Speaker 1: is here, Michael Robinson as well. Should we get right

15
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: to guys? Two sleeps away? All right, let's do it

16
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: lead luck sleeps until this Thursday night. Actually the Cowboys

17
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers kicking it off. Yeah. For the latest on

18
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: the defending champs, I'll send it down to our very

19
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: own Sarah Walsh. Sheet is in Tampa. Hey, Sarah, Thanks

20
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: kay The Buccaneers practice indoors on Monday and spent time

21
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: at the end of practice simulating crowd noise. They're gonna

22
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: have a full capacity Raymond James Stadium on Thursday night,

23
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: something that these players have not seen in a very

24
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: long time. In other good news, and Dominican Sue came

25
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: off the COVID list. He will be ready to go

26
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. And the lone question mark for this

27
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: Buccaneers team when it comes to their starters would be

28
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: safety Jordan Whitehead. He's been missing most of this preseason

29
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: dealing with a hamstring injury and has not been able

30
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: to practice. Mike Edwards would get the start in his place. Overall,

31
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: this Bucks team has been incredibly healthy this preseason, and

32
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: several players, including JPP, Mike Evans, Tom Brady, have said

33
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: they're feeling better than they have in a long time.

34
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: JPP told us on Monday, expect to see the JPP

35
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: of twenty ten. Tom Brady will address the media today

36
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: ahead of his twenty second NFL season later this afternoon. Okay,

37
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: I know it's twenty two years and it still sounds

38
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: crazy every time anybody says a twenty second year for

39
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Thank you so much, Sarah. You'll be covering

40
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: that team leading up to that game. Of course, keep

41
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: it right here on NFL that work. Brady is scheduled

42
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: to speak with the media later today now, Sarah as

43
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: well heard mentioned the full crowd Raymond James Stadium that'll

44
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 1: happen on Thursday. Ant the fans certainly playing a role

45
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: in this one. Let's take it on the field, Boat,

46
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: what's going to be the biggest X factor in Cowboys v.

47
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: Buccaneers football? Character? Football is here. I can't wait anybody

48
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: more excited. It's it's probably Tom Brady. I'm to play ball.

49
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: And last year it was this incredible uphill climb to

50
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: start the season. We're dealing with a COVID riddled offseason

51
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: where no one was in person and had to learn

52
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: a whole offense. He had to take his receivers elsewhere

53
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: and then we can learn on the fly. And they

54
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: lose to the Saints, loose to the Rams, lose to

55
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: the Bear and then it clicked midseason. Imagine that team

56
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: without that ramp up period and imagine it being smooth sailing.

57
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: Everybody coming back and facing a team that hasn't even

58
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: played a preseason game as a unit together, I think

59
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a one sided ball game. And

60
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying Tuesday, I supposed to hype this game. The

61
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: more I talk about it, I think Brady's coming and

62
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: dialed in. I think that Buccaneers team is ready to go,

63
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: and as Sarah's talking about a full capacity Raymond James

64
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: and They're coming out there, and there's gonna be live

65
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: entertainment beforehand. This is the way a champion rolls out.

66
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: Guess what they bring everyone back? And I don't think

67
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be Brady. Take a look at what

68
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: that offensive line from Dallas, which is without Zach Martin,

69
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: is going up. Look at these names. This is the

70
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: Bucks defensive front seven and usually you get three or

71
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: four guys. Look at the title of this that Gina

72
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: and I put together. Good luck, Dak, Welcome back, Dak,

73
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: welcome back. They come back, and they come back in waves.

74
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: And Dak Prescott without his best offensive lineman, without having

75
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: Clayton's Week four of last year, without having thrown a

76
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: pass in the preseason. You pick it. What do you want?

77
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: Because the name the second to last name on that

78
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: second column, Joe Tryon Shoyinka is not a familiar name.

79
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: He just dominated a training camp in preason eat their

80
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: first round pick. Man. I think it's a one sided

81
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: ballgame and it starts in the line of scrimmage, and

82
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be this unit just absolutely refic having on

83
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: that Dallas offense. There's a lot of ways we could

84
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: take us. We're gonna distect it a million ways. I

85
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: know the NFL networkcaus I want me to say it's

86
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a blowout. I just don't see a scenario

87
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: where the Bucks don't come out blasting cannons and being

88
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: ready to blast off and their their championship defense. Let's go.

89
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go right now. If there's a game,

90
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: I know Brady is and I know this Bucks team

91
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: is ready to play. Book. That Books defense is loaded,

92
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: is loaded, is lights out. Everybody's coming back. They know

93
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: how to get after the football and know how to

94
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback. We saw that, uh, you know,

95
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. But I'm gonna I'm gonna look

96
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: at Dallas's defense and say the X factors Dan Quinn. Okay, see, guys,

97
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: last year, we got a custom to watching this Dallas

98
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense leave guys wide open out of gaps. You

99
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: see lanes for runners just as big as Matt Trucks

100
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: can run through it. Because these guys were confused. Right,

101
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: there were four three team in personnel and they were

102
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: changing to a three four defense. That doesn't work, especially

103
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: without an offseason. All right, this year they're back to

104
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: a four to three, which fits their personnel and dan

105
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: Quinn's he has to figure out how to get Tom

106
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: Brady off the spot. I'm just not sure that the

107
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys have poor rushers that they can just send

108
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: after Brady and drop seven to make it hard on him.

109
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to pick his spots maybe sometimes on

110
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: second down, on you know, some second and longs and

111
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: things like that to pressure Tom Brady. Because if Tom

112
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: Brady has an ability to just sit back there and

113
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: pick him apart, tom Brady will do that. Tom Brady

114
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: has the patience to take the check down every single time.

115
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: I know that three deep defense doesn't like to give

116
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: up the explosive plays, but if you don't get any

117
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: pressure on, Tom Brady gets to Peter. To your point,

118
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: I don't see how Dallas can win this game unless

119
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: Ezekiel La runs for two hundred yards and he just

120
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: moved people off the baby. And I don't think this

121
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: is gonna be a blowout, And on paper it looks

122
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 1: like it is. The football gods are weird. Strange things happen.

123
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: Season premieres are always kind of wonky games. The energy

124
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: is strange. Things happen week one and Mike, you brought

125
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: me to it. Peter, you said, time to play ball,

126
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: uphill climb. My X factors is Zekiel Elliott and I

127
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: don't even think it's close. Number twenty one. Let me

128
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: tell you ifut Zekel Elliott, he is second in the

129
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: league in salary per year for running backs. It's Christian McCaffrey,

130
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: and then it's Zeke and Kamara tied. Bring up the

131
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: full screen. What do you think this is? This is

132
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: the guy's last year who had twenty plus yard runs.

133
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry had sixteen, led the world, Nick Chubb and

134
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: then three Ravens. If you can squint down to the

135
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: very bottom of the screen, Ezekiel Elliott was tied for

136
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: thirty seconds in twenty plus yard runs. That's not gonna work.

137
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: That's not gonna work with the money he makes, with

138
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: the fames that he makes where he was drafted with

139
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: the ridiculous contract that he made them sign when he

140
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: went to Cabo. Zeke, we gotta have something especially and listen,

141
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: I know Zack Martin is out. I know the Bucks

142
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: front is tough. I don't care. It's time to go

143
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: to work. It's time to time to make the donuts.

144
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: It's time to look at that contract and say, this

145
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: isn't Dak's team for a hot second, I want to

146
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: put the team on my back. Like Zeke, we haven't

147
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: seen that from you in years. That's the Zeke that

148
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: we've seen. It's none of this thing eaten with the spoons,

149
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: none of that, which is why when we watch him

150
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: and hear him that he's down to two hundred and

151
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: eighteen pounds, Bam, he's gonna be fast again. Which is

152
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: why when we see him on hard knocks eating candy,

153
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: we get nervous. All of that stuff. I think Dak

154
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: is going to be Dak. I think he is a

155
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: great player. I think he'll be fine twenty one on

156
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys with no explosive plays. Then it will be

157
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: a blowout. Yeah, then it will be smashed. Zeke, Dude,

158
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: it's not that we want you to play well? Is

159
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: that they need you to play well? Help them? Help you?

160
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: Is Zeke Eli Zeke in Elite backs too in twenty sixteen?

161
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: He was in twenty fifteen Ohio State. If you were

162
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: to rank him right now, where is ze coming in?

163
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: He's not thirteen? Yeah, he's not much twelve. And say,

164
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: get mad. I know you're a jolly guy. It's the thing.

