It started getting twitchy a little bit. Yeah, 40 00:01:43,548 --> 00:01:45,508 Speaker 6: once you get through training camp, I learned that can't 41 00:01:45,548 --> 00:01:47,108 Speaker 6: wait for the season to start. But now it's not 42 00:01:47,108 --> 00:01:47,548 Speaker 6: even training. 43 00:01:47,588 --> 00:01:49,788 Speaker 3: But when you're on the other side of things, you're like, let's. 44 00:01:49,628 --> 00:01:51,948 Speaker 6: Now here we go, let's go. What kind of flights 45 00:01:51,988 --> 00:01:54,068 Speaker 6: are we looking at, right Tom? What kind of flights 46 00:01:54,068 --> 00:01:56,268 Speaker 6: are they delayed? What kind of travel shenanigans are we 47 00:01:56,308 --> 00:01:58,068 Speaker 6: going with? And what kind of new poles are we 48 00:01:58,068 --> 00:01:58,988 Speaker 6: going to get on network? 49 00:01:59,228 --> 00:02:02,068 Speaker 4: All hinges on to poles And with that, it is 50 00:02:02,108 --> 00:02:02,628 Speaker 4: time now. 51 00:02:02,548 --> 00:02:04,268 Speaker 3: For the lead. 52 00:02:04,628 --> 00:02:08,188 Speaker 4: George Kittle, one of the many offensive weapons the Niners 53 00:02:08,228 --> 00:02:11,068 Speaker 4: have on hand to help whoever ends up starting at 54 00:02:11,148 --> 00:02:13,988 Speaker 4: quarterback in San Francisco. You got Christian McCaffer, you got 55 00:02:14,028 --> 00:02:16,188 Speaker 4: Deebo Samuel, you got Brendan and I you just to 56 00:02:16,388 --> 00:02:19,828 Speaker 4: mention a few. Kittle seems fine with sharing, though, telling 57 00:02:19,828 --> 00:02:21,908 Speaker 4: the forty nine Ers website, it's really fun to be 58 00:02:21,908 --> 00:02:24,108 Speaker 4: on a team that does have a problem of too 59 00:02:24,108 --> 00:02:27,668 Speaker 4: many malesify because coach Shanahan says such a great job 60 00:02:27,708 --> 00:02:30,948 Speaker 4: of scheming everybody into getting certain plays, and it's just 61 00:02:30,988 --> 00:02:32,468 Speaker 4: really fun to be a part of an offense that 62 00:02:32,548 --> 00:02:36,468 Speaker 4: has so much talent on Kittle sounding pretty upbeat for 63 00:02:36,508 --> 00:02:39,028 Speaker 4: a guy who has no idea for certain who his 64 00:02:39,068 --> 00:02:41,628 Speaker 4: starting quarterback is going to be Week one. Brock Purty 65 00:02:41,748 --> 00:02:45,468 Speaker 4: continuing his rehab, Trey Lance, Sam Darnold splitting first team rep. So, 66 00:02:45,948 --> 00:02:49,628 Speaker 4: despite the uncertainty at quarterback, do the Niners deserve to 67 00:02:49,628 --> 00:02:51,508 Speaker 4: be called elite in the NFC? 68 00:02:51,748 --> 00:02:54,668 Speaker 5: Tom Let's start up by talking about brock Purty, who 69 00:02:54,748 --> 00:02:56,708 Speaker 5: suffered the injury that you saw right there in the 70 00:02:56,788 --> 00:02:59,828 Speaker 5: video in the playoff game, significant injury he got the 71 00:02:59,948 --> 00:03:03,748 Speaker 5: surgery and internal brace to repair the UCL started throwing 72 00:03:03,788 --> 00:03:07,148 Speaker 5: about a month go. I'm told today he's actually flying 73 00:03:07,228 --> 00:03:09,668 Speaker 5: down to Jacksonville, Florida, where he's gonna be thrown for 74 00:03:09,708 --> 00:03:11,708 Speaker 5: the next couple of weeks with Will Hewlett, who's a 75 00:03:11,788 --> 00:03:15,388 Speaker 5: quarterback coach. Was Tom Gormley, who's an orthopedic specialist, same 76 00:03:15,428 --> 00:03:19,668 Speaker 5: guy as Aran Anthony Richardson's pre draft process this year. 77 00:03:20,028 --> 00:03:22,548 Speaker 5: The fact that he's actively doing this continue to wrap 78 00:03:22,628 --> 00:03:25,468 Speaker 5: up his throwing shows what the forty nine ers have 79 00:03:25,468 --> 00:03:27,588 Speaker 5: been saying, which is that he's making really good progress 80 00:03:27,628 --> 00:03:29,868 Speaker 5: and they fully expect the brock Purty is going to 81 00:03:29,948 --> 00:03:32,308 Speaker 5: be back for the start of the twenty twenty three season. 82 00:03:32,668 --> 00:03:35,748 Speaker 5: And less we forget how good brock Purty was. Yes, 83 00:03:35,948 --> 00:03:38,708 Speaker 5: every team in the NFL passed over him many times. 84 00:03:38,748 --> 00:03:41,588 Speaker 5: He's the last pick in last year's draft, but his 85 00:03:41,748 --> 00:03:45,788 Speaker 5: first seven starts all wins, including two playoff games. He 86 00:03:45,828 --> 00:03:48,988 Speaker 5: threw sixteen touchdown passes and four interceptions last year. But 87 00:03:49,268 --> 00:03:51,948 Speaker 5: for that injury, we might be talking about a super 88 00:03:51,948 --> 00:03:55,628 Speaker 5: Bowl bound brock Party a remarkable season. You still have 89 00:03:55,628 --> 00:03:58,348 Speaker 5: Trey Lance, a highly drafted player, soo Sam Dartold another 90 00:03:58,388 --> 00:04:01,428 Speaker 5: form number three overall pick. What Kyle Shanahan said earlier 91 00:04:01,508 --> 00:04:04,388 Speaker 5: this offseason, there's one guy who've seen who has done it, 92 00:04:04,748 --> 00:04:08,028 Speaker 5: and that was Brock Party last year. If he continues 93 00:04:08,108 --> 00:04:10,348 Speaker 5: to progress, there's ever a reason to expect that he 94 00:04:10,468 --> 00:04:14,028 Speaker 5: comes in atop that depth chart once he's totally cut loose. 95 00:04:14,108 --> 00:04:16,708 Speaker 9: Yeah, the plan for Party not only from a rehab standpoint, 96 00:04:16,748 --> 00:04:19,308 Speaker 9: but also long term, how to make him a better thrower. 97 00:04:19,308 --> 00:04:21,028 Speaker 9: That's the idea behind the next couple of weeks here 98 00:04:21,028 --> 00:04:22,268 Speaker 9: as he works in his throwing mechanics. 99 00:04:22,308 --> 00:04:23,348 Speaker 7: But yeah, great sign, great SI. 100 00:04:23,828 --> 00:04:26,428 Speaker 9: You know, we've heard so many different timelines on Party 101 00:04:26,428 --> 00:04:29,548 Speaker 9: this offseason, sometimes from the forty nine ers themselves and 102 00:04:29,588 --> 00:04:31,308 Speaker 9: the coaches and all that stuff. It seems like he's 103 00:04:31,348 --> 00:04:33,108 Speaker 9: on track to be ready, if not at the start 104 00:04:33,108 --> 00:04:34,948 Speaker 9: of the season, early in the season. Whatever the question 105 00:04:35,028 --> 00:04:37,428 Speaker 9: whether or not they deserve to be elite in the NFC, 106 00:04:37,468 --> 00:04:40,108 Speaker 9: it's a very thin list of who is elite in 107 00:04:40,148 --> 00:04:40,748 Speaker 9: the NFC. 108 00:04:40,828 --> 00:04:43,588 Speaker 7: So is this an elite team period? I think is 109 00:04:43,628 --> 00:04:44,708 Speaker 7: the conversation that we're having. 