I am Kimmy Checks joining 4 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: alongside these awesome guys. We've got pre Peter Schrager, you 5 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: guys know who he is, Michael Robinson and James Palmer. 6 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 1: It's time for Lee Block Listen. Probably heard rumor it's 7 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,319 Speaker 1: Combine weeks. That is probably what you've heard. And you've 8 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: got to catch every single second of the twenty twenty 9 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: two NFL scouting Combine presented by Verizon. We've got around 10 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: the clock coverage on NFL Network starting Thursday, March third, 11 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: our live coverage. It begins at four pm Thursday, Friday 12 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: and Saturday, two pm on Sunday. So we're talking about 13 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: the com by, you might as well go right out 14 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: to Indianapolis. I'm bringing our Marry owned Tom Palace Saros Tom. 15 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: Good morning. What are we going to hear about the 16 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: quarterbacks leading up to their workouts which start on the Thursday. 17 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: What are some of the biggest questions with this group 18 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: of young qbs. Well, Kimmy, let's start out with what 19 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: else Kenny Pickett's hand size. You might have heard during 20 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl week Pickett was the only quarterback who did 21 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: not get his hands measured. Pickett told me that week 22 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: that it's because he has what he refers to as 23 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: double jointed thumbs. Basically, his thumbs point toward his poem 24 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: when they're in a resting position, so they're gonna measure 25 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: bigger when they're around the football than they do line 26 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 1: flat on the table, which is the way that they 27 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: measure hands. So Picket's been doing a lot of joint 28 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: mobility exercises. We may get finally an answer on his 29 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: hand size coming up this week. Medical is always big 30 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: at the combine, certainly is going to be for Carson 31 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: Strong and the quarterback from Nevada. He's had a series 32 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: of knee surgeries going back to high school. Had two 33 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: procedures on that knee last year. It's a condition called osteochondritus, 34 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: where the cartilage begins to separate from the bone. Now, 35 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: he told me that he probably shouldn't have even been 36 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: playing last year, but he feels like it's mobility is 37 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: one hundred times better now than it was then. Thirty 38 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: two team doctors, thirty two different degrees of risk tolerance. 39 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: They'll all get a look at strong in that need 40 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: this week. Then he got Matt Correll from Ole, miss 41 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: the only one of the top quarterbacks who is not 42 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl. He's had well documented issues with depression, 43 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: with alcohol. He has been open discussing those things. Let's 44 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: be the first opportunity for teams to get him in 45 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: the room, have those conversations. Teams will also get Correll 46 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: on a scale. He was listed in college at six 47 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: two two o five and let's just say there's a 48 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: little bit of skepticism that he's even that big guys. Oh, 49 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: Tommy p is not just workouts in Indie. The Competition 50 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,119 Speaker 1: Committee is set to meet this week. Could we see 51 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: a change in overtime rules? Well, Mike, we're not going 52 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: to get a vote on the overtime changes, but certainly 53 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: there's going to be a lot of discussions in those 54 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: conversations with the Competition Committee and the coach's subcommittee. In fact, 55 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: our Judy Batista reported last night that the Indianapolis Colts 56 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: have already submitted a proposal that would change the rule 57 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: for both the regular season and the postseason to give 58 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: each team at least one possession regardless of what happens 59 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: on the first possession. Now, they're going to discuss this 60 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: for the first time at length on Tuesday, but my 61 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: understanding it has been there's not a lot of appetite 62 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: to make the change in the regular season. That's in 63 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: part because since the NFL made the change to go 64 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: to the modified sudden death, where a team can only 65 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: end the game with a touchdown on the first possession, 66 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: it's basically fifty fifty in the regular season whether or 67 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: not the team that wins the coin flip wins the game. However, 68 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: in the postseason the percentage goes way up, which makes sense. 69 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: You got better quarterbacks that got a better chance of 70 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: going down and scoring a touchdown. So the belief seems 71 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: to be and again it's early here that the most 72 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: likely scenario is a change for the postseason only that 73 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: would give both teams one possession and then if the 74 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: game remains tied, that you would go into sudden death. 75 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: One of those conversations are going to continue here, and 76 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: it would require twenty four of thirty two owners to 77 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: vote yes in order to make any change. Guys, Tom, 78 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,839 Speaker 1: thank you so much. We will hear from you more 79 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: on the Leader in the show today and this week 80 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: with all of our Combine coverage, now the Combine, the 81 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: draft agency, the entire offseason. It's about building to this moment, 82 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,119 Speaker 1: this moment when the Rams they secured that dove over 83 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: the Bengal Super Bowl fifty six in Los Angeles. But 84 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: now that the dust has settled on the Super Bowl 85 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: celebrations and the parade, those run it back chats as well? 86 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: Can the Rams actually do it? Can they indeed run 87 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: it back? How much of that Super Bowl championship roster 88 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: will be back on the field for the twenty twenty 89 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: two season. There are some big time superstars who are 90 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: set to hit free agency in just a couple weeks. 91 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: You see those names on screen right now. Now, guys, 92 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: it's not been done since the two thousand and three 93 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: in two thousand and four Patriots. But can the Rams 94 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,799 Speaker 1: do it? Are the Rams position to repeat a Super 95 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: Bowl champions Peter, the look on your face tells me 96 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: you may have some question. It was some week for 97 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: Sean McVay. Let me take you through coach mcvay's week. 98 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: A lot of rumors he's gonna take a TV job, 99 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: A lot of rumors that there's TV jobs available. There 100 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: was all rumors in speculation, and last time we're on 101 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: the air was a Friday four break and I said, 102 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: I know that the networks are calling, but this guy 103 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: still has more to do, and I don't think he'd 104 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: leaves Stafford. And then Troy Aikman got an eighteen million 105 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: dollar deal on an eighteen million dollars deal making more 106 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: than Cooper cup Stefon Diggs. Name the wide receiver you 107 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: want combined to call a football game next year on ESPN. 108 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: Amazon did come calling for Sean McVay. I'm told that 109 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: there was not direct conversation, but there was some speculation 110 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: that he might actually consider it. But while that was 111 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: all going on, I was talking to Sean and he 112 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: was telling me about the staff that he was building. 