So the fact, 126 00:05:30,748 --> 00:05:33,068 Speaker 2: helly not I heard what he said. I think that's 127 00:05:33,108 --> 00:05:35,508 Speaker 2: based off of the questions of people probably saying it. 128 00:05:35,548 --> 00:05:37,668 Speaker 6: But no, he said people who wrote it in this room. 129 00:05:37,708 --> 00:05:40,428 Speaker 6: He's reading these clips and he's trying to thread this. 130 00:05:40,948 --> 00:05:45,308 Speaker 6: There is a gene Sterotre index card, Okay, between the 131 00:05:45,348 --> 00:05:48,068 Speaker 6: difference of do we care about the streak and do 132 00:05:48,108 --> 00:05:50,668 Speaker 6: we care about the efforts of the people who are 133 00:05:50,708 --> 00:05:53,868 Speaker 6: putting forward what's happening on the field to keep that streak. 134 00:05:53,988 --> 00:05:57,108 Speaker 6: Of course we respect what the players were doing.

Like, 140 00:06:13,508 --> 00:06:16,308 Speaker 6: nobody's disrespecting what the players are doing. It's just the 141 00:06:16,388 --> 00:06:18,188 Speaker 6: end result that people are kind of looking at and 142 00:06:18,228 --> 00:06:20,548 Speaker 6: saying it doesn't matter their chances of winning the Super Bowl. 143 00:06:20,628 --> 00:06:23,108 Speaker 2: Whatever the odds were yesterday the same as they are today. 144 00:06:23,108 --> 00:06:25,428 Speaker 2: If you make a game winning catch in a preseason game, 145 00:06:26,228 --> 00:06:28,828 Speaker 2: the coaching staffs not evaluating like, Wow, he stepped up 146 00:06:28,868 --> 00:06:31,348 Speaker 2: in a big moment and made a game winning catch. 147 00:06:31,388 --> 00:06:33,628 Speaker 2: We need to have this guy.

I've always said, and you guys know this, Yeah, 175 00:07:35,308 --> 00:07:36,548 Speaker 1: I've really respected it. 176 00:07:36,588 --> 00:07:36,828 Speaker 6: I have. 177 00:07:36,948 --> 00:07:38,308 Speaker 1: As much as I called for it to end, it 178 00:07:38,348 --> 00:07:39,228 Speaker 1: was kind of ready for it. 179 00:07:39,188 --> 00:07:39,748 Speaker 3: To be end. 180 00:07:39,948 --> 00:07:41,148 Speaker 1: I think it says a lot. 181 00:07:40,988 --> 00:07:42,588 Speaker 2: About the Ravens front office. 182 00:07:42,628 --> 00:07:44,388 Speaker 1: I really do that the guys they have in the 183 00:07:44,388 --> 00:07:46,788 Speaker 1: fourth quarter of these games, these undrafted guys or these 184 00:07:46,828 --> 00:07:49,908 Speaker 1: late round guys are good a try and be and 185 00:07:49,988 --> 00:07:53,188 Speaker 1: are really well coached CE So I think it's really impressive. 186 00:07:53,868 --> 00:07:56,628 Speaker 1: I don't know if I needed the flamethrower brush back 187 00:07:56,668 --> 00:07:59,748 Speaker 1: on the entire room of like, how dare you ingrades 188 00:07:59,748 --> 00:08:02,788 Speaker 1: who never played the game this respect this thing and 189 00:08:02,868 --> 00:08:05,668 Speaker 1: you're skating counts were there even skating columns about the streak. 190 00:08:05,948 --> 00:08:08,188 Speaker 1: John was so mad I think that they lost. Like, 191 00:08:08,228 --> 00:08:10,148 Speaker 1: I think he was really passed. I think he really 192 00:08:10,228 --> 00:08:12,348 Speaker 1: liked this and like doesn't don't you think it lends 193 00:08:12,388 --> 00:08:14,428 Speaker 1: so much, Jason. I know it doesn't add up to 194 00:08:14,468 --> 00:08:17,868 Speaker 1: anything really concrete, but like culture, culture, culture, culture, culture, 195 00:08:18,148 --> 00:08:20,268 Speaker 1: Like we always like we win those games. I see 196 00:08:20,308 --> 00:08:22,668 Speaker 1: these coaches after the preseason games when they win or 197 00:08:22,708 --> 00:08:26,708 Speaker 1: they lose, they're they're crestfallen, or they're they're excited. Maybe 198 00:08:26,708 --> 00:08:29,908 Speaker 1: they're faking it, but like all those wins add up 199 00:08:29,948 --> 00:08:32,828 Speaker 1: to culture stuff and positive. I think John loved it, 200 00:08:33,228 --> 00:08:34,828 Speaker 1: loved it, and this guy was won the Super Bowl 201 00:08:34,868 --> 00:08:36,508 Speaker 1: and I think he was really mad and wanted up 202 00:08:36,468 --> 00:08:37,548 Speaker 1: pound a flesh when it was over. 203 00:08:37,668 --> 00:08:40,628 Speaker 4: Yeah, that John Harball that we saw is I think 204 00:08:40,668 --> 00:08:43,548 Speaker 4: all of us probably have personally interacted with coach Harbab. 205 00:08:43,628 --> 00:08:46,148 Speaker 4: That's who he is, like to a t, that's his mo. 206 00:08:46,668 --> 00:08:49,068 Speaker 4: He likes playing the chip on his shoulder. He likes 207 00:08:49,348 --> 00:08:51,588 Speaker 4: looking at people out of his side eye and being like, 208 00:08:51,628 --> 00:08:54,108 Speaker 4: how dare you question me? As he addressed the person 209 00:08:54,148 --> 00:08:56,628 Speaker 4: to his right, that was like giving me shivers, Like 210 00:08:56,708 --> 00:08:58,988 Speaker 4: being in that room you know, like the tone you're 211 00:08:59,028 --> 00:09:02,868 Speaker 4: getting from him body language wise as a reporter, I 212 00:09:02,868 --> 00:09:05,028 Speaker 4: think it played into what he tries to coach up, 213 00:09:05,068 --> 00:09:07,628 Speaker 4: which is like everyone's after us, everyone's downing us in 214 00:09:07,628 --> 00:09:08,348 Speaker 4: the AFC North. 