5
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: the next level, but those Texans looking the show out

6
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: in front of the h town faithful. It's Panthers at Sexans.

8
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 1: the best scoring defense, and then maybe the most electric

9
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: running back in the game. It's all happening on t

10
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,440

11
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: welcome Figuring Morning Koufa. We're presented by old Trapper Beef

Speaker 1: Jerky live in New York. You know the drill Wednesday,

13
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: September twenty second, that means which guy Wednesday, That means

00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: whiteboard Wednesday. The Long Show Story time with Victor Cruz.

15
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: I have a story. Apparently you don't want to know

16
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: anything about it until then. Peter Schreger, Kyle Brands are

17
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: all here, and we've got to talk about the lead block,

18
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: Big Black Block. You guys can tweet the show. You

19
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: fuel it at GMF. The Packers about their first win

20
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: of the season Monday Night. Solid handling of the Lions,

21
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: especially in the second half as the defense shut them out.

22
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: In the words of Aaron Rodgers, maybe the Trolls will

23
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: be off their back for a little while. But as always,

24
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: there's another game rider on the corner. It's Sunday night.

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 1: Packers heading to San Francisco. They're taking on the undefeated

26
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Are the pack actually back? Are the

27
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: Niners true contenders? We will find out in primetime in

28
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: Week three. We cannot wait for this one. What will

29
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: ultimately decide who wins We all know is a heavyweight

30
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: of the Week three matchup between the Packers and the Niners. Kyle,

31
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: it's really fun that after a whole week if Rodgers

32
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: having to hear that the Packers suck and he's not

33
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: committed now. He asked to remember those a couple of

34
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: times you've got your heads kicked in by the Niners.

35
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: That was fun. Remember they were your childhood team that

36
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: didn't draft you. We can get into that too. It's

37
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: just a right into another nationally televised game. And my

38
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: concern with the Packers in this game is my concern

39
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: with the Packers, but I don't know fifteen years that

40
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: they have a beach body. They got biceps and triceps

41
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: and beautiful blonde hair and no core. They're soft in

42
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: the million. Who's gonna decide this game? Do you know

43
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: these people? You should? You might learn about. I'm sunny.

44
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: That's the Packers front seven one sack the season. That's

45
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: the fewest out of thirty two teams. Now there is

46
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: Aary Smith not there. But listen, Rogers and Davante and

47
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna be great. How's Chris Barnes gonna be How's

48
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: Kingsley Key key? How's Kenny Clark? Kenny Clark is a

49
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: very good nose tackle. Kenny Clark was out there for

50
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: the most dirt game and some of those other butt

51
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: whippions that they have taken. It's always about are the

52
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: Packers tough enough on defense? And there's no worst team

53
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: to play in the league than the Niners. They're gonna

54
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 1: go at you. Did you see Kittle last week? He's

55
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: back to kittling. He's laughing in guy's faces as he

56
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: pancakes them. I know Rogers is gonna be fine. I

57
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: know all those guys on offense are gonna be fine.

58
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: Does anybody in the front seven, not even getting into

59
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: the young secondary, including the rookie corner, Is anybody in

60
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: the front seven want to stop somebody, want to get

61
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: off a block, want to make a sack when I

62
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: get passed, when it hit somebody. I've seen them never

63
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: do that before. Go for four quarters. The front seven,

64
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: which I do not think many people in America could identify,

65
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: will determine us. One Sunday Night said that's how it goes. Yeah,

66
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: I agree. I think for Aaron Rodgers is going to

67
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: be How clean can they keep him? Obviously in week

68
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: one he was all over the place, not making any plays.

69
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: They were in his face, sacks, TfL all sorts of things.

70
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: The second week he came back in that second half

71
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: particularly and played well and did what he had to

72
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: do to get that win. Now we're gonna find out

73
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: about their toughness very very quickly a San Francisco. They're

74
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: a very very good team. They do a lot of

75
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: great things defensively, good schemes. They're gonna be ready and

76
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: prepared for Aaron Rodgers. Can they keep him clean? Can

77
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: they keep him upright so that he can be the

78
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers that we know and love, but I think

79
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: the biggest thing Hoyle, you hit it right on the head,

80
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: is how tough is his team. I don't see them

81
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: be great, throw the ball downfield, look great, all the

82
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: bells and whistles, but when their backs are against the wall,

83
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: when they're you know, when they're when things aren't going

84
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: their way? What does this team do? How do they respond?

85
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: And I think we'll find out on on Sunday. I

86
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: remember a playoff game in San Francisco that you played in,

87
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: and it was probably the hardest hitting game I'd ever seen.

88
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: Maybe Eli's real come to the moment of hey, I

89
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: am that guy. The Niners they might have the same players,

90
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: it might not be Patrick Willison the marrow bowman, but

91
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: they still hit right, absolutely absolutely, and I would say

92
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: it and I Peter, I've told you this numerous times.

93
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: That game was the most physically grueling game I've ever

94
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: played in, and the Super Bowl was the most mentally

95
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: grueling game I've ever played in. So going into San France,

96
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: they still have that template of guys that come downhill,

97
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: they hit you in the mouth, they're ready to play football.

98
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: It's going to tell a lot about your team going

99
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 1: into San Francisco this weekend. For sure. I'm so curious

100
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: what they do on offense in Green Bay because I

101
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: feel like, all right, so week one was like the

102
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: wake up call. I wrote this out. Week two was

103
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: the warm up, so you're the wake up in the

104
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: warm up? Is week three the glow up pretty good?

105
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: Where like we see when we see like this is

106
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: what we wake up call, warm up, glow up that

107
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: that's your plan? All right? Niners eat us every time,

108
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: and you know you dominate us all this thing. What

109
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: if Rogers goes in there and just lights them and

110
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: he can. Have you guys seen what the Niners are

111
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: walking into on their defensive backfield right now there injury

112
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: riddled like you never believe. Last week was crazy. They

113
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: had Josh Norman as their number one corner who they

114
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: picked up five days ago. This is their secondary right now.

115
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: These are the corners. And I'm sorry, I know they're

116
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: great upfront, and Eric Armstead and I know Bosa and

117
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: I know these guys and Nick Werner's going to hit you.