113 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: So here's this looming object of a potential big payday 114 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: to work one day a week and to be in 115 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: the booth and be home at thirty six years old 116 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: with a Super Bowl rang. And there's other issue of 117 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: can I leave my guys? Can I convince people to 118 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: leave their jobs and their families only to desert them afterwards. 119 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: But then there's Liam Cohen and who is Liam Cohen, 120 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: And why does that matter. Liam Cohen is one of 121 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: the hottest offensive coordinators in football. He was Kentucky's OC 122 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: this year. This guy worked from twenty eighteen to twenty 123 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: twenty with the Rams. Takes the Kentucky OC job under 124 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,679 Speaker 1: Mark Stoops and they light it up. They win ten games, 125 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: They average forty points over the last five games, and 126 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: he is the pick of the letter. Can do anything 127 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: he wants as far as me and McVeigh called him 128 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: during all of this Amazon stuff and all of this 129 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: Fox stuff and McVay saying you gotta come leave Lexington 130 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: where he had it good and he was making good money. 131 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: But McVeigh was courting him, so through it all, I 132 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: didn't think he was gonna leave it take the TV job. 133 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: And the last point about this why I think they 134 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: are positioned. He's had coaches leave all the time. They 135 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: always leave. Brandon Staley left, Lafour left, Zach Taylor left. 136 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: What they don't do is they don't rebuild, They reload. 137 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: And I think that as the players leave, they're going 138 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: to find a way to make up for it, like 139 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: they always do. And as the coaches leave, guys like 140 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: Liam Cohen and greg Olsen. Those guys will step up 141 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: and they'll be just fine. On the coaches, I do 142 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: think they are poised to return because of what they've 143 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: built there and what the culture is. One last note, 144 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: McVeigh will not be at the Combine. Another thing him 145 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: just taking the NFL World on said saying we had 146 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: too much to do. This season ended about two weeks ago. 147 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: I need to work. I can't be at the Combine 148 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: If he b will have to wait. He's a Ram 149 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: and I think the Rams are gonna be right back 150 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: where they were. At least they're well positioned to do 151 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: so if injuries don't strike them. I'm gonna say I 152 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: don't see it right now. If we are looking at 153 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: it right now, there's just too many question marks that 154 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: are out there. Peter breaks down all the changes on 155 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: the coaching staff. Now, I will say that's happened the 156 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: last several years. Ye Actually, Jean mcfaniy ha's been brilliant 157 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: at it. But at the same time, I look at 158 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior as a question mark with his health 159 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: and as he coming back. Von Miller is a question mark. 160 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: Whether he's coming back. I know that he wants to 161 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: weigh his options around the league. This might be his 162 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: last chance for a major payday and he wants to 163 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: see what's out there, even though he might want to 164 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: come back. At the same time, Aaron Donald, we think 165 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: he may come back, but that's still another question mark. 166 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: Losing the best player in all of football is kind 167 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: of a big deal sometimes when that happens to your roster, 168 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: But to me, it's protecting Matthew Stafford. We saw those 169 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: names listed on that full screen, the two in the 170 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: middle that people may not know in terms of Brian 171 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: Allen and Austin Corbitt, like you could lose three offensive 172 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: linemen this and Andrew Whitworth if he potentially retires. That's 173 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: the three. And then if he retires, it would be 174 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,679 Speaker 1: Joe Nopum who would step into his spot, who played 175 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: well in the times that he was out there. He's 176 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: a free agent as well, so you'd had an undrafted 177 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: free agent at left tackle sliding in if both those 178 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: things don't work out. Now, again, I will put this 179 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: as a positive sense. They have the money to move around. 180 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: Right now, you look at the cap and they're over 181 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: the cap. They have the ability to move money like 182 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: crazy and be able to make some of these things happen. 183 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: What I am excited about the positive part of it, 184 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: as I say all these questions, is I want to 185 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: see Sean mcvayh and Matthew Stafford in season two of 186 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: their off season. I was with Brady that whole training 187 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: camp that first year in Tampa, and you watched him 188 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: every single day just try to figure things out, and 189 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: he was just kind of swimming the greatest of all 190 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 1: time kind of swimming out there trying to figure it 191 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: all out. And he goes and wins the Super Bowl. 192 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: Stafford does the same thing. But I remember asking Brady 193 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 1: heading into that second offseason and he said, it's completely 194 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: different night and day. We go in now to this 195 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: offseason with a plan. We know what we want to 196 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: accomplish in OTAs. I know that we need to work 197 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: on this, this, and this. And when Sean McVeigh Mike 198 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: repeatedly always says, with Matthew Stafford's arm, there is nothing 199 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: we can't do in the passing game his mind. Second 200 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: offseason working with Matthew Stafford, I'm excited to see what 201 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: the two can do leading into this season and James, 202 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: That's what I'm excited about Man. I really think Matthew Stafford. 203 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: I think he's seen a little bit of success in 204 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: this offense, success in the playoffs that we haven't seen 205 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: in his career, and I think he's gonna be even 206 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: more hungry for it. I mean, think about it. He 207 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: was one of the leaders and interceptions and they still 208 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. He's still had his Matthew Stafford moments. 