Good Morning, Hey, Hi, Hello, Welcome to 3 00:00:30,308 --> 00:00:33,268 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football, presented by Progressive Insurance. We are live. 4 00:00:33,308 --> 00:00:35,588 Speaker 1: You're in New York City. It is Tuesday, August twenty three. 5 00:00:35,868 --> 00:00:39,108 Speaker 1: I'm Jamie Hurdolf. That's Kyle Brandt, that's Super Bowl Champions whim. 6 00:00:39,108 --> 00:00:41,828 Speaker 1: I left Jason mccordy, And just like Tom Brady, who 7 00:00:41,908 --> 00:00:45,148 Speaker 1: is back. Peter Schrager returns to us after on Monday off. Yeah, 8 00:00:45,268 --> 00:00:48,028 Speaker 1: let me let me remove the mass singer and I 9 00:00:50,228 --> 00:00:52,148 Speaker 1: was taking a little three day trip. Let's just say 10 00:00:52,268 --> 00:00:54,668 Speaker 1: there might have been some Debbie Harry song. Let go 11 00:00:55,148 --> 00:00:58,508 Speaker 1: a sound change in LA but no, no spoilers yet. 12 00:00:59,108 --> 00:01:03,028 Speaker 1: You take off your giant elephant masks, Like what Peter? 13 00:01:05,508 --> 00:01:09,748 Speaker 1: Is that Peter Schreger from football? It is so we 14 00:01:09,868 --> 00:01:12,508 Speaker 1: just ruined it for you all. Sorry, episode will never 15 00:01:12,588 --> 00:01:16,308 Speaker 1: air now, Yeah, oh dang it. Yeah, it's good point 16 00:01:17,188 --> 00:01:18,788 Speaker 1: we got for us on the lead block the Jets 17 00:01:18,788 --> 00:01:21,428 Speaker 1: one if you care, but so much to unpack and 18 00:01:21,548 --> 00:01:23,428 Speaker 1: that one obviously know Zach Wilson, But how you gotta 19 00:01:23,468 --> 00:01:26,388 Speaker 1: say the Falcon's number one looked pretty good. Absolutely so Yeah, 20 00:01:26,388 --> 00:01:29,268 Speaker 1: it's tough to say that Falcons all short when they 21 00:01:29,348 --> 00:01:32,148 Speaker 1: put on such good performance because as preseasons, it's learning 22 00:01:32,188 --> 00:01:34,548 Speaker 1: about your team. But it's not all that news. In 23 00:01:34,588 --> 00:01:38,028 Speaker 1: the NFC South, yesterday, Tom Brady returned to Buccaneers practice 24 00:01:38,108 --> 00:01:41,508 Speaker 1: for the first time since August eleven. He was excused 25 00:01:41,548 --> 00:01:44,708 Speaker 1: for quote personal reasons. Head coach Todd Bulls shrugged off 26 00:01:44,748 --> 00:01:48,348 Speaker 1: any notion that Brady's absence was a distraction for the team. 27 00:01:48,908 --> 00:01:52,108 Speaker 1: Asked for Brady's former head coach, Bill Belichick, because he 28 00:01:52,108 --> 00:01:54,148 Speaker 1: can't talk about one without the other. He's been dealing 29 00:01:54,148 --> 00:01:56,988 Speaker 1: with the distraction for pretty much all the training camp, 30 00:01:57,228 --> 00:02:00,428 Speaker 1: being asked almost daily constantly, who was in charge of 31 00:02:00,468 --> 00:02:04,268 Speaker 1: the offense, who's calling plays, who's got the headset on? 32 00:02:04,388 --> 00:02:06,508 Speaker 1: Where is Mac Jones looking well? He was asked again 33 00:02:06,628 --> 00:02:10,308 Speaker 1: yesterday and here was his answer. Share a job to 34 00:02:10,348 --> 00:02:14,548 Speaker 1: do and our staff works well together. Again, there are 35 00:02:14,548 --> 00:02:17,948 Speaker 1: a lot of people that are involved in in all 36 00:02:17,988 --> 00:02:20,988 Speaker 1: three phases of the game. Ultimately, I'm responsible for all 37 00:02:21,028 --> 00:02:24,188 Speaker 1: of us. So do you want to ask who's in charge? 38 00:02:24,188 --> 00:02:26,428 Speaker 1: And it would be me because that's the final say 39 00:02:26,468 --> 00:02:29,428 Speaker 1: in every area. So that's that's the way it's been 40 00:02:29,508 --> 00:02:34,788 Speaker 1: and I don't go see that changing. He's asking for 41 00:02:34,868 --> 00:02:37,428 Speaker 1: us to talk about this being Bill Belichick or Tom Brady. 42 00:02:37,468 --> 00:02:39,948 Speaker 1: It comes with a hefty weight on your shoulders. But 43 00:02:40,468 --> 00:02:44,668 Speaker 1: all of those two guys who bears more responsibility this season, 44 00:02:45,148 --> 00:02:50,868 Speaker 1: belichicker Brady. For me, I'm going with Thomas Brady right now. 45 00:02:51,748 --> 00:02:54,788 Speaker 1: This offseason has been different New England. The off season, 46 00:02:54,948 --> 00:02:57,708 Speaker 1: coaches come, coaches go. That's what we're kind of used to. 47 00:02:57,788 --> 00:02:59,948 Speaker 1: When you're winning. There are a lot of coaches taking 48 00:03:00,148 --> 00:03:03,948 Speaker 1: opportunities moving up the chain. For Tom Brady and the Buccaneers, 49 00:03:03,988 --> 00:03:07,668 Speaker 1: this was a kind of abnormal off season. It starts 50 00:03:07,708 --> 00:03:13,268 Speaker 1: out with Tom Brady retiring, Mark pet retires, then Brady unretires, 51 00:03:13,468 --> 00:03:15,948 Speaker 1: then Bruce Arians moves on from head coach to front 52 00:03:15,988 --> 00:03:18,628 Speaker 1: office and Tom Bowles becomes a head coach. Then there's 53 00:03:18,668 --> 00:03:22,428 Speaker 1: reports that Tom Brady was supposed to join the Miami Dolphins. 54 00:03:22,668 --> 00:03:25,748 Speaker 1: Then Tom Brady decides that he's gonna have a kind 55 00:03:25,748 --> 00:03:28,668 Speaker 1: of hiatus for personal reasons. Then there's rumors that Tom 56 00:03:28,668 --> 00:03:31,748 Speaker 1: Brady was supposed to join the Raiders in two and twenty. 57 00:03:31,908 --> 00:03:34,908 Speaker 1: So this has been a different off seasons for Tom. Usually, 58 00:03:34,908 --> 00:03:37,068 Speaker 1: we don't really hear from him other than kind of 59 00:03:37,068 --> 00:03:39,988 Speaker 1: the great tweets that he puts out. He already said 60 00:03:39,988 --> 00:03:41,948 Speaker 1: that he wasn't doing the mass singer and that his 61 00:03:42,188 --> 00:03:45,268 Speaker 1: underwear for Brady Brandt will be back in store restocking 62 00:03:45,348 --> 00:03:48,028 Speaker 1: in August at some sweets. So he uses all of 63 00:03:48,028 --> 00:03:50,668 Speaker 1: these things. But this is not what we're used to. 64 00:03:50,708 --> 00:03:52,988 Speaker 1: Were used to seeing them throwing the ball, working with 65 00:03:53,068 --> 00:03:56,108 Speaker 1: the receivers, just kind of grinding it out, and this 66 00:03:56,188 --> 00:03:59,148 Speaker 1: offseason has been different. He did decide to walk away 67 00:03:59,148 --> 00:04:02,068 Speaker 1: from football at one point and wanted to fulfill whatever 68 00:04:02,348 --> 00:04:05,388 Speaker 1: family obligations. I'm sure he had already to me. So 69 00:04:05,468 --> 00:04:08,348 Speaker 1: for me, the responsibility is more on Brady to see 70 00:04:08,428 --> 00:04:11,508 Speaker 1: kind of what this season brings. Is the focus still 71 00:04:11,508 --> 00:04:13,388 Speaker 1: the saying will he be able to go out there 72 00:04:13,428 --> 00:04:16,228 Speaker 1: and continue to play at an extremely high level as 73 00:04:16,228 --> 00:04:19,108 Speaker 1: he has throughout his career. He's forty five now things 74 00:04:19,108 --> 00:04:21,828 Speaker 1: have changed year to year or so for me. This year, 75 00:04:21,908 --> 00:04:24,468 Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard to doubt Tom, but this year 76 00:04:24,628 --> 00:04:27,068 Speaker 1: more responsibility falls on him. But Bells just guy's own 77 00:04:27,068 --> 00:04:29,388 Speaker 1: set of responsibilities and problems. Sure, but I would go 78 00:04:29,428 --> 00:04:31,628 Speaker 1: with Brady sure for the same reason. I still don't 79 00:04:31,668 --> 00:04:34,668 Speaker 1: understand what that retirement was. And I still think, Okay, 80 00:04:34,668 --> 00:04:37,108 Speaker 1: so you were going to retire, but it got leaked 81 00:04:37,148 --> 00:04:39,428 Speaker 1: and the story came out and Championship Game weekend, and 82 00:04:39,428 --> 00:04:41,588 Speaker 1: then you, I think, wanted to play another year just 83 00:04:41,628 --> 00:04:44,028 Speaker 1: to do it over, which is a really strange reason. 