156
00:07:33,348 --> 00:07:35,068

157
00:07:35,108 --> 00:07:38,548
Speaker 5: former teammates, Drew Brees and Philip Rivers. Drew Brees, he

158
00:07:38,628 --> 00:07:40,628
Speaker 5: is a surgeon. He was so surgical in the way

159
00:07:40,668 --> 00:07:43,468
Speaker 5: that he played this game. And when you're that surgical

160
00:07:43,628 --> 00:07:48,548
Speaker 5: and that precise, there is very little, sometimes no room

161
00:07:48,588 --> 00:07:51,348
Speaker 5: for error when you're going to get somebody like Drew Brees. Now,

162
00:07:51,388 --> 00:07:54,628
Speaker 5: Philip Rivers was a different cat. Philip Rivers was a

163
00:07:54,628 --> 00:07:58,108
Speaker 5: lot like Peyton Manning. When you hear these quarterbacks nowadays,

164
00:07:58,388 --> 00:08:00,628
Speaker 5: when they talk about at the line of scrimmage, the

165
00:08:00,748 --> 00:08:03,668
Speaker 5: verbridge at which Jay us, you hear them saying opposite, opposite,

166
00:08:03,908 --> 00:08:06,388
Speaker 5: or kill kill. What that means is when they go

167
00:08:06,468 --> 00:08:09,028
Speaker 5: into the to the huddle, majority of these quarterbacks have

168
00:08:09,108 --> 00:08:11,948
Speaker 5: two plays. They have their primary play and then they

169
00:08:12,028 --> 00:08:15,548
Speaker 5: check to something that counters that primary play. Guys like

170
00:08:15,548 --> 00:08:19,948
Speaker 5: Philip Rivers, they had the entire one hundred plays playbook

171
00:08:19,988 --> 00:08:22,148
Speaker 5: at their disposal. And I had to go against this

172
00:08:22,268 --> 00:08:24,988
Speaker 5: man every single day in practice and to hear him

173
00:08:25,028 --> 00:08:29,028
Speaker 5: go from a no back offensive look with no running

174
00:08:29,068 --> 00:08:31,228
Speaker 5: backs in the backfield and switch to a two back

175
00:08:31,508 --> 00:08:33,628
Speaker 5: by bringing a tight end as a fullback and bringing

176
00:08:33,668 --> 00:08:36,668
Speaker 5: the running back in who is now lineup at wide receiver. Like,

177
00:08:36,828 --> 00:08:39,308
Speaker 5: imagine how hard it was to go against somebody like

178
00:08:39,348 --> 00:08:41,908
Speaker 5: that every single day and what that did for me

179
00:08:41,988 --> 00:08:44,868
Speaker 5: in my career and preparing me for what's to come

180
00:08:45,228 --> 00:08:47,828
Speaker 5: early so early in he was one of the greatest

181
00:08:47,828 --> 00:08:50,028
Speaker 5: competitors that I've ever played with.

182
00:08:49,908 --> 00:08:50,828
Speaker 4: And played against.

183
00:08:50,908 --> 00:08:52,708
Speaker 5: So I had to give my flowers to my two

184
00:08:52,748 --> 00:08:54,548
Speaker 5: former teammates, well deserved, Willie.

185
00:08:54,708 --> 00:08:57,028
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's great, man Ty, I gotta do the same.

186
00:08:57,068 --> 00:08:57,228
Speaker 4: Man.

187
00:08:57,268 --> 00:08:59,068
Speaker 6: I see Harris wood on that list, and I can't

188
00:08:59,108 --> 00:09:01,028
Speaker 6: think about how much he mentioned me in my career.

189
00:09:01,028 --> 00:09:03,348
Speaker 6: You talk about a guy who was just a stand

190
00:09:03,428 --> 00:09:06,668
Speaker 6: up model of what Steeler is and what he should

191
00:09:06,668 --> 00:09:09,868
Speaker 6: be like. You're talking about toughness, grit, heart, play with pride,

192
00:09:09,908 --> 00:09:12,468
Speaker 6: played through injuries. He was an iron man. We love

193
00:09:12,548 --> 00:09:15,028
Speaker 6: about Woody, Man and man Ty and everybody. You may

194
00:09:15,068 --> 00:09:17,948
Speaker 6: notice when you talk about who sets the tone on

195
00:09:17,988 --> 00:09:20,668
Speaker 6: your team, it usually goes to a lineback or defensive end.

196
00:09:21,068 --> 00:09:24,548
Speaker 6: Never your slot receiver who's five ten and Haines Ward

197
00:09:24,588 --> 00:09:26,908
Speaker 6: played with so much grit in heart, he traveled man.

198
00:09:26,948 --> 00:09:28,628
Speaker 6: It was in a stadium where people wasn't trying to

199
00:09:28,668 --> 00:09:30,388
Speaker 6: knock his head off, he wasn't trying to knock their

200
00:09:30,428 --> 00:09:32,988
Speaker 6: head off. He was a walking heel. He was the villain.

201
00:09:33,108 --> 00:09:35,068
Speaker 6: He was awesome. And I also got a shout out

202
00:09:35,148 --> 00:09:38,348
Speaker 6: Jason Witten. Jason went was the ultimate iron man played

203
00:09:38,748 --> 00:09:41,348
Speaker 6: for so long at one position. He was the most

204
00:09:41,388 --> 00:09:43,908
Speaker 6: complete tight end in the game. He blocked, he caught,

205
00:09:44,068 --> 00:09:46,308
Speaker 6: he was dependable, he was clutching the red zone, and

206
00:09:46,348 --> 00:09:48,428
Speaker 6: he was flat out awesome. He made me want to

207
00:09:48,428 --> 00:09:50,828
Speaker 6: play tight end. I love Jason Witten, and I hope

208
00:09:50,868 --> 00:09:53,028
Speaker 6: he gets the NOD. Congratulations to both gentlemen.

209
00:09:53,148 --> 00:09:54,748
Speaker 4: Great choices, great era.

210
00:09:55,388 --> 00:09:55,668
Speaker 7: Jamie.

211
00:09:55,708 --> 00:09:57,348
Speaker 4: This is so hard like there.

