Speaker 1: we did it.
Speaker 6: I need also there was like a bro hug or

Speaker 6: part of this. Yes, there it is Kyle the fifth
Speaker 6: Insider peink best with the breaking four years, fifty million

Speaker 8: We're all in group breads like oh and that was awesome,
Speaker 8: Yeah great, And Slaven, Bernard's agent comes in. He goes, yeah,

Speaker 1: And now that I've done that made the television and everything,
Speaker 1: I just have sincere, sincere congratulations to Terrel Bernard. An
Speaker 1: incredible story. And my only regret I ever have for
Speaker 1: that draft night was that after I announced the pick, Mike,
Speaker 1: you know this, they didn't immediately go to the highlights
Speaker 1: of Terrel Bernard had Baylor, and he didn't get to
Speaker 1: have this reaction and everything. And I've always felt a
Speaker 1: little guilty about that that we didn't get to see
Speaker 1: his tape that night. But you know what, we have
Speaker 1: seen his tape on the field on Sundays in the
Speaker 1: years since then, and this is a story about him
Speaker 1: and about his family and all his future. I am
Speaker 1: so impressed, and there I say, I'm very very proud
Speaker 1: of Terrell.
Speaker 2: Bernard, very very grateful.
Speaker 1: I can only be there for the announcement of what
Speaker 1: has become an incredible career and he's just getting started.
Speaker 1: Congratulations to the Bills, to Ron, Terrell, everybody involved. Thank
Speaker 1: you very much for just tolerating me credibly well said.
Speaker 6: You gave us all memories for life, including Terrell. Kyle,
Speaker 6: so great job, but great scoop, buddy. They better give
Speaker 6: you full credit.
Speaker 2: You gotta get your.
Speaker 3: Credit now, Michi, thanks for the pickup.
Speaker 4: We appreciated. Kyle Brandt.
Speaker 3: One quick question before we get into this reaction, for
Speaker 3: the Bills news. Is that the same chicken wing from
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, that is.
Speaker 2: A fresh wing.
Speaker 1: It would be funny if that bite out of it
Speaker 1: was the second.
Speaker 2: Bite on the other side.
Speaker 1: I don't know what he can Actually, I tried to
Speaker 1: get the wing back to make it the same wing,
Speaker 1: but the people at the Smithsonian would.
Speaker 2: Not give it up.
Speaker 1: They're like, no, no, no, no no, this stays here in
Speaker 1: the same exhibit.
Speaker 2: Really really funny.
Speaker 1: I am the number one news source in the world
Speaker 1: for Terrell Bernard News anybody else, I got nothing, That's
Speaker 1: not what I do. But if you want something about
Speaker 1: linebacker twelve burner Buffalo Bills, I'm winning the Peabody and
Speaker 1: the Pulitzer and all that. I'm the number one reporter
Speaker 1: and insider in that beat only, so come to me if.

Speaker 2: But I guess she's getting paid nine am.
Speaker 5: East Coast Pagoula is handed out the cheese. Yeah right, guys, man,
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 5: TV is one of those guys. He's a Matt Rule guy.
Speaker 5: So you start like from before, why it happened. He's
Speaker 5: a Matt Rual guy. You know, I'm a Matt Rule guy.
Speaker 5: So I were cut from the same cloth. And to
Speaker 5: see the guys that listen to what was taught to
Speaker 5: them in college and just to continue to keep your
Speaker 5: head down and just working work and work and work
Speaker 5: and work.
Speaker 2: I'm proud.
Speaker 4: I'm proud we're a Matt Rule show.
Speaker 3: There are not many coaches that move on or get
Speaker 3: moved on from their job and show up on GMFB
Speaker 3: A couple days later. He hung with us for a
Speaker 3: couple of hours after he was down in Carolina before
Speaker 3: we went to Nebraska, and what a good dude and
Speaker 3: the fact that you can stand on your business and
Speaker 3: speak on coach that way and entrel Bernard.
Speaker 4: This says something about the Bills. Man.
Speaker 3: So first of all, how's your body? How's your off season?
Speaker 3: Before we get into.
Speaker 5: Your team, body is a strong yeah, ready to protect.
Speaker 5: Body is strong now, the body feels good. Off season
Speaker 5: is flying by as it always does. You know, I'm
Speaker 5: one of those ones that I enjoy staying busy. I
Speaker 5: enjoy staying busy. If I'm still, I feel like I'm
Speaker 5: not doing what I'm supposed to do. I like to
Speaker 5: work out and then work and then work out and
Speaker 5: work out and work out and work.
Speaker 2: And I feel good.
Speaker 5: You know, I've been from Philly to Toronto to w
Speaker 5: w E, to Elimination Chamber to saying hi to John Cena.
Speaker 5: It's coming back down and then coming here. It's a
Speaker 5: beautiful life.
Speaker 3: You were there for the hill turn huh Man in
Speaker 3: the commercial. Okay, we got to talk about your team first.
Speaker 3: First of all, this is DeMarco Farr. You walked into
Speaker 3: the studio. He looked at you like, oh, that is
Speaker 3: not a dude I would have wanted to play.
Speaker 5: I know, come on, you can't say that because look,
Speaker 5: every strength coach at Buffalo, which you know Will Greenberg
Speaker 5: is that had a strength coach. Now, if you were
Speaker 5: to tell him that, he would say, all right, Dione,
Speaker 5: you need to get to work what you're doing.
