Ian Rappaport, Good morning to you, our 35 00:01:48,788 --> 00:01:51,908 Speaker 3: NFLE network insider assigned to us this morning rap sheet. 36 00:01:51,988 --> 00:01:54,908 Speaker 3: We are choosing to go on the side of joy 37 00:01:54,988 --> 00:01:57,308 Speaker 3: for the New York Jets. What is the latest with 38 00:01:57,388 --> 00:02:00,188 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, who might not be feeling his joyous this morning. 39 00:02:00,468 --> 00:02:02,668 Speaker 6: No, I would not imagine Aaron Rodgers is feeling very 40 00:02:02,748 --> 00:02:04,788 Speaker 6: much joined probably won't for the next nine ten months 41 00:02:04,828 --> 00:02:07,348 Speaker 6: as he recovers from that torn Achilles which we learned 42 00:02:07,428 --> 00:02:10,748 Speaker 6: yesterday via an MRI it is in fact completely torny 43 00:02:10,868 --> 00:02:14,348 Speaker 6: is out for the season yesterday afternoon was officially placed 44 00:02:14,388 --> 00:02:16,708 Speaker 6: on injured reserve, which doesn't always mean you were going 45 00:02:16,748 --> 00:02:18,308 Speaker 6: to be out for the season, but in this case 46 00:02:18,708 --> 00:02:19,708 Speaker 6: it certainly does. 47 00:02:19,868 --> 00:02:20,628 Speaker 5: And you guys are right. 48 00:02:20,708 --> 00:02:24,228 Speaker 6: Robert Salas struck the right tony yesterday saying he doesn't 49 00:02:24,268 --> 00:02:27,268 Speaker 6: understand why anyone puts an obituary onto his name. He 50 00:02:27,348 --> 00:02:29,708 Speaker 6: talked about how they have fifty two other really good 51 00:02:29,708 --> 00:02:32,548 Speaker 6: players on the roster, plus a practice squad, plus a 52 00:02:32,668 --> 00:02:36,788 Speaker 6: quarterback they believe in. And this is not necessarily lip service. 53 00:02:36,868 --> 00:02:39,268 Speaker 6: This is a quarterback where they drafted number two overall 54 00:02:39,508 --> 00:02:42,228 Speaker 6: who did have a winning record in his starts last year, 55 00:02:42,308 --> 00:02:45,428 Speaker 6: despite having some clear struggles. And if they were wondering 56 00:02:45,468 --> 00:02:48,988 Speaker 6: about a formula for making this work without Aaron Rodgers, 57 00:02:48,988 --> 00:02:51,028 Speaker 6: they literally had it on Monday night because he went 58 00:02:51,108 --> 00:02:54,548 Speaker 6: down four plays in and they won, including some great 59 00:02:54,588 --> 00:02:57,948 Speaker 6: defense a big special teams touchdown. But make no mistake, guys, 60 00:02:57,948 --> 00:03:00,268 Speaker 6: that Jets are going to be looking at some quarterbacks. 61 00:03:00,508 --> 00:03:03,268 Speaker 6: As Robert Salace said, looking through some things, I believe 62 00:03:03,348 --> 00:03:07,188 Speaker 6: is how eloquently said it. This is Zach Wilson's team. 63 00:03:07,548 --> 00:03:08,668 Speaker 5: He has been under the. 64 00:03:08,548 --> 00:03:12,028 Speaker 6: Watchful eye of now highly paid quarterbacks coach Aaron Rodgers 65 00:03:12,068 --> 00:03:15,228 Speaker 6: for the spring and the summer. Rogers took a special 66 00:03:15,268 --> 00:03:15,748 Speaker 6: interest in him. 67 00:03:15,748 --> 00:03:16,788 Speaker 5: They have a good relationship. 68 00:03:16,908 --> 00:03:18,868 Speaker 6: He's going to do everything he can to make sure 69 00:03:18,988 --> 00:03:23,268 Speaker 6: Zach Wilson is successful, and so so much rides on 70 00:03:23,308 --> 00:03:24,068 Speaker 6: that very fact. 71 00:03:24,548 --> 00:03:25,228 Speaker 4: It really does. 72 00:03:25,628 --> 00:03:28,188 Speaker 3: And the New York Jets get the Dallas Cowboys on 73 00:03:28,268 --> 00:03:31,348 Speaker 3: the road treatment this weekend on CBS. It's the four 74 00:03:31,468 --> 00:03:34,508 Speaker 3: thirty Sunday special. I know Zach Wilson. 75 00:03:34,588 --> 00:03:35,148 Speaker 4: Good luck to you. 76 00:03:35,228 --> 00:03:36,948 Speaker 3: My friend Rahps, she talked to you in a little bit. 77 00:03:37,068 --> 00:03:39,788 Speaker 3: Ian just mentioned it. Robert Sallis spoke yesterday about his 78 00:03:39,868 --> 00:03:41,228 Speaker 3: team's chances moving. 79 00:03:40,948 --> 00:03:43,308 Speaker 4: Forward without their four time MVP at quarterback. 80 00:03:44,228 --> 00:03:46,108 Speaker 7: I don't know why people are trying to put an 81 00:03:46,108 --> 00:03:49,468 Speaker 7: obituary under our team name. Aaron is an unbelievable piece 82 00:03:49,508 --> 00:03:52,188 Speaker 7: to this whole thing, and we love him. But I 83 00:03:52,228 --> 00:03:54,748 Speaker 7: think there's there's fifty two other guys in the locker room, 84 00:03:54,788 --> 00:03:57,188 Speaker 7: plus the sixteen practice squad, guys that believe that we 85 00:03:57,228 --> 00:03:58,628 Speaker 7: can do a hell of a lot of good things here. 86 00:03:58,788 --> 00:04:00,908 Speaker 7: You know, we've got championship caliber defense, We've got great 87 00:04:00,908 --> 00:04:03,068 Speaker 7: skill guys on the offensive side of the ball. Our 88 00:04:03,108 --> 00:04:05,388 Speaker 7: old line is going to continue to gel and get better. 89 00:04:05,388 --> 00:04:07,508 Speaker 7: But we're excited about our group. So there's still a 90 00:04:07,548 --> 00:04:08,988 Speaker 7: lot of faith in the locker room on the things 91 00:04:08,988 --> 00:04:11,108 Speaker 7: that we can still accomplish this year. So it's while 92 00:04:11,108 --> 00:04:13,668 Speaker 7: the outside world can go ahead and write whatever story 93 00:04:13,668 --> 00:04:16,028 Speaker 7: they want to write, there's still the true story being 94 00:04:16,028 --> 00:04:16,868 Speaker 7: read in this building. 95 00:04:17,548 --> 00:04:19,948 Speaker 3: Yeah, their wall is unfinished, the wall that we saw 96 00:04:20,028 --> 00:04:22,948 Speaker 3: on hard knocks. The coach wants the locker room to 97 00:04:22,988 --> 00:04:25,028 Speaker 3: believe those things that he just said on the back end, 98 00:04:25,188 --> 00:04:28,068 Speaker 3: But can the Jets actually rebound from this without Aaron Rodgers, Kyle, 99 00:04:28,108 --> 00:04:29,948 Speaker 3: there is actual football to be played with a different 100 00:04:30,028 --> 00:04:31,588 Speaker 3: quarterback besides Aaron Rodgers. 