My name is Kaadams, Peter Schrager, Kyle Brand, 4 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: D'Angelo hall with us all week the northeast experiencing some 5 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: flash flooding Hurricane Ida making its way up the coast. 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: So our thoughts out to everyone here on the East 7 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 1: coast that is in the path and dealing with some 8 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: of the ramifications. But our hearts, our prayers still very 9 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: much with the state of Louisiana, with the Gulf Coast region. 10 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: And it's not just about thoughts and prayers. There are 11 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: actions you can do. Text Ida Ida to nine zero 12 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: nine automatically donates ten dollars to the Red Cross relief 13 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 1: for Hurricane Ida. People truly truly need our help all 14 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: up and down the coast, but especially there in the 15 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: Gulf Coast region. So please do your thing. We of 16 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: course thinking about everybody affected by this, wherever you may be. 17 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: Let's talk some football. Now, it's time for belief black. 18 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: Let's do it safe to say we've all like we've seen. 19 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: Let's talk about our backyard here in New York. Zach Wilson, 20 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: you know, look solid, live of running the offense and 21 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: certain points, nice highlight plays, wow plays as I like 22 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: to call them, certainly shaking off some of those negative 23 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: reports from Jets training camp. So far, so good for 24 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: the number two overall pick. Let's hear from a former quarterback. 25 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,919 Speaker 1: This is in the first time he's talked about Zach Wilson, 26 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: but Tony Romo having more praise for the rookie. I 27 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: actually think Zach Wilson with the Jets is going to 28 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: turn that franchise around. I think Zach Wilson is going 29 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: to be in discussion as one of the top three 30 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: to five quarterbacks very quickly, you know, within the next 31 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: couple of years. I think you're going to see him 32 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: rise and just I think he's unbelievable. His ceiling is 33 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: so high. It's rare for me to say someone has 34 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: the ability to get in the stratosphere of a Mahomes, 35 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: But I think this kid actually has that ability. So 36 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: when you have a quarterback like that, I think there's 37 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: no telling how good you can be. He can make 38 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: up for a lot of weaknesses. Now we should say 39 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: if Tony Romo was the first one to make these comparisons. 40 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: We heard Patrick Mahomes, we heard Aaron Rodgers. Through the 41 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 1: draft process, I D'Angelo subscribed to the I'm a long 42 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: time disciple of undersell, over deliver, don't overhype somebody. How 43 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: do you feel about Tony Romo putting Zach Wilson in 44 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: that same convo with the Mahomes like character, Yeah, okay, 45 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: I feel the same way. And Tony Romo is a 46 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: guy who's played in this league. He's played the quarterback 47 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: position at a high level, and so for him to 48 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: kind of just throw those names out, it does seem 49 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: a little bit premature. I mean, can I at least 50 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: see a real game first? You know, in the preseason, yes, 51 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson showed you some things that had you like, Okay, 52 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: this team can be really good with him at at 53 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: the quarterback position. But because of the way they run 54 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: this offense, things have to work kind of hand in hand. 55 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: The ring game has to be working for Zach Wilson 56 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: to really reach that full potential, and so to me, 57 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: it's just so many other variables, right, and then keeping 58 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: weapons around him, making sure the offensive line stays healthy. 59 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: It's not just about Zach Gilson at the quarterback position 60 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,119 Speaker 1: is so yes, I think Zach wilson ceiling is very high. 61 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: That's why he was taking where he was in the draft. 62 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: But you know, even even listening to Tony, like I 63 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: know Tony personally, he didn't sound very excited in the 64 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: midst of that conversation. So to me, I'm not I'm 65 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: not buying any of that. I'm just saying Tony Romo's 66 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: trying to have a drop the mic moment and make 67 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: a statement, make a head, which is because I'm not 68 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: so just just quite yet, which is why it's interesting 69 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: because that's not been Romo's m as an announcer, like 70 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: he's a mad man. He makes more in broadcasting than 71 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: anybody on television. He doesn't need to do anything more. 72 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: He does what he does. He talks about the games, 73 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: and he's great when he does it. He didn't need 74 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: to go this far like he hasn't done this for 75 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: other players. He's been doing it for five years since 76 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: he's been playing. He's been in the booth. He doesn't 77 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: make comparisons to Mahomes for these other rookies. And then 78 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: two weeks ago is at that Utah Golf of and 79 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: he compared him to Dan Marino, same player Zach Wilson. 80 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: So it's like, I'm baffled by this from Romo, and 81 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if he is convicted. He's got conviction, like 82 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: that is a huge thing for Tony Romo to say that. 83 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: I think I see him as Mahomes and Dan Reno, 84 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: who are two of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play 85 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: football right out of the gates. Like Marino was an 86 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: MVP a second year, Mahomes was an MVP a second year. 87 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: Marino broke the touchdown record a second year. Mahomes through 88 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: for fifty touchdowns a second year. He's saying it for 89 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson's the two preseason games. I am shocked by this, 90 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: kind of like it, like kind of like it when 91 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: someone goes down to limb. But make no mistake, Tony 92 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: Romo is not a hot take artist and has no 93 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: incentive to be a heart take artist. He's already paid 94 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: his money account. He's not trying to make a blog 95 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: headline and to get those like Instagram hits going. Romo's 96 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: being paid by CBS a handsome amount of money. He 97 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: didn't need to go out this far. Though limb, which 98 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,679 Speaker 1: is why it moves my needle and why I'm like, whoa, 99 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: that's so strange. So Kyle usually William pretty good on 100 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: these other media guys talking about well, yeah, you know 101 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: how these calls are you can't hear It's maybe he 102 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: thought they asked Hi about Russell will That's like, that's 103 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: my best theory at this point. But tis the season, 104 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: this is this is all going on. Zach Wilson is 105 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: Mahomes meet Rogers. Yesterday there was comparisons all over the 106 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: media of Mac Jones and Tom Brady, Trevor Lawrence is 107 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: Lebron and Justin Fields is not allowed to have comparisons 108 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: Trey Lance sa Falco like this is the time now, 109 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: this is the eighty three quarterback class right now, right 110 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: before we start, like, I don't know what the hell 111 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: Romo was talking about. It's very This is when you're 112 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: supposed to come in and be like, well, the thing 113 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: is they have the same marketing agia like you had 114 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: nothing like that. Nothing. All I would tell you is 115 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: that I think that the CPS network has a huge, 116 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: huge desire to have Zach Wilson to be a very 117 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: good player for the next several years. He is going 118 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: to be the prince of the AFC if they had 119 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: their way. And Romo doesn't even sent him to try 120 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: to get paid or something. But he you know, he's 121 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: a very based on Are you saying that the Tennessee 122 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: Baltimore game doesn't do as good a writings as I 123 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't know if it does or not, Peter. 