209 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: And I think the intriguing part with Sean McVeigh and 210 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: the reason why he didn't go to the booth because 211 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: a part of me thought he would. Man honestly, man 212 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: to make twenty million would But I think the intriguing 213 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: part for Sean McVeigh is being able to repeat, to 214 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: see Matthew Stafford in this offense another season, to be 215 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: able to change his offense a little bit. That's why 216 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: I think he went back into college to get his OC. 217 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: I think he's looking at offense and thinking, how can 218 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: I change this thing up? How can I put something 219 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,599 Speaker 1: new into the National Football League and still win a 220 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: Super Bowl and do it? And James to your point, 221 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: with these free agents, Hollywood is gonna sell him man. 222 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: I mean, at the end of the day, we were 223 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: all out there in Los Angeles. Man the sunny weather again, 224 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: it's beautiful. Hollywood is gonna sell them on the free agent. 225 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,719 Speaker 1: So I think Aaron Donald, I think he's coming back. 226 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, people are 227 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: gonna talk about him. It's not a money play, guys, 228 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: It's a money play in my opinion. I mean, he's 229 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: the best player in all the football play him, pay 230 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 1: him like that. And James, I think you said something 231 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: earlier his payers something dramatically drops or something. This year. 232 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: You need to pay him like the best player in football. 233 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: And as long as you got that dude in the 234 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: middle of your defense, you're gonna have a chance every 235 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: single year. And I think von Miller comes back. I 236 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: do think von Miller takes a little bit of a 237 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: discount to be able to play with an Aaron Donald, 238 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: because again, von Miller knows what it's like to be chased. 239 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: Von Miller knows what it's like to be the hunted, 240 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: to be the top in the National Football League and 241 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: teams are giving you basically a super Bowl every single week. 242 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: I want to see how this Los Angeles Rams team 243 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: responds to this type of adversity. Being on top of 244 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: that Mountaintown. So we know that Matthew Stafford was great 245 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 1: this season, right, we were so happy he wasn't able 246 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: to get it done with the Lions. But his first 247 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: season in LA he wins the Super Bowl. They have 248 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: the offensive player in the year, right, Cooper Cup, he's good. 249 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: What happens to your other receivers? Odell Beckham Junior? He's 250 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: out with an ACL injury, just had surgery just days 251 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: after the Super Bowl. Robert Woods is going to come 252 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: back with the ACL injury? Right, he got that injury? 253 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: What the day that OBJ walked onto site for the Rams? 254 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: What's gonna happen? You got Van Jefferson, he's there. You 255 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: have Cooper Cup, who's so incredible. Yeah, guess what? You 256 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 1: can't win games with just Cooper Cup in Matthew Stafford. Yes, 257 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: hopefully there's a chance that, you know, all those guys 258 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: and all those pieces can come back together for the Rams. 259 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: But what if they don't. So we know that Matthew 260 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 1: Stafford was good. He was fine in the Super Bowl, right, 261 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup was the MVP. Cooper Cup was the reason 262 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: they won that in the final drive too. But what 263 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 1: happens if you don't just have to rely on Cooper Cup. Yeah, 264 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: you can run it back. You get all those pieces together, 265 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: two guys coming back from acl injuries. I don't know 266 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: that final drive. He gets under center, he looks around 267 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: Stafford for all the dream team talk. He's got Ben 268 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: Skerlnick as his number two. He's got Bryson Hopkins as 269 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: his tight end, who hadn't done anything all season, and 270 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: they went to Cup, Cup, Cup Cup. They found away 271 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: that way. But you're right, over the course of eighteen weeks, 272 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: it can't be Cup, Cup, Cup Cup every single time. 273 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: The twenty twenty one season is over. But before we 274 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: fully move on to the off season and everything that 275 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: comes with it, let's go ahead and take a look 276 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: back at some areas where teams performed well last season 277 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: with a new segment we are calling the twenty twenty 278 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: one report guards. So today we're gonna go ahead look 279 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 1: at the AFC es Peter, why don't you start us off? 280 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: Who got an a report card? What team was it? 281 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: I was a political science major, but I like to 282 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: say that took a few economics classes, really, and I 283 00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: was an econ one oh one, and it's all about 284 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: being economically efficient, so that you can do something long term. 285 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: I'm looking at Denver Broncos and for me, George Peyton, 286 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: their GM get to a grade in economics. Economics because 287 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: they nailed the first tew picks of the draft last year, 288 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: and that set them up for this offseason where they 289 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 1: can do something at the quarterback spot. If they had 290 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: taken Justin Fields at number nine overall, or had they 291 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: had taken Mac Jones at number nine overall, maybe they 292 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: would have been to the playoffs last year, we don't know. Instead, 293 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 1: they took Patrick's certain and then they went and they 294 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: took Javante Williams, and then they went and took Quinn Miners. 295 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: All three of those players were hugely important last year 296 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: for the Denver Broncos. They are all making second year 297 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: player money. I say all that because there is some 298 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: money to spend this year. There is also an ability 299 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 1: to then be a little loose with the draft capital 300 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: this year. If you are going to go for Aaron Rodgers, 301 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: last year might not have been the year to do it. 302 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: This year is the year to do it. And when 303 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: you load up with young talented players who are making 304 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: first contract money, you can then go spend big money 305 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: on a big prize if he is indeed going to 306 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: be on the block. So I will give an though 307 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 1: they missed the playoffs and they did end up firing 308 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: their coach and having a whole new staff, the GM 309 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: gets an A for the roster building and being economically efficient. 