101 00:04:31,828 --> 00:04:31,988 Speaker 8: Down. 102 00:04:32,228 --> 00:04:33,788 Speaker 1: They take that for a second, though, hold on, I 103 00:04:33,868 --> 00:04:35,228 Speaker 1: want to get to this early and I want us 104 00:04:35,228 --> 00:04:37,628 Speaker 1: to be early in this is a show. I strongly, 105 00:04:37,828 --> 00:04:40,348 Speaker 1: strongly believe that Aaron Rodgers will be the Jets quarterback 106 00:04:40,348 --> 00:04:42,348 Speaker 1: next year. I think he is coming back. I think 107 00:04:42,388 --> 00:04:43,868 Speaker 1: he will rehab. I think we have to do I 108 00:04:43,908 --> 00:04:45,508 Speaker 1: do not think he's retiring. A lot of people say 109 00:04:45,548 --> 00:04:47,108 Speaker 1: he's done, he's going to be forty. I do not 110 00:04:47,148 --> 00:04:49,508 Speaker 1: think that. I've heard people say he is a quarterback. 111 00:04:49,548 --> 00:04:52,348 Speaker 1: About reading the signs of life, and when you get 112 00:04:52,388 --> 00:04:54,628 Speaker 1: hurt in five seconds, it's the signs telling you it's 113 00:04:54,628 --> 00:04:55,148 Speaker 1: time to be done. 114 00:04:55,148 --> 00:04:55,668 Speaker 5: I disagree. 115 00:04:55,708 --> 00:04:58,348 Speaker 1: I think he's about overcoming obstacles, doing things on his term. 116 00:04:58,428 --> 00:05:00,548 Speaker 1: I think he decided in that blue tent that he 117 00:05:00,588 --> 00:05:02,548 Speaker 1: will be coming back next year, And when we are 118 00:05:02,588 --> 00:05:04,428 Speaker 1: sitting here in September next year, I believe Veran I 119 00:05:04,588 --> 00:05:06,028 Speaker 1: will be the starting quarterback for New York j just 120 00:05:06,068 --> 00:05:08,588 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. Feel very strongly and I want 121 00:05:08,708 --> 00:05:11,148 Speaker 1: that to be said clearly. So next year, when we're right, 122 00:05:11,428 --> 00:05:14,068 Speaker 1: we'll know it's In the meantime, it's gonna be really rough. 123 00:05:14,468 --> 00:05:15,868 Speaker 5: I was asked to toa do you think they know 124 00:05:15,908 --> 00:05:17,268 Speaker 5: what they have? And Zach Wilson, I. 125 00:05:17,268 --> 00:05:18,708 Speaker 1: Think they know exactly what they have, and I think 126 00:05:18,708 --> 00:05:20,428 Speaker 1: that's why they got Rogers, and I think that's why 127 00:05:20,468 --> 00:05:22,468 Speaker 1: they did this and that I also think I think 128 00:05:22,548 --> 00:05:24,868 Speaker 1: they might have Eric Dickerson at running back like that 129 00:05:25,028 --> 00:05:26,628 Speaker 1: Breese Hall experienced the other night. 130 00:05:26,868 --> 00:05:27,868 Speaker 9: What the hell was that? 131 00:05:28,188 --> 00:05:30,788 Speaker 1: It's way below the fold because of everything else that happened, 132 00:05:30,948 --> 00:05:32,388 Speaker 1: but he looked electric. 133 00:05:32,748 --> 00:05:33,628 Speaker 5: They have an offensive line. 134 00:05:33,628 --> 00:05:35,068 Speaker 1: I don't know if they can pass protect or not, 135 00:05:35,348 --> 00:05:36,908 Speaker 1: but they could run and this. 136 00:05:36,868 --> 00:05:40,028 Speaker 5: Guy, this guy's dynamite. 137 00:05:39,108 --> 00:05:42,588 Speaker 1: Young talent for players. Zach Wilson, I don't know if 138 00:05:42,588 --> 00:05:47,548 Speaker 1: he's one of them. But handoff, handoff, handoff, play defense, handoff, handoff. 139 00:05:47,308 --> 00:05:49,428 Speaker 5: And can we should have done this yesterday? Can we 140 00:05:49,508 --> 00:05:50,148 Speaker 5: have the clip? 141 00:05:50,268 --> 00:05:53,228 Speaker 1: We just give us just a little taste back in 142 00:05:53,308 --> 00:05:56,788 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine.

Trent went down, Kurt came out, and. 148 00:06:08,828 --> 00:06:10,468 Speaker 1: Now he's our colleague and he has movies and all 149 00:06:10,468 --> 00:06:11,068 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. 150 00:06:11,068 --> 00:06:14,068 Speaker 5: I don't know if Zach Wilson, I don't know. Let's 151 00:06:14,068 --> 00:06:15,988 Speaker 5: go see there was mystery about Kurt. 152 00:06:16,028 --> 00:06:16,748 Speaker 1: We hadn't seen him. 153 00:06:17,348 --> 00:06:19,708 Speaker 5: We've seen some, Zach. It's a little different. 154 00:06:20,028 --> 00:06:21,788 Speaker 9: But Robert Salad, we will. 155 00:06:21,668 --> 00:06:25,468 Speaker 1: Rally around Breese Hall and we will play good football. 156 00:06:25,468 --> 00:06:29,508 Speaker 5: What do you say right here?

Think about that locker room 167 00:06:51,308 --> 00:06:54,028 Speaker 5: and how they rallied together around each other in real time, 168 00:06:54,188 --> 00:06:56,068 Speaker 5: around Zach and found a way to beat the Bills. 169 00:06:56,108 --> 00:06:59,068 Speaker 5: This wasn't beating a you know, a smaller team that 170 00:06:59,228 --> 00:07:01,028 Speaker 5: was coming from. This is our art rival Bills who 171 00:07:01,068 --> 00:07:03,028 Speaker 5: were division champions two years in a row, and with 172 00:07:03,148 --> 00:07:05,868 Speaker 5: Zach Wilson, they came back from points and they've made 173 00:07:05,948 --> 00:07:08,188 Speaker 5: up after finding out the news that hey, your quarterback 174 00:07:08,308 --> 00:07:11,068 Speaker 5: is most likely done for the season, I know the reports, 175 00:07:11,108 --> 00:07:13,828 Speaker 5: he's not officially it's gonna be. And then they come 176 00:07:13,868 --> 00:07:16,068 Speaker 5: out the next day and you know, Sala could have said, 177 00:07:16,068 --> 00:07:18,668 Speaker 5: we're gonna explore every option we possibly can and fans, 178 00:07:18,748 --> 00:07:20,628 Speaker 5: we are going to be dedicated to that. Don't you worry. 179 00:07:20,668 --> 00:07:23,028 Speaker 5: We're gonna call on Matthew Stafford, We're gonna call on 180 00:07:23,108 --> 00:07:25,028 Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins who has a one year deal, and we're 181 00:07:25,068 --> 00:07:27,748 Speaker 5: gonna see if the Vikings will get We're gonna stand 182 00:07:27,748 --> 00:07:30,348 Speaker 5: behind Zach. And why are you writing at otlebituary on us? 183 00:07:30,628 --> 00:07:32,548 Speaker 5: Somebody said for that. You know, this is gonna be 184 00:07:32,548 --> 00:07:34,668 Speaker 5: a lot about Sala right now, and I think Salah's 185 00:07:34,668 --> 00:07:36,108 Speaker 5: gonna be important. I also think to me a lot 186 00:07:36,108 --> 00:07:38,988 Speaker 5: about Nathaniel Hackett right now. Yeah, this is a guy 187 00:07:39,108 --> 00:07:41,588 Speaker 5: who flew under the radar. Okay, I'll latch back on 188 00:07:41,708 --> 00:07:44,628 Speaker 5: with Rogers and I'll rehab Mike image and maybe I'll 189 00:07:44,628 --> 00:07:47,068 Speaker 5: get some positive buzz, but it's mostly gonna be Rogers, 190 00:07:47,108 --> 00:07:49,428 Speaker 5: and I'll be there with him. Here's the full kitchen sink. 191 00:07:49,628 --> 00:07:51,668 Speaker 5: When Sala took the job, he said he gave the 192 00:07:51,788 --> 00:07:54,868 Speaker 5: offensive duties to Hacket. It's Hackett's offense. 