1
00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,668
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in

2
00:00:06,748 --> 00:00:31,828
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:22,388 --> 00:00:24,068
Speaker 2: Good Morning Football.

4
00:00:24,348 --> 00:00:26,468
Speaker 3: One of my favorite things about working with Mantai is

5
00:00:26,468 --> 00:00:29,388
Speaker 3: that he called everything I do a presentation. So he's like,

6
00:00:29,508 --> 00:00:32,868
Speaker 3: welcome to my fantasy quarterback presentation. Not just a segment.

7
00:00:32,988 --> 00:00:34,668
Speaker 3: You can get a segment on another network. This is

8
00:00:34,668 --> 00:00:39,628
Speaker 3: a presentation, all right. At number ten, we've got Rock Party,

9
00:00:40,068 --> 00:00:42,828
Speaker 3: Rock Party, a resurgence season. I had the forty nine

10
00:00:42,908 --> 00:00:46,068
Speaker 3: ers with at least double digit wins, probably eleven. That's

11
00:00:46,108 --> 00:00:48,148
Speaker 3: the number. It sounds low, but remember the beginning of

12
00:00:48,148 --> 00:00:49,148
Speaker 3: the season, it's always low.

13
00:00:49,468 --> 00:00:50,068
Speaker 4: Rock Party.

14
00:00:50,228 --> 00:00:53,548
Speaker 3: The opportunity here for him to succeed in this season.

15
00:00:53,828 --> 00:00:55,588
Speaker 4: The man has some you know, some money.

16
00:00:55,668 --> 00:00:56,388
Speaker 2: Now we got it.

17
00:00:56,468 --> 00:01:00,388
Speaker 3: There's expectations, so ultimately he comes in at number ten.

18
00:01:00,428 --> 00:01:01,748
Speaker 4: It's all about throwing quarterbacks.

19
00:01:01,788 --> 00:01:04,388
Speaker 3: At number nine, Sarah, you ready for It's Baker Mayfield.

20
00:01:04,428 --> 00:01:07,348
Speaker 3: You'll see a lot of him yet again, Baker Mayfield.

21
00:01:07,468 --> 00:01:10,268
Speaker 4: Mike Evan's still there, Jep. The passing game is still there.

22
00:01:10,428 --> 00:01:10,668
Speaker 5: Check.

23
00:01:10,908 --> 00:01:13,268
Speaker 3: This is an opportunity for Baker to yet again be

24
00:01:13,388 --> 00:01:14,908
Speaker 3: a stud in your fantasy. I don't think he was

25
00:01:14,948 --> 00:01:16,228
Speaker 3: in my top ten last season.

26
00:01:16,308 --> 00:01:18,028
Speaker 4: So pretty happy about that one.

27
00:01:18,348 --> 00:01:22,068
Speaker 3: At number eight, we got our sophomore bow Nicks. You

28
00:01:22,108 --> 00:01:23,868
Speaker 3: talked about that with both of you like that one.

29
00:01:23,908 --> 00:01:24,788
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't wow.

30
00:01:25,668 --> 00:01:26,788
Speaker 4: It was a surround sound.

31
00:01:26,828 --> 00:01:29,548
Speaker 2: Oo the secrets out to early, So I.

32
00:01:29,588 --> 00:01:31,548
Speaker 3: The secrets out you early. Well, here's the thing about

33
00:01:31,548 --> 00:01:34,948
Speaker 3: bon Nicks. Remember the guy also uses his legs more

34
00:01:34,988 --> 00:01:37,828
Speaker 3: than you even think, so those count for fantasy points

35
00:01:37,868 --> 00:01:40,628
Speaker 3: as well. Remember it's not just about who's the best quarterback,

36
00:01:40,628 --> 00:01:41,188
Speaker 3: it's about.

37
00:01:41,028 --> 00:01:42,228
Speaker 4: Who scores you points.

38
00:01:42,428 --> 00:01:44,588
Speaker 3: So bo Nicks, he's going to score you those touchdowns.

39
00:01:44,628 --> 00:01:46,668
Speaker 3: He's going to get you those rushing yards. It's a

40
00:01:46,788 --> 00:01:49,028
Speaker 3: nice mix of both, speaking.

41
00:01:48,628 --> 00:01:52,508
Speaker 4: Of rushing yards. At number seven, it's Kyler Murray. He

42
00:01:52,588 --> 00:01:54,468
Speaker 4: feels like the video game cheat code.

43
00:01:54,508 --> 00:01:56,868
Speaker 3: It's like that weird bootleg dropped back to the left thing,

44
00:01:56,948 --> 00:01:58,548
Speaker 3: Like that thing always gets you points.

45
00:01:58,588 --> 00:02:00,548
Speaker 4: It's like the he plays a lot of video games.

46
00:02:00,588 --> 00:02:02,748
Speaker 3: He is some sort of left right, left, right, up

47
00:02:02,788 --> 00:02:03,468
Speaker 3: down whatever.

48
00:02:03,268 --> 00:02:07,308
Speaker 4: That thing was right exactly, you know exactly what I'm

49
00:02:07,348 --> 00:02:07,948
Speaker 4: talking about.

50
00:02:08,108 --> 00:02:10,268
Speaker 3: A full season of him being healthy means a full

51
00:02:10,308 --> 00:02:14,708
Speaker 3: season of fantasy points for you. At number six, Patrick Mahomes,

52
00:02:14,748 --> 00:02:18,468
Speaker 3: Remember this is a list of fantasy quarterbacks, not who's

53
00:02:18,828 --> 00:02:19,628
Speaker 3: the best quarterback.

54
00:02:19,708 --> 00:02:21,428
Speaker 4: It's not wind share. That's a whole different thing.

55
00:02:21,788 --> 00:02:23,828
Speaker 3: This is a fantasy situation. Last year we saw a

56
00:02:23,868 --> 00:02:25,628
Speaker 3: lot of one possession games. You know what the thing

57
00:02:25,668 --> 00:02:28,068
Speaker 3: about math is, Yeah, you regress to the meat over

58
00:02:28,108 --> 00:02:30,828
Speaker 3: a long amount of time, doesn't matter. Patrick Mahomes, he's

59
00:02:30,868 --> 00:02:34,028
Speaker 3: going to regress up in that touchdown number this season,

60
00:02:34,068 --> 00:02:36,788
Speaker 3: twenty six. That feels like a very very low floor.

61
00:02:37,508 --> 00:02:39,548
Speaker 3: You know, maybe go up eight or nine touchdowns from

62
00:02:39,588 --> 00:02:42,548
Speaker 3: there as your base. So Patrick Mahomes, fully you want

63
00:02:42,628 --> 00:02:46,308
Speaker 3: him in fantasy number five. Jayden Daniels, we would talk

64
00:02:46,308 --> 00:02:50,548
Speaker 3: about the duel for guys like, yeah, yeah, it's gonna

65
00:02:50,588 --> 00:02:52,228
Speaker 3: be a good number one fantasy.

66
00:02:51,868 --> 00:02:53,468
Speaker 4: Too, easier number one number one.

67
00:02:53,468 --> 00:02:54,908
Speaker 6: You don't even let her finish, man, I let her

68
00:02:54,908 --> 00:02:56,308
Speaker 6: finish the presentation before.

69
00:02:56,068 --> 00:03:00,628
Speaker 4: You start listen. This is my presentation. You can have

70
00:03:00,788 --> 00:03:02,748
Speaker 4: your presentation next minute.

71
00:03:04,548 --> 00:03:07,028
Speaker 3: Me my slide deck, PowerPoint, that's my past.

72
00:03:07,028 --> 00:03:07,508
Speaker 4: Anyways.

73
00:03:07,628 --> 00:03:10,988
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson comes in at number four. This is an

74
00:03:11,028 --> 00:03:13,108
Speaker 3: interesting one because when you have a guy like Dereck

75
00:03:13,188 --> 00:03:17,268
Speaker 3: Henry there with you, sometimes he steals your fantasy rushing yards.

76
00:03:17,348 --> 00:03:20,428
Speaker 3: So it actually kind of goes both ways. Lamar steals

77
00:03:20,468 --> 00:03:22,988
Speaker 3: from Derek. Derek steels from Lamar. It's good for the

78
00:03:23,068 --> 00:03:26,308
Speaker 3: Ravens all around, but maybe for your fantasy purposes. Just

79
00:03:26,388 --> 00:03:28,668
Speaker 3: kind of figure that one out a little bit differently.

80
00:03:28,788 --> 00:03:30,588
Speaker 3: Those four interceptions, that number.

81
00:03:30,388 --> 00:03:31,628
Speaker 4: Could potentially go up.

82
00:03:31,668 --> 00:03:34,388
Speaker 3: Why because that's again one of those things regression works

83
00:03:34,428 --> 00:03:35,108
Speaker 3: both ways.

84
00:03:35,268 --> 00:03:37,268
Speaker 4: At number three, tush push.

85
00:03:37,068 --> 00:03:38,468
Speaker 7: Still theresh pool.

86
00:03:38,628 --> 00:03:39,948
Speaker 4: You get the same points.

87
00:03:39,668 --> 00:03:41,708
Speaker 3: For a Toush push put Toush push as.

88
00:03:41,628 --> 00:03:43,468
Speaker 4: You do for a regular run. It doesn't matter.

89
00:03:43,668 --> 00:03:45,988
Speaker 3: You still get those fantasy points for you is Jalen

90
00:03:46,028 --> 00:03:48,068
Speaker 3: Hurts had a billion Toush pushes. I think we go

91
00:03:48,148 --> 00:03:50,948
Speaker 3: for a billion plus another season of a billion this year.

92
00:03:51,148 --> 00:03:52,588
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts, it's a guy you want.

93
00:03:52,748 --> 00:03:54,588
Speaker 2: Always points on the one yard line.

94
00:03:54,628 --> 00:03:55,108
Speaker 7: Give it to me.

95
00:03:56,068 --> 00:03:56,868
Speaker 4: He doesn't even have to do it.

96
00:03:56,908 --> 00:03:58,188
Speaker 3: Somebody else does a four of it, You get the

97
00:03:58,188 --> 00:03:58,908
Speaker 3: fantasy points.

98
00:03:58,948 --> 00:04:00,028
Speaker 4: It works out really well.

99
00:04:00,388 --> 00:04:03,548
Speaker 3: We've been talking about this guy, next guy's defense all morning.

100
00:04:03,748 --> 00:04:05,148
Speaker 4: Well, when you don't have I have a strong.

