6
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: the cutting. I like all of that. Palmer. I like

7
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: the bench press because that's the one thing that we

8
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: can get really close to as media members. Yea, and

9
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: I like how guys are always pulling for other guys

10
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: when they start getting close to something and that whole

11
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: room starts erupting. That's that's that's a fun bench press

12
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: cam high stress for these younger aspects. It's very exciting.

24
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, okay, yesterday it was buzzing. You saw

25
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: all the news that was gonna come out. We're gonna

26
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: tackle it today. There's going to be more today. There

27
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: are a ton of coaches in GMS who will be

28
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: speaking to the media in the next few hours. Kevin

29
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: Stefanski will speak. We want to hear from him. Matt

30
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: Lafloor will speak. We want to hear from him. How

31
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: about some new coaches, Dennis Allen, New Orleans Saints, Kevin O'Connell,

32
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. And then we'll also hear from the quarterbacks,

33
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: the wide receivers, and the tight ends. They will have

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: their media availability too. It is our first attempt to

35
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: meet these young men. If you remember, two years ago,

36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow was asked about his hand size for about

37
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: thirty minute on one of these podiums. I don't think

38
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: anyone was talking about that when he was leading his

39
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: team past Patrick Mahomes in the AFC chph game. But

40
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: we start to get to know these guys today at

41
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: the combine and then throughout the afternoon we will hear

42
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: from a lot of coaches and gms, And I will

43
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: tell you if my horses and my voice a little horse.

44
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: Last night was lit here in Indy. It was out.

45
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: I mean everyone was out. It was an event last night.

46
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: People were out on about I will give you my

47
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: little page six. Matt Lafleur with now rival coach Kevin

48
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: O'Connell sitting together at dinner. I saw that Eagles Brass

49
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: was out. They were dining together. They were coming up

50
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: with a plan. Nathaniel Hackett from the Broncos saw him

51
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: in the same room as John Lynch and Adam Peters

52
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: from the forty nine Ers. No discussions. I wonder to

53
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: see if Jimmy j was going to be discussed. Nothing,

54
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: none of that interaction. But that's what happens. Everyone's in

55
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: the same rooms, in the same hallways. Hopefully, quoting Hamilton,

56
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: we can be in the room where it happens and

57
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: we can get all the news to you guys. Yes,

58
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: I love it. Who was the life of the party

59
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: shrinks The life of the party as always is Ian Rappaport.

60
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: He was out and about. I saw the man he

61
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: was holding court and I'll tell you if if if

62
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: Ian's voice is better than mine today, I'll be impressed. Wow.

63
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: The call out early morning from are you doing that? Schrager?

64
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: The voice of Dumin. I think we've we've figured it out. Yes,

65
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 1: eyes and ears, car, we'll talk to you in the

66
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: bit of time for the lead block. Ulling in my

67
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: ear about it because Ian Raba Hell no, all right,

68
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's quote unquote retirement question mark. Obviously they've been

69
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 1: a big hole to QB spot in at Tampa Bay

70
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: Bucks GM. Jason Light and head coach Bruce Arians both

71
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: spoke yesterday about life after Brady. Jason Light infect did

72
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: that on our show first, but let's take a listen

73
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: to what they have to say a little bit later

74
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: in the day. Does it sound like it's over over Tom?

75
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: As a special player, special person, We've had a great

76
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: two years here. Right now, we're you know, trying to

77
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: make our plans to move forward if that's the case

78
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: that we need to move forward on, and you know,

79
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that we still have to give.

80
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot of time here. Well, a couple of

81
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: weeks before free agency starts. You got the draft, you

82
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: got post draft. We've added players after the draft in

83
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: the past, some significant impact players after the draft and

84
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: after free agency. So we'll see what the future holds. Well,

85
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: let's just say we'll leave a light on there, hope. Honestly,

86
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: is the light on? Is there? Hope? We always leave

87
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: a light on for a guy like Tom Brady. We

88
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: addressed it last year. You know, we drafted Kyle Trast

89
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: number two for a reason. It's everything that we want

90
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: to do as a quarterback and really really like what

91
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: I saw for a year. So I doubt drafting is

92
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: an option for all the other guys. It's gonna be

93
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: a trade. Don't trade by yourself. You gotta have a partner,

94
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: so that could be out of the question. Have you

95
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: guys closed the door on Tom coming back? Is that? Oh,

96
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: that door's never closed, never to wants it back? He's back.

97
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm so intrigued by this. Is it like a they're

98
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: not over Tom Brady relationship thing? Like they're not It's

99
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: like when you break up with somebody and you're still

100
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: like holding up. Hope that it happens the lights on

101
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: the doors open for Tom Brady? What is the best

102
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: option James Palmer for the Buccaneers who don't seemed to

103
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: have a plan, or at least they're not telling us

104
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: what it is true before we get to that real quick.

105
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: I thought it was very telling from Bruce Arians and

106
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: Jason Light that if Tom Brady wants to be traded

107
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: to go play somewhere else, they are not letting that happen.