212
00:09:57,428 --> 00:09:59,188
Speaker 1: These are some of my heroes, and then some of

213
00:09:59,268 --> 00:10:01,668
Speaker 1: them are my colleagues. You know, when I was in

214
00:10:01,668 --> 00:10:04,108
Speaker 1: in my twenties and thirties, Steve Smith Senior, who was

215
00:10:04,188 --> 00:10:06,268
Speaker 1: just Smith back then, was my favorite player in the NFL.

216
00:10:06,268 --> 00:10:08,148
Speaker 1: I was obsessed with everything Steve did before I even

217
00:10:08,148 --> 00:10:10,188
Speaker 1: met him as a colleague. I can talk about all

218
00:10:10,228 --> 00:10:12,508
Speaker 1: of them, all of them, but I will actually double

219
00:10:12,548 --> 00:10:15,388
Speaker 1: back to Frank Gore, one of the guys we just announced,

220
00:10:15,948 --> 00:10:19,668
Speaker 1: fascinating career, prolific career. I said it a lot in

221
00:10:19,708 --> 00:10:22,828
Speaker 1: the introduction. Third all time in rushing is an insane fact.

222
00:10:23,268 --> 00:10:26,348
Speaker 1: He has more rushing yards than Barry Sanders, Curtis Martin,

223
00:10:26,388 --> 00:10:28,988
Speaker 1: Adrian Peters and Ladanian, Tomlins and Eric Dickers. I think

224
00:10:29,028 --> 00:10:32,708
Speaker 1: he going he's looking down on those guys. The case

225
00:10:32,748 --> 00:10:35,708
Speaker 1: for Frank Gore is just he is probably the most

226
00:10:35,748 --> 00:10:38,668
Speaker 1: durable back of all time. And it's fascinating because he

227
00:10:38,748 --> 00:10:40,668
Speaker 1: was great at Miami and slipped in the draft because

228
00:10:40,708 --> 00:10:42,908
Speaker 1: k me concerns and teams are like, I don't know

229
00:10:42,908 --> 00:10:44,508
Speaker 1: if we can trust Gore to carry the load.

230
00:10:44,788 --> 00:10:46,508
Speaker 4: He did it for close to two decades.

231
00:10:47,108 --> 00:10:49,348
Speaker 1: If he were going to build a case against Frank Gore,

232
00:10:49,388 --> 00:10:52,348
Speaker 1: which sometimes how this thing goes, it got weird.

233
00:10:52,388 --> 00:10:53,268
Speaker 4: At the end of his career.

234
00:10:53,588 --> 00:10:56,228
Speaker 1: He played on about seven different teams, and every year

235
00:10:56,308 --> 00:10:59,548
Speaker 1: it would be he's changing uniforms, and now he's on

236
00:11:00,068 --> 00:11:03,588
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, and now he's on the Bills, and now

237
00:11:03,628 --> 00:11:06,668
Speaker 1: he's on the cat I mean he's on the Jets.

238
00:11:06,748 --> 00:11:08,508
Speaker 1: I have no memory of Frank Gore on the Jets.

239
00:11:08,508 --> 00:11:10,148
Speaker 1: I think was he on the Adam Gates Jets or

240
00:11:10,268 --> 00:11:12,588
Speaker 1: was that Le'Veon? But I don't even Remember that's not

241
00:11:12,668 --> 00:11:13,148
Speaker 1: against him.

242
00:11:13,188 --> 00:11:13,828
Speaker 4: He kept playing.

243
00:11:13,908 --> 00:11:15,548
Speaker 1: He was really good with the Colts, but it was

244
00:11:15,588 --> 00:11:18,308
Speaker 1: just strange at the end. The aggregator word will get

245
00:11:18,308 --> 00:11:20,708
Speaker 1: thrown around, and the fact that maybe Frank Gore was

246
00:11:20,708 --> 00:11:23,268
Speaker 1: never in the conversation for best running back in the league.

247
00:11:23,308 --> 00:11:25,708
Speaker 1: He was in the era of LT and an Adrian Peterson.

248
00:11:26,428 --> 00:11:28,548
Speaker 4: But he's just so aliked. He's such a gentleman.

249
00:11:28,588 --> 00:11:32,268
Speaker 1: Every teammate, every coach, every official, everybody loves Frank Gore.

250
00:11:32,708 --> 00:11:34,428
Speaker 1: And when you walk in and you make the case

251
00:11:34,428 --> 00:11:37,268
Speaker 1: for Frank Gore and you say, well, sixteen thousand rushing

252
00:11:37,348 --> 00:11:40,148
Speaker 1: yards on the dot, third all time, behind only Peyton

253
00:11:40,188 --> 00:11:43,188
Speaker 1: and Emmett, Frank Gore, everybody, and you vote yes for

254
00:11:43,228 --> 00:11:43,868
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame.

255
00:11:43,868 --> 00:11:45,268
Speaker 4: And I have a feel that's how it will go down.

256
00:11:45,348 --> 00:11:45,788
Speaker 3: Frank Gore.

257
00:11:45,868 --> 00:11:48,028
Speaker 2: Anytime he shows up at one of those former team

258
00:11:48,188 --> 00:11:50,948
Speaker 2: games they put him on camera for the broadcast, You're like, Oh, nice,

259
00:11:50,948 --> 00:11:51,548
Speaker 2: that's Frank Gore.

260
00:11:51,628 --> 00:11:53,668
Speaker 3: That's awesome. He's such a likable guy. And that's where

261
00:11:53,708 --> 00:11:54,508
Speaker 3: I go as well.

262
00:11:54,948 --> 00:11:57,708
Speaker 2: Larry Fitzgerald, you always seem to say that about him,

263
00:11:57,748 --> 00:12:00,708
Speaker 2: and not only was his career long and prolific, but

264
00:12:00,788 --> 00:12:03,948
Speaker 2: he found success so early and often with the Arizona

265
00:12:04,028 --> 00:12:06,548
Speaker 2: Cardinal said, I'm a little bit biased, but very rarely

266
00:12:06,588 --> 00:12:08,428
Speaker 2: do you have a young man come out of a

267
00:12:08,748 --> 00:12:12,348
Speaker 2: Minneapolis prep school and go on to be great in

268
00:12:12,428 --> 00:12:15,388
Speaker 2: college as a bolittanikof winner, but also to be great for.

269
00:12:15,308 --> 00:12:17,388
Speaker 3: As long as he was in the NFL.