101
00:04:04,908 --> 00:04:07,228
Speaker 3: Defense, you're gonna have to score even more points. Right,

102
00:04:07,348 --> 00:04:10,348
Speaker 3: So Joe Burrow, he could probably This is a guy

103
00:04:10,348 --> 00:04:13,308
Speaker 3: who I project to lead the league in passing touchdowns

104
00:04:13,308 --> 00:04:15,748
Speaker 3: and it's not even close. So if you're keeping track

105
00:04:15,788 --> 00:04:17,828
Speaker 3: of those things at home, I think that this is

106
00:04:17,908 --> 00:04:20,148
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow, so it could get up to fifty this year, guys,

107
00:04:20,188 --> 00:04:21,668
Speaker 3: and he thought he is.

108
00:04:21,428 --> 00:04:22,588
Speaker 7: He is a good runner too.

109
00:04:22,748 --> 00:04:24,428
Speaker 3: He is a good but I'm just talking about that.

110
00:04:24,948 --> 00:04:27,308
Speaker 3: They're going to need to be that defense. Give him

111
00:04:27,308 --> 00:04:29,308
Speaker 3: twenty five points per game last season and that was

112
00:04:29,428 --> 00:04:32,148
Speaker 3: when they had Trey Hendrickson out there, right, So he's

113
00:04:32,188 --> 00:04:33,708
Speaker 3: in Florida by the way, if you haven't seen the.

114
00:04:33,628 --> 00:04:38,308
Speaker 6: Social media on the freeway, a lowly drive alone and

115
00:04:38,428 --> 00:04:41,468
Speaker 6: maybe I ten Hero to Jacksonville, maybe right.

116
00:04:41,428 --> 00:04:42,228
Speaker 2: Down ninety five.

117
00:04:42,228 --> 00:04:42,588
Speaker 8: I don't know.

118
00:04:42,628 --> 00:04:44,108
Speaker 4: All we know is location, Sarah.

119
00:04:44,428 --> 00:04:47,468
Speaker 3: He just wants a good sweat, okay, a good sweat and.

120
00:04:47,388 --> 00:04:48,748
Speaker 4: At number one.

121
00:04:49,228 --> 00:04:51,628
Speaker 3: This guy is number one last season. He'll be number

122
00:04:51,628 --> 00:04:55,548
Speaker 3: one next season until he's not. The rushing plus passing

123
00:04:55,548 --> 00:04:58,788
Speaker 3: capabilities of Josh Allen are the reason that your Buffalo

124
00:04:58,788 --> 00:05:01,868
Speaker 3: Bill's quarterback, the reigning MVP of the league. That's the

125
00:05:01,868 --> 00:05:03,988
Speaker 3: guy who is going to be your fantasy number one

126
00:05:03,988 --> 00:05:06,388
Speaker 3: as well. Mantime, Julia, do you know when you should

127
00:05:07,028 --> 00:05:10,708
Speaker 3: optimally draft a quarterback? Not so late because the difference

128
00:05:10,748 --> 00:05:13,188
Speaker 3: between quarterback one and quarterback ten isn't that much.

129
00:05:13,228 --> 00:05:15,508
Speaker 4: So that's for your fantasy draft. Maybe you don't get

130
00:05:15,548 --> 00:05:16,228
Speaker 4: Josh Allen in.

131
00:05:16,188 --> 00:05:19,228
Speaker 3: That case, but the difference between one and I don't know,

132
00:05:19,348 --> 00:05:21,668
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray isn't that high, so you.

133
00:05:21,548 --> 00:05:23,068
Speaker 4: Certainly want to make sure not.

134
00:05:23,388 --> 00:05:24,028
Speaker 2: I feel like that's.

135
00:05:23,948 --> 00:05:25,988
Speaker 6: Hard for people though, Like I hear what are saying,

136
00:05:26,028 --> 00:05:27,988
Speaker 6: because I get your fantasy team, right, So you want

137
00:05:28,028 --> 00:05:30,388
Speaker 6: to be into like your guy and it's the quarterback thing. Like,

138
00:05:30,428 --> 00:05:32,668
Speaker 6: that's really good advice because I think you can know

139
00:05:32,708 --> 00:05:34,788
Speaker 6: that and Cyndy can tell you then she can crunch

140
00:05:34,828 --> 00:05:35,148
Speaker 6: the number.

141
00:05:35,228 --> 00:05:37,748
Speaker 4: I say it, but I think, but people in the face. Yeah,

142
00:05:37,828 --> 00:05:39,508
Speaker 4: but you want to grab your guy, and you do

143
00:05:39,548 --> 00:05:40,988
Speaker 4: want to grab your guy. You want to like him.

144
00:05:41,028 --> 00:05:41,388
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

145
00:05:41,428 --> 00:05:42,588
Speaker 4: I kind of like all these guys.

146
00:05:42,628 --> 00:05:44,748
Speaker 3: So there's a lot to love about each and every

147
00:05:44,748 --> 00:05:46,628
Speaker 3: one of them. So if you don't necessarily get Josh,

148
00:05:47,028 --> 00:05:47,428
Speaker 3: you can.

149
00:05:47,308 --> 00:05:48,388
Speaker 2: Follow low with Joe Burrow.

150
00:05:48,468 --> 00:05:51,108
Speaker 4: Who's what Jalen hurts lamars what's.

151
00:05:50,908 --> 00:05:51,348
Speaker 2: Not to like?

152
00:05:52,068 --> 00:05:55,348
Speaker 5: There are some missing people on here, though, Cynthia.

153
00:05:55,588 --> 00:06:00,388
Speaker 4: You got Jared Golf, Jared Jordan Love, Jared Goff's eleven.

154
00:06:00,468 --> 00:06:02,468
Speaker 6: Well, we don't know, Cynthia, that wasn't in the presentations.

155
00:06:02,508 --> 00:06:03,788
Speaker 6: You could just be saying that right now.

156
00:06:03,908 --> 00:06:04,788
Speaker 4: It's in the appendix.

157
00:06:04,948 --> 00:06:08,188
Speaker 3: I will circulate the deck later so you can see

158
00:06:08,188 --> 00:06:08,748
Speaker 3: it in the appendix.

159
00:06:08,828 --> 00:06:09,748
Speaker 2: Orry, who else jer Gotha?

160
00:06:09,748 --> 00:06:10,868
Speaker 7: Who else is Jordan Love?

161
00:06:11,788 --> 00:06:13,788
Speaker 3: I think it would say justin Herbert? But they run

162
00:06:13,828 --> 00:06:16,508
Speaker 3: the ball Herbert. They run the ball a lot.

163
00:06:16,588 --> 00:06:19,548
Speaker 6: So that's remember you have to where's Dak And here

164
00:06:19,708 --> 00:06:24,788
Speaker 6: there's Jack in your ranking, Cynthia.

165
00:06:23,828 --> 00:06:25,668
Speaker 4: Dex's not. I went and draft him. There's usually twelve

166
00:06:25,668 --> 00:06:28,548
Speaker 4: people ain't in the ten. He's not in twelve, so

167
00:06:29,708 --> 00:06:30,628
Speaker 4: he's not in the twelve.

168
00:06:31,148 --> 00:06:33,748
Speaker 7: I gott be careful. I got you to be careful.

169
00:06:34,188 --> 00:06:35,828
Speaker 4: I don't get me wrong.

170
00:06:35,908 --> 00:06:39,228
Speaker 3: I just I'm going with you know, there's there's a formula.

171
00:06:38,828 --> 00:06:41,388
Speaker 5: That I do love this this list, Cynthia. I think

172
00:06:41,428 --> 00:06:44,788
Speaker 5: the biggest surprise to me, honestly is Patrick Mahomes in this,

173
00:06:44,948 --> 00:06:49,428
Speaker 5: because from a fantasy perspective, he does. He does do

174
00:06:49,588 --> 00:06:52,388
Speaker 5: a lot of things, but when it comes to getting

175
00:06:52,428 --> 00:06:54,508
Speaker 5: targets and throwing the ball in the past couple of years,

176
00:06:54,508 --> 00:06:56,268
Speaker 5: you know, Cynthia, you're the You're the guru at this

177
00:06:56,548 --> 00:06:58,628
Speaker 5: the past few years that hasn't been that type of

178
00:06:58,628 --> 00:07:01,308
Speaker 5: production from him and from a fantasy perspective.

179
00:07:01,348 --> 00:07:02,308
Speaker 7: So that's that's.

180
00:07:02,108 --> 00:07:04,388
Speaker 5: One of those things, like man, Cynthia knows know something

181
00:07:04,588 --> 00:07:06,468
Speaker 5: I don't know. So that's the one I'm keeping my own.

182
00:07:06,548 --> 00:07:07,828
Speaker 4: We talked about this yesterday.

183
00:07:08,308 --> 00:07:11,508
Speaker 3: Andy Reid with some time rebuilding the left side of

184
00:07:11,548 --> 00:07:15,148
Speaker 3: that offensive line, figuring out a new kind of situation

185
00:07:15,228 --> 00:07:17,908
Speaker 3: with maybe a little bit greater running back health and

186
00:07:17,988 --> 00:07:20,108
Speaker 3: consistency in the run game. That will all help Patrick

187
00:07:20,148 --> 00:07:22,508
Speaker 3: Mahomes in the passing for she rising big she rights.

188
00:07:22,588 --> 00:07:24,628
Speaker 4: There's a lot of ways to take a big step forward.

189
00:07:24,668 --> 00:07:26,788
Speaker 3: And I actually think, you know, Trevis Kelsey's not my

190
00:07:26,908 --> 00:07:29,708
Speaker 3: number one tight end this year, but fully draftable. Last

191
00:07:29,788 --> 00:07:32,068
Speaker 3: year he was not a great fantasy tight end. He

192
00:07:32,148 --> 00:07:34,308
Speaker 3: was a great real tight end, but a fantasy tight end.

193
00:07:34,388 --> 00:07:36,388
Speaker 3: Not so great this year, fully draftable for me. I

194
00:07:36,388 --> 00:07:38,748
Speaker 3: think those things all come around year and year out

195
00:07:38,788 --> 00:07:39,828
Speaker 3: that kind of change things around.

196
00:07:39,908 --> 00:07:40,308
Speaker 7: Cynthia.

197
00:07:40,388 --> 00:07:42,468
Speaker 9: I love your list, and like they say, you learn

198
00:07:42,548 --> 00:07:43,308
Speaker 9: something every day.

199
00:07:43,348 --> 00:07:44,108
Speaker 7: I appreciate it.

200
00:07:44,188 --> 00:07:48,828
Speaker 9: But I will say Florida board to Florida boy, got to.

201
00:07:48,908 --> 00:07:52,668
Speaker 7: Move him up. I understand, I understand. I understand Derrick

202
00:07:52,708 --> 00:07:54,148
Speaker 7: Henry takes away his touches.

203
00:07:54,388 --> 00:07:57,068
Speaker 9: One thing about Lamar Jackson playing against him, watching him

204
00:07:57,068 --> 00:07:58,068
Speaker 9: the last few years.

205
00:07:57,908 --> 00:07:59,268
Speaker 7: We know he's gonna put up points.