108
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: And Bruce Arians, I believe, said five ones if they

109
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: want us to trade Tom Brady, five ones was what

110
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: BA had to say. So let's look at what their

111
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: options are. I know everybody says and Jason Light thinks this.

112
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: They have a better roster now than they did two

113
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: seasons ago when it was that core group of players

114
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: that you know, was the group that lured Tom Brady

115
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: in and was sold Tom Brady on Tampa. They believe

116
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: this group's better and could do the same thing for

117
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: another player like say Russell Wilson. I just don't think

118
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: that's the best option. Russ's cap hit his thirty seven

119
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: million dollars. They are about two million dollars worth of

120
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: space right now, still haven't signed their draft picks. And

121
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: they have a ton of other players they needed to

122
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: take care of. But let's start with the guy who

123
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: I think might be their best realistic option. You heard

124
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: BA talk about him, Kyle Trask. Let's talk about the

125
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: quarterback they picked last year out of Florida. Let's not

126
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: forget this kid was four in the Heisman voting, set

127
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: the Florida single season passing record with over forty two

128
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: hundred yards, and had led the FBS with forty three

129
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: touchdowns his last year. Saying, I'm saying I really like

130
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: Kyle Trash because a he sat in a room and

131
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: I know we all loved Tom Brady, and this is

132
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: why it's so hard to break up with him. Kay,

133
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: he sat in a room with Tom Brady for an

134
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: entire year. They love the growth in the knowledge that

135
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: he gained in that system. We know all of the

136
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: quarterback friendly coaches on that staff he spent a year with,

137
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: from Tom Moore to Clyde Christensen to Byron Leftwich to

138
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians. They liked the growth, and long before these

139
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: guys spoke, I was told that they like Kyle Trask

140
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: much more than these quarterbacks in this draft. So draft

141
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: is out of the question. And you heard BA mentioned

142
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: the trade. I think you also look at he might

143
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: be the best option to keep the team together all

144
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: of these free agents, Carlton Davis, Ryan Jensen, maybe the

145
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: best center in football. You lost Ali Marpett to retirement.

146
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: You might have to bring Alex kaperback. You still have

147
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: a backfield of full of question marks. You might be

148
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: able to sign some of these guys if you go

149
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: with the salary at the quarterback passion that your draft,

150
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: which helps them as an overall team. He's on the

151
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: best quarterback. Now you're making some sense to me. You

152
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: should have started with the business part. But yeah, as

153
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: you were talking about this, Yeah, Kyle Trash, I'm sitting

154
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: there like James and what is going on? Are you

155
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: really saying? What are you saying about? Kyle Trash? I mean, look,

156
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: to me, the best case scenario for the Buccaneers is

157
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: if Tom Brady decides to come back. I mean, really,

158
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: I think they should beg Tom Brady to come back.

159
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: He had his best season, almost his best season as

160
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: a pro. And that's hard to say any playing in

161
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty three years through FO five thousand yards,

162
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: forty three touchdowns, only five or six interceptions. He was

163
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: awesome and they encounter some injuries across the offensive line,

164
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: you know, Ryan just at Alice Cappa, all of those guys,

165
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: and he was still able to uplift everybody around him. Yes,

166
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: I do think the roster is better now than it

167
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: was before Tom Brady got there. But it's only better

168
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: because of Tom Brady. In my opinion, tom Brady brought

169
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: out the best in all of the guys around them.

170
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: And to your point, James, I do think the salary

171
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: of Kyle Trash will make it easier to sign every

172
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: everybody else on that team. But who's the unquestioned leader

173
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: of that team? See when when Brady was there, you

174
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: had guys like Sue Levante, David, those guys kind of say,

175
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: you know what, tom Brady's here, let me go ahead

176
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: and play my role. Let me go ahead and get

177
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: in my my role on this team the way it's

178
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: supposed to be. Now, without Tom Brady there, where's the leadership,

179
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: especially offensively? I know you have Mike Evans and all

180
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: those guys, but where's the general role and you need

181
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: a guy like that, you know, at the quarterback position.

182
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: I think the Bucks are gonna be in trouble. If

183
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: they gotta go with Kyle Trash, maybe bring in some

184
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: type of a you know, a veteran that doesn't cost

185
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: as much. You hear BA talking about Blake Gabbett, which, oh,

186
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna get started on that, but um, but

187
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: the veteran's gonna cost more than we're talking about realistic

188
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: options we're talking about. Yeah, Sky back to the same team. Yes,

189
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: that's what is happening. Um, okay, so let's just let's

190
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: break this down before we throw it to Striggs. You're saying,

191
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: no draft, that's not an option. I think Brady coming

192
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: back probably not an option. A veteran stop gap sounds cute,

193
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: sounds nice, but I think it'll sort of take away

194
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: their ability to bring back guys. Kyle Trask is your

195
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: best option available? I think I really did. I don't

196
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: like I don't love it, but we're talking financially. With

197
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: the younger quarterback, you have then the ability to have

198
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: your Godwin. You're Mike Evans who you too are mentioned

199
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin? Yeah for next and you you know you

200
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: tell me, tell me that with all those skill positions

201
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: and all those people that they can bring back, that

