1
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Hey, what's up, everybody? I will sell then this year

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: good Morning Football headline from NFL Network. The NFC West

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: has expected to be one of the toughest divisions during

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one season. The division champion Seahawks seemingly

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: have resolved any issues with dark quarterback Russell Wilson. The Rams,

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: who won a playoff game in Seattle last year, upgraded

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: they are signal caller by acquiring Matthew Stafford, so that

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: brings us to Arizona and Cardinals general manager Steve Kim

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: was asked about having a franchise QB like twenty nineteen

10
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: pers overall pick Kyler Murray. He said, it's so exciting

11
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: for me to have the opportunity to build around a

12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: young player. Having a franchise player who's not a big

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: hit on your salary cap is certainly a great position

14
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: to be in in the NFL. Meanwhile, another former first

15
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: overall pick has been in the news lately. Alex Smith,

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: through San Francisco took with the number one overall pick

17
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: back and the two thousand and five draft. Was asked

18
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: about his draft class, may Aaron Rodgers, the Packers and

19
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: their franchise QB are currently meyern a stalemate, and did

20
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: an interview with USA Today's Sports, Smith's saying quote clearly

21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: it's not in a deal situation and not what it

22
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: should be, and that Rogers's quote owed a certain level

23
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: of respect from the team. Smith's former teammate in Washington,

24
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: while receiver Terry mclauren certainly respected what the QB did

25
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: for him and the football team last year, leading them

26
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 1: to an NFC East Division title. During a recent interview

27
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: on Sirius XM Radio, mclauren marveled at Smith's toughness and leadership.

28
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: I'm out there running route, so I can't quite feel

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: the pressure of the rush or seeing those hitts that

30
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: he's possibly taken. But I think that was which was

31
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: so unique for our team last year, is him and

32
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: Coach Rivera were so unique in what the adversities they

33
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: were going through last year. And it was a little

34
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: similar in the sense of just obviously coach Rivera is

35
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: dealing with cancer, but Alex Smith was dealing with a

36
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: life threatening injury. And you know, just they they approached practice,

37
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: like I said, you never would have known anything was

38
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: wrong with them either way. They never had to feel

39
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: sorry for me moment. They never really had moments where

40
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: they were like they were going to use what they

41
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: were going through as an excuse. They were always going

42
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: to try to put their best foot forward. And one

43
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: thing with Alex he was just he was just cool

44
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: man like he you come in, you come in the huddle,

45
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: when you see eleven coming in and you have a

46
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: you feel like you have a chance. And the way

47
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: he galvanized our team and put us in the best

48
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: position to make a playoff run was was really cool

49
