I got 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: my guys. My name is Nate Burlison, alongside Peter Schrager, 10 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: Kaya Brant, my brothers, and let's toss it to my sister. 11 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: Let's bring Gan kay Adams. Who's holding it down in 12 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: Kansas City, KA? What's going on? We've got preseason action. 13 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: I'm in Kansas City at the Chiefs facility ahead of 14 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: the Vikings, visiting the Chiefs orson preseason action. Patrick Mahomes 15 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: will be starting this game, so lost to talk about, 16 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: but without further ado, let's hit out the league book. 17 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: Think okay, guys, let's hit it here. We've got to 18 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. They closed out the preseason this Sunday. It's 19 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: up against the Jags. You can see it, of course 20 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: on NFL Network Triple Header Saturday, Triple Header Sunday. We've 21 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: got the game tonight kicking off the action. We will 22 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: not see Dak Prescott though, on the field for that one. 23 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: He's going to be on some sort of a pitch count. 24 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,839 Speaker 1: That's what he's been doing since he's been back at practice. 25 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 1: Take a listen to what offensive coordinator Kellen Moore had 26 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: to say. It's awesome to have Dak back. Obviously in 27 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: the team setting, that was the biggest thing. He's been 28 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: around obviously each and every day in some capacity, but 29 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: obviously having him out there in eleven eleven's huge. It's 30 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,639 Speaker 1: great for him, it's great for the morale of everyone 31 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: on our team, I think, especially for our offense. And 32 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: I thought you'd look great and we're fired up. Yeah, 33 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: we're just playing ball at this point, so we're not 34 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: looking at anything from a limitation standpoint. We're playing football 35 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: and we're getting ready for obviously from his standpoint, we're 36 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: getting ready for the regular season in Tampa Bay, getting 37 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: out for that Tampa Bay defensive line. Elsewhere in the NFC, 38 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: E Stacon Barkley was back at practice. Good to see him. 39 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: Of course, there are limited snaps as a joint practice 40 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: against the Patriots ahead of their tilt here in Week three, 41 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: and you can see that one right here on NFL Network. 42 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: So clearly too crucial players, too, very important pieces, pivotal 43 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: guys to their respective teams. Who's more important to their 44 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: team's success? Though? Is it Dak Prescott or is it 45 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley? Nate kick it off. As much as I 46 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: appreciate sa Quan is Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott is a 47 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: guy that touches the ball every single play. And I 48 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: said that they will have three wide receivers that will 49 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: hit a thousand yards that's Gallup, CD Lamb and of 50 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: course and Mary Cooper. So the passing game is going 51 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: to be there. But for me, it's Dak Prescott rushing 52 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: the ball. That's what makes him special. He's a dominant 53 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: big man when he leaves the pocket. So this is 54 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: another element to this offense. When he's in his mode 55 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: and he's fast and feeling good and he's healthy, Look 56 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: how physical he is. I mean when he gets close 57 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: to the red zone and they're running these RPOs, he 58 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: gets in as easy as anybody else. I was having 59 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: a conversation with my son about his confidence in basketball 60 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: a little Nate, he's a pure shooter. There's a lot 61 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: going on with competitive guys being on the varsity team, 62 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: and I was trying to get him to tap back 63 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: into a space where he was most confident. Eighth grade year, 64 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: his eighth grade basketball coach said to him, Nate, because 65 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: you touched the ball more than anybody else, the more 66 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: confident you are, the better we will be. He really 67 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: didn't get it. He's sitting there doing what kids do, 68 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: one ear out the other, and he looked at him, 69 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: scoring his eyes. He said, I'm telling you, grab the 70 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: ball and shoot as many times as you can, because 71 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: that will give us the best chance to win. It 72 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: clicked at the best summer averaging like twenty eight points, 73 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: We're going to Philly Albany. He's cooking. I bring that 74 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: up is because when Dak Prescott is the most confident 75 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: and because he touches the ball more than anybody on 76 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: that offense, this offense is just different. So Dak Prescott 77 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: being the beast that he is, and we know they're 78 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: better with him on the field. Just look the impact 79 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: he makes on the other superstars. It's obvious and without 80 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: so because Dak Prescott touches the ball much more than 81 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,839 Speaker 1: se Kwon Barkley. Yeah, he's more important to a squad. Look, 82 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: you gotta take the sat Quan side. It ain't gonna 83 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: be me on this. Dak. Also, he's the quarterback and 84 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys or the James moles Strager fitting never 85 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: got what do I know about name Burlison Junior. He 86 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: has more in common with Jerry Jones than Dak Prescott. 87 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: He's throwing parties than they're doing this type of stuff. 88 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: I mean, right, he's a teenager. Hello, it's crazy. I'm 89 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: Jersie right now. You have a bus yet or no not? 90 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: We're working. You're going quon for this. I Also, my 91 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: thing is way off the field. Like if you've been 92 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: watching Hard Knocks, it's been a good season. Dak is 93 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: not only the leader in the quarterbacks room like they 94 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: all revere Dak. He walks around and it's like he's 95 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: walking on water around that facility. A great drone shot. 96 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: Dak does it all and he lifts everybody else up. 97 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,679 Speaker 1: I think it's really interesting when you get this access 98 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,679 Speaker 1: in Hard Knocks of watching him in the room talking 99 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: with the others, and then also like Zeke Elliott for 100 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: whatever reason, it's been in the quarterbacks room, which I love. 101 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: He just hangs in the quarterbacks room and he but 102 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: Dak and Zeke are the guys from the Dallas Cowboys 103 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: and it's officially their team, and Dak is the leader. 104 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: When he's not out there, it's obviously on the field, 105 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: there's there's major struggles, major pick when he's not out there, 106 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: not available during the season. We saw what happened last year. 107 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: I thought Andy Dalton played fine. We saw some Bend Nucci. 108 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna get some Gilbert, some rush whatever it is. 109 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: No this team can go to the super Bowl with 110 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott there that talented and he is that good 111 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: at quarterback if he is healthy, I'm gonna say Dak 112 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: Dak is the most important player for Dallas Cowboys. I 113 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: might argue here on an August show that Dak might 114 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: be the most important player to his team this season. 