1 00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,668 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in 2 00:00:06,748 --> 00:00:21,388 Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:22,188 --> 00:00:26,108 Speaker 2: Good Morning Football. It was not pretty. 4 00:00:26,228 --> 00:00:28,748 Speaker 3: We're going to talk about the Bears and why there 5 00:00:28,828 --> 00:00:31,988 Speaker 3: might be some optimism brewing. So yesterday in the middle 6 00:00:31,988 --> 00:00:34,028 Speaker 3: of our show, we had to bring Ian Rappaport in 7 00:00:34,068 --> 00:00:37,668 Speaker 3: our NFL network insire because news broke Ian and it 8 00:00:37,748 --> 00:00:41,748 Speaker 3: probably made Caleb Williams pretty happy when this news hit 9 00:00:41,788 --> 00:00:42,268 Speaker 3: his phone. 10 00:00:44,068 --> 00:00:46,868 Speaker 4: There's actually been a couple big news items for the 11 00:00:46,948 --> 00:00:50,348 Speaker 4: Chicago Bears. The biggest, though, you're right, during the show yesterday, 12 00:00:50,708 --> 00:00:54,748 Speaker 4: Joe Tooney, the multi year All Pro Pro bowler, one 13 00:00:54,748 --> 00:00:57,148 Speaker 4: of the best cards in the NFL, thirty two years old, 14 00:00:57,228 --> 00:01:00,428 Speaker 4: due for a new contract, was traded from the Kentas 15 00:01:00,468 --> 00:01:04,268 Speaker 4: City Chiefs to the Chicago Bears. Ryan Poe's The Gentleman 16 00:01:05,028 --> 00:01:08,108 Speaker 4: add it again very active thus far. First trading for 17 00:01:08,188 --> 00:01:10,948 Speaker 4: Jonah Jackson, who of course his coach Ben Johnson had 18 00:01:11,028 --> 00:01:14,308 Speaker 4: in Detroit, and now trading for Joe Toney, who polls 19 00:01:14,348 --> 00:01:17,908 Speaker 4: himself was within Kansas City and for the Kansas City Chiefs, 20 00:01:18,148 --> 00:01:19,628 Speaker 4: this one makes a lot of sense for them, I 21 00:01:19,668 --> 00:01:21,748 Speaker 4: would say, similar to what they did with Tyreek Hill. 22 00:01:22,068 --> 00:01:24,948 Speaker 4: Move on from a player about to get his third contract, 23 00:01:25,388 --> 00:01:28,548 Speaker 4: collect the money or the cap space, I should say, 24 00:01:28,868 --> 00:01:31,028 Speaker 4: get a draft pick, and simply move on to the 25 00:01:31,108 --> 00:01:36,068 Speaker 4: Chicago Bears. Nothing is more important than protecting Caleb Williams. Nothing, 26 00:01:36,268 --> 00:01:38,548 Speaker 4: and so if you have an all pro guard to 27 00:01:38,628 --> 00:01:40,988 Speaker 4: slid in there, potentially do a new deal with him 28 00:01:41,028 --> 00:01:43,228 Speaker 4: at some point. But even if you don't, this is 29 00:01:43,268 --> 00:01:46,228 Speaker 4: one of the best in football. Protect Caleb Williams. Talking 30 00:01:46,228 --> 00:01:48,668 Speaker 4: about the optimism for the Bears, this helps. 31 00:01:48,428 --> 00:01:51,028 Speaker 3: Give it absolutely all right, let's take that and run 32 00:01:51,068 --> 00:01:53,348 Speaker 3: with it, because that twenty twenty four video, it really 33 00:01:53,388 --> 00:01:55,308 Speaker 3: took a dark turn. And now we know that Joe 34 00:01:55,308 --> 00:01:58,028 Speaker 3: Tooney is going to be in Chicago after agreeing to 35 00:01:58,628 --> 00:02:00,868 Speaker 3: terms with the Chiefs, and then of course Joondah Jackson 36 00:02:00,868 --> 00:02:05,308 Speaker 3: now arrives from the La Rams. Kyle, what optimism about 37 00:02:05,348 --> 00:02:08,548 Speaker 3: the Chicago Bears going into last season? Are you prepared 38 00:02:08,588 --> 00:02:12,228 Speaker 3: to reframe that excitement with this team once again in 39 00:02:12,268 --> 00:02:12,988 Speaker 3: the Windy City? 40 00:02:14,228 --> 00:02:15,268 Speaker 2: Down right? Damn right? 41 00:02:15,348 --> 00:02:17,348 Speaker 5: Listen, If you're not excited in March and April, when 42 00:02:17,388 --> 00:02:19,068 Speaker 5: are you excited? Let me tell you about the Bears. 43 00:02:19,468 --> 00:02:22,028 Speaker 5: The Bears are going to push people around next year. Now, 44 00:02:22,068 --> 00:02:23,748 Speaker 5: I don't know if they're gonna win yet, we'll figure 45 00:02:23,788 --> 00:02:26,548 Speaker 5: that out. They are going to push people around, all right. 46 00:02:26,628 --> 00:02:31,148 Speaker 5: The Joe Toney signing, of course, it's good for Caleb, 47 00:02:31,228 --> 00:02:33,628 Speaker 5: of course. I don't see it that way though. I 48 00:02:33,668 --> 00:02:36,428 Speaker 5: see it as representative of where this team is going 49 00:02:36,508 --> 00:02:39,708 Speaker 5: about where Ben Johnson wants to go. Do you remember 50 00:02:39,868 --> 00:02:43,308 Speaker 5: never mind golf in the defense, Dan Campbell and Equanimius. 51 00:02:43,468 --> 00:02:45,508 Speaker 5: Do you remember the way the Detroit Lions ran the 52 00:02:45,548 --> 00:02:50,388 Speaker 5: ball last year? It was really really badass. This is 53 00:02:50,428 --> 00:02:53,308 Speaker 5: what Ben Johnson wants to do with the Joe Toney signing, 54 00:02:53,508 --> 00:02:54,308 Speaker 5: and it's not done. 55 00:02:54,348 --> 00:02:54,668 Speaker 2: Guys. 56 00:02:55,348 --> 00:02:57,548 Speaker 5: I saw this report from Jeremy Fother that they're looking 57 00:02:57,548 --> 00:02:59,548 Speaker 5: at Durham Smite, that tied end from the Dolphins, who 58 00:02:59,548 --> 00:03:01,588 Speaker 5: Ben Johnson has a deep relationship with. I don't know 59 00:03:01,588 --> 00:03:03,108 Speaker 5: if you win a Super Bowl with Durham Smite, I 60 00:03:03,108 --> 00:03:05,508 Speaker 5: don't care you run the ball with them. They are 61 00:03:05,548 --> 00:03:09,588 Speaker 5: putting together assets and it's not just gonna be DeAndre Swift, 62 00:03:09,628 --> 00:03:11,908 Speaker 5: mark my words. They will add a running back through 63 00:03:11,948 --> 00:03:15,228 Speaker 5: free agency or the draft. I just like this because 64 00:03:15,548 --> 00:03:18,188 Speaker 5: last year at this time for the Bears, through the draft, 65 00:03:18,428 --> 00:03:21,428 Speaker 5: it was quarterbacks and receivers and tight ends and all 66 00:03:21,468 --> 00:03:25,188 Speaker 5: this wonderful stuff. It was all sugar. It was sugar 67 00:03:25,308 --> 00:03:29,068 Speaker 5: and sweetness. Ben Jonson says, it's time for steak. Let's 68 00:03:29,068 --> 00:03:31,188 Speaker 5: put some steak on this plate. We're gonna go to 69 00:03:31,308 --> 00:03:34,628 Speaker 5: Gibson's and do the Viagra Triangle Special and do about 70 00:03:34,668 --> 00:03:35,788 Speaker 5: a fifty ounce. 71 00:03:35,628 --> 00:03:37,268 Speaker 2: Ribbi right on the play. 72 00:03:37,308 --> 00:03:40,868 Speaker 5: We're gonna run because, mark my words, the Vikings, Lions 73 00:03:41,108 --> 00:03:44,868 Speaker 5: packers all really, really good against the run. And nobody 74 00:03:44,908 --> 00:03:47,588 Speaker 5: knows that better than Ben Johnson. He has a PhD. 75 00:03:47,708 --> 00:03:51,108 Speaker 5: In the NFC North. Those teams are great against the run. 76 00:03:51,508 --> 00:03:53,868 Speaker 5: You gotta fight that, and you don't fight that with 77 00:03:53,988 --> 00:03:55,828 Speaker 5: wide receivers and DeAndre Swift. 78 00:03:55,988 --> 00:03:57,988 Speaker 2: You gotta add to that. You want to know what. 79 00:03:58,028 --> 00:04:00,788 Speaker 5: Twenty twenty two, Mattie Rafluse gets hired. All right, let's 80 00:04:00,868 --> 00:04:04,068 Speaker 5: see how he made his foray into his first free 81 00:04:04,068 --> 00:04:07,028 Speaker 5: agency as Ben Johnson. Before we even get there is 82 00:04:07,068 --> 00:04:08,468 Speaker 5: adding someone like Joe Tuning. 