I'm just gonna leave and go get a coffee. 28 00:01:40,948 --> 00:01:42,508 Speaker 1: We need the games to start so we can talk 29 00:01:42,508 --> 00:01:44,828 Speaker 1: about it with reality. I can't project it. Perhaps we 30 00:01:44,868 --> 00:01:48,268 Speaker 1: will reveal it to you when we get to Until then, 31 00:01:48,508 --> 00:01:51,268 Speaker 1: it is time for the lead right here in New York, 32 00:01:51,348 --> 00:01:53,388 Speaker 1: I guess we have to talk about it. The Giants 33 00:01:53,388 --> 00:01:55,988 Speaker 1: wrap up the preseason this Sunday against their crosstown rival 34 00:01:56,068 --> 00:01:58,988 Speaker 1: Jets here on NFL Network. When the regular season gets going, 35 00:01:59,228 --> 00:02:01,948 Speaker 1: the Gmail will be looking for a huge, I'm talking 36 00:02:02,108 --> 00:02:04,468 Speaker 1: huge bounce back from this guy, se Quon Barkley, and 37 00:02:04,508 --> 00:02:06,268 Speaker 1: it sounds like he's ready for it. He said on 38 00:02:06,308 --> 00:02:11,108 Speaker 1: the Second Wind podcast. What do you say? He said this? 39 00:02:11,148 --> 00:02:13,428 Speaker 1: Do I feel like I'm back? I feel like, I'm better. 40 00:02:14,028 --> 00:02:16,228 Speaker 1: I always have the mindset of being counted out, but 41 00:02:16,348 --> 00:02:19,268 Speaker 1: now it's actually here, It's actually real, people are really 42 00:02:19,308 --> 00:02:22,028 Speaker 1: counting me out. Now I have that extra motivation to 43 00:02:22,068 --> 00:02:23,588 Speaker 1: push me to go out there and kind of just 44 00:02:23,668 --> 00:02:27,428 Speaker 1: be like, you know what, shut everyone up. I'm ready 45 00:02:27,508 --> 00:02:31,388 Speaker 1: to go crazy. There were a few exellatives in there 46 00:02:31,468 --> 00:02:35,708 Speaker 1: that I self edited and self corrected that usually it 47 00:02:35,748 --> 00:02:38,188 Speaker 1: was just surprising from a normally reserved sake On Barkley. 48 00:02:38,668 --> 00:02:41,588 Speaker 1: So what would a true comeback season from Saquon Barkley 49 00:02:41,628 --> 00:02:44,068 Speaker 1: mean for the Giants? This season? Big things? And I 50 00:02:44,108 --> 00:02:46,148 Speaker 1: don't think it's a coincidence the Saquon was working Blue 51 00:02:46,148 --> 00:02:48,308 Speaker 1: in that podcast, like he knows, he knows what time 52 00:02:48,308 --> 00:02:50,428 Speaker 1: it is, like he knows the stakes are big. When 53 00:02:51,148 --> 00:02:53,028 Speaker 1: is this the last time we ever opened a good 54 00:02:53,028 --> 00:02:55,068 Speaker 1: morning football show of Saquon Barkley talk. I hope not. 55 00:02:55,388 --> 00:02:57,348 Speaker 1: I hope we do it the morning after the Cowboys game, 56 00:02:57,388 --> 00:02:59,268 Speaker 1: which is Week three on Monday Night Football. But I 57 00:02:59,308 --> 00:03:01,348 Speaker 1: think we need to. It's been so long because he's 58 00:03:01,348 --> 00:03:03,548 Speaker 1: had some terrible injuries. I just think we need to 59 00:03:03,588 --> 00:03:06,028 Speaker 1: remind ourselves everyone at home what sa Quon is. In 60 00:03:06,068 --> 00:03:09,188 Speaker 1: my opinion, the most gifted running back in the whole league, 61 00:03:09,268 --> 00:03:12,188 Speaker 1: more than anybody. Number one. Let's go back to his 62 00:03:12,268 --> 00:03:14,668 Speaker 1: rookie year, all right, he is playing a primetime game 63 00:03:14,708 --> 00:03:17,388 Speaker 1: against the world champion Eagles and he does the sa 64 00:03:17,468 --> 00:03:19,988 Speaker 1: Quon thing. At what point Joe Buck is so lost 65 00:03:19,988 --> 00:03:22,428 Speaker 1: for words, he just starts spouting adjectives and we were 66 00:03:22,428 --> 00:03:24,108 Speaker 1: all there with him. This is the sa Quon that 67 00:03:24,108 --> 00:03:30,348 Speaker 1: they need this year. Setting up the screen for Barkley 68 00:03:31,148 --> 00:03:35,148 Speaker 1: blocking in front, first down and more into Eagle territory, 69 00:03:35,348 --> 00:03:44,388 Speaker 1: still going incredible, incredible. Wow. This guy's hard to bring 70 00:03:44,388 --> 00:03:46,548 Speaker 1: to the ground at his size and speed and the 71 00:03:46,548 --> 00:03:49,668 Speaker 1: thighs that he has, and you're gonna watch a number 72 00:03:49,668 --> 00:03:52,148 Speaker 1: of players Eagles that just bounce off of him and 73 00:03:52,188 --> 00:03:54,988 Speaker 1: are unable to get him to the ground. Any questions 74 00:03:55,028 --> 00:03:58,548 Speaker 1: as to why they've picked him second overall? Fifty five 75 00:03:58,668 --> 00:04:03,468 Speaker 1: yards from sa Quon Barkley, there's a lot of questions 76 00:04:03,468 --> 00:04:05,428 Speaker 1: why they picked him second overall. Not that night, but 77 00:04:05,508 --> 00:04:07,068 Speaker 1: there are right now, and we don't need to play 78 00:04:07,148 --> 00:04:09,108 Speaker 1: the game where a while they could have taken Quinton 79 00:04:09,188 --> 00:04:12,588 Speaker 1: Nelson or Roquan Smith or Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson 80 00:04:12,668 --> 00:04:14,468 Speaker 1: or on and on and on they didn't. He was 81 00:04:14,508 --> 00:04:17,148 Speaker 1: the truth, he was sensational, He's he's the generational guy. 82 00:04:17,548 --> 00:04:20,748 Speaker 1: Injury injury injury. If they can get that sa Quon, 83 00:04:21,028 --> 00:04:23,708 Speaker 1: that is a seventeen hundred yard rusher, that is a 84 00:04:23,748 --> 00:04:26,148 Speaker 1: twenty four hundred yard guy, the Giants can win the 85 00:04:26,188 --> 00:04:29,068 Speaker 1: division this year. They can. I think they have playmakers 86 00:04:29,068 --> 00:04:31,628 Speaker 1: now and Jones will see say Quan is that much 87 00:04:31,708 --> 00:04:33,908 Speaker 1: of a difference maker. And there's no player in the 88 00:04:33,988 --> 00:04:35,468 Speaker 1: NFL that I want to have a huge season more 89 00:04:35,508 --> 00:04:37,868 Speaker 1: than him right now. Too talented, too good of a guy. 90 00:04:38,068 --> 00:04:40,668 Speaker 1: But that quote says everything. I don't know if I'm 91 00:04:40,668 --> 00:04:42,348 Speaker 1: gonna be competing for a spot, you know, on the 92 00:04:42,388 --> 00:04:44,068 Speaker 1: Cardinals next year. I don't know if I'm gonna be back. 93 00:04:44,068 --> 00:04:45,308 Speaker 1: I don't know if the long term thing is gonna 94 00:04:45,308 --> 00:04:46,828 Speaker 1: be here. It's go time, and it's been go time 95 00:04:46,868 --> 00:04:49,948 Speaker 1: for three years. Everything in sports media with these with 96 00:04:49,988 --> 00:04:53,748 Speaker 1: the athletes right now seems to be kind of curated. 97 00:04:53,948 --> 00:04:56,468 Speaker 1: So you know, well, I'm gonna do with Derek Jeter 98 00:04:56,588 --> 00:04:59,308 Speaker 1: doc but Derek Jeter's producing it, and we're gonna do 99 00:04:59,308 --> 00:05:01,548 Speaker 1: a podcast, but it's gonna be from us. It's not 100 00:05:01,548 --> 00:05:04,908 Speaker 1: gonna be you interviewing us. Everything is so letted. How 101 00:05:04,908 --> 00:05:07,028 Speaker 1: are we going to let the message for sa Quan 102 00:05:07,588 --> 00:05:10,588 Speaker 1: to come out two weeks before the season, who never 103 00:05:10,628 --> 00:05:14,268 Speaker 1: says anything and certainly doesn't go blue to say blank everybody, 104 00:05:14,308 --> 00:05:17,268 Speaker 1: I'm ready to go crazy. You better believe that's calculated 105 00:05:17,308 --> 00:05:19,748 Speaker 1: in some way and that he wants that message out there. 106 00:05:20,228 --> 00:05:22,108 Speaker 1: This is a guy who we've loved in this market 107 00:05:22,148 --> 00:05:24,668 Speaker 1: since he got drafted and hasn't had a single quote 108 00:05:24,708 --> 00:05:27,228 Speaker 1: worth putting on a billboard. Here we are and during 109 00:05:27,228 --> 00:05:30,748 Speaker 1: this crucial season, two weeks before this season, and he's 110 00:05:30,788 --> 00:05:35,068 Speaker 1: going proactively on a podcast and saying this quote right here. 111 00:05:35,868 --> 00:05:37,708 Speaker 1: I have to think you have to feel encouraged as 112 00:05:37,748 --> 00:05:39,708 Speaker 1: a Giants fan because you haven't seen that side of 113 00:05:39,788 --> 00:05:43,668 Speaker 1: him verbally, at least publicly, and as someone in our 114 00:05:43,708 --> 00:05:48,108 Speaker 1: world in the sports media market. Great, we love this. 115 00:05:48,108 --> 00:05:51,588 Speaker 1: This is cat nip. This is awesome. Where Okay, you're 116 00:05:51,668 --> 00:05:54,068 Speaker 1: on board with us. We want to see that. And 117 00:05:54,548 --> 00:05:56,428 Speaker 1: we live in New York, we work in New York. 118 00:05:56,788 --> 00:06:00,028 Speaker 1: The Giants have been irrelevant for years. They're not going 119 00:06:00,068 --> 00:06:02,348 Speaker 1: to be relevant if sae Quon Barkley isn't on the field, 120 00:06:02,348 --> 00:06:04,548 Speaker 1: And say Quon Barkley isn't the one leading the way 121 00:06:04,788 --> 00:06:07,788 Speaker 1: that Joe Buck clip you played from what twenty eighteen? 122 00:06:07,948 --> 00:06:10,908 Speaker 1: Incredible Wow. At the end of it, he says, and 123 00:06:10,948 --> 00:06:13,428 Speaker 1: now you want now you see why they took him second. 124 00:06:13,468 --> 00:06:16,148 Speaker 1: Overall that might as well has been in black and white. 