202
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: they can't contend in that division. They would they would

203
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: be able to contend. But at the end of the day,

204
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: I mean just think about it, like this offense was

205
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: just starting to evolve to the next level of having

206
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, you know again on this team and starting

207
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: to involve to the next level. Now you're gonna have

208
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback. There's calls that Barbara Leffis just can't make. Yeah,

209
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: he knows the play, but there's gonna be calls he

210
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: can't make. This offense is going to be hamstrung to

211
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: a degree because of the quarterback, because the quarterback doesn't

212
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: have the institutional knowledge of the silver lining though of

213
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: Brady going away at Allen mar Pet retiring as they

214
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: do have the cap room to bring back some of

215
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: those other guys and it's a division I think they

216
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: can actually run away with strays. What do you make

217
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: of all of this? I think that the approach to

218
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: this is every day Jason Light should be texting Tom

219
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: Brady and being like, dude, we miss you, we love you. Well,

220
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: that is, they've got to put every bit of their

221
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: energy into getting Brady back, because this team right now

222
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: is built to be around Brady. Kyle Trask might be

223
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: fine down the road, but they're not winning a super

224
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: Bowl with Kyle Trask. And what's the point If you're

225
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: not winning a super Bowl and you've got a veteran

226
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: locker room, it's not just Tom Brady, who's who's there.

227
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: It's you're talking about Mike Evans, a veteran. You're talking

228
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: about LeVay David of veteran talking about veteran players. Not

229
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: this team in a rebuild mode. So there are those

230
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: second tier free agents that are possible at quarterback that

231
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: might be able to win the division. But are you

232
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 1: winning a super Bowl with Teddy Bridgewater next year? I

233
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: don't know. Are you winning a super Bowl with Blaine

234
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: Gabbert next year? I don't know. What was interesting? And

235
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: James sort of hit on it. Arians was like surly

236
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: a little bit about things like we would never trade them,

237
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: we would never let them, we would never get him

238
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: out of the division, we would never train and they said,

239
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, why do you think Brady keeps talking about

240
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,599
Speaker 1: Because players sometimes like to hear their names out in

241
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: the media like Arians. Yesterday was on one and I thought,

242
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: I think, to a piece of this, it's like, all right,

243
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: we need to sit down Jason and Bruce and be like,

244
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 1: if Brady's ever gonna come back here, we need to

245
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: make a concerted effort to put our arms down and

246
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: just say, hey, Tom, not only is the light on,

247
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: the red carpet has rolled out, and we were coming

248
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: back from twenty four points and almost beat the Rams,

249
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: and who knows if we don't lose that game, if

250
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: we win it all again, maybe we run it back

251
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: for just one more time. I think you gotta put

252
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: all your eggs in Brady's basket and then deal with

253
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: all right, we'll figure out our quarterback spot. But because

254
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: I don't think they're going out for a big name

255
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: like Russell Wison, Aaron Rodgers at this jet, at this

256
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: point in the junction. Now that that was certainly Hams

257
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: treat them and make it interesting. We'll see maybe they

258
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: should be talking in a texting Giselle too. Yeah, and

259
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: everybody it seems to be feels like a really bad

260
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: breakup was saying this is like you lost, But also

261
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: Brady comes to town, changes the face of your franchise,

262
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: wins you a Super Bowl, and that he asks for

263
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: a trade, and you're going to say no, I don't

264
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: know if I believe that, I wouldn't let him go

265
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: where I understand what they're doing and saying. But if

266
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: Tom Brady comes, I really like the situation here. I

267
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: don't know that they're out of respect for the greatest

268
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: quarterback of all time, who won you bring in your

269
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: one year there that you're gonna prevent that? I think

270
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: that would be messy. Still a business, I hear, no,

271
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: it's still a business. But kay, there's a lot to

272
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: that because Bruce arians is talking tough. But if Tom says, hey, guys,

273
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: my dream is to play in San Francisco or wherever.

274
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: It's where I grew up, Like, do me a solid.

275
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: You know you guys didn't go to the playoffs for

276
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: nine years. We went to the playoffs twice and won

277
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl? Can can you do me solid as

278
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: Tom Brady as I did you a solid? Are they

279
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: really going to have the stones to look at him

280
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: and say no? I don't know. We'll see the twenty

281
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: twenty one season is over before we move on to

282
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: the off season, aren't we in the off season, Let's

283
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: take a look back in some areas where I don't

284
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: know where a team's performed well, last year it's called

285
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one or report cards, Division by division. We

286
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: hit the AFC North. You guys hit the AFC West

287
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: in the beginning of the week, and now we're looking

288
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: at the AFC. So James, start us off with the Patriots.

289
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: All right, We're going to start off with the Patriots here, kay,

290
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: And I'm going to tell you that after going seven

291
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: and nine, Bill Belichick and Willie Robert Craft has never

292
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: had backed back losing seasons, how do you prevent that?

293
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: Where you go ten and seven and what you do

294
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: is you get an a in business, I'm talking about

295
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: taking to the streets, wall streets, Gordon Gecko, Jordan Belfer.