Speaker 3: And this is Cody Kesser, who would killed him when
Speaker 3: he was a quarterback of the Browns. But now you
Speaker 3: guys have to make nice and talk to each other
Speaker 3: on the show. And of course you are guy, Kyle Brant.
Speaker 2: Quarterbacks are qu you know, we do a great job
Speaker 2: of protecting those. Yeah, all right, right right, yeah, So.
Speaker 10: We're getting from the market, yeah yeah, yeah, And then
Speaker 10: I got the big screen.
Speaker 2: I don't know if y'all know what's going on in here.
Speaker 11: Kyle.
Speaker 5: You're big screened in here. You are bigger than all
Speaker 5: of us. You're talking about me tilting the floor.
Speaker 2: Kyle is the biggest guy in the room. He's the
Speaker 2: biggest guy in the room.
Speaker 1: It's always you in stature, it's always you in personality.
Speaker 2: I love seeing your face your body.
Speaker 1: See Dion's body is Temple and he actually went to Temple,
Speaker 1: so it works completely perfectly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's cook maybe, Yeah, let's go.
Speaker 4: All right, Kyle? Can you do the honors? Actually?
Speaker 3: I know you are always one that you can speak
Speaker 3: so well about the Bills and everything they went through
Speaker 3: last season. And the question that we want Dion to
Speaker 3: start us off with this this conversation.
Speaker 4: I think you can do it justice, So why don't
Speaker 4: you get us going, buddy?
Speaker 1: You know, Diona, it's the same deal over and over
Speaker 1: and I hate to say it that way. Incredible team,
Speaker 1: incredible leadership, incredible coaches, everything, success every single year. And
Speaker 1: then when you play this media game, you have to
Speaker 1: answer ask questions and answer them of things like.
Speaker 2: Is this the year the Bills get over the hump?
Speaker 11: Whatever?
Speaker 1: The which is probably a Super Bowl run. I love
Speaker 1: having you in here, and you're so positive and enthusiastic.
Speaker 1: I almost feel guilty just hitting you in the head
Speaker 1: with this hammer about getting over the hump? How do
Speaker 1: you respond to that? And how do you think about it?
Speaker 11: Right now?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 5: Is this the year the Bill's go over the hump?
Speaker 5: How do I respond? I think when it comes down
Speaker 5: to it. You have to understand as a competitor that
Speaker 5: there's the tough side and then there's the glory side.
Speaker 2: Right, there's the oh.
Speaker 5: You're a champion every year, you're a winner all the time,
Speaker 5: and then you're sometimes you're a loser. And not to
Speaker 5: say like when you've gone through it so many times,
Speaker 5: but when you've gone through it and you know what's
Speaker 5: going on, you just continue just to look back on Look,
Speaker 5: did you do the best you could do to help
Speaker 5: your team be.
Speaker 2: In a position.
Speaker 5: And I'm thankful that I could say yes as an individual,
Speaker 5: and then I'm thankful when it gets to the unit
Speaker 5: we can say yes, and then my quarterback can say yes,
Speaker 5: and if everybody on the team can say yes, I'm cool.
Speaker 5: I don't know what everyone's answer is. I think no, no,
Speaker 5: I I can say everybody on the bills answer is yes,
Speaker 5: and we still couldn't get over that hump. So I think,
Speaker 5: you know me, Kyle, I think we need Miles Garrett,
Speaker 5: you know, So Miles.
Speaker 2: Garrett, like Miles Gart. Miles Garrett wasn't there.
Speaker 9: To say yes, you know.
Speaker 2: And I'm an advocate.
Speaker 5: Form but like and not to say anything is wrong
Speaker 5: with our unit. There, But it's just like maybe you
Speaker 5: might need an extra extra diamond in the in the
Speaker 5: wedding ring, Like who knows, you might need an extra
Speaker 5: diamond for your wife to say he did really really
Speaker 5: good instead of he did really good. And it's so
Speaker 5: it's okay, Like it's okay, winners and losers. The Chiefs
Speaker 5: were the best team and they beat us. It's simple,
Speaker 5: like we can't fault on the other things.
Speaker 2: Stuff like that.
Speaker 5: The Eagles were the best team. They want the whole
Speaker 5: thing cool. Next year.
Speaker 2: We're thankful, we're still alive, we're still breathing.
Speaker 5: We have another shot at the door at the prize,
Speaker 5: and we're thankful to be in a position to have it,
Speaker 5: you know, and we got the MVP, so we have
Speaker 5: an even better shot.
Speaker 2: Like who cares, let's he's such a great answer, Dan,
Speaker 2: it's such a great answer.
Speaker 1: And when you talk about Miles Garrett, I'm reminded of
Speaker 1: a few years ago where you guys were good, you know,
Speaker 1: and everything was fine, but you wouldn't got von Miller
Speaker 1: because you're like, he's there, and he's Von Miller, and
Speaker 1: let's take a swing at it. And now Miles Garrett
Speaker 1: sits there and the Cleveland says they're not going to
Speaker 1: trade him.
Speaker 2: Maybe they will, maybe they won't.
Speaker 1: Do you how do you ask, how do you look
Speaker 1: at the front office and how do you look at
Speaker 1: Big Baller Bean and McDermott and all that. Do you
Speaker 1: think that they have it in him? Have it in
Speaker 1: them to go and get a fish this big? What
Speaker 1: do you think the temperature is on that?