110 00:04:44,788 --> 00:04:48,828 Speaker 9: I believe so consistently we've seen this team be able 111 00:04:48,868 --> 00:04:52,308 Speaker 9: to put some talent on the field, stay explosive on 112 00:04:52,388 --> 00:04:54,748 Speaker 9: offense the way that they have despite losing Mike McDaniel 113 00:04:54,828 --> 00:04:56,188 Speaker 9: last year, who thought he was a big part of 114 00:04:56,188 --> 00:04:58,988 Speaker 9: what they did offensively that was able to continue and defensively. 115 00:04:59,108 --> 00:05:00,788 Speaker 9: For me, I think that's the biggest thing, and not 116 00:05:00,828 --> 00:05:03,348 Speaker 9: only from a talent standpoint, but from a coaching standpoint 117 00:05:03,348 --> 00:05:05,708 Speaker 9: as well. You look at the last couple of defensive coordinators, 118 00:05:05,748 --> 00:05:08,108 Speaker 9: Robert Salah and Demico Rians. We knew these guys were 119 00:05:08,148 --> 00:05:10,748 Speaker 9: head coaches in waiting. Well, now they've got themselves a 120 00:05:10,788 --> 00:05:13,588 Speaker 9: guy who was a head coach before and now brings 121 00:05:13,628 --> 00:05:14,868 Speaker 9: that experience in Steve Wilks. 122 00:05:14,868 --> 00:05:15,588 Speaker 7: I think this is going to be. 123 00:05:15,588 --> 00:05:19,468 Speaker 9: A really fantastic addition for the forty nine Ers hit 124 00:05:19,508 --> 00:05:21,348 Speaker 9: the ground running with this guy. He's not going to 125 00:05:21,428 --> 00:05:23,988 Speaker 9: try to make wholesale changes on the defensive side of 126 00:05:23,988 --> 00:05:24,348 Speaker 9: the ball. 127 00:05:24,588 --> 00:05:26,028 Speaker 7: He's going to try to play to their strengths. 128 00:05:26,068 --> 00:05:27,908 Speaker 9: We know what they're able to do upfront, especially since 129 00:05:27,948 --> 00:05:30,788 Speaker 9: they added Javon Hargrave from the Eagles as well to 130 00:05:30,828 --> 00:05:33,948 Speaker 9: that defensive front. This is really a strong defense, and 131 00:05:33,988 --> 00:05:35,948 Speaker 9: Wilkes is going to play to their strength and bring 132 00:05:35,988 --> 00:05:38,908 Speaker 9: that leadership that he showed with the Carolina Panthers that 133 00:05:38,948 --> 00:05:40,868 Speaker 9: I thought should have landed him a head coaching job, 134 00:05:40,868 --> 00:05:41,148 Speaker 9: but didn't. 135 00:05:41,228 --> 00:05:42,508 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's going to be a big factor with the 136 00:05:42,508 --> 00:05:45,068 Speaker 6: forty nine Ers, that Steve Wilks transition. I think this 137 00:05:45,188 --> 00:05:47,428 Speaker 6: defense alone, when you just look at how talented it is, 138 00:05:47,628 --> 00:05:50,188 Speaker 6: they're going to be elite and they're so physical upfront. 139 00:05:50,188 --> 00:05:53,148 Speaker 6: Adding Javon Hargrove to that defense, and then we saw 140 00:05:53,348 --> 00:05:56,108 Speaker 6: the videos on their Fred Warner, like what he does 141 00:05:57,348 --> 00:05:59,468 Speaker 6: as a linebacker, how physical and how fast he is. 142 00:05:59,628 --> 00:06:01,588 Speaker 6: Not even just the defense though, Like when you look 143 00:06:01,588 --> 00:06:03,228 Speaker 6: at the offense, I feel like the forty Niners are 144 00:06:03,228 --> 00:06:05,268 Speaker 6: one of the most physical teams in e laitue. 145 00:06:05,348 --> 00:06:06,348 Speaker 8: Like we have these. 146 00:06:06,268 --> 00:06:08,868 Speaker 6: Elite categories and everybody's gonna go to like stats and 147 00:06:09,188 --> 00:06:11,588 Speaker 6: you know, numbers and all stuff. When you watch the 148 00:06:11,588 --> 00:06:13,948 Speaker 6: forty iers play football, like you feel the impact. 149 00:06:14,028 --> 00:06:16,308 Speaker 7: You hear the impact. They're on Fox. 150 00:06:16,388 --> 00:06:20,348 Speaker 6: Fox every year wins the Emmys for the Best Sound 151 00:06:21,028 --> 00:06:26,068 Speaker 6: in Televisions, And when Fox games are played and it's 152 00:06:26,068 --> 00:06:27,708 Speaker 6: the forty nine Ers playing on Fox. 153 00:06:27,708 --> 00:06:28,188 Speaker 7: You hear it. 154 00:06:28,188 --> 00:06:33,428 Speaker 6: It's Kittle, it's Debo McCaffrey. Defensively, offensively, they are a physical, 155 00:06:33,548 --> 00:06:36,108 Speaker 6: pound you team and I almost feel like, you know 156 00:06:36,108 --> 00:06:37,908 Speaker 6: what with Kyle Shannon at the Helm. It doesn't matter 157 00:06:37,908 --> 00:06:40,228 Speaker 6: who's playing quarterback, He's gonna find a way to win games. 158 00:06:40,268 --> 00:06:40,828 Speaker 7: He tried it out. 159 00:06:40,908 --> 00:06:43,508 Speaker 6: Nick Mullens won football games with him, He won games 160 00:06:43,548 --> 00:06:46,148 Speaker 6: with Trey Lance, he won games with Jimmy Garoppolo, and 161 00:06:46,188 --> 00:06:48,748 Speaker 6: then when Perdy came off the bench, nobody expected anything 162 00:06:48,748 --> 00:06:50,268 Speaker 6: from him, and yet he still found a way to 163 00:06:50,308 --> 00:06:52,948 Speaker 6: win games. So I think Kyle Shannon doesn't get enough 164 00:06:52,948 --> 00:06:55,268 Speaker 6: credit for how many games he's won with all these 165 00:06:55,308 --> 00:06:58,148 Speaker 6: different quarterbacks. If he could just have one stay healthy 166 00:06:58,188 --> 00:07:00,388 Speaker 6: for an entire season, now we'd have a different conversation 167 00:07:00,428 --> 00:07:01,988 Speaker 6: about the forty iers and where they're at. But this 168 00:07:02,068 --> 00:07:04,308 Speaker 6: team is physical, and I think any team that plays 169 00:07:04,548 --> 00:07:06,588 Speaker 6: I'd love to see their record after playing the forty 170 00:07:06,668 --> 00:07:08,988 Speaker 6: nine ers the next week because after that game, they're 171 00:07:08,988 --> 00:07:11,028 Speaker 6: still beat up the next week because they're so physical 172 00:07:11,028 --> 00:07:11,868 Speaker 6: on both sides of the ball. 173 00:07:12,028 --> 00:07:14,148 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll pick you up back what you're saying on 174 00:07:14,468 --> 00:07:17,068 Speaker 4: Kyle Shanahan, because I think Kyle Shanahan's elite given what 175 00:07:17,108 --> 00:07:19,348 Speaker 4: they did last year. And we the new cycle moved 176 00:07:19,388 --> 00:07:21,308 Speaker 4: so fast, right and we move on and Tom, you 177 00:07:21,308 --> 00:07:22,988 Speaker 4: were talking about brock party and can we get this 178 00:07:23,028 --> 00:07:25,108 Speaker 4: guy healthy a year ago, who was talking about Brock Party. 