206
00:07:59,308 --> 00:08:01,188
Speaker 9: We know he's gonna get points, not on the board,

207
00:08:01,348 --> 00:08:03,828
Speaker 9: but in fantasy. I love your list, Cynthia. Once again

208
00:08:04,508 --> 00:08:07,308
Speaker 9: Fromar Jackson. I have to see him, Scooter. I put

209
00:08:07,388 --> 00:08:10,108
Speaker 9: him at probably two three, but I love what you

210
00:08:10,148 --> 00:08:12,868
Speaker 9: got going on Florida board to Floridabilamar Jackson got a

211
00:08:12,908 --> 00:08:13,428
Speaker 9: bump them up.

212
00:08:13,428 --> 00:08:17,508
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm with you again. That's the difference between like

213
00:08:18,068 --> 00:08:21,188
Speaker 3: fantasy and reality, right, because I'm not saying these aren't

214
00:08:21,188 --> 00:08:23,108
Speaker 3: my like who's the best quarterbacks in the league, although

215
00:08:23,108 --> 00:08:25,588
Speaker 3: that's pretty close, not too far off, but it slows

216
00:08:25,588 --> 00:08:26,348
Speaker 3: the pace down when.

217
00:08:26,268 --> 00:08:29,028
Speaker 4: You run a lot. You got any more presentations for us? Listen?

218
00:08:29,068 --> 00:08:31,788
Speaker 3: There will be further presentrations later. We'll circle back, run

219
00:08:31,828 --> 00:08:34,268
Speaker 3: it up the flagpole, and then I'll check with my gothic.

220
00:08:39,508 --> 00:08:51,868
Speaker 2: Good mon football, good football.

221
00:08:52,188 --> 00:08:54,308
Speaker 6: We are starting in Washington because we got some news

222
00:08:54,308 --> 00:08:58,068
Speaker 6: out of Washington Commander's wide receiver Terry McLaurin looking for

223
00:08:58,188 --> 00:09:01,868
Speaker 6: a contract extension. We knew this was coming, but it's official.

224
00:09:01,908 --> 00:09:03,828
Speaker 6: He is now a no show at camp, so the

225
00:09:03,868 --> 00:09:07,988
Speaker 6: team of fitly placing him on the reserve did not report.

226
00:09:07,628 --> 00:09:08,468
Speaker 4: List this morning.

227
00:09:08,628 --> 00:09:10,868
Speaker 6: Jim Adam Peter says they're going to do everything they

228
00:09:10,908 --> 00:09:12,548
Speaker 6: can to get a deal done.

229
00:09:14,028 --> 00:09:14,908
Speaker 7: Yeah, without a doubt.

230
00:09:14,948 --> 00:09:17,948
Speaker 10: I think everybody in this building values Terry very much.

231
00:09:18,148 --> 00:09:21,308
Speaker 10: And we knew that coming in, and we knew that

232
00:09:21,348 --> 00:09:24,348
Speaker 10: even more after spending a year with him. In terms

233
00:09:24,428 --> 00:09:27,828
Speaker 10: of where we're at, we've had conversations recently and we'll

234
00:09:27,828 --> 00:09:30,468
Speaker 10: look to have some more conversations, and we're going to

235
00:09:30,548 --> 00:09:32,348
Speaker 10: do everything we can in order to.

236
00:09:32,308 --> 00:09:33,028
Speaker 7: Get a deal done.

237
00:09:34,388 --> 00:09:39,708
Speaker 6: Okay, one word answers here, guys, Terry mclaurin's holdout now

238
00:09:40,148 --> 00:09:40,388
Speaker 6: is what?

239
00:09:40,468 --> 00:09:41,708
Speaker 4: And actually, let me start with this one.

240
00:09:41,748 --> 00:09:45,188
Speaker 6: I'll say it's pricey because it's costing him fifty thousand

241
00:09:45,228 --> 00:09:48,028
Speaker 6: dollars for each day that he misses. So if I

242
00:09:48,108 --> 00:09:50,108
Speaker 6: was smart enough and filled out my whiteboard, I would say,

243
00:09:50,108 --> 00:09:51,748
Speaker 6: currently that holdout is pricey.

244
00:09:51,788 --> 00:09:53,068
Speaker 4: What's your one word, Manti, But the.

245
00:09:53,068 --> 00:09:55,308
Speaker 5: One word I got it's a little worrisome. It's a

246
00:09:55,308 --> 00:09:57,828
Speaker 5: little worse if I'm a commander's fan. It's a little

247
00:09:57,828 --> 00:10:00,908
Speaker 5: worrisome if I'm somebody who even loves football. Reason being

248
00:10:00,908 --> 00:10:03,388
Speaker 5: his term McLaurin and what he's meant to that franchise.

249
00:10:03,988 --> 00:10:06,228
Speaker 5: There's been talk about his age. He's like, oh, we're

250
00:10:06,228 --> 00:10:08,428
Speaker 5: not going to pay this much to as soon to

251
00:10:08,468 --> 00:10:10,988
Speaker 5: be a thirty year old. I'm worried someme about that.

252
00:10:11,308 --> 00:10:14,188
Speaker 5: Why because there was an NFC East team that said

253
00:10:14,188 --> 00:10:17,668
Speaker 5: the same thing about Saquon Barklety that based on analytics,

254
00:10:17,748 --> 00:10:21,348
Speaker 5: the running back position starts to decline around twenty seven. Well,

255
00:10:21,388 --> 00:10:23,668
Speaker 5: guess what, he went to the Eagles and almost broke

256
00:10:23,708 --> 00:10:25,388
Speaker 5: the single season rushing record.

257
00:10:25,788 --> 00:10:27,388
Speaker 7: So I would be worrisome.

258
00:10:28,348 --> 00:10:32,748
Speaker 5: I'll display some caution when trying to analyze this guy

259
00:10:32,868 --> 00:10:34,628
Speaker 5: because he may be going to be.

260
00:10:34,588 --> 00:10:35,788
Speaker 7: Thirty in a few months.

261
00:10:36,108 --> 00:10:39,468
Speaker 5: But what he's meant to that team, the production, and

262
00:10:39,508 --> 00:10:41,668
Speaker 5: not only what he's meant to the team as a whole,

263
00:10:42,108 --> 00:10:44,308
Speaker 5: the comfort in which he was able to give Jaden

264
00:10:44,428 --> 00:10:48,188
Speaker 5: Daniels as the wide receiver one for that team. I mean, guys,

265
00:10:48,228 --> 00:10:51,588
Speaker 5: come on, you watched the Cincinnati Bengals game last year,

266
00:10:52,068 --> 00:10:55,188
Speaker 5: that game winning cover zero. Jaden Daniels just lobs the

267
00:10:55,188 --> 00:10:56,708
Speaker 5: ball to the corner of the end zone and who's

268
00:10:56,708 --> 00:11:01,308
Speaker 5: there scretary, So I would be worrisome. And that's my word.

269
00:11:01,508 --> 00:11:06,468
Speaker 9: Delil your turn, mattchip b one word is scary.

270
00:11:06,988 --> 00:11:09,228
Speaker 7: No plun intended by the way, but it's scary, ladies

271
00:11:09,228 --> 00:11:10,228
Speaker 7: and gentlemen. And here's why.

272
00:11:10,388 --> 00:11:14,228
Speaker 9: Terry McCullen has been one of the biggest cornerstones of

273
00:11:14,268 --> 00:11:16,908
Speaker 9: this franchise. Jade and Daniel success coming in as a

274
00:11:16,988 --> 00:11:20,228
Speaker 9: rookie last year was solely based on Terry McCullin. Obviously,

275
00:11:20,268 --> 00:11:22,388
Speaker 9: he's a beast, he can make plays with his feet,

276
00:11:22,548 --> 00:11:23,668
Speaker 9: he has a tremendous arm.

277
00:11:23,828 --> 00:11:25,908
Speaker 7: But Terry is his security blanket.

278
00:11:25,988 --> 00:11:28,228
Speaker 9: That only is his security blanket as a player. When

279
00:11:28,228 --> 00:11:30,428
Speaker 9: you go into training camp, you go into off season workouts,

280
00:11:30,508 --> 00:11:32,068
Speaker 9: then you go into training camp and for a wide

281
00:11:32,108 --> 00:11:34,708
Speaker 9: receiver and a quarterback to have success for that season,

282
00:11:34,908 --> 00:11:38,068
Speaker 9: it's something called timing. There's something called reps. These guys

283
00:11:38,068 --> 00:11:40,948
Speaker 9: stay after practice. These guys stay after practice and getting

284
00:11:41,028 --> 00:11:43,948
Speaker 9: extra work, and him not being there is allowing them

285
00:11:44,068 --> 00:11:46,308
Speaker 9: to be separated. They're not getting the extra work that

286
00:11:46,308 --> 00:11:48,628
Speaker 9: they need to be on one accord throughout this season.

287
00:11:48,828 --> 00:11:52,108
Speaker 9: I think scary. Terry not being there is extremely scary

288
00:11:52,108 --> 00:11:52,828
Speaker 9: for the commanders.

289
00:11:53,388 --> 00:11:56,668
Speaker 11: Yeah, both of y'all have extremely valid points if you're

290
00:11:56,708 --> 00:12:00,428
Speaker 11: a Commanders or a fan of the Commanders. We saw

291
00:12:00,508 --> 00:12:02,988
Speaker 11: someone going through at the beginning of the show and

292
00:12:03,028 --> 00:12:06,908
Speaker 11: Michael Parson's going through track stuff and he was present.

293
00:12:07,228 --> 00:12:10,708
Speaker 11: That being said, my word is fair. He right now

294
00:12:10,788 --> 00:12:15,268
Speaker 11: currently is seventeenth in receivers in ap Y, which if

295
00:12:15,308 --> 00:12:18,348
Speaker 11: you asked anyone, I don't think he's the seventeenth best receiver.

296
00:12:19,028 --> 00:12:21,868
Speaker 11: That being said, I think he means a tremendous amount

297
00:12:21,908 --> 00:12:24,868
Speaker 11: to the players in that locker room and to his team,

298
00:12:24,948 --> 00:12:28,028
Speaker 11: you know, to the coaching, the coaches in that organization.

299
00:12:28,588 --> 00:12:31,988
Speaker 11: Being there would be great. Like Sarah said, he's living

300
00:12:32,148 --> 00:12:35,508
Speaker 11: fifty thousand dollars a year, which is a lot or

301
00:12:36,508 --> 00:12:39,828
Speaker 11: has a lot of money. And uh, it's a business.

302
00:12:39,828 --> 00:12:42,428
Speaker 11: We talked about that earlier. You you get paid what

303
00:12:42,508 --> 00:12:46,228
Speaker 11: you're owed. And if this is what you deemed the

304
00:12:46,268 --> 00:12:49,988
Speaker 11: correct move to get what you think you deserve, then

305
00:12:50,508 --> 00:12:51,428
Speaker 11: you know, kudos to him.

