00:01:33,628 --> 00:01:36,428 Speaker 1: on South BHN and what went down in Miami. To 22 00:01:36,468 --> 00:01:39,748 Speaker 1: bolster their roster, they acquired Bradley Chubb, one of the 23 00:01:39,788 --> 00:01:42,348 Speaker 1: top players to change teams during the trade deadline, for 24 00:01:42,428 --> 00:01:45,468 Speaker 1: these small price of a first round pick, obviously not theirs. 25 00:01:45,508 --> 00:01:48,228 Speaker 1: They didn't have one, but they had San Francisco's going 26 00:01:48,268 --> 00:01:50,508 Speaker 1: all the way back to two years to a pre 27 00:01:50,748 --> 00:01:53,588 Speaker 1: draft trade. So what they did was they took all 28 00:01:53,628 --> 00:01:55,628 Speaker 1: of that. They took the first rounder, they took a 29 00:01:55,708 --> 00:01:59,628 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four fourth rounder, and Chase Edmonds send them 30 00:01:59,668 --> 00:02:01,508 Speaker 1: to the Denver Broncos, who of course also had a 31 00:02:01,588 --> 00:02:04,948 Speaker 1: running back need also wanted pigs back from the Russell 32 00:02:04,948 --> 00:02:09,228 Speaker 1: Wilson deal, and they also trade was old two hundred 33 00:02:09,588 --> 00:02:12,628 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five fifth rounder. A lot of picks went 34 00:02:13,068 --> 00:02:16,028 Speaker 1: back and forth. The most notable thing that happened Bradley Chubb, 35 00:02:16,348 --> 00:02:19,748 Speaker 1: a big time pass rusher, lands with the Miami Dolphins. 36 00:02:19,748 --> 00:02:21,948 Speaker 1: They also traded for Jeff Wilson, by the way, from 37 00:02:21,948 --> 00:02:24,668 Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners to fill a hole. They 38 00:02:24,708 --> 00:02:27,308 Speaker 1: had it running back. A fifth rounder goes there. So 39 00:02:27,348 --> 00:02:29,908 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, who have never been shy about trading picks 40 00:02:29,908 --> 00:02:33,148 Speaker 1: for premium players, load up an attempt to make a 41 00:02:33,268 --> 00:02:35,628 Speaker 1: run at this thing. They were not the only team 42 00:02:35,628 --> 00:02:39,588 Speaker 1: that was active. The Chicago Bears were actually buyers. Remember 43 00:02:39,588 --> 00:02:41,108 Speaker 1: we've talked for the best couple of weeks about the 44 00:02:41,108 --> 00:02:44,828 Speaker 1: Bears being sellers. Robert Quinn was one, Roquan Smith was another. 45 00:02:44,868 --> 00:02:48,428 Speaker 1: They actually bought on Chase Claypool, setting their own second 46 00:02:48,508 --> 00:02:51,548 Speaker 1: round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers for Claypool. It was 47 00:02:51,588 --> 00:02:54,708 Speaker 1: pretty clear Claypool was not going to stay in Pittsburgh. 48 00:02:55,108 --> 00:02:57,388 Speaker 1: Stade's fair to say he had weren't out his welcome 49 00:02:57,388 --> 00:02:59,308 Speaker 1: a little bit. That thing was not going to happen. 50 00:02:59,628 --> 00:03:02,188 Speaker 1: And then the Bears made an offer they the Steelers 51 00:03:02,188 --> 00:03:05,548 Speaker 1: could not refuse, so Chase Claypool on the move to Chicago. 52 00:03:06,948 --> 00:03:09,948 Speaker 1: I and my goodness, it was like Christmas for you yesterday. 53 00:03:09,988 --> 00:03:11,628 Speaker 1: We are happy for you, but now we have to 54 00:03:11,668 --> 00:03:13,868 Speaker 1: move on with regular old headlines throughout the rest of 55 00:03:13,868 --> 00:03:16,188 Speaker 1: the season. It feels like a new day in the NFL. 56 00:03:16,268 --> 00:03:19,348 Speaker 1: The landscape has shifted for a handful of teams after 57 00:03:19,468 --> 00:03:22,428 Speaker 1: yesterday's action, Peter, if you have to pick a most 58 00:03:22,468 --> 00:03:27,188 Speaker 1: intriguing storyline, team direction and after the trade deadline, where 59 00:03:27,188 --> 00:03:28,268 Speaker 1: do you take up a lot because a lot of 60 00:03:28,268 --> 00:03:29,868 Speaker 1: teams made deals on other teams sat on their hands 61 00:03:29,868 --> 00:03:32,108 Speaker 1: and what do you do. I'm going with Miami. We're 62 00:03:32,108 --> 00:03:35,108 Speaker 1: I just left. I think the Dolphins made a statement 63 00:03:35,148 --> 00:03:36,628 Speaker 1: that hey, we're here for this thing, and it is 64 00:03:36,668 --> 00:03:38,548 Speaker 1: not just us looking to make the playoffs. We're here 65 00:03:38,588 --> 00:03:40,588 Speaker 1: to do something in the playoffs. You go and trade 66 00:03:40,588 --> 00:03:42,788 Speaker 1: for Bradley Chubb who's in the final year of a contract, 67 00:03:42,788 --> 00:03:44,508 Speaker 1: and he's looking to make you know, one of those 68 00:03:44,588 --> 00:03:48,308 Speaker 1: monster deals. You're doing this because you see a window 69 00:03:48,388 --> 00:03:51,148 Speaker 1: right now. They did this in March, remember, and they 70 00:03:51,148 --> 00:03:53,788 Speaker 1: went and got Tyreek Hill. They this in March. Remember 71 00:03:53,788 --> 00:03:56,548 Speaker 1: when they went and got toront Armstead. This in March 72 00:03:56,588 --> 00:03:59,308 Speaker 1: when they went ahead and they said, we're playing for now, 73 00:03:59,428 --> 00:04:01,668 Speaker 1: We're not playing for five years from now. We are 74 00:04:01,668 --> 00:04:05,028 Speaker 1: going to support two on offense. Here's the play on defense. 75 00:04:05,148 --> 00:04:08,268 Speaker 1: Chubb traded for their loan first round pick, which they 76 00:04:08,308 --> 00:04:10,828 Speaker 1: got of course in a previous deal for the Trey 77 00:04:10,948 --> 00:04:12,988 Speaker 1: Lance pick. Of eventually that would end up being I 78 00:04:12,988 --> 00:04:16,988 Speaker 1: would say this, this, this Miami team. Seize the Josh Allens, 79 00:04:16,988 --> 00:04:20,708 Speaker 1: Seze the Patrick Mahomes seze, Lamar Jacksons, seize the Joe Burrow, 80 00:04:20,748 --> 00:04:22,988 Speaker 1: seize the Justin Herberts. They said, our pass rush just 81 00:04:23,388 --> 00:04:26,188 Speaker 1: is not good enough yet, let's get ourselves a guy 82 00:04:26,228 --> 00:04:28,348 Speaker 1: who is an elite pass rusher. Bradley Chimp could be that. 83 00:04:28,388 --> 00:04:31,148 Speaker 1: And I mentioned the Trey Lands deal. They traded pick 84 00:04:31,228 --> 00:04:33,108 Speaker 1: back to get so the Timper is gonna move up. 85 00:04:33,348 --> 00:04:35,188 Speaker 1: Look at some of the players that they've gotten out 86 00:04:35,228 --> 00:04:37,548 Speaker 1: of this deal. The twenty twenty one first round pick 87 00:04:37,588 --> 00:04:40,068 Speaker 1: ended up being Jail and Waddle, the twenty twenty two 88 00:04:40,068 --> 00:04:42,388 Speaker 1: first round pick in a instituitous way, ended up being 89 00:04:42,428 --> 00:04:45,028 Speaker 1: Tyreek Kill because they would swap that but Tyreek. And 90 00:04:45,068 --> 00:04:47,188 Speaker 1: then the twenty twenty three first round pick ends up 91 00:04:47,188 --> 00:04:50,268 Speaker 1: being Bradley Chubb Trey Lance, heck of a college product. 92 00:04:50,308 --> 00:04:51,828 Speaker 1: I don't know if they were ever gonna get that 93 00:04:51,988 --> 00:04:54,308 Speaker 1: out of that deal. So I look at the Dolphins. 94 00:04:54,348 --> 00:04:56,868 Speaker 1: They are the ones who have maximized only the Tunzel trade, 95 00:04:56,868 --> 00:04:59,588 Speaker 1: but now this trade, and I think they're here to 96 00:04:59,628 --> 00:05:01,668 Speaker 1: play and they're not looking to just get to the playoffs. 97 00:05:01,668 --> 00:05:03,148 Speaker 1: I think they want to win the AFC, and I 98 00:05:03,148 --> 00:05:05,228 Speaker 1: respect it. They're all in. I love that down to 99 00:05:05,308 --> 00:05:08,188 Speaker 1: South Beach, they're trying to get championships. For me. I 100 00:05:08,268 --> 00:05:10,428 Speaker 1: looked at the Minnesota Vikings. This is a team that's 101 00:05:10,468 --> 00:05:13,068 Speaker 1: sitting at six and one the performing well, they're the 102 00:05:13,108 --> 00:05:15,508 Speaker 1: top of their division. And they didn't just hang tight. 103 00:05:15,548 --> 00:05:17,268 Speaker 1: They didn't just say, hey, we're fine, we're gonna roll 104 00:05:17,308 --> 00:05:19,508 Speaker 1: with what we got. They went and got when got TJ. 105 00:05:19,668 --> 00:05:21,988 Speaker 1: Hawkins at that tight end. Yes, they have Justin Jefferson, 106 00:05:21,988 --> 00:05:25,588 Speaker 1: they have Dalvin Cook, kJ Osborne has become a solidified receiver, 107 00:05:25,628 --> 00:05:28,428 Speaker 1: and then we all know Adam Dealing the consistent veteran 108 00:05:28,468 --> 00:05:30,588 Speaker 1: as there on offense. But they were like, we need 109 00:05:30,628 --> 00:05:33,388 Speaker 1: some production out of our tight ends. We haven't gotten 110 00:05:33,388 --> 00:05:36,228 Speaker 1: that and we're still winning games. Let's go get Hackinson, 111 00:05:36,268 --> 00:05:38,988 Speaker 1: a guy that's made plays this season, was a high 112 00:05:39,068 --> 00:05:42,108 Speaker 1: round draft pick for Detroit, and now he goes over 113 00:05:42,148 --> 00:05:46,748 Speaker 1: to Minnesota and in division trade to their arrival, and 114 00:05:46,788 --> 00:05:49,068 Speaker 1: he has an opportunity to step up big and be 115 00:05:49,148 --> 00:05:52,588 Speaker 1: another outlet for Kirk Cousins. So far, they haven't gotten 116 00:05:52,628 --> 00:05:55,588 Speaker 1: anything from their titles twenty six and receiving yards and 117 00:05:55,828 --> 00:05:58,828 Speaker 1: last and yards per catch. Let's see where TJ. Hockinson 118 00:05:58,868 --> 00:06:01,748 Speaker 1: shows up in yards per catch amongst tight ends throughout 119 00:06:01,788 --> 00:06:04,668 Speaker 1: the NFL. He sits at the top of that, and 120 00:06:04,748 --> 00:06:06,908 Speaker 1: you see where the Vikings are at the very bottom 121 00:06:06,988 --> 00:06:10,228 Speaker 1: seven point three yards. He's doubling that. So this is 122 00:06:10,268 --> 00:06:12,708 Speaker 1: a weapon that will be inserted in their offense, a 123 00:06:12,788 --> 00:06:15,988 Speaker 1: team that is performing really well right now, adding another 124 00:06:16,308 --> 00:06:18,228 Speaker 1: weapon for Kirk Cousins to be able to get the 125 00:06:18,268 --> 00:06:21,668 Speaker 1: ball out and make plays not only underneath, but downfield 126 00:06:21,708 --> 00:06:23,708 Speaker 1: because Hogginson is good once he gets the ball in 127 00:06:23,748 --> 00:06:25,908 Speaker 1: his hands as well. And remember the Vikings head to 128 00:06:25,948 --> 00:06:28,348 Speaker 1: list IRV Smith Junior on IR yesterday out eight to 129 00:06:28,428 --> 00:06:30,468 Speaker 1: ten weeks in the ankle injury, and that news came 130 00:06:30,588 --> 00:06:33,348 Speaker 1: after the trade is solidified. They have the best offensive 131 00:06:33,388 --> 00:06:35,468 Speaker 1: huddle in the league. That's that's the one at Cincinnati. 