1 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson put on a show last night. The former 2 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: MVP passed for a franchise record four hundred forty two yards. 3 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: I think I said four into twenty two in the 4 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: first hour. I shot it in twenty yard. The Ravens 5 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: now in sole possession of the first place in the AFC. North. 6 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: Will break down his performance and what we learned about 7 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: the Ravens in their epic comeback pressures on the Kansas City. 8 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: It's all straight ahead. Welcome to Good Morning Football. Hey everyone, 9 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: we're presented by Old Trapper Beef Jerky live in New 10 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: York City on this Tuesday, October twelfth. My name is Kadams, 11 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: Peter Schrager, Kryl Brand, D'Angel hall, our friend and brother 12 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: from Good Morning Football Weekend joining us as well. We've 13 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: got to get to some highlights. Of course, we've got 14 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: lots of things about peanut butter and jelly and tacos 15 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: to talk about. Justin Herbert, who's playing the best football 16 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: now let us know at GMF. But the NFL world 17 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: is talking about one thing and one thing only, and 18 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: that's why we bring in Tom Pallisero, our insider this 19 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: morning with the news that broke late last night, Tom, 20 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: good morning to you. John Gruden resigned as the Raiders 21 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: head coach. Mister Davis accepted that resignation. How did this 22 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: all go down? And where did the Raiders go from here? Okay? 23 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: John Gordon had defended himself since Friday, when The Wall 24 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: Street Journal published an initial personal email Gruden sent when 25 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: he worked for ESPN back in twenty eleven, in which 26 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: he used a racist trope to describe NFL Players Association 27 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: Executive director Demorris Smith. Gruden said repeatedly, publicly and privately, 28 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: these were personal emails, not meant for public consumption, and 29 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: he did not have a racist bone in his body. 30 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: The NFL turned over additional emails to the Raiders, but 31 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: Gruden was allowed to coach on Sunday against the Bears. Then, 32 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,639 Speaker 1: around eight pm Eastern on Monday, The New York Times 33 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: published an additional trove of Gruden's emails to Washington former 34 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: president Bruce Allen, among others, in which Gruden used misogynistic 35 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: and homophobic language, also expressed negative feelings toward the rise 36 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: of women officials, the NFL's pushed for a gay player, 37 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: Michael Sam to be drafted, and players protesting during the 38 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: national anthem. Within the hour, Gruden had met with Raiders 39 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: owner Mark Davis as well as his staff to inform 40 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: them of the study news Gruden was resigning as the 41 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: Raiders head coach. It is important to note one of 42 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: the homophobic slurs that Gruden used in those emails was 43 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: directed at NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who growing up defended 44 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: his gay brother against such insults. Back in June, it 45 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: was Goodell who proclaimed football is gay after one of 46 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: Gruden's own players, Karl Nassef, came out and eventually became 47 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: the first out player to appear in an NFL regular 48 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: season game. For Gruden the Raiders, in a league that 49 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: has tried to recast its image as one of tolerance, 50 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: this felt like a point of no return, a swift 51 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 1: and stunning fall for John Gruden, the former Super Bowl 52 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: winning coach who came out of the broadcast booth back 53 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen to rejoin the Raiders, a coup at 54 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: the time for Mark Davis, who had been pursuing Gruden 55 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: for years. Gruden remade the roster, the staff, he helped 56 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: the team with their transition into Las Vegas. The end 57 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: result a twenty two and thirty one record no playoff 58 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: appearances over parts of four seasons, and on Monday night, 59 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: John Gordon resigned in disgrace, quite likely his final coaching 60 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: opportunity at the age of fifty eight. In terms of 61 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: how the Raiders move forward from here, they have to 62 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: have a longtime Gruden assistant and special teams coordinator Rich 63 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: Basaccia as the interim coach, and they still do have 64 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: a game to play, a big one in the AFC 65 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: West on Sunday at Denver, Okay. So much work with 66 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: the NFL and inspiring change. These emails show a consistent 67 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: pattern of intolerance that is no place in this World'll 68 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: talk about it all morning here and all day on 69 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: NFL net work in tom Pellisara. You were the perfect 70 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: person to talk to, of course, as you broke this 71 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: story late last night. Thank you so much for joining us. 72 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: We'll talk to you throughout the day here on Good 73 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: Morning Football back here at the breakfast table. We of 74 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: course are one big, happy, diverse family at NFL Media 75 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: and you're watching at home, and thank you for choosing 76 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: us this morning. So please let us know how you 77 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: feel about all of this. At gm FEME you can 78 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: make your voices heard. We certainly see those tweets as 79 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: if you are Show D'Angelo, you are a former player, 80 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: you are the best person to talk to about how 81 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: they're going to react in the locker room to this 82 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: news and how they can respond for the rest of 83 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: the season, because I think we all agree that our 84 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: hearts go out to Raider Nation with all of this 85 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: going on, because they're the ones that have to deal 86 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: with the aftermath. Yeah, and for these players, you know, 87 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: the distraction doesn't end just because coach gruten has resigned, right, 88 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: The questions still kind of linger, and then there's still 89 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: always that thought in the back of your head, you know, well, 90 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: well and this situation was this a factor in you know, 91 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: X y Z, And so you know you're always kind 92 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: of questioning yourself trying to just figure out, you know, 93 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: but what really was Coach Bruton's heart. You know, a 94 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: lot of those players, you hear Josh Jacobs kind of 95 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: talk a little bit um, you know, before all the 96 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: rest of this, you know, came out. Josh Jacobs was 97 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: one of the guys who said, hey, um, you know, 98 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: people make mistakes. Let's move on. You know, he's apologized Um, 99 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: and and now does that tone change? You know, I 100 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: would like to think it does, because when you find 101 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: out all of this stuff, you know, especially at this point, um, 102 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: you know, it's just not good, It's not right. Um. 103 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: You know, I feel bad for those players. I think 104 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: they will respond in a positive way, though. Um. You know, 105 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: I think those guys will rally together. You know, we 106 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: use coaches, you know, coaches, coaches get get you the 107 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: game plan. Um, but at a certain point, the players 108 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: in the locker room have to come together and kind 109 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: of police themselves. And