00:00:27,068 --> 00:00:29,788
Speaker 1: to Good Morning Football. We are live in New York City.

4
00:00:29,828 --> 00:00:32,828
Speaker 1: It is Monday, July eleventh. My name is Rachel Venetta,

5
00:00:32,788 --> 00:00:37,228
Speaker 1: alongside Adam Ranked, Tom Pellisero, and he spent nine seasons

6
00:00:37,268 --> 00:00:41,108
Speaker 1: with the Patriots, Panthers and Colts. Our own dB, Darius

7
00:00:41,188 --> 00:00:46,268
Speaker 1: Bars Welcome back in the studio. Everybody, everyone's looking good.

8
00:00:46,268 --> 00:00:48,148
Speaker 1: Everyone's looking tan. If this is gonna be a very

9
00:00:48,148 --> 00:00:49,748
Speaker 1: fun week in New York City, it is time for

10
00:00:49,788 --> 00:00:53,428
Speaker 1: the lead blocks. Get things started, all right. Let's start

11
00:00:53,468 --> 00:00:56,708
Speaker 1: with a huge trade. Last week, Baker Mayfield is now

12
00:00:56,748 --> 00:01:00,828
Speaker 1: a Panther. Tom Pellacero. How did the former number one

13
00:01:00,948 --> 00:01:03,788
Speaker 1: overall pick end up in Carolina? And what does it

14
00:01:03,828 --> 00:01:06,308
Speaker 1: mean French? I mean, oh Richel. This had been in

15
00:01:06,348 --> 00:01:09,868
Speaker 1: the works for months. It's going back before the draft

16
00:01:09,908 --> 00:01:12,868
Speaker 1: and the Panthers and Browns had had ongoing trade discussions.

17
00:01:12,868 --> 00:01:15,268
Speaker 1: Really the draft pick compensation, a fifth round that could

18
00:01:15,268 --> 00:01:17,748
Speaker 1: become a fourth based upon playing time had been agreed

19
00:01:17,788 --> 00:01:20,628
Speaker 1: to for weeks. The issue was going to be the money,

20
00:01:20,668 --> 00:01:22,988
Speaker 1: and everybody had to come to the table and figure

21
00:01:23,028 --> 00:01:25,068
Speaker 1: out a path forward. So the Browns are actually going

22
00:01:25,108 --> 00:01:27,948
Speaker 1: to end up paying Baker Mayfield ten point five million

23
00:01:27,988 --> 00:01:30,308
Speaker 1: dollars of his over eighteen million dollars salary on the

24
00:01:30,308 --> 00:01:33,428
Speaker 1: fifth year option on his rookie contract. Also the Panthers

25
00:01:33,428 --> 00:01:36,908
Speaker 1: picking up about five million. The Baker Mayfield takes roughly

26
00:01:36,908 --> 00:01:39,388
Speaker 1: three point five million dollars cut. He can earn that

27
00:01:39,548 --> 00:01:42,708
Speaker 1: back with incentives. This gives him the fresh start that

28
00:01:42,828 --> 00:01:46,268
Speaker 1: he wanted in Carolina. Meanwhile, the Browns move full forward

29
00:01:46,308 --> 00:01:50,308
Speaker 1: into the Deshaun Watson era. So Jimmy Garoppolo now obviously

30
00:01:50,348 --> 00:01:53,388
Speaker 1: the highest profile quarterback who is still available. There was

31
00:01:53,428 --> 00:01:57,708
Speaker 1: a report over the weekend from a radio host saying

32
00:01:57,748 --> 00:02:00,228
Speaker 1: that he had spoken to Jason Lett and spoken to

33
00:02:00,428 --> 00:02:02,988
Speaker 1: Don Yee, who is Jimmy Garoppolo's agent, and that the

34
00:02:03,068 --> 00:02:06,708
Speaker 1: Buccaneers had reached out on making Garoppolo the air parent

35
00:02:06,828 --> 00:02:09,308
Speaker 1: again to Tom Brady, well, I spoke to Dan Ye

36
00:02:09,588 --> 00:02:11,988
Speaker 1: yesterday and here is what he told me, if we

37
00:02:12,028 --> 00:02:14,748
Speaker 1: had put that on the screen. He said he's progressing

38
00:02:14,788 --> 00:02:17,428
Speaker 1: well and on schedule. Because of course Garoppolo coming off

39
00:02:17,428 --> 00:02:21,308
Speaker 1: that shoulder surgery. We're optimistic about the upcoming season. Over

40
00:02:21,348 --> 00:02:23,388
Speaker 1: the weekend, a report came out that asserted that I

41
00:02:23,468 --> 00:02:26,188
Speaker 1: had spoken to a media member about his future, but

42
00:02:26,308 --> 00:02:28,268
Speaker 1: the report was false. So what I can tell you

43
00:02:28,348 --> 00:02:30,948
Speaker 1: as I now, Rachel, there is nothing imminent. There's a

44
00:02:30,948 --> 00:02:33,188
Speaker 1: lot of NFL executives who are still kind of on

45
00:02:33,308 --> 00:02:36,108
Speaker 1: vacation or starting to trickle back into the office this week.

46
00:02:36,268 --> 00:02:39,348
Speaker 1: The expectation, though, within the league, continues to be Jimmy

47
00:02:39,348 --> 00:02:43,628
Speaker 1: Garoppolo is traded somewhere by the end of the month. Okay, well,

48
00:02:43,668 --> 00:02:45,588
Speaker 1: we're gonna all be on Jimmy g watch for the

49
00:02:45,628 --> 00:02:47,068
Speaker 1: rest of them. I feel like we've been on that

50
00:02:47,148 --> 00:02:51,868
Speaker 1: for the last talking about that non stop. But let's

51
00:02:51,868 --> 00:02:54,828
Speaker 1: stick with Carolina in their quarterback room. How big of

52
00:02:54,908 --> 00:02:57,908
Speaker 1: a quarterback upgrade is Baker Mayfield for the Panthers? Dearis,

53
00:02:57,908 --> 00:02:59,508
Speaker 1: I'll start with you. Are you kidding me? It's a

54
00:02:59,628 --> 00:03:04,108
Speaker 1: huge amount of Panthers. I mean, Baker Mayfield. I can't

55
00:03:04,508 --> 00:03:07,748
Speaker 1: estimate what he did in Cleveland. The Browns were horrible

56
00:03:07,908 --> 00:03:09,828
Speaker 1: the previous couple of years before he got there, in

57
00:03:09,908 --> 00:03:12,668
Speaker 1: a long time before that took these guys to the playoffs.

58
00:03:12,668 --> 00:03:15,348
Speaker 1: Baker's the top twenty quarterback in this league. Went healthy.

59
00:03:15,388 --> 00:03:17,308
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people forgot about that. The

60
00:03:17,348 --> 00:03:20,028
Speaker 1: worst thing that Baker did last year was played through

61
00:03:20,028 --> 00:03:22,108
Speaker 1: that injury. You know, it's good for the teammates, good

62
00:03:22,108 --> 00:03:23,868
Speaker 1: for the locker room, trying to gut it out, but

63
00:03:24,068 --> 00:03:25,908
Speaker 1: he really should have sat down and just got healthy.

64
00:03:25,948 --> 00:03:28,428
Speaker 1: But I think he's a huge upgrade for the Carolina Panthers,

65
00:03:28,588 --> 00:03:30,308
Speaker 1: and I think they'll do some pretty good things down

66
00:03:30,308 --> 00:03:32,508
Speaker 1: there and on the NFC South with him at a quarterback.

67
00:03:32,628 --> 00:03:35,188
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I like I like Baker. I don't want to.

68
00:03:35,268 --> 00:03:37,668
Speaker 1: I don't want this to get misconstrued in anyway. Voice

69
00:03:37,908 --> 00:03:42,028
Speaker 1: like no like him. But at the same time, this

70
00:03:42,108 --> 00:03:43,588
Speaker 1: is kind of like, I don't know, Let's say your

71
00:03:43,588 --> 00:03:48,108
Speaker 1: country fair has booked Candlebox and they canceled the last minute,

72
00:03:48,148 --> 00:03:50,428
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, here comes Nickelback, Like, Okay,

73
00:03:50,988 --> 00:03:54,348
Speaker 1: it's the same area. It's almost the same. I just

74
00:03:54,548 --> 00:03:57,108
Speaker 1: you know what, for me, I do agree with what

75
00:03:57,228 --> 00:03:59,388
Speaker 1: you said. Like to me, I think Cleveland kind of

76
00:03:59,428 --> 00:04:02,188
Speaker 1: mishandled that whole situation. Not only did they win a

77
00:04:02,268 --> 00:04:06,108
Speaker 1: playoff game, they beat the Steelers handedly in a playoff game.

78
00:04:06,388 --> 00:04:08,548
Speaker 1: I just want to defend Sam Darnold a little bit

79
00:04:08,628 --> 00:04:11,788
Speaker 1: I again, I'm a Southern listen. I'm a Southern California guy,

80
00:04:12,068 --> 00:04:14,948
Speaker 1: San Clementi High School, Go Triton's. I just don't think

81
00:04:14,948 --> 00:04:16,868
Speaker 1: that he got enough of an opportunity. And now he's

82
00:04:16,868 --> 00:04:19,388
Speaker 1: gonna get shuffled again. He's gonna bounce around, He's going

83
00:04:19,428 --> 00:04:21,268
Speaker 1: to be a backup a long time in this league.

84
00:04:21,548 --> 00:04:23,388
Speaker 1: But it's just gonna be one of those situations where

85
00:04:23,428 --> 00:04:26,148
Speaker 1: like he's never been given an opportunity. And I thought

86
00:04:26,228 --> 00:04:28,788
Speaker 1: last year, you know, when Joe Brady the first couple

87
00:04:28,828 --> 00:04:31,828
Speaker 1: of weeks when he was dialing up some plays using

88
00:04:31,868 --> 00:04:35,228
Speaker 1: his athleticism, he really showed what he could do. And

89
00:04:35,268 --> 00:04:37,588
Speaker 1: I think that he's never going to be afforded an opportunity.

90
00:04:37,628 --> 00:04:40,668
Speaker 1: So that's where I think my biggest thing. I know

91
00:04:40,708 --> 00:04:42,628
Speaker 1: it's not the point of the conversation, but I'm very

92
00:04:42,668 --> 00:04:48,708
Speaker 1: curious how you landed on Candlebox? Were they booked solid? Okay,

93
00:04:48,828 --> 00:04:52,588
Speaker 1: we have opened a work. You had Candlebox on the bill,

94
00:04:52,988 --> 00:04:55,828
Speaker 1: and then nickel Back replaced them. You would have five

95
00:04:55,908 --> 00:04:59,148
Speaker 1: times as many regardless of equality. And I agree, Far

96
00:04:59,228 --> 00:05:01,628
Speaker 1: Behind is a great song. I can't name a second one,

97
00:05:01,708 --> 00:05:05,548
Speaker 1: but it's a very good song. So Baker Mayfield versus

98
00:05:05,588 --> 00:05:09,108
Speaker 1: Sam Dara, let's put up the statistical comparison of these

99
00:05:09,148 --> 00:05:13,588
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks over their time in the NFL so far. Obviously,

100
00:05:13,588 --> 00:05:16,108
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield has been a part of more winning games.

