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 --> 00:00:27,908
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio. Good Morning, A big time deal for

3
00:00:27,948 --> 00:00:31,548
Speaker 1: a big time wide receiver. DJ Metcalf gets paid. We'll

4
00:00:31,588 --> 00:00:34,388
Speaker 1: break it all down in a bit. Kyler fires back

5
00:00:34,428 --> 00:00:38,068
Speaker 1: and there's a big change to his contract. Shocking, not shocking.

6
00:00:38,068 --> 00:00:41,628
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it. We welcome you too, Good Morning Football.

7
00:00:41,668 --> 00:00:43,908
Speaker 1: We are live here in New York City. It's Friday,

8
00:00:44,148 --> 00:00:47,948
Speaker 1: July twenty ninth. We have survived. My name is Jamie Urdall,

9
00:00:47,988 --> 00:00:51,228
Speaker 1: alongside Kyle Brand Friday and if Ill Night work inside,

10
00:00:51,468 --> 00:00:55,148
Speaker 1: Mike Gara follow and a Super Bowl champion Jason mccordy.

11
00:00:55,228 --> 00:00:59,308
Speaker 1: And so it's time for the final of the week.

12
00:00:59,748 --> 00:01:02,068
Speaker 1: All right, let's start out in the desert where we

13
00:01:02,108 --> 00:01:04,108
Speaker 1: got the news last night courtesy of our own NFL

14
00:01:04,108 --> 00:01:08,828
Speaker 1: network insider Ian Rapport that the controversial quote independent study

15
00:01:08,908 --> 00:01:13,628
Speaker 1: clause and Kyler Murray's a massive extension was removed. The

16
00:01:13,748 --> 00:01:17,868
Speaker 1: Cardinals then issued this statement after seeing a distraction it created,

17
00:01:18,028 --> 00:01:20,508
Speaker 1: we removed the dentum from the contract. It was clearly

18
00:01:20,548 --> 00:01:24,148
Speaker 1: perceived in ways that were never intended. Our confidence in

19
00:01:24,228 --> 00:01:26,388
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is as high as it's ever been, and

20
00:01:26,468 --> 00:01:29,508
Speaker 1: nothing demonstrates our belief in his ability to lead this

21
00:01:29,508 --> 00:01:33,948
Speaker 1: team more than the commitment reflected in this contract. Kyler

22
00:01:34,068 --> 00:01:36,708
Speaker 1: himself addressed some of the heat he took in a

23
00:01:36,708 --> 00:01:39,668
Speaker 1: surprise cress conference yesterday afternoon. Let's take a listen. I

24
00:01:39,748 --> 00:01:43,068
Speaker 1: should think that I can accomplish everything that I've accomplished

25
00:01:43,068 --> 00:01:44,908
Speaker 1: from my career and not be a student of the

26
00:01:44,948 --> 00:01:47,828
Speaker 1: game and not have that passion and not take this

27
00:01:48,028 --> 00:01:52,348
Speaker 1: serious is almost it's disrespectful. It's almost a joke, you know,

28
00:01:52,468 --> 00:01:54,428
Speaker 1: to me. You know, I want to see flattered that

29
00:01:54,508 --> 00:01:56,548
Speaker 1: y'all think that at my size, I can go out

30
00:01:56,588 --> 00:01:58,628
Speaker 1: there and not prepare for the game and not take

31
00:01:58,668 --> 00:02:01,348
Speaker 1: it serious. It's disrespectful, ifflect to my peers, to all

32
00:02:01,388 --> 00:02:03,668
Speaker 1: the great athletes and great players that are in this league.

33
00:02:03,908 --> 00:02:06,788
Speaker 1: Games too hard to play the position that I play

34
00:02:06,828 --> 00:02:09,908
Speaker 1: in this league. It's it's too hard. And I don't

35
00:02:09,948 --> 00:02:11,868
Speaker 1: do this often. I don't talk about myself, but today

36
00:02:11,908 --> 00:02:13,428
Speaker 1: I feel like I have to. And so I'm a

37
00:02:13,508 --> 00:02:15,508
Speaker 1: list to accolades, you know, to go forty three and

38
00:02:15,588 --> 00:02:18,468
Speaker 1: oh in high school in Texas. So we're gonna say, oh,

39
00:02:18,468 --> 00:02:20,348
Speaker 1: it's high school. That's cool. But nobody else has done

40
00:02:20,348 --> 00:02:23,908
Speaker 1: it go to college when the Heisman get drafted number

41
00:02:23,908 --> 00:02:26,028
Speaker 1: one overall to the NFL, get drafted number nine overall

42
00:02:26,028 --> 00:02:28,588
Speaker 1: to MLB. Again, no one's ever done it. Offensive rookie

43
00:02:28,628 --> 00:02:30,708
Speaker 1: of the year, two time pro bowler, and I'm not

44
00:02:30,828 --> 00:02:32,988
Speaker 1: six seven to two thirty. I don't throw the ball

45
00:02:32,988 --> 00:02:35,388
Speaker 1: eighty five yards. I'm already behind the eight ball. You know,

46
00:02:35,388 --> 00:02:37,628
Speaker 1: I can't afford to take any shortcuts, no pun intended,

47
00:02:37,748 --> 00:02:40,188
Speaker 1: but those those things you can't accomplish if you don't

48
00:02:40,188 --> 00:02:42,228
Speaker 1: take the game serious, if you don't prepare the right way.

49
00:02:42,308 --> 00:02:45,228
Speaker 1: And you know, it's like I said, it's it's laughable.

50
00:02:46,228 --> 00:02:49,468
Speaker 1: So it was a pretty crazy Thursday all week in

51
00:02:49,668 --> 00:02:52,988
Speaker 1: existence for the Cardinals. So we're gonna talk about what

52
00:02:52,988 --> 00:02:56,148
Speaker 1: everyone's thinking about what has gone down, not just yesterday,

53
00:02:56,228 --> 00:02:58,908
Speaker 1: but since last week when we heard the contract existed

54
00:02:58,908 --> 00:03:01,228
Speaker 1: and then the clause and everything. So what do you got, Kyle?

55
00:03:01,548 --> 00:03:03,748
Speaker 1: I got a deep breath first. I think we all

56
00:03:03,788 --> 00:03:05,948
Speaker 1: need a deep breath all right, after watching what we

57
00:03:06,028 --> 00:03:08,548
Speaker 1: just watched. I like that he stood up himself. I

58
00:03:08,628 --> 00:03:11,548
Speaker 1: like that Kyler Murray showed some emotion and obviously was

59
00:03:11,868 --> 00:03:14,388
Speaker 1: affected by this emotion. We haven't seen a lot from him.

60
00:03:14,428 --> 00:03:18,508
Speaker 1: I'm out on him going on offense to the media.

61
00:03:18,548 --> 00:03:21,908
Speaker 1: And this idea that this was some media creation, this

62
00:03:21,948 --> 00:03:24,508
Speaker 1: is some dumb rumor that we all ran with. There's

63
00:03:24,548 --> 00:03:26,588
Speaker 1: plenty of other stories like that. This is not one

64
00:03:26,588 --> 00:03:30,148
Speaker 1: of them. Here's just the facts. Someone in the Cardinals organization,

65
00:03:30,268 --> 00:03:32,748
Speaker 1: I have a pretty strong idea who, based on what

66
00:03:32,788 --> 00:03:36,028
Speaker 1: they'd seen of Kyler Murray for years, said I don't

67
00:03:36,028 --> 00:03:38,908
Speaker 1: trust his preparation and his work ethic. I don't I

68
00:03:38,948 --> 00:03:41,348
Speaker 1: want something in the contract that assures of that. Okay.

69
00:03:41,388 --> 00:03:43,948
Speaker 1: Then it went to his agent said okay, And then

70
00:03:43,948 --> 00:03:46,188
Speaker 1: it went to Kyler and he took a pen and

71
00:03:46,268 --> 00:03:49,628
Speaker 1: he signed below the thing that says hours and hours

72
00:03:49,668 --> 00:03:52,908
Speaker 1: of study. So listen, don't come at us. And for

73
00:03:53,268 --> 00:03:55,828
Speaker 1: making a thing out of this. This was a direct

74
00:03:56,388 --> 00:03:59,188
Speaker 1: assignment from your employer that says you got to put

75
00:03:59,188 --> 00:04:00,908
Speaker 1: your nose in that book and study. And I have

76
00:04:00,948 --> 00:04:03,908
Speaker 1: another thing in the idea that like this all came

77
00:04:03,948 --> 00:04:06,308
Speaker 1: too easy. See for Kyler, he just shows up a

78
00:04:06,428 --> 00:04:08,428
Speaker 1: natural ability and that's why he made all this money.

79
00:04:08,508 --> 00:04:10,868
Speaker 1: Can we see the shirt? Just maybe you don't wear

80
00:04:10,868 --> 00:04:13,748
Speaker 1: a shirt that says easy money to the press conference,

81
00:04:14,228 --> 00:04:17,108
Speaker 1: wear a Cardinal shirt. You probably walked past thirty of

82
00:04:17,108 --> 00:04:20,868
Speaker 1: them on the way up to the stage. Easy. I know, Kyler,

83
00:04:21,028 --> 00:04:23,868
Speaker 1: that's the problem. The game's too easy. You're too talented.

84
00:04:23,908 --> 00:04:26,188
Speaker 1: You don't watch the film. So you signed the contract,

85
00:04:26,228 --> 00:04:28,228
Speaker 1: so like, I actually liked that. He's like a hold

86
00:04:28,228 --> 00:04:30,188
Speaker 1: on a second, because we've never seen that from Kyler.

87
00:04:30,588 --> 00:04:33,188
Speaker 1: But don't come on offense to all of us who said, wow,

88
00:04:33,228 --> 00:04:35,668
Speaker 1: that's crazy. The Cardinals don't trust him. That was in

89
00:04:35,708 --> 00:04:38,548
Speaker 1: the contract because the Cardinals didn't trust him, and then

90
00:04:38,548 --> 00:04:40,868
Speaker 1: you signed it. Bro, So this is not something we

91
00:04:40,948 --> 00:04:43,468
Speaker 1: made up, Mike Garifolo, No, it's not. And the statement,

92
00:04:43,868 --> 00:04:46,388
Speaker 1: the statement is more fuel on your fire because it

93
00:04:46,428 --> 00:04:53,748
Speaker 1: says it was perceived. It's kind of and D notation.

94
00:04:53,828 --> 00:04:55,908
Speaker 1: I forget which one is you. I think it d notation.

95
00:04:55,988 --> 00:04:58,868
Speaker 1: They're blaming that part of everyone. I would say this,

96
00:04:59,268 --> 00:05:02,268
Speaker 1: and I've signed up for a lot of things and

97
00:05:02,348 --> 00:05:04,708
Speaker 1: they give you the disclaimer. And I went to the

98
00:05:04,628 --> 00:05:06,548
Speaker 1: the Eagles the other day and they said please sign

99
00:05:06,628 --> 00:05:08,508
Speaker 1: this waiver and it was like six pages. I didn't

100
00:05:08,548 --> 00:05:10,988
Speaker 1: read it. I just signed it. I'm pretty sure I

101
00:05:11,028 --> 00:05:12,748
Speaker 1: was gonna follow everything. And it's not a big deal

102
00:05:12,828 --> 00:05:15,748
Speaker 1: or whatever. So if you are sitting there and saying, well,

103
00:05:15,788 --> 00:05:18,548
Speaker 1: how did Kyler not know what he was signing? And

104
00:05:18,948 --> 00:05:20,988
Speaker 1: I believe that he had no idea what he was signing?