Speaker 5: I well, well, knowing Big Baller Bean, his name is
Speaker 5: Big Baller Bean for a reason. You know, TV just
Speaker 5: got the Big Baller, you know, like, But I think
Speaker 5: with knowing the ownership, knowing the Pagoula is knowing McDermott,
Speaker 5: knowing Bean, knowing the team, knowing the ages of Josh,
Speaker 5: the ages of Me, the ages of the the dynamic
Speaker 5: of our team. They understand what's going on. And you know,
Speaker 5: I don't ever want to take shots at the at
Speaker 5: the big dogs, but you know, the big dogs gotta
Speaker 5: they gotta move that.
Speaker 2: They got to.
Speaker 5: Move that chessboard around and repaint those pictures in a
Speaker 5: sense of you know, restructuring and figuring out how we
Speaker 5: can figure out where we can have a little bit
Speaker 5: more you know, confetti to pay because when it comes
Speaker 5: down to it. It's it's a it sucks, but it's
Speaker 5: a money game of how you play it, and you know, restructure,
Speaker 5: you know, pull some of that out, do this, do that,
Speaker 5: or have a conversation with one of the guys and
Speaker 5: be like, you know it's never been been done, trust
Speaker 5: me or this and that or.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 5: We were you're one of us, and you know, believe
Speaker 5: in us and we can help you out.
Speaker 2: Who knows.
Speaker 5: I'm just saying that somebody got to make some magic happen,
Speaker 5: some Houdini tricks, some contract tricks, and you know, I'm
Speaker 5: willing for them to, you know, go in my book
Speaker 5: and you know, play with a little and bit of things.
Speaker 5: And I want the guy with us. I want to win.
Speaker 5: Josh wants to win. The guys want to win. And
Speaker 5: you know, I'm my own speaker for saying that I
Speaker 5: want Miles.
Speaker 2: But I want Miles with us.
Speaker 5: But like I play against the guy, I know what
Speaker 5: type of character he is, I know what type of
Speaker 5: player he is. I know the type of fear he
Speaker 5: brings on the football field. And with a team that
Speaker 5: we have, if you have a couple of extra star pieces,
Speaker 5: like that. I'm telling you it's a drastic game changer.
Speaker 5: And then the guys in the room are going to
Speaker 5: get better, and then the guys on the office side
Speaker 5: are going to get better. All the tackles, Spencer, me,
Speaker 5: the younger guys, they're gonna get better. They're going to
Speaker 5: go against him. I'm going to go against him. I'm
Speaker 5: in year nine, and I can get drastically better from
Speaker 5: having somebody and like that, which I already get better
Speaker 5: with Vonn and AJ and Greg. I'm getting better with
Speaker 5: these guys that we have, but with something and like that, Bro,
Speaker 5: Like that's like going from a from a bends to
Speaker 5: a Bentley. Like that's like you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 5: MERCEDI storing.
Speaker 10: I'll tell you this too, dude. I don't care how
Speaker 10: good a defensive line is. I promise you everyone will
Speaker 10: welcome Miles Garrett to their football team. I mean, I
Speaker 10: really believe that a couple of things, and you know
Speaker 10: better than I do, But I think the first thing
Speaker 10: they need to do is extend James Cook.
Speaker 9: I really do.
Speaker 10: I think it was a great player on your feet
Speaker 10: ball team year go sixteen touchdowns, what was phenomenal?
Speaker 9: Tied for the league best.
Speaker 10: Another thing I think they need to do is go
Speaker 10: out and get another wide receiver type one player. But
Speaker 10: I love that they extended Khalil Shakur. I think he's
Speaker 10: a very good football player. But there's some players in
Speaker 10: free agency right now, Davonte Adams, right, Chris Godwin, some
Speaker 10: of those guys that I think Josh would love to
Speaker 10: have to throw to and just add some room or
Speaker 10: add some more players to that room.
Speaker 9: And then the final thing for me is change nothing.
Speaker 9: I really believe that.
Speaker 10: And I think that if you guys were regressing and
Speaker 10: weren't making the playoffs and things were going the wrong way,
Speaker 10: then I'd say, Okay, now you need to take a
Speaker 10: step back and look at this at a bigger scale.
Speaker 10: Two of the last five years you've been to the
Speaker 10: AFC Championship. You've lost both of those. That's fine, okay,
Speaker 10: but we're going in the right direction.
Speaker 11: Still.
Speaker 10: It's not like we're regressing. So I really don't think
Speaker 10: you changed much. You just go back, dush yourself off,
Speaker 10: and make another run at it. Because I really do
Speaker 10: like the team that you guys have. Love Josh Allen.
Speaker 9: I think he's one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
Speaker 10: And I really do think this, and I'm not saying
Speaker 10: this because Dion's heering he's bigger than me. I think
Speaker 10: the Bills won it all next year, and this is
Speaker 10: our early I like that on record prediction. I really
Speaker 10: do think you guys get over that hump next year
Speaker 10: and then win the Super Bowl Special.
Speaker 7: And I'm with you if you sign Miles Garrett.
Speaker 2: That means you don't have to block him talk about it.
Speaker 7: There you go see it's out there too, and I'm
Speaker 7: with him. I wouldn't change a single thing. And I
Speaker 7: wonder what it's like for you to watch Josh Allen
Speaker 7: on tape because I saw him live when you guys
Speaker 7: came to LA and my jaw just dropped. I have
Speaker 7: not seen a guy that big, that fast, that could
Speaker 7: like play rugby and then throw for touchdown the field
Speaker 7: for touchdowns amazing. So that's got to be crazy to
Speaker 7: watch on Mondays as well. But I would say this
Speaker 7: about you, by the way, are those bruised fingernails or painted?
Speaker 2: These are painted? Are you painted? These are culture painted?