so I think this, you know, 110 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: I think this Raiders football team will ultimately be okay 111 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: because those guys have I think great leadership. Um you know, 112 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: I think Derek carrby a guy who steps up and 113 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 1: kind of you know, helped steady the ship. But you know, 114 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: it's always going to be hanging over this organization's head. 115 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: And to know what Al Davis stood for. And I 116 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: was fortunate enough to play for Al Davis. And part 117 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: of the reason, um, you know I wanted to go 118 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: to Oakland wasn't the best deal for myself. Um you know, 119 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: I got cut eight games in and I knew that 120 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: was a that was a possibility, but just being in 121 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: the room with Al Davis, Um, you know, hearing him talk, 122 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: understanding what he meant to the game of football, what 123 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: he meant and really diversifying the NFL and diversifying you 124 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: know that that that that Raiders organization. UM, you know, 125 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: he's he's he's he's somewhere looking looking down at us, 126 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: you know, terrified at what what has come of all 127 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: of this. But I think, you know, I think the 128 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: Raiders did the right thing. I think coach Routon did 129 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: the right thing. He needed to remove himself from this situation. 130 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: Let let that Las Vegas, you know, organization try to 131 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: go out there and try to move on without him, 132 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: because you know, with all this stuff coming out, it 133 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: is I mean devastating is A is A is an 134 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: easy term um at this point, because I mean, to me, 135 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: it's still kind of mind blowing to even see where 136 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: we are, where we were yesterday, and where we are today. 137 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: I think you put it really well and I appreciate 138 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: you being so candid and honest about it in your comments. 139 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: Tom Palasera broke the story, you said it, and last 140 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: night when a story came out that he was resigning, 141 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: it's it's on the aftermath of not only the Wall 142 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: Street Journal article that came out Friday, but also the 143 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: New York Times article that came out Monday. What was 144 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: a conflict for me is that Raiders knew that a 145 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: lot of this was coming out, and he still coached 146 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: the game on Sunday as the face of the franchise, 147 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: which we can dissect a million different ways. There was 148 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: a point of no return though. You can't have that 149 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: kind of language, I kind of hate speech out there. 150 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: Then also have someone wearing the NFL logos while the 151 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: NFL is also trying to promote inclusivity and intolerance and 152 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: being a leader in that field. I would go back 153 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: to the Al Davis. The Al Davis hired Art Shell 154 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: as his head coach. First African Mary hired Amy Trask 155 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: to be in his front office, the first woman. He 156 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: hired Tom Flores, Hall of Fame coach, first Latino America. 157 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: The Raiders have always been known as, Hey, we've got 158 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of wild and crazy things going on. By 159 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: the end, we're all in this together, and we'll take 160 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: everyone from all different corners of the earth and put 161 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: them in one safe space. Yeah, I thought the nassive 162 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: thing was such a great stage into the next era 163 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: of the Raiders, because here's this gentleman coming out publicly 164 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,239 Speaker 1: and saying here and then to take get these these emails, 165 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: whether they're for the past or whatever they are, it 166 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: almost sets you back a little bit as an organization. 167 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: They'll regroup, they'll find a way to move forward. To 168 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: Mark Davis, I believe as a man of his word 169 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: and his of his father's same type of mentality towards inclusivity. 170 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: But it's it's a dark moment for not only the 171 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: Raiders organization, but for all of us to have to 172 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: address this in twenty twenty one. Now, I think you 173 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: pit yoursel been earlier in the in the year, in 174 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: the hour that the stuff that was in those emails 175 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: is out there, and we know that and it always 176 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: will be out there. It can't be out there for 177 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: a leader, it can't be out there for an executive. 178 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: There's a way to conduct yourself that is completely embarrassing 179 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: and pathetic for any leader, let alone a leader of 180 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: football players. And one of the names you mention quickly 181 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: de halt, I can't. I would love to get inside 182 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: there a car's head right now. I mean on the 183 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: football side of this. The storyline, the narrative for Car 184 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: has always been enduring John Gruden for years, and Gruden's tough, 185 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: and Gruden will wear you out, and Gruen's on your 186 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: ear on the sideline, and he built that and now 187 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: it's finally coming to fruition this year, and now Gruden 188 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: completely abandons him and lets him down. You know, he's 189 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: on his fourth head coach in nine years. This is 190 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: a guy who, by all accounts is a boy scout, 191 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: and I mean that as a compliment, like a great 192 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: person who's all inclusive. And he put in time with Gruden, 193 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: like he put investment in Green. This was the payoff 194 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: year and Gruden completely now was just abandoned him and 195 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: now sorry, I screwed up, and now you're on your 196 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: own again. And it's just this guy can't get a break. 197 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: The Antonio Brown thing was ridiculous. And now this was 198 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: supposed to be the season three and Oz and I 199 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: went on national television and why not because they can't 200 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: beat the Ravens because their head coach was an ignoramus 201 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 1: in the leadership position. And now he's on his own. 202 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: I feel for Car, I feel for the fans, and 203 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: I feel for Rebel who trusted the guy Basachi now 204 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: takes over as the interim head coach. I know things 205 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: were so different, and I'm not trying to liken it 206 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: to what you would through in two thousand and seven, D'Angelo, 207 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: but you were on a team with the Falcons that 208 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: they are their coaches as the infamous body Petrino incident. 209 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: So what is the biggest challenge of the team faces 210 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: when having to regroup without their head coach? You know, 211 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: just a different voice, a different um. It's not really 212 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: set of rules, because the standard set of rules are 213 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: are still going to be in place, but you know, 214 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: it's really that coach's mentality. Um. You know, Coach Gruten 215 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: was a guy who had a certain mentality, real fiery. 