83 00:04:08,548 --> 00:04:09,828 Speaker 2: Other pieces you look up to. 84 00:04:09,868 --> 00:04:14,548 Speaker 5: Twenty twenty two Transaction report the Bears add Byron Pringle, 85 00:04:14,628 --> 00:04:18,388 Speaker 5: Tayvon Young, Trevor Simeon. Due respect to those guys, this 86 00:04:18,468 --> 00:04:20,308 Speaker 5: is a different type of thing going on. If you 87 00:04:20,348 --> 00:04:23,228 Speaker 5: want change if you want a new era, they're already 88 00:04:23,268 --> 00:04:25,268 Speaker 5: making it. We haven't even hit free agency yet. We'll 89 00:04:25,268 --> 00:04:27,548 Speaker 5: see if they win. Well, you figure that out in 90 00:04:27,548 --> 00:04:29,988 Speaker 5: the fall. They will push people around and they will 91 00:04:29,988 --> 00:04:33,068 Speaker 5: be physical. The Toney signing, it's great for Caleb. It's 92 00:04:33,148 --> 00:04:35,468 Speaker 5: better for the run game. That's what Ben Johnson wants 93 00:04:35,468 --> 00:04:36,028 Speaker 5: to establish. 94 00:04:36,028 --> 00:04:36,788 Speaker 2: Guests me fired up. 95 00:04:37,148 --> 00:04:38,868 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not even a Bears fan, and Kyle, you 96 00:04:38,948 --> 00:04:41,948 Speaker 6: got me fired up over here, but I'm damn let's go. 97 00:04:42,148 --> 00:04:43,748 Speaker 6: I was ready to be all in on the Bears 98 00:04:43,748 --> 00:04:45,308 Speaker 6: as soon as they hired Ben Johnson. I think that 99 00:04:45,428 --> 00:04:47,748 Speaker 6: is the best hire of the offseason. It's a home 100 00:04:47,828 --> 00:04:50,268 Speaker 6: run for them hiring within the division as well. But 101 00:04:50,308 --> 00:04:52,988 Speaker 6: Ben Johnson is one of the best offensive lines in football. 102 00:04:53,148 --> 00:04:54,548 Speaker 2: He's also a young coach, and. 103 00:04:54,508 --> 00:04:56,188 Speaker 6: That means he's a player's coach, and I think that's 104 00:04:56,228 --> 00:04:56,868 Speaker 6: great for Caleb. 105 00:04:56,868 --> 00:04:58,108 Speaker 2: He's only thirty eight years old. 106 00:04:58,228 --> 00:05:00,988 Speaker 6: We saw what he did in Detroit, what Jamier gives 107 00:05:01,028 --> 00:05:03,108 Speaker 6: and David Montgomery in the different ways he used Jamison 108 00:05:03,108 --> 00:05:05,228 Speaker 6: Williams right. He was them the ball through the airs. 109 00:05:05,228 --> 00:05:06,588 Speaker 6: And they also give him some run game things and 110 00:05:06,628 --> 00:05:07,988 Speaker 6: give him some endo rounds. And he had some big 111 00:05:08,028 --> 00:05:09,948 Speaker 6: plays on the ground, whether they use Sam Laporta. 112 00:05:10,348 --> 00:05:11,468 Speaker 2: It was so much from the watch, and. 113 00:05:11,388 --> 00:05:13,388 Speaker 6: Then Amin Ross Saint Brown would get his touches. What 114 00:05:13,428 --> 00:05:15,548 Speaker 6: that tells me is he's going to go to Chicago 115 00:05:15,588 --> 00:05:16,828 Speaker 6: and do the same thing. They have a lot of 116 00:05:16,828 --> 00:05:19,348 Speaker 6: great pieces on offense. He can get everybody their touches 117 00:05:19,388 --> 00:05:21,388 Speaker 6: because he did the same thing in Detroit. I love that, 118 00:05:21,428 --> 00:05:23,788 Speaker 6: and like Kyle said, the most important thing, he knows 119 00:05:23,788 --> 00:05:25,588 Speaker 6: what it takes to win in the NFC North. He 120 00:05:25,628 --> 00:05:28,228 Speaker 6: knows what it takes late in November, late in December 121 00:05:28,228 --> 00:05:30,388 Speaker 6: and those cold weather games. How to run the football 122 00:05:30,508 --> 00:05:32,828 Speaker 6: while you go get Joe Tooney and Jonah Jackson. How 123 00:05:32,828 --> 00:05:34,308 Speaker 6: to go out there and dominate the game and then 124 00:05:34,308 --> 00:05:37,828 Speaker 6: play great defense. I really like like he mentioned Tooney 125 00:05:37,908 --> 00:05:39,548 Speaker 6: and Jackson for the run game, but they also are 126 00:05:39,548 --> 00:05:41,268 Speaker 6: two of the highest guards when it came to win 127 00:05:41,348 --> 00:05:43,668 Speaker 6: rate in pass protection last season. 128 00:05:43,748 --> 00:05:44,708 Speaker 2: That is very important. 129 00:05:44,788 --> 00:05:47,348 Speaker 6: If you invest the number one overall pick in your quarterback, 130 00:05:47,428 --> 00:05:48,988 Speaker 6: you can't just invest in him. You have to invest 131 00:05:49,028 --> 00:05:50,428 Speaker 6: in your offensive line. You have to invest in the 132 00:05:50,468 --> 00:05:52,628 Speaker 6: guys around him. Said the same thing with Drake May. 133 00:05:52,748 --> 00:05:54,388 Speaker 6: If you want to set these guys up for success, 134 00:05:54,428 --> 00:05:55,868 Speaker 6: you have to do exactly what the Bears. 135 00:05:55,628 --> 00:05:57,188 Speaker 2: Are doing right now. And they also have a lot 136 00:05:57,228 --> 00:05:57,868 Speaker 2: of money. 137 00:05:57,628 --> 00:05:59,428 Speaker 6: To spend this offseason, so I think they're going to 138 00:05:59,428 --> 00:06:01,428 Speaker 6: continue to get better. I don't know, Kyle if I'm 139 00:06:01,428 --> 00:06:03,388 Speaker 6: ready to go all in on the Bears, but they 140 00:06:03,388 --> 00:06:05,188 Speaker 6: are definitely going to make it as a contender in 141 00:06:05,188 --> 00:06:05,908 Speaker 6: twenty twenty five. 142 00:06:06,588 --> 00:06:09,788 Speaker 7: I guess, like the Raiders, this is one of the 143 00:06:09,828 --> 00:06:11,708 Speaker 7: smartest moves the Bears have made in the long time, 144 00:06:11,748 --> 00:06:12,588 Speaker 7: hiring Ben Johnson. 145 00:06:12,628 --> 00:06:14,428 Speaker 2: I like the Joe Toney signing. 146 00:06:14,828 --> 00:06:16,668 Speaker 7: You plan him at left guard and say do what 147 00:06:16,708 --> 00:06:19,228 Speaker 7: you do best. I do worry about our wonder about 148 00:06:19,308 --> 00:06:22,548 Speaker 7: Jonah Jackson and where they play him, because it was 149 00:06:22,588 --> 00:06:24,588 Speaker 7: an adventure trying to move him to center and it 150 00:06:24,588 --> 00:06:26,588 Speaker 7: didn't work out. There wasn't a place for him, and 151 00:06:26,588 --> 00:06:29,068 Speaker 7: now he's in Chicago, so where you play him along 152 00:06:29,068 --> 00:06:31,028 Speaker 7: that line of scrimmage is going to be very very interesting. 153 00:06:31,108 --> 00:06:33,188 Speaker 7: But I think it's all It's all up to what 154 00:06:33,268 --> 00:06:35,628 Speaker 7: Caleb Williams does and supporting him, and I thought he 155 00:06:35,708 --> 00:06:37,708 Speaker 7: had a great supporting cast. It just seems like the 156 00:06:37,748 --> 00:06:40,788 Speaker 7: plan was a little hit or miss there. DeAndre Swift 157 00:06:40,908 --> 00:06:42,748 Speaker 7: is a close to one thousand yard back and he's 158 00:06:42,748 --> 00:06:45,188 Speaker 7: a guy you can't sleep on. So I agree with Kyle. 159 00:06:45,508 --> 00:06:47,428 Speaker 7: Get him some help, make it a two headed monster. 160 00:06:47,908 --> 00:06:50,788 Speaker 7: You might get more explosive runs out of swift or 161 00:06:50,868 --> 00:06:53,468 Speaker 7: out of the backfield, like you see there. A tremendous player, 162 00:06:53,508 --> 00:06:56,388 Speaker 7: but it is tough, absolutely tough. We talked about this 163 00:06:56,428 --> 00:07:00,668 Speaker 7: when Kyle was in studio. Name one great Chicago quarterback. 164 00:07:01,268 --> 00:07:03,748 Speaker 2: It's hard. It's hard. You go all the way back, 165 00:07:03,868 --> 00:07:04,348 Speaker 2: never had one. 166 00:07:04,548 --> 00:07:07,028 Speaker 7: It is tough to play quarterback in Chicago. It gets 167 00:07:07,068 --> 00:07:09,948 Speaker 7: cold in December, tough to throw the football. But we'll 168 00:07:09,948 --> 00:07:11,708 Speaker 7: see what Ben Johnson has. We'll see if you can 169 00:07:11,708 --> 00:07:14,468 Speaker 7: get Caleb Williams going. But I like the direction in 170 00:07:14,548 --> 00:07:15,348 Speaker 7: Chicago's headed. 171 00:07:15,668 --> 00:07:18,028 Speaker 8: I'm a big Kayleb Williams guy because obviously he's a 172 00:07:18,108 --> 00:07:20,708 Speaker 8: Sooner despite following the Sith Lord to your school. 