179 00:07:25,148 --> 00:07:27,268 Speaker 4: Nobody If you would have said, Hey, the Niners are 180 00:07:27,308 --> 00:07:28,828 Speaker 4: going to have to go to Brock Party this season, 181 00:07:28,828 --> 00:07:30,188 Speaker 4: what do you think of their chances? People would have 182 00:07:30,188 --> 00:07:31,908 Speaker 4: written am OFFENSEID, if they're going that far down on 183 00:07:31,948 --> 00:07:33,908 Speaker 4: the depth chart, they've got big problems. They never missed 184 00:07:33,908 --> 00:07:35,988 Speaker 4: a beat, they never had issues no matter who they 185 00:07:35,988 --> 00:07:38,068 Speaker 4: put in there, and so yes, if they can get 186 00:07:38,068 --> 00:07:40,828 Speaker 4: their guys healthy, but they've proven Kyle Shanahan has proven 187 00:07:40,948 --> 00:07:44,108 Speaker 4: it doesn't matter because they have so many supporting pieces 188 00:07:44,148 --> 00:07:46,308 Speaker 4: in place, they have such a good system in place. 189 00:07:46,348 --> 00:07:48,108 Speaker 4: And then I want to talk again about their defense 190 00:07:48,108 --> 00:07:50,428 Speaker 4: because we talked about McCaffrey, Deebo, all the weapons they 191 00:07:50,468 --> 00:07:53,308 Speaker 4: have on offense, and you brought up Javon Hargrave. Take 192 00:07:53,308 --> 00:07:55,588 Speaker 4: a look at what this defense did without Javon Hargrave 193 00:07:55,828 --> 00:07:56,508 Speaker 4: a season ago. 194 00:07:56,588 --> 00:07:59,548 Speaker 3: Look at a one rare. Doesn't get much better than that. 195 00:07:59,588 --> 00:08:01,468 Speaker 4: And then, oh, by the way, you went out signed 196 00:08:01,508 --> 00:08:03,548 Speaker 4: Javon Hargrave and added him to this So I don't 197 00:08:03,548 --> 00:08:05,868 Speaker 4: think the defense got worse with him on the team. 198 00:08:06,468 --> 00:08:08,748 Speaker 4: And then I know, Mike g you brought up Steve Wilkes, 199 00:08:08,748 --> 00:08:11,388 Speaker 4: who I think did a really tremendous job down there 200 00:08:11,388 --> 00:08:13,948 Speaker 4: in Carolina. And I was with him the first game 201 00:08:13,948 --> 00:08:16,068 Speaker 4: that he took over, and there was just so much 202 00:08:16,108 --> 00:08:18,708 Speaker 4: transition they there was the Matt rule change, and then 203 00:08:18,748 --> 00:08:21,708 Speaker 4: you shipped out Christian McCaffrey. I mean, they had quarterback 204 00:08:21,788 --> 00:08:23,588 Speaker 4: changes left and right, and they were making a run 205 00:08:23,668 --> 00:08:25,068 Speaker 4: at the end of the year. I mean, they almost 206 00:08:25,068 --> 00:08:27,148 Speaker 4: had a chance to get into the postseason. I think 207 00:08:27,188 --> 00:08:30,068 Speaker 4: he did an incredible job in Carolina. I love dealing 208 00:08:30,068 --> 00:08:33,548 Speaker 4: with him. I think he did a tremendous job motivating 209 00:08:33,588 --> 00:08:35,668 Speaker 4: that team and getting a team that really could have 210 00:08:35,748 --> 00:08:38,988 Speaker 4: been in disarray there in Carolina to be playing for something, 211 00:08:38,988 --> 00:08:40,988 Speaker 4: to be playing meaningful games at the end of the year. 212 00:08:41,028 --> 00:08:42,628 Speaker 4: And it would have been really easy for him to 213 00:08:42,628 --> 00:08:44,028 Speaker 4: be like, hey, this is just kind of a mess, 214 00:08:44,068 --> 00:08:45,868 Speaker 4: and I'm taking over here for a second. And they 215 00:08:45,908 --> 00:08:48,908 Speaker 4: made it, I think an incredible, maybe underrated run there in. 216 00:08:48,868 --> 00:08:49,708 Speaker 3: Carolina with Wilke. 217 00:08:49,788 --> 00:08:51,548 Speaker 4: So now you send Wilkes to a team that's got 218 00:08:51,548 --> 00:08:54,788 Speaker 4: everything in place and that defense is spectacular, so are 219 00:08:54,788 --> 00:08:56,988 Speaker 4: they There's no question there an elite team. 220 00:08:57,068 --> 00:09:00,228 Speaker 9: We say it every year come late December, early January. 221 00:09:00,308 --> 00:09:01,788 Speaker 9: This is not the team you want to see come 222 00:09:01,788 --> 00:09:03,908 Speaker 9: into your building in the postseason because you've got the 223 00:09:03,948 --> 00:09:06,788 Speaker 9: style of game that travels. You talk about their physicality, 224 00:09:06,868 --> 00:09:08,908 Speaker 9: their defense, the fact that they can run the football. 225 00:09:08,988 --> 00:09:12,028 Speaker 9: So yeah, I understand the question mark at the quarterback position, 226 00:09:12,068 --> 00:09:15,068 Speaker 9: which is the most important position in the NFL on 227 00:09:15,148 --> 00:09:17,868 Speaker 9: any roster at any given point, but the question about whether. 228 00:09:17,668 --> 00:09:18,428 Speaker 7: They should be elite. 229 00:09:18,428 --> 00:09:21,028 Speaker 9: They check everything else and we know that they're going 230 00:09:21,068 --> 00:09:22,788 Speaker 9: to be competitive, and we know at some point Party's 231 00:09:22,788 --> 00:09:25,348 Speaker 9: going to be healthy and he's going to play the way. 232 00:09:25,188 --> 00:09:27,908 Speaker 7: That Kyle Shanahan wants him to play. That's why they're annoying. 233 00:09:27,708 --> 00:09:27,988 Speaker 8: Him the game. 234 00:09:28,148 --> 00:09:32,388 Speaker 7: They carry four quarterbacks this year. Four. They're gonna have. 235 00:09:32,348 --> 00:09:34,548 Speaker 4: Another quarterback that we've never talked about that might be 236 00:09:34,588 --> 00:09:35,388 Speaker 4: their quarterback next year. 237 00:09:37,468 --> 00:09:39,948 Speaker 3: Got Nate Peter Nate Peterman to the Super Bowl?

