1 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: All right, pencils down, heads up, Steve, It's time for 2 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: the NFL Report. 3 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 2: Steve White, James Palmer with you, and we have the 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 2: man Steve who. 5 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: Was spending every waking hour with the number one overall pick, 6 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: Bryce Young. That's Panthers offensive coordinator Thomas Brown gonna join 7 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: the show for an exclusive interview. Just wait, do you 8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: hear what he asked to say about about the number 9 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: one pick? 10 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 3: I get? 11 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 2: Just wait until you have. 12 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 4: I can't wait for it because I used to cover 13 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 4: Thomas and college when he was a running back at Georgia. 14 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,599 Speaker 4: So I'm really excited about this. But Jay PMLO down 15 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 4: the dumps. You know, two days ago a water main breaks, 16 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 4: a waterminon breaks in the house, so I got a 17 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 4: whole room flooded. My wife's got her family up, My 18 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 4: wife D's got her family up from Jamaica, so we 19 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 4: got this whole room now that's flooded, waters everywhere. But 20 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 4: that's not why I'm really down on the dumps JP. 21 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 3: It was the plumbing. 22 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:55,279 Speaker 5: Duw. 23 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, they're like it's gonna cost you this much. 24 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 4: I felt like Vonte is perfect. When I got fined 25 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 4: by the NFL from my fifteenth hit for unnecessary roughness 26 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 4: and do you know how big that fine those fines are. 27 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's from Owen lawns around the neighborhood. 28 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 3: That's where I'm right now. 29 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 4: But look, we're also gonna have Brian Baldinger, and we 30 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 4: are gonna have all kinds of different angles on this 31 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers subject, from how you know Aaron Rodgers history 32 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 4: to how it affects not only the Jets moving forward, 33 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 4: but at least one of their opponents. 34 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 3: You're not gonna want to miss that. We've got Stacey. 35 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 4: DL's, Brian Baldinger, Mike Grefolo, Judy Batista joining us JP 36 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 4: and first up, this is a game I don't think 37 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 4: either one of us can wait to see. Coming up, 38 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 4: we've got the Kansas City Chiefs coming off the l 39 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 4: to the Detroit Lions playing the Jacksonville Jaguars who win 40 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 4: the opener and James. This doesn't say anything about the Chiefs, 41 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 4: but the fact that we're talking about how they could 42 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 4: open the season with back to back losses against the 43 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 4: Lions and Jags tells you the state of those teams 44 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 4: right now. 45 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: Steve, you've been down to the dumps too much, so 46 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go negative. I'm gonna swing it over 47 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: to Jacksonville and go positive for us here. Imagine what 48 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 1: this benchmark game could be for the Jacksonville Jaguars organization. 49 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: If they take down the defending Super Bowl champs in 50 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: Week two and this might happen. I think, Steve, because 51 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: of when this game is happening, it's early in the season. 52 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: We know Chris Jones is back, we know he's been 53 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: doing two a days down. 54 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: In Miami, but he's not Nick Bosa. 55 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: I'm curious how many snaps he can go and how 56 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: that affects them getting after Trevor Lawrence because there's some 57 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: issues injuries wise up front on that offensive line. Can 58 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: they still be explosive and they can put some points 59 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: on the board. And then on the other side, we 60 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: know Travis Kelce probably coming back for this game. I 61 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: was told when an injury happened, a one to two 62 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: week injury. Is he one hundred percent? This could be 63 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: shaking up for a really good spot in the season 64 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 1: for Jacksonville to come away with a win. The closing 65 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: part of this, Steve, is closing out games. That's something 66 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: that the Jaguars know that the Chiefs are very good 67 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: at We know that Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid are 68 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 1: great in the fourth quarter. 69 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: They get better as the game goes on. 70 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: But talking to people in Jacksonville, they believe that's a 71 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: trait that they're developing as well. And if they're able 72 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: to compete in the fourth quarter and win a tight 73 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: game over the defending Super Bowl champs, a game that 74 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: they believe they should have won in the postseason, right 75 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: talk to Doug Peters in this offseason. He truly believes 76 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 1: they should have won that game in Arrowhead. This could 77 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: be a massive game for the organization, for the Jacksonville Jaguars, 78 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 1: and they're treating it as such. It's a playoff atmosphere, 79 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: I'm told down there in. 80 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 3: Jacksonville, well as it should be. 81 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 4: Look Kevin Calvin Ridley and the way he performed in 82 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 4: his debut last week is great reason for that optimism. 83 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 3: And the fact that he talked about that the. 84 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 4: Jags actually had the Chiefs on the ropes to some 85 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 4: degree in that playoff game last season, I mean that 86 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 4: says a lot about where they are. And I remember 87 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 4: this was the game when Patrick Mahomes first had that 88 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,119 Speaker 4: got that high ankle. Spraint lingered all the way through 89 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 4: the Super Bowl, so that was part of it. 90 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 3: But you brought up Travis Kelcey. 91 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 4: He had fourteen catches and two touchdowns in that game. 92 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 4: He is that much of a difference make. But we'll 93 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 4: make a difference with this receiving corps that did not 94 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 4: play well without him in Week one? Or will arrest 95 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 4: of the guy step up to help booie Travis Kelsey, 96 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 4: Because all of a sudden, if Kelsey's not one hundred percent, 97 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 4: those guys aren't showing up that and we have to 98 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 4: start to wonder if the Kansas City Chiefs have I 99 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,679 Speaker 4: have some greater underlying issues. 100 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: All Right, I'm really curious where Joan Taylor is going 101 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: to line up, Steve. I'm really I'm really curious how 102 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: far back he's. 103 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 4: Gonna going to left tackle. You were talking about depth 104 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 4: from the line of scrimmage. 105 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: And guess what, I think Doug Peterson knows a thing 106 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: or two about about his former tackle. 107 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 2: Let's move to the game that I'm going to be Yeah, 108 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 2: and I think this is a great game. This is 109 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 2: Ravens at Bengals. 110 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: And I had a chance to talk to a couple 111 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: players on the phone this week, had a chance to 112 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: talk to Tyler Boyd, who told me that, yes, that 113 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: is the worst he has ever seen Joe Burrow play. 114 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: But the interesting part Steven in our conversation is he said, 115 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: you know why he's so even keel all the time, 116 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: because he said, this week, nothing has faced him. He's 117 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: been the same guy each and every day. Bothered him 118 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: that he went out and threw for eighty two yards. Yes, 119 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: he did to get a haircut. He said that was 120 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: partially because of the way he played, not entirely, but 121 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: he said, this is why he's wired this way. He 122 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: goes to Ohio State, my university, makes a terrible decision 123 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: and moves on from him. 124 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,799 Speaker 2: He transfers to LSU. 125 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: And his point with this is he has had to 126 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: grind each in every spot he's been. Nothing's been handed 127 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: to him in any of the spots he's been, which 128 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: is an interesting thing to say for a former. 129 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 2: Number one overall pick. 130 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: But he said that's why he has this mentality that 131 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: he can go out and bounce back from things because 132 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: of what's happened to him in his path getting to 133 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: the NFL and being the highest paid player in the 134 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: history of the league right now. 135 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 4: JP, if we think he is not going to bounce back, 136 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 4: that we need to go get drug tested or something. 137 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 4: You know, I need to go have more pipes in 138 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 4: my house burst or something. 139 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 3: Because he's going to bounce back. He's gonna bounce back. 140 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 4: The issue of this game is not going to be 141 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow against This Ravens defense is down some dbs 142 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 4: right They've already had some injuries on their defense. The 143 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 4: issue is going to be Cincinnati's defense because no matter 144 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 4: what we want to say about this expanded Ravens offense, 145 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 4: they're still going to try. 146 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 3: To run the ball. And Baltimore's offense. 