It's been an absolute 15 00:01:13,788 --> 00:01:16,028 Speaker 1: pleasure the last couple of days listening to y'all talk 16 00:01:16,068 --> 00:01:18,988 Speaker 1: about your stories and your times in the NFL. But 17 00:01:19,068 --> 00:01:21,668 Speaker 1: also able to parallel, It's so easily back to what 18 00:01:21,748 --> 00:01:24,828 Speaker 1: all the young guys are experiencing in Indianapolis right now. 19 00:01:25,028 --> 00:01:28,268 Speaker 1: And your story in particular yesterday from your combine was 20 00:01:28,828 --> 00:01:31,028 Speaker 1: eye opening just to know that, like how different the 21 00:01:31,068 --> 00:01:34,148 Speaker 1: times have changed with representation and how guys say this 22 00:01:34,228 --> 00:01:35,868 Speaker 1: is how you should act and be and how to 23 00:01:35,908 --> 00:01:38,748 Speaker 1: be a professional. Yeah, it's incredible how it's changed in 24 00:01:38,748 --> 00:01:41,268 Speaker 1: twenty five years. I mean it's I don't I don't 25 00:01:41,268 --> 00:01:45,588 Speaker 1: foresee a player ever, especially one that's so highly graded, 26 00:01:45,628 --> 00:01:48,068 Speaker 1: to walk into a situation like this like I did, 27 00:01:48,188 --> 00:01:51,148 Speaker 1: like just assuming that what I'd done my entire life 28 00:01:51,548 --> 00:01:53,028 Speaker 1: up to that point was going to be good enough 29 00:01:53,028 --> 00:01:57,148 Speaker 1: at the highest possible level. You know that that's a 30 00:01:57,388 --> 00:02:00,988 Speaker 1: not being supported by who you've hired to support you. 31 00:02:01,068 --> 00:02:03,988 Speaker 1: And by no means is that taking any accountability way 32 00:02:03,988 --> 00:02:05,428 Speaker 1: on my part because I'm the one that has to 33 00:02:05,428 --> 00:02:08,988 Speaker 1: do the work right. Um. But like anything, this is 34 00:02:09,348 --> 00:02:12,028 Speaker 1: a great opportunity for everybody there, and I think everybody 35 00:02:12,028 --> 00:02:14,468 Speaker 1: who's excited for that opportunity. It's it's fun to see 36 00:02:14,548 --> 00:02:18,548 Speaker 1: absolutely Dev hit him with it. Somebody, We're gonna have 37 00:02:18,588 --> 00:02:20,388 Speaker 1: Dev back, just because no one says it with the 38 00:02:20,388 --> 00:02:24,308 Speaker 1: pizzazz that he does, shreds no one ever Will What 39 00:02:24,348 --> 00:02:29,428 Speaker 1: do you think about Dev's lead block? Very impressively the 40 00:02:29,428 --> 00:02:31,028 Speaker 1: whole morning on it. We've been talking about it. I 41 00:02:31,028 --> 00:02:32,788 Speaker 1: think Devon's been great all week, but the fact he 42 00:02:32,828 --> 00:02:36,108 Speaker 1: shows that, like gosh, Kyle's usually checking his phone and 43 00:02:36,188 --> 00:02:37,708 Speaker 1: rolling his eyes before we get to the lead block. 44 00:02:37,748 --> 00:02:39,548 Speaker 1: So I'd love seeing it from Devin. That's an actual 45 00:02:39,628 --> 00:02:42,428 Speaker 1: energy into the show. Devin's using the whole chair with 46 00:02:42,708 --> 00:02:45,708 Speaker 1: because the whole chair, not just the edge of it. Jamie, 47 00:02:45,708 --> 00:02:47,588 Speaker 1: It's great seeing you guys back there in New York. 48 00:02:47,588 --> 00:02:49,548 Speaker 1: We're here in Indianapolis, and today's the first day that 49 00:02:49,548 --> 00:02:51,828 Speaker 1: actual drills are gonna be going on behind us with 50 00:02:51,828 --> 00:02:54,308 Speaker 1: the young men. They've been training their entire lives for 51 00:02:54,348 --> 00:02:57,548 Speaker 1: this opportunity. Tom Pallisero set the stage for us a 52 00:02:57,548 --> 00:02:58,908 Speaker 1: little bit. What do we have today and what are 53 00:02:58,948 --> 00:03:01,228 Speaker 1: you looking at? So it's the d lineman and the linebackers, 54 00:03:01,268 --> 00:03:03,188 Speaker 1: it's the edge rushers that are going to be out 55 00:03:03,228 --> 00:03:05,788 Speaker 1: here on the field later on Today. They've rearranged some 56 00:03:05,828 --> 00:03:08,268 Speaker 1: things with the combine. The defense used to go last, 57 00:03:08,668 --> 00:03:12,308 Speaker 1: now they go first, which has impacted in some cases 58 00:03:12,348 --> 00:03:14,948 Speaker 1: who showed up in terms of the coaches to watch 59 00:03:15,028 --> 00:03:17,988 Speaker 1: these guys, but Will Anderson junior from Alabama potentially could 60 00:03:17,988 --> 00:03:19,828 Speaker 1: be at the number one overall pick. He's going to 61 00:03:19,868 --> 00:03:22,228 Speaker 1: do a lot from what I understand out here. Both 62 00:03:22,268 --> 00:03:24,468 Speaker 1: d line and linebacker drills will get to see him 63 00:03:24,468 --> 00:03:26,228 Speaker 1: on the field. This is also the day they do 64 00:03:26,388 --> 00:03:29,228 Speaker 1: measurements of the players. So a guy like Tyree Wilson, 65 00:03:29,468 --> 00:03:31,668 Speaker 1: who we both met yesterday. You interviewed him right here 66 00:03:31,708 --> 00:03:34,028 Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football. He showed you the wingspan, we 67 00:03:34,068 --> 00:03:37,508 Speaker 1: will get the official measurement. Not now whatever they set 68 00:03:37,508 --> 00:03:40,268 Speaker 1: at the school. Now what everybody kind of guestimated, you're 69 00:03:40,388 --> 00:03:43,788 Speaker 1: under eighty five inches, take the over. Believe it's eighty six. 70 00:03:44,068 --> 00:03:46,548 Speaker 1: You're taking the over. Usually those guys get measured the 71 00:03:46,588 --> 00:03:49,308 Speaker 1: previous spring before they come out in the draft, and 72 00:03:49,348 --> 00:03:51,468 Speaker 1: so you've got a pretty good idea. But it's amazing 73 00:03:51,548 --> 00:03:53,388 Speaker 1: some of that variants. Maybe he's rolled out the arms, 74 00:03:53,828 --> 00:03:57,148 Speaker 1: roll out their hands. I hear your nickname is the Condor, 75 00:03:57,188 --> 00:03:58,988 Speaker 1: and like he's after he's like, no one's ever called 76 00:03:59,028 --> 00:04:00,388 Speaker 1: me the Condor, So I think I just made that 77 00:04:00,468 --> 00:04:02,788 Speaker 1: up in my head. He's also going to I mean, 78 00:04:02,788 --> 00:04:05,908 Speaker 1: it's a it's a great nick the door Tyree Wilson. 79 00:04:06,228 --> 00:04:07,908 Speaker 1: I want to get a marketing deal from this. He's like, 80 00:04:07,908 --> 00:04:09,348 Speaker 1: no one's ever called me that. That That was off camera. 81 00:04:09,388 --> 00:04:10,708 Speaker 1: I'm like, I said that, Yeah, that was your nickname. 82 00:04:10,748 --> 00:04:11,948 Speaker 1: I might have just made that up in my head. 83 00:04:11,988 --> 00:04:15,108 Speaker 1: So Tyree has had a couple of fractured metatarsals on 84 00:04:15,108 --> 00:04:17,148 Speaker 1: the top of his foot. So we just got out 85 00:04:16,748 --> 00:04:19,188 Speaker 1: of the boot like a month ago. He's been working 86 00:04:19,188 --> 00:04:20,628 Speaker 1: out the last two weeks. The one thing he's been 87 00:04:20,628 --> 00:04:22,628 Speaker 1: able to do the whole time, though, was bench press. 88 00:04:22,948 --> 00:04:24,868 Speaker 1: So they're actually doing the bench press this year. They 89 00:04:24,868 --> 00:04:27,148 Speaker 1: moved it after the on field workouts. Last year it 90 00:04:27,228 --> 00:04:30,068 Speaker 1: was the morning of which guys didn't like. So basically 91 00:04:30,108 --> 00:04:32,588 Speaker 1: nobody did the bench press. Now Tyree Wilson's like, I 92 00:04:32,668 --> 00:04:34,268 Speaker 1: think I'm gonna do it. He's been training for It 93 00:04:34,348 --> 00:04:35,988 Speaker 1: might be a game time decision. I asked, how many 94 00:04:35,988 --> 00:04:38,148 Speaker 1: are you gonna put up? He said, twenty seven or 95 00:04:38,188 --> 00:04:41,508 Speaker 1: twenty eight with those arms. That's a long way to 96 00:04:41,548 --> 00:04:44,028 Speaker 1: go with that bar for Tyree Wilson. Quick note, this 97 00:04:44,108 --> 00:04:46,668 Speaker 1: used to be the last few years in primetime the players. 98 00:04:46,748 --> 00:04:48,548 Speaker 1: You heard some grumbling that, hey, you know, running at 99 00:04:48,548 --> 00:04:50,508 Speaker 1: ten o'clock at night is not my ideal to three 100 00:04:50,548 --> 00:04:53,308 Speaker 1: pm Eastern right here on NFL Network, and then you 101 00:04:53,308 --> 00:04:55,668 Speaker 1: can also go on NFL Plus. And we've got current 102 00:04:55,708 --> 00:04:57,268 Speaker 1: in X players who are gonna be on the field 103 00:04:57,308 --> 00:04:59,908 Speaker 1: doing durnals with the guys. Pretty cool experience to three 104 00:05:00,068 --> 00:05:04,308 Speaker 1: sixty experience right here from Indianapolis. But still the current 105 00:05:04,548 --> 00:05:06,548 Speaker 1: NFL players are making a lot of news. And though 106 00:05:06,588 --> 00:05:08,668 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers isn't here, and though his GM has not 107 00:05:08,748 --> 00:05:11,188 Speaker 1: spoken to him this week, Rogers is talking. It's just 108 00:05:11,268 --> 00:05:14,788 Speaker 1: from the Aubrey Marcus podcast. Here is Rogers talking about 109 00:05:14,788 --> 00:05:19,428 Speaker 1: his darkness retreat and his emergence back into society. There's 110 00:05:19,428 --> 00:05:23,468 Speaker 1: a finality to the decision, and I don't make it lightly. 