1 00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,628 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in 2 00:00:06,708 --> 00:00:26,588 Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio. The Minnesota Vikings, who are having a 3 00:00:26,628 --> 00:00:29,068 Speaker 1: great season, they might having some fun with their quarterback 4 00:00:29,148 --> 00:00:32,388 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins leading lending him their diamond chains after the 5 00:00:32,388 --> 00:00:35,068 Speaker 1: team wins. It's becoming a thing. So we're gonna call 6 00:00:35,108 --> 00:00:37,508 Speaker 1: this for the sake of this segment a flex a. 7 00:00:37,668 --> 00:00:40,708 Speaker 1: Kirk is flexing his his his jewelry that he's borrowing. 8 00:00:40,748 --> 00:00:44,948 Speaker 1: I would imagine Meanwhile, American Icon and New Treasure, New 9 00:00:44,988 --> 00:00:49,828 Speaker 1: England Patriot Rookie Brendan's schooler, guys, here it comes, get 10 00:00:49,868 --> 00:00:51,748 Speaker 1: ready to He recovered him off punt. He is an 11 00:00:51,828 --> 00:00:54,908 Speaker 1: undrafted rookie. He got the ball and he points to 12 00:00:54,948 --> 00:00:57,228 Speaker 1: his head coach and he says, just just for you, 13 00:00:57,348 --> 00:00:59,148 Speaker 1: and he runs to Bill Belichick and so I want 14 00:00:59,148 --> 00:01:00,428 Speaker 1: you to have this coach in the middle of the 15 00:01:00,468 --> 00:01:04,628 Speaker 1: game and says what And then Jason takeover of this. 16 00:01:04,788 --> 00:01:09,148 Speaker 1: I talked to him Monday night. There was there was 17 00:01:09,308 --> 00:01:11,228 Speaker 1: there was a coach on the sideline that I told 18 00:01:11,308 --> 00:01:13,988 Speaker 1: him to do this. Unaware to him, the coach was 19 00:01:14,108 --> 00:01:17,708 Speaker 1: joking around while saying it. He goes and does it. 20 00:01:18,188 --> 00:01:21,068 Speaker 1: So I think it was all laughed about like he didn't. 21 00:01:21,348 --> 00:01:24,028 Speaker 1: It was all good. We got we got that gem. 22 00:01:24,108 --> 00:01:26,148 Speaker 1: But yes, hey, school or you know, it'd be funny. 23 00:01:26,188 --> 00:01:28,268 Speaker 1: You should go give that to Belichick that he really 24 00:01:28,348 --> 00:01:33,588 Speaker 1: likes that. He's a big muff punk guy, so go 25 00:01:33,668 --> 00:01:37,228 Speaker 1: give it to be. So anyway, for the segment of 26 00:01:37,228 --> 00:01:40,348 Speaker 1: this segment, that moment, we're gonna call that perplexed. So 27 00:01:40,388 --> 00:01:45,868 Speaker 1: this segment is called flex or perplext We are starting, 28 00:01:45,948 --> 00:01:50,028 Speaker 1: I believe in Minnesota and Minnesota. Okay, we're going to Minnesota. 29 00:01:50,028 --> 00:01:51,908 Speaker 1: We mentioned them to start the segment, right, I think. 30 00:01:51,948 --> 00:01:54,308 Speaker 1: So the Minnesota is five and one, all right, and 31 00:01:54,348 --> 00:01:56,828 Speaker 1: this is perfect for them. They lost one game. But 32 00:01:56,908 --> 00:02:00,348 Speaker 1: let's go to this guys. The topic is Minnesota Vikings. 33 00:02:00,788 --> 00:02:05,508 Speaker 1: Are they the least talked about five even one team 34 00:02:05,628 --> 00:02:10,668 Speaker 1: that you can possibly remember? Flex or perplex I'm going 35 00:02:10,908 --> 00:02:13,748 Speaker 1: flex we do. Yes, we don't talk about them. This 36 00:02:13,828 --> 00:02:17,028 Speaker 1: is true, this is accurate. They're five and one. Yes, 37 00:02:17,148 --> 00:02:19,948 Speaker 1: they lost the game they played against the Philadelphia Eagles 38 00:02:19,948 --> 00:02:22,668 Speaker 1: Monday night. It was embarrassing. They were shut down. We 39 00:02:22,748 --> 00:02:26,188 Speaker 1: got prime time Kurt. But look at this, this guy's 40 00:02:26,228 --> 00:02:28,588 Speaker 1: flexing with their jewelry on. They're getting it done. They 41 00:02:28,588 --> 00:02:31,028 Speaker 1: went across upon they beat the Saints. We already know 42 00:02:31,068 --> 00:02:33,148 Speaker 1: they opened up with a win against the Packers. They're 43 00:02:33,228 --> 00:02:35,828 Speaker 1: prime to win this division. And think about it, how 44 00:02:35,828 --> 00:02:37,748 Speaker 1: many eight blocks? How many times have we opened up 45 00:02:37,748 --> 00:02:40,548 Speaker 1: the show so far this season with the Minnesota Vikings 46 00:02:40,548 --> 00:02:43,628 Speaker 1: as a topic. We just haven't done it. Kevin O'Connell 47 00:02:43,668 --> 00:02:45,828 Speaker 1: has these guys ball in a year one. We're not 48 00:02:45,868 --> 00:02:49,668 Speaker 1: talking about They don't talk about them. And Jamie's probably 49 00:02:49,668 --> 00:02:51,828 Speaker 1: the only one who's always doing her skull clap and 50 00:02:51,908 --> 00:02:53,708 Speaker 1: all of that. Maybe it's just it's too cold and 51 00:02:53,788 --> 00:02:55,868 Speaker 1: you get a load of this. Robert Sali though, my god, 52 00:02:55,908 --> 00:03:01,868 Speaker 1: this Brian David great Jamie flexed or perplex least talked 53 00:03:01,908 --> 00:03:04,548 Speaker 1: about five and one team in memory. It is perplexing 54 00:03:04,628 --> 00:03:07,108 Speaker 1: how we are not flexing on the Minnesota Vikings. They 55 00:03:07,148 --> 00:03:10,668 Speaker 1: are five and one. What is happening? Prime to win 56 00:03:10,708 --> 00:03:13,628 Speaker 1: the division? They've already they're well on their way. This 57 00:03:13,708 --> 00:03:16,628 Speaker 1: isn't like they're primed August thirty first, like they've already 58 00:03:16,668 --> 00:03:19,548 Speaker 1: beat the Packers. They are all right again, they already 59 00:03:19,548 --> 00:03:23,028 Speaker 1: beat the Bears like these now five and one, we 60 00:03:23,068 --> 00:03:25,388 Speaker 1: would play like that if the if the playoffs started today, 61 00:03:25,428 --> 00:03:28,228 Speaker 1: Like this is how things would they are home field advantage, 62 00:03:28,268 --> 00:03:31,108 Speaker 1: like just laying on them. Their quarterback is dripped out. 63 00:03:31,788 --> 00:03:34,028 Speaker 1: This jersey would look great on anybody. If I don't 64 00:03:34,068 --> 00:03:36,348 Speaker 1: think it's infuriating, is what it is is that we're 65 00:03:36,388 --> 00:03:38,428 Speaker 1: not talking more about the five and one minutes. So 66 00:03:38,468 --> 00:03:41,228 Speaker 1: I think it's for you. Yeah, I'm perplexed as to 67 00:03:41,308 --> 00:03:44,668 Speaker 1: why we're not talking more about Kings. You don't want 68 00:03:44,708 --> 00:03:47,068 Speaker 1: a Vikings parade every day in the regular season. You 69 00:03:47,188 --> 00:03:49,068 Speaker 1: want them to be under the radar so that when 70 00:03:49,068 --> 00:03:51,228 Speaker 1: the playoffs come it's a pleasant surprise opposed to the 71 00:03:51,308 --> 00:03:54,028 Speaker 1: usual Vikings love fest. And then they lose some heartbreaking 72 00:03:54,028 --> 00:03:56,308 Speaker 1: playoff game and you're talking about Blair Walsh at dinner. Here. 73 00:03:56,348 --> 00:04:00,788 Speaker 1: Here's what I'm invoke. The name just a random Blair project. 