115 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: If he's good and he's there, the Cowboys have a 116 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: shot and we could be rolling and Jerry Jones can 117 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: be doing the dancing and down to the locker room. 118 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: If he's not out there. Gain. That's two years in row. 119 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: And I was gonna say, I don't know how long 120 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: the leash is on Mike McCarthy if you have two 121 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: losing seasons and how that goes. So, Dak Prescott to me, 122 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: is the most important player, not only for the Cowboys, 123 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: maybe for the entire end. Wow, you got you got 124 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: caught up quick, like, yeah, you need a highlife right now. 125 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: I've actually listened to it was five years ago when 126 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: we started on Nate's first show. We might go around 127 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: and all of us would just yeah, it's Dak and 128 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: Stack and Stack. We've learned that since then. Someone has 129 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: to take the other viewpoint about it. Sometimes someone does 130 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: it disingenuously. I don't, Barkley, and I will tell you why, genuinely, genuinely, Okay, 131 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: because here's my irrational it's a little slippery. I grant you. 132 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: If Dak Prescott is average this year, Cowboys knows to 133 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: go to the playoffs. Okay. Their team is that rot, 134 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: that that loaded, They have that many good players around him. 135 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: Dak's pretty good, not great. They're going to playoffs. If 136 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: sae Quan's average, Giants ain't going anywhere. Yeah, I mean 137 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: sa Quan's gotta be great. I don't think Dak Prescott 138 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: has to be great in the NFC is the Cowboys, 139 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: sa Quan has got to be great. And if Peter's 140 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: jumped up an Och, I'm gonna jump mine up Ascott. 141 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: At what point did Dak Prescott become Patrick Mahomes fair? 142 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: Something happened here? Guys? Where Dak went from two years 143 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: ago lets ago twenty nineteen season. I'm not even sure 144 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: what his future is, losing big games, not playing well. 145 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: Aikman's on the call saying, we may have to tear 146 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: this whole thing down. Garrett gone, Scott. It comes out 147 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: last year, lights it up statistically and a lot of 148 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: losses start one and three. He gets hurt somehow he 149 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,239 Speaker 1: became a sympathetic figure and likable because of the injury. 150 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, the play was excellent statistically. 151 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: But Dak Prescott is not one of these top five, 152 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: top three guys. Does anybody misunderstand that he has never 153 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: won as much as the other guys. He is not Lamar, 154 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: he is not Mahomes, he is not Rodgers. I don't 155 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: want to crap on Dak right now. I don't want 156 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: to say the word crap, but I did twice. I 157 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: don't think he is the guy that we're making him 158 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: out to be, and I think the contract helps. He's 159 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: not one of those guys that came out. What do 160 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: you got, dak Prescott not in the top one? Well, 161 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, one in the top ten? Fifty? The players 162 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: did not vote him in the top one hundred. Has 163 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: he ever been in the top ten? Top ten? Ten? 164 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: The new no? So look, Dak good guy, a good player, 165 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: he got work to do, work to do. Sorry, and 166 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: I think he is very good for the Cowboys and 167 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: very likable and don't get me wrong, very good player. However, 168 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: I will see the three of you, and I will 169 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: compare you against seventeen one hundred NFL players who vote 170 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: in the top one hundred players and rain Dakota Prescott 171 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: poof that'sout there. I don't know. We'll see a lot 172 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: to prove this year. I'd pick a guy who's done 173 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: a lot for his franchise and a lot of wins 174 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: while he's been there over the top one hundred list. 175 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: That's just me. What do you think at GMFB, it's 176 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: Nate's last show. We've got more football talk as well 177 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: preseason Week three Radis NFL Network. Well, let's talk Titans. 178 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: They have one of the scariest trios in the NFL 179 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: this season. I said they're the best trio. Well, what 180 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: other team's big three should we be looking out for 181 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one? Will hate you. Next half the 182 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: coaches are going to play their starters for a quarter 183 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: quarter and a half. The other half are gonna pull 184 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: their guys and no one's gonna play. But then what's 185 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: going to happen in Week one is the teams that win, 186 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: every one of them are going to be geniuses because 187 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: they sat there guys, or because they didn't play it 188 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: because they played their guys because they look good. So 189 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: that's just how it go. You take it asof the 190 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: coaches talking to you, you're the same way of folks 191 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: will get on you. Um, you got a leader at 192 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: quarterbacker would do the same, and I think a player 193 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: let teams tend to do better. And so we have 194 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: a great leader at quarterback and he's gotten on me 195 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: before you as a refu and um, it's okay to 196 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: make mistakes. He just doesn't want you to know the 197 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: same mistakes and he wants you to learn from him, 198 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: and he's he's just he's uh, he wants it to 199 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: be perfect for when we get in the game. So 200 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: he got a mistakes feed then happen now versus later on. 201 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: But he's gonna coach you up. He might, he might 202 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: a little hot at you, but think he's gonna put 203 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: you to this side and coach you up like a 204 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: like a great leader and make sure it doesn't happen again. 205 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, Davante Adams, Aaron Rodgers. There certainly a formidable 206 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: trio in the NFL. You three are my favorite trio. Nate. 207 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: Of course, Kyle and Peter out there celebrating in New York. 208 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: Nate's final show. Let's talk trios because I said something 209 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: of the breakfast table the other day about the the 210 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: Titans having the best trio. Kyleie agreed with me. Nakos, 211 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: what thought I was crazy. Let's talk trios, guys, and 212 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: tell me which one you're most excited to see and 213 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: look at this season. Trakes Go, Dallas Cowboys care. I 214 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: think the Dallas again. I'm double running back, running it back, 215 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 1: and it's not gonna be a Maori Cooper. That's like 216 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: the third part of the trio. I think Ceedee Lamb year. 217 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: I think Ceede Lamb is gonna be a top five 218 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 1: wide receiver in the league this season. Really, I think 219 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: this guy is the breakout player of the year and 220 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: he's going to put on a show. And you put 221 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: in Dak Healthy knock on Wood, Zeke Skinnier knock on wood, 222 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: and then Ceedee Lamb just being everything that we've seen 223 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: not only in hard knocks but towards the end of 224 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: last season when he really started to take it to 225 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: the next level. I could watch Ceede Lamb highlights all 226 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: day long, starting from the days at Oklahoma when he 227 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: was catching passes from Baker and from Jalen Hurts and 228 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: from Kyler and from all the great Oklahoma quarterbacks to 229 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: now when he's doing it with the Cowboys. I think 230 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: that trio. They're not the big three, They're not Troy, 231 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: Emmett and Earth, but gosh, are these guys good. And 232 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: then you look at the other two wide receiver as well. 233 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: They've got a really good offense and I think they're 234 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: gonna light up with skies. I don't know about their defense. 