270
00:12:17,548 --> 00:12:22,068
Speaker 2: Larry Fitzgerald is crazy talented fourteen hundred catches, nearly eighteen

271
00:12:22,108 --> 00:12:23,868
Speaker 2: thousand receiving yards, are you kidding me?

272
00:12:24,108 --> 00:12:26,468
Speaker 3: But just an absolute warrior, so.

273
00:12:26,668 --> 00:12:32,308
Speaker 2: Many sixteen games played, sixteen games started, he barely got hurt.

274
00:12:32,348 --> 00:12:34,708
Speaker 3: He was so durable. He was a quarterback's best friend.

275
00:12:34,708 --> 00:12:37,348
Speaker 2: And one of those quarterbacks is also wearing a gold jacket.

276
00:12:37,348 --> 00:12:40,308
Speaker 3: And Kurt Warner. I absolutely love Larry Fitzgerald. I loved

277
00:12:40,348 --> 00:12:41,068
Speaker 3: watching him play.

278
00:12:41,148 --> 00:12:43,668
Speaker 2: He was a ball boy for the Vikings when he

279
00:12:43,708 --> 00:12:45,468
Speaker 2: was a young boy growing up. And the fact that

280
00:12:45,468 --> 00:12:47,868
Speaker 2: he went on to become Larry Fitzgerald of great and

281
00:12:47,908 --> 00:12:49,948
Speaker 2: now he is a semi finalist for the Pro Football

282
00:12:49,988 --> 00:12:51,828
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame is wonderful.

283
00:12:51,908 --> 00:12:53,748
Speaker 3: Kyle, I love to see it really well.

284
00:12:53,748 --> 00:12:55,348
Speaker 1: Put Jamie, and I know you speak from the heart

285
00:12:55,348 --> 00:12:58,588
Speaker 1: on that we celebrate all these names. I'll just put

286
00:12:58,588 --> 00:13:00,668
Speaker 1: this out there and Larry Fitzgerald' getting.

287
00:13:00,388 --> 00:13:02,148
Speaker 4: In first ballot. He ain't gonna wait.

288
00:13:02,308 --> 00:13:05,348
Speaker 1: This is what we're watching right here. Playoff run that

289
00:13:05,468 --> 00:13:07,988
Speaker 1: year we took the Cardinals to the Super Bowl. I've

290
00:13:07,988 --> 00:13:12,428
Speaker 1: never seen wide receiver play better than that, Rice, Calvin Johnson,

291
00:13:12,508 --> 00:13:15,428
Speaker 1: Randy Moss. He was the best player in the world

292
00:13:15,628 --> 00:13:17,628
Speaker 1: for that month period and beyond.

293
00:13:17,348 --> 00:13:18,548
Speaker 4: Of course, he was always prolific.

294
00:13:18,908 --> 00:13:21,548
Speaker 1: That Super Bowl run, he was so far the best

295
00:13:21,548 --> 00:13:23,908
Speaker 1: player on the field and did everything in the Super

296
00:13:23,908 --> 00:13:25,148
Speaker 1: Bowl to beat the Steelers.

297
00:13:25,148 --> 00:13:25,828
Speaker 4: He tried, he.

298
00:13:25,828 --> 00:13:28,548
Speaker 1: Tried, he was just the Cardinals defense couldn't make the stop.

299
00:13:28,588 --> 00:13:30,748
Speaker 1: But I've never seen the position played better than that

300
00:13:30,748 --> 00:13:33,108
Speaker 1: Super Bowl run. And I predict from the hip that

301
00:13:33,188 --> 00:13:34,828
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald will being on the first ballot.

302
00:13:34,948 --> 00:13:37,268
Speaker 5: Well, I also want to point out to a few

303
00:13:37,268 --> 00:13:41,748
Speaker 5: things about these guys, Drew, Larry fitz Philip Not only

304
00:13:41,788 --> 00:13:45,268
Speaker 5: were their play on the field fitting for a Hall

305
00:13:45,308 --> 00:13:48,228
Speaker 5: of Famer, who they are as human beings, as men

306
00:13:48,668 --> 00:13:50,868
Speaker 5: or Hall of Fame men, and so I know what

307
00:13:50,948 --> 00:13:52,868
Speaker 5: these guys are eventually going to get and I hope

308
00:13:52,868 --> 00:13:55,468
Speaker 5: their first ballot, but they've already been in the Hall

309
00:13:55,508 --> 00:13:57,468
Speaker 5: of Fame as far as far as human beings, I'll

310
00:13:57,468 --> 00:14:00,188
Speaker 5: tell you a short story about Drew Brees when we

311
00:14:00,228 --> 00:14:02,948
Speaker 5: went to Minnesota to play Minnesota in the divisional game

312
00:14:02,988 --> 00:14:06,828
Speaker 5: with the Minneapolis Miraclees and his wife, brit They flew

313
00:14:06,988 --> 00:14:12,068
Speaker 5: every wife and spouse for free to Minnesota on their

314
00:14:12,188 --> 00:14:14,548
Speaker 5: dimes so that they could be there to support their

315
00:14:14,628 --> 00:14:17,268
Speaker 5: husbands and their boyfriends. And that's just the type. And

316
00:14:17,348 --> 00:14:19,468
Speaker 5: Drew didn't even announce it to any of the guys.

317
00:14:19,508 --> 00:14:20,908

Speaker 8: to action and start on Thursday night against the Ravens.

352
00:15:49,988 --> 00:15:53,068
Speaker 8: That's Lessen eleven weeks after he suffered that severe turf

353
00:15:53,148 --> 00:15:56,428
Speaker 8: toe injury that required surgery. He is a little bit

354
00:15:56,708 --> 00:15:59,708
Speaker 8: ahead of schedule, and he now joins a Bengals team

355
00:15:59,708 --> 00:16:02,708
Speaker 8: that's one and eight since he got injured, but somehow

356
00:16:02,828 --> 00:16:06,508
Speaker 8: still just three games back in the AFC North and trying,

357
00:16:06,588 --> 00:16:08,788
Speaker 8: just like they did a year ago, to make an

358
00:16:08,868 --> 00:16:14,028
Speaker 8: improbable run. In other injury news, Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy

359
00:16:14,348 --> 00:16:18,228
Speaker 8: is in the concussion protocol. He reported concussion symptoms on

360
00:16:18,268 --> 00:16:21,748
Speaker 8: the flight home from Green Bay, the five step process

