Stroud impressive at OTAs and 11 00:00:48,828 --> 00:00:52,028 Speaker 3: Minie Camp, according to coaches and teammates, including his left 12 00:00:52,028 --> 00:00:55,508 Speaker 3: tackle a Laramie Tunsall, who said on the Pat McAfee show, quote, 13 00:00:55,708 --> 00:00:59,428 Speaker 3: how do I describe CJ Dog? He's a straight dog. 14 00:00:59,908 --> 00:01:02,028 Speaker 3: He comes in there ready to work, He handles the 15 00:01:02,108 --> 00:01:05,548 Speaker 3: huddle perfectly, and he goes out there and heat balls. Man, 16 00:01:05,788 --> 00:01:08,988 Speaker 3: You've got to appreciate that, especially in a young quarterback. 17 00:01:09,468 --> 00:01:15,468 Speaker 3: Cej had this to say on Sunday. 18 00:01:13,468 --> 00:01:15,348 Speaker 4: I think that's for me. It's just not only getting 19 00:01:15,388 --> 00:01:17,428 Speaker 4: myself better, for getting everybody around me better. So just 20 00:01:17,668 --> 00:01:19,868 Speaker 4: be throwing on my guys. Have a couple events and 21 00:01:19,908 --> 00:01:21,668 Speaker 4: I'm gonna go to with them and be able to 22 00:01:21,668 --> 00:01:24,268 Speaker 4: have some chemistry, some team Bonnie and events with them, 23 00:01:24,268 --> 00:01:26,468 Speaker 4: and excited to do that because and then that's what 24 00:01:26,508 --> 00:01:28,508 Speaker 4: it's all about. The closest teams are the best team. 25 00:01:28,588 --> 00:01:31,108 Speaker 4: So super excited to be able to work with such 26 00:01:31,108 --> 00:01:32,948 Speaker 4: great people and that's what it's all about. 27 00:01:33,028 --> 00:01:33,628 Speaker 2: That's how you win. 28 00:01:33,828 --> 00:01:35,868 Speaker 4: So just trying to build a really tighten a team 29 00:01:35,988 --> 00:01:37,468 Speaker 4: and I want to be the forefront of that of 30 00:01:37,508 --> 00:01:40,588 Speaker 4: course along with my other teammates, and excited to get started. 31 00:01:41,668 --> 00:01:43,708 Speaker 3: A bit of a world went down in Houston. You know, 32 00:01:43,788 --> 00:01:46,948 Speaker 3: we saw Bill O'Brien go that Shawn Watson situation. But 33 00:01:47,028 --> 00:01:48,748 Speaker 3: now we've got a new QB and of course a 34 00:01:48,788 --> 00:01:52,588 Speaker 3: new head coach in Demico Ryans. So Ryan, let's speak 35 00:01:52,628 --> 00:01:54,468 Speaker 3: to you about your expectations for Steve Stroud and the 36 00:01:54,908 --> 00:01:57,108 Speaker 3: new look Texans in twenty twenty three. 37 00:01:57,148 --> 00:02:00,308 Speaker 5: Well, I think expectations are high. When you draft a 38 00:02:00,908 --> 00:02:03,908 Speaker 5: quarterback that high, one that's been that successful in college, 39 00:02:03,948 --> 00:02:05,668 Speaker 5: as well as add a new head coach, there is 40 00:02:05,708 --> 00:02:09,148 Speaker 5: this rebirth feeling to this in the NFL sometimes does 41 00:02:09,188 --> 00:02:13,348 Speaker 5: that a lot in the offseason to rejuvenate the fan base. 42 00:02:13,388 --> 00:02:15,668 Speaker 5: Everything that goes into it. What we did see last 43 00:02:15,708 --> 00:02:18,628 Speaker 5: year was a team that wasn't able to necessarily win 44 00:02:18,668 --> 00:02:21,748 Speaker 5: a lot of games, but got better defensively, offensively, the 45 00:02:21,748 --> 00:02:24,748 Speaker 5: skill position, things like that. And something that I think 46 00:02:24,828 --> 00:02:26,988 Speaker 5: is going to benefit the young rookie quarterback is their 47 00:02:27,028 --> 00:02:29,348 Speaker 5: offensive line is good. It's rare when you get a 48 00:02:29,388 --> 00:02:31,508 Speaker 5: rookie quarterback to go to a team that gets drafted 49 00:02:31,748 --> 00:02:34,668 Speaker 5: the very top that the offensive line is necessarily put 50 00:02:34,708 --> 00:02:36,908 Speaker 5: together in solid and consistent So I think that's a 51 00:02:36,908 --> 00:02:39,268 Speaker 5: big deal. Another big part of this Damian Pierce, the 52 00:02:39,348 --> 00:02:41,188 Speaker 5: rookie running back last year out of Florida. 53 00:02:41,788 --> 00:02:42,788 Speaker 2: He was just a monster. 54 00:02:42,908 --> 00:02:45,668 Speaker 5: He was showcased on this show with Kyle Brandt over 55 00:02:45,828 --> 00:02:47,388 Speaker 5: and over and over, and I think he got the 56 00:02:47,948 --> 00:02:50,028 Speaker 5: saber at the end of the year for angry runs 57 00:02:50,028 --> 00:02:52,428 Speaker 5: and that's exactly what he does. That will relieve a 58 00:02:52,468 --> 00:02:56,268 Speaker 5: lot of pressure from CJ. Stroud when things start to 59 00:02:56,268 --> 00:02:57,988 Speaker 5: get tough a little bit, when you can rely on 60 00:02:58,028 --> 00:03:02,108 Speaker 5: a running back to do that work. Same thing in Indianapolis, 61 00:03:02,148 --> 00:03:03,788 Speaker 5: I think with Jonathan Taylor, when you got a running 62 00:03:03,788 --> 00:03:05,708 Speaker 5: back and you can roll on that sometimes to get 63 00:03:05,748 --> 00:03:08,828 Speaker 5: you some manageable third downs, I think that can go 64 00:03:08,908 --> 00:03:09,468 Speaker 5: a long way. 65 00:03:09,628 --> 00:03:11,388 Speaker 6: Yeah, right, And I think when you talk about this 66 00:03:11,508 --> 00:03:14,828 Speaker 6: Texans team, I believe expectations should be measured. I think 67 00:03:14,828 --> 00:03:17,268 Speaker 6: you made a great point about what they've showed at 68 00:03:17,308 --> 00:03:18,708 Speaker 6: the back end of last year. But I think the 69 00:03:18,748 --> 00:03:21,388 Speaker 6: big move that I loved this offseason was them hiring 70 00:03:21,468 --> 00:03:23,588 Speaker 6: Demiko Ryans. I think he's going to be an excellent 71 00:03:23,628 --> 00:03:26,908 Speaker 6: coach and he and his expectations or that this team 72 00:03:26,948 --> 00:03:29,788 Speaker 6: will be better sooner than people think. I talk to 73 00:03:29,828 --> 00:03:31,628 Speaker 6: him at the combine and he was like, just keep 74 00:03:31,628 --> 00:03:33,508 Speaker 6: an eye on us. It may not take as long 75 00:03:33,508 --> 00:03:35,588 Speaker 6: as people think. But you got to remember where the 76 00:03:35,628 --> 00:03:38,908 Speaker 6: Texans came from. The last three years, they have had 77 00:03:38,948 --> 00:03:41,468 Speaker 6: the worst combined record of any team in the league. 78 00:03:41,468 --> 00:03:43,868 Speaker 6: And we have a board to kind of show where 79 00:03:43,908 --> 00:03:46,748 Speaker 6: these teams have been ranked. You got the Jags, the Jets, 80 00:03:46,788 --> 00:03:49,308 Speaker 6: the Bears, the Jags trending up where the Jets have 81 00:03:49,388 --> 00:03:53,188 Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers. The Texans eleven thirty eight and one over 82 00:03:53,228 --> 00:03:56,308 Speaker 6: the last three years. They need a glimpse of hope 83 00:03:56,348 --> 00:03:59,348 Speaker 6: that they'll exit this darkness. Every time we've talked about 84 00:03:59,348 --> 00:04:01,428 Speaker 6: the Texans the last few years, it's been under the 85 00:04:01,428 --> 00:04:05,228 Speaker 6: guise of the post Deshaun Watson era, things like post 86 00:04:05,268 --> 00:04:05,588 Speaker 6: to Shaan. 87 00:04:05,668 --> 00:04:06,868 Speaker 2: Now it's the c J. Stroud era. 88 00:04:06,948 --> 00:04:09,068 Speaker 6: Now it's the Will Anderson era. Now it's the Demiko 89 00:04:09,228 --> 00:04:11,868 Speaker 6: Ryans era. And so last year three wins for me, 90 00:04:12,308 --> 00:04:15,348 Speaker 6: six wins would be a great year. One step and 91 00:04:15,388 --> 00:04:17,428 Speaker 6: then you can try to push to move in this division. 92 00:04:17,668 --> 00:04:20,108 Speaker 6: Right now, the Jags are the classes the division, probably 93 00:04:20,148 --> 00:04:22,868 Speaker 6: the team everybody's chasing, but they're on even playing field 94 00:04:22,868 --> 00:04:25,308 Speaker 6: with everyone else. The Colts have a rookie quarterback and 95 00:04:25,348 --> 00:04:27,948 Speaker 6: Anthony Richardson. The Titans are in a transition right now. 96 00:04:27,988 --> 00:04:31,068 Speaker 6: They have Ryan Tannehill, Will Levis. Why can't c J. 97 00:04:31,188 --> 00:04:33,988 Speaker 6: Stroud jump them up ahead of the Colts, ahead of 98 00:04:33,988 --> 00:04:36,468 Speaker 6: the Titans and be right there as a top challenger 99 00:04:36,468 --> 00:04:38,308 Speaker 6: for the Jags. And so that's what I'm eager to 100 00:04:38,308 --> 00:04:40,668 Speaker 6: see c J. Stroud. I want to see his connection 101 00:04:40,748 --> 00:04:43,308 Speaker 6: with Tank Dell. You shout it out the Coogs Washington State. 