296
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: That's what Bill Belichick went and did. He was making

297
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: deals all over the place in a time where everybody

298
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: was wondering what they were going to do in free agency.

299
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: The cap is shrunk because of a pandemic. What is happening?

300
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: Bill Belich check went out and he spent, and he

301
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: went out and found names. He got Hunter Henry and

302
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: you go and look at Matthew Judon and Jalen Mills

303
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: and Nelson Aglar and Kyle Van Noy comes back in

304
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: John U. Smith and the list goes on and on

305
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: about what they did. They make a move for Trump

306
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: Brown and then he goes out and he's making those

307
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: backdoor deals. He goes down to Tuscaloosa the Mac Jones

308
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: pro day, where I was at as well, and I

309
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: guess catch out of the court of my eye because

310
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: it usually happens every Alabama pro day. Bill Belichick and

311
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: Nick Saban sneak off into Nick Saban's office, pretty much

312
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: the two of them, and that's where the truth is

313
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: told from Saban to Bill Belichick about his prospects. Very

314
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: interesting enough that he goes and get Mac Jones, the

315
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: highest offensive player draft met in the history of Bill

316
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: Belichick as the head coach in New England at fifteenth

317
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: overall he always gets, also gets Christian Barrymore out of

318
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: Alabama and Mike So there was a very interesting discussion

319
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: down there that probably happened that said Max should probably

320
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: be your guy. And what happens mid December they were

321
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: the number one seed in the AFC. I felt part

322
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: a little bit the end. So I'm gonna talk about

323
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: this like a coach fan, say, mid December is the

324
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: own pretty good? After those business decisions, a in business

325
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the team that's dominated this division.

326
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: Open the last couple. Here he goes, stand, baby, you

327
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: know I got to show my Bills my fields. Some love.

328
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: Bills did a lot of great things this season, But

329
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: one of the classes i'd give them an A N

330
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: would definitely be agriculture because they have some home grown talent,

331
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: like that big strong arm quarterback who I think is

332
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: the top arm talent in the National Dare you go

333
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: there't you go? Johsh Sallt doing that? People didn't think

334
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: that he was gonna be this good in the National

335
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: Football League. But guess what the Bills did. You also

336
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: have Gabriel Davis, Dawson Knox. Let me talk about some

337
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: other people, should Davis White, home Grown Tremaine Edmunds, ed Oliver,

338
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: Gregory Roussoul, all of this home grown talent that they've developed.

339
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: So they drafted well and then you know, embodied in

340
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's contract, they paid their homegrown talent as well.

341
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: So my Buffalo Bills they get an A and agriculture

342
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: k Man Bill's stand all the way up. No Candlop

343
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: reference with agriculture and Josh Allen and all that. I'm

344
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: loving it. I honestly want them to win a super Bowl,

345
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: so bad for you. Exclusively, I want to talk about

346
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: the Jets not the best season, but it wasn't for

347
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: lack of creativity. They were very Fairs Buellery, lots of tricks,

348
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: lots of things in their pockets. So I'm going to

349
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: give them an a in design. Let me show you

350
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's all take a journey down, trick play.

351
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: Let's go to week eight and kick it here. The

352
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: Mike White game. Jets just scored to take a one

353
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: point lead over the Bengals. They decide to go for two. Crudder,

354
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Mike White gets the snappy, hands it to Leisah,

355
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: Elijah More, Jameson Crowder. It's incredible. Would you guys think

356
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: of this silly special styles it is? I mean, they'll

357
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: get a statue outside the stadium. Nobody else got one

358
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: for that, all right? Week nine, Thursday, Napperball, it was

359
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: against your caults. James Palmer, Yah, shield your eyes. Josh

360
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: Johnson gets the snappy, fines A Rounder sends it back.

361
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: Michael Carter. Nice first down there. I met Michael Carter

362
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl. Thought he was incredible. Cannot wait

363
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: to see him do his thing again this year. He

364
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: was hilarious. Okay, Week fifteen against the Dolphins. I don't

365
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: remember this. Second quarter. Zack Wilson takes the snap, Braxton Barrios,

366
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: what does he do? We tuses it back to Wilson.

367
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: Make sure what does he do as the pressure? Okay?

368
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: Who does he find? Ryan Griffin? This is a good design, right, Emma,

369
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: it was a good design. I can make it work

370
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: them hot Blue, put it together and turn it in

371
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: before that deadline. All right, same game a few minutes later,

372
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: Let's go to Wilson takes the snap. What does he do?

373
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean, crowd is so good at Rob Marty. I'm

374
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: trying to find a for your effort and trying to

375
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: say all these glowing things about a team that wasn't

376
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: great last year. So good job. Really appreciate that. Let's

377
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: talk to Peter Schrager. You can't knock the Jets creativity.

378
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: Which team is left? My friend? I'm gonna take the

379
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins k and I'm gonna give them an a

380
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: in geography and geography not because of where Miami is.

381
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,479
Speaker 1: It's a lovely place in South Florida, but for being

382
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: able to locate Jail and Waddle all over the field.