306
00:12:51,468 --> 00:12:54,308
Speaker 5: Man, Well, I want to add something to just a

307
00:12:54,428 --> 00:12:56,708
Speaker 5: dynamic of and we know this at this table, the

308
00:12:56,828 --> 00:12:59,788
Speaker 5: dynamic of certain players when it comes to the culture

309
00:12:59,828 --> 00:13:01,788
Speaker 5: of a team. I remember when I was in New

310
00:13:01,868 --> 00:13:05,468
Speaker 5: Orleans we had mark Ingram there. Now Marking also had

311
00:13:05,508 --> 00:13:07,948
Speaker 5: Alvin Kamara. Now, Alvin Kamara was a flash. He was

312
00:13:07,988 --> 00:13:10,868
Speaker 5: a guy that there's a lot of forty one jerseys

313
00:13:11,188 --> 00:13:14,628
Speaker 5: in the stands when we played games, but mark Ingram

314
00:13:14,748 --> 00:13:17,348
Speaker 5: was a glue. When we lost mark Ingram to the

315
00:13:17,348 --> 00:13:20,708
Speaker 5: Baltimore Ravens, that's when I felt we started to split

316
00:13:20,788 --> 00:13:24,588
Speaker 5: a little bit. Now mark as compared to Alvin Kamara

317
00:13:24,668 --> 00:13:27,548
Speaker 5: and his numbers like it just there were two different players.

318
00:13:28,028 --> 00:13:30,948
Speaker 5: The production was different. But what he meant to the

319
00:13:30,988 --> 00:13:33,148
Speaker 5: locker room, the cast roles that he would bring in

320
00:13:33,308 --> 00:13:38,708
Speaker 5: on Saturday before walk through, the energy, the excitement that

321
00:13:38,788 --> 00:13:42,268
Speaker 5: he brought inside the locker room, that is what somebody

322
00:13:42,308 --> 00:13:44,388
Speaker 5: like Terry McLaurin. I've never been in that locker room,

323
00:13:44,428 --> 00:13:47,308
Speaker 5: but just watching him throughout his career on and off

324
00:13:47,308 --> 00:13:49,748
Speaker 5: the football field, that's the type of figure that I

325
00:13:49,828 --> 00:13:52,628
Speaker 5: see in Terry McLaurin that yes he has ranked this

326
00:13:52,748 --> 00:13:57,628
Speaker 5: and ranked that, but his impact on that team, I

327
00:13:57,628 --> 00:13:59,748
Speaker 5: don't think we could stress that enough. And when I

328
00:13:59,788 --> 00:14:01,868
Speaker 5: think of think of this situation, I think a lot

329
00:14:01,868 --> 00:14:03,868
Speaker 5: about mark Ingram and what he meant to us in

330
00:14:03,908 --> 00:14:07,748
Speaker 5: New Orleans and his what his departure meant more importantly.

331
00:14:07,388 --> 00:14:08,708
Speaker 4: Can you go back to the cast roles.

332
00:14:09,668 --> 00:14:11,908
Speaker 5: So there's some bacon and their eggs. His wife would

333
00:14:11,988 --> 00:14:14,708
Speaker 5: make it potatos. He would always bring two. There's a

334
00:14:14,708 --> 00:14:16,988
Speaker 5: savior one and a sweet one. The sweet one was

335
00:14:16,988 --> 00:14:20,228
Speaker 5: like more centimony, like ooh, shout out to.

336
00:14:20,348 --> 00:14:21,668
Speaker 7: Do that's my dog.

337
00:14:23,388 --> 00:14:25,428
Speaker 6: Second topic here, and this is one that Mitch you

338
00:14:25,588 --> 00:14:28,868
Speaker 6: touched on in the last hour about Minnesota the pressure

339
00:14:28,908 --> 00:14:31,428
Speaker 6: being on there for the Vikings. Kevin O'Connell excited about

340
00:14:31,468 --> 00:14:34,628
Speaker 6: the leadership JJ McCarthy has shown coming into his first

341
00:14:34,628 --> 00:14:36,428
Speaker 6: season as the starting quarterback.

342
00:14:37,748 --> 00:14:41,148
Speaker 8: It's just a presence, you know, leadership. You know, I

343
00:14:41,268 --> 00:14:45,748
Speaker 8: challenge our team every year. Leadership comes from from all

344
00:14:45,788 --> 00:14:49,548
Speaker 8: aspects of our team are building our organization to positively

345
00:14:49,588 --> 00:14:52,708
Speaker 8: impact each other. And JJ has proven from day one

346
00:14:53,868 --> 00:14:55,228
Speaker 8: after selecting him.

347
00:14:55,068 --> 00:14:55,908
Speaker 7: That he has that.

348
00:14:56,108 --> 00:14:58,748
Speaker 8: We knew that before we were lucky enough, fortunate enough

349
00:14:58,788 --> 00:15:01,588
Speaker 8: to select him that he had that kind of makeup,

350
00:15:01,628 --> 00:15:05,588
Speaker 8: and I think the teammates here have responded to. But

351
00:15:05,668 --> 00:15:08,068
Speaker 8: I think the one thing about it is, you know,

352
00:15:08,108 --> 00:15:11,908
Speaker 8: we feel like we've built a team with leadership on

353
00:15:11,988 --> 00:15:14,828
Speaker 8: both sides of the ball, with experience on both sides

354
00:15:14,868 --> 00:15:18,428
Speaker 8: of the ball, all designed to help him be comfortable

355
00:15:18,468 --> 00:15:21,908
Speaker 8: in his role, but also challenging him to attack what

356
00:15:21,948 --> 00:15:27,148
Speaker 8: that's going to look like from a production, leadership, performance standpoint,

357
00:15:27,188 --> 00:15:30,668
Speaker 8: and just what that daily feel is is what I'm

358
00:15:30,708 --> 00:15:34,428
Speaker 8: probably most excited about this phase for JJ and really

359
00:15:34,468 --> 00:15:37,508
Speaker 8: our team as a whole as we start building kind

360
00:15:37,508 --> 00:15:41,308
Speaker 8: of the twenty twenty five version of this team. But yeah,

361
00:15:40,988 --> 00:15:44,628
Speaker 8: I think all of his teammates have kind of recognized,

362
00:15:44,868 --> 00:15:46,268
Speaker 8: you know, he's in the building a lot.

363
00:15:46,388 --> 00:15:47,028
Speaker 7: He has been.

364
00:15:47,188 --> 00:15:51,348
Speaker 8: He's absolutely had a phenomenal offseason from the time before

365
00:15:51,388 --> 00:15:55,428
Speaker 8: the offseason program started, through the nine weeks that we

366
00:15:55,428 --> 00:15:57,508
Speaker 8: were allowed to be on the grass and then you know,

367
00:15:57,588 --> 00:16:00,468
Speaker 8: I think it's been awesome this summer seeing these guys

368
00:16:00,468 --> 00:16:03,948
Speaker 8: getting together working, whether it was you know and I

369
00:16:03,948 --> 00:16:06,628
Speaker 8: Thinkshville at one point, and then here locally with the

370
00:16:06,668 --> 00:16:11,268
Speaker 8: full group, you know, just really you feel the energy

371
00:16:11,268 --> 00:16:13,708
Speaker 8: and the enthusiasm not only that JJ is brought to

372
00:16:13,748 --> 00:16:17,428
Speaker 8: the group, but that they're reciprocating right back to him.

373
00:16:17,508 --> 00:16:18,228
Speaker 4: So here we go.

374
00:16:18,588 --> 00:16:22,948
Speaker 6: JJ McCarthy's first season as a Vikings starting quarterback will

375
00:16:22,948 --> 00:16:25,028
Speaker 6: be what man Tai simple.

376
00:16:25,228 --> 00:16:27,828
Speaker 5: It's tailored, okay, and it starts with that man that

377
00:16:27,908 --> 00:16:30,108
Speaker 5: you just saw Kevin O'Connell. If you think about the

378
00:16:30,188 --> 00:16:32,748
Speaker 5: Vikings last year, you had a top ten passing offense

379
00:16:33,028 --> 00:16:36,148
Speaker 5: and a top ten scoring offense. Like you, you couldn't

380
00:16:36,148 --> 00:16:39,028
Speaker 5: be in a better situation. If you're JJ McCarthy, you

381
00:16:39,068 --> 00:16:40,868
Speaker 5: couldn't be in a better situation. And go and play

382
00:16:40,868 --> 00:16:42,348
Speaker 5: for a guy like Kevin O'Connell, who is one of

383
00:16:42,388 --> 00:16:45,348
Speaker 5: the best offensive mines in the NFL.

384
00:16:45,628 --> 00:16:46,268
Speaker 7: He's one of the.

385
00:16:46,228 --> 00:16:49,308
Speaker 5: Best leaders, one of the best quarterback groomers. I don't

386
00:16:49,308 --> 00:16:51,388
Speaker 5: even know if that's a term. Quarterback groomer is sure

387
00:16:51,828 --> 00:16:53,988
Speaker 5: it is a term now, but he is just one

388
00:16:54,028 --> 00:16:56,988
Speaker 5: of those those coaches that as a quarterback you I mean,

389
00:16:56,988 --> 00:17:00,428
Speaker 5: we heard about Caleb Williams in that little book how

390
00:17:00,668 --> 00:17:02,868
Speaker 5: after he met with Vikings that he wanted to go

391
00:17:02,908 --> 00:17:05,268
Speaker 5: to Minnesota. That just goes to show how great of

392
00:17:05,308 --> 00:17:07,588
Speaker 5: a coach Kevin O'Connell is, And not to mention that

393
00:17:07,868 --> 00:17:11,308
Speaker 5: he has a bunch of weapons guys Justin Jefferson, Aaron Jones,

394
00:17:11,348 --> 00:17:13,828
Speaker 5: T J. Hawkinson, Jordan Addison like these.

395
00:17:14,068 --> 00:17:14,988
Speaker 7: He is Taylor.

396
00:17:15,068 --> 00:17:17,148
Speaker 5: This thing is tailored for him, and so it's gonna

397
00:17:17,148 --> 00:17:19,028
Speaker 5: be exciting to watch you Lille going into twenty twenty

398
00:17:19,068 --> 00:17:19,588
Speaker 5: five match.

399
00:17:19,628 --> 00:17:23,068
Speaker 9: I agree with you, coach. Coach Kevin O'Connell is chewby whisper.

400
00:17:23,428 --> 00:17:26,508
Speaker 9: He's known of developing quarterbacks over and overseason after season.

401
00:17:26,828 --> 00:17:29,988
Speaker 7: But JJ McCarthy's first season is unknown.