215 00:09:08,508 --> 00:09:10,628 Speaker 5: So if you can't, if the street is now over, he's. 216 00:09:10,468 --> 00:09:12,148 Speaker 4: Got to go back and do his playbook of like 217 00:09:12,188 --> 00:09:13,948 Speaker 4: how am I going to motivate these guys? So I 218 00:09:13,948 --> 00:09:15,468 Speaker 4: think he's maybe just mad that he has to flip 219 00:09:15,468 --> 00:09:16,348 Speaker 4: to the next year after. 220 00:09:16,228 --> 00:09:18,348 Speaker 2: I don't know him at all, but to your point, 221 00:09:18,428 --> 00:09:21,668 Speaker 2: learned behavior becomes instinct. So for coaches, yeah, we stay 222 00:09:21,708 --> 00:09:24,308 Speaker 2: on the edge all the time. I did it, but 223 00:09:24,348 --> 00:09:25,388 Speaker 2: I still cares. 224 00:09:25,068 --> 00:09:27,668 Speaker 4: Flowers to the commanders. This is a fantastic troll job. 225 00:09:27,948 --> 00:09:30,188 Speaker 4: Congrats to Joe. It's live for hitting that field goal 226 00:09:30,268 --> 00:09:33,868 Speaker 4: forty eight yard or that's tremendous. It's fantastic. Great vibes 227 00:09:33,868 --> 00:09:37,508 Speaker 4: for the commanders. Not so great in Indianapolis. No, we're 228 00:09:37,548 --> 00:09:40,268 Speaker 4: going to check in uh with Mike Rfolo, who normally 229 00:09:40,268 --> 00:09:41,908 Speaker 4: would be like, Mike, gee, welcome to the program. 230 00:09:42,028 --> 00:09:44,188 Speaker 5: No, you're right here. Generally, thank you for having with 231 00:09:44,228 --> 00:09:44,948 Speaker 5: Jonathan Taylor. 232 00:09:45,868 --> 00:09:49,308 Speaker 6: Jonathan Taylor and the Indianapolis coach the dance continues. It's 233 00:09:49,348 --> 00:09:52,228 Speaker 6: not a pretty dance, and it started with Jonathan Taylor 234 00:09:52,308 --> 00:09:55,428 Speaker 6: requesting a trade and finally being granted it yesterday. As 235 00:09:55,468 --> 00:09:58,388 Speaker 6: are Ian Rappaport reported, Now, the Colt's going to be 236 00:09:58,468 --> 00:10:01,428 Speaker 6: looking for some kind of hall here that would rival 237 00:10:01,948 --> 00:10:04,748 Speaker 6: with the forty nine or shooting with the Carolina Anthor's 238 00:10:04,748 --> 00:10:07,068 Speaker 6: got from the forty nine ers for Christian McCaffrey. And 239 00:10:07,108 --> 00:10:08,628 Speaker 6: then on top of that, the new team's going to 240 00:10:08,668 --> 00:10:11,228 Speaker 6: have to pay Jonathan Taylor a contract extension, because that's 241 00:10:11,228 --> 00:10:15,748 Speaker 6: how we've got here with Indianapolis. So at the top 242 00:10:15,788 --> 00:10:17,948 Speaker 6: of the running back market I mentioned McCaffrey, that is 243 00:10:17,988 --> 00:10:21,628 Speaker 6: around sixteen million dollars per season, Taylor wants something in 244 00:10:21,668 --> 00:10:23,828 Speaker 6: that neighborhood, if not all the way there to the 245 00:10:23,868 --> 00:10:27,948 Speaker 6: front door of Christian McCaffrey. So I don't know that 246 00:10:28,068 --> 00:10:31,188 Speaker 6: this is kind of like how the Ravens put the 247 00:10:31,228 --> 00:10:33,468 Speaker 6: tag on Lamar Jackson and said, you don't like our 248 00:10:33,508 --> 00:10:35,588 Speaker 6: contract offers, go see what everybody else has to offer. 249 00:10:35,628 --> 00:10:37,188 Speaker 6: I really feel that this is the cult saying, look, 250 00:10:37,228 --> 00:10:39,388 Speaker 6: we're at a dead end here. Let's see if this 251 00:10:39,508 --> 00:10:42,348 Speaker 6: ends in a trade in us getting a significant compensation 252 00:10:42,508 --> 00:10:45,508 Speaker 6: package in exchange while Taylor gets his contract extension. I 253 00:10:45,548 --> 00:10:48,748 Speaker 6: do know that there's been communication from the Colt's front 254 00:10:48,788 --> 00:10:51,828 Speaker 6: office toward folks who have no skin in the game, 255 00:10:51,868 --> 00:10:54,468 Speaker 6: who have said, look, we've had a lot of situations here, 256 00:10:54,588 --> 00:10:56,868 Speaker 6: we've kind of ducked in and out of this one 257 00:10:56,948 --> 00:10:59,748 Speaker 6: might not be salvageable. So does it end in the trade? 258 00:10:59,748 --> 00:11:02,068 Speaker 6: We shall see. Again, the team's got to step up 259 00:11:02,068 --> 00:11:04,588 Speaker 6: with compensation, both for the Colts and for Taylor. It's 260 00:11:04,588 --> 00:11:05,988 Speaker 6: gonna be a tough one here, Jason. 