74 00:04:01,028 --> 00:04:04,228 Speaker 1: Oh no, that's why they were calling a Sorry Blair 75 00:04:04,508 --> 00:04:06,988 Speaker 1: watched the Vikings this year. I think the record is 76 00:04:07,068 --> 00:04:09,668 Speaker 1: very good. We saw them get the snot kicked out 77 00:04:09,668 --> 00:04:11,948 Speaker 1: of them in Philadelphia on primetime. But they were up 78 00:04:11,948 --> 00:04:14,908 Speaker 1: big on Chicago. Chicago came back. They were up big 79 00:04:14,948 --> 00:04:17,468 Speaker 1: on the Dolphins. The Dolphins came back. Well, yes, they 80 00:04:17,508 --> 00:04:20,428 Speaker 1: shut the door right, Yes, exactly. That was the beef 81 00:04:20,468 --> 00:04:22,628 Speaker 1: with last year was that the final two minutes of 82 00:04:22,628 --> 00:04:25,228 Speaker 1: any half a game, they can't shut the door the guy. 83 00:04:25,548 --> 00:04:27,828 Speaker 1: Can you please give me a clear flexed or perplex 84 00:04:27,908 --> 00:04:30,148 Speaker 1: with them, and then you can do your dissertation. I'm 85 00:04:30,188 --> 00:04:32,668 Speaker 1: going to say flex. We don't talk about them, but 86 00:04:33,028 --> 00:04:38,748 Speaker 1: just defiably Okay, okay, you don't think we should. These 87 00:04:38,748 --> 00:04:41,548 Speaker 1: winds are these winds have been great. I'm not discrediting them, 88 00:04:42,908 --> 00:04:46,308 Speaker 1: but they're stacking winds, stacking wins. But they were supposed 89 00:04:46,308 --> 00:04:50,228 Speaker 1: to be good, and they're good. Peter, if you can't, 90 00:04:50,388 --> 00:04:52,628 Speaker 1: I mean we're staying there. The least talked about five 91 00:04:52,668 --> 00:04:54,108 Speaker 1: on one team in a long time. There's been a 92 00:04:54,108 --> 00:04:55,988 Speaker 1: lot of I'm sure there's been some Titans team that's 93 00:04:55,988 --> 00:05:02,308 Speaker 1: five and one, probably a lot like tenan Kerry Collins. Yeah. Well, 94 00:05:02,348 --> 00:05:05,708 Speaker 1: like I'm gonna say, watch, I'm gonna say perplex as 95 00:05:05,748 --> 00:05:07,348 Speaker 1: in this guy giving the football get it? So when 96 00:05:07,348 --> 00:05:09,748 Speaker 1: we say it, they're supposed to like show. Yeah, yeah, 97 00:05:09,788 --> 00:05:12,868 Speaker 1: I think that's the idea. I'm perplexed as to why 98 00:05:12,908 --> 00:05:15,828 Speaker 1: we're not talking about them or what we're Listen, there's 99 00:05:15,868 --> 00:05:17,988 Speaker 1: a lot of Peter, you've been on this yourself a 100 00:05:17,988 --> 00:05:20,708 Speaker 1: lot of bad football this year. You, I mean, basically, 101 00:05:20,788 --> 00:05:24,428 Speaker 1: Peter completely disrespected the sport and the product is and 102 00:05:27,268 --> 00:05:29,348 Speaker 1: they're like, but the marching of victory is it's because 103 00:05:29,388 --> 00:05:34,028 Speaker 1: it's ninety six anyway. The Vikings scoring honestly is down. 104 00:05:34,068 --> 00:05:37,068 Speaker 1: I read in a SAT thirty three points in average. 105 00:05:37,188 --> 00:05:46,188 Speaker 1: That's perplexing. You're flexing. What you're saying, Peter is all right, 106 00:05:46,188 --> 00:05:49,308 Speaker 1: we got here we go. Guys. The Broncos ownership group 107 00:05:49,908 --> 00:05:52,828 Speaker 1: was in attendance for Monday Night football, but that's not 108 00:05:52,908 --> 00:05:55,748 Speaker 1: the reason this video is getting traction online. The women 109 00:05:55,748 --> 00:06:00,148 Speaker 1: in the background, they got shopsticks and they're eating susy 110 00:06:00,348 --> 00:06:02,628 Speaker 1: at the game, just housing it. I don't know if 111 00:06:02,628 --> 00:06:04,588 Speaker 1: there's a sabi or if we dip it in the 112 00:06:04,588 --> 00:06:07,708 Speaker 1: soy sauce. So here we go. Who's gonna be first 113 00:06:07,868 --> 00:06:12,108 Speaker 1: on flex or perplexed? Peter flex or perplex eating sushi 114 00:06:12,388 --> 00:06:15,908 Speaker 1: at an NFL game? Flex flax, credible, flex, eat whatever 115 00:06:15,988 --> 00:06:18,188 Speaker 1: you want and if they're gonna serve it, you eat it. 116 00:06:18,188 --> 00:06:20,188 Speaker 1: And Lewis Hamilton's they don't even mention that, Like the 117 00:06:20,228 --> 00:06:23,028 Speaker 1: world's greatest F one driver is right there, and look 118 00:06:23,028 --> 00:06:27,388 Speaker 1: at these ladies eating sushi. Was at the game for 119 00:06:27,548 --> 00:06:31,748 Speaker 1: staffing off. Come at it, push push, push sushi. It's 120 00:06:31,748 --> 00:06:34,108 Speaker 1: delicious and if they're gonna serve it, of course, you know, 121 00:06:34,228 --> 00:06:36,228 Speaker 1: and not averready to have a you know, a corn 122 00:06:36,268 --> 00:06:38,428 Speaker 1: dog or a hot pretzel. That'd be like proved their football. 123 00:06:38,508 --> 00:06:41,388 Speaker 1: Any concerned about the quality of the fish. It's another thing. 124 00:06:41,388 --> 00:06:48,068 Speaker 1: I'm a guy who's had sushi from port Authority Jamie 125 00:06:48,508 --> 00:06:53,068 Speaker 1: flex or flex ohy, because I like to eat.

I'm going flex. 127 00:06:55,788 --> 00:06:59,348 Speaker 1: The ownership group bought the Broncos for four and a 128 00:06:59,388 --> 00:07:03,228 Speaker 1: half billion dollars. I think the quality of the sushi 129 00:07:03,348 --> 00:07:05,708 Speaker 1: is just gonna be okay. You know, it's gonna be 130 00:07:06,108 --> 00:07:09,668 Speaker 1: standard to standard plus if hey, yeah, what is it, 131 00:07:09,708 --> 00:07:14,548 Speaker 1: Kyle Later, it's it's it's it's every wrapped in seaweed. 132 00:07:14,588 --> 00:07:16,508 Speaker 1: It's not an inside out roll. It's not a hand 133 00:07:16,588 --> 00:07:19,188 Speaker 1: roll like and they have. I mean, that's a flex 134 00:07:19,348 --> 00:07:22,028 Speaker 1: eat whatever you want. I agree at a game. The 135 00:07:22,028 --> 00:07:24,748 Speaker 1: fact that you're sitting behind Lewis Hamilton, congratulations, that's a 136 00:07:24,748 --> 00:07:27,628 Speaker 1: flex in and of itself. And uh yeah, I think 137 00:07:27,628 --> 00:07:30,068 Speaker 1: your sushi quality is gonna be just fine. Um in 138 00:07:30,108 --> 00:07:36,548 Speaker 1: your ownership group.

I want to feel like everybody at 147 00:07:59,868 --> 00:08:04,028 Speaker 1: the game, we're one large community. No sushi, all of 148 00:08:04,108 --> 00:08:06,188 Speaker 1: the foods. I don't want to sushi. Keep it Okay. 149 00:08:06,228 --> 00:08:08,708 Speaker 1: It depends where it is. If this was a game 150 00:08:08,828 --> 00:08:11,948 Speaker 1: like at the Broncos, like there's not an ocean within 151 00:08:12,068 --> 00:08:17,788 Speaker 1: like a thousand miles, it's an ownership group, box the Plinty. 152 00:08:17,908 --> 00:08:20,268 Speaker 1: The game was played in Los Angeles, I'm fine with that.

Jamie and I 155 00:08:27,268 --> 00:08:28,988 Speaker 1: have talked about this. I went to a game once, 156 00:08:29,028 --> 00:08:32,148 Speaker 1: said Levi Stadium, and like, I ordered with my phone 157 00:08:32,188 --> 00:08:34,668 Speaker 1: a glass of wine. To my seats. You can do that. 158 00:08:34,748 --> 00:08:38,228 Speaker 1: Like this whole image of like Bob Swirsky super fans 159 00:08:38,228 --> 00:08:41,068 Speaker 1: stuff in his face like that is a yesteryear thing. 160 00:08:41,388 --> 00:08:44,668 Speaker 1: I'm okay with it. I would go with a rainbow roll. 161 00:08:44,748 --> 00:08:47,308 Speaker 1: Maybe I would eat anything I am. This is a massive, 162 00:08:47,668 --> 00:08:50,548 Speaker 1: massive flex and the fact that we are running the 163 00:08:50,548 --> 00:08:52,828 Speaker 1: clip and not even showing or talking about Lewis Hamilton 164 00:08:53,148 --> 00:08:54,628 Speaker 1: is the best part of it.