132 00:06:35,468 --> 00:06:37,588 Speaker 1: I hear you and everything. That's the best offensive huddle 133 00:06:37,588 --> 00:06:39,068 Speaker 1: in the league. And I want to talk about the Bears. 134 00:06:39,108 --> 00:06:41,268 Speaker 1: Interesting stuff with Chicago. Yesterday I sat here and said, 135 00:06:41,308 --> 00:06:43,228 Speaker 1: I'm a fan of GM Ryan Pols. I like what 136 00:06:43,268 --> 00:06:45,548 Speaker 1: he's doing, and then yesterday happened, and I'm a bigger 137 00:06:45,548 --> 00:06:48,868 Speaker 1: fan of because here's the deal. Everybody wants to scream 138 00:06:48,908 --> 00:06:51,028 Speaker 1: and scream, how do you not get justin Field's help? 139 00:06:51,068 --> 00:06:52,388 Speaker 1: You have to help him? What are you doing? What 140 00:06:52,428 --> 00:06:54,388 Speaker 1: are you doing? And then they go and get Chase 141 00:06:54,468 --> 00:06:56,228 Speaker 1: clay Point. It's like, what are you doing? Why would 142 00:06:56,268 --> 00:06:58,628 Speaker 1: you get Chase that second round pick? Just doing what 143 00:06:58,668 --> 00:07:00,588 Speaker 1: you just said to do. He sat down yesterday, he 144 00:07:00,588 --> 00:07:03,828 Speaker 1: answered all the questions. Talked about the Roquan thing. He said, look, Roquan, 145 00:07:03,868 --> 00:07:04,988 Speaker 1: we were not going to meet in the middle. He 146 00:07:05,028 --> 00:07:06,548 Speaker 1: doesn't have an agent, and I think he was gonna 147 00:07:06,588 --> 00:07:07,868 Speaker 1: leave at the end of the year and we get nothing. 148 00:07:07,908 --> 00:07:10,108 Speaker 1: So we made it a deal. Now, Chase Claypool, why 149 00:07:10,108 --> 00:07:11,748 Speaker 1: do spend a second round pick? Because we had nine 150 00:07:11,788 --> 00:07:13,628 Speaker 1: picks and that was the choice. And here's the deal. 151 00:07:13,748 --> 00:07:15,748 Speaker 1: Everyone's saying, but your deal with the Bears was you 152 00:07:15,788 --> 00:07:17,468 Speaker 1: were going to keep all these picks and it's gonna 153 00:07:17,468 --> 00:07:19,108 Speaker 1: be the draft and it's gonna be free agent. He's like, 154 00:07:19,188 --> 00:07:21,468 Speaker 1: it is. But we have nine games left to play 155 00:07:21,548 --> 00:07:22,948 Speaker 1: this year. We have to play the Bills, we have 156 00:07:22,988 --> 00:07:24,868 Speaker 1: to play the Eagles. We have to get our quarterback 157 00:07:24,868 --> 00:07:26,988 Speaker 1: through this season in one piece, Like, we need to 158 00:07:27,028 --> 00:07:29,828 Speaker 1: get him something to help him. They got a big, strong, 159 00:07:29,868 --> 00:07:31,868 Speaker 1: massive wide receiver with I think a chip on his shoulder, 160 00:07:31,908 --> 00:07:34,388 Speaker 1: and I like it. And in terms of GMFB business, 161 00:07:34,748 --> 00:07:37,788 Speaker 1: really interesting developments here in the Good Morning Football program 162 00:07:37,788 --> 00:07:39,948 Speaker 1: as it pertains to Angry Runs. You might remember if 163 00:07:39,948 --> 00:07:43,348 Speaker 1: you saw the segment yesterday, Chase Claypool won Angry Runs 164 00:07:43,388 --> 00:07:45,908 Speaker 1: as a Steeler, and here's how we ended it. Chase 165 00:07:45,948 --> 00:07:48,668 Speaker 1: Claypool is gonna win the Angry Runs scepter. Should we 166 00:07:48,708 --> 00:07:52,188 Speaker 1: send it to Pittsburgh or maybe do we wait and 167 00:07:52,468 --> 00:07:55,428 Speaker 1: send it somewhere else. Chase Claypool, if that was your 168 00:07:55,468 --> 00:07:58,028 Speaker 1: last game as a Steeler, this is your first moment 169 00:07:58,028 --> 00:08:00,668 Speaker 1: with a scepter. You want it, you deserve it. We 170 00:08:00,708 --> 00:08:04,948 Speaker 1: will find out where we're sending it, Okay, So that 171 00:08:05,028 --> 00:08:08,428 Speaker 1: happens he becomes a Bear. I was in contact with 172 00:08:08,428 --> 00:08:11,788 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears organization yesterday. They're like, we got the 173 00:08:11,868 --> 00:08:17,588 Speaker 1: first priority. He directed the FedEx from Pittsburgh. Who's Chicago, 174 00:08:17,908 --> 00:08:19,828 Speaker 1: and the Bears are saying, we got you. As soon 175 00:08:19,868 --> 00:08:21,428 Speaker 1: as it gets here. As soon as Chase gets here, 176 00:08:21,508 --> 00:08:23,708 Speaker 1: we're read up. We'll send it. They're ready. So like 177 00:08:23,748 --> 00:08:26,628 Speaker 1: they're excited, and Bears fans, I think you should be too, 178 00:08:26,868 --> 00:08:29,948 Speaker 1: ye meet coach Aberflus and also can you do a 179 00:08:29,948 --> 00:08:33,788 Speaker 1: photo shooting scepter if you can get a video too. 180 00:08:34,508 --> 00:08:37,468 Speaker 1: If you have this thing here, all right, here you go, 181 00:08:37,668 --> 00:08:39,548 Speaker 1: he'll be ready. So I need him to get off 182 00:08:39,588 --> 00:08:42,348 Speaker 1: the plane at O'Hare with the scepter holding his name 183 00:08:42,468 --> 00:08:46,468 Speaker 1: like Chase Claypool. That's the side that'll be a baggage. 184 00:08:46,468 --> 00:08:49,148 Speaker 1: We welcome scepter. I like this half the table is 185 00:08:49,268 --> 00:08:52,548 Speaker 1: very much like bolstering teams that are going to have 186 00:08:52,588 --> 00:08:54,388 Speaker 1: a lot of success this season. This side is a 187 00:08:54,428 --> 00:08:56,188 Speaker 1: little bit more like, let's fix the problem now, but 188 00:08:56,268 --> 00:08:58,148 Speaker 1: also in the future. And that's where I'm going because 189 00:08:58,188 --> 00:09:00,428 Speaker 1: the most intriguing to me is not going to happen 190 00:09:00,468 --> 00:09:03,948 Speaker 1: this season. Because Calvin Ridley is still suspended the entirety 191 00:09:03,988 --> 00:09:06,188 Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty two season, he is allowed to 192 00:09:06,188 --> 00:09:09,548 Speaker 1: apply for reinstatement in February of next year to go 193 00:09:09,628 --> 00:09:12,708 Speaker 1: to Jacksonville. Of course, Calvin Ridley was with the Falcons 194 00:09:12,948 --> 00:09:15,388 Speaker 1: and he had some great ears with the Falcons. Matt 195 00:09:15,428 --> 00:09:17,628 Speaker 1: Ryan made him look really good. Those two are growing together. 196 00:09:17,708 --> 00:09:20,308 Speaker 1: But listen, the times have changed in Atlanta. Who knows 197 00:09:20,308 --> 00:09:22,268 Speaker 1: who their quarterback is going to be moving forward. Their 198 00:09:22,268 --> 00:09:26,428 Speaker 1: coaching regime has changed, gms have changed. Calvin Ridley didn't 199 00:09:26,428 --> 00:09:28,348 Speaker 1: feel like he had a spot in the room anymore. 200 00:09:28,428 --> 00:09:30,908 Speaker 1: And he was talked about last year when he was 201 00:09:30,908 --> 00:09:33,228 Speaker 1: away from the team being traded. Teams were interested. I 202 00:09:33,228 --> 00:09:35,788 Speaker 1: read that Jacksonville was one of those teams. So now 203 00:09:35,868 --> 00:09:39,668 Speaker 1: a year later, Jacksonville interested again. Doug Peterson a new coach, 204 00:09:39,708 --> 00:09:43,668 Speaker 1: but he's interested again. And if he returned to Jacksonville 205 00:09:43,668 --> 00:09:47,468 Speaker 1: next season, Trevor Lawrence, he's playing into his potential. I 206 00:09:47,548 --> 00:09:50,188 Speaker 1: believe this is a quarterback that is growing. And if 207 00:09:50,228 --> 00:09:54,068 Speaker 1: you have Christian Kirk and Calvin Ridley on an offense 208 00:09:54,148 --> 00:09:57,668 Speaker 1: moving for forward and Travis a ten, this could be really, 209 00:09:57,708 --> 00:10:00,748 Speaker 1: really exciting for Jacksonville. This is a young wide receiver 210 00:10:01,028 --> 00:10:04,948 Speaker 1: twenty seven years old, who was playing great, who's really great. 211 00:10:04,948 --> 00:10:06,348 Speaker 1: He had to leave the Falcons last year in the 212 00:10:06,388 --> 00:10:08,588 Speaker 1: middle of the season due to health purposes, and then 213 00:10:08,628 --> 00:10:11,068 Speaker 1: to get to spended this season. You hope he's working out, 214 00:10:11,108 --> 00:10:12,988 Speaker 1: you hope his mind is right. So when he returned 215 00:10:12,988 --> 00:10:16,708 Speaker 1: to this Jacksonville offense, that I hear you. Despite losing 216 00:10:16,708 --> 00:10:19,468 Speaker 1: five straight it's one score games, they're right there. They 217 00:10:19,468 --> 00:10:21,388 Speaker 1: feel like they're right there, and this is an option. 