111 00:05:23,628 --> 00:05:25,908 Speaker 1: I don't want to drag anybody around. Look, I'm answering 112 00:05:25,988 --> 00:05:29,148 Speaker 1: questions about it because I get asked about it. I'm 113 00:05:29,188 --> 00:05:31,708 Speaker 1: talking about it because it's important to me. If you 114 00:05:31,748 --> 00:05:35,508 Speaker 1: don't like it and you think it's drama, I think 115 00:05:35,508 --> 00:05:37,868 Speaker 1: I'm being a diva or whatever, and just tune it out. 116 00:05:38,668 --> 00:05:42,228 Speaker 1: It's fine. But this is my life. It's important to me, 117 00:05:42,868 --> 00:05:46,228 Speaker 1: and I'll make a decision soon enough, and then we'll 118 00:05:46,268 --> 00:05:49,708 Speaker 1: go down that road and be really excited about it. 119 00:05:53,188 --> 00:05:55,908 Speaker 1: No shoes or socks on the Aubrey Marcus podcast spective. 120 00:05:55,908 --> 00:05:58,908 Speaker 1: Apparently just very dress code by the fire. I like it. 121 00:05:58,948 --> 00:06:00,628 Speaker 1: I can't I do that for the final the final 122 00:06:00,708 --> 00:06:03,588 Speaker 1: hit on the pedicure first time, so listen to. The 123 00:06:03,948 --> 00:06:08,068 Speaker 1: Packers are waiting. Aaron Rodgers holds the cards here to 124 00:06:08,148 --> 00:06:11,148 Speaker 1: a large degrees, do sixty million dollars fully guaranteed if 125 00:06:11,148 --> 00:06:14,068 Speaker 1: he chooses to play in twenty twenty three, which is 126 00:06:14,108 --> 00:06:17,148 Speaker 1: he said he touched all the answers. They're all inside 127 00:06:17,148 --> 00:06:18,748 Speaker 1: of him while he was in the darkness, whether it 128 00:06:18,828 --> 00:06:21,508 Speaker 1: was on retirement whereas on playing again. Besides he wants 129 00:06:21,548 --> 00:06:24,268 Speaker 1: to play again, there's conversations to be had here because 130 00:06:24,308 --> 00:06:26,508 Speaker 1: if he wants to come back to Green Bay and 131 00:06:26,628 --> 00:06:28,548 Speaker 1: he's fully bought in, the Packers want him back, but 132 00:06:28,588 --> 00:06:30,908 Speaker 1: they want to have those additional conversations with what Brian 133 00:06:30,908 --> 00:06:33,828 Speaker 1: Goodaquin has talked about earlier this week. Where's the roster going, 134 00:06:33,868 --> 00:06:36,748 Speaker 1: where's the team going? I'm sure what's going to happen 135 00:06:36,908 --> 00:06:39,508 Speaker 1: with Jordan Love. Is this definitely the last season? All 136 00:06:39,508 --> 00:06:40,988 Speaker 1: those things need to play out. If he says I 137 00:06:40,988 --> 00:06:43,468 Speaker 1: want to go someplace else, the Packers are open to 138 00:06:43,508 --> 00:06:46,428 Speaker 1: working with him on a trade, but he's got veto 139 00:06:46,508 --> 00:06:48,348 Speaker 1: power over it. He can hear say, hey, I don't 140 00:06:48,348 --> 00:06:49,948 Speaker 1: want to go to that place. I'm not showing up, 141 00:06:50,068 --> 00:06:52,428 Speaker 1: or refused to sign a revised contract which would be 142 00:06:52,428 --> 00:06:55,108 Speaker 1: needed to necessitate it. From a cap perspective for a 143 00:06:55,188 --> 00:06:58,748 Speaker 1: green Bay. So the clock is ticking. It is marked second. 144 00:06:59,468 --> 00:07:02,708 Speaker 1: Right now, we are eleven days out from the start 145 00:07:02,748 --> 00:07:05,508 Speaker 1: of the free agent negotiating window. When a quarterback, even 146 00:07:05,548 --> 00:07:07,588 Speaker 1: though his cap numbers lower, but he's making sixty million 147 00:07:07,628 --> 00:07:09,788 Speaker 1: this year to find them out my cash in cap perspective, 148 00:07:10,228 --> 00:07:12,108 Speaker 1: that kind of makes it. You know, they have all 149 00:07:12,108 --> 00:07:14,348 Speaker 1: the contingency plans in place, they've they've worked through all 150 00:07:14,388 --> 00:07:17,268 Speaker 1: the scenarios, but you'd like an answer sooner than later. 151 00:07:17,308 --> 00:07:19,148 Speaker 1: And here we are getting closer. Yeah. The team that 152 00:07:19,148 --> 00:07:20,948 Speaker 1: I've won circling right now is the New York Jets, 153 00:07:21,028 --> 00:07:22,788 Speaker 1: and I think the Jets are going through their mental 154 00:07:22,828 --> 00:07:24,828 Speaker 1: gymnastics of Okay, how can we make this work. Do 155 00:07:24,828 --> 00:07:26,388 Speaker 1: we have the picks, do we have the cap space? 156 00:07:26,428 --> 00:07:28,548 Speaker 1: If we do, can we get this done in time 157 00:07:28,588 --> 00:07:30,468 Speaker 1: so that we don't miss the boat on Saya Derek 158 00:07:30,548 --> 00:07:33,188 Speaker 1: Carr or we don't miss the boat on say Ja 159 00:07:33,268 --> 00:07:35,748 Speaker 1: Kobe Brissette or a Jimmy Garoppolo or whoever else might 160 00:07:35,788 --> 00:07:37,708 Speaker 1: be their contingency plans in New York, because we know 161 00:07:37,748 --> 00:07:40,068 Speaker 1: the Jets are looking for a veteran quarterback. Truth the 162 00:07:40,108 --> 00:07:42,668 Speaker 1: matter is, there are two major factors here. It's one 163 00:07:42,788 --> 00:07:45,428 Speaker 1: Rogers's desire and then it's the Packers and their desire 164 00:07:45,468 --> 00:07:47,388 Speaker 1: and how long they want to wait. It's just amazing 165 00:07:47,388 --> 00:07:49,988 Speaker 1: that I believe you were probably there covering it in 166 00:07:50,068 --> 00:07:53,308 Speaker 1: Green Bay in two thousand and eight. Was it's not 167 00:07:53,428 --> 00:07:54,948 Speaker 1: to the tea and I know Rogers the Rolls eyes, 168 00:07:54,988 --> 00:07:57,148 Speaker 1: is they not so fast? But the fact that Brett 169 00:07:57,188 --> 00:07:59,748 Speaker 1: Farve's career ended that way in Green Bay and that 170 00:07:59,828 --> 00:08:01,868 Speaker 1: we're in year number three in a row of wondering 171 00:08:01,868 --> 00:08:03,788 Speaker 1: whether Rogers wants to be back and where team is 172 00:08:03,788 --> 00:08:07,748 Speaker 1: waiting on him, it is incredible to me that this 173 00:08:07,828 --> 00:08:10,828 Speaker 1: is happening in similar paths well and potentially even beginning 174 00:08:10,868 --> 00:08:12,788 Speaker 1: traded to the Jets, which is where five ended up 175 00:08:12,828 --> 00:08:14,228 Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight. But you know that was 176 00:08:14,268 --> 00:08:17,388 Speaker 1: a situation the Packers learned from you know, Mark Murphy's 177 00:08:17,388 --> 00:08:19,788 Speaker 1: the president CEO. He was very new to the scene 178 00:08:19,828 --> 00:08:21,828 Speaker 1: at that point, but he was directly involved with farve 179 00:08:22,068 --> 00:08:25,508 Speaker 1: Ted Thompson, the late Ted Thompson was the GM involved 180 00:08:25,508 --> 00:08:27,628 Speaker 1: in it. But part of what they did that led 181 00:08:27,668 --> 00:08:29,628 Speaker 1: to everything that played out was they wanted an answer. 182 00:08:29,668 --> 00:08:32,148 Speaker 1: They pushed Brett for an answer very early on, and 183 00:08:32,188 --> 00:08:35,868 Speaker 1: it was you know that year or that week fifteen 184 00:08:35,948 --> 00:08:39,148 Speaker 1: years ago, like this week. March sixth was his retirement 185 00:08:39,188 --> 00:08:42,108 Speaker 1: press conference in two thousand and eight. At that point 186 00:08:42,148 --> 00:08:43,588 Speaker 1: he wasn't ready, but by the end of the month, 187 00:08:43,628 --> 00:08:45,588 Speaker 1: by the end of April, it was already I think 188 00:08:45,628 --> 00:08:47,188 Speaker 1: I want to come back. They want to get the 189 00:08:47,228 --> 00:08:49,948 Speaker 1: real answer from Aaron Rodgers here. They don't want to 190 00:08:49,948 --> 00:08:53,108 Speaker 1: have the ugliness. The relationship can't emphasize enough has been 191 00:08:53,148 --> 00:08:55,628 Speaker 1: positive last couple of years they've been working together. They've 192 00:08:55,628 --> 00:08:58,028 Speaker 1: given Aaron Rodgers the voice, they gave him the contract. 