105
00:05:21,068 --> 00:05:23,468
Speaker 1: Well that was even in there, right, And so somebody

106
00:05:23,628 --> 00:05:25,348
Speaker 1: kind of goes to the whole don't doesn't do the

107
00:05:25,388 --> 00:05:28,908
Speaker 1: work now something. Well, okay, Jamie, there you go. But

108
00:05:29,108 --> 00:05:32,988
Speaker 1: somebody at some point, because they you trust these people,

109
00:05:33,228 --> 00:05:35,868
Speaker 1: even the team, to say, if we do this and

110
00:05:35,908 --> 00:05:38,828
Speaker 1: we put this in the contract and somebody sees it, boy,

111
00:05:38,828 --> 00:05:40,788
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a topic on Good Morning Football, and

112
00:05:40,788 --> 00:05:42,628
Speaker 1: they're gonna have some hot takes on this one and

113
00:05:42,668 --> 00:05:44,428
Speaker 1: some other shows across the boarding. People are gonna have

114
00:05:44,468 --> 00:05:46,868
Speaker 1: a certain reaction, and it's gonna feed into things that

115
00:05:46,908 --> 00:05:50,148
Speaker 1: they've already reported. It's gonna be basically a confirmation of

116
00:05:50,188 --> 00:05:52,108
Speaker 1: a lot of the things that we were Super Bowl

117
00:05:52,148 --> 00:05:54,908
Speaker 1: Sunday I had a whole report on why there was

118
00:05:54,948 --> 00:05:56,868
Speaker 1: a standoff between Kyler Murray and the team, and it

119
00:05:56,908 --> 00:05:59,348
Speaker 1: was about much more than money. It was about things

120
00:05:59,388 --> 00:06:02,268
Speaker 1: like this, frankly, and so the team putting the clause

121
00:06:02,268 --> 00:06:03,988
Speaker 1: in the contract kind of so somebody at some points

122
00:06:04,028 --> 00:06:06,068
Speaker 1: got a lot out for Kyler and say, hey, we

123
00:06:06,108 --> 00:06:08,748
Speaker 1: need to protect you and your image publicly. If this

124
00:06:08,828 --> 00:06:10,748
Speaker 1: goes in there and you sign it, there's gonna be

125
00:06:10,788 --> 00:06:13,628
Speaker 1: a reaction. So he I understand why he was angry,

126
00:06:13,628 --> 00:06:15,108
Speaker 1: and he was angry at a lot of folks, including

127
00:06:15,108 --> 00:06:17,228
Speaker 1: the team. He wouldn't even say that somebody's gotta watch

128
00:06:17,228 --> 00:06:18,948
Speaker 1: out for Kyler on that one. I love it. You

129
00:06:19,028 --> 00:06:21,468
Speaker 1: love Kyler recis today for sure, forty three in on

130
00:06:21,668 --> 00:06:24,508
Speaker 1: high school Heisman Trophy winner, and we can say, all right,

131
00:06:24,708 --> 00:06:27,108
Speaker 1: he definitely has hurdles to get over in the NFL.

132
00:06:27,388 --> 00:06:29,588
Speaker 1: This guy's been in the league for three years. He's

133
00:06:29,628 --> 00:06:32,708
Speaker 1: been to two Pro Bowls, excluding his rookie year, you know,

134
00:06:32,748 --> 00:06:35,148
Speaker 1: without the quarterback that was the first overall pick that

135
00:06:35,188 --> 00:06:36,748
Speaker 1: didn't go as rookie year, but then went to the

136
00:06:36,788 --> 00:06:39,148
Speaker 1: next two years. Payton manny Am I saying he's gonna

137
00:06:39,148 --> 00:06:41,668
Speaker 1: be paying no, but let's give the guy a break.

138
00:06:41,748 --> 00:06:44,908
Speaker 1: Let's not act like what he just said. I've gotten here,

139
00:06:44,988 --> 00:06:48,788
Speaker 1: I've performed here, and now we're just crushing him because

140
00:06:48,828 --> 00:06:51,188
Speaker 1: of something the Cardinals said. I said it yesterday. The

141
00:06:51,268 --> 00:06:54,708
Speaker 1: Cardinals will make this a huge distraction for more than

142
00:06:54,748 --> 00:06:57,828
Speaker 1: just Kyler Murray by putting this in the contract. It

143
00:06:57,868 --> 00:07:00,588
Speaker 1: was true because a day later it is no longer

144
00:07:00,868 --> 00:07:03,308
Speaker 1: in the contract. But I love the fact that Kyler

145
00:07:03,348 --> 00:07:06,348
Speaker 1: calls this press converse and he's not gonna let everybody,

146
00:07:06,388 --> 00:07:09,708
Speaker 1: including the people at Good Morning Football, to sit here

147
00:07:09,748 --> 00:07:12,348
Speaker 1: and just destroy him as if he just goes home,

148
00:07:12,548 --> 00:07:15,308
Speaker 1: shows up, eat some skittles, and goes out there and

149
00:07:15,388 --> 00:07:17,908
Speaker 1: just performs and plays. No, does guy's put into work.

150
00:07:17,988 --> 00:07:19,468
Speaker 1: Is he watching as much film as some of the

151
00:07:19,508 --> 00:07:23,348
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks. Possibly not, but he's still performing on Sunday.

152
00:07:23,508 --> 00:07:26,388
Speaker 1: And that's what you get paid for, to perform on Sunday.

153
00:07:26,428 --> 00:07:28,868
Speaker 1: And if I handed you one hundred million dollar contract,

154
00:07:29,268 --> 00:07:31,068
Speaker 1: I think you would send it over to the lawyers,

155
00:07:31,188 --> 00:07:33,708
Speaker 1: let him review all one hundred pages of it, and

156
00:07:33,748 --> 00:07:36,668
Speaker 1: they say, hey, contracts a go. You take that, give

157
00:07:36,788 --> 00:07:39,348
Speaker 1: him a hundred So I too can look up your

158
00:07:39,348 --> 00:07:42,108
Speaker 1: Wikipedia page, Kyler Murray and read off all of the

159
00:07:42,148 --> 00:07:45,268
Speaker 1: things that you have accomplished in your football career. That

160
00:07:45,468 --> 00:07:48,748
Speaker 1: wasn't the question at hand. I know what you've done.

161
00:07:48,828 --> 00:07:50,988
Speaker 1: What I want to know is why it was in

162
00:07:51,068 --> 00:07:53,708
Speaker 1: there in the first place. We talked about the who, what, when, where,

163
00:07:53,708 --> 00:07:56,228
Speaker 1: why of journalism. I want to know why it was there.

164
00:07:56,388 --> 00:07:57,868
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with what you did in

165
00:07:57,948 --> 00:07:59,468
Speaker 1: high school. It has nothing to do with what you

166
00:07:59,508 --> 00:08:01,348
Speaker 1: did in college. It has a little bit to do

167
00:08:01,388 --> 00:08:03,068
Speaker 1: with what you did in the last two games in

168
00:08:03,108 --> 00:08:05,188
Speaker 1: the season last year, and what you have done with

169
00:08:05,228 --> 00:08:07,788
Speaker 1: the Cardinals thus far. I wanted him to call that

170
00:08:07,828 --> 00:08:12,988
Speaker 1: press conference and say, listen, I haven't done the highest

171
00:08:12,988 --> 00:08:16,948
Speaker 1: performances of my career yet with the Cardinals. I need

172
00:08:16,988 --> 00:08:19,948
Speaker 1: to take accountability of what I have yet to accomplish

173
00:08:19,988 --> 00:08:22,308
Speaker 1: with the Cardinals. There is a reason why I want

174
00:08:22,348 --> 00:08:24,628
Speaker 1: to be here, because I can accomplish these things with

175
00:08:24,628 --> 00:08:28,628
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, not I was the best high school quarterback

176
00:08:28,668 --> 00:08:32,548
Speaker 1: in Texas. Ever, I don't care. I don't care. This

177
00:08:32,628 --> 00:08:36,188
Speaker 1: is so frustrating. I want accountability and maturity. I feel

178
00:08:36,188 --> 00:08:38,908
Speaker 1: so when we see these contracts signed by young quarterbacks,

179
00:08:38,908 --> 00:08:41,708
Speaker 1: oftentimes for the franchise, it's a page turn and it's

180
00:08:41,748 --> 00:08:45,108
Speaker 1: such a launch for a rookie to sign this next

181
00:08:45,148 --> 00:08:47,068
Speaker 1: contract and say, now I get to make the money,

182
00:08:47,108 --> 00:08:48,948
Speaker 1: Now I get to pickome the face. But this is

183
00:08:48,988 --> 00:08:51,628
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. This is so frustrating, and I

184
00:08:51,668 --> 00:08:54,548
Speaker 1: just I'm happy he called the press conference. I'm so

185
00:08:54,628 --> 00:08:57,108
Speaker 1: frustrated with that is the direction he chose to go

186
00:08:57,188 --> 00:08:59,348
Speaker 1: with it. It's great. I almost feel like didn't totally

187
00:08:59,428 --> 00:09:01,668
Speaker 1: understand the story. It's almost as if he wasn't fully

188
00:09:01,668 --> 00:09:03,748
Speaker 1: prepared for the press conference, which is like call fifty

189
00:09:03,748 --> 00:09:05,828
Speaker 1: different layers of irony. Maybe there should be a new

190
00:09:05,868 --> 00:09:08,028
Speaker 1: clause and Mike, with due respect to like the wafer

191
00:09:08,068 --> 00:09:10,188
Speaker 1: you signed with the Eagles, this is a quarter of

192
00:09:10,188 --> 00:09:13,668
Speaker 1: a billion dollars contract. You gotta read it. And then

193
00:09:13,708 --> 00:09:16,068
Speaker 1: if your Asian desert present, you gotta read it yourself.

194
00:09:16,308 --> 00:09:18,108
Speaker 1: I know that's outlandish, and maybe you're doing the call

195
00:09:18,148 --> 00:09:20,748
Speaker 1: of duty while you're signing it. But also, Jason, he's

196
00:09:20,748 --> 00:09:22,828
Speaker 1: done very well. Okay, and he's done. It's great. He's

197
00:09:22,868 --> 00:09:25,388
Speaker 1: right out the stets. He sucked in that playoff. He

198
00:09:25,428 --> 00:09:27,308
Speaker 1: looked like he was not on the planet Earth. And

199
00:09:27,348 --> 00:09:29,388
Speaker 1: so when you start to hear by his own words,

200
00:09:29,428 --> 00:09:30,868
Speaker 1: by the way he read the New York Times, I

201
00:09:30,868 --> 00:09:32,628
Speaker 1: don't watch much films, not me. It just kind of

202
00:09:32,628 --> 00:09:35,068
Speaker 1: comes to me naturally. And then his own employer says,

203
00:09:35,308 --> 00:09:37,468
Speaker 1: we don't get watched much film either. Sign this like

204
00:09:37,708 --> 00:09:40,028
Speaker 1: it's all kind of there's not a lot of accountability,

205
00:09:40,068 --> 00:09:42,468
Speaker 1: like Jamie saying like he was seven or no team

206
00:09:42,548 --> 00:09:44,148
Speaker 1: last year, like they're like, oh my god, they're gonna

207
00:09:44,148 --> 00:09:46,788
Speaker 1: win the NFC. His stats second after you're terrible. He

208
00:09:46,828 --> 00:09:48,828
Speaker 1: fell off the table. So if it was because of

209
00:09:48,908 --> 00:09:51,748
Speaker 1: the preparation, that's on him. Yeah, But in the article

210
00:09:51,788 --> 00:09:54,508
Speaker 1: he said I don't watch twenty four hours a day

211
00:09:54,548 --> 00:09:56,828
Speaker 1: of film. He didn't say I don't watch film. We

212
00:09:57,028 --> 00:09:59,588
Speaker 1: just have heard some of these other quarterbacks that watch

213
00:09:59,868 --> 00:10:02,468
Speaker 1: I was with Brady. He watches a ton of film.

214
00:10:02,508 --> 00:10:04,268
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't he want to be like Brady? Well he's

215
00:10:04,428 --> 00:10:07,028
Speaker 1: now we're going to be Brady. Brady's able to stand

216
00:10:07,068 --> 00:10:10,308
Speaker 1: in the pocket and dissect you. That is not Kyler Murray.