118
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: But if Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams want to have

119
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: a day and a glow up moment and tell everyone

120
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: in the rest of the world, like, don't worry about us.

121
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: This is it. Rogers in Adams Connect and had big

122
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: numbers on Monday night, but that was against the Lions

123
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: at home. Go into San Franz with Al Michaels and

124
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: Chris collins Worth on the call, and do what you

125
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: guys were born to do. I think they can now

126
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: the Niners can easily go to a Cover two and

127
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: they could say we're taking that away. Well, if that's

128
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: the case, Aaron Jones and the Death because Us, like

129
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: he did against the Lions, go short, go Tongyan, go

130
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: Jan and just keep on chipping away. Take what they

131
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: give you. I think Nathaniel Hackett's a really good offensive coordinator.

132
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: I think Rogers still is one of the best quarterbacks

133
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: in our game. On this national showcase, give us the

134
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: glow up game. Go light up this beleaguered Ers League backfield.

135
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: It sounds like you're as confident in the Packers offense

136
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: as you are unconfident in their defense. From as you're

137
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: one concern about them, so they're really going to have

138
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: to score the glow up the glow up, I'm into it.

139
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: I'll talk about the Niner SEO. Guys are talking mostly

140
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: Packers some deficiencies on the Niner side. They will not

141
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: win this game if they can't get the run game going.

142
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: It's historically how they've blown out this Packers team. Were

143
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 1: taken them to town in recent years, including that NFC

144
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: Championship game where they ran for two hundred eighty five

145
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: yards on the back of Yeah where he mostart? Who

146
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: is out in this one? Let's talk about those names

147
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: that are gone guys. Journeyman Elijah Mitchell. Everyone looks scoop

148
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: him up on waivers. He's now dealing with an injury.

149
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson on pub to Michael Hasty. I liked Tim

150
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: for a quick minute yesterday saw or last year saw

151
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: some things. He is now out with an ankle. Tray

152
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: Sermon has concussions. The only healthy backs are journeyman Trent

153
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: and Cannon and Jacques Patrick, who assigned off the Bengals

154
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: practice squad. This transaction hit the wire. I need to

155
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: warm up and play running. Do you feel like you can?

156
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: Back's a little tight, there's I'm not going to boil

157
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: over a performance HUM fourteen. You have, you're ready to

158
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: do it. If these two can't get going, here's here's

159
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: the solution in my head and Treggs, you tell me

160
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: if you're if I'm wrong, or if this is possible.

161
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: You brought up Trey Lance, Trey Lance being a part

162
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: of the game punt. Is this an opportunity then with

163
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: that running back situation Baffield put it in Trey Lance.

164
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: Do we see him a little bit more under the

165
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: bright lights of prime time to add a spark to

166
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: this offense? Absolutely, I think this is an opportunity where

167
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: they can unveil the entire playbook and they might have to.

168
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: To your point, I mean Trenton cannons with the Jets

169
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: on the practice squad like these are not this will

170
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: be the ultimate test. Okay, Also of like the Shanahan offense. Yeah,

171
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: versus Jimmy's and Joe's or X's and Oh's. Because I mean,

172
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: because is that a lot of it would say you

173
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: can put anyone in that off That's what I say.

174
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: Who was rare most was he bo Jack's fair and

175
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: undrafted cannon can go for one twenty on this pack,

176
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: I believe again, I believe anybody could do that in

177
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: the Niners offense. That's like, that's the power that you

178
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: feel a lot of Trey Lance, though, who had his

179
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: legs bring to the table. Also what he does, It's intriguing,

180
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: especially on Sunday night. I would love that too, but

181
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: we're all kind of expecting us and maybe Shanahon Zaggs,

182
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. No one knows Victor Cruze out there.

183
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: Maybe he will. I'm warmed up. I'd like to see

184
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: Trey Lance in a green zone situation, kind of don't

185
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: put too much pressure on I'm kind of going with

186
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: a shrunken field and see what he can do, use

187
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,239
Speaker 1: his legs like a week on arm play action pass

188
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: and see what he can do and kind of provide

189
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: a little bit of a change of gear switch to

190
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: gears up a little bit against that defense. Love it

191
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: at GMFE with your tweets, what your thoughts are less

192
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: bringing Ian Rabbit pord are Insider. This here got a

193
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: big one to kick off Week three on Thursday between

194
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: the Panthers and the Techs right here on NFL Network.

195
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: What is the latest with Tyrod Taylor? Tyrod Taylor yesterday

196
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: afternoon was officially placed on injury reserve and that means

197
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: he is out the next three games at least. This

198
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: hamstring injury which we talked about earlier in the week

199
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: was significant, look like much. Tyrod Taylor kind of tweaked

200
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: it a little bit running into the end zone. Actually

201
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: tried to come back, just simply could not go. And

202
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: you know, they tried to do some exams. It was very,

203
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: very very swollen. That usually is not a good sign.

204
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: So now Tyrod Taylor is out for at least three games.

205
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: And you know, he was playing really well, no interceptions,

206
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: more than a one hundred and twenty pass or rating,

207
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: putting seventy percent of his pass is really everything you

208
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: could ever ever want from a quarterback. Not name Deshaun

209
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: Watson in Houston. So now, guys, it is going to

210
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: be Davis Mills, the former Stanford quarterback, former mid round pick.

211
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: Everybody lost their minds when Nikki Seio made him his

212
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: first ever pick as a Texans GM. Now in the

213
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: very very bright lights of Thursday night, Mills is going

214
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: to be starting for Houston. I mean, for a lot

215
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: of things about this quarterback, I said, I'd like to

216
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: see him on the field, and I'll get that opportunity

217
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: under the bright lights of Thursday night football Ian appreciate you, Shrake,

218
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: or do you have anything to add tell people what

219
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: they need to know about Davison. Yeah, so there's a

220
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: guy's got ice in his veins. It's not going to

221
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: be a moment too big for Him's also got a

222
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: cool story. He was the number one high school quarterback

223
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: in the country in twenty seventeen. The number one recruit,

224
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: David Shaw from Stanford recruits him and he goes to Stanford.

225
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: He is the other guys that were in that class.