193 00:07:55,108 --> 00:07:55,188 Speaker 1: Now. 194 00:07:55,268 --> 00:07:57,228 Speaker 5: Hacket's gonna be able to prove. Okay, it didn't work 195 00:07:57,268 --> 00:07:59,988 Speaker 5: in Russell Wilson, and it didn't work in Denver. But 196 00:08:00,108 --> 00:08:02,148 Speaker 5: if he can get this other Wilson, if he can 197 00:08:02,188 --> 00:08:04,988 Speaker 5: get Zach Wilson going, and they can get an actual going, 198 00:08:05,148 --> 00:08:07,508 Speaker 5: you better believe we'll start forgetting about what happened out 199 00:08:07,548 --> 00:08:10,308 Speaker 5: there in the Rocky Mountains. We're gonna start talking about 200 00:08:10,388 --> 00:08:13,268 Speaker 5: what a wonderful job Nathaniel Hackett did. He's not anything yet. 201 00:08:13,428 --> 00:08:15,188 Speaker 5: This is an opportunity for him to show his worth 202 00:08:15,228 --> 00:08:17,268 Speaker 5: and it's an opportunity for Zack Wilson to also rehab 203 00:08:17,348 --> 00:08:19,188 Speaker 5: his image. I think it could be a cool story. 204 00:08:19,388 --> 00:08:20,388 Speaker 5: I don't know how far it goes. 205 00:08:20,548 --> 00:08:21,468 Speaker 4: I love where you're going with that. 206 00:08:21,508 --> 00:08:23,468 Speaker 2: Because you have Hackey, you have Todd Down who came 207 00:08:23,508 --> 00:08:26,148 Speaker 2: over from the Tennessee Titans, both of them leave Titans 208 00:08:26,228 --> 00:08:28,588 Speaker 2: lost seven straight last year, he had whatever went on 209 00:08:28,708 --> 00:08:31,028 Speaker 2: on a plane the whole nine, and then Hackett. 210 00:08:31,068 --> 00:08:33,108 Speaker 5: You mixed that. And this opportunity is one thing. 211 00:08:33,148 --> 00:08:35,388 Speaker 2: When Rodgers is a coach is another thing where now 212 00:08:35,468 --> 00:08:37,868 Speaker 2: here's where you earn your checks to go coach Zack 213 00:08:37,908 --> 00:08:40,188 Speaker 2: Wilson in this offense and try to figure it out. 214 00:08:40,748 --> 00:08:42,828 Speaker 2: But I look at Zach Wilson and yes, he hasn't 215 00:08:42,868 --> 00:08:45,508 Speaker 2: been good in his Jets career so far, but the 216 00:08:45,748 --> 00:08:50,308 Speaker 2: entire preseason offseason he got a chance to be around greatness. 217 00:08:50,348 --> 00:08:52,668 Speaker 2: Does that mean now, all of a sudden, just because 218 00:08:52,708 --> 00:08:54,708 Speaker 2: he was hanging out with Aaron Rodgers in the meeting 219 00:08:54,788 --> 00:08:56,988 Speaker 2: room or he was joking with him on the sideline 220 00:08:57,068 --> 00:08:59,468 Speaker 2: during a preseason game, that now he's gonna be the 221 00:08:59,588 --> 00:09:00,988 Speaker 2: next great thing, and he's gonna. 222 00:09:00,788 --> 00:09:01,428 Speaker 5: Be Kurt Warner. 223 00:09:01,748 --> 00:09:02,508 Speaker 4: Absolutely not. 224 00:09:02,708 --> 00:09:05,108 Speaker 2: He can still go out there and throw three interceptions 225 00:09:05,148 --> 00:09:08,108 Speaker 2: in the game and be bad. But you hang out 226 00:09:08,148 --> 00:09:11,188 Speaker 2: with greatness enough, maybe it rubs off on you. Aaron 227 00:09:11,268 --> 00:09:13,908 Speaker 2: Rodgers continues to drop gyms, maybe he scoops up a 228 00:09:13,948 --> 00:09:16,108 Speaker 2: few of them and are able to put him in play. 229 00:09:16,348 --> 00:09:18,948 Speaker 2: The expectation wasn't for Zach Wilson to play this year, 230 00:09:19,068 --> 00:09:21,308 Speaker 2: but you look at what the NFL is. You never 231 00:09:21,428 --> 00:09:23,948 Speaker 2: know when your opportunity is gonna come. For some it 232 00:09:24,068 --> 00:09:26,148 Speaker 2: comes a lot sooner, for others it comes later. On 233 00:09:26,348 --> 00:09:29,748 Speaker 2: Gino Smith last year took advantage of his opportunity. When 234 00:09:29,788 --> 00:09:32,588 Speaker 2: you let too many opportunities slip by, the next thing 235 00:09:32,628 --> 00:09:34,708 Speaker 2: you know, you're out of the league and you're hoping 236 00:09:34,788 --> 00:09:37,748 Speaker 2: that somebody will sign. You heard RG three talk about 237 00:09:37,788 --> 00:09:40,588 Speaker 2: it yesterday. He put himself, he put cam and he said, 238 00:09:40,788 --> 00:09:41,708 Speaker 2: we could still be playing. 239 00:09:41,748 --> 00:09:42,548 Speaker 5: We'd be a distraction. 240 00:09:42,788 --> 00:09:44,988 Speaker 2: I don't know about that, But at the same time, 241 00:09:45,188 --> 00:09:48,068 Speaker 2: you look at it, when those things go by, you're like, dang, 242 00:09:48,428 --> 00:09:50,668 Speaker 2: but I was the starter. I got a second go round. 243 00:09:50,708 --> 00:09:52,708 Speaker 2: I got a chance to be around Aaron Rodgers for 244 00:09:52,868 --> 00:09:55,308 Speaker 2: Zach Wilson. Obviously we all know it. 245 00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:58,028 Speaker 5: This is a big moment. He has to take advantage 246 00:09:58,068 --> 00:09:58,268 Speaker 5: of it. 247 00:09:58,548 --> 00:10:02,388 Speaker 2: Something had to transpire throughout that preseason, that being around Rogers, 248 00:10:02,468 --> 00:10:04,628 Speaker 2: at being around Hacket, that learning the game from a 249 00:10:04,668 --> 00:10:05,348 Speaker 2: different angle. 250 00:10:05,668 --> 00:10:07,228 Speaker 5: He has to be better this year. 251 00:10:07,468 --> 00:10:10,788 Speaker 2: And I love rallying around him as saying we believe 252 00:10:10,828 --> 00:10:13,188 Speaker 2: in him, we trust him. We've watched him grow throughout 253 00:10:13,228 --> 00:10:15,188 Speaker 2: this all season. He has to put it in play 254 00:10:15,228 --> 00:10:16,588 Speaker 2: because I don't know if there's going to be another 255 00:10:16,828 --> 00:10:17,748 Speaker 2: opportunity to do so. 256 00:10:18,068 --> 00:10:19,068 Speaker 4: I look at one guy. 257 00:10:19,308 --> 00:10:21,348 Speaker 3: I look at the one guy that hard knocks gave 258 00:10:21,388 --> 00:10:24,108 Speaker 3: the Tony soprano treatment too, and I thought at the time, 259 00:10:24,268 --> 00:10:26,388 Speaker 3: editorially it was not the right selection when they gave 260 00:10:26,468 --> 00:10:28,108 Speaker 3: him the Tony soprano treatment, I thought it should have 261 00:10:28,108 --> 00:10:28,668 Speaker 3: been Rogers. 