Let's talk about the 33 00:02:07,708 --> 00:02:11,668 Speaker 1: franchise tag deadline. Four pm today Baltimore Ravens about talks 34 00:02:11,668 --> 00:02:14,308 Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson. In fact, Eric to Costa, the general manager, 35 00:02:14,628 --> 00:02:17,868 Speaker 1: went down to Florida, where Lamar Jackson currently is, to 36 00:02:18,068 --> 00:02:20,628 Speaker 1: try to get a deal. The issue isn't whether the 37 00:02:20,708 --> 00:02:23,468 Speaker 1: Ravens want to sign Lamar Jackson to a long term deal. 38 00:02:23,868 --> 00:02:27,508 Speaker 1: They do. They have tried various options. It just doesn't 39 00:02:27,548 --> 00:02:31,148 Speaker 1: seem like Lamar Jackson himself has engaged in this process. 40 00:02:31,468 --> 00:02:33,708 Speaker 1: Does not sound to me like there is momentum to 41 00:02:33,788 --> 00:02:36,388 Speaker 1: getting a deal done. They will tag him today. Just 42 00:02:36,468 --> 00:02:40,388 Speaker 1: a matter of which tag Lamar Jackson ends up getting. Meanwhile, 43 00:02:40,628 --> 00:02:44,028 Speaker 1: the Daniel Jones saga continues as well. The Giants have 44 00:02:44,188 --> 00:02:47,308 Speaker 1: made offers to Daniel Jones for a long term deal. 45 00:02:47,348 --> 00:02:50,788 Speaker 1: In fact, those talks continued deep into the night. It 46 00:02:50,908 --> 00:02:53,308 Speaker 1: got a little tense, tension bode over at times that 47 00:02:53,388 --> 00:02:57,028 Speaker 1: can happen. These are serious conversations. But certainly besides it 48 00:02:57,148 --> 00:02:59,388 Speaker 1: did keep talking into the wee hours of the night. 49 00:02:59,748 --> 00:03:02,908 Speaker 1: Still about nine hours to go or yeah, nine hours 50 00:03:02,948 --> 00:03:06,108 Speaker 1: to go until the deadline. They will keep speaking as well. 51 00:03:06,108 --> 00:03:09,908 Speaker 1: We'll see if they could beat the deadline get a deal. Meanwhile, 52 00:03:10,028 --> 00:03:13,508 Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks beat the deadline. They locked up Gino Smith, 53 00:03:13,828 --> 00:03:16,028 Speaker 1: their quarterback for the twenty twenty three season and a 54 00:03:16,148 --> 00:03:18,628 Speaker 1: three year deal. He gets three years, one hundred and 55 00:03:18,748 --> 00:03:21,548 Speaker 1: five million. The key number here guys fifty two million 56 00:03:21,588 --> 00:03:25,428 Speaker 1: dollars over the next calendar year, not season, but calendar year. 57 00:03:25,468 --> 00:03:28,628 Speaker 1: And for Gino Smith, the long term security that he 58 00:03:28,748 --> 00:03:32,028 Speaker 1: has wanted, the biggest payday of his career and then 59 00:03:32,068 --> 00:03:34,108 Speaker 1: there's this situation for the New Orleans States. This was 60 00:03:34,188 --> 00:03:37,028 Speaker 1: not a franchise tag deal. This was a free agent deal. 61 00:03:37,068 --> 00:03:40,588 Speaker 1: But they locked up Derek Carr. As they said, they 62 00:03:40,748 --> 00:03:43,068 Speaker 1: got their guy. It is a full year, hundred and 63 00:03:43,188 --> 00:03:46,348 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars deal. The key numbers here one hundred 64 00:03:46,388 --> 00:03:49,988 Speaker 1: million dollars in total guarantees, but maybe the more key 65 00:03:50,108 --> 00:03:54,188 Speaker 1: numbers sixty million dollars fully guaranteed over two years. That 66 00:03:54,348 --> 00:03:56,268 Speaker 1: is the base of the deal. He gets ten more 67 00:03:56,308 --> 00:03:59,548 Speaker 1: million dollars fully guaranteed after year once. So the way 68 00:03:59,588 --> 00:04:02,508 Speaker 1: to look at this two years, sixty million fully guaranteed 69 00:04:02,708 --> 00:04:08,428 Speaker 1: within their ten million dollars coming later. Rap Sheet. I 70 00:04:08,548 --> 00:04:11,148 Speaker 1: love the Derek Carr angle to this because the Saints 71 00:04:11,268 --> 00:04:12,948 Speaker 1: were always the team that we had kind of in 72 00:04:12,988 --> 00:04:15,068 Speaker 1: the front runner of the clubhouse in terms of all 73 00:04:15,148 --> 00:04:17,348 Speaker 1: the time, all the reports we had heard in those conversations. 74 00:04:17,388 --> 00:04:19,348 Speaker 1: So the fact that he still forced the raider's hand 75 00:04:19,388 --> 00:04:20,988 Speaker 1: to let him go and he just went right back 76 00:04:21,028 --> 00:04:24,028 Speaker 1: to them is good for Derek Carr. Again, Petty Derek Carr, 77 00:04:24,068 --> 00:04:27,668 Speaker 1: I am here for it, rap Sheet. Thanks the the 78 00:04:28,068 --> 00:04:30,388 Speaker 1: challenge to where the sunglasses. The entire report is a 79 00:04:30,428 --> 00:04:32,788 Speaker 1: tremendous one, and we appreciate that you have accepted it 80 00:04:33,028 --> 00:04:34,788 Speaker 1: and did it admirably. We'll talk to you in a 81 00:04:34,868 --> 00:04:37,868 Speaker 1: little bit. So we are so lucky to have someone 82 00:04:37,948 --> 00:04:40,468 Speaker 1: here at the table who knows the NFC South as 83 00:04:40,548 --> 00:04:42,868 Speaker 1: well as anybody his Cameron Wolf. And again, like we 84 00:04:42,908 --> 00:04:45,068 Speaker 1: said first day at the breakfast table yesterday, and he 85 00:04:45,228 --> 00:04:48,148 Speaker 1: absolutely nailed one of his guesses on a segment we 86 00:04:48,268 --> 00:04:53,028 Speaker 1: had in terms of free agent quarterbacks. Derek Carr. Where 87 00:04:53,108 --> 00:04:56,268 Speaker 1: can I put that? He would be at home. Let's 88 00:04:56,308 --> 00:05:01,468 Speaker 1: go to New Orleans, New Orleans. There you go. Everybody 89 00:05:01,548 --> 00:05:04,228 Speaker 1: loves the weekend New US. Sure, yeah, this is the team. 90 00:05:04,388 --> 00:05:05,828 Speaker 1: I don't know how they're gonna make it work salary 91 00:05:05,868 --> 00:05:08,388 Speaker 1: cap wise, I have no idea, but they need a 92 00:05:08,468 --> 00:05:12,828 Speaker 1: quarterback badly, and Derek Carr within that offense takes that team, 93 00:05:12,908 --> 00:05:16,268 Speaker 1: to my opinion, leaders of the NFC South, you have 94 00:05:16,388 --> 00:05:18,188 Speaker 1: a team where they tried to make it work with 95 00:05:18,308 --> 00:05:21,028 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, with Jamis Winston. Derek Carr, wherever you want 96 00:05:21,028 --> 00:05:23,868 Speaker 1: to say about him, he's upgrade over those two players. 97 00:05:23,948 --> 00:05:25,988 Speaker 1: And so I love Derek Carr in New Orleans. I 98 00:05:26,068 --> 00:05:28,708 Speaker 1: don't know how they make the money work. But let's 99 00:05:28,748 --> 00:05:37,628 Speaker 1: do it. Yes, we got off the area yesterday and 100 00:05:37,708 --> 00:05:39,868 Speaker 1: good morning football, and that happened like five minutes later. 