261 00:11:05,748 --> 00:11:07,428 Speaker 2: That's how I look at it. The last part you 262 00:11:07,548 --> 00:11:09,188 Speaker 2: just said, a team would have to say, all right, 263 00:11:09,268 --> 00:11:11,308 Speaker 2: we're willing to possibly give up a first round draft 264 00:11:11,348 --> 00:11:13,748 Speaker 2: pick or multiple, like you said in the Christian McCaffrey 265 00:11:13,788 --> 00:11:16,508 Speaker 2: four draft picks to get him here. And then once 266 00:11:16,548 --> 00:11:19,068 Speaker 2: we do that, what kind of contract is Jonathan Taylor 267 00:11:19,108 --> 00:11:20,628 Speaker 2: looking for. He's looking to be at the top of 268 00:11:20,628 --> 00:11:23,508 Speaker 2: the market. What we've just witness over the last several 269 00:11:23,548 --> 00:11:25,868 Speaker 2: months is no team want to pay some of the 270 00:11:25,908 --> 00:11:28,668 Speaker 2: top backs in the league. We have a guy down 271 00:11:28,708 --> 00:11:31,748 Speaker 2: in Las Vegas right now, Josh Jacobs who's not in 272 00:11:31,748 --> 00:11:34,348 Speaker 2: training camp, who was the rushing leader last year, and 273 00:11:34,388 --> 00:11:36,428 Speaker 2: the Raiders are trying to figure out how to pay him, 274 00:11:36,508 --> 00:11:39,068 Speaker 2: and he's franchised. So at this point, I just I 275 00:11:39,068 --> 00:11:41,668 Speaker 2: see Jonathan Taylor lined up in the backfield with Anthony 276 00:11:41,748 --> 00:11:44,748 Speaker 2: Richardson's Week one playing against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He'll go 277 00:11:44,788 --> 00:11:48,868 Speaker 2: out there test the market, but I see him Romainian Romaanica. 278 00:11:49,428 --> 00:11:51,268 Speaker 1: I have a question for the viewers, and this is 279 00:11:51,308 --> 00:11:53,028 Speaker 1: an interesting thing because we're getting heated up for a 280 00:11:53,028 --> 00:11:54,068 Speaker 1: couple weeks from this season. 281 00:11:54,468 --> 00:11:56,988 Speaker 2: Do you want your favorite team to trade for Jonathan Taylor? 282 00:11:57,308 --> 00:11:59,228 Speaker 2: Are you sitting here this morning, be like, let's get him. 283 00:11:59,268 --> 00:12:02,108 Speaker 1: Let's get him, because to Mike's point, you're gonna have 284 00:12:02,148 --> 00:12:03,548 Speaker 1: to pay him. Like, there's gonna have to be some 285 00:12:03,548 --> 00:12:06,028 Speaker 1: sort of It's not like you trade and he starts playing. 286 00:12:06,028 --> 00:12:08,028 Speaker 1: There's gonna have to be a contract thing. You're gonna 287 00:12:08,028 --> 00:12:10,748 Speaker 1: have to give up assets to trade for this running back. 288 00:12:11,108 --> 00:12:13,668 Speaker 1: It's a weird, murky thing. Just looking around social media, 289 00:12:13,788 --> 00:12:15,388 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people who are like, nope, nope, 290 00:12:15,468 --> 00:12:18,228 Speaker 1: nope to this great player who's had a fantastic start 291 00:12:18,268 --> 00:12:20,148 Speaker 1: to his career. So it taps into the state of 292 00:12:20,148 --> 00:12:22,348 Speaker 1: the running back thing. It taps into the season is 293 00:12:22,348 --> 00:12:25,748 Speaker 1: almost here. Are you tweeting at your team please get 294 00:12:25,828 --> 00:12:27,588 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor or are you saying hell no. 295 00:12:27,908 --> 00:12:28,508 Speaker 3: I saw some. 296 00:12:28,508 --> 00:12:31,108 Speaker 1: Notable Bears fans online who are like, nope, and they 297 00:12:31,148 --> 00:12:32,628 Speaker 1: don't have a star running back and they need to 298 00:12:32,668 --> 00:12:34,788 Speaker 1: surround justin fields, but they don't want to trade the 299 00:12:34,828 --> 00:12:37,708 Speaker 1: assets for it. I also just think, though, these teams 300 00:12:37,748 --> 00:12:40,268 Speaker 1: now they know what they have, I think, and what 301 00:12:40,308 --> 00:12:42,188 Speaker 1: they don't have. And if you're getting ready, like we 302 00:12:42,228 --> 00:12:44,468 Speaker 1: got the opener in a couple of weeks, I don't 303 00:12:44,508 --> 00:12:46,588 Speaker 1: really like our run game that much. Do you make 304 00:12:46,628 --> 00:12:48,708 Speaker 1: a move because you're like, I don't think we have it? 305 00:12:48,748 --> 00:12:50,588 Speaker 1: And maybe you do something a little desperate because it's 306 00:12:50,588 --> 00:12:53,628 Speaker 1: so close. It's very fascinating tweet the show. Do you 307 00:12:53,708 --> 00:12:55,748 Speaker 1: want your favorite team to trade for Jonathan tayl Yes? No, 308 00:12:55,748 --> 00:12:56,428 Speaker 1: he's a great player. 309 00:12:56,628 --> 00:12:58,188 Speaker 6: Just so we're clear, it was a second, third, and 310 00:12:58,188 --> 00:13:00,348 Speaker 6: fourth round pick this past season, a lot of stuff, 311 00:13:00,348 --> 00:13:02,628 Speaker 6: and a fifth round pick in twenty twenty four. Before 312 00:13:02,668 --> 00:13:03,948 Speaker 6: you decide whether all that's work. 313 00:13:04,548 --> 00:13:06,908 Speaker 4: Taylor, of course, in his first two seasons, rushed for 314 00:13:07,028 --> 00:13:09,628 Speaker 4: nearly three thousand yards and then dropped off. He played 315 00:13:09,628 --> 00:13:12,908 Speaker 4: eleven games last season due to injury only eight hundred yards, 316 00:13:13,308 --> 00:13:15,668 Speaker 4: so it's it's really tough, and he's entering. 