310 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about the Kansas City Chiefs. They 311 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: did a lot of great things this season, but a 312 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: class that they got an A in was definitely probability 313 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: and I wasn't great, and probability is either. Guys, I 314 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: was terrible in that class. But you look at what 315 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: the Chiefs did. They started this season three and four. Okay, 316 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: everybody had them. They're not going to the playoffs. They're 317 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: gonna be terrible. Look at the way defenses are playing 318 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: against them. They hadn't learned their lesson, and guys, after 319 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: about week seven they went on They won nine out 320 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: of ten games. I mean, they just went on a 321 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: winning street. Patrick Mahomes, he figured out how to defeat 322 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: the defenses that are playing them. You know, just take 323 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: with the defensive giving them that two high shells. Times 324 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: you gotta run the football. Sometimes you just gotta take 325 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: the short pass and take the check now and let 326 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: guys like Tyreek Hill, go Ham guys. But I would 327 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: have to say the Kansas City Chiefs got an A 328 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: in probability, which I was terrible, and I'm glad they 329 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: got an A. Let's move this forward though. One of 330 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: my degrees from the illustrious school of the Ohio State 331 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: University with Sports and leisure studies. What gets you great 332 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: ratings in TV? Drama gets you great ratings in television, 333 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: and that is what the Chargers get an A? And 334 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: how about must see TV? Friends, seinfeld e er, Now 335 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: must see TV was the Chargers think about the way 336 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: all these games happened. I was at a number of them. 337 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: I'll take you back to this game right here, I'm 338 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: standing at about the ten yard line when this play happened, 339 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: and I'll take you through this drive. It was twenty four, 340 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: twenty four, with forty eight seconds to go. The balls 341 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: on Kansas City's thirty. It's fourth and four. They get 342 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: a false start. They go back to fourth and nine. 343 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: Austin Eckler told me after the game, we're in the 344 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: huddle going, we're going for this from the thirty five. 345 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: We're going from this tide right now, all right? They 346 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: get a Pi, I call two Mike Williams completions later 347 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: that was the second one and they win it. And 348 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: he told me after the game, this is our identity. 349 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: Apparently coach showed us that we're gonna go for it 350 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: on fourth down. We're gonna go and try to win games. 351 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: They converted two of thirty four fourth downs. Now, get this. 352 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: It may have ended the way the Seinfeld finale, YEA 353 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: with a dun, but I'm gonna say this. They told 354 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: us what they're gonna be. Brandon Staley said, I'm gonna 355 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: grow in my second year, but he said I'm not 356 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: gonna make a lot of changes from what I did. 357 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: That's telling us we're going to continue to go for 358 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: it on fourth down. Now you say that did bite them. 359 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: Only one fourth down that they didn't convert resulted in 360 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: the opposing team getting a touchdown. They converted more fourth 361 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: downs than anybody else in football, and I guess the 362 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: fourth most in terms of percentage, twenty two to thirty four. 363 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: This is their identity, but their identity is fun to watch, 364 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: and that is going to be where I give them 365 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: their A. All right, well, I guess I gotta put 366 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: a bow on this A West. I mean they go 367 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: to talk about the Raiders. I'm a Chiefs fan. I'm 368 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: from Kansas City. I love the FC West because it's 369 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: my team. I have the utmost respect for what that 370 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: Raiders team did this season. Absolutely, you know what, you 371 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna get them an A in psychology, 372 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: talk about drama. They had nothing but drama all season long. 373 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: You lose your head coach in October, your number one receiver, 374 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: you're without him. Darren Waller has an injury prone year. 375 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: You got your special team's coordinator steps up as your 376 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: head coach. What happens? You still win games? A plus 377 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: in psychology. Derek definitely stepped up from a leadership standpoint. 378 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: I know guys in the locker room and they were like, dude, 379 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 1: if it wasn't for Derek Car in this locker room 380 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: this year, we wouldn't have won the games, we wouldn't 381 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: have gotten to the playoffs. Kudos. I agree with you 382 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: on that point, totally agree. Cheers to you, Derek Carr. 383 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: Coming up, we have so much more quarterback chatter. Which 384 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: quarterbacks will we have our eyes on at the combine? 385 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: And what's the latest with Aaron Rodgers. Same conversation. Stay 386 00:17:45,560 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: tuned football. Welcome in the Good Morning Football presented by RAM. 387 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: We're here, We're live in New York City. It's Monday 388 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: morning in February twenty eight. I'm Kimmy Checks. Alongside these legends, 389 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 1: we got Peter Schrager, Michael Robinson, and James Palmer. Now, gentlemen, 390 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: there's always a lot of action in Indianapolis this week, 391 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: and no doubt the topic of Aaron Rodgers is going 392 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: to come up with coaches and front office staff. After all, 393 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: it was the story all last offseason and here we 394 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: are yet again after winning yet another MVP. Do we 395 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: think that the Packers should trade Aaron Rodgers while his 396 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: value is the highest? No? Next segment. No, I don't 397 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: know how you could think that this is a smart 398 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: play when Aaron Rodgers gives you the best chance to 399 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl. I'm not sure how many teams 400 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: in the NFC can say that they have a legitimate 401 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: chance to go out there and compete for the Super 402 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: Bowl this season. Aaron Rodgers is playing the best football 403 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: of his career the last two seasons. I could see 404 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: if there was a decline in his play that has 405 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 1: happened to the last couple of seasons going. I'm seeing 406 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: a little writing on the wall right now. Maybe we 407 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: should try to move on. It's not like he's going 408 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: in a direction towards Let's try to make sure we 409 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: make this move before it's too late eighty five to nine. 410 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: I just don't think that's something you go and do, 411 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: And that is not something that the Packers do. They 412 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: feel like they compete for championships year in and year out, 413 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: and moving on for Rogers would not allow you to compete, 414 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: probably for a super Bowl this season. I know this 415 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,959 Speaker 1: is something for us to talk about, but in my 416 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: humble opinion, Rogers ain't going nowhere. I know we're waiting 417 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: on his decision and all of that. Yeah, he got 418 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: a decision to make, but he's still in the contract. 