235 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: They might lose a lot of games. Forty five to 236 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: forty this year, they are going to put up forty 237 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: points more than a few times. Yeah, and CD Lamb 238 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: might we might be talking about CD Lamb like we 239 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: were talking about DK Metcalf last year. All right, I'm 240 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: talking like that. Peter, we got we gotta host you 241 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: down on the Cedi Lamb. All right, let's just talk 242 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: lose me down. I mean, like we've seen you get out. Yeah, 243 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 1: Like like Peter, you spent the last month hyping CD 244 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: Lamb and you've hyped guys before and you've nailed it 245 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: and the able and all that. Ryan like you to 246 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: hype a wide receiver? What is going on? And everything else? 247 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: Everyone likes them? Why do you love them? Everything that 248 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: you're hearing at a Cowboys gap is that it's like 249 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: it's a sensation, sensation, a mouth dropped right. Great, And 250 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: then you talk to the defensive coordinators and they're like, 251 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: Amari Cooper is really good and Michael Gallup's great. On 252 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: the outside, we don't have an answer for CD Lamb. 253 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: That's gonna be the X factor. Cede Lamb to me 254 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: is an ex great and huge personality, great smile, tremendous 255 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: person as well. I think a really good ambassador for 256 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: the sport, and I think that trio it's going to 257 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: be pretty impressive this year. Just to re emphasize what 258 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: you're saying, I spent some time with Seneca Wallace a 259 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, former NFL chamber back, former Dallas 260 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys coach last season, and we were talking about Mary 261 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: Cooper and Ceedee Lamb. I said, what's up with CD? 262 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 1: He said, he got it. He got everything going, routes, 263 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: great hands, He's a big body when the balls in 264 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: the air, he said. More importantly, he's a leader. Came 265 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: in as a rookie, talking, barking and backs it up. 266 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: I'm with you, Ceedee Lamb is going to be a beast. 267 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: I'll go with the Seattle Seahawks, and I'm going to 268 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: exclude Russell Wilson. You're saying, what exclude? I believe that 269 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: he's going to be as consistent as he always is. 270 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: But I'm looking at Chris Carson. I don't think we 271 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: appreciate what Chris Carson has done over the couple of 272 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: years that he has been dominant. Last year is banged up, 273 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 1: miss four games. He only had six seven hundred yards 274 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: previously that two thousand yards seasons. Yeah, so he'll be 275 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: a thousand yard rusher this year. Of course, DK Metcalf 276 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: an absolute beast thirteen hundred yards Seahawks single season record. 277 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: I want to talk about a guy just scratching the surface. 278 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf is going to get bigger, he is going 279 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: to get faster, he will become more dominant. And Tyer 280 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: Lockett do we give him enough respectives? League? My dude 281 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: might be quiet, he doesn't talk much, but he put 282 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: up a hundred catches on a team where we were 283 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: just talking about one guy in DK. So I wanted 284 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,719 Speaker 1: to give you those three guys because if we know 285 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: where Russell Wilson is going to do, imagine when you 286 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: have a thousand yard rusher and two thousand yard receivers, 287 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: which they were last season, Seattle Seahawks might not just 288 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: be pretty good in their division. They might be one 289 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: of the best teams in the NFC this year. Oh 290 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 1: my gosh, what if they running of the Cowboys in 291 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: the playoffs? Got a guy to sey Lamb. Who's gonna 292 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: do that? I've got Coyle, Peter. I'm being genuine. I'll 293 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: say nothing crazy. No, I'm not. I Actually I'm tempted 294 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: to double back to the Cowboys because Cey Lamb sounds 295 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: like Randy Moss, but maybe a little bit more mature. 296 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: Early on, I had I had it. Took a day 297 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: off yesterday, not from work. I had that mental rest 298 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: day where I was not allowed to talk about justin 299 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: fields and the bars yesterday. Today I'm allowed trio. Justin fields, 300 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: justin fields, justin Fields. Now we'll throw in David Montgomery 301 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: and Nolan Robinson too. Look at this man. Look at 302 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: this man, six foot four running right to the bench 303 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: where he's gonna sit his butt for the opening. Not 304 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 1: really sure why, you know, it's funny. In the top 305 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: of the second, we're playing Matt Naggie, who I love 306 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: and I think he's a great leader and a great man. 307 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: I really love him, we all do. I don't know 308 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: what the hell he's doing, but he's saying, you know, 309 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: whoever plays their guys in the preseason and they win, 310 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna be geniuses. Whoever doesn't and they lose, they're 311 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: gonna be morons or whatever he said. Man, Matt, like, 312 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: you're kind of setting up the wrestling Matt for them 313 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: to slam you down, aren't you? Like the plan is 314 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: for no Fields against the Rams at least to start. 315 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: But listen, home opener is week two for the Bears. Ironically, 316 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: they played the Bengals Andy Dalton's old team. I would 317 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: bet the Justin Field is on the field by that point, 318 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: and I cannot wait. That's the season opener for me. 319 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: Week two for the Bears. Fields, Montgomery Robinson. I'll take 320 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: the day off tomorrow and I'll talk to us on 321 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: Sunday and my home and my children. Fields. He got Adams, Calvin, 322 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: you're saying Fields. You think it's speak too. I'm just 323 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: gonna give you the opportunity, Kyle, because Field is not 324 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: off the starter. Just come with me to the Titans. 325 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: You mentioned it yesterday. It's okay. I know I'm not 326 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: the coolest one, but you can be on my side 327 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: on this one. It's obviously Derrek Kennry coming off a 328 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: two thousand yards two A J. Brown, who is so 329 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: incredible in his first two years in the NFL. He 330 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: has more receiving yards through that time than Calvin Johnson, 331 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: Andre Johnson and Isaac Broos. It's Julio, a future Hall 332 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: of Famer. He's thirty two. He sells plenty left in 333 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: the tank. And I entice you, Kyle, because you will 334 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: not have Justin Fields for the Bears Week one.