124 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: All I'm saying is if Zach Wilson was on let's 125 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: say the forty nine ers or something or someone in 126 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: the NFC, I don't know. I mean, he's just said 127 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: even the top three, not even like okay, there's a 128 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: way to do this. Really exciting player. I think he's 129 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: gonna be a really good player in this league. For 130 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: he said top three quarterbacks in the league. He's never 131 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: seen him play a game based on what he checked 132 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: a few passes against the Packers or you're looking at 133 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: like Mountain West footage, like I don't know what this was? 134 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: This wild but and I like the excitement, but like, 135 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: oh my god, guys, do this a week from now 136 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: if he plays one professional game matter? Does it matter 137 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: so much more that he did it twice? Now the 138 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: first time they did it you guys didn't even want 139 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: to talk about it. Mayn't necessarily I brought it up 140 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 1: and it was like, all right, Romo, like we get it, 141 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 1: like you're in a pump everybody like we do. We 142 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: do it to all thirty two teams. There's optimism wronging league. 143 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: Is it that he doubled down and went back because 144 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: you guys are completely different on this time? Right? Ok? 145 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: Well the first one was at the golf tournament, right yeah, 146 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: all right, So those golf tournaments, they're at your outdoors, 147 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: you're you're there's an intoxication, maybe an actual intoxication for 148 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: some of them. It's not a call. It's in Utah 149 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: that golf to Yeah, it works all his fan base. 150 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: He's at the YU guys at elevation. He says to 151 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: his people, and then you'd tell like, yeah, he's gonna 152 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: be great. And then second one you're like what is happening? 153 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: And it's like this was a media call, so you 154 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: know the Jets beat referdters are on it.

Yeah, and like I 157 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: think they're probably like did I just get the quote 158 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: of the year, like on this like media call, like 159 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: you want to talk ye like week two, Zach Wilson 160 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: will play the Patriots. Yeah, like that that's a game, 161 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: that is a big game. And Danizel like they got 162 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: can throw three picks and lose by thirty points. We 163 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: have no idea and that's gonna be a very strange 164 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: take at that point, but just we can't resist. This 165 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: season is one week away and everyone just wants to 166 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: get takes and talk football, Like can we just even 167 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: ask as a show? Can we wait seven more days 168 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: to wait? The lead draft? Daniel Jeremiah was like Yara Brady, 169 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: Sarah Brady traits and Mac Jones like the way he's 170 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: in the pocket, there are Brady traits. There's a way 171 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: to couch this romo went all in, he went all on. 172 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: He called him a before long, he's going to be 173 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: a top three quarterback in the NFL. Usually hate that 174 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: he's looking, yet, yeah, I usually hate specifically he's looking. 175 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: I guess it is unreal talent. A couple of plays 176 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: from the press, feeling keeps talking about feeling. Everyone has 177 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: this feeling, no kay, but he's saying I think it's fine. 178 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: I usually hate this kind of stuff. It's like, don't 179 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: put pressure. There's a bunch of Jets fans. We live 180 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: here in New York, we're in Manhattan, and even this 181 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: morning you're like just s. But I'm okay with it. 182 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: As long as Jets fans understand that this is not 183 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: the same situation that Patrick Mahomes isn't draw the comparisons 184 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: to the talent. Do it for him too, for Aaron Rodgers, 185 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: but Zach Wilson. Just understand Jets fans. There's no tyreek Hill. There, 186 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: there's no Travis Kelsey, and there's no no offense to Salah. 187 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: There's no offensive mastermind named Andy Reid. You have Michael 188 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: Floor Salah. They're both new with their positions. The expectation 189 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 1: has to be different because the situation is different. I 190 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: think as long as like Jets fans shrikes understand that, 191 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: and they probably won't, they'll be light nine. They're excited. 192 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: Like I feel like Jets fans are so conditioned to 193 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: like hearing this about same Darnold Mark Sanchez chat Tenny 194 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: two over the years, Like I almost think they look 195 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: at like Tony you don't get it like Tony, I know, 196 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: but you don't get it. We get it. Um to 197 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: your point though, like I was big on Mahomes and 198 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: everyone thought I compared in the far and it was like, all, 199 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna lose my job. But I can't say that 200 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: you went crazy. I went crazy with Mahomes, right, And 201 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: I've made a you know, a lot of this out 202 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: of it because it worked out. You're almost right and 203 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: we're all wrong. Right's right. It's not an indictment on Wilson, 204 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: is my point? Isn't it? If the team is developing 205 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: and they like, let's not pretend this is going to 206 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: be like we're going to the AFC Championship now, it's 207 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: not the same situation that Mahomes was put in your 208 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: one year two year three when you went to the 209 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: super back to back. Sure, even if it was sure, 210 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: I can't imagine. I like if someone on that call 211 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: you were mentioning people like Richard Dish, like that's when 212 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: I wanted them to scream at Romo, all right, he's 213 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: top three? Who are you taking off? Is he better 214 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: than Rogers and Wilson and all these guys? Now, Damzelo? 