216 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: Like you said, Derek Carr kind of has just gotten 217 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: used to that, UM and now it's going to be 218 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: a different person. You know, the play caller will still 219 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: kind of be the same, but it's it's it's how 220 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: you go about your day to day and um, you 221 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: know when you have a different coach, um, you know, 222 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: I know us going from Bobby Petrino to it was 223 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: actually Emma Thomas who was the Hall of Fame DBU 224 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: was in my room as a dB coach, you know, 225 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: so our relationship was great, you know, you know, he 226 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: taught me so much. Um, whereas coach Petrino, I just 227 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: I never felt this though we were on the same page. 228 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: And it might be guys in that locker room who 229 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: felt that way. Who whoo, who felt like for some 230 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: reason they just went on the same page with coaching room. 231 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: So for some of those guys, it's gonna be a 232 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: side relief. And for other guys who who did have 233 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 1: good relationships with them, it's gonna kind of be ah 234 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: Man coach really let us down. And how do they 235 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: respond to that? Um? You know this, it's a tough field. 236 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: It was a tough hill climb in general for this 237 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders football team. Now, I mean that he'll 238 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: just continues to get even bigger and bigger to try 239 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: to climb Dangel. You guys had going for you as 240 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: a team. The bleep that guy, we don't want him 241 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 1: he or anyway, I remember worked one came out the 242 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 1: nicest guy in the world and said he was a 243 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: bad guy. Do you think the Raiders players are having 244 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: to bleep that guy? Factor about Gruden or is he 245 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: still their guy? How did you get inside their head? 246 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's a mixed response, and I 247 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: think that's what's gonna be puzzling in that locker room. 248 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: And what we figure out is is what guys, you know, 249 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: did he have really good relationships with that they never 250 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: saw this coming? And what guys really were like, look, yeah, 251 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: I kind of it all along. And so it might 252 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: be a divide in that locker room. And that's what 253 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: we'll find out in the next coming weeks. And I 254 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: think you'll kind of see it a little bit even 255 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: on film too, like our guys sacrificing for the guy 256 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: beside him. We watched that Ravens football game last night, 257 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: and you saw guys sacrifice. You saw guys throwing their 258 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: bodies around, making the play for the next guy throwing 259 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: this block. Does it mean that much to these guys, 260 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: you know? Is that divide really there? Or will these 261 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: guys kind of come together? Will it be a rallying 262 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: cry for that Raiders football team? And just from the 263 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: journalistic side of it, this came out of an investigation 264 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: of the Washington football team in which six hundred and 265 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: fifty thousand emails were scoured through, and this is the 266 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: first leak that we've gotten. I don't think this story 267 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 1: is done. And I'm not trying to say that, hey, 268 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: there's gonna be some great in the discovery phase. But 269 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: for John Gruden, who was on Monday Night football on 270 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: a coach of another team, for that to be the 271 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 1: first wave of here's what was discovered in this thing, 272 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: this could be explosive. It could be very explosive. And 273 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: I think that's the caveat that I think no one's 274 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: really talking about, Like, this wasn't about John Group. This 275 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: was about the Washington football team. It became about John 276 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 1: Gruten And everyone has since the wrap up of the investigation, 277 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: everybody has been trying to figure out what's going going 278 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 1: in Washington, even myself, you know, as an employee. Um, 279 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: you know, I called the games on Sunday on the radio, 280 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: and you know, it was times that I was kind 281 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: of like, you know, is this something I want to 282 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: be a part of because I didn't know what was 283 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: going to happen in that building and the uncertainty and 284 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: you know, obviously we know some things have happened in 285 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: recent weeks with the DA coming in there and so 286 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: it just seems like it continues to go. You know, 287 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: I'm not a player in that locker room anymore, but 288 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: you know, that taste, it just it just continues to go. 289 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: And I'm interested to see where it goes, because yes, 290 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: John Gruton got what he deserved. And I'm sure there's 291 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: millions of other people out here who are saying, the 292 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: Washington football team, we want to know what comes of 293 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,719 Speaker 1: this from from that stand out, We'll be here right here, 294 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: good morning football. Much more to get you highlights from 295 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: last night, Lamar Jackson putting on and all times players 296 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: sacrificing for each other. De'angelo Hall says, well, have more 297 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: highlights from that thriller in Baltimore, but against the Colts 298 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: after this, don't go anywhere electric football. Last night, Let's 299 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: get into it, Lamar, that was one of the greatest 300 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: nights you've ever seen. Was ever doubt be honest, No, 301 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: it wasn't a doubt of my mom our team. We 302 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: you know, we hit that peat that we need it, 303 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: you know, at the right time, second half, and you 304 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: know we just knew it one play at a time, 305 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: you know, that's all we kept signing in the huddle 306 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: like one pay at a time. You know, don't get 307 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: too hype over you know, we get twenty yards on 308 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: this play. You know, just take our time, and that's 309 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: what we did. Not a great night for defenses will 310 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: figure Lamar Jackson out. Not a great night for make 311 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: Lamar beat you with your arm being the default analysis 312 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: for Lamar, who threw for four hundred twenty two and 313 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: four Jones. That's not only incredible an epic because it 314 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: was a comeback, but also from an efficiency perspected eighty 315 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: six percent completion percentage, the highest ever four quarterback throwing 316 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: over four hundred yards. This was Russ and Wilsony, Russ 317 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: sol Wilsony. This was a Mahomesian epic comeback. Would you 318 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: make of it? Would you learned' angelo? I mean, I mean, 319 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: just hats off to Lamar. I mean, the Coats did 320 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: everything they could to give this game away to kind 321 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: of at the end, missing some field goals and things 322 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: like that. But I tell you what I mean, Lamar 323 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: played lights out football. I mean, me and my buddies 324 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: were having a little conversation, we guys, a little group 325 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: chat that we've had, gosh, probably about fifteen years, all right, 326 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: even when I was playing in the league and all, 327 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: you know, all types of conversations come up. And the 328 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: last conversation left yesterday, even it was about quarterbacks, and 329 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: I was just saying, how, you know how I love Lamar, 330 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: but you know I need him to take that next 331 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: step right And everybody's like, man, he's won an MVP, 332 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: and I'm like, yes, he won an MVP with limited throwing. 