102 00:04:43,548 --> 00:04:46,668 Speaker 6: I'm other Koogs Alum Houston, and so I love Tank Dell. 103 00:04:46,748 --> 00:04:48,308 Speaker 6: I think that he's going to be a great combo 104 00:04:48,388 --> 00:04:50,748 Speaker 6: with c J. Stroud and then Demiko Ryans with Will 105 00:04:50,748 --> 00:04:52,588 Speaker 6: Anderson on the other side. I know it may be 106 00:04:52,668 --> 00:04:55,988 Speaker 6: a little lofty, but Demiko Ryans had a BOSA when 107 00:04:56,028 --> 00:04:58,028 Speaker 6: he was with the forty nine ers. There can Will 108 00:04:58,028 --> 00:05:00,668 Speaker 6: Anderson be his own version of that being the anchor 109 00:05:00,708 --> 00:05:02,588 Speaker 6: of that defense. I think this team is going to 110 00:05:02,668 --> 00:05:04,628 Speaker 6: be very eager to watch over the next two or 111 00:05:04,668 --> 00:05:06,508 Speaker 6: three years to see how they grow. And Grady, I 112 00:05:06,548 --> 00:05:08,628 Speaker 6: want to ask you this because you know we talk 113 00:05:08,668 --> 00:05:11,068 Speaker 6: about rookie quarterbacks and we're talking about one here. 114 00:05:11,388 --> 00:05:12,588 Speaker 2: Do you have any. 115 00:05:12,508 --> 00:05:16,108 Speaker 6: Rookie stories for you throughout your career facing a rookie 116 00:05:16,188 --> 00:05:18,908 Speaker 6: quarterback and what that's like on the other side. 117 00:05:19,268 --> 00:05:22,068 Speaker 2: Nobody in particular, but I always know in defensive meanings, 118 00:05:22,068 --> 00:05:24,708 Speaker 2: we always make it a point when we are facing 119 00:05:24,788 --> 00:05:26,868 Speaker 2: rookie quarterback. I know they want to always give them 120 00:05:26,908 --> 00:05:29,228 Speaker 2: different looks. Is always we always want to get pressure 121 00:05:29,268 --> 00:05:31,828 Speaker 2: on them. But you know, it's different when the live 122 00:05:31,868 --> 00:05:33,908 Speaker 2: bullet's flowing from when they coming out of training camp 123 00:05:33,948 --> 00:05:36,668 Speaker 2: in Ota, So you never know what to really expect. 124 00:05:36,748 --> 00:05:39,028 Speaker 2: So it's exciting when you see these young quarterbacks come 125 00:05:39,028 --> 00:05:41,868 Speaker 2: out because I mean, I mean, they highly drafted for 126 00:05:41,868 --> 00:05:44,148 Speaker 2: a reason, you know, so they're gonna make some great plays, 127 00:05:44,188 --> 00:05:45,908 Speaker 2: but at the same time, they're gonna have some struggles too. 128 00:05:46,188 --> 00:05:48,268 Speaker 2: As a defensive player, you try to capitalize on them 129 00:05:48,268 --> 00:05:51,228 Speaker 2: when you can. So so yeah, so that's kind of 130 00:05:51,388 --> 00:05:53,628 Speaker 2: you know how, And you play the Texans this year. 131 00:05:53,708 --> 00:05:56,228 Speaker 6: I know it's, you know, not time to review the tape, Yes, 132 00:05:56,428 --> 00:05:59,468 Speaker 6: but what's your early view of CJ and maybe what 133 00:05:59,588 --> 00:06:00,348 Speaker 6: you'll face when you go. 134 00:06:00,468 --> 00:06:02,828 Speaker 2: Yeah, man, heck of a prospect of a prospect, Big 135 00:06:02,908 --> 00:06:04,748 Speaker 2: Fast got a heck of an arm. I love the 136 00:06:04,748 --> 00:06:07,868 Speaker 2: way he competed against j Over this past season, and 137 00:06:07,908 --> 00:06:09,828 Speaker 2: I think they got a really good pick. And does 138 00:06:09,868 --> 00:06:12,228 Speaker 2: somebody to really like you, like you said earlier, revent 139 00:06:12,388 --> 00:06:15,228 Speaker 2: the whole organization with him and a new coach together, 140 00:06:15,268 --> 00:06:17,108 Speaker 2: I'm sure they're going do some good things together. 141 00:06:17,228 --> 00:06:18,748 Speaker 3: I mean, let's look at the fact that the Texans 142 00:06:18,828 --> 00:06:21,308 Speaker 3: already surprised us in the draft, right, I mean, they 143 00:06:21,708 --> 00:06:23,788 Speaker 3: got the energy going, they went all in on some 144 00:06:23,868 --> 00:06:26,268 Speaker 3: of these guys. And when I look at the Houston Texans, 145 00:06:26,268 --> 00:06:28,268 Speaker 3: because I live in Dallas and I cover the Cowboys, 146 00:06:28,308 --> 00:06:31,708 Speaker 3: the Cowboys uniquely always steal the spotlight, which I think 147 00:06:31,788 --> 00:06:33,988 Speaker 3: is actually a good thing for Houston and c J. Stroud. 148 00:06:34,108 --> 00:06:37,068 Speaker 3: It sort of allows Damiko Ryans and c J. Stroud 149 00:06:37,148 --> 00:06:40,148 Speaker 3: to sort of get their bearings down there rebuild this organization. 150 00:06:40,188 --> 00:06:41,828 Speaker 3: I think they've got the right pieces. I think to 151 00:06:41,908 --> 00:06:43,948 Speaker 3: your point, it's probably gonna take them a little bit 152 00:06:43,988 --> 00:06:46,228 Speaker 3: of time. But you know, some sneaky good guys they 153 00:06:46,308 --> 00:06:49,148 Speaker 3: grabbed from the Cowboys, Noah Brown and Dalton Schultz. You 154 00:06:49,148 --> 00:06:51,148 Speaker 3: know you were showing some of the tape yesterday of 155 00:06:51,228 --> 00:06:53,628 Speaker 3: just Dalton Schultz in the connection that he was for 156 00:06:53,748 --> 00:06:56,308 Speaker 3: Dak Prescott for whatever reason, that wasn't really there for 157 00:06:56,348 --> 00:06:58,988 Speaker 3: those two last year. You know, obviously it helped that 158 00:06:59,068 --> 00:07:01,588 Speaker 3: the Cowboys had two young guys that came up in 159 00:07:01,628 --> 00:07:04,668 Speaker 3: the Titan room. But Dalton Schultz was good for Dak 160 00:07:04,668 --> 00:07:06,188 Speaker 3: Prescott and I think he's going to be really good 161 00:07:06,188 --> 00:07:08,028 Speaker 3: for CD Sewan. I think Noah Brown is as well. 162 00:07:08,108 --> 00:07:11,268 Speaker 3: So my expectations are to your going back to what 163 00:07:11,268 --> 00:07:14,508 Speaker 3: you said earlier camp, this division is sort of wide open, 164 00:07:14,588 --> 00:07:16,188 Speaker 3: and I've got a lot of faith in Taika Ryans, 165 00:07:16,188 --> 00:07:17,948 Speaker 3: And again I think they've got some of the pieces. 166 00:07:17,988 --> 00:07:21,508 Speaker 3: But why not Houston? So the Texans could be viewed 167 00:07:21,588 --> 00:07:23,788 Speaker 3: as a bit of a surprise team to make the playoffs, 168 00:07:23,788 --> 00:07:27,108 Speaker 3: but who else who is your surprise team to make 169 00:07:27,148 --> 00:07:30,108 Speaker 3: a playoff? Push in twenty twenty three that I think 170 00:07:30,108 --> 00:07:32,868 Speaker 3: maybe not necessarily was in the playoffs last year. So Cam, 171 00:07:33,188 --> 00:07:33,748 Speaker 3: who do you got? 172 00:07:33,788 --> 00:07:35,548 Speaker 6: All right, Grady, I needed to close your ears for this. 173 00:07:37,308 --> 00:07:38,948 Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with the Carolina Panthers. 174 00:07:39,028 --> 00:07:39,148 Speaker 2: Man. 175 00:07:39,188 --> 00:07:40,868 Speaker 6: I know, Grady, you're gonna have something to say about 176 00:07:40,908 --> 00:07:43,348 Speaker 6: that two times a year. But this team, they don't 177 00:07:43,388 --> 00:07:46,588 Speaker 6: have a typical number one overall pick roster. Remember they 178 00:07:46,588 --> 00:07:49,108 Speaker 6: made that jump in the trade to go get Bryce Young. 179 00:07:49,468 --> 00:07:51,428 Speaker 6: And when you look at this team, I spent some 180 00:07:51,468 --> 00:07:53,628 Speaker 6: time with them in camp. I think that defense is 181 00:07:53,668 --> 00:07:56,188 Speaker 6: already ready to be a playoff team. The offense is 182 00:07:56,228 --> 00:07:58,388 Speaker 6: the one thing we've been asking about. And last year 183 00:07:58,588 --> 00:08:01,108 Speaker 6: they made their push. If you remember, they fired their 184 00:08:01,148 --> 00:08:03,788 Speaker 6: head coach and Steve Wilkes took them and almost took 185 00:08:03,828 --> 00:08:06,708 Speaker 6: him to the playof when they had Baker Mayfield and PJ. 186 00:08:06,868 --> 00:08:09,788 Speaker 6: Walker and just a collection of Sam Darnold of quarterbacks. 187 00:08:09,828 --> 00:08:11,588 Speaker 6: Now they have Bryce Young, and I'll tell you what. 188 00:08:11,988 --> 00:08:12,228 Speaker 2: I know. 189 00:08:12,228 --> 00:08:14,348 Speaker 6: We were talking about rookie quarterbacks down there, But when 190 00:08:14,388 --> 00:08:16,348 Speaker 6: I talk to people in Carolina, they say he does 191 00:08:16,388 --> 00:08:17,708 Speaker 6: not act like a rookie. 