217
00:10:10,428 --> 00:10:12,428
Speaker 1: It is never going to be Kyler Murray. Here's a

218
00:10:12,468 --> 00:10:15,788
Speaker 1: shorter quarterback. He's a guy who makes plays that aren't planned.

219
00:10:15,828 --> 00:10:17,868
Speaker 1: He wants to get outside and that's the way to

220
00:10:17,948 --> 00:10:20,428
Speaker 1: offense his design before us. They expect him to sit

221
00:10:20,508 --> 00:10:23,068
Speaker 1: back there. I'm sure a guy like Lamar Jackson isn't

222
00:10:23,108 --> 00:10:27,148
Speaker 1: looking at Hey, I'm gonna emulate my career after Tom Brady. No,

223
00:10:27,228 --> 00:10:29,868
Speaker 1: it's just not his game. They're watching the Michael Vicks

224
00:10:29,868 --> 00:10:31,588
Speaker 1: of the world seeing what he did. Yes, well, he

225
00:10:31,628 --> 00:10:33,548
Speaker 1: probably started to prepare more he wants to win those

226
00:10:33,548 --> 00:10:35,988
Speaker 1: big games in the playoffs. But we can't just discredit

227
00:10:36,068 --> 00:10:38,668
Speaker 1: him because he hasn't won in the Playoffsky's been in

228
00:10:38,748 --> 00:10:40,908
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl two out of three years as the

229
00:10:41,028 --> 00:10:44,348
Speaker 1: first overall pick Heisman Trophy one. What the implication is,

230
00:10:44,588 --> 00:10:46,188
Speaker 1: do you want to go to the Pro Bowl or

231
00:10:46,188 --> 00:10:47,708
Speaker 1: do you want to go to the Super Bowl. That's

232
00:10:47,748 --> 00:10:52,228
Speaker 1: the implication it needs. That is the question, all right.

233
00:10:52,228 --> 00:10:54,428
Speaker 1: Also in the NFCUS, we got some big news out

234
00:10:54,428 --> 00:10:58,748
Speaker 1: of Seattle last night. DK Metcalf gets a huge contract extension. Mike,

235
00:10:58,828 --> 00:11:00,508
Speaker 1: you were all over this one. What's up with the

236
00:11:00,748 --> 00:11:05,708
Speaker 1: ill over? Because Ian Rappapart was lying and frankly nice

237
00:11:05,948 --> 00:11:08,908
Speaker 1: beating me to a nice if he hadn't been sleeping

238
00:11:08,988 --> 00:11:15,868
Speaker 1: on the plane. Nap naport three years, seventy two million,

239
00:11:15,908 --> 00:11:18,988
Speaker 1: fifty eight point two million dollars in total guarantees for

240
00:11:19,068 --> 00:11:21,548
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf. That ends his hold in after a couple

241
00:11:21,548 --> 00:11:24,308
Speaker 1: of days. That's a victory for everybody involved right now

242
00:11:24,508 --> 00:11:26,988
Speaker 1: because last year Jamal Adams, it took three and a

243
00:11:27,028 --> 00:11:29,228
Speaker 1: half more weeks from right now for them to get

244
00:11:29,268 --> 00:11:30,948
Speaker 1: the deal done and he was holding in the whole time.

245
00:11:31,068 --> 00:11:32,948
Speaker 1: If you've got Drew Lock and you want him to

246
00:11:32,948 --> 00:11:34,908
Speaker 1: get some reps. You know Smith as well, but you

247
00:11:34,908 --> 00:11:36,388
Speaker 1: want him to get some reps and you want to

248
00:11:36,388 --> 00:11:38,268
Speaker 1: start getting a vibe going. It's good to have dk

249
00:11:38,428 --> 00:11:41,268
Speaker 1: Metcalf back at practice, and it's good to have dk

250
00:11:41,388 --> 00:11:44,708
Speaker 1: Metcalf paid. It's tough to really compare wide receiver deals

251
00:11:44,788 --> 00:11:48,108
Speaker 1: right now because they're structured very weirdly right now, summer backloaded,

252
00:11:48,148 --> 00:11:51,108
Speaker 1: summer frontloaded, summer long, summer short. This is a really

253
00:11:51,188 --> 00:11:52,508
Speaker 1: good deal and it gives him a chance to be

254
00:11:52,548 --> 00:11:54,668
Speaker 1: a free agent one more time before he turns thirty.

255
00:11:54,708 --> 00:11:56,908
Speaker 1: All I have to say is there's no independent workout clause.

256
00:11:59,988 --> 00:12:02,468
Speaker 1: All right, Training camp is here, so it's time to

257
00:12:02,508 --> 00:12:04,228
Speaker 1: talk about some of the biggest names of the story

258
00:12:04,428 --> 00:12:07,708
Speaker 1: lines of the summer with another edition of training Wheels,

259
00:12:07,748 --> 00:12:09,988
Speaker 1: which my three year old still has. Here's how it works.

260
00:12:10,028 --> 00:12:13,388
Speaker 1: Each of you will take a turn spinning our training wheel,

261
00:12:13,428 --> 00:12:16,748
Speaker 1: which has eight faces on it. Whichever the face of

262
00:12:16,788 --> 00:12:18,668
Speaker 1: the wheel it lands on, you'll have to answer a

263
00:12:18,748 --> 00:12:22,788
Speaker 1: question about them that makes sense. Yeah, okay, okay, okay,

264
00:12:23,108 --> 00:12:24,948
Speaker 1: we're gonna sart with Mike. Take a spin on our

265
00:12:24,988 --> 00:12:28,188
Speaker 1: training wheel. Oh yeah'll spit it. Okay, it's virtual, all right, Mike,

266
00:12:28,308 --> 00:12:30,748
Speaker 1: you landed on Oh well, Matt. And earlier this week,

267
00:12:30,788 --> 00:12:33,068
Speaker 1: he was asked about the goals, his goals for the season,

268
00:12:33,228 --> 00:12:35,028
Speaker 1: So we're gonna buy you some time here. Here's what

269
00:12:35,068 --> 00:12:37,268
Speaker 1: he had to say. I feel like, up to this

270
00:12:37,388 --> 00:12:40,908
Speaker 1: point of my career, I've accomplished things, but ultimately, you

271
00:12:40,948 --> 00:12:42,308
Speaker 1: want to get you want to get to a super

272
00:12:42,348 --> 00:12:43,668
Speaker 1: Bowl and you want to win it, and that's the

273
00:12:43,708 --> 00:12:45,628
Speaker 1: only thing on my mind at this point in my career.

274
00:12:46,668 --> 00:12:50,068
Speaker 1: Should the Chargers be considered legitimate Super Bowl contenders heading

275
00:12:50,108 --> 00:12:51,828
Speaker 1: into the season. That's what you say when you have

276
00:12:51,908 --> 00:12:54,868
Speaker 1: already been paid. It's not about the individuals, it's about

277
00:12:54,908 --> 00:12:56,788
Speaker 1: the team goals. And I love it and the team goal, yes,

278
00:12:56,948 --> 00:12:59,748
Speaker 1: should be absolutely. How should they be considered contenders? Yes,

279
00:12:59,908 --> 00:13:03,588
Speaker 1: my favorites contenders absolutely. Whoever comes out of that division,

280
00:13:03,628 --> 00:13:05,988
Speaker 1: whoever wins that division, is going to be battle tested,

281
00:13:06,148 --> 00:13:08,588
Speaker 1: and I give the Chargers a real chance to win

282
00:13:08,668 --> 00:13:11,228
Speaker 1: this division. They got a lot better on defense. They

283
00:13:11,268 --> 00:13:12,988
Speaker 1: needed to get better up the middle. A matter of fact,

284
00:13:13,148 --> 00:13:15,428
Speaker 1: Sebastian Joseph Day is the guy that I keep here

285
00:13:15,468 --> 00:13:17,748
Speaker 1: and other teams were like, we were really in on

286
00:13:17,788 --> 00:13:20,068
Speaker 1: that guy. We wanted to get him. They got a

287
00:13:20,108 --> 00:13:22,308
Speaker 1: lot better in areas on defense than they need it

288
00:13:22,308 --> 00:13:24,748
Speaker 1: to be, So this feels more like what Brandon Staley

289
00:13:24,788 --> 00:13:27,348
Speaker 1: wants to do. From a personnel standpoint. They should be

290
00:13:27,428 --> 00:13:29,508
Speaker 1: much better against the run. That is a big part

291
00:13:29,508 --> 00:13:31,868
Speaker 1: of what they're doing. Justin Herbert is an MVP candidate

292
00:13:31,868 --> 00:13:33,188
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball. I think this

293
00:13:33,188 --> 00:13:35,268
Speaker 1: team can put it together, and I think Brandon Staley

294
00:13:35,508 --> 00:13:38,188
Speaker 1: is firm in his belief of how he's going to

295
00:13:38,268 --> 00:13:40,868
Speaker 1: handle some of these tough decisions that he caught heat

296
00:13:40,908 --> 00:13:42,428
Speaker 1: for it last year. He says, no, that's how we're

297
00:13:42,468 --> 00:13:44,388
Speaker 1: doing business. I like the fact that he's staying the

298
00:13:44,428 --> 00:13:46,508
Speaker 1: course right there. They believe in him, He believes in

299
00:13:46,508 --> 00:13:49,308
Speaker 1: his players. Derwin James gonna get paid soon. Everybody's gonna

300
00:13:49,348 --> 00:13:52,268
Speaker 1: be happy, Chargers content. You heard it here on training wheels, man,

301
00:13:52,308 --> 00:13:53,668
Speaker 1: I love it. What a way to kick it off,

302
00:13:53,748 --> 00:13:55,988
Speaker 1: all right, Jason, it's your time to spin the wheel. Man,

303
00:13:56,068 --> 00:13:57,908
Speaker 1: get up here, give it a spin a real Oh

304
00:13:57,988 --> 00:14:01,028
Speaker 1: that was wealth mine? All right? All right? It was

305
00:14:01,108 --> 00:14:03,348
Speaker 1: very quickly, Eyrie Hill, I know. It really does kind

306
00:14:03,348 --> 00:14:05,068
Speaker 1: of makes you think about the other faces are in there.

307
00:14:05,388 --> 00:14:08,108
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill was asked yesterday about how defenses will react

308
00:14:08,148 --> 00:14:10,148
Speaker 1: to him and Jalen Waddle both being on the field

309
00:14:10,148 --> 00:14:12,028
Speaker 1: at the same time, and he quickly came up with

310
00:14:12,028 --> 00:14:15,268
Speaker 1: this answer, Oh, they're scary. I'm gonna tell you what.

311
00:14:15,388 --> 00:14:18,388
Speaker 1: Jaydub like he's faster than I thought. Like when I

312
00:14:18,428 --> 00:14:20,068
Speaker 1: first got here, I was like, Okay, he's a four

313
00:14:20,068 --> 00:14:22,388
Speaker 1: to three because typically, like when you see poll three guys,

314
00:14:22,508 --> 00:14:24,348
Speaker 1: they don't run his fast on the football field. But

315
00:14:24,588 --> 00:14:26,908
Speaker 1: Jaydub like he actually he actually runs a fholl three

316
00:14:26,908 --> 00:14:30,148
Speaker 1: on the football field. There's a difference. Jason, how do

317
00:14:30,188 --> 00:14:32,948
Speaker 1: you think opposing defenses will adjust to cover Hill and Waddle?

318
00:14:33,228 --> 00:14:36,868
Speaker 1: They will back up because, like he said, Jalen Waddle

319
00:14:36,988 --> 00:14:39,188
Speaker 1: is fast. When I first got to Miami last year,

320
00:14:39,388 --> 00:14:41,748
Speaker 1: the coaches on the defensive side of the ball, you

321
00:14:41,748 --> 00:14:44,588
Speaker 1: know what player, they said, He reminded them of Tyreek Hill,

322
00:14:44,788 --> 00:14:47,108
Speaker 1: the guy that's going to be on the other side.