165
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: Is any the happiest jolly? It's so fun. We'll see

166
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: how he's around the second quarter when he has three

167
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: carries for negative four yards. I mean, we got to

168
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: have something, man. I can't prop this guy up in here.

169
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: Everything you guys are saying makes me so scared that

170
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: Zach Martin's not suiting up for this game. But in

171
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: order to have a Zeek Elliott be effective, you need

172
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: Zach Martin. I are to fend off a buccaneer's past

173
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: rush that comes in waves, you need those tackles. And

174
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: you look at them and you don't have Zach Martin there.

175
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: You have Lell Collins, you have Tyron Smith. You would

176
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: hope they would do something. I mean, I haven't seen

177
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: Collins since twenty nineteen. We haven't seen him since an

178
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: he missed all of last year with a hip injury,

179
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: and then just to point out, Tyron Smith played two

180
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: games las year. When he's healthy. We know he's all pro,

181
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: we know who can do, but having those guys not

182
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: play together for so long is really going to affect it.

183
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: And I'm really looking at those guys in these two

184
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: matchup because they're going to have to step up and

185
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: make up for what Zach Martin can do. That is

186
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: really going to miss it be missing because they're the

187
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: ones that are going to have to handle JPP, Shack

188
00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: Barrett and the like. Yeah, yeah, everybody. They're gonna have

189
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: to handle that. We've got so much going on. Scott

190
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: Pioli is joining the program today. Dan Hands is kicking

191
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: off his season with US here with some power rankings,

192
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: but the truth of the matters that were all with

193
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: heavy hearts all throughout the media group this week. We

194
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: recently lost a member of our NFL Network family, Tara Deeker,

195
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: and we continue to honor her memory and her contribution

196
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: to all of our lives, which if you just look

197
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: at Twitter, quickly understand the impact. I didn't know her personally, Peter,

198
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: how will you remember Tara? Yeah? Tara was one of

199
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: these wonderful souls that was just a ray of light.

200
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: And when you would go on remote for the Combine

201
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: or the draft, and when I say on remote, when

202
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: we'd go visit there, she'd be the face. I'd be

203
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: waiting for you and say, hey, take my hand, I

204
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: got you. Let's go. Is where you need to go?

205
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: This we need to be. It was the mayor of

206
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: Indianapolis for those Combine weeks because she was the point

207
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: person always on it. And I remember walking in with

208
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: Chris Rose and Charles Davis so many times to the

209
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: second set at the Combine and Deek would take us

210
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: there and would always give us just a great boost

211
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: of conf and joy. But it was also a chopbuster,

212
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: like all time wise guy and oh, I'd be nervous

213
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: and she'd give you something like this and say hey,

214
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: and like you're one of the Wall Streeters and go

215
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: get it, you know, like something silly. But she loved

216
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: our show. She would often tweeted our show. And it's

217
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: a great, great loss. We've had a lot of tremendous

218
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: losses in the NFL Network family in the last couple

219
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: of years, some really good people. And cancer is a terrible,

220
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: terrible thing, and it took Deac and um, I think

221
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: we're all a lot worse soft for it, but to

222
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: know her was a really amazing experience, and she will

223
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: obviously be a ray of light for all of us

224
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: for forever and this network. It's kicked off week Baby.

225
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: The music devibes are all time high. Thursday night Jack

226
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: in the Dallas Cowboys heading to Tampa to stake on

227
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: Brady the defending champion Buccaneers. We were just two sleeps

228
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: away from Week one. The NFL's biggest season starts on

229
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,360

Speaker 1: the Rector table all show long stop Boli joining us.

231
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: We've got angry runs, We've got fantasy of course, the

232
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: players that I'm riding or crying with all season long,

233
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: probably all right once or twice during the season. Sure

234
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: at Jim, if you with your tweets, this is a

240
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: be excited. Resona well two days of excitement. Adam Phelan

241
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: can't wait for his toys. Lame when Vikings he did

242
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: not watch our Predictions, a segment which none of us

243
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: predicted the Vikings going to the playoffs. But we'll do

244
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: AFC later. FC predictions on the jacket. Who do you

245
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: think when they AFC is these guys are what is it?

246
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: Don't drug test us, don't don't tell us we should

247
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: be fired. Don't tell us you should have our job,

248
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: don't tell ask us what we're smoking. It's how you

249
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: put the Eagles in the playoffs. That's right, let's go.

250
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: You've left the Cowboys out of the playoffs. No stars

251
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: in my all right, let's talk was one of the stars.

252
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: It'll be on the field in week one. It's sound

253
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: really blockade block Let's do it. Welcoming and John but

254
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: Las they are joining us. Tom, Welcome to the program

255
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: and a happy kickoff week to you. The Ravens already

256
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: lost JK. Dobbins for the season. Let's talk about the AFC.

257
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: More bad news for the Baltimore backfield. Well, Kay, the

258
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: Ravens are now searching for options after they lost another

259
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: running back to a season ending injury. This time it

260
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: is one of their backups, Justice Hill, who suffered a

261
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: torn achilles just days after they lost JK. Dobbins to

262
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: that season ending toward acl and Baltimore had some familiar

263
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: names in the building as they look for options at

264
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: that position. They had a workout on Monday. They'd included

265
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: three running backs. Levian Bell was one, Davante Freeman, as

266
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: well as Elijah Holyfield. Bell, of course an interesting one,

267
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: former AFC North nemesis with the Pittsburgh Steelers who has

268
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: had a tumultuous year. He was cut at his request

269
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: by the New York Jets, joined the Kansas City Chiefs,

270
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: was basically a bystandard during their Super Bowl run, ripped

271
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: Andy Reid on the way out the door. Still only

272
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: twenty nine years old, and apparently Bell still does want

273
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: to play. DeVante Freeman Meanwhile, the longtime Atlanta Falcon was

274
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: released by the New Orleans Saints during roster cuts. Right now,

275
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens have only two healthy running backs on the roster,

276
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards and Tyson Williams. In happier news for the Ravens.

277
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: They agreed to terms on a four year, fifty six

278
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: million dollar contract extension with their star tight end, Mark Andrews.

279
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: He is now one of the NFL's highest paid tight ends.

280
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: No tight end in the NFL has more touchdown catches

281
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: over the past season two seasons than Andrews with seventeen,

282
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: and nobody has caught more balls from Lamar Jackson, who

283
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: of courses in line for his own big pay day. Okay,

284
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: top five tight end for my fantasy rankings. Thank you

285
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: so much, Tom Pelliser for the outline. There are some

286
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: bad news, but some good news for those Ravens, and

287
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: will be talking to you throughout the morning here on GMFP.

288
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: You know elsewhere in the AFEC North. What a matchup, guys,

289
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: Week one, the Browns, they'll have their hands full. They

290
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: get to take on the Kansas City Chiefs. We of

291
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: course know how things end in the apes. You know

292
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: in the playoffs last year. The track record between these

293
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: two squads, that don't that be favor Cleveland. You go

294
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: back to twenty twelve for the last time the Browns

295
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: got to win against Casey. It's a long long time

296
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: with almost ten years. Wow. And of course the Chiefs

297
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: knocked the Browns out of the playoffs last year. Sunday,

298
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: they get a rematch. I think this Browns team has

299
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: been stewing. They have been waiting to just get revenge,

300
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: and they get it right out the gates. Why is

301
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: Week one going to potentially be different for the Browns

302
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: this time around? It's simple for me. I've seen some

303
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: development from Baker Mayfield. I think he's going to have

304
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: a bigger jump this year. He has consistency in the

305
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: play caller for the first time in his entire career.

306
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: And what I love about Kevin Stefanski is he sticks

307
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: to the run. You guys hear me say this all

308
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: the time, being ignorant about running the football. Yeah, sometimes

309
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: you gotta be ignorant about running the football. And I

310
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: know we're talking about Baker Mayfield, but Baker Mayfield gives

311
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: some of his most explosive passes passes off play action.