101
00:05:16,228 --> 00:05:18,628
Speaker 1: He also lost a bunch of games and played hurt

102
00:05:18,708 --> 00:05:20,588
Speaker 1: last year. We know the different things he was dealing with.

103
00:05:20,828 --> 00:05:23,148
Speaker 1: Maybe the biggest thing with him is the interception number.

104
00:05:23,148 --> 00:05:26,308
Speaker 1: They are the top two quarterbacks, the two highest interception

105
00:05:26,428 --> 00:05:29,348
Speaker 1: numbers Bard and Jared Goff, more than Jamis Winston over

106
00:05:29,388 --> 00:05:32,748
Speaker 1: these past several years. Here with Baker Mayfield, you just

107
00:05:32,748 --> 00:05:34,388
Speaker 1: want to see him rein it in at times that

108
00:05:34,508 --> 00:05:36,548
Speaker 1: was certainly a point of frustration. Again, a bunch of

109
00:05:36,548 --> 00:05:39,428
Speaker 1: those interceptions came last season, which with a bum shoulder

110
00:05:39,668 --> 00:05:41,828
Speaker 1: and a bum heel, he was playing through a lot

111
00:05:41,868 --> 00:05:44,228
Speaker 1: of pain. So a healthy Baker Mayfield, I know you're

112
00:05:44,348 --> 00:05:48,428
Speaker 1: driving this train, Rachel. A healthy Baker Mayfield in all likelihood,

113
00:05:48,468 --> 00:05:50,188
Speaker 1: can be a different quarterback that we saw in twenty

114
00:05:50,228 --> 00:05:52,108
Speaker 1: twenty one. All right, So in my turn, I've been

115
00:05:52,108 --> 00:05:54,868
Speaker 1: waiting all week to talk about this. Listen, you are

116
00:05:54,948 --> 00:05:58,788
Speaker 1: getting an upgrade in Baker, I think, skill level wise,

117
00:05:58,828 --> 00:06:01,348
Speaker 1: but also as a leader and as a person. He

118
00:06:01,388 --> 00:06:05,108
Speaker 1: came to Cleveland. Cleveland was a trochha. They hadn't won

119
00:06:05,188 --> 00:06:07,828
Speaker 1: him so long. He was excited to be there. He

120
00:06:07,948 --> 00:06:11,708
Speaker 1: took that team out of the actual dirt and lifted

121
00:06:11,748 --> 00:06:14,988
Speaker 1: them into the playoffs, which was insane. And I know

122
00:06:15,068 --> 00:06:16,988
Speaker 1: you just talked about the injuries. If you look at

123
00:06:16,988 --> 00:06:19,828
Speaker 1: what he did that year that they went to the

124
00:06:19,828 --> 00:06:22,708
Speaker 1: playoffs versus last season, it was obvious that he was hurt.

125
00:06:22,788 --> 00:06:24,428
Speaker 1: It was obvious that he was struggling. We all have

126
00:06:24,468 --> 00:06:27,708
Speaker 1: recency bias. We talked about football every single day that

127
00:06:28,148 --> 00:06:29,788
Speaker 1: last season in twenty twenty one. That's the one that

128
00:06:29,788 --> 00:06:32,228
Speaker 1: world focusing on. That's not the Baker that I know

129
00:06:32,348 --> 00:06:35,468
Speaker 1: and love. Okay, he wrote a letter to his city

130
00:06:35,588 --> 00:06:38,188
Speaker 1: that everyone absolutely hated, and I was just like, this

131
00:06:38,268 --> 00:06:41,468
Speaker 1: makes me gray. You're not just getting a better quarterback,

132
00:06:41,468 --> 00:06:43,388
Speaker 1: You're getting a leader. You're getting a good guy. People

133
00:06:43,428 --> 00:06:45,068
Speaker 1: love to hate him, people also love to love him.

134
00:06:45,148 --> 00:06:47,388
Speaker 1: So get behind him because I think he's going to

135
00:06:47,468 --> 00:06:49,068
Speaker 1: do some really special things in Carroll. And I would

136
00:06:49,068 --> 00:06:51,308
Speaker 1: also say this, remember Sam Darnold also on his fifth

137
00:06:51,388 --> 00:06:53,868
Speaker 1: year option, do over eighteen million dollars this season. Everything

138
00:06:53,908 --> 00:06:56,108
Speaker 1: that I've heard from Carolina is Sam has really been

139
00:06:56,108 --> 00:06:58,508
Speaker 1: better for the course this offseason. They liked what they've

140
00:06:58,508 --> 00:07:00,788
Speaker 1: seen in from him in practice. He who has just

141
00:07:00,828 --> 00:07:03,948
Speaker 1: been translating that to the games when things are moving quickly.

142
00:07:04,628 --> 00:07:06,468
Speaker 1: This is not just gonna be Baker walks in the door.

143
00:07:06,508 --> 00:07:08,148
Speaker 1: He's number one on the depth chart. It certainly would

144
00:07:08,188 --> 00:07:11,348
Speaker 1: seem to be leaning that way. You were saying, who's

145
00:07:11,348 --> 00:07:12,908
Speaker 1: it going to be in Week one? That's probably the

146
00:07:12,948 --> 00:07:14,508
Speaker 1: smart bet at this point, but they want to let

147
00:07:14,508 --> 00:07:16,468
Speaker 1: both those guys go at it here, and they feel

148
00:07:16,508 --> 00:07:18,268
Speaker 1: like when you're paying one guy eighteen million the other

149
00:07:18,268 --> 00:07:19,988
Speaker 1: guy five million, you're still paying a lot less at

150
00:07:19,988 --> 00:07:21,868
Speaker 1: the quarterback position than a lot of teams in the NFL.

151
00:07:21,948 --> 00:07:23,948
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the best possible situation for Baker

152
00:07:23,988 --> 00:07:25,468
Speaker 1: as well, though he seems like the kind of guy

153
00:07:25,508 --> 00:07:27,348
Speaker 1: that's gonna like that kind of challenge, and both of

154
00:07:27,388 --> 00:07:29,188
Speaker 1: them together, it's going to be like Caroline has got

155
00:07:29,188 --> 00:07:31,388
Speaker 1: a good situation on their hands. I think ticked off

156
00:07:31,428 --> 00:07:36,428
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield has generally been a good Baker's super important.

157
00:07:36,508 --> 00:07:38,708
Speaker 1: What's around them? The guys standing out with the obvious

158
00:07:39,188 --> 00:07:42,588
Speaker 1: Max Saho, there'd be big DJ Moore Robbie Anderson get

159
00:07:42,628 --> 00:07:44,868
Speaker 1: on the same page. Both of these quarterbacks need a

160
00:07:44,908 --> 00:07:47,708
Speaker 1: great system and players around him. So I'm interested to

161
00:07:47,708 --> 00:07:51,228
Speaker 1: see how creative Ben McAdoo can be as a office coordinators. World.

162
00:07:51,908 --> 00:07:54,068
Speaker 1: All right, it is a Monday In case you didn't know,

163
00:07:54,108 --> 00:07:56,028
Speaker 1: there's always a slew of topics to discuss from the

164
00:07:56,028 --> 00:07:58,108
Speaker 1: weekends on his time to put them together in another

165
00:07:58,228 --> 00:08:02,748
Speaker 1: edition of Monday mishmash, and I'm gonna lead this segment. Boys, Okay.

166
00:08:02,748 --> 00:08:05,308
Speaker 1: When asked about improving on his rookie season, Steelers tight

167
00:08:05,388 --> 00:08:08,748
Speaker 1: end Pat Freerman, I always screw up that name. Send

168
00:08:08,788 --> 00:08:11,188
Speaker 1: he plans to take his game to the next level.

169
00:08:12,748 --> 00:08:16,068
Speaker 1: Which player entering their sophomore season are you expecting the

170
00:08:16,108 --> 00:08:20,028
Speaker 1: biggest leap from Tom? I'm gonna say Trevor Lawrence number

171
00:08:20,028 --> 00:08:22,948
Speaker 1: one pick a year ago out of Clemson, goes to Jacksonville.

172
00:08:22,988 --> 00:08:25,668
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Trevor Lawrence, Urban Meyer. They're gonna take

173
00:08:25,708 --> 00:08:29,428
Speaker 1: the NFL by storm. One of those things definitively did

174
00:08:29,508 --> 00:08:32,468
Speaker 1: not happen with Trevor Lawrence, who at least saw glimpses

175
00:08:32,868 --> 00:08:36,028
Speaker 1: down the stretch of last season where Darryl Bevill and

176
00:08:36,068 --> 00:08:38,108
Speaker 1: Brian Shotenheimer really took over a lot of what they

177
00:08:38,108 --> 00:08:41,508
Speaker 1: were doing offensively. He played some pretty good football at

178
00:08:41,508 --> 00:08:43,628
Speaker 1: the end of the season. Let's look at some other

179
00:08:43,668 --> 00:08:47,668
Speaker 1: former number one overall picks who had rough rookie seasons.

180
00:08:47,748 --> 00:08:50,588
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is on that list, of course, Peyton Manning

181
00:08:50,628 --> 00:08:53,548
Speaker 1: one of the worst of all time. Tory Aikman endured

182
00:08:53,628 --> 00:08:57,668
Speaker 1: a winless first season as the Cowboys quarterback. So there's

183
00:08:57,748 --> 00:09:01,148
Speaker 1: president here for quarterbacks to go through a ton of

184
00:09:01,188 --> 00:09:04,108
Speaker 1: adversity out of the gate and turn things around. You

185
00:09:04,428 --> 00:09:07,748
Speaker 1: just have stability now in Jacksonville. The fact that you've

186
00:09:07,788 --> 00:09:10,788
Speaker 1: got guys like Doug Peterson and Press Taylor there, Jim

187
00:09:10,828 --> 00:09:13,668
Speaker 1: Bob Cooters on that staff. You've got some veteran coaches

188
00:09:13,668 --> 00:09:15,228
Speaker 1: who are going to be able to help get him

189
00:09:15,228 --> 00:09:17,388
Speaker 1: into a good place. Trevor Lawrence, we know it's a

190
00:09:17,388 --> 00:09:20,348
Speaker 1: really calm, cool customer. Would not think what happened last

191
00:09:20,388 --> 00:09:22,908
Speaker 1: season is going to shake him. And they spent quite

192
00:09:22,948 --> 00:09:25,028
Speaker 1: a bit of money to add some weapons around him. Toe.