323
00:14:47,268 --> 00:14:50,068
Speaker 1: Defenses will have to put guys up in their face

324
00:14:50,268 --> 00:14:52,948
Speaker 1: and then guys behind them. When I played against Tyreek

325
00:14:53,028 --> 00:14:54,948
Speaker 1: Hill when he was in Kansas City and I was

326
00:14:54,988 --> 00:14:58,348
Speaker 1: in New England, we put our fastest corner, Jonathan Jones

327
00:14:58,348 --> 00:15:00,388
Speaker 1: on him on the line of scrimmage, and we put

328
00:15:00,388 --> 00:15:04,308
Speaker 1: our fastest safety, Devil mccordy, behind him, and they shadow

329
00:15:04,508 --> 00:15:07,908
Speaker 1: him the entire game. What do you think they're gonna do? Now,

330
00:15:08,108 --> 00:15:09,948
Speaker 1: Now it's two of those guys, are you gonna have

331
00:15:10,028 --> 00:15:12,748
Speaker 1: to commit two to each of them? Jail and Waddle

332
00:15:12,828 --> 00:15:15,828
Speaker 1: led all rookies, broke a record in Miami last year

333
00:15:15,988 --> 00:15:20,028
Speaker 1: for receptions for a rookie wide receiver. These guys are

334
00:15:20,148 --> 00:15:23,228
Speaker 1: built for speed with the play action with most start

335
00:15:23,508 --> 00:15:25,468
Speaker 1: getting that ball and being able to run fast. And

336
00:15:25,468 --> 00:15:28,908
Speaker 1: then those guys on the outside defenses one two words

337
00:15:29,348 --> 00:15:32,708
Speaker 1: back up and I know, like he said, they're scared.

338
00:15:33,068 --> 00:15:34,828
Speaker 1: I can't say that word on TV. Look at the

339
00:15:34,948 --> 00:15:37,148
Speaker 1: humility out of you. You're just like I wasn't. The

340
00:15:37,148 --> 00:15:40,228
Speaker 1: fastest guy was thirty two, so maybe maybe when I

341
00:15:40,308 --> 00:15:43,948
Speaker 1: was twenty five. Yep, absolutely absolutely, all right, well done.

342
00:15:44,188 --> 00:15:46,028
Speaker 1: I like when the old grandmas can't spend the wheel,

343
00:15:46,028 --> 00:15:52,348
Speaker 1: so Barker has to help him. Yeah, right now, Kyle,

344
00:15:52,948 --> 00:15:56,268
Speaker 1: who do we got? Oh? Thank goodness, good Kenny Galladay.

345
00:15:56,388 --> 00:15:59,228
Speaker 1: Yesterday he sat down with Brian Baldiger and Mike Gee.

346
00:15:59,308 --> 00:16:01,508
Speaker 1: Before the end of their interview, Aldie had some keen

347
00:16:01,588 --> 00:16:07,188
Speaker 1: insights on what makes holiday a very special player. Receiver

348
00:16:07,308 --> 00:16:10,668
Speaker 1: size matters, Like I'm looking up here like reach, you know,

349
00:16:10,708 --> 00:16:13,188
Speaker 1: and that's like, yeah, that matters. He's got that big

350
00:16:13,228 --> 00:16:17,428
Speaker 1: window size matters. Does wide receiver size matter? What? What

351
00:16:17,628 --> 00:16:22,828
Speaker 1: pervert produced this question? Why was I assigned in? Believe me,

352
00:16:22,908 --> 00:16:26,788
Speaker 1: you're going the wrong place. You know what matters? Touchdowns matter?

353
00:16:26,988 --> 00:16:30,348
Speaker 1: Kenny galldess and scored a touchdown in two years? How

354
00:16:30,388 --> 00:16:32,188
Speaker 1: about the size of those stats? And I know he

355
00:16:32,228 --> 00:16:34,108
Speaker 1: gave us the interview and everything, and that's great, But

356
00:16:34,148 --> 00:16:36,148
Speaker 1: like Kenny Gallady, my god, you got you. We talk

357
00:16:36,188 --> 00:16:37,708
Speaker 1: about all these players who have to have a big

358
00:16:37,828 --> 00:16:40,468
Speaker 1: jump and have to break out this year. I don't

359
00:16:40,508 --> 00:16:42,068
Speaker 1: know if he's been on the planet. Last year, I

360
00:16:42,068 --> 00:16:43,908
Speaker 1: don't know if he existed because all the focuses on

361
00:16:43,988 --> 00:16:45,908
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. But like, he literally did not score a

362
00:16:45,988 --> 00:16:47,508
Speaker 1: touchdown last last one he caught I think it was

363
00:16:47,508 --> 00:16:50,028
Speaker 1: from Stafford with the Lions. So he looks great. He

364
00:16:50,068 --> 00:16:52,988
Speaker 1: looks very tall, he looks very muscular. He does have size.

365
00:16:53,028 --> 00:16:55,348
Speaker 1: But like, Mike, can you talk? You were there? What

366
00:16:55,428 --> 00:16:58,108
Speaker 1: about the pure electricity of talking to Kenny Galladay? Kenny

367
00:16:58,188 --> 00:17:00,108
Speaker 1: was pretty good. What is Kenny would Well? I asked

368
00:17:00,148 --> 00:17:02,548
Speaker 1: him what his goals were for the upcoming season, and

369
00:17:02,828 --> 00:17:05,508
Speaker 1: he gave me one. It was like a team oriented goal,

370
00:17:05,748 --> 00:17:07,348
Speaker 1: and then he said the rest of them. I'm not

371
00:17:07,388 --> 00:17:09,868
Speaker 1: going to tell you. He's internalizing it this year. I

372
00:17:09,908 --> 00:17:11,188
Speaker 1: told him, I said, we're gonna come back at the

373
00:17:11,268 --> 00:17:12,828
Speaker 1: end of the season and you tell me what those

374
00:17:12,828 --> 00:17:15,188
Speaker 1: goals were, especially if you hit those goals. So he's

375
00:17:16,108 --> 00:17:18,628
Speaker 1: feeling a lot better. The last regime things didn't really

376
00:17:18,668 --> 00:17:21,668
Speaker 1: work for him. This offense now is really going to

377
00:17:21,748 --> 00:17:23,908
Speaker 1: be tailored to making these guys, putting these guys in

378
00:17:23,908 --> 00:17:26,308
Speaker 1: a position to succeed. So they're excited about that. There's

379
00:17:26,308 --> 00:17:29,028
Speaker 1: a different kind of energy right now with these offensive guys.

380
00:17:29,028 --> 00:17:31,668
Speaker 1: So we'll see that that Jason Garrett offense was a

381
00:17:31,668 --> 00:17:35,028
Speaker 1: little stagnant, understand, and it didn't really work for their personnel.

382
00:17:35,068 --> 00:17:37,308
Speaker 1: So these guys are excited about what Brian Dable is doing.

383
00:17:37,308 --> 00:17:39,748
Speaker 1: We'll see coming up, where do you Lamar Jackson and

384
00:17:39,868 --> 00:17:41,908
Speaker 1: the Raven stands when it comes to a new deal

385
00:17:42,108 --> 00:17:46,908
Speaker 1: here from Lamar himself when we return Lamarkable, well, well,

386
00:17:47,148 --> 00:18:05,948
Speaker 1: let's remain to be seen where the former VB Lamar Jackson,

387
00:18:05,948 --> 00:18:08,828
Speaker 1: it's still in talks for his big contract. Well, yesterday camp,

388
00:18:08,948 --> 00:18:11,188
Speaker 1: he addressed some of his critics and talked about when

389
00:18:11,268 --> 00:18:15,788
Speaker 1: that deal just might get done. I mean, I guess

390
00:18:15,788 --> 00:18:17,468
Speaker 1: this is what comes with it when you're trying to

391
00:18:17,508 --> 00:18:19,708
Speaker 1: be great, trying to rink your tail off. It's gonna

392
00:18:19,708 --> 00:18:22,028
Speaker 1: be negativity. But you know, they hated Jesus and I'm

393
00:18:22,068 --> 00:18:24,108
Speaker 1: not Jesus, so I don't an't ready rare about it.

394
00:18:24,188 --> 00:18:25,708
Speaker 1: They don't know what I got going on. They don't

395
00:18:25,748 --> 00:18:28,708
Speaker 1: know what I'm thinking. No, that's just he says, She say, really,

396
00:18:28,788 --> 00:18:35,708
Speaker 1: but nobody know what I'm thinking. Set them upstairs. You No,

397
00:18:35,788 --> 00:18:38,708
Speaker 1: I probably gonna be a cut off at some point. Yeah,

398
00:18:38,948 --> 00:18:44,708
Speaker 1: something I think, so, I think, so we have to

399
00:18:44,748 --> 00:18:48,748
Speaker 1: see it's gonna be a cutoff. So hopefully all right.

400
00:18:48,908 --> 00:18:52,108
Speaker 1: Lamar being a bit cagy there with the timeline and

401
00:18:52,268 --> 00:18:54,868
Speaker 1: just his own strategy, and it truly is his own

402
00:18:54,948 --> 00:18:58,148
Speaker 1: strategy going into these meetings. Um So, guys, let's start

403
00:18:58,148 --> 00:19:00,628
Speaker 1: with the confidence level and if you are confident that

404
00:19:00,748 --> 00:19:03,868
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's deal will get done before this season starts,

405
00:19:03,948 --> 00:19:07,468
Speaker 1: Mike am I confidence, I'm not confidence is zero confidence

406
00:19:07,508 --> 00:19:09,468
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying it's not gonna get done. I'm

407
00:19:09,468 --> 00:19:11,188
Speaker 1: just saying I have no read on this because Lamar

408
00:19:11,268 --> 00:19:15,828
Speaker 1: Jackson's agent is not Jimmy Sexton, David Dunn, Todd France,

409
00:19:16,028 --> 00:19:18,388
Speaker 1: Tom Condon, one of these names that you've heard connected

410
00:19:18,428 --> 00:19:21,308
Speaker 1: with some players. It's Felicia Jones. That's his mother. And fine,

411
00:19:21,788 --> 00:19:23,948
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you should have an agent. I'm

412
00:19:23,948 --> 00:19:25,628
Speaker 1: not gonna get into that debate here. What I'm saying

413
00:19:25,748 --> 00:19:28,068
Speaker 1: is that's the wild card in all this. This has

414
00:19:28,108 --> 00:19:32,068
Speaker 1: not been a typical negotiation. And when this first started out,

415
00:19:32,068 --> 00:19:35,308
Speaker 1: I was told that the Ravens were sending Jackson offers

416
00:19:35,308 --> 00:19:37,708
Speaker 1: and usually the agent will counter. There were no counters.

417
00:19:37,748 --> 00:19:39,428
Speaker 1: It was just kind of like okay, cool, well yeah

418
00:19:39,468 --> 00:19:41,108
Speaker 1: we're not going to sign that, and it would just

419
00:19:41,148 --> 00:19:42,868
Speaker 1: kind of go for a while. So it's just not

420
00:19:42,948 --> 00:19:45,748
Speaker 1: a typical flow here. So I have no confidence. I

421
00:19:45,748 --> 00:19:47,468
Speaker 1: don't know how this is gonna work out. There is

422
00:19:47,508 --> 00:19:53,948
Speaker 1: something refreshing though, the confidence or the swagger. I don't know.

423
00:19:54,028 --> 00:19:57,028
Speaker 1: Maybe it's cockiness of Lamar Jackson to be like, yeah,

424
00:19:57,028 --> 00:19:59,148
Speaker 1: I don't We'll figure out because I'm gonna be a

425
00:19:59,228 --> 00:20:01,868
Speaker 1: quarterback in this league, and of this franchise for a while,

426
00:20:02,468 --> 00:20:05,668
Speaker 1: it'll come. I got the com to me and I

427
00:20:05,668 --> 00:20:07,748
Speaker 1: could power through this and continue to play. Well, yeah,

428
00:20:07,748 --> 00:20:09,508
Speaker 1: I'll get it whatever. Yeah to what you just said,

429
00:20:09,508 --> 00:20:11,588
Speaker 1: I think that's just kind of who he is, where

430
00:20:11,588 --> 00:20:13,948
Speaker 1: he grew up, how he grew up, and everything about

431
00:20:14,028 --> 00:20:15,948
Speaker 1: him is that he's not a guy that's gonna sweat

432
00:20:15,948 --> 00:20:17,908
Speaker 1: these things. His main focus, I'm gonna go out here,

433
00:20:17,908 --> 00:20:20,468
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have fun. His teammates love him, obviously, the

434
00:20:20,588 --> 00:20:22,788
Speaker 1: organization says they love him, so he just wants to

435
00:20:22,908 --> 00:20:25,868
Speaker 1: go there, have fun and enjoy playing. But along with you,

436
00:20:26,428 --> 00:20:28,948
Speaker 1: how could you have confidence that this is gonna get done?