226
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: He was far and away the one everyone wanted, Davis Mills,

227
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: but it was two os Mac, it was Kellen Mon

228
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: and it's current Notre Dame quarterback Jack Cone. We got

229
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: the high schools on there. We got the high schools

230
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: in there. Davis Mills tour two ACLS in college at Stanford,

231
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: did not play a ton of games last year, came

232
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: back in that weird COVID situation. No one really knows

233
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: where to go get. The Texans scout him. A lot

234
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: of team scout in there, like this guy's got the

235
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: right mindset, the right capability, and has the right potential

236
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: if healthy. Now he's being thrown into the mix in

237
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: Week three. It's a lot to ask, especially with the

238
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: Panthers young defense, But I think Davis Mills might be

239
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: the man on Thursday and maybe he can get a win.

240
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: Welcome back with Stocks and Cowboys. They got to win

241
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: this weekend, and there is some intrigue about their backfields.

242
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: Not Dak Prescott. It's a little bit of Zeke Elliott,

243
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: and then a little bit about another guy who I

244
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: think is a rising star and we've talked about as

245
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: a show a lot. Jerry Jones is talking about him now.

246
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: He was asked this weekend about his backfield Tony Pollard

247
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: l Elliott, and he says, this is all a great

248
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: thing in his appearance is one of five three the

249
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: fan have a listen. You do what makes the first down,

250
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: or you do what gets the bow yards or ultimately

251
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: wins the game. And that's where it all comes. The

252
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: facts are that we really have an outstanding situation here

253
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: that Pollard gets up on him so fast and can

254
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: really surprised surprise the defense. He's stronger than he looks,

255
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: but he just has got so sudden and got such

256
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: a burst. And then Zeke, you don't even need to

257
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: describe him. He's he's his powerful in terms of How'm

258
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: going to overuse the word, but his burst I mean

259
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 1: to tell you he punishes the hell out of those defenders,

260
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: and that's going to be a that's going to be

261
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: Both of those are going to be a real staple

262
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: for us as we get into the face. Let's get

263
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: to your beef presented by Old Trapper, and let's just

264
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: pick up right there. And mister Jones was talking about

265
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: because I think he's half right. There's a fascinating thing

266
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: going on the Cowboys backfield right now, and I think

267
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: it's a lot like the Cowboys have this very fancy

268
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: expensive laptop that is Zeke Elliott, and they keep getting

269
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: these notices update, Update, Update, and you could no, no, no,

270
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: no, no no, stops. I don't want to update. That's Tony Pollard.

271
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: And they're saying I will help you run better, trust me,

272
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: go with it. I'm the new thing, and they keep

273
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: ignoring it. Right now. Ezekiel Elliott is playing more than

274
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard for three reasons. His contract, his fame, and

275
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: his contract among those reasons is not his game or

276
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: his tape. But I do not want to beat up

277
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: on Zeke Elliot. This is more about championing Tony Pollard.

278
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: Put on a Cowboys game right now, guys this weekend,

279
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: put on a Cowboys game and watch for ten minutes.

280
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: You will find that the Cowboys offense, the Cowboys running

281
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: game is fresher, faster, and bolder when Tony Pollard is

282
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: on the field for Ezekiel Elliott. And this is not

283
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: a new thing. This is going on for a couple

284
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: of years now, and nobody has wanted to say it.

285
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: Now it's starting to be talked about. And if you

286
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: don't trust those optics, if you don't trust my opinion,

287
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: trust the numbers. Let's take a broader look back the

288
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: most explosive runs for the Cowboys since Tony Pollard was drafted.

289
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: Here's all of them listed. This is the one that

290
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: kills me. Tony Pollard forty four, Dak Prescott forty two,

291
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, Tony Pollard, Tony Pollard, Zeke Elliott thirty three,

292
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: sixth on the list. They're just not there. The fact

293
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: is that Zeke's fame and his reputation, I think are

294
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: still living off the equity from many, many many years ago.

295
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: Came in, was a rookie superstar. He had it all going.

296
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: He jumped in a kettle, he ate with the spoon,

297
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: he had a cool name and cool hair and cool

298
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: crop top and all of that. Tony Pollard doesn't have

299
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: any of that. You know what he can give you

300
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: can't give you cool. He can give you second and four.

301
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: And don't the Cowboys have enough cool? Haven't they had

302
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: enough cool? Haven't they printed enough jerseys? Maybe print some

303
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: bands by playing the best player at every position, independent

304
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: of dollars and followers and jersey's soul. Then I will

305
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: end with this. Jerry Jones had his instincts on this

306
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: back in twenty nine when Zeke was holding out. He

307
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: didn't trust his instincts because in every joke there is

308
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: a kernel of truth. And I think this tape is

309
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: scorching hot in the freezing cold take factor cooler z

310
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: could It's hilarious. That's why it's a Hall of Famer.

311
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: That's why he's beloved. But the question was this, isn't

312
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: pollered your best leverage over Zeke? And then we laugh

313
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: about it. He was your best leverage. They signed him

314
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: an irresponsible contract and here we are years later and

315
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: the second best running back is still starting. Guys, it's

316
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: one who went fourth overall, one who went on the

317
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: fourth round. Go with the guy who doesn't give you

318
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: fourth down and it's number twenty. That's even before you go, Peter,

319
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: what is your beef with this? Like those things are

320
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: all that might be true, and they signed him to contract.

321
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: Now you can't do anything about that. What is your

322
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: beef with the situation? The entire situation start to finish,

323
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: The Tony Pollard should be playing more, he should be

324
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: playing earlier. She's the better running back. Oh yeah, first,

325
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: first series, second series, Like he's the starter by every

326
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: metric except fame and contracts. We've had countless, countless times

327
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: in the league where there is a player taken in

328
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: the first round and a player taken in the fourth round. Immediately,

329
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: I think of Robert Griffin, the third is the second

330
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: overall pick, and Kirk Cousins is a fourth round pick,

331
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: and Cousins was better. The owner wants to see Griffin

332
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: out there because that's my second round pick, but Cousins

333
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: was better every day, and eventually the coach went out.