173 00:07:20,788 --> 00:07:25,548 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, own him, Josh, Kayleb Williams is a Sooner. 174 00:07:26,268 --> 00:07:29,868 Speaker 8: But when the Bears drafted him, I like Roma Dunsa 175 00:07:30,068 --> 00:07:34,148 Speaker 8: Why they didn't take that Fuaga guy instead. If you 176 00:07:34,308 --> 00:07:37,428 Speaker 8: draft a quarterback number one overall, your next pick has 177 00:07:37,468 --> 00:07:38,708 Speaker 8: to be an alignment. 178 00:07:38,548 --> 00:07:40,988 Speaker 6: Especially when you have DJ Moore and Kenan Allen on 179 00:07:40,988 --> 00:07:42,348 Speaker 6: the less. 180 00:07:42,588 --> 00:07:45,068 Speaker 3: Well to your point, though, Joshua, the Bears at the 181 00:07:45,148 --> 00:07:47,188 Speaker 3: number ten pick right now, if you're looking at Charles Davis, 182 00:07:47,188 --> 00:07:50,548 Speaker 3: if you're looking at DJ who we all love and follow, 183 00:07:50,628 --> 00:07:54,268 Speaker 3: Daniel Jeremiah, they both have them taking Calvin Benjamin, Kelvin Banks, 184 00:07:54,268 --> 00:07:56,668 Speaker 3: excuse me, the tackle out of Texas right this year 185 00:07:56,668 --> 00:07:58,668 Speaker 3: at least so Kyle. It kind of bolsters your point 186 00:07:58,708 --> 00:08:01,388 Speaker 3: that they're building for the run game and for offensive production. 187 00:08:02,908 --> 00:08:04,788 Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, Jamie, and I think if you're tuning 188 00:08:04,788 --> 00:08:06,988 Speaker 5: in right now, we should address the lower third. 189 00:08:06,828 --> 00:08:07,748 Speaker 2: On the bottom of the screen. 190 00:08:08,028 --> 00:08:10,788 Speaker 5: Is it okay to be excited about the Bear? What 191 00:08:10,828 --> 00:08:13,628 Speaker 5: does that mean? Well, the context is there was a 192 00:08:13,908 --> 00:08:16,908 Speaker 5: lot of excitement about the Bears in the last offseason. 193 00:08:17,388 --> 00:08:19,868 Speaker 5: I was the drum major out in front of it. 194 00:08:20,188 --> 00:08:22,468 Speaker 5: And the season was cataclysmic. 195 00:08:22,508 --> 00:08:23,108 Speaker 2: It was awful. 196 00:08:23,148 --> 00:08:25,508 Speaker 5: The team was not just bad, they were completely broken. 197 00:08:25,548 --> 00:08:27,908 Speaker 5: They fired the head coach. I think a lot of 198 00:08:27,948 --> 00:08:30,548 Speaker 5: the excitement is not just about what's going on. It's 199 00:08:30,548 --> 00:08:32,508 Speaker 5: not about joke tooing, it's not about getting a guard. 200 00:08:32,788 --> 00:08:35,308 Speaker 5: It's still about the head coach. And last year when 201 00:08:35,308 --> 00:08:37,428 Speaker 5: they were drafting all these players and it's going to 202 00:08:37,508 --> 00:08:41,868 Speaker 5: be Joe Leverett and Roma Doomsay and Keenan Allen. When 203 00:08:41,868 --> 00:08:44,708 Speaker 5: the Bears fans were screaming about that and tweeting about that, 204 00:08:45,228 --> 00:08:46,868 Speaker 5: if someone would say, okay. 205 00:08:46,588 --> 00:08:48,428 Speaker 2: Great, do you like your head coach? 206 00:08:48,548 --> 00:08:50,588 Speaker 5: How about Matt Everrafluss, and the response to that would 207 00:08:50,628 --> 00:08:53,348 Speaker 5: be like, well we got Roma Doomsay, though, never mind that, 208 00:08:53,388 --> 00:08:55,348 Speaker 5: who cares? No, no, no, no, I'm asking you about the coach. 209 00:08:55,428 --> 00:08:57,908 Speaker 5: Do you like the coach? Did you see what Keenan 210 00:08:57,948 --> 00:09:00,908 Speaker 5: Allen did? It was complete ignoring it, and there was 211 00:09:00,948 --> 00:09:03,988 Speaker 5: an awareness of the Bears fans that I'm not sure 212 00:09:04,028 --> 00:09:06,028 Speaker 5: we have a guy on the sideline who is going 213 00:09:06,068 --> 00:09:08,108 Speaker 5: to lead us to the playoffs. And they found out 214 00:09:08,108 --> 00:09:09,868 Speaker 5: that they didn't. Now, listen, we don't know if Ben 215 00:09:09,948 --> 00:09:12,388 Speaker 5: Johnson is, but damn if he isn't, and he's not 216 00:09:12,468 --> 00:09:13,508 Speaker 5: the guy, who the hell. 217 00:09:13,428 --> 00:09:14,628 Speaker 2: Is that's the excitement. 218 00:09:14,868 --> 00:09:17,588 Speaker 5: It's okay to get hurt again, That's what I'm saying. 219 00:09:17,588 --> 00:09:19,428 Speaker 5: It's okay to go out and date again. Get up, 220 00:09:19,588 --> 00:09:22,948 Speaker 5: open the blinds, take a shower, go out, have some breakfast, 221 00:09:23,028 --> 00:09:23,588 Speaker 5: get outside. 222 00:09:23,668 --> 00:09:25,908 Speaker 2: It's okay. That's what we do in the Springs. Sure. Yeah, 223 00:09:26,188 --> 00:09:27,268 Speaker 2: the most important thing too. 224 00:09:27,308 --> 00:09:29,068 Speaker 6: And the last thing I'll say about this is when 225 00:09:29,068 --> 00:09:31,988 Speaker 6: you invest in your quarterback right, you got him, get 226 00:09:32,028 --> 00:09:34,668 Speaker 6: offensive linemen around him, and he cannot take sixty eight 227 00:09:34,708 --> 00:09:37,068 Speaker 6: sacks every year. Now, I know some of those are 228 00:09:37,108 --> 00:09:38,508 Speaker 6: on Caleb. I'm not going to just say that it's 229 00:09:38,508 --> 00:09:40,628 Speaker 6: the offensive line's fault. He holds the ball sometimes too long. 230 00:09:40,668 --> 00:09:42,588 Speaker 6: He can help himself by throwing away and trying to 231 00:09:42,588 --> 00:09:44,588 Speaker 6: picking up some of those extra yards. The superman Clark 232 00:09:44,628 --> 00:09:47,188 Speaker 6: can't in comparison, right, No one to eat it. 233 00:09:47,228 --> 00:09:47,828 Speaker 2: No when to go down. 234 00:09:47,828 --> 00:09:49,628 Speaker 6: The defense is going to win some that's okay, don't 235 00:09:49,668 --> 00:09:52,428 Speaker 6: compound the problem. But he is not going to last long, 236 00:09:52,428 --> 00:09:54,028 Speaker 6: whether you like him, whether you don't, whether you think 237 00:09:54,068 --> 00:09:56,308 Speaker 6: he's the answer, if he continues to take hits like 238 00:09:56,348 --> 00:09:58,428 Speaker 6: he is. So I love that they're addressing offensive line 239 00:09:58,468 --> 00:10:01,228 Speaker 6: because it shows that they really love their investment in Calebly, 240 00:10:01,388 --> 00:10:01,988 Speaker 6: I want to look at. 241 00:10:01,948 --> 00:10:03,788 Speaker 3: You two guys at the front of the table here. DeMarco, 242 00:10:03,828 --> 00:10:05,748 Speaker 3: you are the side line analysts for the La Rams. 243 00:10:05,788 --> 00:10:07,988 Speaker 3: We played for the Rams. You are a Cowboys fan. 244 00:10:08,108 --> 00:10:10,908 Speaker 3: You guys live within the NFC. You watch the NFC 245 00:10:10,948 --> 00:10:13,228 Speaker 3: North unfold. Last year, the Vikings were on one. The 246 00:10:13,268 --> 00:10:15,988 Speaker 3: Lions looked great, the Packers held their own. Is there 247 00:10:16,068 --> 00:10:20,388 Speaker 3: something that the NFC North is quite powerful? There's something 248 00:10:20,428 --> 00:10:22,668 Speaker 3: to fight with here? Or is it right for the 249 00:10:22,668 --> 00:10:24,748 Speaker 3: Bears to bubble up to the surface a little bit? 250 00:10:24,788 --> 00:10:26,988 Speaker 3: Just give me a state of living in the NFC. 251 00:10:27,228 --> 00:10:28,828 Speaker 3: Just look directly at the North from me. 252 00:10:28,988 --> 00:10:32,668 Speaker 7: Okay, So I'm not sure if the Lions could overcome 253 00:10:32,668 --> 00:10:35,388 Speaker 7: the loss of two of their coordinators. I know Jared 254 00:10:35,388 --> 00:10:38,068 Speaker 7: Goff's not going anywhere, and Detroit is not going to 255 00:10:38,148 --> 00:10:40,628 Speaker 7: lose what they've gained over the last couple of seasons. 