437
00:20:29,028 --> 00:20:32,388
Speaker 1: I mean, Lamar Jackson is an MVP winner, Like, there's

438
00:20:32,388 --> 00:20:34,988
Speaker 1: no reason for his deal not to be done yet.

439
00:20:35,028 --> 00:20:36,628
Speaker 1: Like I start to wonder, and I mean, we have

440
00:20:36,628 --> 00:20:38,348
Speaker 1: our inside here. He knows a lot more than me.

441
00:20:38,388 --> 00:20:40,628
Speaker 1: But I start to wonder what kind of deals is

442
00:20:40,628 --> 00:20:43,148
Speaker 1: he being offered? Because this is the same guy who

443
00:20:43,228 --> 00:20:45,468
Speaker 1: won an MVP. He's gone to the same spot in

444
00:20:45,508 --> 00:20:49,028
Speaker 1: the playoffs as Josh Allen as a quarterback. Is he

445
00:20:49,108 --> 00:20:52,028
Speaker 1: being offered that type of deal? Is he being offered

446
00:20:52,068 --> 00:20:55,588
Speaker 1: the Deshaun Watson to Kyler Murray type of deal and

447
00:20:55,748 --> 00:20:57,908
Speaker 1: is that what he's not responding to or is the

448
00:20:57,988 --> 00:20:59,908
Speaker 1: deal a lot less? And he's looking at and it's

449
00:20:59,948 --> 00:21:02,068
Speaker 1: just like, hey, this isn't even in the ballpark or

450
00:21:02,148 --> 00:21:04,788
Speaker 1: what these other guys are like, We're not even gonna here,

451
00:21:04,788 --> 00:21:07,948
Speaker 1: So I wonder what it is that's going on. Why

452
00:21:07,988 --> 00:21:10,348
Speaker 1: there's not And like he said, none of us know

453
00:21:10,388 --> 00:21:12,428
Speaker 1: what he's thinking or anybody else, So we're all just

454
00:21:12,468 --> 00:21:15,308
Speaker 1: speculating from the outside looking in. Well, I mean, it's

455
00:21:15,348 --> 00:21:19,108
Speaker 1: getting late here, we're reaching the last supper portion of

456
00:21:19,108 --> 00:21:20,788
Speaker 1: this thing. And this is for a guy who walks

457
00:21:20,788 --> 00:21:23,308
Speaker 1: on water. Someone's gonna have to change water wine quickly.

458
00:21:23,868 --> 00:21:25,828
Speaker 1: He's warn the crowny thorn of the MVP. My god,

459
00:21:25,868 --> 00:21:28,068
Speaker 1: I'm going back to Sunday School. No, we've actually reached

460
00:21:28,068 --> 00:21:31,748
Speaker 1: the comparison to Jesus Christ level of the story. That

461
00:21:31,828 --> 00:21:33,668
Speaker 1: was a hell of a quote, so to speak from Lamar.

462
00:21:33,828 --> 00:21:35,788
Speaker 1: We don't know, We're never gonna know. It's always gonna

463
00:21:35,788 --> 00:21:37,308
Speaker 1: be unique with Lamar. I don't want to use the

464
00:21:37,308 --> 00:21:39,388
Speaker 1: word weird. It's just it's unique. It was a very

465
00:21:39,468 --> 00:21:42,308
Speaker 1: unique draft process, very unique. No one knew who to

466
00:21:42,308 --> 00:21:43,908
Speaker 1: talk to. It wouldn't run a forty, And I think

467
00:21:43,908 --> 00:21:45,788
Speaker 1: it always going to be let's just settle in because

468
00:21:45,828 --> 00:21:47,988
Speaker 1: at some point after this deal and when he wants

469
00:21:48,028 --> 00:21:49,868
Speaker 1: another contract five years from now, or when he wants

470
00:21:49,868 --> 00:21:51,508
Speaker 1: to leave the Ravens or he wants to retire, it's

471
00:21:51,508 --> 00:21:54,068
Speaker 1: always going to be unique. The whole rep thing, the

472
00:21:54,108 --> 00:21:55,988
Speaker 1: whole I'm just kind of laid back and I want

473
00:21:55,988 --> 00:21:58,668
Speaker 1: to play ball. The problem is, and I know that Jason,

474
00:21:58,708 --> 00:22:01,708
Speaker 1: this particularly drives the X players crazy. They're like, dude,

475
00:22:02,028 --> 00:22:04,468
Speaker 1: get your money, are you crazy? And of all the

476
00:22:04,468 --> 00:22:06,188
Speaker 1: players in league, could you pick another player in the

477
00:22:06,348 --> 00:22:09,468
Speaker 1: entire NFL who would want to have the contract before

478
00:22:09,468 --> 00:22:11,908
Speaker 1: they stepped on the field of than Lamar Jackson, whose

479
00:22:11,948 --> 00:22:14,068
Speaker 1: game is based on, Oh, I'm gonna run and I'm

480
00:22:14,068 --> 00:22:16,388
Speaker 1: gonna have to take some hits, Like there's a million

481
00:22:16,428 --> 00:22:18,828
Speaker 1: guys who should have less risk than he does, and

482
00:22:18,908 --> 00:22:20,828
Speaker 1: yet he's still so laid back. And I think the

483
00:22:20,948 --> 00:22:23,708
Speaker 1: Ravens are like, if he's not pushing for it right

484
00:22:24,268 --> 00:22:27,988
Speaker 1: really in any hurry, because normally we got the Rosenhouse

485
00:22:28,028 --> 00:22:30,508
Speaker 1: type spain, like my players not showing up. So if

486
00:22:30,508 --> 00:22:32,788
Speaker 1: the players not insisting and Lamar's is gonna be out there.

487
00:22:33,068 --> 00:22:35,068
Speaker 1: Why would we be in our interest to go out

488
00:22:35,108 --> 00:22:36,748
Speaker 1: there and pay him. He's sitting there. You know how

489
00:22:36,828 --> 00:22:39,068
Speaker 1: much Large Jackson made last year? He made about three million.

490
00:22:39,188 --> 00:22:42,428
Speaker 1: He's made only nine million, nine million MVP and a guy.

491
00:22:42,508 --> 00:22:45,668
Speaker 1: It's it's unbelievable. So I don't have the answer either

492
00:22:45,748 --> 00:22:48,188
Speaker 1: other than this is how it's gonna go with Lamar

493
00:22:48,508 --> 00:22:51,268
Speaker 1: laid back, different, unique, and I don't think we're gonna

494
00:22:51,268 --> 00:22:52,588
Speaker 1: get the answer, and I don't think we're gonna get

495
00:22:52,628 --> 00:22:55,108
Speaker 1: up before the season. So the logistics of this is,

496
00:22:55,108 --> 00:22:57,988
Speaker 1: you're telling me that the man is gonna go to

497
00:22:58,068 --> 00:23:00,668
Speaker 1: training camp, practice, he's going to perform, he's gonna be

498
00:23:00,708 --> 00:23:03,188
Speaker 1: the face of your franchise. Then he's gonna walk up

499
00:23:03,228 --> 00:23:05,788
Speaker 1: the stairs and sit down in these meetings. Maybe he

500
00:23:05,788 --> 00:23:07,628
Speaker 1: gets a shower and change and put on a button

501
00:23:07,628 --> 00:23:09,948
Speaker 1: down and then have these talks with his mother in

502
00:23:09,988 --> 00:23:12,188
Speaker 1: the room right after he just practiced for you. What

503
00:23:12,228 --> 00:23:14,028
Speaker 1: if he has a bad day, does he like get

504
00:23:14,108 --> 00:23:16,148
Speaker 1: knocked a million dollars that day on whatever they were

505
00:23:16,148 --> 00:23:18,548
Speaker 1: going to offer him. It's just the logistics of how

506
00:23:18,588 --> 00:23:20,548
Speaker 1: these conversations are supposed to go. Because now we're in

507
00:23:20,588 --> 00:23:22,348
Speaker 1: training camp. I'd be one thing if this was May

508
00:23:22,748 --> 00:23:25,148
Speaker 1: and he had gotten this done because we just quite

509
00:23:25,148 --> 00:23:27,348
Speaker 1: hadn't seen maybe how he came back from the summertime

510
00:23:27,428 --> 00:23:29,788
Speaker 1: or but the fact that this is still happening gives

511
00:23:29,788 --> 00:23:32,748
Speaker 1: me zero confidence that there's any urgency. I feel like

512
00:23:32,788 --> 00:23:34,988
Speaker 1: that's the world we're missing here, is urgency for this

513
00:23:35,028 --> 00:23:37,308
Speaker 1: to get done on either side, for him to make

514
00:23:37,348 --> 00:23:39,628
Speaker 1: the money that he is so well deserved, and for

515
00:23:39,708 --> 00:23:42,228
Speaker 1: the team to lock somebody up that is supposed to

516
00:23:42,308 --> 00:23:44,748
Speaker 1: be in a position the face of your franchise. I

517
00:23:44,828 --> 00:23:47,388
Speaker 1: just I don't understand where they think this is going

518
00:23:47,468 --> 00:23:51,068
Speaker 1: to go well if anything happens in training camp, God

519
00:23:51,068 --> 00:23:54,108
Speaker 1: forbids something were to happen to him tomorrow. He ended

520
00:23:54,148 --> 00:23:56,668
Speaker 1: the season hurt last year, Yeah, and didn't come back

521
00:23:56,708 --> 00:23:58,508
Speaker 1: as quickly as he was supposed to. Yeah, so I

522
00:23:59,188 --> 00:24:01,388
Speaker 1: want real quickly. I was talking to an agent yesterday

523
00:24:01,388 --> 00:24:03,388
Speaker 1: who's got a guy who wants a contract, and he said,

524
00:24:03,428 --> 00:24:05,268
Speaker 1: here's what's on the table. I promised that I wouldn't

525
00:24:05,268 --> 00:24:07,548
Speaker 1: say anything, so I'll just keep it vague. And I said, well,

526
00:24:07,548 --> 00:24:09,908
Speaker 1: that's nowhere near the top of the market, and he goes, yeah,

527
00:24:09,948 --> 00:24:12,548
Speaker 1: but he could put thirty million dollars in your pocket

528
00:24:12,628 --> 00:24:14,468
Speaker 1: right now, and I'm trying to tell my client, you

529
00:24:14,588 --> 00:24:16,828
Speaker 1: really want to play this out, so I'm willing to

530
00:24:16,828 --> 00:24:19,348
Speaker 1: take the rest. And that's usually what an agent will say,

531
00:24:19,388 --> 00:24:21,268
Speaker 1: is like, let's get it. Will just say like, I

532
00:24:21,268 --> 00:24:22,628
Speaker 1: got a guy and he's trying to get me thirty

533
00:24:22,628 --> 00:24:25,428
Speaker 1: million dollars. That's great. Um, let's flash back to the

534
00:24:25,468 --> 00:24:27,828
Speaker 1: wild Car Round when the Cowboys lost the forty nine

535
00:24:27,868 --> 00:24:31,628
Speaker 1: ers in a head scratching fashion. Dak Prescott drove down

536
00:24:31,668 --> 00:24:34,268
Speaker 1: the field, gets tangled up with a referee trying to

537
00:24:34,268 --> 00:24:38,268
Speaker 1: set the ball, time expires. It was a very confusing.