334
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: I don't think the money matters anymore. It's already been spent,

335
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: it's already gone. I think to them, it's what gives

336
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: us the best opportunity, and Kyle not to bring down

337
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: the tone or not to put water on it. They

338
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: had one hundred ninety eight yards rushing on on Sunday

339
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: against a good Chargers front. They made you know, Joey

340
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: Bosa did nothing, Tillery did nothing. They were running up

341
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: and down, up and down. It was almost like they

342
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: were interchangeable. Is there a beef if it's working as

343
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: a collective and Tony Pollard doesn't seem outraged by the

344
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: fact he's not getting these care Tony POD's not gonna

345
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: say squad, He's not that kind of guy. Zeke should

346
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: absolutely be part of the offense. Of course, Zeke should

347
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: be the change of pace back. Absolutely, Tony Pollard should

348
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: be the first option. And I mean that this whole

349
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: big used to be known for the sauce of Danson

350
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: wed love Me talk about all the time. Zeke has

351
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: been known for this eating thing. When's the last time

352
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: he's done that? Earnestly, it's been years and again, I

353
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: don't want to beat up on Zeke. He has assets,

354
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: he brings things to the table. I'm just saying he's

355
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: the second best and Polide should be the star. Yeah,

356
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: I think for me, I mean, you know, it's tough

357
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: for me to talk about two different backs because I

358
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: played on a team with Brandon Jacobs and a my

359
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: Brad film. They made it work, right, we made it work,

360
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: and they made it work for years now. They had

361
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: to obviously put a ton of egos aside, and they

362
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: loved each other and they were here for the betterment

363
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: of the football team. But I think it's tough to, like,

364
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: you know, make Tony polyide your starter because you know,

365
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: again Ezekos getting paid a lot of money until your credit,

366
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: all that money ain't spent just yet, Like there's still

367
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: some money that has to be divvied out over the

368
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: next couple of years. Now, it'd be interesting to see. Again,

369
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: it's only two weeks, Like, talk to me after Tony

370
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: Pollard is there two months? What do those numbers look

371
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: like then? Is it a substantial difference between the two, Yes,

372
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: it is right now, but Tony just had a better

373
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: game than Zeke did. Maybe week two. I think we

374
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: have to look at it. Talk to me around week

375
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: eight and see what those numbers look like, and then

376
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: I can create a bigger picture as to what this

377
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: looks like. But I think there's room for both of them.

378
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: Do I think Ezekiel needs more. Ezekiel does more than

379
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: Tony out of the backfield, captain the football. They need

380
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: to incorporate him more that way, instead of just handing

381
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: him the ball and people pinning their ears back and

382
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,719
Speaker 1: coming down here to get them. I think they need

383
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: to incorporate Ezekiel differently throughout the offense. To Kyle's point,

384
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: it's been going on, not just these first two weeks

385
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: of the season, but to your point, you just have

386
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: this incredible thing. And I'm like, and you say that,

387
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: to say what that it's a good problem. I completely

388
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: agree with Jerry Jones here. The money is spent, the

389
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: contract is is. You know, let's say they made a

390
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: mistake with Zeke. Okay, well, now it's pretty cool that

391
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: you have a guy named Tony Pollard who can come

392
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: in there and they can get the run game going.

393
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: I throw the game against the Bucks out because it

394
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: wasn't even the game plan to use Zeke. You look

395
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: at him. Was he bad against Was Zeke bad against

396
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: the Chargers? He just wasn't as good. He was not bad.

397
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: Ninety seven total yards a touchdown on eighteen touches. Would

398
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, in your opinion, as a running back would

399
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: he be as effective if he wasn't splitting? You know,

400
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: that would be my question. Would Tony Pollard be as

401
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: effective as a runner and what he's doing in the

402
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: production he's bringing to this offense if he didn't have

403
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: Zeek there, No, Because I'm not saying Tony Pollard is

404
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 1: a thirty carry guy. Okay, not at all. But this

405
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: has gone on for two years. We showed a graphic

406
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: that had the most explosive plays since twenty nineteen. So

407
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: now we're in the year three. This is what I

408
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: want from Tony Pollard. I'll finish with this. They play Monday,

409
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,719
Speaker 1: they play Monday night, right, yes, Monday night against against Philadelphia.

410
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: I want him on the on the field for the

411
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: big drives. I want him on the field for the

412
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: game winning drive and the first drive because he is

413
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: better by every metric of running back and it's not

414
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: a new thing. The fascinating part of it is it's

415
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and his fame playing a factor. There's a

416
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: lot of twenty one jerseys in the crowd and they

417
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: want him out there because of that. Because if that's

418
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: the case, well you're not winning squad this year. We

419
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: don't think. So this fifth pass week didn't give you

420
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: so much encouragement that like this backfield can work that

421
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: it's it's not a bad thing that Tony Pollard is good.

422
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: You just want him to start ahead of him. I

423
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: want him to get more carries and more meaningful drives.

424
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,959
Speaker 1: I want him to be the starter because he can.

425
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: I time in one last thing, and that's just like

426
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: football inside the weeds, Like, what's one of the best

427
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: black blocking running backs in the entire NFL And you

428
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: have him out there and he can block on the

429
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: passing game and get block in the running game. But yeah,

430
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard does have some spark to him. Pollard can

431
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: block too. Who do you want out there on third down,

432
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: third and third and games on the line, third down

433
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: drive or maybe before the half, third down and short five?

434
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: Who do you want out there to look? If Zeke

435
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: is a better pass blocker, put him out there. It's

436
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: and it's not about third. It's not first and ten

437
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: for me, Like that's the down for Tony Pollard, the

438
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: Zeke thing, it's not. It's it's a few years ago now.