147 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 4: Was not great in their opener against Houston. They barely 148 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 4: surpassed one hundred yards on the ground. Lamar Jackson was 149 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 4: a little bit here and there when it came to 150 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 4: the pass game. 151 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 3: They've got some things to work out. 152 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 4: But after seeing the Bengals surrender more than two hundred 153 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 4: rushing guards against the Browns and they really didn't adjust 154 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 4: to fix it. 155 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 3: Now, the Ravens they don't have JK. 156 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 4: Dobbins, you know, they don't have Nick Chubb that Cleveland did, 157 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 4: But that defense has got to button it up or else, 158 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 4: John Harbaugh, Todd Munket, and that that run offense is 159 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 4: going to continue to trying to pound the rock. 160 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 5: Steve. 161 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: I look at one word that sums up I think 162 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: this entire game, and that is communication, and that involves 163 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: the Ravens. What are the two position groups that need 164 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: the really the best amount of continuity communication within a game. 165 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: It's offensive line and it's the second death second right, 166 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: those are the two spots that need to continue to 167 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: talk to each other throughout a game. 168 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: You mentioned it. 169 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: Marcus Williams, the leader of that secondary, most likely not 170 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: playing in this game, hasn't practiced all week with the 171 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: peck injury. Marlon Humphrey not back yet from the foot injury. 172 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: Down both those guys. Kyle Hamilton talked about it at 173 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: length this week about how communication is an issue back there. Yes, 174 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: they all play call of duty with one another. That 175 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: does happen in the secondary when they're having their downtime, 176 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: but on the field, having the proper amount of communication 177 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: against these three dynamic wide receivers is important. And then 178 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: Ronnie Staley and Tyler Linderbaum, their center and their left 179 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: table have not practiced all week. 180 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 2: The game on Sunday. 181 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: That's difficult upfront, when you're working in a new system 182 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: and just your second game with it. You want to 183 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: run the football, and we know DJ Reader and company 184 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: up front with Luena Romo can make some damage. Those 185 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: are the two spots I'm really keeping an eye on 186 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: in this game when I'm going to be there on Sunday. 187 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean talking about interesting defenses. 188 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 4: We saw the Dallas Cowboys put a forty long dunk 189 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 4: on the Giants in the open of Micah Parsons. 190 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 3: At every level they dominated. 191 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 4: Well, guess what they've got Zach Wilson and the one 192 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 4: to o Jets this week. But on paper, it looks 193 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 4: like an absolute domination for this Cowboys, going up against 194 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 4: a quarterback who has still not found himself. 195 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 3: He was Aaron Rodgers backup. 196 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 4: But this is what we're gonna do because we're gonna 197 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 4: talk about Aaron Rodgers exclusively. 198 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 3: But I'm gonna tell you how Aaron Rodgers injury affects 199 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,239 Speaker 3: more than just the Jets. 200 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 4: Within minutes of him going down Monday night, you better 201 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 4: believe all the Cowboys coaches, analytics people, scouts, everybody had 202 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 4: to scrap their game plan for their defensive install against 203 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers. Remember there are coaches on the Cowboy staff 204 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 4: who were with Mike McCarthy and the Packers that you 205 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 4: know how Aaron Rodgers operates, scrap. 206 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 3: That get ready for Zach Wilson. 207 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 4: So what do they have with Zach Wilson preseason tape 208 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 4: with him in the Daniel Hackett system. So they had 209 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 4: to go scour that and we know in the preseason 210 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 4: they don't do too much. They had to watch this 211 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 4: game again to see what worked for the Jets, and 212 00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 4: then they had to also go back and maybe look 213 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 4: at some of Jack Wilson stuff that he did the 214 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 4: last couple of seasons when he didn't play well. You 215 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 4: have your scouts going back look at their their reviews 216 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 4: out of him. But he was coming out of BYU. 217 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 4: So there's a lot of detail for the opponent this week, 218 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 4: the Dallas Cowboys that. 219 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 3: They had to go to that they were not expecting 220 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 3: to go to. That's just another. 221 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 4: Trickle down aspect of Aaron Rodgers' injury JP. 222 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 1: And you have to think it's week two, right, So 223 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: some of this work is done by some people in 224 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: that building during the end of preseason. 225 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 2: I mean they were probably a weighs. 226 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: Down in terms of their preparation about where they were 227 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: with this and because of their understanding of Nathaniel Hackett 228 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: and the thunderstanding specifically of Aaron Rodgers, and I'd like 229 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: to talk about Rogers moving forward, and we're going to 230 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: talk back up quarterbacks and their importance with Damas Brown 231 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: coming up in his interview, because I think they have 232 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: an experience, very good one there in Carolina. 233 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 3: And so. 234 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 2: There were questions Steve, going, all right, where do the 235 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 2: Jets go? Who should they bring in? 236 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,719 Speaker 1: The best quarterback if you ask around the league for 237 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: the Jets right now, is Zach Wilson because he has 238 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: an understanding of the system, and anybody you bring in 239 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: that has to learn that system and play x mentally 240 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: better than him probably doesn't really exist for your liking 241 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: or your ability to go and get that quarterback. What 242 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: I'm curious about is because these two have sparked up 243 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: a very good friendship throughout this training camp, and that's 244 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and Zack Wilson. Is Rogers going to stick 245 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: around and work in the room with Zach Wilson and 246 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett and company and making sure this young quarterback 247 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: is set up to succeed the best he can. Now, again, 248 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: I should put this clearly, that is not Aaron Rodgers' 249 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: job right now. His job is to get healthy, and 250 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: his job is to rehab and go through all this. 251 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 1: But he has talked about how rejuvenated he has Ben 252 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: Steve coming and wing with these guys, throwing with everybody 253 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: in the offseason and being around this young group. He 254 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: could do wonders for helping out Zach Wilson because he 255 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: knows this better than anybody else. 256 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 2: I'm curious to see what role he plays moving forwards. 257 00:10:58,880 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 3: And this is why I'm so glad. 258 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 4: I asked scy Dale's on Rye Stacia, world class athlete and 259 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 4: Olympic basketball player. It seems like it's a fairly simple 260 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 4: ask of Aaron Rodgers. Hey, once you've had your surgery, 261 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 4: come back and help. But we don't know what Aaron 262 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 4: Rodgers is going to be going through. We don't know 263 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 4: what he could be dealing with. We've heard so many 264 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 4: athletes talk about maybe going into dark pockets during rehab. 265 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 3: And things like that. 266 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 4: So to say Aaron, you need to be there for him, 267 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 4: that's not necessarily as simplistic of an ask as it 268 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 4: could be. 269 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 3: But I think your point of the fact that just 270 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 3: a few. 271 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 4: Months that he's had together with Zach Wilson, the relationship 272 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 4: that they've had, he might be able to have sprinkled 273 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 4: some of that magic faery dust on him that it 274 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 4: looks like he sprinkled for three seasons on Jordan Love 275 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 4: based on how Jordan Love came out of the gate 276 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 4: last week. 277 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: Man, I was talking to Tracy Wilson in Foxborough last Sunday. 278 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 2: She goes, we have the Jets Cowboys. Can you believe it? 279 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: I can't remember last time we did a Jets game 280 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: for our big broadcast on CBS. Well and Zach Wilson 281 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. 282 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 3: Well, coming up, we. 283 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: Have the number one overall pick, Bryce Young's mentors sidekick, 284 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: the guy who was molding him, Thomas Brown, the offensive 285 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: coordinator for the Carolina Panthers. 286 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 2: This is going to be ridiculous.