215 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: Any shot that a year from now we'd play back 216 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: to segment. We're like, God, that's why Romo makes the 217 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: big bucks. We're stupid. He's right, sorry where he is, 218 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: he is top three, it is he deserves those right, 219 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: it was big bucks because I mean, we all know 220 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: he can predict the future when it comes to play calling. Right, Okay, 221 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: maybe you sign something we don't see. I don't know, 222 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: but we do see it. We're excited about because I mean, 223 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: we'll see Tony for a guy that has played the 224 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: position and understands the amount of pressure that comes. Man, 225 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: he just he just put a lot of pressure on 226 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 1: that young fellow. G MF with your thoughts, I'm trying 227 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: to take a little of that pressure off of him. 228 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: I think we all are a cheer at the breakfast 229 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,599 Speaker 1: table on Aaron Rodgers, Jamis Winston. They go head to 230 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: head week one, he could saves Packers A boy, A boy, 231 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: oh boy? What should expect from this NFC showdown? Breaking 232 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: that up next time For today's wake up call, Let's 233 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: startain Queen Bay, where Packers head coach melap were discussed 234 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: how he's veteran squad's preparing for the upcoming season, really 235 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: committed to doing whatever it takes to to be our 236 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: best this season, and we're optimistic, but we know you 237 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: have to earn it in this league that's going to 238 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: ever be given to you, and we'll get everybody's best 239 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: shot because I do think that you know, just the 240 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: success that naturally we've had the last couple of years, 241 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: and the people will be gunning for us, so um, 242 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: we got we gotta show up to work each and 243 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: every day and attack it the right way and bring 244 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: that energy, bring that effort and earn everything we get. 245 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: He's like Yashan Payton. We went to the NFC Championship game. 246 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: We've been successful the past couple of years, and that's 247 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: their matchup Week one. It is Packers, it is Saints. 248 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: One important note Hurricane Ida, of course that going on 249 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: the game will officially be played in Jacksonville instead of 250 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: New Orleans as a city recovers from Hurricane Ida. So 251 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: let's talk early expectations. This is one of my favorite 252 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: games on the docket for Week onon Kyle. A couple 253 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, we stumbled upon comparing Jamis Winston to 254 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: the Dancing Six Flags mascot guy because the style of 255 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: players just so up and down it's like a roller 256 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: coaster define uh, terrifying, but memorables. Just the style of play. 257 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: So every States game for me this year is just 258 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: gonna be like where's Jamis head at? Where is easy down? 259 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: Is he up? And just right out of the gates 260 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: we have a really unusual psychological right turney here where 261 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: they're not home and they're playing in the neutral sights 262 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 1: and there is no Superdome and there are no fans is, 263 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: there is no whistle man, or they're playing in Jacksonville. 264 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: And yet maybe for Jamis this might be a good thing. 265 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: Um it's back in Florida. There's not the pressure of 266 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: that man on the afro and the boxing gloves, Like 267 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: it's not like you this crazy raucous coliseum type appens 268 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: where maybe there's a different energy there which takes it off. 269 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: They have an emotional factor going for them. I actually 270 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: think in a weird way, I like that for Jamis 271 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: Winston the athlete. What I don't like is like you're 272 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: playing the Packers and Rodgers, Jamis, I think I need 273 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: thirty five points out of you today, Like we can't 274 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: win this game with twenty seven. You gotta give me 275 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: thirty thirty eight, maybe because Rogers is gonna be nuts. 276 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: So I don't like that at all. The jamis be like, okay, 277 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: I need forty points. I'll just start chucking it because 278 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: you start chucking it against Rogers, like he doesn't make mistakes, 279 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: he doesn't throw interceptions, like you'll lose badly. Psychological stuff 280 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: up and down here, weird setting and high offensive pressure 281 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: that Saints are gonna have to put out. I don't 282 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: love the recipe. Yeah, and these Saints players have families, 283 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: The Saints coaches have families. They're gonna be on the 284 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: road there. Some of them are in Dallas, some of 285 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,719 Speaker 1: them stay back in Louisiana, some of them are going 286 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: at Jacksonville for this game. And this is just you 287 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: feel so bad on the human level. But then when 288 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: you talk about like competitive football stuff, it's a huge disadvantage. 289 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: Like they're now a traveling band and they're going to 290 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: this city to that city, to this city. And I 291 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: don't think that boats well for the Saints who are 292 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 1: going through this huge transition year. And you don't have, 293 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: obviously Drew Brees to say, hey, guys, follow me. I've 294 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: been through this before, and I'll take you there, like 295 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: we've been down this road, or you don't have Mike 296 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: Thomas to say, hey, just put it on me. I'll 297 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: get it fast. So I feel like it's it's a 298 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: tough it's a tough job obviously human wise, it's the 299 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: biggest story. But for the Saints to have this to 300 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: happen a week before and when you're talking about a 301 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: new era of Saints football, it's just another obstacle that 302 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: they've got to get over football wise, and gosh, I 303 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: don't know if this team is ready for that just now. Yeah, 304 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: I mean everything the Saints are dealing with, and then 305 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: couple that with Aaron Rodgers is coming and coming to play, 306 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: and you best believe he's got a chip on his shoulder. 307 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: If we thought a rod had a chip on his 308 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: should the last year and wanted to prove something, I mean, 309 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: this year, you're gonna get everything he has. And you 310 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: best believe those guys that's with him, DeVante Adams, Aaron Jones, 311 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: the rest of them. That cast of guys are tenying 312 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: the tight end who's turning into an absolute stud. I mean, 313 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: that offense is rolling, and something that I think we 314 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: just forget about is how really good that defense can 315 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: be right. Joe Barry's a new defensive coordinator out there, 316 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: so I expect them to kind of go through a 317 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: little bit of growing pains just with learning that you 318 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: played in his defense. What is that? What's the difference 319 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: between that from what they have with Patton, Well, it's 320 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: a little bit more zone or into um. He's gonna 321 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: allow guys to get pressure on the quarterback. That's the 322 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: number one thing you have to pressure the quarterback. So 323 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: you talk about Jameis Winston trying to get comfortable in 324 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: the pocket when you got Preston Smith coming at you, 325 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: Zadarius Smith. Um, that great secondary I think doesn't get 326 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: enough credit. I mean, Jerry Alexander's a lockdown. They have 327 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: two safeties that I mean can can flat out playball. 