Speaker 2: Culture painted?
Speaker 5: This is this is I have daughters, and my daughters
Speaker 5: want to paint my nails yes, so instead they go
Speaker 5: with me to get him done the right way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like that, because when the.
Speaker 3: Daughters get involved in painting, you're like, this doesn't look great.
Speaker 3: It's smart, you get a bonding experience, but it looks good.
Speaker 2: Talk about it.
Speaker 7: I was completely distracted by the fingernails. And number two,
Speaker 7: there's a field right there. We can go do something.
Speaker 5: I've been waiting for you to grab your I know
Speaker 5: you got your pads.
Speaker 9: Yeah you know.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you that you get you with those
Speaker 2: nineties moves. Respect the I respect the old heads.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I will crush you right in your ship, your ship.
Speaker 5: I will crush you, man, you will you. You have
Speaker 5: never witnessed the ice pick move that I do. Look,
Speaker 5: you'll be face down talking about how many pushups were
Speaker 5: supposed to do like that.
Speaker 7: Have you never heard of a lookout block?
Speaker 2: Look at me? Look out.
Speaker 11: Mark?
Speaker 10: Okay, we've been getting along great this week. I'm an
Speaker 10: offensive guy that you're going.
Speaker 4: To stand behind showman.
Speaker 3: All right, that cross door opens, we're gonna get out
Speaker 3: there this hour. We're totally rewracking the entire show, and
Speaker 3: production loves it for us. One thing I loved about
Speaker 3: your team and for you guys this season was there
Speaker 3: was so much obsession over oh no, Stephan Diggs left,
Speaker 3: Oh there goes Gabe Davis. But then you got Mac Collins,
Speaker 3: and you've got Cleai Shakir and you got James Cook
Speaker 3: coming out of the backfield. You must love that saying
Speaker 3: those guys' names, even the ones that are on your team,
Speaker 3: working within this offense.
Speaker 4: That brings a smile to your face.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, because everybody in the league that's in the league,
Speaker 5: that is in a position to be on the field,
Speaker 5: is in that position for a reason. And you know,
Speaker 5: like Khalil obviously just showed why he's in that position
Speaker 5: and why he was in that position. He just got
Speaker 5: paid and he's a consistent receiver. You know, some quarterbacks,
Speaker 5: some receivers need a different connection to make a spark.
Speaker 5: Mac Collins, you know, he's had a little career and
Speaker 5: he comes to the Buffalo. He has a spark and
Speaker 5: you know sometimes you need that. And like what he
Speaker 5: said earlier, like we don't have to change anything. No
Speaker 5: could be because we really don't. We have every piece
Speaker 5: that we do need. But you know, my analogy with
Speaker 5: being in the building, you know, if you have a
Speaker 5: car sometimes you might want a pair of rims just
Speaker 5: to spark it up, you know.
Speaker 2: And that roster fear is a real thing. It's a
Speaker 2: real thing.
Speaker 5: If all that pressure can take away from Vaughn, maybe
Speaker 5: Vaughan could be Von Vaughan, like who knows, maybe Ed
Speaker 5: could be ed Ed. Maybe somebody could have just a
Speaker 5: little bit less stress off of their back, which is
Speaker 5: one sack more or one tackle for loss more. And
Speaker 5: maybe sometimes that's all you need. And I agree, I agree, yes,
Speaker 5: in our room, in the receiver room, yes, it happens.
Speaker 2: It flew.
Speaker 5: Josh got his guys. They connected and it worked. It
Speaker 5: comes from a relationship from the quarterbacks to the receivers,
Speaker 5: and the receivers to the quarterbacks and the rest of
Speaker 5: the world. But those guys did it, and they figured
Speaker 5: it out. They figured out the paying, and they started
Speaker 5: payting that brush.
Speaker 1: Well, We've had a lot going on in this segment, guys.
Speaker 1: I'm pleased to tell everyone this. We have now heard
Speaker 1: from the eighty ninth pick in the twenty twenty two
Speaker 1: NFL Draft to Rel Bernard messaged me he is watching.
Speaker 1: He loved the announcement that we made about his contract extension,
Speaker 1: and he appreciates all of us here on the show
Speaker 1: for doing him properly, especially Dion. Drel Bernard is having
Speaker 1: to day Dion, there is one thing we have to address,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna do it in the next segment.
Speaker 2: But TB got paid.
Speaker 1: There is this guy right here, number four with the scepter,
Speaker 1: and I know that he has been very productive and
Speaker 1: very talkative about also wanting to get paid. So we'll
Speaker 1: get thoughts on James Cook and we also love But Dion,
Speaker 1: you're the man right here, and let's keep the show going, Jamie.
Speaker 3: Okay, we're gonna because we have free agency for each
Speaker 3: Frenzy to discuss on all next week on NFL Network.
Speaker 4: And also we are working.
Speaker 3: Actively to get that garage door open so we can
Speaker 3: get these guys working some drills outside. All right, are
Speaker 3: some of these stars that you're seeing.
Speaker 4: On the screen right now?
Speaker 3: Are they gonna stay with their current teams or find
Speaker 3: new homes in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4: We're gonna be all over this next week.
Speaker 3: We are on the doorstep of free agency Frenzy eight
Speaker 3: hours of live coverage starting Monday, March tenth, ten am
Speaker 3: Eastern on NFL Network and streaming on NFL plus.
Speaker 4: You do not qualify though, if you are H. L.
Speaker 4: Bernard and you are a homegrown guy.
Speaker 3: And you get four years extension with your team. Deon Dowkins,
Speaker 3: you're with us the entire hour.