193
00:09:25,308 --> 00:09:27,588
Speaker 1: I like that, and unfortunately he played his best football

194
00:09:27,588 --> 00:09:31,668
Speaker 1: against my coats last week. We need him not I

195
00:09:31,788 --> 00:09:35,788
Speaker 1: want to go out to La Sante Samuel Junior, but

196
00:09:35,828 --> 00:09:38,468
Speaker 1: he had a tremendous rookie year, and they made great

197
00:09:38,508 --> 00:09:40,908
Speaker 1: auditions on his team on his defense to help him out,

198
00:09:40,948 --> 00:09:44,188
Speaker 1: starting with Khalil mac upfront, coming off the edge. Pass

199
00:09:44,308 --> 00:09:47,708
Speaker 1: rushers are cornerbacks best friends. And then on the opposite

200
00:09:47,748 --> 00:09:50,068
Speaker 1: side of him, J. C. Jackson will be starting a

201
00:09:50,108 --> 00:09:53,108
Speaker 1: really smart, really talented corner who's gonna make a ton

202
00:09:53,148 --> 00:09:55,268
Speaker 1: of plays. But he'll be sitting that dB meeting room

203
00:09:55,468 --> 00:09:57,828
Speaker 1: with a Sante Samuel Jr. Day in and day out,

204
00:09:57,868 --> 00:09:59,668
Speaker 1: and he'll be soaking up more and more games. So

205
00:09:59,708 --> 00:10:02,108
Speaker 1: I'm excited about his game and the Charges of the

206
00:10:02,148 --> 00:10:05,548
Speaker 1: whole on defense this year. Worried about the Charges being

207
00:10:05,548 --> 00:10:08,228
Speaker 1: too good on defense because then my Justin Herbert take

208
00:10:08,348 --> 00:10:10,588
Speaker 1: might not work out. But one of the second year

209
00:10:10,628 --> 00:10:13,308
Speaker 1: guys I'm looking forward to seeing breakout this season is

210
00:10:13,388 --> 00:10:16,228
Speaker 1: Rondale Moore. I really look at this Cardinals offense and

211
00:10:16,228 --> 00:10:18,868
Speaker 1: with DeAndre Hopkins going to miss a couple of weeks

212
00:10:18,908 --> 00:10:21,068
Speaker 1: to start this season, who are they going to be

213
00:10:21,308 --> 00:10:24,068
Speaker 1: leaning on now? Obviously, Christian Kirk is one of those

214
00:10:24,068 --> 00:10:26,428
Speaker 1: players that Jacksonville Jaguar has spent a ton of money

215
00:10:26,468 --> 00:10:30,148
Speaker 1: on during the offseason. That leaves an opportunity for Rondale Moore,

216
00:10:30,148 --> 00:10:33,548
Speaker 1: who at times last season really flash some potential. And

217
00:10:33,588 --> 00:10:35,588
Speaker 1: if you look at the way this Cardinals team plays,

218
00:10:35,708 --> 00:10:38,788
Speaker 1: especially early in the season, I expect them to dial

219
00:10:38,868 --> 00:10:40,548
Speaker 1: up a lot of plays for him. So I'm excited

220
00:10:40,588 --> 00:10:42,508
Speaker 1: to see what he's going to be able to do

221
00:10:42,588 --> 00:10:44,868
Speaker 1: in year two. I'm gonna go Zack Wilson here. I

222
00:10:44,868 --> 00:10:50,028
Speaker 1: think the Jet Jets arguably won the draft this past season, right,

223
00:10:50,108 --> 00:10:53,148
Speaker 1: I don't dare say I'm a little hesitant to saying

224
00:10:53,148 --> 00:10:54,548
Speaker 1: that the Jets are going to come out and be

225
00:10:54,828 --> 00:10:57,268
Speaker 1: this incredible team. They've got an incredibly tough division, and

226
00:10:57,308 --> 00:11:00,148
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, ice cold Takes has got

227
00:10:59,628 --> 00:11:03,348
Speaker 1: a Google notification anytime anybody has a take about the Jets.

228
00:11:03,388 --> 00:11:05,748
Speaker 1: But I'm excited see what zech Wilson does this season

229
00:11:05,748 --> 00:11:08,948
Speaker 1: with all of his new weapons and that exciting team. Okay,

230
00:11:09,068 --> 00:11:11,708
Speaker 1: moving on, Davante Adams may have left Green Bay, but

231
00:11:11,788 --> 00:11:14,028
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean they won't have receivers to catch passes

232
00:11:14,068 --> 00:11:16,748
Speaker 1: this season. Packers wide receiver at Mary Rogers told reporters

233
00:11:16,748 --> 00:11:19,748
Speaker 1: he's showing his coaches they can trust me no matter

234
00:11:19,788 --> 00:11:22,868
Speaker 1: what situation. So which lesser known player should a team

235
00:11:22,908 --> 00:11:25,148
Speaker 1: be trusting more in twenty twenty two. I'm going to

236
00:11:25,188 --> 00:11:27,108
Speaker 1: look to the Cleveland Browns here, of course, made a

237
00:11:27,148 --> 00:11:29,908
Speaker 1: big move for a Marie Cooper in a offseason full

238
00:11:29,948 --> 00:11:32,188
Speaker 1: of big moves at that wide receiver position. I want

239
00:11:32,188 --> 00:11:34,228
Speaker 1: to talk about another receiver on that team, and it's

240
00:11:34,348 --> 00:11:37,788
Speaker 1: Donovan People's Jones. Go back to last season, he tripled

241
00:11:37,828 --> 00:11:40,668
Speaker 1: his targets from his rookie year, went from fourteen catches

242
00:11:40,868 --> 00:11:44,708
Speaker 1: to thirty four. Also, among all players over the past

243
00:11:44,748 --> 00:11:47,508
Speaker 1: two seasons, there's only one guy in the NFL who

244
00:11:47,508 --> 00:11:50,188
Speaker 1: has averaged more yards per catch, and that is Markquez

245
00:11:50,228 --> 00:11:52,028
Speaker 1: Valdez Scanley, another guy who was going to be going

246
00:11:52,028 --> 00:11:53,828
Speaker 1: to a new team this year in Kansas City, trying

247
00:11:53,868 --> 00:11:56,148
Speaker 1: to help fill the void left by Tyree Kill. Donovan

248
00:11:56,188 --> 00:12:00,268
Speaker 1: People's Jones ranks number two on that list. He is

249
00:12:00,308 --> 00:12:02,668
Speaker 1: a big play threat. With a Marie Cooper, you know

250
00:12:02,748 --> 00:12:04,868
Speaker 1: that he's going to get more attention. Here they're still

251
00:12:04,868 --> 00:12:07,108
Speaker 1: figuring out kind of how the receiver group fits together,

252
00:12:07,148 --> 00:12:10,148
Speaker 1: and post Odell Beckham junior era, I would anticipate Donovan

253
00:12:10,148 --> 00:12:12,588
Speaker 1: People's Jones a big part of that nice going down

254
00:12:12,628 --> 00:12:15,268
Speaker 1: to Jerry's world, and this player is not lesser know.

255
00:12:15,388 --> 00:12:17,868
Speaker 1: I think everybody knows this player, especially in fantasy world.

256
00:12:17,868 --> 00:12:20,668
Speaker 1: But Tony Pollard running back down there in Dallas, I

257
00:12:20,708 --> 00:12:23,308
Speaker 1: think he just needs more touches. You have RONI eleven

258
00:12:23,428 --> 00:12:25,748
Speaker 1: touches last year per game. I think you need to

259
00:12:25,748 --> 00:12:28,868
Speaker 1: bump that up to least fourteen fifteen. Guy averages five

260
00:12:28,908 --> 00:12:31,908
Speaker 1: and a half yard security and he's explosive as a defense.

261
00:12:32,028 --> 00:12:34,028
Speaker 1: That's a guy that you're worried about coming into the week,

262
00:12:34,108 --> 00:12:36,428
Speaker 1: coming into the game. You can handle the ball off

263
00:12:36,428 --> 00:12:38,428
Speaker 1: to him on speed sweeps, you can get him the

264
00:12:38,468 --> 00:12:40,548
Speaker 1: screen game, you can get him, you can line him

265
00:12:40,628 --> 00:12:42,868
Speaker 1: up at receiver. He is just a spark out there

266
00:12:42,908 --> 00:12:44,668
Speaker 1: on offense for the Cowboys. So I would love to

267
00:12:44,668 --> 00:12:47,028
Speaker 1: see him get more touches throughout this year. Yeah. We

268
00:12:47,028 --> 00:12:50,308
Speaker 1: were talking to Derek Carr after that Thanksgiving game against

269
00:12:50,348 --> 00:12:52,948
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys and they said, coming into that contest,

270
00:12:53,148 --> 00:12:55,068
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard was the guy that they were the most

271
00:12:55,068 --> 00:12:56,868
Speaker 1: concerned about. I agree with that. I think that he

272
00:12:56,908 --> 00:12:59,828
Speaker 1: can end up being especially losing a bunch of pass catchers,

273
00:12:59,828 --> 00:13:01,428
Speaker 1: he could end up being one of their top pass

274
00:13:01,468 --> 00:13:04,268
Speaker 1: catchers this season. And speaking of pass catchers, I'm gonna

275
00:13:04,308 --> 00:13:06,828
Speaker 1: go of the Minnesota Vikings. I was saying bad things

276
00:13:06,828 --> 00:13:09,508
Speaker 1: about Kirk. Yeah, we really I'll try to make it up.