312
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: When they were rocking last year and they had eleven

313
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: wins and things like that, but Baker mayfield completion percentage

314
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: was above sixty because they were moving the line of

315
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: scrimmage and the play action actually was was a viable

316
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: option for them in the passing game. And this year,

317
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: I think with the consistency and play calling, Baker Mayfield's

318
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: gonna have to win two or three games with just

319
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: his Okay, I think he's ready for I do you

320
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: know contracts coming up, all of those things. He's gonna

321
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: get paid. They have their franchise quarterback in Cleveland. This

322
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: year is the year that Baker Mayfield shows everybody we

323
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: can went off just my arm, not just off the

324
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: offensive line and our running backs. He went about two

325
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: and a half months lash year without throw an interception,

326
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: and everyone thinks he's a gun slinger. He's not. He's

327
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: really good. I'll love to say one other thing. This

328
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: is just up top of my head. Here. It's prediction week. Here,

329
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: we're all going around making our playoff predictions. Everything. I

330
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: gotta sent a clip from somebody else on some other show,

331
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: who's don't making this very passionate case about this team

332
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: in the NFC and they're gonna go places, and at

333
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: the end they go, don't be surprised. No, it's not

334
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: don't be surprised week. It's not. You could make a

335
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: case week or arguably, arguably I might take take up

336
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: for the team, or don't if you're ta take them,

337
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: don't say you'd be surprised if there's no half measures.

338
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: That's for the other fifty one weeks there. This week

339
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: you go in, thank you, We'll get into Cleveland maybe

340
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: with AFC picks. However, it's very simple. I don't think

341
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: we've talked about this for years. I don't think you

342
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: can stand up and trade touchdowns with the Chiefs, even

343
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: if it's right. I just think you can, and I

344
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: think teams have tried. We got the firepower. The Ravens

345
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: have it, they never win. I think Miles Garrett is

346
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: going to have the Miles Garrett season. I think it's

347
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: gonna be one of the stories of this year when

348
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: we look back on it. This was the year Miles

349
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: Garrett finally became a superstar. I think that's the only

350
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: way you beat him. Like, I don't believe in blueprints,

351
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: but we had that conversation after the Super Bowl. Every

352
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: everybody did. It's that the blueprint. You gotta hit my homes,

353
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: you gotta chase him. There's no blueprint, but it's like

354
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: they're chasing him. There looks great and he got handy

355
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: in the playoff game. Miles Garrett has played well against

356
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: Kansas City. We know the upgrades they've made on defense,

357
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: but listen, I need this guy to turn into Regie

358
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: White when they play Kansas City. And if they don't,

359
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: if he doesn't, I don't think they can beat him.

360
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs are still that good and still

361
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: that much in their prime. Miles Garrett needs to a

362
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: defensive player of the Year against Kansas City or I

363
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: still think it's the Chiefs. That's it. You know, it's

364
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: like the annual who's gonna go up against Kansa and

365
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: arrow Head to start the season. Last year at this time,

366
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: we were talking about the Houston Texans going in on

367
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: a Thursday night. We're like, they've got the Shawn Watson,

368
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,239
Speaker 1: They've got this great young defense, they've got all these

369
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: great wide receivers, and the Chiefs wax it was a

370
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: bad guy. The Chiefs waxed him. This can't be the Browns.

371
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: The Browns are going into Arrowhead. It's almost a playoff

372
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: game Week one. Like we've had a whole summer of

373
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: hype about the Browns. You cannot get waxed in this game,

374
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: and I don't think they will be. You mentioned Clowney

375
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: and Garrett. I think those are a huge there's such

376
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: an overhaul of defense or a new blood and new talent,

377
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: and some of the lesser known guys are gonna play

378
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: a huge deal. The two rookies I think are both

379
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: gonna make a major impact in Jeremiah Woosu. Caramelaka and

380
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: I both picked him as our defensive rookie the year yesterday.

381
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: Greg Newson was taking even before him. But the guy

382
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: I want to talk about is that last one in

383
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: the second column, John Johnson the Third. John Johnson the

384
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: Third was a captain on the La Rams team that

385
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: had Jalen Ramsey and Aaron Donald on defense. John Johnson

386
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: the Third was basically the center fielder and the signal

387
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: caller for that Rams defense and that defensive backfield that

388
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: Aubrey Pleasant coach so well over the last few years.

389
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: He's not a household name, but I'll tell you when

390
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: they opened so far last year, the Rams had to

391
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: pick a couple ambassadors to show fans and media like

392
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: it was no question, like we're going with John Johnson.

393
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: He's one of our best communicators. He was a free

394
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: agent and Cleveland rushed to sign John Johnson the Third.

395
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: Why because He is your defensive leader in the backfield.

396
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: He sees it all. He is your center fielder. So

397
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: often we go towards the should we going towards the safeties.

398
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: I think this might be the biggest edition for them.

399
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: That guy right there is going to play a huge role,

400
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: especially when things are coming a million miles per hour

401
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: against Kansas City in Kansas City in Arrowhead. Who's going

402
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: to be the calming force, who has been in big

403
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: games and who picked off Drew Brees NFC Championship game

404
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: and ensured that the Rams are going to go to

405
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. It was John Johnson the third and

406
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: that was the one in overtime that he was the

407
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: guy sat Peter and he played in NFC West. He

408
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: understands our pos he understands the quarterback Lamar Jackson. That's

409
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: why they rushed to sign. He's the communicator on the

410
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: back end with all the r pioles and readopts and

411
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: great pickup by Cleveland. We've done the show for so

412
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: many years and Shrigs and I are always sort of

413
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: on the outside of the Browns conversation. Just like they're

414
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: they're building, they're getting it going, they're making it happen,

415
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: and now I find that we you and I are

416
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: like leading the charge here. They're great on the Browns.

417
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: We haven't like he even talked about it so much

418
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: off camera, but I can just tell. And when I

419
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: was with the Chiefs during the preseason, a lot of it,

420
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, because it's preseason. What are we going to

421
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: talk about? Was this week onun matchups. It was a

422
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: lot of for me personally looking back at that playoff game,

423
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: and when I think of that game, I just think

424
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. He torched this team's brown secondary one hundred

425
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: nine yards. They had no answer for him. Enter j Okay.

426
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: This is why it isn't a deep dive when jokam,

427
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: I was so comfortable Shriggs picking him as my defensive

428
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: rookie of there because he's got he's the type. He's

429
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: this ultra athletic guy out of Notre DAMEE. And the

430
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: only time that we saw a team limits what Kelsey

431
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: can do was and we had really athletic guys like

432
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: Devin White, Lavante David keeping him for making him game

433
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: breaking play in the Super Bowl. I'm not saying that's

434
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: allowed to put on a rookie to say Hey, I'm

435
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: not saying you can't tell me that. You can't tell

436
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: me he's not the type the type that can sort

437
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: of help this secondary and reform them to sort of

438
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: stifle a guy like Travis Kelsey. That's a specific matchup.

439
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm looking at week one. Now, you're not into this, No,

440
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by the interest. It's a second round rookie

441
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: promising an athletic player. Yeah, because Peter's on him and

442
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: you're own him. Did you guys meet him or something?

443
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: Taken by his personality? What is the fast Nation? Because

444
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: I just looked at the at the playoff game, and

445
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: I mean Travis Kelson went half the game without Patrick

446
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: Mahomes and still did whenever he wanted to. And I

447
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: just feel like I'm at a point with this Brown's team,

448
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: especially with defensively, where they have they figured it out.

449
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: They there's there's no holes in the defense. They figured out, like,

450
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: how are we going to address this? I think they

451
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: similarly looked and we're like, it's kind of like what

452
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: Green Bay would do with the secondary. They know that

453
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: Kevin King thing happened like a Let's draft of corner.

454
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: It's just the way it works. So to me, he

455
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: just fits the bill of someone who can do it,

456
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: and he is that ultra athletic guy can do it,

457
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: and he's positionless. You can play anywhere. Okay, that's what

458
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: makes himself two hundred and twenty five pounds. He's like

459
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: Patrick Queen or like you mentioned Devin White. We can

460
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: roam all over and he's the next generation of linebacker

461
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: where he looks like a safety, but he could be outside,

462
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: he could be inside, is everywhere, and I think he's

463
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: play a huge role on the team. This is bringing

464
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: back the fullbacks, these little shregs and I are all

465
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: over the right. He has a nice wrinkle that will

466
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: see up against that Chief's offense. Week one in New York,

467
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: September seventh. My name is Kay Adams. Michael Robinson is here,

468
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: Peter Schrieker is there, Kyle Brandt is there. We've got

469
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: lots to talk about. So it's sounds to leave luck

470
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: live black. Let's do it. Jamar Chase taking fifth overall

471
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: by the Bengals, he said, ay less than stellar preseason

472
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: four drops on five targets, not exactly what hear the

473
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: Bengals had hoped for so far. Chase to talk about

474
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: those drops apparently at length yesterday, and what he's looking

475
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: forward to in Week one against the Bike. I know

476
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: I left a lot of stuff out there, but you

477
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: know that's all in time for me to get better.