You grew up 303 00:12:25,908 --> 00:12:28,988 Speaker 4: a Packers fan. What was your first memory of watching 304 00:12:29,028 --> 00:12:30,908 Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers with the Packers and how did that happen. 305 00:12:30,908 --> 00:12:31,548 Speaker 3: You're from Michigan. 306 00:12:31,548 --> 00:12:32,588 Speaker 10: I want to say we kind of kept out a 307 00:12:32,628 --> 00:12:34,148 Speaker 10: seacret of being in Minnesota for four years. 308 00:12:34,148 --> 00:12:35,628 Speaker 8: I got something he couldn't really mention. 309 00:12:35,788 --> 00:12:37,228 Speaker 10: But my dad was like, my dad and his family 310 00:12:37,268 --> 00:12:39,588 Speaker 10: are diehard Bears fans, and my older cousin was a 311 00:12:39,588 --> 00:12:40,068 Speaker 10: Packers fan. 312 00:12:40,108 --> 00:12:40,708 Speaker 8: So I think I just. 313 00:12:40,708 --> 00:12:42,948 Speaker 10: Jumped on the bandwagon to kind of make the parents mad. 314 00:12:43,068 --> 00:12:44,828 Speaker 10: But being from Michigan, so got the Lions and then 315 00:12:44,868 --> 00:12:47,228 Speaker 10: playing in Minnesota, dad's a Bears fan, group of Packers 316 00:12:47,228 --> 00:12:50,508 Speaker 10: fan and so like my favorite Youears were probably like 317 00:12:50,708 --> 00:12:53,748 Speaker 10: Brett Favro, my Green Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, like that 318 00:12:53,908 --> 00:12:56,748 Speaker 10: was you know, like early childhood memories.

When they won that one, I was I 322 00:13:02,708 --> 00:13:03,228 Speaker 10: was pretty happy. 323 00:13:03,228 --> 00:13:05,748 Speaker 9: All Right, you got Aaron Rodgers, You've got Threeshaul coming 324 00:13:05,748 --> 00:13:08,108 Speaker 9: back from his injury. You've got the reigning offensive and 325 00:13:08,148 --> 00:13:09,668 Speaker 9: defensive rookies of the year. 326 00:13:09,748 --> 00:13:11,828 Speaker 7: You've got an incredibly talented team. 327 00:13:12,108 --> 00:13:14,348 Speaker 9: Have you ever had this much excitement heading into the 328 00:13:14,348 --> 00:13:15,428 Speaker 9: season involving one. 329 00:13:15,388 --> 00:13:16,228 Speaker 7: Of your teams? 330 00:13:16,548 --> 00:13:16,788 Speaker 8: No. 331 00:13:16,988 --> 00:13:19,908 Speaker 10: I mean in Minnesota obviously, like justin Jefferson, we had 332 00:13:19,948 --> 00:13:21,348 Speaker 10: all the hype behind there being, you know, such a 333 00:13:21,348 --> 00:13:24,468 Speaker 10: special player. But I don't think we've had so many, 334 00:13:24,628 --> 00:13:27,428 Speaker 10: you know, big storylines. And then obviously being in New York, 335 00:13:27,468 --> 00:13:29,628 Speaker 10: like you come here and everybody's how the media is different, 336 00:13:29,628 --> 00:13:31,308 Speaker 10: and you're like, yeah, we'll see it can't be that bad, 337 00:13:31,588 --> 00:13:34,148 Speaker 10: and then you get here it's a lot different.

What's 505 00:19:32,108 --> 00:19:34,508 Speaker 6: the mindset right now as your team in the division 506 00:19:34,508 --> 00:19:36,508 Speaker 6: and if there is somebody that you guys are looking 507 00:19:36,548 --> 00:19:38,628 Speaker 6: at within that division, who is that opponent? 508 00:19:39,188 --> 00:19:40,268 Speaker 11: We're just super excited. 509 00:19:40,308 --> 00:19:40,468 Speaker 8: Man. 510 00:19:40,508 --> 00:19:42,908 Speaker 12: We got a really good team, a lot of great veterans. 511 00:19:43,388 --> 00:19:45,868 Speaker 12: We had a really good defense last year in my 512 00:19:45,988 --> 00:19:48,988 Speaker 12: first year. But we know we have It's always gonna 513 00:19:48,988 --> 00:19:50,828 Speaker 12: be tough upon us in an NFL, but we just 514 00:19:50,828 --> 00:19:53,908 Speaker 12: got to focus on ourselves and be able to maximize ourselves. 515 00:19:53,948 --> 00:19:55,948 Speaker 12: I feel like if we do that, we're going to 516 00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:58,388 Speaker 12: be a really good football team. So that's what we're 517 00:19:58,428 --> 00:19:59,308 Speaker 12: focused on right now. 518 00:19:59,468 --> 00:20:02,108 Speaker 5: Chris, you got your very own football camp coming up 519 00:20:02,148 --> 00:20:05,348 Speaker 5: this Friday in San Marcos, California at San Diego.