193 00:08:58,068 --> 00:08:59,868 Speaker 1: They just weren't thinking when they gave him that deal 194 00:08:59,948 --> 00:09:01,988 Speaker 1: last year that we were going to be right back 195 00:09:02,268 --> 00:09:04,748 Speaker 1: here again one year later. So Jay and the guy 196 00:09:04,828 --> 00:09:09,268 Speaker 1: send it back to you. Oh, thank you very much 197 00:09:10,068 --> 00:09:12,228 Speaker 1: for setting the stage there. Yeah. Again, we heard from 198 00:09:12,228 --> 00:09:15,188 Speaker 1: Packers GM Brian gutencous yesterday about how they want to 199 00:09:15,188 --> 00:09:17,548 Speaker 1: give him space and they want to respect his decision 200 00:09:17,588 --> 00:09:21,348 Speaker 1: making process. They haven't talked yet, they being Aaron Rodgers 201 00:09:21,348 --> 00:09:23,268 Speaker 1: and the GM of the Packers. However, he did go 202 00:09:23,308 --> 00:09:26,548 Speaker 1: on this Aubrey Marcus's podcast, Who Aubrey Marcus is a 203 00:09:27,228 --> 00:09:31,948 Speaker 1: globally disruptive brandmaker and it's based in holistic health philosophy 204 00:09:32,068 --> 00:09:34,948 Speaker 1: that he calls total human optimization. So I just want 205 00:09:34,948 --> 00:09:37,988 Speaker 1: to that's the baseline for the conversation that we're having here, 206 00:09:38,108 --> 00:09:41,268 Speaker 1: global disruptor as it pertains Saron Rodgers asking us that 207 00:09:41,308 --> 00:09:44,148 Speaker 1: if we think it's like being diva behavior to wait 208 00:09:44,188 --> 00:09:46,068 Speaker 1: to make this decision and that we should just ignore it, 209 00:09:46,108 --> 00:09:48,748 Speaker 1: we can't. So we're going to talk about it here 210 00:09:48,748 --> 00:09:50,668 Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football, and Jason, I'm gonna make you 211 00:09:50,828 --> 00:09:53,028 Speaker 1: talk about it first because we can't ignore it. Yeah, 212 00:09:53,068 --> 00:09:56,428 Speaker 1: he said soon enough. So I think for fans, for 213 00:09:56,508 --> 00:10:01,668 Speaker 1: the Packers, for GM's ownership, soon enough, it's kind of like, yeah, 214 00:10:01,788 --> 00:10:03,948 Speaker 1: but when, because we kind of want to get a 215 00:10:03,988 --> 00:10:06,948 Speaker 1: decision so we can decide what is best for our franchise. 216 00:10:07,028 --> 00:10:08,788 Speaker 1: And I said it yesterday, I think the longer this 217 00:10:08,908 --> 00:10:11,748 Speaker 1: goes on with us not knowing or him not making 218 00:10:11,828 --> 00:10:15,268 Speaker 1: a definite decision if he wants to play I believe 219 00:10:15,308 --> 00:10:17,788 Speaker 1: that it's going to be in Green Bay, because I 220 00:10:17,788 --> 00:10:19,588 Speaker 1: said yesterday, if he wants to leave, he wants to 221 00:10:19,628 --> 00:10:21,428 Speaker 1: get that out there, and he wants to be able 222 00:10:21,468 --> 00:10:24,268 Speaker 1: to get to another team to build whatever that roster 223 00:10:24,428 --> 00:10:26,748 Speaker 1: is going to look like. My question is more kind 224 00:10:26,788 --> 00:10:30,028 Speaker 1: of green base court. If this continues to go on 225 00:10:30,108 --> 00:10:33,868 Speaker 1: and you don't get a decision from Aaron Rodgers, do 226 00:10:33,948 --> 00:10:36,788 Speaker 1: you make the decision for him because you have Jordan 227 00:10:36,868 --> 00:10:38,948 Speaker 1: Love there. You said that you feel like he's ready 228 00:10:38,948 --> 00:10:41,548 Speaker 1: to play. Do you just say, hey, we're going to 229 00:10:41,588 --> 00:10:44,428 Speaker 1: try and trade him, or convince him that we need 230 00:10:44,468 --> 00:10:46,228 Speaker 1: to trade him, that he needs to be somewhere else 231 00:10:46,348 --> 00:10:48,748 Speaker 1: so we can start to build our team and move 232 00:10:48,788 --> 00:10:51,708 Speaker 1: on with somebody that we believe could possibly be our 233 00:10:51,748 --> 00:10:55,268 Speaker 1: future quarterback. That, to me is the question, because of 234 00:10:55,308 --> 00:10:57,108 Speaker 1: course they're going to give him the respect what he's 235 00:10:57,148 --> 00:10:59,948 Speaker 1: earned over the course of his career, the MVPs, a 236 00:11:00,068 --> 00:11:02,788 Speaker 1: super Bowl, But does there come a tipping point where 237 00:11:02,948 --> 00:11:05,068 Speaker 1: just like we gave him your time, we gave your space, 238 00:11:05,268 --> 00:11:07,308 Speaker 1: you're not making a decision, so we're gonna attempt to 239 00:11:07,308 --> 00:11:09,908 Speaker 1: make the decision for you. That's interesting because he has 240 00:11:09,908 --> 00:11:11,948 Speaker 1: a no trade clath so they could say we're gonna 241 00:11:11,988 --> 00:11:14,268 Speaker 1: bench you, and then he's definitely gonna say trade me. 242 00:11:14,508 --> 00:11:18,508 Speaker 1: But I think people be happy a decisions coming, So 243 00:11:18,628 --> 00:11:20,548 Speaker 1: him and I want to spend this a little bit. 244 00:11:20,868 --> 00:11:24,348 Speaker 1: Listening to the actually listening to the podcast, Aaron Rodgers 245 00:11:24,468 --> 00:11:26,948 Speaker 1: talked about having that time in darkness gave him a 246 00:11:26,988 --> 00:11:30,028 Speaker 1: time to think about playing, to think about retiring, to 247 00:11:30,068 --> 00:11:33,348 Speaker 1: think about some personal relationships in his life and what 248 00:11:33,428 --> 00:11:36,628 Speaker 1: he's been through. So to me, this screamed a guy 249 00:11:36,788 --> 00:11:41,348 Speaker 1: who used maybe away and a method that we all 250 00:11:41,348 --> 00:11:44,228 Speaker 1: don't understand or maybe some people don't agree with. But 251 00:11:44,468 --> 00:11:46,908 Speaker 1: he was a guy who needs time. He needs space. 252 00:11:47,228 --> 00:11:50,148 Speaker 1: He's been in the NFL for seventeen years. He wants 253 00:11:50,188 --> 00:11:53,548 Speaker 1: to figure some things out. If he used the term that, like, hey, 254 00:11:53,868 --> 00:11:57,028 Speaker 1: mentally and physically, I'm drained. I need to get away, 255 00:11:57,148 --> 00:11:59,388 Speaker 1: we would have no problem. We will be sitting here 256 00:11:59,428 --> 00:12:01,668 Speaker 1: like yeah, man, the guys played for a long time. 257 00:12:01,708 --> 00:12:04,668 Speaker 1: He's older, give him some time to decide. But because 258 00:12:04,668 --> 00:12:07,668 Speaker 1: he said I'm going in darkness and I'm using this method, 259 00:12:07,908 --> 00:12:10,228 Speaker 1: everyone's like, give us an answer. And I get it 260 00:12:10,308 --> 00:12:12,708 Speaker 1: the past and everything that's going on. But I think 261 00:12:12,748 --> 00:12:14,988 Speaker 1: from listening to what he was saying in the podcast. 262 00:12:15,268 --> 00:12:18,268 Speaker 1: He talked about just getting time away and really being 263 00:12:18,308 --> 00:12:22,108 Speaker 1: able to get from like get outside and get to 264 00:12:22,228 --> 00:12:24,908 Speaker 1: himself and not worry about the distractions or what this 265 00:12:24,948 --> 00:12:28,148 Speaker 1: person says. That person says. We all need that. Everybody 266 00:12:28,188 --> 00:12:31,108 Speaker 1: wants to get away sometimes just to be to themselves. 267 00:12:31,668 --> 00:12:35,388 Speaker 1: It makes a lot of sense. But I think the 268 00:12:35,428 --> 00:12:37,868 Speaker 1: biggest part in all of this is that it's constantly 269 00:12:37,908 --> 00:12:41,188 Speaker 1: talked about, and he adds to the mix by constantly 270 00:12:41,188 --> 00:12:42,828 Speaker 1: talk about it in himself. You know, he goes on 271 00:12:42,868 --> 00:12:46,028 Speaker 1: the Pat McAfee show every Tuesday. It's brought up all 272 00:12:46,068 --> 00:12:48,228 Speaker 1: the time. It's talked about, that's followed by you know, 273 00:12:48,428 --> 00:12:51,348 Speaker 1: millions of people who watch it. So it's it's understandable 274 00:12:53,628 --> 00:12:57,388 Speaker 1: I don't have the same you know, NFL career experience 275 00:12:57,468 --> 00:13:00,148 Speaker 1: about when I walked away. Yeah, right, both of you. 276 00:13:00,788 --> 00:13:03,228 Speaker 1: You're still in your playing career. You had a great career. 277 00:13:03,268 --> 00:13:04,948 Speaker 1: You chose when you wanted to walk away, and that 278 00:13:04,988 --> 00:13:07,268 Speaker 1: was a difficult decision. And if it took you three 279 00:13:07,308 --> 00:13:10,348 Speaker 1: months to decide it, then it isn't for me to 280 00:13:10,348 --> 00:13:12,508 Speaker 1: tell you when to do it, And it isn't for 281 00:13:12,548 --> 00:13:15,108 Speaker 1: me to tell Aaron Rodgers to do the same thing. 282 00:13:15,468 --> 00:13:19,508 Speaker 1: A small, small little story. There's a we talked about 283 00:13:19,548 --> 00:13:22,028 Speaker 1: there's a narcissism to being an NFL quarterback. You have 284 00:13:22,028 --> 00:13:24,468 Speaker 1: to make it about you, and you want that. You 285 00:13:24,548 --> 00:13:26,948 Speaker 1: both said that I want my quarterback to be that way, 286 00:13:28,108 --> 00:13:31,508 Speaker 1: but still having understanding of what and being epathetic around 287 00:13:31,548 --> 00:13:33,468 Speaker 1: what other people go through and everything like that. A 288 00:13:33,468 --> 00:13:36,268 Speaker 1: short little story. Aaron and I play golf in the offseason. 