I realized there was 327 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 6: no ball there, so I tried to go take a 328 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 6: step and I just helped. 329 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 5: My whole kind of ankle and foot drop. 330 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 6: So I turned to Reggie Scott and Sam McVay was 331 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 6: kind of standing by each other, and said, I think 332 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 6: I just told my achilles, and so they thought I 333 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 6: was joking, but I was. I was very serious about 334 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 6: tarring the achilles, and so Reggie asked me, are you sure, 335 00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 6: And I said, Reggie, I'm not a doctor, but I'm 336 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 6: pretty try. I know what happens, will goes in between 337 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 6: the same little spot, and it's missing right now. 338 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 5: And so my first thought was. 339 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 6: You know, can I get off the field and I 340 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 6: walk off the field, So I tried to. I did 341 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 6: walk myself to the training room, and so a number 342 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 6: of motions are going through. 343 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 5: My brain, you know. 344 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 6: Luckily, for me in that position, I'm no longer playing, 345 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 6: so it won't affect that aspect of it. I can 346 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 6: imagine from a players standpoint, right how devastate it is 347 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 6: going to be when it comes to the initial injury 348 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 6: being out for the entire year, but thinking about just 349 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 6: the rehab process going back and kind of recovering from 350 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 6: the injury. And for myself, I mean, I'm a fairly 351 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 6: older dude now, I try to still be somewhat relatively young, 352 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 6: but it took me a good, you know, eight to 353 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 6: nine months to get back to doing everything I want. 354 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: You're like thirty, you know, you're younger than Rogers, Yeah, 355 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: for sure. 356 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 6: So I mean I think being able to try to 357 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 6: build back and get back into one hundred percent shape 358 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 6: was was a tough challenge for me my life. But 359 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 6: it's different when it comes to being a washed up 360 00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 6: coach versus being a player. 361 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 5: And you're problem right now. 362 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: But I'm kind of curious in this so when this happens, 363 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: and not just what we saw Monday night with Aaron Rodgers, 364 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: but in any instance where you know your starter goes down, 365 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: what's the first conversation on the sideline that you have 366 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: as a play caller, as an offensive coordinator, as a 367 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: part of the offensive staff. With that backup quarterback that's 368 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: going in what initially happens on the sideline right away, Well. 369 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 5: The first thing for me is just trying. 370 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 6: So it makes me ease his mind when it comes 371 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 6: to the moment of having a to come in that 372 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 6: top opportunity. 373 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 5: I think every time you have a major injury on 374 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 5: the field, I think every player. 375 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 6: Kind of has that that thought in the back of 376 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 6: their mind about some significant injury happening. So my role 377 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 6: is going to be a tight hole. All those guys 378 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 6: done as much as possible. All those guys will play 379 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 6: with a quiet in mind and kind of get those 380 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 6: guys rolling. 381 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 5: I want to play starts. 382 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 4: So Thomas, with that situation, you know, so we know 383 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 4: the big deal with Aaron Rodgers going to the Jets 384 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 4: the quarterback, you guys have a very capable backup and 385 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 4: Andy Dalton. I mean, right as we're looking around the NFL, 386 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 4: not every team is as fortunate as you to have 387 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 4: somebody like that. What about you guys in Carolina having 388 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 4: someone like Andy Dalton who's there just in case of 389 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 4: a worst case scenario. 390 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 6: I mean, I think just from the standpoint of what 391 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 6: you mentioned Steve about being worst case scenario, but I 392 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 6: think more importantly the everyday process of him being a 393 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 6: poor into Bryce from his experience right his exposure for 394 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 6: being in this league for a very long time, how 395 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 6: open Andy is, how he communicates in the media room, 396 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 6: but also given Bryce kind of just subtle tips and 397 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 6: sails on the football field, that was what his overall 398 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 6: development is awesome for us. 399 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: So he's been through a lot of games, Andy Dalton, 400 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: and he's watched the film the next day with coaching 401 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: staffs a lot. Bryce did that for the very first 402 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: time after your game on Sunday. If you could take 403 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: us Thomas into that room and kind of what that 404 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: first film session was like after Bryce's first game, what. 405 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 2: Went down in there. 406 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 6: Well, first off, we're all very disappointing about the outcome 407 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 6: of the game. I think any time we lose a 408 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 6: football game, I've always been a very sole loser, my 409 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 6: mom reminds me from time to time, from the age 410 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 6: I was eight years old up until now. But I 411 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 6: think being able to build upon some of the positive 412 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 6: things we did offensively, but more particularly when it comes 413 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 6: to Bryce and his overall growth, and development. You look 414 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 6: at the tape and talk about the positive takeaways, you 415 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 6: look at how you operate the system from a huddle standpoint, 416 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 6: but also the saline communication I thought was really good, 417 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 6: especially for. 418 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 5: His first opportunity time being out. 419 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 6: But what an opportunity to learn like first week one 420 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 6: have adversity, and what I love about adversity is the 421 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 6: opportunity to be able to take on the challenge to 422 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 6: learn and grow from it. And Bryce is is as 423 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 6: good as as I've been around when it comes to 424 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 6: taking on those challenges. 425 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 4: So when you're when you're game planning, now now that 426 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 4: you've got a baseline right from the game against Atlanta, 427 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 4: now you go through the Saints on Monday night, I mean, 428 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 4: what is Bryce's approach? Because everything we saw in college 429 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 4: was Okay, let's go get it. 430 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 3: We know we did wrong, let's go get it. Kind 431 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 3: of tell us what it's been like. Work with him. 432 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 3: Going into week. 433 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 5: Two, I'm in the exact same way. I think. One 434 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 5: of the things I love about Bryce is his overall 435 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 5: approach back. 436 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 6: We were kind of going through the process of evaluating quarterbacks. 