277
00:13:11,548 --> 00:13:13,548
Speaker 1: I really, I really like IRV Smith. I think that

278
00:13:13,588 --> 00:13:15,908
Speaker 1: he has an opportunity here. Obviously he's coming back from

279
00:13:15,948 --> 00:13:19,428
Speaker 1: a knee injury, but with Kevin O'Connell dialing up the

280
00:13:19,508 --> 00:13:21,348
Speaker 1: offense this season, I think there's going to be an

281
00:13:21,388 --> 00:13:23,348
Speaker 1: opportunity for him. I know they're probably gonna want to

282
00:13:23,388 --> 00:13:25,308
Speaker 1: run the ball a little bit more, but I think

283
00:13:25,348 --> 00:13:27,428
Speaker 1: that IRV Smith has a lot of potential when you

284
00:13:27,468 --> 00:13:30,268
Speaker 1: have a receiver group that includes one of the best

285
00:13:30,308 --> 00:13:33,388
Speaker 1: in the game, justin Jefferson Adam feelings still great, kJ

286
00:13:33,588 --> 00:13:36,468
Speaker 1: Osborne doing really well. I think that IRV Smith, not

287
00:13:36,588 --> 00:13:39,308
Speaker 1: necessarily in a fantasy sense, but in the sense of

288
00:13:39,348 --> 00:13:44,068
Speaker 1: like making crucial catches, moving the chains, being a factor

289
00:13:44,108 --> 00:13:45,948
Speaker 1: when they get near the goal line. I think that

290
00:13:45,948 --> 00:13:48,348
Speaker 1: he could actually have a little breakout this season. He's

291
00:13:48,348 --> 00:13:50,148
Speaker 1: one of the guys that I'm keeping my eye. So

292
00:13:50,308 --> 00:13:53,668
Speaker 1: you really believe in the I because when they're losing

293
00:13:53,708 --> 00:13:55,788
Speaker 1: a bunch of games, then here he comes. I'll coming

294
00:13:55,828 --> 00:13:57,988
Speaker 1: to Jacks on Good Morning Football. One will it take

295
00:13:58,068 --> 00:13:59,628
Speaker 1: for Jack and the Boys to join the rest of

296
00:13:59,668 --> 00:14:01,988
Speaker 1: the NFC. You're going to talk about that and more

297
00:14:02,028 --> 00:14:16,948
Speaker 1: after the breakdown. Coin of everyone looks Fanny past. Okay,

298
00:14:16,948 --> 00:14:20,348
Speaker 1: we start with the Cowboys. They're a quarterback. Dak Prescott

299
00:14:20,388 --> 00:14:22,708
Speaker 1: held his annual kids camp at the Star and Frisco

300
00:14:22,788 --> 00:14:25,068
Speaker 1: over the weekend and with training camp just around the corner,

301
00:14:25,108 --> 00:14:28,148
Speaker 1: he told reporters that he is in the best shape

302
00:14:28,228 --> 00:14:30,388
Speaker 1: he has ever been in and it is time to

303
00:14:30,508 --> 00:14:33,188
Speaker 1: ramp it up and get it going. So Dak joins

304
00:14:33,308 --> 00:14:36,188
Speaker 1: the lengthy list of players who are currently in the

305
00:14:36,228 --> 00:14:38,388
Speaker 1: best shape ever. Everyone kind of says that around this

306
00:14:38,468 --> 00:14:41,588
Speaker 1: time right as the time honored offseason tradition. But what

307
00:14:41,788 --> 00:14:45,988
Speaker 1: shape are the Cowboys in? Because when we talk about

308
00:14:45,988 --> 00:14:49,628
Speaker 1: the NFC, it is the heavyweights, the Rams, Bucks, and Packers,

309
00:14:49,708 --> 00:14:52,348
Speaker 1: and then a drop off. So how can Dallas join

310
00:14:52,428 --> 00:14:54,588
Speaker 1: that top shelf of the NFC this season? Well, I

311
00:14:54,588 --> 00:14:56,508
Speaker 1: would think the biggest key is when in some of

312
00:14:56,508 --> 00:14:58,828
Speaker 1: those big games when you played last year, they opened

313
00:14:58,908 --> 00:15:02,388
Speaker 1: up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, did not win that contest.

314
00:15:02,548 --> 00:15:04,908
Speaker 1: You gotta beat those big squads of wise, you're not

315
00:15:04,908 --> 00:15:07,308
Speaker 1: going to be considered one of the heavyweights of the NFC,

316
00:15:07,428 --> 00:15:09,388
Speaker 1: and you take a look at what they did last season,

317
00:15:09,868 --> 00:15:14,628
Speaker 1: perfect against the NFC East forty points, although two of

318
00:15:14,628 --> 00:15:16,508
Speaker 1: those games were against the Eagles where they put up

319
00:15:16,548 --> 00:15:19,028
Speaker 1: half a hundred on them twice. But you gotta go

320
00:15:19,068 --> 00:15:21,348
Speaker 1: out there and make some noise against some of the

321
00:15:21,388 --> 00:15:22,908
Speaker 1: big boys. To me, it's kind of like one of

322
00:15:22,908 --> 00:15:25,908
Speaker 1: those small schools like Boise State. Like it's cool that

323
00:15:25,988 --> 00:15:28,268
Speaker 1: you're dominating the Mountain West, but at some point when

324
00:15:28,308 --> 00:15:29,668
Speaker 1: you go up against one of the Power of five

325
00:15:29,708 --> 00:15:31,228
Speaker 1: schools and I know they've done it in the past,

326
00:15:31,428 --> 00:15:34,908
Speaker 1: beat Oklahoma and the fiestable, So do that also maybe

327
00:15:34,988 --> 00:15:37,348
Speaker 1: mixing a playoff win too, that would be you know,

328
00:15:37,388 --> 00:15:38,988
Speaker 1: that was one of the reasons why they got rid

329
00:15:38,988 --> 00:15:41,308
Speaker 1: of Jason Garrett as that they were struggling to win

330
00:15:41,828 --> 00:15:44,668
Speaker 1: in key moments and so Mike McCarthy and them saw

331
00:15:44,708 --> 00:15:46,468
Speaker 1: him that they got to start winning some big games.

332
00:15:46,668 --> 00:15:49,188
Speaker 1: Club was won twelve games last season, Like, let's not

333
00:15:49,268 --> 00:15:50,908
Speaker 1: lose sight of the fact that that was a really

334
00:15:50,948 --> 00:15:54,428
Speaker 1: good football team. So I don't know about elite tiers

335
00:15:54,588 --> 00:15:57,788
Speaker 1: or who the competitors are, because every year things changed.

336
00:15:57,788 --> 00:15:59,308
Speaker 1: You wouldn't have thought the forty niners were one of

337
00:15:59,348 --> 00:16:01,508
Speaker 1: the best teams until the stretch run of last season.

338
00:16:01,788 --> 00:16:04,108
Speaker 1: Obviously they became the team everybody was fearful of. And

339
00:16:04,668 --> 00:16:06,908
Speaker 1: for a weird sequence at the end of that game

340
00:16:06,948 --> 00:16:09,468
Speaker 1: in Dallas, in a ball that was spotted, then respotted,

341
00:16:09,468 --> 00:16:10,868
Speaker 1: and then everybody backed off and they never got to

342
00:16:10,908 --> 00:16:13,948
Speaker 1: spike the ball. They quite possibly win that game and

343
00:16:14,068 --> 00:16:16,188
Speaker 1: go on in the postseason to be the One of

344
00:16:16,188 --> 00:16:18,188
Speaker 1: the biggest keys for Dallas this season is just seeing

345
00:16:18,188 --> 00:16:20,948
Speaker 1: the evolution of their young wide receivers. Because Amari Cooper

346
00:16:21,068 --> 00:16:23,668
Speaker 1: is now in Cleveland, Ceedee Lamb really stepped in and

347
00:16:23,868 --> 00:16:25,748
Speaker 1: was that number one receiver last season. He played a

348
00:16:25,788 --> 00:16:29,228
Speaker 1: lot more outside after spending his rookie season in the slot.

349
00:16:29,268 --> 00:16:31,028
Speaker 1: He's gonna have that much more pressure on him. And

350
00:16:31,068 --> 00:16:33,668
Speaker 1: of course to Michael Gallup, who they were able to resign.

351
00:16:33,948 --> 00:16:35,748
Speaker 1: He's gonna be coming off of an injury. We'll see

352
00:16:35,788 --> 00:16:38,828
Speaker 1: exactly when he's one hundred percent. But those two guys

353
00:16:38,948 --> 00:16:41,628
Speaker 1: now carrying that low it's gonna be a little bit

354
00:16:41,668 --> 00:16:44,268
Speaker 1: different dynamic than it was when Cooper was out there. Yeah. Well,

355
00:16:44,308 --> 00:16:46,628
Speaker 1: I had a long laundry list for the Cowboys and

356
00:16:46,668 --> 00:16:48,628
Speaker 1: what they could do. But I'm just gonna sta I'm

357
00:16:48,628 --> 00:16:51,068
Speaker 1: going to start with the quarterback. Obviously, dak Prescott, like

358
00:16:51,108 --> 00:16:53,308
Speaker 1: you said, one twelve games, but I think him it's

359
00:16:53,308 --> 00:16:55,588
Speaker 1: time for him to jump up into that top five

360
00:16:55,668 --> 00:16:58,708
Speaker 1: quarterback talk like, really play like it in the big games,

361
00:16:58,708 --> 00:17:01,028
Speaker 1: in the big moments. Obviously building every pool with Ceedee,

362
00:17:01,068 --> 00:17:03,788
Speaker 1: Lamb and gallop. He really has to make that jump,

363
00:17:03,988 --> 00:17:06,188
Speaker 1: Mike Karthy. He has to handle the clock better. You know.

364
00:17:06,188 --> 00:17:08,588
Speaker 1: It seems like a little thing, but it showed up

365
00:17:08,628 --> 00:17:10,748
Speaker 1: big in the biggest moment at home and they should

366
00:17:10,748 --> 00:17:13,268
Speaker 1: have won that playoff game. On the defensive side of

367
00:17:13,268 --> 00:17:16,348
Speaker 1: the ball, Michael Parsons had an unbelievable rookie year doing

368
00:17:16,428 --> 00:17:18,988
Speaker 1: he did off the ball in rushing the passer. If

369
00:17:18,988 --> 00:17:21,908
Speaker 1: I'm that decordinator, I'll send e Levin after that passer

370
00:17:22,108 --> 00:17:24,708
Speaker 1: a lot more. He's one of the those fearfood pass

371
00:17:24,828 --> 00:17:26,548
Speaker 1: rusher in the league. If you just send him off

372
00:17:26,588 --> 00:17:28,668
Speaker 1: that edge you know, every play, playing in playouts, so

373
00:17:28,748 --> 00:17:31,108
Speaker 1: they do those things. I think Dallas Cowboys can definitely

374
00:17:31,148 --> 00:17:33,268
Speaker 1: jump into the big dogs with the NFC is it's

375
00:17:33,268 --> 00:17:34,868
Speaker 1: wide open. I'd agree with you, and I love what

376
00:17:34,948 --> 00:17:36,908
Speaker 1: you said about Dakie. It's it's time for him to

377
00:17:36,948 --> 00:17:39,268
Speaker 1: be in that conversation of the top five. I kind

378
00:17:39,268 --> 00:17:41,388
Speaker 1: of love that he's come out and says, I know

379
00:17:41,468 --> 00:17:44,428
Speaker 1: every single year we're all like, oh, best shaven may win. Yeah,

380
00:17:44,548 --> 00:17:48,348
Speaker 1: same guys. No, but Dak is kind of putting his

381
00:17:48,388 --> 00:17:50,188
Speaker 1: money where his mouth is. Look at what the rest

382
00:17:50,228 --> 00:17:52,388
Speaker 1: of the quote was. I got a pet in the

383
00:17:52,428 --> 00:17:54,628
Speaker 1: off season, someone I've worked with throughout the last year.