289 00:13:36,468 --> 00:13:40,508 Speaker 1: Sometimes my wife is pregnant at the time we got 290 00:13:40,508 --> 00:13:44,428 Speaker 1: done playing golf. This guy who's an MVP doesn't need 291 00:13:44,468 --> 00:13:46,148 Speaker 1: to come by and sit down and talk to my 292 00:13:46,428 --> 00:13:50,228 Speaker 1: seven months pregnant wife about nothing to do with football, 293 00:13:50,308 --> 00:13:52,188 Speaker 1: just to see how you know, it's talked to her 294 00:13:52,188 --> 00:13:55,028 Speaker 1: and sat in our living room talk to her. And 295 00:13:55,388 --> 00:13:58,948 Speaker 1: I usually walk away from from interactions like that and 296 00:13:59,028 --> 00:14:01,268 Speaker 1: ask my wife the question, like what do you think 297 00:14:01,268 --> 00:14:03,748 Speaker 1: of these people? Because usually it's from afar. You judge 298 00:14:03,788 --> 00:14:05,348 Speaker 1: people from a far you don't really ever get to 299 00:14:05,348 --> 00:14:07,348 Speaker 1: meet him. And I can tell you right now, Aaron, 300 00:14:08,148 --> 00:14:09,908 Speaker 1: you have probably the biggest fan in the world in 301 00:14:10,588 --> 00:14:13,228 Speaker 1: my wife. And so when this is all going on, 302 00:14:13,268 --> 00:14:15,868 Speaker 1: when I bounced questions off her at night about these things, 303 00:14:15,868 --> 00:14:17,508 Speaker 1: and she's like, she looks at me, and she's like, 304 00:14:18,148 --> 00:14:21,468 Speaker 1: calm down, and she relaxed. Let him make the decision 305 00:14:22,028 --> 00:14:24,108 Speaker 1: he wants to make when he wants to make it. 306 00:14:24,188 --> 00:14:28,588 Speaker 1: And she's right, She's right. He's a fascinating personality. And 307 00:14:28,628 --> 00:14:33,788 Speaker 1: I think that's where some myself included, take an exasperated 308 00:14:33,828 --> 00:14:37,468 Speaker 1: tone maybe with his approach and really the fact that 309 00:14:37,468 --> 00:14:40,508 Speaker 1: we focus on it and harp on it so much. 310 00:14:40,828 --> 00:14:44,348 Speaker 1: But to Dev's point, it perhaps might be coming from 311 00:14:44,388 --> 00:14:47,828 Speaker 1: a lack of knowledge in his process and the fact 312 00:14:47,868 --> 00:14:49,948 Speaker 1: that it is just in our faces all the time 313 00:14:49,948 --> 00:14:54,228 Speaker 1: and it's so non traditional compared to Pellicero brought this 314 00:14:54,308 --> 00:14:56,948 Speaker 1: up when Brett Farve did it X many years ago, 315 00:14:56,988 --> 00:14:58,828 Speaker 1: when the Packers held his hand to the fire and 316 00:14:58,828 --> 00:15:00,988 Speaker 1: said make a decision and it was the wrong one. 317 00:15:02,028 --> 00:15:04,268 Speaker 1: That was an interesting parallel that I really hadn't thought of. 318 00:15:04,388 --> 00:15:06,348 Speaker 1: I think more of the parallels that oh, Rogers doesn't 319 00:15:06,348 --> 00:15:07,788 Speaker 1: want to go to the jets because Farve did it, 320 00:15:07,988 --> 00:15:09,868 Speaker 1: To think of it back to the packers point of 321 00:15:09,948 --> 00:15:12,948 Speaker 1: view and forcing his handed for a choice, I just 322 00:15:13,108 --> 00:15:15,948 Speaker 1: open open the brainscape a little bit and not be 323 00:15:16,068 --> 00:15:18,548 Speaker 1: so annoyed with this. But I do think for the Packers. 324 00:15:18,628 --> 00:15:20,028 Speaker 1: Last year you signed him to a three year on 325 00:15:20,108 --> 00:15:22,308 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million dollars deal, So it was 326 00:15:22,348 --> 00:15:24,908 Speaker 1: just like, we get you got to go through some stuff, 327 00:15:24,908 --> 00:15:27,428 Speaker 1: but like this was just last year, so it was 328 00:15:27,468 --> 00:15:29,468 Speaker 1: just like, yeah, go through your process. But it's just like, 329 00:15:29,868 --> 00:15:32,268 Speaker 1: dagn why does the process have to change so much? Yeah, 330 00:15:32,348 --> 00:15:40,588 Speaker 1: in twelve months, he's just like, oh, Devin, help me 331 00:15:40,628 --> 00:15:44,428 Speaker 1: out here. Now he's got the point in going. Andrew, 332 00:15:44,468 --> 00:15:47,388 Speaker 1: Steger and Tompauls are very impressive. They're going to give 333 00:15:47,468 --> 00:15:50,668 Speaker 1: us the lowdown from day one. Set up for drills 334 00:15:50,828 --> 00:15:55,628 Speaker 1: at the combine. Defensive linemen and linebackers. Great group, guys. 335 00:15:55,628 --> 00:15:59,468 Speaker 1: What do you want to talk about before skills kickoff? Jamie? 336 00:15:59,508 --> 00:16:01,028 Speaker 1: First of all, Tom and I would both have had 337 00:16:01,108 --> 00:16:03,748 Speaker 1: the sickest pooka shell necklaces you've ever seen. If the 338 00:16:04,028 --> 00:16:06,148 Speaker 1: Joe l deals for us, we would have been rolling 339 00:16:06,148 --> 00:16:08,988 Speaker 1: in here Jersey's short hair. We would have been that 340 00:16:09,188 --> 00:16:12,428 Speaker 1: BedHead stuff. That's what I would have been. Yeah, absolutely, 341 00:16:12,468 --> 00:16:16,068 Speaker 1: that's what we had in college. Tom. It's the linebackers, 342 00:16:16,068 --> 00:16:17,908 Speaker 1: the defensive ents. The first time that they're actually the 343 00:16:17,948 --> 00:16:20,228 Speaker 1: first position groups going. We never had it. Where it's 344 00:16:20,228 --> 00:16:22,228 Speaker 1: defense to start the week, and we're doing it at 345 00:16:22,228 --> 00:16:24,588 Speaker 1: three pm Eastern. Le's take a look at the group 346 00:16:24,628 --> 00:16:27,148 Speaker 1: as a whole, take your first whack at it. Who's 347 00:16:27,148 --> 00:16:29,228 Speaker 1: the guy that you're looking at, Will Anderson Junior. It's 348 00:16:29,228 --> 00:16:31,988 Speaker 1: the number one pick potentially, he's certainly going to be 349 00:16:32,028 --> 00:16:34,588 Speaker 1: in that conversation, one of the top non quarterbacks in 350 00:16:34,588 --> 00:16:36,908 Speaker 1: this draft, one of the top prospects overall in the 351 00:16:37,068 --> 00:16:39,708 Speaker 1: entire draft. He's with the linebacker group, got requests to 352 00:16:39,708 --> 00:16:41,748 Speaker 1: do D line drills as well, so we'll see him 353 00:16:41,748 --> 00:16:43,548 Speaker 1: do a lot of different things in the pass rush area, 354 00:16:43,588 --> 00:16:46,628 Speaker 1: where he was highly productive back in college. We'll look 355 00:16:46,628 --> 00:16:48,188 Speaker 1: at some of these other edge guys. Who are the 356 00:16:48,228 --> 00:16:50,428 Speaker 1: other ones who creep up nobody has enough pass Rush's 357 00:16:50,428 --> 00:16:53,308 Speaker 1: a Miles Murphy from Clemson? Is it your guy, Lucas 358 00:16:53,388 --> 00:16:55,588 Speaker 1: van Ness, There's a lot of those other players who 359 00:16:55,668 --> 00:16:57,868 Speaker 1: will see how they kind of slot out here beyond 360 00:16:57,868 --> 00:17:01,228 Speaker 1: Will Anderson. That we had Tyree Wilson on the show yesterday, 361 00:17:01,308 --> 00:17:03,868 Speaker 1: and I mean, he's a man child. It's an incredible 362 00:17:03,868 --> 00:17:06,308 Speaker 1: physical besseman. He's not going to be working out today, 363 00:17:06,548 --> 00:17:08,428 Speaker 1: but his presence is around and you mentioned it earlier. 364 00:17:08,428 --> 00:17:10,948 Speaker 1: He might do the bench press. There's no reason for 365 00:17:11,028 --> 00:17:12,388 Speaker 1: him to do that. He doesn't have to. But he's 366 00:17:12,428 --> 00:17:13,708 Speaker 1: a competitor. He says, I want to get out there, 367 00:17:13,708 --> 00:17:15,508 Speaker 1: I want to do something. I'm here, I want to compete. 368 00:17:15,548 --> 00:17:18,468 Speaker 1: You mentioned Lucas van Nests, a fascinating prospect comes out 369 00:17:18,468 --> 00:17:22,028 Speaker 1: of Iowa. Did not start at Iowa. Did not start 370 00:17:22,068 --> 00:17:23,428 Speaker 1: it's going to be a top ten pick in the 371 00:17:23,508 --> 00:17:25,988 Speaker 1: NFL draft. Did not start at Iowa. Hears number ninety 372 00:17:26,028 --> 00:17:28,668 Speaker 1: one there. He has been compared to J. J. Watt, 373 00:17:28,708 --> 00:17:30,668 Speaker 1: who is a future first ballot Hall of Famer. That 374 00:17:30,748 --> 00:17:33,868 Speaker 1: is really high praise. Well, when you get those comparisons, 375 00:17:33,908 --> 00:17:36,548 Speaker 1: you better perform in the combine and you better put 376 00:17:36,548 --> 00:17:39,148 Speaker 1: your name on that. There's always that surprise guy who 377 00:17:39,228 --> 00:17:40,708 Speaker 1: comes out there and says, we'll wait a second. We 378 00:17:40,708 --> 00:17:43,548 Speaker 1: didn't expect these kind of performances. That's the beauty of 379 00:17:43,588 --> 00:17:47,668 Speaker 1: this group. Three PM Eastern defensive ends and the linebackers. 380 00:17:47,948 --> 00:17:49,268 Speaker 1: Is there a wild card that you met at the 381 00:17:49,268 --> 00:17:50,588 Speaker 1: Senior bill that you're going to keep an eye on 382 00:17:50,628 --> 00:17:51,988 Speaker 1: and say, hey, maybe that's a guy that can really 383 00:17:51,988 --> 00:17:54,308 Speaker 1: pop on the screen today.