We've got more GMFB 544 00:20:56,948 --> 00:20:57,828 Speaker 4: coming up after. 545 00:20:57,628 --> 00:21:12,788 Speaker 2: This Good Morning Football. 546 00:21:13,788 --> 00:21:17,428 Speaker 4: The Cowboys exited the playoffs on a play that to 547 00:21:17,828 --> 00:21:21,028 Speaker 4: this day many are still questioning. The way things ended 548 00:21:21,108 --> 00:21:24,308 Speaker 4: didn't seem to phase Calgary iCal caller. 549 00:21:24,428 --> 00:21:26,548 Speaker 3: Zach Prescott a boyfriend. 550 00:21:26,588 --> 00:21:29,428 Speaker 4: When he was asked about the expectations for America's team 551 00:21:29,508 --> 00:21:30,948 Speaker 4: heading into this season. 552 00:21:32,948 --> 00:21:34,828 Speaker 13: Team goal is to win a super Bowl or not, 553 00:21:34,908 --> 00:21:37,028 Speaker 13: and it's truly a bust if we don't. And not 554 00:21:37,108 --> 00:21:39,708 Speaker 13: that that's okay, but that's what our standards have to 555 00:21:39,708 --> 00:21:41,428 Speaker 13: be for us to be able to thrive and to 556 00:21:41,468 --> 00:21:44,628 Speaker 13: get better in this atmosphere and in this world and 557 00:21:44,668 --> 00:21:46,868 Speaker 13: being under the Dallas Cowboys umbrella. I guess you could 558 00:21:46,868 --> 00:21:48,428 Speaker 13: say is that you have to accept that, you have 559 00:21:48,468 --> 00:21:51,308 Speaker 13: to accept those challenges. I've always said, with great expectations 560 00:21:51,308 --> 00:21:53,388 Speaker 13: come greater results. So bring them on and we're going 561 00:21:53,428 --> 00:21:54,228 Speaker 13: to try to answer that. 562 00:21:54,788 --> 00:21:57,188 Speaker 4: Dak clearly has the bar for the Cowboys set hi 563 00:21:57,268 --> 00:21:57,748 Speaker 4: this season. 564 00:21:57,788 --> 00:21:59,708 Speaker 3: Of course he should. It's time for a segment we 565 00:21:59,748 --> 00:22:01,468 Speaker 3: are calling the Checklist. 566 00:22:01,588 --> 00:22:03,988 Speaker 4: As the new season quickly approaches, we are going to 567 00:22:03,988 --> 00:22:06,908 Speaker 4: break down the teams in a specific division every day 568 00:22:06,948 --> 00:22:08,508 Speaker 4: this week and lay out what they need to do 569 00:22:08,748 --> 00:22:11,388 Speaker 4: to find success in twenty twenty three. Today we are 570 00:22:11,428 --> 00:22:13,988 Speaker 4: focusing on the NFCE. So Tom, we're going to start 571 00:22:13,988 --> 00:22:16,148 Speaker 4: with you and the Dallas Cowboys. What would make your 572 00:22:16,308 --> 00:22:19,268 Speaker 4: checklist for the Cowboys to have a successful twenty twenty 573 00:22:19,268 --> 00:22:19,788 Speaker 4: three season. 574 00:22:19,948 --> 00:22:21,748 Speaker 5: Well, first of all, yes, we get a lot of material, 575 00:22:21,748 --> 00:22:23,428 Speaker 5: a lot of how that final play played out. There's 576 00:22:23,428 --> 00:22:25,308 Speaker 5: not a lot of seventy yard plays in the playbook. 577 00:22:25,348 --> 00:22:27,908 Speaker 5: You're trying something different. Didn't work out, poor Zeke. That 578 00:22:28,068 --> 00:22:29,988 Speaker 5: may well be his final play as a Dallas Cowboy. 579 00:22:30,028 --> 00:22:32,108 Speaker 5: All right, let's talk about the twenty twenty three Cowboys 580 00:22:32,108 --> 00:22:34,268 Speaker 5: to be The first thing you got to accomplish is 581 00:22:34,708 --> 00:22:37,268 Speaker 5: show me keep Dak Prescott healthy. 582 00:22:37,508 --> 00:22:39,348 Speaker 7: There it is right there on the board, all right. 583 00:22:39,388 --> 00:22:43,588 Speaker 5: Twenty twenty Obviously, Dak suffers that significant ankle dislocation and 584 00:22:43,708 --> 00:22:46,308 Speaker 5: fracture takes him out. Twenty twenty one, comes back, He's 585 00:22:46,348 --> 00:22:48,348 Speaker 5: got a shoulder strain through the course of training camp. 586 00:22:48,548 --> 00:22:50,068 Speaker 5: That's something that he had to work through. He also 587 00:22:50,068 --> 00:22:52,028 Speaker 5: had a cash straight later on that season. The last 588 00:22:52,028 --> 00:22:54,068 Speaker 5: season comes out of the gate breaks his thumb. Now, 589 00:22:54,108 --> 00:22:56,588 Speaker 5: the Cowboys won a lot of games last season without 590 00:22:56,628 --> 00:22:59,388 Speaker 5: Dak Prescott in the lineup. When Dak is on, when 591 00:22:59,428 --> 00:23:01,308 Speaker 5: he is in rhythm, he's showing it can be a 592 00:23:01,388 --> 00:23:02,548 Speaker 5: very good NFL quarterback. 593 00:23:02,628 --> 00:23:04,508 Speaker 7: Obviously, has to cut back on the turn. 594 00:23:04,468 --> 00:23:07,548 Speaker 5: Over this season. Having that rhythm, having the reps, something's going. 595 00:23:07,868 --> 00:23:10,428 Speaker 5: It's going to help him out. Number two, show me 596 00:23:11,028 --> 00:23:15,068 Speaker 5: embrace Mike McCarthy's offense. Mike McCarthy taking over as the 597 00:23:15,188 --> 00:23:17,988 Speaker 5: play caller for Kellen Moore who moved on now out 598 00:23:18,028 --> 00:23:20,668 Speaker 5: there with the Chargers. McCarthy's had a lot of success 599 00:23:21,108 --> 00:23:22,748 Speaker 5: going back to his days in Green Bay. He has 600 00:23:22,748 --> 00:23:25,388 Speaker 5: worked with a lot of different quarterbacks. They're still using 601 00:23:25,468 --> 00:23:27,748 Speaker 5: Dak Prescott's language, so that helps out some with the 602 00:23:27,828 --> 00:23:31,468 Speaker 5: learning curve here, but schematically, philosophically, there are going to 603 00:23:31,468 --> 00:23:34,388 Speaker 5: be some things that are different. Help He's been running 604 00:23:34,388 --> 00:23:36,628 Speaker 5: one type of system