439
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to beat up on the guy. It's

440
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: just not there, guys. Yeah, and again, It's not about

441
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: because about how much you like Tony Polling, not just

442
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: to seem all right. What's your people at GM? Because

454
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: Hurts has outscored him both weeks in fantasy football? All right,

455
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,640

Speaker 1: I'm just gonna lay up the back to you. Right,

458
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: you go to NFL dot com. You look at where

459
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks are ranked. Jalen Hurts is ranked top five,

460
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen is ranked eighth. Going into this week

461
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: up against WAH Washington is scary, I get it. Are

462
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: they that scary? No, we saw Daniel Jones run up

463
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,479
Speaker 1: and down the field. You think Josh Allen can't use

464
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: his legs against him? He absolutely can. Justin Herbert threw

465
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: on that. So I feel like I know he's been

466
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: off to a lackluster start this season. Josh Allen from

467
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective, from an efficiency perspective and accuracy perspective,

468
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: sure the fantasy points haven't been there. I like Hurts,

469
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. In a daily I'd probably go

470
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: and Hurts his direction. But you cannot bench Josh Allen

471
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: against Washington trips. I agree. I think you drafted Josh

472
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: Allen is either the first or second quarterback off the board.

473
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: Ride with the guy that got you there. Don't pull

474
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: the plug yet. I don't know if Jalen Hurts is

475
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: gonna light up that Dallas defense. Michael Parsons looked pretty

476
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: good against the Er. He'll be good. But you can't

477
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: get if it were me and I have these two

478
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks which is a very real thing a lot of

479
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: people have. I cannot see myself taking Josh Allen out

480
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: and putting Jalen hurtson, even if he has the high

481
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: rushing floor. If you lose because you bench Jalen Hurts, fine,

482
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: you lost. If you lose as your bench Josh Allen,

483
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: you're an idiot. Next Blaine an idiot smart because he

484
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: knows when to ask for helping. Yeah, should I go

485
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: with Brandon Cooks or Michael Pittman Junior versus the Titans

486
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: this weekend? That's what Blaine hellen Kak wants to know. Okay,

487
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: but Pittman burned me week one. Brandon Cookes, we haven't

488
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: talked about good good use me. He was the eleventh

489
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: best wide receiver in Fantasy scoring. Left tic a look

490
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: at where their Gobin Cooks is playing with a backup quarterback.

491
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: We know Tyrod Taylor's out short week, Pittman might be

492
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: playing with one as well. Right, runs of status is

493
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: in the air. M I don't know if I trust

494
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: Davis Mills up against this tough Panthers defense. That's kind

495
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: of what it comes down to me. I'm quarterback the

496
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: asteroid that hit the super of the Caesar's pounce. Caesar's done.

497
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 1: Come there. And in New Orleans Pittman coming off an

498
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: eight catch, one hundred and twenty three yard performance against

499
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: I mean, here's Pittman did against the Rams, right, such

500
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: a tough defense, still did it. The Titans have allowed

501
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: more yards and touchdowns to receivers than any team in

502
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: the league. It comes down to matchup. For me, I'm

503
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: a new Pittman over Brandon Cooks, who has been und

504
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: We love that. Lastly, Kay, we have one more tweet

505
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: from Carlton asking who should I go with, rondol More

506
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: or Sterling Shepherd. Now I know who I would pick here, Okay,

507
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: would do good. This is the hardest one. So you're

508
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: gonna help me. Give me your case for Sterling Shepherd

509
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: numbers wise well, Sterling has the Falcons. Okay, Sterling has

510
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: the Falcons. I love Sterling in this one, mainly because

511
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: the Falcons are given up. I mean they're last in

512
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: almost every category, especially defensively. So if we're gonna put

513
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: it to a receiver that's gonna have the most upside.

514
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones looks at him. I think he had eight

515
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: or nine targets last game. He's looking for Sterling Shepherd.

516
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: He's his you know, go to veteran receiver. I think

517
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: that's who I would go with her. So Sterling has

518
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: the Falcons run down more. His matchup is just as

519
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: good as the Jaguars. Sterling Shepherd having a monster year

520
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: guy who leads the league and catches and averaging over

521
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: one hundred yards a game. This is the big floor,

522
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: the save option. I look at you, Kyle, this is

523
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: this is what it is. Do I take the I

524
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna get some points out of Shepherd. I might,

525
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: I might not. Or I have Kyler Murray throwing the

526
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: ball to Rondo Moore. A lot of options, but he

527
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: can have one play that can just take away everything

528
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd does in this game. I think you don't

529
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: even blink and you start Rondo Moore as a piece

530
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: of Kyler because it's fascinating with the Sterling Shepherd thing too.

531
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: Like this Galladay situation in New York is kind of weird.

532
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: I think he really wants the ball. I think Daniels

533
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: wants to get him the ball. And if I'm a

534
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: fantasy owner who starts Sterling Shepherd, I don't like that.

535
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Rondo. You could win the matchup if

536
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: you play Rondo Moore on one plate. So gray morning

537
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: here on Good Morning Football. Why we have Thursday Night

538

00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: at primetime showdown in the lone Star State. Christian McCaffrey

540
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: ready to lead the Panthers to the next level, while

541
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: the Textans are looking to show out in front of

542
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: the eighth town Faithful. It's Panthers, Texans quite a class.

543
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: Week three starts here Thursday Night Football tomorrow at eight

544
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: Eastern only on NFL Network. A very happy good morning

545
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: to from GMFP, presented by old rapper Beef Jerkey. We're

546
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: live Peter Schrager, myself, Kay Adams, Kyle Brand, Victor Cruz,

547
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: who's got story time coming up. And Kay made me

548
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: dance earlier and I don't even know well he still

549
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: got it, got it feels good. I can't believe we

550
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: didn't tell you that you were going to do that.

551
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: You did it so effortless. Luckily, it's like riding a

552
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: back Victor that first year after he did it. How

553
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: often where you brought on TV shows? He just dance.

554
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm clearly it's still happening currently, but all the time,

555
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: whether TV shows, grocery stores, the local park in Patterson,

556
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. What does that mean? Grocery stores like

557
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: you're buying your readings and people are like dance sir, Yes, correct,

558
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm in the produce section, just picking out some good produce.