They're playing Thursday night 195 00:10:22,068 --> 00:10:24,908 Speaker 1: against the Saints, and that offense is going to get 196 00:10:24,948 --> 00:10:28,948 Speaker 1: a massive boosts with a return of DeAndre Hopkins, who 197 00:10:28,988 --> 00:10:31,908 Speaker 1: had just finished serving his six game suspension. Now, he 198 00:10:32,028 --> 00:10:35,428 Speaker 1: is not expected to be on any sort of pitch count, 199 00:10:35,748 --> 00:10:39,748 Speaker 1: but he is expected, in his opinion, to contribute, even 200 00:10:39,788 --> 00:10:44,228 Speaker 1: if it's not catching the ball. Well. I mean, I 201 00:10:44,228 --> 00:10:46,268 Speaker 1: think last year it was a great example of that. 202 00:10:46,828 --> 00:10:49,508 Speaker 1: I was going eight oh and you know, me not 203 00:10:49,588 --> 00:10:52,508 Speaker 1: having a game over a hundred yards. A lot of 204 00:10:52,508 --> 00:10:54,508 Speaker 1: people look at it as a down year for someone 205 00:10:54,588 --> 00:10:57,068 Speaker 1: like myself, but I look at that as a productive 206 00:10:57,148 --> 00:10:59,548 Speaker 1: year because I got a lot of guys open, and 207 00:10:59,708 --> 00:11:03,348 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's more it goes into a football game, 208 00:11:03,428 --> 00:11:06,708 Speaker 1: and you know, fantasy that so yards, you know, I'm 209 00:11:06,748 --> 00:11:10,148 Speaker 1: able to help create other mismatches on the field, and 210 00:11:10,188 --> 00:11:13,108 Speaker 1: so I think, you know, my presents out there, you know, 211 00:11:13,748 --> 00:11:15,748 Speaker 1: you know dictates that. And I think lash was a 212 00:11:15,748 --> 00:11:21,068 Speaker 1: great example of the absolutely although those fantasy points they 213 00:11:21,108 --> 00:11:24,388 Speaker 1: help DeAndre, they do. As for the Saints receivers, Chris 214 00:11:24,388 --> 00:11:27,508 Speaker 1: Saliva expected to be back Thursday night. He says he's 215 00:11:27,508 --> 00:11:30,748 Speaker 1: one hundred percent and raid to get back at it.

New Orleans can 218 00:11:37,108 --> 00:11:40,828 Speaker 1: use him as Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry. We're both 219 00:11:40,828 --> 00:11:45,748 Speaker 1: listed as dnps on Tuesday, and in Pittsburgh, quarterback Kenny 220 00:11:45,828 --> 00:11:49,828 Speaker 1: Pickett is in the NFL's concussion protocol, but isn't expected 221 00:11:49,868 --> 00:11:52,428 Speaker 1: to be limited at practice this week.

Greg take us behind the scenes and how 270 00:14:41,308 --> 00:14:43,268 Speaker 1: much this meant to TJ. Yeah. So at the beginning 271 00:14:43,308 --> 00:14:45,948 Speaker 1: of the year, For those who don't know, TJ, last summer, 272 00:14:46,068 --> 00:14:48,948 Speaker 1: at eight years old, underwent a heart transplant. He had 273 00:14:49,228 --> 00:14:52,388 Speaker 1: four open heart surgeries throughout the course of his life, 274 00:14:51,788 --> 00:14:55,388 Speaker 1: the fourth one being a full heart transplant just last summer. 275 00:14:55,428 --> 00:14:57,868 Speaker 1: So he's now ten. And but the start of the season, 276 00:14:57,908 --> 00:14:59,748 Speaker 1: I let all three of my kids pick a game 277 00:14:59,748 --> 00:15:01,348 Speaker 1: and they can come with me. So in week ten, 278 00:15:01,468 --> 00:15:03,428 Speaker 1: we were originally scheduled to go to Green Bay. And 279 00:15:03,428 --> 00:15:05,748 Speaker 1: then last week, last this minute, the schedule got flipped 280 00:15:05,788 --> 00:15:07,548 Speaker 1: and they sent us to Green Bay instead of were 281 00:15:07,548 --> 00:15:10,028 Speaker 1: originally supposed to go to Pittsburgh. So he's like, hey, Dad, 282 00:15:10,028 --> 00:15:11,748 Speaker 1: I have no sports this weekend. Can I just move 283 00:15:11,828 --> 00:15:13,668 Speaker 1: the trip up? You know, won't be quite as cold whatever. 284 00:15:13,708 --> 00:15:15,148 Speaker 1: So I was like, yeah, it's the perfect week to 285 00:15:15,148 --> 00:15:16,948 Speaker 1: come with me, and he's like, Dad, I would love 286 00:15:17,068 --> 00:15:18,748 Speaker 1: And he picked Green Bay because he wanted to meet 287 00:15:18,748 --> 00:15:22,068 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. So fortunately, Aaron Andrews knows Aaron really well 288 00:15:22,228 --> 00:15:24,628 Speaker 1: and texted him the night before in production meeting, told 289 00:15:24,708 --> 00:15:26,628 Speaker 1: him about TJ, told him why he wanted to come 290 00:15:26,668 --> 00:15:28,748 Speaker 1: to Lambeau, and Aaron was like done deal. So Aaron 291 00:15:28,788 --> 00:15:30,588 Speaker 1: came right out of the tunnel. He came right out, 292 00:15:30,628 --> 00:15:32,588 Speaker 1: he found TJ, came over handed up, throwing him a 293 00:15:32,588 --> 00:15:34,708 Speaker 1: couple of passes. It was a really cool moment. It 294 00:15:34,788 --> 00:15:36,828 Speaker 1: was something just as a dad to see your kid, 295 00:15:36,988 --> 00:15:38,948 Speaker 1: to see another guy take time out. He didn't have 296 00:15:39,028 --> 00:15:40,468 Speaker 1: to do it. No one would have blamed him if 297 00:15:40,508 --> 00:15:42,028 Speaker 1: he'd said, you know, I got to do the pregame 298 00:15:42,068 --> 00:15:44,788 Speaker 1: and whatever, but he immediately said yes, and just as 299 00:15:44,828 --> 00:15:46,868 Speaker 1: a dad to see your kids, you know one, you know, 300 00:15:47,188 --> 00:15:49,508 Speaker 1: big wish come true and just have a great experience 301 00:15:49,548 --> 00:15:51,428 Speaker 1: in a moment there at lambeau Field with one of 302 00:15:51,428 --> 00:15:55,388 Speaker 1: his favorite players.

What do you have to say? Oh, he 306 00:16:02,148 --> 00:16:03,988 Speaker 1: was thrilled. He came home. He had like a cheese 307 00:16:04,068 --> 00:16:07,268 Speaker 1: head on. I mean, he went full landau Field experience. 308 00:16:07,908 --> 00:16:10,988 Speaker 1: He tried his first brought worst at halftime in the booth. 309 00:16:11,028 --> 00:16:13,108 Speaker 1: So I mean he went like full Wisconsin on us 310 00:16:13,228 --> 00:16:15,988 Speaker 1: and it was just a yeah, it was. It was 311 00:16:16,028 --> 00:16:17,828 Speaker 1: a really cool moment for him. It was something that 312 00:16:17,868 --> 00:16:21,548 Speaker 1: he'll always remember. That's awesome. We we love it. And meanwhile, 313 00:16:21,668 --> 00:16:23,988 Speaker 1: if you would indulge us, there was a football game 314 00:16:24,028 --> 00:16:26,428 Speaker 1: that went on that same day. We're here in New York, Greg. 315 00:16:26,508 --> 00:16:29,308 Speaker 1: The Jets and Giants are a story. They're tosted the 316 00:16:29,308 --> 00:16:32,268 Speaker 1: town the Yankees. Sure you saw the Jets that day 317 00:16:32,388 --> 00:16:35,908 Speaker 1: beat the Packers by seventeen points. What do you see 318 00:16:35,908 --> 00:16:38,108 Speaker 1: in this team and how do you explain how they're 319 00:16:38,108 --> 00:16:40,908 Speaker 1: doing it? I think they have a really good combination now, 320 00:16:41,108 --> 00:16:43,228 Speaker 1: you know, preparing for the game, we knew about their 321 00:16:43,308 --> 00:16:45,348 Speaker 1: last couple of draft classes. We knew the three first 322 00:16:45,428 --> 00:16:47,428 Speaker 1: rounders and then the second top of the second rounder. 323 00:16:47,508 --> 00:16:50,548 Speaker 1: They in their minds this last draft class had four 324 00:16:50,588 --> 00:16:52,348 Speaker 1: first rounders for them, the three they took in the 325 00:16:52,388 --> 00:16:54,428 Speaker 1: first and then they traded up early in the second 326 00:16:54,468 --> 00:16:56,508 Speaker 1: for Breeze Hall, the running back. So we knew they 327 00:16:56,548 --> 00:16:58,468 Speaker 1: were talented. We knew the guys that they had added. 