384
00:17:54,828 --> 00:17:57,868
Speaker 1: I've paid him, made him full time. He is my guy.

385
00:17:57,908 --> 00:18:00,468
Speaker 1: Whether it's vacation or not, he comes with me. We

386
00:18:00,508 --> 00:18:03,068
Speaker 1: work on these movements and stretches. I feel like since

387
00:18:03,108 --> 00:18:05,788
Speaker 1: the injury, I've trained more functional than I ever have.

388
00:18:05,988 --> 00:18:08,268
Speaker 1: So I see it in my body. I see it

389
00:18:08,308 --> 00:18:09,748
Speaker 1: in the way I move and how the ball is

390
00:18:09,788 --> 00:18:12,148
Speaker 1: coming up. This is giving me Tom Brady vibes. Yeah,

391
00:18:12,148 --> 00:18:14,708
Speaker 1: this is giving me taking care of my body before

392
00:18:14,788 --> 00:18:17,548
Speaker 1: it is completely broken down. He is putting in that work.

393
00:18:17,548 --> 00:18:20,508
Speaker 1: This guy is with him twenty four seven. I'm kind

394
00:18:20,508 --> 00:18:23,788
Speaker 1: of surprised that he's just doing this now a little bit,

395
00:18:23,828 --> 00:18:25,708
Speaker 1: but he's with him all the time that we can

396
00:18:25,748 --> 00:18:29,468
Speaker 1: see a totally different Dak Prescott this year. Like absolutely

397
00:18:29,548 --> 00:18:33,028
Speaker 1: Jack eating only avocados. I'm kind of signing no tomatoes.

398
00:18:36,708 --> 00:18:40,148
Speaker 1: Shoulder and shoulder injury last year, So getting getting that

399
00:18:40,148 --> 00:18:42,468
Speaker 1: that full time PT is huge. Like you said, Brady,

400
00:18:42,508 --> 00:18:45,468
Speaker 1: obviously he's done it forever, the TV twelve method. Yeah,

401
00:18:45,468 --> 00:18:47,628
Speaker 1: a guy like Russell Wilson. I saw him at the

402
00:18:47,668 --> 00:18:49,668
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl bumping to him in the hotel. He's in

403
00:18:49,708 --> 00:18:53,308
Speaker 1: the hotel weight room with like three or four trainers

404
00:18:53,388 --> 00:18:54,748
Speaker 1: or team. So this is what you have to do

405
00:18:54,788 --> 00:18:57,188
Speaker 1: if you're a top tier quarterback. And I'm glad he's

406
00:18:57,228 --> 00:18:59,468
Speaker 1: taking those other steps off the field. The other thing

407
00:18:59,468 --> 00:19:01,668
Speaker 1: that you hear with Dak Prescott is he wants to

408
00:19:01,708 --> 00:19:05,348
Speaker 1: do everything one hundred miles an hour. All he is

409
00:19:05,388 --> 00:19:07,988
Speaker 1: going to push himself and do extra reps and take

410
00:19:08,108 --> 00:19:10,588
Speaker 1: extra time. You watch him in practice and you see it.

411
00:19:10,668 --> 00:19:13,468
Speaker 1: But then at some point there is a hey, you know,

412
00:19:13,748 --> 00:19:17,108
Speaker 1: guard against overuse and manage your body. So having somebody

413
00:19:17,108 --> 00:19:19,228
Speaker 1: with him full time, you certainly would think will be

414
00:19:19,268 --> 00:19:21,748
Speaker 1: something that would be helpful. Last year, we forget, not

415
00:19:21,788 --> 00:19:25,428
Speaker 1: only was he coming off of that gruesome ankle, but

416
00:19:25,508 --> 00:19:28,228
Speaker 1: he has the shoulder early in training camp and then

417
00:19:28,308 --> 00:19:31,108
Speaker 1: can't practice. Then he tweaked something else in his ankle.

418
00:19:31,228 --> 00:19:34,068
Speaker 1: He didn't practice, He barely had camp, he didn't have

419
00:19:34,108 --> 00:19:36,308
Speaker 1: the preseason. He still came out played at a really

420
00:19:36,388 --> 00:19:39,748
Speaker 1: high level. They won twelve games. I absolutely anticipate that

421
00:19:39,788 --> 00:19:42,508
Speaker 1: we're going to see the best of Dak Prescott. Does

422
00:19:42,508 --> 00:19:45,988
Speaker 1: that translate into the Cowboys making a deep playoff run?

423
00:19:46,028 --> 00:19:48,708
Speaker 1: They certainly hope. So it's not all on deck though.

424
00:19:48,708 --> 00:19:52,588
Speaker 1: Thank you. Buckle up. Okay to sty for a segment.

425
00:19:52,708 --> 00:19:56,308
Speaker 1: We are calling the Checklist. As the new season quickly approaches,

426
00:19:56,388 --> 00:19:58,268
Speaker 1: we are going to check in with every team in

427
00:19:58,428 --> 00:20:00,588
Speaker 1: every division and lay out what they need to do

428
00:20:00,628 --> 00:20:02,828
Speaker 1: to find success in twenty twenty two. Today we are

429
00:20:02,868 --> 00:20:05,948
Speaker 1: focusing on the NFL. See North areus? You will first

430
00:20:05,948 --> 00:20:08,588
Speaker 1: give us your checklist for the Packers to have a

431
00:20:08,628 --> 00:20:12,108
Speaker 1: successful season this year. Go Pack Go. They got the

432
00:20:12,148 --> 00:20:16,348
Speaker 1: back to back MVP under center. But their checklist, Oh,

433
00:20:17,588 --> 00:20:20,868
Speaker 1: we'll start with their receivers. We need to develop some

434
00:20:20,988 --> 00:20:25,068
Speaker 1: go to guys with an as plural for Aaron Rodgers.

435
00:20:25,068 --> 00:20:27,508
Speaker 1: You saw Davantae Adams, obviously a tremendous talent. He went

436
00:20:27,548 --> 00:20:29,868
Speaker 1: over to Vegas, but there were times where he would

437
00:20:29,868 --> 00:20:31,988
Speaker 1: get stuck on Davontae Adam. We had Jimmy Ward on

438
00:20:31,988 --> 00:20:34,108
Speaker 1: the podcast The Man and man pod, and he talked

439
00:20:34,108 --> 00:20:35,788
Speaker 1: about that was the game plan. Hey, we take away

440
00:20:35,828 --> 00:20:39,148
Speaker 1: seventeen early and IRA can get in some trouble. Give

441
00:20:39,188 --> 00:20:40,788
Speaker 1: our d lines some time to get after them. So

442
00:20:40,868 --> 00:20:45,788
Speaker 1: develop those guys. Improved situational defense. You got great defensive players.

443
00:20:45,988 --> 00:20:50,028
Speaker 1: You locked up Alexander Shane Gary came along, Eric Stokes

444
00:20:50,068 --> 00:20:52,788
Speaker 1: had a great rookie year. But situationally, third down in

445
00:20:52,828 --> 00:20:55,508
Speaker 1: the red area and defense, those are critical for the

446
00:20:55,508 --> 00:20:57,948
Speaker 1: Packers success. Earned the top seed in the NFC like

447
00:20:57,988 --> 00:21:00,988
Speaker 1: they did last year, and actually win and take advantage

448
00:21:00,988 --> 00:21:03,468
Speaker 1: of the home fielding in playoffs and then win the

449
00:21:03,468 --> 00:21:06,068
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. You got the back, you got the hit.

450
00:21:06,148 --> 00:21:08,308
Speaker 1: Coach this, I mean, that's the goal. You're super Bowl

451
00:21:08,388 --> 00:21:11,188
Speaker 1: the bus for this Packer team. All right, let's go

452
00:21:11,308 --> 00:21:15,828
Speaker 1: to their besties, Bears. What do you got the Chicago Bears. Yes,

453
00:21:16,028 --> 00:21:19,108
Speaker 1: this is the checklist. Don't get owned by Aaron Rodgers. No, seriously,

454
00:21:19,388 --> 00:21:21,108
Speaker 1: I think it's very simple for the Bears. What you

455
00:21:21,108 --> 00:21:23,788
Speaker 1: want to do this season is develop justin Field and

456
00:21:23,948 --> 00:21:27,188
Speaker 1: prove that he's the quarterback of the future. One of

457
00:21:27,188 --> 00:21:30,668
Speaker 1: the ways of doing that is develop consistency on the

458
00:21:30,708 --> 00:21:32,788
Speaker 1: offensive line. The Bears have put a couple of high

459
00:21:32,868 --> 00:21:36,228
Speaker 1: draft picks on offensive tackles in recent years, they put

460
00:21:36,228 --> 00:21:39,308
Speaker 1: a lot of guys out there immediately, and so to me,

461
00:21:39,468 --> 00:21:42,308
Speaker 1: I know that we talked about this areas. The twenty

462
00:21:42,548 --> 00:21:45,148
Speaker 1: twenty two draft picks provided a future for the second area.

463
00:21:45,148 --> 00:21:49,468
Speaker 1: They used two second rounders on a corner Kyler Gordon

464
00:21:49,708 --> 00:21:54,868
Speaker 1: and the Kwan Brisker in the safety position, and Alis

465
00:21:54,948 --> 00:21:57,388
Speaker 1: Jones Jr. My best friend who was on my podcast.

466
00:21:57,908 --> 00:22:00,148
Speaker 1: I think that if he can develop into a nice receiver,

467
00:22:00,588 --> 00:22:02,988
Speaker 1: I think that he could be a benefit for the Bears.

468
00:22:03,228 --> 00:22:06,148
Speaker 1: What are the things about him? Is he spent a

469
00:22:06,148 --> 00:22:08,748
Speaker 1: lot of time in college. I get that, but he

470
00:22:08,868 --> 00:22:11,588
Speaker 1: developed his craft and to me, when you went back

471
00:22:11,588 --> 00:22:14,948
Speaker 1: and watched his tape at Tennessee, he is a completely

472
00:22:14,988 --> 00:22:17,148
Speaker 1: different player than what we saw at USC. He was

473
00:22:17,188 --> 00:22:19,628
Speaker 1: a big play guy in USC. He had a great

474
00:22:19,948 --> 00:22:22,588
Speaker 1: catch and run against UCLA one year, but when he

475
00:22:22,708 --> 00:22:26,068
Speaker 1: watched him at Tennessee, his route running really stood out.