383
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: This team's offense wasn't exactly gonna blay over when it

384
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: comes to XS and o's, but Jayleen Waddle broke the

385
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: rookie record for receptions in a season. An Kwon Bolden

386
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: had the record for many years, and Jayalen Waddle had

387
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: one hundred and four catches in an offense. Quite frankly,

388
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: that was not a lighted up offense. It was basically

389
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: to a fine jail and Waddle and then that's our offense.

390
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: That's what it was last year. All due respect to

391
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: Giseki and some of the other guys who made plays,

392
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: this was the Jail and Waddle offense in twenty twenty one.

393
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: The question and the challenge is going to be for

394
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, and Mike McDaniel, the new head coach,

395
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 1: will be most likely drawing up the offense as well.

396
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: Him and Frank Smith, who comes over from the Chargers. Hey,

397
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: how do we get more out of Waddle and how

398
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: else can we use him? I just thought Jalen Waddle,

399
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: who was a top ten pick, not only hit expectations,

400
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: he exceeded them. And I think two and him are

401
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: all going to be better in year number two of

402
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: Waddle's career, so geography. No matter where he was on

403
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: the field, they found a way to get him the rock,

404
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: and that usually was their best option on offense. Jalen

405
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: Waddle can't wait for a year two. It's well said,

406
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: Peter Schreger. John Lynch joining you in a little bit.

407
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: He is, he is, We have lots to talk about. Credible.

408
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Good Morning Football here in Indianapolis. This

409
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 1: gentleman needs no real introduction. He is the general manager

410
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: of the San Francisco forty nine ers. He is a

411
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Famer, and he is a dear

412
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: friend of Good Morning Football. John Lynch, Welcome to the show. Peter.

413
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: It's great to be with you, man, it is. It

414
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: is interesting offseason for the forty nine ers. Let's just

415
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: get right into it. There's a report, yes from our

416
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: ian Rappaport, that Jimmy ge needs some work on his

417
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: should might not be able to throw for another sixteen weeks.

418
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how that affects your look at the roster,

419
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: how your treatment of Jimmy g and maybe potentially his

420
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: trade value. But what was your reaction when you that,

421
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: And did you know that already going into this offseason. No,

422
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: we didn't know it. I don't think Jimmy knew it.

423
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: You know, I think he's made a decision here in

424
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 1: the last couple of days. You know, he had an

425
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: injury in that Dallas game. You know, he was dealing

426
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: with a couple of things, his thumb, you know which,

427
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 1: my goodness, my admiration, the evulsion fracture, Chris Paul. He's

428
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: gone for six day weeks and Jimmy, what he did

429
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: throwing a football and leading us through this playoff run

430
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: was just tremendous and did it with a couple of injuries.

431
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: The shoulder. You know, I never liked saying minor when

432
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: someone's having surgery, But it's a capsule issue in the

433
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: back of his shoulder that you can try to rehab.

434
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: But if it doesn't get well with the rehab, then

435
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: you go to the alternative route, and that's what they've

436
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: decided to do. So it's gonna take some time, but

437
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna be fine. And we're so fond of Jimmy,

438
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: and that situation's active, it's fluid. You know, you're here

439
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: a lot of teams have interest in him. You know,

440
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: it's pretty obvious. You know, we put a lot into

441
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: Trey Lance, and we're loving the development of Trey. You know,

442
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: Trey had an outstanding first year and a lot of

443
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: people say, how can you say that? You know, he

444
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: barely played, but the development was tremendous. I think Kyle

445
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: did a great job of finding ways to develop without

446
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: playing a ton of football, you know, on Sundays, And

447
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: you know, I think the fact that he got some

448
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: action and got to go get a taste of it

449
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: was great. And I loved watching him get better in

450
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: those games. And those are games against the Cardinals, the Texans,

451
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: but he did see the field, yeah, and you saw

452
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: positives from that absolutely. You know, I tell people he's

453
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: everything we thought he was when we traded a lot

454
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: to go get him and more. You know, I really

455
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: believe that. And so there's a ton of excitement. Of course,

456
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: there's some unknown there always is in this game, but

457
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: Trey has made of the right stuff, both talent wise

458
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: and in his spirit. Who he is the intangibles. Guys

459
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: like playing for him, guys like being around him, and

460
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: we're certainly excited to see what he can do. I'm

461
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: reluctant to compare him to any other players, but I

462
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: remember when Alex Smith was a quarterback in Kansas City.

463
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 1: I would hear from guys the Chiefs being like Alex amazing,

464
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: but holy cow Mahomes and doing things in practice. You know,

465
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: we talk and I talked to I wasn't hearing that

466
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: from Tray Lance. And then not every team's different, did

467
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: you see things? Glimpse says. We were like, there is

468
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: some special stuff to Trey Lance that we didn't see

469
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: watching those games. Yeah, you know some of that video

470
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: somehow got he got out there on the end of it.