125 00:06:16,548 --> 00:06:19,788 Speaker 1: That's how long Eli threw him the past. Eli is 126 00:06:19,828 --> 00:06:22,668 Speaker 1: doing funny business on ESPN Plus right now. This is 127 00:06:22,708 --> 00:06:26,428 Speaker 1: a different deal right now where it's Rubert Metzeroud. And 128 00:06:26,548 --> 00:06:29,628 Speaker 1: yet he's twenty five years old. He's got a future 129 00:06:29,668 --> 00:06:31,788 Speaker 1: ahead of him. It would be huge, But the Giants 130 00:06:31,988 --> 00:06:34,828 Speaker 1: are not going anywhere this season if sa Quan isn't 131 00:06:34,828 --> 00:06:36,468 Speaker 1: on the field, and that's the most important part. That 132 00:06:36,508 --> 00:06:38,588 Speaker 1: must have been very therapeutic for him, I mean, for 133 00:06:38,668 --> 00:06:41,348 Speaker 1: good and bad. When he was drafted second overall, we 134 00:06:41,388 --> 00:06:44,188 Speaker 1: didn't see the billboard material like yeah, I'm the guy whatever. 135 00:06:44,348 --> 00:06:47,748 Speaker 1: When he had all of his injuries, sequence after sequence, 136 00:06:47,828 --> 00:06:49,908 Speaker 1: you also didn't see him saying, I'll be back to 137 00:06:49,948 --> 00:06:51,668 Speaker 1: worry about me. So the fact that it took him 138 00:06:51,788 --> 00:06:54,428 Speaker 1: years to come out and have this commentary about himself 139 00:06:54,828 --> 00:06:57,228 Speaker 1: just shows us that he's been listening and jesting it. 140 00:06:57,348 --> 00:06:59,148 Speaker 1: And so good for you, sa Quan for coming out 141 00:06:59,188 --> 00:07:01,588 Speaker 1: and speaking your mind about what you think and how 142 00:07:01,628 --> 00:07:04,148 Speaker 1: you think from season will project out to be. I 143 00:07:04,508 --> 00:07:06,148 Speaker 1: hope it's incredible for him. I want him to get 144 00:07:06,188 --> 00:07:09,188 Speaker 1: after it. I want him to bounce back. My concern here, though, 145 00:07:09,308 --> 00:07:11,468 Speaker 1: is with the New York Giants and how this pertains 146 00:07:11,748 --> 00:07:13,548 Speaker 1: to another topic that I think we're all sick of 147 00:07:13,628 --> 00:07:15,828 Speaker 1: talking about, which is, how is Daniel Jones going to 148 00:07:15,868 --> 00:07:19,108 Speaker 1: be the guy for the New York Giants? Because if he, 149 00:07:19,628 --> 00:07:22,308 Speaker 1: if Barkley does what he just told us on this 150 00:07:22,348 --> 00:07:24,748 Speaker 1: podcast he's going to do, which is go crazy, go off, 151 00:07:24,908 --> 00:07:27,788 Speaker 1: I'm gonna bleep everybody and just show him what I'm hearth. 152 00:07:28,148 --> 00:07:29,548 Speaker 1: What does that mean for us that they're going to 153 00:07:29,588 --> 00:07:31,188 Speaker 1: win to the Vision and the Jones are going to 154 00:07:31,228 --> 00:07:33,028 Speaker 1: be in the playoffs? What does that mean that Daniel 155 00:07:33,068 --> 00:07:35,268 Speaker 1: Jones finds himself in a playoff game? Does he win 156 00:07:35,308 --> 00:07:37,908 Speaker 1: a playoff game all of a sudden? I'm feeling very 157 00:07:38,068 --> 00:07:40,508 Speaker 1: Jared Goff Todd Gurley about this, Like, do they give 158 00:07:40,588 --> 00:07:43,148 Speaker 1: him a contract because Daniel Jones is in the playoff? 159 00:07:43,308 --> 00:07:46,428 Speaker 1: Did he get him there? Whose responsibility was for it 160 00:07:46,468 --> 00:07:49,748 Speaker 1: to happen? So? What it's silos, It's i want this 161 00:07:49,788 --> 00:07:51,988 Speaker 1: for Saquon Barkley. I want this to happen, but what 162 00:07:51,988 --> 00:07:54,708 Speaker 1: would it mean for the greater good of the Giants 163 00:07:54,708 --> 00:07:57,388 Speaker 1: and the fact that is what she is. Anything you 164 00:07:57,388 --> 00:07:59,068 Speaker 1: ever wanted from Daniel Jones was to get him to 165 00:07:59,068 --> 00:08:01,908 Speaker 1: a playoff? Did he do it? Does he earn that contract? 166 00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:04,908 Speaker 1: What does it all mean? So it's very challenging for 167 00:08:04,948 --> 00:08:07,388 Speaker 1: me because I really I don't believe that Dannon Jones 168 00:08:07,468 --> 00:08:09,268 Speaker 1: is the long term answer for the Giants, but it 169 00:08:09,308 --> 00:08:12,308 Speaker 1: could be very confusing if this is the season that 170 00:08:12,388 --> 00:08:14,308 Speaker 1: we think it's going to be. Yeah, for sure, especially 171 00:08:14,308 --> 00:08:16,948 Speaker 1: for the Giants, and I think for overall as a whole. Yes, 172 00:08:16,988 --> 00:08:19,068 Speaker 1: it's great for the Giants at say Quon's back, but 173 00:08:19,148 --> 00:08:22,028 Speaker 1: just for the NFL, like you just said, most talented 174 00:08:22,068 --> 00:08:24,308 Speaker 1: back there is, I think in the league right now 175 00:08:24,788 --> 00:08:27,188 Speaker 1: to get a chance to watch them. I don't think 176 00:08:27,228 --> 00:08:29,028 Speaker 1: we've heard his name mentioned in years. I mean Kyle 177 00:08:29,108 --> 00:08:31,588 Speaker 1: saying it based on talent, like potential he's saying potential. 178 00:08:31,628 --> 00:08:33,828 Speaker 1: It's hard to argue the potential when we saw an eighteen, 179 00:08:33,868 --> 00:08:35,668 Speaker 1: but no that that hasn't been to move on so 180 00:08:35,788 --> 00:08:40,308 Speaker 1: quick on the Taylor and all these years old, I 181 00:08:40,388 --> 00:08:42,028 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. But for the league to see 182 00:08:42,068 --> 00:08:43,948 Speaker 1: this guy back. I remember we're getting ready to play 183 00:08:44,028 --> 00:08:46,828 Speaker 1: them Thursday Night football in twenty nineteen, and you come 184 00:08:46,828 --> 00:08:48,908 Speaker 1: off the Thursday night game, so that Monday, you come in, 185 00:08:49,028 --> 00:08:51,108 Speaker 1: you watch the film real quick, and then you start 186 00:08:51,108 --> 00:08:52,948 Speaker 1: to get ready for the next team. So we're in 187 00:08:52,948 --> 00:08:55,188 Speaker 1: our dB meeting room and they put on just kind 188 00:08:55,228 --> 00:08:57,188 Speaker 1: of say Quans highlights from his rookie year, and we 189 00:08:57,188 --> 00:08:59,028 Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to play against them that year, 190 00:08:59,308 --> 00:09:01,628 Speaker 1: so you don't get to see it. Everybody in there 191 00:09:01,668 --> 00:09:04,068 Speaker 1: was watching with their mouth wide open, like, oh my goodness, 192 00:09:04,108 --> 00:09:06,348 Speaker 1: we have to tackled this guy now the way his 193 00:09:06,428 --> 00:09:09,788 Speaker 1: career went. Unfortunately, he didn't play in that game due 194 00:09:09,788 --> 00:09:12,908 Speaker 1: to injuries, so a kind of shows the trajectory. But 195 00:09:13,028 --> 00:09:15,268 Speaker 1: I mean, for him to say these things on the podcast, 196 00:09:15,308 --> 00:09:18,068 Speaker 1: I'm fired up, like person all of life that like, 197 00:09:18,348 --> 00:09:21,108 Speaker 1: let's go. He's been in the dungeon in the basement, 198 00:09:21,388 --> 00:09:23,668 Speaker 1: seeing what everybody's saying about him while he's working to 199 00:09:23,708 --> 00:09:27,748 Speaker 1: get back, and it kind of inspired me. Comeback story, Yeah, sneaky, 200 00:09:27,788 --> 00:09:33,788 Speaker 1: top five comebacks in history right now, I got it ready. 201 00:09:34,308 --> 00:09:37,228 Speaker 1: In sports, Let's start with Let's go five to one. 202 00:09:37,468 --> 00:09:40,708 Speaker 1: Let's start with Derek Rolls fifty the bottom game against 203 00:09:40,748 --> 00:09:44,508 Speaker 1: the Jazz in eighteen. He was an MVP eight years 204 00:09:44,748 --> 00:09:49,028 Speaker 1: between these are the Timberwolves. Timberwolves fifty points. Number four, 205 00:09:49,228 --> 00:09:51,668 Speaker 1: Tiger was, you know he was. He was golf when 206 00:09:51,668 --> 00:09:54,228 Speaker 1: you thought when you thought of golf, it was Tiger was. 207 00:09:54,388 --> 00:09:56,788 Speaker 1: Then you know, there was an awslot of things from 208 00:09:57,028 --> 00:10:00,428 Speaker 1: injuries to infidelities and all of those things we're not. 209 00:10:01,508 --> 00:10:04,828 Speaker 1: But then in twenty nineteen he won the masses first 210 00:10:04,868 --> 00:10:07,468 Speaker 1: Major in eleven years. And then we all know it. 211 00:10:07,748 --> 00:10:12,148 Speaker 1: The little Giants. They were able to overcome the Cowboys, 212 00:10:12,348 --> 00:10:15,628 Speaker 1: ice box led the way and was able to overcome 213 00:10:15,708 --> 00:10:19,908 Speaker 1: Spike in a classic game. Then number two twenty eight 214 00:10:19,948 --> 00:10:22,988 Speaker 1: to three. We all know what those numbers mean. Patriots 215 00:10:22,988 --> 00:10:26,468 Speaker 1: come back after a big deficit against the Falcons to 216 00:10:26,588 --> 00:10:30,308 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl and number one average Jove's they 217 00:10:30,428 --> 00:10:33,668 Speaker 1: keep their gym. If you can dodge a wrench, you 218 00:10:33,708 --> 00:10:38,068 Speaker 1: can dodge a ball. A classic comeback story. Sneaky top 219 00:10:38,068 --> 00:10:41,428 Speaker 1: fos So where would land on that list? Two thousand 220 00:10:41,508 --> 00:10:44,548 Speaker 1: yards season from Sakwe two thousand yard Russian season? Where's 221 00:10:44,708 --> 00:10:46,908 Speaker 1: he is he? Above? The twenty eighth three. I mean, 222 00:10:46,948 --> 00:10:48,868 Speaker 1: I'm a person of the moment. If he does it, 223 00:10:48,988 --> 00:10:54,268 Speaker 1: he's number one, Number One's sorry, it's incredible. It's justin long. 224 00:10:54,428 --> 00:10:57,788 Speaker 1: He's number one. That's rare. Everybody rare, a top five. 225 00:10:57,828 --> 00:10:59,948 Speaker 1: It's becoming a thing. It's taking on and once a 226 00:10:59,988 --> 00:11:07,348 Speaker 1: segment looks like an ambush. Hey, time for ye black Black. 