402
00:17:30,388 --> 00:17:32,468
Speaker 9: We just don't know. Right so when he comes in,

403
00:17:32,508 --> 00:17:34,868
Speaker 9: he got an injury last year and so right now

404
00:17:34,908 --> 00:17:37,668
Speaker 9: this is technically his rookie season. And we just Mitch

405
00:17:37,788 --> 00:17:40,508
Speaker 9: alluded to it earlier that rookie seasons really just humble you.

406
00:17:40,748 --> 00:17:42,468
Speaker 9: And then when I look at the depth chart, they

407
00:17:42,468 --> 00:17:45,468
Speaker 9: don't really have a backup quarterback who can truly mention him,

408
00:17:45,548 --> 00:17:47,108
Speaker 9: who has been through the league and been through the

409
00:17:47,108 --> 00:17:49,428
Speaker 9: bumps and the bruises. Sam Howell is the second string

410
00:17:49,788 --> 00:17:52,868
Speaker 9: check and string quarterback. Brett Rippon is the third string quarterback.

411
00:17:53,068 --> 00:17:54,948
Speaker 9: So it's going to be a season that we really

412
00:17:54,948 --> 00:17:57,268
Speaker 9: don't know. When you watch him from Michigan playing for

413
00:17:57,348 --> 00:18:00,068
Speaker 9: Jim Harball, it was fifty to fifty run passed. They

414
00:18:00,148 --> 00:18:02,668
Speaker 9: lean on the run extraordinary. They lean on the run

415
00:18:02,988 --> 00:18:04,308
Speaker 9: very very very alive.

416
00:18:04,388 --> 00:18:05,908
Speaker 7: Excuse me, lean on the run a lot. And then

417
00:18:05,908 --> 00:18:06,668
Speaker 7: when then you.

418
00:18:06,588 --> 00:18:08,428
Speaker 9: Watch him now, is he going to be able to

419
00:18:08,508 --> 00:18:10,108
Speaker 9: lean on the run here or they're going to rely

420
00:18:10,188 --> 00:18:11,988
Speaker 9: on him passing the ball down the field. I do

421
00:18:12,668 --> 00:18:13,908
Speaker 9: agree with you when you say that they have the

422
00:18:13,988 --> 00:18:16,108
Speaker 9: weapons for him to be successful, but early on is

423
00:18:16,108 --> 00:18:17,548
Speaker 9: going to be very unknown, and I think they keep

424
00:18:17,588 --> 00:18:19,908
Speaker 9: it simple with boots, check downs and quick game to

425
00:18:19,908 --> 00:18:22,028
Speaker 9: get him in the rhythm, to get him keep allowing to.

426
00:18:21,988 --> 00:18:23,708
Speaker 7: Grow and grow as the season goes on.

427
00:18:24,388 --> 00:18:27,508
Speaker 11: The unknown that Julil was talking about is going to

428
00:18:27,588 --> 00:18:30,468
Speaker 11: make this year for them intriguing. We I alluded to

429
00:18:30,508 --> 00:18:32,628
Speaker 11: it earlier. He's going to be slaved to be the

430
00:18:32,668 --> 00:18:34,948
Speaker 11: youngest starting quarterback in the NFL at twenty two years

431
00:18:34,948 --> 00:18:38,028
Speaker 11: and four months of age. But that's not as intriguing

432
00:18:38,068 --> 00:18:40,868
Speaker 11: to me as what a red shirt year, which would

433
00:18:40,868 --> 00:18:43,428
Speaker 11: pretty much last year with him getting hurt in that season.

434
00:18:43,508 --> 00:18:46,588
Speaker 11: The preseason opener was you have Kevin O'Connell, which you

435
00:18:46,628 --> 00:18:49,348
Speaker 11: both alluded to as a remarkable person to have in

436
00:18:49,388 --> 00:18:51,748
Speaker 11: a quarterbacks corner, and I think it's just going to

437
00:18:51,788 --> 00:18:54,868
Speaker 11: be must watch TV every week that the Vikings are on.

438
00:18:55,628 --> 00:18:57,668
Speaker 5: Mitchill got a question, Mitch, because you were with the

439
00:18:57,748 --> 00:19:01,388
Speaker 5: Kansas City Chiefs when they drafted Patrick Mahomes, what would

440
00:19:01,468 --> 00:19:05,068
Speaker 5: be your advice to somebody like JJ my Karthy, who's

441
00:19:05,108 --> 00:19:07,588
Speaker 5: coming into this kind of situation where he has weapons

442
00:19:07,628 --> 00:19:09,988
Speaker 5: around him and maybe need a little bit of mentorship

443
00:19:09,988 --> 00:19:13,308
Speaker 5: and guidance. What would be your advice to somebody like him?

444
00:19:13,708 --> 00:19:15,988
Speaker 11: Man, that's a really good question. I think the one

445
00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:18,628
Speaker 11: thing that Pat had that JJ might not have had

446
00:19:19,228 --> 00:19:21,988
Speaker 11: was Alex Smith in his corner, who is the ultimate professional,

447
00:19:22,068 --> 00:19:25,268
Speaker 11: the consummate professional, the one who every minute of his

448
00:19:25,348 --> 00:19:28,068
Speaker 11: day was organized to be the best football player, the

449
00:19:28,068 --> 00:19:30,708
Speaker 11: best version of himself on the field, and Pat just

450
00:19:31,228 --> 00:19:34,268
Speaker 11: basically emulated that. The one thing I think that JJ

451
00:19:34,428 --> 00:19:37,548
Speaker 11: has to do is just lean on people, lean on

452
00:19:37,588 --> 00:19:41,308
Speaker 11: his coaches, and not be afraid in practices or these

453
00:19:41,348 --> 00:19:45,428
Speaker 11: preseason games to push the envelope see what works for

454
00:19:45,508 --> 00:19:47,668
Speaker 11: you so that when the regular season games come about,

455
00:19:48,668 --> 00:19:51,868
Speaker 11: you're rocking and rolling. My least favorite thing to see

456
00:19:52,428 --> 00:19:55,868
Speaker 11: on the internet is guys talking about how terrible was

457
00:19:55,908 --> 00:19:58,348
Speaker 11: that this quarterback through an interception during a practice, or

458
00:19:58,788 --> 00:20:02,228
Speaker 11: had this fumble or whatever. It's practice. That's what it's for.

459
00:20:02,468 --> 00:20:06,268
Speaker 11: So worry about becoming a better football player, pushing yourself,

460
00:20:06,268 --> 00:20:09,268
Speaker 11: pushing the boundaries, understanding what you can do, and then

461
00:20:09,308 --> 00:20:10,988
Speaker 11: that way you've already had a year under your belt,

462
00:20:11,028 --> 00:20:12,828
Speaker 11: to see the ins and outs of what your training

463
00:20:13,068 --> 00:20:14,788
Speaker 11: weeks going to look like, what a game plan is

464
00:20:14,828 --> 00:20:17,188
Speaker 11: going to look like under Kevin O'Connell. Go from there

465
00:20:17,188 --> 00:20:17,828
Speaker 11: and just let it fly.

466
00:20:17,988 --> 00:20:21,708
Speaker 6: Hey, Mitchie, mean you don't scour the training can't practice

467
00:20:21,788 --> 00:20:24,788
Speaker 6: box score in the paper daily to see what quarterback

468
00:20:24,788 --> 00:20:27,708
Speaker 6: through what interceptions because I know where there's quarterback battles

469
00:20:27,748 --> 00:20:31,308
Speaker 6: on the reporting. I know, and it's a report on

470
00:20:31,388 --> 00:20:32,708
Speaker 6: this guy through three picks today.

471
00:20:32,788 --> 00:20:32,988
Speaker 3: I know.

472
00:20:33,148 --> 00:20:33,348
Speaker 1: I know.

473
00:20:33,428 --> 00:20:34,948
Speaker 4: Well it's coming. Get ready.

474
00:20:34,948 --> 00:20:37,028
Speaker 6: Buckle up, Mitch, because we're in that time of year.

475
00:20:36,948 --> 00:20:39,428
Speaker 7: Right now, especially against that.

476
00:20:40,308 --> 00:20:44,548
Speaker 6: After twelve seasons in the NFL, safety Tyron Matthew announced

477
00:20:44,548 --> 00:20:47,748
Speaker 6: his retirement. He said in a statement, from my first

478
00:20:47,788 --> 00:20:50,948
Speaker 6: snap in college to my last snap in the NFL,

479
00:20:51,148 --> 00:20:54,148
Speaker 6: this journey has been nothing short of a blessing. Football

480
00:20:54,188 --> 00:20:58,028
Speaker 6: gave me purpose, discipline, and memories that will stay with

481
00:20:58,108 --> 00:20:58,708
Speaker 6: me forever.

482
00:20:58,788 --> 00:21:01,068
Speaker 4: Guys, this guy is so special.

483
00:21:01,228 --> 00:21:04,788
Speaker 6: The word that best describes Tyron Matthew, who, by the way,

484
00:21:04,828 --> 00:21:07,588
Speaker 6: we'll go down with one of the greatest nicknames ever

485
00:21:07,708 --> 00:21:11,668
Speaker 6: to bless the football field, the honey Badger, put his

486
00:21:11,708 --> 00:21:14,468
Speaker 6: career into one word that's really actually an unfair task,

487
00:21:14,508 --> 00:21:15,748
Speaker 6: but man, Ty, go ahead and try.

488
00:21:15,828 --> 00:21:17,348
Speaker 5: You know, that was just a hard thing. I think

489
00:21:17,388 --> 00:21:19,428
Speaker 5: all out of all these questions, this was the one

490
00:21:19,468 --> 00:21:21,388
Speaker 5: I struggled with the most because there's so many words

491
00:21:21,388 --> 00:21:23,908
Speaker 5: that you could come up with to describe Tyron Matthew's career,

492
00:21:24,428 --> 00:21:26,868
Speaker 5: but the best I could do is tenacious. Now I

493
00:21:26,908 --> 00:21:29,508
Speaker 5: say tenacious because in the way, not only way he played,

494
00:21:29,588 --> 00:21:32,748
Speaker 5: which when I watched him in college at LSU, throughout

495
00:21:32,748 --> 00:21:35,948
Speaker 5: his NFL career, his ability and his tenacity to get

496
00:21:35,988 --> 00:21:37,948
Speaker 5: to the football, to get his hands on the football

497
00:21:37,988 --> 00:21:41,628
Speaker 5: and whatever way possible, whether it was returning punts, whether

498
00:21:41,668 --> 00:21:45,468
Speaker 5: it was playing safety, nickelback, cornerback, wherever you wanted to

499
00:21:45,468 --> 00:21:48,628
Speaker 5: put him, you always saw the honey Badger making plays

500
00:21:48,668 --> 00:21:50,988
Speaker 5: like this, and not only making plays on the ball,

501
00:21:51,068 --> 00:21:53,748
Speaker 5: but having the ability to take it to the crib.