218 00:10:21,748 --> 00:10:23,588 Speaker 1: This is an option that could make Trevor Lawrence, I think, 219 00:10:23,628 --> 00:10:25,988 Speaker 1: look really good. This is an interesting one because he 220 00:10:26,108 --> 00:10:27,988 Speaker 1: missed a lot of time with mental health. He said, 221 00:10:27,988 --> 00:10:30,468 Speaker 1: I can't, I'm out, I'm gonna take and the Falcons 222 00:10:30,588 --> 00:10:32,308 Speaker 1: were great about it. Hey take your time. You're still 223 00:10:32,308 --> 00:10:33,988 Speaker 1: gonna you know, get paid. All that. And then the 224 00:10:33,988 --> 00:10:36,548 Speaker 1: gambling suspension, which we can say, I know the NFL network, 225 00:10:36,548 --> 00:10:38,788 Speaker 1: it's a gambling suspension, that's what it is. That's two 226 00:10:38,828 --> 00:10:41,428 Speaker 1: years away from the game. Yeah, and now you're saying, okay, 227 00:10:41,468 --> 00:10:43,628 Speaker 1: let's PLoP him in there. I'm curiously what version of 228 00:10:43,668 --> 00:10:45,548 Speaker 1: him we get and I hope for the best. I 229 00:10:45,548 --> 00:10:48,388 Speaker 1: hope that he's foot but like, just like Deshaun Watson, 230 00:10:48,428 --> 00:10:50,548 Speaker 1: it's two years away from the what version we got 231 00:10:50,548 --> 00:10:52,588 Speaker 1: were getting? No one remember or is this someone who 232 00:10:52,588 --> 00:10:55,268 Speaker 1: has been away from sport minds where it's when he 233 00:10:55,268 --> 00:10:56,908 Speaker 1: comes back from Citay and I was gonna be the same, 234 00:10:56,948 --> 00:10:59,948 Speaker 1: And I don't know if he's boxing now. So yeah, 235 00:11:00,148 --> 00:11:02,188 Speaker 1: goes to show what those guys do when they're away 236 00:11:02,188 --> 00:11:03,868 Speaker 1: from the game. It's a lot harder when it's not 237 00:11:03,948 --> 00:11:06,868 Speaker 1: all uture. You don't have breakfast at this time, training 238 00:11:06,868 --> 00:11:09,428 Speaker 1: at this time. When you're away from the facility, away 239 00:11:09,468 --> 00:11:11,348 Speaker 1: from your guys, how are you structuring your life? Are 240 00:11:11,388 --> 00:11:13,828 Speaker 1: you getting that working? If he's one of those guys, 241 00:11:13,988 --> 00:11:16,308 Speaker 1: he's young enough, he'll come back, he'll be ready. But 242 00:11:16,588 --> 00:11:21,748 Speaker 1: leadon bell is a good example. Back on whiteboard Wednesday, 243 00:11:22,108 --> 00:11:24,428 Speaker 1: time to get out your markers and your racers and 244 00:11:24,508 --> 00:11:26,868 Speaker 1: answer a couple of questions. So later in the show, 245 00:11:26,908 --> 00:11:29,868 Speaker 1: this is exciting. We've got Terry McLaurin joining us. Mcclauren, 246 00:11:30,068 --> 00:11:32,188 Speaker 1: it was really awesome. He went off in his homecoming 247 00:11:32,188 --> 00:11:35,068 Speaker 1: when he faced Indianapolis on Sunday and other commanders are 248 00:11:35,108 --> 00:11:38,068 Speaker 1: a sneaky four and four like the Vikings this weekend. 249 00:11:38,348 --> 00:11:39,988 Speaker 1: They feel like a team you wouldn't want to play 250 00:11:40,028 --> 00:11:42,468 Speaker 1: against right now. So let's find a couple others the 251 00:11:42,508 --> 00:11:45,908 Speaker 1: team that we would not want to face right now. Yeah. 252 00:11:45,988 --> 00:11:49,788 Speaker 1: I watched all the football on Sunday and then Sunday night, 253 00:11:49,868 --> 00:11:51,948 Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know if the eighty five Bears 254 00:11:51,988 --> 00:11:54,988 Speaker 1: combined with the seventy eight Steelers combined with the ninety 255 00:11:54,988 --> 00:11:56,988 Speaker 1: four nine Ers can beat the Bills right now. Yeah, 256 00:11:57,308 --> 00:11:58,988 Speaker 1: they didn't even play great in the second half, they 257 00:11:58,988 --> 00:12:01,188 Speaker 1: didn't score any points. They kind of like fold around 258 00:12:01,188 --> 00:12:02,828 Speaker 1: a little bit of it's on two interceptions and they 259 00:12:02,868 --> 00:12:05,708 Speaker 1: still won by ten points. This thing is a locomotive 260 00:12:05,788 --> 00:12:09,068 Speaker 1: right now, and the game's played in Buffalo, especially at night. 261 00:12:09,828 --> 00:12:12,388 Speaker 1: I don't know who's beating them this year. They've already 262 00:12:12,468 --> 00:12:14,788 Speaker 1: beaten some top guy. I mean, we've seen them take 263 00:12:14,828 --> 00:12:17,348 Speaker 1: care of business against Lamar and a huge comeback. We've 264 00:12:17,388 --> 00:12:21,228 Speaker 1: seen them go into Kansas City and already beat Patrick Mahomes. 265 00:12:21,228 --> 00:12:23,748 Speaker 1: And now you've beat the two time back to back 266 00:12:23,868 --> 00:12:27,748 Speaker 1: MVP winner and Aaron Rodgers. They're loaded. They got another 267 00:12:27,788 --> 00:12:31,148 Speaker 1: player yesterday. They just keep on adding and adding it. Bills, 268 00:12:31,268 --> 00:12:33,028 Speaker 1: I don't want to face this team now. I certainly 269 00:12:33,028 --> 00:12:34,428 Speaker 1: don't want to face him in January and the way 270 00:12:34,428 --> 00:12:36,548 Speaker 1: that gets called and that crowd gets even nut here. Yeah, 271 00:12:36,588 --> 00:12:38,468 Speaker 1: Bills only have one loss. I'm gonna raise you a 272 00:12:38,508 --> 00:12:41,188 Speaker 1: little bit. I'm going to a team the zero losses. 273 00:12:41,548 --> 00:12:44,948 Speaker 1: The Philadelphia Eagles went against the Steelers this past week 274 00:12:44,988 --> 00:12:46,548 Speaker 1: and it was just like coming off a bye week, 275 00:12:46,708 --> 00:12:48,468 Speaker 1: we said it was just gonna be a trap game. 276 00:12:48,508 --> 00:12:50,828 Speaker 1: And I'm at the Jets game on Sunday, and every 277 00:12:50,828 --> 00:12:52,748 Speaker 1: time I look at my phone, I see it a 278 00:12:52,948 --> 00:12:56,148 Speaker 1: J Brown touchdown and he's just scoring on people. But 279 00:12:56,348 --> 00:12:59,588 Speaker 1: on top of that, the celebrations, the stump, the yard 280 00:12:59,748 --> 00:13:02,268 Speaker 1: they're in, they're getting it as choreographed. They're having fun 281 00:13:02,348 --> 00:13:04,948 Speaker 1: over there. He scores another touchdown. Now they're doing an 282 00:13:04,988 --> 00:13:08,868 Speaker 1: electric slide. Who wants to play against Philadelphia right now? 283 00:13:08,948 --> 00:13:13,788 Speaker 1: I know I wouldn't Hassan Reddick big place slay James Bradberry. 284 00:13:13,828 --> 00:13:16,268 Speaker 1: Those guys are getting it done on defense. This is 285 00:13:16,268 --> 00:13:20,068 Speaker 1: a team coming together. Jarlyn Hurts is leaving them, bringing 286 00:13:20,188 --> 00:13:24,588 Speaker 1: everybody as one. The Philadelphia Eagles are rolling, beating the 287 00:13:24,668 --> 00:13:27,948 Speaker 1: brakes off of people and celebrating and dancing in the 288 00:13:28,108 --> 00:13:30,828 Speaker 1: end zone. The Bills have looked really good. That Eagles 289 00:13:30,828 --> 00:13:32,628 Speaker 1: have looked really good, and you really don't see that 290 00:13:32,668 --> 00:13:36,188 Speaker 1: going in any other direction. Speaking of direction or misdirection 291 00:13:36,388 --> 00:13:40,548 Speaker 1: when healthy again, really scared about what Kyle Shanahan was 292 00:13:40,628 --> 00:13:44,068 Speaker 1: gonna do with one Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey. These 293 00:13:44,068 --> 00:13:47,188 Speaker 1: two guys, they could stand in any formation in the backfield. 294 00:13:47,228 --> 00:13:49,148 Speaker 1: And this is going to be so fun to watch. 295 00:13:49,188 --> 00:13:52,188 Speaker 1: I think only the best is to come for this offense. 296 00:13:52,508 --> 00:13:54,628 Speaker 1: I don't know when these two guys are healthy, and 297 00:13:54,708 --> 00:13:57,748 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan is just like looking like a crazy happy 298 00:13:57,788 --> 00:14:00,028 Speaker 1: person like growing up these plays. I'm a little bit 299 00:14:00,068 --> 00:14:02,828 Speaker 1: scared of forty ires offense. No, for sure. Last week 300 00:14:02,948 --> 00:14:05,108 Speaker 1: was like this McCaffrey, Marty Grass, but there was a 301 00:14:05,188 --> 00:14:06,748 Speaker 1: sense of like, oh, you ain't say nothing yet, like 302 00:14:07,228 --> 00:14:09,828 Speaker 1: nineteen gets involved right excited. I don't want to play 303 00:14:09,868 --> 00:14:13,188 Speaker 1: these guys five and three. You want to get in 304 00:14:13,228 --> 00:14:15,628 Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker the thirds way do you want to throw 305 00:14:15,668 --> 00:14:18,348 Speaker 1: into that secondary? Peter has spent most of this season 306 00:14:18,388 --> 00:14:20,508 Speaker 1: breaking down the Seattle secondary and how young they are. 307 00:14:21,548 --> 00:14:24,988 Speaker 1: I like Kobe Bryant, I like all of them. Um, 308 00:14:24,988 --> 00:14:26,548 Speaker 1: this is a team that no one sucked. What is 309 00:14:26,548 --> 00:14:29,228 Speaker 1: it Peter that tell the truth Tuesdays? Where Pete Carroll 310 00:14:29,308 --> 00:14:32,188 Speaker 1: has here's the truth, don't play these guys. It is 311 00:14:32,228 --> 00:14:36,268 Speaker 1: the most fun, most unexpected story in the NFL this year, 312 00:14:36,308 --> 00:14:38,188 Speaker 1: this side of the New York Giants, the Seahawks and 313 00:14:38,228 --> 00:14:40,028 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll be like, yeah, yeah, I think I don't 314 00:14:40,028 --> 00:14:41,628 Speaker 1: know how to coach. Think I forgot about football. Cant 315 00:14:41,668 --> 00:14:44,108 Speaker 1: keep running the shut up? What's crap? Literally? A quote 316 00:14:44,108 --> 00:14:46,268 Speaker 1: from the underdogs this week against the Cardinals. Okay, good, 317 00:14:46,308 --> 00:14:48,948 Speaker 1: because the Cardinals are just juggernauts. No one wants Why 318 00:14:48,948 --> 00:14:50,428 Speaker 1: did all four of us put the twenty twenty two 319 00:14:50,428 --> 00:14:52,628 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals on our board? Come on, now, come on, 320 00:14:52,828 --> 00:14:56,908 Speaker 1: don't the bird? All right? So yesterday was an absolute 321 00:14:56,948 --> 00:14:59,668 Speaker 1: thrill as a trades inline came and went and a 322 00:14:59,748 --> 00:15:04,548 Speaker 1: dozen names were moved, very interesting moves. Before the window closed. 