84 00:04:44,108 --> 00:04:46,788 Speaker 1: I wonder if he, honestly part of him regrets it. 85 00:04:46,788 --> 00:04:48,948 Speaker 1: It wasn't just that Arians was not the head coach anymore. 86 00:04:48,948 --> 00:04:50,588 Speaker 1: I think Brady forced him out the door. It's a 87 00:04:50,588 --> 00:04:52,548 Speaker 1: lot of those headlines are a lot more salacious than 88 00:04:52,588 --> 00:04:56,188 Speaker 1: we thought up to an including an unexplained a trip 89 00:04:56,348 --> 00:04:58,388 Speaker 1: in the middle of a training camp, which fine if 90 00:04:58,388 --> 00:04:59,588 Speaker 1: you got something to take care and take care of, 91 00:04:59,708 --> 00:05:01,228 Speaker 1: but like you don't just point to one of your 92 00:05:01,228 --> 00:05:03,188 Speaker 1: fifty people on your social media staff and put out 93 00:05:03,228 --> 00:05:05,068 Speaker 1: some like fifthy little tweet about what you're doing. Ha 94 00:05:05,148 --> 00:05:07,628 Speaker 1: ha haa. So funny with the underwear, What really happened Tom, 95 00:05:07,628 --> 00:05:09,628 Speaker 1: We'd love to hear what really happened with the Raiders, 96 00:05:09,668 --> 00:05:12,028 Speaker 1: Jem said, squat What really happened with Dolphins? Jem said 97 00:05:11,988 --> 00:05:14,468 Speaker 1: squad And I honestly, I know we make fun of 98 00:05:14,508 --> 00:05:16,388 Speaker 1: schedule guy, I'm not going to pull up the schedule 99 00:05:17,748 --> 00:05:20,868 Speaker 1: at Dallas at the Saints where they always get killed. 100 00:05:21,148 --> 00:05:24,548 Speaker 1: Packers Chiefs like, that's the first four weeks. This team 101 00:05:24,668 --> 00:05:27,548 Speaker 1: needs a Brady put your hands on the season and 102 00:05:27,588 --> 00:05:29,988 Speaker 1: calm everybody down and come out and say I'm Brady, 103 00:05:30,068 --> 00:05:32,948 Speaker 1: They're not. Let's just chill the hell out. Because Tom 104 00:05:32,988 --> 00:05:35,508 Speaker 1: Brady had some wonky, crazy dramatic things over the years, 105 00:05:35,508 --> 00:05:37,388 Speaker 1: whish we know, but he hit this nice, smooth period. 106 00:05:37,388 --> 00:05:39,188 Speaker 1: It was supposed to be. I'm in Tampa now, I'm cool, 107 00:05:39,228 --> 00:05:40,788 Speaker 1: I'm done with New England, I win a super Bowl. 108 00:05:40,948 --> 00:05:43,828 Speaker 1: It has been a messy as hell offseason for personal reasons, 109 00:05:43,828 --> 00:05:46,068 Speaker 1: professional as reasons. He needs to come in right now, 110 00:05:46,348 --> 00:05:49,508 Speaker 1: do the let's go LFG and win an open because 111 00:05:50,028 --> 00:05:52,468 Speaker 1: there's trouble in Paradise. It feels like it just feels 112 00:05:52,628 --> 00:05:55,068 Speaker 1: messy and I don't like it. And there's some really 113 00:05:55,068 --> 00:05:56,988 Speaker 1: good teams out there that are ready to say I 114 00:05:57,028 --> 00:05:58,788 Speaker 1: think the Bucks are past their prime and so is Brady. 115 00:05:58,828 --> 00:06:00,148 Speaker 1: So you gotta come out, man. He needs to call 116 00:06:00,188 --> 00:06:02,508 Speaker 1: them these guys down. Yeah, Jays, I gotta ask you guys, 117 00:06:02,548 --> 00:06:05,028 Speaker 1: had former teammate of Brady's, because I watched the media 118 00:06:05,028 --> 00:06:07,388 Speaker 1: availability yesterday, have a lot of these Buccaneers players, and 119 00:06:07,388 --> 00:06:08,948 Speaker 1: a lot of them are like, well, they had no 120 00:06:08,988 --> 00:06:11,268 Speaker 1: idea where Brady was either or what he was up to, 121 00:06:11,388 --> 00:06:14,748 Speaker 1: especially those eleven days. Is that crossing the line to 122 00:06:14,788 --> 00:06:16,948 Speaker 1: go to the goat and be like, dude, what the heck? 123 00:06:16,988 --> 00:06:19,508 Speaker 1: Like where you can open up to us, like as 124 00:06:19,548 --> 00:06:21,908 Speaker 1: a teammate of his, and of course you were a veteran. Yeah. 125 00:06:21,948 --> 00:06:24,228 Speaker 1: Do you think some of these Buccaneers guys know what's 126 00:06:24,228 --> 00:06:27,708 Speaker 1: going on? Or I don't know. I think the thing 127 00:06:27,748 --> 00:06:30,468 Speaker 1: with Tom that's different than a lot of teammates. For me, 128 00:06:30,588 --> 00:06:33,308 Speaker 1: I retired this past offseason. I'm considered old in the 129 00:06:33,348 --> 00:06:36,028 Speaker 1: locker room. We talked about that Uncle Mac Pops. I'm 130 00:06:36,068 --> 00:06:39,668 Speaker 1: thirty five. Tom Brady is forty five. Who's walking up 131 00:06:39,708 --> 00:06:41,908 Speaker 1: to him and being able to relate to what Tom 132 00:06:41,948 --> 00:06:44,348 Speaker 1: Brady has gone through to this point? Who has that 133 00:06:44,428 --> 00:06:47,228 Speaker 1: same type of experience? So I don't think there's anybody 134 00:06:47,228 --> 00:06:48,748 Speaker 1: to walk up to him and say, hey, man, like 135 00:06:48,788 --> 00:06:50,868 Speaker 1: where you been? Like when we were in New England, 136 00:06:50,948 --> 00:06:52,788 Speaker 1: Julian Ellman would have been that guy. He just says 137 00:06:52,828 --> 00:06:54,588 Speaker 1: whatever he wants. But I don't know if there's a 138 00:06:54,588 --> 00:06:56,348 Speaker 1: guy in Tampa. But I can walk up to him 139 00:06:56,428 --> 00:06:58,348 Speaker 1: and say, hey, Tom, we've been here grinding. Hey, we 140 00:06:58,428 --> 00:07:00,228 Speaker 1: just we just want to know what's going on. I 141 00:07:00,228 --> 00:07:02,748 Speaker 1: don't know. Definitely frustrating because I think, like the locker 142 00:07:02,788 --> 00:07:05,148 Speaker 1: rooms supposed to be the great equalizer, Like I feel 143 00:07:05,148 --> 00:07:09,308 Speaker 1: like there's a reason why, like chemistry and connectivity isn't equal. 144 00:07:09,348 --> 00:07:12,228 Speaker 1: For Tom Brady, it didn't combent upon him to be like, guys, 145 00:07:12,308 --> 00:07:14,108 Speaker 1: this one, let you know, I got some things going on. 146 00:07:14,268 --> 00:07:15,628 Speaker 1: I love you, though I'm gonna be here for you 147 00:07:15,668 --> 00:07:17,708 Speaker 1: like this he said. Maybe he didn't have things going 148 00:07:17,708 --> 00:07:19,028 Speaker 1: on though maybe he just straight up was like, I 149 00:07:19,068 --> 00:07:20,388 Speaker 1: don't want to tell people that I was in Boro, 150 00:07:20,748 --> 00:07:23,108 Speaker 1: maybe a generic response. I don't think he's gonna get 151 00:07:23,108 --> 00:07:26,188 Speaker 1: into details about what was going on, because he says 152 00:07:26,188 --> 00:07:28,668 Speaker 1: it is leaked. I think there's just think the owners know, 153 00:07:29,228 --> 00:07:32,628 Speaker 1: and you know, his guy Guerrero probably knows, and a 154 00:07:32,628 --> 00:07:34,988 Speaker 1: few other people in that building. But I don't know 155 00:07:35,028 --> 00:07:36,948 Speaker 1: if we'll ever know exactly what was going on order 156 00:07:37,028 --> 00:07:39,268 Speaker 1: I know, if it is personal, if we need to know, 157 00:07:39,348 --> 00:07:41,468 Speaker 1: it's just the fact that he was gone for eleven days. 158 00:07:42,628 --> 00:07:44,308 Speaker 1: I think if the Bucks go nine and eight and 159 00:07:44,308 --> 00:07:46,348 Speaker 1: missed the playoffs, like no one's gonna be like Brady, 160 00:07:46,468 --> 00:07:48,468 Speaker 1: Brady's a fault. Look at that offseason. I think they'll 161 00:07:48,508 --> 00:07:51,308 Speaker 1: be like Bulls couldn't coach, or left which couldn't call 162 00:07:51,308 --> 00:07:54,508 Speaker 1: the plays, like this guy got injured. Their offensive line stunk. 