262 00:10:28,828 --> 00:10:30,548 Speaker 4: But watching Robert Sala. 263 00:10:30,348 --> 00:10:32,628 Speaker 3: Go through all of the emotions that we saw on 264 00:10:32,708 --> 00:10:34,908 Speaker 3: Monday night, I felt like I was living. I mean, 265 00:10:34,988 --> 00:10:37,668 Speaker 3: this is immediately after the injury. This is let me 266 00:10:37,748 --> 00:10:40,388 Speaker 3: coach through this game. I'm fighting for my guys. There 267 00:10:40,468 --> 00:10:44,188 Speaker 3: is jubilation, there is frustration, there is shock. This man 268 00:10:44,348 --> 00:10:46,588 Speaker 3: wears his emotions on his sleeve. I respect that about 269 00:10:46,668 --> 00:10:48,868 Speaker 3: him as a coach, as a human being. He has 270 00:10:48,908 --> 00:10:51,988 Speaker 3: been honest with everybody moving forward. I mean I felt 271 00:10:51,988 --> 00:10:54,268 Speaker 3: like I was on this wild ride. Respect the director 272 00:10:54,348 --> 00:10:56,508 Speaker 3: for showing him as much as he did, and then 273 00:10:56,548 --> 00:10:59,188 Speaker 3: the celebration, and that's how it ends. If anyone is 274 00:10:59,268 --> 00:11:01,428 Speaker 3: going to align this team properly, you can do the 275 00:11:01,628 --> 00:11:02,148 Speaker 3: x's and o's. 276 00:11:02,148 --> 00:11:02,948 Speaker 4: You can do this, you do that. 277 00:11:03,268 --> 00:11:06,148 Speaker 3: This is a long emotional season for anyone who was involved. 278 00:11:06,188 --> 00:11:08,348 Speaker 3: We saw it with the Bills last year. If this 279 00:11:08,628 --> 00:11:10,788 Speaker 3: man can get this team on the right track moving 280 00:11:10,828 --> 00:11:13,388 Speaker 3: forward emotionally, he's a hell of a head coach. 281 00:11:13,468 --> 00:11:15,348 Speaker 4: And that's not you know, have a remarkable season. 282 00:11:15,388 --> 00:11:17,308 Speaker 3: It's get him back on track and get the players 283 00:11:17,308 --> 00:11:19,628 Speaker 3: in a right mind space without Aaron Rodgers. 284 00:11:20,748 --> 00:11:23,788 Speaker 5: Time for today's wake up Call, presented by Verizon. You 285 00:11:23,828 --> 00:11:27,788 Speaker 5: know I've got a podcast, Kyle. It's called The Season 286 00:11:27,948 --> 00:11:30,628 Speaker 5: with Peter Schrager. It's hard to book guests, it really talking. 287 00:11:31,228 --> 00:11:33,428 Speaker 5: You're asking him for so hard they're being paid. 288 00:11:33,508 --> 00:11:35,268 Speaker 4: Oh Peter, how hard was it to get this? Guessed? 289 00:11:35,428 --> 00:11:38,388 Speaker 5: It was pretty hard. He's a pretty famous comedian and actor. 290 00:11:38,428 --> 00:11:40,668 Speaker 5: His name is Hank Azaria. But I had to get 291 00:11:40,748 --> 00:11:44,268 Speaker 5: Hank on the podcast as an instant reaction guest because 292 00:11:44,348 --> 00:11:47,868 Speaker 5: of the Aaron Rodgers injury. After the injury, there's this 293 00:11:47,988 --> 00:11:51,068 Speaker 5: doom and gloom and there's this oh, it's woe is us, 294 00:11:51,388 --> 00:11:55,308 Speaker 5: But Hank is usually pretty optimistic. He wasn't here. Let's 295 00:11:55,348 --> 00:11:59,028 Speaker 5: listen to Hank's Areas podcast of appearance on my pod. 296 00:11:59,108 --> 00:12:02,348 Speaker 5: When I asked him about the injury to Aaron Rodgers, 297 00:12:02,788 --> 00:12:05,748 Speaker 5: I texted you that too. Yep, that's that's really no. 298 00:12:05,988 --> 00:12:08,108 Speaker 10: You start to kind of believe it. Mike Puma wrote 299 00:12:08,148 --> 00:12:09,788 Speaker 10: a book about the Mets, and I wrote the forward 300 00:12:09,828 --> 00:12:11,948 Speaker 10: and I wrote about being Mets, Jets, Nicks and how 301 00:12:11,988 --> 00:12:14,468 Speaker 10: it's actually made me quite a negative person. 302 00:12:14,548 --> 00:12:15,228 Speaker 4: It really had. 303 00:12:15,708 --> 00:12:18,628 Speaker 10: It's affected me genuinely, like in business, you know, trying 304 00:12:18,628 --> 00:12:20,988 Speaker 10: to get projects made in show business is very hard, 305 00:12:21,428 --> 00:12:24,188 Speaker 10: and at the first sign of trouble, I'm always like, well, 306 00:12:24,268 --> 00:12:26,268 Speaker 10: that's it whenever it's not going to happen, and my 307 00:12:26,388 --> 00:12:28,988 Speaker 10: partners are always like, why are you so negative. I'm like, 308 00:12:29,268 --> 00:12:31,588 Speaker 10: because I'm a Mets, Jets and Knicks fan, that's why. 309 00:12:31,708 --> 00:12:34,308 Speaker 10: And they laugh and I say, no, I'm not kidding. 310 00:12:35,228 --> 00:12:39,308 Speaker 10: I'm absolutely true. I have come to expect Aaron Rodgers' 311 00:12:40,108 --> 00:12:42,468 Speaker 10: outcomes like that, like that's it, We're done. 312 00:12:42,988 --> 00:12:43,388 Speaker 4: Forget it. 313 00:12:43,828 --> 00:12:44,668 Speaker 10: Can't have nice things. 314 00:12:45,428 --> 00:12:47,308 Speaker 5: That's the light at the end. That's the light at 315 00:12:47,348 --> 00:12:51,068 Speaker 5: the end. Can't have nice things? Because is awesome. The 316 00:12:51,308 --> 00:12:53,188 Speaker 5: podcast is great. I mean, he goes deep into the 317 00:12:53,268 --> 00:12:56,628 Speaker 5: two thousand and seven Mets collapse. He's talking about how 318 00:12:56,708 --> 00:12:58,388 Speaker 5: the Jets, you know, every time of time they got 319 00:12:58,388 --> 00:13:00,388 Speaker 5: to the AC Championship game. Of course they lost in 320 00:13:00,428 --> 00:13:04,268 Speaker 5: the big spot. Your thoughts on a Jets fan saying quote, 321 00:13:04,668 --> 00:13:07,148 Speaker 5: we can't have nice things, you know. 322 00:13:07,468 --> 00:13:09,108 Speaker 3: First of all, it answers a question that I've always 323 00:13:09,148 --> 00:13:12,308 Speaker 3: had about fans of New York sports teams Mets, Jets, Knicks, 324 00:13:12,388 --> 00:13:14,868 Speaker 3: for example, isake which came first, the chicken or the egg? 325 00:13:14,908 --> 00:13:17,668 Speaker 3: Were you a pessimistic person and then you chose your team? 326 00:13:17,948 --> 00:13:20,828 Speaker 3: Or did your teams make you a pessimistic person. Hank's 327 00:13:20,828 --> 00:13:22,468 Speaker 3: aria is telling us that he used to be like 328 00:13:22,548 --> 00:13:25,388 Speaker 3: all puppies and rainbows, and now the Mets, Jets and 329 00:13:25,428 --> 00:13:27,788 Speaker 3: the Knicks. I heard nets, but it's Nicks they made 330 00:13:27,868 --> 00:13:29,868 Speaker 3: him this way. I guess I'm sorry, Hank, for you 331 00:13:29,988 --> 00:13:31,748 Speaker 3: and your loss and all your heartbreak over the years. 