361
00:16:21,828 --> 00:16:24,428
Speaker 8: to get cleared that does not often happen in this

362
00:16:24,508 --> 00:16:27,468
Speaker 8: day and age within a practice week. They're not yet

363
00:16:27,548 --> 00:16:30,508
Speaker 8: ruling him out, but undrafted rookie Max Brozmer is going

364
00:16:30,548 --> 00:16:33,788
Speaker 8: to get the first team reps this week. Rosmer, now

365
00:16:33,908 --> 00:16:36,988
Speaker 8: barring clearance for McCarthy, is in line to start on

366
00:16:37,228 --> 00:16:40,748
Speaker 8: Sunday against Seattle. Meanwhile, Senor Sanders will get another start

367
00:16:40,788 --> 00:16:44,428
Speaker 8: for the Browns. Kevin Stefanski announcing that Dylan Gabriel has

368
00:16:44,468 --> 00:16:47,508
Speaker 8: cleared the concussion protocol, but it once again will be

369
00:16:47,588 --> 00:16:51,228
Speaker 8: Sanders making his first home start this week against the

370
00:16:51,228 --> 00:16:54,748
Speaker 8: forty nine Ers. The Browns course beat the Raiders in Sanders'

371
00:16:54,908 --> 00:16:57,948
Speaker 8: starting debut. Now you can only imagine what the environment

372
00:16:58,028 --> 00:17:01,228
Speaker 8: is going to be like in Cleveland for Shador the

373
00:17:01,308 --> 00:17:03,028
Speaker 8: first time starting on his own field.

374
00:17:03,388 --> 00:17:06,188
Speaker 2: I mean, Tom, great, whatever you just said about JJ

375
00:17:06,308 --> 00:17:08,628
Speaker 2: and the brown and the Vikings and the Browns, but

Speaker 4: That side by side.

380
00:17:21,068 --> 00:17:23,428
Speaker 8: When I put it on, I thought it was going

381
00:17:23,468 --> 00:17:25,868
Speaker 8: to look slightly different than it does now that I

382
00:17:25,908 --> 00:17:28,268

Speaker 4: To distract your fault. That's Tom, Tom.

390
00:17:44,388 --> 00:17:47,148
Speaker 1: Your news report could have been that Patrick Mahomes is

391
00:17:47,188 --> 00:17:49,308
Speaker 1: retiring to play baseball and we wouldn't have heard a

392

Speaker 1: single word of what you said. Here's what I want,

393

Speaker 1: and report on Pellicero Junior Wolves.

395
00:17:57,308 --> 00:18:01,388
Speaker 8: This is circa nineteen eighty nine nineteen ninety undersized point

396
00:18:01,388 --> 00:18:03,748
Speaker 8: guard thought he was a much better shooter than he

397
00:18:03,828 --> 00:18:06,748
Speaker 8: actually won. Once got the play when the Timbrels were

398
00:18:06,748 --> 00:18:10,908

Speaker 4: So how about that, all.

402
00:18:16,588 --> 00:18:20,468
Speaker 3: Right, gradual, we gotta get you some.

Speaker 1: Now you have the shorts onto.

405
00:18:32,068 --> 00:18:34,948
Speaker 4: This jersey does not go as far down as it

406
00:18:35,028 --> 00:18:35,388
Speaker 4: needs to.

407
00:18:35,508 --> 00:18:37,028
Speaker 8: If I were to stand up, you can see a

408
00:18:37,028 --> 00:18:39,788
Speaker 8: little maybe which nobody wrong?

409
00:18:39,908 --> 00:18:42,908
Speaker 4: Tom? Is that a reversible jersey?

410
00:18:45,748 --> 00:18:48,748
Speaker 8: We got a little bit on the inside, you know it?

411
00:18:48,788 --> 00:18:51,108
Speaker 4: Man, time, We got enough. Wait, we don't need you

412
00:18:51,148 --> 00:18:51,868
Speaker 4: to reverse that thing.

413
00:18:51,908 --> 00:18:54,508
Speaker 1: All right, We're good on that.

414
00:18:54,668 --> 00:18:58,108
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Tom, well done. I honestly just don't

415
00:18:58,108 --> 00:18:58,828
Speaker 3: really want to move on.

416
00:18:58,868 --> 00:19:01,188
Speaker 2: Topics are trying to make it stay on camera, you know,

417
00:19:01,468 --> 00:19:03,588
Speaker 2: like just Tom, just hanging the two shot, will you.

418
00:19:03,748 --> 00:19:05,828
Speaker 2: The Browns are coming off a twenty four to ten

419
00:19:05,948 --> 00:19:10,068
Speaker 2: win against the Raiders, as Brown's head coach Kevin Stefanski

420
00:19:10,188 --> 00:19:13,348
Speaker 2: is sticking with rookie quarterback should Dour Sanders as Tom

421
00:19:13,588 --> 00:19:15,108
Speaker 2: just mentioned, and they're going to play the forty nine

422
00:19:15,188 --> 00:19:15,828
Speaker 2: ers on Sunday.

423
00:19:17,588 --> 00:19:21,868
Speaker 9: Should Door will start this week obviously, you know, number

424
00:19:21,908 --> 00:19:24,428
Speaker 9: one job of quarterback is to win, So excited to

425
00:19:24,468 --> 00:19:28,228
Speaker 9: get that first win under his belt and then next

426
00:19:28,268 --> 00:19:31,228
Speaker 9: thing is improvement and that's what young players do, certainly

427
00:19:31,228 --> 00:19:34,588
Speaker 9: young quarterbacks. Do you get one game better and that's

428
00:19:34,628 --> 00:19:37,188
Speaker 9: just from working at it. So that'll be our focus.

429
00:19:39,148 --> 00:19:41,348
Speaker 2: Just so everybody knows. Tom's not going to stick around

430
00:19:41,388 --> 00:19:43,548
Speaker 2: for buying or keep trying, even though we asked him to.

431
00:19:43,988 --> 00:19:46,228
Speaker 2: A question for you guys, now, Shouldeur Sanders and the

432
00:19:46,268 --> 00:19:49,588
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns making this decision going.

433
00:19:49,388 --> 00:19:50,508
Speaker 3: Forth with this quarterback?