227 00:11:07,428 --> 00:11:09,708 Speaker 1: The Bills wrap up their preseason on Friday night against 228 00:11:09,708 --> 00:11:12,508 Speaker 1: the Panthers on NFL Plus, and we may actually see 229 00:11:12,548 --> 00:11:14,908 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. He's one of a few superstar quarterbacks who's 230 00:11:14,908 --> 00:11:16,868 Speaker 1: got a real playing time in the last couple of weeks. 231 00:11:17,188 --> 00:11:19,468 Speaker 1: Josh is not only dealing with the huge expectations for 232 00:11:19,548 --> 00:11:22,588 Speaker 1: Buffalo though this season, he's also losing his offensive coordinator, 233 00:11:22,588 --> 00:11:24,548 Speaker 1: Brian Davil, who's now the head coach of the New 234 00:11:24,628 --> 00:11:28,228 Speaker 1: York Giants. But the Bill's quarterback doesn't seem too concern 235 00:11:28,388 --> 00:11:31,068 Speaker 1: about the change that coordinator. Here's what Josh recently had 236 00:11:31,068 --> 00:11:34,828 Speaker 1: to say about the transition to new coordinator Ken Dorsey. 237 00:11:35,268 --> 00:11:39,708 Speaker 1: He developed different relationships with different people, but in terms 238 00:11:39,748 --> 00:11:42,868 Speaker 1: of being able to trust somebody, Oh so I trusted 239 00:11:42,948 --> 00:11:45,788 Speaker 1: Davil with my life, and I think I'd be willing 240 00:11:45,788 --> 00:11:47,948 Speaker 1: to say the same thing for Dorsey, and again that's 241 00:11:47,948 --> 00:11:50,068 Speaker 1: only going to continue to grow. But he's been in 242 00:11:50,108 --> 00:11:51,868 Speaker 1: the room with me for the last three years, you know, 243 00:11:51,908 --> 00:11:54,068 Speaker 1: So that trust and that that faith that I have 244 00:11:54,148 --> 00:11:58,428 Speaker 1: in him and him and me is already through the roof, 245 00:11:58,468 --> 00:12:00,108 Speaker 1: you know, and it's only going to grow as time 246 00:12:00,188 --> 00:12:05,788 Speaker 1: goes on. That's awesome to hear. Job sounds confident in 247 00:12:05,868 --> 00:12:07,828 Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey, as he should. He said, quite a storied 248 00:12:07,868 --> 00:12:10,588 Speaker 1: career from quarterback at Miami to being drafted by the 249 00:12:10,708 --> 00:12:13,588 Speaker 1: Niners and then up and up through the coaching ranks. 250 00:12:13,588 --> 00:12:15,268 Speaker 1: But this is a big shift for the Super Bowl 251 00:12:15,308 --> 00:12:18,708 Speaker 1: contenders and some are even considering the Bills the favorites 252 00:12:18,788 --> 00:12:22,068 Speaker 1: in Buffalo. So how important is it this change at 253 00:12:22,108 --> 00:12:24,708 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator to Josh Allen and the Bills and the 254 00:12:24,748 --> 00:12:26,988 Speaker 1: transition and what it all means. It's important. I mean, 255 00:12:27,188 --> 00:12:29,428 Speaker 1: he's a guy calling the plays. I mean, but I 256 00:12:29,428 --> 00:12:31,388 Speaker 1: think it's going to be an easy transition. That's why 257 00:12:31,428 --> 00:12:33,908 Speaker 1: they stayed in house to do. So you heard what 258 00:12:33,988 --> 00:12:37,428 Speaker 1: Josh Allen just said. Earlier in training camp, he talked 259 00:12:37,468 --> 00:12:38,988 Speaker 1: about it too. He said, we've been in the room 260 00:12:39,028 --> 00:12:41,308 Speaker 1: for three years, and he said, we don't only share 261 00:12:41,388 --> 00:12:43,868 Speaker 1: football when you're in those meetings for so long, for 262 00:12:43,948 --> 00:12:47,108 Speaker 1: so many hours throughout training camp, throughout the season. He said, 263 00:12:47,148 --> 00:12:50,428 Speaker 1: we talk life as well. So Ken Dorsey and Josh 264 00:12:50,428 --> 00:12:53,188 Speaker 1: Allen they know each other well. And I think more importantly, 265 00:12:53,228 --> 00:12:56,268 Speaker 1: we see his connection to the players during the OTAs 266 00:12:56,268 --> 00:12:59,308 Speaker 1: they talked about this guy and his coach and gave 267 00:12:59,428 --> 00:13:02,148 Speaker 1: Davis and both miss Moore's they talked about this guy, 268 00:13:02,148 --> 00:13:03,948 Speaker 1: and they talked about whether they should be down on 269 00:13:03,988 --> 00:13:05,708 Speaker 1: the side, whether they should be up in the box, 270 00:13:05,868 --> 00:13:08,348 Speaker 1: and they echo some of the same things Josh Allen 271 00:13:08,428 --> 00:13:11,748 Speaker 1: said earlier about the possible psycho path. And this isn't 272 00:13:11,988 --> 00:13:13,908 Speaker 1: we can't have him out there on the field, and 273 00:13:13,988 --> 00:13:16,028 Speaker 1: this isn't to talk about where he's actually going to 274 00:13:16,068 --> 00:13:17,948 Speaker 1: be on game day, but it's to talk about the 275 00:13:18,068 --> 00:13:21,148 Speaker 1: level of comfort that these players have. Guys don't just 276 00:13:21,228 --> 00:13:23,868 Speaker 1: go into media and say things about a coach unless 277 00:13:23,868 --> 00:13:27,108 Speaker 1: they're comfortable about it. Josh Allen tweeted after the psychopath 278 00:13:27,188 --> 00:13:30,028 Speaker 1: stuff to Ken Dorsey, Hey, that's what a psychopath would say. 279 00:13:30,188 --> 00:13:33,548 Speaker 1: They're comfortable with Ken. They know Ken. It's a personal relationship. 280 00:13:33,588 --> 00:13:36,148 Speaker 1: So I think when you are coached, those connections you 281 00:13:36,188 --> 00:13:38,588 Speaker 1: have with your players go a long way. And what 282 00:13:38,708 --> 00:13:42,268 Speaker 1: Josh Allen said about building trush and that translate on Sunday, 283 00:13:42,388 --> 00:13:44,708 Speaker 1: it's a big loss in that Dable was the guy 284 00:13:44,828 --> 00:13:46,628 Speaker 1: from the second he walked in that room, and you 285 00:13:46,708 --> 00:13:49,268 Speaker 1: understand that's your comfort, that's your coach, that's your guy. 286 00:13:49,268 --> 00:13:51,708 Speaker 1: And he said he'd live and die with Brian Dable, 287 00:13:51,708 --> 00:13:52,908 Speaker 1: but he would do the same for Ken Dorsey. I 288 00:13:52,908 --> 00:13:55,308 Speaker 1: also think there's a little wrinkle of the room. Do 289 00:13:55,348 --> 00:13:57,788 Speaker 1: you know who the backup quarterbacks in Buffalo are this year? 290 00:13:58,588 --> 00:14:01,308 Speaker 1: Case Keenum and Matt Barkley, two guys who have been 291 00:14:01,348 --> 00:14:04,148 Speaker 1: through it, like if there's any like big brother need 292 00:14:04,268 --> 00:14:06,468 Speaker 1: or some feeling. And then you add in Dorsey and 293 00:14:06,508 --> 00:14:09,748 Speaker 1: I'll add in another wild card. Joe Brady's the quarterbacks coach. 294 00:14:09,788 --> 00:14:11,668 Speaker 1: Remember Joe Brady when he got into the league, was 295 00:14:11,668 --> 00:14:14,348 Speaker 1: this wonder from the from the Saints to LSU to 296 00:14:14,428 --> 00:14:17,068 Speaker 1: the Panthers. Was thirty years old and was like the 297 00:14:17,068 --> 00:14:20,028 Speaker 1: hottest thing. That the Panthers abruptly fired him mid season 298 00:14:20,148 --> 00:14:22,508 Speaker 1: last year. Well, he kicks around a little bit and 299 00:14:22,548 --> 00:14:25,268 Speaker 1: he ends up in Buffalo as their quarterbacks go do 300 00:14:25,428 --> 00:14:29,348 Speaker 1: a really good room around probably the most you know, 301 00:14:29,428 --> 00:14:32,668 Speaker 1: anticipated highly expected number one player in the league with 302 00:14:32,788 --> 00:14:34,868 Speaker 1: Josh Allen right now, So are you telling me you 303 00:14:34,948 --> 00:14:38,188 Speaker 1: lose Dable? But you bring in, you know, a case 304 00:14:38,268 --> 00:14:40,508 Speaker 1: Keenum as a big brother type in that room. You 305 00:14:40,628 --> 00:14:43,068 Speaker 1: have Dorsey now elevated, who everyone wants to see him 306 00:14:43,068 --> 00:14:45,228 Speaker 1: get elevated, and then you bring in a Joe Brady 307 00:14:45,228 --> 00:14:47,148 Speaker 1: who's still in his early thirties and is going to 308 00:14:47,228 --> 00:14:49,548 Speaker 1: be a great coach in the NFL. I feel really 309 00:14:49,548 --> 00:14:52,948 Speaker 1: comfortable about it. The difference here, though, is that Josh 310 00:14:52,988 --> 00:14:56,068 Speaker 1: Allen was there from day one, so like he is 311 00:14:56,108 --> 00:14:59,148 Speaker 1: fully leaving the nest and a lot of quarterbacks deal 312 00:14:59,188 --> 00:15:01,308 Speaker 1: with seven coordinators in seven years. That hasn't been the 313 00:15:01,348 --> 00:15:05,388 Speaker 1: case for Josh Allen. That adjustment periods real. But no, 314 00:15:05,548 --> 00:15:07,388 Speaker 1: they hired within and they brought in some veteran guys. 315 00:15:07,388 --> 00:15:09,268 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be okay. Yeah. What goes on 316 00:15:09,348 --> 00:15:10,988 Speaker 1: here is when you have something that's been built up 317 00:15:10,988 --> 00:15:13,588 Speaker 1: as much as Alan and the Bills, that seems basically perfect, 318 00:15:14,028 --> 00:15:16,868 Speaker 1: you look for a foothold to resist. What's gonna be 319 00:15:16,908 --> 00:15:18,988 Speaker 1: the fly in the ointment? What is going to ruin this? 320 00:15:19,468 --> 00:15:21,828 Speaker 1: And after the months and months of this offseason, where 321 00:15:21,868 --> 00:15:24,388 Speaker 1: we've landed on is but they James coordinators, and sometimes 322 00:15:24,388 --> 00:15:26,268 Speaker 1: people say it earnestly, and I think Peter brings it 323 00:15:26,348 --> 00:15:28,388 Speaker 1: up sometimes just to be Devil's advocate. Don't forget