328 00:16:58,508 --> 00:17:00,428 Speaker 1: But then when you start talking to Robert Sala and 329 00:17:00,508 --> 00:17:02,588 Speaker 1: you start hearing about Joe Douglas and Rex Hogan and 330 00:17:02,588 --> 00:17:05,228 Speaker 1: the guys in the front office, like they have really 331 00:17:05,268 --> 00:17:08,348 Speaker 1: mastered the idea of building culture and also at the 332 00:17:08,388 --> 00:17:12,188 Speaker 1: same time acquiring high level talent. And right now it 333 00:17:12,228 --> 00:17:14,668 Speaker 1: looks like they're checking all those boxes of a rebuild. 334 00:17:14,708 --> 00:17:17,428 Speaker 1: Whereas you continue to accumulate that channel, you know that talent, 335 00:17:17,668 --> 00:17:20,268 Speaker 1: can you win meaningful games? And we said it at 336 00:17:20,268 --> 00:17:21,948 Speaker 1: the start of the broadcast, you know, this is a 337 00:17:21,948 --> 00:17:24,468 Speaker 1: great measuring stick. You know, everyone was holding it against 338 00:17:24,548 --> 00:17:26,868 Speaker 1: the Jets that they had eaten some backup quarterbacks and 339 00:17:26,948 --> 00:17:29,148 Speaker 1: some day, well they just went into Lambeau and were 340 00:17:29,188 --> 00:17:32,468 Speaker 1: able to beat Aaron Rodgers and the defending you know 341 00:17:32,668 --> 00:17:35,228 Speaker 1: NFC champs who play in the NFC Conference Championship every year, 342 00:17:35,228 --> 00:17:38,388 Speaker 1: so it was pretty impressive. They're young, they're talented. I 343 00:17:38,388 --> 00:17:40,948 Speaker 1: think sala is a stud I think that staff is 344 00:17:40,988 --> 00:17:43,908 Speaker 1: really good. Might get floor of the offensive coordinator going 345 00:17:43,908 --> 00:17:45,508 Speaker 1: against his brother, and it was just a lot of 346 00:17:45,508 --> 00:17:48,228 Speaker 1: really cool storylines. They're talented, they're fun. They played with 347 00:17:48,268 --> 00:17:50,868 Speaker 1: a lot of confidence, and I think the Jets are 348 00:17:50,868 --> 00:17:53,508 Speaker 1: for real talented and fun. Greg, you were both of 349 00:17:53,548 --> 00:17:55,548 Speaker 1: those things. One of the best tight ends to play 350 00:17:55,548 --> 00:17:58,268 Speaker 1: the game. You're rocking the tight end you gear. You'll 351 00:17:58,308 --> 00:18:02,028 Speaker 1: be in San Francisco this Sunday. Chief's forty nine ers 352 00:18:02,308 --> 00:18:05,988 Speaker 1: that tight end position. Travis Kelce George Kittle, two of 353 00:18:06,028 --> 00:18:08,068 Speaker 1: the best in the game right now. Tell us a 354 00:18:08,108 --> 00:18:10,148 Speaker 1: little bit of what you're expecting from this matchup from 355 00:18:10,148 --> 00:18:12,308 Speaker 1: both of these guys. Yeah, when when the schedule came 356 00:18:12,308 --> 00:18:14,348 Speaker 1: out and you know this game was going to be 357 00:18:14,348 --> 00:18:16,108 Speaker 1: on National tight Ends Day, I was fired up the 358 00:18:16,108 --> 00:18:17,828 Speaker 1: fact that I get to call it two buddies of 359 00:18:17,828 --> 00:18:20,908 Speaker 1: mine with with Kelsey and Kittle again founders with up 360 00:18:20,948 --> 00:18:23,628 Speaker 1: tu the three of us, there are two of the 361 00:18:23,668 --> 00:18:26,628 Speaker 1: top guys at the position for the last you know, decade. 362 00:18:26,708 --> 00:18:28,828 Speaker 1: I mean they you know, you look at Kelsey his production. 363 00:18:28,868 --> 00:18:31,628 Speaker 1: When Kelsey's said and done, he might end up being 364 00:18:31,668 --> 00:18:34,228 Speaker 1: the best guy in NFL history. I mean, his consistent 365 00:18:34,228 --> 00:18:37,228 Speaker 1: production year in and year out is just remarkable. And 366 00:18:37,268 --> 00:18:39,708 Speaker 1: then you watch Kittle. I mean, he doesn't always have 367 00:18:39,828 --> 00:18:41,828 Speaker 1: the biggest stat lines, a little bit of a different 368 00:18:41,868 --> 00:18:44,268 Speaker 1: style offense, but he's a run blocker, he's tough, he 369 00:18:44,348 --> 00:18:47,108 Speaker 1: passed protects. I mean, you're gonna be hard pressed to 370 00:18:47,148 --> 00:18:50,188 Speaker 1: find two better guys position, not only in today's NFL, 371 00:18:50,268 --> 00:18:52,708 Speaker 1: but just over the course of the last decade or two. 372 00:18:52,708 --> 00:18:55,588 Speaker 1: These guys are special talents. They're good buddies of mine. 373 00:18:55,588 --> 00:18:57,068 Speaker 1: And the fact that I get to call their game 374 00:18:57,068 --> 00:18:59,628 Speaker 1: on National tight Ends Day this Sunday is pretty cool. Yeah. 375 00:18:59,628 --> 00:19:01,828 Speaker 1: The transformation greg that that position has taken over the 376 00:19:01,908 --> 00:19:05,628 Speaker 1: last twenty thirty years has warranted national holiday. Now it's 377 00:19:05,628 --> 00:19:09,228 Speaker 1: the fourth Sunday in October as National tight End Day. You, 378 00:19:09,268 --> 00:19:12,468 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, George Kittle, you were at tight End University 379 00:19:12,508 --> 00:19:14,748 Speaker 1: this past summer. Let's take a look at Kelsey and 380 00:19:14,748 --> 00:19:17,348 Speaker 1: yourself sharing wisdom with some fellow tight ends. Ben of 381 00:19:17,468 --> 00:19:20,108 Speaker 1: a Square cut and then top end coming back down 382 00:19:20,148 --> 00:19:22,748 Speaker 1: the horn ahead talk on the work. The biggest thing 383 00:19:22,748 --> 00:19:24,188 Speaker 1: for me is that we were talking about the anatomy 384 00:19:24,188 --> 00:19:28,188 Speaker 1: of the body. I'm big on up understanding how well 385 00:19:28,308 --> 00:19:31,868 Speaker 1: you can move. So it's it's not necessarily working as 386 00:19:31,868 --> 00:19:35,548 Speaker 1: fast as you can, it's just working with purposeful movement quickly. 387 00:19:35,908 --> 00:19:37,668 Speaker 1: What was the what was that event like to take 388 00:19:37,708 --> 00:19:40,468 Speaker 1: pride in the position that you have cultivated such a 389 00:19:40,508 --> 00:19:43,628 Speaker 1: fantastic transformation of Yeah, I mean to see an event 390 00:19:43,668 --> 00:19:46,228 Speaker 1: that two years ago started just from a random group 391 00:19:46,268 --> 00:19:49,148 Speaker 1: text about working out together in Nashville after I retired 392 00:19:49,148 --> 00:19:52,108 Speaker 1: to grow towards last year we hosted at Vanderbilt. They 393 00:19:52,108 --> 00:19:54,388 Speaker 1: were awesome that we had eighty five NFL tight ends 394 00:19:54,388 --> 00:19:56,588 Speaker 1: from all across the country come in together for about 395 00:19:56,588 --> 00:19:58,308 Speaker 1: two and a half days. As you saw there, we 396 00:19:58,348 --> 00:20:00,588 Speaker 1: did fieldwork, we did a lot of classroom work. Again 397 00:20:00,708 --> 00:20:02,788 Speaker 1: just we think this year, in our third year, we're 398 00:20:02,788 --> 00:20:05,948 Speaker 1: coming back again. It'll be this. Sharman came back, which 399 00:20:05,988 --> 00:20:08,188 Speaker 1: we were thankful. Obviously they take care of tight ends, 400 00:20:08,188 --> 00:20:10,188 Speaker 1: you get it, you know, for almost a hundred tight 401 00:20:10,268 --> 00:20:12,308 Speaker 1: ends across to be able to come in and learn 402 00:20:12,348 --> 00:20:14,028 Speaker 1: from each other and learn from some of the greats. 403 00:20:14,228 --> 00:20:17,068 Speaker 1: Is just a really cool event that has really grown 404 00:20:17,108 --> 00:20:18,828 Speaker 1: over just the last couple of years. You know, I 405 00:20:19,188 --> 00:20:20,988 Speaker 1: don't have the authority to do this, but I think 406 00:20:21,268 --> 00:20:25,108 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football Live on remote from tight End University 407 00:20:25,188 --> 00:20:27,668 Speaker 1: do it.

When you were reading his intro 423 00:21:32,108 --> 00:21:34,988 Speaker 1: about his stats about I didn't know that it was 424 00:21:35,588 --> 00:21:39,948 Speaker 1: my receptions.