192 00:08:17,748 --> 00:08:19,428 Speaker 2: They said they're teaching him things. 193 00:08:19,388 --> 00:08:22,148 Speaker 6: That they teach quarterbacks in year two, year three, and 194 00:08:22,188 --> 00:08:24,188 Speaker 6: look he's small. I get all the jokes that gonna 195 00:08:24,188 --> 00:08:26,628 Speaker 6: come out of him. But Thomas Brown, their offensive coordinator, said, 196 00:08:26,668 --> 00:08:29,348 Speaker 6: when he say hike, this dude is special. His ability 197 00:08:29,388 --> 00:08:32,868 Speaker 6: to feel pressure within the pocket, his accuracy, the way 198 00:08:32,908 --> 00:08:35,548 Speaker 6: he's already taking hold of a locker room. I was 199 00:08:35,588 --> 00:08:38,388 Speaker 6: down there and Brian Burns said, he's got this humble swag, 200 00:08:38,468 --> 00:08:41,268 Speaker 6: but he also knows he's the stuff. I'll say that, 201 00:08:41,348 --> 00:08:43,348 Speaker 6: and I think this team is going to be a 202 00:08:43,348 --> 00:08:46,348 Speaker 6: lot better than expected. If you want a fantasy nugget 203 00:08:46,748 --> 00:08:48,748 Speaker 6: draft Miles Sanders, I think that he is going to 204 00:08:48,788 --> 00:08:50,788 Speaker 6: be a player that has a huge role on this team. 205 00:08:51,068 --> 00:08:52,908 Speaker 6: Thomas Brown told me they want to get him back 206 00:08:52,908 --> 00:08:55,268 Speaker 6: to how he was used in Philadelphia as a rookie 207 00:08:55,308 --> 00:08:57,828 Speaker 6: when he caught fifty plus passes. He wasn't used like 208 00:08:57,868 --> 00:09:00,148 Speaker 6: that recently. And so they'll lean on Miles Sanders, they'll 209 00:09:00,188 --> 00:09:01,908 Speaker 6: lean on the offensive line. They think that is better 210 00:09:01,948 --> 00:09:04,588 Speaker 6: than a lot of people think. And maybe they're some 211 00:09:04,628 --> 00:09:07,948 Speaker 6: fun battles, you know, starting week one with your falcons 212 00:09:07,988 --> 00:09:10,308 Speaker 6: and you see, can you collapse the pocket on Bryce Young? 213 00:09:10,548 --> 00:09:13,188 Speaker 6: Can he get the feel out against that new look defense. 214 00:09:13,428 --> 00:09:16,068 Speaker 6: I think this this Panthers Falcons battle is gonna be 215 00:09:16,108 --> 00:09:16,948 Speaker 6: fun to watch this year. 216 00:09:17,148 --> 00:09:20,068 Speaker 3: Is a smaller quarterback a strength or a weakness for 217 00:09:20,148 --> 00:09:20,508 Speaker 3: a team. 218 00:09:20,868 --> 00:09:23,508 Speaker 2: I don't know either, you know, because I'm a quote 219 00:09:23,588 --> 00:09:25,988 Speaker 2: unquote smaller defensive tackle, you know what I'm saying. So 220 00:09:26,388 --> 00:09:28,308 Speaker 2: I think they the man was drafting number one for 221 00:09:28,348 --> 00:09:30,548 Speaker 2: a reason, you know. And I think we're all gonna 222 00:09:30,548 --> 00:09:33,108 Speaker 2: find out, I mean a while over time, and so 223 00:09:33,108 --> 00:09:34,548 Speaker 2: you got to give him as you know, to do 224 00:09:34,708 --> 00:09:37,348 Speaker 2: credit to you know, prove it otherwise. So it is 225 00:09:37,388 --> 00:09:38,628 Speaker 2: what they gotta prepare for. 226 00:09:38,988 --> 00:09:40,588 Speaker 3: Who else is going to prove us wrong this year? 227 00:09:40,588 --> 00:09:42,548 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the Browns. I think the Browns 228 00:09:42,548 --> 00:09:44,948 Speaker 2: are going to have a good bounce back season. They 229 00:09:44,988 --> 00:09:47,548 Speaker 2: got a really good team, like on paper, you know 230 00:09:47,868 --> 00:09:49,508 Speaker 2: when we played them last year, a really tough, really 231 00:09:49,508 --> 00:09:52,388 Speaker 2: really good offensive line, and uh with de Shaun having 232 00:09:52,428 --> 00:09:54,628 Speaker 2: another year with them, you know, and he's a heck 233 00:09:54,668 --> 00:09:56,388 Speaker 2: of a talent. And I think I think they're gonna 234 00:09:56,388 --> 00:09:58,828 Speaker 2: they're gonna get there and get back to the book. 235 00:09:58,988 --> 00:10:01,028 Speaker 2: I mean, I get back get to the playoffs. And 236 00:10:02,108 --> 00:10:04,788 Speaker 2: I believe that the Shawn does some good thing so so. 237 00:10:04,748 --> 00:10:06,908 Speaker 5: The Browns get to the playoffs. What what team in the 238 00:10:06,948 --> 00:10:10,108 Speaker 5: NFC doesn't get in them? The Jets, it's the Dolphins, 239 00:10:10,108 --> 00:10:11,108 Speaker 5: the Steelers. 240 00:10:10,668 --> 00:10:13,748 Speaker 2: The guys for a surprise team, and I think they 241 00:10:13,748 --> 00:10:15,388 Speaker 2: got a chance. I like you. I am too. 242 00:10:15,388 --> 00:10:17,908 Speaker 5: I think the division is unbelievably good and that's gonna be. 243 00:10:18,148 --> 00:10:19,908 Speaker 3: Do you see the Steelers next year? 244 00:10:19,948 --> 00:10:21,708 Speaker 2: Well, I'm a Steelers fan, so let's not. Let's not. 245 00:10:21,948 --> 00:10:22,548 Speaker 2: Let's not go to the. 246 00:10:22,948 --> 00:10:24,908 Speaker 5: Right now, I'd say that right now that they're seventeen 247 00:10:24,908 --> 00:10:26,388 Speaker 5: to oh and they're winning it all, and I'm tired 248 00:10:26,428 --> 00:10:29,068 Speaker 5: of not having championship. We're used to winning championships. People 249 00:10:29,068 --> 00:10:31,908 Speaker 5: in Pittsburgh, right. I love Mike Tomlin, but fifty you 250 00:10:31,948 --> 00:10:34,268 Speaker 5: know above five hundred is not is not quite good 251 00:10:34,348 --> 00:10:36,708 Speaker 5: enough anymore? Everybody A right, Sorry, I digress. I'm all 252 00:10:36,708 --> 00:10:38,388 Speaker 5: over the Atlanta. 253 00:10:38,068 --> 00:10:40,228 Speaker 3: Falcons caring himself to you. 254 00:10:41,228 --> 00:10:43,148 Speaker 5: Hey, I did this a couple of weeks ago. I 255 00:10:43,188 --> 00:10:45,788 Speaker 5: have you guys winning double digit games. I like Arthur Smith. 256 00:10:46,068 --> 00:10:48,908 Speaker 5: I love his mentality. I love how they've stacked the 257 00:10:48,908 --> 00:10:51,388 Speaker 5: talent on the offensive side to help the young quarterback 258 00:10:51,388 --> 00:10:53,468 Speaker 5: in Desmond Rider. He does not turn the football over 259 00:10:53,708 --> 00:10:57,348 Speaker 5: the defense is improving, They've gotten better. They need to 260 00:10:56,428 --> 00:10:58,988 Speaker 5: get the ball back to this team and let them 261 00:10:59,028 --> 00:11:01,028 Speaker 5: have as many chances on the offensive side of the 262 00:11:01,028 --> 00:11:03,468 Speaker 5: football to score. So I think, and if you look 263 00:11:03,468 --> 00:11:06,548 Speaker 5: at the schedule, it's very opportunistic for this football team. 264 00:11:06,588 --> 00:11:08,548 Speaker 5: I have them going ten and seven, being the number 265 00:11:08,548 --> 00:11:11,588 Speaker 5: six seed in the playoffs this year. So I'm excited 266 00:11:11,588 --> 00:11:13,068 Speaker 5: for them. I'm excited for you to get back to 267 00:11:13,068 --> 00:11:15,468 Speaker 5: the playoffs. And I expect everybody out there talking a 268 00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:17,148 Speaker 5: little trash about the NFC South. 269 00:11:17,348 --> 00:11:18,308 Speaker 2: Not so fast, my friend. 270 00:11:18,348 --> 00:11:20,548 Speaker 5: The Saints and the Falcons are coming for you. Everybody 271 00:11:20,548 --> 00:11:20,988 Speaker 5: watch out. 272 00:11:21,108 --> 00:11:22,028 Speaker 2: I really like that pick. 273 00:11:22,188 --> 00:11:24,548 Speaker 3: I lived in Denver for three years and is probably 274 00:11:24,588 --> 00:11:26,388 Speaker 3: one of the best sports towns I've ever lived in. 275 00:11:26,428 --> 00:11:28,188 Speaker 3: Look at the success they've had with the Abs in 276 00:11:28,268 --> 00:11:31,268 Speaker 3: recent years, the Nuggets. They are so frustrated with the 277 00:11:31,308 --> 00:11:35,028 Speaker 3: Denver Broncos seventeen and thirty three the last three seasons. 278 00:11:35,588 --> 00:11:38,268 Speaker 3: The last time we were talking about success, Gary Kubiak 279 00:11:38,748 --> 00:11:42,228 Speaker 3: was the head coach. Now you got Sean Payton and 280 00:11:42,268 --> 00:11:44,388 Speaker 3: you've kind of gotten me coming back over to the 281 00:11:44,468 --> 00:11:47,508 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson. It was an outlier year. But here's what 282 00:11:47,548 --> 00:11:50,868 Speaker 3: I love about Sean Payton. This guy loves when his 283 00:11:50,948 --> 00:11:53,348 Speaker 3: back is against the wall. He loves a good challenge. 