471
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he definitely had his wow moments, and you

472
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: know that you could see the development the confidence. You know,

473
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,479
Speaker 1: you know, you're on scout teams oftentimes you're asked, Hey,

474
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: go ahead, throw this ball in there. But then he

475
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: would and it actually still get in there. You know,

476
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: I think he attacked it the right way. You know,

477
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: I keep talk talking about his mental capabilities. He can

478
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: handle a lot. I think he's just got that makeup

479
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: that the great ones do. We can only hope he

480
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: can be that's the Patrick Mahomes or anything close to that.

481
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: You know, he's going to get his chance to go

482
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: show that the emotional intelligence is there too. On the

483
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: way out, you know, the last game, and he said that,

484
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: you know, Jimmy Garoppolo is one of his best friends.

485
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: I thought that was an incredible press conference that Trey

486
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: gave their relationship. Did Jimmy groom Trey for this next? Like?

487
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: What was that like this year? Watching? Yeah? Far, you know,

488
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: and use the word a ration earlier for his toughness

489
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: on the field but also his class off the field. Jimmy,

490
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you know, I think things were made better

491
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: because we had open communication throughout the whole time, and

492
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: we were very upfront with Jimmy with what we were

493
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,719
Speaker 1: doing and why we were doing it. But I think

494
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: it just speaks to the person. Jimmy is how he

495
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: was raised, probably Midwest values. He accepted Tray and he said,

496
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: hey man, let's go attack this thing. We're trying to

497
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: win a super Bowl, and you know, to not just

498
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: be okay with the guy being in a room, but

499
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: actually helping the kid at times and taking pride in

500
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: trades development as well. And look, we're all competing for

501
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: your job at this level. But Jimmy did it with

502
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of class and we'll forever be grateful

503
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: for that. It was such a cool run, and I

504
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: know it didn't end the way you guys wanted, and

505
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: we can go over to that game whatever, but like,

506
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: take us to your seat in Lambeau and Packers fans,

507
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: you can turn it off at this point, take us

508
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: a year seat in Lambeau. That victory and how the

509
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: team came together and just hung in there, hung in there,

510
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: hung in there, and then found a way and what

511
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: you saw from the core group that's in that building

512
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, you know I said this at the

513
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: end of the year. I think a couple of things

514
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: can be true. That we fell short of where we

515
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: wanted to be, which was winning a championship, and the

516
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: Rams took it. They did a tremendous job, and so

517
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: you give them credit. But you know, I'm watching these

518
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: clips at Green Bay. I can't tell you how proud

519
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: I am of our guys. We were three and five

520
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: at one point of this season and things were not

521
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: looking good and instead of pointing fingers or in fight

522
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: and everyone rallied together. I think Kyle did a tremendous

523
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: job of leading our group. We started playing the football

524
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: we were capable of and it took us all the

525
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: way to the championship game. And you know, unfortunately, we're

526
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: gonna have to live with that for a lifetime of

527
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: one that got away, because you know, we were up

528
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: seventeen seven, and I think we're built to close, so

529
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: that one sticks with you. And that's why you pay

530
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 1: really good attention when you're here listening to these kids

531
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: at the combine, because you're trying to add to what

532
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: we have, which is already a really strong group. And

533
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: so I think our future is bright both here in

534
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: the near future, and I think we have a team

535
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: that is set up for sustainable success as well. So

536
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: I like where we're at. We got to find a

537
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: way to get better in a little bit. Mike McDaniel's

538
00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: going to get to the podium speaking as a head

539
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: coach of the Miami Dolphins. You guys lost several coaches

540
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: off the coaching staff. I know a lot of times

541
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: we look at the roster and which players are free agents,

542
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: but gosh, there's a lot of turnover with your coaching

543
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: staff too. How are you and Kyle handling that and

544
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: filling those roles? Yeah, and you know, Kyle's had a

545
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: unique deal and then a lot of these guys have

546
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: been with him for a long long time. I mean

547
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: going way back to Washington or Houston even you know,

548
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: with some of these guys. So you know, that's something

549
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: you have to be prepared for. You always have succession plans,

550
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: you know. The only challenge with Kyle, he's not much

551
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: of a networker. Kyle focuses on his job. But a

552
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: lot of people want to coach for Kyle Shanahan, and

553
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: so we'll fill him. We're grateful to the coaches we've

554
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: been here. We're so excited for Mike McDaniel and the

555
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: guys that went with him. But we're excited about that,

556
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, to be able to add an Anthony Lynn

557
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: and his experience guys. So it's awesome. We'll be all right,

558
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: and we're putting together a great staff and we'll come

559
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: back with a vengeance, ready to do this thing. Not

560
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: to give you a schedule or anything, but as far

561
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: as the next few days, do you expect activity at

562
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: the quarterback position or do you think this is one

563
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: of those that we're going to be talking about this

564
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: for a couple more weeks. Yeah, I don't know about

565
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: activity in terms of things actually happening, but certainly there

566
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: has been discussion and I'm sure they'll continue to be.

567
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: We'll always listen to things. You know, we've got a

568
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: great situation there at the quarterback position in terms of

569
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: our depth right now. But when you make that big

570
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: of an investment in someone, you tend to want to

571
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: use them, and so I think that's where we're at.

572
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: You know, very grateful for everything that Jimmy's brought and

573
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: if he's back with us, let's go at it again. Yeah.