There's 435 00:22:01,588 --> 00:22:03,588 Speaker 1: somebody watching had no idea what they were gonna do 436 00:22:03,668 --> 00:22:06,468 Speaker 1: for Halloween, and you just have it's it, that's it. 437 00:22:06,948 --> 00:22:09,228 Speaker 1: Lets go all right until then it's time for the 438 00:22:09,268 --> 00:22:12,228 Speaker 1: leave Black. We're gonna start in Green Bank. The Packers 439 00:22:12,268 --> 00:22:15,548 Speaker 1: lost the Jets on Sunday. That makes two losses in 440 00:22:15,588 --> 00:22:18,348 Speaker 1: a row to two teams from New York. On the 441 00:22:18,348 --> 00:22:21,588 Speaker 1: Paton Macify Show yesterday, Aaron Rodgers was asked, once the 442 00:22:21,708 --> 00:22:24,548 Speaker 1: dust settled on week six, does he still think that 443 00:22:24,628 --> 00:22:26,988 Speaker 1: they are in a good spot with a three and 444 00:22:27,068 --> 00:22:30,588 Speaker 1: three record. Well, I knew where we were at and 445 00:22:30,948 --> 00:22:33,828 Speaker 1: obviously followed the league that I played, so I knew, 446 00:22:34,028 --> 00:22:36,228 Speaker 1: you know, with a loss by Tampa they were they 447 00:22:36,228 --> 00:22:39,348 Speaker 1: were to three and three in LA beating Carolina. I 448 00:22:39,388 --> 00:22:41,188 Speaker 1: believe it went to three and three in San fran 449 00:22:41,468 --> 00:22:43,828 Speaker 1: I got beat by Atlanta boat teams to three and three, 450 00:22:44,068 --> 00:22:46,388 Speaker 1: so I knew, I knew where we stood. Of course, 451 00:22:49,028 --> 00:22:51,428 Speaker 1: so Rogers just listened about half of them. But here 452 00:22:51,428 --> 00:22:55,268 Speaker 1: are the ten teams with a five hundred record entering 453 00:22:55,308 --> 00:22:57,868 Speaker 1: week seven. So when you take a look at this list, 454 00:22:58,908 --> 00:23:00,388 Speaker 1: three and three teams, so you have to pick the 455 00:23:00,428 --> 00:23:04,668 Speaker 1: most interesting one. To you right now, that can be good, interesting, bad, interesting. 456 00:23:04,708 --> 00:23:06,908 Speaker 1: Can't believe they're actually they are interesting? What do you think? 457 00:23:07,028 --> 00:23:08,908 Speaker 1: I think Green Bay is where I'm starting, and I 458 00:23:08,948 --> 00:23:11,628 Speaker 1: think that that, to me is a perplexing situation because 459 00:23:11,668 --> 00:23:14,028 Speaker 1: of the way they've not only won some of these games, 460 00:23:14,028 --> 00:23:16,828 Speaker 1: that's including that Patriots game against Bailey Zappy where we 461 00:23:16,868 --> 00:23:20,068 Speaker 1: saw almost as a would you say, like a sneak 462 00:23:20,068 --> 00:23:22,588 Speaker 1: peek when the field goal goes through you see the 463 00:23:22,708 --> 00:23:26,388 Speaker 1: floor like this relief, and then they lose the next 464 00:23:26,388 --> 00:23:29,148 Speaker 1: two weeks to the Giants inexplicably when they're up fourteen, 465 00:23:29,228 --> 00:23:31,148 Speaker 1: and then the Jets just getting the doors blown off 466 00:23:31,148 --> 00:23:33,388 Speaker 1: in Lambeau, and then Rogers after the game said this, 467 00:23:33,468 --> 00:23:35,348 Speaker 1: and we've heard a lot of Aaron Rodgers soundbites, this 468 00:23:35,388 --> 00:23:36,988 Speaker 1: one was interesting, so I think it might have opened 469 00:23:36,988 --> 00:23:39,068 Speaker 1: the door and some other thoughts of what's going on there. 470 00:23:40,188 --> 00:23:42,228 Speaker 1: We gotta be realistic about where we're at. We played 471 00:23:42,268 --> 00:23:44,788 Speaker 1: a couple subpark games in the the last two so we 472 00:23:44,868 --> 00:23:48,548 Speaker 1: got to play better, but bobbly only if people are 473 00:23:48,548 --> 00:23:51,308 Speaker 1: breaking rank, you know. I think it'll be interesting to 474 00:23:51,468 --> 00:23:53,788 Speaker 1: look at the comments from all of our guys and 475 00:23:53,908 --> 00:23:56,988 Speaker 1: coaches and hopefully we stick together. That's the important thing. 476 00:23:57,308 --> 00:23:59,668 Speaker 1: But until I see his breaking ranks, I'm not gonna 477 00:23:59,668 --> 00:24:03,628 Speaker 1: say there's any wobbliness going on. So the reporter asked them, 478 00:24:03,708 --> 00:24:06,028 Speaker 1: the things feel wobbly, and that was his response. Breaking 479 00:24:06,068 --> 00:24:08,748 Speaker 1: ranks is a loaded term. Breaking ranks, of course, has 480 00:24:08,788 --> 00:24:11,668 Speaker 1: a military background of people talking out of term, people 481 00:24:11,748 --> 00:24:13,828 Speaker 1: leaking things, and Rogers almost was like, I'm gonna wait 482 00:24:13,828 --> 00:24:15,428 Speaker 1: a minute, and I'm going to see how this week 483 00:24:15,468 --> 00:24:17,668 Speaker 1: goes because the players, and a lot of them very young, 484 00:24:17,828 --> 00:24:20,948 Speaker 1: are gonna get questions at the locker and who's gonna 485 00:24:20,948 --> 00:24:22,988 Speaker 1: speak out, who's gonna say something, or are we gonna 486 00:24:23,028 --> 00:24:25,068 Speaker 1: keep this thing together? The Packers are interesting to me, 487 00:24:25,268 --> 00:24:27,468 Speaker 1: not because of Rogers or a salary, or like how 488 00:24:27,468 --> 00:24:29,388 Speaker 1: the offense looks and defense looks, because they're at a 489 00:24:29,388 --> 00:24:32,028 Speaker 1: crossroads right now. They are three and three, and it's 490 00:24:32,028 --> 00:24:34,828 Speaker 1: almost like Rogers is back here sitting and waiting and 491 00:24:34,868 --> 00:24:36,268 Speaker 1: seeing how is this going to play out. If they 492 00:24:36,268 --> 00:24:39,348 Speaker 1: can stay together, if they can galvanize, if they can 493 00:24:39,548 --> 00:24:42,788 Speaker 1: find a way to start growing and learning and developing 494 00:24:42,828 --> 00:24:44,348 Speaker 1: to be the team that we thought they would be, 495 00:24:44,468 --> 00:24:46,308 Speaker 1: then they could be okay in the NFC. But if 496 00:24:46,348 --> 00:24:49,828 Speaker 1: they start breaking rank, or if Rogers here's some things 497 00:24:49,868 --> 00:24:52,628 Speaker 1: he doesn't like, this can go south. I find this 498 00:24:52,708 --> 00:24:54,548 Speaker 1: team fascinating right now. Rogers, of course, one of the 499 00:24:54,588 --> 00:24:56,988 Speaker 1: most intriguing figures in our game. And if things are 500 00:24:56,988 --> 00:25:00,148 Speaker 1: going great, always intriguing. If things are not going great, 501 00:25:00,428 --> 00:25:04,308 Speaker 1: that's when things get really intriguing. Is it breaking rank 502 00:25:04,628 --> 00:25:06,428 Speaker 1: to say no one should break ranks? I mean, that's 503 00:25:06,508 --> 00:25:09,268 Speaker 1: kind of an interesting quote because you're hinting at possibility 504 00:25:09,268 --> 00:25:12,028 Speaker 1: of someone breaking rank. He means, who's going to go 505 00:25:12,028 --> 00:25:13,788 Speaker 1: on a podcast a few days sent out and say 506 00:25:13,828 --> 00:25:16,108 Speaker 1: we're losing the locker room? And I guess no one has, 507 00:25:16,108 --> 00:25:17,908 Speaker 1: and we're sitting here on Wednesday. I circle back to 508 00:25:17,948 --> 00:25:19,868 Speaker 1: that Chow You're Alexander thing that he said after the 509 00:25:19,868 --> 00:25:21,668 Speaker 1: game in London, which is I'm not nervous that I 510 00:25:21,708 --> 00:25:24,028 Speaker 1: lost to the Giants, but if we lose to the Jets, 511 00:25:24,068 --> 00:25:25,708 Speaker 1: and then Aaron Rodgers said, I don't like that, and 512 00:25:25,708 --> 00:25:27,468 Speaker 1: now he's talking about breaking ranks. I do feel like 513 00:25:27,508 --> 00:25:29,748 Speaker 1: they're all interconnected. Yeah, it's different a team that has 514 00:25:29,788 --> 00:25:32,548 Speaker 1: done so much winning, especially since La Flora has been there, 515 00:25:32,748 --> 00:25:35,508 Speaker 1: when stuff cons starts to go south, no one's kind 516 00:25:35,508 --> 00:25:37,908 Speaker 1: of used to that territory. So you want to see 517 00:25:37,908 --> 00:25:40,108 Speaker 1: how guys are reacting. You look at those lists of 518 00:25:40,148 --> 00:25:42,428 Speaker 1: the ten teams. I mean, you could have picked any 519 00:25:42,468 --> 00:25:44,428 Speaker 1: one of those teams lists, but for me, I went 520 00:25:44,428 --> 00:25:46,708 Speaker 1: with the Baltimore Ravens, and you look at the way 521 00:25:46,708 --> 00:25:49,708 Speaker 1: they've lost games, They've been winning throughout most of their games. 