Tell me this is not going to 338 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: be one of the most action pack games of the 339 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: entire Oh, it's going to be the action pack Adams. 340 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: I'm on your side.

Most excited to see though, Have I had 344 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: given you my Justin Fieldschmield. It's incredible.

Yeah, they're already knocking on 348 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: the door because I didn't say Tyree Killpatrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, 349 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: Tyrek Killpatrick Mahomes, Clyde Edwards Laire.

You've given me 361 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: many awesome intros, and I feel I know you so 362 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: well I can write your Wikipedia page. I do remember 363 00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: that you had said that your brother growing up called 364 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: Joe bagel boy. But there are no bagels on the table, right, yeah, 365 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: this is we're fam my friend. So yeah, yeah, okay, 366 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: all right, I remember remember, and you also licked I 367 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: believe Kyle's bagel as well. Either way, that will go 368 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: down and show infamy. Yes, all right, pink guys, Yes, 369 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: all right, I do have some news for you. As 370 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: Nate mentioned, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has said that 371 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: there is no timetable to name a starting quarterback on 372 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: the fact they're going to need one for the opener 373 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: against the Dolphins on September twelfth. That being said, Cam 374 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: Newton was back at practice yesterday after sitting out the 375 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 1: five day entry canes under COVID nineteen protocols. Newton is 376 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: still expected to play and Sundays priests and finale against 377 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: the Giant, says he and rookie Matt Jones continue to 378 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 1: battle for the starting job. That's beyond my control. I 379 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: can just control my effort every day and I'm trying. 380 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: I'm putting in a lot of work and everyone else's too, 381 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: so at the end of the day, there should be 382 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 1: no drop off because you know in the quarterback room 383 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: and something like Josh always talks about as a standard 384 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: that we play too in New England, and it doesn't 385 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: matter if you're first string, second string, third string, but 386 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 1: when you go in there's a standard, and I felt 387 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: like today I could have definitely done better with that 388 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 1: playing up to the standard. So definitely a good progress 389 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: and a lot of reps. It was fun, but we 390 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do elsewhere. Titans quarterback 391 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill has been placed on a reserve COVID nineteen 392 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: lists as a vaccinated player. Tannehill will need two consecutive 393 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: negative tests over a twenty four hour period in order 394 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: to rejoin the team. As long as he's showing no symptoms, 395 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: that means he could be back and available for the 396 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: preseason finale against the Bears, a game you can see 397 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: live here on NFL Network. And Bill's head coach Sean 398 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: McDermott announcing Thursday that quarterback Josh Allen will start Saturday's 399 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 1: preseason finale against the Packers. Alan has not played in 400 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: the previous two preseason games. We've got the Packers visiting 401 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: the Bills. That one's tomorrow, one pm Eastern. To kick 402 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: off your coverage on a Saturday full of preseason action. 403 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, he had a press conference yesterday. It was 404 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: quite long, quite lengthy, if you will, and he was 405 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: asked about this crucial season, not only for him personally 406 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: coming off an MVP year, but for the entire Packers organization. 407 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: Take a listen, look everything. We all know what's mistaken. 408 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: And I talked about that a little bit today, about 409 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: perspective and how important that perspective is to focus on 410 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: the season and enjoy the most, the most out of 411 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: this season because there are a lot of announced you know, 412 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: Fante Marquez, Allen, Bobby Merced, some guys up front, guys 413 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: on defense. So yeah, I mean they made they jump 414 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: through some hoops to get out the cap this year. 415 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 1: Obviously the cap is expected to go back up next year, 416 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: but you never know. So we're just gonna enjoy this season. 417 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: It's Titletown. It's a championship or disappointment to spend every year. Okay, 418 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 1: a couple trips to the NFC Championship game. The bar 419 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: is set pretty high there Entitletown. Kyle. Can this team 420 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: be better in twenty twenty one? Maybe they should be. 421 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: I mean, they got another year together, they got the 422 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: roster together. It's just it's funny hearing him say that 423 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: it's it's super Bowl every single year. I think this year, 424 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: out of thirty two teams, I think there's about nine 425 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: where if they don't go to the Super Bowl and 426 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: win it, it it would be an abject disappointment. I can't 427 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: think the last time that hasn't been the case for 428 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: the Packers. I mean, I feel like it's been ten 429 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: years of that easily, and so the question is is 430 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: it going to be the title game thing again? You know, 431 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is the nineties enthusiast. He loves other sports, 432 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: and in my mind with the with the Rogers, Packers 433 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: always goes to those Bobby Cox Graves in the nineties 434 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: river baseball fan. They're rolling out Glavin and Maddox and small. 435 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 1: Since they didn't stack the World Series, they didn't win 436 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 1: it every year, they didn't win it most years, and 437 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: there I looked at as a disappointment despite being World 438 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: Series champs. And I don't know, I don't think it's 439 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 1: about Marquez and DeVante. You know the three guys who 440 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: I think are gonna decide what's going on with the 441 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: Packers this year. A couple of guys name first of all, 442 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, Justin Fields, is Jared Goff have anything to 443 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: say about it? And then above that, what's Russell Wilson, 444 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Those guys have to say. The Packers are 445 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: the Packers. Maybe they'll win twelve games, maybe they'll win fourteen. 446 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: It'll be one of them. The question is is will 447 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: they win three games in January? And that's all I 448 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: care about, And that's Rogers, you know, want to talk 449 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: hashtag legacy. Could he ever get that second one? God, 450 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: it puts him in a whole different class because don't 451 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: about mistake. As much as we love Rodgers, maybe is 452 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: the best ever play. The conversation will be, now, what's 453 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: super Bowl? It's kind of like, Kenny really get that title. 