for quite a while. This is 605 00:23:36,628 --> 00:23:39,188 Speaker 5: going to be a transition, but there's certainly optimism in 606 00:23:39,268 --> 00:23:41,628 Speaker 5: Dallas that things are going to head the right direction here. 607 00:23:41,708 --> 00:23:43,788 Speaker 5: And then the last one is really just let the 608 00:23:43,828 --> 00:23:48,108 Speaker 5: young stars shine. We talk so much about Sevon Gilmour, 609 00:23:48,148 --> 00:23:50,748 Speaker 5: Brandon Cooks, the veterans who have come into Dallas, here, 610 00:23:50,908 --> 00:23:54,628 Speaker 5: but this Cowboys team, it's about Prayvon Diggs, It's about 611 00:23:54,668 --> 00:23:57,708 Speaker 5: CD Lamb, it's about Micah Parsons. These are the guys 612 00:23:57,868 --> 00:23:59,668 Speaker 5: they're gonna pay. These are the guys that want to 613 00:23:59,668 --> 00:24:02,268 Speaker 5: build the entire program around. Yes, you're hoping some of 614 00:24:02,308 --> 00:24:04,108 Speaker 5: those older players are going to fill in some of 615 00:24:04,108 --> 00:24:07,428 Speaker 5: those gaps. When you're talking about building this program the 616 00:24:07,508 --> 00:24:09,628 Speaker 5: right way, the guys who have to continue. 617 00:24:09,308 --> 00:24:10,388 Speaker 7: To grow and be even better. 618 00:24:10,428 --> 00:24:12,588 Speaker 5: When you're talking about a guy like Micah Parsons, it's 619 00:24:12,628 --> 00:24:14,868 Speaker 5: those young guys who, let's see if they can make 620 00:24:14,868 --> 00:24:16,388 Speaker 5: a jump and that can put them over the top. 621 00:24:16,468 --> 00:24:20,348 Speaker 9: Mike, Yeah, all right, Let's go to Philadelphia and the 622 00:24:20,348 --> 00:24:22,868 Speaker 9: Philadelphia Eagles who won this division last year. Can they 623 00:24:22,908 --> 00:24:25,388 Speaker 9: be the first repeat champion since what two thousand and four? 624 00:24:25,388 --> 00:24:27,348 Speaker 7: We said we shall see if so. 625 00:24:27,628 --> 00:24:28,348 Speaker 8: Come on, come on. 626 00:24:28,348 --> 00:24:32,348 Speaker 9: It starts with number one, Number one, Jalen Hurts after 627 00:24:32,388 --> 00:24:35,148 Speaker 9: that contract extension. You know, you always hear people say, well, 628 00:24:35,188 --> 00:24:37,148 Speaker 9: once a guy gets paid, what. 629 00:24:37,068 --> 00:24:37,788 Speaker 7: Are you gonna see? 630 00:24:38,108 --> 00:24:41,548 Speaker 9: I mean, this guy almost got squashed at death in 631 00:24:41,788 --> 00:24:43,588 Speaker 9: FedEx Field one year when I was covering the game 632 00:24:43,588 --> 00:24:44,868 Speaker 9: when the railing fell over, and he. 633 00:24:44,788 --> 00:24:45,988 Speaker 7: Was just like video Mike Cool. 634 00:24:46,028 --> 00:24:47,748 Speaker 9: All right, get up, he starts posing with the fans 635 00:24:47,748 --> 00:24:49,828 Speaker 9: and everything. This is a guy that has never folded 636 00:24:49,908 --> 00:24:51,788 Speaker 9: under pressure at Also, I don't think that contract is. 637 00:24:51,708 --> 00:24:53,948 Speaker 7: Going to change anything. So same old cool. 638 00:24:54,148 --> 00:24:57,268 Speaker 9: Number one, Jalen Hurts, that's my number one on the checklist. 639 00:24:57,388 --> 00:24:57,988 Speaker 7: Number two. 640 00:24:58,548 --> 00:25:02,148 Speaker 9: There's a transition on defense from Jonathan Gannon to Shun 641 00:25:02,468 --> 00:25:08,948 Speaker 9: Decide now Philadelphia. Seawan Desaigh traditionally does not blitz very much. 642 00:25:09,348 --> 00:25:12,508 Speaker 9: That is something that was an unbelievable to me topic 643 00:25:12,548 --> 00:25:14,908 Speaker 9: of conversation last year with Jonathan Gann. 644 00:25:14,988 --> 00:25:16,908 Speaker 7: Why doesn't he blitz more? He didn't have to. 645 00:25:17,108 --> 00:25:19,108 Speaker 9: You've got a defensive line that was able to get 646 00:25:19,108 --> 00:25:22,188 Speaker 9: home and get to the quarterback. Why send extra rodgers 647 00:25:22,508 --> 00:25:23,588 Speaker 9: if you don't have to. 648 00:25:23,788 --> 00:25:25,148 Speaker 7: So I'm already seeing into the future. 649 00:25:25,188 --> 00:25:26,988 Speaker 9: I feel like Sean Desai is going to have to 650 00:25:27,028 --> 00:25:30,308 Speaker 9: prove himself to this fan base despite the fact that 651 00:25:30,308 --> 00:25:32,628 Speaker 9: he's not just blitzing six and seven people, which some 652 00:25:32,708 --> 00:25:35,468 Speaker 9: defensive coordinators in the past have done. But regardless, they've 653 00:25:35,508 --> 00:25:38,388 Speaker 9: still got a very strong defensive line. Despite the fact 654 00:25:38,388 --> 00:25:40,908 Speaker 9: that they lost Yvon Hargrave, they've added pieces of via 655 00:25:40,948 --> 00:25:43,068 Speaker 9: the draft. The last couple of years, so I think 656 00:25:43,108 --> 00:25:47,508 Speaker 9: it should be a smooth transition defensive to new defensive. 657 00:25:47,148 --> 00:25:48,268 Speaker 7: Coordinator number three. 658 00:25:48,548 --> 00:25:51,028 Speaker 9: Look, if you do strength of schedule, you can do 659 00:25:51,068 --> 00:25:52,788 Speaker 9: it based on last year's records. I don't like to 660 00:25:52,788 --> 00:25:55,108 Speaker 9: do that. I like to do it based on win projections. 661 00:25:55,148 --> 00:25:57,268 Speaker 9: If you do it that way, they're about middle of 662 00:25:57,348 --> 00:25:59,508 Speaker 9: the road. So it's not the toughest schedule in the league. 663 00:25:59,548 --> 00:26:02,828 Speaker 9: But on the back end, that's where I start to say, eh, 664 00:26:03,028 --> 00:26:04,868 Speaker 9: things could get a little bit Harry's So on the 665 00:26:04,908 --> 00:26:06,948 Speaker 9: front of the schedule, the egos. 666 00:26:06,708 --> 00:26:09,428 Speaker 7: Better win those games early on. You're seeing the Commanders. 