476
00:22:26,108 --> 00:22:28,828
Speaker 1: He really worked on that end. He played his best

477
00:22:28,948 --> 00:22:31,948
Speaker 1: games against the biggest competition when he was going up

478
00:22:31,988 --> 00:22:35,628
Speaker 1: against teams like Alabama and Georgia. That's when Valis Jones

479
00:22:35,708 --> 00:22:39,548
Speaker 1: Junior came to play that's what the Bears fan whatever.

480
00:22:39,868 --> 00:22:42,548
Speaker 1: I will say, though, like developing a team, if the

481
00:22:42,588 --> 00:22:46,268
Speaker 1: defense is better, if Gordon and Brisker are better this season,

482
00:22:46,548 --> 00:22:48,948
Speaker 1: that Bears team will be more competitive. They left three

483
00:22:48,988 --> 00:22:52,028
Speaker 1: wins on the table last year against Baltimore, Pittsburgh and

484
00:22:52,028 --> 00:22:54,068
Speaker 1: against the San Francisco forty nine ers that had the

485
00:22:54,148 --> 00:22:56,348
Speaker 1: defense played well, they would have won those games. And

486
00:22:56,348 --> 00:22:58,388
Speaker 1: then that means Matt Naggie might still be the coach.

487
00:22:58,428 --> 00:23:01,268
Speaker 1: But listen, I think the Bears are better situated than

488
00:23:01,308 --> 00:23:03,588
Speaker 1: a lot of people are giving them credit for Kings,

489
00:23:03,868 --> 00:23:06,228
Speaker 1: what are you? What's your checklist? Huge changes for the

490
00:23:06,308 --> 00:23:08,268
Speaker 1: Vikings for the course this offseason. You got a new

491
00:23:08,308 --> 00:23:11,188
Speaker 1: front office, you have a new coaching staff, a lot

492
00:23:11,268 --> 00:23:13,388
Speaker 1: of the same players. Though, so to me, it starts

493
00:23:13,388 --> 00:23:16,548
Speaker 1: out at the quarterback position with let Kirk be Kirk.

494
00:23:16,948 --> 00:23:20,468
Speaker 1: You have a quarterback who statistically is a top ten

495
00:23:20,588 --> 00:23:23,668
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL. I know every knock against Kirk Cousins.

496
00:23:23,868 --> 00:23:26,268
Speaker 1: I've watched him play a lot live. Is he going

497
00:23:26,308 --> 00:23:29,068
Speaker 1: to be the most mobile quarterback and create off schedule? No?

498
00:23:29,188 --> 00:23:31,628
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be a type a leader? No? But

499
00:23:31,828 --> 00:23:34,508
Speaker 1: he's really efficient with what he does and he showed

500
00:23:34,588 --> 00:23:37,788
Speaker 1: last season in some big time crunched moments that he

501
00:23:37,948 --> 00:23:41,068
Speaker 1: is able to get something going offensively. So Kevin O'Connell's

502
00:23:41,068 --> 00:23:43,268
Speaker 1: going to bring in some new ideas. Let Kirk do

503
00:23:43,468 --> 00:23:45,868
Speaker 1: his piece, don't have him be something he's not. Let

504
00:23:45,948 --> 00:23:49,548
Speaker 1: him do his thing. Second one, maximize Justin Jefferson. You've

505
00:23:49,548 --> 00:23:51,508
Speaker 1: got a receiver right now, He's got over three thousand

506
00:23:51,588 --> 00:23:54,308
Speaker 1: yards the first two seasons in the NFL. He just

507
00:23:54,388 --> 00:23:58,148
Speaker 1: turned twenty three years old. Having watched him a lot live,

508
00:23:58,708 --> 00:24:01,668
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced that there's a better receiver in the NFL,

509
00:24:01,748 --> 00:24:04,028
Speaker 1: not a better young receiver. He might be the best

510
00:24:04,068 --> 00:24:07,308
Speaker 1: first fever in the NFL. Now he's going to an

511
00:24:07,348 --> 00:24:09,028
Speaker 1: offense and still is going to run the football at

512
00:24:09,068 --> 00:24:10,948
Speaker 1: Ton Delvin Coats can be a huge piece of it.

513
00:24:11,148 --> 00:24:13,308
Speaker 1: But you would think there's gonna be more opportunities for

514
00:24:13,348 --> 00:24:16,028
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, who, by the way, eligible for a contract

515
00:24:16,028 --> 00:24:19,508
Speaker 1: extension after this season. He's gonna want to see what

516
00:24:19,668 --> 00:24:22,228
Speaker 1: his role is going to be, decide where he wants

517
00:24:22,268 --> 00:24:23,748
Speaker 1: to be, and the team's can have to assess that

518
00:24:23,788 --> 00:24:26,548
Speaker 1: going forward as well. And then the last piece of

519
00:24:26,588 --> 00:24:29,428
Speaker 1: this to me is hit the ground running on defense.

520
00:24:29,468 --> 00:24:32,788
Speaker 1: This is a very veteran defensive unit. New scheme. They're

521
00:24:32,788 --> 00:24:34,948
Speaker 1: playing a three four for the first time since like

522
00:24:34,988 --> 00:24:38,988
Speaker 1: the eighties, but it's still Harrison Smith and Eric Kendricks

523
00:24:39,028 --> 00:24:40,668
Speaker 1: and the Neil Hunter. They're gonna be asked to do

524
00:24:40,748 --> 00:24:44,028
Speaker 1: some different things, and Donna Tell's a veteran defensive coordinator.

525
00:24:44,068 --> 00:24:45,788
Speaker 1: You would anticipate that this this can be a really well

526
00:24:45,868 --> 00:24:48,308
Speaker 1: coached group, but there are gonna be some growing pains

527
00:24:48,308 --> 00:24:51,348
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to get over because they've got several

528
00:24:51,348 --> 00:24:54,708
Speaker 1: They've got three home division games. I believe in the

529
00:24:54,748 --> 00:24:57,508
Speaker 1: first five weeks of the season that's a good opportunity

530
00:24:57,508 --> 00:24:59,908
Speaker 1: to get it ahead and also a possibility you could

531
00:24:59,908 --> 00:25:02,268
Speaker 1: fall behind. I love that. I also love Justin Jefferson.

532
00:25:02,388 --> 00:25:04,668
Speaker 1: He's on my podcast at the super Bowl and you

533
00:25:04,708 --> 00:25:07,228
Speaker 1: could just tell how upset he was to be there

534
00:25:07,268 --> 00:25:09,308
Speaker 1: at the super Bowl and not in the super Bowl.

535
00:25:09,308 --> 00:25:10,988
Speaker 1: He's so young, he's so talented. I can't wait to

536
00:25:11,028 --> 00:25:13,428
Speaker 1: see what he does. All right, I got the Lions

537
00:25:13,468 --> 00:25:15,868
Speaker 1: with the twenty twenty two season. Here is my checklist.

538
00:25:16,108 --> 00:25:19,068
Speaker 1: I believe Vegas has them about six and a half wins,

539
00:25:19,308 --> 00:25:22,108
Speaker 1: win more than that. Detroit get over six and a

540
00:25:22,108 --> 00:25:25,428
Speaker 1: half wins. You haven't done that since twenty seventeen. Okay,

541
00:25:25,828 --> 00:25:28,148
Speaker 1: my second thing on the checklist. Coach Campbell, Please, for

542
00:25:28,148 --> 00:25:31,068
Speaker 1: the love of God, stop drinking so much coffee. Okay,

543
00:25:31,268 --> 00:25:34,228
Speaker 1: no more biting me caps, no more, no more of this. Okay.

544
00:25:34,268 --> 00:25:37,228
Speaker 1: We need you around. You're one of my favorite coaches

545
00:25:37,268 --> 00:25:39,388
Speaker 1: in the entirety of the NFL. We need you to

546
00:25:40,148 --> 00:25:44,988
Speaker 1: stay upright. So maybe chill out on the triple espressos,

547
00:25:45,988 --> 00:25:49,028
Speaker 1: three hard knocks. You need to give me some good stuff.

548
00:25:49,148 --> 00:25:51,588
Speaker 1: Give us a hard knocks to remember. I am craving

549
00:25:51,588 --> 00:25:54,188
Speaker 1: football so bad. I think we all are at this table.

550
00:25:54,308 --> 00:25:56,668
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks is kind of our first glimpse into the season.

551
00:25:56,748 --> 00:26:00,028
Speaker 1: Please give us a good season, Dan Campbell, that team

552
00:26:00,308 --> 00:26:02,708
Speaker 1: all those first advise someone not to drink so much

553
00:26:02,748 --> 00:26:06,028
Speaker 1: Catheine Rachel. I'm actually drinking tea and I'm taking it

554
00:26:06,188 --> 00:26:12,068
Speaker 1: slowly today. This is where you're coming down, all right,

555
00:26:12,108 --> 00:26:17,868
Speaker 1: coming up on jam Aka danzis is giving out VIP passes.

556
00:26:17,868 --> 00:26:20,108
Speaker 1: Who is NFL Superstar Club? Which players me the list?

557
00:26:20,228 --> 00:26:34,828
Speaker 1: Very curious football our own, Dan Hans. This is added again.

558
00:26:34,908 --> 00:26:37,148
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, he revealed his new and improved NFL

559
00:26:37,188 --> 00:26:40,148
Speaker 1: Superstar Club list. Let's take a look at which quarterbacks

560
00:26:40,188 --> 00:26:42,988
Speaker 1: made the cut. Shall We only got Josh Allen tom Brady.

561
00:26:43,748 --> 00:26:47,388
Speaker 1: He added both Justin Herbert and Joe Burrows to his list.

562
00:26:47,588 --> 00:26:50,788
Speaker 1: That's nice, taking the place of once Superstar club members

563
00:26:50,788 --> 00:26:54,308
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan and Kyler Murray. Tom Let's start with you

564
00:26:54,388 --> 00:26:56,588
Speaker 1: looking at this list of quarterbacks, who do you think

565
00:26:56,708 --> 00:26:59,308
Speaker 1: is missing? Who would you at? My first take away

566
00:26:59,388 --> 00:27:01,868
Speaker 1: just look at the list. Is that shows you how

567
00:27:02,148 --> 00:27:06,988
Speaker 1: few truly elite quarterbacks there are in the NFL? Because

568
00:27:06,988 --> 00:27:09,228
Speaker 1: even on that list, there's a couple of guys who

569
00:27:09,268 --> 00:27:12,428
Speaker 1: didn't play at a superstar level last season. Russell Wilson

570
00:27:12,908 --> 00:27:16,228
Speaker 1: had probably his worst season as a pro again dealing

571
00:27:16,268 --> 00:27:18,708
Speaker 1: with an injury, coming back too soon from a significant

572
00:27:18,748 --> 00:27:22,468
Speaker 1: finger injury. But you've got Lamar Jackson who missed a

573
00:27:22,468 --> 00:27:24,668
Speaker 1: bunch of time down the stretch in the season. Justin

574
00:27:24,668 --> 00:27:27,348
Speaker 1: Herbert hasn't made the playoffs yet, it's an easy pick

575
00:27:27,548 --> 00:27:32,108
Speaker 1: that he's going to be a superstar superstar. Joe Burrow

576
00:27:32,228 --> 00:27:35,108
Speaker 1: the playoff is a superstar now. But you've got, yeah,

577
00:27:35,148 --> 00:27:37,028
Speaker 1: six to nine guys. If you look at the guys

578
00:27:37,068 --> 00:27:39,428
Speaker 1: who are not on that list, who who is the

579
00:27:39,468 --> 00:27:41,828
Speaker 1: guy who who is missing that you want to bump up?