332 00:13:31,988 --> 00:13:33,148 Speaker 4: It makes sense. I'm with you. 333 00:13:33,228 --> 00:13:34,708 Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of fan bases that could 334 00:13:34,708 --> 00:13:37,828 Speaker 3: claim ownership of that, but this particularly feels appropriate. 335 00:13:38,028 --> 00:13:41,748 Speaker 5: Yeah, exact, this. 336 00:13:41,828 --> 00:13:44,188 Speaker 1: Whole thing is so overblown. The New York Jets have 337 00:13:44,268 --> 00:13:46,388 Speaker 1: probably five or six of the top one hundred players 338 00:13:46,388 --> 00:13:48,628 Speaker 1: in the NFL.

And it's like when David Robinson had ninety 512 00:20:45,988 --> 00:20:47,588 Speaker 1: one points in the last game of the season. Was 513 00:20:47,668 --> 00:20:49,628 Speaker 1: bs if you're going to get a Tyreek in sixteen? 514 00:20:49,668 --> 00:20:51,348 Speaker 1: But these corners, can we stop them? I mean he's 515 00:20:51,388 --> 00:20:51,828 Speaker 1: really fast. 516 00:20:51,908 --> 00:20:53,788 Speaker 5: We get it. A lot of players are fast. Stop them. 517 00:20:53,868 --> 00:20:56,388 Speaker 5: I want to say it was George Gervin and David 518 00:20:56,468 --> 00:20:58,708 Speaker 5: Thompson the last day of the season in the ABA 519 00:20:58,828 --> 00:21:01,628 Speaker 5: in the seventies and they both scored like sixty seven points. 520 00:21:01,788 --> 00:21:05,428 Speaker 5: You don't want that. You want pure team and make 521 00:21:05,668 --> 00:21:08,668 Speaker 5: decisive Dolphins were the best team in the AFC East 522 00:21:09,068 --> 00:21:11,668 Speaker 5: this week, and that includes a Jets team that came 523 00:21:11,708 --> 00:21:13,908 Speaker 5: all the way back, and the Bills looked listless, and 524 00:21:14,028 --> 00:21:17,228 Speaker 5: the Patriots fought hard, didn't get it done. I think 525 00:21:17,308 --> 00:21:19,388 Speaker 5: with the injury to Zach Wilson, it's fair to say 526 00:21:19,428 --> 00:21:21,788 Speaker 5: if I was to restructure my power rankings, I wouldn't 527 00:21:21,788 --> 00:21:23,268 Speaker 5: have the Jets in that top two. I would have 528 00:21:23,308 --> 00:21:25,308 Speaker 5: the Bills and the Dolphins, just based on what we 529 00:21:25,428 --> 00:21:27,908 Speaker 5: know from the quarterbacks. And I go back to last 530 00:21:27,988 --> 00:21:29,908 Speaker 5: year and they had three of the best games that 531 00:21:29,988 --> 00:21:32,148 Speaker 5: we saw in the football season. Let me go back 532 00:21:32,188 --> 00:21:34,028 Speaker 5: through a little bit of year. Week three, Remember this 533 00:21:34,148 --> 00:21:37,708 Speaker 5: one with the sun beaten down on that Bill's sideline. 534 00:21:38,228 --> 00:21:40,508 Speaker 5: Everyone hype in the Bills for a Super Bowl run, 535 00:21:40,548 --> 00:21:43,828 Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden, Tua and the Dolphins 536 00:21:43,868 --> 00:21:46,228 Speaker 5: take care of business. Zero points on three fourth quarter 537 00:21:46,348 --> 00:21:48,828 Speaker 5: drives from the Bills. Tua did his job on offense, 538 00:21:48,828 --> 00:21:51,068 Speaker 5: and then the defense did theirs the end of the game, 539 00:21:51,388 --> 00:21:54,868 Speaker 5: that was when Ken Dorsey slammed down the tablet. Tough 540 00:21:54,988 --> 00:21:57,268 Speaker 5: loss for the Bills, and yet they would bounce back 541 00:21:57,308 --> 00:22:00,108 Speaker 5: because in Week fifteen they would host the Dolphins in 542 00:22:00,188 --> 00:22:02,868 Speaker 5: a Saturday night game where the Dolphins had the lead 543 00:22:02,988 --> 00:22:05,108 Speaker 5: for much of this game, but Josh Allen was heroic 544 00:22:05,388 --> 00:22:08,628 Speaker 5: down the stretch. Allen went three h four with four 545 00:22:08,788 --> 00:22:12,508 Speaker 5: touchdowns and zero interceptions. Tyler Bassot hit a twenty five 546 00:22:12,588 --> 00:22:14,988 Speaker 5: yard field goal in the freezing, frigid cold weather to 547 00:22:15,108 --> 00:22:17,788 Speaker 5: win that one thirty two to twenty nine. Sure enough, 548 00:22:17,828 --> 00:22:19,868 Speaker 5: we go to the playoffs to a camp play. Obviously 549 00:22:19,868 --> 00:22:21,948 Speaker 5: it's gonna be a blowout, right, the Bills are gonna 550 00:22:21,948 --> 00:22:24,708 Speaker 5: blow out the Dolphins at home. Quite the contrary, Kyle 551 00:22:25,108 --> 00:22:28,988 Speaker 5: Skyler Thompson at quarterback and the Dolphins hung. Dolphins put 552 00:22:29,068 --> 00:22:32,468 Speaker 5: up thirty one points on this Bills defense. With Skyler 553 00:22:32,588 --> 00:22:34,628 Speaker 5: Thompson at quarterback. They would come all the way back 554 00:22:34,708 --> 00:22:38,108 Speaker 5: and it was close, almost stole it. That was James 555 00:22:38,148 --> 00:22:41,748 Speaker 5: Cook back when he wore that number twenty eight. Dolphins 556 00:22:41,748 --> 00:22:46,228 Speaker 5: would fight Josh Allen, two interceptions, a fumble, lost, really 557 00:22:46,308 --> 00:22:48,348 Speaker 5: good game, and the Bills would get the best of them. 558 00:22:48,388 --> 00:22:50,508 Speaker 5: We're showing all the good Bills defensive highlights, but when 559 00:22:50,508 --> 00:22:52,388 Speaker 5: you give up thirty one points to Skyler Thompson, it 560 00:22:52,468 --> 00:22:54,468 Speaker 5: leaves a lot to be desired. It makes me think 561 00:22:55,268 --> 00:22:58,628 Speaker 5: that the Dolphins could have the edge on this Bill's defense. 