101 00:05:39,908 --> 00:05:41,708 Speaker 1: And you probably walked around in New York City yesterday 102 00:05:41,708 --> 00:05:43,428 Speaker 1: with such pride that you're like, I got that right, 103 00:05:43,468 --> 00:05:45,508 Speaker 1: and now I get to go back to GMFC tomorrow 104 00:05:45,628 --> 00:05:47,108 Speaker 1: and talk about it. So what do you think designing 105 00:05:47,148 --> 00:05:49,188 Speaker 1: means that sometimes you get get things right every once 106 00:05:49,228 --> 00:05:53,308 Speaker 1: in a while. Yeah, the Saints refused to rebuild. They 107 00:05:53,428 --> 00:05:55,468 Speaker 1: feel like this is the route to go. The Saints 108 00:05:55,468 --> 00:05:59,028 Speaker 1: have not drafted first round quarterback says nineteen seventy one, Wow, 109 00:05:59,308 --> 00:06:03,748 Speaker 1: Archie Manning longest streaking. They want to continue to continue 110 00:06:03,788 --> 00:06:06,108 Speaker 1: to continue to the veteran route. And Derek Carr was 111 00:06:06,228 --> 00:06:09,108 Speaker 1: always a team that made the most sense for these Saints. 112 00:06:09,508 --> 00:06:12,508 Speaker 1: He was doing this shopping around, looking at the Jets, 113 00:06:12,628 --> 00:06:14,668 Speaker 1: looking at the Panthers, but the Saints were waiting for 114 00:06:14,868 --> 00:06:17,308 Speaker 1: him to come home and he did. And really, this 115 00:06:17,428 --> 00:06:19,948 Speaker 1: is a team where I mentioned it yesterday, you have 116 00:06:19,988 --> 00:06:21,948 Speaker 1: to figure out how to make it work. Salary cap wise. 117 00:06:22,148 --> 00:06:25,948 Speaker 1: Their VP of Football Administrations, Kay Harley, he's a wizard. 118 00:06:26,068 --> 00:06:28,508 Speaker 1: Every year they're fifty million dollars over the salary cap 119 00:06:28,668 --> 00:06:30,788 Speaker 1: they find a way to get under and also make 120 00:06:30,868 --> 00:06:33,108 Speaker 1: a big addition and cars that big edition this year. 121 00:06:33,388 --> 00:06:36,068 Speaker 1: Their move essentially tells you they look at this NFC 122 00:06:36,228 --> 00:06:38,828 Speaker 1: South and say it's wide open for us to take 123 00:06:39,068 --> 00:06:41,348 Speaker 1: for the next two years. You heard Ian say two years, 124 00:06:41,588 --> 00:06:44,748 Speaker 1: seventy million dollars, essentially saying we can take this division, 125 00:06:45,188 --> 00:06:47,828 Speaker 1: and they're probably right. The question I have is how 126 00:06:47,948 --> 00:06:51,628 Speaker 1: far can Derek Carr take them? This is big and 127 00:06:51,988 --> 00:06:55,308 Speaker 1: I'm interested to hear Aaron your thoughts on car because 128 00:06:55,588 --> 00:06:57,628 Speaker 1: you know, you asked anybody about Derek Carr. Usual the 129 00:06:57,668 --> 00:07:00,468 Speaker 1: first thing he says a great guy, great guy, great teammate. 130 00:07:01,068 --> 00:07:03,828 Speaker 1: That's not that's not ideal. You can get to the 131 00:07:03,908 --> 00:07:07,668 Speaker 1: great guy, great teammate after they say great player. So 132 00:07:07,828 --> 00:07:09,908 Speaker 1: Derek Carr is interesting because he has this whole kind 133 00:07:09,948 --> 00:07:13,188 Speaker 1: of legion of apologists, I think, and it's because he's 134 00:07:13,228 --> 00:07:15,068 Speaker 1: a great guy and a great teammate. We have David 135 00:07:15,108 --> 00:07:16,788 Speaker 1: Carr in the network who speaks for him all the time, 136 00:07:16,828 --> 00:07:20,308 Speaker 1: of course, which I respect. But the apologist for Derek Carr. 137 00:07:20,348 --> 00:07:23,108 Speaker 1: When you say he has never won a playoff game 138 00:07:23,268 --> 00:07:26,388 Speaker 1: he's played in one, they say, well, you know, he's 139 00:07:26,428 --> 00:07:28,548 Speaker 1: just he's they've never given him a defense. You've got 140 00:07:28,588 --> 00:07:31,748 Speaker 1: a defense. Now, he's got guys, he's got veteran guys, 141 00:07:31,788 --> 00:07:34,508 Speaker 1: he's got guys who have been there. That's out. And 142 00:07:34,628 --> 00:07:36,908 Speaker 1: then they say, well, you know, look, he's in that 143 00:07:36,988 --> 00:07:40,748 Speaker 1: division with Mahomes and it's just tough. Not anymore. He's 144 00:07:40,748 --> 00:07:43,788 Speaker 1: in a division with Kyle traskin friends as right now, 145 00:07:43,868 --> 00:07:46,668 Speaker 1: it's the softest division in the league. Now, maybe that'll change, 146 00:07:46,708 --> 00:07:48,948 Speaker 1: maybe they'll bring in some guys, but all of the 147 00:07:49,068 --> 00:07:51,308 Speaker 1: things the apologists say about he's never at a defense, 148 00:07:51,468 --> 00:07:54,708 Speaker 1: his division is too tough. Poof, it's time to go now. 149 00:07:54,908 --> 00:07:57,028 Speaker 1: You can't just be a great guy. Now, it's time 150 00:07:57,028 --> 00:07:58,908 Speaker 1: to put some skins on the wall because he has none. 151 00:07:59,228 --> 00:08:01,788 Speaker 1: There's very few guys who have accomplished as little as 152 00:08:01,868 --> 00:08:04,068 Speaker 1: he has in the scheme of things that still demand 153 00:08:04,188 --> 00:08:07,268 Speaker 1: that much respect. It's go time. He's got the weapons now. 154 00:08:07,508 --> 00:08:09,228 Speaker 1: And Aaron I, look at Derek Carr has been around 155 00:08:09,268 --> 00:08:11,628 Speaker 1: for close to a decade. You've played your entire career 156 00:08:11,668 --> 00:08:14,388 Speaker 1: with Derek Carr in the league. When guys talk Derek Carr, 157 00:08:14,428 --> 00:08:16,948 Speaker 1: when you're talking like what comes to my great guy, Well, 158 00:08:17,068 --> 00:08:19,348 Speaker 1: definitely a great guy and great teammate. I think that 159 00:08:19,428 --> 00:08:22,148 Speaker 1: will definitely help him getting getting those guys to buy 160 00:08:22,228 --> 00:08:25,148 Speaker 1: into him in that system that he's going into. But 161 00:08:25,508 --> 00:08:28,628 Speaker 1: I do also like his game. I think he showed 162 00:08:28,708 --> 00:08:30,748 Speaker 1: us a lot through the adversity that they had last 163 00:08:30,788 --> 00:08:34,308 Speaker 1: year and in Vegas and bringing those guys together, him 164 00:08:34,308 --> 00:08:37,468 Speaker 1: and rich Besacchi who took over, taking those guys over, 165 00:08:37,548 --> 00:08:39,628 Speaker 1: and you know, getting him to the to the playoffs, 166 00:08:40,108 --> 00:08:41,908 Speaker 1: even though they didn't win that game. So I think 167 00:08:41,948 --> 00:08:43,868 Speaker 1: that speaks a lot of how he can command a 168 00:08:43,948 --> 00:08:46,548 Speaker 1: locker room. I just like he mentioned the game. So 169 00:08:46,708 --> 00:08:48,228 Speaker 1: Derek Carr gets to the playoffs and here we go. 170 00:08:48,268 --> 00:08:50,148 Speaker 1: We're going down the field and it's it's them versus 171 00:08:50,188 --> 00:08:52,228 Speaker 1: Burrow and at the end of the play he throws 172 00:08:52,268 --> 00:08:55,148 Speaker 1: the throws the interception. That's gone. My problem with car 173 00:08:55,308 --> 00:08:58,708 Speaker 1: is like, really good player, really good guy. Is he 174 00:08:58,868 --> 00:09:01,748 Speaker 1: one of those guys He's never in the A ride, 175 00:09:01,788 --> 00:09:03,948 Speaker 1: He's never in the mahomes and like it's time to 176 00:09:04,108 --> 00:09:07,308 Speaker 1: find either join that or just don't. This is where 177 00:09:07,468 --> 00:09:09,108 Speaker 1: this is where he can make that jump. Like he said, 178 00:09:09,348 --> 00:09:12,428 Speaker 1: he has a defense behind him now there with the Saints. 