323 00:15:05,268 --> 00:15:08,348 Speaker 1: We're done, our favorite sports trade of all time. You 324 00:15:08,388 --> 00:15:11,668 Speaker 1: can go any sports really trade that affected your life. 325 00:15:11,668 --> 00:15:15,308 Speaker 1: How about that favorite? Okay? I grew up a huge 326 00:15:15,428 --> 00:15:19,628 Speaker 1: NHL fan, loved hockey. Bernie Nichols was mighty. New York 327 00:15:19,708 --> 00:15:22,268 Speaker 1: Rangers loved Bernie Nichols. Right before the season started in 328 00:15:22,348 --> 00:15:24,268 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one, my father woke me up and it 329 00:15:24,428 --> 00:15:27,028 Speaker 1: was like they traded Bernie Nichols. I started crying, who 330 00:15:27,108 --> 00:15:29,548 Speaker 1: they get? Who they get? The Rangers got Mark Messier. 331 00:15:30,068 --> 00:15:32,228 Speaker 1: Let's go Mark Messier to the New York Rangers. Three 332 00:15:32,308 --> 00:15:34,428 Speaker 1: years later, the Rangers are winning their first Stanley Cup 333 00:15:34,828 --> 00:15:38,108 Speaker 1: since nineteen forty. And they got that cup. It's they're 334 00:15:38,108 --> 00:15:42,308 Speaker 1: only Stanley Cup since nineteen for nineteen forty Mark Messier 335 00:15:42,548 --> 00:15:45,588 Speaker 1: Game six against the Devil's guarantees that they're gonna win. 336 00:15:45,628 --> 00:15:48,068 Speaker 1: The game, goes out, has the game of his life. 337 00:15:48,188 --> 00:15:50,948 Speaker 1: Messier brings the Stanley Cup to the Rangers. You know, 338 00:15:50,988 --> 00:15:53,828 Speaker 1: they said, then I could die happy we won every 339 00:15:53,828 --> 00:15:56,908 Speaker 1: one since, you know what, I don't. Messier to the Rangers. 340 00:15:56,948 --> 00:15:59,068 Speaker 1: One of the greatest sports trades ever. Sorry, Bernie Nichols, 341 00:15:59,108 --> 00:16:00,708 Speaker 1: We see it is really yeah, I'll see that. The 342 00:16:00,788 --> 00:16:03,508 Speaker 1: guy that got traded in mind also brought a championship 343 00:16:03,548 --> 00:16:05,228 Speaker 1: to the team that he was going to. And a 344 00:16:05,308 --> 00:16:07,348 Speaker 1: lot of times we get these questions the night before 345 00:16:07,548 --> 00:16:09,268 Speaker 1: and I go back and forth on what I want 346 00:16:09,308 --> 00:16:12,668 Speaker 1: my answer to be. This one was a layup. Two 347 00:16:12,788 --> 00:16:16,988 Speaker 1: mccordy's are better than one. Yes, Jason mccordy goes from 348 00:16:17,028 --> 00:16:20,148 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns to the New England Patriots, and in 349 00:16:20,148 --> 00:16:23,948 Speaker 1: his first year there he not Tom Brady. He brings 350 00:16:23,988 --> 00:16:28,068 Speaker 1: a championship, leads to the New England Patriots. Yes, Rod 351 00:16:28,108 --> 00:16:30,028 Speaker 1: Wave has a song. Yes, I know everybody at the 352 00:16:30,068 --> 00:16:32,548 Speaker 1: table knows who Rod Wave is as a song that 353 00:16:32,628 --> 00:16:35,948 Speaker 1: goes rags to riches. Nothing against the Cleveland Browns had 354 00:16:35,988 --> 00:16:38,948 Speaker 1: an okay time there, but go from Owen sixteen to 355 00:16:39,068 --> 00:16:42,068 Speaker 1: winning a Super Bowl best sports trade of all time 356 00:16:42,188 --> 00:16:45,708 Speaker 1: impact in my life, the most me getting traded to 357 00:16:45,788 --> 00:16:49,508 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots winning Super Bowl fifty three. It's 358 00:16:49,548 --> 00:16:51,148 Speaker 1: really really good, Jamie, do you want you wanted to 359 00:16:51,148 --> 00:16:53,828 Speaker 1: go last? Right? Man, this is still the best. All right? 360 00:16:54,708 --> 00:16:56,948 Speaker 1: Look at this joy and Eli Manning's face and when 361 00:16:56,988 --> 00:17:00,228 Speaker 1: he's drafted by the San Diego Chargers, just exuberance and 362 00:17:00,308 --> 00:17:03,428 Speaker 1: he's there with Tom Condon and Olivia and I look 363 00:17:03,428 --> 00:17:07,668 Speaker 1: at just thrill. The fact is he had said to 364 00:17:07,708 --> 00:17:10,508 Speaker 1: the Chargers, I'm not gonna play for you, Please don't 365 00:17:10,588 --> 00:17:13,028 Speaker 1: draft me. Quote Let's keep it our little secret. The 366 00:17:13,108 --> 00:17:15,908 Speaker 1: Chargers like, nah, don't nobody tells us who we're gonna draft. 367 00:17:16,068 --> 00:17:18,588 Speaker 1: We're drafting you and then we'll figure out and trade 368 00:17:18,588 --> 00:17:20,348 Speaker 1: you and you can become a New York Giant. The 369 00:17:20,348 --> 00:17:22,428 Speaker 1: best part is that Eli gave the steel once when 370 00:17:22,428 --> 00:17:24,348 Speaker 1: the Chargers were like, serious, so you should play for us, 371 00:17:24,388 --> 00:17:26,508 Speaker 1: where he tells the story, he's like, the Chargers are like, 372 00:17:26,748 --> 00:17:29,948 Speaker 1: we got this tight end and he's never played football before, 373 00:17:30,028 --> 00:17:32,188 Speaker 1: but he was a basketball player. He's gonna be really good. 374 00:17:32,228 --> 00:17:35,068 Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, sure, it's gonna be a real all pro. 375 00:17:35,308 --> 00:17:37,228 Speaker 1: And of course he became Antonio Gates and I'll see 376 00:17:37,228 --> 00:17:39,508 Speaker 1: and everything, but the fact that that video of Eli 377 00:17:39,588 --> 00:17:41,668 Speaker 1: holding up the Chargers jersey is still the most awkward. 378 00:17:41,708 --> 00:17:44,508 Speaker 1: But I'm here for awkward. That's the one. So remember 379 00:17:44,548 --> 00:17:46,988 Speaker 1: last week we talked about like our makeout song in 380 00:17:47,028 --> 00:17:49,868 Speaker 1: high school I should have had. This isn't my heartbreak songs. 381 00:17:50,308 --> 00:17:51,868 Speaker 1: It was the summer of two thousand and seven, like 382 00:17:51,988 --> 00:17:54,508 Speaker 1: some people were going through their high school breakups. I 383 00:17:54,628 --> 00:17:56,428 Speaker 1: was too when I had to break up with Kivic 384 00:17:56,468 --> 00:17:59,868 Speaker 1: Garnett when he went to the bottom. It was July. 385 00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:03,068 Speaker 1: I wake up and Kima Garnett goes to the Celtics 386 00:18:03,108 --> 00:18:06,948 Speaker 1: and my heart is actually racing, Like looking at that jersey. 387 00:18:06,988 --> 00:18:10,028 Speaker 1: I was so sick to my stomach when Kevin Garnette 388 00:18:10,068 --> 00:18:13,268 Speaker 1: went there. You know what made matters worse. A few 389 00:18:13,308 --> 00:18:16,068 Speaker 1: months prior, Randy Moss had signed with the New England Patriots. 390 00:18:16,148 --> 00:18:17,948 Speaker 1: And at this point I feel like we are we 391 00:18:18,028 --> 00:18:21,308 Speaker 1: are becoming a farm system for New England because then, 392 00:18:21,788 --> 00:18:23,828 Speaker 1: you know what else happened in the fall of two 393 00:18:23,868 --> 00:18:27,108 Speaker 1: thousand and seven, David Ortiz helps the Boston Red Sox 394 00:18:27,148 --> 00:18:30,148 Speaker 1: when their their second World Series in four years. You 395 00:18:30,228 --> 00:18:33,228 Speaker 1: know who all three came from a Minnesota sports franchise. 396 00:18:33,668 --> 00:18:36,028 Speaker 1: The summer of two thousand and seven, I graduated from 397 00:18:36,108 --> 00:18:39,508 Speaker 1: high school and I was so tainted and heartbroken with 398 00:18:39,548 --> 00:18:42,388 Speaker 1: the fact that those three fine athletes that I adored 399 00:18:42,468 --> 00:18:44,348 Speaker 1: so much in their time in Minnesota, we're playing for 400 00:18:44,348 --> 00:18:46,708 Speaker 1: New England. It makes me so mad. And Kevin garn 401 00:18:46,748 --> 00:18:49,468 Speaker 1: had started at All England and then I went to 402 00:18:49,508 --> 00:18:53,948 Speaker 1: New England too, and which is great, but doesn't anyone 403 00:18:54,068 --> 00:18:59,468 Speaker 1: not We got a superstarter. Terry mclaurin's coming on the show. 404 00:18:59,668 --> 00:19:01,988 Speaker 1: That's our guy looking at just lightening people up. That's 405 00:19:02,028 --> 00:19:21,508 Speaker 1: good Morning Football on a Wednesday. All right, it's time 406 00:19:21,548 --> 00:19:23,388 Speaker 1: for my favorite segment of the week.