580
00:27:41,828 --> 00:27:44,508
Speaker 1: There is Matthew Stafford at that level? Is it Kirk Cousins,

581
00:27:44,988 --> 00:27:48,188
Speaker 1: Is it Matt Ryan? I would say I would put

582
00:27:48,188 --> 00:27:50,228
Speaker 1: Stafford on that list in a minute. Those guys are

583
00:27:50,308 --> 00:27:55,228
Speaker 1: not there. Tannahill is not there, Derek Carr. How does Stafford?

584
00:27:55,428 --> 00:28:01,108
Speaker 1: Who has as many Super Bowls as Aaron Rodgers Detroit.

585
00:28:02,468 --> 00:28:05,508
Speaker 1: We've got another name on there, Deshaun Watson, who is

586
00:28:05,548 --> 00:28:07,668
Speaker 1: not on this list, I would assume in part because

587
00:28:07,708 --> 00:28:10,348
Speaker 1: we don't know his availability for the twenty twenty two seasons.

588
00:28:10,348 --> 00:28:12,628
Speaker 1: To l Robinson, the disciplinary officer are going to make

589
00:28:12,628 --> 00:28:15,828
Speaker 1: a decision sometime in the coming weeks on discipline, if any,

590
00:28:15,868 --> 00:28:18,988
Speaker 1: for Deshaun Watson in light of a series of allegations

591
00:28:19,108 --> 00:28:22,068
Speaker 1: of sexual misconduct. But certainly, when Deshaun Watson is on

592
00:28:22,068 --> 00:28:25,468
Speaker 1: the football field as a football player, he's somebody who's

593
00:28:25,468 --> 00:28:27,708
Speaker 1: going to be in that conversation, which is why the

594
00:28:27,748 --> 00:28:29,828
Speaker 1: Browns gave up all their picks for the next three

595
00:28:29,908 --> 00:28:31,628
Speaker 1: years and gave him a five year, two or three

596
00:28:31,668 --> 00:28:34,308
Speaker 1: million dollar contract. I would say, long way to get

597
00:28:34,308 --> 00:28:36,988
Speaker 1: to my actual answer here, Kyler Murray is the one

598
00:28:37,108 --> 00:28:39,588
Speaker 1: to me that you should include on that list. You've

599
00:28:39,588 --> 00:28:42,988
Speaker 1: got a guy who is still, at this point, only

600
00:28:43,188 --> 00:28:46,468
Speaker 1: twenty four years old. He's gotten better each season. The

601
00:28:46,508 --> 00:28:49,748
Speaker 1: Cardinals have gotten better each season. And you heard Larry

602
00:28:49,788 --> 00:28:53,908
Speaker 1: FitzGeralds say there he has rare athletic ability, rare playmaking ability,

603
00:28:54,028 --> 00:28:56,508
Speaker 1: has not done it consistently enough. We all know what

604
00:28:56,628 --> 00:28:58,788
Speaker 1: happened in the playoff game. But you want to talk

605
00:28:58,788 --> 00:29:01,428
Speaker 1: about the one guy on that list too, well, Listen,

606
00:29:01,428 --> 00:29:03,748
Speaker 1: we know Matt Ryan's won an MVP, Matte Staffords won

607
00:29:03,788 --> 00:29:05,628
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl US. We've got a very good idea

608
00:29:05,668 --> 00:29:07,908
Speaker 1: what Kirk Cousins is. Are you ever gonna say superstar

609
00:29:07,988 --> 00:29:11,188
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins Probably not. He's a very very good quarterback.

610
00:29:11,308 --> 00:29:14,468
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is the one with superstar traits, and so

611
00:29:14,508 --> 00:29:16,588
Speaker 1: if we're going to project Justin Herbert into that category,

612
00:29:16,588 --> 00:29:17,948
Speaker 1: I would say Kyler Murray is the other. Nay, you

613
00:29:17,988 --> 00:29:21,628
Speaker 1: don't worry about the immaturity and the leadership there at all.

614
00:29:21,868 --> 00:29:25,948
Speaker 1: Superstar is a different type of a term. There's different

615
00:29:25,948 --> 00:29:28,228
Speaker 1: guys on that list who lead in different ways. Aaron

616
00:29:28,308 --> 00:29:31,468
Speaker 1: Rodgers doesn't lead the same way as Tom Brady, Kyler Murray,

617
00:29:31,508 --> 00:29:33,908
Speaker 1: everyone in the league knew. Every scout who did homework

618
00:29:33,948 --> 00:29:37,948
Speaker 1: on him at Oklahoma knew. He's not a type a leader.

619
00:29:38,068 --> 00:29:40,028
Speaker 1: He's not somebody who's gonna be hanging out with all

620
00:29:40,028 --> 00:29:42,908
Speaker 1: the other football players. Off the field, He's to himself.

621
00:29:43,028 --> 00:29:45,148
Speaker 1: He's got a bit of a quieter personality, but people

622
00:29:45,308 --> 00:29:48,268
Speaker 1: respect him because of how he plays the game. Now,

623
00:29:48,348 --> 00:29:50,588
Speaker 1: obviously this has become an issue because of what's taken

624
00:29:50,628 --> 00:29:52,948
Speaker 1: place over the past several months. The Cardinals have decisions

625
00:29:52,988 --> 00:29:54,428
Speaker 1: to make in terms of how far they're willing to

626
00:29:54,428 --> 00:29:57,668
Speaker 1: go on a contract. But superstar traits. If you watch

627
00:29:57,788 --> 00:30:01,028
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray play the game, you say that guy can

628
00:30:01,068 --> 00:30:03,708
Speaker 1: be a superstar. Yeah, okay, good answer. I like that.

629
00:30:03,708 --> 00:30:06,868
Speaker 1: All right, Let's say, look at Dan's updated running backs list.

630
00:30:06,948 --> 00:30:10,388
Speaker 1: Only one new edition here, and it's obviously cold running

631
00:30:10,428 --> 00:30:13,908
Speaker 1: back Jonathan Taylor ranked. Taking a look at these running backs,

632
00:30:13,908 --> 00:30:16,948
Speaker 1: who do you feel is missing from the list? Well, this,

633
00:30:17,228 --> 00:30:19,788
Speaker 1: you know, goes to your point, Tom about like there

634
00:30:19,868 --> 00:30:22,708
Speaker 1: is a lack of superstar running backs. Back in the nineties,

635
00:30:22,828 --> 00:30:25,188
Speaker 1: before you were born, there'd be guys like Emmon Smith

636
00:30:25,708 --> 00:30:29,188
Speaker 1: and no, seriously, I'd like Emmett Smith and Barry Sanders

637
00:30:29,188 --> 00:30:31,708
Speaker 1: and all these great players at the running back position.

638
00:30:31,748 --> 00:30:33,628
Speaker 1: We don't see that a lot anymore because a lot

639
00:30:33,668 --> 00:30:36,268
Speaker 1: of the teams have moved on to running back by committees.

640
00:30:36,588 --> 00:30:39,068
Speaker 1: So when I look at that list, the one name though,

641
00:30:39,148 --> 00:30:42,028
Speaker 1: that really stood out to me is not being on there.

642
00:30:42,028 --> 00:30:43,988
Speaker 1: And it wasn't David Montgomery, who I think should be

643
00:30:44,028 --> 00:30:48,308
Speaker 1: getting consideration. It's actually Austin Eckler. How is Austin Eckler

644
00:30:48,748 --> 00:30:52,708
Speaker 1: not on this list? Now, last year, Jonathan Taylor led

645
00:30:52,748 --> 00:30:56,828
Speaker 1: the NFL with twenty total touchdowns earned his way onto

646
00:30:56,868 --> 00:31:00,908
Speaker 1: the list. Guess what. Austin Eckler had as many total

647
00:31:00,988 --> 00:31:05,308
Speaker 1: touchdowns as Jonathan Taylor. He does it. He catches the

648
00:31:05,348 --> 00:31:08,188
Speaker 1: ball out of the backfield. He's a solid runner. He's

649
00:31:08,188 --> 00:31:11,388
Speaker 1: not going to be a fifteen hundred yard per season guy,

650
00:31:11,828 --> 00:31:13,988
Speaker 1: but he goes out there and gets the scrimmage yards.

651
00:31:14,028 --> 00:31:15,908
Speaker 1: And to me, you know, and maybe this is my

652
00:31:15,988 --> 00:31:18,988
Speaker 1: fantasy bias bleeding in here a little bit, like he

653
00:31:19,148 --> 00:31:21,508
Speaker 1: is one of the superstars of the game. He is

654
00:31:21,548 --> 00:31:23,828
Speaker 1: one of the most electric players. He is one of

655
00:31:23,908 --> 00:31:27,708
Speaker 1: those guys that I know that my kids gravitate towards

656
00:31:27,748 --> 00:31:31,468
Speaker 1: because he is so amazing out there on the Field,

657
00:31:31,508 --> 00:31:33,588
Speaker 1: and when you talk about superstars, I don't think that

658
00:31:33,628 --> 00:31:36,948
Speaker 1: there's many guys who are better than Austin Ecklin. He's fun,

659
00:31:36,988 --> 00:31:38,868
Speaker 1: he's also wholesome. Like it's just the guy that you

660
00:31:38,908 --> 00:31:41,948
Speaker 1: want to love. Fantasy GM or real life GM. Would

661
00:31:41,948 --> 00:31:45,348
Speaker 1: you take Austin Eckler over Christian McCaffrey right now? Different players,

662
00:31:45,428 --> 00:31:48,468
Speaker 1: But Christian McCaffrey's barely played for two years. That's the problem.

663
00:31:48,508 --> 00:31:51,228
Speaker 1: It's the injury concerns and everything. And honestly, like, I

664
00:31:51,268 --> 00:31:53,588
Speaker 1: know you guys love Baker Mayfield, but like I sort

665
00:31:53,628 --> 00:31:55,628
Speaker 1: of trust the Chargers offense a little bit more at

666
00:31:55,628 --> 00:31:58,508
Speaker 1: this point. Interesting. Finally, let's take a look at which

667
00:31:58,548 --> 00:32:00,788
Speaker 1: new wide receiver has got the invite to the Superstar Club.