Doesn't like to overthink it. 391 00:18:13,548 --> 00:18:16,068 Speaker 1: He's got all these varied interests.

Everyone's been focused on the 408 00:18:58,988 --> 00:19:01,748 Speaker 1: one Alabama guy. There's always the second Alabama guy that 409 00:19:01,828 --> 00:19:03,508 Speaker 1: might be the one that I'm watching, Jamie, I know 410 00:19:03,548 --> 00:19:06,348 Speaker 1: you know the Alabama young men very well.

You guys enjoy not only 420 00:19:31,108 --> 00:19:33,188 Speaker 1: the storylines but what you get to watch to really 421 00:19:33,188 --> 00:19:36,188 Speaker 1: see the skills on the field there, and Indy appreciate 422 00:19:36,228 --> 00:19:38,628 Speaker 1: you too. Have an awesome day. We'll see you tomorrow 423 00:19:38,708 --> 00:19:41,708 Speaker 1: on the show. Since it is nine am Eastern here 424 00:19:41,708 --> 00:19:44,508 Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football on a Thursday's time to play 425 00:19:44,628 --> 00:19:49,228 Speaker 1: throw down Thursday. Jay, We are right because we have 426 00:19:49,308 --> 00:19:51,108 Speaker 1: done this a lot and we are no longer the rookies. 427 00:19:51,548 --> 00:19:54,228 Speaker 1: These two knuckleheads now have to play a throw down Thursday. 428 00:19:54,268 --> 00:19:55,828 Speaker 1: It has to move a little bit faster than we 429 00:19:55,868 --> 00:19:59,148 Speaker 1: normally do. We have two topics. You have to pick 430 00:19:59,188 --> 00:20:02,108 Speaker 1: an answer. Sometimes Peter likes to flirt with the line 431 00:20:02,148 --> 00:20:05,348 Speaker 1: to pick Kyle does not allow it to pick one 432 00:20:05,388 --> 00:20:09,028 Speaker 1: of the answer in each topic. Right, let's get rolling. 433 00:20:09,108 --> 00:20:12,308 Speaker 1: There are a couple of quarterbacks that are at the 434 00:20:12,308 --> 00:20:13,748 Speaker 1: top of the list. We're not going to talk Braceyon. 435 00:20:13,788 --> 00:20:15,748 Speaker 1: We're talking about other prospects that have a lot on 436 00:20:15,788 --> 00:20:19,548 Speaker 1: the line. Anthony Richardson, Will Levis and c J. Stroud. 437 00:20:19,588 --> 00:20:22,868 Speaker 1: Those are three quarterbacks. But who has the most to 438 00:20:22,988 --> 00:20:26,428 Speaker 1: gain when they take the field on Saturday in Indianapolis 439 00:20:26,468 --> 00:20:29,028 Speaker 1: out of those three guys, For me, it's Anthony Richardson 440 00:20:29,748 --> 00:20:32,868 Speaker 1: because he's the riskiest pick out there. There's some that 441 00:20:32,908 --> 00:20:34,468 Speaker 1: have a first round grade on him, there's some that 442 00:20:34,548 --> 00:20:36,508 Speaker 1: have a third or fourth round grade on him. So 443 00:20:36,988 --> 00:20:40,828 Speaker 1: what he gets to do on the football field is 444 00:20:40,828 --> 00:20:44,668 Speaker 1: going to go a long way into whether confirming what 445 00:20:44,828 --> 00:20:48,708 Speaker 1: the conversation has been or denying it, okay, so he 446 00:20:48,788 --> 00:20:51,028 Speaker 1: has everything to gain. In as for C. J. Stroud 447 00:20:51,028 --> 00:20:52,788 Speaker 1: and Will Levis, we know they can throw the football. 448 00:20:52,788 --> 00:20:55,188 Speaker 1: They've proven it throughout their career. They're gonna go out 449 00:20:55,188 --> 00:20:57,468 Speaker 1: in their shorts and throw the ball over the field. 450 00:20:57,788 --> 00:21:00,748 Speaker 1: For me, Anthony Richardson has everything to gain with his 451 00:21:00,828 --> 00:21:04,108 Speaker 1: performance here at the Combine because he can really shore 452 00:21:04,188 --> 00:21:07,148 Speaker 1: up an opportunity to be a first round draft hit. Yeah, 453 00:21:07,148 --> 00:21:10,468 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Will Levis because everyone is talking 454 00:21:10,508 --> 00:21:13,988 Speaker 1: about Anthony Richardson. Everyone knows that Stroud is to kind 455 00:21:14,028 --> 00:21:17,268 Speaker 1: of proven commodity that's out there. But now Levis, how 456 00:21:17,268 --> 00:21:21,148 Speaker 1: about He's a combination of both great athleticism, can throw 457 00:21:21,188 --> 00:21:23,908 Speaker 1: the ball, but also, like you just said, Ryan has 458 00:21:23,948 --> 00:21:26,348 Speaker 1: proven it, has done it, so you've watched it. So 459 00:21:26,388 --> 00:21:28,868 Speaker 1: I'm excited for this young kid to go out there 460 00:21:29,228 --> 00:21:31,988 Speaker 1: shortsen a T shirt, throw the ball around. Had a 461 00:21:32,108 --> 00:21:35,148 Speaker 1: three point nine seven GPA. So when all the interviews 462 00:21:35,148 --> 00:21:37,908 Speaker 1: in the testing, smart guy will go and and press. 463 00:21:38,428 --> 00:21:39,948 Speaker 1: But I think he has a lot to gain. I 464 00:21:39,948 --> 00:21:42,628 Speaker 1: think he'll be able to jump the boards because you 465 00:21:42,668 --> 00:21:45,708 Speaker 1: know the combines at the time where that one prospect 466 00:21:45,748 --> 00:21:48,628 Speaker 1: goes out there and shines and everybody's like, Wow, he's 467 00:21:48,668 --> 00:21:51,468 Speaker 1: better than I thought he was. Like Ryan said yesterday, 468 00:21:51,628 --> 00:21:54,188 Speaker 1: one of these gems is gonna get Fomo doesn't want 469 00:21:54,188 --> 00:21:55,748 Speaker 1: to miss out, and I think Levis will have a 470 00:21:55,788 --> 00:21:58,108 Speaker 1: chance to be that guy. Yeah. I think all three 471 00:21:58,108 --> 00:22:01,068 Speaker 1: of them have so much the game as they go 472 00:22:01,108 --> 00:22:03,988 Speaker 1: out and participate in the combine. But I am going 473 00:22:04,028 --> 00:22:06,708 Speaker 1: to say a CJ. Stroud has a ton to gain 474 00:22:07,028 --> 00:22:10,068 Speaker 1: as he goes in to the combine. And the reason 475 00:22:10,148 --> 00:22:12,308 Speaker 1: we said we're not going to talk Bryce Young. Bryce Young, 476 00:22:12,348 --> 00:22:14,148 Speaker 1: he's not going to be competing out there, and Stroud 477 00:22:14,268 --> 00:22:16,828 Speaker 1: is the guy that everyone's saying it is possibly to 478 00:22:16,948 --> 00:22:19,148 Speaker 1: go the second quarterback in the draft. This is an 479 00:22:19,148 --> 00:22:22,268 Speaker 1: opportunity for him as much as possible over the course 480 00:22:22,268 --> 00:22:24,868 Speaker 1: of these days stand right next to Bryce Young and 481 00:22:24,948 --> 00:22:27,068 Speaker 1: showed the size difference. And then when it's time to 482 00:22:27,108 --> 00:22:29,268 Speaker 1: get out there on the field, maybe he goes out 483 00:22:29,308 --> 00:22:31,828 Speaker 1: there and everybody's expecting him to perform, but he just 484 00:22:32,148 --> 00:22:36,228 Speaker 1: exceeds expectations a little bit. Now the conversation continues to swirl, 485 00:22:36,308 --> 00:22:39,468 Speaker 1: Well he's bigger than Bryce Young. Maybe he's the guy 486 00:22:39,508 --> 00:22:42,108 Speaker 1: who needs to come off first and there's somebody drafting 487 00:22:42,188 --> 00:22:44,748 Speaker 1: up to one and it's not Bryce Young, And maybe 488 00:22:44,788 --> 00:22:46,628 Speaker 1: it starts today. It's not going to be just a 489 00:22:46,708 --> 00:22:49,068 Speaker 1: combine that may let him leap for all, but maybe 490 00:22:49,068 --> 00:22:51,828 Speaker 1: it starts to spark an idea and then followed up 491 00:22:51,828 --> 00:22:54,388 Speaker 1: by Pro Day and obviously all the interviews that take place. 