We get to air 408 00:19:26,868 --> 00:19:28,948 Speaker 1: things out that are on it's on our minds and 409 00:19:29,108 --> 00:19:32,228 Speaker 1: Jason has a nice little topic for us to chew 410 00:19:32,308 --> 00:19:35,108 Speaker 1: on today. Yeah, yesterday was trade deadline, so you see 411 00:19:35,108 --> 00:19:36,988 Speaker 1: all the guys. I think it was like twelve players 412 00:19:37,028 --> 00:19:39,788 Speaker 1: being having to relocate and all of those good things. 413 00:19:39,828 --> 00:19:42,788 Speaker 1: But we don't talk about now today on Wednesday is 414 00:19:42,828 --> 00:19:45,668 Speaker 1: the guys that didn't get traded and everything that they 415 00:19:45,708 --> 00:19:47,348 Speaker 1: go through. I'm going to start with a guy, Brandon 416 00:19:47,428 --> 00:19:49,388 Speaker 1: Cooks out in Houston and I want to throw to 417 00:19:49,508 --> 00:19:51,788 Speaker 1: Lovey Smith. He was talking about it before the trade 418 00:19:51,788 --> 00:19:54,588 Speaker 1: deadline pass. Brandon Cooks didn't practice, Lovey. What did you 419 00:19:54,628 --> 00:19:57,188 Speaker 1: have to say about it? What kind of question is 420 00:19:57,188 --> 00:20:00,508 Speaker 1: that now we're going to trade? If if there's somebody 421 00:20:00,548 --> 00:20:02,668 Speaker 1: we're gonna trade and we trade on, we count talk 422 00:20:02,748 --> 00:20:05,708 Speaker 1: about it. Then Brandon wasn't out there today. He's excused 423 00:20:05,748 --> 00:20:09,628 Speaker 1: for personal reasons. Love He says, b Cooks was not 424 00:20:09,748 --> 00:20:12,788 Speaker 1: out there for personal reasons. I don't know what that means. 425 00:20:12,828 --> 00:20:15,388 Speaker 1: He's healthy. Personal reasons means, hey, we don't know if 426 00:20:15,428 --> 00:20:17,348 Speaker 1: we're gonna trade this guy, so we want to keep 427 00:20:17,388 --> 00:20:19,828 Speaker 1: them healthy. We don't want him out there practicing. There's 428 00:20:19,868 --> 00:20:22,788 Speaker 1: a lot going on. What did Brandon Cooks think of this? Well, 429 00:20:22,788 --> 00:20:25,268 Speaker 1: he went to Twitter to show his reaction and what 430 00:20:25,348 --> 00:20:27,308 Speaker 1: he had to say and his feelings, and he says, 431 00:20:27,388 --> 00:20:30,788 Speaker 1: don't take a man's kindness for granted, covered for the 432 00:20:30,868 --> 00:20:33,868 Speaker 1: lies for too long. Those days are done cross the 433 00:20:33,908 --> 00:20:38,468 Speaker 1: line with playing with my career. My goodness, I don't 434 00:20:38,468 --> 00:20:40,748 Speaker 1: know what the lies are told. I'm not speculating that, 435 00:20:40,908 --> 00:20:43,428 Speaker 1: but the psyche of a player, the whole time. Week's 436 00:20:43,468 --> 00:20:46,188 Speaker 1: leading up, days leading up, everybody's talking about whether you're 437 00:20:46,228 --> 00:20:48,388 Speaker 1: going to be traded. Hell, Brandon Cooks is playing in Houston. 438 00:20:48,428 --> 00:20:50,988 Speaker 1: They're not doing too well. He probably wanted to be traded. 439 00:20:51,068 --> 00:20:53,388 Speaker 1: But now you have to go back into the building 440 00:20:53,388 --> 00:20:56,668 Speaker 1: and act like everything's okay. I remember at two and fifteen, 441 00:20:56,708 --> 00:20:59,348 Speaker 1: I'm playing for the Titans. There's speculation that I'm gonna 442 00:20:59,348 --> 00:21:01,868 Speaker 1: be tweeted. Every all the insiders are saying, hey, Jason 443 00:21:01,948 --> 00:21:04,508 Speaker 1: mccordy may get traded to the New England Patriots. I'm 444 00:21:04,508 --> 00:21:06,668 Speaker 1: talking to my brother. He's just like, hey, I talked 445 00:21:06,668 --> 00:21:08,548 Speaker 1: to a coach here, like they're they're trying to see 446 00:21:08,588 --> 00:21:10,588 Speaker 1: if they can get it done. I'm like, wow, this 447 00:21:10,428 --> 00:21:13,428 Speaker 1: is this is obviously for real trade deadline passes. Our 448 00:21:13,468 --> 00:21:15,068 Speaker 1: GM comes up to me, it was like, did you 449 00:21:15,108 --> 00:21:17,708 Speaker 1: see all that nonsense about the trade deadline? Don't believe 450 00:21:17,708 --> 00:21:19,988 Speaker 1: any of that. I'm like, oh, yeah, sure, the deadline's 451 00:21:20,028 --> 00:21:22,148 Speaker 1: over and now we need you to go play. So 452 00:21:22,268 --> 00:21:25,428 Speaker 1: for Brandon Cooks for a cam Anchors for a Kareem Hunt. 453 00:21:25,508 --> 00:21:28,348 Speaker 1: These guys have expressed and when the team's saying, hey, 454 00:21:28,388 --> 00:21:30,628 Speaker 1: we don't want this guy, he's on the trading block. 455 00:21:30,908 --> 00:21:32,988 Speaker 1: This is real. And now when you have to walk 456 00:21:33,028 --> 00:21:35,868 Speaker 1: back into work act like it didn't happen and say, hey, 457 00:21:35,908 --> 00:21:37,508 Speaker 1: what do you want me to do this week? Hey, 458 00:21:37,508 --> 00:21:39,188 Speaker 1: what's my role? I'm gonna go out there and give 459 00:21:39,228 --> 00:21:41,628 Speaker 1: it all for the team when you guys just showed 460 00:21:41,668 --> 00:21:43,788 Speaker 1: that you don't want me and you're trying to get 461 00:21:43,868 --> 00:21:46,068 Speaker 1: rid of me. But it wasn't able to happen. So 462 00:21:46,148 --> 00:21:48,628 Speaker 1: for the Brandon Cooks a guy we talked about yesterday 463 00:21:48,668 --> 00:21:51,708 Speaker 1: and we said, hey, a consummate pro. He's beloved, everybody 464 00:21:51,748 --> 00:21:54,268 Speaker 1: likes him in the organ and in any organization he's 465 00:21:54,308 --> 00:21:56,868 Speaker 1: been in. And now you're fooling around and saying, hey, 466 00:21:56,868 --> 00:21:59,028 Speaker 1: we're gonna trade this guy when he's been traded before 467 00:21:59,068 --> 00:22:01,068 Speaker 1: he performs when he gets to the new team. How's 468 00:22:01,068 --> 00:22:03,388 Speaker 1: it going to be now that every so much speculation 469 00:22:03,468 --> 00:22:06,308 Speaker 1: about being traded and you remained there for cam Akers 470 00:22:06,308 --> 00:22:09,188 Speaker 1: hasn't played the last two weeks. Now the deadline has passed, 471 00:22:09,268 --> 00:22:11,988 Speaker 1: do you just reinsert him in the lineup? Kareem Hunt 472 00:22:11,988 --> 00:22:13,908 Speaker 1: wore a joker mass at the end of the game, 473 00:22:14,148 --> 00:22:16,508 Speaker 1: talking about it doesn't matter whether I'm here, whether I'm there, 474 00:22:16,668 --> 00:22:18,188 Speaker 1: And now he has to go back and this guy's 475 00:22:18,228 --> 00:22:21,508 Speaker 1: probably a premiere running back as a starter on another team. 476 00:22:21,788 --> 00:22:24,068 Speaker 1: So for me, I wanted to just talk about and 477 00:22:24,268 --> 00:22:26,868 Speaker 1: acknowledge what guys go through the mental part of Hey, 478 00:22:26,908 --> 00:22:28,668 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be traded? Am I not? And now I 479 00:22:28,708 --> 00:22:30,388 Speaker 1: have to perform and walk back into the building and 480 00:22:30,508 --> 00:22:32,268 Speaker 1: play hall. It's gotta be tough. I you know, the 481 00:22:32,348 --> 00:22:34,468 Speaker 1: market was soft for Kareem Hunt. I think his name 482 00:22:34,508 --> 00:22:35,828 Speaker 1: was out there for a couple of weeks. I don't 483 00:22:35,828 --> 00:22:37,308 Speaker 1: think there's a lot of taker. It's like, hey, let 484 00:22:37,308 --> 00:22:38,748 Speaker 1: me get Kareem Hunt and have to sign him to 485 00:22:38,788 --> 00:22:41,388 Speaker 1: a new deal. And then cam Akers if Sean McVay 486 00:22:41,548 --> 00:22:44,828 Speaker 1: doesn't dress you, well, why if camergo coach McVay who 487 00:22:44,828 --> 00:22:47,588 Speaker 1: everyone loves, and he's down on you, what's your market 488 00:22:47,708 --> 00:22:50,308 Speaker 1: value going to be? The Brandon Cooks one? He signed 489 00:22:50,348 --> 00:22:52,468 Speaker 1: the new contract before this season. He makes a ton 490 00:22:52,508 --> 00:22:55,068 Speaker 1: of money. There's there's a business to this too. So 491 00:22:55,068 --> 00:22:57,108 Speaker 1: you're bringing in Brandon Cooks? What am I getting for? 492 00:22:57,428 --> 00:22:59,548 Speaker 1: You know whatever? He's making eighteen million dollars? That's up 493 00:22:59,588 --> 00:23:03,628 Speaker 1: with that tweet? That's a loaded tweeting dark what the 494 00:23:03,708 --> 00:23:05,708 Speaker 1: lies and the I mean talking about an organization that's 495 00:23:05,708 --> 00:23:08,388 Speaker 1: been to the take a stab at it, not not 496 00:23:08,428 --> 00:23:10,628 Speaker 1: the specific what do you think it's tough? You just 497 00:23:10,668 --> 00:23:13,588 Speaker 1: think about Since Brandon's been in Houston, there's been so 498 00:23:13,668 --> 00:23:17,748 Speaker 1: much speculation DeAndre Hopkins gets traded for a second round draftick, 499 00:23:17,788 --> 00:23:21,028 Speaker 1: the same as a Chase Claypool. With all that DeAndre 500 00:23:21,108 --> 00:23:26,628 Speaker 1: Hopkins has accomplished, but David Johnson and Watson, there's been 501 00:23:26,668 --> 00:23:30,268 Speaker 1: so much has gone on, so much being said about 502 00:23:30,308 --> 00:23:33,588 Speaker 1: this Houston organization. I'm sure Cooks is a stand up guy. 503 00:23:33,628 --> 00:23:36,668 Speaker 1: He's a veteran. There's people going to Brandon Cooks talking 504 00:23:36,708 --> 00:23:39,988 Speaker 1: about what's gone on, and he knows a lot more 505 00:23:40,028 --> 00:23:43,188 Speaker 1: than the average guy or people speculating he's inside. He 506 00:23:43,268 --> 00:23:45,828 Speaker 1: knows what's going on. I guess that's what he's talking about. Hey, 507 00:23:45,868 --> 00:23:47,348 Speaker 1: when I stand up in front of the media and 508 00:23:47,348 --> 00:23:49,548 Speaker 1: they asked me about this person or that person, I 509 00:23:49,628 --> 00:23:52,668 Speaker 1: give my company answer and hey, everything's great here in Houston. 