562 00:22:58,668 --> 00:23:01,348 Speaker 5: They have never waivered of the last three times they 563 00:23:01,428 --> 00:23:03,548 Speaker 5: played them, even with their backup quarterback. They put up 564 00:23:03,548 --> 00:23:06,148 Speaker 5: a ton of points I don't know. Psychologically, Yes, the 565 00:23:06,228 --> 00:23:08,028 Speaker 5: Bills had the edge two to one, but if you're 566 00:23:08,068 --> 00:23:10,348 Speaker 5: the Dolphins, you're not scared of the Bills, and you 567 00:23:10,468 --> 00:23:12,228 Speaker 5: know you could put up points and you know Tua 568 00:23:12,308 --> 00:23:14,988 Speaker 5: can play. It's the age old adage that we do 569 00:23:15,108 --> 00:23:19,388 Speaker 5: here at Good Morning Football. If Tua is healthy, yeah, 570 00:23:19,788 --> 00:23:21,508 Speaker 5: this could be the year that the Dolphins are the 571 00:23:21,548 --> 00:23:23,868 Speaker 5: heavies because the Bills didn't look like they were ready 572 00:23:23,908 --> 00:23:25,748 Speaker 5: to go out and dominate the AFC East when I 573 00:23:25,788 --> 00:23:26,508 Speaker 5: saw them Monday night. 574 00:23:26,588 --> 00:23:29,508 Speaker 3: I'll lead my answer with another stereotypical thing that we 575 00:23:29,588 --> 00:23:31,588 Speaker 3: hear a lot, which is one game at a time. 576 00:23:31,748 --> 00:23:33,148 Speaker 3: In the spirit of one game at a time, I 577 00:23:33,188 --> 00:23:35,708 Speaker 3: look at the one Sunday night and it's Dolphins and Patriots, 578 00:23:35,788 --> 00:23:38,268 Speaker 3: and the Patriots hung around last weekend with the Eagles. 579 00:23:38,308 --> 00:23:40,508 Speaker 4: People were really high on Bill O'Brien. 580 00:23:40,108 --> 00:23:42,068 Speaker 3: After that, and somehow could he have been the magical 581 00:23:42,148 --> 00:23:43,988 Speaker 3: key that gets Mac Jones working? 582 00:23:44,388 --> 00:23:46,588 Speaker 4: Do you think that at home? I believe it's at 583 00:23:46,628 --> 00:23:47,468 Speaker 4: home for the Patriots. 584 00:23:47,748 --> 00:23:50,268 Speaker 3: Do you think it is at home that Bill O'Brien 585 00:23:50,428 --> 00:23:53,348 Speaker 3: has What did you see from that game working to 586 00:23:53,428 --> 00:23:54,308 Speaker 3: get Mac Jones? 587 00:23:54,748 --> 00:23:57,268 Speaker 4: Was there a connection there that was palpable. Real difference 588 00:23:57,268 --> 00:23:57,828 Speaker 4: from last. 589 00:23:57,708 --> 00:23:58,548 Speaker 5: Year, no doubt about it. 590 00:23:58,588 --> 00:24:00,708 Speaker 2: Mac Jones obviously I had to pick six to sleigh, 591 00:24:00,788 --> 00:24:03,188 Speaker 2: but head over three hundred yards and three touchdowns throwing 592 00:24:03,268 --> 00:24:05,108 Speaker 2: the ball. So for them all Dolphins. They didn't get 593 00:24:05,108 --> 00:24:07,308 Speaker 2: the running game going the way they want. But Matt 594 00:24:07,388 --> 00:24:09,868 Speaker 2: Jones looked a ton better. It was reminiscent of his 595 00:24:09,988 --> 00:24:12,548 Speaker 2: rookie year. What you expected in year two when he 596 00:24:12,628 --> 00:24:15,428 Speaker 2: took off. So yes, I think he looked a lot better. 597 00:24:15,508 --> 00:24:18,148 Speaker 2: They were down sixteen to zero. Thing before you know it, 598 00:24:18,588 --> 00:24:21,948 Speaker 2: Zekiel fumbles after six and you're like, oh, they don't 599 00:24:21,948 --> 00:24:23,548 Speaker 2: get blown out, and they fought their way back in 600 00:24:23,628 --> 00:24:24,508 Speaker 2: that game so hard. 601 00:24:24,588 --> 00:24:26,268 Speaker 5: But if they start zero to two and both games 602 00:24:26,308 --> 00:24:28,228 Speaker 5: are at home night Irene. 603 00:24:28,428 --> 00:24:31,508 Speaker 3: Maybe uh with the Dolphins this year, you might see 604 00:24:31,508 --> 00:24:33,508 Speaker 3: how the Lions started last year was like forty five, 605 00:24:33,588 --> 00:24:36,108 Speaker 3: forty one, thirty ninety four, Like it just could be 606 00:24:36,148 --> 00:24:36,988 Speaker 3: a wild shootout. 607 00:24:37,188 --> 00:24:38,148 Speaker 4: But whatever wins win. 608 00:24:38,228 --> 00:24:42,628 Speaker 3: Thursday Night Football on Prime kicks off of the NFL's 609 00:24:42,668 --> 00:24:43,868 Speaker 3: most exciting. 610 00:24:43,548 --> 00:24:44,908 Speaker 4: Offenses in two days. 611 00:24:45,228 --> 00:24:49,428 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the Vikings traveling once again to Philadelphia to 612 00:24:49,508 --> 00:24:53,748 Speaker 3: the NFC champion Philadelphia built right, Yeah, you're Houston mccordy 613 00:24:53,828 --> 00:24:56,308 Speaker 3: on the radio call, but also you can see it 614 00:24:56,628 --> 00:25:00,188 Speaker 3: on Prime Video eight fifteen pm Eastern on Thursday. Still 615 00:25:00,228 --> 00:25:02,588 Speaker 3: to come on Good Morning Football, the Lions took down 616 00:25:02,628 --> 00:25:04,588 Speaker 3: the defending Chips. Cut that game feels like two weeks. 617 00:25:05,988 --> 00:25:08,068 Speaker 4: But will it? What does it take to have the 618 00:25:08,148 --> 00:25:09,268 Speaker 4: train continue to roll on? 619 00:25:09,348 --> 00:25:11,228 Speaker 3: Scott Pioli will give us his thoughts and lines. 620 00:25:11,508 --> 00:25:26,748 Speaker 9: We hear you Browns fans. We'll talk about the Browns relaxed, good. 621 00:25:26,628 --> 00:25:31,748 Speaker 5: Morning, some incredible commercial cross talk with our guest right 622 00:25:31,788 --> 00:25:34,348 Speaker 5: now who we love. Scott Pioli is our NFL Network 623 00:25:34,828 --> 00:25:39,508 Speaker 5: Inside GM's former three time Lombardi Trophy winner, all the 624 00:25:39,508 --> 00:25:41,428 Speaker 5: accolades and now you're on the show with us now 625 00:25:41,468 --> 00:25:43,348 Speaker 5: and in the commercial break, we were talking a little 626 00:25:43,388 --> 00:25:45,348 Speaker 5: bit about the Dolphins and their coach and if you 627 00:25:45,388 --> 00:25:47,748 Speaker 5: just want to quickly shed some light on that, Mike McDaniel, 628 00:25:47,788 --> 00:25:48,508 Speaker 5: clock management. 629 00:25:48,508 --> 00:25:50,828 Speaker 8: I love that what you were saying it was brilliant 630 00:25:50,908 --> 00:25:53,508 Speaker 8: because again, which don't want to do. The way you 631 00:25:53,588 --> 00:25:55,468 Speaker 8: win games is to not lose them and to not 632 00:25:55,588 --> 00:26:00,308 Speaker 8: do anything stupid. Mike McDaniel was prepared and played smart football. 