574
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate your candor. This is you know, I know

575
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: there's a lot of coaches and gms would come out

576
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: here and do coach speaking and gmspeak. You're open and

577
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: honest and I always appreciate it about truth. Shell set

578
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: you free right as he says that with the Ashman,

579
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate your faith. Yeah, let's go. John Lynch, thanks

580
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: so much from behalf of all of us, and enjoy

581
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: of doing this with all the media guys. Thanks Trick. Yeah,

582
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: well I'm will saliva. Good morning football roles run along

583
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: on this Wednesday morning, and since we're talking combine this week,

584
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, remember back in twenty sixteen, had received a

585
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: grade of five point nine. Is he was projected to

586
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: be an average backup. Well, he certainly has exceeded those

587
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: expectations as a fourth round pick for the Cowboys, head

588
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: coach Mike McCarthy saying Prescott had a cleanup surgery on

589
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: his non throwing shoulder and is rehabbing it, but added

590
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: they have no concern at all about Dak's health. That's

591
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: what I was trying to say, all right. Kyler Murray's

592
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: future in Arizona in question lately, especially after his agent

593
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: sent out a lengthy statement last Friday. I'm still reading

594
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: through it. As a matter of fact, the Cardinals will

595
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: have a decision to make whether to pick up Murray's

596
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: fifth year option or sign him to a long term deal.

597
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: In coach Cliff Kingsbury saying Tuesday, he wants his QB back.

598
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: I think all of our long term goal here is

599
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: to have Kyler be our quarterback. And he understands that,

600
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: and he understands my view of him and how I

601
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: feel about him. And once again I'm gonna refer it

602
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: back to the business side of things, and that's not

603
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: something that I deal with. But it's all part of

604
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: the business right now and things that will continue to

605
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: work through now. When GM Steve Kim was asked about

606
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: that one page statement sent on behalf of Kyler Murray,

607
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: he said, quote, I think it's an agent doing his job.

608
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: But Kim did add that he has not spoken to

609
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: Murray's camp in a few days, but there has always

610
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: been current dialogue. I love your everybody has different definitions occurring.

611
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: Woll's face is saying a lot of whatever that is.

612
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like they're any closer to any kind

613
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: of deal. After that, I don't feel a lot better.

614
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Cardinals want to get the deal done.

615
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: I think they need some things to happen here. James,

616
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: what do you think. I'll start with the facts first.

617
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: That came out of yesterday with both Cliff Kingsbury and

618
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: General Manager Steve Kim both speaking one It was a

619
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: firm statement from Steve Kim saying he doesn't think there'll

620
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: be any repercussions if they don't sign Kyler Murray to

621
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: a long term deal. He also said, I don't think

622
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: he will hold out if we don't sign him to

623
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: a long term deal. It was in the beginning of

624
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: this week, m Rob that we were saying statements out

625
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: balls in your court Cardinals. Yeah. To me, that's like, hey,

626
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: ball's back in your court, Kyler, because we don't think

627
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: you're going to hold out Shulney. And that's an interesting

628
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: aspect of it. And then Cliff Kingsbury further in his

629
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: press conference said that they're in a great place. Him

630
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray they talk often, but also he has

631
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: not spoken to him since the statement came out. That

632
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: doesn't ring no. I know, if I speak to somebody

633
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: very very often, and I have a great relationship with him,

634
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: if something of this magnitude comes out, I'm probably calling

635
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: them immediately. Ya. Wow, a hell of a statement there.

636
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: I want to talk about it. That part's kind of

637
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: interesting to me. The other part that I think we

638
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: need to make sure we follow and they follow in

639
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: Arizona is that things do not get personal, and I

640
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: think Steve Kim addressing that publicly hopefully keeps it in

641
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: that manner. M Rod. Because remember he dealt with DeAndre Hopkins,

642
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: who was his own representation, and there was a firm

643
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: stance in that negotiation to make sure that things didn't

644
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: get personal between d Hoop and Steve Kim in that negotiation,

645
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: and he used that as a direct example. So I

646
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: think he is following suit saying that is an agent's

647
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: job to go out and do that. Let's try to

648
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,479
Speaker 1: negotiate this. But I think we're all steering towards They

649
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: all think he's their long term quarterback. Yeah, and he

650
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: has the physical gifts and the tools to be the

651
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: long term quarterback. But I think Steve kyme in the

652
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: Arizona Brass they were watching our show. They're trying to

653
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: bluff him out, stall him out, de bo. Like I

654
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: said before, call his bluff. You're gonna sit out. Okay,

655
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: let's see it. We're not paying you this year. And

656
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, Kyler, I need to

657
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: see more out of you. You need to be more.

658
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: Your body language needs to be better when things are

659
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: going wrong in a game. At the end of the day,

660
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: you want to be the franchise quarterback. Be better. Okay,

661
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: you're talking about your play on the field again. I

662
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: say it again, great player, But playing the quarterback position,

663
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: it's part public relations. You have to be able to

664
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: hang out with everybody, and you have to be able

665
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: to elevate guys around you. I just don't necessarily see

666
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: that Arizona needs to see a sign, as do I

667
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: as to Cardinal fans that he gets it, that he

668
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: gets that there's work to be done, because this is

669
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: you're not going to get broken off like a Josh

670
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: Allen or a Patrick Mahomes. And you have not taken

671
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: your team there when your leadership is being called into question.