328 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: I mean I wanted to put both of them hump 329 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: in my top ten in the league because they both 330 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: make just a tremendous amount of plays. And so I 331 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: mean you couple that defense with Aaron Rodgers pissed off 332 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: and coming to prove something, letting everybody know this is 333 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: my farewell tool, farewell farewell tour. It's going down absolutely 334 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: pissed off from Smiley photo in the entire world because 335 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: he knows this this is the last hurrah for him, 336 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: at least I feel that way in green Back. Yeah, 337 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: and so I feel like he wants to continue to 338 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: get that stock to rise and rise and have every 339 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: team in the National Football League trying to bid for us. 340 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: The Saints are so up against it even just listening 341 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: to it. You guy know, Michael Thomas going up against 342 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: the Packers off the road, Jameis Winston. I think I 343 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: think they like it this way, and I know that 344 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: Drew Brees is not there to be like we've been 345 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: through this. I'm the leader. I don't know that Drew 346 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: Brees was the one that was like adversity, bring it. 347 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: The world's against us, bring it. That's our head coach. 348 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: That's the tone of the show. The of the team 349 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: set through him, not Drew Brees. I don't I don't 350 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: see Drew Brees and think, and I don't know him 351 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: personally that he's like this, like yeah, he doesn't have 352 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: that like same Brady, like us versus them vibe. He 353 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: just doesn't. I think that's very much feeds into what 354 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: coach Peyton has said, even in face with all this adversity, 355 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: having to move around, move the team to Dallas. All that. 356 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: He's like, I'm a feeling this might be okay, this 357 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: might bring us together. So I was listening to what 358 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: he was saying, and it's sort of on the same 359 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: vibe that you are here. If think about just you know, 360 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: we're saying like, oh, it's not a good recipe. What 361 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: if they win? What? What statement? Biggest clearly off the 362 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: gate win of Jameis Winston's career. If he can come 363 00:16:58,360 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: off the gates and win a Week one, it says 364 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: so much about the team. It's saying, Okay, whatever degrees, transition, diversity, 365 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: we are here to contend. No Michael Thomas new problem. 366 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: If they pull out a win over Green Bay, that 367 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: just shifts everything for me in the NFC, because I 368 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: think a lot of people don't have high expectations for 369 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 1: the Saints. It's a huge question mark. It's valid. There 370 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: are so many question marks. It's crazy what it means 371 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: for them, what it means for the Gulf Coast region 372 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: right now, to get a win week one, all those 373 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: families just placed everything going on. There's families about power 374 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: slow down there in New Orleans. To get a win 375 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 1: Week one against the Packers would be amazing. It would 376 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: be an incredible story, D'Angel you you were making some 377 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: stret facial Yeah, because I'm almost like, if the win 378 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: that game, i think it's more of an indictment on 379 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: green Bay because we're expecting green Bay to be a 380 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: really good football team, and so knowing all that adversity 381 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: that we're talking about, the Saints have to go through 382 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: and play with right all the thoughts that's on their minds. 383 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: I've been in similar situation, and yes, as a player, 384 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: you always say, hey, I'm not worried about it. I'm 385 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: not worried about it, but you're always worried. You're always 386 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: thinking about what's going on at home. And so yeah, 387 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: I think it'd be a bigger indictment on green Bay. 388 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: And maybe they're not as good. Maybe you know what 389 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,959 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Aaron is gonna be, you know, pick right 390 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: back up where he left off at But what if 391 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: he doesn't. If he doesn't, what does this say about 392 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 1: this Packers football team moving forward? Picking up? Where where 393 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: kids coming from that two thousand and six season after Katrina, 394 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: you know, Sean Paynon. Then I only leaning into that, 395 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: but the community really rallied around that and it became 396 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: America's story too. Remember, they were like, let's go play 397 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 1: the Giants to be our home game. Let's go play 398 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: the Giants in New Jersey. We don't care. We'll play 399 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: you anywhere. We'll take you on. So that the next 400 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 1: season they were like, all right, we're going on Super Bowl, 401 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: Like we've been through it all and that's where you 402 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: can kind of do this. There was also another take. 403 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: I talke to an NFL head coach yesterday and I 404 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 1: was like, well, I just feel so much for the 405 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: Saints and what that organization, those family. He goes, you 406 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 1: know what, it's kind of weird because they've been practicing 407 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: in sweltering one hundred degree heat this whole summer down 408 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: there in New Orleans. And he was like, I always 409 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: felt like when they go in that Superdome it's air conditioned. 410 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: Jacksonville is going to be a one hundred interest is 411 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: a harder place to play. Saints is like, we're ready 412 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: for this, We're conditioned for this is what we practiced in. 413 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: Come on, Packers, you've been up there, like, and I 414 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: know it's hot in Wisconsin in summer, but it's hey, 415 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: let's go maybe lean into that as well. There's so 416 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: the fact psychological ways you could say it wasn't that 417 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: the deal last year too, Like so they opened against 418 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: the Bucks last year. I mean it was this big 419 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: time game that they won. And remember, Peter, you had 420 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: told us all that stuff about how Peyton was handling 421 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: COVID and they're all going to stay in a hotel. 422 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: Like they rallied around that very differently too, and then 423 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: came out and yeah, they all were sequestered in the 424 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: Lows hotel and right ones when other teams were not. Yeah, 425 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: Peyton was like, it's us against the world. Yeah, week 426 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: on a liar, Oh my god, the biggest liar of 427 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 1: all time Jacksonville one last year Week one, and then 428 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: they lost fifteen straight games. My point is always never 429 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: judge anybody in Week one. There's weird games. I still 430 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 1: think the Lines are gonna beat the Niners week one. 431 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it again, So don't trust the results 432 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: of Week one. So maybe the New Orleans with someone 433 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: like Jamis, if he gets that win, what that would 434 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,239 Speaker 1: do for him right, his confidence and stuff for us 435 00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 1: this season, Like, I think week one would really make 436 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: it's huge. That would be That would be a table 437 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: flipping win. If Rogers loses Week one after the MVP season. 438 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: Last year, Rodgers put up forty three points a week 439 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: against Minnesota. I mean he was awesome, but that would 440 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: be nice. Jack in going on in Jacksonville Mount in 441 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: New Orleans because they're dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Ida. 442 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: It is very real.