333 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: So the potential off the charts at what this guy 334 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: can be once he sits in the pocket, once he 335 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: sees a little more defenses. And that's what you saw. 336 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: You saw what the end result of what Lamar is 337 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: going to be. And I don't think he is a 338 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: finished product. Yesterday was a amazing game, thirty seven of 339 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: forty three, fourging and forty two yards four touchdowns, and 340 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: I'm telling you he's just scratching the surface. I mean, 341 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: he's just really understanding that, yes, I can always run 342 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: around and use that as my check down, but teams 343 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: now have to guard me a little bit differently because 344 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: I can get out this pocket and make tremendous plays 345 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: with my legs. And you saw that, you saw him 346 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: kind of understanding what coverages he was going against where 347 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: to attack these coverages, And I mean, I thought Lamar 348 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: played a hell of a football game. And I'm ready 349 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: to say, Lamar Jackson, you're proving everyone wrong right now, buddy, 350 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: because it was an amazing game by him. By the 351 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: rest of those Ravens, you know, couldn't have done it 352 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: without the defense getting those stops, because it took a 353 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: while for the defense to get those stops. Because Frank right, 354 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: I thought called a masterful game early on, play really 355 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: really good. Yeah, twenty two unanswered points when at some 356 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 1: point it looked like it was gonna be a we 357 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: gotta pick apart Lamar tomorrow and there we gotta do. 358 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: We gotta do the heavy lifting, and now we gotta 359 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: find holes in his game again. That was in a 360 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: week where Josh Allen was unbelievable, Justin Herbert was unbelievable, 361 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: Tom Brady was flawless. I think Lamar Jackson has had 362 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: the best game played by a quarterback all season. Is 363 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: the one, and it might have been missed by most 364 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: of America because it was after the halftime on Monday 365 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: Night football. Take a look now that we're done with 366 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: the Week five of football, take a look right now 367 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: of the NFL's passing leaders. There's Lamar. He's right in 368 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: the thick of it, right there with with Brady, who's 369 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: in a pass first offense, car pass first offense, Stafford 370 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: and Herbert. Lamar is right there. Let's take a look 371 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: at the NFL's rushing leaders right now. Okay, he's right there, 372 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: He's right in the top ten with some of the 373 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: best running backs you'll ever see. And then let's look 374 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: at teams total offenses total yards in the NFL. The 375 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: Raiders are thirteenth in the league, the Eagles are fourteenth, 376 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: and there's Lamar Jackson right with more yards than the 377 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: entire forty nine ers, the entire Colts team, and oh 378 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: sixteen other teams after that. Lamar Jackson is putting on 379 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: a show week to week. It is in dramatic fashion. 380 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: A lot of it is after hours. They've had so 381 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: many primetime games, and yet this guy continues to dispel 382 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: all the myths that he cannot play quarterback, and his 383 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: team continues to dispel the miss that you can't win 384 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: football games that way. They were down twenty two to 385 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: three with what was supposed to be a run first offense, 386 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: and guess what they scored twenty two on answer points 387 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: and that guy through for over four hundred and forty yards. 388 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: Hats off to Lamar Jacks helly. Yeah, add to the history. 389 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: It couldn't be more appropriate that this happened last night 390 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: and the Ravens hundred yard Russian streak is over. It 391 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: got snapped, one game short of the all time record. 392 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: This whole thing where Vic van Joe the Broncos got 393 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: pissed off, they run for one hundred yards. It's over. 394 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: They did not do it last night. I don't know 395 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: if they're disappointed to buy it, but I'm not at all. 396 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: This couldn't be more appropriate. This is we're evolving. We're 397 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: past that, we're done with the streak. I'm also evolving 398 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: past the palpable surprise every Monday or Tuesday morning when 399 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: Lamar throws a few asses. He has done this before. 400 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: We need to move as a community, as a country 401 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: passed like wow, Lamar can throw a little bit too. 402 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: Last year, he's already had a game where he threw 403 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 1: eighty percent in two hundred and seventy five. Two years 404 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: ago he had a Gamewey through eighty five percent and 405 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: three twenty four. This is not all of a sudden, 406 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: Happy learned how to put. He knows how to put. 407 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 1: He likes to drive. He's better at driving. He's also 408 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 1: very good at putting. So I'll just speak personally. I'm 409 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,239 Speaker 1: tired of the oh my gosh, he can no to 410 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: pay attention. He's been able to pass for a long time. 411 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: Some nights he does it better than others. He's the 412 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: perfect weapon, and he does belong with those guys. He 413 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: belongs with running backs. If you put him at wide receiver, Peter, 414 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: he'd be in the top five receivers. If he wanted 415 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: to put him a cornerback, he'd be in the top five. 416 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: With the interceptions, Adams, he can do it all. But 417 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: he's a quarterback. I know, we all know. Mike Evans 418 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: was asked yesterday about how how often he thinks about 419 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: the greatness of Tom Brady when he's out there, and 420 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: here's what he had to say. I mean all the time. 421 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: He always What he does is it's crazy, especially at 422 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: his age and the level of play that he's been 423 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: able to sustain for such a long time. It's it's 424 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: unreal and I don't think we'll ever see it again. 425 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: It's true. What Brady's doing this season unheard of. He's 426 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: blowing these other forty four year olds out of the 427 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: water historically, but his numbers this season are tops of 428 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: almost every single category. Evans is catching touch instance, saying 429 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: that's going on. If Tom Brady somehow wins the MVP 430 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: this season, where does that stuck up as far as 431 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: the greatest featuring his career? Is this even the conversation. 432 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just feel like he need begin 433 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: pretty yeah, right, and like if he wins the MVP, 434 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: does he then get that that's the greatest feed in 435 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: his career? Then he wins another super Bowl and we're like, 436 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: no, no no, no, that's the greatest feet of his career. 437 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: The next year wins another and then know that one 438 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: at forty five. I don't know how many times he 439 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: can rip up the pages on you know, this is amazing. 440 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 1: But what he's doing this incredible what I find so fascinating. 