434
00:19:50,548 --> 00:19:53,028
Speaker 2: Do you think this will affect the playoff picture in

435
00:19:53,068 --> 00:19:56,468
Speaker 2: the final quarter of the season Mantai, if the Bear,

436
00:19:56,548 --> 00:19:58,308
Speaker 2: if the Browns, if you will con Reek havoc?

437
00:19:58,508 --> 00:20:01,948
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think just the Browns in general have thenity

438
00:20:02,108 --> 00:20:03,668
Speaker 5: opportunity to wreak some havoc.

439
00:20:03,708 --> 00:20:06,508
Speaker 4: Will they make the playoffs? No, However, they are.

440
00:20:06,388 --> 00:20:09,468
Speaker 5: Playing a few people that may have some impact in

441
00:20:09,628 --> 00:20:12,988
Speaker 5: those guys that we have in the eight nine seeding

442
00:20:13,148 --> 00:20:16,548
Speaker 5: that are the Houston Texans and the Chiefs. What I

443
00:20:16,588 --> 00:20:18,788
Speaker 5: mean by that is on December twenty, first, the Browns

444
00:20:18,788 --> 00:20:21,268
Speaker 5: play the Bills. Now, what the Browns do very well

445
00:20:21,348 --> 00:20:23,028
Speaker 5: is they run the ball, and that's something that the

446
00:20:23,028 --> 00:20:26,468
Speaker 5: Bills have struggled against. And then also we saw what

447
00:20:26,588 --> 00:20:28,828
Speaker 5: happened when Josh Allen and the offense played against the

448
00:20:28,868 --> 00:20:29,908
Speaker 5: Houston Texans, who had.

449
00:20:29,788 --> 00:20:30,628
Speaker 4: A really good rush.

450
00:20:31,028 --> 00:20:34,028
Speaker 5: Guys, the Cleveland Browns rush is better.

451
00:20:33,908 --> 00:20:35,588
Speaker 4: Than the Houston Texans rush.

452
00:20:35,908 --> 00:20:38,708
Speaker 5: And so when we saw Josh Allen and the rest

453
00:20:38,788 --> 00:20:40,908
Speaker 5: he was under and trying to make things happen, and

454
00:20:41,188 --> 00:20:44,468
Speaker 5: Will Anderson Junior and Danil Hunter, I'm doing what they

455
00:20:44,508 --> 00:20:47,788
Speaker 5: did to the offensive line and Josh Allen. The Texans

456
00:20:47,788 --> 00:20:52,468
Speaker 5: are the sixth ranked pass rush defense, the Browns are two. Like,

457
00:20:52,548 --> 00:20:56,268
Speaker 5: that's how good this Miles Gary and company front is.

458
00:20:56,308 --> 00:20:59,708
Speaker 5: And so I'm looking at this Cleveland Browns team and

459
00:20:59,788 --> 00:21:03,828
Speaker 5: their abilities to really cause some havoc late for some guys,

460
00:21:03,868 --> 00:21:07,068
Speaker 5: impossibly get some people that's in the lurking column into

461
00:21:07,148 --> 00:21:07,868
Speaker 5: the playoff picture.

462
00:21:07,908 --> 00:21:08,348
Speaker 4: We'll see.

463
00:21:08,548 --> 00:21:10,028
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm with you, man Todd. But if you're the

464
00:21:10,068 --> 00:21:12,068
Speaker 6: Browns right now, it's been a bad season, you've been

465
00:21:12,108 --> 00:21:15,348
Speaker 6: living in football purgatory. But there's an opportunity to get right.

466
00:21:15,348 --> 00:21:18,108
Speaker 6: You got Shador, he's your spark, he's young, he's poised,

467
00:21:18,188 --> 00:21:19,988
Speaker 6: he has to play with a purpose in order to

468
00:21:20,028 --> 00:21:22,148
Speaker 6: get another start. But if you're the defense and you're

469
00:21:22,188 --> 00:21:24,588
Speaker 6: this team led by Miles Garrett, this is an opportunity

470
00:21:24,628 --> 00:21:27,028
Speaker 6: to shake things up. Like you mentioned, you got opportunity

471
00:21:27,028 --> 00:21:28,908
Speaker 6: to play the Niners, beat the Niners at home, and

472
00:21:28,908 --> 00:21:30,028
Speaker 6: you play the Bills if you're.

473
00:21:29,868 --> 00:21:31,388
Speaker 4: Able to get them. This to shakes up the whole

474
00:21:31,388 --> 00:21:32,068
Speaker 4: playoff picture.

475
00:21:32,108 --> 00:21:34,268
Speaker 6: So if you're the Browns right now, turn a negative

476
00:21:34,268 --> 00:21:38,708
Speaker 6: into a positive, Rod Schador's popularity wave and get going.

477
00:21:38,748 --> 00:21:40,508
Speaker 4: Man, you got a chance to really upset some teams.

478
00:21:40,548 --> 00:21:42,148
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Browns all of a sudden, You know, we're

479
00:21:42,188 --> 00:21:43,948
Speaker 1: gonna talk Browns in the last six weeks because we

480
00:21:44,028 --> 00:21:46,268
Speaker 1: got this, and we got Miles Garrett chasing the sack record,

481
00:21:46,308 --> 00:21:47,988
Speaker 1: which we probably think he's gonna get.

482
00:21:48,188 --> 00:21:49,948
Speaker 4: You got could get it next week for all we know.

483
00:21:50,228 --> 00:21:51,868
Speaker 4: I just think it's very interesting for Shador.

484
00:21:51,948 --> 00:21:53,428
Speaker 1: We don't talk a ton of Shador here, and we

485
00:21:53,468 --> 00:21:56,068
Speaker 1: don't because the Browns are not relevant in the playoff picture.

486
00:21:56,428 --> 00:21:59,228
Speaker 4: But Shador has a six game test. Now, let's call

487
00:21:59,228 --> 00:22:00,828
Speaker 4: it what it is. This is a six game audition.

488
00:22:01,388 --> 00:22:03,788
Speaker 1: If Chador doesn't play well, if he plays poorly, and

489
00:22:03,828 --> 00:22:05,588
Speaker 1: I hope he does, that might be it.

490
00:22:05,628 --> 00:22:08,068
Speaker 4: In Cleveland, there's a fifth round pick. Like, we're gonna

491
00:22:08,108 --> 00:22:09,788
Speaker 4: see a lot of you do. We like you do.

492
00:22:09,828 --> 00:22:12,028
Speaker 4: We like your future. If not, I think we move on.