538
00:24:38,388 --> 00:24:41,148
Speaker 1: It was confusing for Twitter. Everyone wanted to ask a question.

539
00:24:41,308 --> 00:24:43,748
Speaker 1: And now Dak is speaking to this moment. Spokes to

540
00:24:43,748 --> 00:24:45,828
Speaker 1: the media yesterday and said it is a memory that

541
00:24:45,908 --> 00:24:50,828
Speaker 1: he frequently visits, as we all do. Frankly, there's times

542
00:24:50,828 --> 00:24:53,228
Speaker 1: that you reflect back, give chat bowling credit. I started

543
00:24:53,268 --> 00:24:55,228
Speaker 1: off kind of with a meeting about that and showed

544
00:24:55,228 --> 00:24:58,308
Speaker 1: a video of the press conferences, my press conferences, Zeke's

545
00:24:58,348 --> 00:24:59,948
Speaker 1: and just kind of a video just to make sure

546
00:24:59,948 --> 00:25:02,148
Speaker 1: that we reflect and keep that in our mind. Anthony

547
00:25:02,148 --> 00:25:04,468
Speaker 1: Brown broke down the group yesterday. I mentioned as well, Oh,

548
00:25:04,588 --> 00:25:06,828
Speaker 1: so that feeling is a nasty feeling, and that's the

549
00:25:06,828 --> 00:25:08,508
Speaker 1: one that when you think about you want to go work,

550
00:25:08,548 --> 00:25:09,748
Speaker 1: You want to go do whatever you can to make

551
00:25:09,788 --> 00:25:12,548
Speaker 1: sure that you don't feel that way again. So Dak

552
00:25:12,588 --> 00:25:15,988
Speaker 1: Prescott says, the Cowboys are actively trying to remember what

553
00:25:15,988 --> 00:25:17,668
Speaker 1: it felt like to lose to the forty nine ers

554
00:25:17,668 --> 00:25:20,148
Speaker 1: in the wild car round, watching that press conference and

555
00:25:20,628 --> 00:25:23,908
Speaker 1: rewatching the final play of that game. It's interesting to

556
00:25:23,908 --> 00:25:27,108
Speaker 1: say they're actively trying to remember this happen, as if

557
00:25:27,148 --> 00:25:29,348
Speaker 1: it doesn't haunt them actively, it's only they have to

558
00:25:29,508 --> 00:25:31,588
Speaker 1: try to bring this back up. What are the pros

559
00:25:31,628 --> 00:25:35,788
Speaker 1: and cons of revisiting such a negative experience as opposed

560
00:25:35,828 --> 00:25:38,308
Speaker 1: to putting it behind you and focusing on the future.

561
00:25:38,588 --> 00:25:42,828
Speaker 1: Are you four or against this type of exposure. I'm four.

562
00:25:43,308 --> 00:25:46,308
Speaker 1: I think you have to revisit the past to know

563
00:25:46,388 --> 00:25:49,148
Speaker 1: what's coming ahead in the future. I can remember and

564
00:25:49,348 --> 00:25:52,868
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, I'm playing for New England Patriots. We're getting

565
00:25:52,908 --> 00:25:56,668
Speaker 1: ready to play against the Indianapolis Colts. Frank Reich is

566
00:25:56,708 --> 00:25:59,548
Speaker 1: the head coach for the Colts. But this week we're

567
00:25:59,628 --> 00:26:04,388
Speaker 1: watching highlights from the Super Bowl fifty two. I'm sitting

568
00:26:04,388 --> 00:26:06,428
Speaker 1: in there, and I'm wondering, why are we watching it now?

569
00:26:07,228 --> 00:26:11,148
Speaker 1: But Frank Wright was the Eagles offensive coordinator, so we

570
00:26:11,188 --> 00:26:13,588
Speaker 1: had to prepare for what they might do to us

571
00:26:13,628 --> 00:26:16,308
Speaker 1: because Hale it worked in the Super Bowl, they put

572
00:26:16,388 --> 00:26:18,428
Speaker 1: up a lot of points and a lot of yards

573
00:26:18,468 --> 00:26:21,108
Speaker 1: on our defense. Fast forward to that Thursday night game,

574
00:26:21,148 --> 00:26:23,228
Speaker 1: we're of twenty four to three in the first half,

575
00:26:23,348 --> 00:26:25,308
Speaker 1: and we ended up beating up on the Colt the

576
00:26:25,388 --> 00:26:28,548
Speaker 1: first time I ever beat Andrew Luck because when he

577
00:26:28,588 --> 00:26:31,508
Speaker 1: was in Indianapolis, every time we played against some I lost.

578
00:26:31,548 --> 00:26:33,668
Speaker 1: So it was a good feeling. I was able to

579
00:26:33,748 --> 00:26:35,828
Speaker 1: learn from the past the mistakes they made in that

580
00:26:35,948 --> 00:26:38,468
Speaker 1: Super Bowl that help prepare us for the Thursday night

581
00:26:38,468 --> 00:26:41,428
Speaker 1: game to beat the indian Apolally, it depends what you're doing, though.

582
00:26:41,428 --> 00:26:44,108
Speaker 1: Are you watching film because you're trying to take something

583
00:26:44,188 --> 00:26:46,388
Speaker 1: from what you happened in the past to learn from

584
00:26:46,388 --> 00:26:48,668
Speaker 1: it that you can use keys going forward, or are

585
00:26:48,668 --> 00:26:50,868
Speaker 1: you doing it because you just want to flog yourself

586
00:26:50,868 --> 00:26:53,828
Speaker 1: and say this is never gonna happen again. Because I remember,

587
00:26:53,828 --> 00:26:55,948
Speaker 1: going back to when I was covering the Eagles back

588
00:26:55,948 --> 00:26:57,988
Speaker 1: in two thousand and two, I guess it was and

589
00:26:58,068 --> 00:27:00,388
Speaker 1: Donovan McNabb was saying, I never went back and watched

590
00:27:00,428 --> 00:27:03,068
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game that we lost to the Rams,

591
00:27:03,108 --> 00:27:05,828
Speaker 1: and it was this controversial. How could he not go

592
00:27:05,908 --> 00:27:07,948
Speaker 1: back and revisited that game. Well, if they were playing

593
00:27:08,028 --> 00:27:10,068
Speaker 1: the Rams, or there was some kind of coach connection

594
00:27:10,268 --> 00:27:11,788
Speaker 1: like you were talking about, and you go back and

595
00:27:11,828 --> 00:27:14,268
Speaker 1: watch that game, that's one thing. But if you're an

596
00:27:14,268 --> 00:27:17,548
Speaker 1: emotional person and going back and revisiting this is only

597
00:27:17,588 --> 00:27:20,388
Speaker 1: going to send you in a spiral, a downward spiral,

598
00:27:20,628 --> 00:27:23,068
Speaker 1: then avoid it, no problem. But if you're Dak Prescott,

599
00:27:23,068 --> 00:27:24,708
Speaker 1: who says, you know, I want to remember that, I

600
00:27:24,748 --> 00:27:26,548
Speaker 1: want that feeling. I want that to motivate me for

601
00:27:26,628 --> 00:27:28,988
Speaker 1: that upcoming season. Fine, you've just got to do whatever

602
00:27:29,068 --> 00:27:31,748
Speaker 1: works for you. I agree. I love it too. I

603
00:27:31,828 --> 00:27:33,948
Speaker 1: adore teen PR people. I think some of them are

604
00:27:33,948 --> 00:27:37,028
Speaker 1: some of my favorite people in my life. But I

605
00:27:37,108 --> 00:27:39,868
Speaker 1: hate how it's become the narrative to just be like, wet,

606
00:27:39,988 --> 00:27:42,028
Speaker 1: we don't talk about that stuff that didn't happen to us,

607
00:27:42,068 --> 00:27:44,588
Speaker 1: let's look ahead, let's look at that is not real life.

608
00:27:44,628 --> 00:27:47,508
Speaker 1: Of course, this stuff hangs with them, so to actually

609
00:27:47,548 --> 00:27:49,988
Speaker 1: acknowledge and have an honest answer, that this is still

610
00:27:50,028 --> 00:27:52,468
Speaker 1: hanging over these guys heads as it was the rest

611
00:27:52,468 --> 00:27:54,508
Speaker 1: of us. Is it all unfolded in front of our eyes.

612
00:27:54,908 --> 00:27:57,268
Speaker 1: Is legitimate, It's valid, And if you want to use

613
00:27:57,268 --> 00:27:59,548
Speaker 1: that for some of the most competitive people on the

614
00:27:59,628 --> 00:28:03,388
Speaker 1: planet as some juice, so be it. I agree. In

615
00:28:03,468 --> 00:28:06,028
Speaker 1: most cases, one of the best things that happened to

616
00:28:06,108 --> 00:28:08,788
Speaker 1: this play was the Bills losing to the Chiefs in

617
00:28:08,828 --> 00:28:11,068
Speaker 1: overtime on a coin toss, because that's what the offseason

618
00:28:11,108 --> 00:28:13,228
Speaker 1: was about. That was about the thirteen seconds and the

619
00:28:13,228 --> 00:28:15,348
Speaker 1: controversy and changing the rule. Had it not been for

620
00:28:15,388 --> 00:28:16,908
Speaker 1: that play, we're talking about this one a lot more

621
00:28:16,948 --> 00:28:20,748
Speaker 1: because it's one of the most woeful, ugly, awkward endings

622
00:28:20,748 --> 00:28:24,028
Speaker 1: to a season you've ever seen in any sport ever,

623
00:28:24,108 --> 00:28:27,028
Speaker 1: and your home field against like a classic rival. So

624
00:28:27,188 --> 00:28:29,308
Speaker 1: does that do you any good to watch that? I don't.

625
00:28:29,348 --> 00:28:31,268
Speaker 1: It just seems to me that maybe you look forward.

626
00:28:31,388 --> 00:28:34,548
Speaker 1: Every single fiber of the Dallas Cowboys organization is about

627
00:28:34,588 --> 00:28:37,988
Speaker 1: the past twenty five years ago, fifty years ago, six

628
00:28:38,068 --> 00:28:40,788
Speaker 1: months ago. It's not also like, all right, so the

629
00:28:40,828 --> 00:28:43,108
Speaker 1: season ended because the receiver dropped a pass or you

630
00:28:43,108 --> 00:28:45,628
Speaker 1: made the wrong read. It ended in this weird, discombobulated

631
00:28:45,708 --> 00:28:48,948
Speaker 1: psychological breakdown between the sideline and on the field. Like

632
00:28:49,108 --> 00:28:51,748
Speaker 1: it wasn't something about because I dropped that pass, I'm

633
00:28:51,748 --> 00:28:54,948
Speaker 1: going to get extra sessions with the jugs machines all offseason. No,

634
00:28:55,068 --> 00:28:57,388
Speaker 1: it was just like the whole thing just exploded. I

635
00:28:57,428 --> 00:29:00,748
Speaker 1: don't know what would be constructive about watching that and

636
00:29:00,828 --> 00:29:03,708
Speaker 1: for me the Dallas Cowboys, anything about the actual present

637
00:29:03,788 --> 00:29:06,468
Speaker 1: in future that is not the past is a constructive

638
00:29:06,468 --> 00:29:08,348
Speaker 1: step forward. So I wouldn't move forward if I was there.

639
00:29:08,468 --> 00:29:10,628
Speaker 1: Maybe this is what happened. Dak Prescott walks into Mike

640
00:29:10,668 --> 00:29:12,948
Speaker 1: McCarthy's office and he's like, I got you. I'm not

641
00:29:12,988 --> 00:29:15,108
Speaker 1: gonna have anybody to talk about your job security anymore.

642
00:29:15,148 --> 00:29:17,348
Speaker 1: I'll bring that playback up and that's the thing that

643
00:29:17,348 --> 00:29:19,388
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about, and then we can refocus

644
00:29:19,388 --> 00:29:21,028
Speaker 1: the energy on the fact that we're thinking about that

645
00:29:21,108 --> 00:29:39,148
Speaker 1: play and not whether or not he is the guy.