478
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm not afraid to get better. That's what

479
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: That's what I'm here for, the work and get better,

480
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: make the team better, make the organization better. So it's

481
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: all a part of the plan. I mean, I'm pretty

482
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: excited to go against Patrick Peterson. Um. I've been watching

483
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: him for a long time. Actually, to finally have a

484
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: chance to get a goal up against him as I

485
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: can put Patrick Peterson on my highlight tape. Now, I mean,

486
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: he might be mad I'm saying it, but hey, you

487
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, it's part of the game. I

488
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: love to make play on him. I'm pretty sure he

489
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't be too happy about it. You know, me learning

490
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: some new things about Patrick Peterson how he plays, probably

491
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: just make me better. So I can't wait to do it.

492
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: Not a perfect training camp or preseason, but hey, regular

493
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: season kicks off week one up against the Vikings. Will

494
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: see what he does with Patrick Peterson and company. We're

495
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: looking forward to Week one Bengals, one of the eight

496
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: teams who finished fourth in their division in twenty twenty two.

497
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: Mark Chase obviously looking to change that up for Cincinnati

498
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: has five teams in the last four seasons have done it.

499
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: They've gone from the basement to the pen house suite.

500
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: Just the next year, which team out of those? And

501
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: we can keep putting that screen up. Let's have a

502
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,959
Speaker 1: handy back there in the control room. Who has the

503
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: best shot at going worst to first in twenty twenty

504
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: one KB It's a fun segment. Is this a perfect

505
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: week to do it? I love it? And we did

506
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: our NFC playoff picks or earlier in the show, and

507
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: I have the Philadelphia Eagles getting a wild card. I

508
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: think they also have the best shot to go worse

509
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: to first. And that's crazy. They're terrible. There's so much change.

510
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: That's why I like it. I believe in the jailing

511
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: hurts thing. Here's a couple of things. When you're making

512
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: these picks and you're trying to predict a season, what

513
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: do you believe in? What are you not believe in?

514
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: And it do respecting these people? I don't believe in

515
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. I don't really believe in Ryan Fitzpatrick, and

516
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: I have a lot of doubts about Mike McCarthy that

517
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: covers the entire division. So I'm gonna take a ride

518
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: on an unknown. I'm gonna take a ride on Jalen Hurts.

519
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you, Nick Sirianni was on the

520
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: show last week and we got really fired up about

521
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: it's excitable and everything, and never my name of anybody

522
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: else at the table. D'Angel Hall was here, who was

523
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: on record as saying that he hates the Eagles a

524
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: long time with Watch he hates him, and he was

525
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: coming out of this chair. I think you have a young,

526
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: excitable head coach, a young impressive talent, and I'm gonna

527
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: take a ride on it. I really do. I like

528
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: their front on defense, I like their weapons on offense,

529
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: and I like this. Here's my best way of showing

530
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: what kind of talent Jalen Hurts as the best kind

531
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: of potential. Think about these games. Three three hundred yard

532
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: passing sixt yard rushing in history, Steve Young as four,

533
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 1: Michael Vickers four, Russells as three, jale Hurts as two

534
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: in four starts four starts. Those are Hall of famers,

535
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: those A sensations with dozens and dozens of starts are

536
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: the only people at three hundred and sixty I know.

537
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: And as you sit here in the first year to September,

538
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: what do you mean the Eagles are gonna be trashed?

539
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: I don't think they are. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm

540
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: usually not. I think it's the Eagles. Like the Eagles,

541
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 1: that is an interesting pick right there. I probably wouldn't

542
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: have picked them, But it's all period for me. When

543
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 1: you look at all the division losers, I don't even

544
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: want to say it like that, but the guys who

545
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: came in last place and all the divisions in twenty twenty,

546
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: to me is easy. It's it's the forty nine ers,

547
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: right uh? They were They were hit with the injury

548
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: bug early in the season last year, and you can't

549
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: anticipate all of these guys being hurt again. I mean,

550
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: what do we talk without Jimmy Garoppolo missed ten games,

551
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: right hey, most have missed eight games, Deebo Samuel who

552
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: I think is gonna miss nine games, Bosa fourteen games.

553
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: George could have even missed some time. You cannot bet

554
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: on that happening again. I think the Niners are gonna

555
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: have a great season. I'm not so sure if Jimmy

556
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: Garoppolo finishes the season as a starter, but to me,

557
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: they have the best chance to go from worst to first.

558
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: I think a lot of time has been spent on

559
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: the defense with the forty nine ers and all the

560
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: injuries they had and all those guys. I can't say

561
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 1: enough about how important where he mostart is to that offense.

562
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: And he's a true number one running back and they

563
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: lost him last year for most of the season. I

564
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: go back to that Packers playoff game, which we reference

565
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: often two years ago. Now, of course we know what

566
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: happened to Suera Bowl, but most had one of the

567
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: greatest performances everybody running back in a postseason game. Jimmy

568
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: Garoppolo threw the ball eight times, and I think a

569
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: lot of people looking at it and be like, well,

570
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: that's an indictment on Jimmy. I've spoken to the Niners

571
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: guys over the last two years several times it's like,

572
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 1: why would you ever? Why would you ever? It might

573
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: be eight too many, it might have been why would

574
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: you ever throw? It was almost courtesy eight attempts to

575
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: win that they were running the ball this day. Now

576
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: most it's back, they're healthy, I feel like we get

577
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: the Trey Land stuff and we start thinking about all

578
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: this fun exotic. At their core, the forty nine ers

579
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: are a team that wants to shove the ball down

580
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: your throat and outmanu at the line of scrimmage on

581
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: both sides. So bringing back Trent Williams, having Mike mcclinchey

582
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: in a contract act year, having the defensive line be

583
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: featured with boss Up and Armstead and now Javon kin

584
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: Law and year two, they're going to dominate the line

585
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and every game they're in, every game both

586
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. Question is can they get enough

587
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,719
Speaker 1: points to make sure that they can get the scoring

588
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: to keep up with the teams like the Rams and

589
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. I'll take I'll take the odds that this

590
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 1: team can go worse. First, you know why, because they

591
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: did it two years ago and they went to Super Bowl.

592
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: If they're healthy, to your point, and it's a huge if,

593
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: there might be no more dangerous team because of the

594
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: way they just out muscle you and physically outplay you

595
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. It's a dying art in

596
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: the NFL. We now like finesse and five wide, We're

597
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: gonna run it right down your throat. Most aide is

598
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: going to score every single time as long as we

599
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: all stick to our assignments. I love it. It's hard

600
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: to I mean, there's no I'm trying to follow and

601
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: push back with you two. They can't do it. It's

602
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: to me, it's clear to the Niners. The Eagles are fascinating.

603
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: Every person we talked to or asked DeAngelo Hall was

604
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: sitting here in the Burlson before him. You even I

605
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: asked you about Nick Sirianni and like players buying into

606
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: his philosophy what he is. It seems like everyone across

607
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: the board is in, you know, players like when coaches

608
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: do things their own way. And I'm really really excited

609
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: and enthused by that. But I will ask you, shregs,

610
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: if you pulled that list again. The Niners are the

611
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: team that could go basement to planhouse. But a bunch

612
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: of these teams could make the playoffs. Sure, So I'm

613
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: asking if one of these other teams who make the playoffs,

614
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: who you're throwing in with. I had two squads and Kyle,

615
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: I do love you and your Eagles taken. It could

616
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: easily see it because the nfcast is wide open. But

617
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: there are two teams here that I don't know enough

618
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: about that I want to see, Broncos and Falcons. Yeah,

619
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: where there are just question marks that we haven't seen

620
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: what these new offtens are going to look like with

621
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: Bridgewater on one side and then Arthur Smith or the

622
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: other one. But I could easily see the Falcons either

623
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: giving the Bucks all they can handle in the NFC

624
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: South or coming up very close in their first year,

625
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: and then the Broncos if not now when right, I mean, yeah,

626
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: I think it has to be. I would just say

627
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: it's an interesting semmetry here with me picking the Eagles

628
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: and you guys on the Niners. Think of the twenty

629
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: nineteen Niners this week. Nobody had them, You're right, Nobody

630
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: had the Niners to do squat and yet they had

631
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: this young talented quarterback who played so the year before

632
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: and looked good. They had a young, offensive minded head coach. Like,

633
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: there's a lot of symmetry. There's not a single person

634
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: in this room or in this industry who predicted what

635
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: the Niners would do that year, and they would have

636
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: sounded like an idiot if they predicted the Niners to

637
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. That's what this week is about. It's

638
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: not the chalk, it's taking shots, and sometimes they're right.