163 00:07:54,588 --> 00:07:56,508 Speaker 1: I look at Belichick, It's like if they go nine 164 00:07:56,508 --> 00:07:58,268 Speaker 1: and eight, missed the playoffs, and mac Jones takes a 165 00:07:58,268 --> 00:08:00,868 Speaker 1: step back, it's on Belichick because he's saying, put it 166 00:08:00,908 --> 00:08:02,268 Speaker 1: on me, put it on me. And I look at 167 00:08:02,308 --> 00:08:04,588 Speaker 1: these coaches that left. You mentioned that Jayon and that. 168 00:08:04,668 --> 00:08:06,188 Speaker 1: Coaches come and coaches go. I don't know if we've 169 00:08:06,188 --> 00:08:08,588 Speaker 1: ever seen an exodus like this, though, all on the 170 00:08:08,628 --> 00:08:10,588 Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. And maybe this was an 171 00:08:10,588 --> 00:08:15,028 Speaker 1: opportunity for the Patriots to say, Okay, well let's find 172 00:08:15,068 --> 00:08:17,988 Speaker 1: some of these college whiz kids that are coming up 173 00:08:17,988 --> 00:08:20,308 Speaker 1: in their ranks. Let's go and find it. Instead, it 174 00:08:20,388 --> 00:08:22,228 Speaker 1: was like, let's go back to the well and give 175 00:08:22,308 --> 00:08:25,588 Speaker 1: Matt Patricia, who's historically been a defensive coach, an opportunity. 176 00:08:25,668 --> 00:08:28,028 Speaker 1: Let's give Joe Judge, historically a wide receivers and special 177 00:08:28,028 --> 00:08:32,668 Speaker 1: team's coach, an opportunity. If Mac Jones it's a massive 178 00:08:32,708 --> 00:08:35,028 Speaker 1: step back. Belichick just said it right there, that put 179 00:08:35,028 --> 00:08:37,428 Speaker 1: it on me. I'm the one who didn't who didn't 180 00:08:37,428 --> 00:08:39,628 Speaker 1: go for I'm the ultimate one to make the decision. 181 00:08:40,028 --> 00:08:41,908 Speaker 1: And if it does work out, we'll laugh and say, oh, 182 00:08:41,908 --> 00:08:44,868 Speaker 1: well Belichick knew all along. But that was a big 183 00:08:44,908 --> 00:08:46,908 Speaker 1: exodus for a young quarterback. And as we know, the 184 00:08:46,948 --> 00:08:48,748 Speaker 1: second year is maybe the most important year in our 185 00:08:48,868 --> 00:08:51,468 Speaker 1: NFL quarterback's career, and Mac was really good his first year. 186 00:08:51,748 --> 00:08:53,868 Speaker 1: This was to me, like hearing that on the radio yesterday, 187 00:08:53,868 --> 00:08:55,748 Speaker 1: this was such a power moved by Belichick. I think 188 00:08:55,748 --> 00:08:58,588 Speaker 1: he just is like, stop asking. It doesn't matter who's 189 00:08:58,628 --> 00:09:01,188 Speaker 1: calling plays. It's not your business, even though everybody feels 190 00:09:01,188 --> 00:09:03,348 Speaker 1: like it is their business. But so for me, the 191 00:09:03,428 --> 00:09:06,108 Speaker 1: responsibility this year and does fully lie on Bill Belichick. 192 00:09:06,148 --> 00:09:08,708 Speaker 1: It is greater than a Tom Brady. What I'm more 193 00:09:08,748 --> 00:09:11,228 Speaker 1: curious about is how far back does this power move 194 00:09:11,308 --> 00:09:14,228 Speaker 1: go for the hoodie Belichick, it just said put it 195 00:09:14,228 --> 00:09:16,268 Speaker 1: on me this season? Does this go back to Charlie 196 00:09:16,268 --> 00:09:19,148 Speaker 1: Weiss from Acredell, Like, how long has he been saying 197 00:09:19,228 --> 00:09:21,508 Speaker 1: everything has to run through me? And is he putting 198 00:09:21,508 --> 00:09:25,828 Speaker 1: that outward or is he saying is that internal as well? Like? 199 00:09:26,348 --> 00:09:28,748 Speaker 1: And how far does it. Everything have to run through 200 00:09:28,788 --> 00:09:32,908 Speaker 1: like the meal plans the dietitian. When you get everything, 201 00:09:32,908 --> 00:09:36,788 Speaker 1: every goes through him. Everything falls on you. It goes 202 00:09:36,788 --> 00:09:39,388 Speaker 1: through doesn't mean you have to say yes to what 203 00:09:39,468 --> 00:09:41,668 Speaker 1: the meal is that day. But for as long as 204 00:09:41,708 --> 00:09:44,428 Speaker 1: I was in that building, Bill is the guy, and 205 00:09:44,468 --> 00:09:47,148 Speaker 1: I think that's why they're always on the same page. 206 00:09:47,348 --> 00:09:51,108 Speaker 1: When you have some facility, some franchises where who's in charge? 207 00:09:51,188 --> 00:09:53,308 Speaker 1: Is it the GM, is it the head coach? Is 208 00:09:53,308 --> 00:09:56,188 Speaker 1: it the team president. There's so many different egos in 209 00:09:56,228 --> 00:09:58,788 Speaker 1: the building and that's like that for everybody. But in 210 00:09:58,788 --> 00:10:02,108 Speaker 1: that building, what Bill Belichick says goals, whether it's a 211 00:10:02,188 --> 00:10:05,188 Speaker 1: guy practicing, whatever the case may be. I guess, hey, Peter, 212 00:10:05,268 --> 00:10:07,148 Speaker 1: we have a plan for you. I'm giving you Monday. All. 213 00:10:07,428 --> 00:10:09,188 Speaker 1: If Bill comes in and says, not, Peter, we need 214 00:10:09,228 --> 00:10:11,868 Speaker 1: you today, you're not going You're playing. You're playing? Yeah, 215 00:10:12,148 --> 00:10:14,748 Speaker 1: O man. I mean, but it's just it's crazy. Did 216 00:10:14,748 --> 00:10:17,308 Speaker 1: it build? There's so many fascinations that I think we're 217 00:10:17,308 --> 00:10:19,748 Speaker 1: going to find out about Belichick after when he has 218 00:10:19,788 --> 00:10:22,788 Speaker 1: done coaching, whenever that may be this did this come 219 00:10:22,828 --> 00:10:24,668 Speaker 1: from day one? Who did he learn this from? It's 220 00:10:24,668 --> 00:10:27,108 Speaker 1: just like I find his whole dynamic and how he 221 00:10:27,148 --> 00:10:29,828 Speaker 1: has set up the organization is fascinating and obviously it 222 00:10:29,868 --> 00:10:36,748 Speaker 1: has worked and in Carolina, something that's been expected for 223 00:10:36,788 --> 00:10:39,628 Speaker 1: a while now is made official for all of us. 224 00:10:39,668 --> 00:10:42,628 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield name the starting quarterback for the Panthers over 225 00:10:42,708 --> 00:10:45,348 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. Baker spoke about trying to turn around a 226 00:10:45,428 --> 00:10:49,388 Speaker 1: team that's missed the playoffs the last four seasons. You know, 227 00:10:49,388 --> 00:10:52,548 Speaker 1: we're not going to put any expectations or things like 228 00:10:52,548 --> 00:10:54,108 Speaker 1: that looking in the future. We're gonna try and handle 229 00:10:54,108 --> 00:10:57,228 Speaker 1: it one week at a time. Speaking from my own experience, 230 00:10:57,228 --> 00:10:59,588 Speaker 1: I've stepped into situations where they've won one game in 231 00:10:59,588 --> 00:11:01,788 Speaker 1: two seasons prior to that, so I'm not really worried 232 00:11:01,828 --> 00:11:05,428 Speaker 1: about what's happened previously. I always trying and focus in 233 00:11:05,468 --> 00:11:07,268 Speaker 1: the moment and try and get the best out of 234 00:11:07,268 --> 00:11:09,188 Speaker 1: the guys around me, and try and push people to 235 00:11:09,228 --> 00:11:11,988 Speaker 1: be their best, because it's never about the last play. 236 00:11:12,068 --> 00:11:13,668 Speaker 1: The most important one is always the next one that 237 00:11:13,908 --> 00:11:15,468 Speaker 1: goes for the same way you think about records and 238 00:11:15,548 --> 00:11:21,188 Speaker 1: years prior between Sam Donald Cam Newton one game for 239 00:11:21,268 --> 00:11:24,748 Speaker 1: PJ Walker quarterback, not much went right for the Carolina's offense, 240 00:11:24,908 --> 00:11:27,348 Speaker 1: last season. If you take a look at these numbers, 241 00:11:27,468 --> 00:11:29,988 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's pretty brutal. And so it feels 242 00:11:29,988 --> 00:11:32,708 Speaker 1: like there's only one way for this team to go, 243 00:11:32,788 --> 00:11:35,068 Speaker 1: and that's up. Regardless of who the quarterback was. Baker 244 00:11:35,068 --> 00:11:37,788 Speaker 1: for Mayfield is officially the option that they will go with. 245 00:11:37,908 --> 00:11:43,308 Speaker 1: So well, Baker Mayfield revitalized this Panther the Panthers this year. Yes, yes, 246 00:11:43,388 --> 00:11:45,748 Speaker 1: I like Baker. I like Baker, and I'm not afraid 247 00:11:45,748 --> 00:11:47,188 Speaker 1: to say a lot of people don't. I think Baker's 248 00:11:47,228 --> 00:11:50,148 Speaker 1: really good. I really do. No one wants to hear 249 00:11:50,188 --> 00:11:51,948 Speaker 1: that he was hurt last year. It's an annoying piece 250 00:11:51,988 --> 00:11:54,548 Speaker 1: of television. It's boring, it's a cop out. I think 251 00:11:54,588 --> 00:11:57,108 Speaker 1: he was severely hurt and in pain for most of 252 00:11:57,148 --> 00:12:00,028 Speaker 1: the season. I think it major chemistry issues with O'Dell 253 00:12:00,188 --> 00:12:03,508 Speaker 1: that spiraled down into O'Dell's father and just terrible stuff. 