522 00:25:49,708 --> 00:25:50,908 Speaker 1: You look at I want to show you guys a 523 00:25:50,988 --> 00:25:53,108 Speaker 1: full screen of what they're doing. The first three quarters 524 00:25:53,268 --> 00:25:55,828 Speaker 1: compared to what they're doing in the fourth quarter. First 525 00:25:55,828 --> 00:25:59,788 Speaker 1: three quarters a plus fifty nine point differential, fourth quarter 526 00:26:00,188 --> 00:26:01,748 Speaker 1: minus forty two. And I know some of you guys 527 00:26:01,748 --> 00:26:04,388 Speaker 1: are saying, obviously that Dolphins game, the Dolphins put up 528 00:26:04,468 --> 00:26:06,588 Speaker 1: twenty eight points to the Ravens three. But even if 529 00:26:06,628 --> 00:26:09,068 Speaker 1: you remove that game, they're still thirty six points to 530 00:26:09,188 --> 00:26:11,668 Speaker 1: opponents to the nineteen of the Ravens if you remove 531 00:26:11,748 --> 00:26:15,508 Speaker 1: the Dolphins game. For whatever reason, they're not closing out games. 532 00:26:15,668 --> 00:26:18,108 Speaker 1: The defense has given up players giving up touchdowns in 533 00:26:18,188 --> 00:26:21,668 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Even games they've won, they've been outscored 534 00:26:21,668 --> 00:26:24,068 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, and on top of that, they're 535 00:26:24,108 --> 00:26:27,268 Speaker 1: making the mistake to lose the game. We watched Lamar 536 00:26:27,348 --> 00:26:30,708 Speaker 1: Jackson throw interceptions in the fourth quarter. We watched Buffalo 537 00:26:31,068 --> 00:26:32,868 Speaker 1: yesterday went four and on fourth down and threw it 538 00:26:32,948 --> 00:26:34,948 Speaker 1: picked the boyard I gets bumped in the air. Then 539 00:26:35,028 --> 00:26:37,708 Speaker 1: they go for poorer intercepts that one. Then we watched 540 00:26:37,748 --> 00:26:39,868 Speaker 1: the Giants game this past week and it's just like 541 00:26:40,028 --> 00:26:44,028 Speaker 1: it's a back and forth game. Bad snap, he gets 542 00:26:44,028 --> 00:26:45,708 Speaker 1: the ball, I'll just throw it out of bounce. You'll 543 00:26:45,748 --> 00:26:48,988 Speaker 1: get another chance. Julian Love intercepts which leads to the 544 00:26:49,188 --> 00:26:52,068 Speaker 1: Saint Quon Barkley touchdown. They lose that game. So there's 545 00:26:52,108 --> 00:26:55,108 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens team. We called their defense out a few 546 00:26:55,148 --> 00:26:57,868 Speaker 1: weeks ago. They stepped up verse Cincinnati. They're playing some 547 00:26:57,948 --> 00:27:00,668 Speaker 1: good football, they're not finishing games, and that three and 548 00:27:00,748 --> 00:27:03,668 Speaker 1: three record could easily be five and one at this point. 549 00:27:03,788 --> 00:27:05,908 Speaker 1: So for me, I'm interested to see how they're gonna 550 00:27:05,948 --> 00:27:08,388 Speaker 1: go where they go from here. To me, that full 551 00:27:08,388 --> 00:27:11,108 Speaker 1: screen of the teams and this question has everything to 552 00:27:11,108 --> 00:27:13,588 Speaker 1: do with intonation and how you say this, like, Oh, 553 00:27:13,628 --> 00:27:17,348 Speaker 1: the Packers, they're three and three. That's interesting. Oh, the Ravens, 554 00:27:17,388 --> 00:27:20,268 Speaker 1: that's interesting to me. The Falcons, Oh that's interesting, Like, oh, 555 00:27:20,548 --> 00:27:23,428 Speaker 1: three and three, Well, do not see that coming? The Falcons? 556 00:27:23,428 --> 00:27:25,548 Speaker 1: Three and three? Marcus Mariota, are you having a bit 557 00:27:25,588 --> 00:27:29,628 Speaker 1: of a renaissance? I appreciate this about you. It's we're trying, man, 558 00:27:29,748 --> 00:27:31,668 Speaker 1: we believe in you. I was watching that game and 559 00:27:31,708 --> 00:27:34,388 Speaker 1: I heard the broadcaster say, like, Marcus Mariota perfect so 560 00:27:34,388 --> 00:27:36,068 Speaker 1: far today, and I was like, I'm sorry, what did 561 00:27:36,148 --> 00:27:37,788 Speaker 1: he just say? I had to turn around look at 562 00:27:37,828 --> 00:27:41,148 Speaker 1: that stat. Yeah, he had a solid game to beat 563 00:27:41,148 --> 00:27:43,228 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. This weekend twenty eight fourteen. But 564 00:27:43,268 --> 00:27:45,548 Speaker 1: what I love the most is that the Falcons ran 565 00:27:45,628 --> 00:27:48,668 Speaker 1: the ball forty times one hundred and sixty eight yards. 566 00:27:48,868 --> 00:27:51,668 Speaker 1: That's how you beat some teams that maybe you weren't 567 00:27:51,668 --> 00:27:53,908 Speaker 1: expected to beat coming into this season. The wins that 568 00:27:53,948 --> 00:27:56,668 Speaker 1: they have had, frankly, have been such a pleasant surprise 569 00:27:56,788 --> 00:27:58,988 Speaker 1: against the Seahawks, against the Browns of fort nine ers. 570 00:27:59,028 --> 00:28:01,268 Speaker 1: They have a tough one this weekend to go to 571 00:28:01,268 --> 00:28:03,428 Speaker 1: Cincinnati and try to beat them. But then this is 572 00:28:03,428 --> 00:28:06,188 Speaker 1: where it's key. Play the Panthers twice in a three 573 00:28:06,228 --> 00:28:09,428 Speaker 1: week span, in a divisional situation that is a little 574 00:28:09,468 --> 00:28:11,948 Speaker 1: bit wide open, they could take ownership of something can 575 00:28:11,988 --> 00:28:16,308 Speaker 1: become very interesting. Yeah, and I actually I think we 576 00:28:16,388 --> 00:28:19,308 Speaker 1: talked about this. I think that that's the most interesting 577 00:28:19,348 --> 00:28:22,788 Speaker 1: game of the week. Yeah, Falcons Bengals at the one 578 00:28:22,828 --> 00:28:26,828 Speaker 1: o'clock kickoff. It's just their storylines, and you know, there's 579 00:28:26,828 --> 00:28:29,188 Speaker 1: not exactly gems other places. But I like that game 580 00:28:29,228 --> 00:28:31,228 Speaker 1: a lot, and yet when I look at that list 581 00:28:31,228 --> 00:28:33,748 Speaker 1: of three and three teams, it is an instant choice 582 00:28:33,788 --> 00:28:35,548 Speaker 1: for me. By far. The most I think is the 583 00:28:35,588 --> 00:28:38,948 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. For a lot of reasons, they're the strangest 584 00:28:38,948 --> 00:28:41,228 Speaker 1: three and three and the closest you can come to 585 00:28:41,268 --> 00:28:43,388 Speaker 1: give him an asterisk to three and three because they 586 00:28:43,428 --> 00:28:46,708 Speaker 1: were three and oh they were the biggest story of September. 587 00:28:46,828 --> 00:28:49,028 Speaker 1: It wasn't the Giants, it wasn't the Jets, it was 588 00:28:49,068 --> 00:28:51,908 Speaker 1: the Mike McDaniel Dolphins. And then we had just this 589 00:28:52,028 --> 00:28:54,548 Speaker 1: terrible thing happened with Tuah while we were in London 590 00:28:54,548 --> 00:28:56,868 Speaker 1: and they're playing the Bengals and Tuah leaves the game 591 00:28:56,908 --> 00:28:58,948 Speaker 1: and we haven't seen them since. They lose the game 592 00:28:58,988 --> 00:29:01,388 Speaker 1: and they haven't won since. And now two US coming 593 00:29:01,428 --> 00:29:03,868 Speaker 1: back and they're playing Pittsburgh and the TWA thing is 594 00:29:03,908 --> 00:29:06,348 Speaker 1: going to re start. So was it the two thing, 595 00:29:06,468 --> 00:29:09,068 Speaker 1: wasn't the McDaniel thing. Then there's this other separate issue 596 00:29:09,148 --> 00:29:10,948 Speaker 1: we need to get into the ping pong topic. All right, 597 00:29:10,988 --> 00:29:13,708 Speaker 1: So way back on the twelfth, I guess wasn't that 598 00:29:13,748 --> 00:29:16,468 Speaker 1: long ago. There's a ping pong table in the in 599 00:29:16,508 --> 00:29:18,788 Speaker 1: the locker room as teams will have, and you play 600 00:29:18,828 --> 00:29:21,028 Speaker 1: and it's bonding and stuff like that. But then coach 601 00:29:21,108 --> 00:29:24,628 Speaker 1: McDaniel said, no, there's been a change Tyreek, that there 602 00:29:24,628 --> 00:29:27,068 Speaker 1: should be a change in leadership. We remove the ping 603 00:29:27,108 --> 00:29:30,428 Speaker 1: pong tables just all a ball. No, that's not what happened. 