639
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm now to dish out who you think will be

640
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: making it to the postseason. Let's start with the NFC.

641
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: The AFC will be later on in the show. Kyle

642
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: show us how it's done. Baby, Let's just get them

643
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: all out now. I should be drug tested. You should

644
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: have my job. I hear him every year, guys, and

645
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: pretty much I looked pretty good in January. Here we go.

646
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: There's my NFC division winners. The Cowboys are gonna do it,

647
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: the Bucks obviously, the Packers pre stock. I'm going to Seattle,

648
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: izag guys. I know every buddy's on the Rams and Niners.

649
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: Same old Seattle, Sam Old Pete, Same old Ross, Sam

650
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: Old Wagner. I think Seattle is going to win this thing.

651
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: But this is when it gets nuts. Let's scud some

652
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: wild cards. And they don't call them calm cards. They

653
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: call them wild cards. And here are mar three in

654
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: the National Football Conference across the ridimon week, Chicago Bears.

655
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: I believe we'll have the offensive rookie higher on the

656
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: field by week two. Let's go over to the right.

657
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: The San Facisco forty nine is good enough to make it.

658
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: And in the middle, yes, that is the Philadelphia Eagles logo.

659
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: Brand new, excitable, ambitious head coach, a lot of young talent.

660
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: And I still don't believe the NFC East has come

661
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: around yet. And I think that they will pick away

662
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: on some of those Washingtons and some giants, and at

663
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: the end of the day, the Eagles are going to

664
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: get a wild card in the NFC. Bears, Eagles, Niners.

665
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: Put it in the vault. Those are my wild card

666
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: teams for twenty wags, I Zag Adams. Everybody's on the rams.

667
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: I see they're handing MV. Pete Trophy to a quarterback

668
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: who has never won a playoff game. If you look

669
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: at the McVeigh era early on, a lot of points,

670
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: a lot of winning. Last couple of years not quite

671
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: as robust. And I think that that NFC West cannibalizes

672
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: each other and I don't have him good to Seahawks

673
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: is an interesting Pickbot. You did not see that coming,

674
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: did not? All Right? All right, Kyle, good job. I

675
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: heard every year. I gotta get drug tested. He should

676
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: have your job. You have to do it. Guess what

677
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: I picked Bucks versus Chiefs in the Super Bowl last year.

678
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: I think I know what I'm talking about, and yet

679
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: I can tell you I'm throwing darts. All right, here

680
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: we go here my division winners. Let's reveal them right here, Kyle,

681
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: I have a shocker. The Giants a right to win

682
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: the NFC East. The New York Giants, they put it

683
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: all together in a do or die season, the Buccaneers

684
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: in the South, the Packers like you in the North,

685
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: and then I'm going with the La Rams. I believe

686
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: the hype. I think it's that good. But I have

687
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: the Giants winning the division. If I'm all in on

688
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: Joe Judge's coach of the Year, he's gonna have to

689
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: win a division. And I think a lot of people

690
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: on that bill thing. No, it's now or never, and

691
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: that pressure is real, and I think they're going to

692
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: come together in Galvanize. But let's see the wild cards.

693
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: They're a star logo in this wild card. No, sorry,

694
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: Dallas Washington as my wild cards. You took Dallas and

695
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: Philly out of the East. I'm taking Giants and Washington

696
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: out of the I two love Seattle this year under

697
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: the radar team, one of the best quarterbacks in the league,

698
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: with really good defense. And I can't I can't deny

699
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: the Niners. They're healthy, they're ready to go. But there

700
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: are a few teams, the Cowboys, the Bears line, the Cowboys, Cowboys.

701
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: I just don't see it. I don't see it. And

702
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: I feel like they've been fun for August Fort for

703
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: hard knocks, I've been a blast, But I just don't

704
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: see it as a one year of I really like

705
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: your picks, all of them. Give me, give me the

706
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: cell on the Giants winning the division. This is a

707
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: team that has been building and building and building, and

708
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: last year finished a year with three wins out of

709
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: their last four, and the guys within that organization are

710
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: so uber confident with what they have, not listening to

711
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: the noise. I'm gonna take that for a Giants NFC

712
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: East champions and return to greatness. A whole playoff game

713
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: in our backyard. You couldn't find it in your heart

714
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: to find a little spot for those Arizona Cardinals. Now,

715
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: you couldn't do it. I couldn't want to. I know

716
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: you want to believe in it. Danny Dimes, Washington's defense

717
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: too good for that. Okay, Okay, how'd y'all start this?

718
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: Don't get at me, don't tell me I had a job,

719
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. But I'm gonna say this. Don't

720
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:34,479
Speaker 1: tweet me, Okay, leave me alone. I do profession. Yeah,

721
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: all right, four division winners, all right, let's reveal them.

722
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: Go on. I got the Bucks, okay, the Rams, the Packers,

723
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys. Okay. I think the Rams are gonna

724
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: do their thing. I know you talk about Matthew Staff

725
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: for not winning no playoff game, but he has a

726
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: different team around him, different different coordinator. And early with

727
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: the Rams, they were putting out a bunch of points,

728
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: but then they had Jared Golf for the last couple

729
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: of years. That's why he's not there. All right, wild

730
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: card round, Um, let's just safe. Yes, I knew you

731
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 1: guys are gonna have something to say about the Saints.

732
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: Look it's good. I can't sit here and say I'm

733
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: a total believer in Jameis Winston, okay, but I am

734
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: an absolute believer in Sean Payton, okay, And I think

735
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: Sean Payton can coach the interceptions out of this guy.

736
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: I think he can coach him into a better leadership

737
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: stance on that on that field. And Jamis, I think

738
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: in this preseason it showed me he's capable of pushing

739
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: the ball downfield, because obviously in the last couple of

740
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: years Drew Brees couldn't push the ball downfield. And I

741
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: think Sean Payton wants to get the ball downfield. So

742
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: the Saints are my surprise going into the playoffs. Battle

743
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: for Jamis the company love. Thenc West got three teams

744
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: on my list. The hardest was the hardest part of

745
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: the NFC playoff picture for you to decide. I wanted

746
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: to go all NFC West. I think with the three

747
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: wild card teams, I wanted to have Cardinals, Seahawks, and Rams,

748
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: and yet Washington and the Giant I feel too. I

749
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: feel like Washington's defense is too good to lose more

750
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: than like seven games a game, so I put them

751
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 1: in there. What was your takeaway from this exercise, Kyle?

752
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: When I did this, Okay the NFC, I got to

753
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 1: like six spots out of the out of the seven,

754
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: I was like, I think I'm good. I don't need

755
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: this Bears of the last team in or probably the

756
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: Bears and Eagles, whereas the AFC I was like, I

757
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: need twenty spots, Yeah, I can't fit them in. The

758
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: AFC felt so much more loaded to me, and we'll

759
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: do that later in the show. Eagles. You're high on

760
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: the Eagles. I'm high enough that they're gonna make it. Okay,

761
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: So last year, last year I took the Bears to

762
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Everybody killed me for it. They made the

763
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: playoffs the one that I listen it is not about me,

764
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: but you have to take shots. Last year, I said

765
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: the Dolphins in the playoffs annihilated as everyone said I

766
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: should be fired. Double digit winners, they just didn't make

767
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: it in the playoffs. I feel great about that pick.

768
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: There are some picks that we and people on the

769
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: world will make today that you are going to be

770
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 1: so angry about. Many of them will be right. It's

771
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: how it works. It's not just chalk. You don't just

772
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: pull up some call and say here's all the winners.

773
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: There's crazy things that happen in this league. Gotta pick some.

774
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 1: It is time now for the AFC predictions. Who's playing

775
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: in January, who's winning the division? Is squeezing in with

776
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: the wild card who's left on the outside looking in

777
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: graphic is awesome. This is fun. NFC tough, is the

778
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: AC tough vocal. The AFC is really tough. It was

779
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: for me, just because there's so many good teams and

780
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: you get the same seven spots. I wish you could

781
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 1: take a couple from the NFC in FLEXI you cannot

782
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: do that. We did NFC earlier. We will go around

783
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: the table. Here are my twenty twenty one AFC playoff teams,

784
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: starting with the division winners. Let's do it, okay, Buffalo Stock.