they're 324 00:15:28,468 --> 00:15:31,268 Speaker 1: changing coordinators. I just can't get there. I can't get 325 00:15:31,308 --> 00:15:33,188 Speaker 1: there to say, yeah, you know what, this might not 326 00:15:33,268 --> 00:15:36,748 Speaker 1: work out in the offense. Just we have to understand too, 327 00:15:37,188 --> 00:15:40,708 Speaker 1: maybe it's even gonna be better as anybody considered that 328 00:15:40,708 --> 00:15:42,708 Speaker 1: that as much as we love Brian dam On everything, 329 00:15:42,948 --> 00:15:45,148 Speaker 1: you go to Dorsey, who was a little bit younger, 330 00:15:45,228 --> 00:15:47,748 Speaker 1: who's got that kind of fire like Alan has, and 331 00:15:47,788 --> 00:15:50,348 Speaker 1: who has been in the heart of battle as the 332 00:15:50,428 --> 00:15:54,748 Speaker 1: quarterback of the greatest college football team ever. I mean Dorsey, 333 00:15:54,828 --> 00:15:57,108 Speaker 1: you know, his career, he didn't have the Allen skill set, 334 00:15:57,228 --> 00:15:59,148 Speaker 1: but he's sitting there on the holldle with Shocky and 335 00:15:59,148 --> 00:16:01,588 Speaker 1: Andre Johnson and Frank Gore and Will it's mcgay. He 336 00:16:01,868 --> 00:16:05,028 Speaker 1: beating Nebraska by two thousand points as the coolest guy 337 00:16:05,108 --> 00:16:07,988 Speaker 1: in the room. So like there's a huge factor that 338 00:16:07,988 --> 00:16:10,708 Speaker 1: he gives that to Josh, is that when you're going 339 00:16:10,748 --> 00:16:13,188 Speaker 1: down the field at Arrowhead, I'm in your ear and 340 00:16:13,268 --> 00:16:15,388 Speaker 1: I've been there I've been going down the field in 341 00:16:15,428 --> 00:16:18,108 Speaker 1: the title game. I get it. I'm with you. You 342 00:16:18,108 --> 00:16:19,788 Speaker 1: can see. I don't think it's a coincidence what you 343 00:16:19,868 --> 00:16:23,068 Speaker 1: pointed out that they're jocular on Twitter. They bust chops 344 00:16:23,108 --> 00:16:26,028 Speaker 1: like they're buds and they're bros. I don't know if 345 00:16:26,108 --> 00:16:28,188 Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey can call a great game, and if he 346 00:16:28,308 --> 00:16:30,948 Speaker 1: is not a great play calling expert, then that's on him. 347 00:16:31,188 --> 00:16:32,668 Speaker 1: But I just don't think that this thing is going 348 00:16:32,708 --> 00:16:35,428 Speaker 1: to fall apart and we have found the crack in 349 00:16:35,468 --> 00:16:38,468 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty bills. Maybe I'll be wrong, but I 350 00:16:38,508 --> 00:16:40,468 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be because they have problems in their 351 00:16:40,468 --> 00:16:42,908 Speaker 1: pass rush or something like that. It's not gonna be. Yeah, 352 00:16:42,908 --> 00:16:44,868 Speaker 1: the Dorsey things didn't work out and the whole ara 353 00:16:44,948 --> 00:16:47,068 Speaker 1: went out of the balloon when Brian Dable. That's not it. 354 00:16:47,188 --> 00:16:49,748 Speaker 1: It's not good enough. No, it's tricky. But the problem 355 00:16:49,828 --> 00:16:52,668 Speaker 1: here is that there is the one thing that we 356 00:16:52,828 --> 00:16:56,148 Speaker 1: can put our fingerprint on if there are issues week four, 357 00:16:56,188 --> 00:16:58,508 Speaker 1: week five with what are you doing in the two minute? 358 00:16:58,508 --> 00:17:00,188 Speaker 1: What are you doing in the four minute? And it's 359 00:17:00,188 --> 00:17:02,588 Speaker 1: a very easy solution as to where we're supposed to 360 00:17:02,628 --> 00:17:04,748 Speaker 1: look and where we can cast out because the Bills 361 00:17:04,748 --> 00:17:06,748 Speaker 1: have shown us what they're made of up until this point, 362 00:17:06,748 --> 00:17:09,188 Speaker 1: and he is the only factor that has changed. Now. 363 00:17:09,188 --> 00:17:11,308 Speaker 1: If he maintains the success that he has had up 364 00:17:11,388 --> 00:17:13,828 Speaker 1: until this point, more power to him because this is 365 00:17:13,908 --> 00:17:16,748 Speaker 1: not the first head of dual threat quarterback he's been 366 00:17:16,788 --> 00:17:20,308 Speaker 1: able to wrap up and deliver an MVP caliber season. 367 00:17:20,428 --> 00:17:22,628 Speaker 1: When he was the quarterbacks coach with the Panthers in 368 00:17:22,628 --> 00:17:25,468 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, that was Russell or excuse me, that was 369 00:17:25,508 --> 00:17:28,748 Speaker 1: Cam Newton at his absolute finess thirty one points per 370 00:17:28,788 --> 00:17:31,028 Speaker 1: game he led the NFL. Granted, he is the quarterbacks 371 00:17:31,028 --> 00:17:33,348 Speaker 1: coach here, he's not calling plays, but it's not like 372 00:17:33,388 --> 00:17:35,988 Speaker 1: he was ignoring how a game was being called. This 373 00:17:36,028 --> 00:17:39,068 Speaker 1: is how coaches operate, They compile experience, and how they 374 00:17:39,108 --> 00:17:41,428 Speaker 1: would call games and how they would make decisions in 375 00:17:41,508 --> 00:17:44,068 Speaker 1: all of these moments. He is not a Joe Brady 376 00:17:44,108 --> 00:17:47,308 Speaker 1: who went from the Saints whatever job he had with 377 00:17:47,348 --> 00:17:49,908 Speaker 1: the Saints to the LSU where he was co offensive 378 00:17:49,908 --> 00:17:52,028 Speaker 1: coordinator and then that was just the only job he 379 00:17:52,068 --> 00:17:54,068 Speaker 1: had with the Panthers and it obviously didn't go well. 380 00:17:54,188 --> 00:17:57,188 Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey has the snowball effect here that he is 381 00:17:57,228 --> 00:17:59,028 Speaker 1: the right guy he was the only guy because the 382 00:17:59,068 --> 00:18:02,068 Speaker 1: Bills were so good and he was the only option 383 00:18:02,068 --> 00:18:03,828 Speaker 1: that they had to keep this thing going. And perhaps 384 00:18:03,828 --> 00:18:07,388 Speaker 1: he even better. The problem is test one. Test one, 385 00:18:07,508 --> 00:18:11,548 Speaker 1: as the coordinators Bill's offense, you're Aaron Donald's there, Ramsey's 386 00:18:11,548 --> 00:18:14,468 Speaker 1: guarding Digs or Gabe Davis, Bobby Wagner's in the middle. Like, 387 00:18:14,548 --> 00:18:16,708 Speaker 1: if they come out and they score sixteen points in 388 00:18:16,708 --> 00:18:18,788 Speaker 1: that game, there's gonna be a lot of fingerpointing at him, 389 00:18:18,828 --> 00:18:20,948 Speaker 1: depending how it goes. Here's here's the you know, and 390 00:18:20,948 --> 00:18:22,908 Speaker 1: I talk a lot about the coaching hiring cycles in 391 00:18:23,348 --> 00:18:24,828 Speaker 1: Uary and this is ahay and a lot of times 392 00:18:24,868 --> 00:18:27,228 Speaker 1: it's why are there all these offensive coaches and these 393 00:18:27,228 --> 00:18:29,428 Speaker 1: young offensive coaches, Why are they the ones getting hired 394 00:18:29,428 --> 00:18:31,228 Speaker 1: as head coaches? What about the defensive side of the ball. 395 00:18:31,828 --> 00:18:34,228 Speaker 1: The reason is because if you have a young quarterback 396 00:18:34,228 --> 00:18:37,308 Speaker 1: and you have great success, if you hire an offensive 397 00:18:37,348 --> 00:18:40,868 Speaker 1: head coach, a Matt Lafleur, a Nathaniel Hackett, a Sean McVay, 398 00:18:40,868 --> 00:18:45,548 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury, They're not going anywhere. They're Sean McDermott's a 399 00:18:45,548 --> 00:18:48,388 Speaker 1: defensive head coach. So to say that, hey, every year, 400 00:18:48,468 --> 00:18:50,428 Speaker 1: if Brian Day Ball takes the Giant's job. And if 401 00:18:50,508 --> 00:18:51,948 Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey is a big year and he gets to go, 402 00:18:52,148 --> 00:18:54,508 Speaker 1: now it's another guy for Josh Allen's another guy for 403 00:18:54,628 --> 00:18:57,428 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. That's the reason these offensive coaches are hired. 404 00:18:57,508 --> 00:19:01,468 Speaker 1: So the thought is that, like, hey, Dorsey, if he 405 00:19:01,548 --> 00:19:04,588 Speaker 1: has great success, is he out the door? Also didn't 406 00:19:04,588 --> 00:19:06,428 Speaker 1: worry about it, just took the focus on this year 407 00:19:06,868 --> 00:19:09,028 Speaker 1: and say let's get the best of it as he can. True, 408 00:19:09,108 --> 00:19:11,188 Speaker 1: I didn't think about that. That's so true though, very 409 00:19:11,188 --> 00:19:15,148 Speaker 1: true because from a defensive standpoint that offenses we always 410 00:19:15,148 --> 00:19:16,868 Speaker 1: talk about to win a Super Bowl, you need the 411 00:19:16,948 --> 00:19:20,228 Speaker 1: quarterback position to be well, to play well and to perform. 412 00:19:20,428 --> 00:19:23,188 Speaker 1: And for a defensive guy, sometimes you feel like you 413 00:19:23,188 --> 00:19:25,308 Speaker 1: have to make up for whatever the offense is lacking 414 00:19:25,388 --> 00:19:27,788 Speaker 1: and having that guy as the head guy with the 415 00:19:27,868 --> 00:19:30,868 Speaker 1: offensive mindset. It's very true. We see offensive coordinators hired 416 00:19:30,868 --> 00:19:33,988 Speaker 1: everything on. Fascinating that Sean McDermott decided to bring in 417 00:19:34,108 --> 00:19:37,188 Speaker 1: Joe Brady in the decision to elevate Ken Dorsey because 418 00:19:37,188 --> 00:19:40,588 Speaker 1: perhaps he was already hedging the potential for that to happen. 419 00:19:40,788 --> 00:19:43,188 Speaker 1: If Ken Dorsey doesn't have an unbelievable year and they 420 00:19:43,228 --> 00:19:45,988 Speaker 1: say that's still a great partnership. They're still going together. 