256 00:10:40,868 --> 00:10:44,868 Speaker 7: They are Super Bowl contenders, but we'll see. This is 257 00:10:44,908 --> 00:10:47,548 Speaker 7: new for them. Green Bay, I had to adjust how 258 00:10:47,588 --> 00:10:49,588 Speaker 7: I felt about Jordan Love. I have to put him 259 00:10:49,628 --> 00:10:51,588 Speaker 7: in with one of the great quarterbacks in the league 260 00:10:51,588 --> 00:10:53,908 Speaker 7: because Green Bay has been pretty good since he's been 261 00:10:53,988 --> 00:10:54,628 Speaker 7: quarterback there. 262 00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:57,068 Speaker 2: But the Bears, the Bears to. 263 00:10:57,028 --> 00:11:00,468 Speaker 7: Me, have always been their brand has been physical and defense, 264 00:11:00,828 --> 00:11:03,308 Speaker 7: and they've been anything but over the last couple of years. 265 00:11:03,348 --> 00:11:06,428 Speaker 7: So it's weird. I know, you have to support the quarterback. 266 00:11:06,508 --> 00:11:08,228 Speaker 7: Like I said, it's tough to play there. But if 267 00:11:08,308 --> 00:11:10,748 Speaker 7: the Chicago Bears want to get back into the race 268 00:11:10,788 --> 00:11:12,708 Speaker 7: in the North, they're going to have to get physical. 269 00:11:12,748 --> 00:11:14,988 Speaker 7: I like what Kyle said, They're going to push people around. 270 00:11:15,268 --> 00:11:17,668 Speaker 7: That's a good start, that's how you developed that brand. 271 00:11:17,708 --> 00:11:21,308 Speaker 7: But yeah, I mean to get to where Chicago needs 272 00:11:21,348 --> 00:11:22,788 Speaker 7: to be in the North, it's going to be a 273 00:11:22,828 --> 00:11:25,868 Speaker 7: tough road to hope. Maybe the rest of the division 274 00:11:25,908 --> 00:11:28,468 Speaker 7: comes back to them and they ascend. But it all 275 00:11:28,508 --> 00:11:31,588 Speaker 7: starts and ends with what Caleb Williams brings you at quarterback. 276 00:11:31,748 --> 00:11:34,628 Speaker 8: I think Minnesota takes a step back just because if 277 00:11:35,468 --> 00:11:39,468 Speaker 8: McCarthy is ready. I think Starnold had an incredible year. 278 00:11:40,588 --> 00:11:43,988 Speaker 8: I don't know if McCarthy's going to be quite as efficient. 279 00:11:44,108 --> 00:11:46,708 Speaker 8: And I think the Vikings were just had an incredible 280 00:11:46,788 --> 00:11:50,908 Speaker 8: run flash. I think the Lions will their pieces are 281 00:11:50,908 --> 00:11:53,668 Speaker 8: in place. They're going to be solid in stay. So 282 00:11:54,108 --> 00:11:56,948 Speaker 8: Chicago could ascend to that number two spot. I think 283 00:11:56,988 --> 00:12:00,188 Speaker 8: they could. Yeah, because I just love Kayleb Williams, because yeah. 284 00:12:00,028 --> 00:12:04,388 Speaker 3: Sooner, Kyle, anything else you want to get off your chain, 285 00:12:04,548 --> 00:12:07,548 Speaker 3: since you wanted to appropriately therapize and correct why the 286 00:12:07,588 --> 00:12:09,948 Speaker 3: lower third is existing right there? Anything else you got 287 00:12:09,948 --> 00:12:11,508 Speaker 3: on the Bears that you want to well. 288 00:12:11,428 --> 00:12:13,028 Speaker 2: I'm good. Other than I correct myself. 289 00:12:13,588 --> 00:12:15,828 Speaker 5: I mentioned that the Dolphins head and Durham Smite that 290 00:12:15,868 --> 00:12:17,908 Speaker 5: they may get him. They've got him, like he's going 291 00:12:17,948 --> 00:12:20,548 Speaker 5: to the Bears. Rap sheet has reported it, and listen, 292 00:12:21,148 --> 00:12:23,468 Speaker 5: you may sit at home. Durham Smythe Durham Smite is 293 00:12:23,468 --> 00:12:25,468 Speaker 5: a blocking tight end. He is really good at it. 294 00:12:25,508 --> 00:12:27,748 Speaker 5: Going back to college. He is a tough, physical guy. 295 00:12:28,388 --> 00:12:30,988 Speaker 5: Ben Johnson, they're showing their hand right now, guys, they're 296 00:12:31,028 --> 00:12:33,108 Speaker 5: showing their hand. We're going to protect and we're going 297 00:12:33,188 --> 00:12:35,908 Speaker 5: to punch. It's going to be a physical team for 298 00:12:35,988 --> 00:12:39,228 Speaker 5: all the trick plays and the flea flickers that's coming. 299 00:12:39,628 --> 00:12:42,588 Speaker 5: But they are starting with the steak and then they 300 00:12:42,588 --> 00:12:44,748 Speaker 5: will get to the sugar, not the other way around 301 00:12:44,748 --> 00:12:46,228 Speaker 5: that they had the last couple of years, and I 302 00:12:46,308 --> 00:12:46,468 Speaker 5: like it. 303 00:12:46,588 --> 00:12:48,788 Speaker 3: Kyle, can you give us just a quick geographical reference 304 00:12:48,788 --> 00:12:51,188 Speaker 3: for the Viager Triangle in Chicago just for those who 305 00:12:51,268 --> 00:12:54,028 Speaker 3: heard that correctly, if. 306 00:12:53,868 --> 00:12:55,548 Speaker 2: Anyone doesn't know what that term means. 307 00:12:55,708 --> 00:12:59,268 Speaker 5: Okay, So right in downtown Chicago, there is this cool 308 00:12:59,308 --> 00:13:01,988 Speaker 5: little era and it is cool where there's very expensive 309 00:13:02,028 --> 00:13:05,068 Speaker 5: steakhouses and very expensive restaurants and it's very touristy. 310 00:13:05,628 --> 00:13:07,308 Speaker 2: But as it was explained to me. 311 00:13:07,388 --> 00:13:09,828 Speaker 5: They call it the Viagra triangle because let's say that 312 00:13:09,908 --> 00:13:12,628 Speaker 5: there are a lot of like, kind of slick fat 313 00:13:12,708 --> 00:13:16,028 Speaker 5: cats who are maybe with like in their fifties, maybe sixties, 314 00:13:16,028 --> 00:13:20,108 Speaker 5: maybe even seventies, who are looking for friends at the restaurants. 315 00:13:20,228 --> 00:13:22,908 Speaker 5: And if you want that kind of person and you 316 00:13:22,908 --> 00:13:24,988 Speaker 5: want to date that kind of person, there they are 317 00:13:25,068 --> 00:13:27,548 Speaker 5: waiting for you.

Let's start with 325 00:13:49,948 --> 00:13:52,628 Speaker 3: one of the big paydays or extensions if you will, 326 00:13:52,668 --> 00:13:53,908 Speaker 3: that happened in Vegas yesterday. 327 00:13:54,908 --> 00:13:58,548 Speaker 4: That's right, a massive three year extension for Max Crosby. 328 00:13:58,908 --> 00:14:01,668 Speaker 2: Not a free agent acquisition, but really just as good. 329 00:14:01,588 --> 00:14:03,948 Speaker 4: As one, because had this deal not gone through, had 330 00:14:03,988 --> 00:14:07,588 Speaker 4: Max not really bought into the new Raiders regime, that 331 00:14:07,668 --> 00:14:09,828 Speaker 4: was very real chance that he was going to be 332 00:14:09,868 --> 00:14:11,868 Speaker 4: on the move. He wanted to see a clear plan, 333 00:14:12,308 --> 00:14:14,908 Speaker 4: wanted to be locked in long term, and the Raiders 334 00:14:14,908 --> 00:14:15,668 Speaker 4: got it done in. 335 00:14:15,628 --> 00:14:18,148 Speaker 2: A way that I would say, rarely do you see 336 00:14:18,188 --> 00:14:18,868 Speaker 2: what the Raiders. 337 00:14:18,868 --> 00:14:22,428 Speaker 4: It was clean, it was decisive, it was fast, and 338 00:14:22,468 --> 00:14:25,388 Speaker 4: it made Max Crosby highly paid. It's a three year, 339 00:14:25,428 --> 00:14:27,588 Speaker 4: one hundred and six point five million dollar deal, ninety 340 00:14:27,628 --> 00:14:31,268 Speaker 4: one point five million dollars guaranteed key number here, thirty 341 00:14:31,308 --> 00:14:34,468 Speaker 4: five point five million dollars average per year new money. 342 00:14:34,708 --> 00:14:37,148 Speaker 4: That makes him the highest paid edge in the NFL 343 00:14:37,468 --> 00:14:41,308 Speaker 4: and sets the market for guys like Michael Parsons, Miles Garrett, 344 00:14:41,348 --> 00:14:44,708 Speaker 4: and potentially Trey Hendrickson. We also had some news in 345 00:14:44,748 --> 00:14:47,788 Speaker 4: the edge market late last night. Joey Bosa, one of 346 00:14:47,828 --> 00:14:51,628 Speaker 4: the faces of the Chargers franchise, five time pro bowler 347 00:14:51,668 --> 00:14:54,828 Speaker 4: one of the most highly paid defensive ends in the NFL, 348 00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:56,908 Speaker 4: was informed of his release. 