284 00:11:53,388 --> 00:11:54,988 Speaker 3: Look what he did with Drew Brees when he came 285 00:11:55,028 --> 00:11:57,668 Speaker 3: to New Orleans. He's all about getting it. It sounds like 286 00:11:57,748 --> 00:12:03,788 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson loves to be guided from a psychological perspective, 287 00:12:03,908 --> 00:12:07,308 Speaker 3: that's what Peyton does. Sean Payton finds a way to 288 00:12:07,428 --> 00:12:09,468 Speaker 3: motivate his players. When I covered him in New Orleans, 289 00:12:09,508 --> 00:12:11,748 Speaker 3: I was always fascinated the amount of attention that he 290 00:12:11,788 --> 00:12:15,188 Speaker 3: would put into some of those pregame conversations in the 291 00:12:15,188 --> 00:12:17,428 Speaker 3: meetings to hype his players up. And so I think 292 00:12:17,588 --> 00:12:20,268 Speaker 3: the Broncos, which seems obvious when you've got Sean Payton 293 00:12:20,308 --> 00:12:22,188 Speaker 3: and Russell Wilson, but they it should have been obvious 294 00:12:22,268 --> 00:12:24,668 Speaker 3: last year within the Nathaniel Hackett and it wasn't. So 295 00:12:24,788 --> 00:12:25,868 Speaker 3: I think this is going to be one of those 296 00:12:25,868 --> 00:12:28,148 Speaker 3: sneaky little teams that finds their way into the playoffs. 297 00:12:28,148 --> 00:12:29,428 Speaker 3: I think they're going to do it in this first. 298 00:12:29,268 --> 00:12:46,908 Speaker 7: Yearning Football time now to welcome back to the show. 299 00:12:47,108 --> 00:12:51,308 Speaker 8: A three time Super Bowl champion, he was vice president 300 00:12:51,348 --> 00:12:54,868 Speaker 8: of player Personnel for the New England Patriots, general manager 301 00:12:54,988 --> 00:12:58,068 Speaker 8: of the Kansas City Chiefs and assister general manager of 302 00:12:58,108 --> 00:13:01,348 Speaker 8: the Atlanta Falcons. We got Grady here now he's our 303 00:13:01,428 --> 00:13:04,308 Speaker 8: front out office analysts at NFL Network. 304 00:13:04,508 --> 00:13:06,348 Speaker 6: Welcome back, Scott Pioli. 305 00:13:08,388 --> 00:13:09,388 Speaker 9: Good morning everyone. 306 00:13:09,428 --> 00:13:11,508 Speaker 2: Gott Let me start be man. Great to be with. 307 00:13:11,428 --> 00:13:12,708 Speaker 6: You, great to see Scott. 308 00:13:12,828 --> 00:13:13,588 Speaker 2: Let me start you with this. 309 00:13:13,788 --> 00:13:16,628 Speaker 6: Yesterday on the show, I mentioned that Dalvin Cook has 310 00:13:16,628 --> 00:13:20,028 Speaker 6: a two million dollar guarantee and his contract odes still 311 00:13:20,068 --> 00:13:23,468 Speaker 6: from the Vikings and whatever team he wants to land in, 312 00:13:23,868 --> 00:13:25,668 Speaker 6: we'll have to up the ane to be able to 313 00:13:25,668 --> 00:13:27,868 Speaker 6: get him. Can you educate our audience a little bit 314 00:13:27,908 --> 00:13:30,428 Speaker 6: on what that means from a front office perspective. 315 00:13:30,468 --> 00:13:31,388 Speaker 2: I love that, Kim. 316 00:13:31,428 --> 00:13:33,188 Speaker 9: I was so happy you brought up that point while 317 00:13:33,188 --> 00:13:36,788 Speaker 9: I was watching the show because it impacts three different ways. 318 00:13:37,348 --> 00:13:40,268 Speaker 9: So when the fact that he's guaranteed two billion dollars, 319 00:13:40,308 --> 00:13:43,548 Speaker 9: what that means for Dalvin Cook is that is his floor. 320 00:13:43,828 --> 00:13:46,908 Speaker 9: He's guaranteed two million dollars, whether he plays or not. 321 00:13:47,308 --> 00:13:50,068 Speaker 9: If he goes to another team, he has to make 322 00:13:50,188 --> 00:13:52,788 Speaker 9: more than two million dollars in order for him to 323 00:13:52,788 --> 00:13:55,308 Speaker 9: make any new money, so to speak. When you look 324 00:13:55,308 --> 00:13:57,588 Speaker 9: at it from the front office of the Vikings, What 325 00:13:57,708 --> 00:13:59,908 Speaker 9: they love about this is they know that someone's going 326 00:13:59,948 --> 00:14:03,428 Speaker 9: to pay him and that will mitigate the two million 327 00:14:03,508 --> 00:14:05,868 Speaker 9: dollars that they guarant and teed him. So if another 328 00:14:05,908 --> 00:14:09,268 Speaker 9: team pays him four million dollars, well they're off the hook. 329 00:14:09,388 --> 00:14:11,668 Speaker 9: Meaning the Minnesota Vikings are off the hook for their 330 00:14:11,708 --> 00:14:14,588 Speaker 9: first two million dollars and then it's two million dollars 331 00:14:14,908 --> 00:14:17,708 Speaker 9: additional for Dalvin. But when you look at it as 332 00:14:17,748 --> 00:14:19,908 Speaker 9: the new team, you brought the great point you said 333 00:14:19,948 --> 00:14:23,388 Speaker 9: Cam about the fact that that is the floor for 334 00:14:23,588 --> 00:14:27,028 Speaker 9: the new team. Dalvin Cook needs to make more new 335 00:14:27,068 --> 00:14:30,588 Speaker 9: money from the team above two million dollars in order 336 00:14:30,628 --> 00:14:33,828 Speaker 9: for it to feel good to him. So two million 337 00:14:33,868 --> 00:14:36,988 Speaker 9: dollars is his floor. So the new team that signs 338 00:14:37,068 --> 00:14:39,268 Speaker 9: Dalvin Cook is going to have to go well above 339 00:14:39,308 --> 00:14:43,188 Speaker 9: and beyond in year one compensation and cash in order 340 00:14:43,228 --> 00:14:44,908 Speaker 9: to make Dalvin Cook feel better. 341 00:14:45,068 --> 00:14:47,308 Speaker 3: It's so interesting the differing salaries. I mean, we're talking 342 00:14:47,348 --> 00:14:49,548 Speaker 3: about some of these wide receivers and titands that are 343 00:14:49,548 --> 00:14:51,788 Speaker 3: in the thirteen to fifteen and now we devalued the 344 00:14:51,868 --> 00:14:54,068 Speaker 3: running back to well he's got to get around three 345 00:14:54,068 --> 00:14:56,228 Speaker 3: to four million dollars. It's kind of wild, especially I 346 00:14:56,268 --> 00:14:58,948 Speaker 3: think of about a guy like Dalvin Cook. But I 347 00:14:59,028 --> 00:15:02,068 Speaker 3: love when we get front office insight from people like you, Scott, 348 00:15:02,108 --> 00:15:04,108 Speaker 3: and you and Grady obviously go way back. You were 349 00:15:04,148 --> 00:15:06,868 Speaker 3: part of the Falcons organization that drafted him back in 350 00:15:06,908 --> 00:15:10,668 Speaker 3: twenty fifteen. You know in Frisco. My favorite thing is 351 00:15:10,668 --> 00:15:14,148 Speaker 3: they've got the scouting report for Larry Allen and Troy Aitman. 352 00:15:14,668 --> 00:15:16,948 Speaker 3: So now I want to know when you go back 353 00:15:16,988 --> 00:15:19,748 Speaker 3: and you look at Grady, what was the one thing 354 00:15:19,748 --> 00:15:22,068 Speaker 3: in your scouting report that made you guys want to 355 00:15:22,148 --> 00:15:23,628 Speaker 3: trade up to get him that year? 356 00:15:24,148 --> 00:15:26,708 Speaker 9: There wasn't one thing, Jane, There was so many things. Yesterday, 357 00:15:26,708 --> 00:15:28,628 Speaker 9: when I saw Grady on air, I went down into 358 00:15:28,668 --> 00:15:33,188 Speaker 9: the Pioli archives, grabbed the nineteen ninety five draft book. 359 00:15:33,268 --> 00:15:35,348 Speaker 9: I grabbed out Grady's report. I got to put that 360 00:15:35,428 --> 00:15:37,468 Speaker 9: up quick and get it down so people can't see it. 361 00:15:38,468 --> 00:15:40,988 Speaker 9: You know, we were sitting there that year. We were 362 00:15:41,028 --> 00:15:43,748 Speaker 9: going to be picking it one forty six. Overall the 363 00:15:43,828 --> 00:15:47,068 Speaker 9: Vikings were at one thirty seven. Thomas de Mitchev got 364 00:15:47,068 --> 00:15:49,548 Speaker 9: on the phone, made a deal with Rick Spielman. We 365 00:15:49,668 --> 00:15:52,308 Speaker 9: jumped up because yes, it was the fifth round, but 366 00:15:52,388 --> 00:15:54,868 Speaker 9: Grady was a player that we absolutely loved. 