254 00:12:03,508 --> 00:12:05,028 Speaker 1: And I think he had a faun with his head coach. 255 00:12:05,228 --> 00:12:08,588 Speaker 1: Twenty twenty, Baker Mayfield's healthy qbr the statt that sums 256 00:12:08,668 --> 00:12:10,948 Speaker 1: up everything. Here's tenth in the league. He was one 257 00:12:10,988 --> 00:12:13,748 Speaker 1: spot behind Tom Brady, he was ahead of Derek Carr. 258 00:12:13,908 --> 00:12:16,828 Speaker 1: He played really well. I think there's a reason that 259 00:12:16,868 --> 00:12:18,588 Speaker 1: they're calling this thing so quickly. I don't think there 260 00:12:18,668 --> 00:12:20,708 Speaker 1: was ever a competition between Baker and Sam Donald. I 261 00:12:20,748 --> 00:12:23,068 Speaker 1: think Baker is much better than Sam Donald. I like 262 00:12:23,188 --> 00:12:25,748 Speaker 1: this team, I really do. And I like Baker, and 263 00:12:25,788 --> 00:12:27,788 Speaker 1: I like that people don't like him, and he likes 264 00:12:27,788 --> 00:12:29,948 Speaker 1: that people don't like him. We can talk all about 265 00:12:29,988 --> 00:12:31,428 Speaker 1: it. I I always got the chip on the should and 266 00:12:31,428 --> 00:12:33,708 Speaker 1: that's great. I also think he's a really good player, 267 00:12:33,748 --> 00:12:35,108 Speaker 1: and I know that as a that is not a 268 00:12:35,148 --> 00:12:37,308 Speaker 1: popular opinion, and people love to turn on him because 269 00:12:37,348 --> 00:12:39,388 Speaker 1: he's a lightning rod. I think they're gonna surprise people. 270 00:12:39,388 --> 00:12:40,748 Speaker 1: I do. I think they're gonna have a winning season, 271 00:12:40,748 --> 00:12:41,868 Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna be a lot because of 272 00:12:41,868 --> 00:12:43,668 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. I liked this team. The formula they have 273 00:12:43,668 --> 00:12:45,788 Speaker 1: with Carolina, I think, just think about it's a lot 274 00:12:45,828 --> 00:12:48,908 Speaker 1: like with the Browns. You got an electric, talented running back, 275 00:12:48,988 --> 00:12:51,148 Speaker 1: you have a young defense, you got a really good 276 00:12:51,148 --> 00:12:52,708 Speaker 1: receiver in Dj Moore, and you got a coach who 277 00:12:52,708 --> 00:12:54,668 Speaker 1: wants to use his imagination. It might be a little desperate. 278 00:12:54,708 --> 00:12:57,548 Speaker 1: I like him. I do. I like Baker too, do 279 00:12:57,588 --> 00:13:01,108 Speaker 1: you Yeah? I like his charisma, everything he brings revitalize 280 00:13:01,348 --> 00:13:05,788 Speaker 1: the Panthers, like, let's define that. Always revitalized, like all right, 281 00:13:05,788 --> 00:13:07,988 Speaker 1: this team is going back to the super Bowl. They're 282 00:13:07,988 --> 00:13:10,468 Speaker 1: gonna be this year's Bengals, back to when Cam Newton 283 00:13:10,548 --> 00:13:12,908 Speaker 1: was leading the charge an MVP race and all that. 284 00:13:12,948 --> 00:13:15,228 Speaker 1: Are we saying revitalized, like hey, they're just gonna make 285 00:13:15,268 --> 00:13:18,188 Speaker 1: the playoffs, Always saying revitalize, like hey, they won't be 286 00:13:18,308 --> 00:13:20,388 Speaker 1: last in the NFC South. I think we're talking about 287 00:13:20,428 --> 00:13:22,268 Speaker 1: him in December now. I'm stretched. I think player in 288 00:13:22,308 --> 00:13:24,628 Speaker 1: the playoffs realization, I really do. They've been in the 289 00:13:24,668 --> 00:13:26,948 Speaker 1: playoffs since Ron Rivera was there, for sure, and I 290 00:13:26,948 --> 00:13:28,948 Speaker 1: don't know that they're going to be that good. Like 291 00:13:29,108 --> 00:13:31,108 Speaker 1: Jamie just said, those stats when we look at the 292 00:13:31,148 --> 00:13:33,828 Speaker 1: offensive siety of the ball, Yes, Baker's going to change that. 293 00:13:33,948 --> 00:13:36,828 Speaker 1: He's gonna come in. This guy fires people up around 294 00:13:36,908 --> 00:13:39,228 Speaker 1: him like you saw that in Cleveland, the way he talks, 295 00:13:39,268 --> 00:13:41,268 Speaker 1: the way he plays, an attitude in which he does 296 00:13:41,308 --> 00:13:43,148 Speaker 1: it at But I don't think this team is going 297 00:13:43,188 --> 00:13:45,468 Speaker 1: to be that much improved that we're gonna be talking 298 00:13:45,468 --> 00:13:48,268 Speaker 1: about them late in the season about making a playoff push. 299 00:13:48,388 --> 00:13:50,828 Speaker 1: I think they're competing. I mean it's the Buccaneers in 300 00:13:50,868 --> 00:13:53,668 Speaker 1: that division, and then they're competing with Atlanta in the 301 00:13:53,748 --> 00:13:56,588 Speaker 1: Saints to see kind of where everybody else just falls. 302 00:13:56,668 --> 00:13:59,108 Speaker 1: I think, like I said, Baker makes an impact, but 303 00:13:59,188 --> 00:14:01,148 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see them. Maybe don't. They don't 304 00:14:01,188 --> 00:14:03,468 Speaker 1: finish last in the NFC South this year, which is 305 00:14:03,508 --> 00:14:06,108 Speaker 1: a huge improvement. They have a young defense, but that 306 00:14:06,228 --> 00:14:09,268 Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown's defense has Miles Garrett on it. That's a 307 00:14:09,308 --> 00:14:12,908 Speaker 1: whole other level. This guy changes the entire game from 308 00:14:12,948 --> 00:14:15,628 Speaker 1: an offensive standpoint. They have to game plan around him, 309 00:14:15,668 --> 00:14:17,628 Speaker 1: and Jadaveon Clown he's on the other side as well. 310 00:14:17,668 --> 00:14:20,628 Speaker 1: So I don't I'm not given this Carolina defense that 311 00:14:20,828 --> 00:14:26,468 Speaker 1: same label that Cleveland had. I would say Banker's important 312 00:14:26,508 --> 00:14:28,108 Speaker 1: and his priority one for them to get. But like 313 00:14:28,228 --> 00:14:30,948 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey asked to play, Yes, Christian McCaffrey might be 314 00:14:31,028 --> 00:14:32,548 Speaker 1: one of the best players in football even had him 315 00:14:32,548 --> 00:14:35,188 Speaker 1: been two years, we're doing to this top one hundred. 316 00:14:35,188 --> 00:14:37,708 Speaker 1: I don't even turn one person be like, where's McCaffrey 317 00:14:37,748 --> 00:14:39,988 Speaker 1: on this? Like he's been invisible, he's been a ghost. 318 00:14:40,028 --> 00:14:41,988 Speaker 1: And it's not because he's soft, it's because of real 319 00:14:42,028 --> 00:14:44,668 Speaker 1: injuries and it's it's not like he's injury prone. These 320 00:14:44,708 --> 00:14:47,548 Speaker 1: are massive injuries that's been dealing with and he's healthy 321 00:14:47,668 --> 00:14:50,028 Speaker 1: right now. And everything out of Carolina is that he 322 00:14:50,108 --> 00:14:52,708 Speaker 1: looks like the Christian McCaffrey of old. If you put 323 00:14:52,788 --> 00:14:54,468 Speaker 1: this guy who had a thousand yards rushing in a 324 00:14:54,468 --> 00:14:56,668 Speaker 1: thousand yards receiving in one season and might be the 325 00:14:56,708 --> 00:14:58,828 Speaker 1: best receiving running back in the entire league, and it 326 00:14:58,908 --> 00:15:01,308 Speaker 1: was a former top ten pick back on the field, 327 00:15:01,348 --> 00:15:04,148 Speaker 1: you're a totally different offense. And you know, Matt Rule 328 00:15:04,148 --> 00:15:05,788 Speaker 1: has been there. Now this is third year he hasn't 329 00:15:05,788 --> 00:15:09,348 Speaker 1: had McCaffrey on his team. I think McCaffrey's awesome and 330 00:15:09,388 --> 00:15:11,228 Speaker 1: I think he is going to be the reason if 331 00:15:11,228 --> 00:15:13,028 Speaker 1: they do anything this year. Baker is going to be 332 00:15:13,348 --> 00:15:16,428 Speaker 1: obviously important in the quarterback you know, is the top dog, 333 00:15:16,548 --> 00:15:19,508 Speaker 1: but if you don't have McCaffrey, it's not happening. Like 334 00:15:19,548 --> 00:15:22,108 Speaker 1: McCaffrey is that good and he is the engine for 335 00:15:22,148 --> 00:15:25,508 Speaker 1: this offense. So we're talking comeback player of the year stuff. 