317 00:13:15,468 --> 00:13:16,308 Speaker 5: Into stead year. 318 00:13:16,428 --> 00:13:17,868 Speaker 2: He is a zut be head. 319 00:13:18,748 --> 00:13:21,308 Speaker 4: You'd have to imagine Anthony Richardson would be so disappointed 320 00:13:21,308 --> 00:13:27,548 Speaker 4: if he didn't have him within his offense. Breaking news 321 00:13:27,588 --> 00:13:30,508 Speaker 4: that we found out regarding the Jets preseason, I mean 322 00:13:30,548 --> 00:13:31,108 Speaker 4: you could spin. 323 00:13:31,028 --> 00:13:32,908 Speaker 5: It that way because it hasn't happened since twenty eighteen. 324 00:13:32,988 --> 00:13:35,508 Speaker 6: Mike, what is it breaking news? 325 00:13:35,628 --> 00:13:36,348 Speaker 2: Yeah? 326 00:13:36,428 --> 00:13:38,108 Speaker 6: I believe Robert Sella said this a couple weeks ago. 327 00:13:38,108 --> 00:13:40,308 Speaker 6: But whatever, Aaron Rodgers is going to play in the 328 00:13:40,308 --> 00:13:43,588 Speaker 6: final preseason game against the New York Giants, a game 329 00:13:43,588 --> 00:13:46,148 Speaker 6: that I will be covering this with sure Pella Seroll Fine, whatever, 330 00:13:46,868 --> 00:13:52,308 Speaker 6: I'll be covering it this weekend, Aaron Rodgers against Daniel Jones. Listen, 331 00:13:52,588 --> 00:13:55,308 Speaker 6: when MetLife Stadium opened back then, they had the Peanuts 332 00:13:55,388 --> 00:13:58,268 Speaker 6: characters as part of the licensing deal. I don't think 333 00:13:58,268 --> 00:14:00,628 Speaker 6: they have that anymore. But they called it the Snoopy 334 00:14:00,668 --> 00:14:03,068 Speaker 6: Bawl and it was the first game at MetLife Stadium. 335 00:14:03,108 --> 00:14:06,588 Speaker 6: Eli Manning was bloodied, Cruz was going bananas, the fire 336 00:14:06,628 --> 00:14:09,068 Speaker 6: alarms in the stadium were going off. It was quite 337 00:14:09,108 --> 00:14:12,868 Speaker 6: the scene in the preseason game that evening. Well, this 338 00:14:12,868 --> 00:14:15,948 Speaker 6: one's gonna be matched and superseded right now because Aaron 339 00:14:15,988 --> 00:14:18,628 Speaker 6: Rodgers is playing in a preseason game.

The Giants 341 00:14:20,628 --> 00:14:22,708 Speaker 6: fans probably going to be there wanting to see if 342 00:14:22,708 --> 00:14:25,428 Speaker 6: maybe their pass rushers can do what the Jets pass 343 00:14:25,508 --> 00:14:26,108 Speaker 6: rusher did. 344 00:14:26,308 --> 00:14:27,068 Speaker 2: I forget who it. 345 00:14:27,028 --> 00:14:30,308 Speaker 6: Was to Eli Manning that night, So it's going to 346 00:14:30,348 --> 00:14:33,428 Speaker 6: be an absolute fantastic scene as far as preseason go 347 00:14:33,588 --> 00:14:36,748 Speaker 6: preseason games go.

I 407 00:16:45,388 --> 00:16:47,708 Speaker 1: also was like, I can't believe he hasn't played in 408 00:16:47,708 --> 00:16:49,708 Speaker 1: five years. The only comp we really have for Rodgers 409 00:16:49,748 --> 00:16:52,708 Speaker 1: in any way in terms of his stature is Brady, 410 00:16:53,028 --> 00:16:54,868 Speaker 1: And I was looking Brady played all the years he 411 00:16:54,908 --> 00:16:57,348 Speaker 1: played the years in Tampa, even his last year in 412 00:16:57,348 --> 00:17:00,428 Speaker 1: New England. He's out there playing preseason games throwing, and 413 00:17:00,468 --> 00:17:03,148 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised that all that he is playing Rogers. 414 00:17:03,188 --> 00:17:05,708 Speaker 1: I still think is running the per campaign. From the 415 00:17:05,748 --> 00:17:08,628 Speaker 1: second he showed up at the Jets facility and did 416 00:17:08,628 --> 00:17:11,748 Speaker 1: that handslap with Sala to the Lombard's getting a little 417 00:17:11,748 --> 00:17:14,588 Speaker 1: lonely to the Hard Knocks perform, he's been perfect. And 418 00:17:14,628 --> 00:17:16,588 Speaker 1: the idea of him saying well, yeah, I was there 419 00:17:17,068 --> 00:17:19,228 Speaker 1: at their voluntary workouts and of course I'm gonna play 420 00:17:19,228 --> 00:17:20,588 Speaker 1: the priests. I gotta get on the same page with 421 00:17:20,628 --> 00:17:22,868 Speaker 1: my guys. I think it'd be great. I love that 422 00:17:22,908 --> 00:17:24,468 Speaker 1: he's doing it. It works well with the fans, the 423 00:17:24,468 --> 00:17:26,468 Speaker 1: fan base, the locker room. He should play a little bit. 424 00:17:27,348 --> 00:17:29,308 Speaker 1: I do have one request and one bone to pick 425 00:17:29,348 --> 00:17:31,508 Speaker 1: with the media coverage that I guess we're part of. 426 00:17:31,988 --> 00:17:34,548 Speaker 1: But it's a nuance of this when Zack Wilson plays 427 00:17:34,548 --> 00:17:37,268 Speaker 1: in this game, and Zach Wilson's had this nice run 428 00:17:37,308 --> 00:17:39,468 Speaker 1: of goodwill after a couple of rough years, and he 429 00:17:39,508 --> 00:17:43,308 Speaker 1: makes he's made some big plays. Every time Zach Wilson 430 00:17:43,348 --> 00:17:45,788 Speaker 1: makes a good play, the second the plays over, they 431 00:17:45,828 --> 00:17:47,828 Speaker 1: go to Rogers on the sideline, every time, and he's 432 00:17:47,868 --> 00:17:49,348 Speaker 1: just like smiling or fist pumping. 