437 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 6: We're on a couple of planes start around the country 438 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 6: to interview quarterbacks, but also watch those guys throw in person. 439 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 6: And so I meet with all the quarterbacks and the 440 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 6: Maximus guys some similar questions, and one of the questions 441 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 6: I ask all the quarterbacks was just take me through. Okay, 442 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 6: the game is done it Saturday night. What's your weekly 443 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 6: process from the time of the game end to the 444 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 6: next game. And so most quarterbacks had probably I would 445 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 6: say ten to fifteen minute response. Right, So we're seventeen 446 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 6: minutes into the and to Bryce answering the question, and 447 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 6: we're still on Tuesday morning, So I think being it 448 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 6: when it comped this overall development, he has a great approach, 449 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 6: a great process towards understanding how to move on past 450 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 6: the game, learn from those mistakes, but also build upon 451 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 6: what he did well as well. 452 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: Also, well, Thomas, there was all of you guys on 453 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: that plane, on this offensive staff going around. So I 454 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: saw a bunch of you guys at Ohio State at CJ. 455 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: Shroud's pro day, and you guys were making the round. 456 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: With that said, all of these offensive minds you guys 457 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 1: have on this staff, how do you, I guess in 458 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: this process with a young quarterback, the number one overall 459 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: pick is talented as Bryce is kind of divvy up 460 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: who does what? How does it get split way? 461 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 2: Is there a meeting. 462 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: Before, like, do you guys devise who handles what? How 463 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: does it operate within the staff when you're trying to 464 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: mold him early on? 465 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't. 466 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 6: The great thing about our setup is that we have 467 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 6: a great operation when it comes to delegating roles and responsibilities. 468 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 5: I think sometimes when it comes to. 469 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 6: Having so much, you know, whether the mental capacity or 470 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 6: experience in one room, depending on who you had, it 471 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 6: can become an issue. We do a great job when 472 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 6: it comes to always checking your ego at the door. 473 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 6: We're all about trying to find ways to figure out 474 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 6: what is right versus who is right. So I think 475 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 6: the collaboration process we have has been amazing. 476 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 5: It's been awesome. I look forward to kind of building 477 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 5: that every day. 478 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 4: And Thomas you talk about, you know, the collaboration forging 479 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 4: a identity. Right, you're a former running back, you've coach run. 480 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 4: What about the run game and how important that is. 481 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 4: It's not only helping Bryce develop, but you guys establishing 482 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 4: what type of character you're going to be Offensively? 483 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, So I mean we break down offensive identity. So 484 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 6: we talked about this from day one we got back 485 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 6: here in April when our players came in. We broke 486 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 6: it down to kind of three different categories, all right. 487 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 6: Number one was being the physical at every position, and 488 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 6: so you mentioned a running game. Everything starts with that 489 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 6: approach for us. One of the biggest positive takeaway from 490 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 6: our game is that the really good job of being 491 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 6: aggressive attacking running back to the really good job when 492 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 6: it comes to running after running, make a contact after 493 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 6: the ball, kind of from a contact standpoint, fight infective 494 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 6: yards when it comes to the overall development of a 495 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 6: young quarterback, but also offensively in general, everything deals off 496 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 6: of that. You're talking about your play pass, your keepers, 497 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 6: your nakeds, and obviously drive back offense as well. 498 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: Tomas, does that playoff of what you? 499 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 5: I mean? 500 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 1: Obviously you look at what everybody else is doing, right, 501 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: and everybody kind of sees and steals from one another. 502 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: Is it looking at what is a trend in defensive 503 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: football in the NFL alters what you want to do 504 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: offensively or do you look more at at offensive football 505 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: around the NFL and then kind of build it off 506 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: that obvious it is off of your personnel but still, 507 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: what side of the ball do you look at more 508 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: to kind of build that identity what you said. 509 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 6: Last part, the most important thing is you kind of 510 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 6: already mentioned when it comes to understanding your personneling what 511 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 6: you guys do well offensively upfront, quarterback wise or skilled players. 512 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 6: But I mean to me, it's kind of a combination 513 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 6: of both. When you look at trends around the league 514 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 6: from an off of the standpoint defensively, you can get 515 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 6: certain ideas from there from the offensive perspective, but we 516 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 6: kind of hold true to our identity, our philosophy, trying 517 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 6: to build upon every single week, but also doing a 518 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 6: great job of self scout. So once we have a game, 519 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 6: obviously kind of correcting those corrections, but what do we 520 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 6: put on tape? What can we build off of that 521 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 6: kind of our opponents is watching to kind of, you know, 522 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 6: make it more difficult for those guys to defend us 523 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 6: moving forward. 524 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 4: And Thomas, we saw in preseason second half of games 525 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 4: you were calling the place. Frank Reicher said, at some point, 526 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 4: you guys are going to make the transition, whenever that 527 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 4: is this season, next season, whatever, You're gonna be. 528 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 3: The play caller. How do you guys work with that. 529 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 4: How has Frank work with you and when you coach 530 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,239 Speaker 4: under Sean McVeigh and maybe teaching you some of the 531 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 4: things and taking your input on some things you guys 532 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 4: can forge when that transition takes place. 