454 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,239 Speaker 1: If he doesn't get that second super Bowl, it's it 455 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 1: makes it a lot harder man, a lot harder. And 456 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: he knows that. I think he does. And he said 457 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,959 Speaker 1: something there. He's like, we jump through hoops to get 458 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: the salary cap in order to make this work. And 459 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,959 Speaker 1: everything that they're saying in Green Bay is that Marquees 460 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: Valdez Scantling, who has a connection to our show because 461 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: loved them as a rookie and has even better as 462 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: a second and third year player, has been lights out 463 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: in camp and not just his usual hey go deep, 464 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw it too, as far as I can't 465 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: the route, the hands and the word out of Green Bay. 466 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: We've kind of gotten to know Marquees quite a bit 467 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: on our show. Is that he has not only matured, 468 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: but it's like this very evolved and self aware of 469 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: human being that as a person like he is a 470 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: true leader and not only the locker room, but an 471 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: ambassador for the sport. The way that he carries himself 472 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: and has interests outside of football. I want to listen 473 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: to Aaron Rodgers talk about our guy MVS yesterday, Marquees 474 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: Valdes Scanling, who I think is gonna have a huge, 475 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: huge year as their number two. You know, I don't 476 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: even want to talk about the receiver. I want to 477 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,239 Speaker 1: talk about the person. The person is in a way 478 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: different end space, you know. I think I think he 479 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: is so settled mentally, very clear, very present. There's habits 480 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: that go along with that, I think, and I think 481 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: they're interchangeable. Personal professional, But he's become a true professional. 482 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: There were times a couple of years ago where we 483 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: didn't know people would count on because he was inconsistent 484 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: in his practice habits and his daily habits almost But 485 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: that's not the mar Quest that I know now. It's 486 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: very honest, transparent. People change that people change, and he 487 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: went from being a very talented athlete to now he's saying, 488 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: I don't talk about the player, I'll talk about the person. 489 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: So they bring that in right, and then I think 490 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: they have the steal of the entire draft, and Nate 491 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: you mentioned him earlier this week. It's kid Klin Hill, 492 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: who's playing running back at a Mississippi State. Uh, they 493 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: have two running backs they love, right, we know Aaron Jones, 494 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: we know aj Dillon. Hill has been a revelation during preseason. 495 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: And I can tell you speaking with the coaches there 496 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: in Green Bay, they have noticed this guy is a stud. 497 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: Now does that mean four carries a game? Six carries 498 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: a game? What does that mean? Fifteen carries a game? 499 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: You now have three running backs a third guy in 500 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: that backfield, and they love Jamal Williams. He's gone to Detroit. 501 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: This is who's gonna be replacing a game. He might 502 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: take carries out of Dylan's hands. And look, Aaron Jones 503 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: does not carry the ball thirty times. It's not his game. 504 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: He's twenty times. And that's that. That is what they 505 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: do there. This player here, Hill, rookie. I think he's 506 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: gonna make a difference. I think their offense could be 507 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: even better. I think the Packers could be even better 508 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: than the word. Everybody can lean on the rush. I 509 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: haven't seen a running back group like this since what 510 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: a mod Green anchor. Their backfield does this feel different? Name, 511 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: it's the same old Packers. They're always great and they 512 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: can't win a Super Bowl. This doesn't feel It feels 513 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: different because I feel like, for the first time in 514 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: a long time, Aaron Rodgers doesn't have to carry the 515 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: load by himself. Now he has wide receivers and he 516 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: has a running back group that he can lean on 517 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: him when the past game isn't there. You're mentioned the 518 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: names Rodgers, of course, Scantling and Hill. You talked about 519 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 1: even other players within the NFC. I'll give you a name. 520 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: How about Joe Barry. Yeah, you guys, guy good after 521 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 1: it is Strake's the guy. He's put him on the 522 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: map here on the show their new defensive I know, 523 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: I know, but you show him a little love guy, 524 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: so we don't know about you highlight them. And now 525 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: he's in the biggest stage of his career as a coach. 526 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: We're talking about the new defensive coordinator for the Packers. 527 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: And why am I bringing up the defense? Because as 528 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: good as this offense can be, if they want to 529 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: take that next step, what do they need to do? 530 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,239 Speaker 1: They gotta have a defense that is phenomenal. Last year 531 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: they were decent. I mean they were there were guys 532 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: that can go up and make plays. Right. They had 533 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: eleven intercessions in twenty twenty. That's the middle of the pack. 534 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: I guess that eighteen takeaways, that's bottom of the barrel though. 535 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: So now you you add in a defensive coordinated is 536 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: gonna come in who helped who helped the Rams become 537 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: the best defense in all the football So he could 538 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 1: bring a little bit of the recipe that he used 539 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: over to the Green Bay. And then they spent what 540 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: first round draft pick? Their first pick was defensive guys 541 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: the last four out of the five draft. They got 542 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: Eric Stokes in this last draft in the first round. 543 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: So what does that mean? That means they are loading 544 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,239 Speaker 1: up on the defensive side of the ball. And I 545 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: think for the first time, and there's a piece and 546 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: comfort in Aaron Rodgers knowing you guys are making the 547 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 1: right decisions to surround me with the right pieces offensively, 548 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: now defensively, and a coordinate come in and balance out 549 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: this team. It's not just Aaron Rodgers. Hopefully you can 550 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: score fifty and maybe we'll win the game. How about 551 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. We'll hold a team to twenty one? Can 552 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 1: you put up twenty four or more. I got Aaron 553 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: Rodgers says, I got you. Lafleur got there, and Petton's 554 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: already there, and they're like, all right, we'll keep Petting here. 555 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: Two years of Patton, Lafleur's guy is Joe Berry together 556 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: in Washington for years, Lafleur goes to the Rams. Joe 557 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: Berry's with the Rams with him and McVeigh. Joe Berry 558 