667 00:26:09,468 --> 00:26:11,108 Speaker 7: You need to beat the Commanders. This year. You got 668 00:26:11,148 --> 00:26:12,868 Speaker 7: two games in the first half of. 669 00:26:12,868 --> 00:26:17,188 Speaker 9: The season because after the bye week at Kansas City, Buffalo, 670 00:26:17,428 --> 00:26:20,948 Speaker 9: San Francisco, at Dallas, at Seattle, you've got two games 671 00:26:20,948 --> 00:26:23,868 Speaker 9: against the Giants, who you have beaten previously the last 672 00:26:23,868 --> 00:26:25,588 Speaker 9: couple of years. But that team could be a little 673 00:26:25,588 --> 00:26:28,268 Speaker 9: bit dangerous, So better get those wins early. You start 674 00:26:28,308 --> 00:26:30,068 Speaker 9: tripping up on games you're supposed to win early in 675 00:26:30,068 --> 00:26:31,268 Speaker 9: the season, that could spell trouble. 676 00:26:31,988 --> 00:26:34,068 Speaker 6: I love the fact that I get to go right 677 00:26:34,108 --> 00:26:35,948 Speaker 6: after you and you just did the Birds. 678 00:26:35,988 --> 00:26:36,988 Speaker 7: We got the Cowboys. 679 00:26:37,348 --> 00:26:39,108 Speaker 6: As a former Giant, I get a lot of Cowboys 680 00:26:39,108 --> 00:26:39,828 Speaker 6: fans that come up through me. 681 00:26:39,788 --> 00:26:41,548 Speaker 7: And are like, this is our year, We're gonna do it. 682 00:26:41,668 --> 00:26:43,668 Speaker 6: Like I feel like it's the same conversation I have 683 00:26:43,748 --> 00:26:46,548 Speaker 6: with Cowboys fans every single year. And then Birds fans 684 00:26:46,548 --> 00:26:48,828 Speaker 6: just come up to me and just we exchange pleasantry. 685 00:26:48,948 --> 00:26:51,188 Speaker 6: So of course I took the Giants. And here's my 686 00:26:51,268 --> 00:26:53,428 Speaker 6: checklist for Giants fans, if you're watching at home, here's 687 00:26:53,468 --> 00:26:54,428 Speaker 6: what we got to do, all right. 688 00:26:54,828 --> 00:26:56,788 Speaker 7: Number one, I know all the focus right now is 689 00:26:56,828 --> 00:26:57,828 Speaker 7: on Saquon Barkley. 690 00:26:58,068 --> 00:26:58,428 Speaker 8: All right. 691 00:26:59,108 --> 00:27:02,668 Speaker 6: It's Saquon Barkley needs to sizzle in the second half 692 00:27:02,708 --> 00:27:05,348 Speaker 6: of the season. I'm not worried of camp. I don't 693 00:27:05,388 --> 00:27:06,668 Speaker 6: care when he shows up. I don't care if I 694 00:27:06,708 --> 00:27:07,908 Speaker 6: even see him in preseason. 695 00:27:08,188 --> 00:27:09,148 Speaker 7: But here's what I want. 696 00:27:09,188 --> 00:27:11,388 Speaker 6: I want the same Saquon we saw in the first 697 00:27:11,388 --> 00:27:12,628 Speaker 6: half of the season last year. 698 00:27:13,068 --> 00:27:14,388 Speaker 7: I want him in the second half. 699 00:27:14,428 --> 00:27:14,708 Speaker 8: All right. 700 00:27:15,588 --> 00:27:18,508 Speaker 6: His numbers have declined as the season went along. I 701 00:27:18,548 --> 00:27:20,548 Speaker 6: want him fresh. Look at his numbers. Here he his 702 00:27:20,548 --> 00:27:23,028 Speaker 6: first nine games of the season. Look twenty two touches, 703 00:27:23,268 --> 00:27:25,348 Speaker 6: ten less touches down the stretch. 704 00:27:25,388 --> 00:27:26,628 Speaker 7: There of the second half of the season. 705 00:27:26,908 --> 00:27:30,188 Speaker 6: But look at the rushing yards almost half in the 706 00:27:30,228 --> 00:27:33,308 Speaker 6: second half of the season. That's what the Giants need. 707 00:27:33,388 --> 00:27:35,908 Speaker 6: They need Saquon. Give me Saquon motivating. He's fired up, 708 00:27:35,948 --> 00:27:37,868 Speaker 6: he's working out, he's looking for that new contract. I 709 00:27:37,908 --> 00:27:40,268 Speaker 6: will always bet on a hungry dog, someone who's looking 710 00:27:40,268 --> 00:27:43,388 Speaker 6: for that new contract. Give me Saquon sizzling down the 711 00:27:43,428 --> 00:27:46,228 Speaker 6: stretch in the season Number two. I just pushed Mike 712 00:27:46,228 --> 00:27:48,068 Speaker 6: Carrifola out of the way because that's what the Giants 713 00:27:48,068 --> 00:27:48,428 Speaker 6: need to do. 714 00:27:48,468 --> 00:27:49,508 Speaker 7: They need to block Philly. 715 00:27:49,628 --> 00:27:51,508 Speaker 6: I don't know if you've heard, but they're loading on 716 00:27:51,548 --> 00:27:52,308 Speaker 6: the defensive line. 717 00:27:52,348 --> 00:27:52,908 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. 718 00:27:52,908 --> 00:27:54,788 Speaker 6: I could be the defensive coordinator and they can still 719 00:27:54,788 --> 00:27:56,748 Speaker 6: get to the quarterback with those guys that they have 720 00:27:56,828 --> 00:27:57,188 Speaker 6: up front. 721 00:27:57,388 --> 00:27:58,588 Speaker 7: They just drafted another. 722 00:27:58,388 --> 00:28:00,948 Speaker 6: Big dog in Jalen Carter, so they've got to find 723 00:28:00,948 --> 00:28:04,148 Speaker 6: a way to block the Eagles block. The Birds block 724 00:28:04,188 --> 00:28:06,308 Speaker 6: them up front. When they played him in the regular season, 725 00:28:06,388 --> 00:28:08,948 Speaker 6: four sacks in the game. Late in the season playoff game, 726 00:28:08,988 --> 00:28:10,908 Speaker 6: they give up five sacks. Daniel Jones was running for 727 00:28:10,948 --> 00:28:13,828 Speaker 6: his life. Evan Neil needs to play better. Hasan Reddick 728 00:28:13,868 --> 00:28:15,668 Speaker 6: basically took over that game in. 729 00:28:15,628 --> 00:28:17,508 Speaker 7: The regular season, and then the third point. 