367 00:15:54,908 --> 00:15:55,948 Speaker 2: We loved him on film. 368 00:15:55,988 --> 00:15:57,788 Speaker 9: I had had the chance to not only see him 369 00:15:57,828 --> 00:15:59,708 Speaker 9: on film, but I was up there in practice at 370 00:15:59,708 --> 00:16:02,748 Speaker 9: Clemson got to see him play there. But then we 371 00:16:02,788 --> 00:16:06,628 Speaker 9: went up. It was March thirty, twenty fifteen. We went 372 00:16:06,708 --> 00:16:09,188 Speaker 9: up to work out Grady and Vic Beasley. We ended 373 00:16:09,268 --> 00:16:11,548 Speaker 9: up taking Vic Beasley in the first round. But as 374 00:16:11,588 --> 00:16:14,388 Speaker 9: we talked more and more about Grady, he was the 375 00:16:14,628 --> 00:16:18,108 Speaker 9: absolute perfect fit for everything that we wanted as a 376 00:16:18,148 --> 00:16:20,668 Speaker 9: Falcon And I'll tell you, if you're ever running a 377 00:16:20,708 --> 00:16:23,828 Speaker 9: football team, you're a head coach. Grady is everything that 378 00:16:23,908 --> 00:16:27,108 Speaker 9: you want. Absolutely. It was funny. I also went back 379 00:16:27,228 --> 00:16:30,108 Speaker 9: yesterday and looked at his psychological profile. Now, I'm not 380 00:16:30,108 --> 00:16:31,748 Speaker 9: going to get into the details Grady, but I do 381 00:16:31,828 --> 00:16:34,068 Speaker 9: want to talk about this part of what they see 382 00:16:34,228 --> 00:16:37,388 Speaker 9: of detail. I'm serious, this is really important. He was 383 00:16:37,428 --> 00:16:39,708 Speaker 9: one of the rare ten out of tens. 384 00:16:40,148 --> 00:16:40,988 Speaker 2: That is so rare. 385 00:16:41,028 --> 00:16:44,148 Speaker 9: He was an overall ten on our psychological report, and 386 00:16:44,148 --> 00:16:46,268 Speaker 9: it says here, Grady Jared will set the example for 387 00:16:46,308 --> 00:16:49,468 Speaker 9: the team for hard work, commitment, and excellent He will 388 00:16:49,468 --> 00:16:54,068 Speaker 9: not be satisfied with relying on natural ability. Jarrett's warrior 389 00:16:54,148 --> 00:16:59,188 Speaker 9: attitude and mental and physical toughness consistently stands out. His 390 00:16:59,268 --> 00:17:03,268 Speaker 9: ability to focus is a part of his good mental quickness, 391 00:17:03,308 --> 00:17:05,628 Speaker 9: which will provide signs and if can edge for him 392 00:17:06,068 --> 00:17:09,588 Speaker 9: in terms of ability to make reads quickly and execute. 393 00:17:10,308 --> 00:17:12,188 Speaker 9: So I know this is going long, but I'm telling 394 00:17:12,188 --> 00:17:14,908 Speaker 9: you what that is everything that you want out of 395 00:17:14,908 --> 00:17:17,068 Speaker 9: a player, everything that you want out of a player 396 00:17:17,068 --> 00:17:18,828 Speaker 9: that plays that position. And there are a lot of 397 00:17:18,868 --> 00:17:21,548 Speaker 9: people that talked about his height. He's too short, his 398 00:17:21,628 --> 00:17:25,548 Speaker 9: physical stature, he's got short arms. Grady was a ball 399 00:17:25,588 --> 00:17:28,148 Speaker 9: player and a leader, and that's what we wanted. I 400 00:17:28,188 --> 00:17:29,948 Speaker 9: can make a full show out of this. I'm sorry 401 00:17:29,948 --> 00:17:30,788 Speaker 9: to take so much time. 402 00:17:30,828 --> 00:17:31,148 Speaker 7: I know that. 403 00:17:36,788 --> 00:17:40,188 Speaker 2: I love Grady. Yeah, man, thank you. Man. That made 404 00:17:40,228 --> 00:17:42,348 Speaker 2: me feel amazing. Man, that made me feel amazing. Thank 405 00:17:42,388 --> 00:17:44,428 Speaker 2: you for that. And I'm just, you know, trying to 406 00:17:44,468 --> 00:17:46,548 Speaker 2: continue to build all year by year and keep going 407 00:17:46,628 --> 00:17:49,788 Speaker 2: and keep going. So Scott earlier in the show, we 408 00:17:49,828 --> 00:17:51,748 Speaker 2: actually what needs to happen in order for the Last 409 00:17:51,828 --> 00:17:53,708 Speaker 2: live up to the hype in twenty three. So what 410 00:17:53,748 --> 00:17:55,308 Speaker 2: do you think for the Lions what they got to 411 00:17:55,308 --> 00:17:57,188 Speaker 2: do to live up to all the hype that they got. 412 00:17:57,348 --> 00:17:59,988 Speaker 9: It's going to start with their head coach and their 413 00:18:00,028 --> 00:18:03,308 Speaker 9: front office. They cannot believe the hype. If they believe 414 00:18:03,348 --> 00:18:06,668 Speaker 9: the hype, they are going to become public enemy. And 415 00:18:06,708 --> 00:18:10,068 Speaker 9: what I'm saying is Dan Campbell, their head coach, is 416 00:18:10,108 --> 00:18:12,308 Speaker 9: going to have to make sure that he manages a 417 00:18:12,468 --> 00:18:15,308 Speaker 9: young football team, a team that is not very mature 418 00:18:15,348 --> 00:18:15,868 Speaker 9: in years. 419 00:18:16,068 --> 00:18:18,508 Speaker 2: If you look at their roster, they've got. 420 00:18:18,348 --> 00:18:21,788 Speaker 9: Only four players including our long snapper, that are thirty 421 00:18:21,868 --> 00:18:26,148 Speaker 9: years old or older. So mentally and emotionally, this is 422 00:18:26,188 --> 00:18:29,068 Speaker 9: a young football team. Dan Quinn in the front office 423 00:18:29,068 --> 00:18:30,828 Speaker 9: are going to have to make sure that they manage 424 00:18:30,828 --> 00:18:35,108 Speaker 9: the team, manage their expectations, play with confidence, and feel 425 00:18:35,108 --> 00:18:36,708 Speaker 9: like they're a good team, because they are a good 426 00:18:36,748 --> 00:18:39,188 Speaker 9: team and they're a well coached team. But they're going 427 00:18:39,268 --> 00:18:42,708 Speaker 9: to have to be reminded that they can't just come 428 00:18:42,748 --> 00:18:45,028 Speaker 9: out there and win games just because the public is 429 00:18:45,068 --> 00:18:48,868 Speaker 9: saying something. They have to manage their own expectations. So 430 00:18:48,948 --> 00:18:50,908 Speaker 9: to me, it's going to be really, really important. And 431 00:18:51,148 --> 00:18:53,588 Speaker 9: I don't know this for sure, but my guess is 432 00:18:53,708 --> 00:18:57,908 Speaker 9: Dan Dan Campbell is a Bill Parcells disciple. He played 433 00:18:57,948 --> 00:19:01,228 Speaker 9: for Coach Parcels, he coached under Coach Parcels, and I 434 00:19:01,268 --> 00:19:04,668 Speaker 9: guarantee you that Parcells has probably read the newspaper clips 435 00:19:04,708 --> 00:19:07,068 Speaker 9: and called in and said, hey, are they fitting you 436 00:19:07,108 --> 00:19:08,188 Speaker 9: for the gold jacket yet? 437 00:19:08,188 --> 00:19:10,268 Speaker 2: Are they fitting you for your Super Bowl rings yet? 438 00:19:10,428 --> 00:19:12,388 Speaker 9: Make sure you tap the breaks in, go out and 439 00:19:12,428 --> 00:19:13,468 Speaker 9: win some games. 440 00:19:13,868 --> 00:19:16,388 Speaker 3: What does it? Don't take the cheese, don't. 441 00:19:16,188 --> 00:19:17,188 Speaker 2: Eat the rap cheese. 442 00:19:17,228 --> 00:19:22,308 Speaker 5: Exactly right, Scott, that was pretty special with what you 443 00:19:22,388 --> 00:19:25,028 Speaker 5: just did. Going back with Grady and I can tell 444 00:19:25,068 --> 00:19:29,028 Speaker 5: his body language. We don't as athletes and as someone 445 00:19:29,068 --> 00:19:31,308 Speaker 5: as humble as him for the greatest player as he's 446 00:19:31,308 --> 00:19:34,308 Speaker 5: been so humble the last couple of days. It's hard 447 00:19:34,348 --> 00:19:37,268 Speaker 5: to hear praise like that. Sometimes it feels so good 448 00:19:37,268 --> 00:19:39,028 Speaker 5: because you like, I need to keep working and so 449 00:19:39,068 --> 00:19:42,268 Speaker 5: it was just something really special to see here on TV. 450 00:19:42,428 --> 00:19:45,548 Speaker 5: So thank you for giving us that. Let's go to Indianapolis. 451 00:19:45,708 --> 00:19:48,188 Speaker 5: Jim Mersey talked about the best way for rookie quarterback 452 00:19:48,228 --> 00:19:50,548 Speaker 5: Anthony Richardson to get better is to have him play. 453 00:19:50,668 --> 00:19:53,188 Speaker 5: You know, he's only played thirteen games. Ultimately will be 454 00:19:53,268 --> 00:19:56,148 Speaker 5: up to head coach Shane Steiken to determine what and 455 00:19:56,188 --> 00:19:58,988 Speaker 5: when that time will be. Your thoughts on him getting 456 00:19:58,988 --> 00:20:01,708 Speaker 5: a rookie quarterback on the field early and often versus 457 00:20:01,788 --> 00:20:04,388 Speaker 5: letting him watch and learn first, especially when you invest 458 00:20:04,468 --> 00:20:07,348 Speaker 5: did a fourth overall draft pick on the quarterback. 