336 00:15:25,508 --> 00:15:28,508 Speaker 1: We're talking if they if this Panthers team is what 337 00:15:28,588 --> 00:15:32,588 Speaker 1: you're saying, maybe like McCaffrey could be. In the MPP conversation, 338 00:15:32,628 --> 00:15:35,028 Speaker 1: it's like that Tens without Henry, like it really it's 339 00:15:35,068 --> 00:15:37,908 Speaker 1: a different team, and like they built it all around him. 340 00:15:37,948 --> 00:15:40,788 Speaker 1: So I'm a huge McCaffrey fan. You guys are new 341 00:15:40,788 --> 00:15:42,708 Speaker 1: to this show. Like I was doing flips from McCaffrey 342 00:15:42,748 --> 00:15:44,908 Speaker 1: in the pre draft process. Every say he's gonna go 343 00:15:44,908 --> 00:15:46,308 Speaker 1: in the twenties, goes in the top ten. Then he 344 00:15:46,388 --> 00:15:49,268 Speaker 1: develops and delivers in those first two years. I have 345 00:15:49,468 --> 00:15:51,988 Speaker 1: missed Christian McCaffrey so much talking about him on this show. 346 00:15:51,988 --> 00:15:54,268 Speaker 1: I think if he's back, the Panthers could very easily 347 00:15:54,268 --> 00:15:56,188 Speaker 1: be back in Baker, of course, will be as much 348 00:15:56,188 --> 00:15:58,628 Speaker 1: of a role as McCaffrey. I mean, honestly, the question 349 00:15:58,708 --> 00:16:01,588 Speaker 1: really could be can Christian McCaffrey revitalis the Panthers in 350 00:16:01,708 --> 00:16:03,868 Speaker 1: terms of who is this going to fall on? Because 351 00:16:03,908 --> 00:16:07,068 Speaker 1: I agree with you, can he revitalize the offense? Baker 352 00:16:07,108 --> 00:16:10,948 Speaker 1: Mayfield be he Yeah, The numbers imply that a competent 353 00:16:11,028 --> 00:16:13,708 Speaker 1: quarterback can come in, especially the way he plays, in 354 00:16:13,788 --> 00:16:16,228 Speaker 1: his style and the kiss connection with Matt Ruling. The 355 00:16:16,348 --> 00:16:18,828 Speaker 1: two of them could create something special on the offensive 356 00:16:18,828 --> 00:16:22,228 Speaker 1: side of the ball. Baker Mayfield, he's on the younger 357 00:16:22,268 --> 00:16:24,068 Speaker 1: side of being a quarterback. He has yet to show 358 00:16:24,148 --> 00:16:27,348 Speaker 1: us that he is a quarterback that will literally galvanize 359 00:16:27,388 --> 00:16:30,388 Speaker 1: an entire team, put them on their shoulders and go 360 00:16:30,468 --> 00:16:32,668 Speaker 1: in the right direction. And by the entire team, I 361 00:16:32,668 --> 00:16:35,348 Speaker 1: mean does the defense look at his body language for 362 00:16:35,388 --> 00:16:37,748 Speaker 1: when they need help? And this is a really young defense. 363 00:16:37,988 --> 00:16:40,548 Speaker 1: You have a Derek Brown, Brian Burns, J. C. Horne 364 00:16:40,628 --> 00:16:43,068 Speaker 1: is coming back from injury. But there are certain teams, 365 00:16:43,068 --> 00:16:45,548 Speaker 1: certain quarterbacks or the whole team really does look to 366 00:16:45,588 --> 00:16:48,948 Speaker 1: that guy as their touchstone emotionally, physically throughout a game. 367 00:16:49,228 --> 00:16:51,628 Speaker 1: And can Baker Mayfield be that guy for the Panthers. 368 00:16:51,668 --> 00:16:53,908 Speaker 1: He could, he hasn't shown us that yet. So does 369 00:16:53,908 --> 00:16:56,308 Speaker 1: the whole team going to be revitalized off of his play? 370 00:16:57,268 --> 00:16:59,548 Speaker 1: There's potential there, but it's just I'm not convinced that 371 00:16:59,548 --> 00:17:01,548 Speaker 1: he is that guy or Carolina. I think the people 372 00:17:01,548 --> 00:17:03,508 Speaker 1: in the paths convince a lot of people. Can I 373 00:17:03,668 --> 00:17:06,588 Speaker 1: just say quickly, like week one, oh my god, yeah, 374 00:17:06,668 --> 00:17:09,788 Speaker 1: Panthers Browns, that that is the best game of the week. 375 00:17:09,948 --> 00:17:11,788 Speaker 1: That is one of the biggest games of Baker's life. 376 00:17:11,988 --> 00:17:15,148 Speaker 1: It's also like Cleveland, you cannot let Baker throw four 377 00:17:15,188 --> 00:17:17,508 Speaker 1: touchdowns and beat you that day because you got rid 378 00:17:17,548 --> 00:17:20,028 Speaker 1: of him to get that guy and paid that price 379 00:17:20,068 --> 00:17:22,748 Speaker 1: and we just beat us like huge steaks and drama 380 00:17:22,788 --> 00:17:25,148 Speaker 1: on that game. I like it better than Ross versus Seattle, 381 00:17:25,188 --> 00:17:27,148 Speaker 1: Like I'm all in for Week one Panthers Browns who 382 00:17:27,228 --> 00:17:29,828 Speaker 1: knew Yeah what what out? Like you just said to 383 00:17:29,868 --> 00:17:32,588 Speaker 1: people upstairs ownership, Oh my god, you don't need to 384 00:17:32,588 --> 00:17:35,428 Speaker 1: beat downstairs and earn a defense and meeting. I'm like, fellas, Yeah, 385 00:17:35,468 --> 00:17:39,708 Speaker 1: they're going to ye, yes, yes, after you have one 386 00:17:39,828 --> 00:17:42,068 Speaker 1: job this week. It is to not make us look 387 00:17:42,068 --> 00:18:07,108 Speaker 1: like we need that game now. It us too. Lamar Jackson, Jacksons. 388 00:18:14,508 --> 00:18:17,668 Speaker 1: Jackson roll up their down, pocket flatter, keep back pedal, coups, 389 00:18:17,748 --> 00:18:20,788 Speaker 1: wants sizes, attack, look, bumps to the right, fifty pups, 390 00:18:20,828 --> 00:18:25,388 Speaker 1: fires en Zo touchdown. A many more fun to watch 391 00:18:25,468 --> 00:18:33,428 Speaker 1: than Lamar Jackson. Sure, it's fun to watch. We're doing 392 00:18:33,468 --> 00:18:35,508 Speaker 1: a round of wien are we out? It's Tuesday and 393 00:18:35,588 --> 00:18:39,948 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson look great on the sidelines on Sunday night. 394 00:18:40,188 --> 00:18:44,108 Speaker 1: He has the lookdown, but he is obviously not on 395 00:18:44,148 --> 00:18:48,068 Speaker 1: the field. Um reports during the pregame that he wants 396 00:18:48,108 --> 00:18:50,788 Speaker 1: certain things as far as guaranteed contracts where the Ravens 397 00:18:50,828 --> 00:18:53,748 Speaker 1: are with them. The bottom line is this Laara has 398 00:18:53,868 --> 00:18:56,508 Speaker 1: not taking a snap. He is a former league MVP, 399 00:18:56,868 --> 00:19:00,068 Speaker 1: and he definitely has a contract situation in the ether. 400 00:19:00,228 --> 00:19:04,388 Speaker 1: So my statement is this, the longer the Lamar Jackson 401 00:19:04,548 --> 00:19:11,108 Speaker 1: contract situation lingers, the less likely a new deal seems 402 00:19:11,148 --> 00:19:14,588 Speaker 1: this summer. Are we inter react? Jason mcque I am 403 00:19:14,828 --> 00:19:18,348 Speaker 1: out on this. I believe now the more that we're 404 00:19:18,348 --> 00:19:22,308 Speaker 1: getting about Lamar wants to contract fully guaranteed, similar to 405 00:19:22,308 --> 00:19:25,228 Speaker 1: what we saw with Cleveland gave to Deshaun Watson. Feel 406 00:19:25,268 --> 00:19:27,868 Speaker 1: like these things don't get done until, let's up until 407 00:19:27,948 --> 00:19:31,068 Speaker 1: that last moment. Whenever there's a deadline, I feel like 408 00:19:31,108 --> 00:19:33,908 Speaker 1: teams don't start to cave They're gonna wait it out. 409 00:19:33,908 --> 00:19:35,948 Speaker 1: They're gonna see who's gonna fold first. And I feel 410 00:19:35,948 --> 00:19:38,188 Speaker 1: like the closer we get, the more likely we are 411 00:19:38,268 --> 00:19:41,628 Speaker 1: that the Ravens may cave in and go ahead and 412 00:19:41,668 --> 00:19:45,188 Speaker 1: give that fully guaranteed contract. Because from Lamar Jackson standpoint, 413 00:19:45,388 --> 00:19:49,108 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson got a fully guaranteed contract from Cleveland after 414 00:19:49,228 --> 00:19:53,428 Speaker 1: not playing football for what is over a year. Lamar Jackson, 415 00:19:53,468 --> 00:19:56,468 Speaker 1: like you said, is a former league MVP. If this 416 00:19:56,508 --> 00:19:59,188 Speaker 1: guy's getting a fully guaranteed contract. How are we even 417 00:19:59,268 --> 00:20:01,588 Speaker 1: questioning whether I deserve one? So I think the closer 418 00:20:01,628 --> 00:20:03,948 Speaker 1: we get, the more likely the Ravens are to cave 419 00:20:03,988 --> 00:20:06,028 Speaker 1: and give a man is money. I hear you, I 420 00:20:06,148 --> 00:20:08,908 Speaker 1: hear you on the guaranteed money, and it feels like 421 00:20:08,948 --> 00:20:11,148 Speaker 1: that is the sticking point for both parties. So with 422 00:20:11,268 --> 00:20:13,748 Speaker 1: that being said, I am way in on this. And 423 00:20:13,788 --> 00:20:16,028 Speaker 1: it's like such an in sad face because I want 424 00:20:16,068 --> 00:20:18,748 Speaker 1: this to get done for Lamar Jackson. Well, what is 425 00:20:18,788 --> 00:20:21,108 Speaker 1: happening in those meeting rooms right now? Like Lamar finished 426 00:20:21,148 --> 00:20:23,988 Speaker 1: his practice, he goes in showers, he gets dressed, puts 427 00:20:23,988 --> 00:20:26,748 Speaker 1: a suit on, perhaps because he is his own representation. No, 428 00:20:27,188 --> 00:20:29,908 Speaker 1: he walks into the room and that chain and that 429 00:20:30,028 --> 00:20:31,788 Speaker 1: chain maybe not the chain because he's trying to get 430 00:20:31,788 --> 00:20:34,628 Speaker 1: paid guaranteed money. You walk into that room and you 431 00:20:34,708 --> 00:20:37,988 Speaker 1: say I need guaranteed money. Raven say no and then 432 00:20:38,188 --> 00:20:40,828 Speaker 1: he just leaves. Like is that just the stop on 433 00:20:40,868 --> 00:20:43,428 Speaker 1: the conversation right now? And I don't see that changing? 434 00:20:43,468 --> 00:20:47,308 Speaker 1: And I do team's cave. I mean, I've played with 435 00:20:47,348 --> 00:20:50,428 Speaker 1: a guy. We got to game week and it was 436 00:20:50,588 --> 00:20:54,668 Speaker 1: maybe a Wednesday where practices rarely start. It's like I'm 437 00:20:54,708 --> 00:20:58,948 Speaker 1: only doing individual. I'm not practicing individual. I want to 438 00:20:58,948 --> 00:21:01,708 Speaker 1: stay safe until we get this deal done by Friday. 439 00:21:01,748 --> 00:21:03,908 Speaker 1: He had a deal all right. Whever that guy is, 440 00:21:03,948 --> 00:21:08,188 Speaker 1: I would say, like Elso and you Tyler Huntley look good, 441 00:21:08,268 --> 00:21:11,188 Speaker 1: looked fantastic on Sunday and does that every time he 442 00:21:11,228 --> 00:21:13,868 Speaker 1: goes in. So there is that carrot of like this 443 00:21:13,948 --> 00:21:15,668 Speaker 1: drags on. You really want to hold out like we 444 00:21:15,708 --> 00:21:19,388 Speaker 1: do have a guy? Yeah, yeah, Lamar say if I'm Lamar, 445 00:21:19,428 --> 00:21:22,748 Speaker 1: go ahead and go Look, guys, you want to go ahead, 446 00:21:22,908 --> 00:21:24,868 Speaker 1: you want to go with its new Huntley. That's fine. 447 00:21:25,028 --> 00:21:28,228 Speaker 1: He does look good though. Bears didn't cave on Roquemond, 448 00:21:28,308 --> 00:21:29,828 Speaker 1: so we can do this all day and Roque's fine 449 00:21:29,908 --> 00:21:32,068 Speaker 1: like tap un, I guess I'll just play you one. 450 00:21:32,588 --> 00:21:35,868 Speaker 1: I'm out on this mostly. I'm out because I don't 451 00:21:35,948 --> 00:21:39,908 Speaker 1: believe Lamar's self imposed deadline. I respect it, I do 452 00:21:39,988 --> 00:21:41,908 Speaker 1: like it's all ball. Once the season starts, come on. 453 00:21:42,108 --> 00:21:43,468 Speaker 1: You're telling me you start out two and on and 454 00:21:43,468 --> 00:21:45,028 Speaker 1: they say, you know what, Lamar three hundred million here 455 00:21:45,028 --> 00:21:48,068 Speaker 1: does No, we'll talk in the off season. I have 456 00:21:48,108 --> 00:21:51,108 Speaker 1: imposed a deadline, my friends, No, because I think I 457 00:21:51,188 --> 00:21:53,148 Speaker 1: don't think the deadline is a really a thing. So 458 00:21:53,308 --> 00:21:54,748 Speaker 1: I think we have plenty of time. I think we 459 00:21:54,788 --> 00:21:56,348 Speaker 1: had weeks and weeks and maybe it'll happen the middle 460 00:21:56,348 --> 00:21:57,388 Speaker 1: of the season. I'm not that word. Do you think 461 00:21:57,428 --> 00:21:59,868 Speaker 1: he plays Week one without a new cons Yeah? Yeah, 462 00:21:59,868 --> 00:22:02,148 Speaker 1: he's a different guy, a different drummer, and I think 463 00:22:02,188 --> 00:22:04,148 Speaker 1: that unless I mean I think he will unless the 464 00:22:04,228 --> 00:22:05,548 Speaker 1: race even come and give him one. But I think 465 00:22:05,548 --> 00:22:07,548 Speaker 1: if he'll come to him. Yeah. I always look back 466 00:22:07,668 --> 00:22:10,228 Speaker 1: to your point about the guaranteed money to Steve Bishotti, 467 00:22:10,228 --> 00:22:11,668 Speaker 1: the owner who doesn't do a lot of media, but 468 00:22:11,748 --> 00:22:15,188 Speaker 1: at the owner's meetings in March just being so vocal 469 00:22:15,228 --> 00:22:18,668 Speaker 1: and being quite transparent saying that the Cleveland deal really 470 00:22:18,708 --> 00:22:21,228 Speaker 1: did is that the worst thing ever? And it's time 471 00:22:21,228 --> 00:22:23,108 Speaker 1: and child. So I think it's set the entire league 472 00:22:23,228 --> 00:22:25,268 Speaker 1: a jar. Be careful, you know, the off the field 473 00:22:25,308 --> 00:22:27,068 Speaker 1: stuff with Watson when she didn't mention, but that was 474 00:22:27,108 --> 00:22:29,108 Speaker 1: a major thing hanging around at that time and still 475 00:22:29,148 --> 00:22:32,428 Speaker 1: is relevant. But the guaranteed money is unprecedented and a 476 00:22:32,508 --> 00:22:34,908 Speaker 1: guy who has not done it on the field and 477 00:22:35,028 --> 00:22:36,588 Speaker 1: has the off field stuff, so how do you tell 478 00:22:36,668 --> 00:22:39,428 Speaker 1: Lamar you're not worthy of that? But I don't know, 479 00:22:39,868 --> 00:22:41,628 Speaker 1: is that, like Josh Allen got his deal before the 480 00:22:41,788 --> 00:22:43,508 Speaker 1: Deshaun one. I wonder if it had come after, if 481 00:22:43,548 --> 00:22:45,708 Speaker 1: he would have had a deal, because people are people 482 00:22:45,788 --> 00:22:47,668 Speaker 1: roll their eyes at Mahomes's deal like that the Chiefs 483 00:22:47,668 --> 00:22:49,708 Speaker 1: got a bargain. Now, Oh no, Mahomes is way better 484 00:22:49,748 --> 00:22:52,548 Speaker 1: than Watson, you know, like it's man, wow, it's crazy. 485 00:22:52,668 --> 00:22:55,468 Speaker 1: I feel like to again, like to go not to 486 00:22:55,508 --> 00:22:57,668 Speaker 1: harp on him for having the representation, because like that's 487 00:22:57,748 --> 00:22:59,708 Speaker 1: like more power to you. You You get to heap more money. 488 00:22:59,708 --> 00:23:02,988 Speaker 1: It's great, But I think the egos in the room, 489 00:23:03,068 --> 00:23:05,268 Speaker 1: it's essentially like at this point, it feels like the 490 00:23:05,308 --> 00:23:07,868 Speaker 1: team and the owner and the Ravens are just like 491 00:23:07,948 --> 00:23:10,548 Speaker 1: locking elbows and they're like, no, this is this is 492 00:23:10,548 --> 00:23:12,708 Speaker 1: where we are standing strong. And I just I really, 493 00:23:12,788 --> 00:23:15,228 Speaker 1: in terms of where we're at in August late August, 494 00:23:15,548 --> 00:23:18,068 Speaker 1: they would look less foolish perhaps, And this is what 495 00:23:18,068 --> 00:23:21,068 Speaker 1: they're thinking for not giving him anything now but having 496 00:23:21,108 --> 00:23:23,948 Speaker 1: to franchise tag him after a great season in January. 