441 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: We watched these games and on and on Sunday. It 442 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: was a cool one where he had Momo and NaN's 443 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,719 Speaker 1: doing the game. It's not often that we get an 444 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: NFC team on CBS, and especially those guys, and it's like, Wow, 445 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: Brady is significantly older than Tony Romo, and Romo's calling 446 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: his games. And you've got Mark Sanchez in the booth now, 447 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: and you've got Jonathan Vilma in the booth, and you've 448 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: got all these other people who are significantly younger than 449 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: the quarterback that they're owing an eye over. It's a 450 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: fascinating dynamic. And I know that forty five or fifty, 451 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: we're not sure what it is. Let's appreciate forty four. 452 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: It's insane what Tom Brady is doing right now. And 453 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: he looks as good as eart. Yeah, I mean, Tom 454 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: Brady is amazing. I mean I thought he was amazing 455 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: four or five years agoing to see him continue down 456 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 1: this road. You know, we knew that Tom Brady this year, 457 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: it had the opportunity to do something special. You know, 458 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: if you watch how this team played last year, in 459 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: the chemistry, as how they got better and better as 460 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: the season went on, you knew, oh man, the workhorse 461 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 1: that Tom Brady is, this team has a chance to 462 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: really be scary. But I think the biggest feat was 463 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: last year. I mean just everything they had to overcome 464 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: with COVID, with not having you know, typical offseason to 465 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: really work out all that chemistry and to ultimately come 466 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: out and win the Super Bowl. You know, that's that's 467 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: that's Tom's measuring stick. You know it's MVPs are cool 468 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: and they're great, but Tom wants to sit in front 469 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: of you and flash those rings. And so to get 470 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 1: seven I thought was the greatest accomplishment anybody could ever 471 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: think to greater feat for Tom Brady winning without Belicheck 472 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: and a new team was up greater to you than 473 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: twenty eight to three. Tell me yes, yeah, yes, yes, 474 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: just because I was one of those ones who thought 475 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: it was all about Belichick as well. Um, I didn't 476 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,360 Speaker 1: give Tom the amount of respect he probably deserves, so 477 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: I apologize for that. Twenty three is because Kyle Shanahan 478 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: didn't run the ball. Yes, that's that's because Matt Ryan 479 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: didn't do these things. That's a footnote. I love twenty 480 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: eighth to three. But the answer is absolutely a resounding yes. 481 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: It would be as most impressive if he won the 482 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: MVP because the Hall you know this, he won the 483 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: Super Bowl a lot last year because Devin White and 484 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: Jason Pierre Paul. That was a great team, a great team, 485 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: and the said, no Lineman, if he wins the MVP 486 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: in the era when we have the best quarterbacks we've 487 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 1: ever had and passing records being broken left right, and 488 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: he's forty four, Yes, it would be. However, my final 489 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: answer to this is that he his greatest accomplishment is 490 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: still four years away. It's the twenty twenty five season 491 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: and he has a date with destiny and bring me 492 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: the picture. This is the man he is chasing. This 493 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: will be his greatest accomplishment. That's George Blanda in an 494 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: NFL game, oldest player of all time. Tom Brady still 495 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: has four years left to go when he gets that 496 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: he can finally best Kyle. I have another show. I 497 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: thought you're gonna show Fisher of arch Manning and say 498 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: when he beats arch Man and I'll be an arch too. 499 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: That is when when he's George Blanda's age beating arch 500 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 1: Man in the Rookie and the super Bowl, then it's like, Tom, 501 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: you're out of here. Go let's welcome in live from London. 502 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: Scott Piola's got hello, Hello, Scott. We gotta start, though 503 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 1: on a different tone here. We're gonna start with the 504 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: breaking news out of Las Vegas last night. I know 505 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: you were likely at a different time zone when I 506 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: went down. But John Bruden has now resigned as the 507 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: Raiders head coach after multiple reports surface of him using 508 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: racially insensitive, homophobic, and misogynistic terms and emails I dated 509 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: all the way back to twenty ten. Let me ask 510 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 1: this guy, You've been in the league a long time. 511 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: What was your first reaction when you saw the news? 512 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: You know, well, first, I'll go back to the news 513 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: when all of this information started to come out, it 514 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: was disappointment. It was unfortunately. I wish I could say 515 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: it was shock, and I don't mean because of John Bruden, 516 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: just because I've been in too many rooms for too 517 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: many years. And I woke up this morning and saw 518 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: that he had resigned, and I saw the additional like 519 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: every couple of hours is more information coming out. And 520 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: again I'm still trying to process my feelings. I'm having 521 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: a lot of feelings, and I'm going to be quite 522 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: honest here. We don't have enough time for this show. 523 00:24:54,720 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: I wish my feelings were just disappointment in John, but 524 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,719 Speaker 1: I think that there's a much bigger thing going on 525 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: here that we have to keep being reminded of rather 526 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: than us reminding ourselves where we're at in society, and 527 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: so I'm still processing a lot. But I guess the 528 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: word I can't get past is words or disappointment and frustration. 529 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: Totally understand Scott and completely relate. Let's try to compartmentalize 530 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: a little bit and look to the business side of it. 531 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: You understand the football business. What happens next with the 532 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders? What did they do to move on 533 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: from here as an organization, as a team? You know, Kyle, 534 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: This is the interesting thing is that all of us 535 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: that are in this business, players, coaches, anyone who's with 536 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: a team, we are trained and taught to compartmentalized life 537 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: and compartmentalize things. Okay, you have a death in the family, 538 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: you compartmentalize, and you go out and play a game 539 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: or work a game. There's a lot of things that 540 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: we've been trained to compartmentalize. This to me is going 541 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: to be very interesting. I think there will be a 542 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: segment of the population within the Raiders that can compartmentalize. Again, 543 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: because of the topic that we're on here, I think 544 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: that there will be players that won't be able to compartmentalize. 