433 00:17:49,588 --> 00:17:50,508 Speaker 3: That's not necessary. 434 00:17:50,588 --> 00:17:52,908 Speaker 1: Can we just give Zach Wilson his moments? He made 435 00:17:52,908 --> 00:17:55,148 Speaker 1: that amazing run in the last priesting game, he hadn't 436 00:17:55,148 --> 00:17:57,068 Speaker 1: even gotten up yet, and it's like, go to Rogers. 437 00:17:57,508 --> 00:17:59,828 Speaker 1: He's just standing there smiling, like I know, Rogers is 438 00:17:59,828 --> 00:18:02,148 Speaker 1: the story. But to the directors and the camera people 439 00:18:02,148 --> 00:18:04,388 Speaker 1: and all I respect you, maybe just gives Zack Wilson 440 00:18:04,708 --> 00:18:07,068 Speaker 1: half a second of time on TV? Off are we 441 00:18:07,148 --> 00:18:09,188 Speaker 1: payned to Rogers this week? That's all I'm asking. 442 00:18:09,228 --> 00:18:12,388 Speaker 4: But we need the approval rating from the starting quarterback 443 00:18:12,428 --> 00:18:14,588 Speaker 4: to know how he feels about the backup quarterback who 444 00:18:14,668 --> 00:18:15,468 Speaker 4: very well could be the. 445 00:18:15,428 --> 00:18:17,508 Speaker 5: Future of the quarterbacksot for the court Jets. 446 00:18:17,628 --> 00:18:21,148 Speaker 4: I think I just want to do a heat check 447 00:18:21,188 --> 00:18:23,428 Speaker 4: on the people who actually are falling the camp of 448 00:18:23,508 --> 00:18:25,668 Speaker 4: Like I can't believe he's playing in this. 449 00:18:25,908 --> 00:18:27,908 Speaker 5: Are there people like that that exist out there? 450 00:18:27,908 --> 00:18:31,748 Speaker 4: Like the audacity that because I'm in the why wouldn't he. 451 00:18:31,908 --> 00:18:33,748 Speaker 5: He's got a lot of things to figure out, he's 452 00:18:33,788 --> 00:18:34,228 Speaker 5: got a lot. 453 00:18:34,188 --> 00:18:36,428 Speaker 4: Of new people to deal with. Patrick Mahomes is out 454 00:18:36,428 --> 00:18:39,028 Speaker 4: there playing an entire half.

These 458 00:18:43,708 --> 00:18:46,228 Speaker 4: are new people he's working with, the offensive line apparently 459 00:18:46,428 --> 00:18:47,268 Speaker 4: has to figure things out. 460 00:18:47,308 --> 00:18:47,628 Speaker 5: I don't. 461 00:18:47,668 --> 00:18:49,548 Speaker 4: I'm not sure the people out there, and I judge 462 00:18:49,548 --> 00:18:50,868 Speaker 4: you a little bit if you're like, he shouldn't be 463 00:18:50,868 --> 00:18:51,148 Speaker 4: doing it. 464 00:18:51,188 --> 00:18:51,828 Speaker 1: Are people saying that? 465 00:18:52,188 --> 00:18:52,588 Speaker 5: I hope not. 466 00:18:53,668 --> 00:18:56,828 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking forward to p Shrike's take on Aaron 467 00:18:56,908 --> 00:18:59,228 Speaker 2: Rodgers walking around New York City with the headphones in 468 00:18:59,308 --> 00:19:02,108 Speaker 2: with the court hooked up to the cant Yeah.

He needs one rep. He looks great, 490 00:19:57,188 --> 00:20:01,108 Speaker 8: I mean physically just just walking around. He looks probably 491 00:20:01,148 --> 00:20:02,868 Speaker 8: as good as it ever looked at this point, and 492 00:20:02,908 --> 00:20:07,068 Speaker 8: so that's a positive and we'll just go from there. 493 00:20:09,108 --> 00:20:11,388 Speaker 4: It's great news on the Joe Burrow front as we 494 00:20:11,468 --> 00:20:14,628 Speaker 4: take a look at where he ranked last season. Great 495 00:20:14,708 --> 00:20:17,428 Speaker 4: numbers for him coming off of a Super Bowl appearance, 496 00:20:17,468 --> 00:20:19,548 Speaker 4: of course, in February of twenty two. It's twenty one season, 497 00:20:19,708 --> 00:20:21,308 Speaker 4: but for the Bengals to get where they want to 498 00:20:21,308 --> 00:20:24,028 Speaker 4: go this season, because does Joe Burrow need to continue 499 00:20:24,028 --> 00:20:26,788 Speaker 4: to elevate to be even better because everyone else seems 500 00:20:26,788 --> 00:20:27,828 Speaker 4: to have lifted as well. 501 00:20:27,988 --> 00:20:30,788 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what he's continued to do throughout his career. 502 00:20:30,868 --> 00:20:32,908 Speaker 2: Of course, he has to continue to be better because 503 00:20:32,908 --> 00:20:35,988 Speaker 2: you look at THEFC and those quarterbacks that are there. 