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: and Laflors peak the very same language. I don't there's 559 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: gonna be any miscommunication. If there are faltering moments for 560 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: the Packers' defense, it's not going to be because the 561 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: head coach and defensive coordina were on the same page, right, Guys. 562 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: I don't think there needs to be some like magical 563 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: solution moment, like I love everything you're saying, Joe Barry, 564 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: Marquis Baldo scantly, Kyle. I'm gonna spend it back to 565 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: you and ask you this sort of the same question 566 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: you asked me about what's different because I just go 567 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: back to that NFC Championship game, and it's if multiple 568 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: moments just ended differently, If there wasn't that buzzer beating 569 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 1: Scottie Miller touchdown at the end of Kevin King only 570 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: held Now I'm ended his thing. If there wasn't that 571 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 1: weird fourth quarter sequence where they had multiple chances in 572 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: the red zone could not get anything to happen. They're 573 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: like they would have been champions. Is a championship team, 574 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: So to me, they are there. Not much needs to 575 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: be improved. They they need to finish the job. So 576 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: I ask you, if it all comes back, all things 577 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: considered them to the quarterback, is Aaron Rodgers different after 578 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: this offseason he wins the MVP, he was on fire 579 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: all last year? Is he the same? Is he better? 580 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: Is he different at all for them from his twenty 581 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: twenty showing. Yeah, I think psychologically he's in a whole 582 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: different place. I think he is very serious about this 583 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 1: being the last dance and this is my last time 584 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 1: with my brothers, this is my last shot and likely 585 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 1: my last time as a Packer on the field. I 586 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: just think it's what we're talking about. It if MBS 587 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: is a better player, if Alan Lazard is a better player, 588 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: and if the defense is better. You know, all these 589 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: losses we see from Rogers over the years, it's never 590 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: a loss where he's trying to take him down the 591 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: field and oh through an interception and they lost. It's 592 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: normally he's standing on the sideline watching their defense get 593 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: ripped apart by right he most starred a Con Kaepernick 594 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 1: or what have you. Or he's been pulled off the 595 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: field to settle for a field goal. So Rogers is 596 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 1: going to be Rodgers. There'll be spectacular the defense, these 597 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: role players. That's the difference because as much as we're 598 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: hyping green Bay, the Bucks are incredible. The Bucks are incredible, 599 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: and they may give him the business they see him. 600 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: The playoffs finish the job green Bay. The Bucks have 601 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: the Cowboys week one of the regular season. Can't get 602 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 1: there until we get through preseason week three action. That's 603 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: what I'm here in Kansas City. It's the Vikings and 604 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: the Chiefs at Arrowhead. Tickets available at NFL dot com. 605 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: If you're in Kansas City, you're in Columbia where I 606 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: went to school.

We 625 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: just haven't figured out dates. Is that you hollowed at 626 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: me several times? Yeah, we couldn't get it on the schedule. Yeah, okay, yeah, 627 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: they think I haven't tried. Calvin the man, Calvin, we'll 628 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: calling bs on Nate right now. This is five years 629 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: of trying to figure out dates. It seemed really trying 630 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: to get you on the show because we love you 631 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: and we've been asking for you. Is he just lying 632 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: to it? Man? We have going back and forth. Man, 633 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: it just kind of got you know, disappeared. And whether 634 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,239 Speaker 1: it's my fault or Nate's fault, you know, you know, 635 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: it's all Nate's fault in the day, it's his showy. Yeah. Look, Calvin, 636 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: Nate's giving us so many of these great memories over 637 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: the years. I would love to hear your memories. You 638 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: were a veteran player obviously coming in there, and Nate 639 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,239 Speaker 1: Burleson joins it an elder statesman, if you will. What 640 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: was Nate Burlson like as a teammate, especially for those 641 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: Lions teams that were really breaking out when he first 642 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: got there. Yeah, for sure, I think um plenty of 643 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: teammates will say Nate was probably the best teammate we had, 644 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: especially the receiver group. Man, I think about all the 645 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: times Nate had us over to us house over the summers, 646 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: just the receiver group. We would kick it. We might 647 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: go somewhere else, We went all to it to Hawaii. 648 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: You know, just you know Nate as you guys, no, 649 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: you know, he brings us a certain level of energy, 650 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: you know, to the group, and a certain level of 651 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: fund every time. So I can only imagine, you know, 652 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: how good of a time you guys had over there 653 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football instead of being in the locker room, 654 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: you know, you know, up and down with the heads 655 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: and flows of being in Detroit. Calvin, Calvin, Calvin. I 656 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: never thought i'd see the day that you would be 657 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: on our show. Thank you for joining us in his 658 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: completely full circle five years of our program where we've 659 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: been asking Nate, we also talked about nicknames a lot 660 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: on our show, so I wanted to get something clear 661 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: by you that we've talked about. We know you, of 662 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: course famously nicknamed Megatron by Roy Williams. We know that story. 663 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: A little less famously, Nate Burlison was apparently nicknamed Recepticon 664 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: while he played alongside you. Is this like nickname Nate 665 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: invented and bestowed upon himself or was this actually given 666 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: to him by somebody on the team you know what. 667 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: I don't honestly don't remember, but if I had to guess, 668 00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: I thought, I think Nate mine made that one up, 669 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: and so I think they created Man, so he might 670 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: have made that one up himselves. No, doubt about it, 671 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: and I did. You're right about that jaw. Now, Calvin, 672 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: you weren't shrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame 673 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: and Kenton just a few weeks ago. Um, what stood 674 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: out to you about that moment? I mean I saw 675 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: you you had a huge smile on your face. It 676 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: just seems like you were just soaking in the moment. 