492 00:22:54,588 --> 00:22:57,148 Speaker 1: This could be a good opportunity for him with Bryce 493 00:22:57,188 --> 00:23:00,548 Speaker 1: Young not performing, to start that process to possibly lead 494 00:23:00,548 --> 00:23:02,348 Speaker 1: for all. Yeah, we're starting to think of throw it 495 00:23:02,388 --> 00:23:04,628 Speaker 1: on Thursday, So I'm gonna go see J Strouch. But 496 00:23:04,668 --> 00:23:06,468 Speaker 1: only to your point is because it feels like he 497 00:23:06,508 --> 00:23:10,788 Speaker 1: has solidified at least the second quarterback off the board, 498 00:23:10,948 --> 00:23:12,828 Speaker 1: and the most to gain could be, like you said, 499 00:23:13,028 --> 00:23:15,268 Speaker 1: to leapfrog brace Young, depending on how the next six 500 00:23:15,348 --> 00:23:18,348 Speaker 1: weeks go. CJ. Strout has had an unbelievable career at 501 00:23:18,348 --> 00:23:20,908 Speaker 1: Ohio State. I think he has shown a lot of 502 00:23:21,028 --> 00:23:24,948 Speaker 1: dynamic play in within the offense for the Buckeyes. But 503 00:23:24,988 --> 00:23:26,868 Speaker 1: if he can go out and show out and show 504 00:23:26,948 --> 00:23:30,788 Speaker 1: solidify cement his status above both Will Loves and Anthony 505 00:23:30,868 --> 00:23:33,628 Speaker 1: Richardson just with all around play. I know physically Anthony 506 00:23:33,708 --> 00:23:36,308 Speaker 1: Richardson is going to be the most impressive, but CJ. Strout, 507 00:23:36,348 --> 00:23:38,428 Speaker 1: I think coming in on paper is at the top 508 00:23:38,468 --> 00:23:41,668 Speaker 1: of the three guys practicing this weekend. So if he 509 00:23:41,748 --> 00:23:43,468 Speaker 1: can show out, I think he's got the most game 510 00:23:43,508 --> 00:23:46,428 Speaker 1: because if the Bears hold and they go defense for 511 00:23:46,468 --> 00:23:48,508 Speaker 1: some reason that they do that, then it's going to 512 00:23:48,588 --> 00:23:50,828 Speaker 1: be just like a fire sale of quarterbacks over the 513 00:23:50,868 --> 00:23:53,348 Speaker 1: next couple of picks. Speaking of quarterbacks, and one of 514 00:23:53,348 --> 00:23:54,908 Speaker 1: those that we just mentioned on that list, this is 515 00:23:54,908 --> 00:23:57,148 Speaker 1: where it gets fun. On the second topic, throw down Thursday. 516 00:23:57,828 --> 00:24:00,028 Speaker 1: Will Levis went to Penn State, then he transferred to 517 00:24:00,108 --> 00:24:03,668 Speaker 1: Kentucky and the third part of his resume is that 518 00:24:03,708 --> 00:24:06,948 Speaker 1: he's a TikTok star follow me he mm hmmm, as 519 00:24:06,948 --> 00:24:10,508 Speaker 1: they all are at that age. Will Lovice, in his 520 00:24:10,628 --> 00:24:14,388 Speaker 1: downtime while he's playing college football, started creating viral videos 521 00:24:14,428 --> 00:24:17,548 Speaker 1: on TikTok and with some of his unique dining habits. 522 00:24:18,588 --> 00:24:23,748 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at how Will Lovis takes his coffee. Here, 523 00:24:26,268 --> 00:24:45,188 Speaker 1: I'm good. Do you drink your okay mayonnaise in the coffee? 524 00:24:45,188 --> 00:24:48,108 Speaker 1: And then this is how Will Levis eats bananas. Um 525 00:24:48,268 --> 00:24:53,068 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, brown spots, ripe rock doesn't matter. He eats 526 00:24:53,068 --> 00:24:56,068 Speaker 1: the peel and the whole banana and just sits there 527 00:24:56,068 --> 00:24:57,388 Speaker 1: and down to it. I guess a lot of shirt 528 00:24:57,428 --> 00:25:00,828 Speaker 1: on too. Um. Here we go. Those are two interesting 529 00:25:00,868 --> 00:25:04,268 Speaker 1: ways to take in your calories. Here's your second throat down. 530 00:25:04,508 --> 00:25:07,948 Speaker 1: Was a question, would you rather drink your coffee with 531 00:25:10,188 --> 00:25:13,748 Speaker 1: or banana that's all brown and spot it up with 532 00:25:13,788 --> 00:25:18,428 Speaker 1: the peel still on it? That's to you. You have 533 00:25:18,468 --> 00:25:22,988 Speaker 1: to go first, So I can't pull a Peter here, No, neither. 534 00:25:24,428 --> 00:25:26,188 Speaker 1: Peter pulled a Peter and didn't even want to do 535 00:25:26,228 --> 00:25:31,108 Speaker 1: the question. So you have, well, I've, I've I've. Let's preface, 536 00:25:31,188 --> 00:25:34,308 Speaker 1: I've never had a cup of coffee in my life. Okay, so, 537 00:25:34,628 --> 00:25:38,628 Speaker 1: and I love mayonnaise, but I don't think that would 538 00:25:38,668 --> 00:25:43,668 Speaker 1: be good either. So um, I'm gonna say I'd eat 539 00:25:43,748 --> 00:25:46,748 Speaker 1: the I'd eat the banana, you know, peel and all. 540 00:25:46,868 --> 00:25:50,388 Speaker 1: I guess you're making me choose here, I'd go I'd 541 00:25:50,428 --> 00:25:53,748 Speaker 1: go with that aspect of things. Um Like, the smell 542 00:25:53,748 --> 00:25:56,388 Speaker 1: of coffee and coffee in general just makes me, you know, sick, 543 00:25:56,468 --> 00:25:59,508 Speaker 1: So I would assume adding something I love like mayo 544 00:25:59,668 --> 00:26:02,748 Speaker 1: into the mix, I still wouldn't make it any better. Yeah. See, 545 00:26:03,108 --> 00:26:06,428 Speaker 1: I don't like mayonnaise. I don't really drink coffee. I've 546 00:26:06,468 --> 00:26:11,468 Speaker 1: tasted coffee before, but a banana and the peel seems 547 00:26:11,508 --> 00:26:14,988 Speaker 1: like a rough time in the bathroom. That just seems 548 00:26:14,988 --> 00:26:18,788 Speaker 1: like you're gonna have and you're not coffee. And will 549 00:26:18,828 --> 00:26:23,548 Speaker 1: do that because it doesn't drink coffee like I know 550 00:26:23,628 --> 00:26:26,068 Speaker 1: the guys I drink coffee that keep going to the bathroom. 551 00:26:26,668 --> 00:26:30,548 Speaker 1: I rather that than the struggle of being in the bathroom. Okay, 552 00:26:30,628 --> 00:26:33,828 Speaker 1: So I am gonna go coffee and mayonnaise. Maybe the 553 00:26:33,948 --> 00:26:37,348 Speaker 1: coffee takes the taste from the mayonnaise, and I add 554 00:26:37,348 --> 00:26:40,068 Speaker 1: something I don't know, but I'm going coffee mayonnaise, I said. 555 00:26:40,148 --> 00:26:43,228 Speaker 1: Will Lovis is a TikTok star. Gotta be gotta be 556 00:26:43,308 --> 00:26:46,668 Speaker 1: cautious with that because TikTok can cause a lot of issues. 557 00:26:46,708 --> 00:26:49,868 Speaker 1: A j brown juju smith shoester a lot a lot 558 00:26:49,948 --> 00:26:52,308 Speaker 1: going on. You gotta be careful with the TikTok and 559 00:26:52,508 --> 00:26:54,468 Speaker 1: deav to your surprise. You may not know, but that 560 00:26:54,508 --> 00:26:57,268 Speaker 1: banana peel has a ton of fiber in it and 561 00:26:57,308 --> 00:27:01,668 Speaker 1: it can help with the whole digestible process. Every single 562 00:27:01,788 --> 00:27:04,388 Speaker 1: day you you wake up, you can have to Google 563 00:27:04,388 --> 00:27:08,148 Speaker 1: you're breaking something tells me something, man, just believe it. 564 00:27:08,348 --> 00:27:11,508 Speaker 1: But with all of that said and done, I am 565 00:27:11,588 --> 00:27:14,108 Speaker 1: going with the male and the coffee. And I don't 566 00:27:14,148 --> 00:27:17,428 Speaker 1: like mayo and I don't like coffee. But to sit 567 00:27:17,468 --> 00:27:21,028 Speaker 1: there and attempt to chew up a banana peel just 568 00:27:21,148 --> 00:27:24,428 Speaker 1: sounds just not comfortable, just not the thing to do. 569 00:27:25,108 --> 00:27:27,948 Speaker 1: Mixing a little bit of mayo, swirl around the coffee 570 00:27:28,228 --> 00:27:29,868 Speaker 1: and just take it to the head. Go ahead and 571 00:27:29,948 --> 00:27:32,588 Speaker 1: down the coffee and you'll be okay, you'll live to 572 00:27:32,628 --> 00:27:34,508 Speaker 1: see another day. But you're gonna be sitting there just 573 00:27:34,588 --> 00:27:36,988 Speaker 1: munching on a banana peel like, no, I'm not I'm 574 00:27:36,988 --> 00:27:38,428 Speaker 1: not doing that. You have to get it over with 575 00:27:38,508 --> 00:27:40,908 Speaker 1: mentality when it comes to this choice and down the 576 00:27:40,988 --> 00:27:43,588 Speaker 1: cup of coffee I did. It was like, yes, is 577 00:27:43,628 --> 00:27:45,788 Speaker 1: that tequilo? No? I know you were worried about me, 578 00:27:45,828 --> 00:27:48,148 Speaker 1: but no, it was just coffee. M I too. I'm 579 00:27:48,148 --> 00:27:50,268 Speaker 1: gonna go with the mayonnaise in the coffee. There's a 580 00:27:50,508 --> 00:27:52,588 Speaker 1: bit of a Keto mentality that goes with this because 581 00:27:52,588 --> 00:27:55,068 Speaker 1: I think it's like the high fat content. And then 582 00:27:55,268 --> 00:27:57,228 Speaker 1: the key is now, because I did some heavy handed 583 00:27:57,228 --> 00:27:59,908 Speaker 1: research on this, you gotta get one of those milk frothers, 584 00:27:59,948 --> 00:28:02,308 Speaker 1: the stuff that whips the coffee around. So then the 585 00:28:02,308 --> 00:28:05,308 Speaker 1: mayonnaise really getting Really he didn't you didn't have all 586 00:28:05,308 --> 00:28:07,148 Speaker 1: of it? Yeah he did. Did you see what the time? 587 00:28:07,228 --> 00:28:09,108 Speaker 1: Can we roll out video again? You might not have to, 588 00:28:09,428 --> 00:28:11,228 Speaker 1: but if you if you saw how that video goes 589 00:28:11,268 --> 00:28:14,388 Speaker 1: and the next shot, his coffee looks beautiful and like 590 00:28:14,428 --> 00:28:16,148 Speaker 1: that when you have put milk in it. So he 591 00:28:16,228 --> 00:28:17,908 Speaker 1: had some kind of fancy scrawl. Here we go, So 592 00:28:17,948 --> 00:28:20,148 Speaker 1: the mayonnaise goes in. Okay, the shot goes back to 593 00:28:20,148 --> 00:28:22,068 Speaker 1: his friend when we see that. Look at