504 00:20:35,988 --> 00:20:37,588 Speaker 2: But I think you just look at the NFL as 505 00:20:37,588 --> 00:20:39,668 Speaker 2: a whole. The two teams that we watched playing the 506 00:20:39,708 --> 00:20:42,508 Speaker 2: Super Bowl this past season, the starting quarterback for the 507 00:20:42,548 --> 00:20:45,468 Speaker 2: winning team was the MVP of the season. The quarterback 508 00:20:45,508 --> 00:20:47,588 Speaker 2: for the other team, Jellen hurts, he was the runner 509 00:20:47,668 --> 00:20:50,628 Speaker 2: up to the MVP. So at this point in the 510 00:20:50,708 --> 00:20:53,948 Speaker 2: league today, you need elite quarterback play to be able 511 00:20:53,948 --> 00:20:55,868 Speaker 2: to say, hey, we want to be playing in that 512 00:20:56,028 --> 00:20:59,068 Speaker 2: last game of the season. And to Zach Taylor's point, 513 00:20:59,188 --> 00:21:01,868 Speaker 2: one rep, one rep, that's all he needs. Joe Burrow 514 00:21:01,908 --> 00:21:04,388 Speaker 2: missed majority of training camp last year of going through 515 00:21:04,548 --> 00:21:06,628 Speaker 2: an injury. He goes out there a week one against 516 00:21:06,628 --> 00:21:09,108 Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers and it was not pretty. But if 517 00:21:09,148 --> 00:21:10,668 Speaker 2: you throw his numbers up there and you look at 518 00:21:10,708 --> 00:21:13,588 Speaker 2: the totality of the season, and he's right there with 519 00:21:13,788 --> 00:21:16,588 Speaker 2: the best of them. So to Zach Taylor's point, yeah, 520 00:21:16,588 --> 00:21:18,828 Speaker 2: it may not start out great, but this guy has 521 00:21:18,908 --> 00:21:21,788 Speaker 2: proven that, Hey, I battle back from injuries. Once I 522 00:21:21,868 --> 00:21:23,828 Speaker 2: get out there on the field, I get in rhythm, 523 00:21:23,868 --> 00:21:26,428 Speaker 2: I'm out there with my guys. He makes it happen. 524 00:21:26,788 --> 00:21:28,628 Speaker 2: But you'd be foolish to say, oh, he's not going 525 00:21:28,668 --> 00:21:30,268 Speaker 2: to have to elevate his game. Of course he is. 526 00:21:30,308 --> 00:21:32,508 Speaker 2: He's a young player in the NFL that every time 527 00:21:32,548 --> 00:21:35,108 Speaker 2: he steps foot after a season he's gotten better. We 528 00:21:35,188 --> 00:21:36,748 Speaker 2: have no reason to believe that he's not going to 529 00:21:36,828 --> 00:21:39,908 Speaker 2: continue to elevate his game. The question now comes in 530 00:21:39,948 --> 00:21:43,028 Speaker 2: his division in the AFC, which quarterback is able to 531 00:21:43,068 --> 00:21:45,308 Speaker 2: elevate their game the most to say, Hey, that's why 532 00:21:45,348 --> 00:21:48,428 Speaker 2: we're the ones winning, because whether it's Mahomes, whether it's 533 00:21:48,468 --> 00:21:51,308 Speaker 2: Josh Allen or Joe Burrow. We watched them this past 534 00:21:51,388 --> 00:21:54,108 Speaker 2: year and those games come down to critical moments at 535 00:21:54,108 --> 00:21:56,428 Speaker 2: the end. And that AFC Championship game, it was that 536 00:21:56,508 --> 00:21:59,748 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes scrambled with a penalty that won that game. 537 00:21:59,988 --> 00:22:02,028 Speaker 2: But Mahomes was the one who was flawless in that game. 538 00:22:02,068 --> 00:22:05,068 Speaker 2: Burrow had the two interceptions. So it's those small details 539 00:22:05,068 --> 00:22:06,668 Speaker 2: on those little things, and those are going to be 540 00:22:06,748 --> 00:22:08,708 Speaker 2: what he has to do if they actually want to 541 00:22:08,708 --> 00:22:10,868 Speaker 2: be able to hoist out Lombardi and just not get close. 542 00:22:11,188 --> 00:22:11,708 Speaker 2: It's so hard. 543 00:22:11,748 --> 00:22:14,548 Speaker 1: There's so many fantastic quarterbacks and almost all of them 544 00:22:14,708 --> 00:22:17,028 Speaker 1: are gonna end this season with a loss. Some of 545 00:22:17,068 --> 00:22:18,908 Speaker 1: them are going to have a really disappointing season. They 546 00:22:18,908 --> 00:22:21,348 Speaker 1: don't make the playoffs. There's just no room at the end. 547 00:22:21,748 --> 00:22:25,628 Speaker 6: Ideally you get better, yeah, right, exactly, he's a young player, 548 00:22:25,748 --> 00:22:28,668 Speaker 6: he's at a premier position and he's about to get paid. 549 00:22:28,388 --> 00:22:29,028 Speaker 5: A lot of money. 550 00:22:29,148 --> 00:22:31,028 Speaker 6: So ideally, yeah, you want to improve, you want to 551 00:22:31,028 --> 00:22:31,468 Speaker 6: get better. 552 00:22:31,668 --> 00:22:33,548 Speaker 2: But like to say, oh, he needs to be better. 553 00:22:33,708 --> 00:22:36,908 Speaker 6: And Joseph Asai last year in the AFC Championship game 554 00:22:37,068 --> 00:22:39,468 Speaker 6: an unfortunate situation where he hits the player and all 555 00:22:39,468 --> 00:22:41,628 Speaker 6: of a sudden there's a penalty right there. The year before, 556 00:22:41,668 --> 00:22:44,388 Speaker 6: Eli Apple gives up a touchdown. Yes, they got the football. Look, 557 00:22:45,068 --> 00:22:48,388 Speaker 6: Tom Brady won ten conference championship games. 