633 00:26:00,348 --> 00:26:01,388 Speaker 8: He let the other team lose it. 634 00:26:01,748 --> 00:26:05,108 Speaker 5: There you go. Speaking of coaches, Robert Salah out pretty 635 00:26:05,188 --> 00:26:08,188 Speaker 5: strong yesterday and reiterated that this is Zach Wilson's team. 636 00:26:08,788 --> 00:26:10,388 Speaker 5: You're in the front office of a team and you 637 00:26:10,508 --> 00:26:13,428 Speaker 5: lose your starting quarterback and day one of the NFL season, 638 00:26:13,508 --> 00:26:15,708 Speaker 5: what's going on behind the scenes to find some sort 639 00:26:15,748 --> 00:26:18,388 Speaker 5: of replacement or veteran backup, Peter, there's. 640 00:26:18,228 --> 00:26:20,388 Speaker 8: Not too much work that really should be done right 641 00:26:20,468 --> 00:26:23,428 Speaker 8: now at this moment. This is where the off season 642 00:26:23,668 --> 00:26:27,028 Speaker 8: was so important. Your number two quarterback should already be 643 00:26:27,148 --> 00:26:29,348 Speaker 8: on your roster if you're a good front office and 644 00:26:29,388 --> 00:26:31,988 Speaker 8: if you're prepared, so what you need to do is 645 00:26:32,068 --> 00:26:34,788 Speaker 8: think about who is going to be your next number 646 00:26:34,868 --> 00:26:37,388 Speaker 8: two so right now if you have an injury like this, 647 00:26:37,468 --> 00:26:39,428 Speaker 8: and unfortunately, I was a part of teams that had 648 00:26:39,628 --> 00:26:43,228 Speaker 8: early season twice Game one and one time game two 649 00:26:43,508 --> 00:26:46,348 Speaker 8: where we lost our starting quarterback. In nineteen ninety nine, 650 00:26:46,388 --> 00:26:48,628 Speaker 8: it was with the Jets we lost Viny Testaverdi. We 651 00:26:48,708 --> 00:26:51,428 Speaker 8: had been in the AFC Championship game the year before. 652 00:26:51,908 --> 00:26:54,668 Speaker 8: We had our backup on the roster. Because you can't 653 00:26:54,748 --> 00:26:58,668 Speaker 8: be scrambling, you can't be distracting coaches from doing their job. 654 00:26:59,148 --> 00:27:01,788 Speaker 8: Their job is to coach the team. Your job is 655 00:27:01,868 --> 00:27:03,868 Speaker 8: to bring in players. A couple of years later, we're 656 00:27:03,868 --> 00:27:06,188 Speaker 8: at the Patriot. It's drew bledsoe goes down in game two. 657 00:27:06,548 --> 00:27:09,548 Speaker 8: We have Tom Brady on the roster, you elevate him 658 00:27:09,828 --> 00:27:13,468 Speaker 8: and you backfill at number two and number three. In 659 00:27:13,588 --> 00:27:15,988 Speaker 8: two thousand and eight, of course we had the Tom 660 00:27:16,068 --> 00:27:18,868 Speaker 8: Brady torn acl we had Matt Castle on the roster. 661 00:27:19,028 --> 00:27:21,548 Speaker 8: We were ready to win eleven games. What you have 662 00:27:21,708 --> 00:27:23,948 Speaker 8: to do is be prepared this way, there's not too 663 00:27:24,028 --> 00:27:27,108 Speaker 8: many distractions, and then you move forward. Now is not 664 00:27:27,268 --> 00:27:30,468 Speaker 8: the time to be scrambling when you lose your starting quarterback. 665 00:27:30,748 --> 00:27:33,908 Speaker 2: I love that Robert Sala just inserting confidence and his team. 666 00:27:33,988 --> 00:27:36,668 Speaker 2: And there's another head coach in the NFL whose team 667 00:27:36,788 --> 00:27:39,188 Speaker 2: is really confident, and that's the Detroit Lions and Scott 668 00:27:39,508 --> 00:27:41,828 Speaker 2: multiple times you've talked about your faith that you have 669 00:27:42,028 --> 00:27:44,948 Speaker 2: and Dan Campbell and these lines this year, from what 670 00:27:45,068 --> 00:27:47,708 Speaker 2: you know about this organization, what's that out most. 671 00:27:47,548 --> 00:27:49,988 Speaker 5: Of you in the Week one went over to Chief Jason. 672 00:27:50,268 --> 00:27:51,908 Speaker 8: So, first of all, I go back to last year. 673 00:27:51,948 --> 00:27:55,108 Speaker 8: I had supreme confidence in Dan Campbell and their general 674 00:27:55,188 --> 00:27:57,788 Speaker 8: manager Brad Holmes. The reason is that They've built this 675 00:27:57,948 --> 00:28:02,308 Speaker 8: football team in the image of both leaders. They're collecting 676 00:28:02,468 --> 00:28:04,908 Speaker 8: players that fit how they want to do things, not 677 00:28:04,988 --> 00:28:08,188 Speaker 8: only from a scheme standpoint, from a makeup standpoint, and 678 00:28:08,268 --> 00:28:09,868 Speaker 8: when you go back and you look at this win 679 00:28:10,068 --> 00:28:12,508 Speaker 8: last week, a lot of those things showed up. Dan 680 00:28:12,748 --> 00:28:16,388 Speaker 8: Campbell is about smart football and clean football, doing the 681 00:28:16,468 --> 00:28:19,148 Speaker 8: right thing. You look at their numbers last week. They 682 00:28:19,228 --> 00:28:23,348 Speaker 8: had only one turnover and only four penalties. That's good, 683 00:28:23,428 --> 00:28:26,388 Speaker 8: clean football. That's how you win games. That is how 684 00:28:26,468 --> 00:28:28,868 Speaker 8: they've built this football team. The other thing that I 685 00:28:28,948 --> 00:28:31,108 Speaker 8: really liked that they did is they believe in their 686 00:28:31,188 --> 00:28:34,468 Speaker 8: rookie players. They're going to be aggressive when they make decisions, 687 00:28:34,708 --> 00:28:36,468 Speaker 8: but they're not going to be so aggressive that they're 688 00:28:36,508 --> 00:28:39,508 Speaker 8: not thoughtful. This week, they played Jamiir Gibbs, they played 689 00:28:39,828 --> 00:28:43,388 Speaker 8: Sam Laporta, Jack Campbell, and Brian Branch, four rookies that 690 00:28:43,508 --> 00:28:47,188 Speaker 8: contributed to this win. They are coming on strong. They 691 00:28:47,308 --> 00:28:49,548 Speaker 8: tell everyone what they believe in, they go out and 692 00:28:49,668 --> 00:28:51,868 Speaker 8: do it, and they're very authentic, which makes the locker 693 00:28:51,948 --> 00:28:54,228 Speaker 8: room believe in everything that Dan Campbell's going to do 694 00:28:54,828 --> 00:28:58,148 Speaker 8: on the field, and they are prepared to win games. 695 00:28:58,868 --> 00:29:01,708 Speaker 1: Home opener this weekend against a very physical Seattle team. 696 00:29:01,788 --> 00:29:04,228 Speaker 1: That'll be a incredible site in that stadium. Meanwhile, Scott, 697 00:29:04,428 --> 00:29:06,788 Speaker 1: you were there in Foxborough. You watched the Eagles versus Patriots. 698 00:29:06,828 --> 00:29:09,228 Speaker 1: We talked about it a week one. Survive in advance, 699 00:29:09,268 --> 00:29:11,428 Speaker 1: get the win by any means necessary. The Eagles did. 700 00:29:11,668 --> 00:29:12,348 Speaker 1: It wasn't pretty. 