497 00:23:24,028 --> 00:23:26,428 Speaker 1: I mean, I just I'm just trying to think about 498 00:23:26,468 --> 00:23:29,228 Speaker 1: the amount of ego here versus here, and he's just 499 00:23:29,308 --> 00:23:32,028 Speaker 1: one guy and he's going into these rooms, Jason, I 500 00:23:32,028 --> 00:23:33,988 Speaker 1: love what you said. Just he said, all right, you 501 00:23:34,028 --> 00:23:37,268 Speaker 1: want Steve Huntley, go ahead, go ahead, And we never 502 00:23:37,268 --> 00:23:39,228 Speaker 1: get that player's perspective here. We're like, well if you do, 503 00:23:39,388 --> 00:23:41,828 Speaker 1: but like because for sure, like you just said, when 504 00:23:41,828 --> 00:23:44,748 Speaker 1: you're representing yourself, whether I have an agent walking in 505 00:23:44,788 --> 00:23:46,868 Speaker 1: that room or I have myself walking in that room, 506 00:23:46,948 --> 00:23:50,748 Speaker 1: if the sticking point is a guaranteed contract, there's nothing 507 00:23:50,788 --> 00:23:53,228 Speaker 1: that's going to change. And if you are Lamar Jackson 508 00:23:53,628 --> 00:23:56,788 Speaker 1: at this point, how do you sign a deal without 509 00:23:56,828 --> 00:24:00,508 Speaker 1: it being fully guaranteed? The market has been set a 510 00:24:00,668 --> 00:24:03,788 Speaker 1: player I'm better than, not only we see it, but 511 00:24:04,068 --> 00:24:07,268 Speaker 1: I'm My accolades are far better than his. He's has 512 00:24:07,388 --> 00:24:10,068 Speaker 1: off the field issues, he hasn't played on the field, 513 00:24:10,068 --> 00:24:12,828 Speaker 1: and over a year, how do I take less? That's 514 00:24:12,868 --> 00:24:14,988 Speaker 1: hard to so then how can the team sit there 515 00:24:15,028 --> 00:24:17,308 Speaker 1: and be justified and not giving it to him? I 516 00:24:17,388 --> 00:24:19,468 Speaker 1: don't if that, and I love that argument and I 517 00:24:19,908 --> 00:24:22,868 Speaker 1: buy into it. Fully. They have to. We don't have 518 00:24:22,948 --> 00:24:25,388 Speaker 1: to pay them. You'll have to play. We can franchise 519 00:24:25,468 --> 00:24:27,068 Speaker 1: him twice and we don't have to give him two 520 00:24:27,148 --> 00:24:30,468 Speaker 1: hundred guarantee.

So I decided let's highlight one position 658 00:32:37,068 --> 00:32:40,108 Speaker 1: group and five players who have been turning heads in 659 00:32:40,188 --> 00:32:43,988 Speaker 1: training camp in preseason. In a segment we're calling rookie risers. 660 00:32:44,268 --> 00:32:47,748 Speaker 1: We're starting with wide receivers. Today, we're gonna go through 661 00:32:47,988 --> 00:32:51,268 Speaker 1: five different players who have taken the top off during 662 00:32:51,308 --> 00:32:54,708 Speaker 1: the preseason. Number five, we're going to Indianapolis for second 663 00:32:54,788 --> 00:33:00,348 Speaker 1: round pick Alec Pierce. You guys been following Alec Pierce's summer. 664 00:33:00,348 --> 00:33:02,548 Speaker 1: Alec Pierce has been one of these guys that has 665 00:33:02,588 --> 00:33:05,348 Speaker 1: been like an Instagram sensation, all the routes that he 666 00:33:05,348 --> 00:33:09,548 Speaker 1: has been putting on veteran corners and safeties in colts camp. 667 00:33:09,588 --> 00:33:11,708 Speaker 1: He was a second round pick at a Cincinnati fifty 668 00:33:11,788 --> 00:33:15,588 Speaker 1: third pick. Overall, he's not just a savvy route runner, 669 00:33:15,868 --> 00:33:19,108 Speaker 1: he's also an angry route runner, a guy who can 670 00:33:19,148 --> 00:33:22,428 Speaker 1: lower his shoulder and put a pit on somebody. All right, well, 671 00:33:22,428 --> 00:33:24,988 Speaker 1: how's he been in game action? Has been in game action? 672 00:33:25,428 --> 00:33:27,708 Speaker 1: It's been awesome. In game action, Alec Pierce has been 673 00:33:27,708 --> 00:33:29,828 Speaker 1: a sensation. And if you don't want to hear it 674 00:33:29,868 --> 00:33:32,548 Speaker 1: from me, how about a thirty eight year old guy 675 00:33:32,548 --> 00:33:34,428 Speaker 1: who's been an MVP in this league who could not 676 00:33:35,028 --> 00:33:37,508 Speaker 1: speak highly enough about his rookie wide receiver Matt Ryan, 677 00:33:37,548 --> 00:33:42,468 Speaker 1: take it away. He's a really hard worker. And you 678 00:33:42,508 --> 00:33:44,868 Speaker 1: know when you combine that with talent, you know, that's 679 00:33:45,188 --> 00:33:47,668 Speaker 1: the good players I've been around, They've all been that way. 680 00:33:48,308 --> 00:33:50,988 Speaker 1: And that's you know, more so than anything he does 681 00:33:51,028 --> 00:33:54,028 Speaker 1: on the field. It's the combination of the work ethic, 682 00:33:54,068 --> 00:33:57,668 Speaker 1: the competitiveness, you know, all of the intangible stuff combined 683 00:33:57,708 --> 00:34:01,508 Speaker 1: with the talent. And if you're going to be you know, 684 00:34:01,668 --> 00:34:04,348 Speaker 1: a great player in this league, you know which I 685 00:34:04,508 --> 00:34:06,868 Speaker 1: think he can be, You've got to have it all 686 00:34:06,948 --> 00:34:08,868 Speaker 1: in the combination of those things is what fires me 687 00:34:08,908 --> 00:34:12,748 Speaker 1: up about him. Ryan, Matt Ryan not always a man 688 00:34:12,828 --> 00:34:15,948 Speaker 1: him any words, had it for Alec Pierce. Pittman's your 689 00:34:15,948 --> 00:34:19,068 Speaker 1: one is Alec Pierce, your two. Keep an eye on him, 690 00:34:19,108 --> 00:34:21,948 Speaker 1: Alec Pierce. Remember that name when the season starts, all right, 691 00:34:22,028 --> 00:34:24,748 Speaker 1: number four. We talked about Trey Loon Burkes, how's he 692 00:34:24,828 --> 00:34:27,068 Speaker 1: going to fill in for A J. Brown? And then 693 00:34:27,148 --> 00:34:29,468 Speaker 1: Jason mccordy mentioned someone earlier in the show that I'm 694 00:34:29,508 --> 00:34:32,108 Speaker 1: gonna give some love to as my fourth player on 695 00:34:32,148 --> 00:34:36,788 Speaker 1: this list. Kyle Phillips, the fifth round pick out of UCLA. 696 00:34:36,988 --> 00:34:40,268 Speaker 1: Kyle Phillips has been a sensation for the Titans. Kyle 697 00:34:40,308 --> 00:34:43,108 Speaker 1: Phillips not only does punt returns, he also can make 698 00:34:43,148 --> 00:34:45,708 Speaker 1: some moves. It's not just us talking about Kyle Phillips. 699 00:34:45,748 --> 00:34:48,908 Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel, what do you got well, I mean he's 700 00:34:48,988 --> 00:34:50,988 Speaker 1: quick man. He goes rabbit hunt won a hammer. He 701 00:34:51,588 --> 00:34:53,788 Speaker 1: certainly just is able to get in and out of 702 00:34:53,828 --> 00:34:57,068 Speaker 1: cuts man coverage. Ryan trusts him. You know, he's able 703 00:34:57,068 --> 00:35:00,188 Speaker 1: to change speeds and put his foot in the ground 704 00:35:00,188 --> 00:35:05,788 Speaker 1: and redirect fifth round pick you see it, La, he's 705 00:35:05,828 --> 00:35:08,108 Speaker 1: gonna be returning kicks. But he might be that slot 706 00:35:08,148 --> 00:35:11,908 Speaker 1: guy or even the number two for the Titans. Kyle Phillips, 707 00:35:11,948 --> 00:35:15,348 Speaker 1: to say it again, he goes rabbit hunting with a hammer, 708 00:35:16,188 --> 00:35:19,148 Speaker 1: rolls round off the time, number three. It's a guy 709 00:35:19,188 --> 00:35:21,308 Speaker 1: we've talked about on this show. Trey Lance has been 710 00:35:21,308 --> 00:35:25,108 Speaker 1: throwing these deep passes whom they've been How about mister 711 00:35:25,228 --> 00:35:28,948 Speaker 1: Danny Gray. Danny Grey gets luc and then just separates. 712 00:35:29,268 --> 00:35:32,148 Speaker 1: That is what Danny Gray did at SMU. That is 713 00:35:32,188 --> 00:35:34,468 Speaker 1: what he's doing for forty nine ers at their camp 714 00:35:34,548 --> 00:35:38,588 Speaker 1: right now. We know that Jimmy was the most efficient underneath, 715 00:35:38,628 --> 00:35:41,108 Speaker 1: and Jimmy could do the thing where it's Hey ten yard, 716 00:35:41,308 --> 00:35:43,588 Speaker 1: Trey Lances I cannon like Trey Lance could just let 717 00:35:43,628 --> 00:35:46,668 Speaker 1: it rip. And not only is Deebo Samuel fast, not 718 00:35:46,708 --> 00:35:48,748 Speaker 1: only is Brandon I Yuk fast. They now have this guy, 719 00:35:48,908 --> 00:35:53,508 Speaker 1: Danny Gray, number eighty six. Danny Gray is here to stay. 720 00:35:53,908 --> 00:35:55,948 Speaker 1: There's a third round pick. I believe he will make 721 00:35:55,988 --> 00:35:59,348 Speaker 1: the Niners team and we'll have several highlights to go 722 00:35:59,428 --> 00:36:01,988 Speaker 1: with it. Number two has been one of our shows 723 00:36:01,988 --> 00:36:05,388 Speaker 1: preseason favorite players, and he's a second round pick. You know, 724 00:36:05,428 --> 00:36:06,988 Speaker 1: if you notice none of these players so far have 725 00:36:07,068 --> 00:36:08,788 Speaker 1: been first round guys. They are all ones that have 726 00:36:08,908 --> 00:36:11,948 Speaker 1: jumped up and leaped out of the building based on 727 00:36:11,948 --> 00:36:13,988 Speaker 1: where their draft was. And number two, I'm going with 728 00:36:13,988 --> 00:36:17,588 Speaker 1: George Pickens was the fifty second overall pick in this draft. 