510 00:23:52,828 --> 00:23:55,468 Speaker 1: And he's saying I know the truth, And Brandon Cooks, 511 00:23:55,588 --> 00:23:59,268 Speaker 1: he's not gonna go out today. That was something that 512 00:23:59,348 --> 00:24:01,188 Speaker 1: is way out of character. And it's tough. This guy 513 00:24:01,308 --> 00:24:03,348 Speaker 1: is married as kids, and it's tough. One. It's just 514 00:24:03,388 --> 00:24:05,588 Speaker 1: all this trade speculative because it's not just you pick 515 00:24:05,668 --> 00:24:07,348 Speaker 1: up and leave and go play for another team. You 516 00:24:07,428 --> 00:24:10,228 Speaker 1: over your entire family. Kids could be in school, wife 517 00:24:10,268 --> 00:24:12,708 Speaker 1: could have made friends. And I'm not complaining. It's a 518 00:24:12,788 --> 00:24:14,668 Speaker 1: business in as part of it, but there's also a 519 00:24:14,708 --> 00:24:16,828 Speaker 1: mental only human side and out as well. Jason is 520 00:24:16,868 --> 00:24:20,468 Speaker 1: so good, so plenty of contenders were adding high level 521 00:24:20,508 --> 00:24:23,188 Speaker 1: talent across the league. So which of these teams is 522 00:24:23,228 --> 00:24:26,468 Speaker 1: set definitively to make a run after the trade deadline. 523 00:24:26,788 --> 00:24:29,268 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Vikings. In the twenty twenty two Vikings, 524 00:24:29,788 --> 00:24:32,308 Speaker 1: Hockinson can catch eight balls this weekend like he is 525 00:24:32,348 --> 00:24:34,668 Speaker 1: going to light it up. There, I set up before 526 00:24:34,708 --> 00:24:36,708 Speaker 1: I'll say it again, I think Kirk Cousins steps into 527 00:24:36,948 --> 00:24:40,188 Speaker 1: the most talented, loaded offensive huddle in all of football, 528 00:24:40,388 --> 00:24:42,548 Speaker 1: number one out of thirty two. I want you guys 529 00:24:42,588 --> 00:24:45,028 Speaker 1: to understand that we are now two weeks away from 530 00:24:45,108 --> 00:24:46,908 Speaker 1: I think what is shaping up to be the biggest 531 00:24:46,908 --> 00:24:48,988 Speaker 1: regular season game of the year, the seven and one 532 00:24:49,108 --> 00:24:52,108 Speaker 1: Vikings potentially going to Buffalo to play the seven and 533 00:24:52,148 --> 00:24:54,988 Speaker 1: one Bills. This is a huge game. This is Hopkinson 534 00:24:55,068 --> 00:24:58,308 Speaker 1: versus Nahim Hines. Also, all the attention goes to Cook 535 00:24:58,428 --> 00:25:01,028 Speaker 1: and Cousins and Jefferson. The defense. Do you guys know 536 00:25:01,068 --> 00:25:04,508 Speaker 1: who the NFL sack leader is? So Darius Smith? Who 537 00:25:04,588 --> 00:25:08,308 Speaker 1: the NFL leader in tackles for losses? Darius Smith. It 538 00:25:08,428 --> 00:25:10,308 Speaker 1: is not Michael Parsons, that is not Aaron Donald. They 539 00:25:10,348 --> 00:25:13,388 Speaker 1: got guys like Jordan Hicks or like top five tacklers 540 00:25:13,388 --> 00:25:15,788 Speaker 1: in the league. Right now, the defense plays, the offense 541 00:25:15,948 --> 00:25:19,748 Speaker 1: is absolutely loaded. The moves I make that I love yesterday, 542 00:25:19,748 --> 00:25:21,788 Speaker 1: that make my hair really blow back. It's not the 543 00:25:21,828 --> 00:25:24,268 Speaker 1: average teams trying to get better. It's not the crappy 544 00:25:24,268 --> 00:25:27,028 Speaker 1: teams trying to unload. It is the really good teams 545 00:25:27,068 --> 00:25:29,748 Speaker 1: trying to get great. I love that the Dolphins made 546 00:25:29,748 --> 00:25:31,708 Speaker 1: a move. I Fuckings didn't have to make a move. 547 00:25:31,708 --> 00:25:33,468 Speaker 1: You're fine, you have one loss, You're probably get in 548 00:25:33,468 --> 00:25:35,468 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Maybe you win a game like no, no, no no, no, 549 00:25:35,748 --> 00:25:38,588 Speaker 1: not good enough. I love it. It's offense. It's high flying. 550 00:25:38,988 --> 00:25:41,468 Speaker 1: Vikings Bills in two weeks going to be massive. Vikings 551 00:25:41,468 --> 00:25:44,348 Speaker 1: are loaded. I'd see Vikings at Commanders this week. That's 552 00:25:44,388 --> 00:25:46,508 Speaker 1: good too. And that's a good game. And it's in Washington, 553 00:25:46,508 --> 00:25:48,468 Speaker 1: and that's Cousins going back to watch. That's a classic 554 00:25:48,508 --> 00:25:52,308 Speaker 1: kind of Vikings game nowhere historically this franchise. All right, 555 00:25:52,388 --> 00:25:54,468 Speaker 1: we've got that game against the Bills or in this 556 00:25:54,468 --> 00:25:56,708 Speaker 1: case they used to be the Eagles or the Packers, 557 00:25:56,708 --> 00:25:58,908 Speaker 1: whoever it is. Do you think they dropped the ball though, 558 00:25:58,988 --> 00:26:00,988 Speaker 1: or this is a different kind of deal. We'll find out. 559 00:26:01,068 --> 00:26:04,188 Speaker 1: I hope not again. The name that we never say 560 00:26:04,228 --> 00:26:06,788 Speaker 1: on the show is Kevin O'Connell. We don't say it, Peter. 561 00:26:06,828 --> 00:26:08,468 Speaker 1: Do you know why is it? Because we're all constantly 562 00:26:08,468 --> 00:26:10,348 Speaker 1: talking about say it Salo and daball and all that. 563 00:26:10,388 --> 00:26:12,708 Speaker 1: But like the first year head coach with one loss, 564 00:26:12,788 --> 00:26:14,148 Speaker 1: this would be like coach of the year, coach of 565 00:26:14,188 --> 00:26:17,188 Speaker 1: the here, a little little profile, sleepy Minnesota. He doesn't 566 00:26:17,188 --> 00:26:19,628 Speaker 1: have the big media soundbites, but he's coaching his butt off. 567 00:26:19,708 --> 00:26:21,668 Speaker 1: The team looks great. If they do be at Washington, 568 00:26:21,828 --> 00:26:23,508 Speaker 1: I think you gotta credit the o'connoll because that's a 569 00:26:23,508 --> 00:26:25,668 Speaker 1: different type of field for the takings. Without a doubt, 570 00:26:25,668 --> 00:26:28,548 Speaker 1: Minnesota is rolling obviously the top of the division, and 571 00:26:28,628 --> 00:26:30,668 Speaker 1: I mean they're getting it done. And for me, I'm 572 00:26:30,668 --> 00:26:33,748 Speaker 1: going with the San Francisco forty nine ers. The McCaffrey 573 00:26:33,788 --> 00:26:35,668 Speaker 1: deal didn't get done at the deadline, got done a 574 00:26:35,668 --> 00:26:38,068 Speaker 1: few days ago, but we saw the impact of it 575 00:26:38,148 --> 00:26:40,268 Speaker 1: this past week when they played against the Rams and 576 00:26:40,348 --> 00:26:43,108 Speaker 1: we saw McCaffrey throw it for a touchdown, catch a touchdown, 577 00:26:43,228 --> 00:26:46,068 Speaker 1: and also run for a touchdown. We knew coming into 578 00:26:46,108 --> 00:26:48,588 Speaker 1: this season the first few weeks of the season, how 579 00:26:48,628 --> 00:26:52,508 Speaker 1: good did San Francisco forty Niners defense was Damiko Ryan's 580 00:26:52,908 --> 00:26:56,628 Speaker 1: having those guys fly around Tallnola who funda making place 581 00:26:56,708 --> 00:26:59,148 Speaker 1: pick sixes in the whole nine. And now we get 582 00:26:59,188 --> 00:27:02,028 Speaker 1: a chance to see Christian McCaffrey in an offense. Given 583 00:27:02,068 --> 00:27:05,628 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo everything he needs a quarterback. And we talked 584 00:27:05,668 --> 00:27:09,188 Speaker 1: about it earlier. Yes, they lost Trey Lansing, Jimmy comes in. 585 00:27:09,188 --> 00:27:10,988 Speaker 1: It was just like the forty nine ers could have said, hey, 586 00:27:10,988 --> 00:27:13,068 Speaker 1: you know what, this isn't our year. Trey Lance will 587 00:27:13,108 --> 00:27:15,748 Speaker 1: get healthy, he'll come back next season. We'll make another run. 588 00:27:15,788 --> 00:27:17,988 Speaker 1: They said, No, we're gonna go get McCaffrey. I think 589 00:27:17,988 --> 00:27:20,748 Speaker 1: you said. And now Kyle Shanahan can color outside the lines. 590 00:27:21,068 --> 00:27:24,268 Speaker 1: Peter called him positionless. Him and Deebo Samuel. Now going 591 00:27:24,348 --> 00:27:27,308 Speaker 1: into a bye week, they get an opportunity to catch 592 00:27:27,388 --> 00:27:29,828 Speaker 1: him up to speed more in the offense. Hopefully Deebo 593 00:27:29,908 --> 00:27:33,068 Speaker 1: Samuel gets healthy, comes back after the bye, and my goodness, 594 00:27:33,068 --> 00:27:35,468 Speaker 1: with Kyle Shanahan can do with this offense, the plays 595 00:27:35,508 --> 00:27:37,708 Speaker 1: he can draw, how he can use a guy like 596 00:27:37,788 --> 00:27:40,548 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. They're a scary team right now and an 597 00:27:40,628 --> 00:27:43,548 Speaker 1: NFC that is wide open. They can make a run 598 00:27:43,588 --> 00:27:46,708 Speaker 1: and be in the conversation later on as playoffs are 599 00:27:46,748 --> 00:27:49,188 Speaker 1: rolling around to really be a team that can contend 600 00:27:49,188 --> 00:27:51,348 Speaker 1: for a Super Bowl. Yeah, I mean it's horrifying. The 601 00:27:51,468 --> 00:27:54,588 Speaker 1: numbers on what McCaffrey did, even in just his second 602 00:27:54,628 --> 00:27:57,508 Speaker 1: game are historic. And that pass he through the thirty 603 00:27:57,508 --> 00:28:00,588 Speaker 1: four yarder, it's the third longest pass in the air 604 00:28:00,628 --> 00:28:03,108 Speaker 1: that the forty nine ers have had three seasons. Is 605 00:28:03,148 --> 00:28:07,988 Speaker 1: that good? I don't know something. Positionless players, UM, I'll 606 00:28:07,988 --> 00:28:09,788 Speaker 1: tell you a guy who plays a position. That's Roquan 607 00:28:09,908 --> 00:28:12,668 Speaker 1: Smith and he plays that middle linebacker position. Oh so well, 608 00:28:12,948 --> 00:28:14,948 Speaker 1: and you know what that position means in Baltimore with 609 00:28:14,988 --> 00:28:19,548 Speaker 1: obviously ray Lewis being the face of that franchise. Um, 610 00:28:19,628 --> 00:28:22,268 Speaker 1: it's an interesting position for them because Patrick Queen was 611 00:28:22,308 --> 00:28:24,588 Speaker 1: a first round pick a few years ago he was 612 00:28:24,948 --> 00:28:27,108 Speaker 1: expected to be that guy. And guess what, Queen playing 613 00:28:27,148 --> 00:28:29,268 Speaker 1: pretty well this season. They didn't pick up his fifth 614 00:28:29,308 --> 00:28:31,668 Speaker 1: year option, or they have to decide what they want 615 00:28:31,668 --> 00:28:33,468 Speaker 1: to do with him next year. It's the fifth year option. 