179 00:09:12,948 --> 00:09:14,908 Speaker 1: I'll played against him. We did joint practice with them, 180 00:09:14,948 --> 00:09:17,668 Speaker 1: so I know their defense can play, so that I 181 00:09:17,948 --> 00:09:20,468 Speaker 1: feel like that won't be excused. It's a different situation. 182 00:09:20,588 --> 00:09:23,988 Speaker 1: But Matthew Stafford rewrote his legacy great call yeah when 183 00:09:24,068 --> 00:09:26,548 Speaker 1: he got shot MC great with the Rams. Derek Carr 184 00:09:26,628 --> 00:09:28,868 Speaker 1: great opportunity to do. So we'll see if he does. 185 00:09:29,028 --> 00:09:31,468 Speaker 1: The ripple effect. This has though on free agency in 186 00:09:31,548 --> 00:09:33,668 Speaker 1: general in terms of the quarterback spot, leaves them not 187 00:09:33,788 --> 00:09:35,908 Speaker 1: only within that division, but across the league. Some teams 188 00:09:36,108 --> 00:09:37,788 Speaker 1: very much in need, like the one that you just 189 00:09:37,908 --> 00:09:39,548 Speaker 1: mentioned here. When you come, you don't come to New York. 190 00:09:39,628 --> 00:09:41,948 Speaker 1: You play the Jets in Jersey, or play the Giants 191 00:09:41,988 --> 00:09:44,428 Speaker 1: in Jersey. But the Jets need a guy. So what 192 00:09:44,508 --> 00:09:46,228 Speaker 1: do you think that makes the rest of the league 193 00:09:46,308 --> 00:09:48,588 Speaker 1: look like? Because Derek Carr again was in a unique 194 00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:50,388 Speaker 1: spot where he could have gone anywhere at any time. 195 00:09:50,468 --> 00:09:52,668 Speaker 1: He was not on a calendar because he had been released. 196 00:09:52,748 --> 00:09:54,548 Speaker 1: So how do you think that makes pick a team? 197 00:09:54,588 --> 00:09:58,188 Speaker 1: If you want other free agent teams that need a quarterback, look, well, 198 00:09:58,308 --> 00:10:03,468 Speaker 1: Vegas definitely he's a quarterback. Yeah, the Jets. Yeah, who 199 00:10:03,548 --> 00:10:07,508 Speaker 1: else is out there that that needs a team by 200 00:10:07,948 --> 00:10:10,268 Speaker 1: I think the Raiders, I think with the Raiders, you 201 00:10:10,348 --> 00:10:12,868 Speaker 1: know they now are like if Derek Carr goes to 202 00:10:12,908 --> 00:10:14,588 Speaker 1: the Saints and just blows them out of the water, 203 00:10:14,628 --> 00:10:16,988 Speaker 1: wins a division, gets the playoffs, wins the playoff game 204 00:10:16,988 --> 00:10:19,868 Speaker 1: for the first time. The Raiders, if they pick the 205 00:10:19,948 --> 00:10:22,068 Speaker 1: wrong guy, if they don't pan out, well, they are 206 00:10:22,108 --> 00:10:24,428 Speaker 1: gonna look like fools, which at this point is kind 207 00:10:24,428 --> 00:10:26,308 Speaker 1: of what Derek car has been clamoring after. Do you 208 00:10:26,348 --> 00:10:28,348 Speaker 1: think the Raiders now feel the heat to get the 209 00:10:28,508 --> 00:10:30,708 Speaker 1: right guy more so than before? I think they do. 210 00:10:30,908 --> 00:10:32,948 Speaker 1: I think you'll see one of those teams go after 211 00:10:33,148 --> 00:10:34,988 Speaker 1: a veteran and then I think the other ones are 212 00:10:35,028 --> 00:10:37,148 Speaker 1: going to be draft picks. But I do think they 213 00:10:37,188 --> 00:10:39,788 Speaker 1: feel a little a little bit more pressure to nail it. 214 00:10:40,028 --> 00:10:42,508 Speaker 1: There's this guy, he's a little eccentric. He won four 215 00:10:42,588 --> 00:10:44,628 Speaker 1: MVPs in the league, play most of his career in 216 00:10:44,628 --> 00:10:47,068 Speaker 1: the NFC norths is a really good player. The Rogers 217 00:10:47,108 --> 00:10:51,468 Speaker 1: thon looms here, I'm talking about your guy. So it 218 00:10:51,588 --> 00:10:55,028 Speaker 1: wasn't actual cough. He wasn't trying. I thought he got 219 00:10:55,068 --> 00:10:57,068 Speaker 1: something caught in his throat. It's really like, all right, 220 00:10:57,148 --> 00:11:00,188 Speaker 1: So in the idea that Rogers would leave Green Bay, 221 00:11:00,388 --> 00:11:03,348 Speaker 1: maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. Now New Orleans is 222 00:11:03,388 --> 00:11:05,188 Speaker 1: out and meaning that the Jets are not going to 223 00:11:05,228 --> 00:11:07,668 Speaker 1: get Derek car there's a lot of heat on the 224 00:11:07,788 --> 00:11:11,108 Speaker 1: Jets and Rodgers. They're not getting Car. Maybe they're setting 225 00:11:11,148 --> 00:11:13,028 Speaker 1: him aside to us to go for number twelve and 226 00:11:13,188 --> 00:11:15,068 Speaker 1: leave it all out there. How does it make you 227 00:11:15,108 --> 00:11:18,188 Speaker 1: feel on it Tuesday morning? Uh, he's I hope he's 228 00:11:18,228 --> 00:11:21,388 Speaker 1: not going nowhere. Oh yeah, especially on Vegas. Uh. You 229 00:11:21,428 --> 00:11:23,628 Speaker 1: know he played with Tay, so I hope that wouldn't 230 00:11:23,628 --> 00:11:27,068 Speaker 1: have him. But uh, he's my quarterback, so I hope 231 00:11:27,068 --> 00:11:29,628 Speaker 1: he's back. Uh. If he's back, well you know we're 232 00:11:29,628 --> 00:11:31,508 Speaker 1: ready to ball with him. If he's not him, we 233 00:11:31,628 --> 00:11:33,988 Speaker 1: have Jordan Love who's who's more than capable, and he's 234 00:11:34,028 --> 00:11:36,828 Speaker 1: ready to ball as well, ready for a shot. I 235 00:11:36,948 --> 00:11:38,828 Speaker 1: love how you said that, that's my quarterback, said a 236 00:11:39,068 --> 00:11:41,668 Speaker 1: bit quarterback pumped it out a little bit right. The 237 00:11:41,988 --> 00:11:44,788 Speaker 1: Jets are obviously the team that everybody's talking about with 238 00:11:44,948 --> 00:11:48,028 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and they're in an interesting spot because they 239 00:11:48,188 --> 00:11:50,348 Speaker 1: were in the Derek Carr mix. But it always seemed 240 00:11:50,348 --> 00:11:53,388 Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers was their first priority. Derek Carr was 241 00:11:53,468 --> 00:11:56,788 Speaker 1: their second priority. You wait, you wait, You'll wait, maybe 242 00:11:56,828 --> 00:11:58,868 Speaker 1: you miss out, and now it seems like they have 243 00:11:58,988 --> 00:12:02,388 Speaker 1: to be all in on