558 00:22:49,188 --> 00:22:52,228 Speaker 2: He lost four. You're gonna lose them, especially in the AFC. 559 00:22:52,628 --> 00:22:54,588 Speaker 6: And then you add in the Super Bowl losses as well. 560 00:22:54,588 --> 00:22:56,148 Speaker 2: I mean you hear it all the time. It's such 561 00:22:56,188 --> 00:22:56,828 Speaker 2: a cliche. 562 00:22:56,868 --> 00:22:59,428 Speaker 6: Only one team gets to end the season the way 563 00:22:59,428 --> 00:23:01,468 Speaker 6: that they want to end the season, the Marlon Jackson 564 00:23:01,748 --> 00:23:04,148 Speaker 6: and you know Peyton Manning too as well. 565 00:23:04,148 --> 00:23:05,028 Speaker 2: On the other side of it. 566 00:23:05,068 --> 00:23:08,868 Speaker 6: So you know, Joe Burrow I think has been good enough. Yes, 567 00:23:08,908 --> 00:23:11,668 Speaker 6: you want to get better, but he's certainly gotten them 568 00:23:11,708 --> 00:23:13,548 Speaker 6: and put them in a position to win it all 569 00:23:13,588 --> 00:23:14,428 Speaker 6: in the postseason. 570 00:23:14,668 --> 00:23:16,508 Speaker 2: It's just there are other factors that play. 571 00:23:16,588 --> 00:23:16,868 Speaker 3: Jason. 572 00:23:17,708 --> 00:23:20,028 Speaker 5: I look at the division. Let's see the tears again. 573 00:23:20,148 --> 00:23:22,548 Speaker 5: Just go through the quarterback, look at the quarterback. 574 00:23:22,668 --> 00:23:25,948 Speaker 4: I really focus on the division and how Joe Burrow 575 00:23:25,988 --> 00:23:27,068 Speaker 4: has to take care of You know. 576 00:23:27,028 --> 00:23:29,628 Speaker 5: It's tough up there at the top. We know how 577 00:23:29,628 --> 00:23:32,508 Speaker 5: he feels about Mahomes. Burrow himself is on the second 578 00:23:32,548 --> 00:23:35,348 Speaker 5: and then right around the bicep. You know he's got 579 00:23:35,388 --> 00:23:38,348 Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson, he split with him last year, and then 580 00:23:38,508 --> 00:23:41,348 Speaker 5: you know he's had My goodness, where is Josh Allen? 581 00:23:41,348 --> 00:23:41,468 Speaker 1: There? 582 00:23:41,468 --> 00:23:44,588 Speaker 4: He is by the by the deltoid, by the deltoid. 583 00:23:45,468 --> 00:23:49,308 Speaker 2: Tannehill though, sorry, right, you're right anyways. 584 00:23:49,028 --> 00:23:53,188 Speaker 1: There, I don't know what my honest reaction this is. 585 00:23:53,268 --> 00:23:54,628 Speaker 3: The fences are still too small. 586 00:23:54,988 --> 00:23:58,228 Speaker 1: Kyle's AFC quarterback tiers takes up sixty percent of the thing. 587 00:23:58,668 --> 00:24:00,708 Speaker 1: It's not about me, guys, it's. 588 00:24:00,508 --> 00:24:01,628 Speaker 2: So of the quarterbacks. 589 00:24:01,788 --> 00:24:05,108 Speaker 4: Betty who I think Burrow needs to sweep the division. Honestly, 590 00:24:05,148 --> 00:24:07,108 Speaker 4: he's got to take care of business in his house 591 00:24:07,228 --> 00:24:09,708 Speaker 4: because he's making it entirely too hard against the rest 592 00:24:09,748 --> 00:24:11,348 Speaker 4: of the league. He went nine and one against the 593 00:24:11,428 --> 00:24:12,948 Speaker 4: nflast year, but he went three and three of his 594 00:24:12,948 --> 00:24:14,628 Speaker 4: own division, Like, you got to come out on top. 595 00:24:14,668 --> 00:24:16,708 Speaker 4: Stop making it a bigger uphill climb than you need to, 596 00:24:16,908 --> 00:24:18,388 Speaker 4: like as up Kyle's warhead. 597 00:24:18,468 --> 00:24:20,908 Speaker 2: Yeah, stay here, you just do the show here. 598 00:24:21,028 --> 00:24:21,468 Speaker 3: This is this. 599 00:24:21,668 --> 00:24:24,188 Speaker 2: We'll just do the show like this. All right, there 600 00:24:24,188 --> 00:24:24,508 Speaker 2: you go. 601 00:24:24,988 --> 00:24:27,068 Speaker 9: It's not this is all about me and you guys 602 00:24:27,108 --> 00:24:28,788 Speaker 9: just here in the background. Okay, this will be a 603 00:24:28,788 --> 00:24:33,188 Speaker 9: good show. I have another proposal. What if we made 604 00:24:33,188 --> 00:24:35,308 Speaker 9: the fifth tier as big as you were? Because the 605 00:24:35,308 --> 00:24:37,228 Speaker 9: fifth tier was Jimmy by himself. 606 00:24:37,348 --> 00:24:40,388 Speaker 1: Oh well, now you're talking. Now we got something like 607 00:24:40,468 --> 00:24:42,108 Speaker 1: but in the meantime, no, we don't. 608 00:24:42,268 --> 00:24:44,068 Speaker 2: I can't believe you just put your face in a camera. 609 00:24:44,108 --> 00:24:47,028 Speaker 2: That's what we're doing here. It's the background is irrelevant. 610 00:24:47,108 --> 00:24:47,548 Speaker 6: Just this. 611 00:24:48,148 --> 00:24:50,308 Speaker 1: I promise I didn't ask for that, and I promise 612 00:24:50,588 --> 00:24:52,868 Speaker 1: I had my stupid thumb hooked in my pocket, Like 613 00:24:53,428 --> 00:24:54,228 Speaker 1: what a loser? 614 00:24:55,148 --> 00:24:58,268 Speaker 2: No one, I'm as hell.