785
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: I believe the Buffalo Bills and only win the division,

786
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: it will be the one seed in the a FC.

787
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, I can't not pick them. Too many strengths,

788
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: too many weaknesses. And the other teams. I'm gonna go

789
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: with the Ravens guys in the North, and I know

790
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: that's not terribly popular. A lot of action on Cleveland, Pittsburgh,

791
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: who knows, I go Baltimore and then Kansas City. I

792
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: think pretty much everybody has them. But that's not where

793
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: the real juices on these things. It's in the wild cards. Again.

794
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: Wild cards were wild. What we got here we go?

795
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: I got Cleveland. I got New England and I'm going

796
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: with Denver. Aren't that wild? Cleveland? Very popular New England.

797
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: We've talked about it a lot. The defense should be

798
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: great mac Jones hashtag looks apart Denver. I like it,

799
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: and I liked it when they made the Teddy Bridgewater

800
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 1: choice because that said exactly what we're gonna be about.

801
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 1: We're gonna run the hell out of it. We're gonna

802
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,959
Speaker 1: be a little safe, and we're gonna lean on our defense. Um.

803
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: There's a couple of teams that are very popular that

804
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,439
Speaker 1: I don't have. That I won't mention them now because

805
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: maybe you guys have them. We can chew it up afterwards.

806
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: That's that's who I got. I got Cleveland, I got

807
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: Denver in the wild card to take it down what

808
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: the Broncos are very much so an outlier there. Let

809
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: us know how you feel at GM if be Peter,

810
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: you were up, I'm up. I'm interested in that you

811
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: took the Patriots over the Dolphins. We'll talk about that.

812
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: A lot of Dolphins hype all summer long. Let's see

813
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 1: where I go here, Let's see where I go division winners,

814
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: Let's see similar I got Cleveland winning the AFC North

815
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: for the first time I think since ever since they've

816
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: had the new division alignment and since they've came back

817
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: and I've got Cleveland, I really believe it. AFC South

818
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: is a nightmare. Tennessee might not be great, but they're

819
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: gonna win that division. The Colts I can't get behind

820
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: with whatever's going on there. Kansas City, of course, I'm

821
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 1: gonna pick Ken City in Buffalo. Wild cards are where

822
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: this gets okay wild, Let's see my wild cards teams

823
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: Big on the North, big on the North, Steelers in

824
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: Ravens both in Patriots over Dolphins as well. I'm going

825
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: with a rookie quarterback as well. I think Mac Jones

826
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 1: is stepping in to the ideal situation with a loaded roster,

827
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: the best coaching staff in football, and all of the

828
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: momentum of having outplayed Cam Newton. I've got the Patriots

829
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 1: out doing the Dolphins as well. That is two for

830
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: two both of us, and I think chalk is usually

831
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: Dolphins over Patriots and AFCAST for that second wild card spot.

832
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: But to a lot of those teams, I'm sorry, I

833
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 1: don't have you in there. I can't say no to

834
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens and Steelers. You're just too minute, too much

835
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: history with both those teams. Man, I like all of

836
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: you guys' list, man, play a good mine all here, right,

837
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: all right? My four division winners, all right. I got

838
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: the Bills with the number one seed of horse, I

839
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: got the Chiefs with the number two seed, the Browns

840
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: and the Titans. Same as you, Peter, I'm drinking some

841
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: of the kool aid that Cleveland's putting on tail right now.

842
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,720
Speaker 1: I really like what I'm seeing out of Baker Mayfield,

843
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: and they run the football right. But you guys are right.

844
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,760
Speaker 1: It's the wild car round and the wild card times

845
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: where it gets a little back. And we got Baltimore.

846
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: I have New England, and I think the Charges like

847
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: in man, and they're gonna do some damage. They're gonna

848
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: be a very scary team. And the way that I

849
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: have it seated right, that first round matchup will be

850
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs against the Chargers, right, a division opponent. They

851
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 1: know you. That will be the third time that these

852
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: guys play each other. I don't know, man, Casey better

853
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: watch out. Okay, So here here are here are my

854
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: thoughts right away, Chargers the outlier for you Broncos the

855
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: outlier for you, and no one took the Dolphins. No,

856
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: we're all collectively out on the Dolphins. All of you

857
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: took the Patriots. As I'm seeing, I feel like earlier

858
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: in the offseason you weren't here, but you two are

859
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: jefinitely Patriots outside looking and what changed, Mac Jones? This

860
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: totally changes. I mean, the confidence they have in that quarterback,

861
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: and it's so overwhelmingly positive coming out of there that

862
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: I don't think they would have made that decisionater. Do

863
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: you think that you put them in the playoffs if

864
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: they had stuck in Cam Newton's I definitely would not have. No,

865
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: I would I wouldn't have done it either, And it

866
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: just seems like, Wow, I'm more I'm more confident in

867
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterback than I am of toa. And that

868
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: was weird to me as I was putting the teams

869
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 1: down because like in the common sense is saying no too,

870
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 1: he's at an extra year. You know, he came out

871
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: looked and looked good in the preseason. But I don't know.

872
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: I do think that Mac Zone is in a better situation.

873
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: Did you leave the Steelers out of yours? I left

874
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: the Pater's the only one at this table that have

875
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: the Steelers in killing you though, you though I've been

876
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: talking about how the Steelers are this Teamleh was going

877
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: to pick up everyone. Yet you run out of room,

878
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: fat out only you want to put all the airc

879
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: north that last year I picked the stairs and win

880
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,240
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and it looked great for I didn't

881
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: have a spot for him. For the viewers at home

882
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 1: who are freaking out about the dollar, here's what it is. Essentially,

883
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: you have a wedding party you can fill out, and

884
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: there are only seven roomsmen or bridesmaids, and of course

885
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: the eighth and ninth person you want in there, but

886
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: there's only spots for seven. It's really all the groomsmen.

887
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: That is a No. One's list that has a hell

888
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: of a roster. Indianapolis, no Colts. No one has the Colts.

889
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: Great coach, great coach, great line, great things. You don't

890
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: believe in Crossing wins. He's going to be the same

891
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: old cross the water. It's hurt. I don't know if

892
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:28,399
Speaker 1: he can play well enough. I don't know if he's

893
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: going to be available to play exact given how the

894
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: preseason is going. So No I can't pick them, and

895
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. The Vikings and the Colts both have

896
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: really good teams. Both their quarterbacks are unvaccinated. I don't

897
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: know if they're available in I'm not putting my name

898
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: on a team that I don't know if their quarterback

899
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 1: is even available to play off seventeen weeks. Say what

900
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: you want about the vaccines, and I know you will,

901
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: but I just from football reasons. I need my guys

902
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: available at least to be available to me. I'm not

903
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: taking my risk. Why did you invite the Steelers to

904
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: your wedding? Because I trust the defense, the running game

905
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: going to weddings for years. Tomlin's been at for so

906
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: many weddings. He's such a good party guy at the wedding.

907
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: I've got to invite him to the wedding. He he's

908
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: a group Mike Tomlin's at my I think I think

909
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,720
Speaker 1: we're giving the Pittsburgh steel Is a lot of respect

910
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 1: just because of the tradition. Maybe I'm picking the logo

911
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: and and I think that's what we're doing. We have

912
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 1: seen Ben Roethlisberger get old right in front of our face,

913
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: and I'm not too sure the Pittsburgh Steelers has a

914
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: plan B, and so I think they may be asking

915
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: for being to come back at the end of the season.

916
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: It's who's going to be the starter? One team? One

917
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: team that aren't your thoughts too? No one took the

918
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: Raiders and the Raiders. Did you think about did? Did?

919
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 1: I did? Because they're six and three two years ago

920
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: and they fall apart six years last year, that you

921
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: really think about it, I did. I thought about them

922
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: as the final wild I couldn't do it just the history.

923
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: It was your final? Would you say? Because minus Denver

924
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: minus Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh is the final. That's the seventh the groomsman. Yeah,

925
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: it's his brother in law. Yeah. Fantasy football, your drafts

926
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 1: are pretty much over. So instead of picking division, I'm

927
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,720
Speaker 1: gonna be even more specific and I'm going to throw

928
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: in with a player at each position. These are my

929
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: five ride or cry fantasy players. Guys. I'm attaching my

930
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 1: name too, that I think are going to have great seasons,

931
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: whether they're values, whether their breakout years, whether it will

932
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: be top five performances. They're gonna make waves, I think.