Aaron Rodgers. Imagine Jets fans 244 00:12:02,468 --> 00:12:05,268 Speaker 1: if you miss both Aaron Rodgers and Derek Carr. Obviously 245 00:12:05,428 --> 00:12:07,748 Speaker 1: Jimmy G becomes an option, but that seems like that 246 00:12:07,788 --> 00:12:10,748 Speaker 1: would be a disappointing fallback if you're a Jets fan. 247 00:12:10,988 --> 00:12:14,308 Speaker 1: And so it brings me back to this, Aaron, when 248 00:12:14,348 --> 00:12:17,268 Speaker 1: you look at the Jet situation, how much is are 249 00:12:17,348 --> 00:12:20,788 Speaker 1: you as a player looking and stressing about maybe do 250 00:12:20,948 --> 00:12:24,588 Speaker 1: they trade for your guy? I definitely keep seeing that 251 00:12:24,668 --> 00:12:28,828 Speaker 1: everywhere the Jets put Buana, but uh, you know he's 252 00:12:28,868 --> 00:12:30,988 Speaker 1: in as of right now, he's in Green Bay or 253 00:12:31,228 --> 00:12:34,948 Speaker 1: if he comes back and play, so uh don't want 254 00:12:35,028 --> 00:12:37,068 Speaker 1: him go anywhere. You guys can have one of those 255 00:12:37,188 --> 00:12:39,788 Speaker 1: other veteran quarterbacks. Jimmy G. He's a winner. You guys 256 00:12:39,828 --> 00:12:47,028 Speaker 1: can have Jimmy with him. I like Jimmy G. Yeah. Hey, 257 00:12:47,148 --> 00:12:49,668 Speaker 1: we're back on go Marie football and Ian Rappaport is 258 00:12:49,708 --> 00:12:52,388 Speaker 1: back without some glasses. Very good, me too. Um I 259 00:12:52,708 --> 00:12:56,148 Speaker 1: what do we need to know what's going on? Let's 260 00:12:56,148 --> 00:12:59,308 Speaker 1: talk about Geno Smith getting the big time contract that 261 00:12:59,388 --> 00:13:02,468 Speaker 1: he desired yesterday three years, one hundred and five million 262 00:13:02,508 --> 00:13:04,588 Speaker 1: dollars at its max to him get fifty two million 263 00:13:04,628 --> 00:13:07,388 Speaker 1: dollars old the next calendar year, which is a great 264 00:13:07,428 --> 00:13:09,468 Speaker 1: sum of money for Gino. Smith's only more than he 265 00:13:09,508 --> 00:13:12,708 Speaker 1: has ever made in his career. The NFL Comeback Player 266 00:13:12,748 --> 00:13:15,028 Speaker 1: of the Year really came back from just being not 267 00:13:15,148 --> 00:13:16,828 Speaker 1: as good as he was this year but still an 268 00:13:16,868 --> 00:13:19,868 Speaker 1: amazing season to establish himself as the Seahawks starter for 269 00:13:19,988 --> 00:13:23,068 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three season. But he used the other 270 00:13:23,148 --> 00:13:24,628 Speaker 1: part of this, and I know you guys are going 271 00:13:24,668 --> 00:13:27,108 Speaker 1: to discuss it after I say goodbye over here. What 272 00:13:27,308 --> 00:13:30,748 Speaker 1: this really is is essentially a one year commitment for Seattle. 273 00:13:30,788 --> 00:13:32,748 Speaker 1: He is going to be their starter next year. That 274 00:13:32,948 --> 00:13:35,188 Speaker 1: is what the money says. That is what the guarantee says. 275 00:13:35,188 --> 00:13:38,148 Speaker 1: And Pete Carroll has been very clear. The Seattle Seahawks 276 00:13:38,268 --> 00:13:41,708 Speaker 1: pick number five. It is a rare opportunity to pick 277 00:13:41,788 --> 00:13:43,668 Speaker 1: this high in the draft if they have a quarterback 278 00:13:43,708 --> 00:13:46,388 Speaker 1: they liked there, if the value was right, they would 279 00:13:46,468 --> 00:13:48,708 Speaker 1: not shy away for picking a quarterback. In the fact 280 00:13:48,748 --> 00:13:51,428 Speaker 1: that Gino is such a good guy and would actually 281 00:13:51,508 --> 00:13:54,428 Speaker 1: help a young quarterback as well, probably makes it a 282 00:13:54,548 --> 00:13:56,828 Speaker 1: good situation to come into, even if it ends up 283 00:13:57,028 --> 00:14:01,468 Speaker 1: hurting him playing time wise in the end. It's an 284 00:14:01,508 --> 00:14:03,628 Speaker 1: interesting stance. We were talking about this yesterday. Having a 285 00:14:03,708 --> 00:14:06,628 Speaker 1: veteran guy that is willing to give up his time 286 00:14:06,708 --> 00:14:10,068 Speaker 1: and energy and really know that your replacement is sitting 287 00:14:10,108 --> 00:14:11,388 Speaker 1: with you in the room. You have to have the 288 00:14:11,508 --> 00:14:13,028 Speaker 1: right guy to be able to do that. And Pete 289 00:14:13,108 --> 00:14:15,508 Speaker 1: Carroll has been in Geno Smith's corner or the entire 290 00:14:15,548 --> 00:14:17,868 Speaker 1: time he's been in Seattle. So we'll see ian if 291 00:14:17,988 --> 00:14:20,428 Speaker 1: that is the way that the Seahawks go at the 292 00:14:20,508 --> 00:14:22,028 Speaker 1: fifth pick. It's a really good point, but there's a 293 00:14:22,028 --> 00:14:24,028 Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks that could go off the board before 294 00:14:24,148 --> 00:14:26,068 Speaker 1: that at one through four. When we make of Geno 295 00:14:26,148 --> 00:14:29,068 Speaker 1: Smith's new deal, and do we think that the Seahawks 296 00:14:29,068 --> 00:14:32,788 Speaker 1: should still consider drafting at the number five spot. Cam Yeah, Jamie. 297 00:14:32,828 --> 00:14:34,988 Speaker 1: First of all, I'm happy for Gina talk about it. 298 00:14:35,148 --> 00:14:37,428 Speaker 1: I'm so happy about it because he's had such a 299 00:14:37,588 --> 00:14:41,388 Speaker 1: rare career redemption arc. First two years of his career, 300 00:14:41,468 --> 00:14:43,988 Speaker 1: first round pick didn't go well. He went seven straight 301 00:14:44,108 --> 00:14:46,628 Speaker 1: years without getting a true chance to be a full 302 00:14:46,708 --> 00:14:49,468 Speaker 1: time starter, and then he has this year where he 303 00:14:49,588 --> 00:14:51,988 Speaker 1: has one of the best stories of the year and 304 00:14:52,148 --> 00:14:56,468 Speaker 1: one of the best lines of the year. For the 305 00:14:56,548 --> 00:14:58,628 Speaker 1: folks you said had written you off, Maybe what do 306 00:14:58,668 --> 00:15:01,268 Speaker 1: you say to them? Yeah, they wrote me off. I 307 00:15:01,308 --> 00:15:04,028 Speaker 1: ain't right back, though, that's the problem. I ain't right back. 308 00:15:04,068 --> 00:15:10,268 Speaker 1: Let's go. Yeah, Gino's still not writing back, but they're 309 00:15:10,268 --> 00:15:12,628 Speaker 1: writing that check for him, Yeah, for sure. And so 310 00:15:13,308 --> 00:15:16,748 Speaker 1: I'm happy for him and his family for however last 311 00:15:16,948 --> 00:15:19,068 Speaker 1: long it last. And so the reality is they are 312 00:15:19,068 --> 00:15:20,868 Speaker 1: going to look at quarterbacks. This may be a one 313 00:15:20,948 --> 00:15:22,788 Speaker 1: or two year deal, but I hope he truly gets 314 00:15:22,828 --> 00:15:24,588 Speaker 1: a shot to prove that he could beat this guy 315 00:15:24,988 --> 00:15:28,428 Speaker 