730 00:28:18,068 --> 00:28:21,068 Speaker 6: All right, defensively, Wake Marndell is a genius and I 731 00:28:21,108 --> 00:28:23,828 Speaker 6: think what he did with this defense was phenomenal. The 732 00:28:23,908 --> 00:28:25,868 Speaker 6: one area that they need to improve on is interceptions. 733 00:28:25,908 --> 00:28:28,548 Speaker 6: They only had six on the entire season. They need 734 00:28:28,548 --> 00:28:30,588 Speaker 6: to create some more takeaways. They did a great job 735 00:28:30,628 --> 00:28:33,548 Speaker 6: of stripping the ball out, created a ton of force fumbles, 736 00:28:33,548 --> 00:28:37,308 Speaker 6: but Dori Jackson being healthy should help that. But this secondary, 737 00:28:37,348 --> 00:28:39,068 Speaker 6: they need to be more opportunistic. There were a lot 738 00:28:39,068 --> 00:28:41,828 Speaker 6: of dropped interceptions last year as well, so that's something 739 00:28:41,868 --> 00:28:44,628 Speaker 6: defensively they could figure out. So give me my three 740 00:28:44,748 --> 00:28:48,468 Speaker 6: real quick one two three, number two right here, block Philly. 741 00:28:48,508 --> 00:28:52,228 Speaker 6: Here's what the byproduct of better blocking, which John Michael 742 00:28:52,268 --> 00:28:54,508 Speaker 6: Smith JMS. The new center that the Giants traffic is 743 00:28:54,508 --> 00:28:56,428 Speaker 6: going to certainly help with that. The byproduct of that 744 00:28:56,948 --> 00:29:00,188 Speaker 6: is DJ four K Daniel Jones throwing for four thousand yards. 745 00:29:00,188 --> 00:29:02,348 Speaker 6: It will happen if they find a way to protect him. 746 00:29:02,428 --> 00:29:04,308 Speaker 3: Okay, here's the trouble with my checklist. 747 00:29:04,388 --> 00:29:06,868 Speaker 4: Because I got the commanders, it can only be three 748 00:29:07,268 --> 00:29:09,348 Speaker 4: three things. Because we got we've got a long list 749 00:29:09,348 --> 00:29:10,708 Speaker 4: of things that we want. 750 00:29:10,748 --> 00:29:11,548 Speaker 7: Top ten woo. 751 00:29:11,708 --> 00:29:14,868 Speaker 4: So here we go elevate the offense under Sam Howe 752 00:29:15,028 --> 00:29:15,908 Speaker 4: and Eric enemy. 753 00:29:15,908 --> 00:29:16,628 Speaker 3: Who's Sam Howe? 754 00:29:16,668 --> 00:29:19,468 Speaker 4: Well he started one game, one hundred and sixty nine yards. 755 00:29:19,508 --> 00:29:21,628 Speaker 4: He had a passing touchdown and rushing touchdown, and ron. 756 00:29:21,548 --> 00:29:22,708 Speaker 3: Ver said, this is our guy. 757 00:29:22,788 --> 00:29:24,268 Speaker 4: He's made one start. They didn't want to go out 758 00:29:24,268 --> 00:29:26,628 Speaker 4: and do anything else. Sam, How's the guy in Washington? 759 00:29:26,668 --> 00:29:27,228 Speaker 3: And then there was the. 760 00:29:27,228 --> 00:29:30,068 Speaker 4: Questions about v enemy can he run this offense? Well, 761 00:29:30,068 --> 00:29:33,068 Speaker 4: here's the thing, the positive how in the enemy? It 762 00:29:33,348 --> 00:29:35,508 Speaker 4: has to get better because this is over the last 763 00:29:35,548 --> 00:29:37,628 Speaker 4: five seasons, and look at these ranks over the last 764 00:29:37,668 --> 00:29:38,428 Speaker 4: five seasons. 765 00:29:38,268 --> 00:29:39,148 Speaker 3: It's in a business. 766 00:29:39,188 --> 00:29:42,188 Speaker 4: So you make the slightest bit of improvement and it 767 00:29:42,548 --> 00:29:46,668 Speaker 4: might feel huge in Washington. Number two, and again this 768 00:29:46,748 --> 00:29:47,988 Speaker 4: list could have been really long. 769 00:29:48,148 --> 00:29:48,708 Speaker 3: Chase Young. 770 00:29:48,788 --> 00:29:51,628 Speaker 4: They need him productive, they need him healthy, keep him 771 00:29:51,668 --> 00:29:52,388 Speaker 4: on the field. 772 00:29:52,428 --> 00:29:55,268 Speaker 3: He missed all but three games last year. Washington didn't 773 00:29:55,308 --> 00:29:56,988 Speaker 3: pick up his fifth year option, so this is a 774 00:29:57,108 --> 00:29:58,388 Speaker 3: prove it year for him. 775 00:29:58,708 --> 00:30:01,828 Speaker 4: And then number three and this is a huge one 776 00:30:01,948 --> 00:30:06,068 Speaker 4: in Washington. How about this store respect I worked in 777 00:30:06,108 --> 00:30:09,028 Speaker 4: that area a long time ago, just maybe just a 778 00:30:09,068 --> 00:30:11,908 Speaker 4: little under two decades ago, and you felt like when 779 00:30:11,948 --> 00:30:14,548 Speaker 4: you were there. Everyone talks about their glory years under 780 00:30:14,628 --> 00:30:17,668 Speaker 4: Joe Gibbs and this was a dynasty and it's been 781 00:30:17,708 --> 00:30:18,548 Speaker 4: a minute since then. 782 00:30:18,748 --> 00:30:21,308 Speaker 3: And since then, it's been difficult there. 783 00:30:21,468 --> 00:30:24,868 Speaker 4: They've changed their name, they're now changing owners. There's been 784 00:30:24,908 --> 00:30:27,348 Speaker 4: an identity crisis, they want a new stadium. 785 00:30:27,748 --> 00:30:29,308 Speaker 3: It's been a lot in Washington. 786 00:30:29,588 --> 00:30:32,348 Speaker 4: And when you look at this division, it's really tough 787 00:30:32,428 --> 00:30:34,908 Speaker 4: right now. You've got the Eagles, you've got the Giants 788 00:30:34,908 --> 00:30:38,388 Speaker 4: and the Cowboys who are all looking at postseason berths. 789 00:30:38,868 --> 00:30:41,748 Speaker 4: So maybe it's not hey, we're getting to the postseason, 790 00:30:41,868 --> 00:30:45,388 Speaker 4: but restore respect beyond the way up. And Ron Rivera 791 00:30:45,468 --> 00:30:46,948 Speaker 4: certainly has his work cut out.