533 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 6: Well, one, I've always been a sponge, so have an 534 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 6: opportunity to, like you mentioned before, being in the environment 535 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 6: with so many great minds around us, but the kind 536 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,479 Speaker 6: of one on one time with Frank every single day 537 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 6: we kind of put together that game plan and talk 538 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 6: about certain ideas. 539 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 5: Obviously winning on guy like coach call what as well, 540 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 5: who can kind of obviously. 541 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 6: Add advice from his vast experience from a behind the 542 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 6: scenes standpoint, But I think it's about the daily collaboration 543 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 6: and me understanding more about him and kind of vice 544 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 6: versa in combination, will putting out buzzing a pleasant in 545 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 6: the best spot to have success right we cand and 546 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 6: week out. 547 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 1: Tom, I'm fascinated by play callers. I love when guys 548 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 1: say there's so much in the zone. They're not even 549 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: looking at the sheet, right, They're just they're just calling it. 550 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: But everybody kind of has a different description of it. 551 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 2: Right. Some guys say it's a science. Some guys say 552 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 2: it's an art, some guys say it's a feel. How 553 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 2: would you describe play calling? 554 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 6: I think the biggest part of it is about preparation, 555 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 6: you know, so obviously being able to have a fill 556 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 6: on game is important. Being able to adapt in the 557 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 6: just depending what the opponent is giving is going to 558 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 6: be a big part of you having success on game day. 559 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 6: But it's about what are you doing throughout the week 560 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 6: putting the game and putting the game on from a 561 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 6: game plan standpoint, how you bring it to life More importantly, 562 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 6: how you explain those details to your players, because all 563 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 6: boils down to not how smart you claim to be 564 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 6: a want to be as a play caller, but how 565 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 6: smart are your players? What those guys can activate on 566 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 6: game day? 567 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 4: All right, Thomas, let's take it back when we got 568 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 4: that number twenty on at Uga. 569 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 3: Okay, we're going back to running backs. All the conversation 570 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 3: is off season is our running backs are devalued. But 571 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 3: every week all I hear is how valuable the running 572 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 3: game is? 573 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,479 Speaker 4: Right, what is the difference between the value of running 574 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 4: backs and the value of the running game. 575 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 6: Well, Steve, I'll say this, staying in the frustration the 576 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 6: round the league when it comes to some of these 577 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 6: elite players who will continued to produce on a consistent 578 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 6: basis and want to. 579 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 5: Be rewarded for it. 580 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 6: But all can do is speak for us as from 581 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 6: an organization standpoint and our value. 582 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 5: And I went off a guy like. 583 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 6: Miles Sons, for example, who had great value for us, 584 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 6: and people may say from a market value standpoint it 585 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 6: was a little bit higher, but just as far as 586 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 6: how we want to be built identity wise, it was 587 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 6: a perfect fit for us when it comes to how 588 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 6: we're building your system, but also a great for rookie 589 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 6: quarterback as well. 590 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 2: Miles can do it all. 591 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: We all know that he can do a lot of 592 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: different things as a running back Thomason And so last 593 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: one for me is you're going into your second game 594 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: with your quarterback. Everybody talks about adversity when things don't 595 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: go right for young quarterbacks. How do they bounce back? 596 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: How do they respond? What was your take on this week? 597 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: What may be instances if there is one that sticks 598 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: out to you most about Bryce where you said, oh okay. 599 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 2: This is kind of different than this guy, Well. 600 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 6: I think, to me is what I've seen every single 601 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 6: day and he stepped foot on in his organization. From 602 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 6: a practice standp went preparation wise, Pross. 603 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 2: In the media room. 604 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 5: I mean, he is calm, cool, collective. 605 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 6: But one thing I did see that I love is 606 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 6: obviously from a game play standpoint, just to fire the 607 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 6: emotion of the theme and the solid when it comes 608 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 6: to making players, getting guys going, but obviously wanting to 609 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 6: have the ball in his hands when it counts the most, 610 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 6: so we can definitely build upon when it comes to 611 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 6: our overall operation. 612 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,959 Speaker 4: Thomas Brown, offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers, thank you 613 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,360 Speaker 4: so much.

Okay, 639 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 7: they were a quarterback. You know, you got to count 640 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 7: for him in a run game. They're a power run team. 641 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 7: Like they just do certain things that they're really good at. 642 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 7: And the Patriots do that. And the Patriots had a 643 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 7: good game plan. They were they played a lot of his own. 644 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 7: They clouded all their deep shots that Eagles didn't get 645 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 7: one play down the field the AJ Brown or to 646 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 7: Plant Smith, not one. They averaged five yards you know 647 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 7: an attempt like they should be up around eight yards 648 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 7: in a temp. All right, we're not getting carried away 649 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 7: with stats. But and then they played a five minute 650 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 7: defensive front with one linebacker, and they basically said, okay, 651 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 7: move us off the ball. And those all those mercenaries 652 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 7: up front that played Patriot football, they didn't get moved, 653 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 7: you know, they didn't get moved by Jordan Mulatta and 654 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 7: by Kelsey and Lane. Like they held their ground really well. 655 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 7: They shut down on what was a powerful running game 656 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 7: a week ago. I mean it was it was good 657 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 7: balance what the Patriots did defensively. 658 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 4: Hey, Baldy, the folks are listening to the podcast won't 659 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 4: be able to see it.