616 00:28:33,828 --> 00:28:36,228 Speaker 1: And it's like, now, you put Queen and Roquan together 617 00:28:36,268 --> 00:28:37,748 Speaker 1: and you don't want to run the ball up the 618 00:28:37,788 --> 00:28:43,668 Speaker 1: middle against the Ravens. And if I'm the Baltimore Ravens, 619 00:28:43,668 --> 00:28:45,908 Speaker 1: I'm looking at that AFC North all right, Jamar Chases 620 00:28:46,428 --> 00:28:48,628 Speaker 1: is out for a couple of weeks for the Bengals, 621 00:28:48,628 --> 00:28:52,228 Speaker 1: they're four and for um, Yes, Watson's coming, but when 622 00:28:52,268 --> 00:28:54,308 Speaker 1: we just beat the Browns, they're a team that's under 623 00:28:54,308 --> 00:28:57,468 Speaker 1: five hundred. And the Steelers are in this this rare 624 00:28:57,588 --> 00:29:00,388 Speaker 1: down season, Like this is the Ravens saying there's a 625 00:29:00,428 --> 00:29:03,228 Speaker 1: small window here. Let's take this AFC North and let's 626 00:29:03,308 --> 00:29:05,108 Speaker 1: run with it. Let's get a home playoff game, and 627 00:29:05,188 --> 00:29:07,628 Speaker 1: let's get back to what we are. And I said 628 00:29:07,628 --> 00:29:09,068 Speaker 1: it yesterday on the show, like I don't know if 629 00:29:09,068 --> 00:29:11,148 Speaker 1: they can resign Roquan Smith in the offseason. You know, 630 00:29:11,268 --> 00:29:13,828 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's contract is going to be a huge, huge 631 00:29:13,908 --> 00:29:16,588 Speaker 1: number sol Roquans I kind of like the fact that 632 00:29:16,668 --> 00:29:18,988 Speaker 1: Eric da Costa was like, I'm not worried about it. 633 00:29:19,148 --> 00:29:20,988 Speaker 1: Let's go and let's get him. It's a second and 634 00:29:20,988 --> 00:29:22,668 Speaker 1: a fifth. And if it puts us in the spot 635 00:29:22,668 --> 00:29:24,308 Speaker 1: in the playoffs and we have a home playoff game, 636 00:29:24,548 --> 00:29:26,228 Speaker 1: let's go and roll the dice. I like it. I 637 00:29:26,228 --> 00:29:28,068 Speaker 1: think the Ravens got a lot bet they want aggressive 638 00:29:28,108 --> 00:29:30,308 Speaker 1: as held. All the activity we saw us today is 639 00:29:30,308 --> 00:29:32,868 Speaker 1: that like ripple effects from the Rams and the bleep 640 00:29:32,948 --> 00:29:34,428 Speaker 1: them picks and we want a super Bowl. Like, I 641 00:29:34,468 --> 00:29:36,828 Speaker 1: don't think it's a coincidence that that super Bowl gets won, 642 00:29:36,988 --> 00:29:39,388 Speaker 1: and then we have the wildest trade deadline ever with 643 00:29:39,468 --> 00:29:41,748 Speaker 1: teams being like more, we need more, we're not good 644 00:29:41,828 --> 00:29:44,228 Speaker 1: enough right health trades yesterday and most of them are 645 00:29:44,308 --> 00:29:47,788 Speaker 1: from contending team. Yeah, it's like I like it the Ravens. 646 00:29:47,828 --> 00:29:49,388 Speaker 1: I don't know if the Ravens were going to compete 647 00:29:49,428 --> 00:29:52,908 Speaker 1: this year. Like, honestly, they've got the Browns. They they're 648 00:29:52,908 --> 00:29:56,108 Speaker 1: a really good team right now. Romith League leader in tackles, 649 00:29:56,148 --> 00:29:58,268 Speaker 1: helps them. I'm gonna go on the defensive side of 650 00:29:58,308 --> 00:30:01,308 Speaker 1: the ball too. In the Miami Dolphins, because you could say, like, oh, 651 00:30:01,308 --> 00:30:03,508 Speaker 1: the Bills speaking of like runaway team in the division 652 00:30:03,548 --> 00:30:05,348 Speaker 1: with the Vikings, who could say the Bills are that, 653 00:30:05,428 --> 00:30:07,668 Speaker 1: but then the Dolphins beat them so like they're right. 654 00:30:07,708 --> 00:30:09,308 Speaker 1: There are the Dolphins who have to go to Buffalo 655 00:30:09,428 --> 00:30:11,588 Speaker 1: later in the season, but they have Jalen Phillips, the 656 00:30:11,628 --> 00:30:13,988 Speaker 1: first round pick from last year, who's playing fine, but 657 00:30:14,028 --> 00:30:15,748 Speaker 1: they needed somebody to counter them on the other side 658 00:30:15,748 --> 00:30:17,468 Speaker 1: of the ball. And Jay the Dolphins to me are 659 00:30:17,508 --> 00:30:19,988 Speaker 1: a defense that have made me jump off my couch 660 00:30:20,068 --> 00:30:22,468 Speaker 1: I think more than any other team this season. And 661 00:30:22,508 --> 00:30:25,148 Speaker 1: by that I need electric plays, like guys in the 662 00:30:25,228 --> 00:30:29,548 Speaker 1: secondary in particular, that are carrying their own holding their weight. 663 00:30:29,948 --> 00:30:32,468 Speaker 1: They have a great young secondary and they look really 664 00:30:32,508 --> 00:30:35,748 Speaker 1: good and flashes and obviously they challenge the best offense 665 00:30:35,748 --> 00:30:37,908 Speaker 1: in the league and the Buffalo Bills earlier this season, 666 00:30:38,188 --> 00:30:40,708 Speaker 1: but they needed to be able to rush those quarterbacks 667 00:30:40,748 --> 00:30:44,988 Speaker 1: that are living haunting them within their division. Mac Jones, 668 00:30:45,548 --> 00:30:48,628 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, Josh Allen, I mean, and the guys that 669 00:30:48,668 --> 00:30:51,708 Speaker 1: are now there and Bradley Chubb and Jayleen Phillips. Bradley 670 00:30:51,788 --> 00:30:54,388 Speaker 1: Chubb is twenty six, Jayleen Phillips is twenty three years old, 671 00:30:54,468 --> 00:30:56,068 Speaker 1: and if you're going to commit to Bradley Chub and 672 00:30:56,148 --> 00:30:58,188 Speaker 1: a long term deal. Not for the Dolphins. That's a 673 00:30:58,228 --> 00:31:01,668 Speaker 1: really young great opposite ends of the line. Coming off 674 00:31:01,668 --> 00:31:03,548 Speaker 1: the line for the defensive end, they look really good. 675 00:31:03,548 --> 00:31:05,388 Speaker 1: They're only a fifteen act so far this year. The 676 00:31:05,508 --> 00:31:07,788 Speaker 1: Cowboys lead at thirty three. There's room to make up 677 00:31:07,788 --> 00:31:10,508 Speaker 1: there with these guys, said Emanuel Ogba. They signed to 678 00:31:10,548 --> 00:31:12,708 Speaker 1: a deal this past summer. Who's there. They're gonna have 679 00:31:12,708 --> 00:31:15,508 Speaker 1: to figure that situation. Wilkins Christian Wilkins as a guy 680 00:31:15,548 --> 00:31:17,308 Speaker 1: who's in the last year of his deal. He's playing 681 00:31:17,388 --> 00:31:19,828 Speaker 1: really well. But during a defense that they blitz a 682 00:31:19,828 --> 00:31:21,628 Speaker 1: lot and they come after you and they create pressure 683 00:31:21,708 --> 00:31:23,988 Speaker 1: that way. But with some injuries in the secondary and 684 00:31:24,028 --> 00:31:26,428 Speaker 1: some good young players, but guys banged up and I'm 685 00:31:26,428 --> 00:31:28,228 Speaker 1: able to blitz as much and put the onus on 686 00:31:28,268 --> 00:31:30,828 Speaker 1: the secondary. So go get a guy like Bradley Chubb 687 00:31:30,868 --> 00:31:32,868 Speaker 1: and allow him with a four man rush to be 688 00:31:32,868 --> 00:31:35,748 Speaker 1: able to get after the quarterback, which compliments everybody else 689 00:31:35,748 --> 00:31:38,628 Speaker 1: on the Defenseunds like Jason played in Josh Boyers Dolphins defense. 690 00:31:40,748 --> 00:31:46,348 Speaker 1: It's gonna taste. There's a gentleman from the Foosier States 691 00:31:46,748 --> 00:31:48,828 Speaker 1: and he had himself a day against the NFL team 692 00:31:48,868 --> 00:31:51,188 Speaker 1: that plays there, and he's joining the show next number 693 00:31:51,228 --> 00:31:55,068 Speaker 1: seventeen for the Washington Commanders. Scary Terry after the break 694 00:31:55,108 --> 00:31:58,268 Speaker 1: on a three game win streak. Stay here with Terry 695 00:31:58,308 --> 00:32:13,468 Speaker 1: mccorn right now. So we couldn't have talked more glowingly 696 00:32:13,468 --> 00:32:15,308 Speaker 1: about our next guest. He is one of the best 697 00:32:15,348 --> 00:32:17,508 Speaker 1: young receivers in the game. Terry McLaurin is coming off 698 00:32:17,548 --> 00:32:21,828 Speaker 1: a huge Week eight performance for his hometown. Please welcome 699 00:32:21,908 --> 00:32:25,788 Speaker 1: out of the State, Out of Ohio State University Commanders 700 00:32:26,228 --> 00:32:30,828 Speaker 1: receiver Terry McClaren. What's up, what's up? What's up? What's up? 701 00:32:30,868 --> 00:32:32,988 Speaker 1: Thanks you all for having me for this morning. Let's 702 00:32:32,988 --> 00:32:35,508 Speaker 1: talk about the emotions after the game. Peter just mentioned, 703 00:32:35,508 --> 00:32:37,388 Speaker 1: you had your guys from high school in the locker room, 704 00:32:37,388 --> 00:32:40,668 Speaker 1: you had family in the hallway, so many hugs all around. Yeah. 705 00:32:40,708 --> 00:32:42,948 Speaker 1: What did that whole vibe feel like to you after 706 00:32:43,028 --> 00:32:46,148 Speaker 1: such a wonderful performance against your hometown team. Yeah, it 707 00:32:46,228 --> 00:32:48,748 Speaker 1: was a full circle moment for me growing up in 708 00:32:48,788 --> 00:32:51,788 Speaker 1: that city, having my closest family and friends there, being 709 00:32:51,828 --> 00:32:54,348 Speaker 1: able to kind of have a homecoming, and the most 710 00:32:54,388 --> 00:32:56,548 Speaker 1: important part, you know, it's kind of a crazy because 711 00:32:56,588 --> 00:32:58,828 Speaker 1: you got to get all these tickets and anticipation of 712 00:32:58,868 --> 00:33:00,468 Speaker 1: the game, but then the day you just want to 713 00:33:00,468 --> 00:33:02,748 Speaker 1: win the game. So you know, once we won the game, 714 00:33:02,948 --> 00:33:04,788 Speaker 1: got to have my people there. It was really a 715 00:33:04,788 --> 00:33:07,228 Speaker 1: surreal moment. I'm extremely blessed to have that as a 716 00:33:07,268 --> 00:33:09,668 Speaker 1: memory that we'll all share. You know, I've always believed 717 00:33:09,708 --> 00:33:11,788 Speaker 1: in and I don't have just this platform to share 718 00:33:11,788 --> 00:33:14,268 Speaker 1: these experiences and have these opportunities for myself, but it's 719 00:33:14,268 --> 00:33:16,228 Speaker 1: to share it with other people, and especially the ones 720 00:33:16,268 --> 00:33:18,388 Speaker 1: that helped me get here. So that was just a 721 00:33:18,428 --> 00:33:20,228 Speaker 1: cool moment that had Marvia Harrison come up to me, 722 00:33:20,308 --> 00:33:22,788 Speaker 1: somebody that I looked up to growing up, watched in 723 00:33:22,828 --> 00:33:25,228 Speaker 1: that stadium. It was almost like I was living a dream. 