493
00:22:13,228 --> 00:22:16,348
Speaker 1: But if he does, if he catches lightning in a bottle,

494
00:22:16,388 --> 00:22:18,668
Speaker 1: if he shows the Browns like, not only do I

495
00:22:18,668 --> 00:22:19,948
Speaker 1: have the talent, I have potential.

496
00:22:20,268 --> 00:22:22,548
Speaker 4: I fit the part. My post isn't bouncing.

497
00:22:22,588 --> 00:22:24,908
Speaker 1: I'm going against Pittsburgh and TJ's in my face and

498
00:22:25,148 --> 00:22:27,748
Speaker 1: I'm ready for this. I got this, which I really

499
00:22:27,788 --> 00:22:31,148
Speaker 1: hope happens six games. This is determined history. And if

500
00:22:31,188 --> 00:22:33,588
Speaker 1: it's not with Cleveland, maybe it's somewhere else. But I

501
00:22:33,628 --> 00:22:35,548
Speaker 1: just feel like a lot of us treat the last

502
00:22:35,588 --> 00:22:38,228
Speaker 1: six weeks of the year as like, Y, screw it.

503
00:22:38,228 --> 00:22:39,708
Speaker 1: I'll put on ten pounds, you know what I mean, Like,

504
00:22:39,788 --> 00:22:42,308
Speaker 1: I'll get it done in January and I'll start afresh.

505
00:22:42,548 --> 00:22:44,668
Speaker 1: The Browns have this thing where they're like, we're out

506
00:22:44,668 --> 00:22:46,708
Speaker 1: of the playoffs, we're gonna try it. Let's see what

507
00:22:46,708 --> 00:22:49,148
Speaker 1: Shoudur has got. Let's lock and load. And maybe Dylan

508
00:22:49,188 --> 00:22:52,828
Speaker 1: Gabriel has a role too. But Chador, just play well,

509
00:22:52,988 --> 00:22:55,508
Speaker 1: just play confidently, give us your best game. Then we'll

510
00:22:55,508 --> 00:22:57,588
Speaker 1: see where the ball bounces. After six games, we have

511
00:22:57,668 --> 00:23:00,108
Speaker 1: a six game audition. In the meantime, Miles Ged will

512
00:23:00,148 --> 00:23:02,188
Speaker 1: probably have six Sacs every single week. That's what we'll

513
00:23:02,188 --> 00:23:03,068
Speaker 1: be watching for the Browns.

514
00:23:03,188 --> 00:23:05,628
Speaker 2: Some of those real maniacs finished the final six weeks

515
00:23:05,628 --> 00:23:09,548
Speaker 2: of the year and they set the tone for twenty

516
00:23:09,588 --> 00:23:12,028
Speaker 2: twenty six, like, oh, I'm going to lose my ten

517
00:23:12,068 --> 00:23:13,868
Speaker 2: before I even hit the new year. We're not one

518
00:23:13,908 --> 00:23:16,148
Speaker 2: of those people here on GMFB. We like to let

519
00:23:16,148 --> 00:23:18,068
Speaker 2: it go until the new year, then we reset. But

520
00:23:18,068 --> 00:23:20,108
Speaker 2: I understand what the Brown's is doing. Maybe they're projecting

521
00:23:20,148 --> 00:23:23,108
Speaker 2: on the next season. Are the Rams projecting for the

522
00:23:23,108 --> 00:23:23,908
Speaker 2: next ten years?

523
00:23:23,908 --> 00:23:24,628
Speaker 3: At quarterback?

524
00:23:24,668 --> 00:23:27,588
Speaker 2: While their coach might be, Matthew Stafford continues to build

525
00:23:27,628 --> 00:23:30,668
Speaker 2: on his MVP candidacy as the Rams blew out the

526
00:23:30,708 --> 00:23:34,268
Speaker 2: Buccaneers to capture the best record on the NFC side

527
00:23:34,268 --> 00:23:37,228
Speaker 2: of things. They're head coach Sean McVay can see stafford

528
00:23:37,268 --> 00:23:40,348
Speaker 2: Stellar play extending well beyond twenty twenty five.

529
00:23:41,828 --> 00:23:46,508
Speaker 10: I think he's being incredibly smart but aggressive, and you know,

530
00:23:46,508 --> 00:23:48,628
Speaker 10: it's just like anything else he's at Fine Wine. He's

531
00:23:48,668 --> 00:23:51,188
Speaker 10: just getting better with age, but he's playing really well.

532
00:23:51,188 --> 00:23:54,868
Speaker 10: He's in total command. You like that one. So I

533
00:23:54,868 --> 00:23:56,748
Speaker 10: think he's going to play for about ten more years now.

534
00:23:56,828 --> 00:23:58,588
Speaker 10: So I'm really happy for Matthew.

535
00:24:00,028 --> 00:24:02,948
Speaker 2: He's aromatic, he's okey. You put him in a bottle

536
00:24:02,948 --> 00:24:04,908
Speaker 2: for ten more years, and who knows what we're going.

537
00:24:04,908 --> 00:24:07,388
Speaker 3: To get out of Stafford. He ages like a fine wine.

538
00:24:07,388 --> 00:24:10,348
Speaker 2: Well done, coach, We appreciate it. Here's the question for

539
00:24:10,468 --> 00:24:14,388
Speaker 2: the near thirty eight year old Matthew Stafford, in terms

540
00:24:14,388 --> 00:24:17,028
Speaker 2: of buying or keep trying. McVeigh thinks that Stafford can

541
00:24:17,028 --> 00:24:17,988
Speaker 2: go for ten more years?

542
00:24:18,028 --> 00:24:19,428
Speaker 3: Are you buying this man?

543
00:24:19,508 --> 00:24:19,748
Speaker 4: Time?

544
00:24:20,748 --> 00:24:21,588
Speaker 3: Why are you giggling?

545
00:24:21,828 --> 00:24:22,108
Speaker 10: Well?

546
00:24:22,748 --> 00:24:26,428
Speaker 5: He could play for eternity mentally because he's one of

547
00:24:26,468 --> 00:24:29,948
Speaker 5: the sharpest guys, But as far as physically, I think

548
00:24:29,988 --> 00:24:32,828
Speaker 5: he probably has two maybe three. I think what does

549
00:24:33,748 --> 00:24:37,068
Speaker 5: fit for Matt Stafford and for Sean McVay is how

550
00:24:37,108 --> 00:24:40,348
Speaker 5: Sean McVay runs his program, especially in the preseason.