Sometimes it was eyelands 667 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 7: get a little heavy, like even two fifth they keep 668 00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 7: the eye open, you know. 669 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 3: I mean, this is this is how dedicated you are, Baldy. 670 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 3: But you just talked about that Patrio's defense. 671 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,439 Speaker 4: Well, this week they faced a buzz saw of an 672 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 4: offense with the Miami Dolphins. We saw them hang thirty 673 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 4: six on the Chargers. I mean, the passing game layered 674 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 4: all over the place. I know Mike mc daniels said 675 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 4: he wanted to run the ball more, but Jesus man, 676 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 4: it seemed like they were throwing the ball all the 677 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 4: time with routes that could not be denied. 678 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 7: Well, look, I mean Tyreek had you know, one of 679 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 7: those days, okay, And I was just shocked that the 680 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 7: Chargers never adjusted like you got. Like I've seen Bill 681 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 7: Belichick play elite receivers and they will cloud them. I 682 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 7: don't care what the name of the back of the 683 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 7: jersey was. Could have been Chad Johnson back in the day. 684 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 7: You know, they had a cloud over the top. And 685 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 7: this throw right here by Tyreek, Like, where is the 686 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 7: safety over the top on that at thirty five yard touchdown? 687 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 7: This game winner right here, you're gonna put Mike Davis 688 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 7: on him. There was nowhere else that to was going 689 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 7: but to Tyreek. And so like this the first play 690 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 7: the game, I don't know, they're in some kind of 691 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 7: a walk away with Khalil Mack. The safety wasn't sure 692 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 7: if they were going to clamp him in his own 693 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 7: like he. 694 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 2: Was just too wide open all day. 695 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 7: And I just don't believe the Patriots will let that happen. 696 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 7: Like maybe Jalen Wide gets some you know, maybe the 697 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 7: running backs get a few more, but I don't think 698 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 7: Tyreek Hill is going to run wide open and open 699 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 7: freeways up there in Foxborough this week. 700 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 6: There. 701 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: I'm curious, aboudy what on the other side of the 702 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: coin with the way Mike McDaniel does things in terms 703 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: of when he sees this Sunday and you want to 704 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: see what Bill Belichick's trying to take away early? What 705 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: does he do as an offensive mine to adjust to 706 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: to an experienced defensive caller like Bill Belichick. 707 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 7: Well, there's you know, there's formations like how are they 708 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 7: playing informations James, I mean bunch formation. Are they manning 709 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 7: it or they's owning it? You know, there's so many 710 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 7: different factors that you're just sending indicators. You know, is 711 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 7: there gonna be a lot of more pre stat motion 712 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 7: this week? And how the Patriots handled that? They do 713 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 7: the Patriots disguise their motion and tell you that they're 714 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 7: playing man and then play zone off of it. You know, 715 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 7: I thought it was interesting last week Eagles took a 716 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 7: deep shot to AJ Brown and you know it's a 717 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 7: classic to Jalen Hurst and A J. Brown, And there's 718 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 7: Gonzales and Maypou, two rookies that bracketed it. You couldn't 719 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,959 Speaker 7: have walked through it on Friday afternoon any better than 720 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 7: they executed it. Mike wants to see that, like, are 721 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 7: they going to bracket our deep shots? Are they going 722 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 7: to cloud it? And if they do, then the underneath 723 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 7: should work, should open? Are they gonna play zone? Are 724 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 7: they gonna mix it up? Are they playing half field 725 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 7: man Halffield zone? Like Mike's looking for all those indicators 726 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 7: and then for any indicator that he sees, He's got 727 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 7: a beater for it, you know, whether it's a man beater, 728 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 7: whether it's flooding the zone. But the good thing is 729 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 7: Tua was so clear in what he was looking at 730 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 7: last Sunday. And people can argue all they want about too. 731 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 7: If that guy going back to Alabama days is mechanically sound, 732 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 7: his feet gets set, and when his feet gets set, 733 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 7: like he makes one stick throw after another like right here, 734 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 7: like in stride, you're gonna get aldiac Like he is 735 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 7: a deadly accurate thrower and his deep ball, like you 736 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 7: can't throw it any better over the top. Now that's 737 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 7: the fourth corner right there. 738 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 2: You know, the Chargers. Why not go after. 739 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 4: Hey, Baldy, speaking about mechanically sound and indicators, Let's go 740 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 4: to Jordan Love because for a couple of years we 741 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 4: heard there was no indication that he was gonna be 742 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 4: able to play. 743 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 3: Quarterback in this league. 744 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 4: And from what we saw in the preseason and his debut, 745 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 4: he looks like he's going to be just fine. 746 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 7: Well, I mean, just think about the receiving card he's 747 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 7: throwing a Jaden Reid their second round pick. Yeah, Romeo 748 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 7: Dobbs the second round you know, for a year or 749 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 7: two right now, that touched the floater to Romeo Dobbs. 750 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 7: All right, just a back shoulder fade in the corner 751 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 7: of the end zone. We've watched far do it for 752 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 7: fifteen years. We want Sharon Rodgers do it for fifteen years, 753 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 7: and we might just watch Jordan Love Jeordan for fifty 754 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 7: because he threw it just the way both those. 755 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 2: Hall of famers threw it. 756 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, like it was he knew exactly where to put 757 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 7: that ball and let doms go get it, all right. 758 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 3: Baldy, that's really great stuff. 759 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 4: We're gonna make a transition from Jordan Love to the 760 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 4: story of the week and Aaron Rodgers and Baldy we 761 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 4: will see you next Thursday.

An injury like this to someone 780 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 4: like Aaron Rodgers, who again you spent years around at 781 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 4: thirty nine, the coping mechanisms he might have to put 782 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 4: in place or whatever, Like, what can you tell us 783 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 4: about maybe what he's going to have to deal with here? 784 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, no question. 785 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 2: Good to be with you guys. 786 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 8: And I do have a pillow in the background. 787 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 3: Like Baldy and a dog. 788 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 8: I see with Aaron Rodgers, it was time for him 789 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 8: to move on, right, And you just spoke with Baldy 790 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 8: about Jordan Love and just how efficient he was, and 791 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 8: they've really given him the keys to the to the 792 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 8: jeep if you will. I mean in Green Bay, and 793 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 8: there's got to be something about the water in Green 794 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 8: Bay when you come out and have a performance like that. 795 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 8: But I would just classify this as traumatizing, and Jeff Collette, 796 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 8: the producer, could probably attest as a Packers fan like 797 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 8: traumatizing and devastating for any player to suffer an injury 798 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,800 Speaker 8: in the first game, but for it to be Aaron Rodgers, 799 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 8: who will be a first ballot as we all know. 800 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 8: And I can't recall like you and I spoke Steve 801 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 8: this week on the phone, and I just can't recall 802 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 8: a player of this magnitude in Week one, suffering such 803 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 8: a distinct injury, it's and then the questions sort of prevail, 804 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 8: like is this going to be the end of his career? 