459 00:20:07,588 --> 00:20:07,788 Speaker 2: Yeah. 460 00:20:07,908 --> 00:20:12,308 Speaker 9: Ryan, you know, truthfully, everything in life is circumstantial, and 461 00:20:12,348 --> 00:20:14,428 Speaker 9: to make a blanket statement as you need to do 462 00:20:14,508 --> 00:20:16,788 Speaker 9: this or do that, I don't think. This is another 463 00:20:16,788 --> 00:20:18,988 Speaker 9: one of the situations where there is not a blanket 464 00:20:19,188 --> 00:20:22,228 Speaker 9: statement that applies. You have to look at the circumstance 465 00:20:22,428 --> 00:20:25,868 Speaker 9: because I believe that player development is very circumstantial. You're 466 00:20:25,908 --> 00:20:28,308 Speaker 9: also looking at a young player who's only had thirteen 467 00:20:28,388 --> 00:20:31,308 Speaker 9: career starts in college. This isn't the forty five career 468 00:20:31,348 --> 00:20:34,988 Speaker 9: starts that Peyton Manny had or that other players had 469 00:20:35,028 --> 00:20:37,428 Speaker 9: a lot of, you know, a lot of starts and 470 00:20:37,428 --> 00:20:40,108 Speaker 9: a lot of experience. So to me, I think what 471 00:20:40,148 --> 00:20:42,868 Speaker 9: they need to do is make sure that they eliminate 472 00:20:42,908 --> 00:20:45,868 Speaker 9: the emotion, eliminate the impulse, take things as it comes. 473 00:20:45,868 --> 00:20:49,228 Speaker 9: See how the team receives the player as well, because again, 474 00:20:49,788 --> 00:20:52,988 Speaker 9: in order for a player to develop, especially a quarterback, 475 00:20:53,028 --> 00:20:56,228 Speaker 9: he needs to have good players around him. Also, it 476 00:20:56,268 --> 00:20:59,588 Speaker 9: isn't just the player, it's the support and structure and 477 00:20:59,748 --> 00:21:01,548 Speaker 9: infrastructure that's around him. 478 00:21:01,548 --> 00:21:02,108 Speaker 2: As a player, so. 479 00:21:02,108 --> 00:21:03,988 Speaker 9: I think this is one of those things they don't 480 00:21:03,988 --> 00:21:05,908 Speaker 9: know right now. Now They shouldn't know right now. They 481 00:21:05,948 --> 00:21:08,508 Speaker 9: have to see how things grow and how they evolve 482 00:21:08,828 --> 00:21:09,788 Speaker 9: during training camp. 483 00:21:10,908 --> 00:21:15,268 Speaker 3: All right, well, The highly anticipated Netflix documentary series Quarterback 484 00:21:15,348 --> 00:21:17,668 Speaker 3: aims to give viewers the behind the scenes look at 485 00:21:17,668 --> 00:21:19,708 Speaker 3: what it takes to be a quarterback in the NFL. 486 00:21:20,148 --> 00:21:22,868 Speaker 3: The series is set's premiere tomorrow and will feature three 487 00:21:22,948 --> 00:21:26,948 Speaker 3: quarterbacks from the twenty twenty two season.

You know, guys, I think it's interesting, 491 00:21:38,108 --> 00:21:41,908 Speaker 3: you know, especially with podcasts and Instagram, that you know, 492 00:21:41,988 --> 00:21:43,828 Speaker 3: players were getting a little bit more of an insight 493 00:21:43,828 --> 00:21:45,628 Speaker 3: in who they are. I mean, I feel like football 494 00:21:45,668 --> 00:21:48,108 Speaker 3: has always been so different than say basketball, where you 495 00:21:48,108 --> 00:21:50,268 Speaker 3: actually see the face of these guys, you see their 496 00:21:50,588 --> 00:21:53,748 Speaker 3: jersey numbers, and there is so much promotion around the NBA, 497 00:21:53,828 --> 00:21:57,348 Speaker 3: whereas with fifty three guys on a roster, you know, 498 00:21:57,428 --> 00:21:59,908 Speaker 3: I always get like an insight into who they are 499 00:21:59,948 --> 00:22:01,828 Speaker 3: under the helmet, and I think that's why I love 500 00:22:01,908 --> 00:22:04,108 Speaker 3: doing my job cam is when I get these guys 501 00:22:04,108 --> 00:22:05,428 Speaker 3: away for in the locker room and you get to 502 00:22:05,428 --> 00:22:08,988 Speaker 3: know their wives or their why or their children or 503 00:22:09,028 --> 00:22:11,548 Speaker 3: what shape them, you find yourself cheering for them. And 504 00:22:11,548 --> 00:22:13,908 Speaker 3: I feel like sometimes especially football players and maybe Greaty 505 00:22:13,948 --> 00:22:15,868 Speaker 3: you can speak to this, it's almost like people just 506 00:22:15,908 --> 00:22:18,788 Speaker 3: see you as a number or their fantasy football player 507 00:22:19,108 --> 00:22:22,188 Speaker 3: of the week that's helping them and their fantasy football drafts. 508 00:22:22,388 --> 00:22:24,268 Speaker 3: So do you like seeing this too that it sort 509 00:22:24,268 --> 00:22:27,348 Speaker 3: of humanizes some of these guys. It's particularly Marcus Mariota, 510 00:22:27,388 --> 00:22:29,188 Speaker 3: who we may or may not see this year. 511 00:22:29,348 --> 00:22:33,108 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so you said it humanizes as people instead 512 00:22:33,148 --> 00:22:35,788 Speaker 2: of just the players and the guys under the helmet, 513 00:22:35,788 --> 00:22:38,748 Speaker 2: you know, the warriors with the numbers. Because everybody has 514 00:22:38,788 --> 00:22:40,668 Speaker 2: a story, no matter how we all got to the NFL, 515 00:22:40,708 --> 00:22:42,988 Speaker 2: everybody got their own story and everybody got a family. 516 00:22:43,028 --> 00:22:44,948 Speaker 2: Everybody got somebody that love them, care about them. But 517 00:22:45,188 --> 00:22:47,708 Speaker 2: from the outside looking in, whether you whether the fan 518 00:22:47,828 --> 00:22:50,548 Speaker 2: is like deep in like fantasy or whatever, people in 519 00:22:50,588 --> 00:22:52,828 Speaker 2: they just see them as a you know, like a product. 520 00:22:52,868 --> 00:22:56,628 Speaker 2: But I'm super excited to watch this Netflix show. But 521 00:22:57,188 --> 00:22:59,028 Speaker 2: seeing them guys like Marcus be able to tell the 522 00:22:59,108 --> 00:23:01,508 Speaker 2: story Kirk Cousins, and I mean, everybody want to know 523 00:23:01,508 --> 00:23:04,108 Speaker 2: what Patrick Mahome's up to. But I'm super super excited. 524 00:23:04,108 --> 00:23:06,308 Speaker 2: I think the guy I'm more looking forward to his 525 00:23:06,668 --> 00:23:09,148 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins. I think he's done such a good job 526 00:23:09,188 --> 00:23:11,788 Speaker 2: in NFL for the time he's been in, and you 527 00:23:11,868 --> 00:23:13,828 Speaker 2: got to realize the things that he didn't overcome, like 528 00:23:14,028 --> 00:23:17,588 Speaker 2: playing on like two franchise tags before you get a 529 00:23:17,628 --> 00:23:20,468 Speaker 2: big deal. That's at a quarterback, that's such a big 530 00:23:20,548 --> 00:23:22,988 Speaker 2: risk of take. So obviously you see him he's just 531 00:23:23,108 --> 00:23:26,268 Speaker 2: you know, calm, well a demeanor guy, but I mean 532 00:23:26,308 --> 00:23:28,428 Speaker 2: he definitely bet on his self. He fiery and stuff 533 00:23:28,468 --> 00:23:30,428 Speaker 2: like that. So I'm excited to see a little more 534 00:23:30,468 --> 00:23:32,748 Speaker 2: about Kirk Cousins, some behind the scenes and what kind 535 00:23:32,748 --> 00:23:35,868 Speaker 2: of guy he is. I'm a fan of him. From Afar. 536 00:23:36,268 --> 00:23:39,308 Speaker 5: You spoke to the humanity of it, and I also 537 00:23:39,348 --> 00:23:43,108 Speaker 5: think the Deamar Hamlin situation last year really, for the 538 00:23:43,148 --> 00:23:47,348 Speaker 5: first time, for whatever reason, humanized the player behind the helmet. 539 00:23:47,548 --> 00:23:50,708 Speaker 5: And so when you get an opportunity to do something 540 00:23:50,748 --> 00:23:53,748 Speaker 5: like this in the transparent aspect of what this brings 541 00:23:53,788 --> 00:23:55,788 Speaker 5: to the table with one of the best in the NFL, 542 00:23:55,788 --> 00:23:57,708 Speaker 5: and Patrick Mahomes another one who's kind of been a 543 00:23:57,708 --> 00:23:59,588 Speaker 5: bit of a journeyman who's done the right thing along 544 00:23:59,628 --> 00:24:02,308 Speaker 5: the way. And then the Marcus Mariota storyline for me 545 00:24:02,428 --> 00:24:05,748 Speaker 5: is huge because most of the time, this is what 546 00:24:05,828 --> 00:24:09,908 Speaker 5: a roller coaster season feels like for a quarterback. Ultimately, 547 00:24:09,948 --> 00:24:12,588 Speaker 5: he would be benched in this twenty two season, he 548 00:24:12,628 --> 00:24:14,988 Speaker 5: would have a child, he would go away from the team. 549 00:24:15,268 --> 00:24:17,068 Speaker 2: They moved the rookie quarterback up. 550 00:24:17,108 --> 00:24:19,588 Speaker 5: This is kind of what a roller coaster season feels 551 00:24:19,628 --> 00:24:23,468 Speaker 5: like for most NFL quarterbacks. The exception to that rule 552 00:24:23,668 --> 00:24:26,108 Speaker 5: are the like Sir Patrick Mahomes and Peyton Mannings and 553 00:24:26,148 --> 00:24:28,588 Speaker 5: Tom Brady's. The other ones are trying to make a 554 00:24:28,628 --> 00:24:30,348 Speaker 5: living at it and to figure it out. So I 555 00:24:30,388 --> 00:24:32,988 Speaker 5: think this is going to be the most interesting one out. 556 00:24:32,788 --> 00:24:33,268 Speaker 2: Of the three. 