349 00:14:57,028 --> 00:14:58,308 Speaker 2: There was some questions. 350 00:14:57,948 --> 00:15:00,308 Speaker 4: About whether or not the Chargers would want to back. 351 00:15:00,308 --> 00:15:02,268 Speaker 4: In fact, they did want to back, just had a 352 00:15:02,268 --> 00:15:05,428 Speaker 4: smaller number saves about twenty five million against the Cat. 353 00:15:05,668 --> 00:15:08,708 Speaker 4: Theoretically there's a chance he could end up returning there, 354 00:15:09,188 --> 00:15:12,228 Speaker 4: but don't be surprised if at least the San Francisco 355 00:15:12,308 --> 00:15:17,108 Speaker 4: forty nine ers consider consider bringing in Joey Bosha alongside 356 00:15:17,228 --> 00:15:19,748 Speaker 4: Nick Bosa on the edges for San Francisco. 357 00:15:21,228 --> 00:15:23,548 Speaker 5: It's really cool. It'd be like if TJ and JJ 358 00:15:23,708 --> 00:15:24,628 Speaker 5: had ever played together. 359 00:15:24,668 --> 00:15:26,668 Speaker 2: We'll see what happens in the meantime. Ian. 360 00:15:26,748 --> 00:15:28,908 Speaker 5: I don't know if the Bears need another wide receiver, 361 00:15:29,028 --> 00:15:31,988 Speaker 5: but the Hariboo company that makes gummy bears and gummy 362 00:15:32,028 --> 00:15:35,228 Speaker 5: worms is located in Chicago, Illinois, so it might be 363 00:15:35,268 --> 00:15:38,228 Speaker 5: a desirable landing spot for Dk Metcalf, who lives on 364 00:15:38,308 --> 00:15:41,748 Speaker 5: those things. He wants out of Seattle. Tell us everything 365 00:15:41,788 --> 00:15:42,588 Speaker 5: and where this is going. 366 00:15:44,468 --> 00:15:47,548 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that company exists mainly because of my kids, 367 00:15:47,588 --> 00:15:49,348 Speaker 4: Max and Jude, who eat those things. 368 00:15:49,188 --> 00:15:49,788 Speaker 2: All the time. 369 00:15:49,908 --> 00:15:52,468 Speaker 4: Every snack is about some sort of harriboo you got, 370 00:15:52,508 --> 00:15:56,028 Speaker 4: like the cherries, you got the snakes anyway, Yep, yeah, 371 00:15:56,068 --> 00:15:59,228 Speaker 4: a lot there. Yes, let's talk about DK Metcalf and 372 00:15:59,308 --> 00:16:02,148 Speaker 4: his trade request from Seattle. 373 00:16:02,268 --> 00:16:02,668 Speaker 2: Yes. Ay. 374 00:16:02,748 --> 00:16:06,108 Speaker 4: Sources told me and Collie Tompos that these conversations, which 375 00:16:06,108 --> 00:16:08,268 Speaker 4: have been going on for the course of the last 376 00:16:08,308 --> 00:16:11,228 Speaker 4: I would take two months really ever since the season ended, 377 00:16:11,468 --> 00:16:14,188 Speaker 4: came to it yesterday he met with Seattle Brass and 378 00:16:14,268 --> 00:16:18,308 Speaker 4: Gordon Love his request to seek a trade. They've agreed 379 00:16:18,308 --> 00:16:20,548 Speaker 4: to at least explore. Now the price is going to 380 00:16:20,588 --> 00:16:23,548 Speaker 4: be high. He's going to want a new contract, but 381 00:16:23,628 --> 00:16:26,708 Speaker 4: there are in fact several teams interested. He would be, 382 00:16:26,788 --> 00:16:30,028 Speaker 4: no doubt the top receiver available. Those other good receivers 383 00:16:30,068 --> 00:16:32,068 Speaker 4: available at the free agent market, but a lot of 384 00:16:32,068 --> 00:16:35,508 Speaker 4: them are older. This is a twenty seven year old 385 00:16:35,548 --> 00:16:38,068 Speaker 4: in his prime, does want a new deal, but yes. 386 00:16:37,948 --> 00:16:39,548 Speaker 2: Teams are going to be inquiring. 387 00:16:39,748 --> 00:16:42,668 Speaker 4: And then Seattle also said goodbye to one of their legends, 388 00:16:43,028 --> 00:16:46,428 Speaker 4: Tyler Lockett, the veteran receiver made some of the biggest 389 00:16:46,428 --> 00:16:49,508 Speaker 4: plays for Seattle over the last decade, was deformed. 390 00:16:49,148 --> 00:16:51,108 Speaker 2: Of his release, and it's sad. 391 00:16:51,228 --> 00:16:53,828 Speaker 4: Releases are always sad, but this one was sort of 392 00:16:53,868 --> 00:16:57,028 Speaker 4: like a mutual hug. Seahawk said thank you, Lockett said 393 00:16:57,068 --> 00:17:00,148 Speaker 4: thank you, just agreed to kind of move apart, go 394 00:17:00,188 --> 00:17:02,908 Speaker 4: their separate ways with appreciation of what one has done 395 00:17:02,948 --> 00:17:05,148 Speaker 4: for the other. I would imagine he will be a 396 00:17:05,268 --> 00:17:08,988 Speaker 4: highly honored member of that franchise moving forward as of 397 00:17:09,068 --> 00:17:10,228 Speaker 4: now sixty and eighteen. 398 00:17:10,548 --> 00:17:12,428 Speaker 3: All right, well, at least the candy shelves will be 399 00:17:12,428 --> 00:17:15,468 Speaker 3: safe in Seattle moving forward, maybe if the Seahawks are 400 00:17:15,508 --> 00:17:17,908 Speaker 3: able to execute this. It's the rap sheet kids and 401 00:17:17,948 --> 00:17:19,948 Speaker 3: it's DK Metcalf that are into the gummy bears. We've 402 00:17:19,948 --> 00:17:22,708 Speaker 3: got that all straight. Let's get into DK Metcalf, because 403 00:17:22,788 --> 00:17:25,308 Speaker 3: this was massive news yesterday. Once you move on from 404 00:17:25,348 --> 00:17:27,828 Speaker 3: one wide receiver to have the room look at themselves, 405 00:17:27,908 --> 00:17:29,988 Speaker 3: Kyle and say no, I don't want to be here 406 00:17:30,028 --> 00:17:30,748 Speaker 3: anymore either. 407 00:17:30,988 --> 00:17:32,308 Speaker 2: What was your initial. 408 00:17:31,948 --> 00:17:35,828 Speaker 3: Reaction to this massive star within the NFL and a 409 00:17:35,868 --> 00:17:38,748 Speaker 3: big time wide receiver that oftentimes in last coal beers 410 00:17:38,788 --> 00:17:41,028 Speaker 3: had been just used as a decoy within this offense. 411 00:17:42,388 --> 00:17:43,668 Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of that going around. 412 00:17:43,788 --> 00:17:45,628 Speaker 5: Is that you got big name guys and big contract 413 00:17:45,628 --> 00:17:48,908 Speaker 5: guys looking around and saying, what am I doing here? 414 00:17:49,108 --> 00:17:50,948 Speaker 2: What's the future? What are we up to? DK? 415 00:17:51,068 --> 00:17:53,628 Speaker 5: Six seasons in, he's twenty seven years old and he 416 00:17:53,708 --> 00:17:55,948 Speaker 5: wants a fresh start. It's same deal with Miles Garrett 417 00:17:55,988 --> 00:17:58,108 Speaker 5: a little bit older. But it's like, I think I 418 00:17:58,188 --> 00:18:01,308 Speaker 5: might have spent enough time here. I think if you're 419 00:18:01,348 --> 00:18:03,188 Speaker 5: looking at DK Metcalf to go and get him, and 420 00:18:03,228 --> 00:18:05,508 Speaker 5: if you're a fan base who wants k Metcalf, I 421 00:18:05,628 --> 00:18:07,708 Speaker 5: just look at it as a very expensive luxury item. 422 00:18:08,228 --> 00:18:11,748 Speaker 5: This is a Ferrari. Not in the physical sense I'm 423 00:18:11,748 --> 00:18:14,268 Speaker 5: talking this. I'm just talking about in terms of the expense, 424 00:18:14,348 --> 00:18:14,988 Speaker 5: the splash. 425 00:18:15,188 --> 00:18:16,468 Speaker 2: It is going to be very expensive. 426 00:18:16,468 --> 00:18:18,948 Speaker 5: Like Ian said, like the big time draft picks and 427 00:18:18,988 --> 00:18:19,868 Speaker 5: then big time money. 428 00:18:20,188 --> 00:18:21,308 Speaker 2: If you are a team. 429 00:18:21,068 --> 00:18:25,188 Speaker 5: That has your quarterback situation set, who has your defensive end, 430 00:18:25,268 --> 00:18:27,908 Speaker 5: who has your left tackle, you got all the pieces, 431 00:18:27,908 --> 00:18:30,068 Speaker 5: and you got a coach and you think like, I 432 00:18:30,068 --> 00:18:32,428 Speaker 5: don't know, I want to kind of do for our 433 00:18:32,508 --> 00:18:34,828 Speaker 5: team what aj Brown did for the Eagles, and one 434 00:18:34,828 --> 00:18:36,508 Speaker 5: of those things where you add the big time and 435 00:18:36,548 --> 00:18:38,468 Speaker 5: you're going to spend This is going to be very, 436 00:18:38,828 --> 00:18:39,788 Speaker 5: very expensive. 