Speaker 4: You've committed.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm here.
Speaker 4: He's locked in.
Speaker 3: He's not moving except for to get up and do
Speaker 3: the drills against a Marco Parr. We got to talk
Speaker 3: Saqua Barkley. We got to talk James Cook. We have
Speaker 3: a lot to discuss with this offensive lineman number one
Speaker 3: in our hearts. We friend of our show and now
Speaker 3: Dean Dawkins in studio. Kyle, you are a happy man,
Speaker 3: although I know you're having major film.
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 2: Now, where are those Oakley goggles? Look at those things?
Speaker 2: Those are stretched to the limit. Man. All right, we'll
Speaker 2: get into it plus.
Speaker 11: All right.
Speaker 2: You know Lamar, he's got a couple of MVPs. You
Speaker 2: know his name, you know his game.
Speaker 1: Who is more likely to get to the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: next year?
Speaker 9: Is it Lamar?
Speaker 1: Or is it the raining MVP Josh Allen teammate at
Speaker 1: Deon Dawkins.
Speaker 2: We'll fight about it after this.
Speaker 11: Don't go anywhere, good mom.
Speaker 12: The year that he had and I still think he's
Speaker 12: just scratching the surface really where he's headed. Not as
Speaker 12: an athlete, he's a much much better from when I
Speaker 12: got here, not only his diligence, but the coaches throwing
Speaker 12: the football, progressing, or you know, all those things that
Speaker 12: he always knew he was capable of. But now it's
Speaker 12: really starting to come around, if that makes sense, and
Speaker 12: we try to do whatever we can to help facilitate that,
Speaker 12: all right.
Speaker 3: You know the story a couple of years back, Todd Munkin,
Speaker 3: after an illustrious career in both college and the NFL,
Speaker 3: he lands in Baltimore become the offensive coordinator.
Speaker 4: Now since twenty twenty two, and.
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson has been quarterbacking this Todd Monkin offense. The
Speaker 3: things have taken off. Lamar has MVP quality seasons. It's
Speaker 3: been a couple of years. Everyone has settled in and
Speaker 3: it started to work, especially when you have Derreck Henry
Speaker 3: coming out of the backfield as well.
Speaker 4: So you hear that a two.
Speaker 3: Time MVP Lamar Jackson is just scratching the surface from
Speaker 3: his offensive coordinator, Dion. I know you are paid and
Speaker 3: you are in your heart you speak the truth that
Speaker 3: you love. Josh Allen and that is the man in
Speaker 3: your best buddy and you protect him at all costs. However,
Speaker 3: can you appreciate what Lamar Jackson brings to the table
Speaker 3: and the impact that he has on their offense within
Speaker 3: the AFC.
Speaker 5: In the NFL, I would say yes, I'm very appreciative
Speaker 5: of the art of football and that guy is art okay,
Speaker 5: and what he does is play football. I would say,
Speaker 5: man like, with being out there and watching him do
Speaker 5: what he does, it's like, it's incredible.
Speaker 2: It is. It is literally incredible.
Speaker 5: It could have went either way, as the world knows,
Speaker 5: it could have went either way. And he is a
Speaker 5: consistent bass player where you're gonna like, you're gonna get
Speaker 5: exactly what you know from him plus more plus some
Speaker 5: plus everything that he has every play and guys want
Speaker 5: to play with him, and that's a big deal too.
Speaker 5: Guys want to play with him, which means that their
Speaker 5: team always has the opportunity to get better. And when
Speaker 5: watching Lamar run around, knowing where he's come from, knowing
Speaker 5: what he's been through, knowing what like what he's battled against,
Speaker 5: you know, guys wanted him to like they They never
Speaker 5: thought that he was a quarterback. They thought that he
Speaker 5: was a receiver and he was like and then he
Speaker 5: showed the world and he continues to show the world.
Speaker 5: And as a left tackle with protecting these guys. I'm
Speaker 5: an advocate, you know, for the art. I'm an advocate
Speaker 5: for the arts the moment, I like the r.
Speaker 1: I'm also an advocate for full disclosure of fair and
Speaker 1: balance conversation and Dion like, we know this really well.
Speaker 1: Everyone's always very sensitive about Lamar in the media, whatever show,
Speaker 1: whatever tweet you put out there, it's positive negatives. People
Speaker 1: love him so much, is very sensitive. I have to
Speaker 1: put this out there if we're talking about him scratching
Speaker 1: the surface versus Josh Allen. Lamar does not play his
Speaker 1: best football in the playoffs. I'm not saying he's terrible.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he blows. It's none of that stuff.
Speaker 1: He does not play at his A level in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: And it's not just a one year thing. I'd be like,
Speaker 1: the biggest difference between Lamar and Josh is that, due respect,
Speaker 1: each of them come up short of their goal each year.
Speaker 2: But the response when you guys.
Speaker 1: Lose in the playoffs the next day is never Josh
Speaker 1: blew it Josh through the interception. It's always like, holy crap,
Speaker 1: Josh was incredible and somehow they still couldn't win with
Speaker 1: the Ravens. It is often about Lamar that he did
Speaker 1: not have his best game, including this year.
Speaker 2: It was just there.
Speaker 1: He didn't play terrible, but he wasn't like I'm going
Speaker 1: to do anything I can and then you guys.
Speaker 2: Let me down. It's he made some mistakes. It happens there.