805 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 2: We were told. 806 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 8: Basically in that post that he gave us all on Instagram. No, 807 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 8: and then Nathaniel Hackett spoke today as well about the 808 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 8: fact that they fully believe, at least there in the 809 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 8: Jets building, that he's going to come back. And that's 810 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,240 Speaker 8: going to be I think the most interesting thing because 811 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 8: he's played their injuries in his career. This is achilles injury. 812 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 8: It's unlike you know, other injuries, and it takes a 813 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 8: long time after the surgery to heal and to really 814 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,919 Speaker 8: get back your feet again, if you will. But yeah, 815 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,399 Speaker 8: it's devastating. It's traumatizing for the team, and I think 816 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 8: we've all learned that given some of the comments and 817 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 8: interviews done this week. 818 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 1: Stasey, I'm curious about the man that's always so closely 819 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: tied to Aaron Rodgers, and that's Nathaniel Hackett, And now 820 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: that he is there and he is not going to 821 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: be working this season with Aaron Rodgers, how much of 822 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: a spotlight is there on Nathaniel Hackett now that it's 823 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: going to be him and Zach Wilson and not him 824 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers. 825 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 8: I think you nailed it, James, and you were there 826 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 8: obviously for a lot of what took place in Denver 827 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 8: right as he embarked upon his head coach. I was 828 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:45,359 Speaker 8: in the NFL, Yes, you were. He's going to bear 829 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,919 Speaker 8: the responsibility fully, and I think you'll have an Aaron 830 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,240 Speaker 8: Rodgers who's very involved. Aaron's a coach on the field. 831 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,879 Speaker 8: Aaron dictates, as he's done his entire career, so much 832 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 8: of what happens at the line of scrimmage he doesn't. 833 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 8: You could argue, like Tom Brady doesn't need a play call. 834 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 8: He's going to call the game himself. And when you 835 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 8: have that kind of a blankie, it makes your job 836 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 8: as an offensive coordinator a lot easier now, Like it 837 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 8: was really interesting when they were together in Green Bay. 838 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 8: I had some great conversations with coach Hacket. You know, 839 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 8: he runs the stairs before the game, He's out there 840 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 8: about three hours early. Those are the best times to 841 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 8: grab a coach because the game plan's been set all week. 842 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,359 Speaker 8: They're finally ready to just go let it rip, and 843 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:33,399 Speaker 8: you know, finding ways to stimulate Aaron Rodgers every single day, 844 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,879 Speaker 8: with every single game plan is extraordinary to hear from 845 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 8: the offensive coordinator. So now fast forward, and he's going 846 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 8: to have a great deal of responsibility and making sure 847 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 8: Zach Wilson is capable and in good situations to get 848 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 8: the football out and make sure this team believes in him. 849 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 8: But I'll tell you what if you can run for 850 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:52,760 Speaker 8: one hundred and seventy two. 851 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 2: Yards like they did. 852 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 8: Despite Rogers going down, and you've got Bryce Hall who's 853 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 8: over one hundred on the ground and Delvin Cook, I 854 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 8: would say there, there's the formula to start with. If 855 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:05,879 Speaker 8: you're the New York Jets. 856 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the formula that got them to five and 857 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 1: two at the start of last season. I see some 858 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,439 Speaker 1: pause moving around over there. Stacey sleeping dogs. 859 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 5: I know that. 860 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 3: I know that from the streaming. 861 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 1: We're in dreamland right now. She is in dreamland. And 862 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 1: you know who's in dreamland right now? All of Detroit 863 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 1: after they took down the reigning Super Bowl champs in 864 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 1: the first week. Let's hear Dan Campbell after that win 865 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 1: before we get back to Stace. 866 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 9: I didn't learn anything. I got verification on what I 867 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 9: already knew and this is a resilient team. It already 868 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 9: was a resilient team. And we added pieces to that 869 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:45,280 Speaker 9: resilient team. So we're built to handle some some stuff. 870 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 9: And and we did that today against a very good. 871 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 8: Opponent, Motor City Dan. 872 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 2: They didn't do that. Hey, they did do that. 873 00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 3: Stays. 874 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 1: How different is that building now with that man and 875 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: where they are right now, Stacy, where is that building. 876 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 2: In terms of their mindset? 877 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,319 Speaker 8: I am so passionate about this, Like, okay, if you 878 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 8: don't believe in the Detroit Lions, and I'll put my 879 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 8: neck out there for this team. These are a bunch 880 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 8: of ballers when you walk in that building, this is 881 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 8: a group of winners. I mean obviously, you know, we 882 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 8: saw them go on the road. I don't care you know, 883 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 8: No Travis Kelcey, no, Chris Jones. I mean yeah, obviously 884 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 8: those are really incredible players and are going to be, 885 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 8: you know, impactful for the Chiefs this season. But that 886 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 8: is as you know, James, you're there all the time 887 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 8: at Arrowhead, that that environment, that's one hundred and forty 888 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 8: two decibels of noise in your ears. Now here's what 889 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 8: I'll say about Detroit that Ford Field is going to 890 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 8: be obnoxiously loud. So when you cover a game at 891 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,479 Speaker 8: Ford Field, they've got an open press bock in press box. 892 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 8: So listeners out there, what does that mean? You guys 893 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 8: know it's the there's no shield, there's no glass, it 894 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 8: is open. So when I do a game there, I 895 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 8: literally have to take my noise reducing headsets or my 896 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 8: ear plugs, and I got to put them in because 897 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 8: it is deafening at that field. And the culture is 898 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 8: really incredible. Jared Goff has been revitalized. He's playing I 899 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 8: wrote it down three hundred and fifty nine pass attempts 900 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 8: with that an interception? Are you kidding me? 901 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 3: Yep? 902 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:27,280 Speaker 8: I mean third long streak. Ever, their rookie has been sensational, 903 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 8: so it's an exciting time in Detroit. 904 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 4: And says the fact they're playing a Seahawks team, it's 905 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 4: gonna be desperate. I just want to know the Blue 906 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 4: Man group. Jaunty Gardner.