437 00:18:40,308 --> 00:18:41,508 Speaker 2: But if you're a team. 438 00:18:41,228 --> 00:18:43,388 Speaker 5: That you have a home and you have your kids 439 00:18:43,428 --> 00:18:45,348 Speaker 5: taking care of and you just are like, damn it, 440 00:18:45,388 --> 00:18:47,588 Speaker 5: I'm buying a Ferrari, Well, then there's one right there 441 00:18:47,628 --> 00:18:49,428 Speaker 5: who wants out of his current home right now, go 442 00:18:49,548 --> 00:18:49,868 Speaker 5: get it. 443 00:18:50,108 --> 00:18:51,348 Speaker 2: Other than that, and if you. 444 00:18:51,348 --> 00:18:53,628 Speaker 5: Don't have all your stuff taken care of, I would 445 00:18:53,708 --> 00:18:55,308 Speaker 5: move on to the next asset because you're going to 446 00:18:55,348 --> 00:18:56,148 Speaker 5: pay through the teeth for this. 447 00:18:57,228 --> 00:18:59,308 Speaker 6: Yeah, and we talked about it earlier. The team that 448 00:18:59,348 --> 00:19:01,668 Speaker 6: comes to mind is the New England Patriots. If I'm 449 00:19:01,788 --> 00:19:03,388 Speaker 6: Drake May, I am on the phone right now. I'm 450 00:19:03,428 --> 00:19:05,908 Speaker 6: at the front doorstep Mike Rabel's office saying we need 451 00:19:05,948 --> 00:19:08,108 Speaker 6: to get this man in New England. But first I'll 452 00:19:08,148 --> 00:19:09,508 Speaker 6: say this, I want to give a shout out to 453 00:19:09,548 --> 00:19:12,428 Speaker 6: Tyler Locket. Unbelievable wide receiver, so much fun to watch, 454 00:19:12,428 --> 00:19:14,228 Speaker 6: someone that I watched when I was in the league. 455 00:19:14,228 --> 00:19:17,708 Speaker 2: He's just such a great player, the king of not taking. 456 00:19:17,468 --> 00:19:20,428 Speaker 6: Hits, right, that's even so good catching the ball, getting down, 457 00:19:20,668 --> 00:19:23,108 Speaker 6: not taking unnecessary hits. And that's why you laugh so 458 00:19:23,148 --> 00:19:25,588 Speaker 6: long in the NFL. So he's going to be missing Seattle. 459 00:19:25,708 --> 00:19:27,588 Speaker 2: The other thing too, I'll say about DK, it's interesting. 460 00:19:27,628 --> 00:19:29,628 Speaker 2: I mean, it's not like they're a team that's struggling. 461 00:19:29,628 --> 00:19:30,708 Speaker 2: They won ten games last year. 462 00:19:30,708 --> 00:19:32,308 Speaker 6: I know he only had five touchdowns, didn't get to 463 00:19:32,348 --> 00:19:34,908 Speaker 6: a thousand yards, but I was surprised when DK said that. 464 00:19:34,908 --> 00:19:36,908 Speaker 6: But the guy that comes to mind for me is 465 00:19:36,988 --> 00:19:39,308 Speaker 6: Jackson Smith and Jigbum And I know we can't put 466 00:19:39,308 --> 00:19:41,948 Speaker 6: the tweet up, but he said on Twitter. 467 00:19:41,628 --> 00:19:42,908 Speaker 2: Basically, what the heck is going on? 468 00:19:42,988 --> 00:19:43,108 Speaker 4: Right? 469 00:19:43,268 --> 00:19:44,188 Speaker 2: Everyone's leaving now? 470 00:19:44,228 --> 00:19:47,068 Speaker 6: Tyler Lockett's released DK Metcalf wants out, what does that 471 00:19:47,108 --> 00:19:48,668 Speaker 6: mean for me? Well, he's on a rookie contract, so 472 00:19:48,708 --> 00:19:49,828 Speaker 6: he can't do anything about it. 473 00:19:49,948 --> 00:19:50,948 Speaker 2: But it's just for me. 474 00:19:50,988 --> 00:19:53,748 Speaker 6: It's really interesting what is going on in Seattle right 475 00:19:53,748 --> 00:19:55,228 Speaker 6: now because the first question you asked us are they 476 00:19:55,228 --> 00:19:57,628 Speaker 6: going to a rebuild? Is you know, what's the future 477 00:19:57,628 --> 00:19:59,948 Speaker 6: like for Gino Smith? What's the future like for that offense? 478 00:19:59,988 --> 00:20:01,788 Speaker 6: So I don't know, but if i'm Drake May, I'm 479 00:20:01,788 --> 00:20:03,388 Speaker 6: telling you right now, I'm on the phone saying let's 480 00:20:03,428 --> 00:20:05,308 Speaker 6: get DK Metcalf to New England. 481 00:20:05,668 --> 00:20:07,828 Speaker 8: I think the other great fit for him would be 482 00:20:07,868 --> 00:20:11,188 Speaker 8: Green Bay. That if you carried him opposite Jayden Reid. 483 00:20:11,228 --> 00:20:12,908 Speaker 8: I think one of the problems with Green Bay is 484 00:20:12,948 --> 00:20:15,308 Speaker 8: they've got a bunch of, you know, second tier guys. 485 00:20:15,348 --> 00:20:19,068 Speaker 8: If you added DK Metcalf to Christian Watson and Jayden Reid, 486 00:20:19,308 --> 00:20:21,628 Speaker 8: I think Jordan Love takes a huge leap. 487 00:20:22,068 --> 00:20:24,188 Speaker 6: I agree, and that would probably Incord Metcalf. 488 00:20:24,228 --> 00:20:26,868 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I go up and get it. 489 00:20:27,068 --> 00:20:29,668 Speaker 7: I do wonder what Metcalf would do and would he 490 00:20:29,908 --> 00:20:32,148 Speaker 7: like going to play with Drake May. I mean Russell 491 00:20:32,148 --> 00:20:34,468 Speaker 7: Wilson was his quarterback. Geno Smith was his quarterback. I 492 00:20:34,468 --> 00:20:36,788 Speaker 7: don't know where you have them ranked, but to go 493 00:20:36,868 --> 00:20:38,548 Speaker 7: to a Drake May, I wondered what. 494 00:20:38,548 --> 00:20:39,348 Speaker 2: That interest him. 495 00:20:39,828 --> 00:20:42,188 Speaker 7: If I'm him, I want to go to some ghost 496 00:20:42,228 --> 00:20:43,988 Speaker 7: some place where they have an elite quarterback where I 497 00:20:43,988 --> 00:20:45,268 Speaker 7: can show all my skills. 498 00:20:45,708 --> 00:20:46,588 Speaker 2: And I agree with you. 499 00:20:47,348 --> 00:20:51,028 Speaker 7: Lockett to me was by far the scarier receiver of 500 00:20:51,068 --> 00:20:54,308 Speaker 7: the two. Dk Metcalf was a lot of sizzle, not 501 00:20:54,428 --> 00:20:55,148 Speaker 7: a ton of steak. 502 00:20:55,548 --> 00:20:58,108 Speaker 2: He looks the part. He is. Scary is all get 503 00:20:58,108 --> 00:20:58,508 Speaker 2: out when. 504 00:20:58,428 --> 00:21:00,468 Speaker 7: You see the guy warm up, but when the game happens, 505 00:21:00,588 --> 00:21:02,548 Speaker 7: I don't know. Sometimes he just checks out. He makes 506 00:21:02,588 --> 00:21:05,348 Speaker 7: a lot of mistakes and they seem to be not 507 00:21:05,468 --> 00:21:08,188 Speaker 7: in sync a lot. So if I'm him and you 508 00:21:08,428 --> 00:21:10,468 Speaker 7: think you're better than what you are, I think I'm 509 00:21:10,508 --> 00:21:12,988 Speaker 7: headed to a place to where I know that guy 510 00:21:13,028 --> 00:21:15,748 Speaker 7: is elite, maybe headed for Canton someday that can deliver 511 00:21:15,828 --> 00:21:17,228 Speaker 7: me the football when I needed most. 512 00:21:18,388 --> 00:21:19,708 Speaker 2: Regardless of how much I. 513 00:21:20,068 --> 00:21:22,668 Speaker 5: Think Josh is all over it, I think Josh I 514 00:21:22,788 --> 00:21:24,508 Speaker 5: like the Packers pick a lot and let's just pull 515 00:21:24,508 --> 00:21:26,828 Speaker 5: from the headlines. Back during Super Bowl Week, their star 516 00:21:26,948 --> 00:21:29,468 Speaker 5: running back Josh Jacobs is going around radio row saying 517 00:21:29,708 --> 00:21:32,188 Speaker 5: we need a number one receiver. He wasn't mixing words 518 00:21:32,188 --> 00:21:34,228 Speaker 5: at all. So we got guys, we need a guy 519 00:21:34,228 --> 00:21:36,508 Speaker 5: who is a proven number one. And watching the Packers 520 00:21:36,588 --> 00:21:38,668 Speaker 5: last year, they're one of these teams has a nice 521 00:21:38,708 --> 00:21:41,948 Speaker 5: collection of wide receivers. There's some talented guys. There is 522 00:21:42,068 --> 00:21:46,268 Speaker 5: obviously not that guy. There is not a AJ Brown, 523 00:21:46,308 --> 00:21:49,268 Speaker 5: there is not a Jamar Chase. There is not you know, 524 00:21:49,308 --> 00:21:51,828 Speaker 5: the Bills version of steff On Diggs. And when Diggs 525 00:21:51,828 --> 00:21:54,588 Speaker 5: got added to the Bills, Josh Allen skyrocket and let's 526 00:21:54,588 --> 00:21:57,468 Speaker 5: do something for Jordan Love that that season last year, 527 00:21:57,508 --> 00:21:58,868 Speaker 5: that certainly the end of it was not up to 528 00:21:58,868 --> 00:22:01,228 Speaker 5: the Packers standard. It's not up to the Matt Lafleur standards. 