933
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: So they're gonna make me happy or leave me tears.

934
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 1: But I'm you're crying with them all the way through.

935
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: First at quarterback, I'm doing it. Jameis Winston's doing it. Well,

936
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: I can't do it the straight face, but I'm doing it.

937
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: He's I'm doing it because of value. It's not a

938
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,439
Speaker 1: huge risk. He's going as a late QB two, even

939
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: at QB three, because this is the app this is

940
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,919
Speaker 1: the fantasy asteroid, Michael, That's what it is. The risk

941
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: is relatively low based on where you saw he was

942
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: going just there. We know what the ceiling is. He

943
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: was a top one quarterback in twenty nineteen. Too hard

944
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: for me to ignore that talent at that value. With

945
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: that coach, Mike rob that has you putting the Saints

946
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: in your playoff fixture. I'm all in hoping the combo

947
00:43:56,160 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, Lasic and Alvin Kamara out there and hopefully

948
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas back straightens everything out and hopefully they'll be okay. Okay.

949
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: So that's a convincing guy here. My next rider cry

950
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: player isn't very confident about this one. Cly that Edwards

951
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: a layer a lot of post type sleeping on him

952
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: at running back spot. He's going as a running back too.

953
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: I had him inside my top twelve. I think there's

954
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 1: a great chance he finishes in the top ten. This

955
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: is a high scoring offense with the Chiefs, plenty of

956
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: red zone opportunities should be at I think he finds

957
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: more consistency this year. Tray Smith talk about a YESPF

958
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: I'm supplied has changed, but I got to see them

959
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: up close and personal. I got to spend a little

960
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: time with fly Letord de Laire on the sidelines there,

961
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: and I'm very much in and comfortable with him. Where

962
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 1: he's going, he will absolutely exceed those expectations. At wide receiver.

963
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: I'm going T Higgins for Rider Cry Rider Crys. He's

964
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: going as a wide receiver three. That's where he was drafted.

965
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: I definitely think he outperformed that last year. Despite not

966
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 1: playing in Week one, he still was on an eleven

967
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 1: hundred yard pace before Joe Burrow got hurt. Now he's

968
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: got burrowback, He's entering a sophomore season, and I'm just

969
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: gonna say he might be Joe Burrow's primary target out there.

970
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, we'd get it some early struggles there, Yell, Yeah.

971
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: I just I think Ti Higgins is a solid option

972
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: and your wide receiver three. Come on, great another wide

973
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: receiver roll put on this list. I mean, no surprise year.

974
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with Ron Jill Moore. If you watched this

975
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: show regularly, you know I'm all in on him. He

976
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: went ninetieth around the ninety spot, meaning you can get

977
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: him as a late round. Steel We have the second

978
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: round pick is going to be involved in this offense. Kingsbury,

979
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,280
Speaker 1: the Madman, the scientist. He's in him all over the field,

980
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: all over the preseason at He's dynamic, he's a game breaker.

981
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: So take a swing on him late in drafts if

982
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 1: you haven't drafted already. If you got him, get ready

983
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 1: to play him. I think he's gonna be a game

984
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: change in versatile talent. He's going to put up points

985
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: for your fantasy team. Finally, at tight end, another guy

986
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: I love, Teezu Hockinson six the position. I think I

987
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: had him at four, right after Darren Waller. This is

988
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: the year that the former top ten picker sends into

989
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: that Kelsey killer Waller tier. He's in the mix. He's

990
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: Jared Goffs most reliable target remaining with the departures of

991
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: Malrvin Jones, Kenny Galladay this off season, Danny Amndoel. There's

992
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixteen targets up for grabs, and I

993
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: think a lot of those are going to be funnel.

994
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,479
Speaker 1: The Hawk's way big target. Jared Goff's happens to like those.

995
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: His coach happens to be a former Telience coach, so

996
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 1: a thousand yards for him wouldn't be crazy. And that

997
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: does not happen with tight ends. What it does not

998
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: really happen. I'm always looking for like seven hundred last year. Yeah,

999
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: so let's take a look at the full list. What

1000
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: do we think. I'll start with you and Ron because

1001
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: you were telling me the break that you let this

1002
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,919
Speaker 1: more kids. Yeah, I do. I love the Rondale Moore kid.

1003
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: I mean he's great in space, great short area quickness,

1004
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: he can make people missing. He's a dog when he

1005
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: gets the ball in his hands. I like Cloud. It

1006
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: was hilarious to you talk about that offensive line. Man,

1007
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: they're rebuilt. I think they're better than we've seen Kansas

1008
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: in his offensive line. They're road raiders. You talk about

1009
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: Tradesmith at that right guard spot. They're going to present

1010
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: some problems in defensive Rondel Moore am I worried about

1011
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: playing him every week because there's so many mouths. He's

1012
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: a good wide receiver. Three, he's in touch the ball.

1013
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna carry the ball three or four times. They're

1014
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: gonna throw him the rock. I want to talk about

1015
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 1: Jamis because it's ride or cry. That means you're saying

1016
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 1: Jamis is a QB one, Like no one wants to

1017
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: hear ride or cry about a QB two. There's twelve

1018
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in fantasy drafts at the most, he's one of them. Well,

1019
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 1: I said, I like the value he's going to exceed

1020
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 1: where he two quarterback three. I'm starting him like week

1021
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 1: one and you're crying, you're not riding good and he

1022
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 1: picked the Eagles. I'll go, Yeah, let me go. Don't

1023
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 1: drug test meek, don't. What are you going to do psychologically? Okay?

1024
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: Week six, Cardinals play against the Browns, which means it's

1025
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: gonna be Rondale Moore versus jeremiahs in a matchup for real, Like,

1026
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: and I know that you like those guys. What are

1027
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: you going to do? Are you gonna start Rondale? Yeah?

1028
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: I will start Dale. I'll go I'll go based off

1029
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: what I see the first five weeks. There are a

1030
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,240
Speaker 1: lot of Chiefs fans, you know, or this man's journey

1031
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 1: growing up Falcons fans as well. Our next guest rewrote

1032
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 1: the record book for NFL tight ends, and when he retired,

1033
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 1: he ranked first among tight ends in career receptions, receiving yards,

1034
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:18,320
Speaker 1: and touchdowns. Get choked up and here seen time Pro Bowler,

1035
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Famer, friend of the show, Tonzo

1036
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 1: the Boys. What's up? Excellent man, I'm Tony, good morning.

1037
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: I know you're on the West while, Man, I miss you.

1038
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: You look great on that green screen. Dude. Before we

1039
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,359
Speaker 1: get to football, though, let's just find out what's going

1040
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: on in the world of Tony Gonzalez. I like to

1041
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: live vicariously through you on Twitter. What have you been

1042
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: up to and how have you been spending your summer? Well?

1043
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: I have made a move out to Austin, Texas like

1044
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: a lot of other Californians. Um, and what else did

1045
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: we do? We went to Italy, went to Greece, went

1046
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 1: to Spain. We had ate, some good food, had a

1047
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 1: good time. And now I'm here representing Tebow. So four

1048
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:08,879
Speaker 1: K stream you want to ask me about that too,

1049
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: We'll get to that one. I read when I read

1050
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 1: that you're gonna explore the acting world, and I read

1051
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: that in the press release said Tony is going to

1052
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: be dipping his toe again. I remember us Paul Donovan

1053
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: and Triple X return of Xander Cage. Yeah, when you

1054
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: say you're getting into acting, Tony, does it really mean

1055
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 1: you're getting into acting or you like, I want to

1056
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: be an actor in a cameo? What are we doing here? Well, actually,

1057
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:34,760
Speaker 1: I just got done shooting a show called Long Slow Exit.

1058
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: We worked on that for about four months. It's my first,

1059
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: I guess, big role. Josh Lucas is the lead in

1060
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: the show. We shot it for Spectrum Paramount. Paramount was

1061
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,479
Speaker 1: the producer on it, so it's it's my first big show.

1062
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: So I can't wait for it to come out. I

1063
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: can't tell you when it's gonna come out because I

1064
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: don't know yet, but they're saying November, and if not

1065
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: then then maybe at you know, January. But I play

1066
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: a father who U of a basketball player on the

1067
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,240
Speaker 1: team and I have als, so it's actually a really

1068
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: big role. So we'll be able to tell if I

1069
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 1: can really do this or not. After this experience. We

1070
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: cannot wait to see that who's joining the program, Tony,

1071
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little football, shall we. You in front

1072
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 1: of that green screen, they're, oh, it's good to see you.