1: long term. And so honestly, I hope they don't. For me, 316 00:15:28,548 --> 00:15:30,628 Speaker 1: on a personal level, Geno is a South Florida guy. 317 00:15:30,908 --> 00:15:33,468 Speaker 1: I love to see him seceed. You don't see a 318 00:15:33,548 --> 00:15:36,828 Speaker 1: lot of black quarterbacks get a second opportunity like this 319 00:15:37,268 --> 00:15:39,668 Speaker 1: in his spot, and so I want him to secede 320 00:15:39,948 --> 00:15:42,668 Speaker 1: and somebody else draft one of these quarterbacks, and look, 321 00:15:42,708 --> 00:15:45,308 Speaker 1: the Seahawks famously love draft picks. Maybe they move back 322 00:15:45,348 --> 00:15:47,228 Speaker 1: and maybe they stick with Gino. But I'm sticking with you, 323 00:15:47,428 --> 00:15:50,628 Speaker 1: like I like Gino Smith, and this story doesn't end 324 00:15:50,708 --> 00:15:52,668 Speaker 1: this way. It's not supposed to end this way. I 325 00:15:52,748 --> 00:15:55,348 Speaker 1: want to go to more detail, just the the arc 326 00:15:55,668 --> 00:15:59,628 Speaker 1: of Gino's career sensation at West Virginia, just lighting it up. 327 00:15:59,668 --> 00:16:01,628 Speaker 1: He is the first football player that I remember Lebron 328 00:16:01,748 --> 00:16:03,828 Speaker 1: tweeting about, right, like, who is this guy? What's genial? 329 00:16:03,908 --> 00:16:08,228 Speaker 1: Lebron sweet about him, gets criticized for his demeanor and 330 00:16:08,268 --> 00:16:11,388 Speaker 1: his professionalism pre draft, shows up for draft night on 331 00:16:11,508 --> 00:16:14,868 Speaker 1: the first round. He goes there, doesn't get drafted, doesn't 332 00:16:14,868 --> 00:16:16,428 Speaker 1: get it. I believe we have a video of it, 333 00:16:16,628 --> 00:16:19,308 Speaker 1: doesn't get taken, goes home, comes back the next day 334 00:16:19,588 --> 00:16:22,548 Speaker 1: and is there and gets taken. Directly after Manti Tayo 335 00:16:22,788 --> 00:16:26,388 Speaker 1: jumps into the Jets, starts as a rookie, struggles injured, 336 00:16:26,468 --> 00:16:28,988 Speaker 1: including being punched by a teammate over six hundred dollars. 337 00:16:29,388 --> 00:16:34,028 Speaker 1: Terrible New York tabloids everywhere, coach fired, injured, Cut signs 338 00:16:34,068 --> 00:16:36,988 Speaker 1: with Giants becomes the face of the Eli Mannings starting 339 00:16:37,028 --> 00:16:40,428 Speaker 1: street being ended. Cut signs with Chargers, throws four passes, 340 00:16:40,588 --> 00:16:44,428 Speaker 1: Cut signs with Seahawks throws five passes, stays. Russell Wilson 341 00:16:44,508 --> 00:16:49,108 Speaker 1: finally leaves entire world, including this table, says there's no 342 00:16:49,188 --> 00:16:51,068 Speaker 1: way the Seahawks centered this season with Gino Smith is 343 00:16:51,068 --> 00:16:52,828 Speaker 1: their quarterback, they have to make a move. No, they 344 00:16:52,908 --> 00:16:55,588 Speaker 1: did it, They entered it. He killed it. He wins awards, 345 00:16:55,628 --> 00:16:58,148 Speaker 1: he wins games. The story doesn't end like this. It's 346 00:16:58,228 --> 00:17:00,708 Speaker 1: so rare and so unique. I like Gino Smith. I 347 00:17:00,748 --> 00:17:02,308 Speaker 1: don't know if everybody does. I don't care. It's a 348 00:17:02,388 --> 00:17:03,908 Speaker 1: good guy and a great story. I hope they stick 349 00:17:03,948 --> 00:17:07,268 Speaker 1: with him too well the game. Definitely hope hope they 350 00:17:07,308 --> 00:17:08,708 Speaker 1: stick with him. I bet you if he used to 351 00:17:08,708 --> 00:17:10,548 Speaker 1: ask him if you'd go back, if you could change 352 00:17:10,588 --> 00:17:12,748 Speaker 1: any of it, I bet you'd say no, because YEA, 353 00:17:13,028 --> 00:17:16,148 Speaker 1: his beauty, his beauty and the struggle. And I feel 354 00:17:16,148 --> 00:17:18,548 Speaker 1: like he's learned so much during that time to prepare 355 00:17:18,668 --> 00:17:20,828 Speaker 1: him for his moment when that was his moment. And 356 00:17:20,948 --> 00:17:23,108 Speaker 1: I think he's just gonna go out there this year 357 00:17:23,188 --> 00:17:26,228 Speaker 1: and ball and double down on himself and show the Hey, 358 00:17:26,348 --> 00:17:28,788 Speaker 1: this is really me. I'm that type of player and 359 00:17:29,388 --> 00:17:33,308 Speaker 1: I'm you guys can invest in me, which they did. 360 00:17:33,388 --> 00:17:35,588 Speaker 1: So I'm happy, like he said, happy for his family. 361 00:17:35,988 --> 00:17:38,748 Speaker 1: That's life changing. So congrats to Gino. What's crazy about 362 00:17:38,788 --> 00:17:40,868 Speaker 1: how this season in general went for Gino Smith and 363 00:17:40,948 --> 00:17:43,468 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Was that I did the Seahawks game in 364 00:17:43,588 --> 00:17:46,468 Speaker 1: Munich and Pete Carroll told us that up until end 365 00:17:46,508 --> 00:17:49,388 Speaker 1: of August, like that was actually the one quarterback battle 366 00:17:49,428 --> 00:17:51,388 Speaker 1: that was tried and true through all of training camp 367 00:17:51,428 --> 00:17:53,908 Speaker 1: between Drew Locke, who they had traded for with the Broncos, 368 00:17:53,988 --> 00:17:56,508 Speaker 1: and Gino Smith. Drew Locke gets sick, he gets COVID. 369 00:17:56,588 --> 00:17:59,828 Speaker 1: The final two weeks I think of preseason miss is 370 00:17:59,868 --> 00:18:02,428 Speaker 1: the start that was his time to have with the Seahawks. 371 00:18:02,628 --> 00:18:05,468 Speaker 1: Gino starts, does great, Drew and get back and practice, 372 00:18:05,508 --> 00:18:08,148 Speaker 1: get the reps, and that is when it became Geno 373 00:18:08,228 --> 00:18:10,948 Speaker 1: Smith's time. It was kind of circumstance. It was a coincidence, 374 00:18:10,988 --> 00:18:13,668 Speaker 1: it was all the things. It was destiny. It feels 375 00:18:13,708 --> 00:18:15,468 Speaker 1: like then for Geno Smith because he took that job 376 00:18:15,788 --> 00:18:18,388 Speaker 1: and ran away with it. That team that we saw 377 00:18:18,508 --> 00:18:20,668 Speaker 1: in Munich was an electric one at that point. They 378 00:18:20,708 --> 00:18:23,988 Speaker 1: had all these incredible draft picks Zihoks just crushed last year. 379 00:18:23,988 --> 00:18:26,148 Speaker 1: If they can run that back again with that number 380 00:18:26,148 --> 00:18:27,908 Speaker 1: five pick, Aaron, I'll pick your brain on this one. 381 00:18:28,268 --> 00:18:30,148 Speaker 1: Do you think the Seahawks should hold a five because 382 00:18:30,708 --> 00:18:34,308 Speaker 1: the top four teams are insanely quarterback mediant, Like, let's 383 00:18:34,308 --> 00:18:36,388 Speaker 1: consider the Bears do something where they don't need a 384 00:18:36,468 --> 00:18:38,908 Speaker 1: quarterbacks about the day trade away. One of those teams 385 00:18:38,988 --> 00:18:40,668 Speaker 1: goes up to get a quarterback. Do you think the 386 00:18:40,708 --> 00:18:42,908 Speaker 1: Seahawks should hold because you watch some of the defensive 387 00:18:42,948 --> 00:18:45,788 Speaker 1: guys coming out of the combine, like a Will Anderson, 388 00:18:46,108 --> 00:18:48,308 Speaker 1: like a Kalijah Cancy. Do you think the Seahawks hold 389 00:18:48,348 --> 00:18:50,908 Speaker 1: there and bolster their defense or trade back because they 390 00:18:51,148 --> 00:18:53,548 Speaker 1: could use more picks. I feel like they could trade back. 391 00:18:54,028 --> 00:18:56,308 Speaker 1: It could still be in the top ten, and yeah, 392 00:18:56,508 --> 00:18:59,668 Speaker 1: get more picks and bring more guys in because there's 393 00:18:59,708 --> 00:19:02,428 Speaker 1: definitely some capable guys in the mid rounds as well. 394 00:19:02,948 --> 00:19:05,148 Speaker 1: So I feel like this that's something they should do 395 00:19:05,188 --> 00:19:07,548 Speaker 1: if they're not going to go quarterback. If you go quarterback, 396 00:19:07,628 --> 00:19:09,788 Speaker 1: then probably stay up there in the top five. But 397 00:19:09,868 --> 00:19:13,668 Speaker 1: you got gene Us, trust in him, he'll lead you. Right. 398 00:19:13,948 --> 00:19:15,988 Speaker 1: Aaron heard the word Bears and he scored three touchdowns 399 00:19:16,028 --> 00:19:21,868 Speaker 1: just sitting there. But Gino one was with the Jets 400 00:19:21,908 --> 00:19:24,108 Speaker 1: and coming out that was probably before your time. That's 401 00:19:24,148 --> 00:19:26,348 Speaker 1: probably you're watching like in college and everything, and now 402 00:19:26,428 --> 00:19:27,828 Speaker 1: here he is and he's one of the thirty two 403 00:19:27,868 --> 00:19:29,468 Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks. What do you think of the story? Is 404 00:19:29,508 --> 00:19:31,428 Speaker 1: one of your peers, I think it's an amazing story. 405 00:19:31,548 --> 00:19:34,148 Speaker 1: Great story never giving up on yourself, always believing in yourself. 406 00:19:34,148 --> 00:19:36,948 Speaker 1: Because at those times you can get down when other guys, 407 00:19:36,988 --> 00:19:38,788 Speaker 1: when people like you said, people are writing you off, 408 00:19:39,068 --> 00:19:41,228 Speaker 1: you can get down on yourself. It can shake your confidence. 409 00:19:41,308 --> 00:19:44,388 Speaker 1: So for him to not ever let that affect him, 410 00:19:44,428 --> 00:19:47,148 Speaker 1: and when he finally got his opportunity, he did the 411 00:19:47,228 --> 00:19:50,668 Speaker 1: most thing he could with it, and he put all 412 00:19:50,668 --> 00:19:53,348 Speaker 1: the hard work that he's put in his show. There's 413 00:19:53,348 --> 00:19:55,708 Speaker 1: something incredible about having a head coach believe in you 414 00:19:55,828 --> 00:19:57,348 Speaker 1: in the time that you needed it in life, like 415 00:19:57,388 --> 00:19:59,588 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll kind of gave Gina Smith this opportunity we 416 00:19:59,628 --> 00:20:01,548 Speaker 1: saw with Mike McDaniel this year in Miami and two 417 00:20:01,548 --> 00:20:03,868 Speaker 1: it's Uncle Violoa. Just seems like that was the breath 418 00:20:03,948 --> 00:20:06,388 Speaker 1: that both those quarterbacks needed, and when it strikes at 419 00:20:06,388 --> 00:20:08,988 Speaker 1: the right time, it's so incredibly helpful. It's really going 420 00:20:09,028 --> 00:20:10,868 Speaker 1: to be interesting to see how to say as a player. 421 00:20:10,908 --> 00:20:12,268 Speaker 1: I'll say, as a player, a lot of times you 422 00:20:12,308 --> 00:20:15,668 Speaker 1: just need need an opportunity. Yeah, and a lot like 423 00:20:15,748 --> 00:20:17,108 Speaker 1: you said, a lot of people may not get that 424 00:20:17,548 --> 00:20:20,468 Speaker 1: second opportunity, so I'm happy he did get a second opportunity, 425 00:20:20,468 --> 00:20:22,708 Speaker 1: and then he did his thing with it. Yes, beauty 426 00:20:22,748 --> 00:20:25,268 Speaker 1: and the struggle. That was a great line. Yeah, and 427 00:20:25,348 --> 00:20:27,268 Speaker 1: he beat all those teams this year that had him 428 00:20:27,308 --> 00:20:28,868 Speaker 1: on their rosters up until that point. It was like 429 00:20:28,908 --> 00:20:35,548 Speaker 1: the ultimate redemption struggle. It's awesome, all right. This is 430 00:20:35,588 --> 00:20:38,108 Speaker 1: when Good Morning Football goes different from every other show. 431 00:20:38,308 --> 00:20:40,388 Speaker 1: We got hula hoops and toys and all kinds of things. 432 00:20:40,468 --> 00:20:43,108 Speaker 1: Most importantly, we have Aaron Jones of the Green Bay Packers. 433 00:20:43,188 --> 00:20:45,508 Speaker 1: We love this guy and number thirty three showtime. And 434 00:20:45,628 --> 00:20:48,828 Speaker 1: here's the deal. Aaron is an amazing career, incredible guy. 435 00:20:49,148 --> 00:20:51,708 Speaker 1: But he also happens to be teammates with the largest 436 00:20:51,748 --> 00:20:54,188 Speaker 1: figure in the entire sport, whose name is also Aaron. 437 00:20:54,628 --> 00:20:56,708 Speaker 1: Aaron was at the super Bowl. You're at all these events, 438 00:20:56,748 --> 00:20:58,868 Speaker 1: a million people ask you a millionaire and Rodgers questions, 439 00:20:58,908 --> 00:21:01,028 Speaker 1: and you're such a good sport about it. So we're 440 00:21:01,068 --> 00:21:02,588 Speaker 1: gonna credit you for that. We're gonna give you a 441 00:21:02,668 --> 00:21:05,948 Speaker 1: chance to get out of answering Aaron Rodgers questions in 442 00:21:06,028 --> 00:21:10,188 Speaker 1: a segment we're calling Aaron or Aaron. It's all in 443 00:21:10,228 --> 00:21:11,908 Speaker 1: the value, and there we go. We rocked up a 444 00:21:11,948 --> 00:21:14,828 Speaker 1: good thing. There's the two errors. Here's the deal. He's asked. 445 00:21:14,948 --> 00:21:17,828 Speaker 1: He's answered five million questions, Rogers, So we can dodge 446 00:21:17,868 --> 00:21:19,388 Speaker 1: this one or juke it. Rather, we're gonna give you 447 00:21:19,388 --> 00:21:21,268 Speaker 1: an opportunity to avoid each one. So we're gonna ask 448 00:21:21,308 --> 00:21:24,148 Speaker 1: you a question or give you some sort of challenge. 449 00:21:24,228 --> 00:21:26,988 Speaker 1: If you pass the challenge, you don't have to answer 450 00:21:26,988 --> 00:21:29,828 Speaker 1: the Aaron Rodgers question. However, if you fail, you must 451 00:21:29,988 --> 00:21:35,468 Speaker 1: answer the question about Aaron Rodgers. Are you ready Aaron Jones? Already? 452 00:21:35,708 --> 00:21:38,908 Speaker 1: Let's go all right. First up, Jamie, as you see, 453 00:21:39,028 --> 00:21:41,428 Speaker 1: she has a hula hoopier. We're gonna put twenty five 454 00:21:41,508 --> 00:21:44,108 Speaker 1: seconds on the clock. You're an elite athlete.