Let's chat. 628 00:25:29,348 --> 00:25:32,308 Speaker 4: Let's chat about your upcoming season and also your time 629 00:25:32,348 --> 00:25:34,908 Speaker 4: in Pittsburgh so far. You're coming off a career year 630 00:25:34,948 --> 00:25:38,708 Speaker 4: where you tied the NFL lead for force fumbles with five. 631 00:25:38,828 --> 00:25:41,108 Speaker 5: You also had the Steelers of fourteen and a half sacks, 632 00:25:41,468 --> 00:25:42,548 Speaker 5: six most in the NFL. 633 00:25:42,708 --> 00:25:44,708 Speaker 4: Is great, but you're going to have a healthy TJ 634 00:25:44,788 --> 00:25:48,388 Speaker 4: wapback this season. Expectations. Can you tell us for yourself 635 00:25:48,508 --> 00:25:51,228 Speaker 4: this defense? What is the game plan for you as 636 00:25:51,228 --> 00:25:53,028 Speaker 4: you enter and maybe try to capitalize on what you 637 00:25:53,108 --> 00:25:53,988 Speaker 4: had going last year? 638 00:25:55,148 --> 00:25:55,348 Speaker 3: Yeah? 639 00:25:55,388 --> 00:25:57,988 Speaker 10: I think first and foremost, just the main goal for 640 00:25:58,108 --> 00:25:59,548 Speaker 10: me is just to be the best that I can 641 00:25:59,588 --> 00:26:01,628 Speaker 10: be to help this team win a super Bowl, bring 642 00:26:01,708 --> 00:26:04,268 Speaker 10: number seven to the steel City. You know, for me, 643 00:26:04,468 --> 00:26:05,708 Speaker 10: that's just you know, being the best that I can 644 00:26:05,788 --> 00:26:08,068 Speaker 10: be on a weekend, week out basis staying consistent and 645 00:26:08,108 --> 00:26:10,988 Speaker 10: playing consistent. You know, I go back and watch my 646 00:26:10,988 --> 00:26:12,948 Speaker 10: film from last year, and there's so many different ways 647 00:26:12,948 --> 00:26:14,628 Speaker 10: that I can improve, so many different areas that I 648 00:26:14,628 --> 00:26:17,908 Speaker 10: could be better, and so just just never never being complacent, 649 00:26:17,948 --> 00:26:20,668 Speaker 10: never getting content, you know, something that's always big with me. 650 00:26:21,228 --> 00:26:23,548 Speaker 10: And so you know last year, you know, having numbers 651 00:26:23,548 --> 00:26:25,108 Speaker 10: that I had, you don't want to have better numbers 652 00:26:25,148 --> 00:26:27,028 Speaker 10: this year. But you know, it all starts to just 653 00:26:27,068 --> 00:26:29,668 Speaker 10: be my best, helpless team, you know, win a super Bowl. 654 00:26:31,268 --> 00:26:33,668 Speaker 1: You keep saying consistent and that's in my mind, that's 655 00:26:33,708 --> 00:26:36,948 Speaker 1: the Steelers. That's Pittsburgh Steelers as an organization historically. Now, 656 00:26:37,068 --> 00:26:38,628 Speaker 1: I think you guys are going to the playoffs this year. 657 00:26:38,708 --> 00:26:39,188 Speaker 5: I really do. 658 00:26:39,228 --> 00:26:40,948 Speaker 1: I don't know how many other people do, but I've 659 00:26:40,988 --> 00:26:42,708 Speaker 1: said it. I think you will be a playoff team 660 00:26:42,748 --> 00:26:45,068 Speaker 1: this year. But man, that division is good. It's probably 661 00:26:45,068 --> 00:26:47,988 Speaker 1: looked at as the best division in the entire league. 662 00:26:48,148 --> 00:26:50,548 Speaker 1: I look at the quarterbacks, your job to get them? 663 00:26:50,708 --> 00:26:53,148 Speaker 1: Yeah you have you have Deshaun, and you have Lamar 664 00:26:53,348 --> 00:26:55,828 Speaker 1: and you have Burrow. What are the challenges of each 665 00:26:55,828 --> 00:26:58,108 Speaker 1: of those three guys?

But earlier this 714 00:28:51,868 --> 00:28:54,508 Speaker 2: summer you said that the Steelers could be the best 715 00:28:54,548 --> 00:28:57,588 Speaker 2: defense in the NFL. And obviously you guys have some 716 00:28:57,628 --> 00:29:00,348 Speaker 2: new additions free agents like Pat Peterson, one of my 717 00:29:00,428 --> 00:29:03,348 Speaker 2: old teammates, and Land and Roberts. Some rookies joined the 718 00:29:03,388 --> 00:29:05,988 Speaker 2: team as well. And you guys finished last year, the 719 00:29:06,028 --> 00:29:08,108 Speaker 2: last seven weeks it was second in points per game, 720 00:29:08,148 --> 00:29:10,788 Speaker 2: first and yards per game. What are the new additions 721 00:29:10,828 --> 00:29:12,228 Speaker 2: like and what does this defense have to do to 722 00:29:12,228 --> 00:29:13,948 Speaker 2: be the number one throughout the entire season. 723 00:29:14,788 --> 00:29:17,468 Speaker 10: Yeah, I think we've added a lot of key pieces, 724 00:29:17,508 --> 00:29:19,868 Speaker 10: you know here in this offseason, you know, like I said, 725 00:29:19,868 --> 00:29:23,588 Speaker 10: guys like you know like Pat p Uhland and Roberts, 726 00:29:24,108 --> 00:29:27,508 Speaker 10: other guys as well, Cole Hokum so and just always 727 00:29:27,588 --> 00:29:29,468 Speaker 10: also had you know, the young guys rookies as well, 728 00:29:29,468 --> 00:29:32,588 Speaker 10: and Nick Curby enjoy prgenior Kyatu kind of been and 729 00:29:32,668 --> 00:29:35,228 Speaker 10: so just having guys like that, especially as young guys 730 00:29:35,268 --> 00:29:37,748 Speaker 10: that come in and contribute, this is huge. But I 731 00:29:37,788 --> 00:29:40,588 Speaker 10: think you know, we have you know, depth and talent 732 00:29:40,708 --> 00:29:42,988 Speaker 10: all around the board, and for us, it's just you know, 733 00:29:43,348 --> 00:29:45,708 Speaker 10: staying healthy and like I said earlier with my play, 734 00:29:45,828 --> 00:29:46,868 Speaker 10: just overalls of defense. 735 00:29:46,868 --> 00:29:48,508 Speaker 3: We just got to be consistent, you know. 736 00:29:48,508 --> 00:29:50,388 Speaker 10: I think that this last preseason game, we came out, 737 00:29:50,428 --> 00:29:51,948 Speaker 10: we started fast, and I think, you know, the key 738 00:29:51,988 --> 00:29:54,308 Speaker 10: to being a good defense is coming out and starting 739 00:29:54,388 --> 00:29:56,068 Speaker 10: fast every single game. It can't just be one game 740 00:29:56,068 --> 00:29:57,468 Speaker 10: where we come out and start fast.

They got a lot 751 00:30:21,228 --> 00:30:23,628 Speaker 5: going on between Brock Party, Christian McCaffrey. 752 00:30:23,708 --> 00:30:27,228 Speaker 4: Now you open the season with them at home against 753 00:30:27,268 --> 00:30:30,348 Speaker 4: the forty nine ers.