421 00:19:46,068 --> 00:19:47,748 Speaker 1: But if he has a great season and he goes 422 00:19:47,748 --> 00:19:49,708 Speaker 1: off and becomes a head coach somewhere else, he being 423 00:19:49,788 --> 00:19:51,868 Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey, you have Joe Brady who has already been 424 00:19:51,908 --> 00:19:54,188 Speaker 1: a coordinator. And it's dated, but it was in Februaries 425 00:19:54,188 --> 00:19:56,108 Speaker 1: at the combine and I was at a breakfast spot 426 00:19:56,148 --> 00:19:58,468 Speaker 1: and at the table was just two men just going 427 00:19:58,468 --> 00:20:01,468 Speaker 1: back and forth, no laughter, no haha. It was Joe 428 00:20:01,508 --> 00:20:03,588 Speaker 1: Brady and Ken Dorsey. And you could see them already 429 00:20:03,588 --> 00:20:05,548 Speaker 1: like just getting in the trying to work and stuff, 430 00:20:05,588 --> 00:20:08,268 Speaker 1: and they're doing over pancakes or whatever. But I think 431 00:20:08,268 --> 00:20:10,908 Speaker 1: they're in really good shape. But Ken Dorsey's already a 432 00:20:10,908 --> 00:20:12,908 Speaker 1: hot name, so it's like, let's enjoy this while we 433 00:20:12,948 --> 00:20:15,268 Speaker 1: got it. Peters, do you think that Joe Brady needed 434 00:20:15,308 --> 00:20:19,068 Speaker 1: to go somewhere else to gain some more NFL especially 435 00:20:19,308 --> 00:20:22,548 Speaker 1: play calling offense coort And I think the quarterback coach 436 00:20:22,988 --> 00:20:25,188 Speaker 1: is not a sign of that he couldn't get it 437 00:20:25,188 --> 00:20:27,468 Speaker 1: done as an OC. It's actually a great spot for him. 438 00:20:27,468 --> 00:20:29,988 Speaker 1: And I think if the Bills have great success, you're 439 00:20:30,028 --> 00:20:31,988 Speaker 1: gonna hear Joe Brady's name mentioned it because guess what 440 00:20:32,028 --> 00:20:34,828 Speaker 1: two years ago after that LSU year, it was like, 441 00:20:35,028 --> 00:20:37,108 Speaker 1: there's no greater coach in all of football as far 442 00:20:37,148 --> 00:20:39,708 Speaker 1: as youth goes. And I hate to see him suddenly 443 00:20:39,708 --> 00:20:41,628 Speaker 1: being knocked down because of what happened in Carolina where 444 00:20:41,628 --> 00:20:43,868 Speaker 1: they had no quarterback stability. Yeah, you would have thought 445 00:20:43,868 --> 00:20:46,188 Speaker 1: like all of college football was just going to Carolina, 446 00:20:46,228 --> 00:20:47,828 Speaker 1: like Matt Rule went there and he goes and gets 447 00:20:47,868 --> 00:20:49,988 Speaker 1: Joe Brady. We're like, this is going to be unbelievable, 448 00:20:50,068 --> 00:21:01,188 Speaker 1: and we're still waiting for it to be unbelievable. Hey, 449 00:21:01,308 --> 00:21:04,188 Speaker 1: it's time for whiteboard Wednesday. In a recent interview with 450 00:21:04,228 --> 00:21:07,268 Speaker 1: The Athletic Dan Campbell was asked about opposing teams or 451 00:21:07,388 --> 00:21:10,988 Speaker 1: estimating his intelligence. Campbell said, did bother him, adding if 452 00:21:11,028 --> 00:21:13,988 Speaker 1: you're an opponent, the dumber you think I am, the 453 00:21:14,108 --> 00:21:16,508 Speaker 1: better off we are the player or team we are 454 00:21:16,548 --> 00:21:21,348 Speaker 1: seriously underestimating this season? Is this became the topic of 455 00:21:21,388 --> 00:21:24,908 Speaker 1: the offseason, the top wide receivers. We've seen Ryan Clark 456 00:21:24,988 --> 00:21:28,188 Speaker 1: and Crowder going and doing these things for the Pivot podcast. 457 00:21:28,228 --> 00:21:30,428 Speaker 1: We've got your list coming out today at NFL dot com. 458 00:21:30,468 --> 00:21:33,148 Speaker 1: Who's the best receiver, Who's the best receiver. I still 459 00:21:33,148 --> 00:21:35,548 Speaker 1: think Ceedee Lamb could be in that conversation this year, 460 00:21:35,628 --> 00:21:38,668 Speaker 1: and he's never mentioned. It's like you have your core 461 00:21:38,748 --> 00:21:42,348 Speaker 1: four and that's Cup and Adams, and of course you 462 00:21:42,468 --> 00:21:44,628 Speaker 1: bring in the two young guys Chase and Jefferson, and 463 00:21:44,628 --> 00:21:46,708 Speaker 1: then you can go a different variety of ways, whether 464 00:21:46,788 --> 00:21:50,508 Speaker 1: it's Tyreek and we'll get to Jason's list, but I 465 00:21:50,668 --> 00:21:53,788 Speaker 1: never hear Ceedee Lamb in that top list. When Ceedee 466 00:21:53,828 --> 00:21:55,828 Speaker 1: Lamb is the ball in his hands, it is he'd electric. 467 00:21:55,948 --> 00:21:59,268 Speaker 1: And I think Dak Prescott knows that Amari Cooper no 468 00:21:59,308 --> 00:22:02,348 Speaker 1: longer on the team, Cede the clear number one right now. 469 00:22:02,908 --> 00:22:04,668 Speaker 1: I just think he's being overlooked on all the this 470 00:22:04,988 --> 00:22:07,948 Speaker 1: And if Ryan Clark and Channing Crowder want to have 471 00:22:08,028 --> 00:22:10,388 Speaker 1: me on the podcast, I would be the one saying 472 00:22:10,508 --> 00:22:12,708 Speaker 1: I actually think Ceedee Lamb is that guy. I think 473 00:22:12,988 --> 00:22:15,988 Speaker 1: Lamb belongs in the conversation. M c D I see it. 474 00:22:16,068 --> 00:22:18,668 Speaker 1: I think he's first team all potential. Like him there, 475 00:22:18,908 --> 00:22:21,348 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts like some groups, I don't like, let's have 476 00:22:21,388 --> 00:22:23,628 Speaker 1: a breakout season, you know right on the custom Yeah 477 00:22:23,668 --> 00:22:26,588 Speaker 1: Hunter Runfold they talked about on the podcast called him 478 00:22:26,628 --> 00:22:30,148 Speaker 1: an Encyclopedia salesman. Really good player. Though for me, I'm 479 00:22:30,188 --> 00:22:32,628 Speaker 1: going to go with a guy I gotta go defense. 480 00:22:32,748 --> 00:22:36,028 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Jail and Thompson, who yes, exactly 481 00:22:36,348 --> 00:22:39,348 Speaker 1: watch the film Arizona Cardinals Defense. You're gonna see number 482 00:22:39,388 --> 00:22:42,548 Speaker 1: thirty four, just jumping off the film. But people don't 483 00:22:42,588 --> 00:22:45,428 Speaker 1: talk about him because he lines up across from Buddha Baker, 484 00:22:45,508 --> 00:22:48,748 Speaker 1: another really good safety, one of the best in the league. 485 00:22:48,788 --> 00:22:51,508 Speaker 1: But this guy was draft in the fifth round twenty 486 00:22:51,748 --> 00:22:55,908 Speaker 1: nineteen Supplemental Draft and has played his buttle even to 487 00:22:55,948 --> 00:22:58,188 Speaker 1: the point where he's gonna be calling the defense for 488 00:22:58,268 --> 00:23:01,228 Speaker 1: the Cardinals this year. A leader for them one hundred 489 00:23:01,268 --> 00:23:04,908 Speaker 1: and twenty one tackles last year, three interceptions and seven 490 00:23:04,948 --> 00:23:07,668 Speaker 1: pass breakups, and no one talks about it. This guy 491 00:23:07,748 --> 00:23:10,068 Speaker 1: is a really good player, one of the best open 492 00:23:10,148 --> 00:23:14,108 Speaker 1: field tacklers in the NFL, said buys coach Clip King. 493 00:23:14,228 --> 00:23:18,268 Speaker 1: Let's go love it something ham Me really rattled since yesterday, 494 00:23:18,348 --> 00:23:21,588 Speaker 1: And I'm officially a huge fan of Aaron shots in 495 00:23:21,628 --> 00:23:24,948 Speaker 1: the book that he's coming out with. He put the 496 00:23:25,028 --> 00:23:27,348 Speaker 1: Eagles in the Super Bowl, come out of the NFC, 497 00:23:27,468 --> 00:23:29,668 Speaker 1: and like, and I want to make sure I put 498 00:23:29,668 --> 00:23:33,268 Speaker 1: this right, Wait, underestimating this season. I'm not saying I'm 499 00:23:33,388 --> 00:23:35,108 Speaker 1: down on the Eagles. I'm not saying I don't think 500 00:23:35,148 --> 00:23:37,788 Speaker 1: they can do it. I simply have been underestimating them. 501 00:23:37,948 --> 00:23:41,228 Speaker 1: I appreciate different facets of their game. I like the 502 00:23:41,228 --> 00:23:42,908 Speaker 1: guys that are on team. I love their head coach. 503 00:23:43,108 --> 00:23:44,828 Speaker 1: But when I really started to think about it, after 504 00:23:44,828 --> 00:23:46,668 Speaker 1: Aaron Schatz was on our show yesterday, I was like, 505 00:23:47,188 --> 00:23:50,028 Speaker 1: I've been underestimating the Eagles. Like I didn't see it coming. 506 00:23:50,308 --> 00:23:52,788 Speaker 1: Just this is a slow built and all of a sudden, 507 00:23:53,068 --> 00:23:56,108 Speaker 1: I'm convinced because Aaron shots spoken into existence. For me, 508 00:23:56,108 --> 00:23:58,188 Speaker 1: I've been underestimating the Eagles. What I like about this 509 00:23:58,268 --> 00:24:00,188 Speaker 1: question at this juncture in time is it's clearly a 510 00:24:00,228 --> 00:24:01,988 Speaker 1: reflection of how in our heads we are about our 511 00:24:01,988 --> 00:24:04,508 Speaker 1: division and wildcard pick coming up in a couple who 512 00:24:04,548 --> 00:24:06,028 Speaker 1: do we believe? Man, I don't know if that's the 513 00:24:06,028 --> 00:24:07,868 Speaker 1: best segue to this, but I'm just gonna go right here. 514 00:24:08,828 --> 00:24:11,828 Speaker 1: This team is going to at least at least double 515 00:24:11,908 --> 00:24:14,508 Speaker 1: their win total from last year, which is three. I 516 00:24:14,508 --> 00:24:16,388 Speaker 1: think they open up against the Commanders. I'm lara gonna 517 00:24:16,388 --> 00:24:18,108 Speaker 1: say they're gonna win that game. They have a real 518 00:24:18,188 --> 00:24:20,148 Speaker 1: human being at head coach, They have a really good 519 00:24:20,148 --> 00:24:21,788 Speaker 1: pass for us, They have a number one overall pick. 520 00:24:21,868 --> 00:24:24,108 Speaker 1: I know everyone's going to sleep, Beau. I'm talking about Jaguars. 