529 00:22:01,308 --> 00:22:03,028 Speaker 5: And when you have the star running back just saying 530 00:22:03,068 --> 00:22:05,828 Speaker 5: what everyone else is thinking that we got some good receivers, 531 00:22:05,908 --> 00:22:09,148 Speaker 5: we need a real number one receiver. I don't know 532 00:22:09,348 --> 00:22:11,468 Speaker 5: those kind of moved for green Bay. Maybe a little 533 00:22:11,468 --> 00:22:13,748 Speaker 5: out of character to spend the draft picks and the 534 00:22:13,748 --> 00:22:15,828 Speaker 5: capitol they're going to have to do to get DK Metcalf. 535 00:22:16,028 --> 00:22:18,028 Speaker 5: But man, if he jumps into green Bay, that shock 536 00:22:18,028 --> 00:22:20,028 Speaker 5: and all stuff right there, I would like him absolutely. 537 00:22:20,308 --> 00:22:23,028 Speaker 3: So it was twenty nineteen DK Metcalf comes out when 538 00:22:23,068 --> 00:22:25,188 Speaker 3: he was on the scene, Kyle, you guys were a 539 00:22:25,228 --> 00:22:28,468 Speaker 3: couple of years into GMFB. He used this massive, dude, 540 00:22:28,948 --> 00:22:31,548 Speaker 3: big personality and he goes to Seattle. Can you just say, 541 00:22:31,748 --> 00:22:34,988 Speaker 3: refresh us on what the expectation was for dk Metcalf 542 00:22:35,028 --> 00:22:37,548 Speaker 3: coming into the NFL. And when a guy asks to 543 00:22:37,628 --> 00:22:40,668 Speaker 3: leave a team and resets his own identity, maybe he's 544 00:22:40,668 --> 00:22:43,868 Speaker 3: in an offense, Like what is the outlook for him 545 00:22:43,988 --> 00:22:45,788 Speaker 3: within a new team, whether it may be the. 546 00:22:45,748 --> 00:22:46,388 Speaker 2: Packers or not. 547 00:22:47,788 --> 00:22:50,188 Speaker 5: Well, Mattcalf's entry into the league is always hilarious for me. 548 00:22:50,228 --> 00:22:52,268 Speaker 5: It always sticks out because it is a perfect example 549 00:22:52,308 --> 00:22:57,348 Speaker 5: of NFL draft bs schlock analysis. People didn't like him 550 00:22:57,348 --> 00:23:00,028 Speaker 5: in the draft, and you could look it up. It's like, well, 551 00:23:00,628 --> 00:23:03,428 Speaker 5: you know, his hips are a little high coming out 552 00:23:03,428 --> 00:23:04,068 Speaker 5: of his routes. 553 00:23:04,828 --> 00:23:07,428 Speaker 2: Look at him. Just take a picture of him and 554 00:23:07,468 --> 00:23:10,388 Speaker 2: look at his body. Watch the tape of him. 555 00:23:10,548 --> 00:23:13,068 Speaker 5: I understand you have a job to do and talk 556 00:23:13,108 --> 00:23:16,188 Speaker 5: about his catch radius. And then people passed on him. 557 00:23:16,348 --> 00:23:18,068 Speaker 5: You could look it up. The people who were drafted 558 00:23:18,068 --> 00:23:19,628 Speaker 5: in front of him, I'm not gonna mention their names, 559 00:23:19,868 --> 00:23:23,028 Speaker 5: infamous infamous names. Then Wiley Pete Carroll comes in and 560 00:23:23,028 --> 00:23:25,468 Speaker 5: two seconds later, Pete's ripping his shirt off to show 561 00:23:25,628 --> 00:23:28,308 Speaker 5: DK that he still got it. And he was awesome 562 00:23:28,308 --> 00:23:31,188 Speaker 5: from the get go. So he's also a cautionary tale. 563 00:23:31,348 --> 00:23:31,748 Speaker 2: Look at it. 564 00:23:32,068 --> 00:23:33,948 Speaker 5: Look at this guy's hips are two inches too Hi 565 00:23:34,068 --> 00:23:34,948 Speaker 5: come out of his route, So. 566 00:23:34,948 --> 00:23:37,468 Speaker 2: We're gonna pass on him? What are we doing? Just 567 00:23:37,628 --> 00:23:38,268 Speaker 2: drap them? 568 00:23:38,588 --> 00:23:41,028 Speaker 5: I will always think of this of like I understand, 569 00:23:41,068 --> 00:23:43,068 Speaker 5: the analysis gets really deep, and that's some of the 570 00:23:43,068 --> 00:23:45,068 Speaker 5: stuff we celebrate. You know what I like more than 571 00:23:45,068 --> 00:23:48,188 Speaker 5: the analysis. I just like the anatomy. I like it better. 572 00:23:48,468 --> 00:23:51,468 Speaker 5: And this guy's second to none. If there's a dude 573 00:23:51,468 --> 00:23:55,268 Speaker 5: who's a super freak physically, maybe you don't let yourself 574 00:23:55,308 --> 00:23:58,948 Speaker 5: be hissh hooked by deep, deep, deep minutia about his 575 00:23:59,268 --> 00:23:59,828 Speaker 5: route running. 576 00:23:59,908 --> 00:24:02,468 Speaker 2: Go get him. I just remember. 577 00:24:02,508 --> 00:24:05,068 Speaker 3: A couple of years later, the Seahawks as a show 578 00:24:05,188 --> 00:24:07,748 Speaker 3: go to Munich, Germany, and the Seahawks are playing the 579 00:24:07,788 --> 00:24:10,668 Speaker 3: first ever regular season game in the NFL in Germany, 580 00:24:11,028 --> 00:24:13,948 Speaker 3: and it's the Seahawks and it's the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 581 00:24:14,108 --> 00:24:16,348 Speaker 3: And this guy gets off the plane and has to 582 00:24:16,348 --> 00:24:19,308 Speaker 3: find a cheeseburger immediately in the land of Meat and 583 00:24:19,348 --> 00:24:22,068 Speaker 3: potatoes DK back off of just walking around the streets 584 00:24:22,068 --> 00:24:24,668 Speaker 3: of Germany like I landed. I wanted to stay awake, 585 00:24:24,708 --> 00:24:26,508 Speaker 3: and he went out and find of Germany a cheese 586 00:24:26,508 --> 00:24:28,188 Speaker 3: steak and cheeseburger in Germany. 587 00:24:28,228 --> 00:24:28,868 Speaker 5: Excuse me and. 588 00:24:28,868 --> 00:24:30,468 Speaker 3: The fact that he still looks like that needs all 589 00:24:30,468 --> 00:24:32,628 Speaker 3: the kiddie we can't wait. This is a new found 590 00:24:32,668 --> 00:24:35,068 Speaker 3: excitement that we might see in free agency. Frenzy not 591 00:24:35,068 --> 00:24:37,268 Speaker 3: a free agent, I get that, but it's gonna take 592 00:24:37,308 --> 00:24:39,628 Speaker 3: something for a teams again. I'm basically exactly. 593 00:24:43,948 --> 00:24:44,668 Speaker 2: I love playing. 594 00:24:44,668 --> 00:24:46,108 Speaker 9: I still feel like I could play it at a 595 00:24:46,188 --> 00:24:49,268 Speaker 9: high level, and possibly at a higher level than I 596 00:24:49,268 --> 00:24:51,148 Speaker 9: did last year. I don't think it was my best outing, 597 00:24:51,388 --> 00:24:54,948 Speaker 9: you know. I think I let my guys down in 598 00:24:54,988 --> 00:24:57,148 Speaker 9: a lot more moments than I than I helped them, 599 00:24:57,948 --> 00:24:59,788 Speaker 9: especially if you look at my track record and how 600 00:24:59,788 --> 00:25:04,428 Speaker 9: I've been in years past. I just, you know, I 601 00:25:04,428 --> 00:25:05,948 Speaker 9: I want to give it a good run. I got 602 00:25:05,948 --> 00:25:07,788 Speaker 9: a bad taste in my mouth on how I ended 603 00:25:07,788 --> 00:25:10,428 Speaker 9: the year and and uh, how well I was playing, 604 00:25:10,508 --> 00:25:12,348 Speaker 9: and you know how accountable I was for the people 605 00:25:12,388 --> 00:25:14,428 Speaker 9: around me. And I love so many people in Kansas City, 606 00:25:14,468 --> 00:25:18,988 Speaker 9: both in that facility, uh, in the community and it's 607 00:25:18,988 --> 00:25:21,468 Speaker 9: home for me now. And you know, I don't uh, 608 00:25:21,508 --> 00:25:23,188 Speaker 9: I don't want to leave that life. 609 00:25:23,268 --> 00:25:23,508 Speaker 2: Yet. 610 00:25:23,748 --> 00:25:25,468 Speaker 9: I put in a lot of a lot of hard 611 00:25:25,468 --> 00:25:27,028 