668
00:32:00,828 --> 00:32:04,268
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, whom we love, Cooper Cup obviously,

669
00:32:04,708 --> 00:32:08,108
Speaker 1: Debo all got the love of Jefferson and Cup weren't

670
00:32:08,148 --> 00:32:11,628
Speaker 1: on this Listen, I know they all got the non approach. Jefferson,

671
00:32:11,708 --> 00:32:14,428
Speaker 1: what have you been doing? Dan? Jerry's looking at these names?

672
00:32:14,428 --> 00:32:17,068
Speaker 1: Who do you think is missing man? Dan is passing

673
00:32:17,068 --> 00:32:20,548
Speaker 1: out a lot of Superstar passes. This list will obviously

674
00:32:20,548 --> 00:32:22,828
Speaker 1: continue to grow. I'm actually take to my off this list. First,

675
00:32:22,828 --> 00:32:25,428
Speaker 1: aj Brown only played fifty one percent of the snap

676
00:32:25,468 --> 00:32:27,628
Speaker 1: flash year for his team. I'm gonna take him off,

677
00:32:27,628 --> 00:32:30,268
Speaker 1: he says, And add Mike Evans, a guy who I

678
00:32:30,348 --> 00:32:33,748
Speaker 1: think is underappreciated. Man last his first eight years in

679
00:32:33,788 --> 00:32:36,788
Speaker 1: the league a thousand yards every year. He always scores

680
00:32:36,828 --> 00:32:39,348
Speaker 1: a bunch of touchdowns. His first two years of Tom

681
00:32:39,388 --> 00:32:42,108
Speaker 1: Brady twenty seven touchdowns. And if you look at the

682
00:32:42,188 --> 00:32:46,308
Speaker 1: list of other receivers with eight consecutive thousand yards season,

683
00:32:46,388 --> 00:32:50,348
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice, Tim Brown, Chris Carter, Marvin Harrison, and Torria

684
00:32:50,428 --> 00:32:52,988
Speaker 1: Hope all are in the Hall of Fame. Secretary Hope,

685
00:32:52,988 --> 00:32:56,188
Speaker 1: who should be Mike Evans. He just continues to go

686
00:32:56,228 --> 00:32:59,268
Speaker 1: out there and produce year and year out, weekend week out.

687
00:32:59,628 --> 00:33:01,348
Speaker 1: And this is how you can really tell who was

688
00:33:01,428 --> 00:33:04,188
Speaker 1: superstar receiver is you watch the film, you watch the game,

689
00:33:04,548 --> 00:33:06,468
Speaker 1: and who is that free safety that middle of the

690
00:33:06,548 --> 00:33:09,428
Speaker 1: feels safety leaning to and every week they're leaning the

691
00:33:09,548 --> 00:33:12,148
Speaker 1: thirteen regardless schools on the other side. So Mike Evans,

692
00:33:12,348 --> 00:33:13,828
Speaker 1: he needs to get in the club. I mean, he's

693
00:33:13,828 --> 00:33:17,348
Speaker 1: probably bigger than a bounce anyways. For all right, there

694
00:33:17,348 --> 00:33:19,708
Speaker 1: you go, Well, let Dan know who he left off

695
00:33:20,108 --> 00:33:22,908
Speaker 1: his list. I know he loves looking at his Twitter notifications.

696
00:33:22,908 --> 00:33:25,188
Speaker 1: Back now with some Chiefs chatter all offseason long or

697
00:33:25,228 --> 00:33:27,708
Speaker 1: vary on. Adam Rank publishes his State of the Franchise

698
00:33:27,748 --> 00:33:30,708
Speaker 1: series on NFL dot Com. Since we have Adam in

699
00:33:30,788 --> 00:33:33,948
Speaker 1: studio today, we thought we'd break down today's article. So

700
00:33:33,988 --> 00:33:36,028
Speaker 1: Adam tell us about the State of the Franchise of

701
00:33:36,108 --> 00:33:38,228
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. Well, I think the biggest thing

702
00:33:38,348 --> 00:33:41,628
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs this season is what happens without Tyree

703
00:33:41,748 --> 00:33:44,028
Speaker 1: killed them? And I think that's the big question. And

704
00:33:44,188 --> 00:33:46,428
Speaker 1: you know what, Patrick Mahomes is going to be very good,

705
00:33:46,668 --> 00:33:48,308
Speaker 1: Like he's still gonna go out there. He's gonna put

706
00:33:48,348 --> 00:33:51,388
Speaker 1: up huge numbers. We saw that the brief snippet of

707
00:33:51,428 --> 00:33:54,908
Speaker 1: time where he played without Tyree Hill, and it was like, look,

708
00:33:55,388 --> 00:33:59,628
Speaker 1: passerating above one hundred no picks, Like he's gonna be fine.

709
00:33:59,828 --> 00:34:03,868
Speaker 1: But the thing is is people underestimate how big of

710
00:34:03,908 --> 00:34:06,708
Speaker 1: an impact act Tyree Hill makes on this offense. And

711
00:34:06,748 --> 00:34:09,268
Speaker 1: you know what, I put this out there on Twitter

712
00:34:09,348 --> 00:34:11,988
Speaker 1: and somebody's like, well, he's a big play guy. He

713
00:34:12,028 --> 00:34:15,548
Speaker 1: doesn't move the chains, which is actually incorrect because outside

714
00:34:15,548 --> 00:34:20,588
Speaker 1: of Justin Jefferson. Nobody had more first down catches on

715
00:34:20,788 --> 00:34:23,548
Speaker 1: third down than Tyree Hill, and we'll see the numbers

716
00:34:23,628 --> 00:34:26,868
Speaker 1: right there, like he had more than Cooper cop Keenan Keenan.

717
00:34:26,908 --> 00:34:29,308
Speaker 1: Allen was talking about this week about how he is

718
00:34:29,388 --> 00:34:32,908
Speaker 1: the third down guy in the NFL. So I think

719
00:34:32,908 --> 00:34:35,148
Speaker 1: that people don't give the credit to tyreek Hill for

720
00:34:35,228 --> 00:34:37,268
Speaker 1: how much of a chain mover he was. So I

721
00:34:37,268 --> 00:34:40,108
Speaker 1: think it's the difference of the chiefs being very good

722
00:34:40,668 --> 00:34:43,468
Speaker 1: versus elite. Well, you got Marquis Voldo scant Leon there,

723
00:34:43,508 --> 00:34:45,468
Speaker 1: who's now one of the only guys in the NFL

724
00:34:45,508 --> 00:34:47,268
Speaker 1: who could probably I don't even want to say this

725
00:34:47,348 --> 00:34:49,908
Speaker 1: was a blast, might be able to beat tyreek Hill

726
00:34:49,908 --> 00:34:53,668
Speaker 1: in the foot race. They're both really really matched. Schuster

727
00:34:54,068 --> 00:34:56,308
Speaker 1: goes there as well. Neither of those guys is Tyree Hill.

728
00:34:56,348 --> 00:34:59,308
Speaker 1: But he was a calculated risk that Brent Veach, the

729
00:34:59,308 --> 00:35:01,828
Speaker 1: general manager, was willie to take that. Hey, Brenna have

730
00:35:01,868 --> 00:35:04,548
Speaker 1: to pay tyreek Hill twenty seven thirty million dollars. If

731
00:35:04,548 --> 00:35:06,708
Speaker 1: you look at that contract, we can then apply it

732
00:35:06,788 --> 00:35:09,068
Speaker 1: and fortify other parts of our teams. This is gonna

733
00:35:09,068 --> 00:35:11,468
Speaker 1: be a different plan of attack here. And they think

734
00:35:11,468 --> 00:35:13,268
Speaker 1: some of those other pieces they were able to add

735
00:35:13,308 --> 00:35:15,708
Speaker 1: because they don't have Tyreek Hill's salary is going to

736
00:35:15,748 --> 00:35:17,148
Speaker 1: add up into being a pretty good team in the

737
00:35:17,148 --> 00:35:19,828
Speaker 1: Future's similar to de Vante Adams moving on. Obviously, you

738
00:35:19,868 --> 00:35:21,988
Speaker 1: can't replace him one guy. You got to replace him

739
00:35:21,988 --> 00:35:24,628
Speaker 1: by committee. And to me, Tyreek Hill, he has kind

740
00:35:24,628 --> 00:35:27,788
Speaker 1: of like that Steph Curry effect to the football field,

741
00:35:27,788 --> 00:35:29,908
Speaker 1: like he just opens things up for everyone else because

742
00:35:29,988 --> 00:35:31,988
Speaker 1: that's safety. Has to know where ten is and the

743
00:35:32,028 --> 00:35:34,068
Speaker 1: reason he gets so many first down if I'm a corner,

744
00:35:34,108 --> 00:35:36,308
Speaker 1: I'm terrified and running by me. So yeah, I'll give

745
00:35:36,348 --> 00:35:37,948
Speaker 1: you eight. I'll give you ten yards. I don't care

746
00:35:37,948 --> 00:35:39,708
Speaker 1: what the down and distance it. So I think he'll

747
00:35:39,748 --> 00:35:42,228
Speaker 1: be tremendous for too in his development down in Miami.

748
00:35:42,348 --> 00:35:44,388
Speaker 1: But they'll miss h McKenna. See, but I think they'll

749
00:35:44,388 --> 00:35:46,948
Speaker 1: be all right. You're breaking down every single team. Who's next.

750
00:35:46,988 --> 00:35:50,428
Speaker 1: We're gonna have the Las Vegas Raiders tomorrow we turn in.

751
00:35:50,468 --> 00:35:52,748
Speaker 1: I haven't turned in the other two. It's got to

752
00:35:52,788 --> 00:35:55,068
Speaker 1: be the Raiders tomorrow. But yeah, you know, this is

753
00:35:55,068 --> 00:35:57,428
Speaker 1: the best division obviously to write about, because there's a

754
00:35:57,428 --> 00:35:59,268
Speaker 1: lot of fun because there was so much movement and

755
00:35:59,308 --> 00:36:01,708
Speaker 1: The big question is like, who is the last place team.

756
00:36:01,948 --> 00:36:04,028
Speaker 1: There's there's a chance that all four of those teams

757
00:36:04,068 --> 00:36:08,348
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, but we'll see. Can't wait to watch

758
00:36:08,348 --> 00:36:10,388
Speaker 1: a breakdown all these teams. Also State of the Union.

759
00:36:10,468 --> 00:36:15,148
Speaker 1: These outfits Tina Murrow, guys drawstring. Very comfortable,