559
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: Some people are Victor. Let's see the dance. Peter Schreger,

560
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Brown, Let's do a time with the lead block

561
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: and straight to hints. Talk about some quarterbacks. Unfortunately, it's

562
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: part of the game. Unfortunately part of the game early

563
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: in the season. So many qbs dealing with injuries. Right now,

564
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: Let's get the run down, and let's start with the

565
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 1: Raiders in their quarterback Terrek Carr. So, Derek Carr had

566
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: an ankle injury, and you saw him really in serious

567
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: pain last Sunday on the sideline. Weren't sure if he

568
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: was going to return, but of course he ended up

569
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: toughing it out and getting back out there. That was

570
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: the last week thought of it, and then John Gruden

571
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,479
Speaker 1: announced on Monday that he actually had an MRI just

572
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: to check the ankle. My understanding it, it's a little

573
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: tender workload's not going to be as much this week

574
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: as last week, but he is expected to play. With

575
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: good news there for Derek Carr. Another quarterback situation, we

576
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: are monitoring two a tug of Vloe who left on

577
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: a cart actually with bruise ribs, in some serious pain.

578
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: They did an MRI to see if there was cartilage damage.

579
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: There was none. That's a very good sign. But whether

580
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: or not he starts, or whether Jacoby Brisett starts, is

581
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 1: really going to be determined by how much pain he's

582
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: in and how functional he can be with those ribs.

583
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: More information later in the week. Another quarterback situation, we

584
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: are checking on Carson Wentz, who sprained not just one ankle,

585
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: but two ankles, which are all the ankles. He has

586
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: no more ankles to sprain because he has framed both

587
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: of them, one high ankle, one regular ankle spraining. He's

588
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: going to test it today just to really see whether

589
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: or not he can practice. No word yet on his

590
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: status for Sunday. Jacobies and the back of there In Indianapolis.

591
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: The Chicago Bears have a quarterback situation up their own.

592
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: Everyone's been wondering when is Justin Fields going to play?

593
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: We played a lot Sunday because Andy Dalton suffered a

594
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: bone bruise. This was the diagnosis after the MRI. Dalnons

595
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: considered week to week and hasn't exactly been ruled out,

596
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: but Field seems in line to start this Sunday and

597
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: finally for the Thursday night game. Tyrod Taylor was officially

598
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: placed on injured reserve yesterday. He's got a hamstring injury.

599
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: He's week to week. He's out at least three games

600
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: just because he was placed in IR, which means Davis Mills,

601
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: the rookie from Stanford, is getting this start under the

602
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: big lights on Thursday. Ian, thank you. We'll talk to

603
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: you in a bit. Let's talk a little bit about

604
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: week three. We saw a little bit of history Sunday

605
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: night with Patrick Mahomes. Not great history for him, first loss,

606
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 1: his first interception in the months of September. Not all

607
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: about Mahomes though. Here's what his coach, Andy Reid said

608
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: about the squad after that loss to the Ravens. I'm

609
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: got to make sure that our team is playing better

610
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: than what it is right now, and we'll get there.

611
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: We've got the right chemistry in the locker room. We've

612
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: got good players. We've got to make sure that we

613
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: step up our game. We've got a good Charger team

614
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: coming in here is explosive really on both sides of

615
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: the ball. So we've got to make sure that we

616
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: take care of business. Coach Read, making sure everyone knows

617
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: and just step it up. This is a team though,

618
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: that's been to the AFC Championship to last three seasons.

619
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: They want to go to their third Super Bowl in

620
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: a row. Well, here's what I like to do. Sometimes

621
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: there's even different times in season. Just take the temperature

622
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: at the table and where we are with certain squads.

623
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: Is it the Chiefs and everybody else? Is it fair

624
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 1: to doubt that the Chiefs can go to the distance

625
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one? Where are you out in Kansas City?

626
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's fair to doubt that they can go

627
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: to distance. I don't think I got them winning in

628
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: you know, the super Bowl outright just right now after

629
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: two weeks of football, But I do think that there's

630
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: some concern they I think they're at times they can

631
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: get a little too I don't want to say arrogant

632
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: or pompous, as I think that's I think that's what

633
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: it feels like, or I think they feel like they

634
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: can overcome any setback, and there's always a matter of

635
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: time before those setbacks start to bring you back. You

636
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: have to play cleaner football because you're not going to

637
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: overcome everything. And I think this past week was indictitule.

638
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: It's a great take, Victor, and imagine the pressure puts

639
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: on the offense knowing that, oh my god, we fumbled it.

640
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: There's probably no way we're getting the ball back because

641
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: our defense cannot stop anything. And that's what I point to.

642
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: And it feels like I'm going back in the time

643
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: machine to a different era of talking about the Chiefs,

644
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: because I thought once they hired Steve spag Nol a

645
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, they tightened things up. Their run

646
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: defense got better. It's been atrocious and last week was unacceptable.

647
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: The Ravens ran for two hundred and fifty one yards

648
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: on them. You're not gonna win many football games when

649
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: you gi up two undred fifty one yards on the ground,

650
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: and they did so at will. Back in the day,

651
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs not back in the day. A couple year

652
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: they had a guy Derek Johnson who no matter what,

653
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: Derek Johnson would smell it out and would would be

654
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: able to tackle it. He would be able to get it,

655
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: he would clean it up. They've drafted a player, Nick Bolton,

656
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: at a Missouri. They're very high on him. I'm not

657
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: sure he's there yet. Willie Gay is a guy that

658
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: they love. He's not on the field, he's injured. I

659
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: think it is fair to doubt the Chiefs defense after

660
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: this performance. I also think let's give it some time

661
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: and maybe that was the outlier. Maybe Bolton developed into

662
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: that Derek Johnson player and you'd have to do it

663
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: quicker than maybe you want to give him the benefit

664
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: to do as a rookie, or maybe Willie Gay gets

665
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: back and does it. But like the days of last

666
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: year where it's Hey, Chris Jones or Frank Clark and

667
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: all those guys are on the field and those guys

668
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: couldn't stop squat, I have actual fears about that rush defense.

669
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: But if Gay and Bolton are ever on the field together,

670
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: there's at least a silver lining that maybe it gets better.

671
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: Just not sure it is, and you can cast out

672
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: on this team. You have to play defense to win

673
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You have to. The question is with

674
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, what's new, what's better? What did they ad?

675
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: I kind of say the same thing about the Packers

676
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: in the NFC is it's just the same deal. Like

677
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: we know that Kelsey's gonna Kelsey and Tyreek and Mahomes

678
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: is gonna do that's great? Is that enough? Baltimore runs

679
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: the ball, Cleveland runs the ball, Buffalo is learning how

680
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: to run the ball. I think the Raiders are gonna

681
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: run the ball when Jacobs gets back. So at what

682
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: point is it like kind of this George Carl SuperSonics

683
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: thing where like we're gonna score one hundred and thirty

684
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: five to your one hundred and thirty one. That's not sustainable.