If you can 457 00:21:48,388 --> 00:21:50,308 Speaker 1: do it, hold on, wait for the clock. If you 458 00:21:50,388 --> 00:21:53,348 Speaker 1: can do it for twenty five seconds, you don't have 459 00:21:53,468 --> 00:21:56,308 Speaker 1: to answer the Rodger's question. If it falls, you answer it. 460 00:21:56,508 --> 00:21:58,308 Speaker 1: I think we have twenty five seconds on the clock. 461 00:21:58,428 --> 00:22:06,108 Speaker 1: Let's roll right going down, look at nott hips. Oh seconds, 462 00:22:07,628 --> 00:22:10,268 Speaker 1: three seconds story in my life? All right? I did 463 00:22:10,348 --> 00:22:14,068 Speaker 1: not succeed.

If Aaron Rodgers does not return to 466 00:22:21,148 --> 00:22:25,348 Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers this next season, which team would 467 00:22:25,348 --> 00:22:30,828 Speaker 1: you most want to see him play for? Mmm? I'm salty, 468 00:22:31,548 --> 00:22:33,028 Speaker 1: so I don't want to go. I don't want him 469 00:22:33,028 --> 00:22:34,668 Speaker 1: to go to Vegas. He could, he could come here 470 00:22:34,948 --> 00:22:37,508 Speaker 1: to the Jets. How are you gonna feel about Aaron 471 00:22:37,548 --> 00:22:40,748 Speaker 1: Rodgers be in a quarterback of the Jets. Uh, he's 472 00:22:40,748 --> 00:22:44,268 Speaker 1: in New York. He's a star. Yeah, but he's also 473 00:22:44,348 --> 00:22:46,628 Speaker 1: like I said, he's my quarterback. But he Uh, it 474 00:22:46,628 --> 00:22:49,468 Speaker 1: would be good to see him reunite with Hackey somebody 475 00:22:49,708 --> 00:22:52,988 Speaker 1: he knows.

Okay, fifteen seconds. You could just say random 537 00:26:41,188 --> 00:26:47,748 Speaker 1: names Julio Jones, pac Man Jones. Gwyneth Paltrow was in 538 00:26:47,828 --> 00:26:50,668 Speaker 1: a movie. She was a star of it. Uh, Bridget Jones, 539 00:26:50,788 --> 00:26:55,428 Speaker 1: brig you want to ask him the questions, Paula Jones, 540 00:26:55,988 --> 00:27:01,388 Speaker 1: I think that's all right. This is this is for real. Now. 541 00:27:02,988 --> 00:27:07,508 Speaker 1: Rogers is the greatest pack or ever ever. Why can't 542 00:27:07,588 --> 00:27:10,268 Speaker 1: he in the organization come out this morning and just 543 00:27:10,428 --> 00:27:12,588 Speaker 1: say we're gonna do it one more year and win 544 00:27:12,628 --> 00:27:16,668 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl? What's stopping that? I have no clue 545 00:27:16,708 --> 00:27:20,068 Speaker 1: what's stopping it. I'm not in communication with either one 546 00:27:20,068 --> 00:27:23,388 Speaker 1: of them about each other. But what do I think? 547 00:27:24,308 --> 00:27:26,788 Speaker 1: I think it's a Rodgers taking his time and say 548 00:27:26,868 --> 00:27:30,068 Speaker 1: if he wants to play or not winning out his options. 549 00:27:30,788 --> 00:27:34,388 Speaker 1: You know, he's a very smart person, and a lot 550 00:27:34,428 --> 00:27:37,868 Speaker 1: of times on football, you're not the one with the power, 551 00:27:38,028 --> 00:27:40,908 Speaker 1: the one who gets to make the choices of people upstairs. 552 00:27:40,948 --> 00:27:44,748 Speaker 1: So when players do have a little bit of say 553 00:27:44,788 --> 00:27:46,788 Speaker 1: so or where they want their career to go, they're 554 00:27:46,788 --> 00:27:49,468 Speaker 1: gonna take that. They're gonna take that. Calast want to 555 00:27:49,468 --> 00:27:53,388 Speaker 1: follow up to that. It's an interesting commentary that because 556 00:27:53,468 --> 00:27:55,868 Speaker 1: the Packers went through this years ago with Brett Farvean, 557 00:27:55,948 --> 00:27:57,788 Speaker 1: like they really like forced his hand, make a decision, 558 00:27:57,868 --> 00:28:00,068 Speaker 1: what are you doing coming back? He retires, but then 559 00:28:00,108 --> 00:28:02,468 Speaker 1: he returns to the game do you think the Packers 560 00:28:02,628 --> 00:28:04,828 Speaker 1: learn from that? And does that resonate with you that, like, 561 00:28:04,948 --> 00:28:06,868 Speaker 1: we want to give this man who is so important 562 00:28:06,908 --> 00:28:09,308 Speaker 1: to our team and organization the space to make this 563 00:28:09,468 --> 00:28:12,268 Speaker 1: decision because it is such a heavy one one hundred percent. 564 00:28:12,348 --> 00:28:15,628 Speaker 1: I think that's uh kind of the past two offseasons 565 00:28:15,708 --> 00:28:18,188 Speaker 1: the same way they let him make his decision, give 566 00:28:18,268 --> 00:28:20,788 Speaker 1: him his time. Yeah, because like you said, uh, you 567 00:28:20,948 --> 00:28:23,668 Speaker 1: learn from you learn from the past, you learn from Uh. 568 00:28:24,388 --> 00:28:26,708 Speaker 1: I wouldn't call it a mistake. They gave a rod 569 00:28:26,748 --> 00:28:28,948 Speaker 1: the chance to come out and play and become who 570 00:28:28,988 --> 00:28:31,308 Speaker 1: he is, but you learn from those things. It's interesting 571 00:28:31,308 --> 00:28:34,828 Speaker 1: because I, uh, Minnesota girl, I sometimes like have a 572 00:28:34,948 --> 00:28:37,308 Speaker 1: feigned annoyance with this whole, like Aaron Rodgers saying, only 573 00:28:37,308 --> 00:28:38,788 Speaker 1: because it's a lot to talk about all the time, 574 00:28:38,868 --> 00:28:41,308 Speaker 1: But when someone phrased it that way, to me, it 575 00:28:41,428 --> 00:28:44,108 Speaker 1: did make more sense because it's just it's a heavy 576 00:28:44,188 --> 00:28:45,908 Speaker 1: thing for us all to kind of tiptoe around, and 577 00:28:45,948 --> 00:28:47,548 Speaker 1: you got to I mean, like his team, it just 578 00:28:47,668 --> 00:28:50,428 Speaker 1: feels like everyone is so wildly affected by it, so 579 00:28:50,548 --> 00:28:51,828 Speaker 1: it feels like it would be a little bit more 580 00:28:51,868 --> 00:28:53,828 Speaker 1: convenient on us all to have an answer. But you 581 00:28:53,908 --> 00:28:56,108 Speaker 1: got to respect the guy's time and space. Definitely got 582 00:28:56,188 --> 00:28:58,908 Speaker 1: to respect his time in place, and as players on 583 00:28:58,948 --> 00:29:03,068 Speaker 1: his team, teammates, just control what you can control, absolutely absolutely, 584 00:29:03,108 --> 00:29:04,668 Speaker 1: and sitting over the saying, why can I just think 585 00:29:04,668 --> 00:29:10,948 Speaker 1: of Chipper Jones. Our next guest is not only a 586 00:29:11,068 --> 00:29:13,428 Speaker 1: rising star in the NFL, but now he's a hero 587 00:29:13,748 --> 00:29:16,668 Speaker 1: who helped save a man's life from a burning car 588 00:29:17,028 --> 00:29:18,908 Speaker 1: late Sunday night in Texas.