646
00:29:40,468 --> 00:29:42,948
Speaker 1: Let's go from the NFC West to the NFC South,

647
00:29:42,948 --> 00:29:45,668
Speaker 1: where our own Steve Watch is at Falcons training camp

648
00:29:45,708 --> 00:29:49,068
Speaker 1: in Flowery Branch, Georgia. Steve, how are you do we

649
00:29:49,108 --> 00:29:52,028
Speaker 1: have a quarterback battle brewing down there. What are you

650
00:29:52,028 --> 00:29:55,828
Speaker 1: hearing about Marcus Mariota and their third round pick Desmond Ritter. Well,

651
00:29:55,868 --> 00:29:58,468
Speaker 1: good morning, Jamie, and what you're hearing is that is

652
00:29:58,508 --> 00:30:02,828
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota's job to lose. Quarterback coach Charles London told

653
00:30:02,868 --> 00:30:06,348
Speaker 1: The Athletic earlier this week that Marcus Mariota, with the

654
00:30:06,388 --> 00:30:09,748
Speaker 1: caveat right now, is the starter. So in about thirty

655
00:30:09,788 --> 00:30:12,348
Speaker 1: minutes when the team takes the field, Mariota will be

656
00:30:12,428 --> 00:30:15,468
Speaker 1: working with the ones. And remember he's the veteran who

657
00:30:15,548 --> 00:30:19,148
Speaker 1: actually played in Tennessee with head coach Arthur Smith, so

658
00:30:19,228 --> 00:30:21,708
Speaker 1: he's familiar with the system, he's familiar with how Smith

659
00:30:22,268 --> 00:30:24,788
Speaker 1: likes to coach. But that doesn't mean they don't like

660
00:30:24,868 --> 00:30:27,988
Speaker 1: Desmond ritterd speaking with somebody, they said, the rookie out

661
00:30:27,988 --> 00:30:31,108
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati has done everything they've asked him to do.

662
00:30:31,228 --> 00:30:33,468
Speaker 1: And in the first two days of practices without pads,

663
00:30:33,708 --> 00:30:36,308
Speaker 1: people are saying he's looked good, he's made certain throws,

664
00:30:36,748 --> 00:30:39,628
Speaker 1: he's doing again what they want him to do. But

665
00:30:39,708 --> 00:30:43,788
Speaker 1: Mariota's familiarity is a very important thing. And also, let's

666
00:30:43,828 --> 00:30:47,068
Speaker 1: call up their first seven games. This may be some

667
00:30:47,148 --> 00:30:50,268
Speaker 1: of the toughest opening schedule that any team will have.

668
00:30:50,788 --> 00:30:52,588
Speaker 1: Do you think the Falcons really want to put a

669
00:30:52,668 --> 00:30:55,268
Speaker 1: rookie out there when you open with the Saints, then

670
00:30:55,348 --> 00:30:57,588
Speaker 1: go to the Rams, stay on the West Coast against

671
00:30:57,588 --> 00:31:00,628
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. So you know, if Mariota keeps progressing and

672
00:31:00,748 --> 00:31:03,228
Speaker 1: stays healthy, looks like he'll be the one to open

673
00:31:03,268 --> 00:31:06,028
Speaker 1: the season against those tough matchups. Man, I love to

674
00:31:06,108 --> 00:31:09,068
Speaker 1: hear my guy, Marcus Mariota is doing a great job

675
00:31:09,108 --> 00:31:11,508
Speaker 1: out there. Steve is great to see you since la.

676
00:31:11,948 --> 00:31:15,068
Speaker 1: But hey, those Falcon playmakers out there, the Kyle Pitts,

677
00:31:15,308 --> 00:31:18,188
Speaker 1: the drink London's what are you saying from those guys

678
00:31:18,188 --> 00:31:20,748
Speaker 1: and the rest of the offensive weapons for them? Well, look,

679
00:31:20,788 --> 00:31:23,188
Speaker 1: those are the two big targets, right the two first

680
00:31:23,268 --> 00:31:25,588
Speaker 1: round picks over the past two years. And we know

681
00:31:25,668 --> 00:31:28,308
Speaker 1: pitches the tight end. He's an inline flex tight end

682
00:31:28,308 --> 00:31:32,108
Speaker 1: and London is gonna play inside and outside. From someone

683
00:31:32,188 --> 00:31:34,508
Speaker 1: that I spoke with, the big thing for both of

684
00:31:34,508 --> 00:31:37,548
Speaker 1: those big targets isn't so much the catch radius. We

685
00:31:37,588 --> 00:31:40,748
Speaker 1: know they can make the tough catches in coverage. It's

686
00:31:40,788 --> 00:31:43,428
Speaker 1: the fact that both of them are catch and run guys.

687
00:31:43,748 --> 00:31:46,228
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a quick hitting passing game where

688
00:31:46,228 --> 00:31:47,988
Speaker 1: it could be a short you know, a short pass

689
00:31:48,388 --> 00:31:51,108
Speaker 1: to London, but he can break tackles and run. That's

690
00:31:51,108 --> 00:31:53,588
Speaker 1: what they want. But guys, you also know that this

691
00:31:53,668 --> 00:31:56,428
Speaker 1: offense doesn't work unless the running game works, and that's

692
00:31:56,468 --> 00:31:59,668
Speaker 1: where the real competition begins. Number last year, Cordarrell Patterson,

693
00:31:59,788 --> 00:32:02,388
Speaker 1: kind of a slash player, was their leading rusher. They

694
00:32:02,428 --> 00:32:04,108
Speaker 1: don't want to have that load on him this year,

695
00:32:04,108 --> 00:32:06,748
Speaker 1: so they drafted Tyler Algier out of Brigham Young in

696
00:32:06,788 --> 00:32:09,308
Speaker 1: the fifth round. They also have Damian Williams, remember him

697
00:32:09,428 --> 00:32:11,748
Speaker 1: from the Super Bowl in Kansas City. So those guys

698
00:32:11,748 --> 00:32:14,788
Speaker 1: will be competing for rotational spots because they've got to

699
00:32:14,788 --> 00:32:17,268
Speaker 1: get the run game going and to make the offensive

700
00:32:17,548 --> 00:32:20,468
Speaker 1: passing game work. The offensive line is the biggest question.

701
00:32:20,628 --> 00:32:22,988
Speaker 1: That's why everything's going to be so quick and what

702
00:32:23,028 --> 00:32:24,788
Speaker 1: they try to do so they don't put too much

703
00:32:24,788 --> 00:32:27,428
Speaker 1: pressure on the offensive line to hold up. I love

704
00:32:27,468 --> 00:32:29,828
Speaker 1: when an offseason edition pops up and you hear someone go,

705
00:32:30,148 --> 00:32:32,348
Speaker 1: m like Jason, just like Damian Williams. I like it

706
00:32:32,468 --> 00:32:35,148
Speaker 1: with the Falcons. Steve Whitch, we like you with the Falcons.

707
00:32:35,148 --> 00:32:37,188
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for all that information. All right,

708
00:32:37,308 --> 00:32:40,348
Speaker 1: let's head up to East Coast from Flowery Branch, Georgia

709
00:32:40,388 --> 00:32:42,308
Speaker 1: to down the road from US at Floren Park, where

710
00:32:42,308 --> 00:32:45,588
Speaker 1: our own Judy Battisa is at Jets training camp. Judy,

711
00:32:45,668 --> 00:32:48,468
Speaker 1: we saw cj Uzama wearing that Zach Wilson Person of

712
00:32:48,508 --> 00:32:50,668
Speaker 1: the Year t shirt I'm getting my Judy Battista one

713
00:32:50,668 --> 00:32:53,588
Speaker 1: made earlier this week. But what did he say about

714
00:32:53,628 --> 00:32:56,148
Speaker 1: what he expects to see on the field from his

715
00:32:56,228 --> 00:32:58,548
Speaker 1: new buddy Zach in year two. This is what cj

716
00:32:58,708 --> 00:33:01,788
Speaker 1: Uzama said. He was asked about what might the Jets

717
00:33:01,788 --> 00:33:04,188
Speaker 1: look like if Zach Wilson can make a year to

718
00:33:04,668 --> 00:33:07,748
Speaker 1: leap the way Joe Burrow did in Cincinnati. Of course,

719
00:33:07,828 --> 00:33:10,628
Speaker 1: Juzama was signed as a free agent from the Cincinnati Bengals,

720
00:33:10,828 --> 00:33:14,948
Speaker 1: and he said not if he will, meaning he expects

721
00:33:14,988 --> 00:33:17,548
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson to make a year to leap the way

722
00:33:17,668 --> 00:33:21,588
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow did. Frankly, that maybe asking for an awful lot.

723
00:33:21,628 --> 00:33:24,108
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow had a much larger body of work coming

724
00:33:24,108 --> 00:33:26,948
Speaker 1: out of college than Zach Wilson did. But certainly there

725
00:33:27,028 --> 00:33:29,308
Speaker 1: is a level of optimism here at the New York

726
00:33:29,388 --> 00:33:31,788
Speaker 1: Jets that quite frankly, I've been around the Jets for

727
00:33:31,828 --> 00:33:34,948
Speaker 1: twenty something years, the level of Optimism around the team

728
00:33:35,028 --> 00:33:36,988
Speaker 1: right now is at a level where it really hasn't

729
00:33:37,028 --> 00:33:39,308
Speaker 1: been in a long time, and that's because they have

730
00:33:39,388 --> 00:33:42,548
Speaker 1: done a lot of work to put pieces around Zach Wilson.

731
00:33:42,628 --> 00:33:45,308
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson came in this week and said he feels

732
00:33:45,308 --> 00:33:47,668
Speaker 1: more confident, he feels more settled, he feels he knows

733
00:33:47,708 --> 00:33:50,908
Speaker 1: what his job is better and coaches we know love

734
00:33:50,948 --> 00:33:52,868
Speaker 1: to hear players say this. He feels like he can

735
00:33:52,908 --> 00:33:57,108
Speaker 1: correct his own mistakes. Lots of pieces around him. Garrett Wilson,

736
00:33:57,148 --> 00:33:59,388
Speaker 1: the first round draft pick, the wide receiver, Breeze Halt,

737
00:33:59,388 --> 00:34:02,028
Speaker 1: the second round draft pick, the running back. They also

738
00:34:02,148 --> 00:34:05,268
Speaker 1: did some work on the offensive line, and that's really important.

739
00:34:05,388 --> 00:34:08,628
Speaker 1: This offense struggled last year in part because Zach Wilson

740
00:34:08,708 --> 00:34:11,868
Speaker 1: was sacked forty four times. But and this is important

741
00:34:11,868 --> 00:34:13,468
Speaker 1: to note, and it's part of the reason why they

742
00:34:13,508 --> 00:34:16,428
Speaker 1: feel so good starting this season. When Zach Wilson came

743
00:34:16,468 --> 00:34:18,908
Speaker 1: back after he missed four games with an injury, he

744
00:34:19,068 --> 00:34:21,588
Speaker 1: looked like a different quarterback. Maybe the time on the

745
00:34:21,588 --> 00:34:25,108
Speaker 1: bench watching the offense settled him, maybe it gave him

746
00:34:25,188 --> 00:34:27,748
Speaker 1: time to study more, but he looked much better. Let

747
00:34:27,748 --> 00:34:29,948
Speaker 1: me give you some stats. He had five touchdown throws,

748
00:34:30,108 --> 00:34:32,548
Speaker 1: he ran for three touchdowns and they only had one

749
00:34:32,668 --> 00:34:35,588
Speaker 1: interception in the games after that injury, So that was

750
00:34:35,588 --> 00:34:38,188
Speaker 1: an improved player and they feel like he has all

751
00:34:38,228 --> 00:34:40,268
Speaker 1: the potential in the world to make a big leap.