521 00:24:24,108 --> 00:24:27,068 Speaker 1: Ha ha ha, Peter. But I'm telling you this is 522 00:24:27,108 --> 00:24:29,148 Speaker 1: the team where we're like, oh my god, do you 523 00:24:29,188 --> 00:24:32,308 Speaker 1: know who's three and two? It's the Jaguars and Lawrence 524 00:24:32,388 --> 00:24:34,348 Speaker 1: is actually really good and he has a real coach 525 00:24:34,388 --> 00:24:36,948 Speaker 1: and they're winning games. Jaguars right now, save this clip? 526 00:24:37,028 --> 00:24:39,508 Speaker 1: Right what's the next question? No one cares because I 527 00:24:39,508 --> 00:24:43,308 Speaker 1: said the Jaguars. Everyone's completely at the table. Staff as sleeping, 528 00:24:43,348 --> 00:24:46,428 Speaker 1: the audience as sleeping. Sorry, you know it's not sleeping. 529 00:24:46,428 --> 00:24:49,548 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, he's answering questions all the time. He told 530 00:24:49,588 --> 00:24:51,828 Speaker 1: reporters that he tries to have one on one lunches 531 00:24:51,828 --> 00:24:54,068 Speaker 1: with his teammates that he hasn't connected with yet, sharing 532 00:24:54,108 --> 00:24:56,788 Speaker 1: meals with Romeo Dobbs, DeVante Whyatt and others so far 533 00:24:56,908 --> 00:25:00,468 Speaker 1: this season offseason. The NFL player or coach who would 534 00:25:00,508 --> 00:25:06,188 Speaker 1: be the best lunch date is Peter Jason. I'll start 535 00:25:06,268 --> 00:25:09,188 Speaker 1: us off. I'm going with Eric Bien and me. We 536 00:25:09,228 --> 00:25:11,908 Speaker 1: can go to a spot in Kansas City. I'm sure 537 00:25:11,908 --> 00:25:14,428 Speaker 1: Peter can give us a recommended yeah. But for me, 538 00:25:14,868 --> 00:25:17,908 Speaker 1: Sky has been on fourteen coaching interviews and the last 539 00:25:18,028 --> 00:25:20,108 Speaker 1: on three four seasons. I want to go and ask 540 00:25:20,188 --> 00:25:22,228 Speaker 1: him what's going on in these interviews, give me the 541 00:25:22,308 --> 00:25:25,028 Speaker 1: backdrop and then he also played in the NFL. He 542 00:25:25,068 --> 00:25:28,428 Speaker 1: would have stories for days. He's met with countless owners, 543 00:25:28,428 --> 00:25:30,868 Speaker 1: He's met with countless gm We could sit down and 544 00:25:30,948 --> 00:25:33,428 Speaker 1: have some great barbecue and discuss some good stuff. I'm 545 00:25:33,428 --> 00:25:36,868 Speaker 1: going I'm gonna go with arrival of EBS right now 546 00:25:36,868 --> 00:25:38,668 Speaker 1: and a guy who's got some Colorado blood in him 547 00:25:38,668 --> 00:25:41,668 Speaker 1: as well, and that's Russell Wilson. I feel like everyone 548 00:25:41,668 --> 00:25:44,188 Speaker 1: would say we Russell Wilson. I don't know if that's 549 00:25:44,188 --> 00:25:46,228 Speaker 1: really your kind of guy, Shrager. He's gonna give you 550 00:25:46,268 --> 00:25:48,668 Speaker 1: a lot of these positivity quotes, and he might do 551 00:25:48,708 --> 00:25:51,508 Speaker 1: something that might make it cringe. Guess what I feed 552 00:25:51,548 --> 00:25:53,948 Speaker 1: off that? I feed off that we had Russell Wilson 553 00:25:53,988 --> 00:25:55,148 Speaker 1: on the show, and I swear I was ready to 554 00:25:55,188 --> 00:25:56,708 Speaker 1: run through a war on a high after he came on. 555 00:25:56,908 --> 00:26:01,268 Speaker 1: This dude speaks it into existence, and I believe, like 556 00:26:01,268 --> 00:26:04,748 Speaker 1: we said with Dan Campbell, authenticity that is Russell Wilson, 557 00:26:04,948 --> 00:26:06,908 Speaker 1: and I feel like everyone can use that right now, 558 00:26:07,268 --> 00:26:10,508 Speaker 1: lifts you up positive In twenty twenty two, I'll take 559 00:26:10,508 --> 00:26:15,268 Speaker 1: a positive lunch once in a while. I'm going with 560 00:26:15,348 --> 00:26:17,428 Speaker 1: Russ Why don't you brighten my day? That's how I 561 00:26:17,468 --> 00:26:19,828 Speaker 1: feel about. My answer is that I need to enlighten 562 00:26:19,868 --> 00:26:23,188 Speaker 1: some positivity on them. I would like to have lunch 563 00:26:23,188 --> 00:26:26,388 Speaker 1: with Kirk Cousins because talk about it, like, I feel 564 00:26:26,388 --> 00:26:30,468 Speaker 1: like people are starting to sense my skepticism about him 565 00:26:30,588 --> 00:26:32,588 Speaker 1: as a quarter as a Vikings quarterback. It's because I 566 00:26:32,628 --> 00:26:34,348 Speaker 1: love the Viking so much and I just want us 567 00:26:34,348 --> 00:26:36,428 Speaker 1: to share a basket of waffle fries at a lake 568 00:26:36,468 --> 00:26:39,228 Speaker 1: Minatonka favorite Maynards, and I just I need him to 569 00:26:39,268 --> 00:26:41,468 Speaker 1: walk me through why he's the guy, and I just 570 00:26:41,668 --> 00:26:43,228 Speaker 1: I want to get into it. I want to cover 571 00:26:43,308 --> 00:26:44,828 Speaker 1: all the topics. I want to talk to him about 572 00:26:44,868 --> 00:26:48,028 Speaker 1: using SPF in the summertime and don't wear a tank top. 573 00:26:48,308 --> 00:26:50,268 Speaker 1: You know, it's just like all the things. It would 574 00:26:50,308 --> 00:26:52,268 Speaker 1: be a very enlightening lunch, But I just feel like 575 00:26:52,348 --> 00:26:53,788 Speaker 1: he and I need to need to get over some stuff. 576 00:26:53,788 --> 00:26:55,908 Speaker 1: Tell me about this Maynards Real quick Menards is a 577 00:26:56,068 --> 00:26:59,268 Speaker 1: lakeside restaurant and Lake Minnatonka and Minatonka, Minnesota.

I mean, guys, 581 00:27:08,788 --> 00:27:11,668 Speaker 1: if we could do a show from Menards, it would 582 00:27:11,708 --> 00:27:14,468 Speaker 1: change your life. You'll never really, you know, it's gonna 583 00:27:14,468 --> 00:27:16,268 Speaker 1: be great about that lunch is the check's gonna come. 584 00:27:16,268 --> 00:27:18,348 Speaker 1: He's gonna be like, so you wanted the waffle fries, 585 00:27:18,428 --> 00:27:21,588 Speaker 1: you had the club center, you owe sixteen and io 586 00:27:21,788 --> 00:27:23,708 Speaker 1: thirteen and you'll have to give him the cash. And 587 00:27:23,748 --> 00:27:26,388 Speaker 1: that's it's probably good about eight percent tip. The service 588 00:27:26,468 --> 00:27:28,508 Speaker 1: is pretty good. I'm so I have a chip on 589 00:27:28,588 --> 00:27:30,788 Speaker 1: my shoulder after my first answer. Yeah, So the guy 590 00:27:30,788 --> 00:27:33,748 Speaker 1: I want to have lunch with, I'm not gonna I 591 00:27:33,748 --> 00:27:36,228 Speaker 1: can't do it because we all look down. No, I 592 00:27:36,268 --> 00:27:38,068 Speaker 1: just I shouldn't have been surprised. I'm not gonna say 593 00:27:38,068 --> 00:27:40,468 Speaker 1: Trevor lunch. So actually, when I'm looking at a different perspective, 594 00:27:40,508 --> 00:27:42,388 Speaker 1: actually a little bit similar, Peter, I want to have lunch. 595 00:27:42,388 --> 00:27:44,068 Speaker 1: Who I think is the person in the NFL who 596 00:27:44,148 --> 00:27:46,588 Speaker 1: is most different from me? That I have nothing in 597 00:27:46,588 --> 00:27:49,228 Speaker 1: common with. Give me Dk metcalf. I want to sit 598 00:27:49,268 --> 00:27:51,508 Speaker 1: down with DK and I just want to just we 599 00:27:51,828 --> 00:27:55,268 Speaker 1: look very different. I'm much older, he's much younger. And 600 00:27:55,748 --> 00:27:57,708 Speaker 1: if you've seen the diet, I need to see if 601 00:27:57,748 --> 00:27:59,828 Speaker 1: this is real. Yeah. DK is on the record that 602 00:27:59,868 --> 00:28:02,828 Speaker 1: this is this entire daily consumption of food, three or 603 00:28:02,908 --> 00:28:05,708 Speaker 1: four bags of candy, one cup of coffee, and one 604 00:28:05,908 --> 00:28:08,348 Speaker 1: meal a day. Whatever. That is the most psychopath thing 605 00:28:08,428 --> 00:28:11,348 Speaker 1: about it is all the bags of candy or gummy candies. 606 00:28:11,428 --> 00:28:14,668 Speaker 1: It's not like peanut butter cups and sour and then this. 607 00:28:14,948 --> 00:28:17,228 Speaker 1: They're all gummy and I need to see that if 608 00:28:17,228 --> 00:28:19,268 Speaker 1: that's real. I'm at the point right now. We're doing 609 00:28:19,308 --> 00:28:20,868 Speaker 1: a segment later where the staff said we could all 610 00:28:20,868 --> 00:28:23,548 Speaker 1: eat waffles it's waffle day, and me and someone else 611 00:28:23,548 --> 00:28:25,428 Speaker 1: at the table said, I'm not a diet I can't 612 00:28:25,428 --> 00:28:29,108 Speaker 1: eat waffles, which is like in the most obnoxious post 613 00:28:29,188 --> 00:28:33,468 Speaker 1: maybe Emmy winning, like pathetic display of us a complaining 614 00:28:33,468 --> 00:28:36,228 Speaker 1: about our dressing rooms and be saying we won't eat waffles. 615 00:28:36,468 --> 00:28:38,228 Speaker 1: I need to eat the candy with Zca. Mine was 616 00:28:38,268 --> 00:28:40,828 Speaker 1: more about being memed of having syrup coming off my 617 00:28:40,868 --> 00:28:43,068 Speaker 1: faith Mine wasn't diet related. Mine was more I don't 618 00:28:43,108 --> 00:28:45,428 Speaker 1: want to have the food in my mouth and clip 619 00:28:45,508 --> 00:28:47,748 Speaker 1: all day long. But we'll get to that. Say great. 