Tricks, 455 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: There are so many great names, undrafted players, international players 456 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: who are playing in the NFL Week one, we're gonna 457 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: go through the guys who made through the fifty three 458 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: the best, the best story wise after this. So with 459 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: rosters being cut down this week to fifty three guys, 460 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: there are a lot of sad stories about players who 461 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: did not make the team. There are a lot of amazing, 462 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 1: redeeming stories of players who did. I wanted to go 463 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: through five different stories of players who made the fifty 464 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: three that were not only long shots, but we're told 465 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: that they wouldn't at some point in their life. Here 466 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 1: we go. Top five stories of players making the fifty 467 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: three man roster are very direct and explanating what this 468 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: segment is. It's hard to pick me right. So many 469 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: right over I think six hundred undrafted players who made 470 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 1: final fifty three. So these are the five to the 471 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: five string. Number five. It is a seventh round pick 472 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: in his cults wide receiver Michael Strong. Now his name 473 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: is spelled straight chan like the Hall of Famer strayhand 474 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: with a seat, but it's pronounced Strong. This story is incredible. 475 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: So seventh round pick Andy of Charleston. That's a Division 476 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: two schools. You don't say a lot of Division two players. 477 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: He was one of three just drafted this entire season. 478 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: So now here's what we got here. This is a 479 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: player who is get this, six foot six, two hundred 480 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: and twenty seven pounds and at Charleston would just dominate 481 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: because of his size.

A Zoo makes the team. Azur Kamara makes 533 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: the team. The young man from the Ivory Coast who 534 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: has been chronicled on Hard Knocks this entire offseason. He 535 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 1: makes the final fifty three and they are hard on him. 536 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: On Hard Knocks. You're watching all the different coaches being 537 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 1: like come on, Azor, you're just getting screamed at for 538 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: hitting the quarterback. At one point he like, hit Dak, 539 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: don't do that in practice, and then at other points 540 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: not pursuing the right way. Well, it's from the Ivory Coast. 541 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: Ends up in Arizona when he's ten years old, having 542 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: never heard of football, never playing football. From Ivory Coast. 543 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 1: He had been separated from his mother, who got here. 544 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: She rejoins with her kids at the age of ten, 545 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 1: and then he picks up football and then goes to 546 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: the University of Kansas and starts to ball out and 547 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: is a physical specimen the Cowboys. Their defense was putrid 548 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: last year. They could have gone out and signed a 549 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: bunch of guys for big money. They could have drafted 550 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: this all defense. Zorkamaro was on the team last year 551 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: on the practice school hard University of Kansas. We don't 552 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: know much about him as a player yet, but we're 553 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: learning about him on hard Knocks. Born and raised in 554 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: the Ivory Coast, he flees the Ivory Coast during a 555 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: Civil War Moosey, United States, where his mother was already 556 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: and he reunites with his mother after years of being 557 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: a part each ten did not play any football until 558 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: he gets to high school, goes out there in Arizona 559 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: and balls out, has twenty six sacks as a senior 560 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 1: in high school, and his signed as an undrafted free 561 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 1: agent and naturally makes his way into the team. You'd 562 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 1: love to see it. I hope he has a chance 563 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: to dress in an NFL game. But he made the 564 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: final fifty three spoiler our Knox fans, I'm sorry a zoo, 565 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,199 Speaker 1: which his mom is yelling throughout the entire preseason. He 566 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: makes the squad, all right, number two as a player 567 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: who is close to our show, and he's going to 568 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: get carries, and he is going to play on special teams, 569 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: and you're gonna see him Sunday Night against the Bears 570 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: dressed and like making plays ladies and gentleman rams. Running 571 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: back Jake Funk. Yeah, Jake, don't think the funk. Jake 572 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,199 Speaker 1: Funk not only made the team, Guys, you know, I 573 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 1: talked to those coaches like he's gonna play like he's 574 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: gotta roll in the offense. I'm talking it could be 575 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 1: five carries, could be more than five special teams offense, offense. 576 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: He's going to play for them. Jake's Funk, who was 577 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: a seventh round pick out of maryl who came on 578 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: our show. And no one had ever heard of Jake 579 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: Funk on our show. I mean he had a one. 580 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: We had a huge after. This is the story. This 581 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: guy tore both acls in college twenty eighteen, tore one 582 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: ACL twenty nineteen toward the other a CL has a 583 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: big twenty twenty. But like that Maryland, no one's really 584 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: on the radar. Maybe the special teams guy comes on 585 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football. We asked him, why should a team 586 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: draft Jake Funk. Listen to this answer and tell me 587 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: if you're not ready to run through a wall for 588 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: Jake Funk. Starting with the running game, I think I'm 589 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: a guy who's a very productive runner. I'm a guy 590 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: who is a downhill one cup back that you know 591 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 1: GiB that takes what the defense gives and never you know, 592 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: gets negative yards. I don't like to dance. I like 593 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: to you know, keep the offense on track in the 594 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: run game. And then also on top of that, I 595 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 1: think you know, I'm a very versatile player. I think 596 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 1: I'm somebody that you can motion out into the slot, 597 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: become a receiving threat, be a mismatch in that game 598 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: as well as UM, you know, on special teams. I've 599 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 1: played every single special teams in my career. Maryland wrapped 600 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: up thirty tackles in over two years on the you know, 601 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 1: the coverage units, and I think that you know, when 602 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,239 Speaker 1: then itself could be a weapon. UM. And really, you know, 603 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 1: I take pride in being more than just a running back. 604 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: You know, I'm a football player at heart, UM, and 605 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: being able to just make plays all over the field, 606 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: whether that's UM, whether that's running, receiving, blocking, or covering 607 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: kicks and tackling. UM. I think you know, I do 608 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: all the basics of football very very very well, and 609 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: I think it rounds out my game and you know, 610 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: creates a very versatile player where you're gonna get more 611 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: than just a running back if you end up drafting me. 612 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: He sold himself on our show. The Rams guys loved it, 613 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: and then he loved it once he was selected by them. 614 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: He's gonna play, He's on, he's gonna make the team. 615 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: He made it. He's going to dress and he's going 616 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: to get carries in that Rams offense out of the gate. 617 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: So Jake Funk, congratulations and the number one player the 618 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: number one, best story.