724 00:33:25,268 --> 00:33:27,108 Speaker 1: It really was. It was like the time was slowed 725 00:33:27,108 --> 00:33:29,828 Speaker 1: down in that moment. We love Taylor Heineke here as 726 00:33:29,868 --> 00:33:32,788 Speaker 1: a show. You've played with all types of QBS terry. 727 00:33:32,908 --> 00:33:36,668 Speaker 1: There's something about him where there's a juice and there 728 00:33:36,748 --> 00:33:39,468 Speaker 1: is an energy. Even watching at home when he's out 729 00:33:39,508 --> 00:33:41,548 Speaker 1: there chucking it, you can feel it on the couch 730 00:33:41,588 --> 00:33:44,148 Speaker 1: that there's this whole vibe that you guys play with 731 00:33:44,188 --> 00:33:46,468 Speaker 1: when he's out there and throwing the ball around. What 732 00:33:46,668 --> 00:33:49,188 Speaker 1: is it about Taylor Heineke that makes them so easy 733 00:33:49,228 --> 00:33:51,308 Speaker 1: to rally behind. I think a lot of people want 734 00:33:51,348 --> 00:33:55,988 Speaker 1: to measure the tangibles, the arm, the height, some of 735 00:33:56,028 --> 00:33:58,428 Speaker 1: those things at the quarterback position, which you know a 736 00:33:58,428 --> 00:34:00,468 Speaker 1: lot of the time are very important. But the thing 737 00:34:00,508 --> 00:34:02,348 Speaker 1: that a lot of people can't measure what's inside his 738 00:34:02,428 --> 00:34:04,828 Speaker 1: chest and is his heart, his determination and it's just 739 00:34:05,268 --> 00:34:06,868 Speaker 1: his will to win. And I think I said it 740 00:34:06,868 --> 00:34:09,508 Speaker 1: on numerous occasions where he plays every game like it's 741 00:34:09,548 --> 00:34:12,268 Speaker 1: his last game and every every play is not dead 742 00:34:12,348 --> 00:34:14,308 Speaker 1: with him. And I think he's done a great job 743 00:34:14,308 --> 00:34:16,308 Speaker 1: of making the big plays when we needed to, but 744 00:34:16,348 --> 00:34:17,908 Speaker 1: also take it with the defense is given him. And 745 00:34:17,908 --> 00:34:20,028 Speaker 1: I think that just shows his maturation process as he's 746 00:34:20,028 --> 00:34:22,388 Speaker 1: gotten more reps with us. But yeah, I think he 747 00:34:22,428 --> 00:34:24,348 Speaker 1: brings a lot of energy to our offense and our team. 748 00:34:24,348 --> 00:34:26,508 Speaker 1: And you know, when you play with a guy like that, 749 00:34:27,028 --> 00:34:28,908 Speaker 1: you just want to make plays for him and you 750 00:34:28,948 --> 00:34:31,268 Speaker 1: know he has a chance to change the game. So 751 00:34:31,908 --> 00:34:33,588 Speaker 1: it's been great playing with him so far and the 752 00:34:33,588 --> 00:34:35,868 Speaker 1: way he just lifts us up, you know, obviously when 753 00:34:35,868 --> 00:34:37,828 Speaker 1: Carson's been down, but you know, we have a lot 754 00:34:37,868 --> 00:34:40,068 Speaker 1: of confidence that we can win games with him as well. 755 00:34:40,348 --> 00:34:43,428 Speaker 1: Taylor obviously not one of the top quarterbacks drafted in 756 00:34:43,468 --> 00:34:45,988 Speaker 1: the NFL draft. You go in the third round, this 757 00:34:46,148 --> 00:34:49,548 Speaker 1: Washington team, up and down the roster. These aren't a 758 00:34:49,548 --> 00:34:51,828 Speaker 1: lot of guys who are taking first overall, and we're 759 00:34:51,868 --> 00:34:54,628 Speaker 1: given that that crown at the draft, and yet here 760 00:34:54,668 --> 00:34:57,748 Speaker 1: you guys are four and four right in the thick 761 00:34:57,788 --> 00:34:59,668 Speaker 1: of it, and you're rolling around a coach who's going 762 00:34:59,708 --> 00:35:01,788 Speaker 1: through a rough week as well, going on with his 763 00:35:01,828 --> 00:35:04,708 Speaker 1: tragedy that he's dealing with. Talk about this room right now, 764 00:35:04,708 --> 00:35:07,068 Speaker 1: because there has been a lot of turbulence around this 765 00:35:07,148 --> 00:35:09,428 Speaker 1: Washington franchise, and yet the football seems like it's as 766 00:35:09,428 --> 00:35:11,428 Speaker 1: good as ever right now. I think we have some 767 00:35:11,508 --> 00:35:14,548 Speaker 1: momentum over the last few weeks. Started a few weeks ago, 768 00:35:14,588 --> 00:35:16,748 Speaker 1: and we've kind of just gotten better each and every week. 769 00:35:16,788 --> 00:35:18,508 Speaker 1: I think we're doing a better job of playing more 770 00:35:18,508 --> 00:35:20,828 Speaker 1: complimentary football. I think the defense did a great job 771 00:35:20,868 --> 00:35:24,108 Speaker 1: against the coach run game and enforcing some turnovers, and 772 00:35:24,188 --> 00:35:26,748 Speaker 1: trest Way is booming the ball in. Our special teams 773 00:35:26,748 --> 00:35:28,988 Speaker 1: are doing great job and coverage so and even with 774 00:35:29,028 --> 00:35:31,148 Speaker 1: our offense, we know when we need the jobs to 775 00:35:31,188 --> 00:35:33,748 Speaker 1: win the game, those two minute jobs the last few weeks, 776 00:35:34,148 --> 00:35:36,188 Speaker 1: when we get the first downs, that's what That's what 777 00:35:36,868 --> 00:35:39,868 Speaker 1: winning football is going to take. And so you know, 778 00:35:39,908 --> 00:35:41,228 Speaker 1: I think over the last few years, we've had a 779 00:35:41,228 --> 00:35:43,388 Speaker 1: lot of adversity going on both on and off the field, 780 00:35:43,388 --> 00:35:45,348 Speaker 1: but I think we got a great group of guys 781 00:35:45,388 --> 00:35:47,988 Speaker 1: in that locker room who stick together and we want 782 00:35:47,988 --> 00:35:49,748 Speaker 1: to fight for one another, and we come in here 783 00:35:49,988 --> 00:35:51,708 Speaker 1: with a focus to try to put our best on 784 00:35:51,748 --> 00:35:53,308 Speaker 1: the field each and every week. So if we could 785 00:35:53,308 --> 00:35:55,228 Speaker 1: continue to do that, we're gonna put ourselves in great 786 00:35:55,268 --> 00:35:58,068 Speaker 1: situations to win more games. You guys have another tough 787 00:35:58,108 --> 00:36:00,388 Speaker 1: matchup coming up. You guys have been rolling. You have 788 00:36:00,428 --> 00:36:03,188 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings who are sitting there at six and one. 789 00:36:03,348 --> 00:36:06,668 Speaker 1: I'm assuming you're gonna kid Patrick Peterson. You're the guy 790 00:36:06,788 --> 00:36:09,508 Speaker 1: for the Commanders. You're attracting the best corner weekend and 791 00:36:09,548 --> 00:36:11,868 Speaker 1: week out. How does that feel on what goes into 792 00:36:11,908 --> 00:36:14,188 Speaker 1: the preparation as you get ready for these guys. As 793 00:36:14,188 --> 00:36:17,068 Speaker 1: a receiver, you want that, you want that title. You 794 00:36:17,108 --> 00:36:18,948 Speaker 1: want to be a wide receiver, wanted to be the 795 00:36:19,028 --> 00:36:20,748 Speaker 1: go to guy for your team, and you know that 796 00:36:20,788 --> 00:36:22,628 Speaker 1: just as it happened. Yeah, I think it's a testament 797 00:36:22,668 --> 00:36:24,628 Speaker 1: to try the work I try to put in week 798 00:36:24,708 --> 00:36:26,708 Speaker 1: in and week out to earn the trust of my 799 00:36:26,788 --> 00:36:29,588 Speaker 1: coaches and my teammates, especially the quarterback, to know that 800 00:36:29,628 --> 00:36:31,588 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get my job done each and every week, 801 00:36:31,628 --> 00:36:33,868 Speaker 1: and then just going into film study, you know, going 802 00:36:33,908 --> 00:36:36,308 Speaker 1: against these corners. There's so many different kind of corners 803 00:36:36,348 --> 00:36:39,028 Speaker 1: in this league, size wise, technique wise, and I think 804 00:36:39,028 --> 00:36:40,748 Speaker 1: it's really allowed me to grow to know that I 805 00:36:40,788 --> 00:36:42,908 Speaker 1: got to bring my best each and every Sunday because 806 00:36:43,308 --> 00:36:45,348 Speaker 1: next week you're gonna go against probably their best guys. 807 00:36:45,388 --> 00:36:47,468 Speaker 1: So have a lot of respect for Patrick Peterson what 808 00:36:47,508 --> 00:36:49,348 Speaker 1: he's done in this league and just over his whole 809 00:36:49,348 --> 00:36:51,908 Speaker 1: football career. He's an extremely smart player. He can still 810 00:36:51,948 --> 00:36:53,868 Speaker 1: play at a high level, and I know his technique 811 00:36:53,908 --> 00:36:55,828 Speaker 1: is still really sound, So you know, he has my 812 00:36:55,908 --> 00:36:58,548 Speaker 1: respect definitely.