Speaker 1: So how do you see the two of them as
Speaker 1: a teammate of Josh, but also if you can step
Speaker 1: back as an observer, Josh in the playoffs, Lamar in
Speaker 1: the playoffs to me, their difference and that that's been
Speaker 1: proven over the years.
Speaker 2: How do you see him? Man, Kyle, that is a
Speaker 2: great question. How do I see those guys?
Speaker 5: With no disrespect intended, But you know, it's a conversation
Speaker 5: where one of the guys that we're talking about is
Speaker 5: my quarterback. So when you hear what I'm saying, understand
Speaker 5: that Josh is my quarterback and he's forever the head guy.
Speaker 5: But when it comes down to both of them, I
Speaker 5: think what it comes down to its are we.
Speaker 2: Playing with more style points?
Speaker 5: Are we playing to the core of x'es and o's
Speaker 5: of what we have to do. Lamar is a very
Speaker 5: highlight type of player, where something is always going to
Speaker 5: be a flip the ball and then a spin move
Speaker 5: and a juke move and a run around and oh
Speaker 5: he beat that tackler and then he jumped. You know,
Speaker 5: Josh can literally, you know, sit there and take his
Speaker 5: progression and this ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.
Speaker 5: I don't see that when it comes to Lamar, you know, like,
Speaker 5: it's just not it, it's just not style.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's yeah, And I mean Lamar is one of one.
Speaker 9: He really is. Josh is one of one.
Speaker 10: I agree with that Lamar is one of the best
Speaker 10: athletes in the NFL, not only right now, but probably
Speaker 10: ever right and that's not just as a quarterback. That
Speaker 10: says the NFL as a totality, but I just I
Speaker 10: agree with what Munkin said. You know, we've always known
Speaker 10: he's so explosive as a runner. He can take off
Speaker 10: and hurt you with his legs. We've always known that,
Speaker 10: and he's always been an efficient passer. But I really
Speaker 10: feel like he's developing as a thrower. He's he's perfecting
Speaker 10: his craft when it comes to going through progression and
Speaker 10: being a quarterback and sitting in the pocket and going
Speaker 10: through reads. And I do think he's only starting to
Speaker 10: get better in that aspect. Forty one hundred yards, forty
Speaker 10: one touchdowns, only four interceptions. That is an unbelievable stat.
Speaker 9: Line, right.
Speaker 10: And the other thing that Monkin said that I love,
Speaker 10: and I've said this for a long time.
Speaker 9: Is he's always so calm, cool and collected.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 10: He always is two or three steps ahead of what
Speaker 10: his next move is going to be, never gets too rattled,
Speaker 10: he never lets the moment get too big for him.
Speaker 9: He's just so well thought out.
Speaker 10: And I told this, or I've said this all week, Kyle,
Speaker 10: about a guy that knows when it's time to be
Speaker 10: Superman and when it's time to throw it away and
Speaker 10: be Clark Kent Lamar Jackson is a definition of that.
Speaker 10: You know, forty one touchdowns, only foreignerceptions. He protected football.
Speaker 10: I know there were some mumbles last year, and when
Speaker 10: he does try to do too much, sometimes he'll put
Speaker 10: the ball on the ground, But overall, I love the
Speaker 10: way he's playing. I agree, I think he's scratching the surface.
Speaker 9: He's getting better. Whatever you want to call it. He's
Speaker 9: going to continue to improve.
Speaker 10: He's still a young player, and I think the future
Speaker 10: in Baltimore is very bright.
Speaker 7: That's absolutely scary. If he's just scratching the surface. And
Speaker 7: don't you laugh at me, because these these glasses. You're
Speaker 7: heading this way too, you have no chance.
Speaker 9: So you look at you.
Speaker 2: He has no chance. To me, you have no chance. Man.
Speaker 7: We both play in the same conference. That's the shame
Speaker 7: of it. So you have to go through the other
Speaker 7: guy to get to.
Speaker 2: Where you want to go.
Speaker 7: And you're all still chasing Mahomes. So there's a lot
Speaker 7: there in the AFC. If I had the Parson down,
Speaker 7: and I wouldn't mind picking second. If I had to
Speaker 7: pick a quarterback between the two guys, pick a second,
Speaker 7: I don't care. I still get a great quarterback. So
Speaker 7: I'll go this way twenty to twenty. I'll take your
Speaker 7: guy too much. Feel to the fan, the guy can
Speaker 7: do just about anything. Twenty and in I'd probably take
Speaker 7: Lamar for the opposite reason. Not enough field, one mistake, touchdown,
Speaker 7: we lose. So either way, you get a great quarterback.
Speaker 7: Special guys, it's gonna be a battle, it's gonna be
Speaker 7: a race.
Speaker 11: To the end.
Speaker 7: You know this, You're gonna have to outlast the other
Speaker 7: guy and also try to outlast what they're doing in
Speaker 7: Kansas City. Fun. This is why we play the game.
Speaker 7: But if you want to be great, you want to
Speaker 7: be a mortal, you got to break through.
Speaker 4: That was really well said.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he knows what. I grew up in a time
Speaker 7: where we didn't have music at practice. So let's go, Kyle.
Speaker 4: The intensity at this table is ramping up. Can you
Speaker 4: please get it here in be Switzerland or something?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm gonna. I'm not gonna be Switzerland.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna be aggressive, and we're not gonna
Speaker 1: bring Diana into the table and not let him show
Speaker 1: all his feathers. Dian, I'm gonna put you through an exercise.