Speaker 9: work and I put in a lot of you know, 612 00:25:27,148 --> 00:25:30,628 Speaker 9: focus into into being the best that I can for 613 00:25:30,708 --> 00:25:34,588 Speaker 9: case and last year it just, uh, it didn't end 614 00:25:34,628 --> 00:25:37,708 Speaker 9: well for us, and I just I feel like there's 615 00:25:37,708 --> 00:25:40,348 Speaker 9: a responsibility in me to to play out the contract 616 00:25:40,388 --> 00:25:43,428 Speaker 9: that I initially signed to give Kansas City and the 617 00:25:43,508 --> 00:25:46,428 Speaker 9: Chiefs organization everything that I got, and uh, and that's 618 00:25:46,428 --> 00:25:47,028 Speaker 9: what I'm going to do. 619 00:25:47,068 --> 00:25:47,268 Speaker 2: Man. 620 00:25:48,428 --> 00:25:50,388 Speaker 3: Jason and Travis Kelsey kicked the tires on a lot 621 00:25:50,388 --> 00:25:53,068 Speaker 3: of topics on the New Heights podcast. Kyle, but this 622 00:25:53,148 --> 00:25:56,948 Speaker 3: is one that everybody was interested in beyond his dating life, 623 00:25:56,948 --> 00:25:59,308 Speaker 3: which anytime he goes down that avenue, people want to 624 00:25:59,348 --> 00:26:01,948 Speaker 3: know the answer. But Kyle, Chiefs fans, the NFL, they 625 00:26:01,988 --> 00:26:04,068 Speaker 3: wanted to know if Travis Kelsey was coming back. And 626 00:26:04,108 --> 00:26:06,228 Speaker 3: there's your answer. What's your reaction to that? And why 627 00:26:06,268 --> 00:26:06,668 Speaker 3: he did it? 628 00:26:07,948 --> 00:26:11,028 Speaker 5: No respects because I think the proper context, especially is 629 00:26:11,068 --> 00:26:15,428 Speaker 5: that Travis could make a ton of money without playing 630 00:26:15,428 --> 00:26:18,228 Speaker 5: another down of football. Guys stay on because they want 631 00:26:18,228 --> 00:26:20,508 Speaker 5: to hit the check again, and I get it. Keep 632 00:26:20,588 --> 00:26:22,068 Speaker 5: making the money and then you have to decide what 633 00:26:22,108 --> 00:26:23,268 Speaker 5: you're going to do after football. 634 00:26:23,388 --> 00:26:24,668 Speaker 2: He already has all that set up. 635 00:26:24,908 --> 00:26:28,228 Speaker 5: He could probably make much more money not playing football 636 00:26:28,428 --> 00:26:30,588 Speaker 5: than he could play in football and risking injury, that 637 00:26:30,628 --> 00:26:32,628 Speaker 5: can everything that comes with it. He wants to play, 638 00:26:32,708 --> 00:26:34,948 Speaker 5: and that's a guy where you're like normally when someone 639 00:26:34,948 --> 00:26:36,508 Speaker 5: says it's not about the money, like, of course it's 640 00:26:36,508 --> 00:26:37,108 Speaker 5: about the money. 641 00:26:37,108 --> 00:26:37,828 Speaker 2: For him, it's not. 642 00:26:37,948 --> 00:26:40,628 Speaker 5: He actually wants to play, and I think NFL players 643 00:26:40,628 --> 00:26:44,108 Speaker 5: have this infatuation with ending things right and he wants 644 00:26:44,148 --> 00:26:45,548 Speaker 5: to do it. He said it himself. I wasn't that 645 00:26:45,548 --> 00:26:48,508 Speaker 5: great last year. He has nothing to prove, first ballot, 646 00:26:48,548 --> 00:26:50,948 Speaker 5: Hall of Famer, multiple times super Bowl champion, maybe the 647 00:26:50,948 --> 00:26:53,308 Speaker 5: greatest tight end who ever lived, all these lists. He's like, 648 00:26:53,468 --> 00:26:55,628 Speaker 5: I got money, I got future, I got everything. I 649 00:26:55,868 --> 00:26:58,188 Speaker 5: just want to play football again for those people and 650 00:26:58,228 --> 00:27:00,588 Speaker 5: those fans and for myself and my teammates. That's as 651 00:27:00,628 --> 00:27:02,948 Speaker 5: peer as it gets, and I'm not a skeptic of it. 652 00:27:02,988 --> 00:27:05,428 Speaker 2: I respect it, nothing but respect for Kelsey. 653 00:27:05,668 --> 00:27:08,308 Speaker 7: He's tremendous and I'm in some circles he is the 654 00:27:08,348 --> 00:27:11,348 Speaker 7: greatest head end to ever live or ever play the game. 655 00:27:11,828 --> 00:27:14,428 Speaker 7: I hope he's not making a big mistake in coming back, 656 00:27:14,468 --> 00:27:16,708 Speaker 7: because I mean, you ended in the Super Bowl, no 657 00:27:16,828 --> 00:27:19,668 Speaker 7: shame in that, and you lost to Philadelphia. This could 658 00:27:19,748 --> 00:27:22,228 Speaker 7: end worse for you next season if you try to 659 00:27:22,268 --> 00:27:24,988 Speaker 7: come back. And I've heard this before from older coaches, 660 00:27:25,068 --> 00:27:28,228 Speaker 7: if you're thinking about retirement, you already are so coming 661 00:27:28,268 --> 00:27:30,068 Speaker 7: back forward trying to finish it out. I get that, 662 00:27:30,148 --> 00:27:32,148 Speaker 7: and Kyle, I think you hit it right on the head. 663 00:27:32,828 --> 00:27:34,948 Speaker 7: You always want to try to finish it right in football, 664 00:27:34,948 --> 00:27:37,908 Speaker 7: but that rarely ever happens in the National Football League. 665 00:27:38,228 --> 00:27:40,428 Speaker 8: I think he's making the right choice because the Chiefs 666 00:27:40,468 --> 00:27:43,508 Speaker 8: still have a good window here. And I also like 667 00:27:43,628 --> 00:27:45,828 Speaker 8: having players in the league that I like rooting for, 668 00:27:46,028 --> 00:27:49,308 Speaker 8: and he's easy to root for, so'm I speak for 669 00:27:49,388 --> 00:27:51,748 Speaker 8: all fans, mister Kelsey, thank you for coming back. 670 00:27:51,988 --> 00:27:52,188 Speaker 2: Yeah. 671 00:27:52,308 --> 00:27:53,828 Speaker 6: And the first thing that stands out to me as 672 00:27:53,828 --> 00:27:55,868 Speaker 6: a former player is the accountability. I love that he 673 00:27:55,908 --> 00:27:57,668 Speaker 6: came out and didn't blame anybody else. He said I 674 00:27:57,708 --> 00:27:59,468 Speaker 6: wasn't at my best. I still think I can play 675 00:27:59,508 --> 00:28:01,508 Speaker 6: better than I did a year ago, but it was 676 00:28:01,588 --> 00:28:03,868 Speaker 6: my fault. I made a mistake here. I did things wrong. 677 00:28:03,948 --> 00:28:06,828 Speaker 2: Right. I'm with josh on that, you know, I think he. 678 00:28:06,868 --> 00:28:08,668 Speaker 6: Is going to come back because he wants to end 679 00:28:08,748 --> 00:28:11,188 Speaker 6: on the right note and fans like watching that, right, 680 00:28:11,228 --> 00:28:12,588 Speaker 6: you want that superhero effect. 681 00:28:12,868 --> 00:28:14,668 Speaker 2: But I will say this, you have two greats. 682 00:28:14,388 --> 00:28:16,548 Speaker 6: And Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey, and now they have 683 00:28:16,588 --> 00:28:19,148 Speaker 6: extra motivation. So I don't know exactly what that means, 684 00:28:19,148 --> 00:28:20,628 Speaker 6: and they didn't need it, but now they have a 685 00:28:20,668 --> 00:28:22,508 Speaker 6: chance to make another run. And Travis Kelsey's going to 686 00:28:22,508 --> 00:28:24,228 Speaker 6: get right this offseason and have another go at it. 687 00:28:24,348 --> 00:28:26,028 Speaker 3: At the end of the clip, he says, plays out 688 00:28:26,028 --> 00:28:28,708 Speaker 3: the contract that I signed. He's entering the final year 689 00:28:28,748 --> 00:28:30,708 Speaker 3: of that. So clearly he had a commitment in his 690 00:28:30,748 --> 00:28:33,268 Speaker 3: mind to Kansas City that he wanted to fulfill. The 691 00:28:33,308 --> 00:28:35,948 Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes Travis Kelsey experience is one of the most 692 00:28:35,948 --> 00:28:39,468 Speaker 3: electric teammate battery combinations that you can see in terms 693 00:28:39,468 --> 00:28:42,668 Speaker 3: of pitcher and catcher. They are amazing and their friendship 694 00:28:42,908 --> 00:28:45,588 Speaker 3: is one that is covered internationally and I think it's 695 00:28:45,828 --> 00:28:48,028 Speaker 3: an amazing story that will continue to unfold.