685
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: And what's frustrating if you're a Chiefs fan. These are

686
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen problems. Yes, we fix this. It's over. We

687
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: talked for years as a show about Yeah, but that

688
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: Chiefs that Chiefs Deep. They figured it out. And it's

689
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: Tyrn Matthew here and it's Chris Jones. I don't see

690
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: those guys. Two weeks in, they're one and one, they

691
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: lost by one point and second on the road. They're

692
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. Will they win three playoff games? They

693
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: gotta be a little tougher. I know the offense is

694
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: go you gotta be a little tougher on defense. My god,

695
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: season is young. They've shown that they have some holes.

696
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: You're saying, like, what's better, Well, what's better with the

697
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: rest of the AFC. That's kind of where I go

698
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: to it. So like, who hasn't had their speed bumps early?

699
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: And it's a very young season. Again, two weeks they

700
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: can win before they go to the super Bowl. I

701
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: go to the super Bowl. Can you tell me that

702
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: they're not the favorites? Yeah, they're definitely still a favorite

703
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: to the AFC. Because I'm looking at the Bills. Can

704
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: I actually in good faith say the Bills are better

705
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: than the Chiefs? I cannot. The Ravens beat the Chiefs.

706
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: Can I say that I would favor them over the Chiefs?

707
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: I cannot. Can you explain why I'm with you? I

708
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: would Bills lost to the Steelers, and what I'm saying

709
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: to meet would be the Bills. Right, the Bills are

710
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: the bats. Who is going to come punch them in

711
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: the mouth? I don't know. Josh Allen took a huge

712
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: leap and he's regressed through two weeks of the season.

713
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: Great win over a Dolphins team who lost their starting quarterback,

714
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: incredible and dominant win against the Steelers. They didn't really

715
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: have it. It's just the truth and not that they

716
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: won't have it, but it's not that the Chiefs won't

717
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: have it either again. Super young season, so we'll see

718
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: how it unfolds. But I think with Kansas City specifically,

719
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: they brought in coach backs to be that. Well, he's

720
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: a blitz happy guy, right, he knows how to create

721
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: excited blitzes, create mismatches and attack attack, attack. Against Baltimore,

722
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: you can't do that. You can't send blitzes, do different holes.

723
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: That matchup for them is going to run right around it,

724
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: which is what he did have to. That's a terrible

725
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: matchup for them. And this team is really bad at

726
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: rush defense. And Chris Jones was their nose tackle. Now

727
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: he's playing defensive end. It's a second game ever a

728
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: defensive end. They had him turned around on some of

729
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: these players because of all the misdirection and what Lamar does.

730
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: So to your point, when you brought up the Ravens

731
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: like they did, just beat them, and if they're playing

732
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: again tomorrow, I'm not sure the Chiefs just wake up

733
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: and blow them out. I think have a hard time

734
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: with the two because the Rave might play the bad game.

735
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: It might be a bad matchup for the Chiefs. Maybe

736
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: if Baltimore, Like if Baltimore played the game in their

737
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: lives and they finally beat the Chiefs. Fine, they spotted

738
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: them two early interceptions and just pick six and they

739
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: still won. So if they're a bad matchup, what about

740
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: those maniacs in Cleveland? Like I get it, it's Mahomes

741
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: and Chiefs, Chiefs, Chiefs, But like on a given Sunday,

742
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: if you get punched in the mouth, I just wonder

743
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: if they're tough enough defensively. I don't know. G MFB

744
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: and Deiss. They have a big one against those Chargers

745
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: coming up, so we'll see. I've got a huge game

746
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: I know in the AFC, as I know West is good.

747
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: Now I've had that two going on. Right back on

748
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football last hour, we posted a very simple

749
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: question on Twitter. Who is the best running back in Dallas?

750
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: Is it Zeke to be name the highly paid guy

751
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: or Tony Pollard? You guys out there sixty five percent

752
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 1: if he said it is in fact Tony Pollard. What

753
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 1: do you make of that? Cow? Not surprised the people

754
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: who watch our show love watching the games, and when

755
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 1: you watch the Cowboys games, it's not a spicy take.

756
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: Pollard comes on the field, the offense goes. I think

757
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: he's the best back in Dallas right now, ya GM,

758
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: if you with your thoughts, everybody, let's get to some

759
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: fun here at the breakfast table. Victor Cruz joining us

760
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: not only today, but tomorrow and the day after. I

761
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: do believe if we don't scare them, and every time

762
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: we have a guest here, we like to give them

763
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: the floor for this little story time. Whatever you want

764
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: to talk about. We love that. Okay, story time now,

765
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: this is a story of I'm sure are people that

766
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: know me or know the Giants are extreme fans. I love.

767
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 1: The lighting is incredible. It's really happening today and I'm

768
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: just excited to share this story. Okay, So my rookie year,

769
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: I have three touchdowns in the first game, an extraordinary preseason.

770
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: I make the team. I get hurt after week five,

771
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: I don't continue with tall. I'm an injury reserve for

772
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: the rest of that year. Right, but they still love me.

773
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 1: I still had a tremendous this kind of breakout season

774
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: or breakout moment, if you will. My rookie season. I

775
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: come back the second year, not so much of a

776
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: great preseason where I'm doing something, some good things here

777
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: and there, but not the same opportunity. Things changed from

778
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: week to week or from year to year. In this circumstance.

779
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: Now I make the team, and I think there was

780
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: some controversy in the front office in terms of me

781
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: making that team the second year. I heard someone kind

782
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: of stuck their neck out for me. Thank you, whoever

783
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: you are. I won't put you on front street here today.

784
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: But I go on to make the team, and the

785
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: first their practice, I'm kind of not even going, you know,

786
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: not even thinking about it. It's excited that I made

787
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: the team. I'm sitting there and Coach Coffin before practice

788
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: even starts, he goes, Victor, come see me in my

789
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: office after practice, and I'm like, damn it, I don't

790
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: know what like this could be anything like I don't

791
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: know what this is. Anytime you go to Coach Coffin's office,

792
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: this could be scary. Right, So practice is happening, it's done.