1073
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: I typed in your name and the name Kyle Pitts

1074
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: into my search engine this morning, and it is just

1075
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: boom flooded with articles comparing the both of you. What

1076
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: do you make of those comparisons? Well, you know, when

1077
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: I look at him, he's that evolution of that tight

1078
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 1: end position, kind of like when I came in, people

1079
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 1: were saying, Wow, you know, you've never really seen this

1080
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 1: type of athleticism at the at the position. And you

1081
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: see him, You're like, oh my gosh, you know, I'm

1082
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: running a four four, that tall, that strong. I look

1083
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 1: at him and I say, the sky's the limit. And

1084
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: he went to a great place playing with with Matt Ryan.

1085
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, I'm thinking eight ten touchdowns

1086
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: because in the red zone you just throw it up

1087
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: in the air. And Matt, obviously we had a great

1088
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: connection when I was there in Atlanta, and he knows

1089
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: how to just give it up there. He's a basketball

1090
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: type player. Throw it up highest point, can't stop it.

1091
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: Even when you're covered, you're not covered, you can have

1092
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 1: great position on him as a defensive player. And I

1093
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: used to tell Matt this when I first got there.

1094
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: He said, where do you like it? I said, throw

1095
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: it up high and let me go get it, because

1096
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 1: even if I'm covered, I'm not covered because these guys

1097
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 1: they just can't hang with me athletically. I'm six six

1098
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 1: or so. Well, I'm six five. He's six six and

1099
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,879
Speaker 1: jumps forty inches and runs a four four. I see

1100
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:37,439
Speaker 1: big victness coming from this guy, no doubt. And listen,

1101
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: this guy's the limit. Also for long slow exhale. I'm

1102
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 1: reading about it right now. Tony Fumka Johnson is in

1103
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 1: this Zenia from Golden Eyed, and she's awesome. We we've

1104
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 1: watched her for twenty years. We cannot wait to watch

1105
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: the show. And if I were to give a Fumka

1106
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 1: Johnson comp for a wide receiver, it's gonna be Julio Jones.

1107
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 1: Of course, natural talent, long durable career. So Kyle Pits

1108
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 1: comes in, Julio goes out kind of relate Tony in

1109
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: the sense that you were traded late in your career,

1110
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 1: as Julio was. What do you think now is the

1111
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,280
Speaker 1: Julio Jones twenty twenty one experience down there in Tennessee.

1112
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 1: I think just like when when I left Kansas City

1113
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: after year twelve, I'm sure there was a lot of

1114
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: people out there saying, you know, does he does he

1115
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 1: still have it? Can he get back to that top form?

1116
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: And I went out there and I think I was

1117
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, I went to the Pro Bowl four times

1118
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 1: and made you know, all pro a couple of times.

1119
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: So I expect the same thing from Julio. Do not

1120
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,360
Speaker 1: count him out. If there is not the old Julio,

1121
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 1: it's he is going to add a dimension to that

1122
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: offense with that running back, that big horse in the backfield,

1123
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 1: and Ajan Brown on the other side. It's gonna be

1124
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: just like the offense I guess that we had out

1125
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: there in Atlanta, where it was it was me, Roddy White, uh,

1126
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 1: you had Michael Turner in the backfield. It's gonna be

1127
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: pretty much on stoppable at Tannehill is going to have

1128
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 1: an outstanding year because Julio. Also, from what I know

1129
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: of Julio, he is out to silence a lot of people.

1130
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,439
Speaker 1: He is out to say, hey, you know, I'm still

1131
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 1: the best receiver in the NFL, one of the best

1132
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 1: receivers of all time. I expect big things out of

1133
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: him this year. Yeah, TJ. And I also think Julio

1134
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: wants to win a championship man, you know what I mean,

1135
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 1: He's searching for it, just like we all search for

1136
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 1: it in our careers. Now, you played twelve seasons in

1137
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 1: Kansas City, then you were traded to Atlanta. Three years later,

1138
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 1: you face the Chiefs and Arrowhead. Now Tom Brady is

1139
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: doing the same thing this year. He faces his former

1140
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: team in New England in Foxborough Week four. Just to

1141
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 1: take us through the emotions, you know, returning home, the

1142
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: facial former team and what do you think it was

1143
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: gonna be Tom Brady's mindset when he goes to New England. Yeah,

1144
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: you know, But honestly, it's a big distraction. I mean,

1145
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 1: you try to put it out of your mind as

1146
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: best you can, and I'm you know, and I was

1147
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 1: able to do it. But at the same time, but

1148
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: it's still there. And when you show up and you

1149
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 1: see all the old faces, you see the old equipment manager,

1150
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: you see the old coaches you played with, you see

1151
00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 1: some of the all the players that you used to

1152
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,439
Speaker 1: play with. But now you're in the busiting locker room.

1153
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 1: It's it's weird. You're looking around like this is this

1154
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 1: It's not how you thought it was gonna be, because

1155
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure Tom probably thought he was gonna be in

1156
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 1: New England the rest of his career. But one of

1157
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 1: the cool things is when I went out in the

1158
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 1: field as a visiting team. I remember the broadcast, the

1159
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: guy who does all the announcements at the stadium, they said,

1160
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 1: welcome the Atlanta Falcons and that the end it said,

1161
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 1: and let's welcome back Tony Gonzalez. And that was just class.

1162
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: And I hope New England does something like that because

1163
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 1: of the crowd at that point made the biggest ovation.

1164
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: And I remember one of the players on my team,

1165
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 1: he came up to me and he looked at me

1166
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: while the crowd was going nuts, and he said, wow,

1167
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool, and it was. It was just a

1168
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 1: great feeling to be back in the old stadium. But

1169
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 1: then as soon as I scored my touchdown and I

1170
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:56,840
Speaker 1: dunked it over the goalpost, they all booed me. And

1171
00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's gonna happen to Tom too. I love it.

1172
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: I love that you're shouting out Alan right. The Chiefs

1173
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 1: equipment guy. You see your equipment manager and you're like,

1174
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,240
Speaker 1: I love you, dude, You're my guy. Yeah, I get it, dude.

Speaker 1: watch the Kana City Chiefs, and it takes you right

1185
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: to it. And then as soon as that's done, you

1186
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,280
Speaker 1: can say okay, and I got four kids, I can say, okay,

1196
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 1: to watch a football game. It is. It's funny when

1197
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,399
Speaker 1: you're saying it's back and everybody remembers it. I thought

1198
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:20,280
Speaker 1: you were talking about Tibo, but no, Tibo much different.

1199
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: Tibow is not back. Urban Meyer saw to that, and

1200
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: then we all had a long, slow exhale Tony. NFL

Speaker 1: Mike Robinson miked up in the twenty twelve NFC Divisional

1204
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,839
Speaker 1: against your Falcons. Why don't we sit back and take

00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: a list, and everybody at home tibo. This all we

Speaker 1: They gonna be dud up touchdown or a cli. It

1208
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:56,360
Speaker 1: could be a touchdown here. Ryan gonna throw good side

1209
00:56:56,440 --> 00:57:03,280
Speaker 1: US cut and a one yard touchdown pass to Tony Gonzalez,

1210
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 1: who's called a lot of them in his sixteen year career.

1211
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:08,360
Speaker 1: He need to go out and retire. I'm tired and

1212
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm making plays, Tony. That's how you're doing. Mike wants

1213
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: you to retire. Sick of it, Tony. What do you

1214
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: remember about that game? We're all laughing. Oh man, you

1215
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: know what though, because we were winning, we were pretty

1216
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:23,959
Speaker 1: much dominating the whole game. And then fourth quarter, second

1217
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: half they came from and came back because stormed on

1218
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: us and took the lead with I think a minute

1219
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: left in the game, and I was like, here we

1220
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 1: go again. I'm about to lose. I'd never won a

1221
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: playoff game and to that point, but fortunately, I think

1222
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: we had two plays and we connected on two plays,

1223
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: kicked the field goal fifty something yarder Matt Brian to

1224
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 1: win the game, and you know we sent him home. Uh.

1225
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: And it was probably it was the best experience, the

1226
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 1: only playoff win I've ever had in my life. But

1227
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: it was the beginning of their little dynasty they had

1228
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: out there, so I like to think we were part

1229
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 1: of it. We can out. You guys needed that. And

1230
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 1: then the next year I was so pissed off. We'll

1231
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: pay the Niners. The next week, We'll get me starting, Tony.