620 00:28:48,188 --> 00:28:50,548 Speaker 1: The Bills have yet to make a decision on if 621 00:28:50,628 --> 00:28:53,228 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey will be on the sidelines or 622 00:28:53,308 --> 00:28:55,868 Speaker 1: in the box during games. Here's what Josh Allen and 623 00:28:55,908 --> 00:28:59,428 Speaker 1: Dorsey himself had to say about the topic. When no 624 00:28:59,508 --> 00:29:01,228 Speaker 1: Caesar up in the box, I think they see things 625 00:29:01,228 --> 00:29:05,308 Speaker 1: a little bit better, you know. Coach McDermot said there 626 00:29:05,348 --> 00:29:08,188 Speaker 1: was quite a hefty fine for any any flags from 627 00:29:08,228 --> 00:29:10,628 Speaker 1: the refs from the coaching staff, so I think that 628 00:29:10,748 --> 00:29:13,468 Speaker 1: also entices Dorsey to go open the box. He gets, 629 00:29:13,508 --> 00:29:19,228 Speaker 1: he gets fiery. Man. Yeah, well I'm not. Uh. I'd 630 00:29:19,228 --> 00:29:21,268 Speaker 1: like to think I'm not too much of a psychopath, 631 00:29:21,348 --> 00:29:23,308 Speaker 1: like I feel like I'm I'm being made out to 632 00:29:23,348 --> 00:29:25,668 Speaker 1: be something. But no, I mean, look, I mean it's 633 00:29:25,708 --> 00:29:28,788 Speaker 1: a it's a passionate game, and I think, uh, you know, 634 00:29:28,868 --> 00:29:32,148 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's ball, it's football, you know. I mean, 635 00:29:32,228 --> 00:29:34,908 Speaker 1: so again, it's just gonna be one of those things 636 00:29:34,908 --> 00:29:36,268 Speaker 1: I want to do what's best for the team and 637 00:29:36,668 --> 00:29:39,708 Speaker 1: what's best for U for me calling it, but uh, 638 00:29:39,708 --> 00:29:41,388 Speaker 1: it probably wouldn't hurt to be up in the box 639 00:29:41,428 --> 00:29:47,228 Speaker 1: in that regard. So Josh Allen heard Dorsey say that 640 00:29:47,468 --> 00:29:51,868 Speaker 1: and responded, that is exactly what a psychopath would say. 641 00:29:51,828 --> 00:29:57,868 Speaker 1: Ye that laugh at giggle truble. So what is the 642 00:29:57,908 --> 00:30:01,908 Speaker 1: one thing that someone would call you a psychopath? Uh? Thanksgiving? 643 00:30:02,108 --> 00:30:05,108 Speaker 1: I go up to the I think that turkey's gross, 644 00:30:05,308 --> 00:30:08,108 Speaker 1: and people think I'm I'm a nutball for these that 645 00:30:08,468 --> 00:30:11,028 Speaker 1: you don't need the turkey either. I think that is vile. 646 00:30:11,308 --> 00:30:13,428 Speaker 1: I think that is gross and I'm not even like 647 00:30:13,508 --> 00:30:16,868 Speaker 1: this like vegetarian. They no, I just it's dry, it's 648 00:30:16,948 --> 00:30:18,868 Speaker 1: we don't need it any other day of the year. 649 00:30:18,988 --> 00:30:20,708 Speaker 1: Yet here comes thanks to get Everyone's had this great 650 00:30:20,708 --> 00:30:24,828 Speaker 1: appetite for it. I think it's uh. I think the 651 00:30:25,828 --> 00:30:29,068 Speaker 1: marketing and the commercialization convinces you that this turkey is tasty. 652 00:30:29,108 --> 00:30:30,668 Speaker 1: It's not. I don't like it and I can't even 653 00:30:30,668 --> 00:30:32,908 Speaker 1: think about it. It's gross. Don't call me anything. But 654 00:30:32,948 --> 00:30:35,428 Speaker 1: everything else is great. Yes, I think we're getting to 655 00:30:35,508 --> 00:30:37,988 Speaker 1: the point where if I'm into the turkey, that's the cycle, 656 00:30:38,708 --> 00:30:41,228 Speaker 1: Like who's still eating that turkey? What the hell? So 657 00:30:41,868 --> 00:30:44,708 Speaker 1: waffles turkey don't? We will see who eats what But 658 00:30:45,428 --> 00:30:49,508 Speaker 1: for me, I am going phone notification. I cannot have them. 659 00:30:49,708 --> 00:30:51,908 Speaker 1: Can't have the little bubbles on my phone. Like if 660 00:30:51,908 --> 00:30:54,428 Speaker 1: it's that it bothers me. I have to open it up. 661 00:30:54,508 --> 00:30:56,668 Speaker 1: I have to figure out what the notification is and 662 00:30:56,788 --> 00:30:58,708 Speaker 1: close it out and make sure it's not there. No 663 00:30:58,948 --> 00:31:04,228 Speaker 1: fall notification. M bottom right, you tell you're one of 664 00:31:04,228 --> 00:31:09,828 Speaker 1: the email und how many Okay, we're very two hundred 665 00:31:09,828 --> 00:31:15,148 Speaker 1: and sixty seven thousand of those people. Check your email Like, 666 00:31:16,708 --> 00:31:20,908 Speaker 1: come on, and that's your psychopath. Yes, you can go 667 00:31:20,908 --> 00:31:23,428 Speaker 1: into settings and turn that off. You don't have to 668 00:31:23,468 --> 00:31:25,148 Speaker 1: have the red bubbles. But I need to know what 669 00:31:25,228 --> 00:31:28,108 Speaker 1: stuff happens tween. There's two emails I have to get to. Okay, well, 670 00:31:28,148 --> 00:31:33,308 Speaker 1: we'll get our answers. This is a quick contentious in 671 00:31:33,348 --> 00:31:35,748 Speaker 1: my household. And I will do this activity and then 672 00:31:35,748 --> 00:31:37,868 Speaker 1: my husband five minutes later will be like, you're a psychopath. 673 00:31:37,868 --> 00:31:40,348 Speaker 1: I can't believe you just did that. I hate having 674 00:31:40,388 --> 00:31:45,228 Speaker 1: air conditioning in the car. Okay, so cold air on 675 00:31:45,268 --> 00:31:47,668 Speaker 1: my face one hundred degree day. I will just so 676 00:31:47,948 --> 00:31:51,428 Speaker 1: subtly reach over and turn it off without saying anything, 677 00:31:51,708 --> 00:31:53,948 Speaker 1: and then five minutes later he's just stretched and sweat 678 00:31:53,948 --> 00:31:56,188 Speaker 1: and he's like, did you run the air conditioning off? 679 00:31:56,188 --> 00:31:57,988 Speaker 1: In here? I don't put a window down, nothing like 680 00:31:58,028 --> 00:32:01,428 Speaker 1: I like stuffy in the car in the house. Use it. 681 00:32:02,948 --> 00:32:04,588 Speaker 1: Let's just say, when he leaves, when we go, the 682 00:32:04,668 --> 00:32:06,308 Speaker 1: town goes up, and when he comes I have to 683 00:32:06,308 --> 00:32:08,908 Speaker 1: turn it back down. But like, definitely, generally I like 684 00:32:09,068 --> 00:32:11,548 Speaker 1: a stuffy room. I don't like a lot of error movement. 685 00:32:11,628 --> 00:32:15,308 Speaker 1: That's an active war. There's no way while you're over 686 00:32:15,348 --> 00:32:17,148 Speaker 1: there turning off the AC you should heat the seat 687 00:32:17,148 --> 00:32:20,948 Speaker 1: warmer two on him. And again my real passive aggressive 688 00:32:21,028 --> 00:32:22,348 Speaker 1: is like he's got to turn it back on, and 689 00:32:22,348 --> 00:32:24,268 Speaker 1: then I'll just like shove all the fence away from me. 690 00:32:24,308 --> 00:32:26,908 Speaker 1: I'll be like, fine to get this air going. I 691 00:32:26,948 --> 00:32:28,868 Speaker 1: just can't stand it. He can't stand it. That sounds 692 00:32:28,908 --> 00:32:31,828 Speaker 1: like a blast. I feel like I'm in that car 693 00:32:31,948 --> 00:32:34,188 Speaker 1: right now and I'm so uncomfortable. I don't know. It 694 00:32:34,188 --> 00:32:37,228 Speaker 1: just makes me a psychopathing. But um, I don't love 695 00:32:37,228 --> 00:32:40,548 Speaker 1: the Godfather movies Here we Go, I really don't. I 696 00:32:40,588 --> 00:32:43,308 Speaker 1: wasn't raised on them. I saw them when I was 697 00:32:43,308 --> 00:32:46,508 Speaker 1: sniffitly older. There's a collection of great scenes, and there's 698 00:32:46,548 --> 00:32:49,068 Speaker 1: some really good characters, but like if you turn on 699 00:32:49,548 --> 00:32:52,828 Speaker 1: any episode of The Sopranos, I find it more entertaining, 700 00:32:52,868 --> 00:32:56,788 Speaker 1: more watchable. I think Goodfellas runs laps around the Godfather 701 00:32:56,868 --> 00:33:01,948 Speaker 1: in terms of watchability, entertainment, liveliness, and even performances in 702 00:33:01,988 --> 00:33:05,588 Speaker 1: some regard. Like my parents' generation right now is clutching 703 00:33:05,628 --> 00:33:08,108 Speaker 1: their pearls. And I like Vito, and I like Michael 704 00:33:08,148 --> 00:33:10,668 Speaker 1: and all that, but like I just they don't do 705 00:33:10,708 --> 00:33:12,748 Speaker 1: it for me. Like, is anybody else out there? What's 706 00:33:12,788 --> 00:33:16,148 Speaker 1: the god greatest movie ever? At the time, I'm sure 707 00:33:16,148 --> 00:33:19,548 Speaker 1: it was twenty twenty two. They're plotting, they're slow, some 708 00:33:19,588 --> 00:33:22,028 Speaker 1: of the violence is terribly pulled off. They can't chase 709 00:33:22,108 --> 00:33:23,988 Speaker 1: down ten year old Veto and back in the day 710 00:33:23,988 --> 00:33:25,868 Speaker 1: like it's a kid. There's a lot of problems I 711 00:33:25,908 --> 00:33:28,108 Speaker 1: had with it. I'm pretty sure the Staph wants us 712 00:33:28,108 --> 00:33:30,068 Speaker 1: to finish this second. We haven't gotten any indication of that, 713 00:33:30,108 --> 00:33:41,548 Speaker 1: but I think they do. Man, we have ourselves a treat. 714 00:33:41,828 --> 00:33:45,988 Speaker 1: This morning, a fellow twin, a fellow NFL player, just 715 00:33:46,068 --> 00:33:49,228 Speaker 1: announced his retirement. Hen Shaquille. They didn't get a chance 716 00:33:49,268 --> 00:33:51,428 Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl like me and my twin brother. 717 00:33:51,468 --> 00:33:53,828 Speaker 1: But that's not the point of this we have Shanquin 718 00:33:54,068 --> 00:33:58,588 Speaker 1: Griffin friends of the show. Thank you, Thank you guys 719 00:33:58,628 --> 00:34:00,748 Speaker 1: for having me appreciate that. Thanks. He didn't even let 720 00:34:00,788 --> 00:34:07,788 Speaker 1: you say hello.