701 00:29:12,548 --> 00:29:13,108 Speaker 4: Who cares? 702 00:29:13,268 --> 00:29:15,708 Speaker 1: Now? They have a short week though, they're playing the Vikings, 703 00:29:15,748 --> 00:29:17,628 Speaker 1: who need to win bad Thursday night football? What are 704 00:29:17,628 --> 00:29:20,228 Speaker 1: you going to be watching for an Eagles Vikings Week two? 705 00:29:20,748 --> 00:29:23,268 Speaker 8: Kyle, You're exactly right. It wasn't pretty, But I'll tell 706 00:29:23,268 --> 00:29:25,788 Speaker 8: you what. It wasn't bad for the Eagles either. Again, 707 00:29:25,948 --> 00:29:28,668 Speaker 8: I think the Patriots defense is better than people believe. 708 00:29:28,868 --> 00:29:30,948 Speaker 8: So we saw the Eagles a little bit out of 709 00:29:31,068 --> 00:29:33,948 Speaker 8: sync and maybe not hitting on all cylinders. Some of 710 00:29:34,028 --> 00:29:36,748 Speaker 8: it may have been the preseason preparation, as head coach 711 00:29:36,868 --> 00:29:39,508 Speaker 8: Nick Sirianni said, the other part was the Patriots are 712 00:29:39,548 --> 00:29:42,148 Speaker 8: good defense. So as I watched this week and looking 713 00:29:42,228 --> 00:29:44,228 Speaker 8: at the Eagles, what I'm really going to be looking 714 00:29:44,308 --> 00:29:47,268 Speaker 8: for is a little bit more consistency and things a 715 00:29:47,348 --> 00:29:49,588 Speaker 8: little bit more in sync. They are going to be 716 00:29:49,748 --> 00:29:53,228 Speaker 8: much better this Thursday Night than they were on Sunday, 717 00:29:53,348 --> 00:29:55,228 Speaker 8: even though it's a short week. When I look at 718 00:29:55,228 --> 00:29:57,668 Speaker 8: the Minnesota Vikings, to me, I'm going to be paying 719 00:29:57,708 --> 00:30:00,988 Speaker 8: attention to how their offensive line is and what they 720 00:30:01,108 --> 00:30:03,428 Speaker 8: can do up front. I'm also going to see if 721 00:30:03,428 --> 00:30:05,588 Speaker 8: they can play clean football. When you look at what 722 00:30:05,668 --> 00:30:08,868 Speaker 8: the Vikings did this last weekend, they had three turnovers. 723 00:30:09,188 --> 00:30:11,748 Speaker 8: They were again minus three on the day in turnovers. 724 00:30:11,988 --> 00:30:13,668 Speaker 8: Two of those were in the red zone and the 725 00:30:13,828 --> 00:30:16,508 Speaker 8: third turnover was a turn of war in there within 726 00:30:16,628 --> 00:30:20,028 Speaker 8: their own territory that gave up a field goal. But 727 00:30:20,188 --> 00:30:22,388 Speaker 8: to me, this game is going to be one upfront 728 00:30:22,708 --> 00:30:27,268 Speaker 8: between the Eagles defensive line and the Minnesota Vikings offensive line. 729 00:30:27,508 --> 00:30:29,828 Speaker 3: These two played early in the season last year. Did 730 00:30:29,908 --> 00:30:32,108 Speaker 3: not fear wealf the Vikings. Scott, It'll be a great 731 00:30:32,188 --> 00:30:34,508 Speaker 3: Thursday night game. The NFL, this is cool, has an 732 00:30:34,548 --> 00:30:37,548 Speaker 3: exciting announcement today regarding the international Player Pathway program. 733 00:30:37,628 --> 00:30:38,508 Speaker 4: What can you tell us about it? 734 00:30:38,748 --> 00:30:41,748 Speaker 8: Well, it is a really exciting announcement that they're getting 735 00:30:41,788 --> 00:30:44,748 Speaker 8: ready to make. So starting next year in twenty twenty four, 736 00:30:45,188 --> 00:30:47,548 Speaker 8: all thirty two teams are going to be given a 737 00:30:47,708 --> 00:30:52,148 Speaker 8: seventeenth practice squad position for an international player. The way 738 00:30:52,188 --> 00:30:53,788 Speaker 8: that we've done it in the last several years is 739 00:30:53,988 --> 00:30:57,348 Speaker 8: there's never been enough international players. So we've selected either 740 00:30:57,428 --> 00:31:01,028 Speaker 8: one division or two division that gets an extra allocated 741 00:31:01,148 --> 00:31:04,628 Speaker 8: player for the practice squad. But starting next year, because 742 00:31:04,628 --> 00:31:08,628 Speaker 8: we've changed the definition of what an international qualifying player is, 743 00:31:09,388 --> 00:31:11,828 Speaker 8: every team is going to have a seventeenth practice squad. 744 00:31:11,908 --> 00:31:12,508 Speaker 5: So this is going to. 745 00:31:12,588 --> 00:31:15,228 Speaker 8: Change how teams have to scout and how they have 746 00:31:15,308 --> 00:31:17,668 Speaker 8: to find players and a little bit of roster building. 747 00:31:17,948 --> 00:31:20,348 Speaker 8: So the new rule now again is more about the 748 00:31:20,468 --> 00:31:22,868 Speaker 8: definition of what an international player is and what an 749 00:31:22,908 --> 00:31:25,908 Speaker 8: international player is going to be defined as now moving 750 00:31:25,948 --> 00:31:29,188 Speaker 8: forward in twenty twenty four is that they are no 751 00:31:29,388 --> 00:31:32,188 Speaker 8: more than two years of high school in the United 752 00:31:32,228 --> 00:31:35,988 Speaker 8: States and they are citizens outside of the US and Canada. 753 00:31:36,268 --> 00:31:38,268 Speaker 8: So now if you have an international player that was 754 00:31:38,348 --> 00:31:41,868 Speaker 8: recruited by IMG Academy and plays one year at IMG 755 00:31:41,988 --> 00:31:44,628 Speaker 8: Academy but then goes to Notre Dame for four years, 756 00:31:45,188 --> 00:31:48,348 Speaker 8: they will qualify and have the ability to have an 757 00:31:48,428 --> 00:31:52,188 Speaker 8: international exemption for the roster next year. Last year, there 758 00:31:52,268 --> 00:31:55,548 Speaker 8: was three hundred and nineteen international players throughout the NCAA. 759 00:31:56,108 --> 00:31:58,548 Speaker 8: We need to find a way to get those players 760 00:31:59,348 --> 00:32:02,148 Speaker 8: into the league and grow the game, so fans in 761 00:32:02,228 --> 00:32:05,188 Speaker 8: other countries have people that they can look at and. 762 00:32:05,228 --> 00:32:05,588 Speaker 5: We love it. 763 00:32:05,788 --> 00:32:06,148 Speaker 11: We love it. 764 00:32:06,228 --> 00:32:06,428 Speaker 7: Really. 765 00:32:06,788 --> 00:32:09,148 Speaker 5: You are an ambassador for this, as anybody at the 766 00:32:09,228 --> 00:32:10,948 Speaker 5: NFL can say that you are this.