I was in an uber. 597 00:29:46,628 --> 00:29:49,028 Speaker 1: I was in the back of an uber and I say, 598 00:29:49,108 --> 00:29:51,468 Speaker 1: my head was down and my uber driver just started yelling, 599 00:29:51,908 --> 00:29:53,508 Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know, what's going on? I look 600 00:29:53,588 --> 00:29:55,668 Speaker 1: up and there's there's nobody on the street. And then 601 00:29:55,708 --> 00:29:57,388 Speaker 1: to the right, you know, I see a car that 602 00:29:57,508 --> 00:30:00,068 Speaker 1: has just crashed until like a pillar, like under under 603 00:30:00,108 --> 00:30:02,508 Speaker 1: a bridge, and it was on fire, and you know 604 00:30:02,708 --> 00:30:05,788 Speaker 1: we uh obviously I've never seeing anything like that. And 605 00:30:06,188 --> 00:30:08,508 Speaker 1: we passed the car and the airbags were out and 606 00:30:08,508 --> 00:30:11,228 Speaker 1: we didn't see anybody. So at that moment, I was 607 00:30:11,308 --> 00:30:12,788 Speaker 1: thinking the worst. I didn't I didn't think this guy 608 00:30:12,868 --> 00:30:15,428 Speaker 1: was alive. And my ober driver pulled over and he's like, 609 00:30:15,468 --> 00:30:16,988 Speaker 1: you know, called the police. We got to talk to 610 00:30:17,028 --> 00:30:18,388 Speaker 1: the police. I'm like, you know, we gotta go save 611 00:30:18,468 --> 00:30:21,108 Speaker 1: this guy. And you know, initially, you know, I ran 612 00:30:21,188 --> 00:30:23,988 Speaker 1: out and uh, you know, I wanted to go save him. 613 00:30:24,108 --> 00:30:26,148 Speaker 1: I'm running over there, me and my ober driver, and 614 00:30:26,428 --> 00:30:28,348 Speaker 1: as I kind of got there, then, you know, my 615 00:30:28,508 --> 00:30:30,348 Speaker 1: my senses kind of hit me on my R R weight. 616 00:30:30,428 --> 00:30:33,148 Speaker 1: Now you know this is a burning car. It's on fire. 617 00:30:33,548 --> 00:30:34,988 Speaker 1: You know, it'd be just my luck if I go 618 00:30:35,068 --> 00:30:37,948 Speaker 1: down there and try to save this guy. Car blows up. 619 00:30:37,988 --> 00:30:40,588 Speaker 1: You know, every everything, you know, the worst could happen. Um, 620 00:30:40,868 --> 00:30:44,228 Speaker 1: But you know myself, there's a gentleman named Arthur. His 621 00:30:44,548 --> 00:30:46,788 Speaker 1: friend was another lady. And my uber driver were all 622 00:30:46,868 --> 00:30:48,708 Speaker 1: right there. My ober driver he went, he went right down. 623 00:30:48,988 --> 00:30:50,868 Speaker 1: He opened up the passenger jewor he trying to see 624 00:30:50,868 --> 00:30:53,068 Speaker 1: if this guy is alive. Um, you know, we see 625 00:30:53,148 --> 00:30:54,668 Speaker 1: he was alive. And you know, we kind of keep 626 00:30:54,748 --> 00:30:56,948 Speaker 1: going back and forth, back and forth because you know, 627 00:30:56,988 --> 00:30:58,708 Speaker 1: we didn't have any knowledge of this car, you know, 628 00:30:58,708 --> 00:31:01,068 Speaker 1: if it was if it was gonna you know blow up. Um, 629 00:31:01,348 --> 00:31:04,948 Speaker 1: and uh, the driver was it was to muster like 630 00:31:05,108 --> 00:31:07,508 Speaker 1: enough strength to be able to move his upper body 631 00:31:07,548 --> 00:31:10,308 Speaker 1: a little bit over to the passenger side, and his 632 00:31:10,508 --> 00:31:13,828 Speaker 1: legs were still down. And then that's when we all 633 00:31:13,948 --> 00:31:16,428 Speaker 1: ran down and you know, we we pulled him out 634 00:31:16,468 --> 00:31:18,948 Speaker 1: of the car, um, but he was still close to 635 00:31:18,988 --> 00:31:20,828 Speaker 1: the car. And again we didn't know that this this 636 00:31:20,988 --> 00:31:23,068 Speaker 1: car was gonna blow up. So that's when I picked 637 00:31:23,148 --> 00:31:25,228 Speaker 1: him up. Um, Like I said, he's bleeding, you know, 638 00:31:25,388 --> 00:31:27,588 Speaker 1: blood is on me. We pick him up. I'll carry 639 00:31:27,668 --> 00:31:30,788 Speaker 1: him maybe like ten fifteen yards um. And then you know, 640 00:31:30,908 --> 00:31:33,588 Speaker 1: shortly after the police came and the firefighters and everything 641 00:31:33,668 --> 00:31:35,588 Speaker 1: like that, and um, they were just telling you know, 642 00:31:35,668 --> 00:31:39,308 Speaker 1: we we saved this man's life. So definitely a crazy experience, 643 00:31:39,348 --> 00:31:42,708 Speaker 1: one that I've never experienced before. Uh. You know, I've 644 00:31:42,748 --> 00:31:45,028 Speaker 1: always you know a backstory album. Getting my masters in 645 00:31:45,068 --> 00:31:47,308 Speaker 1: criminal justice I want to be in the FBI or 646 00:31:47,348 --> 00:31:49,708 Speaker 1: the Secret services.