604 00:29:30,748 --> 00:29:34,908 Speaker 1: Show the tweet. Tyreek says, on the contrary, not only 605 00:29:34,948 --> 00:29:36,708 Speaker 1: was there not removing it, this isn't from a journalist. 606 00:29:36,948 --> 00:29:38,748 Speaker 1: The real reason being the table's gone is Tyreek is 607 00:29:38,748 --> 00:29:42,148 Speaker 1: working at getting a new custom design Dolphin's table to 608 00:29:42,188 --> 00:29:43,948 Speaker 1: replace it. Said, the old one have gotten bent. The 609 00:29:43,948 --> 00:29:46,628 Speaker 1: player tournament is still on, according to Hill, so I'm 610 00:29:46,668 --> 00:29:50,748 Speaker 1: just gonna I'm gonna challenge the certainty hear of this clip, 611 00:29:50,748 --> 00:29:54,108 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go to another Mike McDaniel clip. I 612 00:29:54,148 --> 00:29:56,548 Speaker 1: really am I to live on the edge. Then Mike 613 00:29:56,628 --> 00:30:03,228 Speaker 1: mcdanel says this in response, I'll always defer. Listen, Okay, 614 00:30:03,348 --> 00:30:06,588 Speaker 1: it's the player's lock room and if they give it, 615 00:30:06,948 --> 00:30:09,188 Speaker 1: they can take it the way and they can regive it. 616 00:30:10,588 --> 00:30:13,148 Speaker 1: All right, Can we all butt this together because we 617 00:30:13,188 --> 00:30:15,868 Speaker 1: have some technically take the ping pong table out, and 618 00:30:16,148 --> 00:30:18,508 Speaker 1: I was like, I respect it, and that's leadership. Tyreeks 619 00:30:18,548 --> 00:30:20,948 Speaker 1: like taking it out. I'm pimping it out. I'm making 620 00:30:20,948 --> 00:30:23,868 Speaker 1: it cooler. It's back. But Dan says, like I said, 621 00:30:24,428 --> 00:30:26,828 Speaker 1: it should be in there because the leaders have said so, 622 00:30:26,948 --> 00:30:30,188 Speaker 1: a little uncertainty, but here's the story most important to 623 00:30:30,348 --> 00:30:33,348 Speaker 1: us coming back ping pong table apparently with logo and 624 00:30:33,428 --> 00:30:36,348 Speaker 1: non bents. Can we give so September is coming back. 625 00:30:36,388 --> 00:30:39,508 Speaker 1: We're gonna regive it and Receeptember. I and I think 626 00:30:39,508 --> 00:30:42,028 Speaker 1: the Dolphins will be coming back. And look, wasn't the 627 00:30:42,108 --> 00:30:44,828 Speaker 1: question what's most interesting the last ninety seconds of the show? 628 00:30:44,868 --> 00:30:48,468 Speaker 1: But pretty interesting? Great, but interesting? And I think that's 629 00:30:48,748 --> 00:30:52,588 Speaker 1: how you say it's interesting. Okay, Kyle, that was interesting. 630 00:30:52,628 --> 00:30:57,348 Speaker 1: All right, we have formal All American quarterback. But more importantly, 631 00:30:57,468 --> 00:31:03,308 Speaker 1: friend of our show, Ryan Leeve, welcome to here. What 632 00:31:03,508 --> 00:31:06,468 Speaker 1: good morning, Good morning everybody. You'll be calling a Thursday 633 00:31:06,588 --> 00:31:09,748 Speaker 1: night game between the Saints and the Cardinals for Westwood 634 00:31:09,748 --> 00:31:13,028 Speaker 1: one Radio. More importantly, let's get into this Cardinals offense. 635 00:31:13,108 --> 00:31:16,228 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, he's getting DeAndre Hopkins back. They just traded 636 00:31:16,268 --> 00:31:19,428 Speaker 1: for Robbie Anderson. What can these two guys do when 637 00:31:19,468 --> 00:31:21,588 Speaker 1: they get into mix to help this offense out? Well, 638 00:31:21,588 --> 00:31:25,748 Speaker 1: you hope a lot, because this offense has been awful. Right. 639 00:31:25,828 --> 00:31:27,828 Speaker 1: They're a team a year ago that was the last 640 00:31:27,948 --> 00:31:31,068 Speaker 1: undefeated team. They had a terrible showing in that playoff game. 641 00:31:31,108 --> 00:31:34,428 Speaker 1: They extended both the head coach as well as Kyler Murray, 642 00:31:34,628 --> 00:31:36,908 Speaker 1: and they have just been a nimick on offense. And 643 00:31:37,188 --> 00:31:39,308 Speaker 1: I can't quite put my finger on it other than 644 00:31:39,788 --> 00:31:41,588 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's kind of just trying to do his own 645 00:31:41,588 --> 00:31:44,148 Speaker 1: thing and Cliff Kingsbury has been found out a little bit. 646 00:31:44,308 --> 00:31:47,428 Speaker 1: You bring back DeAndre Hopkins, that is a huge part 647 00:31:47,468 --> 00:31:50,388 Speaker 1: of this. You add in the mix Robbie Anderson. Now 648 00:31:50,428 --> 00:31:53,308 Speaker 1: I don't know how quickly they can get acclimated, right, 649 00:31:53,308 --> 00:31:55,788 Speaker 1: it's only three days through the trade process as well 650 00:31:55,828 --> 00:31:58,388 Speaker 1: as coming back from the suspension, but I suspect there'll 651 00:31:58,388 --> 00:32:00,188 Speaker 1: be a small package for both of them trying to 652 00:32:00,188 --> 00:32:02,828 Speaker 1: get them down the field and help out Kyler Murray 653 00:32:02,828 --> 00:32:05,388 Speaker 1: and this offense that's been struggling mightily. I mean they 654 00:32:05,428 --> 00:32:07,988 Speaker 1: only they didn't score a touchdown last week. They had 655 00:32:08,028 --> 00:32:10,028 Speaker 1: to rely on their defense and special teams to get 656 00:32:10,028 --> 00:32:13,348 Speaker 1: it in the end zone. So it's been interesting at 657 00:32:13,428 --> 00:32:16,668 Speaker 1: best on this deal. Move on to another team that 658 00:32:17,028 --> 00:32:19,268 Speaker 1: has us maybe scratching our heads a little bit, and 659 00:32:19,428 --> 00:32:22,108 Speaker 1: it's one that we have an unfamiliar quarterback to be questioning. 660 00:32:22,108 --> 00:32:24,068 Speaker 1: It's Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. They lost to the 661 00:32:24,148 --> 00:32:27,308 Speaker 1: Steelers on Sunday. Tom was visibly frustrated on the sidelines, 662 00:32:27,348 --> 00:32:29,908 Speaker 1: had some jokes about it this week. But now he's 663 00:32:29,908 --> 00:32:33,468 Speaker 1: getting some heat for attending Robert Craft's wedding the friday 664 00:32:33,588 --> 00:32:35,468 Speaker 1: night before as opposed to just being with the team 665 00:32:35,548 --> 00:32:37,708 Speaker 1: the entire weekend. I know that sounds like a hot tag. 666 00:32:38,268 --> 00:32:40,108 Speaker 1: You've been around the league quite a bit. What's your 667 00:32:40,228 --> 00:32:42,668 Speaker 1: take on the entire Buccaneer situation? Is it fair to 668 00:32:42,748 --> 00:32:45,668 Speaker 1: blame any of that loss on the quarterback not being 669 00:32:45,748 --> 00:32:48,828 Speaker 1: there on Friday night? You don't normally look at that 670 00:32:49,228 --> 00:32:52,348 Speaker 1: aspect of things. In a situation where he's the greatest 671 00:32:52,428 --> 00:32:54,508 Speaker 1: quarterback of all time, you figure he can do how 672 00:32:54,628 --> 00:32:56,708 Speaker 1: whatever he needs to do to prepare for a game 673 00:32:56,708 --> 00:32:59,268 Speaker 1: and be ready to go. I will say this, you 674 00:32:59,308 --> 00:33:01,388 Speaker 1: know he's never started a season like this, right, He's 675 00:33:01,428 --> 00:33:03,188 Speaker 1: never been at five hundreds or six weeks. He's never 676 00:33:03,188 --> 00:33:06,428 Speaker 1: been three and three. And when you don't play every 677 00:33:06,428 --> 00:33:08,388 Speaker 1: single night, when you're not the Major League Baseball or 678 00:33:08,388 --> 00:33:10,228 Speaker 1: you're not the NBA, where you get a chance the 679 00:33:10,228 --> 00:33:12,988 Speaker 1: next day to come back and showcase, you have seven 680 00:33:13,068 --> 00:33:16,348 Speaker 1: full days of the microscope, and they're willing to pick 681 00:33:16,388 --> 00:33:19,028 Speaker 1: apart everything and anything. And I will say this. I 682 00:33:19,068 --> 00:33:22,548 Speaker 1: do think the coaching staff and the front office have 683 00:33:22,708 --> 00:33:26,148 Speaker 1: enabled his behavior. Now. I know different players get treated different, 684 00:33:26,148 --> 00:33:28,068 Speaker 1: it's just it's the way of the NFL. I understand that. 685 00:33:28,228 --> 00:33:30,548 Speaker 1: But because it's been so public I do think they've 686 00:33:30,668 --> 00:33:32,668 Speaker 1: enabled that behavior. And for the first time, we're kind 687 00:33:32,668 --> 00:33:35,148 Speaker 1: of seeing Tom Brady a little bit selfish and maybe 688 00:33:35,148 --> 00:33:36,988 Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, he deserves it, but he's still trying 689 00:33:37,028 --> 00:33:38,508 Speaker 1: to win football games. If you're going to be there 690 00:33:38,588 --> 00:33:41,348 Speaker 1: to play, be all in and if you're not, then 691 00:33:41,468 --> 00:33:43,028 Speaker 1: you know, right off into the sunset is the greatest 692 00:33:43,108 --> 00:33:45,108 Speaker 1: quarterback of all time. I think that's the That's maybe 693 00:33:45,148 --> 00:33:47,548 Speaker 1: the disappointment in fans and maybe the media a little 694 00:33:47,548 --> 00:33:50,268 Speaker 1: bit with what's going on, especially in the loss to Pittsburgh. 