793
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: I go right up to his office. I don't even shower.

794
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: I just went right upstairs and I sit in this

795
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 1: chair and he goes, he goes you kind of a

796
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: lackluster preseason. Were kept on this team because we believe

797
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: in you, but if you don't respond, if you don't

798
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: play well, there's a list of guys here on our

799
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: waiver wire that we're looking at picking up. So I

800
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 1: look him in the face and I was like, are

801
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: you telling me that you're gonna cut me if I

802
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: don't play well? And in so many words, he was

803
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: like yes. And they literally brought in Brandon Stokely that

804
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: week to kind of figure out our slot receiver position.

805
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: And so I went out that week and I knew

806
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: the task. I knew the job. I went out and

807
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: caught every ball. And then the following week is when

808
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: we had some injuries at the receiver position. I get

809
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: my first start Week three against the Philadelphia Eagles. I

810
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: have three catches, one hundred plus yards and two touchdowns

811
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: and the rest's absolute history. But there was that moment, kids,

812
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: I think that's the moment that you realize, Okay, my

813
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: job is up for grabs here. This moment could literally

814
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: slip away. My dreams of being in the NFL could

815
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: slip away if I don't do something about it. So

816
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: it's a lesson to all your kids out there. When

817
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: your backs are against the wall, it's totally up to you.

818
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: You have the power to do something about it. And

819
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: that's what I did. And hopefully all you guys can

820
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: learn from that and not get cut and go on

821
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: that waiver wide and put your bass foot forward and

822
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: just win and be yourself and play well and prove

823
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: that you can do whatever you want to do if

824
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: you put your mind to nice. It's a great story.

825
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: And I think more of your backstory because you know,

826
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: I know your story very well. You were suspended at

827
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: you Mass. You almost lost football there. You almost lost

828
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: football a bunch of times. To have Coffin look you

829
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: in the eye and say this could be it and

830
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: you're just not living up to the potential. Did you

831
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: start going through memory lane of all the things you

832
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: had to overcome to get where you were? I was like,

833
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: here we go again. This is just another hurdle, another

834
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: obstacle that I need to get over to get through

835
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: to make it to my goal. And I just knew

836
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: that coaches like coach Coffin wouldn't be telling me that

837
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: if he didn't believe in me, and to some capacity,

838
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: he would have just cut. He would have just cut me.

839
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: They don't have these conversations with guys. You know what

840
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 1: I mean, You're just gone, like the grim Reaper comes in,

841
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: we need your playbook. You're gone. So the fact that

842
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: he even brought me in his office after making the team,

843
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 1: when I'm sitting back thinking like, oh, this is peachy.

844
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 1: Let's figure out week to see what's going on, He's like, look,

845
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: I know you made this team, but you could not

846
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: be on this team tomorrow if you don't shape up,

847
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: if you don't prove or show some of the things

848
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: that you were showing a year ago this year. So

849
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: that literally was a wake up call for me, and

850
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: I remember that next day at practice. The very first

851
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: catch I had was like a one hand catch up

852
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 1: the sideline, just kind of innately. It wasn't like trying

853
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: to do it because I got this conversation, but it

854
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: was just like a moment and Coach was like, Okay,

855
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: that speech works, like something worked, something clicked. The slide

856
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: indoors of it about where your career could go and work.

857
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: If Coach Coughlin does not have that meaning with you

858
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 1: in his office, are you at this table right now?

859
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think so at all.

860
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: I just think I needed to hear that for whatever reason,

861
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: whatever the journey, you know, however the journey laid out,

862
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: that's how it laid out. But I needed to hear

863
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,399
Speaker 1: Coughlin say those words to me to kind of light

864
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: a match or a light of fire up under me

865
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: a little bit more than it already was. I understood,

866
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 1: I'm undrafted, second year, this is if, these are big moments,

867
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: but I just needed another little torch up under me

868
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: to light it to get me going. A good relationship

869
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: with coach all the time. He called me a couple

870
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: of months ago about talking about the Jay fun Galla

871
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: and different things he wants to do. And I've always

872
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: been connected to Coach Kauflinman. He's just he's one of

873
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 1: the best human beings. He's always called me. He's always

874
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: even as a player when I was going through my

875
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: ups and downs, He's always just been there to ask

876
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: me the normal human being type questions, not like hey,

877
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,439
Speaker 1: what are you doing on this play? Why aren't you playing?

878
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: How's your knee? How are you feeling? It was more

879
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: so like how's your daughter? You know, how are you

880
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: at home as a father because she was maybe I

881
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: don't know, four or five at the time, and I'm

882
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: going through these injuries, you know, going through the ups

883
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: and downs of being in the NFL, and he's worried

884
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: about how I am at home, and that was that

885
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: was the thing that kind of turned it for me.

886
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: And Coach was like, Okay, he's really a player's coach,

887
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 1: although from the outside looking and may not appear that way,

888
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: but he really loves and endors his players. I mean,

889
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 1: Eli could tell you that. I mean at his retirement,

890
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: when Coach was leaving, Eli was in literal tears. He

891
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 1: was a second father to him, so like he had

892
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: that that feeling, you know, to a lot of the

893
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: play run that's awesome, And You'll be there this weekend

894
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 1: for Eli. Right, I'll be there this weekend for Eli.

895
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: There's so much going on Saturday, there's a party for Eli.

896
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: We're doing a bunch of things. I'm just trying not

897
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: to get pranked. I feel like there's gonna be Yeah,

898
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: it's gonna be some things happening. I gotta keep my

899
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: dabbers up. But Sunday they're retiring Eli Manning's number. I'm

900
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,359

903
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: headlock or something. You know. I'm excited for all of it.

904
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm excited for all of it. Later. The boat story

Speaker 1: And I'll get into it more Friday. But the boots

908
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: that are Della's wearing, they're my boots I gave him

909
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 1: in the photo. I don't know if I should probably

910
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: be claiming these boots, but um on the plane there,

911
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: He's like, Yo, I need something else I need. I

912
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,839