551
00:24:40,388 --> 00:24:41,508
Speaker 4: His starters don't play.

552
00:24:41,708 --> 00:24:46,308
Speaker 5: That lengthens, in my opinion, a career to some point. Now,

553
00:24:46,308 --> 00:24:49,348
Speaker 5: Matt Stafford is older in age, he's a lot wiser,

554
00:24:49,668 --> 00:24:52,468
Speaker 5: and he for the first time in his career with

555
00:24:52,548 --> 00:24:55,068
Speaker 5: the line with the Rams. He has a really good

556
00:24:55,108 --> 00:24:57,748
Speaker 5: old line that has kept him fairly clean. And so

557
00:24:57,868 --> 00:24:59,748
Speaker 5: the way that they these guys have been playing, I'll

558
00:24:59,748 --> 00:25:01,668
Speaker 5: be biased, I hope that he plays for ten years,

559
00:25:01,668 --> 00:25:04,268
Speaker 5: but the realities are he's not going to I think

560
00:25:04,388 --> 00:25:06,348
Speaker 5: for the next two to three years is that window.

561
00:25:06,348 --> 00:25:08,228
Speaker 5: I think a lot of this is predicated on whether

562
00:25:08,268 --> 00:25:10,268
Speaker 5: they win the Super Bowl or not this year. We'll

563
00:25:10,308 --> 00:25:12,508
Speaker 5: see what he decides. But for a saw mcfah and

564
00:25:12,588 --> 00:25:14,628
Speaker 5: the Rams, I think you would want him to do

565
00:25:14,708 --> 00:25:15,628
Speaker 5: two to three years.

566
00:25:15,828 --> 00:25:17,188
Speaker 4: You draft the quarterback to.

567
00:25:17,868 --> 00:25:19,948
Speaker 5: For him to mentor because I can't think of a

568
00:25:19,948 --> 00:25:22,668
Speaker 5: better quarterback to mentor anybody than number nine right now

569
00:25:22,668 --> 00:25:24,748
Speaker 5: and how he's playing. He's a last of a dying

570
00:25:24,788 --> 00:25:26,268
Speaker 5: breed and a hope he plays for as long as

571
00:25:26,268 --> 00:25:26,548
Speaker 5: he can.

572
00:25:26,828 --> 00:25:28,548
Speaker 4: Man tal, what are we doing right now?

573
00:25:28,588 --> 00:25:31,028
Speaker 6: You're not watching the Rams do the best show in

574
00:25:31,068 --> 00:25:34,188
Speaker 6: the NFL. He's not agent, he's elite. He's popping off

575
00:25:34,188 --> 00:25:34,828
Speaker 6: the tape.

576
00:25:35,028 --> 00:25:36,828
Speaker 4: Can we get this shimmy? Look at this loop?

577
00:25:36,948 --> 00:25:39,588
Speaker 6: Loose back thirty six year old lighting up the NFL

578
00:25:39,908 --> 00:25:43,308
Speaker 6: with the weapons he has between Polk and Devant Adams,

579
00:25:43,348 --> 00:25:46,588
Speaker 6: that big thirteen personnel, three tight ends, one runner back,

580
00:25:46,588 --> 00:25:49,988
Speaker 6: one receiver. Sean McVay has really put a culture in

581
00:25:50,028 --> 00:25:52,788
Speaker 6: the system around us Matthew Stafford for him to play

582
00:25:52,828 --> 00:25:55,148
Speaker 6: as long as he wants to play. There's no ceiling

583
00:25:55,188 --> 00:25:57,748
Speaker 6: for this man. The man is lighting up the NFL.

584
00:25:57,988 --> 00:26:00,388
Speaker 6: He's a clear runaway with the MVP. I don't even

585
00:26:00,428 --> 00:26:02,668
Speaker 6: think there's the quarterback close to playing as well as

586
00:26:02,708 --> 00:26:04,708
Speaker 6: he is playing right now. He's a fish shit in

587
00:26:04,708 --> 00:26:07,588
Speaker 6: the pocket. Guys are rallying bottom. Think about it. Davonte

588
00:26:07,708 --> 00:26:10,228
Speaker 6: Adams is thirty three years old. He's a Jerney man,

589
00:26:10,348 --> 00:26:12,108
Speaker 6: and he's out of his mouth. He's going, I'm having

590
00:26:12,108 --> 00:26:13,468
Speaker 6: the most fun I've ever had.

591
00:26:13,348 --> 00:26:13,908
Speaker 4: In my career.

592
00:26:14,188 --> 00:26:16,788
Speaker 6: By the way, Davonte Adams played for Aaron, playing with

593
00:26:16,828 --> 00:26:19,388
Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers. Now he's looking at Stafford like, this is

594
00:26:19,428 --> 00:26:20,388
Speaker 6: my new hot wife.

595
00:26:20,508 --> 00:26:23,308
Speaker 4: Look at her. She's hot, she's old, but she's great.

596
00:26:23,708 --> 00:26:24,588
Speaker 4: So my point to.

597
00:26:24,588 --> 00:26:27,428
Speaker 6: It all, Man Todd, we have to fall in love

598
00:26:27,508 --> 00:26:31,148
Speaker 6: with who Stafford is. He is him, He is the MVP.

599
00:26:31,668 --> 00:26:34,628
Speaker 6: The Rams are going to the super Bowl. Just put

600
00:26:34,668 --> 00:26:35,508
Speaker 6: on the tape.

601
00:26:37,108 --> 00:26:40,388
Speaker 4: I did, I mean, I was.

602
00:26:40,588 --> 00:26:43,028
Speaker 5: I wasn't expecting that like Willy to come at me

603
00:26:43,108 --> 00:26:45,828
Speaker 5: like that. I think from the airy terrace that energy

604
00:26:45,908 --> 00:26:47,908
Speaker 5: is kind of coming back downstairs and I.

605
00:26:47,868 --> 00:26:49,788
Speaker 4: Love it now.

606
00:26:49,788 --> 00:26:52,548
Speaker 6: Which on that with read the sentiment read a sentiments

607
00:26:52,588 --> 00:26:53,308
Speaker 6: called buying in.

608
00:26:53,428 --> 00:26:57,628
Speaker 4: I brought in you. No, Willy, you went all in.