I all the same for Jake Funkus Peter. 659 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: Offensive coaches hate second and eleven and they hate third 660 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: and thirteen. What he said about I'm a guy who 661 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: keeps the offense on track. That is a coordinator's dream. 662 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: They're always talking about, we gotta stand, schedule, stand schedule, 663 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: one cut runner and we know that McVay ate it up. 664 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: And that's why he is where is. There will never 665 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: be a three yard loss because he's dancing right backfield. 666 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: That is there's a value on that. There is a 667 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: Darren's Roll sized heart hole where my heart used to be. 668 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: And I need that filled by Jared Patterson. I need 669 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: him to be a thing. Not only incredible that he 670 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: made it, he's in the NFL, he's five seven, he's 671 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: got all these crazy his accomplishments are insane. But the 672 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: fact that they only kept mckissic, Antonio Gibson and Jared Patterson. 673 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: You're only three running backs on this entire Washington football 674 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: team roster. He could be a thing. He could definitely 675 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: be a thing. Ken I had an opportunity to interview 676 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: Jared Patterson, and you know the way he looked at me. 677 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: He was like, man, I grew up watching you looking 678 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: at him, like, bro, you are a stood. Yeah. And 679 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: the little background. The only reason he got in, Kim 680 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: we gave us out out to the front office. It 681 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,719 Speaker 1: was because Chase Young, right, the Chase. The Chase make 682 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: the statement the front office and say, hey, guys, y'all 683 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: need to take a look at this kid. He really 684 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: one of my high school teammates. He's a really good player. 685 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: Just bring them in to try it out. And I said, man, Chase, 686 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: you might have a future in the front office. Man, 687 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: because he found him a stood. That's awesome. Awesomes like 688 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: you threw on a block, that's cool. Top five stories 689 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: of players making the fifty three man roster Rotch you 690 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: Ragular Award, Jimme Fie, you got your headlines here? Week 691 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: one is seven days away, yeah, seven eight seven seven 692 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: a week from today as kickoff Giants head coach Joe 693 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: Judge as an interesting NFL team Montras Next, I've lost 694 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 1: to talk about some headlines. Week one is one week away. 695 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 1: We'll sell us on the West coast with the news. 696 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: Will take it away all right, thank you, Kay, and 697 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: guys and know there were a lot of people expecting 698 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: big things that a friend of the show and Vikings 699 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: tight end IRV Smith Junior, k you being one of them. 700 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: In fact, you had him as one of your top 701 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: fantasy tight ends. But last sorry, Kay, You're gonna have 702 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: to rework those rankings at least if we get a 703 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: little bit best because Smith unfortunately was placed on an 704 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: inch of reserve Wednesday after undergoing meniscus surgery that will 705 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: sideline him for four to five months. That would put 706 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: an end to his twenty twenty one season before it 707 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: even began. Minnesota trading for tight end Chris Herndon on 708 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: Tuesday to help fill the void. In Kansas City, NFL Networks, 709 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,479 Speaker 1: Tom Policero reporting safety Tyrann Matthew plays on the reserve 710 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen less after testing positive for the virus. Matthew 711 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: was poorly vaccinated, so he would need two negative tests 712 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: at least twenty four hours apart to return to the team. 713 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: Joe Judge and the Giants hoping to do something this 714 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: season the franchise hasn't done since twenty sixteen. That my 715 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 1: friends would be to make the playoffs Tech. They haven't 716 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: even had a winning season since then. Either Judge knows 717 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: fundamentally sound football is the key to turning things around. 718 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: But we talk about the time smart, tough, fundamentally sound 719 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: that ties into being smart ener, the assignment, the execution, 720 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 1: tough physically and mentally tough, be able to go out 721 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 1: there and handle diversity, and the fundamentally sound personal the 722 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,879 Speaker 1: position to have good execution every play. Every good play 723 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: starts a good fundamental so you know we're always stressing. 724 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 1: Thus three transports to make sure that we're not having turnovers, penalties, mentelaires. 725 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 1: That's obviously key component for us. It's tough enough to 726 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: win a game in the Nation Football League. If you 727 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: put yourself behind the eight ball with self inflicted wounds, 728 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: it becomes even tough. Cool Allt said they're by coach 729 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: Judge as jim In and Judge are facing some questions, 730 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: of course, the health of their running back, say Quine Barkley, 731 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: and whether Daniel Jones, their quarterback, will take that next step. 732 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: And his belief is that quote, you've got to learn 733 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: how to stop losing before you can win, So that 734 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: is a loaded statement. At one point in time, Hall 735 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 1: of Famer Bill Wolf said that champions behave like champions 736 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: before becoming champions. So I guess Joe Judge having his 737 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,320 Speaker 1: own spin and what he's looking forward to this season 738 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 1: all under the fundamentals. Hecky's into the big fundamental Tim Duncan, 739 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: But it's all about fundamentals there. That was one fundamental. 