Speaker 1: We do here in the media all the time. So
Speaker 1: big four quarterbacks, okay, Josh Mahomes, Burrow, Lamar, We talk
Speaker 1: about them like that all the time. Those are the
Speaker 1: four guys in the FC this coming season, like twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. You gotta win a big game. Rank them,
Speaker 1: Josh Mahomes, Burrow, Lamar.
Speaker 2: I can tell you mine, but I want to let
Speaker 2: you go.
Speaker 5: First day Josh Mahomes. You have to win a big game.
Speaker 5: I'm going with Josh. I'm never Josh, It's Josh. I
Speaker 5: think the next I would say Mahomes, and then after
Speaker 5: that I would say Lamar and then Burrow.
Speaker 2: And I think even Burrow and Lamar can sit.
Speaker 5: Side by side. Like, I don't want to put it
Speaker 5: in four. It could be one two, three, three three
Speaker 5: A three B.
Speaker 2: You still got Mahomes over them after last year. Come on.
Speaker 2: Of course, of course.
Speaker 4: You're going to match the exercise.
Speaker 2: Of course I wins.
Speaker 1: He's I went Josh, Mahomes, Burrow, Lamar.
Speaker 2: I had Burrow first. Yeah, White, what you say?
Speaker 5: He's trying to get murdered in a one on one?
Speaker 5: If you are sitting here, Kyle, what's your humis? He
Speaker 5: is is eyeing me like he really wants to get.
Speaker 2: Out of you. I gotta do this.
Speaker 5: I understand what's going on. But he does not want
Speaker 5: the sauce. I respect the Orgies. He's trying to touch
Speaker 5: the grave. Early man, you live a great life. He
Speaker 5: wants to touch the grade. It's beautiful. It's in California.
Speaker 5: The palm trees is here, and he want to go
Speaker 5: touch the grade.
Speaker 7: Don't sniff it, don't don't leave at it.
Speaker 2: Why are you winking at it? Man? Leave it alone.
Speaker 2: It's over there. You know it's alloween trying to touch
Speaker 2: the tolbsto.
Speaker 10: Good too, man, They only ask you. You miss playing football?
Speaker 10: I miss being around guy.
Speaker 3: I know, right, Dion Dawkins, everybody, We're we're hanging out
Speaker 3: with the Bill tackle today. We I think apparently we're
Speaker 3: going outside and DeMarco far do you doctors are gonna
Speaker 3: do it? Mike, you'r a follow Please provide some relief
Speaker 3: to the table.
Speaker 4: Our NFL network insider are joining us this morning.
Speaker 3: News from the Lions from Detroit.
Speaker 4: Oh, let's go to the NFC. Mike, what you got?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 7: This is a fun one.
Speaker 6: Derek Barnes, who was limited to three games last year
Speaker 6: the linebacker for the Lions because of a knee injury,
Speaker 6: agrees to an extension in Detroit. He was slated to
Speaker 6: be a free agent, but the Lions, showing the faith
Speaker 6: that they have in Barnes despite that knee injury, three years,
Speaker 6: twenty five point five million dollars with sixteen million guaranteed. This,
Speaker 6: according to me and Ian Rappaport, a deal done by
Speaker 6: the Firm Sports Stars in New York, which also did
Speaker 6: the Terrell Bernard deal that Kyle broke earlier in the show.
Speaker 6: So good morning for the Firm Sports Stars, and a
Speaker 6: good morning for Derek Barnes if you remember him. Andrew
Speaker 6: Whitworth that speech at NFL honors a couple of years
Speaker 6: ago when he won the Walter Payton Man of the
Speaker 6: Year award, was talking about Derek Barnes, whom he met
Speaker 6: as a young kid. Barnes telling Whitworth, I made it,
Speaker 6: big Wit.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well now he.
Speaker 9: Really made it.
Speaker 6: Twenty five point five million dollars. Congrats to Derek Barnes. Meanwhile,
Speaker 6: Trey Henderson is looking for more money. The Bengals pass rusher,
Speaker 6: who led the league in sacks, has been given permission
Speaker 6: to seek a trade because the Bengals have a bunch
Speaker 6: of d that they need to do at the receiver
Speaker 6: position and elsewhere.
Speaker 7: Jamar Esen t Higgins.
Speaker 6: So Hendrickson, who was looking for a payday in line
Speaker 6: with let's say Max Crosby, who just got thirty five
Speaker 6: million dollars per year. Hendrickson right now slated to make
Speaker 6: sixteen million in the final year of his deal.
Speaker 4: So it's looking like he is going to get the
Speaker 4: chance to move on.
Speaker 6: A team is going to have to give up draft
Speaker 6: pick compensation as well as monetary competition to Hendrickson. One
Speaker 6: more news item we want to give to you right now.