502
00:21:54,108 --> 00:21:57,268
Speaker 5: That comes with tenacity. But also, more importantly, something that

503
00:21:57,348 --> 00:22:01,988
Speaker 5: I always admired about Tyrant was his tenacity when when

504
00:22:01,988 --> 00:22:04,748
Speaker 5: it came to dealing with a different adversity is that

505
00:22:04,788 --> 00:22:07,148
Speaker 5: came into his life. We all know the stories that

506
00:22:07,188 --> 00:22:09,188
Speaker 5: were happening or the story that was going on while

507
00:22:09,188 --> 00:22:11,948
Speaker 5: he was in college, and that during the draft process

508
00:22:11,988 --> 00:22:15,388
Speaker 5: and him overcoming that that takes a lot coming from

509
00:22:15,428 --> 00:22:18,068
Speaker 5: somebody who mentally I was just in a different place

510
00:22:18,388 --> 00:22:22,028
Speaker 5: after adversity struck me to watch somebody like Tyron Matthew

511
00:22:22,108 --> 00:22:24,708
Speaker 5: be able to navigate those waters and navigate it like

512
00:22:24,748 --> 00:22:25,988
Speaker 5: a skilled sailor.

513
00:22:26,948 --> 00:22:28,068
Speaker 7: I really looked up to him.

514
00:22:28,108 --> 00:22:30,988
Speaker 5: So out of all the words in the English language,

515
00:22:30,988 --> 00:22:34,108
Speaker 5: the best word I could come up with was tenacious.

516
00:22:34,308 --> 00:22:36,108
Speaker 7: Yeah, man Tark, that's a great job by you.

517
00:22:36,148 --> 00:22:38,868
Speaker 9: But twelve years in the league by Tyren Matthew, the

518
00:22:38,948 --> 00:22:39,708
Speaker 9: one word I.

519
00:22:39,668 --> 00:22:41,588
Speaker 7: Can say is legendary.

520
00:22:42,108 --> 00:22:44,988
Speaker 9: So we came out in the same class in twenty thirteen,

521
00:22:45,428 --> 00:22:47,468
Speaker 9: and when I was at Central Mischian University, and Tyron

522
00:22:47,548 --> 00:22:51,148
Speaker 9: Matthew was the statue of what you wanted to be

523
00:22:51,228 --> 00:22:51,708
Speaker 9: as a dB.

524
00:22:52,028 --> 00:22:53,708
Speaker 7: You mentioned in Mantike could play.

525
00:22:53,508 --> 00:22:56,108
Speaker 9: Safety, he could play nickel, he could play corner.

526
00:22:56,308 --> 00:22:58,068
Speaker 7: He's returning punts, he's returning kicks.

527
00:22:58,108 --> 00:23:00,028
Speaker 9: And if he never played it down in the NFL,

528
00:23:00,308 --> 00:23:02,908
Speaker 9: his career at LSU by itself was legendary.

529
00:23:03,068 --> 00:23:05,228
Speaker 7: But what he came into the league did now only

530
00:23:05,308 --> 00:23:07,468
Speaker 7: did he do it in the.

531
00:23:07,148 --> 00:23:09,468
Speaker 9: SEC in college, he did it in the NFL for

532
00:23:09,508 --> 00:23:13,628
Speaker 9: twelve years and it goes to save for yourself to

533
00:23:13,668 --> 00:23:15,948
Speaker 9: be able to walk away from the game after twelve

534
00:23:16,028 --> 00:23:17,868
Speaker 9: years of playing. A lot of guys won't get to

535
00:23:17,908 --> 00:23:19,788
Speaker 9: walk away from the game. He he still had a

536
00:23:19,788 --> 00:23:21,668
Speaker 9: lot left in the tank. He still was making a

537
00:23:21,668 --> 00:23:23,428
Speaker 9: lot of money. But he said, you know what, I'm

538
00:23:23,468 --> 00:23:25,708
Speaker 9: going to walk with away from the game at twelve

539
00:23:25,788 --> 00:23:29,788
Speaker 9: years professional in the NFL All Pro Pro bowler. Listen,

540
00:23:29,868 --> 00:23:31,748
Speaker 9: he has a lot of ed redish about him. When

541
00:23:31,748 --> 00:23:33,308
Speaker 9: he gets the ball, he's taking it back to the

542
00:23:33,348 --> 00:23:35,628
Speaker 9: crib for six. Much respect to Tyren and I remember

543
00:23:35,668 --> 00:23:38,228
Speaker 9: growing up watching him in college. Wanted to immulate my

544
00:23:38,308 --> 00:23:41,748
Speaker 9: game after him, play like him, be like him. Much respect, dude,

545
00:23:41,748 --> 00:23:42,828
Speaker 9: salute you on your career.

546
00:23:43,348 --> 00:23:45,748
Speaker 11: Kind of the man tize point. This was a very

547
00:23:45,788 --> 00:23:49,868
Speaker 11: difficult question for me to mowl over. The one word

548
00:23:49,868 --> 00:23:52,228
Speaker 11: that came to mind over and over again was electric.

549
00:23:52,708 --> 00:23:56,388
Speaker 11: His career was electric, both on the field and off

550
00:23:56,428 --> 00:23:58,948
Speaker 11: the field. When I think of Manti Tail, of course,

551
00:23:58,988 --> 00:24:01,348
Speaker 11: I think of an All American, three time All Pro,

552
00:24:01,428 --> 00:24:04,548
Speaker 11: and Super Bowl champion, But I think of a guy

553
00:24:04,588 --> 00:24:09,508
Speaker 11: who really loved the game and brought people with him

554
00:24:10,268 --> 00:24:12,988
Speaker 11: who were on his team. He was a vocal leader

555
00:24:13,068 --> 00:24:15,508
Speaker 11: and that's tough sometimes to be a vocal leader because

556
00:24:15,828 --> 00:24:17,268
Speaker 11: that puts a lot of onus on you where you

557
00:24:17,308 --> 00:24:20,348
Speaker 11: think you can't make mistakes, and that never bothered him.

558
00:24:20,388 --> 00:24:20,588
Speaker 2: Man.

559
00:24:20,708 --> 00:24:22,988
Speaker 11: So as a guy who just recently retired, when you know,

560
00:24:23,108 --> 00:24:26,588
Speaker 11: you know, you were a celebration of the game when

561
00:24:26,588 --> 00:24:29,548
Speaker 11: you played, my friend, congratulations and now you get to

562
00:24:29,588 --> 00:24:30,748
Speaker 11: rest and do whatever you want.

563
00:24:30,828 --> 00:24:31,308
Speaker 7: You've earned it.

564
00:24:32,308 --> 00:24:35,508
Speaker 6: Hey, Mitch, let me say congratulations too as well, because

565
00:24:35,668 --> 00:24:38,428
Speaker 6: you just retired after a decade in the league. I

566
00:24:38,428 --> 00:24:40,268
Speaker 6: mean a decade.

567
00:24:39,748 --> 00:24:42,148
Speaker 4: I mean people dream of that.

568
00:24:43,708 --> 00:24:46,068
Speaker 7: You guys, thank you very much. I appreciate him.

569
00:24:51,828 --> 00:25:03,828
Speaker 2: Good football, Good football.

570
00:25:04,588 --> 00:25:07,468
Speaker 6: The Giants are getting practiced underway with a new quarterback

571
00:25:07,628 --> 00:25:10,508
Speaker 6: under center, Russell Wilson taking the field yesterday with his

572
00:25:10,668 --> 00:25:14,308
Speaker 6: new team including second year wide receiver Molik Neighbors.

573
00:25:14,388 --> 00:25:15,268
Speaker 4: The energy was.

574
00:25:15,308 --> 00:25:17,588
Speaker 6: Hyper fans, it was hyper players, and it was higher

575
00:25:17,948 --> 00:25:20,508
Speaker 6: rookie running back vote Kim Scataboo.

576
00:25:31,428 --> 00:25:33,268
Speaker 4: That's how Kyle walks in here every morning.

577
00:25:33,588 --> 00:25:35,628
Speaker 6: The New York Giants are going to be the ones

578
00:25:35,748 --> 00:25:38,108
Speaker 6: to get things started for us in a game of

579
00:25:38,428 --> 00:25:39,268
Speaker 6: Big Dealer.

580
00:25:39,348 --> 00:25:40,108
Speaker 4: No big deal.

581
00:25:40,308 --> 00:25:42,028
Speaker 6: So we're going to set up a story. The guys

582
00:25:42,028 --> 00:25:43,028
Speaker 6: are going to tell me if you think it's a

583
00:25:43,068 --> 00:25:45,948
Speaker 6: big deal or not. First up, Brian Davil spoke with

584
00:25:46,028 --> 00:25:48,348
Speaker 6: the media and announced their QB one.

585
00:25:49,268 --> 00:25:50,948
Speaker 12: Like I said, these guys will be out here competing,

586
00:25:50,988 --> 00:25:51,828
Speaker 12: but Russells are starting.

587
00:25:51,948 --> 00:25:53,188
Speaker 11: Russell's had a really good spring.

588
00:25:53,748 --> 00:25:55,068
Speaker 7: The other quarterbacks have as well.

589
00:25:55,468 --> 00:25:56,188
Speaker 4: I like that room.

590
00:25:56,428 --> 00:25:58,148
Speaker 7: I like the direction of the room is headed.

591
00:25:58,828 --> 00:26:01,068
Speaker 13: But for all young players, you know, I know you

592
00:26:01,148 --> 00:26:03,468
Speaker 13: asked about Jackson, but really every young player, our goal

593
00:26:03,588 --> 00:26:06,348
Speaker 13: is to develop those and when they're called upon.

594
00:26:06,308 --> 00:26:06,748
Speaker 11: Be ready to go.

595
00:26:06,828 --> 00:26:08,548
Speaker 13: I'm always just focused on being the best version of

596
00:26:08,588 --> 00:26:10,868
Speaker 13: me every day, you know. For me, you know, my

597
00:26:10,988 --> 00:26:12,988
Speaker 13: mentality is always to be the best in the world.

598
00:26:13,068 --> 00:26:15,548
Speaker 13: You know, I don't know anything else other than that.

599
00:26:15,748 --> 00:26:17,988
Speaker 13: Just trying to having that mentality and help helping our

600
00:26:17,988 --> 00:26:18,788
Speaker 13: football team win.

601
00:26:19,188 --> 00:26:19,348
Speaker 7: You know.

602
00:26:19,388 --> 00:26:21,548
Speaker 13: I think that's the big thing that I'm really highly

603
00:26:21,628 --> 00:26:26,028
Speaker 13: focused on, is elevating our practice, elevating our play, elevating

604
00:26:26,028 --> 00:26:28,708
Speaker 13: our mentality and having a championship mentality daily.