545 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: And it's gonna be really interesting to see how the 546 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: team reacts based on this. Again, this is one of 547 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 1: those ones that I wish I could give you a 548 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: better answer, because you'd say, oh, yeah, they're going to compartmentalize, 549 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: They're gonna do everything will be fine, because that's what 550 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: they're trained to do. I don't know if any of us, well, 551 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: clearly none of us are trained to work ourselves through 552 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 1: circumstances like this. That's well said. Scott will of course 553 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 1: be tracking the John Gruden story throughout the day. Are 554 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: very on Tompilso breaking that story last night. John Gruden 555 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: resigning as the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. 556 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: We loved while we have you, and you're over in London. 557 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 1: Let's talk a little football rest of the NFL now, 558 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: and I want to ask you about the Cowboys. You're 559 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: in London. They're America's team and they are looking awesome 560 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: on offense, but as stand out defensively as well. I'll 561 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 1: be honest and admit I wasn't sure how the dan 562 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: Quinn campaign was going to go over. I had my questions, 563 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,479 Speaker 1: how much do you believe they're defensive perform so far 564 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: as shaped and influenced by their decordinator. Okay, I think 565 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: a ton of it is. You know, I worked several 566 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: years with Dan in Atlanta, even though he was the 567 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: head coach. I had studied him as a coordinator under 568 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll and got to work with him day to day. 569 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: What I really loved that they did was they went 570 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: out and made sure for Dan's defense, what he likes 571 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 1: to do in terms of penetrating, getting up field, the 572 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: type of coverages he likes to run. They have done 573 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: a good job of making sure that they're bringing in 574 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 1: or keeping the players and possibly you know, and moving 575 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: on from some of the players that don't fit the scheme. 576 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 1: You know, one of the key things to Dan quinn 577 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 1: football is he always talked about this preach it's all 578 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: about the ball. And I understand he's the defensive coordinator 579 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: and not the head coach, but what he has done 580 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: there right now their number two in the league in 581 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: takeaways and their number two in the league overall in 582 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: terms of turnover turnover differential. So Dan is making his 583 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: imprint on this defense, which has become infectious with the 584 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 1: whole club because, oh, by the way, on the other 585 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: side of the ball, they've got a heck of a book. 586 00:27:58,600 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: You know, they got a bunch of good players on 587 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: the side the ball. So Dan's whole idea about being 588 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: about the ball, getting after the ball. Everything is about 589 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: the ball. That's what their defense is doing right now 590 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: and they're capitalizing on that as an overall team. Scott, 591 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: the reason you're in London is what an international combine? 592 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 1: Tell us what's happened in this week? Yeah, yeah, it's so. 593 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: They's been a lot going on in the past several days. 594 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 1: We've got forty three players from across the world, from everywhere, 595 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: from New Zealand, Japan, Germany, most every country you could 596 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: think of. We've got three players in from Nigeria that 597 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: are part of a program that OCU Manora is heading 598 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: up and they're here working out. And what the process 599 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: is is we have this combine. We didn't have it 600 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: last year. We had a couple of years ago in Cologne. 601 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: The players come here, we evaluate them. I've spent the 602 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: past two days interviewing all of the players, spending time 603 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: with them, getting to know them, their backgrounds. I mean, 604 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: what we see here is amazing. One young man I 605 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: was with is a full time plumber and a part 606 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: time student and oh, by the way, he pays to 607 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: play football. It's a remarkable group of people. And from this, 608 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: it's like what we did last year with Samas Race. 609 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: From this group, we select a group of players that 610 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: will come to the United States and train for three 611 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: months through late the late winter early spring, and we'll 612 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: have another combine or pro day based on the players 613 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: that we select out of this forty three. So cool, 614 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: and it's such a cool experience for you, obviously personally 615 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: and professionally having done so much work over the years 616 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: in different front offices to now be able to go 617 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: to London and foots on the ground, feet on the 618 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: ground and also playing a big role in the leadership 619 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: of it. Scott, thank you for being a part of 620 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: the show and thank you for bringing our game overseason 621 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: for them to now bring their games over here. Absolutely, 622 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: Thank you guys. Great to see you again and I'll 623 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: see you from home. On Tuesday, during the Sunday night 624 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: football rain delay, Bills and Chiefs players were given peanut 625 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: butter and jelly sandwiches. It was viral all over the 626 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: place and they were eating them as they were waiting 627 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: for the game to get going again. That got us 628 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: thinking about perfect combinations, like, we'll try to team me 629 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: up in the football world, though, who do you believe 630 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: has the potential to be the PB and j the 631 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: go to combo this season? Well, I'm going with a 632 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: young crew. On with a young crew. It's Joe Burrow 633 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: and Jamar Chase. I mean, if that ain't peanut butter 634 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: and jelly for you, and dating back too, and look, 635 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, we all have chronicled those struggles in the 636 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: preseason and every everybody was worried and concerned Joe Burrow 637 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: first game, say, hey, so the dude couldn't catch and 638 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: so I mean just the connection in the combination that 639 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: those two guys. Joe Burrow has over twelve hundred yards 640 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: eleven tds forming and fifty of those yards are Jamar chases. 641 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: Five touchdowns are Jamar chases. I just think that this 642 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: young combination is going to be a force to be 643 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: reckoned within this league years and years to come. I 644 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: know there's probably better combinations that have been doing it longer, 645 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: but I like these two young studs right here and now. 646 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: It's awesome. You mentioned offseason concerns and the August worries 647 00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: or whether he can catch the ball. How about a 648 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: tantum that was listening to offseason concerns right up until 649 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: week two, because Week one it did not look at 650 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: I'm going with the old, the old forsm Rogerson Adams. 651 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: This is what it is, and they're doing it against 652 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: started off slow out of the gates against New Orleans. 653 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: Listen to this, Davante Adams. Right now, these are league 654 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: and catches, a targets, receiving yards, twenty yard catches, first down. 655 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: I can go on. There's about a million different stats. 