Speaker 6: Mitch Morse, the center for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He announces
Speaker 6: his retirement after ten years in the NFL. He made
Speaker 6: one Pro Bowl back in twenty twenty two, but certainly
Speaker 6: was an excellent center for the Bills, the Chiefs, and
Speaker 6: the Jaguars. He walked away from some guaranteed money. He
Speaker 6: had a million and a half guaranteed for this upcoming season,
Speaker 6: so he won't collect that, but the Jaguars are not
Speaker 6: going to make him payback what he would have owed
Speaker 6: this in signing bonus allocation, which would have been more
Speaker 6: than that. So Mitch Morris walking away. Dion Dawkins, who
Speaker 6: knows Mitch Morris well, having played alongside them him in here,
Speaker 6: let's get your reaction to Mitch calling it a career
Speaker 6: after a decade.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Mitch's Mitch. You know, Mitch, I hate to say it,
Speaker 5: but you know the secret is out. You know the
Speaker 5: world shall know that your nickname is Mitch's body, Mitch's elbow,
Speaker 5: and Mitch's toe. You know, playing with a guy like Mitch,
Speaker 5: Mitch was just one of those humans that he was
Speaker 5: who he was every day he came to work. He
Speaker 5: was straightforward, He made his calls, he made his points,
Speaker 5: and he kept everybody on the line comfortable. And you know,
Speaker 5: as a player, I can respect that because you know,
Speaker 5: like it's very hostile in the trenches, and Mitch was
Speaker 5: one of those guys that kept it calm, and then
Speaker 5: he was one of those guys that you know, like
Speaker 5: when it was time to speak up and bark, he
Speaker 5: would bark. And Mitch was just one of those guys
Speaker 5: that you know, set the tone quietly, but also could
Speaker 5: set the tone loudly with his speed and his effort
Speaker 5: on the field was immaculate. If you have not watched,
Speaker 5: Mitch was one of the first guys to continue to
Speaker 5: be down the field to pick up the running backs,
Speaker 5: continue to be down the field to pick up the
Speaker 5: quarterbacks because we have a quarterback that is also down
Speaker 5: the yield. And as a player, we could appreciate that
Speaker 5: because you know, like when the game gets long and
Speaker 5: you're in the third quarter, the fourth quarter, you might
Speaker 5: want to take a couple of jogs back, right, And
Speaker 5: that's real, And Mitch is just one of those guys
Speaker 5: that consistently did it. And you know, as a player,
Speaker 5: I could respect that because you were one that was
Speaker 5: never selfish and you were one that was always true.
Speaker 2: But happy retirement to my boy man.
Speaker 4: You well done.
Speaker 3: Speaking of hostile in the trenches, We're going to go
Speaker 3: outside with DeMarco far and Snowman next.
Speaker 2: Good morning football.
Speaker 3: Okay, we can't stop the chatter. We have found ourselves
Speaker 3: outside SOFI Stadium behind us GMFB.

Speaker 3: that he deserves to get paid. Your thoughts on Jimbo

Speaker 3: who I'm sure is watching and nervous about. You're gonna say,
Speaker 3: don't you know Bean?
Speaker 5: You know, we know Bean, the world don't know Bean
Speaker 5: being gonna do what he gotta do. Bean loves his guys.
Speaker 5: He said it the end of the season, to everyone's face.
Speaker 5: Bean does not want to change our team. Which you
Speaker 5: said it now, I'm saying it, big Waller, Bean, get
Speaker 5: my boy, Jimbo paid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kyle, Okay, Kyle's gonna ask a question.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Kyle.

Speaker 1: want you to do some play by play. We're going
Speaker 1: to show you fourth and inches in the title game,

Speaker 5: you want to call it. And this is you know,
Speaker 5: hm play by play. Okay, we're trying to.
Speaker 2: Yo. We failed man, Yo. Yeah, this hurts my feeling.
Speaker 2: Did you get it with heelings?
Speaker 5: I can't explain this, car, I can't explain this. I
Speaker 5: can't explain this. I can't explain this. It's unexplainable. Look
Speaker 5: at my butt on the ground. No, but this is
Speaker 5: the touch push. You're supposed to be on the ground.
Speaker 5: They figured out a way to get it right. You know,
Speaker 5: I had two guys over me. I'm supposed to come down,
Speaker 5: get my guy out of that gap, but I'm also
Speaker 5: getting hit, and I was anticipating getting hit. And great
Speaker 5: game planned by the Kansas City Chiefs. Hey, I gotta
Speaker 5: give it the credit.
Speaker 2: It is what it is.
Speaker 7: Why would you show him that right before we do football?
Speaker 3: Okay, guys, you've been talking about a business for about
Speaker 3: thirty five minutes.

Speaker 10: a week now. I was worried he was gonna and
Speaker 10: I know, I know Dion's not gonna take it, not
Speaker 10: gonna get beat, and.
Speaker 9: He's too competitive.
Speaker 3: You want to just take a minute and and just
Speaker 3: speak fondly of this man in his skill set, of
Speaker 3: what he means, the position that he plays.
Speaker 2: I don't have pads.

Speaker 2: That's my fun. My family is fun.
Speaker 5: But my workouts are walking, I lift, and I box.
Speaker 4: Okay, oh great.
Speaker 5: Boxing has become one of my biggest tools because if
Speaker 5: you've noticed with my with my ice pick, move that
Speaker 5: and I do, everything is all timing, Everything is all
Speaker 5: where their hands are at and I'm looking.
Speaker 2: I'm basically like this the whole game. So if they
Speaker 2: put their long rum out instead of jabbing, I am smarting.
Speaker 5: So I'm keeping guys off of my body because it's
Speaker 5: a physical game, like you have to figure out a
Speaker 5: way not to get hit right and just like boxes,
Speaker 5: you have to figure away away not to get hit
Speaker 5: in the face. Floyd has mastered I'm trying to master it.
Speaker 5: So I walk six miles a day. Me and my
Speaker 5: guys are nest though Tony Andy even day day.
Speaker 2: We walk.
Speaker 5: We walk every day and that has been one of
Speaker 5: the biggest tools as well, outside of boxing.
Speaker 2: And then we lift, we lift weights and then we
Speaker 2: have fun.
Speaker 4: That's really cool.
Speaker 2: It's a good balance.
Speaker 4: That's how I feel with my ice for when I'm
Speaker 4: hosting the show. I'm like, Kyle, like constantly with the handstock. Kyle,