695 00:33:50,468 --> 00:33:54,068 Speaker 1: Right meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers three and three and we don't 696 00:33:54,068 --> 00:33:56,548 Speaker 1: see that much from his Packers teams, and after their 697 00:33:56,588 --> 00:34:00,228 Speaker 1: loss at home against the Jets, he said kind of 698 00:34:00,228 --> 00:34:02,948 Speaker 1: a loaded statement I think where the offense needs to 699 00:34:03,228 --> 00:34:06,708 Speaker 1: simplify things. Matt Lafleur, the head coach, said, I don't 700 00:34:06,708 --> 00:34:08,988 Speaker 1: know what that means. In your eyes, what is he 701 00:34:09,068 --> 00:34:12,308 Speaker 1: talking about? I sect this, well, it means taking more 702 00:34:12,348 --> 00:34:15,428 Speaker 1: off the plate. Of those wide receivers, those young ride receivers, 703 00:34:15,468 --> 00:34:17,508 Speaker 1: not asking them to do more in the motion game, 704 00:34:17,548 --> 00:34:21,348 Speaker 1: maybe maybe identifying certain coverages as a wide receiver and 705 00:34:21,388 --> 00:34:23,388 Speaker 1: determined in what route you run, but just flat out 706 00:34:23,388 --> 00:34:25,948 Speaker 1: telling them you're going to run this route and all 707 00:34:25,948 --> 00:34:27,348 Speaker 1: you have to do is focus on that. And now, 708 00:34:27,308 --> 00:34:29,788 Speaker 1: if that's the case, I mean, then they missed on 709 00:34:29,828 --> 00:34:32,028 Speaker 1: these wide receivers in terms of who they drafted, because 710 00:34:32,228 --> 00:34:34,388 Speaker 1: we've seen a ton of guys come into this league 711 00:34:34,428 --> 00:34:37,508 Speaker 1: and fit into more complicated offenses and have a ton 712 00:34:37,548 --> 00:34:40,188 Speaker 1: of success as rookies. So that for me, seems like 713 00:34:40,588 --> 00:34:42,388 Speaker 1: a bit of an excuse. And I don't feel like 714 00:34:42,428 --> 00:34:44,308 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is ever a guy that gives a lot 715 00:34:44,308 --> 00:34:46,868 Speaker 1: of excuses. He doesn't have a problem necessarily thrown in 716 00:34:46,908 --> 00:34:49,028 Speaker 1: his coach or under the bus every once in a while. 717 00:34:49,068 --> 00:34:52,228 Speaker 1: But they seem to bounce back, and this is the 718 00:34:52,308 --> 00:34:55,228 Speaker 1: year that feels a little different. They didn't bounce back. 719 00:34:55,268 --> 00:34:57,668 Speaker 1: That's Jets game was the opportunity to do that, And 720 00:34:57,708 --> 00:34:59,908 Speaker 1: I think the bigger conversation probably should be around the 721 00:35:00,268 --> 00:35:02,948 Speaker 1: baby Jets. I mean, these guys just have no idea 722 00:35:02,988 --> 00:35:05,628 Speaker 1: what the past is. They weren't around when the team 723 00:35:05,668 --> 00:35:07,668 Speaker 1: was bad. So they don't know. They just know they're 724 00:35:07,828 --> 00:35:11,988 Speaker 1: they're young, they're fun, they're really competitive and really good 725 00:35:11,988 --> 00:35:14,348 Speaker 1: at football, and they're having a blast. Ryan, here's one 726 00:35:14,348 --> 00:35:17,548 Speaker 1: thing we can simplify. The Russell Wilson project in Denver 727 00:35:17,708 --> 00:35:20,068 Speaker 1: is not going as planned. They just lost their fourth 728 00:35:20,108 --> 00:35:22,588 Speaker 1: straight game of the season, because their fourth game of 729 00:35:22,588 --> 00:35:25,748 Speaker 1: the season. If things keep trending this way, how do 730 00:35:25,828 --> 00:35:28,428 Speaker 1: the Broncos turn this plane around? I don't know if 731 00:35:28,428 --> 00:35:30,548 Speaker 1: you can. I mean, you're married to this guy, right. 732 00:35:30,548 --> 00:35:33,188 Speaker 1: You gave away ten players you signed to do a 733 00:35:33,228 --> 00:35:35,268 Speaker 1: seven year contract I think is dead. Cap hit in 734 00:35:35,308 --> 00:35:38,388 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six is like forty three million or something 735 00:35:38,468 --> 00:35:40,828 Speaker 1: like that, So I mean, you can't go anywhere. This 736 00:35:40,988 --> 00:35:43,868 Speaker 1: is This is bad for Nathaniel Hackett. That's what this 737 00:35:43,948 --> 00:35:46,268 Speaker 1: is bad for, because if the guy is not gone 738 00:35:46,308 --> 00:35:47,588 Speaker 1: by the end of the year, he could be gone 739 00:35:47,588 --> 00:35:50,148 Speaker 1: by the middle of the year. But I've tried not 740 00:35:50,188 --> 00:35:52,388 Speaker 1: to put so much on Russell Wilson because I feel 741 00:35:52,388 --> 00:35:54,628 Speaker 1: like maybe the offense doesn't fit in line with what 742 00:35:54,708 --> 00:35:56,468 Speaker 1: he does so much. I mean, you look at that 743 00:35:56,908 --> 00:36:00,868 Speaker 1: coaching treat Matt Lafloor, Aaron Rodgers, you look at Zach Taylor, 744 00:36:01,148 --> 00:36:06,548 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, Sean McVeagh, Matthew Stafford, Guys Kirk Cousins and 745 00:36:06,708 --> 00:36:09,868 Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell. They don't move around the pocket like Russell 746 00:36:09,908 --> 00:36:12,628 Speaker 1: Wilson likes to outside the pocket. That's what he's better at. 747 00:36:12,628 --> 00:36:14,868 Speaker 1: And maybe this offense isn't based on that, and something 748 00:36:14,868 --> 00:36:16,708 Speaker 1: you probably should have figured out before you went and 749 00:36:16,788 --> 00:36:18,708 Speaker 1: hired Nathaniel Hackett. I know when they did, I think 750 00:36:18,748 --> 00:36:21,188 Speaker 1: they were hoping they could lure Aaron Rodgers there. But 751 00:36:21,388 --> 00:36:24,028 Speaker 1: will you watch all the film, He's missing wide open guys, 752 00:36:24,148 --> 00:36:26,868 Speaker 1: not missing them completely, not even seeing them. And I 753 00:36:26,908 --> 00:36:28,548 Speaker 1: know the example has been put out there for Monday 754 00:36:28,628 --> 00:36:30,868 Speaker 1: Night where one of his Titans was wide open over 755 00:36:30,948 --> 00:36:34,588 Speaker 1: the ball and he just he didn't even see him, right, 756 00:36:34,668 --> 00:36:37,508 Speaker 1: And that's happened many times. His wide receivers are running 757 00:36:37,668 --> 00:36:40,308 Speaker 1: wide open sometimes and so there's just been a disconnect. 758 00:36:40,308 --> 00:36:43,908 Speaker 1: And now, hey, Broncos Country, Russell Wilson's gonna gonna ride 759 00:36:43,908 --> 00:36:46,188 Speaker 1: with you guys for a while now, Nathaniel Hackett, I 760 00:36:46,188 --> 00:36:49,548 Speaker 1: don't know how long the Young Coaches is destined for 761 00:36:49,588 --> 00:36:52,948 Speaker 1: the for the Denver mile high life. Ryan appreciate you 762 00:36:53,028 --> 00:36:55,828 Speaker 1: coming through and enjoy that game tomorrow night. Have fun 763 00:36:55,908 --> 00:36:57,428 Speaker 1: calling it all right, so you guys back in the 764 00:36:57,428 --> 00:37:04,788 Speaker 1: studio next week. Can't wait, Man tat