656 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: Rogers and Adams is the combination. They are the goat 657 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: right now and they are sitting pretty on top of 658 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: that perch. I would love to see Jamarin Borough challenging, 659 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: but there's no one even How are you going with 660 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: the Rogers hair these days? The peanut butter is definitely 661 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: a little frunch, yes, right, just a little bit. I'm 662 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: looking at watchability absolutely, and you can have the Longs, 663 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: the Mannings, the Shanahans. Give me a fathersome combination in 664 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: New England. Give me Bill and Steve Belichick playing. There's 665 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: the tandem. There's the old man and a prodigal son 666 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,959 Speaker 1: on the left. You don't know if you know this 667 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: is Steve played lacrosse at Rutgers. He was a long 668 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: stick middie. Actually played against Chris Hogan at one point 669 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: on the field and lacrosse and has probably the most 670 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: giffable face in the NFL right now. He used to 671 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: have the crazy, crazy long hair and then he went 672 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: with this sort of unbelievable Joe dirt deal and that's 673 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: just how he rocks it. And he sticks his tongue 674 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: out sometimes on Cameron. People like it. And he's the 675 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: son to the most successful NFL coach of all times. 676 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: This guy gonna coach the Patriots someday? Is he going 677 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: to do it? Because I'm here for it. I love 678 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: them when it's a Patriots game. Enough of Mac Jonesy's great. 679 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: I like the Belichick boys. Those are my guys. Those 680 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: are hard to beat. Ears is really hard. It's the 681 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: classic poeb and J. You know exactly what it's going 682 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 1: to taste like every time, but it's must watch. I 683 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: like when you like have an unexpected peb and J. 684 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: Maybe it's on cinnamon toast, Maybe there're slices of banana 685 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: put between the peanut butter and the jelly. It's something 686 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 1: that you weren't quite expecting. And that's my favorite combo. 687 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: It is Justin Herbert, who's somehow and possibly building upon 688 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: a record breaking performance his freshman season now he's in 689 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: his sophomore year. And it's Mike Williams is the receiver 690 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: that I love of watching him throw too. Nobody thought 691 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: and nobody stopped his Banan saases in the pb and 692 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: J coming or those blueberries, and these two combined guys 693 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: for a league leading six touchdowns so far. Williams is 694 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: fifth in the league overall. Big body, red zone. Love 695 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: him all over the field. It's nothing but big play 696 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: after big play between them, and I don't see them 697 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: slowing down anytime soon. Okay, there's no blueberries in the PBJ. 698 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: Blueberries I love like toast with peanut butter and then 699 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: a very little jelly and lots of blueberries on top. 700 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Blue Stone Street, let's go. I have 701 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: toasted my bread on a PBJ. It is amazing for 702 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: cinnamon bread. Not a joke. Oh what you'll talk, Kirk 703 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: Cousins and the biting very strange first five weeks. Give 704 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: us your PBJ combos. I know I'm not the only 705 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: one who eats fruit on their PB and j's I 706 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: know it, or you put extra peanut butter on both sides. 707 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 1: The little it's a lot of ways to go. Taco 708 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: Tuesday is still cool because we say so time to 709 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: get some things off our chest with a segment that 710 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: we call Taco about It, Peter, anything you want to discuss, 711 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: maybe Liederhosen, the NFC North, maybe blueberries on peanut butter, 712 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: and generally I'm gonna go to last week's Vikings Lions game. 713 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: The big story afterwards was Dan Campbell crying and so 714 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 1: emotional that his team couldn't come out with a win 715 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: because of this miraculous victory by the Minnesota Vikings. In 716 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: the last second. Have you been watching Vikings games this season? 717 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 1: I'm crying for Vikings face. The Vikings have had one 718 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 1: of the most historically heartbreaking seasons of any and it's 719 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: only five weeks in. This was Week one, a game 720 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: that they thought they were in control of and their 721 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 1: star running back fumble in overtime in Bengals territory. They 722 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: would eventually lose this and overtime. This is Week two. 723 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 1: They marched them all the way down field and Greg 724 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 1: Joseph who had hit a fifty yarder earlier. This is 725 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,359 Speaker 1: a forty yarder. They lose. This is week four. They 726 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: go to Cleveland where they somehow hold the Browns to 727 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 1: just fourteen points and they lose. Then this week was crazy. 728 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,320 Speaker 1: They're up sixteen to six against the Lions, which a 729 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 1: minute left to go, and Greg Joseph comes out to 730 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,479 Speaker 1: put it away. This one looks like it was good. 731 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: It was short, so weird. So then the Lions get 732 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: the ball back. They score a field goal. Then it's 733 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,800 Speaker 1: sixteen to nine. Put the game away. Take a knee, 734 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: end it. Alexander Madison with a minute left to go, 735 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,360 Speaker 1: just go down. The game's over. He's fighting three yards, 736 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: he fallals, and then the Lions come back and score 737 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 1: the touchdown and they have the two point. The fact 738 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: that it even got to that and then it get 739 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 1: this is what we see in the highlights, like, oh, 740 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: the Vikings win. The Vikings were up sixteen to six 741 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 1: with three minutes left, and they had a missfield goal 742 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: and they're running back fumbled unnecessarily, like they tried giving 743 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: this game away, and it's a team that has already 744 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 1: given away other games. The Vikings are two and three 745 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,799 Speaker 1: they can very easily be five and o right now. 746 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: They have been that good. I am crying for the 747 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 1: Lions fans, obviously there's some tragic losses to them. I'm 748 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,720 Speaker 1: crying for Vikings fans. It's gonna be a heart attack 749 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: every time you're working up a lather over there to 750 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,839 Speaker 1: these games, like just just take a knee, dude. Unbelievable. 751 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: That was a really good talk about it, because you 752 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: got sweating and lost the idea. We've been on a mission. 753 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,359 Speaker 1: At least I have been to not underappreciate what Tom 754 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: Brady's doing this year, and that's great. We have to 755 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 1: do the same for Derrick Henry. It's not normal. Stop 756 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,720 Speaker 1: normalizing Derrick Henry and just think it adds. Derrick Henry's 757 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. No, if he slipped in your fantasy draft. 758 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 1: If you don't think he's gonna do the things he's 759 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 1: gonna do a year, you are so wrong, so wrong. 760 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: But set the stage again. Historically, two thousand yard rushers 761 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:55,800 Speaker 1: as Derrick Henry was last year, have major falloffs. Follow 762 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: me with the upper left corner. Dickerson falls up nine 763 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: hundred yards, Adrian Peterson eight hundred, Jamal Lewis a thousand 764 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:06,320 Speaker 1: Barry Sanders the highest Everson. It's always a massive, massive 765 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 1: falloup Derek Hery's head. Derekmny is ahead after five weeks 766 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,800 Speaker 1: on pace for twenty one hundred yards and in a 767 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 1: sixteen game season, still two thousand yards. Want to see 768 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: what he's down in the last forty games of his career. 