557 00:24:33,468 --> 00:24:35,148 Speaker 6: Yeah, I want to see how deep they go in 558 00:24:35,188 --> 00:24:37,908 Speaker 6: details with the Marcus Mariota situations. I was there in 559 00:24:37,948 --> 00:24:39,828 Speaker 6: camp where Arthur Smith was asked about it, and he 560 00:24:39,948 --> 00:24:41,988 Speaker 6: was like, Netflix does a good job. I'm sure there'll 561 00:24:41,988 --> 00:24:45,348 Speaker 6: be some good parts and some historical fiction as well, 562 00:24:45,388 --> 00:24:48,268 Speaker 6: and so you know, I'm eager to see how that impacts. 563 00:24:48,428 --> 00:24:51,308 Speaker 6: But my big, big takeaways. I want to see Patrick Mahomes. 564 00:24:51,428 --> 00:24:53,908 Speaker 6: This dude is the best quarterback in the league, maybe 565 00:24:53,908 --> 00:24:55,828 Speaker 6: one of the best to ever play the game, But 566 00:24:55,868 --> 00:24:58,188 Speaker 6: we don't really get to see all that goes into 567 00:24:58,268 --> 00:25:01,108 Speaker 6: being Patrick Mahomes, all that goes into the work in 568 00:25:01,148 --> 00:25:03,588 Speaker 6: a week to be as great as he is on 569 00:25:03,628 --> 00:25:05,748 Speaker 6: the field. I know him a little bit. He's actually 570 00:25:05,948 --> 00:25:07,868 Speaker 6: very down to earth. He's a regular dude, and so 571 00:25:07,948 --> 00:25:10,348 Speaker 6: we'll get a glimpse of that, but also the work. 572 00:25:10,388 --> 00:25:12,708 Speaker 6: We see the special plays he makes on Sunday, but 573 00:25:12,828 --> 00:25:14,668 Speaker 6: you don't see the film review. You don't see the 574 00:25:14,708 --> 00:25:17,108 Speaker 6: time away from his family to be able to be 575 00:25:17,188 --> 00:25:19,868 Speaker 6: great in this element. And I think it'll be an 576 00:25:20,028 --> 00:25:22,868 Speaker 6: insight for us, but also maybe for other quarterbacks to 577 00:25:22,908 --> 00:25:25,388 Speaker 6: see just that extra step you have to take to 578 00:25:25,468 --> 00:25:29,388 Speaker 6: be a multi super Bowl winner, MVP and everything that 579 00:25:29,428 --> 00:25:31,308 Speaker 6: he is. So I can't wait to see this Netflix 580 00:25:31,308 --> 00:25:34,068 Speaker 6: documentary for all the three of these guys coming up 581 00:25:34,068 --> 00:25:34,468 Speaker 6: this week. 582 00:25:34,628 --> 00:25:36,468 Speaker 3: Look, we love Hard Knocks, but I love that when 583 00:25:36,508 --> 00:25:39,188 Speaker 3: they really go deep because I always feel I'm wanting 584 00:25:39,188 --> 00:25:41,268 Speaker 3: a little bit more sometimes when I watch Hard Knocks, 585 00:25:41,308 --> 00:25:43,348 Speaker 3: and it's always hard to tell a story. We're here 586 00:25:43,428 --> 00:25:46,188 Speaker 3: on the team, So fire that one up on Netflix, 587 00:25:46,268 --> 00:25:48,228 Speaker 3: and I'm sure what we talk about that here on 588 00:25:48,228 --> 00:25:51,428 Speaker 3: the show. But Good Morning Football is coming back after 589 00:25:51,468 --> 00:25:53,828 Speaker 3: this some final moments of this group as some of 590 00:25:53,908 --> 00:25:55,148 Speaker 3: us wrap it up for the week. 591 00:26:08,388 --> 00:26:10,068 Speaker 2: Good Morning Football. 592 00:26:11,308 --> 00:26:15,228 Speaker 5: We've got a quarterback former quarterback here and a defensive 593 00:26:15,348 --> 00:26:20,308 Speaker 5: lineman in studio, So let's break down our favorite opponents 594 00:26:20,868 --> 00:26:23,308 Speaker 5: on the other side of the ball in another edition 595 00:26:23,748 --> 00:26:28,988 Speaker 5: of three on three. Grady Jarrett joining us here. So 596 00:26:29,028 --> 00:26:32,988 Speaker 5: whenever I prepared for games, we're each gonna go present 597 00:26:33,068 --> 00:26:35,588 Speaker 5: our top three lists. I'll be breaking down my top 598 00:26:35,588 --> 00:26:38,788 Speaker 5: three favorite defensive lineman. You, of course, are gonna reveal 599 00:26:38,868 --> 00:26:42,388 Speaker 5: your top three quarterbacks you have gotten to take to 600 00:26:42,388 --> 00:26:42,748 Speaker 5: the ground. 601 00:26:42,788 --> 00:26:44,228 Speaker 2: Yes, sir, all right, I'm gonna go first. 602 00:26:45,388 --> 00:26:49,708 Speaker 5: This guy absolutely was a part of my life since 603 00:26:49,748 --> 00:26:53,428 Speaker 5: I was about eighteen years old. Darryl Russell, former USC 604 00:26:53,508 --> 00:26:57,228 Speaker 5: trojan who just got after my tail in college and 605 00:26:57,268 --> 00:27:00,428 Speaker 5: then was drafted by the Oakland Raiders, which meant I 606 00:27:00,508 --> 00:27:03,948 Speaker 5: had to face him twice a year. He was a 607 00:27:04,028 --> 00:27:06,828 Speaker 5: force in the middle, very similar to what Grady does. 608 00:27:07,268 --> 00:27:11,588 Speaker 5: Big physical, just put guys to the side and ultimately 609 00:27:12,108 --> 00:27:15,188 Speaker 5: got the quarterback on the ground. Unfortunately lost him in 610 00:27:15,188 --> 00:27:17,308 Speaker 5: two thousand and five, but this was a good way 611 00:27:17,348 --> 00:27:19,748 Speaker 5: to remember him. He was an incredible player and someone 612 00:27:19,788 --> 00:27:21,868 Speaker 5: that I really look up to and enjoyed playing against 613 00:27:21,908 --> 00:27:26,948 Speaker 5: every single time. All Right, Grady, we're gonna give you 614 00:27:26,948 --> 00:27:30,788 Speaker 5: your quarterback. You love to sack the most, your number 615 00:27:30,788 --> 00:27:33,628 Speaker 5: three spot. Who do you got for my number three spot? 616 00:27:33,748 --> 00:27:36,148 Speaker 2: And then all the quarterbacks I sacked so far, I'm 617 00:27:36,188 --> 00:27:39,428 Speaker 2: gonna go with Russell Wilson as my third favorite sac 618 00:27:39,628 --> 00:27:41,948 Speaker 2: just because I mean, he's such a good good quarterback 619 00:27:41,988 --> 00:27:44,668 Speaker 2: man was he was at Seattle, he had all I mean, 620 00:27:44,788 --> 00:27:46,668 Speaker 2: he had the city on lock. So every time we 621 00:27:46,748 --> 00:27:48,388 Speaker 2: played them, I just I just I don't know, I 622 00:27:48,468 --> 00:27:50,068 Speaker 2: just want to go give him a big hug, you 623 00:27:50,108 --> 00:27:52,468 Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. So, yeah, Russell Wilson is definitely 624 00:27:52,788 --> 00:27:56,028 Speaker 2: on my top three quarterbacks. I enjoyed sacking and heck 625 00:27:56,108 --> 00:27:58,108 Speaker 2: of a player, and they always brought out the best 626 00:27:58,108 --> 00:28:00,908 Speaker 2: in me and and love to compete against him. 627 00:28:01,028 --> 00:28:03,228 Speaker 5: You talk about bringing out the best in you, I 628 00:28:03,428 --> 00:28:05,828 Speaker 5: think that's probably you go up against somebody like Russell Wilson, 629 00:28:05,868 --> 00:28:08,388 Speaker 5: especially when he vacates the puck a lot and moves 630 00:28:08,428 --> 00:28:10,868 Speaker 5: around when you're going into a game like that, what 631 00:28:11,028 --> 00:28:12,708 Speaker 5: was your mindset on how to corral him and then 632 00:28:12,708 --> 00:28:13,388 Speaker 5: get him on the ground. 633 00:28:13,388 --> 00:28:15,428 Speaker 2: You gotta close the pocket fast because if you get 634 00:28:15,428 --> 00:28:17,428 Speaker 2: out in the open, get the running around, now, he 635 00:28:17,508 --> 00:28:19,308 Speaker 2: might got the advantage on me, you know what I'm saying. 636 00:28:19,348 --> 00:28:21,908 Speaker 2: So so you gotta get it. Get disrupt the pucket fast, 637 00:28:21,908 --> 00:28:24,348 Speaker 2: get try to split the double team and get there 638 00:28:24,348 --> 00:28:25,868 Speaker 2: as soon as you can, because once he get out, 639 00:28:25,908 --> 00:28:28,228 Speaker 2: that's when he is best, you know, moving around the pucket, 640 00:28:28,268 --> 00:28:30,988 Speaker 2: making big plays downfield. So our best option was to 641 00:28:31,228 --> 00:28:32,708 Speaker 2: get him, not let not let him get out of 642 00:28:32,708 --> 00:28:34,508 Speaker 2: the class fast. Yeah, get him on the ground. 