740 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: I like that Devin Singletary is stopping by the program 741 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 1: that lots to talk about. Now the target, it's on 742 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: your back. People know you guys coming. You're not the hunters, 743 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 1: You're the hunted. How does it feel as you enter 744 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: this season with all the Super Bowl hype and expectations 745 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:37,479 Speaker 1: for Buffalo, Well, you know, you know, all that's cool, 746 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: you know, I feel good, But at the end of 747 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: the day, you know, it's still work to be done. 748 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: Gotta take a date by date and really we just 749 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 1: gotta continue to focus on ourselves, but keep, you know, 750 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: better in myself stacking loose that day. That's really when 751 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: it come down to. Shrake says, you're hunted. You're hunted 752 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: by everyone but the Chiefs. Unfortunately that was the team 753 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 1: that you had to beat in the AC Championship game. 754 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 1: It was a heartbreaker. We want that win for you 755 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 1: this year? What is your perception like, what do you 756 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 1: think of the Kansas City Chiefs? Uh, we know, we 757 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 1: know they even big dogs. You know they don't went 758 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl um back to back years. But 759 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 1: to be honest, we can't really be focused on on 760 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: them right now. We gotta focus on ourselves, worry about 761 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: ourselves and um, you know, we gotta worry about them later. 762 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: But we know they even big dogs. So Devin Buffalo 763 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: is a team with a true two back tend them. 764 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: The carriers are split evenly between yourself and Zach Mose 765 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 1: and Zack Moss. How is the dynamic between you two? 766 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: How do you feel about the system you have in place? 767 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,399 Speaker 1: And we love it, you know, especially for running backs. 768 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 1: You know you could get the ball out of the 769 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,879 Speaker 1: backfield as far as catching them and we know we're 770 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: gonna run when we have to. But as far as 771 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 1: me and Zach Mulls, I mean that's my brother man. 772 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,239 Speaker 1: You know, the feed off each other's energy, they out. 773 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 1: You know, I'm making clay. You want to make a 774 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: big click, You make a big cloud. Want to make 775 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 1: a big click. With that being said, you're making big place. 776 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 1: You're only helping the team, you know, ultimately reach the 777 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: goal that we want to reach. You know, there's a 778 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: lot of brotherhoods in Western New York, including one that 779 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: we saw on a rogue golf cart or John DearS 780 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 1: suv yourself. What's your message to the Bills mafia as 781 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: we start a really really important, exciting season and they don't. 782 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 1: I don't think they understand how happy we are, you know, 783 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: to have going back in the building. You know how 784 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: much they help us when they're in the building making 785 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:43,879 Speaker 1: all that noise um And my my missage to them is, man, 786 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 1: be ready to turn up all year.

Well we look, no, they don't. I 790 00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: didn't play the Buffalo. It's odd.

Take 822 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:36,320 Speaker 1: a listen. I think the most we've talked about anything 823 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,879 Speaker 1: was actually when he's at Indianapolis. I took a draft 824 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 1: visit and we were playing horse and it was getting 825 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 1: pretty competitive, and I had a button up on and 826 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,800 Speaker 1: I had to take that off because the game was 827 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 1: getting a little too competitive, and I think that really 828 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,319 Speaker 1: stood out. So I think that might have actually played 829 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 1: a role. And while I'm here, can you tell us 830 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: who won that game of horse? Dang? Yeah he did, 831 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,240 Speaker 1: but you know, I was up and then we started 832 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,800 Speaker 1: talking ball. He's kind of distracted me. Took my shirt 833 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 1: off and it didn't help, and he just continue to 834 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: beat me. So but that's why I'm back. I'm back 835 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 1: for revenge, Back for revenge. First, it's Nick Sirianni playing 836 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: rock Peeper scissor to measure players competitiveness. Now we're hearing 837 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,479 Speaker 1: about horse games. I don't even have to ask this table, 838 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 1: how do you feel about Minshew's story and Sirianni's approach, 839 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: Kyle do I Minshew's incredible to watch. There's something he's 840 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 1: like a redneck Ryan Fitzpatrick like kind of that vibe, 841 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,840 Speaker 1: and I believe it. I think it's completely authentic. And 842 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,840 Speaker 1: then I also love Sirianni, like I you know, people, 843 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 1: what does he do next? Does he do bloody knuckles? 844 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 1: Does he do that game where you go like that, 845 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,320 Speaker 1: like that's the ultimate test of a competitor. But I 846 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,400 Speaker 1: love Gardner Minshew and we've talked about it for a 847 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: few weeks, even when he was back with Jacksonville. He 848 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 1: should go somewhere, he should play. And maybe there's this 849 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 1: motion of like he will be starting for the Eagles 850 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,360 Speaker 1: this year. I don't. Yeah, let me shoot something really interesting. 851 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 1: There's an account called WTF stats Instagram that has incredible 852 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 1: nuggets and I followed them and I like, all right, 853 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,280 Speaker 1: these are guys with three hundred yard passing and sixty 854 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,279 Speaker 1: yards in one game. Steve Young is an all time 855 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,760 Speaker 1: later with four, Michael Vick did it four times, Russell 856 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: Wilson three times, three hundred yards and sixty yards rushing 857 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts in four starts, has done it two times. 858 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,800 Speaker 1: Steve Young it took one hundred and forty three, Michael 859 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 1: Vick one fifteen, did it four. So Jalen Hurts like, 860 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,799 Speaker 1: that's an incredible company to be in. And okay, it's 861 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: two games he went off. He has that type of talent. 