769 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 1: Been the goat forty games stretch in NFL history. He's 770 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: looking down on Jim the Juice, t d and Eric Dickerson. 771 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 1: No one in the history of organized football has been 772 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 1: better running the ball than Derrick Henry over a forty 773 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 1: game stretch. Ever, understand he is incredibly serious about his 774 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 1: training and cry, oh this and photo modulation this, and 775 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: it's working. Stop thinking this is okay because it is 776 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: not human what he's doing. I appreciate you, Derrick Henry, 777 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 1: Dangel Hall, I appreciate you. What do you want to 778 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: talk about? Oh, I want to talk about Matt Ryan 779 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: Because he was a dude that I had already retired, 780 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,240 Speaker 1: and I said, get him out of Atlanta. You should 781 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 1: have gone wander back. What are you doing? And through 782 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 1: the first two weeks was right, but then Matt said, hey, guys, 783 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: I still have it, and I think he got right 784 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: against my Washington team. But this is last week. He 785 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 1: finally gets the football to one of his great playmakers 786 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,839 Speaker 1: and Kyle Pitts. And he's a guy that we thought 787 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,720 Speaker 1: was going to be a bigger part of this offense. 788 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,719 Speaker 1: He hadn't been really up until last week and this 789 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: week against the Jets. But man, that Ryan still got it, 790 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: throwing the football at the seventy percent clip, almost thirteen 791 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 1: hundred yards, ten touchdowns. You know, I thought not having 792 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,399 Speaker 1: you know, Julio first of all, was such a guy 793 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 1: that dictated coverage right, It made things a little bit 794 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,760 Speaker 1: easy because you know when who deals on the field 795 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: band And then all right, Calvin Ridley has stepped up 796 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: become a great playmaker. He wasn't playing last week, but 797 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: for Matt Ryan and his offense to continue to get 798 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: better and better and to see him, you know, return 799 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: to that kind of MVP form and proved to me 800 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: that he can still throw this rock. Therelling come back 801 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 1: for the Ravens. I started to wrap up. He's five 802 00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: and the twenty twenty one season. It's come to it, 803 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: and so what do we do now? It's a very 804 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 1: important moment as we induct a new moment into the 805 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 1: Hall of Frame. These are images that speak to the week, 806 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,279 Speaker 1: that connect the season. Think about an old school scrapbook, 807 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,319 Speaker 1: a photo album. That's what we're talking about. So this 808 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 1: year we've had James Winston celebrating his face beating the 809 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: Packers week one. I love that we put that in there. 810 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 1: Need to remember that and documented. Then you had Lamar 811 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: Jackson end zone flip Week two. Then we go to 812 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 1: the Chargers justin Herbert Brand and stately they hug after 813 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 1: their win. And then week four, guys, we picked Brady 814 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: and Belichick's postgame hug. Let's go out to this week. 815 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 1: What we got there was this giant, lurking elephant in 816 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: the room. For all the Bills talk we had this offseason, 817 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 1: it said they haven't beaten the Chiefs, they can't get 818 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: by the Chiefs. On the first drive of the game, 819 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 1: the Bills went right down the field and they got 820 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: their touchdown. And then in the third quarter when they 821 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,399 Speaker 1: needed it, it was a finishing statement like no other. 822 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 1: Josh Allen hurtling over cornerback Lagarious need to get a 823 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 1: first down. This was so symbolic the Bills jumping over 824 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 1: the Chiefs and saying, this is our moment. You've been 825 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: our hurdle and you're going to leap over you and 826 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,839 Speaker 1: get there. I've got Alan over Snead. But really it 827 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 1: was the Bills jumping over the Chiefs in a lot 828 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: of ways in the ACA. Good job, Peter, I feel 829 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 1: like you wrote your paper and got a job. And Peter, 830 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: I mean you're together earlier talking about the Minnesota Vikers 831 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 1: and how some of these games they should have won, right, 832 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 1: They've played a lot of close games. To watch Kirk 833 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,759 Speaker 1: Cousins interaction with Mike Zimmer as game. I mean it 834 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: was vintage. How you like that? You know it was 835 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 1: vintage Kirk Cousins And I said, Kirk, you can't run 836 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: up on my man. Zim like that. Zim's a coaching 837 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,800 Speaker 1: veterans in this league. You might get zem a heart attack. 838 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 1: Zim the do a lot. That's my guy who was 839 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:45,360 Speaker 1: my coordinator for a year. Love Mike Zimmer, Love Kirk Cousins. 840 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 1: Love this picture right here. Man, Minnesota got that monkey 841 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,360 Speaker 1: off that back. Gotta win. I love it for those guys. 842 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 1: I love for those guys too. We gotta put ourselves 843 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 1: in January. When you look back on week five, Week 844 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 1: five was the weird week, the wild one. Remember Week five, 845 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,480 Speaker 1: all that stuff with the kickers, Remember that crazy Bengals 846 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 1: Packers game. That's why I'm going with, Yes, Bengals kicker 847 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: Evan McPherson missing another kick and then supposed to be celebrating. 848 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,399 Speaker 1: You're sort of confused here at the time about wait, 849 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,240 Speaker 1: did it go in or not? This was the weirdest 850 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 1: wild this week, and it does deserves a weird wild picture. 851 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 1: That's why I'm going with Evan McPherson up the Bengals. 852 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,440 Speaker 1: Evan McPherson very on brand for good morning football. I 853 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,240 Speaker 1: see what you're doing here. What we were really robbed 854 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 1: of was him wearing the image would have been him 855 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:41,280 Speaker 1: wearing Jamal Adams outfit. That happened to see. How watched 856 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,360 Speaker 1: that one? And I will give you the perfect A 857 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,839 Speaker 1: plus for this, And it's going to go with Peter 858 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 1: Schrager's image because this is the week Week five. I 859 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 1: want to remember Peter Schreger's heel turn. Yeah you know 860 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,360 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Yeah, Hell yes I do. Peter's abandon 861 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 1: the Chiefs completely. Peter, you are a ground floor investor 862 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes. Now you're selling all your shots. Peter 863 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,320 Speaker 1: Schrager in's fact, let's impose his face onto Josh Allen 864 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 1: as he is jumping over Sneed and leaping over him 865 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 1: in the rest of that Chief's Teams dot Com right now? 866 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 1: Who he is holding that stock? They can't have a 867 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,320 Speaker 1: little dip. I don't know, man, hets dot com is 868 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. I don't know. But who is 869 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 1: this guy? They don't mind. You're breaking my heart. Man, 870 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:30,439 Speaker 1: You're playing better football.