419 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: Regardless or whatever the decision he wants to make, He's 420 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: still in the contract. And I know they agreed to 421 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: talk it out last year. They agreed to talk it 422 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: out this year to decide whether he wants to be 423 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: there or not. But just think about why guys leave teams. 424 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: Usually they leave teams because they aren't happy, they don't 425 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 1: have the ability to help the team make team decisions. 426 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: We saw Aaron Rodgers, you know Randall Cobb on the team. 427 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: We saw Aaron Rodgers more involved this past year. Maybe 428 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: if the team isn't competing. They went to two NFC 429 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: championships in the Division around, but they were the best 430 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 1: team in the NFC the last three years, so it's 431 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: not a competitive standpoint. It's not like he's on a 432 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: bad team. I think Aaron Rodgers needs to prove not 433 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: only to himself but to the rest of the football 434 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: world that he is that bad of a dude and 435 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers, the 436 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: team that drafted him, the team that's literally surrounded him 437 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: with everything he needs to win the Super Bowl. I'm 438 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: tired of talking about Aaron Rodgers because at the end 439 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: of the day, he's on a great team. What else 440 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: do you want Aaron Rodgers? Maybe some more money, maybe 441 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: that Maybe he's on a great team and he's in 442 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: a conference but you mentioned earlier does not have many 443 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 1: great teams. The Rams are a great team they were 444 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, or the Cowboys a great team, 445 00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 1: or the forty nine Ers who lost eight coaches and 446 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: might be starting TREYE. Lance a great team. Are the 447 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: Bucks without Tom Brady a great team. Like, the best 448 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: situation for Rogers is to stay put and run this 449 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: thing back and do it it. And I could tell 450 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: you that Matt Laflor wants him back. They didn't just 451 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: bring back Tom Clements at sixty eight years old to 452 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 1: be his quarterbacks coach after a year retired from the 453 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: game as just something that we absolutely need Tom clementson. No, 454 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: that was a gesture, hey, Rogers, or do we have 455 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: everything we can. Matt Laflor didn't have to go to 456 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 1: the NFL Honors to know where Mike Vrabel was winning 457 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 1: Coach of the Year. He was there to support his 458 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: quarterback and show him I'm here for you. I'm gonna 459 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: show I'm gonna fly out to Los Angeles. I'm gonna 460 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: pretend like I'm there because I know I'm gonna win 461 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: Coach of the Year. But I know that Frabel's winning, 462 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: and I will still be there for you because I'm 463 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: your guy. Does the front office look at this and say, 464 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: we can get three first round picks, we can see 465 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: if Jordan Love can play. We don't have to pay 466 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: this dude fifty million dollars. That's going to be the decision. 467 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: I don't think it's whether Rogers is a great quarterback 468 00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: or gives him the best chance to win. It's that 469 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: this is a long term deal. This is a long 470 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: term franchise, and at some point there is going to 471 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: be an era where Aaron Rodgers game does dip. Do 472 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: you wait till then to trade him? You get rid 473 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: of him now and get three first round picks, and 474 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: you can spread the love and you can see if 475 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 1: Jordan loves your honestly, the way that quarterbacks are playing, 476 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: the way that the rules are, I still think a 477 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: Rodgers still has great football ahead of him. I think 478 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: if Anon Rodgers wins another Super Bowl within the next 479 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: couple of years and he's still playing at a high level, 480 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: he's still playing at an MVP level, I think its 481 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: trade value will be even higher than I do. It'll 482 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: still be high, and they'll still be able to get 483 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: something from Aaron Rodgers. But I don't care if the 484 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers get three first round picks, do you 485 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: actually think they're going to be able to get somebody 486 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: in that building that could provide the level of confidence, 487 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: the level of street credibility, the level of performance. No 488 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: that Anon Rodgers brings. I don't think so. Yeah, the 489 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: report cards earlier, right, and we looked at the AFC West. Yeah, 490 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: you know what Teamy gave, gave an a tow the 491 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: economics and Denver. They're set up where they can go 492 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: make a very aggressive run to get Aaron Rodgers. You 493 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: know what they can do. John Elway can point to 494 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning and say, hey, look we bought in a 495 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: veteran quarterback who was incredible. Look what he did for 496 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: our franchise. Look at the young guys, the young receivers 497 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: you got, you got Noah Fan, you got Jerry Judy. 498 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: These are guys who we've not even begun to unlock 499 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: their potential. But they could do that with you. And 500 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: you know what, now you'll have your long term offensive 501 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: coordinator as your head coach. The Broncos know that they're 502 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: running out of time. They've had eleven different quarterbacks since 503 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning. It's time for them to have a quarterback 504 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: that's going to win them games in a very competitive 505 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: AFC West. That don't sound good. Eleven different quarterbacks as 506 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: Peyton I lived there. I think you've seen all live there. 