862 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,359 Speaker 1: So I'm kind of caught up in this whole Gardner 863 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,960 Speaker 1: Minshe thing. I think I might be wrong. I think 864 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,279 Speaker 1: the talent for Jalen Hurts really is there, and they 865 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 1: drafted to support it. And if you believe in Sirianni, 866 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 1: who the hell knows. I think I'm backing off the 867 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,320 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshu. Think it's fun to get on it. But 868 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 1: I think Jalen has the talent and we're gonna see it. 869 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think Jalen Hurts is the guy. 870 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 1: I think his talent is undeniable. I just think he 871 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:58,320 Speaker 1: needs an opportunity. I just don't like what I'm hearing 872 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 1: coming out of Philly, right. You just I'm out of 873 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 1: a situation where you got Carson Wentz as your guy 874 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 1: and then you draft a guy like Jayden Hurts, and 875 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 1: we know Jayden Hurts is a competitive guy who wants 876 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: to be on the football field, so he finds his 877 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: one on the football field. Now you fast forward and 878 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 1: now I'm hearing man, you're gonna trade for a guy 879 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 1: like goingna met you? Who? Yes, I think Garna meant 880 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: you can play in this league. I absolutely think he 881 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,279 Speaker 1: can play in this league. I don't like, I don't 882 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,719 Speaker 1: think Jayden Hurts is looking over his shoulder. But why 883 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,439 Speaker 1: would you even remotely come close to that same type 884 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 1: of scenario where you bring in a guy who's possibly 885 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna take or has the ability to take that 886 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,480 Speaker 1: guy's Spott is the guy? Well, yeah, I don't know 887 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,399 Speaker 1: if Hurts is the guy or if the previous guy, 888 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,719 Speaker 1: Wentz didn't have it up here to handle that, Yady 889 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,399 Speaker 1: Hurts does. Well, I know Hurts has it up here 890 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 1: to handle it. Didn't know Carson didn't have it here 891 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 1: to handle it. But it's just like you're just playing 892 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 1: with fire in my in my opinion, Yeah, by bringing 893 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 1: in the guy like going to met you and then 894 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,040 Speaker 1: for Garner to to go out there on a limb 895 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,239 Speaker 1: and say how this relationship? Yeah, I came here for 896 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 1: a little bit of revenge. He's letting everybody know, like, yeah, 897 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,839 Speaker 1: we got a little bit of a history. We got 898 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 1: a little bit of a history. I want all y'all 899 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:11,400 Speaker 1: to know, we got a litt bit of bit of history. 900 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:12,799 Speaker 1: So when I get out there and I get an 901 00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: opportunity to the saying, this is why, this is why 902 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,759 Speaker 1: I came here. That's what I'm reading between the lines. Yeah, 903 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,919 Speaker 1: it ain't about a game of horse. It's about a guys. 904 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 1: I think I might come in here and take this 905 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,239 Speaker 1: spot at some point. And so I just don't like 906 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,560 Speaker 1: just the Eagles organization in general going down the same path. 907 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 1: We gotta learn from you. I like it. I think 908 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: it's smart. I mean, get as many reinforcements as you 909 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:36,880 Speaker 1: can and let the best man win. Like this is 910 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 1: the football this is not. I don't know when the 911 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 1: football league became. Let's put on our kids gloves and 912 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 1: make sure that our starting quarterbacks feels good about his 913 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 1: personal situation as he's making money, and you know that 914 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,359 Speaker 1: their whole lives. Joe Hurts and Gardner Minshew have been 915 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 1: in rooms competing for that number one job, and they 916 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 1: know what it is. Gardner Minshew was the sixth quarterback 917 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 1: at Washington State, and it ends up carrying a flag 918 00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: off the bus, whearing Gene Shorts taking them into their 919 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 1: bowl game, like he knows what this is all about. 920 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 1: And I gotta say, I like Sirianni and some of 921 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,719 Speaker 1: the stories you're hearing, like the fact that Minshew would 922 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,400 Speaker 1: come in for a visit as a you know, late 923 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,160 Speaker 1: round quarterback. He's like, let's you know, let's get to 924 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: know chi, let's put some horse, let's shoot around. And 925 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 1: then it gets competed and it gets competitive. And I 926 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,360 Speaker 1: remember when Sirianni first got there, he like did a 927 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 1: whole thing about the two thousand and six Villanova Wildcats 928 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,560 Speaker 1: and was like, here's why that team was successful, Here's 929 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,759 Speaker 1: what made them tick, and here's why I like those guys. 930 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:25,800 Speaker 1: And then he talks about Kobe a lot, like I 931 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,720 Speaker 1: feel like Sirianni's a big thinker and things like horse 932 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 1: and Kobe, who's a Philly guy. And then the Villanova 933 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 1: alco J. Wright is in a lot an icon there, 934 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,919 Speaker 1: like he has a way to connect with these players 935 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:37,719 Speaker 1: on a different level than just football XS and os. 936 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 1: I think Minshi was gonna gonna succeed there, and I 937 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,399 Speaker 1: think Jalen Hurts is gonna thrive because of minshow lighting 938 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 1: a fire underneath them. I just think it's lip service. 939 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:50,359 Speaker 1: I mean we talk about playing horse and playing rock 940 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,719 Speaker 1: paper scissors during the combine Like that's not you know, 941 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 1: I've been in those combine rooms. Like you got like 942 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,399 Speaker 1: five or six minutes with a prospect if you want 943 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,040 Speaker 1: to spend your five or six minutes playing horse or 944 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:07,399 Speaker 1: playing paper rock Sliza just put the film on, huh, 945 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 1: Like I wish I'd have walked in then been coming 946 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,319 Speaker 1: out for the Drugia said, that's me to play more. 947 00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 1: You have said rock paper silish, Hey, coach, let's cut 948 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:19,479 Speaker 1: this film on the number one corner right in his drag. 949 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,279 Speaker 1: When I talked to Jalen Hurts, he told me he 950 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,520 Speaker 1: has he's like. He also said nice things about Nick Sirianni. 951 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,799 Speaker 1: They met in the draft process too. Jalen hurt said, 952 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 1: he didn't tell me that they played a game together, 953 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 1: but they had a relationship. Jalen Hurts me, that very 954 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 1: clear to me. So we'll see what happens. I don't 955 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:36,200 Speaker 1: know if it I don't know if it's a good 956 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:37,840 Speaker 1: I don't mean it can't be a good thing that 957 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 1: they brought you in.