677 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: That's all you can do, man, and soak it in. 678 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: Just think about it, man, like this. You know the 679 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: guys I looked up to, you know, I was in 680 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: the room with the guys that they looked up to, 681 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: and the guys those guys looked up to, whoever still alive. 682 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: Those guys are in the room as well. So it 683 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,239 Speaker 1: was just, you know, some levels to this thing, and 684 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: you got to see every level of it. You got 685 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: to see all football history right there. Man. It was 686 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: just awesome to be able to sit at the table 687 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: Chris Carter, Bruce Smith, Michael Irvin. Um, you know all 688 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: those guys and just learned to sit there and soaking 689 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: in That's all I was doing. That's why I was cheesing, man, 690 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: because all the great stories I heard and you know, 691 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: just the exciting feeling that it was. It's hard to 692 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: put in the words, man, just having all your family 693 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: there just to be with you during this moment. It 694 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: was incredible to watch team problem. We were so happy 695 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: for you, and Nate was just beaming about it the 696 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: whole time leaning up to it. Help us out here, Calvin, 697 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: because we'll do this segment sometime on the show in 698 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 1: the future. Here's the deal you put up, maybe the 699 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: greatest single season receiver receiver has ever had in the history. 700 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: Nineteen hundred and sixty four yards nineteen sixty four. That's 701 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: the most ever. There's a thing now where there's an 702 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: extra game. We got seventeen games. So if a receiver 703 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: beats nineteen sixty four but needs the seventeenth game to 704 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: do it, should your record still stand? How do we 705 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: handle this as a show. That's tough, man, There's so 706 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: many other records. Obviously mine is there, and yeah, one 707 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: extra game definitely gives guys an opportunity to get to it. 708 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: You know, Like I say, record sumants to be broken, 709 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: and adding the game is going to make sure. It's 710 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: probably gonna fall at some point, but it just a 711 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: matter of time. Yeah, we could talk record books. I 712 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,719 Speaker 1: want to talk about private jets go on, Calvin. One 713 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: of the stories that Nate often tells in the store 714 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: on the show is that you got elected to the 715 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl and as a great gift to your receiver's room, 716 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: you flew out the entire wide receivers room to Hawaii, 717 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: got them all rooms in Hawaii on a private jet, 718 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,879 Speaker 1: and Nate wraps about a dish truffles on spaghetti? Can 719 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: you go and tell us a little bit? Were there 720 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,280 Speaker 1: truffles on spaghetti on this private jet that you treated? 721 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: Nate Burlison too on that trip to Hawaii. Truffles on spaghetti. 722 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 1: So much stuff happened leading up to this. Trum mean, 723 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,399 Speaker 1: we like a night in la we got kicked out. 724 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: The hotel was like like, let's just fly. I mean, 725 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: here's a plan to fly to Hawaii, but we got 726 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: kicked out, so let's go. Um The trip was so amazing, 727 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,800 Speaker 1: you know, I don't quitely remember that might have happened. 728 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: That's just how amazing that trip was. You know, let 729 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: me explaining to you know who was all over Hawaii. 730 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 1: We were tailgating at the at the Pro Bowl thing. 731 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: We wrote our mole pits like twenty miles just to 732 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 1: get to the thing. Uh tailgate. Men, we were all 733 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: over Hawaii. We almost died on a cliff. You know. 734 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: It was crazy, no doubt, no doubt, it wasn't It 735 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,839 Speaker 1: wasn't good the time. Listen. I'll take this moment and 736 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 1: not to speak about me, but I'll speak about Calvin Johnson. 737 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: We know him as an athlete, but most people don't 738 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,800 Speaker 1: know him as a man. A couple of stories standing 739 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: out to me. After one of the days of us 740 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: hanging out in my house watching NBA, having good food, 741 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 1: good drinks, we walk into the locker room that next 742 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 1: day and we're all talking about how we're gonna sweat 743 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: out the night before all of us I'm talking about 744 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 1: all of us walk to the sauna because that's what 745 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,959 Speaker 1: athletes typically do. Calvin wats in the opposite direction, starts 746 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: headed to the weight room. I'm like, where are you going? 747 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 1: So I'm going to the weight room. I was like, 748 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,479 Speaker 1: I know, but we said we're gonna sweat out last 749 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: night and then we'll go to the way room. He's like, no, noa, 750 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 1: I'm gonna sweat this out my way. He goes and 751 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: gets on the treadmill and manually sweats it out that's 752 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 1: one story. Second story is we're hanging out after practice 753 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: one day. We're both banged up, just got done leaving 754 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: the trainers, and we're sitting there and I'm talking about 755 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: how I'm gonna take some pain relievers later that night 756 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: and I can't wait to get back from this injury 757 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: and get to one hundred percent. And Calvin is looking 758 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 1: at me and he's like, man, there's a better way 759 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 1: to take care of your body. You're putting in those 760 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,919 Speaker 1: opioids and it's tearing you up from the inside out. 761 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: There's a more natural way to do it. And he 762 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 1: talked about this a long time ago. So I wanted 763 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: to use this opportunity to commend Calvin on what he's 764 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: doing with Primitive Group, because there is an alternative to 765 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 1: going out there and tearing down your body with some 766 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 1: of these medications that really aren't good for you. So Calvin, 767 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: as your brother, as your friend, as your teammate, I 768 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,359 Speaker 1: see you and I'm proud of the moves you're making. 769 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: You're one hell of a football player, but you are 770 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 1: an even greater man. Thank you, Bro. That means a lot, bro, Man. 771 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,839 Speaker 1: We spend a lot of time together, you know me Bro. 772 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 1: So I'm just so happy for you and everything that 773 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: you're doing. Bro. Super excited for your next journey, dude, 774 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: Like I know we're probably gonna talk about that in 775 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 1: a little bit, but I can't be more excited because 776 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: this is you, man, this is what you do, and 777 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: you handle everything that you do with grace and just 778 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,359 Speaker 1: keep it up. Man, Happy for you and your family. Brother, 779 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: Really am no doubt, man, get my best to the family, 780 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 1: all right, of course, about about it.