605
00:26:30,588 --> 00:26:32,988
Speaker 6: Guys, is it a big deal that Russell Wilson was

606
00:26:33,148 --> 00:26:35,028
Speaker 6: named the Giant starter already?

607
00:26:35,108 --> 00:26:35,948
Speaker 4: Willy kick this off.

608
00:26:36,388 --> 00:26:39,028
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's a big deal because it shows Giants fans

609
00:26:39,068 --> 00:26:41,388
Speaker 12: that they're not taking a scramble right, that they're going

610
00:26:41,428 --> 00:26:43,148
Speaker 12: in the right direction, and that they're going to allow

611
00:26:43,188 --> 00:26:45,388
Speaker 12: the young guy Jackson Dark to kind of sit and

612
00:26:45,428 --> 00:26:46,668
Speaker 12: watch field leadership.

613
00:26:46,668 --> 00:26:47,988
Speaker 7: You gotta understand the Giants.

614
00:26:47,748 --> 00:26:50,508
Speaker 12: For three and fourteen last year, and they lacked leadership,

615
00:26:50,548 --> 00:26:53,388
Speaker 12: They lack the quarterback, They lacked the competent quarterback. And

616
00:26:53,508 --> 00:26:55,668
Speaker 12: so what this does for a defense, it says, hey, man,

617
00:26:55,708 --> 00:26:57,508
Speaker 12: if we happen to give up a touchdown, we have

618
00:26:57,628 --> 00:26:58,828
Speaker 12: a guy that can keep us in the game of

619
00:26:58,908 --> 00:27:01,308
Speaker 12: put one on the board. Another aspect to it is

620
00:27:01,348 --> 00:27:03,308
Speaker 12: that we have a quarterback that can neutralize the.

621
00:27:03,308 --> 00:27:06,428
Speaker 7: Field and big game who is a willing leader, right.

622
00:27:06,508 --> 00:27:08,348
Speaker 7: And so I love this direction.

623
00:27:08,548 --> 00:27:12,388
Speaker 12: I love getting rid of this distraction going into training camp,

624
00:27:12,748 --> 00:27:14,908
Speaker 12: and it allows this team to finally move forward with

625
00:27:14,988 --> 00:27:17,588
Speaker 12: a guy who they know has approven resume. Your tape

626
00:27:17,668 --> 00:27:19,628
Speaker 12: is your best resume as a football and if you

627
00:27:19,708 --> 00:27:22,228
Speaker 12: watch Russell Wilson last year, you know you can still

628
00:27:22,308 --> 00:27:24,348
Speaker 12: throw the football, you know you can still lead a team,

629
00:27:24,548 --> 00:27:27,388
Speaker 12: and you know you can still play at a competent level.

630
00:27:27,428 --> 00:27:29,508
Speaker 12: So I'm happy for the Giants that they got a guy.

631
00:27:29,708 --> 00:27:31,548
Speaker 12: Now they gotta go win some football games with a

632
00:27:31,868 --> 00:27:32,548
Speaker 12: good defense.

633
00:27:33,268 --> 00:27:35,708
Speaker 11: To Willie's point, I think it's a testament to Brian

634
00:27:35,788 --> 00:27:38,028
Speaker 11: day Ball for getting this question out of the way.

635
00:27:38,428 --> 00:27:42,428
Speaker 11: You have Russell Wilson, proven veteran in this league, a

636
00:27:42,508 --> 00:27:47,108
Speaker 11: good ball player, quirky sure, a little strange, absolutely, but

637
00:27:47,228 --> 00:27:49,788
Speaker 11: a guy who I think is great at mentoring. Right,

638
00:27:49,908 --> 00:27:52,908
Speaker 11: you have Jackson Dart. Please do not put Jackson Dart

639
00:27:52,948 --> 00:27:55,508
Speaker 11: on the field before he needs to be to answer

640
00:27:55,548 --> 00:27:57,548
Speaker 11: the question. I think it's a big deal because it's

641
00:27:57,628 --> 00:28:00,628
Speaker 11: the right move. Give Jackson Dart as much time as

642
00:28:00,668 --> 00:28:04,068
Speaker 11: possible behind a proven veteran like Russell Wilson.

643
00:28:04,708 --> 00:28:06,908
Speaker 5: Yeah, guys, you guys were in here two days ago.

644
00:28:06,988 --> 00:28:09,028
Speaker 5: But two days ago we had Norman Chad And when

645
00:28:09,068 --> 00:28:11,228
Speaker 5: I heard the reason why I'm bringing up Norman Chad

646
00:28:11,388 --> 00:28:14,868
Speaker 5: is he's a poker commentator and we had him as

647
00:28:14,908 --> 00:28:16,708
Speaker 5: a guest. The reason why I'm bringing him up is

648
00:28:16,748 --> 00:28:19,068
Speaker 5: when I heard Brian Daball say that, I was like, man,

649
00:28:19,108 --> 00:28:21,348
Speaker 5: that's a really good poker face. He has a really

650
00:28:21,388 --> 00:28:23,708
Speaker 5: good poker face on him, and it seems like he's

651
00:28:23,748 --> 00:28:26,508
Speaker 5: trying to not play his hand too early. So I'm

652
00:28:26,548 --> 00:28:28,428
Speaker 5: going to take this thing and make create a narrative

653
00:28:28,508 --> 00:28:31,668
Speaker 5: that relates to poker. So you signed Russell Wilson. Now,

654
00:28:31,708 --> 00:28:34,908
Speaker 5: Russell Wilson is a Super Bowl winning quarterback, but he's

655
00:28:34,948 --> 00:28:37,308
Speaker 5: not the same old Russell Wilson. He's a Russell Wilson

656
00:28:37,348 --> 00:28:39,788
Speaker 5: that's a little older. He's not as strong. But Brian

657
00:28:39,868 --> 00:28:43,028
Speaker 5: da Ball knows this. But what I think Brian Daball

658
00:28:43,108 --> 00:28:45,308
Speaker 5: is trying to do with this decision is he's just

659
00:28:45,468 --> 00:28:48,428
Speaker 5: hoping that Russell Wilson can get them to the turn

660
00:28:48,508 --> 00:28:51,308
Speaker 5: of the season. The turn and poker is a fourth card.

661
00:28:51,508 --> 00:28:54,948
Speaker 5: He's just hoping that Russ get me to the fourth

662
00:28:55,028 --> 00:28:57,788
Speaker 5: quarter of this season, then I can play my wild card.

663
00:28:57,868 --> 00:29:00,948
Speaker 5: His wild card is Jackson Dark. Now I'm not a

664
00:29:00,988 --> 00:29:03,468
Speaker 5: poker player, but I just learned this yesterday. I guess

665
00:29:03,508 --> 00:29:06,548
Speaker 5: a wildcard is something that that's very dangerous in the

666
00:29:06,668 --> 00:29:10,268
Speaker 5: right person's hands. Brian dabo has that wild card in

667
00:29:10,348 --> 00:29:13,708
Speaker 5: his hands. However, if played wrong, if played too early,

668
00:29:14,108 --> 00:29:16,828
Speaker 5: you can bust. So I'm thinking that when I'm looking

669
00:29:16,908 --> 00:29:19,788
Speaker 5: at this Giants, I'm you got to play your hand right,

670
00:29:20,068 --> 00:29:22,268
Speaker 5: and I think Brian Daball is doing that. So that's

671
00:29:22,348 --> 00:29:25,548
Speaker 5: why I think this message and this decision is a

672
00:29:25,668 --> 00:29:27,668
Speaker 5: big deal, Sarah.

673
00:29:27,508 --> 00:29:28,868
Speaker 6: You know who this is a big deal for it

674
00:29:28,948 --> 00:29:30,468
Speaker 6: when this came out, or say, I was thinking of this.

675
00:29:30,828 --> 00:29:32,828
Speaker 6: It's a big deal for Mitch Morse because, as we

676
00:29:32,948 --> 00:29:36,948
Speaker 6: learned on the show yesterday with Mitch, nobody loves the

677
00:29:37,228 --> 00:29:40,868
Speaker 6: when it comes to a quarterback competition in camp media

678
00:29:40,948 --> 00:29:43,348
Speaker 6: being out there being like two picks for this guy

679
00:29:43,588 --> 00:29:46,628
Speaker 6: in practice, three picks for this guy in Nobody loves

680
00:29:46,788 --> 00:29:50,508
Speaker 6: the stat keeping in practice in the middle of July

681
00:29:50,908 --> 00:29:51,348
Speaker 6: than Mitch.

682
00:29:51,548 --> 00:29:53,148
Speaker 4: So, Mitch, they don't have to do that. They're reporters

683
00:29:53,188 --> 00:29:53,508
Speaker 4: in New York.

684
00:29:53,508 --> 00:29:54,748
Speaker 6: I mean, they're going to watch what the other guys

685
00:29:54,748 --> 00:29:56,308
Speaker 6: are going to do, but they're not going to have

686
00:29:56,428 --> 00:29:59,468
Speaker 6: to sit there and dissect every single pass.

687
00:29:59,548 --> 00:30:02,268
Speaker 4: So I know you love that, Mitch about training camp.

688
00:30:02,588 --> 00:30:04,988
Speaker 11: Well, they gave me a list of words to use

689
00:30:05,148 --> 00:30:10,148
Speaker 11: on air, and how I feel about those reporters and

690
00:30:10,268 --> 00:30:16,468
Speaker 11: doing that, I could use every single It drives me nuts.

691
00:30:17,068 --> 00:30:20,188
Speaker 11: Let the guys figure it out on the practice field

692
00:30:20,548 --> 00:30:24,148
Speaker 11: and then use those comments, interceptions, throwing, whatever when it

693
00:30:24,268 --> 00:30:29,068
Speaker 11: really matters regular season and postseason games. Please, please God,

694
00:30:29,468 --> 00:30:29,948
Speaker 11: I can't wait.

695
00:30:29,988 --> 00:30:32,228
Speaker 6: I can't wait till I'm out at Titans practice on

696
00:30:32,308 --> 00:30:34,908
Speaker 6: Saturday and I'm like, well, this is what happened at practice,

697
00:30:34,908 --> 00:30:37,148
Speaker 6: And I'm like, Mitch's gonna hate me, okay.

698
00:30:36,988 --> 00:30:40,788
Speaker 2: Russell's former I know, I don't hate you. I don't

699
00:30:40,868 --> 00:30:41,068
Speaker 2: do it.

700
00:30:41,268 --> 00:30:43,548
Speaker 4: But in fairness, I don't do that. I'm always like,

701
00:30:43,788 --> 00:30:44,468
Speaker 4: this doesn't even count.

702
00:30:44,508 --> 00:30:44,988
Speaker 8: What are we doing?