that. That 594 00:28:22,308 --> 00:28:24,828 Speaker 1: is beautiful. That's what it looks like when you pour 595 00:28:24,908 --> 00:28:26,348 Speaker 1: some of that milk in there. All right, And to 596 00:28:26,468 --> 00:28:28,828 Speaker 1: Jason's point, yes, I do drink coffee. I'm at a 597 00:28:28,868 --> 00:28:31,388 Speaker 1: weird breakfast tip right now where nobody drinks coffee apparently, 598 00:28:31,428 --> 00:28:32,948 Speaker 1: But if I had to, I actually do drink the 599 00:28:32,948 --> 00:28:35,428 Speaker 1: coffee and I would do it with mayonnaise. Don't do 600 00:28:35,468 --> 00:28:37,148 Speaker 1: them both at one time, but yeah, will love us. 601 00:28:37,228 --> 00:28:39,588 Speaker 1: In this TikTok, his bio says he's in between jobs 602 00:28:39,668 --> 00:28:44,708 Speaker 1: right now, which I think is kind of funny. Hey, 603 00:28:44,748 --> 00:28:47,668 Speaker 1: what's up? We're back at Good Morning Football here's a 604 00:28:47,668 --> 00:28:50,668 Speaker 1: look at how the NFC North shook out in twenty 605 00:28:50,748 --> 00:28:53,468 Speaker 1: twenty two. There's, of course find themselves at the top 606 00:28:53,468 --> 00:28:57,188 Speaker 1: of the draft class selection. However, it's because they were 607 00:28:57,228 --> 00:29:00,388 Speaker 1: at the basement of the division and the nfcum Packers 608 00:29:00,388 --> 00:29:02,268 Speaker 1: a bit of a surprise. The lines were right there, 609 00:29:02,308 --> 00:29:04,868 Speaker 1: couldn't play their way into the playoffs and course of 610 00:29:04,948 --> 00:29:08,388 Speaker 1: Vikings clinch the NFC North early and with some heartbreak. 611 00:29:09,588 --> 00:29:11,988 Speaker 1: Actually hurts stopping action in some of those games, but 612 00:29:12,028 --> 00:29:13,828 Speaker 1: they obviously lost some the Giants in the first round 613 00:29:13,948 --> 00:29:17,028 Speaker 1: offseason two dos though within the NFC North, Jason, you 614 00:29:17,068 --> 00:29:19,028 Speaker 1: get to start first, who did you pick? I'm going 615 00:29:19,068 --> 00:29:21,748 Speaker 1: to start in the basement. I'm going to start with 616 00:29:21,788 --> 00:29:24,588 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. And all the chatter has been what 617 00:29:24,628 --> 00:29:26,588 Speaker 1: are they going to do with the number one pick? 618 00:29:26,788 --> 00:29:29,588 Speaker 1: And they have their quarterback? So what they do with 619 00:29:29,628 --> 00:29:32,028 Speaker 1: the number one pick, I do not believe it will 620 00:29:32,108 --> 00:29:35,708 Speaker 1: be either Price Young or CJ. Strout. Whether they decide 621 00:29:35,748 --> 00:29:38,108 Speaker 1: to trade it or not, who knows. But at the 622 00:29:38,188 --> 00:29:40,348 Speaker 1: end of the day, I think with that first pick, 623 00:29:40,548 --> 00:29:42,828 Speaker 1: they go out and they get a guy that can 624 00:29:42,908 --> 00:29:46,188 Speaker 1: affect the quarterback. We talked about it whether it's will Anderson, 625 00:29:46,268 --> 00:29:49,548 Speaker 1: Tyree Willson, Miles Murphy. One of these guys are going 626 00:29:49,628 --> 00:29:53,188 Speaker 1: to come in and impact this organization right away. You 627 00:29:53,228 --> 00:29:55,188 Speaker 1: want to build from those trenches. So once you get 628 00:29:55,228 --> 00:29:58,148 Speaker 1: a guy on defense that can disrupt everything, go out 629 00:29:58,148 --> 00:30:00,348 Speaker 1: and get yourself the offensive line, and whether that's through 630 00:30:00,388 --> 00:30:03,268 Speaker 1: free agency, whether that's through the draft, get somebody that 631 00:30:03,308 --> 00:30:06,628 Speaker 1: can protect us in fields and still allow him to grow. 632 00:30:06,908 --> 00:30:11,108 Speaker 1: And ultimately they need a number one wide receiver. Darnell Mooney, 633 00:30:11,148 --> 00:30:15,228 Speaker 1: a very explosive and exciting player. They blought over Chase Claypool. 634 00:30:15,548 --> 00:30:17,588 Speaker 1: Now go out and get you a guy. Guy, whether 635 00:30:17,628 --> 00:30:20,548 Speaker 1: it's maybe training for a te Higgins and Cincinnati, go 636 00:30:20,588 --> 00:30:22,268 Speaker 1: ahead and get you a guy that can help grow 637 00:30:22,588 --> 00:30:28,948 Speaker 1: justin fields. My team is the Detroit Lions. Very exciting. 638 00:30:29,068 --> 00:30:32,228 Speaker 1: I am very excited about this. I love them. I 639 00:30:32,308 --> 00:30:34,908 Speaker 1: love Dan Campbell, I love his approach. I love that 640 00:30:34,988 --> 00:30:38,068 Speaker 1: he hires and puts together a staff mostly of former players, 641 00:30:38,548 --> 00:30:40,388 Speaker 1: guys that know what's going on, what it's like to 642 00:30:40,388 --> 00:30:44,068 Speaker 1: be in those rooms and have the understanding of what 643 00:30:44,108 --> 00:30:46,668 Speaker 1: that is. What I didn't understand when I started looking 644 00:30:46,668 --> 00:30:49,508 Speaker 1: at this. The Detroit Lions have five picks in the 645 00:30:49,548 --> 00:30:53,628 Speaker 1: first eighty two picks. I mean they are loaded at 646 00:30:53,708 --> 00:30:57,388 Speaker 1: the NFL draft level six eighteen, forty nine, fifty six 647 00:30:57,668 --> 00:31:00,508 Speaker 1: and eighty two. They can make a real speah. They 648 00:31:00,588 --> 00:31:03,828 Speaker 1: also can use some of that draft capital to maybe 649 00:31:03,868 --> 00:31:08,708 Speaker 1: make some big moves. Sixteen point two million dollars under 650 00:31:08,748 --> 00:31:10,588 Speaker 1: the cap at the moment, so that gives them a 651 00:31:10,588 --> 00:31:12,308 Speaker 1: little bit of leeway. They're gonna have to find different 652 00:31:12,308 --> 00:31:16,228 Speaker 1: ways to go about things. Jamal Williams is an unrestricted 653 00:31:16,268 --> 00:31:20,748 Speaker 1: free agent. He broke Perry Sanders single season touchdown record. 654 00:31:20,988 --> 00:31:22,628 Speaker 1: You want to bring a guy back like that, add 655 00:31:22,748 --> 00:31:25,068 Speaker 1: is that legit in the red zone getting into the 656 00:31:25,148 --> 00:31:27,388 Speaker 1: end zone. He's gonna be a priority for them also 657 00:31:27,468 --> 00:31:29,148 Speaker 1: with the number six and number eighteen picks is the 658 00:31:29,148 --> 00:31:31,388 Speaker 1: way I'm going. I'm going. Devin Witherspoon from out of Illinois, 659 00:31:32,148 --> 00:31:34,668 Speaker 1: the corner, first corner off the board. I think has 660 00:31:34,708 --> 00:31:38,108 Speaker 1: been so good for the University of Illinois, what he 661 00:31:38,148 --> 00:31:40,028 Speaker 1: does in coverage, what he does with the line of scrimmage, 662 00:31:40,028 --> 00:31:42,548 Speaker 1: getting after running backs in the running game. I think 663 00:31:42,588 --> 00:31:46,548 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a great addition to Detroit Lions team 664 00:31:46,548 --> 00:31:49,428 Speaker 1: that has never quite got on right with Jeffakuda. When 665 00:31:49,468 --> 00:31:52,388 Speaker 1: he came out of Aisle State. Okay, at eighteen, I'm 666 00:31:52,428 --> 00:31:55,828 Speaker 1: going to tight end. They traded EJ. Hockinson too. Of course, 667 00:31:55,908 --> 00:31:58,788 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings last year, who made a huge impact. 668 00:31:58,948 --> 00:32:01,708 Speaker 1: They're gonna be looking for a tight end to take 669 00:32:01,748 --> 00:32:03,308 Speaker 1: his place. I got a guy for you out in 670 00:32:03,348 --> 00:32:07,668 Speaker 1: the Pac twelve print. Dalton Kincaid out of the University 671 00:32:07,668 --> 00:32:13,228 Speaker 1: of Utah is incredibly talented. I like him for their 672 00:32:13,228 --> 00:32:15,988 Speaker 1: first two picks. And then I'm going in free agency 673 00:32:16,028 --> 00:32:19,148 Speaker 1: to Cincinnati and I'm looking at either Von Belle or 674 00:32:19,228 --> 00:32:22,548 Speaker 1: Jessee Bates as a safety to bolster that defensive backfield 675 00:32:22,708 --> 00:32:25,028 Speaker 1: next year. On the defensive side, yeah, I mean, I 676 00:32:25,108 --> 00:32:28,068 Speaker 1: love all those selections for Detroit, and a team on 677 00:32:28,148 --> 00:32:31,668 Speaker 1: the rise should be attractive to some free agents this year. 678 00:32:31,908 --> 00:32:35,068 Speaker 1: I got the Green Bay Packers, and Jamie, you'll be 679 00:32:35,148 --> 00:32:37,228 Speaker 1: very happy. I'm not gonna spend a ton of time. 680 00:32:37,508 --> 00:32:40,708 Speaker 1: All I'm gonna say is figure out the quarterback situation. 681 00:32:40,988 --> 00:32:43,188 Speaker 1: So once they do that, then it's figuring out the 682 00:32:43,228 --> 00:32:45,588 Speaker 1: cap situation they have. They have a little bit of 683 00:32:45,588 --> 00:32:49,268 Speaker 1: a cap issue. We saw earlier in the offseason Aaron 684 00:32:49,348 --> 00:32:52,708 Speaker 1: Jones restructure his contract. That helped out, but they also 685 00:32:52,788 --> 00:32:55,708 Speaker 1: have some veteran players who they know are gonna be there. 