What was it like 821 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 1: playing with a young Nate Burlson in the mid two thousands. 822 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: Is there a moment that comes to mind? I just 823 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 1: think all the energy. I mean, you guys see it 824 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:20,879 Speaker 1: on the show. You can just see you've been seeing 825 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 1: it in the past five years. Nate brings so much 826 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: energy amongst the crowd, the cord, the group. Man, it's amazing. 827 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: It's so infectious, you know, Like you said, both Nate 828 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,919 Speaker 1: leaving Minnesota, myself, I was traded from New England, both 829 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 1: chasing the same dream, and I was just one of 830 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 1: the only thing that I really wish I had the 831 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: opportunity to do alongside my brother and all the rest 832 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: of my brothers in Seattle was winning Super Bowl. Just 833 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: so that we all can kind of feel that, see 834 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 1: what that joy really truly feel. You know, this guy 835 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: deserved it. He deserves Dean. He mentions you so many times. 836 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,239 Speaker 1: This guy loves you, and we know that you're one 837 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 1: of not only Nate's closest friends, but its families too. 838 00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 1: And it goes beyond football. We've got to know him 839 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: so well as a person, as a brother on our show, 840 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,799 Speaker 1: not just a football player. So have you what does 841 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 1: the friendship mean Dion Branch Nate Burlison and how has 842 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,359 Speaker 1: that lasted over decades the two of you guys, since 843 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,240 Speaker 1: you met in two thousand and six, and it's it's amazing. 844 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 1: I think it all just stemmed from our family. You know, 845 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 1: our parents. You know, Nate has an amazing family. I 846 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,840 Speaker 1: mean I was never blessed to have three other brothers, 847 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 1: you know, like Nate. I had two sisters and a 848 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: younger brother. But I just think the bun and Nate 849 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 1: just so used to being around all the guys. I mean, 850 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 1: you could tell to get him goofing off here and 851 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:38,720 Speaker 1: I dust him in that race right there. You know, hey, buddy, 852 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 1: I think it's just the family structure, you know, Mama 853 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,800 Speaker 1: brotherson and Papa brotherson. They did an amazing job with 854 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: those with the brothers and boys, and you can see 855 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: it's actually spread amongst Nate and that the love, the 856 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 1: joy that he have for you guys on the set, 857 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 1: it's the same joy that he have for all of 858 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,239 Speaker 1: his close friends. Yeah, let me let me pick up 859 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 1: where you left off. So I'll set the scene for 860 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 1: myself Seahawks and and I'm just keeping it real. I 861 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 1: sign him to Seattle Seahawks, and I'm feeling myself. I'm 862 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,479 Speaker 1: back home, right. I ended up tearing up my thumb. 863 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: I'm not playing the way I want to. I'm in 864 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,280 Speaker 1: my feelings. I actually don't feel like I'm being embraced 865 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,919 Speaker 1: by the executives. I just thought I was brought over 866 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 1: as a reaction to this Hutchinson trade. Really just fighting 867 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 1: for my place on this team. While I'm doing this, 868 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,960 Speaker 1: I hear rumors that we're going to get this DM Branch. Dude, 869 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,799 Speaker 1: you're talking about the Super Bowl receiver. Oh man, he 870 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 1: comes in and he's playing the exposition like I am. 871 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,319 Speaker 1: So I listen. I'm not a hater, never have been, 872 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,319 Speaker 1: but there's a part of me that was, like, man, 873 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,840 Speaker 1: I hope he's not as good as he's he says 874 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 1: he is, because if he is, I'm going to be 875 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 1: on the bench. Guess what it's good. He was good, Yeah, 876 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,280 Speaker 1: really good. We were playing in Saint Louis the first 877 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 1: game and Seneca Wallas is standing next to me while 878 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 1: I'm on the bench watching him in my position, and 879 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 1: Seneca looks at me, He's like, man, that boy good, 880 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,359 Speaker 1: real good was coming to America something. And in back 881 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,799 Speaker 1: of my mind, I was like, but here's the thing, though, 882 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,799 Speaker 1: he was such a cool dude that I could not 883 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,720 Speaker 1: deny the fact that he was an even better man. Yeah, 884 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 1: so I found myself gravitating him like he was gravitating 885 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 1: to me. And coaches are like, all right, Vets, if 886 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,319 Speaker 1: you want, you can have your own room. If not, 887 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 1: you can choose a roommate. And here we are, like 888 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 1: eight year old, so I'm I'm bunking with the dude 889 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: that was snatching my position, taking opportunity away from me. 890 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,319 Speaker 1: But then from there it became competitive and we were 891 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 1: able to challenge each other and look at each other 892 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,040 Speaker 1: and said today I'm better than you, today you were 893 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: better than me, and go back and forth, and Iron 894 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: was sharpened and iron for the years that we were together, 895 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 1: and that's why we're close. Can I add something here? 896 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 1: I just think on sports TV in general, I feel 897 00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,320 Speaker 1: like toxic. You know, you verse me. You take this side. 898 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,359 Speaker 1: You're the ex athlete and you're down to see two 899 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: X players who were teammates and were contemporaries to show 900 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,239 Speaker 1: love to each other and lay down your guards like. 901 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 1: That is why we love nay Burlison and Dion.