507 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: I've introduced myself to all eleven, face to face, ripping 508 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: in a room. I can tell you some stories about 509 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: Broncos Wilder. So obviously then the conversation around Aaron Rodgers 510 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: is going to have to continue. We're going right back 511 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: to you, Tom Palace Sarah live in Indianapolis. Tom. I 512 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: know the Cardinals brass is arriving today in Indianapolis, and 513 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure there will be a lot of questions about 514 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: their quarterback as Kyler Murray's agent, Eric Burkhart released his 515 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: statement just this morning minutes ago about the quarterbacks future 516 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: with the Cardinals. It's a lengthy one. We'll get to 517 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: it in a second, but just as a summary, what 518 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: more can you tell us about the situation in Arizona 519 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: right now? As Kyler speaks again, Well, Peter, that statement 520 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: from Eric Burkhart makes clear several things. Number One, Kyler 521 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: Murray wants to be the Cardinals quarterback for the long haul. 522 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: Number two, he wants to win a Super Bowl. Number three, 523 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: he wants a commitment financially from the Cardinals now in 524 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: terms of a long term contract extension. Now, this is 525 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: something that we've been talking about since last week. It's 526 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: all about the contract at this stage for Murray. He's 527 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 1: entering the fourth year of his rookie contract, meaning he 528 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: is now eligible for an extension. He's seen guys like 529 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 1: Josh Allen de Shaan Watson get paid at this stage. 530 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 1: Murray is due about five point five million dollars in 531 00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: the fourth year of that rookie contract in twenty tw 532 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: twenty two. I will tell you I do not expect 533 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray to play for five point five million dollars 534 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: this season. In other words, the ball is now in 535 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: the Cardinals court. Do they pay Kyler Murray on a 536 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: long term extension now or do they run the risk 537 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: of their franchise quarterback not being there when training camp 538 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: begins in July. Guys, what are our thoughts on the 539 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: statement that his agent just released. Yeah, just hearing what 540 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: Tommy PA said. First of all, I agree with Tommy 541 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: P did a great job reporting on that he doesn't 542 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: believe that Kyler Murray's gonna play for the five May now. 543 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: So we're essentially given the team and ultimatum so to speak. 544 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 1: I mean, we're putting a pressure on the team. And 545 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: when you look at that statement, and I know that 546 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: anybody can go on Twitter and see the statement, and 547 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 1: you'll see exactly what was lined out here. You'll read 548 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: a little bit of it here. Give a cliff notes 549 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,199 Speaker 1: for me, like, look how long it is, and it 550 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: just seems like Kyler Murray and his agent, it seems 551 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: like they want to be paid now because they know 552 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: that the longer that they wait, maybe there or evidence 553 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: will be put out there that maybe Kyler isn't the guy. 554 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: I mean, he starts the season well every single year, 555 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: and then it seems like a round week eleven or twelve, 556 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: teams figure out not only the offense, but they figure 557 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 1: out Kyler Murray. And then all of a sudden, when 558 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: you talk about franchise quarterback, Kimmy, franchise quarterback, I'm under 559 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: the belief that your franchise quarterback has to make guys 560 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: around you better and you gotta be the catalysts that 561 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: makes everything go on the team. I'm not so sure 562 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,360 Speaker 1: that Kyler Murray is that for this team. I don't 563 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,239 Speaker 1: like Kylin Murray's body language when things isn't going right. 564 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: I don't like the fact that when de Sean DeAndre, 565 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, I'm sorry, sorry, when DeAndre Hopkins left out 566 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: of the lineup, it seemed like Kylin Murray was lost, 567 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,400 Speaker 1: didn't know who to throw the football too, and every 568 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: single time there was a bad play was almost like 569 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: it was the other player's fault. And now you hear 570 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: Kylin Murray coming out with all of us trying to 571 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 1: defend who he is as a football player. To me, 572 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: that's rand flags, guy as I'm sorry, that's red flags 573 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: that maybe Kyler Murray doesn't necessarily believe that he's the guy, 574 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: and he's trying to get paid right now, because again, 575 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,199 Speaker 1: the longer you wait, the more evidence that will be 576 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 1: out there that he isn't the guy. If I'm there 577 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: in the Arizona Cards, I don't pay him. I make 578 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: him play. I call this book bluff. I complete for 579 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: this five point nine out then hold out, man. I'll 580 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: play with McCoy. We won two games with them, and 581 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: Kote McCoy is gonna put the energy out there that 582 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 1: makes everybody else around me better. I'm just saying, Kyler, 583 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: you don't want them put teams on notice like this. 584 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: It could not go They might not go your way. 585 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: At the end. I've been going through this and I 586 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: listen to what em Rob says. It It's like was 587 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 1: this necessary? Is this necessary? I don't know what the 588 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 1: point of this statement is. It seems like, hey, we 589 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: would like a long term contract and you haven't given 590 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 1: us a long term contract offer. That seems to be it. 591 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: I don't know why we're doing this publicly between the 592 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: two sides. Uh. Maybe it has something to do with 593 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: the Bidwell's comments that came out recently, the owner of 594 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. And so my thought process is what 595 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: does this tell the rest of the other fifty two 596 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: guys on that team? What does this tell you about 597 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: the guy who's supposed to be the leader of your 598 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: franchise when this is how this is getting debated and 599 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: broken down between the organization and your franchise quarterback. I've 600 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: talked to people in that building. I know that they 601 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: think his talent is through the roof. But there has 602 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: to be some sort of thing, Peter, where there is 603 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: a disconnect between the two sides to where it seems 604 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: like some aspect of being their franchise quarterback they're potentially 605 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: unsure of moving forward. Yeah, I've known all these key 606 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: parties for a long time. Eric Burkhart has been an 607 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: agent in this league for a long time. I consider him, 608 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: as far as the agents go, one of the most 609 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: i'd say friendliest and also media friendly and also just 610 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: a great dude to be around. And he's Kyler's his 611 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: number one client. This is a huge pay day for 612 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: Eric Burkhart as well if they get this contract done. 613 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: This statement here, I'm looking at some of these sentences 614 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: and one of them says actions speak much louder than 615 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: words in this volatile business. That's in bold, and yet 616 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: there's a lot of words we're seeing right here and 617 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: this paragraph. It is now simply up to the Cardinals 618 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: to decide if they prioritize they're rapidly improving twenty four 619 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: year old, already two time Pro Bowl quarterback who led 620 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: the organization from three wins before his arrival to eleven 621 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: wins in their first playoff appearance in five years. That 622 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: is as big a swing out as an organization I've 623 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: ever heard from an agent publicly. A lot of that 624 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: stuff happens in whispers, and they'll tell Ian like, maybe 625 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: you should maybe mention the fact that he's twenty four 626 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: years old and he's rappid. No, this is the agent 627 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: coming out come one week. Let's go and I kind 628 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: of like it, Oh, kind of like it from the 629 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: agent side, like this is my guy, this is the quarterback. 