Man, 725 00:34:20,948 --> 00:34:22,788 Speaker 1: what's that feel like? I mean, it's kind of still 726 00:34:22,828 --> 00:34:25,468 Speaker 1: surreal because you know, you never know how it's gonna 727 00:34:25,468 --> 00:34:27,468 Speaker 1: come about, and then when it does, you're starting to 728 00:34:27,508 --> 00:34:29,668 Speaker 1: put a lot of stuff in perspective. And I feel 729 00:34:29,668 --> 00:34:31,788 Speaker 1: like for me is you know, you know, playing with 730 00:34:31,828 --> 00:34:34,668 Speaker 1: your twin is it's something that's second to none. And 731 00:34:34,788 --> 00:34:37,068 Speaker 1: I feel like the journey that we you know, embarked 732 00:34:37,108 --> 00:34:39,668 Speaker 1: on as far as like growing up little league, you know, 733 00:34:39,828 --> 00:34:42,228 Speaker 1: high school, college and then get into the league, we 734 00:34:42,348 --> 00:34:45,948 Speaker 1: literally paid every phase with each other to the point 735 00:34:45,948 --> 00:34:48,068 Speaker 1: that I don't know what it looks like to play 736 00:34:48,308 --> 00:34:50,868 Speaker 1: without them. So I feel like for me is like 737 00:34:50,948 --> 00:34:52,868 Speaker 1: I'm telling you guys earlier, you know, I found a 738 00:34:52,908 --> 00:34:55,868 Speaker 1: new piece of mine because it's just like I kind 739 00:34:55,868 --> 00:34:57,908 Speaker 1: of knew what my push was. I knew that fact. 740 00:34:57,908 --> 00:35:00,108 Speaker 1: It wasn't it was family for me. It's like my 741 00:35:00,188 --> 00:35:02,628 Speaker 1: family believed in me before I even got to the chance. 742 00:35:02,708 --> 00:35:05,308 Speaker 1: You know what, Like this is real and I feel like, 743 00:35:05,468 --> 00:35:08,108 Speaker 1: you know, having that separation where I'm not with that 744 00:35:08,188 --> 00:35:10,708 Speaker 1: part that kind of gave me that drive, It's like 745 00:35:10,868 --> 00:35:13,468 Speaker 1: it's kind of bitter sweet, but it doesn't feel the same, 746 00:35:13,948 --> 00:35:15,628 Speaker 1: you know. And I feel like for me, it's like 747 00:35:16,508 --> 00:35:18,828 Speaker 1: Plan A for me was always to help people, you know, 748 00:35:19,068 --> 00:35:20,828 Speaker 1: not knowing how it's gonna look, and I know how 749 00:35:20,868 --> 00:35:22,788 Speaker 1: it's gonna come about, but I always want to that 750 00:35:22,868 --> 00:35:25,388 Speaker 1: paved that way to help anybody. You know. My mom 751 00:35:25,468 --> 00:35:27,948 Speaker 1: was somebody who always helps somebody. And my dad kind 752 00:35:27,988 --> 00:35:30,268 Speaker 1: of preach to us is like Plan B is football, 753 00:35:30,708 --> 00:35:32,508 Speaker 1: Plan A is that's what you need to focus on. 754 00:35:32,548 --> 00:35:33,828 Speaker 1: That's what you go to school for. That what you 755 00:35:33,868 --> 00:35:36,388 Speaker 1: get your good grades for. And like now it's like 756 00:35:36,628 --> 00:35:38,948 Speaker 1: it's starting to become a real thing. And you know, 757 00:35:38,988 --> 00:35:41,068 Speaker 1: that's why I was smiling so hard, because it's an 758 00:35:41,068 --> 00:35:43,868 Speaker 1: exciting thing. It's bitter sweet, yes, but it's an exciting 759 00:35:43,948 --> 00:35:46,628 Speaker 1: moment to barking in the the journey that I always wanted 760 00:35:46,708 --> 00:35:49,788 Speaker 1: to be in and that's motivating people, helping people, you know, 761 00:35:50,028 --> 00:35:52,828 Speaker 1: having people have that positive mindset and you know that 762 00:35:52,828 --> 00:35:56,228 Speaker 1: that mentality to you know, that be better than what 763 00:35:56,308 --> 00:35:57,748 Speaker 1: you think you really are. You know, because you got 764 00:35:57,748 --> 00:35:59,868 Speaker 1: so many people who believe in you, loving you, and 765 00:35:59,988 --> 00:36:02,348 Speaker 1: sometimes you got to tap into that side to see 766 00:36:02,388 --> 00:36:04,708 Speaker 1: more for yourself. And that's why I was able to doatiful. 767 00:36:04,988 --> 00:36:08,228 Speaker 1: And you've used your platform as well as any player 768 00:36:08,228 --> 00:36:10,628 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and you've changed as many lives. I 769 00:36:10,708 --> 00:36:14,268 Speaker 1: go back to February twenty eighteen when the NFL world, 770 00:36:14,268 --> 00:36:16,828 Speaker 1: but really the whole world, was introduced to your story 771 00:36:16,828 --> 00:36:20,068 Speaker 1: at the scouting combine. Tell us about that experience you're 772 00:36:20,108 --> 00:36:22,868 Speaker 1: doing not only the bench press but then the forty 773 00:36:22,948 --> 00:36:25,028 Speaker 1: yard dash and the reaction at the time, which was, 774 00:36:25,628 --> 00:36:27,948 Speaker 1: wait a second, this is a feel good story. Great, 775 00:36:27,988 --> 00:36:32,828 Speaker 1: but oh my, this guy could three Okay? Tell us 776 00:36:32,908 --> 00:36:35,628 Speaker 1: about that experience and when your name became more than 777 00:36:35,668 --> 00:36:38,348 Speaker 1: just this UCF story that everyone was rooting for that 778 00:36:38,428 --> 00:36:40,628 Speaker 1: wait a second, this guy can change the world. Man. 779 00:36:40,788 --> 00:36:43,588 Speaker 1: It's honestly, it's crazy because you know, during a combine, 780 00:36:43,668 --> 00:36:45,668 Speaker 1: like I was a guy who's under the radar, didn't 781 00:36:45,668 --> 00:36:47,628 Speaker 1: know too much. I remember talking to scouts like how 782 00:36:47,668 --> 00:36:50,148 Speaker 1: many bench pressure you're gonna do? Let me, I'll give five. 783 00:36:50,668 --> 00:36:53,188 Speaker 1: But thing is, knowingly I already knew what I was 784 00:36:53,228 --> 00:36:55,508 Speaker 1: able to do. But it's just like showing the world that. 785 00:36:55,588 --> 00:36:57,628 Speaker 1: It's just like it's kind of funny because when I 786 00:36:57,668 --> 00:36:59,588 Speaker 1: even had a meeting with the Seattle Seahawks, I was 787 00:36:59,588 --> 00:37:01,748 Speaker 1: just like, what's your name gonna run? It's like, what 788 00:37:01,788 --> 00:37:04,108 Speaker 1: do you think is fast? And it was like, for 789 00:37:04,148 --> 00:37:05,708 Speaker 1: a lie, I'm back in four or five, four six. 790 00:37:05,708 --> 00:37:07,508 Speaker 1: I was like, what you think is really fast? He 791 00:37:07,588 --> 00:37:09,868 Speaker 1: said really fast? Like this anytime. He's like, well, four 792 00:37:09,988 --> 00:37:11,788 Speaker 1: four for three, so I got a four three eight 793 00:37:11,828 --> 00:37:14,588 Speaker 1: for you. He's like no, no, I said, just watching 794 00:37:14,668 --> 00:37:16,828 Speaker 1: scene And it's so funny because after running there you 795 00:37:16,868 --> 00:37:19,388 Speaker 1: see the reactions in peace phases like I told you. 796 00:37:20,388 --> 00:37:22,428 Speaker 1: It's like, I thing, it's like I already know the 797 00:37:22,468 --> 00:37:25,068 Speaker 1: ability that I have physically. You know, really, when it 798 00:37:25,108 --> 00:37:26,948 Speaker 1: comes to it, it's like all a mental aspect. You know, 799 00:37:26,988 --> 00:37:28,548 Speaker 1: you got to show people what you can do because 800 00:37:28,588 --> 00:37:30,948 Speaker 1: people can't always have damn pinion on stuff and how 801 00:37:31,108 --> 00:37:33,228 Speaker 1: they think it should go. Once you show somebody, it 802 00:37:33,308 --> 00:37:35,868 Speaker 1: kind of feels better once you can prove like you know, 803 00:37:35,988 --> 00:37:38,068 Speaker 1: yeah can run Yaker bench like I was supposed to 804 00:37:38,068 --> 00:37:39,988 Speaker 1: be here physically, I was supposed to be here, and 805 00:37:40,028 --> 00:37:42,628 Speaker 1: I showcase that, and that's kind of now. It's like 806 00:37:42,668 --> 00:37:45,868 Speaker 1: when people like you have motivation, like it's still surreal 807 00:37:45,948 --> 00:37:48,508 Speaker 1: because I was just living my truth.

It was just new for the world. 810 00:37:52,588 --> 00:37:54,468 Speaker 1: And now that I'm able to embrace the world with that, 811 00:37:54,708 --> 00:37:56,748 Speaker 1: it's like it's a whole different feeling.

That sacked 889 00:41:50,508 --> 00:41:52,588 Speaker 1: with plus me and my brother celebrating and being each other. 890 00:41:52,828 --> 00:41:56,028 Speaker 1: I think it was a moment's gonna find us for 891 00:41:56,028 --> 00:41:58,588 Speaker 1: a long time. Incredible. It was a blessing. Well, let's 892 00:41:58,588 --> 00:42:01,228 Speaker 1: just say that your visibility as an NFL player, you 893 00:42:01,308 --> 00:42:02,868 Speaker 1: spoke to it that all you've ever wanted to do 894 00:42:02,988 --> 00:42:04,668 Speaker 1: is help people in your life, and you've been doing 895 00:42:04,748 --> 00:42:07,668 Speaker 1: that by playing out your careers in the NFL. How 896 00:42:07,748 --> 00:42:10,108 Speaker 1: has football now prepared you for your next chapter? I 897 00:42:10,188 --> 00:42:12,148 Speaker 1: feel like it taught me. It taught me more than 898 00:42:12,228 --> 00:42:15,028 Speaker 1: I can ever imagine. I feel like a lot of 899 00:42:15,108 --> 00:42:16,748 Speaker 1: a lot of people think like football is just like 900 00:42:17,188 --> 00:42:19,988 Speaker 1: hard now, so he's just always gotta be head first 901 00:42:20,068 --> 00:42:23,068 Speaker 1: and everything. But it teaches so many values mentally that 902 00:42:23,148 --> 00:42:24,668 Speaker 1: I feel like I was able to take away, you know, 903 00:42:24,788 --> 00:42:27,308 Speaker 1: being and Seattle, like I said Bobby Waddener kJ Wright, 904 00:42:27,628 --> 00:42:30,028 Speaker 1: being around Russ, being around these guys of you know 905 00:42:30,308 --> 00:42:32,868 Speaker 1: that this mental compatibility. It's just like you learn so 906 00:42:33,028 --> 00:42:35,308 Speaker 1: much about yourself other than football, So it's just like 907 00:42:35,628 --> 00:42:37,388 Speaker 1: being able to apply it after that, it makes it 908 00:42:37,468 --> 00:42:39,828 Speaker 1: more comfortable. You know, you got a brotherhood and it's 909 00:42:39,868 --> 00:42:42,268 Speaker 1: a real thing. I feel like it's underplayed sometimes, but 910 00:42:42,588 --> 00:42:44,508 Speaker 1: you got people out there who literally, Jainiely want to 911 00:42:44,548 --> 00:42:45,828 Speaker 1: see you win. And when you're able to have those 912 00:42:45,868 --> 00:42:48,908 Speaker 1: conversations about the next phase of life, talking to Cliff Avril, 913 00:42:49,148 --> 00:42:51,068 Speaker 1: talking to just a lot of guys, it's just they 914 00:42:51,188 --> 00:42:54,588 Speaker 1: make they make the decisions easier, they make it more worthwhile, 915 00:42:54,868 --> 00:42:56,788 Speaker 1: and they bring you a lot more peace. Football brings 916 00:42:56,788 --> 00:42:59,268 Speaker 1: a lot. Have you thought about doing this kind of stuff? 917 00:42:59,948 --> 00:43:01,948 Speaker 1: I thought about a lot of stuff. You know, this 918 00:43:02,108 --> 00:43:04,988 Speaker 1: is over to a lot.