686 00:32:55,868 --> 00:32:58,908 Speaker 1: The Life of Girey, Alexanders, the Lis of Kenny Clark, 687 00:32:59,308 --> 00:33:02,468 Speaker 1: David Bakiardy. We know they're gonna be there. Let's get 688 00:33:02,508 --> 00:33:05,788 Speaker 1: some moving on their contracts. Let's figure that out, let's 689 00:33:05,828 --> 00:33:10,428 Speaker 1: create more space for our salary cap. And then they 690 00:33:10,468 --> 00:33:12,468 Speaker 1: have some free agents. The problem is when you have 691 00:33:12,508 --> 00:33:15,308 Speaker 1: a veteran team and you don't make the playoffs, you 692 00:33:15,348 --> 00:33:17,948 Speaker 1: have to figure out what free agents you keep, what 693 00:33:18,468 --> 00:33:20,948 Speaker 1: free agents you don't keep. But I think they do. 694 00:33:21,508 --> 00:33:25,268 Speaker 1: They make some good decision with young guys. Keishan Nixon, 695 00:33:26,028 --> 00:33:30,548 Speaker 1: explosive returner, made plays all year. And another guy who's 696 00:33:30,588 --> 00:33:33,628 Speaker 1: not a big name, Rudy Ford. He's a guy who 697 00:33:33,668 --> 00:33:37,268 Speaker 1: when he came in he made plays, impact plays. You 698 00:33:37,388 --> 00:33:39,588 Speaker 1: keep a guy like that, and then once you figure 699 00:33:39,588 --> 00:33:42,228 Speaker 1: out your quarterback situation, you decide what to do with 700 00:33:42,228 --> 00:33:44,308 Speaker 1: that fifteen pick in the draft, and you go out 701 00:33:44,348 --> 00:33:46,548 Speaker 1: there and you try to crush the draft as best 702 00:33:46,548 --> 00:33:48,668 Speaker 1: as possible. You said you weren't going to take a 703 00:33:48,668 --> 00:33:50,428 Speaker 1: long time on the Packers, but you only said briefly 704 00:33:50,468 --> 00:33:51,988 Speaker 1: to figure out the quarterback, and then you move on 705 00:33:52,028 --> 00:33:54,908 Speaker 1: to all of the topics, which I appreciate. I appreciate 706 00:33:55,028 --> 00:33:57,508 Speaker 1: that that's how you avoid having to go back to 707 00:33:57,588 --> 00:33:59,828 Speaker 1: the topic that just we just need an answer and 708 00:33:59,828 --> 00:34:02,668 Speaker 1: then I can't go there again. I was going to 709 00:34:02,748 --> 00:34:04,708 Speaker 1: talk a little bit about Kirk Cousins, but I'm not 710 00:34:04,708 --> 00:34:06,308 Speaker 1: going to sit next to Jason and ask him to 711 00:34:06,308 --> 00:34:08,348 Speaker 1: take less money over the next couple of years, because 712 00:34:08,468 --> 00:34:10,428 Speaker 1: Jason wouldn't advocate for that, even though I think a 713 00:34:10,468 --> 00:34:12,428 Speaker 1: little bit that's what she should do. So I'm just 714 00:34:12,468 --> 00:34:14,508 Speaker 1: going to look at Brian Flores and what the defense 715 00:34:14,548 --> 00:34:17,468 Speaker 1: did or did not do last season for the Minnesota Vikings. 716 00:34:17,468 --> 00:34:19,188 Speaker 1: They were in close games. They won a lot of 717 00:34:19,188 --> 00:34:24,348 Speaker 1: close games, and their office looked pretty great at times. 718 00:34:24,428 --> 00:34:29,308 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, highly skilled, great running backs. Kirk Cousins is talented. 719 00:34:29,348 --> 00:34:32,148 Speaker 1: Whatever you think about what's on his paycheck, that's not 720 00:34:32,188 --> 00:34:34,668 Speaker 1: about this conversation. With This conversation is about the defense. 721 00:34:34,828 --> 00:34:36,468 Speaker 1: They have a lot of decisions to make. Things need 722 00:34:36,468 --> 00:34:39,748 Speaker 1: to be fixed. They went out, they let go at Donnetell. 723 00:34:39,868 --> 00:34:42,188 Speaker 1: They went out and got Brian Flores, who is, as 724 00:34:42,308 --> 00:34:44,548 Speaker 1: Jason can attest to, one of the great defensive minds 725 00:34:44,588 --> 00:34:46,188 Speaker 1: in the NFL right now. He had a couple of 726 00:34:46,228 --> 00:34:49,748 Speaker 1: years in Pittsburgh and now is back in a rightful 727 00:34:49,828 --> 00:34:52,428 Speaker 1: spot as a defensive coordinator for a very good team. 728 00:34:52,748 --> 00:34:55,228 Speaker 1: And for as much as I love hearing Kevin O'Connell 729 00:34:55,228 --> 00:34:58,348 Speaker 1: wax poetically about coaching justin Jefferson, I need Brian Flores 730 00:34:58,388 --> 00:34:59,908 Speaker 1: who go out and find some guys in free agency 731 00:35:00,028 --> 00:35:01,868 Speaker 1: or in the draft that he can feel the same 732 00:35:01,908 --> 00:35:04,628 Speaker 1: about putting some pride on the Vikings defensive side of 733 00:35:04,628 --> 00:35:06,668 Speaker 1: the ball because it was just not good enough last year. Yeah, 734 00:35:06,748 --> 00:35:09,228 Speaker 1: let's go blow. I think b Flow is going to 735 00:35:09,268 --> 00:35:12,548 Speaker 1: be a great addition, not only his mind for football, 736 00:35:12,828 --> 00:35:15,948 Speaker 1: his approach to the players, to how he wants to 737 00:35:16,028 --> 00:35:18,908 Speaker 1: run things when you came there when eighteen was his 738 00:35:18,948 --> 00:35:22,548 Speaker 1: first year, really calling our defense aggressive, going out there 739 00:35:22,548 --> 00:35:25,508 Speaker 1: and making plays, letting his guys go and play and 740 00:35:25,588 --> 00:35:27,548 Speaker 1: be free. So I'm excited to watch this Minnesota d 741 00:35:27,788 --> 00:35:29,908 Speaker 1: There you go, NFC North. You heard it here first, 742 00:35:30,228 --> 00:35:32,148 Speaker 1: Will Silva. What else do we need to know about 743 00:35:32,148 --> 00:35:34,108 Speaker 1: You're anchored out on the West coast, but you always 744 00:35:34,108 --> 00:35:37,228 Speaker 1: have us covered all over the country. Yes, at least 745 00:35:37,228 --> 00:35:40,388 Speaker 1: I try to. We start with the Cults and they're 746 00:35:40,428 --> 00:35:44,588 Speaker 1: currently holding the fourth overall pick and they are in 747 00:35:44,748 --> 00:35:48,228 Speaker 1: desperate need of a franchise quarterback. Are they going to 748 00:35:48,228 --> 00:35:51,628 Speaker 1: trade up and get one? Well, GM Chris Bollard says 749 00:35:52,228 --> 00:35:59,028 Speaker 1: that may not necessarily be needed. Everybody has just automatically 750 00:35:59,108 --> 00:36:01,868 Speaker 1: stamped that you've got to move up to one to 751 00:36:01,908 --> 00:36:03,908 Speaker 1: get it right. I don't know if I agree with that. 752 00:36:05,028 --> 00:36:08,988 Speaker 1: I don't. But that's going to be the narrative, and 753 00:36:09,028 --> 00:36:10,748 Speaker 1: that's okay. You'll got to write something. You got to 754 00:36:10,788 --> 00:36:14,748 Speaker 1: keep the news flowing. So but I don't necessarily know 755 00:36:14,748 --> 00:36:17,908 Speaker 1: if that's the I don't know if that's the right 756 00:36:17,948 --> 00:36:21,108 Speaker 1: course of business. If when we meet as a staff 757 00:36:21,148 --> 00:36:23,748 Speaker 1: and we say, okay, this is what we need to do. 758 00:36:23,788 --> 00:36:25,908 Speaker 1: This is the guy for the next ten to fifteen years, 759 00:36:25,908 --> 00:36:28,308 Speaker 1: and we think he's the right guy, Sure we'll do it. 760 00:36:28,828 --> 00:36:34,708 Speaker 1: But who's to say we won't get one at four. Well, 761 00:36:34,748 --> 00:36:38,548 Speaker 1: the news is always flowing as more players arriving in 762 00:36:38,668 --> 00:36:41,668 Speaker 1: Indie today for the Combine, the action picking up today 763 00:36:41,788 --> 00:36:44,908 Speaker 1: is the defensive linemen and linebackers take the field. Why 764 00:36:44,948 --> 00:36:48,148 Speaker 1: others will do measurements and interviews, and that's what matters 765 00:36:48,228 --> 00:36:52,948 Speaker 1: most to Lion's head coach Stan Campbell. Obviously, they get 766 00:36:52,948 --> 00:36:54,868 Speaker 1: the medical during the week. But for us to be 767 00:36:54,868 --> 00:36:57,788 Speaker 1: able to do these formal interviews or informal is to 768 00:36:57,868 --> 00:36:59,948 Speaker 1: me the biggest part of all this. It's not even 769 00:37:00,028 --> 00:37:02,508 Speaker 1: the working out portion. Like, to me, you grate him 770 00:37:02,548 --> 00:37:05,508 Speaker 1: off the tape, grate off somebody here in pajamas running 771 00:37:05,508 --> 00:37:12,468 Speaker 1: around on forty with no defender around or offender. Yeah, 772 00:37:12,628 --> 00:37:16,468 Speaker 1: but coach Cavill, we like it. Three pm Eastern, You 773 00:37:16,508 --> 00:37:20,628 Speaker 1: can watch the combine coverage on NFL Network and NFL Plus. 774 00:37:20,788 --> 00:37:28,388 Speaker 1: What's going on, guys,