643 00:28:34,588 --> 00:28:37,828 Speaker 5: My number two defensive lineman played in Arrowhead Stadium where 644 00:28:37,908 --> 00:28:41,548 Speaker 5: rookie quarterbacks careers go to die, and that's exactically what 645 00:28:41,628 --> 00:28:45,468 Speaker 5: mister Derek Thomas did in a big game against me, 646 00:28:45,548 --> 00:28:47,828 Speaker 5: my third game in the NFL. He he was special, 647 00:28:47,908 --> 00:28:50,548 Speaker 5: he was he was undersized, He was able to get 648 00:28:50,588 --> 00:28:53,708 Speaker 5: around the edges and get after the quarterback. He got 649 00:28:53,748 --> 00:28:55,348 Speaker 5: after me quite a lot if I could just simply 650 00:28:55,348 --> 00:28:57,588 Speaker 5: pick up the ball there. It was a rainy, rainy 651 00:28:57,668 --> 00:29:00,588 Speaker 5: day there and Arrowhead, But Derek Thomas had a heck 652 00:29:00,588 --> 00:29:02,508 Speaker 5: of a game you know this is this is kind 653 00:29:02,508 --> 00:29:05,028 Speaker 5: of a way to memorialize guys as well too. Derek 654 00:29:05,388 --> 00:29:09,028 Speaker 5: of course, unfortunately lost his life too before his career 655 00:29:09,068 --> 00:29:11,588 Speaker 5: was over. And he was a special player and someone 656 00:29:11,628 --> 00:29:14,148 Speaker 5: that I thought we should recognize because of how great 657 00:29:14,508 --> 00:29:17,988 Speaker 5: he was at what he did. All right, Grady, who's 658 00:29:18,028 --> 00:29:19,308 Speaker 5: your number two quarterback? 659 00:29:19,348 --> 00:29:19,628 Speaker 7: You like this? 660 00:29:19,668 --> 00:29:22,028 Speaker 2: Say so my number two quarterback might be a surprise 661 00:29:22,068 --> 00:29:23,948 Speaker 2: that he's my number two, But my number two quarterback 662 00:29:23,948 --> 00:29:26,868 Speaker 2: favorite sex is Tom Brady. Got to sack him three 663 00:29:26,868 --> 00:29:29,188 Speaker 2: times in the Super Bowl and a couple of times 664 00:29:29,228 --> 00:29:30,868 Speaker 2: when he was down to Tampa Bay. The best to 665 00:29:30,868 --> 00:29:34,108 Speaker 2: ever played the game. And you know, just being able to, 666 00:29:34,228 --> 00:29:36,428 Speaker 2: you know, have a coming out party. Just playing against 667 00:29:36,468 --> 00:29:37,748 Speaker 2: him in the Super Bowl was good. But I mean 668 00:29:37,748 --> 00:29:39,188 Speaker 2: at the end that he won the game. So a 669 00:29:39,228 --> 00:29:41,668 Speaker 2: little softy about that still, but but yeah, but he 670 00:29:41,788 --> 00:29:44,348 Speaker 2: number two. I gotta treat for you for my number one, 671 00:29:44,348 --> 00:29:45,908 Speaker 2: But I love love second Tom Brady. 672 00:29:45,948 --> 00:29:47,428 Speaker 3: Did you get a jersey from him? 673 00:29:47,748 --> 00:29:49,628 Speaker 2: I haven't got a jersey, man, I think I deserve 674 00:29:49,668 --> 00:29:51,108 Speaker 2: a little jersey, you know what I mean? Much as 675 00:29:51,188 --> 00:29:53,188 Speaker 2: much time we to spend together in the backfield, man, 676 00:29:53,188 --> 00:29:55,028 Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying just just just out of 677 00:29:55,068 --> 00:29:57,908 Speaker 2: love him. Love apology to me too for because of 678 00:29:57,988 --> 00:29:59,068 Speaker 2: what we should not speak. 679 00:29:58,828 --> 00:30:04,028 Speaker 5: About that play last year is when you're talking about 680 00:30:04,028 --> 00:30:04,868 Speaker 5: probably right. 681 00:30:05,588 --> 00:30:09,268 Speaker 6: You said, I want to talk about that great talk 682 00:30:09,308 --> 00:30:09,868 Speaker 6: about that too. 683 00:30:09,948 --> 00:30:12,948 Speaker 5: So you wrapped him up, you spun him around, you 684 00:30:13,028 --> 00:30:14,948 Speaker 5: let him go when you were up, and you get called. 685 00:30:14,748 --> 00:30:17,668 Speaker 2: For the flag on it. Quarterbacks, you know I had 686 00:30:17,668 --> 00:30:19,868 Speaker 2: to beat them. I mean, you know what, if we 687 00:30:19,908 --> 00:30:22,628 Speaker 2: can start getting better officiating on that, I'll take the fall. 688 00:30:22,628 --> 00:30:25,228 Speaker 2: I'll take the fall, all right, right, you know if 689 00:30:25,228 --> 00:30:26,628 Speaker 2: you had to go through that so we don't have 690 00:30:26,668 --> 00:30:28,628 Speaker 2: to go through that this next coming season. I love it. 691 00:30:28,668 --> 00:30:29,028 Speaker 3: I love it. 692 00:30:29,588 --> 00:30:32,388 Speaker 5: A monument of change, ye yes, I'll be all right 693 00:30:33,148 --> 00:30:35,948 Speaker 5: speaking of a monument of a man. My number one 694 00:30:35,988 --> 00:30:38,828 Speaker 5: defensive lineman to go up against simply is one of 695 00:30:38,828 --> 00:30:41,428 Speaker 5: the best guy who's been able to transition from the 696 00:30:41,508 --> 00:30:44,708 Speaker 5: league to an incredible post career. But Michael Strahan from 697 00:30:44,708 --> 00:30:47,508 Speaker 5: the New York Giants, his time against me my rookie year, 698 00:30:47,548 --> 00:30:50,548 Speaker 5: as well as my time with him with the Dallas Cowboys, 699 00:30:50,548 --> 00:30:54,028 Speaker 5: He's just a guy that got after the quarterback. He 700 00:30:54,108 --> 00:30:56,988 Speaker 5: was able to put people on the ground. He was 701 00:30:57,068 --> 00:31:00,108 Speaker 5: athletic and Brian, you got to get rid of the football, 702 00:31:00,148 --> 00:31:01,628 Speaker 5: all right, you just gotta get rid of the football. 703 00:31:01,628 --> 00:31:02,268 Speaker 2: That's what rookies do. 704 00:31:02,268 --> 00:31:03,788 Speaker 5: They hold on the ball too long, and they allowed 705 00:31:03,908 --> 00:31:06,108 Speaker 5: guys like my straight hand to get extra sacks. Okay, 706 00:31:06,228 --> 00:31:08,588 Speaker 5: And I will say this too about Michael. He's maybe 707 00:31:08,628 --> 00:31:11,108 Speaker 5: one of the most personable human beings that I know. 708 00:31:11,188 --> 00:31:13,788 Speaker 5: When I went through all my struggles and I had 709 00:31:13,868 --> 00:31:15,828 Speaker 5: to deal with a lot of things, Michael Strahan was 710 00:31:15,828 --> 00:31:18,068 Speaker 5: one of the men that actually reached out and continues 711 00:31:18,108 --> 00:31:20,588 Speaker 5: to be a confidant and a mentor, especially in this 712 00:31:20,628 --> 00:31:24,508 Speaker 5: broadcasting game. So I will allow this. I will allow this, 713 00:31:24,548 --> 00:31:27,068 Speaker 5: Michael Straighthan simply because of the man you are. He 714 00:31:27,268 --> 00:31:29,628 Speaker 5: was the guy at number one who was the funnest 715 00:31:29,668 --> 00:31:32,428 Speaker 5: to go up against as a defensive liignment. All right, Grady, 716 00:31:32,588 --> 00:31:35,428 Speaker 5: you're in your number one quarterback. You wanted to see 717 00:31:35,508 --> 00:31:36,068 Speaker 5: on the ground. 718 00:31:36,188 --> 00:31:38,108 Speaker 2: My number one quarterback I wanted to see on the ground. 719 00:31:38,148 --> 00:31:40,588 Speaker 2: And I'm certain Falcons fans will appreciate this man. The 720 00:31:40,668 --> 00:31:45,148 Speaker 2: Lizard himself Drew Brees and they had like a two 721 00:31:45,188 --> 00:31:47,068 Speaker 2: and a half three sack game against him early in 722 00:31:47,108 --> 00:31:49,068 Speaker 2: my career. Had it's funny this sack right here. I 723 00:31:49,228 --> 00:31:50,748 Speaker 2: didn't realize I even sacked them. A kid can see. 724 00:31:50,788 --> 00:31:54,388 Speaker 2: I looked down, but it turned over. But yeah, so 725 00:31:54,708 --> 00:31:57,388 Speaker 2: sack and Drew Brees man. Usually, you know, for Drew, 726 00:31:57,548 --> 00:31:59,188 Speaker 2: quick as he get the ball out, you would always 727 00:31:59,188 --> 00:32:00,788 Speaker 2: think that you would we wouldn't have time to get 728 00:32:00,828 --> 00:32:02,788 Speaker 2: to him. But I mean I always got some good 729 00:32:02,828 --> 00:32:04,268 Speaker 2: hits on him and got off to the ground. And 730 00:32:04,468 --> 00:32:06,988 Speaker 2: being in New Orleans taking that fight to you know today, King, 731 00:32:07,068 --> 00:32:09,308 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, it's it meant it meant 732 00:32:09,348 --> 00:32:10,748 Speaker 2: a lot to me, you know what I'm saying. So 733 00:32:10,948 --> 00:32:13,148 Speaker 2: uh so, Yeah, Drew Brees is gonna be the number one. 734 00:32:13,028 --> 00:32:14,908 Speaker 5: Top of my list. Twice a year. You got a 735 00:32:14,988 --> 00:32:17,148 Speaker 5: chance to get up against him. Let's go back and 736 00:32:17,188 --> 00:32:20,468 Speaker 5: revisit this.