729 00:36:17,628 --> 00:36:20,108 Speaker 1: And Pickens, also off the line of scrimmage, has been 730 00:36:20,108 --> 00:36:22,468 Speaker 1: just swatting guys at practice. You've seen all this stuff 731 00:36:22,508 --> 00:36:28,068 Speaker 1: online again, I think we got Deonte Johnson, We've got Claypool. 732 00:36:28,748 --> 00:36:33,188 Speaker 1: Pickens your three, or is Pickens you're two or by 733 00:36:33,228 --> 00:36:36,028 Speaker 1: the seasons, Pickens you're one. He has all the athletic 734 00:36:36,028 --> 00:36:37,908 Speaker 1: ability in the world and he might be in the 735 00:36:37,988 --> 00:36:40,788 Speaker 1: right place to really Harness all that the number one 736 00:36:40,828 --> 00:36:42,868 Speaker 1: guy on this list of the rookie risers is a 737 00:36:42,868 --> 00:36:46,468 Speaker 1: guy who probably wasn't expected to make the roster when 738 00:36:46,468 --> 00:36:49,108 Speaker 1: the start of training camp again, and now I think 739 00:36:49,108 --> 00:36:52,188 Speaker 1: he's got a legitimate shot. It is Ram's wide receiver, 740 00:36:52,908 --> 00:36:58,988 Speaker 1: Lance McCutcheon. R. Let's get a resume, Force mccutcheen, Not 741 00:36:59,108 --> 00:37:03,308 Speaker 1: Andrew McCutcheon, not anyone else, Lance McCutcheon. Who do we 742 00:37:03,348 --> 00:37:07,228 Speaker 1: got and where do you come from? Undrafted twenty eight 743 00:37:07,308 --> 00:37:10,708 Speaker 1: different receivers take him before him. Came out of Montana 744 00:37:10,988 --> 00:37:14,508 Speaker 1: State where he had twelve hundred nineteen receiving yards. He 745 00:37:14,548 --> 00:37:19,508 Speaker 1: caught passes from seven different college quarterbacks at Montana State, 746 00:37:19,668 --> 00:37:21,868 Speaker 1: and it shows us have been canceled in twenty was 747 00:37:21,908 --> 00:37:24,708 Speaker 1: that he didn't have any stats in twenty twenty. Yeah, 748 00:37:24,708 --> 00:37:26,348 Speaker 1: so it's twenty twenty one is what they were basing 749 00:37:26,388 --> 00:37:27,908 Speaker 1: it off. Came out of it and now he's twenty 750 00:37:27,908 --> 00:37:32,188 Speaker 1: twenty two, ready to go Montana State. So far this season, 751 00:37:32,468 --> 00:37:35,788 Speaker 1: who has the most receiving yards in all of football? 752 00:37:36,628 --> 00:37:41,068 Speaker 1: Undrafted dude? Twenty eight guys take him before him and 753 00:37:42,068 --> 00:37:44,988 Speaker 1: pretty special time. But you want to talk about a 754 00:37:45,028 --> 00:37:47,868 Speaker 1: cool moment, take a look at Sean mcvagh and what 755 00:37:47,988 --> 00:37:51,228 Speaker 1: he did with our guy, Lance McCutchen after the game. 756 00:37:58,828 --> 00:38:02,028 Speaker 1: A lot of really good stuff. Man, give it up 757 00:38:02,108 --> 00:38:24,468 Speaker 1: rice and profession showing up more. I mean, life comes 758 00:38:24,468 --> 00:38:26,828 Speaker 1: at you fast. But think about that. This goes from 759 00:38:26,828 --> 00:38:28,788 Speaker 1: being an undrafted guy of Montana State to the Super 760 00:38:28,788 --> 00:38:31,628 Speaker 1: Bowl winning coach opening up the locker room and giving 761 00:38:31,668 --> 00:38:34,548 Speaker 1: you the game ball, Lance McCutcheon. There's no guarantee he's 762 00:38:34,548 --> 00:38:36,708 Speaker 1: gonna make the squad. They've got inner squad practice right 763 00:38:36,708 --> 00:38:38,908 Speaker 1: now with the Bengals. Let's see if he shows up 764 00:38:38,948 --> 00:38:41,788 Speaker 1: and shows out. Here are five names we know, the 765 00:38:41,788 --> 00:38:44,948 Speaker 1: first round guys. But if you're drafting fantasy football, if 766 00:38:44,988 --> 00:38:46,748 Speaker 1: you're looking for that guy to say, hey, I knew 767 00:38:46,748 --> 00:38:49,948 Speaker 1: it when Alec Pierce had an awesome camp. Kyle Phillips, 768 00:38:50,028 --> 00:38:54,028 Speaker 1: Danny Gray, George Pickens, and my sentimental favorite, the undrafted fellow, 769 00:38:54,148 --> 00:38:57,228 Speaker 1: Lance McCutcheon. Guys, there you have it. What do you 770 00:38:57,268 --> 00:39:00,948 Speaker 1: got for me? I mean, Kyle Phillips and Lance mccutcheen 771 00:39:01,268 --> 00:39:04,988 Speaker 1: those other guys. High draft picks. Second round around, when 772 00:39:04,988 --> 00:39:07,428 Speaker 1: you get drafted dot hot, you're on the team where 773 00:39:07,468 --> 00:39:10,388 Speaker 1: you slot. Your play will dictate that. But for Kyle 774 00:39:10,388 --> 00:39:12,788 Speaker 1: Phillips and mc cutcheon, like, those guys have to go 775 00:39:12,828 --> 00:39:14,988 Speaker 1: out there and earn a spot, not just making a 776 00:39:15,068 --> 00:39:17,948 Speaker 1: play in the game, but also showing up every single 777 00:39:18,108 --> 00:39:20,708 Speaker 1: day in practice. Like Kyle Phillips, if you're getting rest 778 00:39:20,708 --> 00:39:22,748 Speaker 1: with Tannehill, you're going with the ones, that doesn't mean 779 00:39:22,788 --> 00:39:25,108 Speaker 1: you're probably not going with the threes as well. Those 780 00:39:25,148 --> 00:39:27,028 Speaker 1: guys have been working their butt off. You've seen a 781 00:39:27,108 --> 00:39:28,748 Speaker 1: show up in the games for him. So I'm excited 782 00:39:28,788 --> 00:39:30,868 Speaker 1: for those two guys. I give us a bit of 783 00:39:30,948 --> 00:39:33,028 Speaker 1: a pass if let's say you didn't know what Danny 784 00:39:33,028 --> 00:39:35,148 Speaker 1: Gray George Pickins like. There was other stuff we were 785 00:39:35,188 --> 00:39:37,748 Speaker 1: talking about in terms of those teams in those camps, 786 00:39:37,868 --> 00:39:40,068 Speaker 1: but like the rams, like, there's no excuse for us 787 00:39:40,148 --> 00:39:42,828 Speaker 1: not to know who Lanth mc cutchen was. Like, that's unbelievable. 788 00:39:42,908 --> 00:39:45,628 Speaker 1: I love a straight His play is off the charts. 789 00:39:45,708 --> 00:39:48,868 Speaker 1: He's tall, he's long, looks like an excellent wide receiver. 790 00:39:48,868 --> 00:39:51,108 Speaker 1: How can you not make the team? That's time right, 791 00:39:51,148 --> 00:39:53,428 Speaker 1: It's time here. Let me get this straight. Kyle Phillips 792 00:39:53,468 --> 00:39:54,908 Speaker 1: needs to get some dinner and needs to provide for 793 00:39:54,948 --> 00:39:57,268 Speaker 1: his families. Gonna out hunting rabbit, how you're raving? None 794 00:39:57,388 --> 00:40:00,188 Speaker 1: take the rightfully takes a hammer and he goes out there. 795 00:40:00,388 --> 00:40:02,508 Speaker 1: That guy's name should just be the rabbit hunter. And 796 00:40:02,508 --> 00:40:04,788 Speaker 1: then when he scores, he should do it hammers libration. 797 00:40:04,828 --> 00:40:06,628 Speaker 1: I love that and like very well say anywhere like 798 00:40:06,668 --> 00:40:09,588 Speaker 1: that that twang, like he goes rabbit hunting with a hammer, 799 00:40:09,868 --> 00:40:12,508 Speaker 1: we probably very difficult. A quick note on Phillips too. 800 00:40:13,388 --> 00:40:17,988 Speaker 1: Remember we no longer have a J. Brown there. Robert 801 00:40:18,028 --> 00:40:20,388 Speaker 1: Woods came. But like there is an opening in that 802 00:40:20,468 --> 00:40:23,308 Speaker 1: room for someone to step up. Kyle Phillips use cla 803 00:40:23,468 --> 00:40:24,028 Speaker 1: for throwing it