672
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: I know, whether that's personal or not. There has to

673
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: be some sort of egg knowledgement in my head from

674
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: Kyler saying I have some work to do, and what

675
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: about I floundered down the stretch the past two seasons?

676
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: What have all betting on yourself? Man? Like, Okay, they

677
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: ain't gonna pay you right now, du to Kirk Cousins thing, Okay,

678
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna be very expensive going forward. Kind of

679
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: go off script here. I think our next guest is

680
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: truly one of the most beloved players in the National

681
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,720

Speaker 1: you're dreaming about that confetti at so far in your backyard.

691
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: And you've had such an incredible career with the longest

692
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: NFL careers, and it wasn't until a few weeks ago

693
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: that you added that Super Bowl champion to the front

694
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: of your introductions on various talk shows. So how does

695
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: it feel a little bit removed from that big win.

696
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: It's amazing. I think every day you kind of sit

697
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,479
Speaker 1: back and think of everything that went into it, the season,

698
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: this year, and then obviously in my career, just all

699
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: the years of just signing up for one more year

700
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: and saying I'm going to chase it one more time,

701
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: and to be there and to get that moment and

702
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: enjoy it has been something so special to me and

703
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: my family and all the people have been a part

704
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: of my journey to this point. Well wait, I can't lie, man,

705
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: It was special to see you finally get the horsted

706
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: up that Lombardi Trophy Man. You also took home the

707
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: coveted Walter Peyton Man of the Year Award and NFL Honors.

708
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: Just talk to us about how much that award meant

709
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: to you. To receive that honor. Yeah, it's unbelievable. You

710
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: stand up there on the stage with you know, a

711
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: lot of other men that have done some amazing things

712
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: for this league, and I looked at those other thirty

713
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: one nominees and it's just so humbling to stand up

714
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: there and realize how special that moment is and how

715
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: many awesome things our athletes are doing. You look across

716
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: the NFL, it's really cool to realize where our league is,

717
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: where our game is, just with the guys representing on

718
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: and off the football field, the things we do for

719
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: our community. And then look at the people who've won

720
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: it in the past and what they've been able to do.

721
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: It's just something that makes you feel really special because

722
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: you realize that we really do play a special game

723
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: and have some really special people that are playing in it.

724
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,239
Speaker 1: And it was an honor and something that I'll never

725
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: forget that moment to have that opportunity to stand in

726
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: front of my peers and really just talk a little

727
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: bouit about what drives me and really what makes the

728
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: award important to me. I want to talk about the

729
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: parade because they always ask players like, what's the best

730
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: part of the experiences at the game? The confetti, all

731
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: of that, and a lot of them do say. It's

732
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: getting on those buses, a couple of sleepless nights, removed

733
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: and feeling like a superhero going through the streets of

734
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: the town or the city that you plan. You had

735
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: an interesting and choice by the way, you had that

736
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: the picture. I think somebody threw you a T shirt

737
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup in high school. You put it on. It

738
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: was awesome and it said super Bowl MVP. Take me

739
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: to the parade and give me the highlights and maybe

740
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: your favorite moment that you'll take away from you from

741
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: what an epic depp. I think really just having the

742
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: opportunity to be on top of that bus and look

743
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: down over the crowds and how special it was to

744
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: really just the city and to everyone there. Just that

745
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: energy and that appreciation was just unbelievable. And then to

746
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: look really at your teammates faces. I mean I kind

747
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: of spend a little time just looking around the bus

748
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: and watching an ad or Robert Woods or Matthew Stafford

749
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: and Coop and even Coach McVeigh just looking out over

750
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 1: the crowd and really just what a moment that is

751
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: and what an opportunity it is to reflect really in

752
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: that time of your season and what you've put in

753
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: to be where you're standing and just really relish. Wow,

754
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: just to go out on top and to go out victorious.

755
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 1: I think it's something that you just you think about

756
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: and you hope that you'd know what that feelings like

757
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: one day, but to actually experience it has been believable.

758
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: Great job from you. But you mentioned you talked about

759
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 1: the parade, you talked about Aaron Donald. Dude, he was shirtless.

760
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: I've never seen Aaron Donald like that before. Having a

761
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: great time just talk to us about like, what was

762
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 1: your thoughts about Aaron Donald kind of letting it loose

763
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: as a world chap. You know, he was actually my

764
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: pick for the first player to go shirtless, So you know,

765
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: I think that he is one of those guys that

766
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: does nothing but grind and work, and for him to

767
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: have that moment, he was one of the people. To me,

768
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: it was almost like I had a hard time not

769
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: just watching him, because it was like all the work

770
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: this guy puts in and everything he's done to put

771
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: us on the map year and year out as a

772
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: great football team. To watch him have that moment and

773
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,040

774
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:47,840