609
00:26:57,828 --> 00:26:58,708
Speaker 4: You ain't just buying in.

610
00:26:58,788 --> 00:27:01,148
Speaker 5: You put all that chips in the middle of this table.

611
00:27:01,268 --> 00:27:03,348
Speaker 4: And I support that. I support that.

612
00:27:03,548 --> 00:27:05,668
Speaker 6: What about you, Kate, Well, you're talking about the man

613
00:27:05,788 --> 00:27:08,148
Speaker 6: like you see you're citizen. The man is clearly the

614
00:27:08,228 --> 00:27:09,948
Speaker 6: number one quarterback in the league.

615
00:27:09,788 --> 00:27:12,348
Speaker 5: I'm talking about him as if we had a staff

616
00:27:12,428 --> 00:27:15,788
Speaker 5: kawn on him for the whole preseason about where we were,

617
00:27:16,028 --> 00:27:17,628
Speaker 5: like worried if he was going to play or not.

618
00:27:17,708 --> 00:27:19,188
Speaker 4: That's where I'm coming from, Willie, and.

619
00:27:19,188 --> 00:27:23,348
Speaker 2: He was addressing the question out another ten years and

620
00:27:23,388 --> 00:27:26,548
Speaker 2: he all he said was two to three, putting him

621
00:27:26,548 --> 00:27:29,988
Speaker 2: to bed tomorrow. James coming at you, Willie, just clarifying

622
00:27:30,108 --> 00:27:31,508
Speaker 2: Kyle buying or keep trying.

623
00:27:31,868 --> 00:27:32,868
Speaker 4: Listen, here's what I'm buying.

624
00:27:33,268 --> 00:27:36,308
Speaker 3: I'm good. That's helpful.

625
00:27:38,428 --> 00:27:40,668
Speaker 4: Someone has to be one.

626
00:27:40,748 --> 00:27:43,468
Speaker 1: Willie Cologne went up to the angry Paris, a different

627
00:27:43,508 --> 00:27:46,228
Speaker 1: Willie Cologne came down. If you've been watching the show

628
00:27:46,268 --> 00:27:47,548
Speaker 1: the whole time, you know what I'm talking about. If

629
00:27:47,588 --> 00:27:49,268
Speaker 1: you're one of these people tuning in, that's what they

729
00:31:56,268 --> 00:31:59,188

730
00:31:59,268 --> 00:32:02,068

731
00:32:02,108 --> 00:32:06,188
Speaker 12: routes between the Green Bay Packers something meaningful this year,

732

734
00:32:11,868 --> 00:32:14,308

735
00:32:14,108 --> 00:32:18,228

737
00:32:20,468 --> 00:32:22,908
Speaker 1: This guy has come in and back up. Josh Jacobs

738
00:32:22,948 --> 00:32:25,228
Speaker 1: has been great, putting out big numbers and running the

739
00:32:25,268 --> 00:32:27,908
Speaker 1: ball and everything. And you're right there, does still see

740
00:32:27,988 --> 00:32:31,268
Speaker 1: this looming thing out here in this celebratory Bears season,

741
00:32:31,788 --> 00:32:34,308
Speaker 1: in this a little bit purgatory Packers season, there's still

742
00:32:34,348 --> 00:32:37,868
Speaker 1: a lot of business sell because they played twice. Remember

743
00:32:37,948 --> 00:32:40,868
Speaker 1: Caleb last year as a rookie won in Lambeau and

744
00:32:41,068 --> 00:32:42,868
Speaker 1: was not afraid to talk about it in the off season.

745
00:32:42,908 --> 00:32:45,548
Speaker 1: I think the Packers heard that didn't like it, but

746
00:32:45,628 --> 00:32:47,548
Speaker 1: they have a game coming up and they already got

747
00:32:47,548 --> 00:32:49,068
Speaker 1: it flex, So we're gonna see a lot of Packers

748
00:32:49,068 --> 00:32:51,148
Speaker 1: bears moving forward. Lot to still be settled in the

749
00:32:51,228 --> 00:32:55,108
Speaker 1: NFC North. Moving on forty nine Ers fan, Chris and Mayne.

790
00:34:31,228 --> 00:34:32,268

Speaker 1: They do have a lot going on for them in

797
00:34:45,308 --> 00:34:47,068
Speaker 1: that sense, and they rode that the first half of

798
00:34:47,068 --> 00:34:49,468
Speaker 1: the season. That was interesting that not only Jim may

799
00:34:49,508 --> 00:34:53,668

Speaker 1: half and now we're coming down the stretch lose to

804

Speaker 4: Is this team for real?

806
00:35:03,988 --> 00:35:06,428

00:35:59,268 --> 00:36:01,308
Speaker 14: and not fumble the ball every time you get a chance.

829

Speaker 4: I like him.

854
00:36:57,748 --> 00:36:59,828
Speaker 5: He is grateful for the Bears being good so that

855
00:36:59,868 --> 00:37:01,508
Speaker 5: these games late in the season are going to be

856
00:37:01,628 --> 00:37:04,668
Speaker 5: very competitive and relevant. He's also grateful for the as

857
00:37:04,668 --> 00:37:06,908
Speaker 5: Cowboys for giving them Michael Parce's He had a lot

858
00:37:06,988 --> 00:37:08,868

Speaker 5: had a take.

860
00:37:09,428 --> 00:37:10,228
Speaker 4: I liked Willie.

861
00:37:10,348 --> 00:37:14,508
Speaker 2: I'm I might have recency bias because I like Jim

862
00:37:14,548 --> 00:37:16,428
Speaker 2: in Vegas. Like Jim seems to be a man about

863
00:37:16,428 --> 00:37:19,628
Speaker 2: the people. I was hearing Oceans eleven as you talked.

864
00:37:19,708 --> 00:37:21,908
Speaker 2: He's like I was in New Orleans watching the Eagles

865

866
00:37:25,148 --> 00:37:27,228

867
00:37:27,268 --> 00:37:29,468
Speaker 2: as angry as you should be as an Eagles fan.

868
00:37:29,548 --> 00:37:32,708
Speaker 2: But like you did say your emotions about the Cowboys,

869
00:37:32,708 --> 00:37:35,148
Speaker 2: so I guess that tracks really christ the Klum.

877
00:37:50,268 --> 00:37:51,388