630 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: Are you paying him forty million? Are you not? And 631 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: it puts the Cardinals and if you want to go 632 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: one layer deeper, and this is why you watch Good 633 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: Morning Football. Do you know who Cliff Kingsbury's agent is? 634 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: Do you know who it is? Eric Burkhart? Oh, you 635 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: want to talk about all sorts of types of dynamics 636 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: that go in to this. And now we go to 637 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: the combine. And I was on vacation last week and 638 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: I was sitting pool side, drinking on my tie, and 639 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: then someone said, what do you do? I expelled to it. 640 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: You must be relaxing. Super Bowl's done. It gets crazy. 641 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,959 Speaker 1: You're in the off season, and that's why you're watching 642 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: right now. This Kyler's statement to come out on the 643 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: Monday morning of the combine is planned, it's direct, and 644 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: it is a salvo at Steve Cime and Michael Bidwell 645 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: in that organization and say are you ready to pay 646 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: or not? Because we're ready to fight. And I can't 647 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: wait to see how this plays out because I don't 648 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: know if they're brave enough to do what you said. 649 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: And walk away. I think Kyler Murray might come out 650 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: of this thing of forty million dollars man and a 651 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: lot of people saying, all right, I guess that's our 652 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: quarterback for the future, and I get that, and that 653 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: may get him forty million dollars. I haven't been in 654 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: an NFL locker room. I mean, I mean in the 655 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: NFL locker rooms as a reporter, you are too, Peter 656 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: and Rob, what is this may get him forty million dollars? 657 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: What does this get him? In the locker room home 658 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: guys having separate conversations behind your bad guys kind of 659 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: talking and saying, oh man, why does he have to 660 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: do that in the public. Why couldn't he just walk 661 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: upstairs and say it. I mean, I think you get 662 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: some animosity that starts to build up when a guy 663 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: who maybe guys in that locker room don't always see 664 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: him as the straight leader of the locker room, being 665 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: paid like the leader of the locker room, putting the team, 666 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: putting pressure on the team in this way. I just 667 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: and Peter to your point, I agree. I think that 668 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: the agent is working to get the money for his client. 669 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: But I think they're making such a big splash about it, 670 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: because again he knows the longer they wait, the more 671 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: the proof is being put out there that Kyler may 672 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: not be the guy deserve it. Do you respect it 673 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: from the agent's perspective, and that instead of whispering to 674 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: Schefter and saying, can you put out this little nugget, 675 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: he's like, you know what, here we are boom. I 676 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: respect it from the agent's standpoint. I would have even 677 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: more respect if Kyler said it. If Kyler walked up 678 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: there and set it to the team, be a man, 679 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: big dog, you walk up there and handle your business, 680 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: and you can handle it behind closed doors and get paid. 681 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. But that's that's what I 682 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: would respect. But speaking of being a man taking it 683 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: to the team, being the leader, right, you're supposed to 684 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: be a leader of a locker room when you're you're 685 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback. That's the whole point of it, right. 686 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: The statement talked every which way about what the Cardinals 687 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: need to do. Where was the humility of like, hey, 688 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: we didn't do well in the playoffs, completely didn't finished. 689 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: We didn't do it, and you know what, since I 690 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: want to be here and make a long term commitment 691 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: to this team. Here are the ways in which I 692 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: know I need to grow and I need to step up. 693 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: Maybe that was missing, maybe that was paragraph seven. Make 694 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: it on the one sheet off, but that's you know 695 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 1: what I mean, Like we can have respect for like hey, 696 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: go go get your bread, whatever, go go do what 697 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: you want to do. You have to have humility in 698 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: those moments because the best quarterbacks call out themselves when 699 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: they do something totally and I think this statement here 700 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: is it's not even close to touching that. It's pay 701 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: him or don't. And we could talk about what happened 702 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, like pay him or tap black and 703 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: white with it. It seems that black and white pay 704 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: him or don't and if not, get him out of 705 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: town because someone else will. And I'll tell you this, 706 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: So there are a lot of teams someone else will 707 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: pay Kyler Murray that money. All right, well, we will 708 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: continue to read this. It's paragraph it's a commercial break. 709 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: Good time for us to go to breakwa When we 710 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: come back, the one and only Nate Burleson he will 711 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: be joining the breakfast table next and he'll give us 712 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: his thoughts on the combine. Some offseason stories plus more. Now, 713 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: it would not be a morning at Monday, excuse me 714 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: at GMFB without a little Nate Burleson. So let's welcome 715 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: back in our favorite triple threat ever, CBS morning co host, 716 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: contributor to the NFL Today as well as NFL Network, 717 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: the one and only mister Nate Burleson. Nate, good morning. 718 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: What's up, Kimmy checks and balances? How are you doing? 