752
00:34:40,348 --> 00:34:42,268
Speaker 1: CJ said, he's got a hell of an arm. They're

753
00:34:42,268 --> 00:34:45,028
Speaker 1: hoping that he can unleash it to this year. I

754
00:34:45,068 --> 00:34:46,908
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, Judy, after the last couple of months,

755
00:34:46,908 --> 00:34:49,108
Speaker 1: it's refreshing to just hear some stories about Zach Wilson

756
00:34:49,148 --> 00:34:51,108
Speaker 1: that are purely on the football field. And I like,

757
00:34:51,268 --> 00:34:53,348
Speaker 1: Karen from you that you pick up a vibe there

758
00:34:53,348 --> 00:34:54,708
Speaker 1: that you have not felt in a long time. That

759
00:34:54,748 --> 00:34:56,588
Speaker 1: means a lot coming from you. They added to it

760
00:34:56,668 --> 00:34:59,948
Speaker 1: yesterday too, because they added a Pro Bowl linebacker, Robert Salle.

761
00:34:59,988 --> 00:35:02,148
Speaker 1: Getting the band back together kind of, Kwan Alexander is

762
00:35:02,148 --> 00:35:03,828
Speaker 1: going to make a big impact on that defense that

763
00:35:03,908 --> 00:35:05,868
Speaker 1: really needs to make strides this season. How's it going

764
00:35:05,908 --> 00:35:08,228
Speaker 1: to happen? Tell us about it? Well, this actually fills

765
00:35:08,468 --> 00:35:10,948
Speaker 1: a roster hole that was remaining for the Jets. They

766
00:35:10,988 --> 00:35:14,028
Speaker 1: were looking for a veteran linebacker type. They've got CJ.

767
00:35:14,188 --> 00:35:17,348
Speaker 1: Moseley penciled in as a starter in Quincy Williams pencils

768
00:35:17,348 --> 00:35:20,068
Speaker 1: in as a starter, but that other linebacker spot was

769
00:35:20,188 --> 00:35:23,748
Speaker 1: up for grabs enter Kwan Alexander. As you mentioned, Robert

770
00:35:23,748 --> 00:35:26,548
Speaker 1: Sala had him in San Francisco, so familiarity with the

771
00:35:26,588 --> 00:35:30,068
Speaker 1: defense is a big key. He's had some injury issues

772
00:35:30,108 --> 00:35:32,228
Speaker 1: in his career, but when he is on the field,

773
00:35:32,268 --> 00:35:35,588
Speaker 1: he is still very productive. He played twelve games for

774
00:35:35,628 --> 00:35:38,388
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints last year. He had fifty tackles

775
00:35:38,388 --> 00:35:40,548
Speaker 1: and three and a half sacks in only twelve games.

776
00:35:40,908 --> 00:35:43,948
Speaker 1: The Jets defense could certainly take that this was the

777
00:35:44,108 --> 00:35:46,548
Speaker 1: worst defense in the league last year. That is certainly

778
00:35:46,588 --> 00:35:49,188
Speaker 1: not how Robert Salo wants to play. He actually made

779
00:35:49,188 --> 00:35:51,228
Speaker 1: the point back at the Combine that one way you

780
00:35:51,268 --> 00:35:53,868
Speaker 1: can help a young quarterback is to play better defense

781
00:35:53,868 --> 00:35:56,228
Speaker 1: so that that young quarterback does not wake up every

782
00:35:56,228 --> 00:35:58,748
Speaker 1: Sunday knowing he's going to have to dig himself out

783
00:35:58,788 --> 00:36:01,468
Speaker 1: of a hole. This defense needs to play much better.

784
00:36:01,508 --> 00:36:03,908
Speaker 1: Of course, they use that third first round draft pick

785
00:36:03,948 --> 00:36:06,988
Speaker 1: under Johnson, paired with Carl Lawson, who's coming off an

786
00:36:06,988 --> 00:36:10,068
Speaker 1: injury he suffered last season. They hope they finally have

787
00:36:10,428 --> 00:36:13,428
Speaker 1: bookend pass rushers that they haven't had here in years.

788
00:36:13,468 --> 00:36:16,948
Speaker 1: It's been seven seasons since they even had forty sacks.

789
00:36:17,108 --> 00:36:20,068
Speaker 1: The Jets are looking for big improvement on the defense too,

790
00:36:20,388 --> 00:36:23,228
Speaker 1: huge improvements all across the board for the New York Jets,

791
00:36:23,228 --> 00:36:26,228
Speaker 1: and let's hope it creates some kind of production and

792
00:36:26,308 --> 00:36:28,548
Speaker 1: success for them. Judy Batista, a big deal if you're there,

793
00:36:28,588 --> 00:36:30,548
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. All Right. You heard Judy talk

794
00:36:30,588 --> 00:36:34,028
Speaker 1: about that Joe Burrow like leap that cj Uzama expects

795
00:36:34,068 --> 00:36:36,708
Speaker 1: from Zach Wilson, and he watched it happen firsthand. So

796
00:36:36,988 --> 00:36:39,028
Speaker 1: whether it is a player or even a coach, you guys,

797
00:36:39,148 --> 00:36:42,028
Speaker 1: who do you expect to make a massive leap so

798
00:36:42,028 --> 00:36:44,428
Speaker 1: far this season? I'm excited to hear you. Let me

799
00:36:44,508 --> 00:36:47,868
Speaker 1: keep it into Jay's Jason to Jamie to Judy. I'm

800
00:36:47,948 --> 00:36:52,188
Speaker 1: going with Jerry, Judy going to make a massive leap.

801
00:36:52,468 --> 00:36:56,868
Speaker 1: Has some injuries quarterback play, but this guy's route running

802
00:36:56,948 --> 00:37:01,548
Speaker 1: ability is impressive, the amount of separation that he is

803
00:37:01,628 --> 00:37:04,028
Speaker 1: able to create. How to play against this guy? And

804
00:37:04,108 --> 00:37:06,788
Speaker 1: twenties spun me around a little bit with a whole

805
00:37:06,868 --> 00:37:09,988
Speaker 1: three sixty and I think right now he's primed to

806
00:37:10,028 --> 00:37:12,948
Speaker 1: take off early on. And training camp, they're saying down there.

807
00:37:12,948 --> 00:37:15,548
Speaker 1: He's making big plays within the first two days. They

808
00:37:15,548 --> 00:37:18,468
Speaker 1: even said he took time to walk into the QB

809
00:37:18,708 --> 00:37:21,508
Speaker 1: room and sit down and just listen to what the

810
00:37:21,588 --> 00:37:24,628
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are going over to make him a better player.

811
00:37:24,868 --> 00:37:27,228
Speaker 1: This was the same guy drafted in the same draft

812
00:37:27,348 --> 00:37:30,348
Speaker 1: ahead of Cede Lamb and Justin Jefferson, and I think

813
00:37:30,348 --> 00:37:33,028
Speaker 1: he has the ability and the talent to have some

814
00:37:33,108 --> 00:37:35,948
Speaker 1: of the success that a Justin Jefferson has had early

815
00:37:35,988 --> 00:37:38,028
Speaker 1: on in his career. And I think this is going

816
00:37:38,108 --> 00:37:40,468
Speaker 1: to be a huge year from him. Getting a guy

817
00:37:40,548 --> 00:37:44,428
Speaker 1: like Russell Wilson. We saw with DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett,

818
00:37:44,628 --> 00:37:46,868
Speaker 1: even a guy that he reminds me of a Doug

819
00:37:47,028 --> 00:37:49,628
Speaker 1: Baldwin who was in and out of his brakes hard

820
00:37:49,668 --> 00:37:52,548
Speaker 1: off the line of scrimmage. With a quarterback like Russ

821
00:37:52,548 --> 00:37:55,308
Speaker 1: I think Jerry Judy can take off the subscribe to that. Yeah,

822
00:37:55,388 --> 00:37:57,308
Speaker 1: guys are gonna make a leap. The guys you hope do,

823
00:37:57,548 --> 00:37:59,948
Speaker 1: the guys you expect to. My guy just better make

824
00:37:59,948 --> 00:38:02,348
Speaker 1: a leap. I'm gonna just go. Trey Lance did better work.

825
00:38:02,828 --> 00:38:05,028
Speaker 1: I think it's fascinating that Kyle Sham had just said

826
00:38:05,348 --> 00:38:08,028
Speaker 1: this is Trey's team and even following the story for

827
00:38:08,028 --> 00:38:10,188
Speaker 1: a year like we all have. Kyle Shannon's been the

828
00:38:10,268 --> 00:38:13,268
Speaker 1: master of avoiding the question, master of dodging the take,

829
00:38:13,348 --> 00:38:15,428
Speaker 1: even saying so far as well, well who's starting tomorrow.

830
00:38:15,468 --> 00:38:17,148
Speaker 1: We don't gonna be alive tomorrow. Then he just comes

831
00:38:17,148 --> 00:38:19,308
Speaker 1: down and says, this is Trey's team. That tells me

832
00:38:19,388 --> 00:38:21,988
Speaker 1: that something he saw in the offseason. With all his

833
00:38:22,028 --> 00:38:25,268
Speaker 1: acumen and all his experience, Kyle Shanahan said, yes, we

834
00:38:25,388 --> 00:38:27,748
Speaker 1: got it. We can go to battle with this guy. Jimmy,

835
00:38:27,788 --> 00:38:30,468
Speaker 1: we love you. You're gone. This young kid is going

836
00:38:30,508 --> 00:38:32,668
Speaker 1: to go up against Aaron Donald et al. And we

837
00:38:32,788 --> 00:38:35,468
Speaker 1: feel good about this. I don't feel good about it

838
00:38:35,548 --> 00:38:37,788
Speaker 1: yet because we haven't seen it, but Kyle's been there

839
00:38:37,868 --> 00:38:40,708
Speaker 1: the other Kyle sitting there watching it and being like, yes, Trey,

840
00:38:40,788 --> 00:38:43,788
Speaker 1: we're ready. It's his team. I hope he's right. Here's

841
00:38:43,788 --> 00:38:46,388
Speaker 1: Trivia pushing who was the running back. Who's running back

842
00:38:46,468 --> 00:38:49,028
Speaker 1: last year entering week twelve, which is late in the season,

843
00:38:49,228 --> 00:38:52,508
Speaker 1: who's running back that was leading the league in receptions

844
00:38:52,828 --> 00:38:55,228
Speaker 1: and receiving yards. Because this guy is going to make

845
00:38:55,228 --> 00:38:58,268
Speaker 1: a hugely for me this season. One DeAndre Swift got

846
00:38:58,308 --> 00:39:01,468
Speaker 1: out of the back Detroit Lions pre injury. I know,

847
00:39:01,788 --> 00:39:04,988
Speaker 1: big time jump for this young man, thirty fifth pick overall.

848
00:39:05,028 --> 00:39:07,108
Speaker 1: He missed seven games though in his first two seasons

849
00:39:07,108 --> 00:39:10,108
Speaker 1: with the Lions due to injury. So the consistency in

850
00:39:10,108 --> 00:39:12,388
Speaker 1: his play just hasn't been there just yet. But I

851
00:39:12,428 --> 00:39:15,588
Speaker 1: think he's there, he's ready. There have been improved. There's healthier,

852
00:39:15,908 --> 00:39:18,428
Speaker 1: healthier offensive lineman with the Detroit Lions this year, which

853
00:39:18,428 --> 00:39:21,068
Speaker 1: will help him immenttally. But he is a talented pass

854
00:39:21,148 --> 00:39:23,668
Speaker 1: catcher coming out of the backfield, and his numbers were there.

855
00:39:23,788 --> 00:39:25,748
Speaker 1: I'm not talking leading the league in week four like

856
00:39:25,788 --> 00:39:28,948
Speaker 1: week twelve is a long time to go to still

857
00:39:29,028 --> 00:39:32,348
Speaker 1: be the league leader. And he's healthy, the offensive line

858
00:39:32,388 --> 00:39:36,028
Speaker 1: is healthy. Big leap for DeAndre Swift in twenty twenty two.

859
00:39:36,188 --> 00:39:39,628
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll do a lambow leap. Remember writing your face