Frankly, they don't really 993 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:38,280 Speaker 13: have much of a choice. 994 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 5: He's right now. 995 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 13: He is certainly their best option. He knows the offense, 996 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,280 Speaker 13: he's been there, and they all talked about how improved 997 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,800 Speaker 13: he has been since OTA's and training camp. So I 998 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 13: think the message had come from Sala, like, Okay, you 999 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 13: had like the forty eight hours to sort of mourn 1000 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,279 Speaker 13: this injury, and now you've got the Dallas Cowboys and 1001 00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 13: you've got sixteen games and you're one to zero, and 1002 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 13: so it's time to get ready. With Zach Wilson. You know, 1003 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,840 Speaker 13: Dalvin Cook, who is like basically the newest member of 1004 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 13: the New York Jets. I thought I had the most 1005 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,239 Speaker 13: interesting balance of emotions because he was a little bit wistful. 1006 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 13: He said he had come there hoping to get a 1007 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 13: handoff from eight, he said, from a great Obviously that's 1008 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,760 Speaker 13: not going to happen this year. But then he said, 1009 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 13: like Zach knows, we've got his back, like we've all 1010 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,520 Speaker 13: got to play better for Zach. And then he talked 1011 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 13: again about how much confidence he has, which is a 1012 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 13: big thing for the Jets because last year that was 1013 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,799 Speaker 13: a shattered quarterback and so the fact that he's got 1014 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,120 Speaker 13: confidence in himself and that the team around him has 1015 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 13: confidence him is a big, big deal if this is 1016 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 13: going to work. 1017 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, Mike, I want to ask you about that shattered quarterback. 1018 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:49,200 Speaker 1: Have the Jets looked elsewhere. Yet I'm assuming that started 1019 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,840 Speaker 1: and he'd look at a backup, a veteran backup. What 1020 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,880 Speaker 1: are their options around Zach Wilson. 1021 00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:58,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, backup is. 1022 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,560 Speaker 11: The key word, because they don't want to bring anybody 1023 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,680 Speaker 11: that anybody else would be clamoring for, any of the 1024 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,200 Speaker 11: fans would be clamoring for. They want to make it 1025 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,399 Speaker 11: clear that Zach Wilson's got a clear runway here, So 1026 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,439 Speaker 11: any of the options would be uninspiring for the starting extent, 1027 00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,319 Speaker 11: but not that there are any inspiring ones. Jet Sores 1028 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,799 Speaker 11: told me here immediately, Zach Wilson gives us the best 1029 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,839 Speaker 11: chance to win, so they definitely want to make sure 1030 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,520 Speaker 11: that he's got his right mind about him. Right now, 1031 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,680 Speaker 11: they're going to elevate Tim Boyle from the practice squad. 1032 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,279 Speaker 11: They've got three elevations that they're allowed to do before 1033 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,440 Speaker 11: they have to add him to the roster permanently. So 1034 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 11: wouldn't be surprised if Zach Wilson is the only quarterback 1035 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,000 Speaker 11: on the active roster, perhaps for the next couple of 1036 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,359 Speaker 11: weeks while they bounce Boiled back and forth, and then 1037 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 11: maybe add another long term sinus. 1038 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,279 Speaker 4: All right, Michael Judy, we know you guys are on 1039 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 4: the clock, So look to Mike Gara follow for talking 1040 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 4: through the sound checks. That is a very difficult part 1041 00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,360 Speaker 4: of the things that we have to do. So props 1042 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,759 Speaker 4: my brother Judy great cooms at credit cale dot com 1043 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 4: slash Batista, So make sure to check out the column 1044 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,240 Speaker 4: on the Jets' future and JP that Aaron Rodgers' injury 1045 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:04,080 Speaker 4: has sparked a new conversation about artificial turf versus grass. 1046 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,839 Speaker 4: So when we come back on the NFL report, what's 1047 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 4: it going to be like underguy's feet. 1048 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 3: Well before it. 1049 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:24,400 Speaker 4: Back in the NFL report, and Aaron Rodgers' injury sparked 1050 00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:28,359 Speaker 4: another huge debate, JP, and that is to turf or 1051 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,839 Speaker 4: to have natural grass. As the NFL PA came out 1052 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:36,080 Speaker 4: and said that all fields should be natural grass. David Botiari, 1053 00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,479 Speaker 4: the left tackle for the Packers during the game, said, 1054 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:43,520 Speaker 4: this is another incident of artificial turf leading to an injury. 1055 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,879 Speaker 3: But JP, we've heard the discussion. We know it's not 1056 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:48,720 Speaker 3: going to happen. 1057 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 4: There are some teams that are just not going to 1058 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,840 Speaker 4: put in natural grass. It could be to climate, it 1059 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:54,680 Speaker 4: could be to a dome. 1060 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:55,759 Speaker 3: There's no natural. 1061 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,920 Speaker 4: Grass going in Mercedes Benz in Atlanta or the super 1062 00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,880 Speaker 4: Dome in New Orleans. So this is going to be 1063 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:05,480 Speaker 4: a continued debate, James, And so to tell people really 1064 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 4: about it, we're thinking about stadiums a lot when it 1065 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 4: comes to artificial term for grass. 1066 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:11,680 Speaker 3: But this is practice. 1067 00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 4: Fields, this is indoor facilities as well. There's a lot 1068 00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,200 Speaker 4: more to it than just natural grass at stadiums. 1069 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:20,439 Speaker 2: That's exactly right. 1070 00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,359 Speaker 1: I was at Broncos when Russell Wilson talked about this 1071 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,319 Speaker 1: this week and it was actually, I don't know, maybe 1072 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 1: it's a rarity, a very honest moment from Russell Wilson 1073 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,319 Speaker 1: where he took a stance Dave. 1074 00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:30,120 Speaker 2: He had an opinion. 1075 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:33,760 Speaker 1: He said, specifically practice He wants to be on grass 1076 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,080 Speaker 1: fields for his ankles, for his knees. He brought up 1077 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,080 Speaker 1: the indoor facility that the Broncos have and it's a 1078 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 1: newer endoor facility that they have. And if that doesn't 1079 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 1: show you the way veteran players that we talk to 1080 00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,320 Speaker 1: Steve around the league feel about indoor practice facilities. Usually 1081 00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,799 Speaker 1: if there's weather or something that happens, the team has 1082 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 1: to go indoors. There is every veteran on the team 1083 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,799 Speaker 1: that is throwing on the sneakers and they are like, 1084 00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,600 Speaker 1: I am done for today. I am doing a walkthrough. 1085 00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:58,799 Speaker 1: That is the extent of what I'll do on this 1086 00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,319 Speaker 1: indoor practice facilit That's usually what happens yep, during the week. 1087 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 1: It's funny that that's their thinking, right Steve. But at 1088 00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,600 Speaker 1: the same time, then on Sunday they're going to go 1089 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,359 Speaker 1: out and play on a turf field. And you brought 1090 00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 1: this up earlier their first instance into the NFL as 1091 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,520 Speaker 1: a young prospect, that the NFL combine is on what surface. 1092 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,440 Speaker 4: It is not on natural grass, it is on turf, 1093 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,920 Speaker 4: I mean, and that's part of it. And this is 1094 00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,279 Speaker 4: where Joe Burrow, JP and you were talking about this 1095 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,440 Speaker 4: when he came out to if we're going to have turf, 1096 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 4: it should be universal turf at all of those sites idea, 1097 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,719 Speaker 4: And speaking with the NFL, it is up to each 1098 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 4: individual team on which turf manufacturer they want to use 1099 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,880 Speaker 4: for their stadiums and for their practice facility. 1100 00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:40,680 Speaker 3: So that is a good idea by Joe Burrow. Why 1101 00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:41,520 Speaker 3: don't you elaborate. 1102 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:44,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that Joe came up with that idea, 1103 00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,680 Speaker 1: considering he's a guy that's also had an ACL in 1104 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:48,880 Speaker 1: the past, right, and also is somebody that spends a 1105 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:50,400 Speaker 1: lot of time on the turf depending on how his 1106 00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 1: offensive line plays. But having a universal turf from field 1107 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,240 Speaker 1: to field, at least in his mind, would give players 1108 00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,239 Speaker 1: an understanding of what they're going to be playing on 1109 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,319 Speaker 1: and a knowledge before they get to that game on 1110 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,200 Speaker 1: what playing surface they're going to be playing on. But 1111 00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,000 Speaker 1: again we'll find out if that happens. There's a lot 1112 00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,720 Speaker 1: that goes on in these stadiums moving forward in different 1113 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:13,720 Speaker 1: types of events, monster trucks, all sorts of stuff. Steve, 1114 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:15,480 Speaker 1: it was a pleasure. I'm going to see you Monday. 1115 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,760 Speaker 1: We'll recap some Week two games on the NFL Report. 1116 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:23,839 Speaker 2: See you guys on Monday,