719 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: I like that? So, Nate, We just reacted to a 720 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: very lengthy statement from Kyler Murray's agent, his head coach's 721 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: agent as well, Eric Burkhart, putting some pressure on the 722 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: Cardinals to give Kyler a long term deal in Arizona. 723 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: What do you make of this move by Kyler's camp? 724 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 1: That's exactly what they're doing. They're applying pressure and I 725 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: just heard you guys speaking on it, and everybody was 726 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,240 Speaker 1: spot on. You know, Kyler isn't in a situation where 727 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to go into this season, and a 728 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: couple of things that could happen. He has a bad 729 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: season and all of a sudden, the Arizona Cardos are 730 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: looking at him saying you're not worth the money. Or 731 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: he gets injured, and then Arizona Cardos are gonna say, 732 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: you know what, you're banged up. We can't pay you 733 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: as much as some of these top tier quarterbacks. So 734 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: if I'm his representation, you know what, I'll take the criticism. Kyler. 735 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: You just remain quiet. You can follow the team back 736 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 1: on social media and we will put out a statement 737 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: that comes from us, not you. You just go out 738 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: there and play football and continue to play at a 739 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 1: high level. There are some questions is he a good quarterback? Yes? 740 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: Is he a great quarterback? Not? Yet. We've seen some 741 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: playoff performances where the team is saying, hold on, wait 742 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: a minute, we can't give you forty million per We 743 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: still haven't seen you do your thing in playoff game. 744 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: So I understand where their agents is representation, where they're 745 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: coming from. But back in the day, this wouldn't happen. 746 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: And speaking of that, there's a lot of people that say, 747 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 1: you know what, I don't understand why these players are 748 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: following and unfollowing these teams. This is social media, one 749 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: of the damn aids where it makes headlines when a 750 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,919 Speaker 1: team looks at a player and they're saying, wait a minute, 751 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: Kyler doesn't follow us. And to make this makes sense 752 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 1: for everybody that was maybe raised in the eighties, nineties, 753 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: early two thousands. You remember when you had your girlfriend 754 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: or your boyfriend and in your photo and then all 755 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you like took that picture out and 756 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: he was walking around like, you know what, Me and 757 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: Sheila broke up, and everybody's looking like, wait a minute, 758 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: to your girlfriend in the front of your binder, you 759 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,720 Speaker 1: don't no, we don't talk no more. She is tripping 760 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: over the weekend. So that's what it's like for those 761 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: who don't understand it. That's exactly what it is. That 762 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 1: was my jam Nate. But it was on a Transformers 763 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 1: trapper keeper. I sketched it in there too. So we're 764 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: talking Kyler Murray. But there's been a lot of talk 765 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: about some other quarterbacks mayga moved this offseason, like Russell Wilson, 766 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,879 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, one of these guys do you think will 767 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: most likely land in a new Jersey in the twenty 768 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 1: twenty two season, Not new Jersey, but in a new Jersey. 769 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 1: I don't know why, and this maybe is it's something 770 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 1: I shouldn't be saying because I'm a former Seahawk. I 771 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: would like to see Russell Wilson play somewhere else. You know, 772 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: we've seen them waffle back and forth. There's been trade rumors. 773 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: His agent came out and gave a potential list of teams. 774 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,439 Speaker 1: But the reason I say that not because I want 775 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 1: to rip Russell Wilson from Seattle and put them in 776 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 1: a position where they're struggling trying to replace him. I 777 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: just see what happened with the Los Angeles Rams, Like 778 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: they went out there and they made a bold move 779 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: to go get Matthew Stafford. We were all sitting back saying, well, 780 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,439 Speaker 1: is Matthew that guy? Is he going to be the man? 781 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,919 Speaker 1: A lot of people they didn't know Matthew Stafford's talent. 782 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: They were questioning whether he was going to be that 783 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 1: dude that can take him to the playoffs and beyond 784 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 1: this right there, that shows you exactly what Russell Wilson 785 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: can do if he lands with the team that has 786 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: the right pieces and the right coaching staff. I don't 787 00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: think he's going to go anywhere. I think the Seahawks 788 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: would be fools if they let Russell Wilson go. But 789 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 1: if it does, indeed happen, if he lands in the 790 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 1: right place, don't be surprised if you see Russell Wilson 791 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: in a Super Bowl again. Nate, just for the viewers 792 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: at home, we're talking about the Kyler thing. I just 793 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: got word Steve Kim. The GM has to speak tomorrow 794 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 1: morning at the combine. So if you don't think that 795 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,439 Speaker 1: was properly timed by Kyler and his guys, it's all 796 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: a game of chess, Nate Burlison, you know it all 797 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: too well. And one of the biggest stories coming out 798 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: of Super Bowl was whether Sean McVay would come back 799 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: or make the move into TV. You've made the move 800 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: into TV and say it's worked out pretty well. What 801 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 1: did you think of the whole Nickveay? Oh, I don't know. 802 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 1: Turning down offers if there were offers to return to 803 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:37,720 Speaker 1: the Rams, and what do you make of the Rams 804 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 1: this year? Small shrakes, There were some offers out there. 805 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 1: Don't play around, Okay, we all hurt the rumors. Listen, 806 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: we don't. We don't know if they're I can't confirm, 807 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 1: but I will say this. I did hear that it 808 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 1: was being floated out there that somebody was offering Sean 809 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 1: McVay twenty million. Now, if that is indeed the case, 810 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: I would have the deuces faster than Tyreek Hill on 811 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: a catch and run touchdown. I mean, shout out to 812 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: the Rams, but I'm out, fam um all jokes aside. 813 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 1: I like the fact that Sean McVay came out he said, 814 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,320 Speaker 1: I'm focused on the Los Angeles Rams. I am committed 815 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: to this team, this organization, and I would like to 816 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: defend our Super Bowl championship. So um, I get it. 817 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 1: I get why he chose to come back. One, U, 818 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:19,800 Speaker 1: you know what, You're at the top of the mountain. 819 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,399 Speaker 1: Defend it now.