703
00:30:45,428 --> 00:30:49,468
Speaker 6: Russell's former receiver, George Pickens, has a new home in Dallas.

704
00:30:49,548 --> 00:30:51,548
Speaker 6: Pickens says that he is not going to act like

705
00:30:51,628 --> 00:30:54,988
Speaker 6: a princess on the field. Instead, he compared he and

706
00:30:55,108 --> 00:30:57,708
Speaker 6: Ceedee Lamb to a very iconic duo.

707
00:30:59,388 --> 00:31:03,588
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, for sure. Why just just different type of

708
00:31:03,748 --> 00:31:06,748
Speaker 14: styles of play. Like a lot of people over the

709
00:31:06,828 --> 00:31:08,748
Speaker 14: years got different type of styles of play. But CD's

710
00:31:08,748 --> 00:31:10,028
Speaker 14: a certain type of guy and then I'm a certain

711
00:31:10,028 --> 00:31:12,108
Speaker 14: type of guy. So when you mess that together, it's

712
00:31:12,188 --> 00:31:13,748
Speaker 14: like Mario Bros. You see what I mean.

713
00:31:13,868 --> 00:31:15,628
Speaker 7: So like, we definitely could do something special.

714
00:31:17,548 --> 00:31:17,908
Speaker 4: Big deal?

715
00:31:17,948 --> 00:31:20,668
Speaker 6: Are no big deal that Pickens compared he and CD

716
00:31:20,868 --> 00:31:24,508
Speaker 6: to Mario and Luigi without having played any snaps in

717
00:31:24,588 --> 00:31:26,468
Speaker 6: a game yet there WILLI yeah.

718
00:31:26,468 --> 00:31:28,908
Speaker 12: It's a big deal because I think it's high host

719
00:31:28,988 --> 00:31:31,668
Speaker 12: for Cowboy fans. You talk about CD Lamb being in

720
00:31:31,708 --> 00:31:33,508
Speaker 12: a slot, being that intermediate threat.

721
00:31:33,588 --> 00:31:35,348
Speaker 7: You know what he can do with the football in

722
00:31:35,428 --> 00:31:35,788
Speaker 7: his hands.

723
00:31:35,868 --> 00:31:37,948
Speaker 12: Yards have to catch and now you have a deep

724
00:31:38,068 --> 00:31:40,228
Speaker 12: thread and George Pickens, you know you can blow the

725
00:31:40,308 --> 00:31:43,228
Speaker 12: top off of defense. But overall, man, you know they're

726
00:31:43,588 --> 00:31:46,588
Speaker 12: expecting this duel to have over a thousand yards each.

727
00:31:46,788 --> 00:31:46,908
Speaker 13: Right.

728
00:31:47,068 --> 00:31:49,268
Speaker 12: The last duel to do that in the Cowboys uniform

729
00:31:49,708 --> 00:31:52,668
Speaker 12: was a Marik Cooper and Michael Gallup, even Terrell Owens, right,

730
00:31:53,108 --> 00:31:55,988
Speaker 12: and Terry Green and Terry Glynn. So they're looking to

731
00:31:56,028 --> 00:31:57,948
Speaker 12: get that type of production out of out.

732
00:31:57,788 --> 00:31:58,268
Speaker 7: Of these two.

733
00:31:58,548 --> 00:32:01,988
Speaker 12: Now, for CD Lamb, it's just about being healthy, remaining helping,

734
00:32:02,068 --> 00:32:02,828
Speaker 12: staying freshed.

735
00:32:03,028 --> 00:32:05,308
Speaker 7: But George Pickens and you produce.

736
00:32:05,108 --> 00:32:06,988
Speaker 12: And can he up his maturity?

737
00:32:07,108 --> 00:32:07,228
Speaker 7: Right?

738
00:32:07,268 --> 00:32:09,108
Speaker 12: There was a lot of talks off the field about

739
00:32:09,108 --> 00:32:10,988
Speaker 12: how he was a little bit of a pride baby.

740
00:32:11,148 --> 00:32:12,988
Speaker 7: It was a little bit of distraction for that team.

741
00:32:13,268 --> 00:32:15,508
Speaker 12: Can he change that card and land in Dallas and

742
00:32:15,548 --> 00:32:17,908
Speaker 12: be a productive guy that they could depend on because

743
00:32:17,988 --> 00:32:19,428
Speaker 12: Dak's go to need it. He's a third two year

744
00:32:19,428 --> 00:32:21,748
Speaker 12: old quarterback coming off a hamstring injury. He's going to

745
00:32:21,828 --> 00:32:23,828
Speaker 12: need guys that can show up each and every Sunday

746
00:32:24,068 --> 00:32:26,308
Speaker 12: and be that guy. Be him if he was as

747
00:32:26,308 --> 00:32:28,108
Speaker 12: a young kid. Say so, I'm excited to see these

748
00:32:28,148 --> 00:32:28,828
Speaker 12: two young guys go.

749
00:32:29,108 --> 00:32:30,748
Speaker 11: I don't know if it's a big deal or not

750
00:32:30,788 --> 00:32:34,108
Speaker 11: a big deal. It's a strange deal, but let's talk

751
00:32:34,148 --> 00:32:38,748
Speaker 11: about manifestation. They're going to manifest these two guys into

752
00:32:38,828 --> 00:32:41,308
Speaker 11: being a one to two punch for the Dallas Cowboys.

753
00:32:41,468 --> 00:32:44,428
Speaker 11: And as Willie attested to, both of these guys individually

754
00:32:44,468 --> 00:32:48,668
Speaker 11: have been proven to be substantial at contributors on the field.

755
00:32:48,788 --> 00:32:51,908
Speaker 11: Can we see George Pickens make that step in growth

756
00:32:51,948 --> 00:32:54,308
Speaker 11: like WILLI had talked about. I think it'll be interesting.

757
00:32:54,908 --> 00:32:58,188
Speaker 11: It's a very hip and cool reference. It kind of

758
00:32:58,228 --> 00:33:00,468
Speaker 11: went over my head, but I understand what they're going for,

759
00:33:01,108 --> 00:33:04,228
Speaker 11: and I'll be eating my words when these guys are

760
00:33:04,508 --> 00:33:07,468
Speaker 11: both teetering over a thousand yards or mid season.

761
00:33:07,868 --> 00:33:09,308
Speaker 5: Oh Mitch, you said it went over your head. Let

762
00:33:09,348 --> 00:33:11,188
Speaker 5: me try to help you understand. I think it's a

763
00:33:11,228 --> 00:33:13,188
Speaker 5: big deal. And the reason why I think it's a

764
00:33:13,188 --> 00:33:15,028
Speaker 5: big deal is, for the most part, it's accurate. You

765
00:33:15,068 --> 00:33:17,028
Speaker 5: think about Mario and Luigi, they're different.

766
00:33:17,428 --> 00:33:18,908
Speaker 7: Luigi's a little bit taller.

767
00:33:19,548 --> 00:33:21,748
Speaker 5: You look at George Pickens, He's an inch taller, than

768
00:33:21,828 --> 00:33:25,148
Speaker 5: CD Lamb. Luigi is also the more emotional one of

769
00:33:25,228 --> 00:33:27,908
Speaker 5: the brothers, but Mario is more of the stoic where

770
00:33:28,188 --> 00:33:31,268
Speaker 5: Cedee Lamb is more stoic, he seems more chill. But

771
00:33:31,428 --> 00:33:33,428
Speaker 5: the thing that I think is a little inaccurate is

772
00:33:33,548 --> 00:33:35,628
Speaker 5: and the thing that I really the reason why I

773
00:33:35,708 --> 00:33:38,028
Speaker 5: think this is a big deal is Luigi isn't as

774
00:33:38,188 --> 00:33:41,308
Speaker 5: known as Mario. It's like Batman and Robbie. You know

775
00:33:41,348 --> 00:33:43,348
Speaker 5: a lot about Batman, not a lot about Robin. And

776
00:33:43,468 --> 00:33:46,108
Speaker 5: my question for George Pickens is are you prepared to

777
00:33:46,148 --> 00:33:49,548
Speaker 5: be Luigi? Because the Dallas Cowboys and CD Lamb, that's

778
00:33:49,628 --> 00:33:52,588
Speaker 5: Cedee Lamb's team. Both of these guys have never been

779
00:33:52,828 --> 00:33:55,428
Speaker 5: on a team where they have to be wide receiver too.

780
00:33:55,548 --> 00:33:57,828
Speaker 5: And we saw last year throughout the career of George

781
00:33:57,908 --> 00:34:00,668
Speaker 5: Pickens what happens when he doesn't get the catches, when

782
00:34:00,708 --> 00:34:03,028
Speaker 5: he doesn't get that tention, when he's not the one

783
00:34:03,108 --> 00:34:06,348
Speaker 5: catching the touchdown passes, he becomes Luigi. He gets really

784
00:34:06,428 --> 00:34:10,428
Speaker 5: emotional and he gets distraught. So how is that going

785
00:34:10,468 --> 00:34:12,588
Speaker 5: to look like for the Dallas Cowboys when you have

786
00:34:12,668 --> 00:34:14,708
Speaker 5: somebody like CD Lamb where you know the ball is

787
00:34:14,788 --> 00:34:16,948
Speaker 5: going to them. And you're George Pickens and they may

788
00:34:17,028 --> 00:34:18,428
Speaker 5: not go to you all the time. So that is

789
00:34:18,508 --> 00:34:20,828
Speaker 5: something that I'm looking at. I think it's a big

790
00:34:20,908 --> 00:34:22,908
Speaker 5: deal in a lot of right ways, and it's also

791
00:34:22,948 --> 00:34:24,948
Speaker 5: a big deal in ways that we'll just have to

792
00:34:25,028 --> 00:34:29,348
Speaker 5: wait and see. So Mario and Luigi Cede, Lamb and

793
00:34:29,348 --> 00:34:31,508
Speaker 5: George Pickens, I think it's pretty accurate.

794
00:34:31,708 --> 00:34:33,388
Speaker 6: Yeah, can you keep him happy? He said he's not

795
00:34:33,388 --> 00:34:35,148
Speaker 6: going to be a princess on the field, but again

796
00:34:35,468 --> 00:34:38,228
Speaker 6: things changed. It depends on wins. If you're winning, winning,

797
00:34:38,268 --> 00:34:40,948
Speaker 6: saulves so much. So you're right Manti to see how

798
00:34:41,028 --> 00:34:44,468
Speaker 6: that shakes out. Obviously, the Cowboys know the person and

799
00:34:44,548 --> 00:34:46,228
Speaker 6: the player that they're getting there, and so how they

800
00:34:46,348 --> 00:34:49,108
Speaker 6: manage that, obviously is going to be a huge deal.

801
00:34:54,428 --> 00:34:55,028
Speaker 2: Good mon,
